My Favorite Song of These Days


Rufus Wainwright - Cigarettes And Chocolate Milk

Lyric
cigarettes and chocolate milk
these are just a couple of my cravings
everything it seems i like's a little bit stronger
a little bit thicker
a little bit harmful for me

if i should buy jelly beans
have to eat them all in just one sitting
Everything it seems i like's a little bit sweeter
a little bit fatter
a little bit harmful for me

and then there's those other things
which for several reasons we won't mention
everything about them is a little bit stranger
a little bit harder
a little bit deadly

it isn't very smart, tends to make one part
so broken-hearted

sitting here remembering me
always been a shoe made for the city
go ahead, accuse me of just singing about places
with scrappy boys faces
have general run of the town
playing with prodigal songs
takes a lot of sentimental valiums
can't expect the world to be your raggedy andy
while running on empty
you little old doll with a frown

you got to keep in the game
maintaining mystique while facing forward
i suggest a reading of 'a lesson in tight ropes'
or 'surfing your high hopes' or 'adios kansas'

it isn't very smart
tends to make one part so broken-hearted

still there's not a show on my back holes
or a friendly intervention
i'm just a little bit heiress, a little bit irish, a little bit
tower of pisa whenever i see you
so please be kind if i'm a mess


P.S.
1. Thanks Vanessa for introducing this song to me.

3. 原來,在陳奕迅2005年度大碟【U87】中,由林一峰作曲的<不良嗜好>被網友指抄襲cigarettes and chocolate milk , click上這網http://3cmusic.com/home/?p=281,可聽比較。
