I know I believe in nothing, but it's....
My Nothing.

This is just a space I wanted to have where the genius that is Richey and Nicky's songwriting could be appreciated, what follows are some of my favourite songs.  (I change these periodically)

Who I am
Donkeys

Put some lipstick on
At least your lies will be pretty
A shadow on my face
And us donkeys wake up weary

Sweating and sickly
Donkeys don't allow their tears
No emotion never feel
And drown themselves in whatever

Find some meaning
Donkeys weight cracking a spine

Sweetness bent double
Whole days making polite
Never moving out of turn
Or even trying to be natural

Those with silence inside
Eyes bare piss holes in the snow
Drained and burnt yellow
And sunk in self-pity

Jerusalem sawn off
Donkeys are only left with lies
Are only left with lies
Roses in the hospital

Roses in the hospital
Try to pull my fingernails out
Roses in the hospital
I want to cling to something soft
Roses in the hospital
Progressing like a constant war
Roses in the hospital
There's no one to feel ashamed for

All we wanted was a home
Now we are so strung out we wanna own
Like a leaf in the autumn breeze
Like a flood in January
We don't want your fucking love

Roses in the hospital
Stub cigarettes out on my arm
Roses in the hospital
Want to feel something of value
Roses in the hospital
Nothing really makes me happy
Roses in the hospital
Heroin is just too trendy

All we wanted was a home
Now we're so strung out we wanna own
Like a leaf in the autumn breeze
Like a flood in January
We don't want your fucking love

Roses in the hospital
This century achieved so much
Roses in the hospital
To make a voice no voice at all
Roses in the hospital
Flowers cannot express the loss
Roses in the hospital
Torn reflections of burnt out trash
Burnt out trash

Forever ever delayed
Forever ever delayed
Forever
Forever

Forever ever delayed
[Independence is a game]
Forever ever delayed
[Credibility, I'm yawning]
Forever
Forever
Rudi Rudi Rudi Rudi Rudi Rudi Rudi can't fail

Forever ever delayed
Forever delayed
Forever
Forever

Forever delayed
[The West scratches onto my skin]
Forever delayed
[Contagious like a suntan]
[We never felt any sun]
[Oh ooh-oh Rudi Rudi Rudi gonna fail]
Black Dog on my Shoulder

There's a black dog on my shoulder again
Licking my neck and saying she's my friend
Solitude the one thing that I really miss
Guess my life is a compromise

There's a black dog on my shoulder again
I'm playing with it but it's gone to my head
Like "Carlito's Way" there are no exit signs

Freeze me there until I am numb
My mouth is so dry
My eyes are shut tight
There's a black dog a coming tonight
Black dog's a coming tonight

My dilemma but not my choice
Winston Churchill can you hear my voice
Melodrama there in my kitchen sink
Double vision the way it is

Am I coming home to you again
Or am I stupid just by design
Does it matter if you really ever know

This black dog is out of control
My mouth is so dry
My eyes are shut tight
There's a black dog a coming tonight
Black dog's a coming tonight

Am I coming home to you again
Or am I stupid just by design
Does it matter if you really ever know

(Repeat Chorus)
