One Slip

I will, I will she sighed to my request
And then she tossed her mane while my resolve was put to the test
Then drowned in desire, our souls on fire
I lead the way to the funeral pyre
And without a thought of the consequence
I gave in to my decadence
-D. Gilmour

Decadence… what a lovely word. Nothing proper these days, nothing appropriate pleases me. I want depravity, self indulgence. I don’t want to please anyone. I want to be pleased.

    My french is quite rusty, I was able to read your next entry but I didn’t know what I was reading outloud.

    But this is one of my all time most absolute FAVORITE Floyd songs…

    Thanks for the comment!

    welcome. Although I prefer the older Floyd stuff, this is one of my favorites too.

  3. That is quite a telling post. Sometimes needs just take over. Very interesting and provocative.

    I agree with decadence, but with all the commercialism, I tend to compare it with chocolate cookies.
