This song is a perfect embodiment of what happened with me and a certain person this year (they'll know who they are if they read the lyrics), so I decided it would be fun to post it. Skeleton Song by Kate Nash. The cool thing is that it has a chronological sequence of what happened, and the music peaks and mellows out exactly like the crazy stress of my emotions. Listen to it; it's a fun song!
Skeleton, you are my friend
But you are made of bone
And you have got no flesh and blood running through you
To help protect the bone
Skeleton, we have been friends for years
And you have seen me through some trials and tribulations
And some tears
But everybody thinks I'm weird
And I should've known
That it wouldn't be long until you
You've got me standing in an awkward position
With unwanted attention and a need for explanation
And it's not that I'm letting go of you
But I dunno what to do
Skeleton, we are so close
But you have got no body
So why do you insist on wearing clothes?
Skeleton, when we were young, it was easy
Even though the other kids, they would tease me
I was only seven, I had you
But now I'm twenty-two
And now it's different
When I take you out, and you
You've got me standing in an awkward position
With unwanted attention
And a need for explanation
And it's not that I'm letting go of you
But I dunno what to do
And sometimes, at night
I dream of the most terrible things.
I take a hammer and I creep out of bed
And I raise it high
And I smash your head
Fibular and tibular
And ribs and cages too
In fact, while I'm here
I will smash the whole of you
SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH
But, skeleton, you are my friend
And I could never bring your life to an end.
Yes, skeleton, you are
You are my friend
And I will be there for you until the end.
And even though
When I take you out, you've got me
You've got me standing in an awkward position
With unwanted attention and a need for explanation
I could, I could never let you go
And that is all I know.
