Shearwater - Seventy-four, Seventy-five



Seventy-four, Seventy-five
He's getting used to it now,
how each one falls away in that hoary light
and they are gone, gone from the age,
gone from the guards and their hands
It's no different today than in years gone by

And he won't come out alive,
with his hands so thin and white

Gone, gone from the page,
and then he is gone from your eyes,
as that splintering wave takes so many lives
And now your hands are gripping the edge
of such a waste, where every angel looks dead
every face a lie

And you won't come out tonight,
with your hands so thin and white, alive

Seventy-four, seventy-five,
Daddy, come back to me now–
I would beat them away
I would lift you out
I would wash all the cinders from your eyes
And with silver and gold
I would adorn you
I'll let it all come out tonight
when they pull me out alive
Alive

The Czars - Little Pink House



Lilacs and tiger-lilies
Won't be enough for me when you're gone
Hollyhocks, gladiolas
Could never replace your face

In your little pink house
With the blue polka-dots
I learned what I was
And what I was not
Supposed to be
Supposed to be
Supposed to be
Supposed to be

Bleeding heart, lily-of-the-valley
Snapdragon, rambling rose
You'll never make it in this world
If you're not one of those

In your little pink house
With the blue polka-dots
I learned what I was
And what I was not
Supposed to be
Supposed to be
Supposed to be
Supposed to be

Diadem, orange sensation
Diorama, bell canto
Baby-Lune, and princess too
But you were the one I chose

In your little pink house
With the blue polka-dots
I learned what I was
And what I was not
Supposed to be
Supposed to be
Supposed to be
Supposed to be

Junior Boys - Birthday



You called and then you missed my birthday
You've gone and left me on my own
I'm home, don't stay, it's cool anyway
It's not so bad to stay at home

Is it true that it's me?
You can say all the things you want to
But you don't need to leave if you take all this weight behind me
Let it go
Now it's you
You forget all the things you want to
You're not here in the end
You have nothing left to say

I guess it passed me on my birthday
You slept right through the year I've grown
And now I can't remember anyway
I need to wash my hands real slow

Is it true that it's me?
You can say all the things you want to
But you don't need to leave if you take all this weight behind me
Let it go
Now it's you
You forget all the things you want to
You're not here in the end
So there's nothing left to say

You called and then you missed my birthday
I know we'd do it all again
This time I close my eyes and really wish you'd come

Is it true that it's me?
You can say all the things you want to
But you don't need to leave if you take all this weight behind me
Let it go
Now it's you
You forget all the things you want to
You're not here in the end
So there's nothing left to say

The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army



I'm gonna fight 'em all
A nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back

And I'm talking to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette
And the message coming from my eyes
Says leave it alone

Don't want to hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell

And if I catch it coming back my way
I'm gonna serve it to you
And that aint what you want to hear
But thats what I'll do
And the feeling coming from my bones
Says find a home

I'm going to Wichita
Far from this opera for evermore
I'm gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding
Right before the lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me
And I will sing no more
And the stains coming from my blood
Tell me go back home

Placebo - Teenage Angst



Shine the headlight, straight into my eyes.
Like the roadkill, I'm paralysed.
You see through my disguise

At the drive-in, double feature,
pull the lever, break the fever
and say your last goodbyes.

Since I was born I started to decay.
Now nothing ever ever goes my way

One fluid gesture, like stepping back in time.
Trapped in amber, petrified.
I'm still not satisfied

Airs and social graces, elocution so divine.
I'll stick to my needle, and my favourite waste of time,
both spineless and sublime.

Since I was born I started to decay.
Now nothing ever - ever goes my way.

