Today
on
the
radio
.
Snap
!
You
were
such
a
swing
fan
...and
you
had
to
have
that
single
.
God
,
you
were
such
a
loser
.
That's
how
the
thread
started
...some
scrap
of
memory
of
Mambo #
5
sitting
on
the
floor
in
front
of
the
tv
in
your
uncle's
basement
.
It
all
rushed
back
to
me
.
The
first
thing
I
saw
on
your
face
wasn't
a
smile
but
that
horribly tacky
eyebrow
piercing
.
It
made
me
mad
...how
you
HAD
to
have
that
piece
of
metal
in
your
face
. Mr.
I
wanna
be
a
radio
personality
.
You
were
so
desperate
to
be
someone
.
And
the
sight
of
her
...oh
yes
I
still
remember
her
.
Stephanie
.
You
sneaky
little
fucker
.
You
wanted
me
to
see
her
there
,
your
bed
all
dishevelled,
your
disgusting
magazines
all
over
the
place
.
I
wanted
to
run
out
of
there
but
my
eyes
were
glued
to
lou bega
in
his
tacky
white
suit
.
It
came
back
to
me
as
the
song
played
on
the
radio
-
remember
Brad...and
then
Beverley
,
my
saviour
.
Remember
Value
Village
as
a
blur
of
black
curtains
;
remember
Staples
for
paper
;
remember
blurry
neighbourhoods
through
my
tears
.
Remember
the
tree
in
the
backyard
where
I
cried
and
where
Brad begged
me
to
stay
.
Remember
her
leaving
...remember
how
uncomfortable
I
made
everyone
.
Remember
a
silent
dinner
,
remember
Brad
bragging
about
Mexico
.
Remember
leaving
...and
your
white
socks
on
the
sidewalk
.
Remember
seeing
you
for
the
last
time
but
everything
coloured
red
...as
my
bleeding
heart
.
So
I
turned
the
fucking
radio
off
...and
remembered
I'm
in
love
.
