Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - Ain't No Mountain High Enough

Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - Ain't No Mountain High Enough

Listen, baby
Ain't no mountain high
Ain't no valley low
Ain't no river wide enough, baby

If you need me, call me
No matter where you are
No matter how far

Don't worry baby

Just call my name
I'll be there in a hurry
You don't have to worry

'Cause baby,
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you, babe

Remember the day
I set you free
I told you
You could always count on me, darling
From that day on I made a wow
I'll be there when you want me
Some way, somehow

'Cause baby,
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you, babe

Oh, oh, darling
No wind, no rain

All winter's cold can't stop me baby
No, no, baby
Cause you're are my goal.

If you're ever in trouble
I'll be there on the double
Just sittin' for me
oh, baby

My love is alive
Way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart

If you ever need a helping hand
I'll be there on the double
Just as fast as I can

Don't you know that
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you

Don't you know that
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
Ain't no mountain high enough...

Amy Winehouse - Tears Dry on Their Own

Amy Winehouse - Tears Dry on Their Own

All I can ever be to you
Is a darkness that we know,
And this regret i got accustomed to.

Once it was so right
When we were at our high,
Waiting for you in the hotel at night.

I knew i hadn't met my match,
But every moment we could snatch,
I don't know why i got so attached.

It's my responsibility,
And you don't owe nothing to me,
But to walk away i have no capacity.

He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day but i'm grown
And in your way,
In this blue shade
My tears dry on their own.

I don't understand,
Why do i stress a man,
When there's so many bigger things at hand,

We could've never had it all,
We had to hit a wall,
So this is an inevitable withdrawal.

Even if i stop wanting you
A perspective pushes true,
I'll be some next man's other woman soon.

I couldn't play myself again,
I should just be my own best friend,
Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men.

He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day but i'm grown
And in your way,
In this blue shade
My tears dry on their own.

So we are history,
Your shadow covers me,
The sky above
A blaze.

He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day but i'm grown
And in your way,
In this blue shade
My tears dry on their own.

I wish i could say no regrets,
And no emotional debts,
Cause as we kiss goodbye the sun sets.

So we are history,
Your shadow covers me,
The sky above a blaze that only lovers see.

He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day but i'm grown
And in your way,
In my blue shade
My tears dry on their own.

He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day but i'm grown
And in your way,
My deep shade
My tears dry on their own.

He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day but i'm grown
And in your way,
My deep shade
My tears dry...

Dusty Springfield - Son of a Preacher Man

Dusty Springfield - Son of a Preacher Man

Billy Ray was a preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they gathered around and started talkin'
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
Out through the back yard we'd go walkin'
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows, to my surprise

The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was

Bein' good isn't always easy
No matter how hard I try
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
He'd come'n tell me "Everything is all right"
He'd kiss and tell me "Everything is all right"
Can I get away again tonight?

The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was (yes he was)

How well I remember
The look that was in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
Takin' time to make time
Tellin' me that he's all mine
Learnin' from each other's knowin'
Lookin' to see how much we've grown and

The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was

(The only one who could ever reach me)
He was the sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man
(The only boy who could ever teach me)
Was the son of a preacher man
(The only one who could ever reach me)
He was the sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man
(The only one who could ever reach me)
Sweet-lovin' son of a preacher man
Ahh, move me.

Jeanne Cherhal - Un Couple Normal

Jeanne Cherhal - Un Couple Normal

T'es amoureuse de lui et lui de toi tu en es sûre,
trop de choses te le prouvent, et tu sens bien qu'il est mordu.
Il téléphone tout le temps, il adore ça, ça le rassure.
Tu le maternes et tu l'appelles mon bébé mon tordu.
Le hic, le détail qui pose une ombre sur votre idylle,
la broutille ennuyeuse qui pourrait te mettre en colère,
le souci qui parfois peut te faire couler l'eau des cils,
c'est qu'il va divorcer.
Mais qu'il arrive pas à s'y faire.

Souvent en rigolant il te dit l'amour clandestin,
c'est ça qu'est excitant, et tu le retrouves au Novotel.
Il te parle du hasard, de vos karmas et du destin
en te jurant tout bas que bien sur c'est toi la plus belle.
Vos nuits, assez brèves, sont passablement érotiques.
Il t'aime il t'aime il t'aime comme jamais il n'a aimé.
T'es son île, sa papaye ou tout autre objet exotique,
il t'aime il t'aime il t'aime, mais là il ne peut pas rester.

Et tu l'attends.
Tu as confiance car un jour il sera ton régulier.

Tu finis ta nuit seule devant des clips ou un Très Chasse consacré,
t'as pas de bol, à l'enfumage des terriers.
Tout d'abord tu t'offusques, et puis tu cries c'est dégueulasse.
Tu éteins en pleurant, t'as eu l'impression d'étouffer.
Le lendemain on frappe à ta chambre d'hôtel,
t'es plus ou moins maussade mais tu ouvres et tu souries.
Les roses de l'amour pour amadouer le coeur de celle que j'aime à la folie.
Voilà, tu fonds et c'est reparti.

Un week-end sur quatre/cinq tu peux le voir deux jours entiers,
t'as treize heures de trajet mais tu t'en fous puisque tu l'aimes.
Tu voyages toute la nuit et au matin t'es arrivée dans un bled en Alsace,
mais tu t'en fous puisque tu l'aimes.
Là vous vous retrouvez un peu comme un couple normal,
tu cuisines, il regarde, vous lisez la presse dans un bain.
Vous parlez un peu d'elle, il te dit que ça lui fait mal
de briser leur image de parents face à ses gamins.

Et tu l'attends.
Tu as confiance car un jour il sera ton régulier.

Tu comprends ses doutes, tu comprends qu'il tarde un peu a être à toi,
rien qu'à toi comme il te le jure.
Il va franchir le cap, il va lui dire pour vous deux.
Pas dès demain, non, mais bientôt, il en est sur.
Il te supplie d'attendre alors que tu ne fais que ça depuis bien trop longtemps.
Attention tu vas le quitter.
Oh, c'est trop dur pour lui, et toi qui ne le comprends pas,
tu ne veux plus l'entendre...
Oh tiens ça y est tu l'as quitté.

