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

Blur - Clover Over Dover

Blur - Clover Over Dover.mp3

I'm on the white cliffs of Dover
Thinking it's over and over
But if I jump it's all over
A cautionary tale for you

I'd like to roll in the clover
With you over and over
On the white cliffs of Dover
And then I let you push me over

If that is the fact
Then in actual fact
I'm not where its at
And it's over
Oh, if that is the fact
Then in actual fact
I'm not where it's at
And it's over
Yes it is

And now the bluebirds are over (I'm floating away)
Over the white cliffs of dover (spent twenty years upon the sea)
And when you push me over (and when I come back)
Don't bury me, I'm not worth anything (I found that you took care to me)

If that is the fact
Then in actual fact
I'm not where it's at
And it's over

Yes it is.

*Special thanks to Tolga? ! Yes, this is the best Blur song ever. Don't worry; I'm aware of that.

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
