Let Me Set the Battlements on Fire
There is absolutely no explicable reason that I should wake up with the Pet Shop Boys’ version of “You Were Always on My Mind” swirling through my head of its own damn volition this morning, but I did. I tried to make my sleepy brain combat it while I was showering and the best the feeble thing could do was flash back to the other night when we were at the new wave HEB on Burnet and heard Sting’s “Fortress Around Your Heart.”
I’m going to assume these to be bad omens, same as black cats in your path, breaking mirrors and such. I am fearful of this day.

You could’ve fallen back on the Pointer Sisters’ “Automatic,” which had the entire grocery store dancing and singing along.

I always thought the Pet Shop Boys “It’s a Sin” was a good dance number. I’m a fan.