Cali - Elle M'a Dit

Cali - Elle M'a Dit

Je crois que je ne t'aime plus.
Elle m'a dit ça hier,
ça a claqué dans l'air
comme un coup de revolver.

Je crois que je ne t'aime plus.
Elle a jeté ça hier,
entre le fromage et le dessert
comme mon cadavre à la mer.

Je crois que je ne t'aime plus.
Ta peau est du papier de verre
sous mes doigts ... sous mes doigts.
Je te regarde et je pleure
juste pour rien ... comme ça.

Sans raison je pleure,
à gros bouillons je pleure,
comme devant un oignon je pleure, arrêtons…


lalala lalalalalala
Elle m'a dit
Lalala lalalalalala
Elle m'a dit

Je crois que je ne t'aime plus.
Relève toi, relève toi.
Ne te mouche pas dans ma robe,
pas cette fois ... relève toi.

Tu n'as plus d'odeur,
tes lèvres sont le marbre
de la tombe de notre amour,
elle m'a dit ça son son était froid.

Quand je fais l'amour avec toi
je pense à lui.
Quand je fais l'amour avec lui
je ne pense plus à toi

Lalala lalalalalala
Elle m'a dit
Lalala lalalalalala
Elle m'a dit

Je crois que je ne t'aime plus.
Elle m'a dit ça hier,
ça a pété dans l'air
comme un vieux coup de tonnerre.

Je crois que je ne t'aime plus.
Je te regarde et je ne vois rien.
Tes pas ne laissent plus de traces
à coté des miens.

Je ne t'en veux pas,
je ne t'en veux plus,
je n'ai juste plus d'incendie
au fond du ventre c'est comme ça

Lalala lalalalalala
Elle m'a dit
Lalala lalalalalala
Elle m'a dit
Lalala lalalalalala
Elle m'a dit
Lalala lalalalalala
Elle m'a dit

Lalala lalalalalalala
Lalala lalalalalalala

Alors j'ai éteint la télé
mais je n'ai pas trouvé le courage,
par la fenêtre de me jeter :
Mourir d'amour n'est plus de mon âge...

Lalala lalalalalalala
Elle m'a dit
Lalala lalalalalalala
Elle m'a dit
Lalala lalalalalalala

The Beatles - Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite

For the benefit of Mr. Kite

A splendid time is guaranteed for all
And tonight Mr. Kite is topping the bill.

Spoon - Chicago at Night

Spoon - Chicago at Night

Now when she went to Chicago that night she faced a wall
And she woke up outside with all those leaves in her mouth
And felt the pall
And all night the rain came on down
But then she'd never been to Chicago at night before the fall
And it don't stop not at all
It falls all around
In the city
Hits the ground

And now everybody's at disadvantage
Speaking with their second language

She'd never been there before they went and set up the wall
And though nobody'd expected much from this reinvention
She still broke right down after all
Because she knew that it was all over and we'd hit a wall
And like the fall this was all
Now it's all around
In the city
On the ground

And now everybody's at disadvantage
Speaking with their second language

And I never been to the wall
Never been to the wall
Never been to the wall
Never been to the wall
Never been to the wall
Never been to the wall
Never been to the wall

Jens Lekman - A Postcard to Nina

Jens Lekman - A Postcard to Nina

Nina I can be your boyfriend
So you can stay with your girlfriend
Your father is a sweet old man
But it is hard for him to understand
That you wanna love a woman

Nina I can be your boyfriend
If it puts an end to all this nonsense
First time I see you in Berlin
And you don't tell me anything
Until outside your dad's apartment

Oh, God! Jesus Christ!
I try to focus on your eyes
We're having dinner with your family now
Keep a steady look at your left eyebrow

If it's raised, it means yes,
If it's not it means take a guess
Hey! You! Stop kicking my legs
I'm doing my best
Can you pass the flakes?

Your father puts on my record
He says: so tell me how you met her
I get a little nervous and change the subject
And put my hand on some metal object
He jokes and tells me it's a liedetector

He takes out the booklet and starts reading
So i heard you're moving out next season
I say: Yeah, New York is nice that time of year
Almost as green as it is here
He says: I thought you were moving to Sweden?

Oh.

Oh, God, what have I done?
I came to Berlin to have some fun
And clock on the wall strikes 4:56
My eyes can't buy a big crucifix
Guess that's why he won't let you go
His catholic heart is big and slow
You know I'll do anything for love
But Nina what were you thinking of?

But Nina I can be your boyfriend
So you can stay with your girlfriend
Your father is mailing me all the time
He says he just wants to say hi
I send back "out of office, auto-replies"

Nina I just want to check in
'Cause I think about you every second
So I send you this postcard just to say
Don't let anyone stand in your way
Yours truly, Jens Lekman

Don't let anyone stand in your way
Don't let anyone stand in your way
Don't let anyone stand in your way
Don't let anyone stand in your way

Camille - Paris

Camille - Paris

Finies les balades le long du canal
les escaliers des cartes postales
c'est fini, Paris
c'est décidé, je me barre
finis le ciel gris, les matins moroses,
on dit qu'à Toulouse les briques sont roses
oh là-bas, Paris, les briques sont roses

Paris, tu paries, Paris, que je te quitte
que je change de cap, de capitale
Paris, tu paries, Paris, que je te quitte
je te plaque sur tes trottoirs sales

je connais trop ta bouche, bouche de métro
les bateaux mouche et la couleur de l'eau
c'est fini Paris, je les connais trop
ici je m'ennuie, même quand vient la nuit
on dit que Séville s'éveille à minuit
là-bas, Paris, la ville s'éveille à minuit

à Toulouse il a plu, à Séville j'ai trop bu
à Rio j'ai eu le mal du pays
oh pari perdu, je retourne vivre à Paris

The Bees - Listening Man

The Bees - Listening Man

Tell me something away from trouble and away from doubting
Tell me straight from the spirit, from the top of the mountain
Let love be the reason between me and you
As real as the morning as fresh as the dew
If fates got a hold then it's up to you
It's a simple thing we've got to do

Just a listening man
Try to understand
Just a listening man
Doing the best I can

Tell me something before I stumble and show my weakness
Tell me right on the limewire fighting for progress
I can hear there's a sound that's coming through
There's a post in the ground, so what we gonna do?
You can have all your dreams if you really believe in something that's... something true

Just a listening man
Try to understand
Just a listening man
Doing the best I can

Just a listening man
Try to understand
Just a listening man
Getting carried through this land

Tell me something without any lies that cover my feelings
Give me time now I understand these lessons have meaning
Let love be the reason between me and you
As real as the morning as fresh as the dew
If fates got a hold then it's up to you
It's a simple things we've go to do

Just a listening man
Try to understand
Just a listening man
Doing the best I can

Just a listening man
Try to understand
Just a listening man
Getting carried through this land

Just a listening man
Doing the best I can
Just a listening man

I'm a listening man
I'm a listening man
I'm a listening man
I'm a listening man

The Kinks - Do You Remember, Walter?

