Bob Dylan - "Series Of Dreams"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgqGUBP3Cx0

I was thinking of a series of dreams
Where nothing comes up to the top.
Everything stays down where it's wounded
And comes to a permanent stop.
Wasn't thinking of anything specific,
Like in a dream, when someone wakes up and screams.
Nothing too scientific,
Just thinking of a series of dreams.

Dreams where the umbrella is folded,
And into the path you are hurled,
And the cards are no good that you're holding
Unless they're from another world.

In one, the surface was frozen.
In another, I witnessed a crime.
In one, I was running, and in another
All I seemed to be doing was climb
Wasn't looking for any special assistance,
Not going to any great extremes.
I'd already gone the distance,
Just thinking of a series of dreams.

Dreams where the umbrella is folded,
And into the path you are hurled,
And the cards are no good that you're holding
Unless they're from another world.

I'd already gone the distance,
Just thinking of a series of dreams.
Just thinking of a series of dreams.
Just thinking of a series of dreams.

Ed Sheeran - "Drunk"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2fOum_KWQU

I wanna be drunk when I wake up
On the right side of the wrong bed
And every excuse I made up
Tell you the truth I hate
What didn't kill me
It never made me stronger at all.
Love will scar your make-up lip sticks to me
So now I'll maybe leave back there
I'm sat here wishing I was sober
I know I'll never hold you like I used to.

But our house gets cold when you cut the heating
Without you to hold I'll be freezing
Can't rely on my heart to beat it
'Cause you take part of it every evening
Take words out of my mouth just from breathing
Replace with phrases like when you're leaving me.

Should I, should I?
Maybe I'll get drunk again
I'll be drunk again
I'll be drunk again
To feel a little love

I wanna hold your heart in both hands
I'll watch it fizzle at the bottom of a Coke can
And I've got no plans for the weekend
So shall we speak then
Keep it between friends
Though I know you'll never love me like you used to.

There maybe other people like us
You see the flicker of the clip when they light up
Flames just create us, burns don't heal like before
You don't hold me anymore.

On cold days Coldplay's out like the band's the name
I know I can't heal things with a hand shake
You know I can't change as I began saying
You cut me wide open like landscape
Open bottles of beer but never champagne
We'll applaud you with the sound that my hands make.

Should I, should I?
Maybe I'll get drunk again
I'll be drunk again
I'll be drunk again
To feel a little love.

All by myself
I'm here again
All by myself
You know I'll never change
All by myself
All by myself
I'm just drunk again
I'll be drunk again
I'll be drunk again
To feel a little love

Spin Doctors - "Pretty Baby"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NEFen5kzMA

Look around your world Pretty Baby
Is it everything you hoped it'd be
The wrong guy
The wrong situation
The right time to roll to me
Roll to me
And look into your heart Pretty Baby
Is it aching with some aimless need
Is there something wrong and you can't put your finger on it
Right then
Roll to me
And I don't think I have ever seen a soul so in despair
So if you want to talk the night through
Guess who will be there
So don't try to deny Pretty Baby
You've been down so long
You can hardly see
When the engines stall and it won't stop raining
It's the right time to
Roll to me
Roll to me
Roll to me
And I don't think I have ever seen a soul so in despair
So if you want to talk the night through
Guess who will be there
So look around your world Pretty Baby
Is it everything you hoped it'd be
The wrong guy
The wrong situation
The right time to roll to me
The right time to roll to me
The right time to roll to meeee uuuhhhhhh

Let me go on... like I blister in the sun
Let me go on... big hands, I know you're the one

Body and beats, I stain my sheets -- I don't even know why
My girlfriend, she's at the end -- she is starting to cry
Let me go on... like I blister in the sun
Let me go on... big hands, I know you're the one

Christine Fellows - "Vertebrae"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpSwFxOqDDU

A photo essay of a family in mourning
Perforated ever so slightly to better let the lights
Seep through
Sunday traffic clears a path
We float inches above the road
Close our eyes and drive so slow
Like we never need to get home

To clear the doorstep of flowers
Throw open the blinds in his empty room
Avert our eyes from his fingerprints
Is there something I'm forgetting?

Fall to my knees in the hospital parking lot
On the way in, arms full of branches
I am dead fall, dead fall
Last time I came here to visit him
I ran sunburn through the halls
My arms full of tiger lilies
I don't remember this
I was told to go home

To clear the doorstep of flowers
Throw open the blinds in his empty room
Avert my eyes from his fingerprints
Is there something I'm forgetting?

Why?
When you know you should go,
Is it so hard to leave?

