>She's a Latter Day Saint
>But she's a Saturday sinner
>Suicide Sunday desserts for weekends drinking her dinner
>The worry keeps her slender
>The pills keep her awake
>Her man can't make her happy, but he helps to still the shakes
>Met her boyfriend at the bar, said he'd stick to beer
>Said I could keep the cocktails, martinis taste like tears
>I asked if he would leave her
>What with all the grief
>He passed the pitcher back to me and asked what I believe
>And I said virginity is a childhood disease
>And these days it seems have interest in the addict thief
>Patience for the epigrammatic, the brief
>There's only four ways to acquire
>Anyone says different is a salesman or a liar
>You can find it, earn it, make it or steal it
>I haven't found a single way to keep it
>Cause you can leash it, it'll leave
>You can teach it to stay and it'll leave
>You can case and display it, decay and waste it away
>And day by day it leaves you by degrees
>He put his hand on my knee, sometimes that's what it takes
>He doesn't make me happy, but he helps to still the shakes

nice

Do you listen to music while reading? Does it help or hinder?

>Around young, beautiful, fat women, I am generally thrown into confusion. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because an image of their dietary habits naturally congeals in my mind. When I see a goodly sized woman, I have visions of her mopping up that last drop of cream sauce with bread, wolfing down that final sprig of watercress garnish from her plate. And once that happens, it’s like acid corroding metal: scenes of her eating spread through my head and I lose control.
Murakami gets it

The more I read, the less I know, the more I like to let it go

There's a place that I go,
That nobody knows.
Where the rivers flow,
And I call it home.
And there's no more lies.
In the darkness, there's light.
And nobody cries.
There's only butterflies.

The sun is on my side.
Take me for a ride.
I smile up to the sky.
I know I'll be all right.
The sun is on my side.
Take me for a ride.
I smile up to the sky.
I know I'll be all right.

Discovered the smiths 3 weeks ago, and ended up listening all the albums.

Does Morrisey still have the same essence of The Smiths? I heard Marr is the one tho
