May the king of gloom be forever doomed

MCis is one of my favourite albums and I listen to it quite often. 

Some time ago I met this girl but things didn’t work out as I would like and we split up. The lyrics of 1979 (cool kids never have the time/on a live wire right up off the street/you and I should meet) and Bodies (the lonely nights divide you in two) never made so much sense as now.
