The model is my beautiful, kind and talented ex and friend, Kylie. She is way cool. She has a remote control darlek. I mean. That… is cool.

Hm – erm finished sometime after Christmas 2007 but not too long cuz I just ate reheated PUDDING which was FANTASTIC even though it is made with suet.

Damn. Shouldn’t have thought of that.

No really.

Damn.

Am adding the song that I wrote from whence I took the titles to the two works… and to the diptych that contains them both.

I am allowed. I’m special. Like Ralph in The Simpsons.

OUR LITTLE DEATHS… (The chords also rock. I will upload the song itself as soon as I get to the point where I can organise recording it.)

you nail my guitar to the bedroom wall
you lick your lips promise me more
take my nail polish, go out to score
but I can’t, I won’t help you... anymore.

That final appointment waiting in line
A scar on the flesh of your inner thigh,
A casual promise and a white lie
Where the old bridge splits... the hot night sky

CHORUS
Our little deaths
Holding your breath
I’ll always be less
Always a mess
Ill never confess
To the cuts on my flesh
Or the tears on your dress
Are all we have left

You carry the heat all bloody and keen
Hot with this fever since you were 15
Stones you’ve kept for each lie you have been
Blame your green eyes, for what they have seen

We kissed on the beach last Halloween.
And now we’ll never forget the shit we have seen
The hell in the wall the gorgeous machine
The tiny mad children that we have both been
