Nico - These Days

I've been out walking
I don't do too much talking
These days, these days.

These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
And all the times I had the chance to.

I've stopped my rambling,
I don't do too much gambling
These days, these days.

These days I seem to think about
How all the changes came about my ways
And I wonder if I'll see another highway.

I had a lover,
I don't think I'll risk another
These days, these days.

And if I seem to be afraid
To live the life that I have made in song
It's just that I've been losing so long.
La la la la la, la la.

I've stopped my dreaming,
I won't do too much scheming
These days, these days.

These days I sit on corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten.
Please don't confront me with my failures,
I had not forgotten them.

Ye know with stuff like this going on
dreadful dreadful awful stuff




STUART, Florida (AP) -- A woman was arrested for dousing herself with perfume, spraying the house with bug killer and disinfectant, and burning scented candles in an attempt to seriously injure her chemically sensitive husband, prosecutors said.

Police charged Lynda Taylor, 36, with aggravated battery Thursday.

David Taylor, 46, is disabled due to allergies that resulted from exposure to toxic mold and hazardous chemicals as a construction worker, his doctors say. That exposure netted him $150,000 in a recent workers compensation settlement.

The fragrant incident occurred April 4 during a conversation the couple were having about separating after three years of marriage.

Taylor told investigators that his wife became enraged when he refused to give her half of his settlement.

"Lynda came in the kitchen wearing perfume and applied some to [her daughter]. Then [she] went around the house spraying Lysol and even sprayed some in my face," David Taylor wrote in his complaint.

Taylor's physician provided investigators with a letter confirming he suffers from extreme chemical sensitivity, "including all fragrances, air fresheners and other volatile chemicals," and that his wife was aware of it.

Lynda Taylor's attorney, Karen Steger, said the charge was a misuse of the criminal justice system.

"The guy's a faker," she said. "He just wants to gain an advantage in the divorce case."

David Taylor's lawyer, Cynthia Grooms Marvin, said she could not talk about the case.

That's a fine collection of words.
Which is worse - letting opportunities slip by, or seizing things that seem like opportunities then finding out that they weren't? 'I coulda been a contender' or 'I failed'?

Or the Joy Division one:

THESE DAYS

Morning seems strange - almost out of place
Searched hard for you and your special ways
These days - these days

Spent all my time - learnt a killer's art
Took threats and abuse till I'd learnt the part
Can you stay for these days?

These days - these days

Use outward deception to get away
Broken heart romance to make it pay

These days - these days

We'll drift through it all - it's the modern age
Take care of it all now these debts are paid
Can you stay for these days?

other Joy Division lyric:

"nnnnnngggg......tie.....caught....in......chandelier.....nnnngggghhhhhhhhhh"

One of my favourite scenes in the Royal Tenenbaums was Margot stepping off the bus and walking towards Richie, all in lovely bitter-sweet slow motion and Nico singing These Days in the backround...

Strange girl Nico, I totally love about 6 of her songs but some of the others, feckin feck...
