I purchased the album on compact disc when it was released. I remember getting it from the general store, where Mr. Willoughby would sell penny candy to us kids for a ha’penny if he was in a good mood. Then we ran down the road, rolling our hoops with our sticks. That was the day I got my first tricorn hat.

Yeah, in all seriousness, it’s a great song.

Pack it up, y’all. This one just won depression.

Flicking Your Switch

Ladytron

Saw your visa card, and took a trip downtown

i don’t really care that there’s people around

9-2-3, 8-1-6

is the sound of them flicking your switch

8-1-5, 9-1-4

does this mean you don’t trust me anymore?

He tells it like it is except when he doesn’t or it isn’t, sometimes all at once. Depends on what I need to believe.

Is it smelly, viscous, warm liquid that makes an awful sound?

Oh, I get it now. The other foot is uncomfortably dry and flaky.

Why just one?

That’s repulsive. Thank you.

That’s mildly evil. I love it.

What footwear is worn in Heck?

Would you describe that in greater detail?

Are those the brave folks who uncovered the Ukranian Nazi plot to collude with space-laser-owning Jewish people to turn the hurricanes gay so they’ll target conservative towns giving the Immigrants the opportunity to take their guns and steal jobs from helpless billionaires, forcing them to implement DEI quotas and serve fentanyl-laced dog meat for lunch? I feel like I hear that on Newsmax as I leave it on in the background, ya know, for company, because scientists brainwashed my family and now I’m not allowed at Thanksgiving.

Say that they are. What’s it like in imaginary heck?

Ooo. Damons…I like that! It’s Canon now.

What did you do that makes you sure that’s where you’ll go?

Interesting. Does that mean it’s more determined by the conscience than the consequences of one’s actions?

New Orleans?

Thanks for the thoughtful response. That was a good read. Some of those things seem significantly worse than the others. Is there more to that?

Respectfully disagree about the HOA. I know they serve a function, but I feel like it would be better served by a government organization.

Also, dont you think that depends on the parents?

Okay, I get it now. Yeah, that’s pretty gross. You’d be a good heck demon. Are they called demons? Seems like it should be something more boring.
