musical medley on a moody day

let me take your hand
i'm shaking like milk
turning
turning blue
People watch me as they move past
A guy wearing plastic antlers
Presses his bum against the glass
My will and self-restraint
Have come to fail now, fail now
See, I'm doing what I can, but I can't so you know
That's a bit too hard to explain
I don't think I told you, I feel terrible
I've been sitting in this chair since Sunday
In the same clothes with unwashed hair
There was four Italian sausages cooking
On the outdoor grill
And they were sizzlin'
I don’t know what’s right and what’s real anymore
I don’t know how I’m meant to feel anymore
When do you think it will all become clear?
Well it ain't that tough
Just more of the usual stuff
One heartache is more than enough
I really should have known
By the time you drove me home
By the vagueness in your eyes
Like an idea
Like an Atom bomb
Sly as a fox and crazy as a loon
Payday comes and he's howlin' at the moon
Oh, experience is cheap
if that's the company you keep
and a chance is all that I need
and I've had it
It ain't that in their hearts they're bad
They'd stick by you if they could
But that's just bullshit
People just ain't no good
Help Me Sing It, Ma Ma Se,
Ma Ma Sa, Ma Ma Coo Sa
Ma Ma Se, Ma Ma Sa,
Ma Ma Coo Sa

Don't let mistakes be so monumental, and
Don't let your love be so confidential, and
Don't let your mind be so darn judgmental
And please let your heart be more influential

Hmmm, is intervention needed? Seems a bit pessimistic and down, or am I just projecting my own day/week/month onto your post?

Just snippets from songs I like, as played on grooveshark.

It reads like a Leonard Cohen poem.
