A song I just heard and really liked
Well, God, it's like this
It may be arrogance or just appalling taste
I'd rather use my pain than let it all go to waste
On some old god who tells me what I want to hear
As if I cannot tell obedience from fear
I want to take my pleasures where and how I will,
Be they disgraceful or distasteful or distilled
And to be frank I find that life has more appeal
Without a driver who's asleep behind the wheel
--"Don't Look Down" by the Divine Comedy (YouSendIt link)
The song is actually about a Ferris wheel, and the rest of it is quite good too, but that was the part that made me stop washing the dishes and check my iPod to see what I was listening to.
