curiouswombatI mentioned my fic Pure Morning in an e-mail at breakfast time today, and I've been going around singing the Placebo song that gave it its title ever since.
Except I've been singing the Rohirric version - my brain keeps changing the words to
"A friend in need's a friend indeed, a friend with mead is better."
For those who have never quite worked out what this has to do with my story, here are the full lyrics, with the relevant lines in italics...
"Pure Morning"
A friend in needs a friend indeed,
A friend with weed is better,
A friend with breasts and all the rest,
A friend who's dressed in leather,
A friend in needs a friend indeed,
A friend who'll tease is better ,
Our thoughts compressed,
Which makes us blessed,
And makes for stormy weather,
A friend in needs a friend indeed,
My Japanese is better,
And when she's pressed she will undress,
And then she's boxing clever,
A friend in needs a friend indeed,
A friend who bleeds is better,
My friend confessed she passed the test,
And we will never sever,
Day's dawning, skins crawling [repeat three more times]
Pure morning, [repeat this three more times]
A friend in needs a friend indeed,
A friend who'll tease is better,
Our thoughts compressed,
Which makes us blessed,
And makes for stormy weather,
A friend in needs a friend indeed,
A friend who bleeds is better,
My friend confessed she passed the test,
And we will never sever,
Day's dawning, skins crawling [repeat three more times]
Pure morning,[repeat this three more times]
A friend in needs a friend indeed,
My Japanese is better,
And when she's pressed she will undress,
And then she's boxing clever,
A friend in needs a friend indeed,
A friend with weed is better,
A friend with breasts and all the rest,
A friend who's dressed in leather

Date: 14/06/2012 12:31 am (UTC)Do you want to exchange earworms? I've had "Hang down your head, Tom Dooley" stuck in my brain for days. I just finished reading a fascinating book about the case (http://www.amazon.com/The-Ballad-Tom-Dooley-Novel/dp/0312558171/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1339633764&sr=8-1). I had no idea he was a real person! However the song... it needs to get out of my brain!

I think I did read about Tom Dooley being an actual person a few years ago, probably in a book review in a Sunday paper or similar - but don't really know an awful lot about him.
