She's come undone
She doesn't want to go or stay
Oh, she's come undone
Sometimes she cries all day
But her tears turn into fishes
And then they swim away...
She's come undone
But she was never that together anyway.
That's the chorus of the song stuck in my head. It sounds like a Beatles tune with a simple arrangement of piano, drums and a violin (which has a solo somewhere in the song). It's a little like "I Am The Walrus" or "Maxwell's Silver Hammer," which both have very catchy tunes but are really disturbing when you listen closely to the lyrics.1
The weird thing is that I've never heard the song before. It only exists in my head, and is not yet complete. If you're familiar with Sandman you can probably tell who it's about.
In RL news, the highlight of my weekend was going to the Shakespeare Free For All production of Hamlet with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

1 I don't think anyone could have missed hearing "I Am The Walrus" unless they live under a rock or something, but "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" is somewhat obscure, or at least as obscure as a Beatles song can get. It's a cheerful ditty about a serial killer who bonks people on the head with the titular object.

I didn't know that until just right now! They didn't teach us that in high school English class!

I don't remember where I first learned that little tidbit - it might have been in an annotated version of Much Ado About Nothing, which is, basically, a comedy about people making a big deal about who's having sex with whom.
