song endings

Smile, smile Bobby, with your lovely mouth.
Pack up your troubles, let’s head out
to the fountain of death
& splash about, swim back and forth
& laugh out loud,

until the day is ending,
& the birds are silent in the branches,
& the insects are courting in the bushes,
& by the shores of lovely lakes
heavy stones are falling.

- PJ Harvey

Go build yourself another dream, this choice isn’t mine.

- R.E.M., So. Central Rain

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.

- R.E.M.

You gotta drive all night
Just to feel like you’re okay.

These days I barely get by.

- Beck, Golden Age

Moved out of the house, so you moved next door,
I locked you out, you cut a hole in the wall,
I found you sleeping next to me, I thought I was alone,
You’re driving me crazy, when are you coming home?

- James, Laid

And I am doing nothing wrong 
Riding in your car 
Your radio playing 
We sing up to the eighth floor 
A rooftop, in Manhattan 
One in the morning 
When you said something 
That I’ve never forgotten 
When you said something 
That was really important

- PJ Harvey, You Said Something

sew it on
face the fool
the mirrors lie
those aren’t my eyes
destroy them raise my hand
reflected in savage shards
a new face a, soul reborn
you’ll taste it
you’ll taste it
in time
the right words
in time
