Leonard Cohen | Don’t Go Home With Your Hard-On (live in Bryn Mawr, PA, 1975)

______

I’m obsessed with this song, I don’t know what it is. I even love the ridiculous Specter version.  I’ve run out of cigarettes. Run out of filters too. Also, I think I’m going a little mad again. Spring says, “Just wait for it. I’m gonna get you.” And then she does, every time. So it’s this song on endless repeat, dancing with my wine glass, tobacco in my mouth, and writing letters to ghosts. Oh, just shut up.

Or a mixtape in three parts. This is to say: In the end, it’s all the fucking same fucking story.

leerlauf / mindeater III: lost motion

(This is with thanks to dyingfiction, and a nod of nostalgia—if this weren’t too big a word—to isolateflecks.)

Tom Waits | Hoist that Rag

We stick our fingers in the ground
Heave and turn the world around
Smoke is blacking out the sun
At night I pray and clean my gun
The cracked bell rings as the ghost bird sings
The gods go beggin here
So just open fire as you hit the shore
All is fair in love and war