Came this far to say goodbye, to make things right
Instead I fiddle with his blankets
Fetching coffee no one would drink
I am not prepared
Through the hush of debts and the roar of engines
Struggled to recall, this is how it ended
This is how it ends

Home,
Turn the key in the door and fall
For what it seems like an awfully long time
There's something I'm both remembering and forgetting
A name on the tip of my tongue

Fine Young Cannibals - "She Drives Me Crazy"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSCJJkFgt_w&feature=related

I can't stop the way I feel
Things you do don't seem real

Tell me what you've got in mind
'Cause we're runnin' out of time
Won't you ever set me free
This waiting round is killing me

She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
I can't help myself

I can't get any rest
People say I'm obsessed
Everything you say is lies
But to me there's no surprise
What I had for you was true
Things go wrong, they always do

She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
I can't help myself

I won't make it on my own
No one likes to be alone

She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
I can't help myself

Uh huh huh

She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
I can't help myself

Uh huh huh

She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
I can't help myself

Robert Palmer - "Addicted To Love"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcATvu5f9vE&feature=related

our lights are on, but you're not home
Your mind is not your own
Your heart sweats, your body shakes
Another kiss is what it takes
You can't sleep, you can't eat
There's no doubt, you're in deep
Your throat is tight, you can't breathe
Another kiss is all you need

Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love

You see the signs, but you can't read
You're runnin' at a different speed
Your heart beats in double time
Another kiss and you'll be mine, a one track mind
You can't be saved
Oblivion is all you crave
If there's some left for you
You don't mind if you do

Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love

Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love

[break]

Your lights are on, but you're not home
Your will is not your own
You're heart sweats, your teeth grind
Another kiss and you'll be mine
Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love

Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love

Tears For Fears - "Everybody Wants To Rule The World"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ST86JM1RPl0&feature=related

Welcome to your life,
There's no turning back.
Even while sleep,
We will find you.

Acting on your best behaviour
Turn your back on Mother Nature
Everybody wants to rule the world

It's my own design,
It's my own remorse.
Help me to decide,
Help make the most,

Of freedom and of pleasure,
Nothing ever lasts forever.
Everybody wants to rule the world.

There's a room where the light won't find you,
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down.
When they do I'll be right behind you,

So glad we've almost made it.
So sad they had fade it.
Everybody wants to rule the world.

I can't stand this indecision,
Married with a lack of vision.
Everybody wants to rule the world.

Say that you'll never never never need it.
One headline why believe it?
Everybody wants to rule the world.

All for freedom and for pleasure,
Nothing ever lasts forever.
Everybody wants to rule the world.

(Come On Eileen)
(Come On Eileen)

Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
But he moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried
Sang along
Who'd blame them
You've grown, so grown
Now I must say more than ever
(Come On Eileen)
Too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye, aye
And we can sing just like our fathers

Come on Eileen
Oh, I swear what he means (what he means)
At this moment you mean everything
You in that dress
My thoughts I confess
Verge on dirty
Oh, come on Eileen

(Come On Eileen)

These people round here
Wear beaten down eyes sunk
In smoke dried faces
They're so resigned to what their fate is
But not us (no not ever)
But not us (not ever)
We are far too young and clever
(Remember)
Too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye, aye
And you'll hum this tune forever

Come on Eileen
Oh, I swear what he means
Aah, come on let's
Take off everything
That pretty red dress
Eileen (tell him yes)
Aah, come on let's
Aah, come on Eileen

That pretty red dress
Eileen (tell him yes)
Aah, come on let's
Aah, come on Eileen

Come on Eileen, too-rye-aye
Come on Eileen, too-rye-aye
Now you're full grown
Now you have shown
Oh, Eileen

Say, come on Eileen
These things they are real and I know
How you feel
Now I must say more than ever
Things round here have changed
I say, too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye-aye

Come on Eileen
Oh, I swear (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
You in that dress, my thoughts I confess
Which are dirty
Aah, come on Eileen

Aah, come on Eileen
Oh, I swear (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
You in that dress, my thoughts I confess
Well, they're dirty
Come on Eileen

Come on Eileen...

The Cure - "Boys Don't Cry"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9hOFOgqOds&feature=related

I would say I'm sorry
If I thought that it would change your mind
But I know that this time
I've said too much
Been too unkind

I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try and
Laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes
'cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry

I would break down at your feet
And beg forgiveness
Plead with you
But I know that
It's too late
And now there's nothing I can do

So I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try to
laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes
'cause boys don't cry

I would tell you
That I loved you
If I thought that you would stay
But I know that it's no use
That you've already
Gone away

Misjudged your limits
Pushed you too far
Took you for granted
I thought that you needed me more

Now I would do most anything
To get you back by my side
But I just
Keep on laughing
Hiding the tears in my eyes
'cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
Boys don't cry

Roy Orbison - "In Dreams"

A candy-colored clown they call the sandman
Tiptoes to my room every night
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper:
"Go to sleep, everything is alright"

I close my eyes
Then I drift away
Into the magic night
I softly sway
Oh smile and pray
Like dreamers do
Then I fall asleep
To dream my dreams of you
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/r/roy+orbison/in+dreams_20119072.html ]
In dreams...I walk with you
In dreams...I talk to you
In dreams...Your mine

All of the time
We're together
In dreams...In dreams

But just before the dawn
I awake and find you gone
I can't help it...I can't help it
If I cry
I remember
That you said goodbye
To end all these things
And I'll be happy in my dreams
Only in dreams
In beautiful dreams

Melissa McClelland - "Passenger 24"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UPNOkJmLpc

Passenger number 24,
I got a bag of cocaine, cut my hair short.
We're gonna fill it up with diesel and American scum
Left a girl in Amarillo 'bout as sweet as rum

A girl in Amarillo
'Bout as sweet as rum

I've a Christian name and a cross in ink
But God don't like it when a poor man think
So I'm a boot camp warrior, United States vet
Got a girl in Orange County, she don't know it yet

A girl in Orange County
Don't know it yet

Well it's four AM and I'm still a 'hound,
We dropped a mean talkin' Yankee off in the last town.
If I were in Kentucky I'd be shooting raccoons,
Stoned as the driver chasing the moon.

