A/N: Thank you as always to elisi for beta-ing and moral support. I don't shine if you don't shine. And a special thank you to purplefringe, whose beautiful Rory Williams vid to this song made me fall in love with it in the first place. So y'all should go watch that too!

"Good Omens: Read My Mind" (Watch on YouTube)

On the corner of main street
Just tryin' to keep it in line
You say you wanna move on, and
You say I'm falling behind

Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

I never really gave up on
Breakin' out of this two-star town
I got the green light
I got a little fight
I'm gonna turn this thing around

Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

The good old days, the honest man
The restless heart, the Promised Land
A subtle kiss that no one sees
A broken wrist and a big trapeze

Oh well, I don't mind, you don't mind
Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Before you go, can you read my mind?

It's funny how you just break down
Waiting on some sign
I pull up to the front of your driveway
With magic soaking my spine

Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

The teenage queen, the loaded gun
The drop dead dream, the Chosen One
A southern drawl, the world unseen
A city wall and a trampoline

Oh well, I don't mind, you don't mind
'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Before you jump
Tell me what you find
Can you read my mind?

Slipping in my faith until I fall
You never returned that call
Woman, open the door, don't let it sting
I wanna breathe that fire again

She said, I don't mind, you don't mind
Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Put your back on me
Put your back on me
Put your back on me

The stars are blazing like rebel diamonds cut out of the sun
Can you read my mind?

I'll be back and attempt to be articulate. Maybe.

OH GOD ALL THE FEELS MY HEART.

Thank you!

Oh Promethia this is WONDERFUL <3 <3 <3 I love it, I can't believe you made it so quickly, and it's just beautiful. I am on holiday somewhere with very bad internet right now, so I've only managed to watch it a couple of times, but I'm totally going to download it when I can. I love so many of your clip match choices - I love the Ritz as 'the promised land' so much <3 You've just made the whole song work so well!

(and thank you for the rec! I'm delighted you like that vid. Who would have thought that the same song would work so well about Rory and Crowley?! And in fact I first came across it in a vid about Sherlock Holmes...!)

I had no idea this was the perfect song for this pairing. Now I do. Thanks to you. Well done.

This is so lovely! So many clever lyric matches and just suffused with feelings. Oh Crowley, he just has so many emotions all the time. <333
