this girl drives a tank

flushed from the bathroom of your life

As you might know I love lyrics and love country music lyrics even more. Whilst trudging home through the slush and the sleet one evening, I heard on my iPod what was quite possibly the best Johnny Cash lyrics I have ever heard in a lovely little ditty called "Flushed from the Bathroom of Your Heart":



" From the backdoor of your life you swept me out dear
In the bread line of your dreams I lost my place
At the table of your love I got the brush off
At the Indianapolis of your heart I lost the race


I’ve been washed down the sink of your conscience
In the theater of your love I lost my part
And now you say you’ve got me out of your conscience
I’ve been flushed from the bathroom of your heart


In the garbage disposal of you dreams I’ve been ground up dear
On the river of your plans I’m up the creek
Up the elevator of your future I’ve been shafted
On the calendar of your events I’m last week


I’ve been washed down the sink of your conscience
In the theater of your love I lost my part
And now you say you’ve got me out of your conscience
I’ve been flushed from the bathroom of your heart
"

While on the subject of music, at lunch today I decided to hit the Mall. I was only intending to pop in to HMV (a rather large music retailer) to pick up the new Arcade Fire album, but somehow walked out with 5 CD's and about $80 lighter. I bought: The new Arcade Fire albumin: Neon Bible:
Interpol: Antics
Interpol: Turn On The Bright Lights
Goldfrapp: We Are Glitter
The Avalanches: Since I Left You
