Here are lyrics from a dozen songs that have been in my head recently. If you feel moved to do so, you may write to me identifying the songs, and I'll post an update giving you credit for your musical erudition.

I'm working on more involved post about the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, but it was busy at the store today, so for now, this:

1) Grab yourself sweetness where you can, cause sooner or later we’re gonna die, left to the dogs under the sky.

2) Leave out conditions, courageous convictions will drag the dream into existence.

3) Have you ever seen a picture of Jesus laughing? Do you think he had a beautiful smile? A smile that healed?

4) Last night I had the strangest dream. (Monkey in a turban, oh what does it mean?)

5) And we played the first thing that came to our heads, just so happened to be the best song in the world.

6) Love is drowning in a deep well. All those secrets, and no one to tell.

7) I’m losing myself, my desire I can’t hide, no reason for my fall.

8) Don’t leave it all unsaid, in the wasteland of your head... Make no mistake my friend, your pointless life will end. But before you go, can you look at the truth? You have a lovely singing voice.

9) How can I live without you, if it means I gotta get a job?

10) This light is here to keep you warm. This song is here to keep you strong.

11) I do believe it’s true, there are roads left in both of our shoes, but if the silence takes you then I hope it takes me too.

12) Insight, foresight, more sight, the clock on the wall reads a quarter past midnight.

In case I lack the oomph to get around to it before then, happy holidays to you all, my friends.
