Your Stuck in my Head Song of the Day

So I originally discovered this song when my only F2M tranny friend at Duke was being an incredible bitch, which apparently she is most of the time though I chose to ignore a lot of it and to give her the benefit of the doubt. But still maybe it was a defence mechanism and her way of protecting herself. Anyway it's You're Gonna Need Someone on Your Side by Morrissey, and its been in my head for the better part of today, especially after I realized I need to write about what I wrote about for TMI Thursday (though just thinking about it Cat Power's Fool would have been an appropriate and worthy song for tonight as well.) But this works perfectly; it's the kick in my pants that I need with the knowledge I already know (but won't necessarily acknowledge). Here are the lyrics, because Morrissey is a wordsmith and a god (and they sum up how I feel a lot of the time)

With the world's fate
Resting on your shoulder
You're gonna need
Someone on your side

You can't do it by yourself
Any longer
You're gonna need
Someone on your side
Someone kindly told me
That you'd wasted
Eight of nine lives

Oh, give yourself a break
Before you break down
You're gonna need someone on your side

And here I am
And here I am
Well, you don't need
To look so pleased !

Day or night,
There is no difference
You're gonna need someone on your side

Day or night,
There is no difference
You're gonna need someone soon

And here I am
And here I am
Well, you don't need
To look so pleased


Yeah I do need someone; we all do. Here's a live performance (though I'm not sure I like it more than this one; I can't make up my mind)

(don't mind that last bit; that's just Morrissey being Morrissey; we're trying to run a hopeful outfit here. ) Ah I feel better now. I'm sorry for being so emotional tonight; I blame the estrogen :)
A domani tutti.
