The songs I can't stop listening to 11/23/12

I hate the holidays.

1. The Byrds - "Mr. Tambourine Man" (Bob Dylan cover)
2. The Mountain Goats - "For Charles Bronson"
3. Fucked Up - "Queen Of Hearts"
4. Tori Amos - "Cruel" (live, from To Venus And Back)
5. The XX - "Infinity"
6. Old 97's - "Brown Haired Daughter"
7. Billy Preston - "Both Ways"

Though I know that evenin's empire has returned into sand
Vanished from my hand,
Left me blindly here to stand still but not sleeping.
My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet,
I have no one to meet,
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming.

Hey! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there's no place I'm going to...

Set your sights on good fortune
Concentrate
Pull back the hammer
Try to hold the gun straight

"Hello, my name is David, your name is Veronica, let's be
together, let's fall in love. Hello my name is David, your name is 
Veronica -- let's be together until the stars go out."
All we need is for something to give, the dam bursts open, we
suddenly live.
"The boot off my throat, life is returning, the boot off my throat,
let's all emote."

so don't give me respect don't give me a piece of your preciousness
flaunt all she's got in your old neighbourhood
I'm sure she'll make a few friends
even the rain bows down let us pray as you cock-cock-cock your mane
no cigarettes only peeled HAVANA'S for you I can be cruel
I don't know why
why can't my ba.ll.oo.n stay up in a perfectly windy sky
I can be cruel I don't know why
dance with the sufi's celebrate your top ten in the charts of pain
lover brother bogenvilla my vine twists around your need
even the rain is sharp like today as you sh-sh-shock me sane
no cigarettes only peeled HAVANA's for you I can be cruel

I can't give it up
To someone else's touch
Because I care too much

Could you tell
I was left lost and lonely
Things ain't worked out my way

Wish the best for you
Wish the best for me
Wished for infinity
If that ain't me

And I tried
Tried to leave it all alone
...
But I can't
So I won't

And finally:

I need a love that goes both ways.
