Usually I post as a way to vent, to give my life update to the friends I rarely talk to (but I still care about!), or to find out what other people think about an issue.
Today's entry is to inform, not of myself, but of a certain musical artist. Rufus Wainwright is my newest craving. His music is timeless, eclectic, and true. I highly recommend him, but I've heard that his following consists of mostly older women and men of the gay community. Whatever. My favorite album is his new one, Poses. Here's one of his lovely works of art:
Rufus Wainwright - Cigarettes And Chocolate Milk Lyrics
cigarettes and chocolate milk
these are just a couple of my cravings
everything it seems i like's a little bit stronger
a little bit thicker
a little bit harmful for me
if i should buy jellybeans
have to eat them all in just one sitting
everything it seems i like's a little bit sweeter
a little bit fatter
a little bit harmful for me
and then there's those other things
which for several reasons we won't mention
everything about them is a little bit stranger
a little bit harder
a little bit deadly
it isn't very smart
tends to make one part so broken-hearted
sitting here remembering me
always been a shoe made for the city
go ahead, accuse me of just singing about places
with scrappy boys faces
have general run of the town
playing with prodigal songs
takes a lot of sentimental valiums
can't expect the world to be your raggedy andy
while running on empty
you little old doll with a frown
you got to keep in the game
maintaining mystique while facing forward
i suggest a reading of 'a lesson in tightropes'
or 'surfing your high hopes' or 'adios kansas'
it isn't very smart
tends to make one part so broken-hearted
still there's not a show on my back
holes or a friendly intervention
i'm just a little bit heiress, a little bit irish
a little bit tower of pisa whenever i see you
so please be kind if i'm a mess
cigarettes and chocolate milk
(And no, for the record, I don't smoke, but isn't it a great song? He's on Yahoo Music if you're interested.)
