my heart’s been borrowed and yours has been blue (lover) / when your cascade, ocean wave blues come (peace) / don’t want no other shade of blue but you (hoax) / who would you be sad with? who would you deal with when they were sad and like gray skies everyday for months - would you still stay? (long pond studio sessions) / you sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest days (so long, london)

Mrs Schofield’s GCSE

The Poem Carol Ann Duffy penned in response to her work being removed from a GCSE curriculum.

You must prepare your bosom for his knife, 

said Portia to Antonio in which

of Shakespeare’s Comedies?  Who killed his wife,

insane with jealousy? And which Scots witch

knew Something wicked this way comes? Who said

Is this a dagger which I see?  Which Tragedy?

Whose blade was drawn which led to Tybalt’s death?

To whom did dying Caesar say Et tu? And why?

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark – do you

know what this means?  Explain how poetry 

pursues the human like the smitten moon

above the weeping, laughing earth; how we

make prayers of it.  Nothing will come of nothing;

speak again.  Said by which King?  You may begin.

remember when people (I think credit is due as always to @cages-boxes-hunters-foxes) were like "feel it in my bones there's a white/black 1989 costume out there"... Let's circle back to that!

Cannot stop thinking about Anne magill paintings. Maybe my new favorite painter. She just captures this ..,,,,,, dreamy feeling...,,, a certain tenderness..... a fleeting moment of contentedness..... like nothing else I’ve seen

I think you can certainly pinpoint lines to certain men but loml I think overall is so blurred. Like it is written about a pile of loss. In a short period of time I lost all of this shit. Sparks and promises and futures and marriages and babies and love.

yes 1000% agree - sort of the wake of the entire thing when she realizes she has to pick up the pieces of her life. i kind of view the album in four acts: the buildup (1-5), the delulu (6-9), the breakdown (10-13), and the awakening and coming home to herself (14-16).
