ONE ART
Elizabeth Bishop
The art of losing isn't hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.
Lose something every day.
Accept the flusterof lost door keys,
the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.
Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meantto travel.
None of these will bring disaster.
I lost my mother's watch.
And look! my last, ornext-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.
I lost two cities, lovely ones.
And, vaster,some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.
---Even losing you (the joking voice, a gestureI love) I shan't have lied.
It's evident the art of losing's not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.

Nouvelle Vague - Heart of Glass
Blondie
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Much to mistrust, love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing byt
I was so blind
Much to mistrust, love's gone behind
In between
What I find is pleasing and I'm feelin fine
Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you it's just no good
You teasing like you do
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Much to mistrust, love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found oyt I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Much to mistrust, love's gone behind
Lost inside
Adorable ilusion and I cannot hide
I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside
We could made it cruising, yeah
It's just no good
You teasing like you do

Love Will Tear Us Apart
Joy Division
by Nouvelle Vague
by Nouvelle Vague
When routine bites hard
And ambitions are low
And resentment rides high
But emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways,
Taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Why is the bedroom so cold?
You've turned away on
Your side
Is my timing tha flawed?
Our respect runs so dry
Yet there's still this appeal that we've kept through our lives
But love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
You cry out in you sleep, all my failings exposed
And there's tast in my mouth as desperation takes hold
Just that something so good just can't function no more
But love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
