Oh, god, this is the funniest one yet. Perfect song choice.

I think you're missing a "things I don't know" category, though: how to leave you, how you do it.

quite right. d'oh! i got hung up on the "never gonna do" category.

editing and posting over there, because i actually did skim all 25 pages of comments, and nobody's done it. i am stunned.

i could go on and on.

turn around:
  • every now and then I:
    • get a little bit:
      • lonely and you're never coming 'round
      • tired of listening to the sound of my tears
      • nervous that the best of all the years have gone by
      • terrified and then I see the look in your eyes
      • restless and I dream of something wild
      • helpless and I'm lying like a child in your arms
      • angry and I know I've got to get out and cry
    • fall apart

          • the boy you always wanted to be
        • always be:
          • the only boy who wanted me the way that I am
      • there's:
        • nothing in the universe as magical and wond'rous as you
        • nothing any better
        • nothing that I just wouldn't do

    • giving off sparks

once upon a time:
  • i was falling in love
  • there was light in my life

now:
  • i'm only falling apart
  • there's only love in the dark

nothing:

Things that are my soul up there:
  • A little black spot on the sun (today)
  • A black hat caught in a high tree top
  • A flag pole rag (when the wind won't stop)

Things that are the same old thing as yesterday:
  • A little black spot on the sun
  • A fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall
  • A dead salmon frozen in a waterfall
  • A blue whale beached by a spring tide's ebb
  • A butterfly trapped in a spider's web
  • A king on a throne with his eyes torn out
  • A blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
  • A rich man sleeping on a golden bed
  • A skeleton choking on a crust of bread
  • A red fox torn by a huntsman's pack
  • A black winged gull with a broken back

Circumstances under which I have stood here before:
  • In the pouring rain
  • With the world turning circles running 'round my brain

Things that I guess I am always hoping:
  • That you'll end this reign

Things that are my destiny:
  • To be the king of pain
