Title: Like I Wish I Had Fire
Subject: Iker/David, Casillas/Beckham, Bicker, Becksillas, etc, etc.
Summary: Made as an early Christmas present for
familiardevil . I fully admit that this will make no sense to anyone besides her. Basically, David Beckham and Iker Casillas are two of the most famous football/soccer players in the world. For a while, they played on the same team (lol why am I making a Real Madrid mix?) and had a really amazing bromance. Then David moved to LA to play for the LA Galaxy (fuck yeah) and made Iker look like sad!Orlando Bloom. (They're still friends though; David stuck around in South Africa to watch Iker and Spain win the World Cup this year.)
These are The Facts. So of course familiardevil and I came up with A Story to go with these facts. That story, as summarized by familiar (and with some modifications by yours truly) is thus, "David moves to Iker's team. David woos Iker. David and Iker have a lot of sex. Iker falls in love with David. David is an asshole to Iker and sleeps around and makes Iker's heart ache all the time. Iker breaks things off. David is sad but pretends he isn't. Iker is sad and tries to move on. Eventually David stops being such a snake, and he and Iker get back together." This mix is that story as told through song.
Or you could not read all that and just enjoy the music. Mix contains front and back covers, individual uploads of 11 songs, and a .zip of all songs.



(1) Basic Space – the xx
Neck, chest, waist to floor
Easy to take, you could take me in fours
Make me a deal, a day a piece
Take it all, just stay a week
I'll take you in pieces
We can take it all apart
I've suffered shipwrecks right from the start
I've been underwater, breathing out and in
I think I'm losing where you end and I begin
I can't let it out, I still let you in
I can't let it out, I still let you in
(2) Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk – Rufus Wainwright
cigarettes and chocolate milk
these are just a couple of my cravings
everything it seems I like's a little bit stronger
a little bit thicker
a little bit harmful for me
it isn't very smart
tends to make one part so broken-hearted
I'm just a little bit heiress, a little bit Irish
a little bit Tower of Pisa whenever I see you
so please be kind if I'm a mess
(3) England – The National
Someone send a runner
Through the weather that I'm under
For the feeling that I lost today
You must be somewhere in London
You must be loving your life in the rain
You must be somewhere in London
Walking Abbey Lane
I don't even think to make
I don't even think to make
I don't even think to make corrections
Put an ocean and a river
Between everybody else,
Between everything, yourself, and home
(4) On Tour With Zykos – Okkervil River
He gets close, but I choke
Take your shit, take your clothes
And get out of my home
I want you to love me
Or I want you long gone
You're a figure of fun to everyone
Beneath the lone star, neon blue broken sign
They wish they were you
Like I wish you were mine
What a dumb thing to do
How come I shout goodbye when god knows I just want to
make this white lie big enough to climb inside
with you?
I can't say that I'm feeling all that much at all
at 27 years old.
So, I wonder who you got your hooks in tonight
Was she happy to be hooked and on your arm?
Did she feel alive?
Her head all light
(5) Chelsea Hotel No. 2 – Rufus Wainwright
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
you were talking so brave and so sweet
giving me head on the unmade bed
while the limousines wait in the street
Those were the reasons and that was New York
we were running for the money and the flesh
I need you, I don't need you
I need you, I don't need you
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
you were famous, your heart was a legend
You told me again you preferred handsome men
but for me you would make an exception
And you got away, didn't you babe,
I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best
I can't keep track of each fallen robin
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
that's all, I don't even think of you that often
(6) Summer in the City – Regina Spektor
summer in the city means cleavage cleavage cleavage
and I start to miss you, baby, sometimes
I’ve been staying up and drinking in a late night establishment
telling strangers personal things
I’ve been hallucinating you, babe, at the backs of other women
and I tap them on the shoulder and they turn around smiling
but there’s no recognition in their eyes
summer in the city means cleavage cleavage cleavage
and don’t get me wrong, dear, in general I’m doing quite fine
it’s just when it’s summer in the city, and you’re so long gone from the city
I start to miss you, baby, sometimes
(7) Rome – Phoenix
Who's the boy you like the most?
Is he teasing you with underage?
Could he be waving from a tropical sunset?
Static silhouette somehow
Single in his bed someday
Quiet till it falls, falls, falls
Oh no! What did I say? What can I say?
Rome, Rome, many tears have fallen here
I'll be driving, you look the other way
Always and forevermore
I call to say I'm on the way
2000 years remain in a trash can
Let burn the cigarette somewhere
Ashes till it falls, falls, falls
I stand outside under broken eaves
I know I can't do without
The future's trying to wait
I've never loved you
And if I loved you
I wouldn't say that I'm sorry oh no
I thought I couldn't do this without you
(8) Oh, You Are the Roots That Sleep Beneath my Feet and Hold the Earth in Place – Bright Eyes
You are the roots that sleep beneath my feet,
and hold the earth in place.
Each time a faucet opens,
words are spoken,
the water runs away,
and I hear your name.
No, nothing has changed.
There was this book I read and loved,
the story of a ship.
who sailed around the world and found,
that nothing else exists;
beyond his own two sails,
and wooden shell,
and what is held within.
All else is sure to pass,
we clutch and grasp,
and debate what's truly permanent.
But when the wind starts to shift,
there's no argument.
I sing and drink,
and sleep on floors,
and try hard not to be annoyed,
by all these people worrying about me.
So when I'm suffering through some awful drive,
you occasionally cross my mind.
It's my hidden hope that you are still among them.
Well are you?
(9) Bruce Wayne Campbell Interviewed on the Roof of Chelsea Hotel, 1979 – Okkervil River
Old times, hello, hey, I've missed you
Old life, hey now, let me in
Because you win on every issue
Now, can I kiss you?
Don't you care how long it's been?
It has been so many years, I lived my yearning
But in every bed, it led me through
They only bloom on what was burning
And it grew, the fire grew
So, take me, I'm yours
(10) Monster Love – Goldfrapp
I never thought I would return
To be consumed by you again
Think you're cured
You'd see it come
The folly of a monster love like you
Everything comes around
Bringing us back again
Here is when we start
And where we end
(11) Ambulance – TV On the Radio
your slim frame
your eager eyes
and your wild mane
oh, they keep me where I belong
all wrapped up in wrong
you're to blame
for wasted words of sad refrain
oh let them take me where they may
believe me when I say
oh, I will be your accident
if you will be my ambulance
I will be your screech and crash if you will be my crutch and cast
I will be your one more time if you will be my one last chance
so fall for me
and I will be your one more time if you will be my one last chance
so sweet dream fall with me
fall fast fall free fall with me
