CHARM SAYS: “Thanks to Albertine for being so fucking amazing.
"I've been a bad, bad girl
I've been careless with a delicate man
And it's a sad, sad world
When a girl will break a boy just because she can
Don't you tell me to deny it
I've done wrong and I want to suffer for my sins
I've come to you 'cause I need guidance to be true
And I just don't know where I can begin
What I need is a good defense
'Cause I'm feeling like a criminal
And I need to be redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's all I ever knew of love
Heaven help me for the way I am
Save me from these evil deeds before I get them done
I know tomorrow brings the consequence at hand
But I keep living this day like the next will never come"
-Fiona Apple, Criminal”
Vivid with an almost glib contempt and an insolent fascination all at once, fevered and gritty and irresistible in beauty and execution. Mad props to Albertine for delving so gorgeously into glamourous grime.
