Covered ground just to reach your house I know we need to talk but I can’t catch my thoughts Insides gripped scared of what you’ll think Words I cant repeat Could change all we’ve got Set it off someone better hit the alarm Set it off someone better help me disarm myself I don’t want …

Slope be damned indeed
Sometimes you just have to turn and give two fingers to things like slippery slopes. Sometimes you just have to live. Last night I lay in bed and listened to loud rock music on my iPod. It’s been so long since I did that! I had to laugh at myself, because about three times during …
A song and a poem
I just discovered this song, it’s beautiful. Mmmmm, snuggly winter music. Must try the rest of the album now… Listen online here. And I just wrote this. Poetry has been a long time coming, I’ve missed it. Don’t knock me off my perch I’m fragile up here Confident and calm The slightest word will send …
Lyrics are all I can come up with today
The stars are bright tonight And I am walking nowhere Guess I will be alright Desire gets you nowhere And you are always right I thought you were so perfect Take you as you were Have you as you were Take you as you were I love you just the way you are I love …
They make my heart melt
Radiohead’s new album; one song stands out and catches at my throat making it swell ’til I can’t speak. I know this feeling so well. I’m the next act Waiting in the wings I’m an animal Trapped in your hot car I am all the days That you choose to ignore You are all I …
My Name
If you haven’t already heard of Lhasa De Sela and her 2nd album The Living Road, I’d advise you to go and have a listen. I borrowed it from the library last year, but it’s rather got neglected since. Yesterday evening on the train back from Cornwall, one of her songs came on as the …
Moving On and Passing By
Just two quotey things today, because I can only unshuffle my mind long enough to extract meaning from things other people say. Leaving home and living on my own is looking like a real, fresh possibility for the first time ever. Doing things for the first time ever… sometimes that works out for me and …
Today is already yesterday
I meant to go to bed, but then I realised I hadn’t taken my 365 picture, and then I remembered I had to listen to a Nouvelle Vague song one more time before I went to sleep. And when I played it, my day came back to me, and I thought I should at least …
Wedding Belles
Last night on Channel 4. I wasn’t expecting to enjoy it, but I really did. It had heart, man. Or should that be, hen. By the end of the two hours I was thinking in a Scottish accent. I especially liked Michelle Gomez, formerly of Green Wing fame. It was beautiful at the end because …
There’s no love no money no thrill anymore
Clearing out old memories and I’m there again… Jagged Little Pill, so battered the writing on the cassette is worn away. The summer I turned 14 I played it so much it broke and had to be mended with sellotape. After that it always skipped from Not The Doctor to Wake Up and when I …
