On the Magical iPod
Mercy I Cry City
Incredible String Band
Since you got me here
I see you’re trying to steal my soul
Your army’s trying so very hard
To find for me a goal
But where’s your quiet pastures
Where there’s time for me to be
Nothing else but what I am
That’s what you seem scared to see
You cover up your emptiness
With brick and noise and rush
Oh, I can see and touch you
But you don’t owe reality much
Have mercy I cry city, you’re all upon my mind
And sometimes I think you keep forgettin’
That you don’t know me
Mercy I cry city, you’re all upon my mind
Oh, send another carriage
Chugging down your chokey tube
I hope it makes you happy
‘Cause it don’t do my health much good
You’re slowly killing fumes
Now squeeze the lemon in my head
Make me know just what it’s like
For a sin drenched Christian to be dead
Ah, show to me your glitter
And your flashing neon light
You see, I think that only the sun knows
How to be quietly bright
Have mercy I cry city, you’re all upon my mind
That sometimes I think you keep forgettin’
That you don’t know me
Mercy I cry city, you’re all upon my mind
Oh city, what you been doin’?
All these years, what you been doin’?
Who would believe that what you been doin’
Would make such a ruin of you?
Hey city, what you been doin’?
All these years, what you been doin’?
Who would believe that what you been doin’
Would make such a ruin of you?
Tell me city
Ain’t it foggy outside
Foggy weather always makes me think of America’s Sandman.
Bang Your Head
I saw this on the loading dock, and now I have Quiet Riot stuck in my head.
Musical Interlude
Sleeping At Last, Pacific Blues
God knows that i know we’re little boats in the great big sea.
setting sail after sail in the hopes of finding a breeze.
That bit gets into my head, and it stays there for days.
Shovels and Rope
Beautiful music from some beautiful people.
Musical Interlude
I’ve been working on genealogy puzzles, which means the Magical iPod is playing on shuffle. Every so often, a song comes up that I can’t ignore, and this is one of them. It’s one of the saddest songs I’ve ever heard, and it makes me cry every time I hear it.
Neko Case, I Wish I Was the Moon
Chimney falls and lovers blaze
Thought that I was young
Now I’ve freezing hands and bloodless veins
As numb as I’ve become
I’m so tired, I wish I was the moon tonight
Last night I dreamt I’d forgotten my name
‘Cause I sold my soul
But I woke just the same
I’m so lonely, I wish I was the moon tonight
God bless me I’m a free man
With no place free to go
Paralyzed and collared tight
No pills for what I fear
This is crazy, I wish I was the moon tonight
Chimney falls and lovers blaze
Thought that I was young
Now I’ve freezing hands and bloodless veins
As numb as I’ve become
I’m so tired, I wish I was the moon tonight
How will you know if you’ve found me at last?
‘Cause I’ll be the one, be the one, be the one
With my heart in my lap
I’m so tired
I’m so tired
And I wish I was the moon tonight’

In case you were wondering what the Interwebz are for. They are for this. So now you know. This, and cute pictures of cats.
About Elvis
I was never much of an Elvis fan, but I will always remember the day he died because my best friend at the time, Vicky Poff, was heartbroken. She spent the night at my house that night and brought all her Elvis records and magazines with her, and we stayed up all night, having our own little wake for him.
Suspicious Minds by Elvis Presley
Deluge
We were, indeed, waiting for the flood.
