If I had a theme song, I think it would be the Black Crowes' "She Talks to Angels." I've had a number of people say that it reminds them of me. Jenn says specifically the line that says, "she keeps a lock of hair in her pocket/she wears a cross around her neck..." I guess I do a pretty good job of not keeping my light under a bushel. Or maybe it's just that I'm a good liar.
The other song that gets referred back to me a lot is "Something I can never have." I've had the lyrics emailed to me after a break up, I've had 2 different people put it on mix tapes specifically referring to me...and I of course have internalized it about my own relationships. It started out to mean Matt Kramer...but ended up meaning something else entirely.
She never mentions the word addiction
In certain company
Yes, she'll tell you she's an orphan
After you meet her family
She paints her eyes as black as night now
She pulls those shades down tight
She gives a smile when the pain comes
The pain gonna' make everything alright
Says she talks to angels
They call her out by her name
Oh yeah, she talks to angels
Says they call her out by her name
She keeps a lock of hair in her pocket
She wears a cross around her neck
Yes the hair is from a little boy
And the cross from someone she has not met
Not yet
(Repeat Chorus)
She don't know no lovers
None that I've ever seen
And to her that means nothing
But to me it means, means everything
(Repeat second verse)
(Repeat Chorus)
