Our Friends In The Insect World

[koganbot]

Wistful thoughts from some shorter members of the animal kingdom:

from t.A.T.u.'s "Fly On The Wall"

When you're naked in the shower
When you're sleeping for an hour
When you're big, when you're small
Oh, I wish I was a fly on the wall

When you're with her after midnight
When you kiss her in the dim light
When you break Barbie doll
Oh, I wish I was a fly on the wall

Wanna see who you are
Every inch, every scar

From your head to your toes
I would be there
From your bed to your clothes
I'm in the air
When you think you're alone
I'll be down the hall
I could see it, if I was a fly on the wall

from CSS's "I Fly"

Last night I turned into a fly
I got through your window and I landed in your eye
You were sleeping, you didn't mind
So I flew further down inside your open mouth.

Down your throat I tickle around
And then you coughed me up, oh yeah you coughed me out
I hid behind your curtains 'til you fell asleep again
I hope you understand I just want to be your friend.

The t.A.T.u. song takes their endless, hopeless yearning to an obvious extreme, the result being disappointingly obvious. The CSS song, on the other hand, is insouciantly* charming. Their album is "on the bubble," as the sports reporters say, currently fighting with Santogold and Scooter and Taylor Swift for the last two spots on my P&J list.

*Is "insouciantly" a word?
