Suicide makeup and a black tee top

All the Joy Division fans work in coffee shops

She's nice to the hippies and she's nice to the cops

She rolls her eyes when you ask please toast my bagel

She sighs and my-my's when you talk price and finagle

Fingers in her ears she pushes eject on John Mayer (thank you bee, better than Slayer))

Then pops Ian Curtis back into the CD player

She can make a Hammerhead all while doing the music swap

The little guy in the back, horn rims, seems kinda gay?

That tiny hipster makes a mean latte

Short attention span always watching the clock

(bee)

Watches all the patrons drinking coffee at their leisure

Her mind wanders off into Unknown Pleasures

She carves Disorder into all the tabletops

All the Joy Division fans work in coffee shops

 

(stick)

Maybe they'll meet on a shift pattern clash

Comparing eyeliner and album art tats

He'd do anything to win her heart

But he knows that love, love will tear them apart

So instead his gaze will aim firmly at his socks

I sure hope this is in the key of Depressed

 

Just curious what coffee shops regularly play Slayer? You may need to go with something more along the lines of Fingers in her ears she pushes eject on John Mayer, Then pops in some Warsaw on the CD Player.

Good one! John Mayer's perfect. But I love the way the words Ian Curtis sing. Gotta keep his name in there. He's the one who sang Love Will Tear Us Apart. Right?

Nicely done. Good idea to include as many song titles as possible.

Yep. Warsaw was the name of the band before they became Joy Division. Leave Ian Curtis in there... it works well.

No! That's freaking GREAT! It's most definitely a three way co-write. I want to come up with a feel along the lines of Love Will but not that melody at all. I think it's really cool. Funny.

Ahhhh...


So much clearer now...
:cool:

 

I'm serious! Bee used the phrase All the Joy Division Fans Work at Coffee Shops in response to Ram's comment about his barrista having a Love Will Tear Us Apart tattoo. A song by Joy Division. Joy Division being the gloomy but very cool yet depressing band from the late 70's. The singer committed suicide. Think Cure fans with really bad depression. Adn more loyal to cause. Or whatever.

 

Coffee shops. See?

 

So this all happened in another thread and I decided to use the phrase cause it cracked me up. Makes sense to me! :)
