Description
I absolutely love the song 'Cup of Coffee' by Garbage. It's full of such vivid imagery. So, I did a storyboard of sorts the other night. It's not too original, considering the song practically narrates, but these are just the images that came to mind. It's in scraps for a reason.

There are 16 panels. In case you can't read the lyrics written, here's how the song coordinates to each panel:

01 | You tell me you don't love me over a cup of coffee
02 | And I just have to look away
03 | A million miles between us
Planets crash into dust
I just let it fade away

04 | I'm walking empty streets hoping we might meet
05 | I see your car parked on the road
06 | The light on at your window
I know for sure that you're home
But I just have to pass on by

07 | So no of course we can't be friends
Not while I'm still this obsessed
I guess I always knew the score
This is how our story ends

08 | I smoke your brand of cigarettes
And pray that you might give me a call
09 | I lie around in bed all day just staring at the walls
10 | Hanging round bars at night
Wishing I had never been born
And give myself to anyone who wants to take me home

11 | So no of course we can't be friends
Not while I still feel like this
I guess I always knew the score
This is how our story ends

12 | You left behind some clothes
My belly summersaults when I pick them off the floor
13 | My friends all say they're worried
I'm looking far too skinny
I've stopped returning all their calls

14 | And no of course we can't be friends
Not while I'm still so obsessed
15 | I want to ask where I went wrong
But don't say anything at all

16 | It took a cup of coffee
To prove that you don't love me

'Cup of Coffee' lyrics (c) Garbage, 'Beautiful Garbage'

Images are still mine, though. Ballpoint pen in a coilbound sketchbook.
