I put on that sweater you gave me
I woke up in the kitchen a few minutes later
I didn't know how I had gotten there
Did you guide me
I didn't make it to your funeral
I didn't want ritual nor resign
I just wanted to hold hands with
J.P and Mary-Jo
But I couldn't conjure tears
We're too good for stupid angels
Blackness held its breath beside me
And burned the air till it was gone
Till it was gone
Till it was gone

Couldn't pay my respects to a dead man
Your life was much more to me
And I chased away with sticks and stones
But that rage kept following me
Following Me
Following Me
So lost I was asleep in the palms of your hand
In dreams we were happy and safe
I can't comprehend the ways I miss you
They come to light in my mistakes
In my mistakes
In my mistakes
Now I'm travelling down Tacoma way
And the world turns in slow motion
It's the twilight of our old home
And I'm still in love with you
Oh here on South Tacoma way
We've memories for matinees
And the tears come warm and heavy
And the cross streets bare your name
And the cross streets bare your name

I like much on Neko's work, but not this.

That's that sparkly gold stuff that they make suits out of, yeah? This is old school and brilliant. I agree.

I owe Neko to Radio Paradise. I can listen to pretty much anything by her and enjoy it, and this one is no exception.

Just thinking: what's with that reccuring car wreck imagery on her covers?
Hmmm uh, sorry, the cover of "Blacklisted" *looks* like a car wreck... but she's actually just enjoying lying on the road under the back of a van... !? Love her anyway {#Cool}

This is fantastic!  Love it!  (I sure wish I were one of those boyfriends... sigh..:)
  
From your postings, it sounds like you've enough women on your plate already, lad ;)

I'm usually a big fan of Neko's, but this one's pretty dull IMO. A mere 4 from the disappointed Nottingham jury.

hey. this is a first. I'm reviewing this song before it's even been played...saw it in the list of Neko's songs and thought I'd say hi. Furnace Room - great album, only outdone by Fox Confessor...Ms. Case is fabuloso, enjoy!
 
Its because it has never been played. Even 2 years after your post.
I wish Bill would devote a day to play all those "never" songs.
