Karen Dalton // "Katie Cruel," from In My Own Time
When I first came to town, they called me the roving jewel,
Now they've changed their tune, call me Katie Cruel.
Through the woods I go, and through the boggy mire;
Straight way down the road, 'til I come to my heart's desire...
If I was where I would be, then I'd be where I am not;
Here I am where I must be, where I would be, I cannot.
When I first came to town, they brought me drinks a' plenty,
Now they've changed their tune, and hand me the bottles empty...
If I was where I would be, then I'd be where I am not;
Here I am where I must be, where I would be, I cannot...

Hurray for the Riff Raff // “SAGA,” acoustic single release
Take it, they always want you to take it...
But I, I don't want this to be
The saga of my life,
The saga of my life,
The saga of my...
I, I just wanna be free;
Get over it in time,
Push it out of my mind.
Nobody believed me, nobody believed me;
Oh, nobody believed me, nobody believed me.

Rufus Wainwright // "Old Whore's Diet," from Want (Two)
As I am very rushed and limited in availability for meals with an incredibly hectic field/work schedule lately, I find myself often having the...
(Just make it Thai food rather than Chinese, insanely busy period rather than decadent, and tiny mini-fridge instead of one in a hotel...it's pretty spot on.)

Laura Jane Grace // "The Best Ever Death Metal Band in Denton" (The Mountain Goats cover), from I Only Listen to The Mountain Goats (cover album)
When you punish a person, for dreaming their dream,
Don’t expect them to thank or forgive you…
…they will, in time, both outpace and outlive you…

THICK // "Your Mom," from the self-titled album
Have a baby,
Have a career;
You're always late,
And don't be gay.
Your mother said to me:
Build your life, have a family.
Make more money;
You're not a punk,
You're not an artist;
You're always drunk.

Laura Jane Grace // "Day Old Coffee," from At War with the Silverfish
Day-old coffee, microwaved to boiling;
Pour it on my eyeballs, and boil my dumbshit brains out...
'Cause I don’t ever want to hear or think or speak again;
I don’t ever want to hear or think or speak again.
What’s with all the questions?
To whom do I owe the pleasure?
To whom do I owe the obligation?
And if I lose the thread, put it down and come back again.
