This song is really depressing, but just gorgeous. A friend of mine listened to it a lot around the time his girlfriend left him. It actually helped him get better, even after he tried to kill himself. (I did NOT recommend this song. In fact I took away some of his CDs for a while after the incident.) But good or ill, I have strong memories attached to this song. I think the real quality of the lyrics lies in the imagery. "Lollipops and crisps," "tiny hands," etc. There are some of the more obvious things we associate with romance and longing, but also some of the little details that make things feel real and not just a sort of rhetorical study. Anyway, depressing as all-get-out (what does that phrase mean?), today's song of the day is Radiohead's "True Love Waits"
True Love Waits
Radiohead
I'll drown my beliefs
To have you be in peace
I'll dress like your niece
To wash your swollen feet
Just don't leave
Don't leave
I'm not living
I'm just killing time
Your tiny hands
Your crazy kitten smile
Just don't leave
Don't leave
And true love waits
In haunted attics
And true love lives
On lollipops and crisps
Just don't leave
Don't leave
Just don't leave
Don't leave
True Love Waits
Radiohead
I'll drown my beliefs
To have you be in peace
I'll dress like your niece
To wash your swollen feet
Just don't leave
Don't leave
I'm not living
I'm just killing time
Your tiny hands
Your crazy kitten smile
Just don't leave
Don't leave
And true love waits
In haunted attics
And true love lives
On lollipops and crisps
Just don't leave
Don't leave
Just don't leave
Don't leave