Camille - Les Ex



Tu m'exaspères avec tes ex
Avec tes ex à deux vitesses
Et j'expurgeais ton agenda
Il ne resterait plus que moi
Mais toi tu revois sans complexe
Ces ex que j'exècre et tu me dis
Tout excité y'a plus aucune ambiguïté

Mais je sais je sais je sais que les ex
c'est sexe et sexy
Je sais je sais je sais que les ex
c'est sexe et sexy

Les ex c'est comme les expresso
Ca se boit vite ça se boit chaud
C'est pas comme l'amour impossible
Les ex c'est toujours accessible
Ca laisse penser d'un coup de latex
Un coup de fil et un duplex
Et plus besoin d'un mode d'emploi
On a déjà fait ça X fois

Tu m'exaspères avec tes ex
Avec tes ex à deux vitesse
Ca te vexe si je t'expulse
Si notre PACS devient pex
Si je t'exile te catapulte
Vers d'autres galaxies
Où les ex c'est permis
En plus je sais que ça t'excite
D'avoir une extra ex
Sur ta liste

I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness - We're Still the Weaker Sex



There's no reason to stay
And there's nothing to say
It's been over, we've been through
For so long, for so long

And I don't understand
Why you take it so
So hard
So hard

It's the last
We won't change
It's self abuse
To stay the same

I can't figure out
Why you take so much
So much time
So much time

It's the last
We won't change
It's self abuse
To stay the same

I can't figure out
Why you take it so
So far
So far

You wear your heart on your sleeve
(You wear your heart on your sleeve)
You don't want to believe
You wear your heart on your sleeve
(You wear your heart on your sleeve)
You don't want to believe
You wear your heart on your sleeve
(You wear your heart on your sleeve)
You don't want to believe

It's the last
We won't change
It's self abuse
To stay the same

And I don't understand
Why you take it so
So hard
So hard

It's the last
We won't change
We won't change
We won't change

The Magic Numbers - Love Me Like You



Don't let your white dress wear you out
Oh, honey it's the look in your eyes
Oh, cause honey I can see you

All my life
I'd hurt the ones I loved
But baby you could turn it round

She don't love me like you
She don't know what you do
And it's so hard
She don't care what you say
So just say it, say it anyway
It's so hard
poo poo
All my life
Oh they tried to push me down
Oh, but baby you can turn it round
Oh, but honey I still see you

Don't let your friends tell you why
Cause I'm a bad bad bad - I'm the one
Oh, but baby you can turn it on

She don't love me like you
She don't know what you do
And it's so hard
She don't care what you say
So just say it, say it anyway
It's so hard

All those years gone by
I only want to find a way to make it hard for you
All those years gone by
I only want to find a way to make it hard for you

She'll never forget if the way that she wished she don't feel the same
I only want to find a way to make it hard for you
She'll never forget if the way that she wished she don't feel the same
I only want to find a way to make it hard for you
She'll never forget if the way that she wished she don't feel no pain
I only want to find a way to make it up to you
She'll never forget if the way that she wished she don't feel the same
No, I only want to find a way
I only want to fi-nd
I only want to fi-nd

She don't love me like you
She don't love me like you
She don't love me like you
She don't love me like you
She don't love
No she don't

Andrew Bird - Skin Is, My



my skin is
white as parchment
drier than a downtown office building
where the air is tight
there's time spent
resting on her bones
waiting for the telephone to ring
ba-ring ba-ring ba-ring . . .
bo-ring bo-ring bo-ring . . .

my skin is
cold as her toes on the bathroom floor
run back to bed and slam the door
oh what a lovely sound
oh how it shakes the ground
oh what a lovely sound
oh what a lovely sound
oh what a lovely...

skin is my
it's the only thing
that doesn't really fly in my land
and love, oh love
is my love is
it's the only thing that
butterfly in Thailand

let it be printed on every t-shirt in this land
on the finest of cottons and the hippest of brands
in bolder letters than the capital I
it's the only thing, it's the only thing
it's the only lonely, whoa

my skin is
white as parchment
drier than a downtown office building
where the air is tight
there's time spent
waiting for that
macrame bird of prey
to come down and sing
la-ling la-ling la-ling...
oh what a lovely sound
oh how it shakes the ground
oh what a lovely sound
oh how it shakes the ground
oh what a lovely sound

oh what a lovely sound
oh how it shakes the ground
oh what a lovely sound
oh how it shakes the ground
oh what a lovely sound
oh, oh what a lovely sound

