Music!

I posted these songs to lunatunes earlier today, but they lock their posts, so I am also sharing it here. The theme was 'Your Top Five Songs At The Moment'.

1. Head Automatica - Please Please Please (Young Hollywood)
You lick the hand that feeds you,
And kiss the blade that cuts.
I wanna fuck you in your god's hands
When your praying bites the dust.

Utterly trashy, cheesy club music, and yet I Cannot Stop Listening to this song. Seriously. Send help.

2. Lamb - Bonfire
Burn like a good bonfire
In whatever you do.
Just burn like a good bonfire,
And I know you'll come through.

Slower, but very intense, trip-hop song.

3. Rufus Wainwright - Everybody Knows (Cover)
Everybody knows that you love me baby,
Everybody knows that you really do,
Everybody knows that you've been faithful
Give or take a night or two.

This is such a bitter, cynical song; I have no idea why I find it so fun. I much prefer this cover to the original.

4. Eliza Carthy - Rolling Sea
Oh, the wars will soon be over,
And the sailors all come home.
Every lass will get a lad,
She won't have to sleep alone.

From the Rouge's Gallery CD, a collection of traditional sea shanties and pirate songs, performed by modern musicians. This is my favorite song off of it; it's excellent to sing along to.

5. Iron & Wine - Gray Stables
Brave lady,
I could see you through the mosses,
Laid, shameless in the sun.
My lady
With her porcelain and her weightless face,
Pleasing everyone.

A gorgeous, slow folk song. All of Iron & Wine's songs are lovely, and often sad, but this is my current favorite.

Everybody Knows is such an awesome song. I didn't know Rufus had done it!
