Yesterday I went to the movies. I saw this trailer for (500) Days of Summer where the boy is listening to the Smiths “There’s a Light That Never Goes Out” on his ipod (or cd player, can’t remember exactly!) inside an elevator. There’s a girl too there, and she talks to him: “I love The Smiths”. And eventually they fall in love and you know… eventually break up. I don’t know if the movie will be any good, maybe it’s just another chick flick… but isn’t it a lovely way to start a movie? moreover, isn’t it a lovely way to meet a girl? I wonder why it took so long to Hollywood studios to figure this out!
Longing for something as fantastic to happen, and probably because of the influence of that gray donkey skin sky smashing the summer through our huge window, suddenly I felt arrested by melancholy. No wonder I’m stuck listening to this song a thousand times now. I just love (<3) this song. I just ask will somebody, one day, give Pat Fish the credit he deserves?
Here I am, I’m just lying on the floor with you
We had to get drunk, it was the only thing we could do
Well, it’s funny ‘coz I thought that it could have turned out quite romantic
But it isn’t like that, which is fine, ‘coz it means I can stand it
My best friend’s girlfriend… I’ve got a girlfriend
And you’re somebody’s girlfriend too
You know it only ever makes me down
Oh look, it’s easy,
You come round my house, give me information, then you go home
Well, it sure beats talking all that foolish rubbish on the telephone
But I don’t know about all the implications of all this,
I just feel so-so,
But it’s a measure of a feeling that I can’t identify
that I can let you go
My best friend’s girlfriend… I’ve got a girlfriend
And you’re somebody’s girlfriend too
You know it only ever makes me down
Something’s got a hold on my heart and it’s making me down
You left me singing
“Don’t sleep in the subway darling,
Don’t standing in the pouring rain, Maureen.”