Margot & the Nuclear So and So's - Skeleton Key



I did a sick, sick thing to my love
My lack of loyalty, it swallowed her up
And she cooked me food
She squirmed and turned
Like a skeleton key
She left her man and attended to me

And don't call me that
Don't claim you love me
Cause you know that ain't true
My dire affliction I'll attribute to you

And you're finally free
To twist and turn
Like a skeleton key

You've gotta let me know
You've gotta let me know

I did a horrible thing to that girl
I bread my misery and drowned it in her
And she got me high
And I hardly noticed there were tears in her eyes

And I miss you less and less everyday
This stream of whisky's helped to wash you away

And it's clear to see
You're nothing special
You're a skeleton key

You've gotta let me know
You've gotta let me know
You've gotta let me know
You've gotta let me know

Bishop Allen - Click Click Click Click



I had ducked out of the rain
Into Maria's wedding day
And I sat there with her friends
And with her family
And I was happy

I wasn't someone they'd invite
And I didn't know the groom
Or know the bride
But when I stood next to her brother
For the photograph
He was laughing

Take another picture with your click, click, click, click camera

Sure, I've got pictures of my own
Of all the people and the places that I've known
Here's one: I'm carrying your suitcase
Outside of Alphabet City

But in someone else's life
Where Maria is a wife
I'm on the mantle in the corner of the photograph
Smiling pretty

Take another picture with your click, click, click, click camera

Are you tired of where you've gone?
And you think you might belong
In a moment when you step out of the rain?
And you've ended up in someone else's frame?
And they're memory now is never quite the same
And they never even thought to ask your name

Take another picture with your click, click, click, click camera

Seal - Kiss from a Rose



There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light on the dark side of me.
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and
The light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh,
The more I get of you,
Stranger it feels, yeah.
And now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the grey.
There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
You remain,
My power, my pleasure, my pain, baby
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny.
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby?
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh, the more I get of you
Stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the grey,
I've been kissed by a rose on the grave,
I've been kissed by a rose
I've been kissed by a rose on the grave,
...And if I should fall along the way
I've been kissed by a rose
...been kissed by a rose on the grave.
There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
You remain
My power, my pleasure, my pain.
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny, yeah
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh, the more I get of you
Stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the grey.
Yes I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey
Ooh, the more I get of you
Stranger it feels, yeah
And now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the grey
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the grey.

Page France - Jesus



I will sing a song to you
And you will shake the ground for me
And the birds and bees and old fruit trees
Will spit out songs like gushing streams
And Jesus will come through the ground so dirty
With worms in his hair and a hand so sturdy
To call us his magic we call him worthy
Jesus came up through the ground do dirty
I will sing a song for to you
And you will stomp your feet for me
And the bears and bees and banana trees
Will play kazoos and tambourines
And Jesus will dance while we drink his wine
With soldiers and thieves and a sword in his side
And we will be joy and we will be right
Jesus will dance while we drink his wine
Jesus will come through the ground so dirty
With worms in his hair and a hand so sturdy
To call us his magic we call him worthy
Jesus came up through the ground so dirty
Jesus came up through the ground so dirty
Jesus came up through the ground so dirty
Jesus came up through the ground so dirty

Chavela Vargas - Paloma Negra

Paloma Negra.mp3

Ya me canso de llorar y no amanece
Ya no sé si maldecirte o por ti rezar
Tengo miedo de buscarte y de encontrarte
Donde me aseguran mis amigos que te vas
Hay momentos en que quisiera mejor rajarme
Y arrancarme ya los clavos de mi penar
Pero mis ojos se mueren si mirar tus ojos
Y mi cariño con la aurora te vuelve a esperar

Y aggaraste por tu cuenta la parranda
Paloma negra paloma negra dónde, dónde andarás?
Ya no jueges con mi honra parrandera
Si tus caricias han de ser mías, de nadie mas

Y aunque te amo con locura ya no vuelves
Paloma negra eres la reja de un penar
Quiero ser libre vivir mi vida con quien yo quiera
Dios dame fuerza que me estoy muriendo por irla a buscar

