I guess that it’s typical

To cling to memories you’ll never get back again

Leonard Cohen - I Can’t Forget

I loved you all my life

And that’s how I want to end it

The summer’s almost gone

The winter’s tuning up

Leonard Cohen - The Stranger Song

Please understand I never had a secret charm

To get me to the heart of this, or any other matter

I told you when I came I was a stranger

The Smiths - Still Ill

For there are brighter sides to life

And I should know because I’ve seen them

But not very often

The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl, “Fairytale of New York”

Oh, this is your favorite Christmas song? Congratulations, you’re a real saddo. Consider: Kirsty MacColl was killed in a ‘controversial’ boating accident on vacation in Mexico; while swimming, she pushed one of her sons out of the way of an oncoming powerboat, which then struck and killed her. That’s still not as sad as this song. Once, during like, June or some other non-December month, I was in Lucy’s, that bar across the street from Tompkins Square Park, and someone played this song on the jukebox. Half the bar left.

Chet Baker - I Get Along Without You Very Well

I get along without you very well

Of course I do

Except, perhaps in spring

But I should never think of spring

For that would surely break my heart in two
