[lonely-motel-girl]

subheading has to be: he wanted a bride I was making my own name

I'm gonna do it

I'm gonna name that Alisa/Nash fanfic, “I wouldn't marry me either” or just straight up “You're losing me” 😈

Alternatively, I could name it Law and Order as a joke /j

champagne problems    

Your Midas touch on the Chevy door November flush and your flannel cure "This dorm was once a madhouse" I made a joke, "Well, it's made for me" How evergreen, our group of friends Don't think we'll say that word again And soon they'll have the nerve to deck the halls That we once walked through One for the money, two for the show I never was ready so I watch you go Sometimes you just don't know the answer 'Til someone's on their knees and asks you "She would've made such a lovely bride What a shame she's fucked in the head," they said But you'll find the real thing instead She'll patch up your tapestry that I shred

You're On Your Own, Kid    

From sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes I gave my blood, sweat, and tears for this I hosted parties and starved my body Like I'd be saved by a perfect kiss The jokes weren't funny, I took the money My friends from home don't know what to say I looked around in a blood-soaked gown And I saw something they can't take away 'Cause there were pages turned with the bridges burned Everything you lose is a step you take So, make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it You've got no reason to be afraid

[tea-blankets-andstars]

CHAMPAGNE PROBLEMS IS THE MOST MARAUDERS ERA CODED SOMG EVER

allow me to elaborate

You booked the night train for a reason So you could sit there in this hurt, Bustling crowds or silent sleepers You're not sure which is worse - remus coming back to hogwarts in PoA

Because I dropped your hand while dancing, Left you out there standing, Crestfallen on the landing. Champagne problems. Your mom's ring in your pocket, My picture in your wallet, Your heart was glass, I dropped it. Champagne problems. - Sirius when remus thinks hes the traitor

You told your family for a reason, You couldn't keep it in- Regulus talking abt him & james

Your sister splashed out on the bottle- petunia 

Now no one's celebrating- the events of oct 31, 1981

Dom Pérignon, you brought it- griffindore party

No crowd of friends applauded- the prank

Your hometown skeptics called it Champagne problems- sirius family abt him

You had a speech, you're speechless, Love slipped beyond your reaches- jily

And I couldn't give a reason. Champagne problems- peter when hes asked why he betrayed james & lily

Your Midas touch on the Chevy door, November flush and your flannel cure- wolfstar

"This dorm was once a madhouse" I made a joke, "Well, it's made for me"- the marauders

How evergreen, our group of friends Don't think we'll say that word again, And soon they'll have the nerve to deck the halls That we once walked through- the skittles

One for the money, two for the show. I never was ready, so I watch you go- reg about siri

Sometimes you just don't know the answer 'Til someone's on their knees and asks you- reg right before he dies

She would've made such a lovely bride What a shame she's fucked in the head, they said- lilys family about pandora

But you'll find the real thing instead, She'll patch up your tapestry that I shred- reg after james breaks up with him after he gets the dark mark and starts dating lily

And hold your hand while dancing, Never leave you standing, Crestfallen on the landing With champagne problems- remus after he learns sirius was innocent

Your mom's ring in your pocket, Her picture in your wallet, You won't remember all my Champagne problems- sirius watching over remus after he dies

You won't remember all my Champagne problems- the legacy they all left behind

Battle Of The Bridges: Final Round!

All Too Well

And maybe we got lost in translation

Maybe I asked for too much

But maybe this thing was a masterpiece

'Til you tore it all up

Running scared, I was there

I remember it all too well

And you call me up again

Just to break me like a promise

So casually cruel in the name of being honest

I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here

'Cause I remember it all, all, all

Too well

Cruel Summer

I'm drunk in the back of the car

And I cried like a baby comin' home from the bar (Oh)

Said, "I'm fine," but it wasn't true

I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you

And I snuck in through the garden gate

Every night that summer just to seal my fate (Oh)

And I scream, "For whatever it's worth

I love you, ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?"

He looks up, grinnin' like a devil

champagne problems

Your Midas touch on the Chevy door

November flush and your flannel cure

"This dorm was once a madhouse"

I made a joke, "Well, it's made for me"