Hopped up driver,
Chasing the moon.

Buying smokes for kids and I pocket the change.
Grab a deli stick, a barely legal 'Home on the Range'.
Jump on the bus as he's gunnin' the wheel,
Dust in my tracks, pedal to steel.

Dust in my tracks,
Pedal to steel.
Whoo!

Passenger number 24,
I got a bag of cocaine, cut my hair short.
We're gonna fill it up with diesel and American scum.
Left a girl in Amarillo, sweet as rum.

A girl in Amarillo
'Bout as sweet...

Frankie Lymon - "Seabreeze"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yo4UE-p864

I can see the lights
Of a little town
Where the stars shine bright
And the moon never frowns
Where a man can find peace
And get all he needs
It's my home
And they call it
Seabreeze

What a town to live in
What a place to see
I am sure you'll give in to the joy and the lead
When you'll find peace of mind
You wont want to leave
Come with me and I'll show you
Seabreeze


If you don't
Believe
What I've said is true
You should come with me
And I'll show to you
People singing their songs as they go along
To the streets of a town called
Seabreeze

Alan Pownall - "A Life Worth Living"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4v7QnPOebs&feature=related

I did my best this time around
Don't look like you've been holding out for nothing
Within nothing

Cause I've been hit down on the ground
I'm hoping we could turn it into something
Yeah, yeah

But you said you wanted more, you'll never coming back
Oh, now you just remind me of about everything I had

Oh, I won't run away from a life worth living with
Yon don't have to wait for, a life worth living with
Cause there's nothing I want more than a life worth living with you

I've been here once too many times
You let me fall away
And it was over (it was over)

I knew you turn yourself around
And I'll be there to take you under my arms, oh

Cause you said you weren't a moron, I could never give you that
Now you just remind me of about everything I had

Oh, I won't run away from a life worth living with
Yon don't have to wait for, a life worth living with
Cause there's nothing I want more than a life worth living with you

I never want it anymore than this
I found you in my darn day

But I've been waiting after all these time
And you stayed away
But I feel it in my bones
About looking on all over for a love worth living with

Oh, I won't run away from a life living with
Yon don't have to wait for, a life worth living with
Cause there's nothing I want more than a life worth living with you

A live worth living with you
A live worth living with you
A live worth living with you

Joy Division - "Love Will Tear Us Apart"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHYOXyy1ToI

When routine bites hard,
And ambitions are low,
And resentment rides high,
But emotions won't grow,
And we're changing our ways,
Taking different roads.

Then love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.

Why is the bedroom so cold?
You've turned away on your side.
Is my timing that flawed?
Our respect runs so dry.
Yet there's still this appeal
That we've kept through our lives.

But love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.

You cry out in your sleep,
All my failings exposed.
And there's a taste in my mouth,
As desperation takes hold.
Just that something so good
Just can't function no more.

But love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.

Bruce Springsteen its ’Born To Rain’ in Sunderland

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7G3hy2IZxp8

Dave & I drove up to Sunderland's Stadium Of Light - in appalling rain - to see Bruce Springsteen's first UK appearance on tour (21st June) following the release of 'The Wrecking Ball'. We set off feeling unlucky - though wisely Margaret told me not to go if I wasn't looking forward to it! Once we parked in a multi-story we walked into town in rain that faded and found Luciano's restaurant almost straightaway. Though we were three hours early for the booking for two they welcomed us ... just as well as we enjoyed a leisurely meal and left to get in the stadium for 6.15pm. Springsteen came on at 7.08 - perfect!

It was a brilliant concert ... the moment he came on he strolled out on the central runway, looking up into the light drizzle & said “Sunderland, this is what it’s supposed to be like. I don’t want 75 degrees and sunny.” ... he was bound to get the crowd immediately on his side and to forget the weather. "When I come to Sunderland, England, I want it just like this!" ... what a showman!

The set list was awesome ...

Dave kept remarking that it was more religious than rock ... and that the crowd was fantastic!

It was all great but I thought 'Jack Of All Trades', 'Johnny 99' & 'Waitin' On A Sunny Day' excellent and 'The River', 'The Rising' and 'Born To Run' were knock out.

We walked out in stunned silence ... we had been to a fantastic concert / religious ceremony! Got home about 12.30 - happy.

