I'm incredibly bored and there's nothing but repeats on tv, so I made a ficmix to go with the WaTfic I'm supposedly working on. That's to say, I made some cover art to go with the playlist I put together when I first began writing. Because when

eskimo_jo does it, it's so cool, and I want to be cool too. Some day.

The Lucksmiths // Sunlight In A Jar

Complex, completely credible love
The kind that is made not handed to you from above
Is difficult to talk about and harder to write
Like the rhythm of a pulse, or the contours of firelight

Overblown libretto and a sumptuous score
Could never contain the contradictions I adore
We can just be chaos and then something aligns
It’s so hard to contain, maintain it or define it

Maria Mena // A Few Small Bruises

Well except for a few small bruises, cuts and scars I'm fine
Oh except for a few small bruises, cuts and scars I'm fine

Thank you for asking!
I'm so glad we had this moment here alone
I know they think I'm crazy
But everything I am, is everything I was taught to be

K's Choice // Almost Happy

If I could look beyond your face
And photograph your hidden place
Would I find you smiling in the picture
I don't know what you want
Because you don't know,
So what's the point of asking
You're almost happy
Almost content
But your head hurts
Far too many ways to go
We learn so much but never know
Where to look
Or when we should stop looking
I can love the whole of you.
The poetry I stole from you
And hide inside my stomach
You're almost happy
Almost content
But your head hurts
It's easy to get lost in you
And fall asleep inside of you
I want to return to you
A reason to be here
A reason to be here
No I don't know what you want
And you don't know
So what's the point of asking
You're almost happy
Almost content
But your head hurts

Aqualung // Nowhere

Hands
Let me hold you
Eyes
Let me see your face
Smile again
As the world
Goes tumbling

Swan Lee // Walk With Me

Do you want me?
Do you know?
Soft like velvet
Walk with me

Will you stop when I'm leading you astray?
Will you follow and trust me all of the way?
I'll be the key in your hands to this mystery land
Don't you stop when I'm leading you astray

Adam Green // Hard To Be A Girl

Sausages and eggs
And hot and sour soup
Thank me for your time
'cause I can be as bad as you

Tina Dickow // Nobody's Man

I love the way you set me off
With a stroke of your hand
And your puzzled look when we make love
That you don’t understand
But nothing I’ve got will make you feel better
At the break of dawn you’ll still
Be nobody’s man

Saybia // Fool's Corner

I'm drifting through the morning breeze
Colours blurring in my eyes
The one that I am missing
Is the one drifting by my side

Lene Marlin // My Lucky Day

I wish that you'd seen something
Special 'bout me too
That you would think of something else,
Not just the way I look to you
I don't see what you see,
How different can I be
And why does it really matter,
I'm just being me

I know you must be happy
Thrilled that I'm not there
Yet I know that I will make it,
Make it good for me out here
And soon I will be smiling,
Everything will be okay
I'll not worry anymore,
that will be my lucky day

The Raveonettes // Love In A Trashcan

Now the time is right and you feel the need
To go down low and receive a treat
The jukebox churns out songs about sex
Come on baby you're my best fix

Old 97's // Question

He took her by the hand
Walked her back home
They took the long way

Some day somebody's gonna ask you
A question that you should say yes to
Once in your life
Maybe tonight I've got a question for you

Marie Frank // Right Beside You

I don’t wanna be your baby blue anymore
And I don’t wanna be the way we were before
Even if we never understand what’s happening
I know that there’s no way I’m gonna, leave you standing alone
Missing me

I’m not gonna drift away, I’m right beside you
You don’t have to be afraid, I’m right beside you
If you ever look you’ll find me, right beside you

Tegan and Sara // Where Does The Good Go

Where do you go with your broken heart in tow?
What do you do with the left over you?
And how do you know, when to let go?
Where does the good go? Where does the good go?

Look me in the eye and tell me you don't find me attractive
Look me in the heart and tell me you won't go
Look me in the eye and promise no love's like our love
Look me in the heart and un-break broken, it won't happen

Freya // Oranges

Isn't it strange who you end up with
Wanting one thing - getting the opposite
Isn't it funny you're as different from me
As soup from ice cream
As those who sleep, from who dreams
As candlelight from spotlight
As coffee from tea
As the relatively straight
From those who'd take both
As those who go down
From those who think it's gross?

Starsailor // Restless Heart

My restless heart beats like a wanton drum
Take it to heart, say I'm your only one.

Lene Marlin // Wish I Could

I wish I could say
That if you change your mind I'm here
That if you call for me, I'm there
If you're hurting, I'll run fast
Forget about the past
I'll be right by your side