Y agarraste por tu cuenta las parrandas

Kaiser Chiefs - Modern Way



I know 'cos I've seen it
It was great and I want it
There's no point in sitting
Going crazy on my own
Do you know what
I was put here in this world for
Could you tell me
In three words or more
It's the only way of getting out of here
It's the only way of getting out of here
Take a lesson
From the ones who have been there
My brain is not damaged
But in need of some repair
Hold on to the basics
But we can change all our tactics
There's no point in sitting
Going crazy on my own
It's the only way of getting out of here
It's the only way of getting out of here
This is the modern way
Of faking it everyday
And taking it as we come
And we're not the only ones
Is that what we used to say
This is the modern way
I know where I'm going
And that we are in the knowing
And I will stop at nothing
Just to get what I want
It's the only way of getting out of here
It's the only way of getting out of here
This is the modern way
Of faking it everyday
And taking it as we come
And we're not the only ones
Is that what we used to say
This is the modern way
This is the modern way
Of faking it everyday
And taking it as we come
And we're not the only ones
Is that what we used to say
This is the modern way

Cat Power - Werewolf




Oh the werewolf, oh the werewolf
Comes a steppin' along
He don't even break the branches
Where he's been gone

You can hear his long holler from away 'cross the moor
That's the holler of a werewolf when he's feelin' poor

He goes out in the evenin' when the bats 're on the wing
An' he's killed some young maiden before the birds sing

For the werewolf, for the werewolf
Have sympathy
'Cause the werewolf he is someone
Just like you an' me

Once I saw him in the moonlight when the bats were a flyin'
All alone I saw the werewolf and the werewolf was cryin'

Cryin' nobody, nobody, nobody knows
How much I love the maiden as I tear off his cloths
Cryin' nobody, nobody, knows of my pain
When I see it has risen that full moon again

When I see that moon movin' through the clouds in the sky
I get a crazy feelin' an' I wonder why

Oh the werewolf, Oh the werewolf
Comes travelin' along
He don't even break the branches
Where he's been gone

For the werewolf have pity, not fear, an' not hate
'Cause the werewolf might be someone that you've known of late

Oh the werewolf, oh the werewolf
Comes travelin' along
He don't even crush the leaves
Where he's been gone

Elliot Smith - Between The Bars



drink up, baby, stay up all night
the things you could do, you won't but you might
the potential you'll be, that you'll never see
the promises you'll only make

drink up with me now and forget all about the pressure of days
do what I say and I'll make you okay and drive them away
the images stuck in your head

people you've been before that you don't want around anymore
that push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still

drink up, baby, look at the stars
I'll kiss you again between the bars where I'm seeing you
there with your hands in the air, waiting to finally be caught

drink up one more time and I'll make you mine
keep you apart deep in my heart separate from the rest
where I like you the best and keep the things you forgot

the people you've been before that you don't want around anymore
that push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still

Emiliana Torrini - Easy



It's not an accident
You mean to touch me
And that's exactly why I'm here
A trick of confidence
Twenty years inside
You're exactly what I need

But I bide
Don't have time to play
So put your toys away

Don't take it easy
Why should we take easy yeah
Should we take it easy

I break into the park
With the insects
Striking up the costume ball
The light is lovely here
In the neon glow
I could never want for more

But I bide
Don't have time to play
So put your toys away

Don't take it easy
Why should we take easy yeah
Should we take it easy
Why should we take easy yeah
Should we take it easy
Why should we take easy yeah
Easy yeah

Ben Folds Five - Army



Well I thought about the army
Dad said, son you're fucking high
And I thought, yeah there's a first for everything
So I took my old man's advice
Three sad semesters
It was only 15 grand spent in bed
I thought about the army
I dropped out and joined a band instead

Grew a moustache and a mullet
Got a job at chick-fil-a
Citing artistic differences
The band broke up in may
And in june reformed without me
And they'd got a different name
I nuked another grandmas apple pie
And hung my head in shame

Been thinking a lot today
Been thinking a lot today

Oh, I think I'll write a screenplay
Oh, I think I'll take it to LA
Oh, I think I'll get it done yesterday

In this time of introspection
On the eve of my election
I say to my reflection
God please spare me more rejection
cause my peers they criticize me
And my ex-wives all despise me
Try to put it all behind me
But my redneck past is nipping at my heels

I've been thinking a lot today
I've been thinking a lot today
I've been thinking a lot today
I thought about the army...

