![]() Seventh Tree (2008) [ larger cover art ] |
It's a blue, bright blue Saturday, hey hey
And the pain has started to slip away, hey hey
I'm in a backless dress on a pastel ward that's shining
I think that I want you still, but it may be pills at work
Do you really wanna know how I was dancing on the floor?
I was trying to phone you when I'm crawling out the door
I'm amazed at you, the things you say that you don't do
Why don't you ring?
I was feeling lonely, feeling blue
Feeling like I needed you
And I've woken up surrounded by me
A&E
It's a blue, bright blue Saturday, hey hey
And the pain has started to slip away, hey hey
I'm in a backless dress on a pastel ward: "The Shining"
I think that I want you still, but it may be pills at work
How did I get to accident and emergency?
All I wanted was you to take me out
I was feeling lonely, feeling blue
Feeling like I needed you
And I hoped you'd call and hoped you'd see me
A&E

I have a friend who used to regularly end up in the emergency room because she'd try to kill herself by overdosing on pills and alcohol or cutting her wrists (she finally learned that to effectively open a vein, one must slice along the vein, and not across it.) It was all because of the various medications she'd been prescribed (she was misdiagnosed as psychotic from the very beginning, and things just went downhill from there.) She's off drugs, doesn't drink anymore, and doesn't have any problem feeling emotions without going overboard. This song reminds me of her uglier times, though. Nice tune, but dark, dark lyrics. And that was probably more information than anyone really wanted to read. ![]() For some reasons these little stories from peoples lives are frequently more interesting then the song comments themselves. I, for one, appreciate you sharing it. | |||||

| Cynaera (South of Neanderthal) | Posted: Aug 17, 2010 - 19:45 I love her vocal range - she can hit the high notes clearly, without sliding up to them, and her lower registers are smooth, but she can make them husky/whispery when she wants. Day-am - I'm liking her music more and more.... ![]() | |||||

Even her "dance" stuff Popular music recording artists are usually not just judged in "music terms". I liked Goldfrapp's music before I had seen any images of Alison Goldfrapp, but it cannot be denied that her physical attractiveness is a part of their "act". Finding her attractive does not make one a "pig". Excellent song, by the way. | |||||
