On Repeat

The Pastels


Today's Quote comes from Stephen McRobbie:

Please don't think of us as an "indie band" as it was never meant to be a genre, and anyway we are far too outward looking for that sad tag.



Oh if I can't have you
I don't want nobody else
And if can't have you
I won't take nobody else
I tear myself apart
And cry a million tears
Break the walls of pain
And fall into the hard dead sea
Oh if I can't have you
I don't want nobody else
And if can't have you
I'll be certainly depressed
I tear myself apart
And cry a million tears
Break the walls of pain
And fall into the hard dead sea
Oh if I can't have you
I don't want nobody else
And if can't have you
I won't take nobody else
I tear myself apart
And cry a million tears
Break the walls of pain
And fall into the hard dead sea
A million tears
A million tears
A million tears




Take my hand and take my heart, I shiver when you're near
Deliver me from everything and drive me home my dear

Accelerated pain, white nothings on the wheel again
Shut your mouth, let's move on out of here
Just try and keep this light or someone may get hurt tonight
Don't talk that way don't talk that way don't talk that way

Hold it there a second let me dump this stupid pride
I'm ready for you sweetheart now my mind is open wide

Shut up and make it count, your concentration's paramount
Remember what was meant to be this year
The past is a disaster and the future's coming faster now
What you say we go and get a beer

Simply nothing to be done oh tell me I'm the only one
Simply nothing to be done oh tell me I'm the only one
Simply nothing to be done tell me I'm the only one
Simply nothing to be done tell me I'm the only one

When I was young I used to say
I didn't care for anything
When I was young I used to say
I didn't care for anything




Sometimes I get this feeling
That the sun is shining
And the birds are singing
All because of you
And I'm living my whole life because of you
And everything I tried is because of you, it's true
Cos all I see is you, oh yeah
Sometimes I think about you and the funny things you do
When I'm saving all my time to be with you
And I'm living in this world because of you
Cos everything I tried is because of you, it's true
Cos all I see is you, oh yeah
Sometimes I'd be lost without you
Sometimes I'd be lost without you
Sometimes I'd be lost without you
Sometimes I'd be lost without you
Sometimes I'd be lost without you
Sometimes I'd be lost without you
Sometimes I'd be lost, without you

On Repeat

69 Love Songs by the Magnetic Fields

On repeat



I don't want to get over you
I guess I could take a sleeping pill
And sleep at will
And not have to go through what I go through
I guess I should take Prozac, right
And just smile all night
At somebody new
Somebody not too bright but sweet and kind
Who would try to get you off my mind
I could leave this agony behind
Which is just what I'd do if I wanted to
But I don't want to get over you
'cause I don't want to get over love
I could listen to my therapist
Pretend you don't exist
And not have to dream of what I dream of
I could listen to all my friends
And go out again
And pretend it's enough
Or I could make a career of being blue
I could dress in black and read Camus
Smoke clove cigarettes and drink vermouth
Like I was 17
That would be a scream
But I don't want to get over you
