what i like about music #4: pinkerton

this album is like that scene in almost famous: "I'm flying high over Tupelo, Mississippi...with America's hottest band...and we're all about to die." them yelling truths at each other. dirty little deep down dark secrets that must be revealed in the last moments of your life. he's yelling his secrets at the universe for all to hear, real loud and unafraid because soon he will be dead and not around to see the fallout or feel the embarrassment. things that must be said before the end. these are the things you do not say:

…And I don't wanna be an old man anymore

It's been a year or two since I was out on the floor

Shakin' booty, makin' sweet love all the night

It's time I got back to the Good Life

It's time i got back, it's time i got back

and I don't even know how I got off the track

I wanna go back…Yeah!

They don't make stationery like this where I'm from

So fragile, so refined

So I sniff and I lick your envelope

And fall to little pieces every time

I wonder what clothes you wear to school

I wonder how you decorate your room

I wonder how you touch yourself

And curse myself for being across the sea

Weezer, Across the Sea

I'm a lot like you so please
Hello, I'm here, I'm waiting
I think I'd be good for you
And you'd be good for me
