i've just found this out (forgive my ignorance)... does anyone remember those pictures of peacocks miles would post in his stories pre-cts? 👀 of course later on we found out that they were hinting at the peacock-y sounds at the beginning of 'don't let it get you down'... but who's to say this was their only significance? 🧐
Ah I’m having a great time with Al. He’s my best mate and I love him and we have a laugh together. We’ve even done most of this album together which was great cos I love being with him. The sex is great too, but basically we’re just having a laugh (Telepathy, Rearrange)
Don’t Forget Who You Are
Well, I’m still having a great time with Al, but sometimes he fucks me off because he doesn’t know what he wants. I don’t even know why it gets to me so much. I mean we’re just mates who sleep together aren’t we? I’ll even refer to him as ‘her’ in songs cos basically I’m straight (Don’t Forget Who You Are, Give Up, Out of Control)
Coup de Grace
I fucking love him. Properly love him. In love with him. The fucking bastard has broken my heart. We spent that summer together and I told him I loved him and I thought we would be together but he’s let me down and gone back to his girlfriend. I hate him. I love him. I hate him. I love him. (Too Little Too Late, Killing the Joke, Wrong Side of Life, Shavambacu)
Change The Show
He’s a tosser. I’ve decided that. Total tosser. He needs to sort out his issues. It’s not like I even think about him that much. Well I do. But I’m fine without him. Tosser. I love him. I hate him. I love him. But sod him (See Ya When I See Ya, Change the Show, Adiós Ta Ra Ta Ra)
One Man Band
Alright, I’m still madly in love with him. And I admit a lot of our relationship problems was down to me being a fuckwit and a commitment phobe. He still loves me and I think we can make a go of things as long as I work through my issues and he has a bit of patience (Troubled Son, The Wonder, Heal, Random, Doubles, Scared of Love)
thinking abt that interview where they describe alex as a "diamond backed terrapin" and that line from caroline that goes "the world at your feet / an oyster but you can't break the shell"
i love that now he has no one to hold him back from getting his nails done and/or that he realised that he can do whatever he wants to his own body if it's something that would make him happy. manis and pedis are not for women only! i LOVE to see men making themselves feel pretty too
my reaction to him not doing what he wanted to just because his gf told him not to:
heres my current top 10 mk songs/recommendations because he deserves all the love and appreciation in the world!
10. adios ta-ra ta-ra - change the show - just recently got into this one (thankyou, you know who you are 👀) and i cant stop listening to it!! also very much milex coded...

5. dont forget who you are - dfwya - this song has a very special place in my heart and it has got me through more than i can admit
4. before it's midnight - b-side - sooooo underplayed but christ its such a gorgeous song and it is very firmly stuck in my head ahh