The Kinks - Do You Remember, Walter?

Walter, remember when the world was young
And all the girls knew Walter's name?
Walter, isn't it a shame the way our little world has changed?
Do you remember, Walter, playing cricket in the thunder and the rain?
Do you remember, Walter, smoking cigarettes behind your garden gate?
Yes, Walter was my mate,
But Walter, my old friend, where are you now?

Walter's name.
Walter, isn't it a shame the way our little world has changed?
Do you remember, Walter, how we said we'd fight the world so we'd be free.
We'd save up all our money and we'd buy a boat and sail away to sea.
But it was not to be.
I knew you then but do I know you now?

Walter, you are just an echo of a world I knew so long ago
Walter, if you saw me now you wouldn't even know my name.
I bet you're fat and married and you're always home in bed by half-past eight.
And if I talked about the old times you'd get bored and you'll have nothing more to say.
Yes people often change, but memories of people can remain.

St. Vincent - Paris Is Burning

St. Vincent - Paris Is Burning

I write to give word the war is over
Send my cinders home to mother
They gave me a medal for my valor
Leaden trumpets spit the soot of power, they say

"I'm on your side when nobody is, cause nobody is
Come sit right here and sleep while I slip poison in your ear"

We are waiting on a telegram to give us news of the fall
I am sorry to report dear Paris is burning after all
We have taken to the streets in open rejoice revolting
We are dancing a black waltz fair paris is burning after all

Oh no, oh no

Enclosed in this letter there's a picture
Black and white for your refridgerator
Sticks and stones have made me smarter
It's words that cut me under my armor, they say

"I'm on your side when nobody is, cause nobody is,
Come sit right here and sleep while I slip poison in your ear"

We are waiting on a telegram to give us news of the fall
I am sorry to report dear Paris is burning after all
We have taken to the streets in open rejoice revolting
We are dancing a black waltz fair paris is burning after all

Oh no, oh no

Dance poor people dance and drown
Dance fair Paris to the ground
Dance poor people dance and drown
Dance fair Paris ashes now

Dance poor people dance and drown
Dance fair Paris to the ground
Dance poor people dance and drown
Dance fair Paris ashes now

Dance poor people dance and drown
Dance fair Paris to the ground
Dance poor people dance and drown
Dance fair Paris ashes now

Rufus Wainwright - Matinee Idol

Rufus Wainwright - Matinee Idol

This is the day
The day of the death
The death of the matinee idol

Still so beautiful as the angels
as the angels came down from on high
So sweet and so soft
So charmingly daft
So young was the matinee idol
Lips of crimson slightly open
As the flash and all fame put to rest

Walk, walk along that wall
No it is not from the academy
Walk, walk along that wall

From this moment on you'll cease to be
The undying love of the public eye
And so goes one more
Away from the maze
Away for to sit at the table
Above Babel, far from this world
While standing on the boulevard

But still, whomever has looked at
Looked at beauty is marked out
Is marked out already by death
Still so beautiful as the angels
As the angels came down from on high

The Supremes - Baby Love

The Supremes - Baby Love

Ooh baby love, my baby love
I need you, oh how I need you
But all you do is treat me bad
Break my heart and leave me sad
Tell me, what did I do wrong
To make you stay away so long

'Cause baby love, my baby love
Been missing ya, miss kissing ya
Instead of breaking up
Let's do some kissing and making up
Don't throw our love away
In my arms why don't you stay
Need ya, need ya
Baby love, ooh, baby love

Baby love, my baby love
Why must we seperate, my love
All of my whole life through
I never loved no one but you
Why you do me like you do
I get this need

Ooh, ooh, need to hold you
Once again, my love
Feel your warm embrace, my love
Don't throw our love away

Please don't do me this way
Not happy like I used to be
Loneliness has got the best of me
My love, my baby love

I need you, oh how I need you
Why you do me like you do
After I've been true to you
So deep in love with you

Baby, baby, ooh 'til it's hurtin' me
'Til it's hurtin' me
Ooh, baby love
Don't throw our love away
Don't throw our love away

Roxy Music - Love Is the Drug

Roxy Music - Love Is the Drug
Architecture in Helsinki - Love Is the Drug [Live]

T'ain't no big thing
To wait for the bell to ring
T'ain't no big thing
The toll of the bell

Aggravated - spare for days
I troll downtown the red light place
Jump up bubble up - what's in store
Love is the drug and I need to score
Showing out, showing out, hit and run
Boy meets girl where the beat goes on
Stitched up tight, can't shake free
Love is the drug, got a hook on me

Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug i'm thinking of
Oh oh can't you see
Love is the drug for me

Ooh-oh
Ooh-oh

Late that night I park my car
Stake my place in the singles bar
Face to face, toe to toe
Heart to heart as we hit the floor
Lumber up, limbo down
The locked embrace, the stumble round
I say go, she say yes
Dim the lights, you can guess the rest

Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug i'm thinking of
Oh oh can't you see
Love is the drug, got a hook in me
Oh oh get that buzz
Love is the drug i'm thinking of
Oh oh can't you see
Love is the drug for me

Ooh-oh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh
Ooh-oh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh, ooh

Ooh-oh, ooh-oh
Love is, love is, love is the drug

John Lennon - Woman

John Lennon - Woman

Woman I can hardly express,
My mixed emotions at my thoughtlessness,
After all I'm forever in your debt,
And woman I will try to express,
My inner feelings and thankfullness,
For showing me the meaning of success,
Oooh, well well, doo doo doo, doo doo,
Oooh, well well, doo doo doo, doo doo...

