Omg I love this but cracks me up
I meant to say, I came across this song when my son was setting me up a playlist on his Spotify. As I was selecting songs some recommendations popped up and this was at the top. Iāve never heard it before nor even heard of the artist. A sign perhaps? I choose to believe soā¦
Itās now almost a year since Karen died.
I heard this song this afternoon and I realised that I now hope that I wonāt always be sitting alone with thoughts of yesterday. Itās not what I want and Iām sure it isnāt what Karen would have wanted for me either.
Incidently, this is a cover version, for those looking for the original, look for Strawberry Switchbade
Karine Polwart Since Yesterday
Just close your eyes and then remember
The thoughts youāve locked away
When tomorrow comes youāll wish
You had today
And as we sit here alone
Looking for a reason to go on
Itās so clear that all we have now
Are our thoughts of yesterday
If youāre still there when itās all over
Iām scared Iāll have to say
That a part of you has gone
Since yesterday
And as we sit here alone
Looking for a reason to go on
Itās so clear that all we have now
Are our thoughts of yesterday
Well, maybe this could be the ending
With nothing left of you
A hundred wishes couldnāt say
I donāt want to
Itās so clear that all we have now
Are thoughts of yesterday
My feet are aching
And your back is pretty tired
And weāve drunk a couple bottles, babe
And set our grief aside
The Papers say itās doomsday
The button has been pressed
Weāre gonna nuke each other up boys
'Til old Satan stands impressed
And here it is, our final night alive
And as the earth burns to the ground
Oh girl itās you that I lie with
As the atom bomb locks in
Oh itās you I watch TV with
As the world, as the world caves in
You put your finest suit on
I paint my fingernails
Oh weāre going out in style babe
And everythingās on sale
We creep up on extinction
I pull your arms right in
I weep and say goodnight love
While my organs pack it in
And here it is, our final night alive
And as the earth burns to the ground
Oh girl itās you that I lie with
As the atom bomb locks in
Oh itās you I watch TV with
As the world, as the world cavesā¦
Oh itās you that I lie with
As the atom bomb locks in
Yes itās you I welcome death with
As the world, as the world caves in
As the world caves in
Just heard it today, definitely words of meaning
āIām everythinā I am, because you loved me.ā Never a truer word spoken.
Hope that works, good night.
Obviously not, Al Green How Can You Mend a Broken Heart.
Night.
Simone Felice To be you, to be me
As I wait in silence for the sound of an oncoming train,
I havenāt been that way for years.
Will I fall down on my knees?
And will the air kiss me like home?
Iāve forgotten how that feels.
No one ever plans to grow up and be a junkie.
No one ever plans to grow up and be a thief.
I donāt know what itās like to be you, darling.
You donāt know what itās like to be me.
All the years have fallen by now
Would you recognize me if I stood in rags before you?
Only chaff against the wind, shaking here & his mind fills with lace.
And every day is new.
No one ever plans to turn their life down a dark street.
Weāre all looking for a way to find the things we lose.
You donāt know what itās like to be me, darling.
And I donāt know what itās like to be you.
No one ever plans to grow up and be a junkie.
No one ever plans to grow up and be a thief.
Donāt we all need someone to hold onto?
(Oh and) Donāt we all need something to believe?
I donāt know what itās like to be you, darling.
You donāt know what itās like to be me.
I donāt know what itās like to be you, my darling.
And you donāt know what itās like to be me.
Thatās the one Kate, thank you.
Donāt know why i canāt link myself, probably cos Iām daft.
Iāll try another.
See if that works.