How evergreen, our group of friends

Don't think we'll say that word again

And soon they'll have the nerve to deck the halls

That we once walked through

One for the money, two for the show

I never was ready so I watch you go

Sometimes you just don't know the answer

'Til someone's on their knees and asks you

"She would've made such a lovely bride

What a shame she's f*cked in the head," they said

But you'll find the real thing instead

She'll patch up your tapestry that I shred

[taylortruther]

ok so the black dog/champagne problems inversion thing for me is this: they are both about the dissolution of a serious/long relationship but from opposite perspectives ("you won't remember all my champagne problems"//"i hope it's shitty at the black dog"). I see it as a purposeful inversion, like, the narrator in champagne problems is resigned about the ending, they are looking back on their closeness and memories with fondness while in The Black Dog those memories are exactly the ones who hurt the most and build the disbelief on how the other person is even able to move on. There's two direct parallels, right, the first one is the tapestry ("the magic/tragic fabric of our dreaming" // "you'll find the real thing instead, she'll patch up your tapestry that I shred") in CP it's the listener's tapestry, she just shred it, the implication being that it was never hers to begin with while in TBG it's belonged to both of them, they made it together and it has no use anymore. Then the college one ("do you hate me? was it hazing? for a cruel fraternity I pledged and I still mean it" // "this dorm was once a madhouse, I made a joke, well it's made for me; how evergreen our group of friends, don't think we'll say that word again, and soon they'll have the nerve to deck the halls that we once walked through"). The college metaphor is specially strong in this because the situation in champagne problems is sugestive of like a graduation, right? It's a bittersweet recording of the ending, as it was once a madhouse, we all lived here and had a group of friends, it's all being left behind, while in TBG she's recalling the start of college life, pledging to a fraternity, stuck at the promise of what everything would/could have been.

STUCK AT THE PROMISE OF WHAT EVERYTHING WOULD/COULD HAVE BEEN :( good thoughts here, bestie! also fantastic catch about the tapestry.

[lipslikethegardensofbabylon]

thinking about “but she's too young to know this song in the magic fabric of our dreaming” and “but you'll find the real thing instead, she'll patch up your tapestry that I shred”

[buggybambi]

anyway. another thought i had? champagne problems with carmen.

"you had a speech, you're speechless. love slipped beyond your reaches." carm proposes. after years of dating, years of tears and laughter, he's on his knees in front of you.

it's a gorgeous proposal, the one you've dreamed about since you were little. the kind you'd plan on a playground during recess. he has donna's ring, his sister is across the room. his friends just outside with champagne and party poppers.

"she would have made a lovely bride, what a shame she's fucked in the head."

except you didn't expect to be saying no. that was never in the plan. begging him to talk in private. pleading him to hear you out as tears fight to escape his eyes, ones he blinks away as you say this isn't what you want, not yet. to just slow down.

"but you'll find the real thing instead. she'll patch up your tapestry that i shred."

you watch through a camera lens on social media, photos from nat and even the new girl, how happy he is. how she's the one by his side, holding his hand. nat posting videos of them dancing together, holding each other close.

he found the real thing instead.

[cosmiclove-heavenstruck]

loml as the other pov (the one proposing) in champagne problems

if you know it in one glimpse, it's legendary, you and i go from one kiss to gettin married

you said i'm the love of your life about a million times / love slipped beyond your reaches

who's gonna tell me the truth when you blew in with the winds of fate / you booked the night train for a reason so you could sit there in this hurt

you took me to hell, too / your mom's ring in your pocket, my picture in your wallet, your heart was glass, i dropped it

a con man sells a fool a get-love-quick scheme, but i felt a hole like this, never before, and ever since / i never was ready, so i watch you go, sometimes you just don't know the answer 'til someone's on their knees and asks you

you shit-talked me under the table, talking rings and talking cradles, i wish i could un-recall how we almost had it all / how evergreen, our group of friends, don't think we'll say that word again

dancing phantoms on the terrace, are they second-hand embarrassed, that i can't get out of bed? cause something counterfeit's dead / because i dropped your hand while dancing, left you out there standing

"i'll never leave" ... "never mind" / you won't remember all my champagne problems

but you'll find the real thing instead, she'll patch up your tapestry that i shred

[meetmebehindthealcott]

rip to never getting champagne problems x I look in people's windows mashup for the train of it all but also:

what a shame she's fucked in the head they said, you'll find the real thing instead, she'll patch up your tapestry that I shred…. and I'll look in people's windows like I'm some deranged weirdo… she'll hold your hand while dancing… I'll look in people's windows… she'll never leave you stranded… in case you're at her table…

The Great War    

It turned into something bigger Somewhere in the haze, got a sense I'd been betrayed Your finger on my hairpin triggers Soldier down on that icy ground Looked up at me with honor and truth Broken and blue, so I called off the troops That was the night I nearly lost you I really thought I'd lost you

[bidamonalbarn]

a reminder that yoghurt boy cowrote the song with the line "I never was ready so I watch you go" and "sometimes you just don't know the answer 'til someone's on their knees and asks you" and "you'll find the real thing instead, she'll patch up your tapestry that I shred" and "your heart was glass, I dropped it" and "love slipped beyond your reaches and I couldn't give a reason" and