Here's a review by Katy Wheeler in the Sunderland Echo published on Friday 22 June 2012 09:36

It was more like born to rain as wet weather and fog threatened to put a dampener on Bruce Springsteen’s debut performance in Sunderland. But The Boss was never going to disappoint his legion of fans – more than 50,000 in fact – who travelled from across Wearside and beyond to see the first night of his Wrecking Ball UK tour. “Sunderland, this is what it’s supposed to be like,” he yelled in his inimitable gravelly tones as he arrived on stage. “I don’t want 75 degrees and sunny. When I come to Sunderland, England, I want it just like this.” From that moment on, it didn’t really matter what the weather threw at the crowd – their hero was on stage and that’s all that seemed to count.

This was the first time I’d seen Springsteen live and he proved to be as impressive as his fans had promised. You can’t fault his enthusiasm and passion which was etched across his face as he gave emotion-fuelled performances of tracks from Wrecking Ball, such as We Take Care of Our Own, Land of Hope and Dreams and the title track. He was given a warm Wearside welcome by a sea of outstretched arms and ponchos, some fans draped in U.S flags in homage to the rocker’s home country. Clad in black jeans, grey shirt and waistcoat, Bruce’s outfit and his stage was plain and simple, but this was about the music: no gimmicks, no effects, just rock ‘n’ roll in its purest form. In keeping with this, Bruce was, of course, backed up by top-class musicians in the form of his E Street Band. Guitar, saxophone, harmonica, trumpet, violin and more – they played them to perfection.

At times slow and mournful, such as with The River

other times rousing, like during Hungry Heart, this was a show which ran the whole gamut of emotions. Never more so than when they paid tribute to late E Street Band saxophone player, Clarence Clemons, with a montage of images of the great musician. Bruce seemed genuinely appreciative of the fans who had paid at least £55 to be there and two of them were given the ultimate reward when they were given the chance to bop alongside their hero for Dancing in the Dark. The two lads chosen were no Courteney Cox, who was plucked from the crowd in the song’s video, but they gave it their all.

It was inevitably the more classic Springsteen tracks which drew the greatest crowd reaction. Thunder Road, Born to Run and Glory Days were given a roaring reception at the home of the Black Cats. Even the club’s bosses Martin O’Neill and Ellis Short were spotted near the front of the stage, lapping up the atmosphere. In true Springsteen style, Bruce put in a lengthy performance at more than three hours. And, for a 62-year-old, he never let up. There was no mistaking who was The Boss of that stage.

... and a comment in The Daily Telegraph - theveeman

It was sometime around 9:15pm last night, as The Boss played the opening chords to 'The River' on his harmonica, that I realised I was witnessing the greatest performance I'd ever seen. Up until that point I knew I was experiencing a cultural highpoint in my life, but that was the moment when I knew all other gigs would be marked by how they compared to this.

To attempt to review Bruce Springsteen based solely on his music is a difficult task, one that almost does an injustice to the man. He is more than a mere singer, more than simply the leader of his E Street Band. He is a philosopher, a hero, a political barometer, an icon, a legend; he is, quite simply, The Boss.

Because of the iconic status he holds and the reverence he instils in his devoted fans, his core followers have often likened his concerts more to a religious than a musical experience. The way in which he commands the audience, the manner in which his songs have bookmarked the lives of those listening to him down the years, the lessons he teaches us about life, this is something only to be found amongst the very elite of artists. There was certainly a feeling of a captivated faithful in the crowd last night and we weren't disappointed by what we witnessed.

A set at over three hours long, spanning 5 decades of a stellar career, we were all invited to The Boss' 'house party' for the night. From the opening of 'Badlands' to the closing with '10th Avenue Freezeout' the energy levels never dropped below maximum. Even the slower-paced tracks such as 'Thunder Road' and 'Point Black' were delivered with such intensity that every member of the audience felt like he was speaking directly to them.

The material from his latest album, Wrecking Ball, stood up well alongside the back catalogue; the politically charged 'Jack of all trades' striking a chord with the many families affected by the economic troubles we're facing.

Allied to the music, Springsteen has always had the human touch that shows he really is one of the good guys. Even the North-Eastern rain raised a smile as he told us 'This is what I wanted in Sunderland' and 'Give me some of that good old English rain'. He embraced the elements of our native land just as he embraced the audience with his performance.

Throughout the night, Springsteen paid tributes to the late 'Big Man' Clarence Clemons (his place in the band taken by his nephew Jake who received rapturous support every time he stepped up to deliver a saxophone solo). A departing that Springsteen has described as elemental, like losing the rain, the crowd shared in both the sorrow of his loss and the recognition of a glorious life. In '10th Avenue Freezeout', the song that would close the night, the band stopped at the line 'The Big Man joined the band' to show a collection of pictures of Clarence on the big screens. The applause that accompanied the pictures was one of the loudest of the night and there were many misty eyes around me.

The truest thing I can say about last night is that, having seen hundreds of gigs in my life, it was the best by far. The smiles on the faces of those in attendance would surely be all the evidence others may need to say that this is not simply the view of one fan, but a feeling shared by many.

