Clark,
Hey, whats up? Me, nothing much, just thought i'd write and ask why you told Leslie that you goofed up yesterday? I don't see where you went wrong because she's going to the dance with you isn't she? Last night after you called her she called me and all she talked aboutwas how much she liked you. I hope you like her alot because if you evertell her that you don't liker her all that much I know what she'll do she'll cry because when she found out that you said that she was about 80ft tallerthan you she almost cried. I wish you two get together before the dance because you never know what you'll get if you ask her to go with you. Well I better let you go for now. Bye see ya later.

gone again
i knew a woman once
i saw her through a window
while we danced slow
her head on my shoulder
a long, sad song
we turned so slowly
rocking from left foot
to right foot
and back
she never looked up
and i shifted slightly
and she never looked up
i knew her then
during that song
through that window
and then she was gone again

Dear Leslie,
Hi, how are you? I'm doing great. I had a good time this weekend.
I know you didn't expect me to show up there at your house. Its only nine miles from Paris, my grandparents live there and I like riding my bike anyway.
I liked hanging out there with you (especially in your mom's roomwhen we were listening to the tape with the Pet Shop Boys on it - i hope she's ok with me smoking in there...maybe we should have made the bed..) I didn't know you were an AC-DC fan. Thats cool. I really like the For Those About To Rock album.
Anyway, I guess I should go. I'll meet you in the stairwell right before 2nd period.
Love,
Clark

Sometimes you're better off dead
There's gun in your hand and it's pointing at your head
You think you're mad, too unstable
Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables
In a restaurant in a West End town
Call the police, there's a madman around
Running down underground to a dive bar
In a West End town

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
West End girls

Too many shadows, whispering voices
Faces on posters, too many choices
If, when, why, what?
How much have you got?
Have you got it, do you get it, if so, how often?
And which do you choose, a hard or soft option?
(How much do you need?)

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
West End girlsWest End girls

(How much do you need?)

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
Oooh West End town, a dead end world
East End boys, West End Girls

West End girls

You've got a heart of glass or a heart of stone
Just you wait 'til I get you home
We've got no future, we've got no past
Here today, built to last
In every city, in every nation
From Lake Geneva to the Finland station
(How far have you been?)

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
A West End town, a dead end world
East End Boys, West End girls

West End girls

Dear Leslie,
Hello. How are you? I hope you are doing okay. I'm doing fine. I hate school. You seem to enjoy it but thatsbecause you are so smart. I think you are pretty too and its ok if you are a little bit taller than me. I still like you.
There. I said it.
I was wondering, if you you weren't already going with someone ( i know you like Jeff) if you would like to go with the dance with me? I can wait for an answer and i understand if you don't want to.
Anyway, i hope you can go with me. I'd like that very much.
Your friend,
Clark
PS - I'll be at the table over by the window at lunch if you want to come over and maybe sit with me.
