"I want to be your vacuum cleaner, breathing in your dust /
I wanna be your Ford Cortina, I will never rust"
John Cooper Clarke made one of the most romantic songs I've ever heard during this month. Devoting rituals to a person, rubbing lotion into their skin, thinking of them in deep oceans... Our desires are strengthened by pressure, like a muscle. I think JCC exercised that. Being on someone's mind is the greatest form of intimacy between two lovers, true intimacy in wanting to be the chair they sit on, the pillow they sleep on, the dirty engine running their car-- a miasma of devotion. Throughout abstract lyrics, you can make out the faces of our lovers-- a secretive expression of joy on their faces, the posturing of their arms raised high, a divinely muted memory. God, I want to want as much as he does on this song. It's all about want, want, want.
You call the shots. I wanna be yours xx

I wanna be your vacuum cleaner
Breathing in your dust
I wanna be your Ford Cortina
I will never rust
If you like your coffee hot
Let me be your coffee pot
You call the shots
I wanna be yours
I wanna be your raincoat
For those frequent rainy days
I wanna be your dreamboat
When you want to sail away
Let me be your teddy bear
Take me with you anywhere
I don’t care
I wanna be yours
I wanna be your electric meter
I will not run out
I wanna be the electric heater
You’ll get cold without
I wanna be your setting lotion
Hold your hair in deep devotion
Deep as the deep Atlantic ocean
That’s how deep is my devotion

I have loved this song since the first time I heard it. I learned to play it on guitar literally sitting there with it on repeat trying out different fingerings until I got it right.
Allegedly, the lyrics for the song were taken from Valentine’s Day candy hearts. (This seems more like the initial idea vs. how it was actually created/executed). I feel like this song goes WAY beyond romance and into obsession territory -- Michael Stipe (singer) clearly wants to be everything to the object of his desire. "I want the finger with the ring." Perfect. There is a version with Thom Yorke (Radiohead) singing this with the R.E.M. "players" that is also superb: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKPg1rURPqo

🎬Party Girl (1995) was released the year I was born and I am realizing that the movie was a secret guiding light for me all of these years. I am a party girl, and I am a librarian!
