I've got no plans for tomorrow.
I've got no plans in sight.
In fact I'm free this week.
I'm free this month.
I'm lonely. Lonely this year.
I'm lonely forever.
But today...

Love has left the room. The party is over, but I can’t get sober. Obsession is towing me deep down. Love has left the room. It fled out the back door when all that I asked for was forever more, or a real goodbye. It didn’t say goodbye.
And I’ll let go if you just tell me; give back the pieces of dreams that you sell me. I’ll let go if you just let. I will forget you if you will forget me. I will slip your mind.
Tie me to the mast. Cast me in irons, I hear the sirens: they sing of desire, the fatal kind. This love is my last, my final possession, most violent caress and it’s deep down. It’s real deep down.
And I will let go if you just tell me; give back the pieces of dreams that you sell me. I’ll let go if you just let. I will forget you if you will forget me. I’ll slip your mind. I will slip your mind.
Once it settles down, every fire has burned out, what do you think you’ll find poking through the embers? Memories that sting through the strangeness of your doubt? Things that you can’t live without?
So I die. Give back the pieces of dreams that you sell me, and trick my mind. I’ll let go if you just let me, I will forget you if you will forget. I will slip your mind…
So that’s ‘Love Has Left The Room’ by A Camp.
I’ve decided, that now when I post the lyrics to an entire song, I shall include a brief review/explanation of my appreciation for the song.
I love this song because of its melodrama; the comparison of the persona being tempted by the sirens of love, being driven onto the rocks and shoals and sunk by this infatuation of hers. I say hers because the A Camp singer is a chick.
I believe this song was on an episode of Weeds, but I’m not positive. I learnt of it via a Weeds recap on TWoP. The author, Jacob, who also does the Doctor Who recaps, used the lyrics to underscore Nancy’s (basically) rape at the beginning of season five.
So yes, I like this song. Very much. Makes me think of… not rape, thank god. Makes me think of regret, loss, the desire to forget but being completely unable to.
