rabs, i feel like something is missing from the the greatest love songs...hmmmm....it will come to me. there is however, an amazing postal service break up song. it is a duet, but a tres cool one. i am not talking ricky martin and christina aguilera with pensive stares and mind- numbing lyrics. it is more like a conversation. i am not going to do it justice...it is called "nothing better" and it is phenomenal. i am contemplating putting the lyrics here, but the listening is so much better...hhhmmmmm...okay fine. here it is:
guy: will someone please call a surgeon who can crack my ribs and repair this broken heart. that you're deserting for better company? i can't accept that it's over...and i will block the door like a goalie tending the net in the third quarter of a tied-game rivalry
so just say how to make it right and i swear i'll do my best to comply
tell me am i right to think that there could be nothing better than making you my bride and slowly growing old together.
girl: i feel i must interject here you're getting carried away feeling sorry for yourself with these revisions and gaps in history so let me help you remember. i've made charts and graphs that should finally make it clear. i've prepared a lecture on why i have to leave.
so please back away and let me go
guy: i can't my darling i love you so...oh, oh
tell me am i right to think that there could be nothing better than making you my bride and slowly growing old together
girl: don't you feed me lines about some idealistic future. your heart won't heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures
guy: i know that I have made mistakes and i swear
i'll never wrong you again
girl: you've got a lure i can't deny, but you've had your chance so say goodbye, say goodbye.
i think i like it because of the dynamics of the song. that, and it is postal service.
