what exactly do you do for an encore?

"you are hardcore,
you make me hard.
you name the drama and i'll play the part.
it seems i saw you in some teenage wet dream.
i like your get up if you know what i mean.

i want it bad.
i want it now.
oh can't you see i'm ready now.

i've seen all the pictures,
i've studied them forever.
i wanna make a movie so let's star in it together.
don't make a move 'til i say, "action."

oh, here comes the hardcore life.

put your money where your mouth is tonight.
leave your make-up on & I'll leave on the light.
come over here babe & talk in the mic.
oh yeah i hear you now.
it's gonna be one hell of a night.

you can't be a spectator.
oh no.
you got to take these dreams & make them whole.

oh this is hardcore - there is no way back for you.
oh this is hardcore -this is me on top of you
& i can't believe that it took me this long.
that it took me this long.

this is the eye of the storm.
it's what men in stained raincoats pay for,
but in here it is pure.
yeah.

this is the end of the line.
i've seen the storyline played out so many times before.
oh that goes in there.
then that goes in there.
then that goes in there.
then that goes in there.
& then it's over.

oh, what a hell of a show.
but what i want to know:
what exactly do you do for an encore?

'cos this is hardcore."

aisles and rows


"i took her to a supermarket,
i don't know why but i had to start it somewhere,
so it started there."

common people ~ pulp

there is something i find completely zen about grocery stores. wandering up and down the aisles, pushing the cart in front of me, and slipping into some kind of zone where all i think about are the labels and colours around me. it clears my head and i find it strangely relaxing. if you visit me and take a trip to the grocery store you will find that the experience sparks conversations in the same depth and scope as driving around in a car with me does, or sitting with me at the beach.
