Wilco - I Am Trying to Break Your Heart (20xx, live)
All this Wilco talk makes me want to post a song by them, because I love them, especially this song and this album (Yankee Hotel Foxtrot).
I’ve been intending to write more, you know, some simple text updates rather than all this great music and art, but I keep getting distracted…oh well. There’s time.
“I am an American aquarium drinker I assassin down the avenue I’m hiding out in the big city blinking What was I thinking when I let go of you
Let’s forget about the tongue-tied lightning Let’s undress just like cross-eyed strangers This is not a joke so please stop smiling What was I thinking when I said it didn’t hurt
I want to glide through those brown eyes dreaming Take you from the inside, baby hold on tight You were so right when you said I’ve been drinking What was I thinking when we said good night
I want to hold you in the Bible-black predawn You’re quite a quiet, domino, bury me now Take off your band-aid ‘cause I don’t believe in touchdowns What was I thinking when we said hello
I always thought that if I held you tightly You’d always love me like you did back then Then I fell asleep in the city kept blinking What was I thinking when I let you back in
I am trying to break your heart I am trying to break your heart But still I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t easy I am trying to break your heart
Disposable Dixie cup drinker I assassin down the avenue I’ve been hiding out in the big city blinking What was I thinking when I let go of you
