Bonus points to anyone who can name the song from which this post derives its title.

Leonard Cohen - I can't forget

lyrics

Gotta love the Google.

Huh, looks like the Pixies covered it too.

Indeed. I was thinking about the Pixies version when I wrote the post. Congrats, Mr. Unknown!

Your blog entry title made me think of the Belle and Sebastian song, A Summer Wasting.

"Summer in winter
Winter in springtime
You heard the birds sing
Everything will be fine"

lyrics

I prefer:



"Hilary walked to her death because she couldn't think of anything to say

Everybody thought that she was boring, so they never listened anyway

Nobody was really saying anything of interest, she fell asleep

She was into S&M and bible studies

Not everyone's cup of tea she would admit to me

Her cup of tea, she would admit to no one

Her cup of tea, she would admit to me

Oh but her cup of tea, she would admit to no one"

Actually, I love this, when they sing about (some of) themselves:



"This is just a modern rock song,

This is just a sorry lament,

We're four boys in corduroys,

We're not terrific but we're competent.



Stevie's full of good intentions,

Richards into rock 'n' roll,

Stuart's staying in and he thinks it's a sin,

That he has to leave the house at all."

I've been listening to this song over and over since I acquired it on BearShare yesterday:



"And now we meet in an abandoned studio.

We hear the playback and it seems so long ago.

And you remember the jingles used to go.

Oh-a oh

You were the first one.

Oh-a oh

You were the last one.

Video killed the radio star."
