So often I hit on a few songs or an artist that I get stuck on for awhile. Current obsession: Beulah.

The really nice thing about my iPod is that as I listen to stuff walking around campus, I tend to listen to the lyrics more. Hence my newfound deep love (as opposed to my previous deep like) for "A Good Man is Easy to Kill," "Popular Mechanics for Lovers," and "Gravity's Bringing Us Down."

I know he knocks you off your feet,
You’re so bitter; you think he’s sweet.
Well he’s wrong for you, I swear.

Did you forget to read the script?
There was never a role for him.
It was always you and me, just me

Popular mechanics for broken hearts could help me now.

I know you never felt romance,
And we always lack suspense -
I can edit those parts out.

I never made you feel complete,
I would fall beneath your feet.
I would never bring you down, so down.

Popular mechanics for broken hearts could help me now.

Just because he loves you too -
He wouldn't ever take a bullet for you.
Don’t believe a word he says -
He wouldn't ever cut his heart out for you.

I heard he wrote you a song -
But so what.
Some guy wrote 69,
And one just ain’t enough.

And there’s no sense in him trying -
I know cuz I’ve been
Trying all the time to find something that would make you mine.
But all I ever find my love
Are clichés that don’t rhyme.

Popular mechanics for broken hearts could help me now.

Just because he loves you too -
He wouldn't ever take a bullet for you.
Don’t believe a word he says -
He wouldn't ever cut his heart out for you.

Beulah, "Popular Mechanics for Lovers"
