God I love Ani. This one is one of my favorites. This whole album is one of my favorites. One of my many, many favorites. Because lets face it, I love pretty much everything the woman has ever done. :P
I'm just a sucker for a good song. All sorts of them. All the days.
two-thirty in the morning
and my gas tank will be empty soon
neon sign on the horizon
rubbing elbows with the moon
a safe haven of sleepless
where the deep fryer's always on
radio is counting down
the top 20 country songs
and out on the porch the fly strip is
waving like a flag in the wind
y'know, i don't look forward
to seeing you again soon
you'll look like a photograph of yourself
taken from far far away
and i won't know what to do
and i won't know what to say
except fuck you...
She sounds so much like Alanis Morrisette or Tori Amos. All i can think when i listen to this, oddly enough, is : Why aren't we planning to try and see Florence and the Machine?

I know what you said, about the birthday card thing. I immediately woke up like..."What if i just sent a card with just money and the words 'happy birthday?'. I know that's crazy--my need to toss money at my problems is unreal. It would be productive if I actually HAD money to speak of. Why don't you like squidbillies? Why won't anyone revel in the shows of yesterday with me? Okay, next post...I'm suppposed to call you, so I'm trying to make this quick. Eek!
