icons + songs:

sweet desdemona, lock away your fate/ your own hells forsake you as i go out your gate/ when the wolves come to take you i will not be there/ don't look for me to save you/ you can drown for all i care esthero - it don't mean a thing
*
i've made the same mistake/ i know the awful ache/ of a little heart that's been double-crossed/ the waiting's been so long/ it's hard to be believing/ i thought i'd missed my guess/ i thought happiness for me was lost nina simone - tell me more and more and then some (written by billie holiday)
*
i never claimed to be your saviour/ i said i had a dirty mouth garbage - dumb
*
oh good day orphan town/ peace is raining down/ warm your hands on my shoulderblades/ my parents gave me this peace/ who we are is how we love/ that is all i need sarah slean - narcolepsy weed

1.  you walked into the room/ the sun hit my eyes/ the force you struck me down caught me by surprise garbage - til the day i die 2. you can be so lost and so found/ deep inside of me/ swallow me esthero - swallow me 3.  sarah slean - narcolepsy weed (see above) 4.  now that you know what you know/ i bet you wish you could let it go/ you'll never come sucking your thumb/ better off dumb garbage - dumb
*
cold as a lover/ don't you want to stay?/ breath from another and i'll have my way esthero - breath from another

don't speak to me of love/ because you don't know the truth/ it's too late to say you're sorry/ just put on your walking shoes esthero - it don't mean a thing
*
you can't wake/ i can't sleep/ and now they've got you/ stealing cars and chasing lullabies/ how will i drag you out of motel daydreams?/ when will you realise?/ i don't make sugar promises/ like dandelion seeds/ lying still with open palms/ i'm only watching you breathe sarah slean - narcolepsy weed

business is business/ especially this water into wine/ is this the game i'm supposed to play every time? sarah slean - bank accounts
*
what has it cost you/ i almost lost you/  a long long time ago/ you should have told me/ but you had to bleed to know/ all your past sins are since past/ you should be sleeping/ it's all right, sleep tight/ through the long night with me billy joel - through the long night (i like the lyrics better than the song itself though)

i know you're lonely cause you're just like me garbage - lick the pavement
and this one *
trouble in mind, i'm blue/ but i won't be blue always/ cause the sun's gonna shine in my back door some day/ i'm all alone at midnight/ and my lamp is burnin' low/ ain't never had so much/ trouble in my life before nina simone - trouble in mind

and a couple of jokes:
*

and my favorites of the ones without text, just for eye candy:


the ones with * are mine, but if by some strange chance anybody wanted the other ones, they could have them.
more songs coming later at some point, after my playlist is finalised.

Re: Me neither

midwestern and new england and west coast english, for the most part, are pretty bland and modernised. or so it seems to me. ...i still (mostly) prefer them though.

I heard Vermont had some original phrasing.

I don't really have a preference, I just enjoy language. All sorts :)

yeah, the further north bits have some weirdness, as do the rural northern bits. it always strikes me as possible leftovers from the original european immigrant populations that filled the area.
