The Battlefield Where the Girls Say I Love You



That's just the thing: we will never tell you we love you. In fact, we're here only to hold hands across state lines and yell at the world. We're here to try to touch you across this chasm of flown things. Not even that. At most, I will teach you how to make a gin smoothie when there's nothing left in the house. Hannah can teach you several languages and what to do when your car breaks up with you. Thanks for coming out.

i've never heard the amy winehouse song, "me and mr. jones."

is it a rip-off of "mr. jones and me," by counting crows?

am currently addicted (re-addicted?) to "rain king" by aforementioned counting crows. it says something about my current state of mind, methinks.

rain king is clearly their best song. except for every song on across a wire.

sallylynn said...

wait, and will you make me a mix cd of these songs?

i was listening to workshop vol. I today and was so happy i could've cried.

sallylynn said...

and, hannah, i think of you and the back deck and how very happy i was in july whenever counting crows comes on the stereo.

god, i'm such a sap. but, i'm a truthful sap.

hannah said...

1. yes i will make you a cd
2. jesus, you're going to make me CRY. there's no CRYING in blogging.
3. p.s. i carry your heart in my heart.

the heart of the world is broken?

revised: the heart of the world is broken by counting crows?

take three: the heart of the world is broken by mamie's mix cds that contain a song by counting crows?
