Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan - ‘Saturday’s Gone’
♪♫ It’s just waiting for you ♪♫
Academia - Sia
I’m a binary code that you cracked long ago
But to you I’m just a novel that you wish you’d never wrote
I’m greater than X and lesser than Y
So why is it that I still can’t catch your eye?
You’re a cryptic crossword, a song I’ve never heard
While I sit here drawing circles I’m afraid of being hurtOh academia, you can’t pick me up
Soothe me with your words when I need your loveFuck reading, get music.
The Pogues — ‘Fairytale Of New York’
The boys of the NYPD choir
Still singing ‘Galway Bay’
And the bells are ringing out
For Christmas DayI will always reblog this as it’s my favorite Christmas song.
