Nothing but regrets

I knew I'd made a horrible call

- Death Cab For Cutie, Crooked Teeth

On drinking

Now show some pity, for the weak of will
Because when we're drinking, we can never be filled

- Swans, Blind

You're here in my head

You're like my yo-yo
That glowed in the dark
What made it special
Made it dangerous
So I bury it
And forget

But every time it rains
You're here in my head
Like the sun coming out

- Kate Bush, Cloudbursting

For your journey

Time has come to let go
Pack your bags - hit the open road
Our hearts just won’t die
It’s the trip
Keeps us alive
So many miles
Away

- Still Corners, The Trip

How soon is now?

In spite of all the love inside me
There is a question I've been asking
Heaven
How long?

Girls

Oh you girls, you drive me crazy.

The future

A forehead barred with those parallel wrinkles that are the penalty of superciliousness, since they come through constantly elevating the eyebrows.

- G.K. Chesterton, The Secret Garden

It's a drug life

I'm waiting for the time,
When I can be without,
These things that make me feel,
This way all of the time .

On deep fears

I can be hard to live with. I don’t mean to be, but I can be critical. Sometimes I think I’m just not good for people. It’s… not good for them to be around me. I wear them down. They get unhappy.

Rustin Cohle, True Detective "Seeing Things"

You don't have to be afraid, love

You don't have to be afraid, love
cos I'm a safesurfer, darlin'

- Julian Cope, Safesurfer

Struggling

It wasn't like a rain it was more like a sea
I didn't ask for this pain it just came over me

- The National, Pink Rabbits

Me and my truelove

You're just the same as I am
What makes most people feel happy
Leads us headlong into harm

- The Smiths, Paint A Vulgar Picture

On nightmares

I gotta get too drunk to dream
cos I only dream of you
I gotta get too pissed to miss you
or I'll never get to sleep

- The Magnetic Fields, Too Drunk To Dream

Dragged down by strange attractors

I must say I was smitten so long ago
I got caught, pulled right down by your undertow
Just like the stars always shine
Just like them, you can't be mine...

- Puressence, You Move Me

How could I forget? Although somedays I wish I could.

Do you remember how we started out?

- Teleman, 23 Floors Up

On going down

So I go
I fathom leagues
I am the undertow
I wait peacefully

- TV On The Radio, Satellite

On old flames

And nothing fuels a good flirtation,
Like need and anger and desperation.

- Aimee Mann, The Moth

How girls should smell

Pebbles - salt & dirt. A good smell.

- Anonymous, discussing Like A Motorway

A lonely land

never hoped to understand
love is a barren land
a lonely land
a lonely land

- Cory & Cross, Deep Song 

(performed by Billie Holiday / Babes In Toyland)

On growing older

My body is a broken TV
Endlessly playing the flickering picture
Of the boy I used to be

- The Wave Pictures, Better To Be Loved
