With eyes completely open but nervous all the same

Jag har lyssnat på många fantastiska låtar idag, men det är två som kvalificerar sig som Dagens Låtar:

I've nothing much to offer
There's nothing much to take
I'm an absolute beginner
And I'm absolutely sane
As long as we're together
The rest can go to hell
I absolutely love you
But we're absolute beginners
With eyes completely open
But nervous all the same

If our love song
Could fly over mountains
Could laugh at the ocean
Just like the films
There's no reason
To feel all the hard times
To lay down the hard lines
It's absolutely true

Nothing much could happen
Nothing we can't shake
Oh we're absolute beginners
With nothing much at stake
As long as you're still smiling
There's nothing more I need
I absolutely love you
But we're absolute beginners
But if my love is your love
We're certain to succeed

If our love song
Could fly over mountains
Sail over heartaches
Just like the films
There's no reason
To feel all the hard times
To lay down the hard lines
It's absolutely true

Absolute Beginners, David Bowie.

Kanske för att jag är en absolute beginner?

It's over
You don't need to tell me
I hope you're with someone who makes you feel safe when you're sleeping tonight
I won't kill myself trying to stay in your life
I've got no distance left to run

When you see me,
Please,turn your back and walk away
I don't wanna see you
'Cause I know the dreams that you keep
That's where we meet
When you're coming down
Think of me here
I've got no distance left to run

It's over
I knew it would end this way
I hope you're with someone who makes you feel that this life, is a life
Who settles down,stays around,
Spends more time with you,
I've got no distance left to run
I'm coming home
It's over
Come on home
No more

No Distance Left To Run, Blur

Jag tror att Damon skrev den strax efter att det tagit slut med Justine Frischmann (för övrigt en av världens snyggaste kvinnor. Damon har heller aldrig varit ful. Han har dock blivit gubbe.) Låten är så ledsam och videon är också fin; Blurmedlemmarna är filmade av Dogmaregissören Thomas Vinterberg när de sover. Knappast oattraktivt.
