So friday night I went to see Iron and Wine/Calexico and it was brilliant. I adore Calexico and they were just outstanding, and then together the two bands were just so sad. I had to leave after the All Tomorrows Parties cover.
Thursday night was my work Christmas Party – and it was fun, lots of food, everyone was nice and it was good. Though Friday everyone was late to work because of the ice on the roads.
I am sad as I did not get a Christmas tree or, put up lights …I really wanted to this year, but, with work and work, I am just running so far behind everything. Plus, I did not even get to bake anything, maybe for New Year I will make a New Year cake with rum or something.
History of Lovers
Iron and Wine/Calexico
Louise only got from me innocent poetry
Although she played to not listen
But still I can hear myself speak as if no one else
Ever could offer the same
Some say she knowingly tastes like a recipe
All those so foolish and willing
I said, “Babe, I can picture you bend as if wanting to
Bow as the curtain goes down”
Cuddle some men, they’ll remember you bitterly
Fuck ’em, they’ll come back for more
I asked my Louise, would she leave and so, cripple me
Then came a knock at the door
I came for my woman, he came with a razor blade
Bound like us all for the ocean
I hope that she’s happy, I’m blamed for the death
Of a man who would take her from me
Some say they saw in me innocent poetry
Some say they’ll never be certain
But still it’s been written, a history of lovers
In giving, and taking, and ink
Cuddle some men, they’ll remember you fittingly
Cut ’em, they’ll come back for more
I asked my Louise, would she leave and so, cripple me
Then came the knock at the door
Louise came to rescue me, missing the irony
Blood made her heart change its beating
I hope that she’s happy, I’m blamed for the death
Of a man she found better than me
