Post #701: Morrissey - "The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get" - Vauxhall & I

So as I've probably mentioned a time or two already on this here little blog of mine, I LOVE to read!  My favorite genre of literature is the memoir.  With that said, I recently finished a fantastic memoir by Diablo Cody.  If her name sounds familiar to you, that's because she wrote the ever-so-witty film, Juno.

Her memoir is titled Candy Girl: A Year in the Life of an Unlikely Stripper.  At no time did I anticipate finding Morrissey's name in a memoir with a title such as this, but he is there in black-and-white on page 145 under the heading of "The Ten Worst Songs to Strip To".  I suppose Morrissey would be okay with that, even if he only charted at Number 10.  A huge shout out to Vanilla Ice for coming in 4th place!! :)

I've scanned the cover of the memoir for you, as well as the previously mentioned section:  







And although I could most likely name at least 10 other memoirs that I would suggest to you before recommending this one, it still had me laughing out loud from cover to cover, so it's definitely worth the read.

Another one of my favorites from the Vauxhall & I album is "Speedway".  That tune has been running wild through my head all week, so I'm including it for you today, as well.

Until next time...

The more you ignore me
The closer I get
You're wasting your time
The more you ignore me
The closer I get
You're wasting your time
I will be
In the bar
With my head
On the bar
I am now
A central part
Of your mind's landscape
Whether you care
Or do not
Yeah, I've made up your mind
The more you ignore me
The closer I get
You're wasting your time
The more you ignore me
The closer I get
You're wasting your time
Beware!
I bear more grudges
Than lonely high court judges
When you sleep
I will creep
Into your thoughts
Like a bad debt
That you can't pay
Take the easy way
And give in
Yeah, and let me in
Oh, let me in
Oh let me
Oh, let me in
It's war
It's war
It's war
It's war
It's war
War
War
War
War
Oh, let me in
Ah, the closer I get
Ah, you're asking for it
Ah, the closer I get
Ooh, the closer I
