I can't decide whether you should live or die

I don't like love-songs. Ehm. If you've ever been around me when all of a sudden a schmoopie ballad was played on the radio, you know that's an understatement. I loathe ballads. I just can't stand all the moping about (lost) love. "If you leave me now, you take away the biggest part of me" Pur-lease, fuck that shit, I'm going. Get over it. Blah.

But. On the new album by the Scissor Sistors (Ta-Dah) there is this song that is the sweetest thing I've ever heard. My heart... it's... it's... melting! Damn you, Jake, for being so adorable and lovely. Damn you.


Might Tell You Tonight

When you're quiet, but your eyes
Are saying everything I need to know
I want to burrow like a sparrow
Dodging alley cats and whiskers
Why do we talk in whispers?
Is it painful hearing voices ring
So early in the morning?

I've been waiting for the day
When I can throw away these numbers
That line my dresser drawers and cupboards
Start me over
Life seems so much slower
With your toothbrush by the mirror
Can I make it any clearer?

And I just might say it tonight
I just might say it tonight
I just might tell you tonight
That I love you
And you should stay all my life

They'll tell you that you'll maybe make it
If you just cut your clothes and change your hair
But I won't fuss and moan
'bout what you wear
I feel so much better
When I read your dirty letters
Just wear your sweaters in the winter
'Cause I wouldn't want you to get cold
I hope that we're together when we're old
I would have sold all my possessions
Never took piano lessons
But baby you're a grand
And I will learn to play the good notes
And tune you up the best I can

And I just might say it tonight
I just might say it tonight
I just might tell you tonight
That I love you
And you should stay all my life


Le Sigh.

Hee! You bring me joy, just by mentioning the latest Scissor Sisters album. Because they just rock So Fucking Much. Any band that starts their live performance with the words 'You all look ready to get bent over a barrel and get fucked really hard by the Sisters' had my eternal love.
And I think that I Can't Decide is still my favourite song on the album, but I love every single song on that damn thing.

Yes, all of it is made of yum. I'm still trying to focus on the lyrics, but the catchy tunes are making it hard (heh)

Oh I could throw you in the lake
Or feed you poisoned birthday cake
I won't deny I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
Oh I could bury you alive
But you might crawl out with a knife
And kill me when I'm sleeping
That's why I can't decide
Whether you should live or die
