"That." Cesare sucks in his lower lip, does his best to keep a straight face, looks to the floor, but ere long his shoulders are shaking with silent laughter. "That has to be the single most atrocious song I've ever heard," he snorts, pressing curled fingers to his lips to cut off a number of wildly inappropriate responses. He has to gaze into the distance for a full minute in order to compose himself, then wipes tears of mirth away.

"Oh Déu. I mean, really. That's quite... horrific. Sorry. The lyrics, hm? Oh, I don't know. The usual games, no?" He shrugs. There's nothing new or gripping in the sordid symmetry of love; you, me, him, her. He knows this, knows it well. There's no forever, and bodies have become interchangeable. He wouldn't go so far as to say that they're commodities; there's one that wasn't. One he never should have touched.

Ecco. Most of the time it's just a sad dance between twitching corpses.

	Ecco. Most of the time it's just a sad dance between twitching corpses. Che. That kind of hurts. But I like the idea, a lot. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Cesare's lowly scribe may have been overcome by several sordid notions, among them the sheer ridiculousness of coupling and the sadness thereafter, and in her mind, Soft Cell were battling Def Leppard (and won) which accounts for a lot, I'd say...

Numbers
Who's the person that you
woke up next to today
If you were any older
Then you'd know you'd
have to pay your way
Well maybe you do already
But you make out they pay you
Did you ask yourself where did
love go wrong with you?
Numbers
Don't tell me your name I
don't want to know
And don't forget to take the
reminders when you go
Good things had to end
And I was never any good
at saying goodbye
Because when I say goodbye a
silly thing happens
And I always cry
Numbers
You're looking so thin these
days are you doing speed?
(No, numbers)
Have you seen your face? Now
you're really going to seed
(Playing numbers)
Doing a nine to five in the day
And you never know their names
Because names make a person real
And there's no real people in these games
Numbers
Pass them on and pass them by
Numbers
Never hold a good thing down for long
Numbers
Throw 'em away like Kleenex
Numbers
Pick them up and push them away
Numbers
Oh numbers
Until you wake up one day
And find that you're a number
Body one, body two, body three, body four
Numbers