Electrelane - On Parade

On Parade.mp3

Stand up against the wall
So I can make you out
Do do you wanna be it?
You take the power out.
One day we'll be wandering…

Girl you'll be a dandy
And a deserter
You sit astride your horses
Dressed as Nelson

I wanna see her
I wanna see her
I wanna see her with her horses
Oh yeah

I bet I'd like your underwear
I bet I'd like your underwear
I bet I'd like your underwear

You got it down
You got it down
Uh huh
You got it down
You got it down

Psapp - Cosy in the Rocket



Climb, climb into the rocket
And we set the fuse to go, go, go
Head start, cosy in the rocket
And I need to go, to go, go, go
Tip top ready for the sky
And I'm tip top ready to go
Tip top ready for the sky
And I'm tip top ready to go, go, go

Come, come, fly into my palm
And collapse
Oh, oh, suppose you'll never know

Nobody knows where they might end up
Nobody knows
Nobody knows where they might wake up
Nobody knows
Nobody knows where they might end up
Nobody knows
Nobody knows where they might wake up
Nobody knows

Tick tack toe, you're fitting into place
And now the old ways don't seem true
Stick stop blue you're only shifting
In the same old shape you always knew
Tip top ready for the sky
And I'm tip top ready to go
Tip top ready for the sky
And I'm tip top ready to go, go, go

Come, come, fly into my palm
And collapse
Oh, oh, suppose you'll never know

Stina Nordenstam - Butterfly



It happened again last night
It happened again alright
Honey it makes me want to cry
Too late I fell out of bed
Hit the ceiling instead
I'd turned into a butterfly

God didn't spend much time
This was a hit and run
Clearly the wings were oversized
In all, nothing was right
Still it was quite a sight
I'd turned into a butterfly

But the last time I looked in a mirror
It looked like it was going to be fine
And the last time I looked in the mirror
It looked like it was going to be fine

Baby I don't know why
I was the average guy
And I was almost satisfied
To be just one in the crowd
Not too tall or too loud
I turned into a butterfly

Tired but always clean
Staying away from dreams
So I lie sleepless by your side most nights
A twitch in my back
Gently life would attack
I'd turned into a butterfly

But the last time I looked in a mirror
It looked like it was going to be fine
And the last time I looked in the mirror
It looked like it was going to be fine

Once past the drowning panic
And the longing to fly
Whatever I see in the mirror
I'm sure that it's going to be fine

The Byrds - Here Without You

Here Without You.mp3

Daytime just makes me feel lonely
At night I can only dream about you
Girl you're on my mind
Nearly all of the time
It's so hard being here without you.
Words in my head keep repeating
Things that you said when I was with you.
And I wonder is it true
Do you feel the same way too
Its so hard being here without you
Being here without you
Oh I know this wont last
I'll see you someday
It seems as though that day will come never
But theres one thing Ill swear
Though youre far away
I'll be thinking about you forever
Streets that I walk on depress me
Ones that were happy when I was with you
Still with all the friends I know
And with all the things I do
It's so hard being here without you
Being here without you.


- Thanks to Tolga.

