Loneliness is such a sad affair…

3 kommentarer

Karen Carpenter kunne have fejret sin 60-års fødselsdag i dag, havde det ikke været for personlige problemer og hvor de førte hende hen. Hvilken bedre måde at markere dagen på, end med en gennemkørsel af Sonic Youth’s hyldest til The Carpenters og deres egen frygtindgydende version af Delaney & Bonney’s ‘Superstar’…

3 tanker om “Loneliness is such a sad affair…”

  2. TUNIC

    Dreaming, dreaming of a girl like me
    Hey what are you waiting for – feeding, feeding me
    I feel like I’m disappearing – getting smaller every day
    But I look in the mirror – I’m bigger in every way

    She said:
    You aren’t never going anywhere
    You aren’t never going anywhere
    I ain’t never going anywhere
    I ain’t never going anywhere

    I’m in heaven now – I can see you Richard
    Goodbye Hollywood, goodbye downey – hello Janis
    Hello Dennis, Elvis – and all my brand new friends
    I’m so glad you’re all here with me, until the very end

    Dreaming, dreaming of how it’s supposed to be
    But now this tunic’s spinning – around my arms and knees
    I feel like I’m disappearing – getting smaller every day
    But when I open my mouth to sing – I’m bigger in every way

    She said:
    You aren’t never going anywhere
    You aren’t never going anywhere
    I ain’t never going anywhere
    I ain’t never going anywhere

    Hey mom! look I’m up here – I finally made it
    I’m playing the drums again too
    Don’t be sad – the band doesn’t sound half bad
    And I remember mom, what you said
    You said honey – you look so under-fed

    Another green salad, another ice tea
    There’s a tunic in the closet waiting just for me
    I feel like I’m disappearing – getting smaller every day
    But I look in your eyes – and I’m bigger in every way

    She said:
    You aren’t never going anywhere
    You aren’t never going anywhere
    I ain’t never going anywhere
    I ain’t never going anywhere

    Goodbye Richard – gotta go now
    I’m finally on my own – but Dan’s got a gig
    Keep the love lights glowing – little girl’s got the blues
    I can still hear momma say: “honey don’t let it go to your head”

  3. Måtte lige hen og finde goo frem fra de støvede vinylhylder. Får kuldegysninger hver gang jeg lytter til tunic (song for karen), sonic youths ultimative karen carpenter-sang …
