“Shut the f— up, Sanguinet.”

This bitch got me payin’ her rent, payin’ for trips
Diamonds on her neck, diamonds on her wrists
And here I am all alone (All alone)
I’m so cold, I’m so cold
You got me out here

Smokin’ out the window (Smokin’ out the window)
Singin’, “How could she do this to me?”
(How could she do this to me?)
Oh, I thought that girl belonged to only me (Mmm)
But I was wrong
‘Cause she belong
To everybody, everybody, ooh

And I realise
If you ask me how I’m doing
I would say I’m doing just fine
I would lie and say that you’re not on my mind

If you are that special lover
And love keeps you tied to another
That’s the way it goes on love’s train

High in the halls of the kings who are gone
Jenny would dance with her ghosts

The ones she had lost and the ones she had found
And the ones who had loved her the most

The ones who’d been gone for so very long
She couldn’t remember their names

They spun her around on the damp old stones
Spun away all her sorrow and pain

And she never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave
Never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave

Yes!!!

I used to watch that along with “Battle of the Planets” which came before.

I always felt that the Babylon 5  spinoff series “Crusade” was a ripoff of that animation.

“Crusade” didn’t make it past episode 13 because the “network” demanded from the content more than

There’s something wrong with her
With my world in front of my girl
There’s something wrong with her
Something really, really wrong with her

All is to be true

 

Now, for you and me it may not be that hard to reach our dreams
But that magic feeling never seems to last
And all the future’s there for anyone to change, still you know it seems
It would be easier sometimes to change the past

Well that is that and this is this
You tell me what you want and I’ll tell you what you get
You get away from me
You get away from me

Random song lyric of the day:

Then a tall shadow dressed the way that secrets always dress
When they want everyone to know that they’re around
Comes leaning in, comes whispering
“My friend over there don’t know what she’s talking about”
Did you really believe? come one, did you really believe?
That everyone makes it out?
Almost no one makes it out
Almost no one makes it out

From “Almost Was Good Enough” by Magnolica Electric Co., whose leading figure Jason Molina also didn’t make it out. Died aged 36 of alcoholism.

Random song lyric of the day:

Though this world’s essentially an absurd place to be living in
It doesn’t call for (bubble withdrawal)
It said human existence is pointless
As acts of rebellious solidarity

La Resistance!

Words to fucking live by. La Resistance!

In memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Four men on the balcony
Overlooking the parking lot
Pointing at a figure in the distance
Dr. King has just been shot
And the sirens long melody
Singing savior pass me not

Ain’t it strange the way we’re ignorant
How we seek out bad advice
How we jigger it and figure it
Mistaking value for the price
And play a game with time and love
Like a pair of rolling dice

So beautiful, so beautiful

You’re dead, Carl. You say “no” to life and therefore, you’re not living. You make up excuses to the people around you and to yourself. You’re stuck in the same dead-end job you’ve had for years. You don’t have a girlfriend. You don’t have anything close to a girlfriend. And you lost the love of your life because she couldn’t be with someone who didn’t live theirs. And on most nights you’re so bored and filled with ennui, you can’t even summon the enthusiasm necessary to masturbate. Am I right, Carl?