Loney, Dear - I am John

I am John

johnny and I, we got lost tonight,
we got carried away,
i takes someone like me,
to lose track like that,
to be troubled down,
got a heart full of plans but nowhere to run,
there were seventeen dogs out to track us down and
i got some bruises and i got a scar but now,
never gonna let you down,
and i got it wrong like i knew i would and
i told you, never gonna let you down,
i must never let you down,
but i will always let you
and everything must start from here,
in a morning with ease with somewhere to go,
with no sticky feeling of going wrong without the heartbeats
asking where you're gonna go with the trouble you wear,
you want to wear it down,
you want to make something new of this but never gonna make it home,
never gonna make it
someone i want now,
somewhere i want to go,
and i told you,
never gonna let you down,
never gonna let you down,
but I will always let you down.
i said johnny and i, we got lost tonight,
but we doubled our chances we've got somewhere to go,
we've got devils chasing us to hunt us down,
and we know we can't go like this from now,
i've got a feeling of you,
and we danced for so long,
i want your arms around me,
said never gonna let you down,
never gonna let you down,
but i will always let you down
I've got a feeling of you and we danced for so long,
I want your arms around me like lovers do,
and I'm never gonna let you down, never gonna let you down.

Peter, Bjorn and John - Young Folks



if i told you things i did before
told you how i used to be
would you go along with someone like me
if you knew my story word for word
had all of my history
would you go along with someone like me

i did before and had my share
it didn't lead nowhere
i would go along with someone like you
it doesn't matter what you did
who you were hanging with
we could stick around and see this night through

and we don't care about the young folks
talkin' bout the young style
and we don't care about the old folks
talkin' 'bout the old style too
and we don't care about our own faults
talkin' 'bout our own style
all we care about is talking
talking only me and you

usually when things has gone this far
people tend to disappear
now it won't surprise me unless you do

i can tell there's something goin' on
hours seems to disappear
everyone is leaving i'm still with you

it doesn't matter what we do
where we are going to
we can stick around and see this night through

and we don't care about the young folks
talkin' bout the young style
and we don't care about the old folks
talkin' 'bout the old style too
and we don't care about our own faults
talkin' 'bout our own style
all we care about is talking
talking only me and you

and we don't care about the young folks
talkin' bout the young style
and we don't care about the old folks
talkin' 'bout the old style too
and we don't care about our own faults
talkin' 'bout our own style
all we care about is talking
talking only me and you
(repeat)
talking only me and you

talking only me and you
talking only me and you

Arctic Monkeys - A Certain Romance



Well oh they might wear classic Reeboks
Or knackered Converse
Or tracky bottoms tucked in socks
But all of that's what the point is not
The point's that there ain't no romance around there
And there's the truth that they can't see
They'd probably like to throw a punch at me
And if you could only see them, then you would agree
Agree that there ain't no romance around there

You know, oh it's a funny thing you know
We'll tell 'em if you like
We'll tell 'em all tonight
They'll never listen
Cause their minds are made up
And course it's all okay to carry on that way

And over there there's broken bones
There's only music, so that there's new ringtones
And it don't take no Sherlock Holmes
To see it's a little different around here

Don't get me wrong, oh there's boys in bands
And kids who like to scrap with pool cues in their hands
And just cause he's had a coupla cans
He thinks it's alright to act like a dickhead

Don't you know, oh it's a funny thing you know
We'll tell em if you like
We'll tell em all tonight
They'll never listen
Cause their minds are made up
And course it's all okay to carry on that way

I said no
Oh no!
Oh you won't get me to go!
Anywhere, said anywhere
I won't go
Oh no no!

Well over there there's friends of mine
What can I say, I've known 'em for a long long time
And yeah they might overstep the line
But I just cannot get angry in the same way
Not in the same way
Not in the same way
Oh no, oh no no

Kaolin - Partons Vite



Allez danse, danse, vient dans mes bras,
Allez tourne, tourne, reste avec moi,
Allez partons vite si tu veux bien, dès le jour,
Le soleil brille très haut tu sais,
Mais j'aime ça, je t'attendais
Alors partons vite si tu veux bien, Sans retour...

Rit plus fort et parle-moi
De nos projets, de nos rêves tout ça
Donne-moi la main, embrasse-moi, mon amour
Le temps comme ami, moi je veux bien
Mais les amis ça va, ça vient,
Alors partons vite brûler le jour et la nuit

Evidemment, tu l'aimes encore,
Je le vois bien tu sais, et puis alors ?
Mais pour l'instant ferme tes yeux, passe ta main dans mes cheveux.


