With all the luck you’ve had
Why are your songs so sad
You sing from a book you were reading in bed
And took to heart
All of your lives unled
Reading in bed

Saw Emily Haines tonight at The Paradise and it was totally amazing. Aside from the fact that she sounds like Blossom Dearie reincarnate as a very cool Canadian indie rocker, and also aside that she’s hilarious and clever inbetween songs — she is kind of insanely gorgeous, which I am suddenly now vividly aware of. Man I’m glad I didn’t go with anyone or they would have seen me daydreaming like a teenager…  They even played my favorite Pink Floyd song on the PA at the end to kick us out – of course it was “See Emily Play”   But anyway…  yes.

Barry: I wanna date a musician.
Rob Gordon: I wanna live with a musician. She’d write songs at home and ask me what I thought of them, and maybe even include one of our little private jokes in the liner notes.
Barry: Maybe a little picture of me in the liner notes.
Dick: Just in the background somewhere.