The little child inside the man,
Please remember my life is in your hands,
And woman hold me close to your heart,
However distant don't keep us apart,
After all it is written in the stars,
Oooh, well well, doo doo doo, doo doo,
Oooh, well well, doo doo doo, doo doo,
Well...

Centro-Matic - Don't Talk (Put Your Head on My Shoulder)

Centro-Matic - Don't Talk (Put Your Head on My Shoulder)

I can hear so much in your sighs
And i can see so much in your eyes
There are words we both could say

But don't talk, put your head on my shoulder
Come close, close your eyes and be still
Don't talk, take my hand and let me hear your heartbeat

Being here with you feels so right
We could live forever tonight
Let's not think about tomorrow

And don't talk, put your head on my shoulder
Come close, close your eyes and be still
Don't talk, take my hand and listen to my heartbeat
Listen, listen, listen.

Don't talk, put your head on my shoulder
Don't talk, close your eyes and be still
Don't talk, put your head on my shoulder
Don't talk, close your eyes and be still

Paul McCartney - Mister Bellamy

Paul McCartney - Mister Bellamy

I'm not coming down
No matter what you do
I like it up here
Without you

All right Mr. Bellamy
We'll have you down soon

No one to tell me what to do
No one to hold my hand
Bellamy's got a lot to do
And I hope that you'll understand

Nobody here to spoil the view
Interfere with my plans
Bellamy's got a job to do
And he's hoping you'll understand

Steady lads
Easy does it
Don't frighten him
Here we go

I'm not coming down
No matter what you say
I like it up here
Anyway

Sit tight Mr. Bellamy
This shouldn't take long

In a delusionary state
No wonder he's been feeling strange of late

Nobody here to spoil the view
Interfere with my plans
Bellamy's got a job to do
And he's hoping you'll understand

Steady lads
Easy does it
Don't frighten him
Here we go
Here we go

I'm not coming down
No matter what you do
I like it up here
Without you

Come come, come come, come down to me
Come come, come

Come come, come down, come back to me
Come down

Come come, come down, come back to me
Come down

Come come, come down, come back to me
Come down

The Coral - Who's Gonna Find Me

The Coral - Who's Gonna Find Me

It's six in the morning
And there's no one else around
The mist has fallen
As i look out on the town

It's playing on my mind
Wasting all my time, away

It's too close for tears
And it's too hard to forget
It's too close for tears
I think i thought i said

It's playing on my mind
Wasting all my time, away

Who's gonna find me?
Tell me where i can go?
Who's gonna find me, searching, alone.

The face in the mirror
It's a face i've never met
Until i forgive her i'll remember to forget

It's playing on my mind
Wasting all my time, away

Who's gonna find me?
Tell me where i can go?
Who's gonna find me, searching, alone.

And the hours, they build
From underneath the spell, once again

It's six in the evening
And i'm sweeping up the day
The people beneath them
But i am here to stay

It's playing on my mind
Wasting all my time, away

Who's gonna find me?
Tell me where i can go?
Who's gonna find me, searching, alone.

It's playing on my mind
Wasting all my time, away

Ocean Colour Scene - The Day We Caught the Train

Ocean Colour Scene - The Day We Caught the Train

I never saw it as the start
It's more a change of heart
Rapping on the windows, whistling down the chimney pots
Blowing off the dust in the room where i forgot
I laid my plans in solid rock

Stepping through the door like a troubadour whiling just an hour away
Looking at the trees on the roadside feeling it's a holiday

You and i should ride the coast
And wind up in our favourite coats just miles away
Roll a number, write another song like
Jimmy heard the day he caught the train

Oo-oh, la la
Oo-oh, la la
Oo-oh, la la
Oo-oh, laaa

He sipped another rum and coke and told a dirty joke
Walking like Groucho sucking on a number 10
Rolling on the floor with the cigarette burns walked in
I miss the crush and i'm home again
Stepping through the door with the night in store whiling just an hour away,
Stepping through the sky and the star-bright feeling it's a brighter day

You and i should ride the coast
And wind up in our favourite coats just miles away
Roll a number, write another song like
Jimmy heard the day he caught the train

Oo-oh, la la
Oo-oh, la la
Oo-oh, la la
Oo-oh, laaa

You and i should ride the tracks
And find ourselves just wading through tomorrow
But you and i when we're coming down
We're only getting back
You know i feel the sorrow

Oo-oh, la la
Oo-oh, la la
Oo-oh, la la
Oo-oh, laaa

When you find that things are getting wild
Don't you want days like these...
When you find that things are getting wild
Don't you want days like these...
When you find that things are getting wild
Don't you need days like these...
When you find that things are getting wild
Don't you want days like these...

Oo-oh, la la
Oo-oh, la la

Sondre Lerche - John, Let Me Go

Sondre Lerche - John, Let Me Go

Do you have enough to fill a page?
Is there something I should read,
Amplifiers broke the news today,
I was whispering the details

When the world came in
I've seen it before
Wearing shimmering clothes

Is the world worth it's spending?
Is that world worth one defending it?

How should I know?
When the phone attacks with numbers I don't trust

John, let me go!
I can't conjugate myself
If investigation fails
I'm on my own

When the coward sits alone again
When you've spent your feathers up
Making sense is made impossible
Making you detect my aim - uh?

When I'm answering
I've seen this before
You are changing things

In a world full of sorrow
Only fools with narrow minds can join

How could I know?
The calls I make've numbers I don't trust

John, let me go!
I can't conjugate myself
If investigation fails
My head will roll

How should I know?
I can't conjugate myself
If investigation fails
I'm on my own

John, let me go!
John, let me go!
John, let me go!
John, let me go!

Oh...

The Beatles - There's a Place

The Beatles - There's a Place

There is a place,
Where I can go,
When I feel low,
When I feel blue.
And it's my mind,
And there's no time when I'm alone.

I think of you,
And things you do,
Go 'round my head,
The things you said,
Like "I love only you."

