Metric - Gold Gun Girls

All the gold
And the guns
In the world
Couldn't get you off

All the gold
And the guns
And the girls
Couldn't get you off

All the boys
All the choices
In the world

I remember when we were gambling to win
Everybody else said better luck next time
I don't wanna bend like the bad girls bend
I just wanna be your friend
Is it ever gonna be enough

Is it ever gonna be enough?

Andrew Bird - Measuring Cups

Get out your measuring cups and we'll play a new game
Come to the front of the class and we'll measure your brain
We'll give you a complex and we'll give it a name

Get out your measuring cups and we'll play a new game
Can't have the cream when the crop and the cream are the same
Liquid or gas no more than the glass will contain

I think they're gonna make you start over
You don't want to start over
Put your backpack on your shoulder
Be the good little soldier
Take your places now
'Cause we're all predisposed


Oh Oxford.

Jay Brannan - Half-Boyfriend

You’re the pill I never wanted to take—
an anti-misanthrope
mine was the heart I never thought you would break
my one hope was that I’d survive you

I’ve shown up for you
in ways that boy never would
but I know you’ll go back to him and
maybe you should, but
I hope you don’t go backwards
cuz I’m going on ahead and
one day you’ll wish that you had
stuck with me instead.


You know every once in a while when you come across a song that you swear you'd written in your head way before you even heard said song? This is one of those. By the time I realized its significance, though, this song was entirely irrelevant to me.
