I Will Always Love You
01:54

I will not always make sense.
It's just not one of my strengths.
You will only see me from distances
of vast and immeasurable lengths.
Simple things, like leaves in spring.
Why oh why, not pop songs, too?
Recycled phrases for the masses.
Why oh why, not for me, too?
Twelve colors in a box of crayons.
Six colors in a rainbow.
Three words left for me to say.
I will not always exist.
How could I make such a claim?
But I have lied for lesser things,
and so I'll say it just the same.

I'm saving, saving all my love for you.
I will love nothing at all.
Every whim abortional.
See me waiting dendroid and dormant,
just sick from all this saving,
saving my love for you.

I'm Your Baby Tonight

Monday, I'm the garbage collector,
but I'm your baby tonight.
Tuesday, I'm the health inspector,
but I'm your baby tonight.
Wednesday, I'll be your primary physician,
and on Thursday I'll be your aircraft technician,
but I'm your baby tonight.
Friday, I'll be a jail warden,
but I'm your baby tonight.
Saturday, I'll be Sunday morning
'cuz I'm your baby tonight.

I want to dance with somebody who loves me.
Who loves me?
I'm standing still.
The floor won't let me move.
They're dancing all around me,
saying,
what are you trying to prove?

|
Stranded on the island of Malta.
I'm gonna lose my head.
You know what I say - it's my prerogative.
If you're gonna go, go ahead.
A letter to the Apostle Paul.
Didn't we almost have it all?

The Greatest Love of All
01:21
|
|||
|
I want to destroy the greatest love of all.
I want to destroy the greatest love of all.
You won't survive this saboteur.
You and I will take a nosedive.
An inspiration for self-immolationists.
I want to destroy the greatest love of all.
I want to destroy the greatest love of all.
It won't be very nice, but greatness awaits us twice.
You and I will inflict injury.
Instead of making love, we're making history.

Where do broken hearts go?
I will tell you, but I don't think you ought to know.
They're locked inside small cages.
Connected to monitors and gauges
so that science can better understand
what the fuck is wrong with all of us
and our endocrine glands.

How Will I Know?
01:18
|
|||
|
How will I know? How will I know?
How will I know? How will I know?
I'm delirious thinking that you are still alive.
You're at the top of the world and I'm back in '85.
Feeling so deprived.
Oh Whitney, are you calling Clive?
How will I know? How will I know?
How will I know? How will I know?
Now I think I see, I know,
exactly where broken hearts go.

So Emotional

I'm so emotional.
I can't control myself.
I'm a mess. I'm a mess.
I'm a mess. I'm a mess.

Exhale (Shoop Shoop)
02:20
|
|||
|
Shoop, shoop. Doo lang, Doo lang.
Shoop, shoop. Doo lang, Doo lang.
A bright meadow in silk chiffon.
You want to take my place, you'll have to put me on.
I always have your voice caught in my throat.
I'm thinking your words, I'm singing your notes,
but I'm all alone.
I'm all alone. I'm all alone. I'm all alone.
Shoop, shoop. Doo lang, Doo lang.
Shoop, shoop. Doo lang, Doo lang.
I'll always surrender if you leave me to choose.
I don't want control; it's just one more thing to lose.
Let's see what chaos offers and we'll improvise.
I know you want answers, but I say, just let me be surprised.
And I'm all alone. I'm all alone.
I'm all alone. Yes, I'm all alone.

Commuter Fatigue
by Charlie Crane
Wonderful, lo-fi, quirky pop mania. Charlie also interviewed the Hussalonia founder for an episode of his equally wonderful podcast, Stereo Hysteria.
go to album
Manic, lo-fi pop miracles. It pains me that Foibles isn't better known to the music-loving world. Start with "Solid Rock Baptist Rummage Sale" and "Holly Ann Place," but they're all amazing.
