Your Stuck in my Head Song(s) of the Day

There isn't much tying this songs together besides the fact they've been battling for control in my head all day, and they're both really tremendous and catchy. I woke up this morning with Two Way Mon0logue by Sondre Lerche and then as I was formulating my monthly letter to Hubby I remembered a song I think I heard this morning, Ed Harcourt's Apple of My Eye and from that point on till now they've both stayed. And since I'm terrible at making decisions we'll have a two-some.
So here are Your Stuck in My Head Songs of the Day:

Ed Harcourt's Apple of My Eye

When you're on your own
You walk in the rain
You walk around the house
Then walk around it again

You pretend you're happy
That you've got it all
But don't be upset If you fall on your knees
And beg like a dog

I've reached a low, don't you know
You're the apple of my eye
I'm running low, with this show
No matter how I try
I'm sick of this angst, don't need thanks
You're the apple of my eye

I drink a lot of wine
When I am alone
I lose my track of time
My ideas turn to stone
I pretend I'm sad
That I'm still so small
But I'm not upset If
I fall on my knees
And beg like a dog

I've reached a low, don't you know
You're the apple of my eye
I'm running low, with this show
No matter how I try
I'm sick of this angst, don't need thanks
You're the apple of my eye

I've reached a low, don't you know
You're the apple of my eye
I'm running low, with this show
No matter how I try
I'm sick of this angst, don't need thanks
You're the apple of my eye

and
Two Way Monologue by Sondre Lerche

Mum
All the other options that you had in mind starve me
`Cause I'm optionless and turkey-free and blind

Pa
Won't you listen and I'll let you in on this
Blind me!
Won't you listen I'll reduce advice to dust
Oh no!
I shouldn't have to spell my name

Ma!
If it's worth the made up smiles, the quiet fights
Oh mother!
It is hard not to look in the mirror's eye
I have come to this while you have come along
So it's alright if you change your mind the other way around again
I shouldn't have to spell my name

So start the two way monologues that speak your mind
We're talking two way monologues with words that rhyme

We
can't reclaim the shirts we threw away last twirl
Uncurl the note-in-pocket, personal brochures that dust
Machine-washed, that's how paper rusts

Days you spend wanting some of Michael Landon's grace
strike back, now they shape your life as stony as his face
Oh no! I shouldn't have to spell his name

So start the two way monologues that speak your mind
We're talking two way monologues with words that rhyme
Start the two way monologues that speak your mind
We're talking two way monologues

We were chasing rabbits on the hill
And that prairie-life was great, but never real
`Cause we never saw no rabbits out there, ever, no, not once
All we did was put a fire up and watch it burn for months
And I miss the sound of stairs and walls and maladjusted doors
and too little space for holding all the soldiers and the war

So start the two way monologues that speak your mind
Start the two way monologues that speak your mind
We're talking two way monologues
