Songs: Patrick Wolf
I'm madly in love with Patrick Wolf's album "The Magic Position" right now and thought I'd share a couple of songs from it. These two songs are what I would call resolutely happy, the kind of determined, deliberate happiness of a person who knows their choices and prefers to be happy, if that makes sense. It's stompy-happy music.
The Magic Position
So let the people talk
It's Monday morning walk
Right past the fabulous mess we're in
It's gonna be a beautiful day
So do the bluebirds sing
As I take your hand
And you take my kiss
And I take the world
'Cause out of all the people I've known
The places I've been
The songs that I have sung
The wonders I've seen
Now that the dreams are all coming true
Who is the one that leads me on through
It's you
Who puts me in the magic position, darling now
You put me in the magic position
To live, to learn, to love in the major key
And I know how you've hurt
And been dragged through the dirt
But c'mon get back up
It's the time to live
So give your love to me
I'm gonna keep it carefully
Deep in the treasure chest below my breast
'Cause out of all the people I've known
The places I've been
The songs that I have sung
The wonders I've seen
Now that the dreams are all coming true
Who is the one that leads me on through
It's you
Who puts me in the magic position, darling now
You put me in the magic position, darling now
Let me put you in the magic position, darling
'Cause I'm singing in the, the major key
Let me put you in the major key
Accident & Emergency--I think is my theme song for the badass Morrison/Waid JLA right now. :)
Emergency!
So c'mon,
Give me the worst and then again
I'm feeling braver than I've ever been
From the skull down to the feet
All out for blood and sweat and meat
and for
Accident! Emergency!
To terrorists, catastrophe
Drop this agony, and misery
Give me accident and emergency.
So what happens when you lose everything?
You just carry on and with a grin
(Sing!)
For all that your life has to bring,
And just get yourself back into the ring.
(Knock it out!)
For accident and emergency
To terrorists, catastrophe
Drop this agony, and misery
Hold on for accident and emergency.
If you never lose
How you gonna know when you won
If it's never dark
How you gonna know the sun
When it shines
You've got to let it shine
(Accident. Emergency.
Accident. Emergency.
C'mon!
Accident. Emergency.
Accident. Emergency.
C'mon!)
Accident and emergency
bringing out the best in me
