Run away from yourself, you’re so pretty when you are somebody else

Prime Circle, Innocence. (Relatively unknown South Africa band)

this song and this line just strikes something in me when I’m feeling tired of putting on a brave face.

What about me, well, I'll find someone
That's not goin' cheap in the sales

Pulp have got some amazing lyrics. I think my favourite is "You can take your Year in Provence and shove it up your arse" from I Spy.

Disco 2000 is the one for me, so much sadness and desperation.

"I never knew that you'd get married, I would be living down here on my own, on that damp and lonely Thursday years ago"

"What are you doing Sunday baby, would you like to come and meet me maybe? You can even bring your baby!"

I think about life and I think about death,
And neither one particularly appeals to me

It kills me how your mind can make you feel so worthless
