I am the sun and the earth

Kris is listening to 'How soon is now?' by The Smiths.

Where would you put this song?

In the 'Greatest Band in the World' canon.

It is just a song.

But still.

It is at the point in the evening when Kris wants me to type the words of the song out while it's playing.

Why do I always have to do the typing?

Himself is asleep with his head on the table.

He talked the whole way through Radiohead.... then fell asleep.

I am the song. I am the earth

Of a shyness that is criminally broken

Tum ti tum ti tum

You shut your mouth. How can you say

That I go about things the wrong way

I am human and I want to be loved

Just like everybody else does.

I am the sun. I am the earth

Of a shyness that is criminally broken

At this point, Himself woke up to say that that is it really for him with that song.

I thought it was pretty good...

What would you pick?

I think that something's been lost in translation. But is it not "Son and heir".

also, "vulgar" not "broken"
