Last time I saw you
We had just split in two.
You were looking at me.
I was looking at you.
You had a way so familiar,
But I could not recognize,
Cause you had blood on your face;
I had blood in my eyes.
But I could swear by your expression
That the pain down in your soul
Was the same as the one down in mine.
That’s the pain,
Cuts a straight line
Down through the heart;
We called it love.
So we wrapped our arms around each other,
Trying to shove ourselves back together.
We were making love,
Making love.
It was a cold dark evening,
Such a long time ago,
When by the mighty hand of Jove,
It was the sad story
How we became
Lonely two-legged creatures,
It’s the story of
The origin of love.
That’s the origin of love
– Excerpt from Hedwig and the Angry Inch, The Origin Of Love
I love Hedwig and the Angry Inch! Saw the stage show many, many times and this song remains my favorite.
This is really beautiful!
This is truly one of the most honest and beautifully painful songs ever written about love! Gorgeous font too!
Hedwig is one of my favorite movies, and this song is the best on the soundtrack. I would love to see the stage show one day! Excellent choice and lovely font.
I am so happy to find other Hedheads!
