Earworm for a Morning Walk

[snurri]

Cos' it's a bittersweet symphony this life...
Trying to make ends meet, you're a slave to the money then you die.
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down...
You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet, yeah.
No change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change,
but I'm here in my mold, I am here in my mold.
But I'm a million different people from one day to the next.
I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Well, I never pray,
But tonight I'm on my knees, yeah.
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah.
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now.
But the airwaves are clean and there's nobody singing to me now.

No change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change,
but I'm here in my mold, I am here in my mold.
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

(Well have you ever been down?)
(I can't change, I can't change...)
(Ooooohhhhh...)

Cos' it's a bittersweet symphony this life.
Trying to make ends meet, trying to find some money then you die.
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down...
You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet, yeah.
You know I can't change, I can't change, I can't change,
but I'm here in my mold, I am here in my mold.
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next.
I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

(It's justs sex and violence melody and silence)
(It's just sex and violence melody and silence)
(I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down)
(It's just sex and violence melody and silence)
(I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down)
(Been down)
(Ever been down)
(Ever been down)
(Ever been down)
(Ever been down)
(Have you ever been down?)
(Have you ever been down?)
(Have you ever been down?)

I can't change my mold either. I scrub with bleach and Comet and ever more toxic cleansers, but it keeps growing back, ever more green and pungent...

Have you tried soda water?

[readingthedark.livejournal.com]

The only thing in the world that worries me -- other than the old, addled man in the coffee shop this morning who wanted to buy scrambled eggs for everyone with such fervor that he must've thought it would lead to world peace or victory in war or something -- is that the mold is forming shapes that are starting to look like alchemical symbols.

I started by pouring soda water on the mold. It burped and thanked me but said the bubbles sometimes gave it gas.

I think you're overlooking one obvious solution. You must immediately burn down your home and salt the ashes.

I've always liked that song, but it amuses me a little that it helped break up the band. Their best known song, and they lost control over it because they were stupid enough to sample off the Stones.

As I understand it they thought they had the rights cleared before they released it, but the Stones' attorneys decided they had "overused" the sample. Whatever the story it's a shame that the song has that hanging over it.