Je veux entendre, ton cœur qui bat, tu sais, je crois qu'il chante pour moi
Mais en douceur comme ça tout bas, comme un sourd
Mon cœur lui s'emballe, il vole haut, peut être un peut trop haut pour moi
Mais je m'en fou, je suis vivant pour de bon


Allez danse, danse, regarde-moi
Allez tourne, tourne, ne t'arrête pas
Allez partons vite, si tu veux bien, dès le jour
le soleil brille, profitons-en
Je t'attendrai, je t'aime tant
Alors vas-t'en vite si tu veux bien, sans retour

Evidemment, tu l'aimes encore,
Ça crève les yeux mon dieu, Tu l'aimes encore
Mais pour l'instant ferme tes yeux, passe ta main dans mes cheveux

Allez danse mon amour! Allez danse!
Faisons de nos enfants des droits !
Fait tourner le monde mon amour, fait tourner le monde


Allez danse, danse, retourne-toi
Allez tourne, tourne, ne t'arrête pas
Allez partons vite, si tu veux bien, dès le jour
J'ai manqué d'air je m'en souviens,
Toutes ses années sans toi sans rien
Même mes chansons se baladaient le cœur lourd

Evidemment, tu l'aimes encore,
Ça crève les yeux mon dieu, ça crève les yeux mon dieu
Mon dieu...

Troy Von Balthazar - Heroic Little Sisters



We begot like horses.
Put your arms around us.
We still have voices.
Promise me you won't forget.
The government don't own us yet.
The government don't own us yet.

We're so lucky.
Push your wings into me.
We fuck like horses.
Shouldn't we always be free.
The government don't own us yet.

Heroic little sisters, cannot not be broken.
Heroic little sisters, cannot not be broken�

Kings of Convenience - Know How



Riding on this know-how
Never been here before
Peculiarly entrusted
Possibly that's all
Is history recorded?
Does someone have a tape?
Surely, I'm no pioneer
Constellations stay the same

Just a little bit of danger
When intriguingly
Our little secret
Trusts that you trust me
'Cause no one will ever know
That this was happening
So tell me why you listen
When nobody's talking

What is there to know?
All this is what it is
You and me alone
Sheer simplicity

What is there to know?
All this is what it is
You and me alone
Sheer simplicity

What is there to know?
All this is what it is
You and me alone
Sheer simplicity

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Heavy Metal



Now all the secrets of old age
They tell us we should really stop
They implore us oh
They should adore us oh

It's been a year and now we find
We're lost behind enemy lines
They're gunning for us oh
But they never even met us oh

What happened to our heavy metal?
What happened to our coat of arms?
We find that we're stuck in the middle
Picking up the pieces of our hearts

And there will be no comfort
For all that we have lost
The actors seemed so happy
But somehow ended all washed up

What happened to our heavy metal?
What happened to our coat of arms?
We find that we're stuck in the middle
Picking up the pieces of our hearts

Noir Désir - Des Visages Des Figures



Des visages, des figures
Dévisagent, défigurent
Des figurants à effacer
des faces a, des faces b

Appâts feutrés
Attrait des formes
Déforment, altèrent
Malentendu entre les tours
Et c'est le fou
Qui était pour

Premier abord
Homme à la mer
Hommage amer
Un chat viré
Par dessus bord

Désert, des grands airs
Doute entier, doute entier
Auquel peuvent s'ajouter
Des oiseaux mazoutés

J'ai douté des détails, jamais du don des nues
J'ai douté des détails, jamais du don des nues

Des corps, des esprits me reviennent
Des décors, des scènes, des arènes
Hantez, hantez, faites comme chez vous, restez

Si tout devient opaque
Ma reine, ma reine
J'ai bien aimé ta paire de claques
Et surtout ton dernier baiser

Des visages, des figures
Dévisagent, défigurent
Des figurants à effacer
des faces a, des faces b

J'ai douté des détails, jamais du don des nues
J'ai douté des détails, jamais du don des nues
du don des nues
du don des nues

