Die Religion… ist das Opium des Volkes

// 24th December

Here’s a mixtape. It’s a tribute to the scene in The Transporter where Lai won’t shut up despite Frank’s requests for her to be quiet. Or it’s about a boy’s waning interest in one girl and sparking interest in another (and bored digression into Christmas politics?), and the girl’s subsequent confusion and anger. It’s not really though, it’s just the junk I have been listening to lately. Special guest: far too much emo rock.

Side A

I am the broken one, I’ll trade me in for anything
Hey, I admit I messed you up

(Hey! No more questions from you)
Talking that way
Walking away
I used to know you but now I can’t say
We were all made up
All made up of mysteries
so I had to find free, had to run clean

(That fire that burned in your hoping hands and that water behind your eyes
They once brought me to your side but now they won’t and don’t ask me why
‘Cause who knows)
I finally found that life goes on without you

(And the world still turns when you’re not around)
Put your hand on my heart
Or where my heart’s supposed to be

(See you in Hell)
I swear that I searched everywhere

(But I’m damned if I could find your promise ring)
Cover up my ears from your cries

(I’d like to let you win, but I won’t back down)
You take the pieces of the dreams that you have
‘Cause you don’t like the way they seem to be going
You cut them up and spread them out on the floor
You’re full of hope as you begin rearranging

(But anyway you look at things and try
The lovers are losing)
Yeah anything is true
When you’re as pretty as you

(But when you get a look at his life it’s too late)
I’ve been sitting here all night trying to figure out how I felt

(Girl you look so good in the evening light
When the moon is right and the stars are bright)
Heartstrings, you’re tugging at my heartstrings now, heartstrings
Helpless, I’ve become so helpless to your touch,
Oh touch me somehow!

(Cadence! Well I dance with the dead
‘Cause I believe, yes I believe, yes I believe
Stifle! Paul said that you stifled him
Again and again and again!)
It’s a shame
It’s a shame
It’s a shame

(That’s what it is)
Run away from it all

(Here’s what I think about you and how your friends
How your friends adore your sudden glory)
We are anti-movements, we are anti-anti
One time we believed but now it’s passé and cliché
And she’ll say anything to make you move again
But is it the truth?
I don’t care if it is

(You say there’s nothing wrong but I don’t hear it)
I’m looking down the hole
You’re looking up at me
You’re cold and tired
That is easy to see

(It rubs the lotion on its skin
Or else it get the hose again)

Side B

Are we breaking up?
Are we breaking up?
Is there trouble between you and I?
Did my heart break enough
Did it break enough this time?

(Here’s to all the pretty girls
You’re gonna meet)
I don’t want to lose

(There’s still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
There’s still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
It’s still a little hard to say what’s going on)
I’m cracking up
And you have no idea

(No idea how it feels)
There’s still a little bit of your song in my ear
There’s still a little bit of your words I long to hear
You step a little closer to me
So close that I can’t see what’s going on

(It’s not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball)
What a wicked game you play
To make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do
To let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say
You never felt this way

(I never dreamed that I’d meet somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I’d lose somebody like you)
Oh now I find every subtle thing screams your name
It reminds me of places and times we’ve shared

(Retrace the steps we took on that long summer night
I’m back there by your side
Retrace the steps we took when we met worlds away)
Such a perfect island, tucked away in the sea

(Such a long, long way back home
So close, yet we’ve come so far)
Oh Stevie, oh Stevie, why can’t you see? You’re a god to me

(Alcatraz has nothing on her after all this time)
However far away
I will always love you

(Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again)
Tell me baby, where did I go wrong?

(I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they’d only remind me of you)
Caught in a crux, I’m calling it love

(You play your mind like a beautiful instrument
Cut a fool down to size with your intellect
Yeah I know you’re kind of scared of gettin’ intimate
We both hold back from really getting in to this
Well let’s risk it and see what come
Because we stick together like bass line to bass drum)
It seems like you’ve done this before

(The best you could hope to be
Is now just a bittersweet memory and
You make breaking hearts look so easy!)
Down on my bended knees
I break the back of love for you

(It’s in the water baby, it’s in the pills that pick you up
It’s in the water baby, it’s in the special way we fuck)
I want you to want me like water
Hunger for me like your favourite dish now
Long for my face

(Let me kiss you on the back of your knees)
Endless as a desert sky

(The one thing, the one thing I know
The one thing I know to be true
I’ll never, I’ll never, wherever I go
I’ll never finish loving you)
Will you make a plan to love me sometime soon?

(Some things you lose
You don’t get back)
I’m trying, but I just can’t get you

(Ever since the day I left you)
Once in a lifetime, I could feel this way
Once in a lifetime, you could feel it too

(Never understood my undeveloped story
But it makes sense to me, you make sense to me)
You, the only sense the world has ever made

(Is this making sense?
What am I trying to say?
Early evening June
This room and a radio play
This I need to save
I choose my final thoughts today
Switching off with you
All the clocks give in
And the traffic fades
And the insects like a neon choir
The instant fizz
Connection made
And the curtains sigh
In time
With you)
All I need is you

(I wanted to explode
To pull my ribs apart
And let the sun inside)
Stay by me
You are the one, my only true love

(Everything is collapsing, dear
All moral sense has gone
It’s just history repeating itself
And babe, you turn me on
Like an idea…
Like an atom bomb…)