62 years old and as good as ever.

Talk about a dream, try to make it real...

20 Great Albums

1. Bon Iver - Bon Iver - tracks 1 & 2 Perth & Minnesota, WI


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uH6w7yAO6m4

Perth
I'm tearing up, across your face, move dust through the light
To find your name, it's something faint, this is not a place
Not yet awake, I'm raised to make

Still alive for you, love
Still alive for you, love
Still alive for you, love

In a matter of a month, from forests for the soft, gotta know been lead aloft
So I'm reading all your stories, what I know, what it is, it's boring, wire it up
You're breaking new ground

Minnesota, WI
Armour let it through, borne the arboretic truth you kept posing
Sat down in the suit, fixed on up it wasn't you by finish closing
Ramble in the roots, had the marvel, moved the proof be kneeled fine's glowing
Storing up the clues, it had it's sullen blue bruised through by showing
Settle past a patience where wishes and your will are spilling pictures
Water's running through in the valley where we grew to write this scripture:

Never gonna break, never gonna break
Never gonna break, never gonna break
Not for a part in any gamut of the dark

Doubled in the toes annex it, minute closed in the morning
Did not lose it in the stack's stow, I'm a gonna lay that call back on ya
You know it won't beseech you, we're laying in an open field
I will let you grow,
No need to notice
So carry on my dear, what is clear up in the daylight is we're hung here
Fall is coming soon, a new year for the moon and the Hmong here

Never gonna break, never gonna break
Never gonna break, never gonna break
All that it seems
Bellows tracing through the streams

Never gonna break, never gonna break
Never gonna break, never gonna break
All at it's seems
Swallows swelling for the beams

2. The Mountain Goats
Album - 'All Eternals Deck' - track 'Prowl Great Cain'



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j47lkX6WtHA

Gather jewels from graveyards,
When I get home bury them again.
Wonder if you'll ever get the chance
To ask me why I turned you in?
I saved my own skin but I live to fight,
I live to fight another day
Still remember how brave you were
When they came to take you away

And I feel guilty
But I can't feel ashamed
Prowl through empty fields,
Great Cain

Thought I'd seen the ghost up on the boulevard,
Between the broken bits.
It's hard to tell gifts of the spirit,
From clever counterfeits.
Sleepwalk through my days and mark the hours
Until these dark times fade,
Like a caterpillar crawling out
Along the surface of the blade

And I feel guilty,
But I can't feel ashamed
Prowl through empty fields,
Great Cain

Rummage through the gutted storehouse now,
And lick the sweat from my brow.
Saw the trucks roll out this morning,
Not sure when they're coming back again.
Feel the prickings of my conscience,
In my chest every now and then.
Sometimes a great wave of forgetfulness,
Rises up and blesses me
And other times the sickness howls
And I despair of any remedy

And I feel guilty,
But I can't feel ashamed
Prowl through empty fields,
Great Cain

3. M83
Album is 'Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming' - track is 'My Tears Are Becoming A Sea'



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjE6c546Kgw

This star is a planet

The beauty gets away from you
I'm on my way
I'm on
I'm on

4. Girls Album 'Father, Son, Holy Ghost' - track 'Honey Bunny'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxuDoYhQI2o

I know you're out there
you might be right around the corner
and you'll be the girl that I love
No one could take you
No other man can make you an offer
'Cause I'll be the one that you want (always)

I've been messing with so many girls
who could give a damn about who I am
They don't like my boney body
They don't like my dirty hair
Or the stuff that I say
Or the stuff that I'm on

I'm gonna get you honey

I know you're somewhere
And nothing's ever gonna phase me
You'll look at me and know I'm the one
And you will love me
For all the reasons everyone hates me
And we can do whatever we want (always)

I've been messing with so many girls
Who could give a damn about who I am
They don't like my boney body
They don't like my dirty hair
Or the stuff that I say
Or the stuff that I'm on

Mama, she really loved me
Even when I was bad
She'd hold my little hand
And kiss me on the cheek

And when I cried
She would hold me closely
And tell me "everything will be alright"
That woman loved me;
I need a woman who loves
Me, me me me me me (yeah)

I know you're out there
you might be right around the corner
And you'll be the girl that I love [x4]

5. St. Vincent (Annie Clark) Album 'Strange Mercy' - track 'Strange Mercy'


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JwXCBi-Eh8

Oh little one I know you've been tired for a long, long time
And oh little one I ain't been around a little while
But when you see me, wait

Oh little one your Hemingway jawline looks just like his
Our father in exile
For God only knows how many years
But when you see him, wait
through double pain
I'll be with you lost boys
Sneaking out where the shivers won't find you

Oh little one I'd tell you good news that I don't believe
If it would help you sleep
Strange mercy

If I ever meet that dirty policeman who roughed you up
No I don't know what
If I ever meet that dirty policeman who roughed you up

I'll be with you lost boys
Sneaking out where the shivers won't find you.


