Take a songwriter, and answer the questions with their lyrics.


Songwriter
Divine Comedy (Neil Hannon / Joby Talbert / Their favourite poets)

Are you female or male?

I can put on the perfume,
Even wear the dress sometimes
But I will always be the bridegroom
And never the bride


Describe yourself

I'm the darkness in the light
I'm the leftness in the right
I'm the rightness in the wrong
I'm the shortness in the long
I'm the goodness in the bad
I'm the saneness in the mad


How do some people feel about you

Living isn’t easy
No need to make it harder
Stretch yourself until you snap
Ditch your superstitions
Lose your inhibitions
Tell them you’re not coming back


Describe your ex-girlfriend/boyfriend

Do you remember
Sunday lunch on the lawn
Daring escapes at midnight
And costumeless bathes at dawn.
You were only nine years old
And I was barely ten
It's kind of weird to be back here again

and

You don't really love me
And I don't really mind
Cos I don't love anybody
That stuff is just a waste of time
Your place or mine?



Describe your current girlfriend/boyfriend

(Sorry, but...)

I told the stars above
About the one I love
I told the morning sun
Yeah I'm telling everyone
I told my mum and dad
They seemed to understand
And I'll get through to you
If it's the last thing that I do...



Describe how you want to be

I wanna feel real, I wanna free-wheel
I wanna steal the show from under their noses

and

I will not weep for what we leave behind
I must break free from that part of me
That values the art over the humanity
I think it's time for a change

Describe how you live

It's four o'clock and all's not well
In my private circle of hell
I contemplate my navel hair
And slowly slide into despair
This rut has fast become a trench
This smell has turned into the stench
Of rotten dreams and stale ideals
The past is snapping at my heels



Describe how you love

Pale, pubescent beasts
Roam through the streets
And coffee-shops
Their prey gather in herds
Of stiff knee-length skirts
And white ankle-socks
But while they search for a mate
My type hibernate
In bedrooms above
Composing their songs of love

and

Of one thing there can be no doubt
This is not a sin. It's not even original!
And hey, we're all individuals, so let the games begin!


Share a few words of wisdom

Well we all need reassurance
As we play life's game of endurance
Like a nice cup of tea or a cigarette
But don't lean too long on your crutches
Or you'll fall straight into the clutches
Of those who see free expression as a threat
You don't need a law degree to set your mind and spirit free
So tell me what the hell is normal and who the hell is sane?
And why the hell care anyway?
All the dreams that we have had
Are gonna prove that we're all mad
And that's OK!


and

If you want it, you can have it
If you need it, go and get it
Whatever it is you've got to love it

and

If the good Lord intended me to live in L.A., He'd have given me a machine gun.

Woo. I'd forgotten how much I used to like and listen to Divine Comedy.
*wishes she'd bought A Short Album About Love on CD years ago*

:D

There's a new album out now. Rosie's sending it to me over MSN one track at a time, and when I've got the whole thing I'll copy it for you, if you like.

Eureka!

I just wasn't in the right head space to apply for universities and instead avoided this by finding this:
