lyrics of the day (speaking of rape culture): Regina Spektor’s “Long Brown Hair”
She had long brown hair
All down her breast
Made me think about my future
Made me think about my past.
She was so pretty
pretty as can be.
And I thought, “My God,
why shouldn’t it be me?”Oh, god. Why shouldn’t it be me?
Her skin was tight.
Her manner was free.
She gave me that look
that seemed to say, “Hey, you look at me.”
Her smile was crooked and good
As she sucked her Capriand I thought, “my god.
why shouldn’t it be me?”C’mon, c’mon, c’mon, God.
Why shouldn’t it be me?Her body was free
And I bet filled with her love.Don’t tell me what’s proper
Anyone can see
I wasn’t even her first
So don’t blame it on me
She was so pretty,
as pretty as can be.
And I thought, “My god,
Why shouldn’t it be me?
Oh come on this once, God.
Why shouldn’t it be me?”Her body was free
Oh, and I bet filled with her love.Now you all read the bible, right?
You know what the bible says?
I’ll tell you what it says.
Don’t put a stumbling block in front of someone who can’t see.
Don’t put a beautiful body in front of someone who’s hungry.She was so pretty,
As pretty as can be,
And I thought, “My god,
Why shouldn’t it be me,”
Oh come on, come on, come on.Her body was free
Oh and I bet filled with her love.
Song of the day: Genius Next Door, Regina Spektor.
the kids were waking up hung over
the neighbours were starting up their cars
the garbage men were emptying the dumpsters
atheists were praying, full of sarcasm
and the genius next door was sleeping
dreaming that the antidote was orgasm

Regina Spektor - The Sword and the Pen
What if the sword kills the pen?
What if the god kills the man?
But if he does it with love
then it’s death from above
and death from above is still a death

Oh, an incurable humanist you are.
Oh, an incurable humanist you are.
Oh, an incurable humanist you are.
Oh, an incurable humanist you are.

spektorpedia: A Cooler Version by Regina Spektor
“I’m so sorry for tellin’ stories.
I’m so young and drunk, and young and drunk…
I didn’t know it’d be so boring,
I fall asleep when you’re inside…
So young and drunk, and young and drunk…
I fall asleep when you’re inside…”[snoring]
I Want to Sing by Regina Spektor
“What have I done to deserve you?
Must have done something cause that’s how it works
Must have been kind to the kittens and birds
in a previous life”

Lady by Regina Spektor
“She says I can sing this song so blue
that you will cry, in spite of you
little wet tears on your baby’s shoulder
little wet tears on your baby’s shoulder…”
Paris by Regina Spektor
“I could’ve settled down in Paris
But the man who came for me
Took me by the hand
And said it was time to leave
Margaret atwood, she could not stop him
Virginia woolf, she could not stop him
The truth is I wanted to go
He is all I know, he is all I know…”
