I love this Lou Reed song. I know it's about heroin addiction, but I enjoy taking it at face value. It breaks my heart. This and his "Pale Blue Eyes".
Today really is a perfect day:
It's gorgeous.
We're having pedicures at the office with martinis, starting at 4:00.
Then we're going to see Ray Lamontagne.
Then Justin Rutledge.
So good.
Just a perfect day,
Drink Sangria in the park,
And then later, when it gets dark,
We go home.
Just a perfect day,
Feed animals in the zoo
Then later, a movie, too,
And then home.
Oh it's such a perfect day,
I'm glad I spent it with you.
Oh such a perfect day,
You just keep me hanging on,
You just keep me hanging on.
Just a perfect day,
Problems all left alone,
Weekenders on our own.
It's such fun.
Just a perfect day,
You made me forget myself.
I thought I was someone else,
Someone good.
Oh it's such a perfect day,
I'm glad I spent it with you.
Oh such a perfect day,
You just keep me hanging on,
You just keep me hanging on.
You're going to reap just what you sow...

Ah, Lou. I have such an ambivalent relationship to him..."Take a Walk on the Wild Side" makes me want to shake him silly, but this one is just so darned pretty...
