Not a loser I swear

So I know posting twice in one day puts me in the loser catagory, but I found this and I am way too excited about it. First, there is a little backstory to this wonderful find. This year has been le merde when it comes to matters of the heart for me. When I say le merde, I mean le merde, things have been ass, but some good things have come of it all.

One of the best things by far has been the finding of this band called Pink Martini, they sound like a 30's dance hall band mixed with a salsa band and they have very noir inspired lyrics. It's easy to say that I love them and one of my favorite songs they do is called Symathique, obviously in French. But I found a translation for the lyrics and THEY ROCK!! I have dubbed this my song damnnit!
And without further adu,

Sympathique by Pink Martini

My room has a shape of a cage
The sun passes its arm by the window
Hunters at my door
Like the little soldiers
Who want to take me

I don't want to work
I don't want to lunch
I want only to forget him
And then I smoke

Already I knew the perfume of love
A million roses don't embalm as much
Now only one flower in my entourages
Make me sick

I don't want to work
I don't want to lunch
I want only to forget him
And then I smoke

I am not proud of that
Life who wants to kill me
It is splendid to be sympathetic
But I never knew it

I don't want to work
No
I don't want to lunch
I want only to forget him
And then I smoke

I am not proud of that
Life who wants to kill me
It is splendid to be sympathetic
But I never knew it

I don't want to work
No
I don't want to lunch
I want only to forget him
And then I smoke


And I found the lyrics because I was having fun at youtube and for your viewing pleasure:
