Watch Me Entertain Myself!

Sacha Guitry once said, "You can pretend to be serious, but you can't pretend to be witty." Oh yes, I'm the great pretender.

Now My Heart Is Full

by Morrissey

There’s gonna be some trouble,
a whole house will need re-building.
And everyone I love in the house
will recline on an analyst’s couch quite soon.
Your Father cracks a joke,
and in the usual way
empties the room.

Tell all of my friends
(I don’t have too many—
just some rain-coated lovers’ puny brothers).

I’m tired again, I’ve tried again, and
now my heart is full.
Now my heart is full.
And I just can’t explain,
so I won’t even try to.

Underact, express depression—
ah, but Bunnie, I loved you.
I was tired again,
I’ve tried again, and
now my heart is full.
Now my heart is full.
And I just can’t explain,
so I won’t even try to.

Could you pass by?
Will you pass by?
Could you pass by?
Oh...
now my heart is full.
Now my heart is full.
And I just can’t explain
so... slow....


LSS-ing on this since last night, when I stumbled upon it again after years of not listening to it. I got goosebumps hearing it again; the lyrics just cut me to the bone.

But I just can’t explain, so I won’t even try to.
