Yesterday I decided to clean out the attic. I'm not sure why, exactly; it seemed like a good idea at the time, but then again, these things usually do. And while I got rid of a lot of stuff, I also made a vacuum-cleaner bag explode & shower everything with mouse crap, banged my newly pierced ear on a doorframe, broke two china plates and got stuck in a bin.

And that was just the first hour.

The point of all this, though, is that afterwards I was listening to music and thinking certain... fannish thoughts... So in honor of fuck all, I started work on a bunch of DW/TW fanmixes, which seem to mostly feature obscure Torchwood-femslash pairings (read: Suzie/Gwen) and the Year That Never Was.

...I fear I may be growing certifiable.

Also, to my knowledge the "dark between the bedposts" title is originally mine, but it sounded vaguely familiar in that heard-it-in-a-dream-or-fic context, so if I've accidently ganked anything of anyone's, let me know. (Knowing my track record, it's an unhappy possibility.)







Me, I'm A Thief [Sarah Slean]
I love you still, always will
Here's hoping you'll be waiting, but I
Gotta fly, gotta say goodbye
Gotta find out what's aching
Me, I'm a thief
I'm a falling star
I'm a photograph taken
From where you are

Human [Goldfrapp]
They fall, from your mouth
Propelled by your belly and your tongue
I shiver when you shake, and I fold into jelly
I think I loved you more than me
...
They went searching for your body
They went looking but there's nobody
Who smells like you
Who looks like you
You're not human

Inertia Creeps [Massive Attack]
Recollect me darling, raise me to your lips
Two undernourished egos, four rotating hips
Hold on to me tightly, I'm a sliding scale
Can't endure then you can't inhale
Clearly
Out of body experience interferes
And dreams of flying, I fit nearly
Surrounds me though I get lonely
Slowly
Moving up slowly
Inertia keeps
She's moving up slowly

Humming [Portishead]
Closer
No hesitation
Give me
All that you have
And it's been so long, that I can't explain
And it's been so wrong
Right now, so wrong

Telepathy [Emiliana Torrini]
Think of me very scientifically
Share your thoughts with me
Send them over land and sea
They seep through walls
Echo down abandoned halls
Let me see your joy and fear
...
How can it be we never see
What we have until it's gone

White Chalk [PJ Harvey]
White chalk sat against time
White chalk cutting down the sea line
I know Mary's by the surf
On a path cut 1,500 years ago
And I know these chalk hills will rot my bones
...
White chalk, poor scattered land
Scratch my palms
There's blood on my hands

You Showed Me [Hannah Fury]
When I tried it
I could see you fall
And I've decided
It's not a trick at all
You taught it to me, exactly what you do
And now you love me too
Oh, oh it's true
We're in love we too
[Download]


Destroying Angel [Sneaker Pimps]
I know you know my head's not in this now
Nothing you could keep so keep me down
Like the stones beneath the water that you walk on, to be taller
The hands you stuck together when you prayed you'd wait forever
Just another fragile angel heart
Falling down on lead wings torn apart

Live Forever [Moby]

Wandering Star [Portishead]
Those who have seen the needle's eye, now tread
Like a husk, from which all that was, now has fled
And the masks, that the monsters wear
To feed upon their prey
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
[Download]


Almost Lover [A Fine Frenzy]
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

Incidently, does anyone know where I can get my hands on the ridiculously-long titled "Your Tongue Like The Sun In My Mouth", by Sophie B. Hawkins? It's practically the Sam/Annie-Sam/Gene anthem but I cannot find it anywhere, and this makes me sad.
