on a freezing chicago street we shook

Artist- Margot & the Nuclear So and Sos
Song of the day- On a Freezing Chicago Street

Sometimes the appropriate song for the day are the too obvious ones that spell it out for you. Such as today's song. I pretty much couldn't pass up the title itself though the rest of the song is quite depressing and has nothing to do with weather. And it gives me an excuse to play something from one of my fav albums. But do me a favor and for once don't take advice from me or my song of the day. Don't stand outside on a freezing chicago street, don't take too many pills, don't write epic poems to win back lovers...I feel as though all might be a bad idea, but if you must get drunk on cheap red wine in plastic cups I understand. There is only so much you can do during a thunder-snow-storm.



on a freezing chicago street we shook
your hands were trembling from all those pills you took
and we got drunk on cheap red wine in a paper cup

and i was barely awake when you got home
and climbed yourself into bed wearing cheap perfume
and sarah screamed your every breath is a gift
if you weren't so selfish then you might want to live

so if your lover should leave don't get too sad
and don't compose epic poems to win her back
'cause when your bird has flown, she'll never return home
though all your life you'll wait she never will return
