Sappy Song of the Month.

"Samson", from Regina Spektor's album "Begin to Hope":

    You are my sweetest downfall
    I loved you first, I loved you first
    Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
    I have to go, I have to go
    Your hair was long when we first met

    Samson went back to bed
    Not much hair left on his head
    He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
    And history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us
    And the bible didn't mention us, not even once

    You are my sweetest downfall
    I loved you first, I loved you first
    Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads
    But they're just old light, they're just old light
    Your hair was long when we first met
    [Samson lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]


    Samson came to my bed
    Told me that my hair was red
    Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed
    Oh I cut his hair myself one night
    A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
    And he told me that I'd done alright
    and kissed me 'til the mornin' light, the mornin' light
    and he kissed me 'til the mornin' light

    Samson went back to bed
    not much hair left on his head
    Ate a slice of wonderbread and went right back to bed
    Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down
    Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one
    And history books forgot about us
    And the bible didn't mention us, not even once

    You are my sweetest downfall
    I loved you first 
    

Still trying to rein in my diet: every time I start cooking for myself and eating well for a few days, something else comes up and I end up having dinner with friends. It's fine that it's all been in the service of my connections with other people, but I really, really need to stay off the sugar for a week or so--it's noticeably sapping my energy.