6. Wild Flag Album 'Wild Flag' - track 'Romance'



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8J8n9R8rnB8

Hey, hey, can you feel it? The way it sways you,
The hum in your chest?
You make my feet move, you turn my head loose
That's why I love you the best

Hey, you fill up the spaces, those empty places
The corners and cracks
You kill my sickness, my only witness
You're all that I have

Hands down we like, we like what we like
Hands down we like, we love, we choose you
We've got an eye, an eye for what's romance
We've got our eyes, our eyes trained on you
You watch us dance, we dance 'til we're dying
We dance to free ourselves from the room
We love the sound, the sound is what found us
Sound is the blood between me and you

Back when I had no story, nothing to form me
You got under my skin
You were my maker, my re-creator
My reason to live

Can't stop the bleeding or this leaving
Though I've tried
And when I return, with them fresh burns
You're waiting inside

Hey, you've got me crawling
You've got me spinning
Shake, shimmy shake
First you wreck me, then resurrect me, it's too much

Hands down we like, we like what we like
Hands down we like, we love, we choose you
We've got an eye, an eye for what's romance
We've got our eyes, our eyes trained on you
You watch us dance, we dance 'til we're dying
We dance to free ourselves from the room
We love the sound, the sound is what found us
Sound is the blood between me and you

Hands down we like, we like what we like
Hands down we like, we love, we choose you
We've got an ear, an ear for what's romance
We've got our ears, our ears trained on you
You watch us sing, we sing till we're crying
We sing to free ourselves from the room
We love the sound, the sound is what found us
Sound is the love between me and you

7. PJ Harvey Album 'Let England Shake' track 'Let England Shake'



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7mcM9kWPHw

The West's asleep,
Let England shake,
Weighted down
With silent dead.
I fear our blood
Won't rise again.
Won't rise again.

England's dancing days are done.
Another day, Bobby, for you to come
Home & tell me indifference
Has won, won, won.

Smile, smile Bobby, with your lovely mouth.
Pack up your troubles, let's head out,
To the fountain
Of death and splash about,
Swim back, forth, back, back, laugh out loud.

Until the day is ending,
And the birds are silent,
And the insects are courting.
By the shores,
Heavy stones,
Are falling.

Smile, smile Bobby, with your lovely mouth.
Pack up your troubles, and let's head out
To the fountain
Of death and splash about,
Swim back, forth, back, back, laugh out loud.

8. Owen Pallett - 'Heartland' is the album and the track is 'Lewis Takes Off His Shirt'



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNWyXd0cIVo

As soon as I got on the horse, I forgot about the math.
Forgot about the odds against an adolescent standing up to all of Owen's wrath.
The heat of prairie summer, impossible to take.
I grab the hem and lift the fabric over my sweet head.
I know what you're looking for, and I'm never gonna give it to you.
I'm never gonna give it to you.
I'm never gonna give it to you.

Government rule established by a dazzling light show.
A hegemony armoured with a thousand-watt head and seven inches of echo.
I keep up my velocity, my spurs are in her sides.
I don't know what I'm doing, and it is the only way.
Toward the range I'll ride singing, I'm never gonna give it to you.
I'm never gonna give it to you.
I'm never gonna give it to you.

"I am overrated," said the sculptress to the sea.
"I've been praised for all the ways the marble leaves the man,
And I was wrong to try and free him."
And as for me, I am a vector, I am muscle, I am bone.
The sun upon my shoulders and the horse between my legs,
This is all I know.

My senses are bedazzled by the parallax of the road.
I concentrate to keep contained the overflow.
My knuckles grip so tightly, my fingers start to bleed.
If what I have is what you need,

I'm never gonna give it to you.
I'm never gonna give it to you.
I'm never gonna give it to you.

9. Lykke Li (2nd) Album - 'Wounded Rhymes' track - 'I Follow Rivers'



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZYbEL06lEU

Oh I beg you, can I follow
Oh I ask you why not always
Be the ocean where unravel
Be my only, be the water and I'm wading
You're my river running high, run deep run wild

[Chorus]

[Repeat till end]
I, I follow, I follow you deeps sea baby,
I follow you

10. Elbow Album - 'build a rocket boys!' - track - 'Lippy Kids'


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kdIa7aKmJY

Lippy kids on the corner again
Lippy kids on the corner begin settling like crows
Though I never perfected that simian stroll
But the cigarette scent, it was everything then

Do they know those days are golden?
Build a rocket boys!
Build a rocket boys!

One long June I came down from the trees
And cursed on cue
You were freshly painted angel walking on walls
Stealing booze and outlawing hungry kisses

Nobody knew me at home anymore
Build a rocket boys!
Build a rocket boys!

Lippy kids on the corner again
Lippy kids on the corner begin settling like crows
And I never effected that simian stroll, no

Do they know those days are golden?
Build a rocket boys!
Build a rocket boys!

One long June I came down from the trees
And cursed on cue
You were freshly painted angel walking on walls
Stealing booze and outlawing hungry kisses

And nobody knows me at home anymore
Build a rocket boys!
Build a rocket boys!