In my mind there's no sorrow,
Don't you know that it's so.
There'll be no sad tomorrow,
Don't you know that it's so.

There is a place,
Where I can go,
When I feel low,
When I feel blue.
And it's my mind,
And there's no time when I'm alone.

There's a place...

The Coral - Dreaming of You

The Coral - Dreaming of You

What's up with my heart when it skips a beat (skips a beat)
Can't feel no pavement right under my feet (under my feet)

Up in my lonely room
When I'm dreaming of you
Oh what can I do (wah oooo)
I still need you, but
I don't want you now

When I'm down and my hands are tied (hands are tied)
I cannot reach a pen for me to draw the line (draw the line)
From this pain I just can't disguise (can't disguise)
Its gonna hurt but I'll have to say goodbye (say goodbye)

Up in my lonely room
When I'm dreaming of you
Oh what can I do (wah oooo)
I still need you, but
I dont want you now

Oh yeah

Ohhh Ohhhhh

Up in my lonely room
When I'm dreaming of you
Oh what can I do (wah oooo)
I still need you, but
I dont want you now

Jamie Lidell - Multiply

Jamie Lidell - Multiply

Well, sure it never used to be, so hard, this hard
Used to get those kicks for free,
But now I’m throwing the line.
Oh, this ain’t no way to be
Stuck between my shadow and me
Could appear the sun don’t shine, babe
Although I tell you that I’m doing fine

Oh I’m so tired of beating myself, beating myself up
Gonna take a trip and multiply
At least go under with a smile
Oh I’m so tired of beating myself, beating myself up
Gonna take a trip and multiply
At least go under with a smile

Oowee, sure I never used to be
in trouble, so much trouble
Love is just a shackle I see, going out of my mind,
Oh, this ain’t no way to be
Stuck between my shadow and me
Sun’s going down, it’s getting dark in here
Still folks say I’ve got nothing to fear.

I’m so tired of beating myself, beating myself up
Gonna take a trip and multiply
At least go under with a smile
Oh I’m so tired of beating myself, beating myself up
Gonna take a trip and multiply
At least go under with a smile

People on the street, there are many many
People on the moon, there ain’t any any, shed, hey hey, oho
Calling down the same old hope
Taking it down ‘cause I got no control

I’m so tired, so tired, so tired, so tired,
so tired, so tired, so tired, so tired,
so tired, so tired, so tired, so tired
So tired sohohohohoho tired

Oh I’m so tired of beating myself, beating myself up
Gonna take a trip and multiply
At least go under with a smile
Oh I’m so tired of beating myself, beating myself up
Gonna take a trip and multiply
At least go under with a smile

Supergrass - Moving

Supergrass - Moving

Moving, just keep moving,
Till I don't know what's sane,
I've been moving so long,
The days all feel the same,

Moving, just keep moving,
Well I don't know why to stay,
No ties to bind me,
No reasons to remain,

Got a low, low feeling around me,
And a stone cold feeling inside,
And I just can't stop messing my mind up,
Or wasting my time,

There's a mow, low feeling around me,
And a stone cold feeling inside,
I've got to find somebody to help me,
I keep you in mind,

So I'll keep moving, just keep moving,
Well I don't know who I am,
No need to follow,
There's no way back again,

Moving, keep on moving,
Where I feel I'm home again,
And when it's over,
I'll see you again,

Got a low, low feeling around me,
And a stone cold feeling inside,
And I just can't stop messing my mind up,
Or wasting my time,

There's a mow, low feeling around me,
And a stone cold feeling inside,
I've got to find somebody to help me,
I keep you in mind

Ride - In a Different Place

Ride - In a Different Place

Blowing bubbles, lying down,
Waiting for the rain to fall.
Laughing at the people,
Wonder why they always rush, never slow down.

And we're smiling, when we're sleeping,
And we're smiling, when we're waking.

Even if the rain falls down, and all the sky turns cold,
I will feel fine.
Thunder roared and lightning flashed,
But you and I are in a different time.

Floating in and out of time,
In and out of space.
No-one can touch us,
We're in a different space.

Coralie Clément - Indécise

Coralie Clément - Indécise

Peut-être oui, peut-être non
Ca m'est égal de toute façon
À gauche, à droite, ça, je n'sais pas
De haut en bas, oui, pourquoi pas
Un jour où l'autre, on verra bien.
Toujours remettre au lendemain
Ce que je peux faire ce matin
Je ne sais pas me prendre en main...

J'ai pas d'avis sur la question,
Je me fous des "qu'en dira t-on?"
En général, ça m'est égal,
Je ne prends pas de décision,
Je n'ai jamais changé de ton,
En général ça m'est égal.

Les compromis, c'est difficile,
Changer d'avis, c'est plus facile
C'est bien ou mal d'être indécise?
C'est bien normal de lâcher prise,
Le temps sur moi n'a pas d'emprise...

Je ne me fais pas d'illusion,
Je n'ai jamais fait sensation,
En général, ça m'est égal,
Je n'ai jamais rien fait de bon
Mais je n'ai pas de solution
En général, ça m'est égal.

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears
And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair
I hear the sound of a gentle word
On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air

Close my eyes
She's somehow closer now
Softly smile, I know she must be kind
When I look into her eyes
She goes with me to a blossom world

I'm pickin' up good vibrations
She's giving me excitations

R.E.M. - At My Most Beautiful

R.E.M. - At My Most Beautiful

i've found a way to make you
i've found a way
a way to make you smile

i read bad poetry
into your machine
i save your messages
just to hear your voice.
you always listen carefully
to awkwards rhymes.
you always say your name.
like i wouldn't know it's you,
at your most beautiful.

i've found a way to make you
i've found a way
a way to make you smile

at my most beautiful
i count your eyelashes, secretly.
with every one, whisper i love you.
i let you sleep.
i know you're closed eye watching me,
listening.
i thought i saw a smile.

i've found a way to make you
i've found a way
a way to make you smile

Rufus Wainwright - Between My Legs

Rufus Wainwright - Between My Legs

You can go out, dancing
And I'll write about you, dancing without you
And I'll shed a tear between my legs

