The Smiths – This Charming Man Lyrics 14 years ago
I'm not sure why exactly, but the first section in Bataille's 'Story of the Eye' - where dude and Simone are cruising around the seaside and nail a cyclist - immediately reminded me of the opening verse of this song

The Smiths – This Charming Man Lyrics 14 years ago
I remember reading a slue of perverse French lit a while back, Bataille's 'Story of the Eye' etc and there was definitely a particular scene involving a kid on a some blustery coastal country road and fucking up his bike... he ended up at a mansion, i remember thinking 'oh, that smith's song... duh' but i can't remember what the story was

The Helio Sequence – Hallelujah Lyrics 15 years ago
i think you nailed it, i was walking down the street listening to this song and was overwhelmed by beauty/life etc. if think if i had to fit it into some man-made religious context, the experience would be cheapened and false... knowing this earthly life is all that's guaranteed makes every moment more precious and profound... and desperate

Tilly and the Wall – Pot Kettle Black Lyrics 17 years ago
the second time around
i'm pretty sure she says "the church washes up to shore"
which would connect more with 'stained-glass eyes' ref

and would in general reinforce their
lyrical dealings with religion / gender
"God put down your gun" etc...
