this is a blog about a scientist with a massive
rage problem and a master assassin with a smart
mouth, in love.

Patrick Wolf - Overture
It’s wonderful what a smile can hide
If the teeth shine right and it’s nice and wide
It’s so magical what you can keep inside
And if you bury it deep no one can find a thing, no.
The Hold Steady | We Can Get Together
heaven is whenever we can get together
lock your bedroom door and listen to your records
David Ford | I’m Alright Now
the tide came in and nearly buried us here
but we saw things like they wouldn’t believe
you hear a lot of stories about love and romance
but i swear nothing quite like you and me
and every scar sits like a marker
every line on the face is a small souvenir
of all the places be they good or be they bad
that we stopped into on the journey to here
Grizzly Bear | Alligator (Choir Version)
it’s no use, give it up, this is life and this is love
you are my alligator
Leave me your songs that put you in mind of Clint and Bruce and I’ll put them in the queue. (link to audiopost not required but much appreciated)
Suggestions?
Editors | When Anger Shows
It creeps all over you like a dull ache
Think of all the things your hands could make
It pulls you to the ground like soaking wet gloves
The change in your face when anger shows
Fleet Foxes | Helplessness Blues (x)
i don’t need to be kind to the armies of night that would do such injustice to you, or bow down and be grateful and say “sure, take all that you see,” to the men who move only in dimly-lit hallways and determine my future for me
The National | Blank Slate (x)
but i keep it upstairs for the grand finale, i keep it upstairs, i’m gonna be a blank slate, i’m gonna wear a white cape, but i keep it upstairs
Editors | Munich (x)
with one hand you calm me, with one hand i’m steel / people are fragile things, you should know by now / be careful what you put them through
Angus & Julia Stone | Lonely Hands (x)
i bit my tongue in the awkward conversation / i don’t know why, i don’t know why / i’ve met you once and i’ve fallen for your notions
Ani DiFranco | Falling Is Like This (x)
you give me that look that’s like laughing with liquid in your mouth / like you’re torn between choking and spitting it all out
Interpol | Not Even Jail (x)
i pretend like no one else to try and control myself / i’m subtle like a lion’s cage, such a cautious display
Bowerbirds | Crooked Lust (x)
i hide myself in a secret place, here i know my heart / i know it’s careless, but darling you seem like you’re fearless / and you could be my perfect fix
Coldplay | Low (x)
you mean more, mean more to me than any colour i can see / all you ever wanted was love but you never looked hard enough
AFI | On The Arrow (x)
a freshly drained heart that beats, disguise themselves through him / he’ll say that it’s nothing new and swear this is true / for you, i’ll swallow the ocean
Coldplay | Green Eyes
green eyes, you’re the one that i wanted to find
and anyone who tried to deny you must be out of their mind
because i came here with a load and it feels so much lighter
since i met you
Fleet Foxes | Helplessness Blues
i don’t need to be kind to the armies of night that would do such injustice to you
or bow down and be grateful and say “sure, take all that you see,”
to the men who move only in dimly-lit hallways and determine my future for me
and i don’t, i don’t know who to believe
i’ll get back to you someday soon you will see
Frightened Rabbit | The Loneliness and the Scream
I have fallen in the forest, did you hear me (in the loneliness)?
And the scream to prove to everyone that I exist (in the loneliness)?
And the scream to bring the blood to the front of my face again?
Am I here? Of course I am, yes. All I need is your hand to drag me out again.