When you were here, I missed you
Now that you're away, I'm out there without you
And I shed a tear between my legs

Though we live in the same city,
You live in another state far away from me and all of my unfaded charms
But when the rocket ships all fall, and the bridges, they all buckle
And everybody's packing up their station wagons
There's a number you can call, like a breast that you can suckle
And we quietly will exit as it all is happening

Again, I'm afraid of one thing,
Will I walk away from love knowing nothing, wearing my heart between my legs?
But when I know you're naked, lying on the bed while I'm at the piano
All I can say is I can't fake it

When the rocket ships all fall, and the bridges, they all buckle
And everybody's packing up their station wagons
There's a number you can call, like a breast that you can suckle
And we quietly will exit as it all is happening again
'Cause there's a river running underground, underneath the town towards the sea,
That only I know all about
On which from this city we can flee
On which from this city we can flee

Locomondo - Liubi, Liubi, I Love You

Locomondo - Liubi, Liubi, I Love You

Everywhere around the world, "I love you", it means the same
Every day and every night only you can touch my flame
So take my heart, take my soul, everything of me
Everywhere you go, my baby, even Italy

Non devi essere speciale, "io ti amo" è sempre uguale
Lo puoi dire come vuoi, sei da solo, con i tuoi (Guagliò)
E qui non esistono frontiere, l'amore non ha barriere
In città o in campagna, lo stesso in Spagna (Señorita)

Por todo el mundo, "te quiero" es lo mismo
Cada día y cada noche solo tú me das amor (¡Arriba!)
Aquí está mi sol, te lo doy, todo lo que soy
Si te vas, te buscaré en Rusia se (Locomondo)

Где-то там, кто-то там, тебя любит, не забудь
Скажи да любимая, люби, люби ты меня
Где бы ты не находилась, где б не побывала
Буду ждать, любимая, сегодня и всегда

Mademoiselle, partout au monde, un "je t'aime", c'est la même chose
Chaque jour, chaque nuit, toi, tu reste ma seule rose
Prends mon coeur, prends mon âme, ma vie, ma chérie (Vas-y)
Appelle-moi où que tu sois, même en Roumanie (Yo)

Undeva cineva te iubeste, nu uita
Spune da, iubita mea, stii cum e cu dragostea
Oriunde ai fi, oricat ai sta, te voi astepta
Inima spune ea, aicï e casa ta

Everywhere around the world, "io ti amo" è sempre uguale
Cada dia y cada noche, люби, люби ты меня
Prends mon coeur, prends mon âme, ma vie, ma chérie
Inima spune ea, aicï e casa ta (Ho... hey, hey)

Everywhere around the world, "io ti amo" è sempre uguale (Hey)
Cada dia y cada noche, люби, люби ты меня (Hey)
Prends mon coeur, prends mon âme, ma vie, ma chérie (Hey)
Inima spune ea, aicï e casa ta (Hey)

¡Ole! ¡Arriba! (Hey)
Locomondo (Hey)
Everybody, viva l'amore (Hey)
Sing with me baby, ?? (Hey)

Belle and Sebastian - Funny Little Frog

Belle and Sebastian - Funny Little Frog

Honey, lovin' you is the greatest thing,
I get to be myself and I get to sing,
I get to play at being irresponsible,
I come home late and love your soul,
I never forget you in my prayers,
I never have a bad thing to report.

You're my picture on the wall,
You're my vision in the hall,
You're the one I'm talking to,
When I get in from my work,
You are my girl, and you don't even know it,
I am living out the life of a poet,
I am the jester in the ancient court,
And you're the funny little frog in my throat.

My eye sight's fading, my hearing's dim,
I can't get insured for the state I'm in,
I'm a danger to myself I've been starting fights,
At the party at the club on a Saturday night,
But I don't get disapproving from my girl,
She gets all the highlights wrapped in pearls.

You're my picture on the wall,
You're my vision in the hall,
You're the one I'm talking to,
When I get in from my work,
You are my girl, and you don't even know it,
I am living out the life of a poet,
I am the jester in the ancient court,
And you're the funny little frog in my throat.

I had a conversation with you at night,
It's a little one sided but that's all right,
I tell you in the kitchen about my day,
You sit on the bed in the dark changing places,
With the ghost that was there before you came,
You've come to save my life again.

I don't dare to touch your hand,
I don't dare to think of you,
In a physical way,
And I don't know how you smell,
You are the cover of my magazine,
You're my fashion tip, a living museum,
I'd pay to visit you on rainy Sundays,
And maybe tell you all about it, someday.

The Indelicates - New Art for the People

The Indelicates - New Art for the People

But for the cum in your hair,
The cocaine on your teeth
You'd be just like the girls
That I kissed on the heath
Your mother left and you're all alone
And the world is at your feet
You smell like ash, mildew and hash
Can barely even speak
And it's so sad that you're so sad and you're so bad for me
I followed your perfume as you ran down the street
I caught you and held you and pushed back your fringe and swore undying loyalty
We'll make a new art for the people,
A new art for the people
A new art for the people
you and me.

I followed you home
Knocked at your door
Offered myself in the kitchen
Passed out on the floor
And when you shout, I get terrified
And then I love you more
You sound middle class, but I'll let it pass,
I don't understand you at all
And it's so sad that you're so sad and you're so bad for me
I swallowed my pride with a pill and decided to give you back your key
You caught me and held me and I took your hand and swore undying loyalty
We'll make a new art for the people,
A new art for the people
A new art for the people
you and me.

Under the covers forever
Everything well within reach
A small price to pay for our freedom
And for our celebrity
Such ornaments and gorgeous things
Like string lights at the beach
Intensive care and conditioned air
And our faces on TV
And it's so sad but they're so glad that you're so bad for me
The dark days ahead and the blood on the bed and the cover of the NME
They gave us a cheque and took us by our necks and swore undying loyalty
We'll make a new art for the people,
A new art for the people
A new art for the people
you and me.

Ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da
It's in
Your eyes
And the way you move
You got music in your step
A kind
Of glow
Like you walk with the heat turned up
So brightly above

Suddenly I see
I go ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da
Everytime you walk in the room
No escape for me
I go ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da
Everytime you're close to me

If I could just
Compose myself
I'd radiate just the right amount of cool and heat
So you'd never know
How I tremble to touch you

Suddenly I see
I go ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da
Everytime you walk in the room
No escape for me
I go ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da
Everytime you're close to me

Suddenly I see
I go ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da
Everytime you walk in the room

Everytime you're close to me

Page France - Trampoline

Page France - Trampoline

Hey, hey, hey, you on the trampoline
Trying to see everything
Hey, hey, hey, sweet little Cherubin
Where has your papa been?
You've got the keys to his chariot

And I bet it looks hilarious
To watch it drag the terriers
And all the bugs that fair the earth
Through all the dams and barriers
Turn the vessel upside down
Turn the vessel upside down
Let us swim or let us drown
I am lost but I have found

Burn right through my palms
You burn right through my palms

Hey, hey, hey, you on the trampoline
Up above everything
Hey, hey, hey, sweet little Cherubin
Wanting to be let in
Be careful what you ask for

Because it burns right up your walls
It burns right up your walls

And I bet it looks hilarious
To watch it drag the terriers
And all the bugs that fair the earth
Through all the dams and barriers
Turn the vessel upside down
Turn the vessel upside down
Let us swim or let us drown
I am lost but I have found

Burn right down my walls
You burn right down my walls
You burn right down my walls
You burn right down my walls

The Arcade Fire - Intervention

The Arcade Fire - Intervention

Keys taken back I throw
The people they all grow
And choose what they want written on their stone
All quiet and alone

You can taste the fear
Lift me up and take me out of here
I know I want to fight I want to die
Just tell me what to say

Working for the church while your family dies
Little baby sister gonna lose her mind
Every spark of friendship and love will die without a hope

Hear the soldiers groan
All quiet and alone

There’s something in the air
The people they all sit and stare
And tell me what they point to tell me where
And tell me…

Who’s gonna throw the very first stone?
Whose gonna re-set the bone?
Sitting with his head in a sling
I hear the soldier sing

Working for the church while your family dies
Little baby sister gonna lose her mind
Every spark of friendship and love will die without a hope

Hear the soldiers groan
All quiet and alone

Sunshine light
Someone teach me how to fly
And onto something for wish I would die, but I just don’t know what
Though I can taste the fear
Lift me up and take me out of here
And make it all concisely clear
You know I’m gonna fade

Working for the church while your family dies
Little baby sister gonna lose her mind
Every spark of friendship and love will die without a hope

Hear the soldiers groan
All quiet and alone
Hear the soldiers groan
All quiet and alone

Dionysos - Anorak

Dionysos - Anorak

Elle dansait dans son petit anorak
Mini Goldorak érotique et je lui lançais des glaçons
A travers les nuages pour qu'il neige
Et pour qu'on s'anorakissime à plat ventre sur la luge
Et pour qu'on trinque avec les murs pour qu'elle se marre
Danse dans ton anorak...
Et puis la neige s'est mise à tomber
Comme si toutes les gouttes de pluie
Avaient décidé de s'habiller en robe de mariée
C'est comme si dieu s'était décidé à croquer dans un sandwich
En porcelaine et qu'il en dispersait les miettes parmi nous
Danse dans ton anorak...
On regardait tout ça tomber au beau milieu de la route
D'un coup deux phares ont fendu le brouillard
Pour faire danser ton petit anorak
Pour la dernière fois.
Danse dans ton anorak

Yoko Ono - Nobody Sees Me Like You Do (feat. The Apples in Stereo)

Yoko Ono - Nobody Sees Me Like You Do (feat. The Apples in Stereo)

I see your face looking into the space,
All tired and worried.
Why does it have to be like this, you and i,
I wanted us to be happy.

No one can see me like you do.
No one can see you like I do.

I see your face with a trace of life,
Being a wife and a woman.
If I ever hurt you, please, remember,
I wanted you to be happy.

Is there anything I want more,
More than your trust and understanding?

No one can see me like you do.
No one can se you like I do.

I wanna quit moving,
I wanna quit running,
I wanna relax and be tender.
I wanna see us together again,
Rocking away in our walnut chairs.

Even with your warmth and closeness,
The feeling of loneliness hangs over like a curse.

No one can see me like you do.
No one can se you like I do.

Even with our dreams and yearnings,
The feeling of loneliness hangs over like a thirst.

No one can see me like you do.
No one can see you like I do.

No one can see me like you do.
No one can see you like I do.

Simon and Garfunkel - Sound of Silence

Simon and Garfunkel - Sound of Silence

Hello darkness, my old friend,
Ive come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
A neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one deared
Disturb the sound of silence.

Fools said i,you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you.
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said, the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And whisperd in the sounds of silence.

Love - Andmoreagain

Love - Andmoreagain

And if you'll see andmoreagain
Then you will know andmoreagain
For you can see you in her eyes
Then you feel your heart beating
Thrum-pum-pum-pum

And when you've given all you had
And everything still turns out
Bad, and all your secrets are your own
Then you feel your heart beating
Thrum-pum-pum-pum

And I'm
Wrapped in my armor
But my things are material
And I'm
Lost in confusions
'Cause my things are material

And you don't know how much
I love you
Oh, oh, oh...

And if you'll see Andmoreagain
Then you might be Andmoreagain
For you just wish and you are here
Then you feel your heart beating
Thrum-pum-pum-pum

The Ditty Bops - Sister Kate



If I could shake it like my sister Kate
Shake it like a bowl of jelly on a plate
My momma wanted to know last night
How sister Kate could do it oh so nice
Now all the boys in the neighborhood
Katie could shimmy ass mighty good
Now it may be late but I'll be up to date
When I can shimmy like my sister Kate
Oh yeah, shake it like my sister Kate

If I could shimmy like my sister Kate
I'd never stay home, stay out too late
I'd get myself about as high as a kite
You know I'd do it for you every night
Now all the boys in the neighborhood
Katie could shimmy ass mighty good
Now I may be late but I'll be up to date
When I can shimmy like my sister Kate
Oh yeah, shake it like my sister Kate

If I could shake it like my sister Kate
Shake it like a bowl of jelly on a plate
My momma wanted to know last night
How sister Kate could do it oh so nice
Now all the boys in the neighborhood
Katie could shimmy ass mighty good
Now it may be late but I'll be up to date
When I can shimmy like my sister Kate
Oh yeah, shake it like my sister Kate
That's right
Shimmy like my sister Kate

Mika - Grace Kelly



( - I wanna talk to you.
- The last time we talked Mr Smiths, you reduced me to tears. I promise it won't happen again
.)*

Do I attract you
Do I repulse you with my queasy smile
Am I too dirty
Am I too flirty
Do I like what you like

I could be wholesome
I could be loathsome
I guess I'm a little bit shy
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like me without making me try

I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I try a little Freddie
I've gone identity mad

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like me
Why don't you walk out the door

( - Getting angry doesn't solve anything.)

