■ Je m'appelle Elisabeth










































That's when Dad said to me, 
"Everything's all right. It's over, Betty."
And I said,
"Call me Elisabeth."

■ The Royal Tenenbaums





Goodbye Ruby Tuesday, who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you

(Ruby Tuesday / The Rolling Stones)




■ The Royal Tenenbaums




I've been out walking
I don't do too much talking these days
These days
These days I seem to think a lot about the things that I forgot to do
And all the times I had the chance to

(These days / Nico)


■ Rabbit Habits / Man Man


"Freak, freak, get away from me!"



You're an elegant, little pelican 
and all your sorrows are stacked amongst your nest of friends
and over time defined by how you carry on
and all of the tore songs you keep inside
and all of the songs that hang in the night
even after you're gone

■ Mary's Market / God Help The Girl




Mary's Market by God Help The Girl

I want a windless city in june
I want a walk down to the harbour
I want to play guitar like you
I want a saint to be my cellmate


I want the last dream to come true
A train in everyone’s back garden
A tunnel to the heart of you
A summer Sunday chiming of bodies brown

And the sleepy way you said my name
As you turn and read my fortune
And you pick up verses of ancient text 
That were dripping with your legend


And you turned to me and said
You know you’re blowing all your chances
And I asked if there was time
You said that nothing was decided

You played me music I hadn’t heard 
From a long lost eighties box set
And you cooked me dinner I never ate
And we washed up all our dishes

The sun was blinding the sky was dark
And the bells they kept on ringing
The rats were happy the mice were full
And there was something wrong with the plumbing

You showed me yesterday’s dress
The 
one you nicked from Mary’s Market
You tried to look like her
Cause you thought that I would like it

I like you better I like you loads
I like you unaffected
Take your eighties’ records your books by Joyce
And you can pack ‘em up for the summer

The wind was fooling again
And the sun thought about setting
You made the shadow shapes on the wall
You thought I wasn’t watching

The wind was messing again
And the sun thought about leaving
You made the dirty shapes on the wall
You thought I wasn’t watching

It was liberating, your puppet dance 
It was our one true moment lasting
You took the slipper you took the pear
You made a still life out of nothing

It was liberating, your puppet dance 
It was our one true moment lasting
You took the slipper you took the pear
You made a still life out of nothing, nothing

I want a windless city in june
I want a walk down to the shoreline
I want infinity in a girl
I want a song that kills me

"Existence.
 Well, what does it matter.
 I exist on the best terms I can.
 The past is now part of my future.
 The present is well out of hand...."

"Poor Snoopy... I see he's lost another friend...
 It's too bad... He's so sensitive..."

"Uh, huh... 
  But I notice he wasn't too sensitive to eat the carrot!"

■ Oh Mandy / The Spinto Band (Favorite Lyric)

I've got a gnome in the backyard
I put him right on the X mark
The spot to show me where the money is
Hey won't you show me where the money is
I got it all on the back of my hand
I wrote your answer so I won't forget
Show me right where your hearts is
Don't gotta tell me where your hearts is

Oh Mandy, Oh Mandy
Oh Mandy, Oh Mandy
So Dreamy, Oh Mandy's
A Killing. Oh Mandy

Sure I had trouble from the onset:
I tried to chase things I couldn't get
Show me a rerun on the Dubble-"U",
Show me a rerun on the WB
So what's it like to be in it?
And move away to the Mid?
I got a message to your auntie,
I got a message to your auntie

Oh Mandy, Oh Mandy
Oh Mandy, Oh Mandy
So Dreamy, Oh Mandy's
A Killing. Oh Mandy
Oh Mandy, Oh Mandy
Can read me and has me
Oh Mandy, Oh Mandy’'s
Completely out of reach

And now I know I’m at the end of my wits,
Don't gotta tell me where this is going
'Cause I know nothing ever falls apart
Yeah, I know nothing ever falls apart
Remind me once more where this is going
Before I fling it out into the ocean
It’s kinda level but it's wavy,
It's looking more blue than it is green
It’s looking quiet nice to jump in,
So I can finally hear you scream:

"You've got a gnome in the backyard,
You put him right on the X mark,
You’re eating brains out the back of my head,
Oh yeah, that's where the money is"

Oh Mandy, Oh Mandy
Oh Mandy, Oh Mandy
So Dreamy, Oh Mandy's
A Killing. Oh Mandy
Oh Mandy, Oh Mandy
Can read me and has me
Oh Mandy, Oh Mandy's
Completely out of reach

■ ALL THIS AND SNOOPY, TOO / Charles M. Schulz (Favorite Quote)



"LOOK, CHARLIE BROWN.. YOU HAVE FEARS AND YOU HAVE FRUSTRATION... AM I RIGHT?"

"OF COURSE, I'M RIGHT! SO WHAT YOU NEED IS A BLANKET LIKE THIS TO SOAK UP THOSE FEARS AND FRUSTRATIONS!"

"I DON'T KNOW..."

"I THINK MOST OF LIFE'S PROBLEMS ARE TOO COMPLICATED TO BE SOLVED WITH A SPIRITUAL BLOTTER!"
