Electric guitars

You know Katy Perry, Lana Del Rey, Tegan and Sara

I bet you don't know Squeeze

They're old

You know "Cups," "Get Lucky," "Little Talks"

I bet you haven't heard "Up the Junction"

It's old

Thirteen years

Listening to the same thousand rock songs

Squeeze
The Beatles
The Clash
The Pogues

(my mom has a thing for UK artists)

My first favorite song was

"Love Me Do"

Singing in the car

Blaring

"Electric Trains" "Lost In the Supermarket"

They talked about sad childhoods

Being unknown. unnoticed

can't quite relate

but I could appreciate the guitars

Stories. Always stories

Love stories sad stories true stories stories based on books

Haven't heard "Fairytale of New York" in three years

still one of my all time favorite songs

The woman died in a boating accident

what are the lyrics what are the lyrics what are the lyrics
