This song makes me cry...and especially in light of the current state of things in this country. I love Kimya Dawson.
Loose lips might sink ships but loose gooses take trips
to San Francisco, double dutch disco,
tech. TV hottie, do it for scottie
do it for the living and do it for the dead
do it for the monsters under your bed
do it for the teenagers and do it for your mom
broken hearts hurt but they make us strong and
[we won't stop until somebody calls the cops
and even then we'll start again and just pretend that
nothing ever happened X2]
we're just dancing, we're just hugging,
singing, screaming, kissing, tugging
on the sleeve of how it used to be
how's it gonna be?
I'll drop kick Russell Stover, move into the starting over house
and know Matt Rouse and Jest are watching me achieve my dreams
and we'll pray, all damn day, every day,
that all this shit our president has got us in will go away
while we strive to figure out a way we can survive
these trying times without losing our minds
so if you wanna burn yourself remember that I love you
if you wanna cut yourself remember that I love you
if you wanna kill yourself remember that I love you
call me up before your dead, we can make some plans instead
send me an IM, I'll be your friend
shysters live from scheme to scheme and my 4th quarter pipe dreams
are seeming more and more worth fighting for
so I'll curate some situations, make my job a big vacation
and I'll say fuck Bush and fuck this war
my war paint is Sharpie ink and I'll show you how much my shit stinks
and ask you what you think because your thoughts and words are powerful
they think we're disposable, while both my thumbs opposable,
spelled out on a double word and triple letter score and
[we won't stop until somebody calls the cops
and even then we'll start again and just pretend that
nothing ever happened X4]
we're just dancing, we're just hugging,
singing, screaming, kissing, tugging
on the sleeve of how it used to be

Very cool. Thanks!
Yes, she's great. I like this song a lot, as well as Underground, My Mom, and the song called, I like Giants. Oh, and Tree Hugger from Juno Soundtrack. We should start a KD tribute band. Do you play anything?
Never heard of her. I've been sheltered since my loss of a job took away my commute (great time to groove to the tunes) and the lack of funds keep me close to home....I felt like crying too but I'm not sure why. I know that I'm depressed. How much bio and how much life? Don't know. M- that was my wife that I blogged about. Slit her wrists. I lived my years working MH all over again. Called EMS...dealt with police. All very calm. What tha fuck to do?
I hate me, life, my job, everybody, right now.
But I'm trying....to be thankful. To be grateful. To think of everyone first or myself first...whats the difference? Everything just sucks so much. I feel guilty for wanting to die and wanting to kill.
Sorry to vent...but you're the only who has been able to listen..
Makes me want to cry.
Tim, hang in there. It's got to get better right? I have to believe that too because lately I think about death too. People keep telling me it will get better so I keep fighting but sometimes I feel like I'm already half dead.
hey all...and especially tim and denver. i know...this song resonates with me too...i have been there...thinking the worst things. please please please hang in there. i know... easier said than done but we have to keep on. you matter. you are important. through your very survival of all the shit that life can offer...you will help someone else to cope.
i will be thinking of you both.