11. Richmond Fontaine - Album: The High Country; Tracks: 'Let Me Dream of the High Country' and 'The Mechanic Falls in Love with the Girl'


'Let Me Dream of the High Country'

It’s time for him to get up
But he won’t until he’s late
Then he coughs and yells, ‘Oh fuck’
He bangs around and turns on all the lights and
Yells at me for misplacing the keys
That he always leaves some place he can’t find
High Country, please let me dream
He slams the front door
and his truck coughs away
I have an hour until
It’s still dark and the bed is now free
It’s mine and not his
Not in a home that his mother owns
Stuck on some logging road
I’m saving, but until
High Country,
please let me dream of the High Country

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms0wCwhzycA



another track - 'The Mechanic Falls in Love with the Girl'
My dad got sick so I moved back to town but
Month after month it started grinding me down
I should have just stayed away
he never liked me anyway
Even when he was sick
There are so many churches here
and it’s always raining and
At home no one says anything at all,
and what ain’t seen
Is how to be when you feel like
you’ve been set in concrete
I can’t stop thinking about you and the way
you were on the phone that night
Your voice suddenly fell apart with the sound
of his truck coming home
You said once we both had eyes that were dying
But maybe we ain’t dying
Maybe we’re just meant to be
It’s all a wreck and we both know it’s true
But what if you could leave with me and
I could leave with you too
It ain’t always wrong to give up and run

12. Real Estate - Album 'Days' track 'It's Real'



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HWcViTXdYc

I don't know who's behind
The wheel
Sometimes I feel like I don't know
The deal
When I tell you how
I feel
Believe me when I say
It's real

Oh whoa whoa whoa oh oh
Oh whoa whoa whoa oh oh
It's real

I carved our names into
A tree
I walked on decomposing
Leaves
I skated on the frozen
Sea
It's real as far as I
Can see

Oh whoa whoa whoa oh oh
Oh whoa whoa whoa oh oh
It's real

Wasting your days
Chasing some girl's alright.
Chasing cocaine
Through the backrooms of the world all night.
Wasting your days
Chasing some girl's alright.
Chasing cocaine
Through the backrooms of the world all night.

Sounds, Smash Hits, Melody Maker, NME,
All sound like a dream to me.
All sound like a dream to me.
All sounds like a dream...

Step out of your toga and into the fog,
You are a prince on the ocean...
(In a pinch, in the sky, in your eye)
Step out of your toga into the ocean,
Look they got your prints on the fog...

another track - 'Suicide Demo for Kara Walker'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3hkPtQqk08



Brown paper bag, don't stop me now,
I'm on a roll.
Plain brown wrapper in your pocket.
Is it still the invisible man you're consorting with,
Woman?

Now that you got it all...wrong...
You got it all...Backwards Girl.
Enter through the exit and exist through the entrance
When you can.
Seen you consort with your invisible manhole.

Fool child, you're never gonna make it.
New York City just wants to see you naked
(And they will).
Though they'd never say so.
Wise, old, black and dead in the snow:
My southern sister...

"Sister, Sister" was the name of the band.
Flesh and blood, my death close at hand! Sister,
This is not about me and it's not about you, I swear!
No hard feelings, nothing personal, soft sculpture rides the air,
For free...

Words words words...
Longings longings longings...
All in vain...
Just ask Vanity, abandoned out in the rain
By the world, another proud American...

And as proud Americans, we let it slide...away...
Harmless little Negress,
You got to say yes
To another excess...
Let's go for a ride today...

In possession of eyes, that's it...
In possession of eyes, that's it...
A southern bunkhouse, blue skies up above,
A kindly figure of feminine grace and wit passes for love,
These days...

All that slender-wristed white translucent business
Passes for love, these days...
Mushhead genius
Passes for love, these days...

Four more years... Four more years...
Four hundred more years of this shit
(Fuck it)!
I look up I see the North Star, I look up I see the North Star
When I look up at the bar through these tears...

Four white pillars, Yankee-style...
All of America loves to lights his pipes...
All of America live to light his pipe at night...
To which Dixie responds - "Freeeee...

Me..."
And unlashes his sashes...
Again...

Maybe or maybe not ("fast forward" she said)...
Maybe once the seed is sown ("fast forward" she said)...
"This bird has flown south," she said.
"Don't talk about the south," she said.
It's not you, it's nothing personal,
No hard feelings, nothing's there...
Soft sculpture rides hard on the air...

Now that you got it all...wrong...
You got it all...backwards girl...
Enter through the exit and exit through the entrance...

When you can...

14. Feist - album is 'Metals' track here is 'How come you never go there?'



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2uVRMBD5RY

How come you never go there?
How come I’m so alone there?

I went up to the window
Lightning banging on the cymbals
I ripped into the night
Came storm into your eyes

My horse had worked the fields too long
My bear had lost his innate calm
It’s true enough we’re not at peace
But peace is never what it seems

Our love is not the light it was
When I walk inside the dark I’m calm
While we look for where it went
It’s only echoes in the melody

How come you never go there?
How come I’m so alone there?

