The Kit Kat Club

Music meme! apple_scruffer gave me the letter H (mostly, as I ascertained, so that I could include "Human"). If you'd like to participate, comment and I'll give you a letter so you can play. Post 5 songs in your journal beginning with that letter. Easy!

Half Jack by Amanda Palmer/The Dresden Dolls (not sure which to attribute it to).
And when I let him in I feel the stitches getting sicker
I try to wash him out but like they say, "the blood is thicker..."
I see my mother in my face
But only when I travel
I run as fast as I can run
But Jack comes tumbling after
Is this song about daddy issues, or being a hermaphrodite? You decide! It's dark and beautiful and wonderful.

Hey, Hey by Dispatch.
Now here I come one more time
But she slides on by
Not even a second look
She took the bait right off that hook
I've got my blinders on tight
I pull my cap a little lower
I can hide, hide away
I had this song on repeat for much of 8th grade. I had a mad crush on this girl on my bus...this always makes me think of her. It still applies pretty well to the dumb shy crushes I get on girls.

Homeward Bound by Simon and Garfunkel. Sorry for the weird filename on this one; it's what happens when you download shit on Limewire.
Tonight I'll sing my songs again
I'll play the game and pretend
But all my words come back to me
In shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness in harmony
I need someone to comfort me
Beautiful, melancholy, amazing harmony, Simon and Garfunkel are just fucking amazing, ok?

Human by Mile 77.
Are we human, or are we dancer?
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I'm on my knees looking for the answer:
Are we human, or are we dancer?
I have no idea who this band is. I couldn't even find a lyrics page for them. I got this off a Stephen Colbert/Rahm Emanuel fanmix. (You heard me.) The point is, this song is AWESOME.

Here I Dreamt I Was An Architect by The Decemberists.
But you, my soiled teenage girlfriend
Or are you furrowed like a lioness?
And we are vagabonds
We travel without seatbelts on
We live this close to death
Possibly my favorite Decemberists song, or close to it. I have no idea wtf it's supposed to be about, exactly, but it's gorgeous.
