lauralh | you were mine for the taking

Concert tonight:

I liked Garbage. I mean Shirley Manson has the sexiest voice evah, and they only played 2 songs off the new album (which I don't like), the rest stuff I know from 2.0 and the first album. So that was great. Not quite as cool as the show I saw in Raleigh three years back, but hell, what can you do? they weren't the main act, and couldn't go on forever.

Whereas I totally knew no songs No Doubt played. At least they started with "Hella Good", but I totally knew no other songs they played. Which was a shame as they were putting on a pretty damn good show. Gwen's stomach distracted me for a while, though. My god, that thing is a work of art, and I want one just like it. But only that could occupy me for so long, especially as it made me think of sex with someone who wasn't there.

But just as I was about to give up and leave, they did an amazing version of "I'm Just A Girl."

You and me
We used to be together
Every day together always

I really feel
I'm losing my best friend
I can't believe
This could be the end

It looks as though you're letting go
And if it's real,
Well I don't want to know

Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts

Our memories
They can be inviting
But some are altogether
Mighty frightening

As we die, both you and I
With my head in my hands
I sit and cry

It's all ending
I gotta stop pretending who we are...
You and me
I can see us dying ... are we?