Nada Surf - Popular



Three important rules for breaking up
Don't put off breaking up when you know you want to
Prolonging the situation only makes it worse
Tell him honestly, simply, kindly, but firmly
Don't make a big production
Don't make up an elaborate story
This will help you avoid a big tear jerking scene
If you wanna date other people say so
Be prepared for the boy to feel hurt and rejected
Even if you've gone together for only a short time,
And haven't been too serious,
There's still a feeling of rejection
When someone says she preferres the company of others
To your exclusive company,
But if you're honest, and direct,
And avoid making a flowery emotional speech when you brake the news,
The boy will respect you for your frankness,
And honestly he'll apeciate the kind of straight foward manner
In which you told him your decision
Unless he's a real jerk or a cry baby you will remain friends
I'm head of the class
'm popular
I'm a quarter back
I'm popular
My mom says I'm a catch
I'm popular
I'm never last picked
I got a cheerleader chick
Being attractive is the most important thing there is
If you wanna catch the biggest fish in your pond
You have to be as attractive as possible
Make sure to keep your hair spotless and clean
Wash it at least every two weeks
Once every two weeks
And if you see Johnny football hero in the hall
Tell him he played a great game
Tell him you like his article in the newspaper
I'm the party star
I'm popular
I've got my own car
I'm popular
I'll never get caught
I'm popular
I make football bets
I'm a teachers pet.
I propose we support a one month limit on going steady
I think It will keep you both more able to deal with weird situation
And get to know more people
I think if you're ready to go out with Johnny
Now's the time to tell him about your one month limit
He won't mind he'll apreciate your fresh look on dating
And once you've dated someone else you can date him again
I'm sure he'll like it
Everyone will appreciate it
You're so novel what a good idea
You can keep your time to your self
You don't need date insurance
You can go out with whoever you want to
Every boy, every boy, in the whole world could be yours
If you'll just listen to my plan
The teenage guide to popularity

Sia - Sunday



For those who've slept
For those who've kept
Themselves jacked up
How Jesus wept
Sunday
Sunday

For those in need
For those who speed
For those who try to slow their minds with weed
Sunday
Sunday

For those who wake
With a blind headache
Who must be still
Who will sit and wait
For sunday, to be monday

Yeah, it will be ok
Do nothing today
Give yourself a break
Let your imagination run away

For those with guilt
For those who wilt
Under pressure
No tears over spilt milk
Sunday
Sunday

Sunday
Sunday

Sunday
Sunday

Yeah, it will be ok
Do nothing today
Give yourself a break
Let your imagination runaway

Yeah, it will be ok
Do nothing today
Give yourself a break
Let your imagination runaway

Architecture in Helsinki - It'5!



Stranger danger,
Danger stranger,
When you gonna follow through?

The mistake you don't make,
Or the rain cloud covers above your house.
Steal the feelings,
Don't focuse on the flames girl.
Have I failed to impress you?
Could've sworn that wine
And one and four made two,
But it's 5!
It's 5!

Can I ride with you
Until the sunset gets all red?
And we'll get chased by the moon

Hope the passion don't fade
Since you decided he's your spouse.
Wheeling, dealing,
Joking things will change girl.
Have I failed to impress you?
Could've sworn that wine
And one and four made two,
But it's 5!
It is 5!

The Postal Service - Such Great Heights



I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles

In our eyes are mirror images and when
We kiss they're perfectly aligned
And I have to speculate that God himself
Did make us into corresponding shapes like
Puzzle pieces from the clay
True, it may seem like a stretch, but
Its thoughts like this that catch my troubled
Head when you're away when I am missing you to death
When you are out there on the road for
Several weeks of shows and when you scan
The radio, I hope this song will guide you home

They will see us waving from such great
Heights, 'come down now,' they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away,
'come down now,' but we'll stay...

I tried my best to leave this all on your
Machine but the persistent beat it sounded
Thin upon listening
That frankly will not fly. you will hear
The shrillest highs and lowest lows with
The windows down when this is guiding you home
