Fannish dribs and drabs

[logovo1]

Soundtracks to fanfics only work out one head at a time, a sad thing this but true. Your source of fannish inspiration may actually make me run screaming, while the fic music in my own head could suck hairy ass in your humble opinion. Viridian constantly found inspiration in Depeche Mode. I think that Lisby at some point may have had Tori Amos in her head wailing away while she wrote, but since she never actually said so I think this may not be right. My point. Erm. Yes, my point....

Ah hell, I just need to write down the music that as a reader I associated with fics, for no other reason beyond my own amusement.
So.

I Am Stretched On Your Grave,
I am stretched on your grave
And will lie there forever
With your hands held in mine
I'd be sure we'd not sever
My apple tree my brightness
'Tis time we were together
For I smell of the earth
And am stained by the weather
When my family thinks
That I'm safe in my bed
From night until morning
I am stretched at your head
Calling out to the air
With tears both hot and wild
Oh I grieve for the girl
That I loved as a child
The priests and the friars
Behold me in dread
Because I still love you
My love and you're dead
I would still be your shelter
From rain and from storm
And with you in your cold grave
I cannot sleep warm
