You need to be optimistic, darling, today
you' ll find someone who' ll never make you sad, by never making you glad
and who' ll only show up when you wanna fuck; or when you wanna go for a
ride in a fancy car; or when you wanna say goodbye to someone. I need to
be optimistic / maybe I'll find me a girl who wont fall into depression
for the mere fact that when I sleep with her I' m still there when she
wakes up / take up a part of the room / consume a part of the air / let
alone staying alone really late at night / smoking cigarettes, drinking
alcohol and listening to crazy stuff like Cat Power, The Sound's ''From
the Lions Mouth'', My Bloody Valentine, the stupendous debut by the
fabulous Dream Syndicate ''The Days of Wine and Roses'' / Lord where are
they now? Lord where have they gone? Or was it all in my mind? We need to
be realistic / it wasnt ever much fun / you didnt have any feelings / lets
not talk about love / yet I' m still fond of you with you cause I'm that
kind of a guy / and you' re not that kind of a girl / no, you re not that
kind of a girl / Lord where am I now? / Where have You left me now /
shine Your light on me now /
I'm
in hell again oh Lord
There's this thing I told my self / dont you worry boy, it's just the
feeling you get when you've had too much to drink / too early in the
afternoon / being so weak / anyone passing by could just grab you by the
arm and drag you along with them / wherever the fuck they're going / but
where the fuck do they go? /
whichever way the wind blows
/ there's this friend of mine who was kind enough to buy me beer / and I
mean a lot! / he would sit there and listen to the story / over and over
and over / of how I was left alone / scenario after scenario after
scenario / then the man said ''Hey man, who the fuck's evere writing your
script anyway?'' / is it mr Charles Baudelaire ? / Hell NO! / is it the
kind and lonely mr Stephen Patrick Morrissey? / a long time ago / is it
the cursed and blessed mr Greg Dulli of the infamous Afghan Whigs / oh
hell, that's close! / but no / it's that girl / but where the fuck has she
gone? /
whichever way the wind blows
/ there's this woman inside this bar who I am staring at / she must be 55
or something / I've got my tequilla shots stashed in front of me / like a
good boy / and I'm just wishing she could just come over and / take me by
the hand / try to understand / the trouble I'm in / take me home and tack
me in / but she'll just walk out the door / and where the fuck will she
go? /
whichever way the wind blows
/ there's this little life I've been living ever since; / there's no joy /
nor peace / nor nothing at all / and my reign is going down hard / and
the rain falls hard as rocks / and when it doesnt / the sun shines /
ruthless / and heartless / and accurate / and I cant sleep / nor eat / nor
do nothing at all / and my heart weighs like fifty fucking tons / and I
cant even finish this / so I'll just have to go / but where the fuck will
I go? /
whichever way the wind blows
Me and my drink are laying low until these awfull things we did are well
forgotten. Dead and gone. Well out of the heads; of your community
Me and my drink are hanging well. We're letting everything go to hell. We
dont keep our eyes fixed on the phone all the time.
Me and my drink are doing fine.
Me and my drink are saying goodnight. We're really feeling very tired.
We're wishing you all a fond fare well.
Me and my drink are going to hell now.
I met
my councillor
in the University, registration, first year. I think I liked the ribbon in
the; hair cause, a few weeks later, she was off to her hometown, I said:
''Is there anybody waiting for you out there ?'' and I think she said no
cause then I said '' Would you like someone to wait for you over here
then ?'' and I hope she said ''Yes''. Cause, then, I waited.
It lasted a few weeks and it was quite platonic, too. It wasnt until
several years later that my councillor would introduce me to the notion of
one night stand;
the tactics of which I couldnt understand much then. I still cant
understand them much now either.
Credentials.
My
councillor
went on to lead a quite chaotic life involving divorced men, married men,
thirteen year old daughters, good sex, bad sex,;
no drugs, some books, not enough alcohol I'm afraid.
Not exactly a German car TV advertisement, if you know what I mean.
I mean not exactly a success story. But she's the only one I've got.
And she's
my councillor.
Advice.
My councillor
says that it was me who fuked it up,
probably. But then
my
councillor
says that you were a half crazy bitch
anyway and that I should be glad you left me alone.
My councillor
says I should never call you on the phone no more; ( and, of course, I did
call you on the phone ).
My councillor
says I'm this big, strong, charming man
and that I should go out and have some fun no matter what.
Proposal. When this is over you can visit me in my room. We could have a
few drinks. You can step in and take her place.
I could use your experience; ( oh the years in France! ), One hundred
thousand one night stands
( one hundred thousand and one as the minutes go by). Enough books, not
quite enough alcohol but enough drugs to last me a life time.
And I could especially use some of your cynisism.
Come here, maybe we could still be friends. You could be
my councillor.

Go get me a drink, cause I cant see any
other way that I could be. Since we were
all alone, all along.
Go ahead and be just who you want to be. Whom ever with, cause I dont
care.
It's been six weeks of heavy bottle-ing. In spring time, when the sun is
shining.
Winter's gonne and the night is always coming too late. For the likes of
me it's too late.
Yes, we were on our own all along.
Still I can see a little light that's shining. Hope is here to make us
fall, again.
Shed no tears, we'll be forgetting then.
That we were
all alone, all along.

Would you crash your car? Would you trash it by running me over?
Where I come from, crimson and clover, this could be a little sign of
love.
Would you crash your car? Do you wish to run me over?
Where I come from this could be a shrine of little love.
I recall the days where girls where crawling outside my window
just to get a little glimpse.
At the curly hair of their little prince.
But now I' m just
an ashtray for your love.
You'll put it out on my back and it'll hurt like I need it to.
Some sour, some sweet hours
I spent in that house of perpetual war.
Took all sides and lost it to all; my souls's crave for a promise.
And I was promised nothing and given nothing at all.
Most sleeples, a few sweet nights I spent in my enemies bed.
Took no side and lost it to all. My souls crave for a promise.
Promise me everything, dont care what you give. I am going down.
Every boy who ever stood amazed at the size of the pain is a brother of
mine.
And every girl who ever stood amazed at the width of the widening of her
arms is my little sister;
gonna tell you little mister take your ugly jaws away; or come on and
face mine.
Little misters wife too.
Cause life is not as cruel sometimes.
So if you feel you need your self a friend or a parnner, step inside
this bar. I'l let you shed a tear and tell me your old stories.
Because I feel I need my self a friend and a partner, step inside this
bar and let me shed a tear.
I'll tell you
my ghost stories.
It's spring time and the weather is hot. The clouds stopped gathering.
They parted as well and they're going to hell.
Where we are coming from
everything was wrong.
Hey bar tender, I need another scotch. And please dont give me no
thoughts with it.
Dont ask me to go home, cause I'm never going home, no more.
Hey Sister, I swear I see it, summers riding fast towards me . and it's
holding a spear.
But I feel no fear, no more.
It's still spring time and the weather's still hot. The clouds stopped
gathering.
They parted as well and they're going to hell.
Where we are coming from
everything was so wrong.
Now that the agony seems to be finally over ; and I'm pretending that
I've got myself someplace I need
to be fast.
Let's not wait for it to kick it's self start over again. Let's just
not.
Yet I have to say I'm not feeling sad to have seen: love's ugly jaws /
And needs poluted claws /
riding hard.
Inside my heart.