How can I help it
How can I help it
How can I help what you think?
Hello my baby
Hello my baby
Putting my life on the brink
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like yourself
Should I bend over
Should I look older just to be put on your shelf

I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I try a little Freddie
I've gone identity mad

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like me
Walk out the door

Say what you want to satisfy yourself
But you only want what everybody else says you should want

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like me
Walk out the door

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like me
Walk out the door

( - xxx, we're leaving.)**



* Are these right? I've typed as i hear.
** I don't get what she says. If you do, please let me know.
*** Mika, i guess i've fallen in love with you.

Rufus Wainwright - The One You Love



The mind has so many pictures
Why can't I sleep with my eyes open
The mind has so many memories
Can you remember what it looks like when I cry

I'm trying, trying to tell you
All that I can in a sweet and velvet tongue
But no words ever could sell you
Sell you on me after all that I have done

I'm only the one you love
Am I only the one you love?

The Lady Gloom and her hornets circling round
Is now before us, the screaming's done without moving
One little move and for sure you will be stung

I'm singing "Oh, Jerusalem oh, Jerusalem
See what he's picked up in the park"
Let's fuck this awful art party
Want you to make love to me and only to me in the dark

I'm only the one you love
Am I only the one you love?

We've traded in our snap shots
We're going through the motions
Into the view, I'm leaving you
Down Conduit Avenue into the early morning
Into the early morning
The one I love
Are you only the one I love?

Sean Lennon - Parachute



love is like an aero plane
you jump and then you pray
the lucky ones remain
in the clouds for days
if life is just a stage
let's put on the best show
and let everyone know

cause if i have to die tonight
i'd rather be with you
cut the parachute before the dive
baby don't you cry
you have to bring me down
we had some fun before we hit the ground

love is like a hurricane
you know it's on the way
you think you can be brave
underneath the waves
if life is just a dream
which of us is dreaming
and who will wake up screaming

cause if i have to die tonight
i'd rather be with you
cut the parachute before the dive
baby don't you cry
you have to bring me down
we had some fun before we hit the ground

cause if i have to die tonight
i'd rather be with you
cut the parachute before the dive
baby don't you cry
you have to bring me down
we had some fun before we hit the ground

cause if i have to die tonight
i'd rather it was you
cut the parachute before the dive
baby don't you cry
you have to bring me down
we had some fun before we hit the ground

Koop - I See a Different You



So we are astray
There's nothing else to do
In another place
I see a different you

'Cause we
We left and lost again
I'll never love again

Oh, baby now we are apart
There's nothing we can do
In a different place
I see another you
And in another place
I see a different you

So we are astray
There's nothing else to do
In another place
I see a different you

'Cause we
We left and lost again
I'll never love again

Oh, baby, now we are apart
There's nothing we can do
In a different place
I see another you
And in another place
I see a different you

Oh, we left and we lost
I'll never love again

Love - Maybe the People Would Be the Times or Between Clark and Hilldale



What is happening and how have you been
Gotta go but I'll see you again
And oh, the music is so loud
And then I fade into the

Crowds of people standing everywhere
'Cross the street I'm at this laugh affair
And here they always play my songs
And me, I wonder if it's

Wrong or right they come here just the same
Telling everyone about their games
And if you think it obsolete
Then you go back across the street
Yeah, street, hey hey

When I leave now don't you weep for me
I'll be back, just save a seat for me
But if you just can't make the room
Look up and see me on the

Moon's a common scene around my town
Yeah where everyone is painted brown
And if we do get stuck away
Let's go paint everybody gray
Yeah, gray, yeah

The Beatles - Happiness Is a Warm Gun



She's not a girl who misses much
Do do do do do do- oh yeah!
She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
Like a lizard on a window pane

The man in the crowd with the multicoloured mirrors
On his hobnail boots
Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy
Working overtime
A soap impression of his wife which he ate
And donated to the National Trust

I need a fix 'cause I'm going down
Down to the bits that I left uptown
I need a fix cause I'm going down
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun

Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun, momma
When I hold you in my arms
And I feel my finger on your trigger
I know nobody can do me no harm
Because happiness is a warm gun, momma
Happiness is a warm gun
-Yes it is.
Happiness is a warm, yes it is
Gun!
Well don't ya know that happiness is a warm gun, momma?

Ms. John Soda - Go Check



I feel I walk
My body lies
I am lying here with you in my bed

I'm not asleep
But do not show
Though you know it, you don't want me to go

So go check that I'm on fire
And go check that I'm alive
Go check that I'm on fire
And go check that I'm alive

We're side by side
Our heads unmoved
And though you're talking but I don't hear what you say
You're watching me
But do not show
All I know is, that I just want you to

Go check that I'm on fire
And go check that I'm alive
Go check that I'm on fire
And go check that I'm alive

Déportivo - Sur le Moment



Je ne construirai pas sur la peur
On verra bien sur le moment
Comment se comportent les douleurs
Faut qu’on s’en aille en sifflotant
Un air de fête, un vieil air de changement
Les fruits pourris en en-tête
Tous consumés jusqu’aux chaussettes
Allez
Allez

Moi je laisse mes ongles dans les portières
Et mes cancers en rentrant
J’oublie même de quoi j’ai l’air
Vous dire ici comme c’est marrant
De perdre en fait la mémoire en sortant
Les fruits pourris en en-tête
Tous consumés jusqu’aux chaussettes
Allez
Allez

Elevés à la fronde