We waste time on blame and weak revenge
Waste energy on projections
We’re living proof we've got an echo
And stop looking through the halo

We carry on as if the time is through
You carry on as if I don’t love you
And so we find the way to die
To cut the heart out of the doubt now

The room’s full but hearts are empty
Like the letters never sent me
Words are like a lasso
But you’re an instrumental tune

How come you never go there?
How come I’m so alone there?



15. The Drums 'Portamento' is the album - track here is 'Money'



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqYgNiZdfh4

Before I die I'd like to do something nice
Take my hand and I'll take it for a ride
You hit me yesterday because I made you cry
So before I die let me do something nice

I want to buy you something but I don't have any money
I don't have any money

And if I have a car I would trade in my car
If I had a gun I would trade in my gun
and we ran from the country [?] the city
Well there's something to be done [x4]

I want to buy you something but I don't have any money
I don't have any money

16. Handsome Furs - with an album called 'Sound Kapital' - the track is 'Serve The People'



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIKeQTjeo0M

Dog's in the capital howling at dawn
Someone's driving by with the radio on
Someone making noise from the center of town
You kick em in the head and you kick em when they're down
and you don't serve the people

50 million souls living out on the ground
50 million people gonna float gonna drown
From the north, further north where
Kids were making noise when their generators on and the cops said move along
Serve the people
They don't really want to know
They don't serve the people
Keeping everything under control
Oh

And it's diamonds and gold for the idiot sons
All the privileged thieves gonna make things run
Well I believe in heart and apocalypse sound
You kick em in the head and you kick em when they're down
And you don't serve them
You don't serve them
You don't serve the people
No, you don't serve them
No, no, you don't serve the people
Saying oh my god, waiting here so long
I'm feeling changed, I feel a change
Saying oh my god, waiting here so long
I feel a change, I feel a change
And you don't serve them

'Time Of My Life'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Boyl6Iaw2Y4

From the east to the south
I tongue the roof of my mouth
To new days of doubt without you
First gear
I face the trouble ahead
Final word has been said
Long distance spread between us
I tell myself to
Hold on
It won't be long
Till I grow through this struggle
Time to wake up
Find my soul

Happy without you
Happy without you
Happy without you
Happy without you
Happy without you

Not called for weeks now
Six days without sleep means
I am a slave to my early grave
If I do not be brave, behave
Seize myself out of this mess
I have created of myself, yet again
Yet again I say
Hold on
It won't be long
Till I grow through this struggle
Time to wake up
Find my soul

Happy without you
Happy without you
Happy without you
Happy without you
Happy without you

We go on
Heart beats strong
Still whole
Unbroken
As we divide
Our love, goodbye
Thanks for the time
Time of my life

Happy without you
Happy without you
Happy without you
Happy without you

Time
Time
Of my life

Time
Time
Of my life (So happy without you)

Time
Time
Of my life

Thanks for the time of my life (Happy without you)
Happy without you
Happy without you

If you conjure up a fear
Make it loud so I can hear the tambourine
I just want to let you know
I could be your suicide policeman

Don't you go
'Til my eyes have left your face

Everybody hopes and waits
I can't believe
Everybody hopes and waits
I can't relate to my predicament

Brother, if you're feeling low
Tell me one thing I should know of your situation
I could stand out in the hall
I could be your suicide policeman

Arrest your fall
When you're afraid to hit the ground

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBSs3-RfLKk

Finally relax my weary limbs, just lay still
The ceiling undulates, the fault of some strange pill
I see your body in the doorway, so it seems
I must accept my eyes betray these half-dreams

Oh, I need your bedroom eyes
Oh, I need your bedroom eyes
Oh, I need your bedroom eyes
Oh, I need your bedroom eyes

The hours to the sunrise creep, but I don't care
There is no hope for any sleep if you're not here
In another scene, in another bed you're sleeping
So won't you come and visit me when I'm dreaming

Oh, I need your bedroom eyes
Oh, I need your bedroom eyes
Oh, I need your bedroom eyes
Oh, I need your bedroom eyes

I fear that I'll never sleep again
I fear that I'll never sleep again
I fear that I'll never sleep again
I fear that I'll never sleep again

Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh

Oh, I need your bedroom eyes
Oh, I need your bedroom eyes
Oh, I need your bedroom eyes
Oh, I need your bedroom eyes
Oh, I need your bedroom eyes
Oh, I need your bedroom eyes
Oh, I need your bedroom eyes
Oh, I need your bedroom eyes

"Bedroom Eyes" as written by Kristin Gundred

20. The Antlers .. album called 'Burst Apart' - the track is 'I Don't Want Love'

You want to climb up the stairs
I want to push you right down
But I like you inside
So you can push me right now

If I kneel before you
And I won't go unknown
Keep your hands to yourself
When you follow me home

I don't want love
I don't want love

You wake up with open hands
?
I should have helped ?
You slept in my home

So if I see you again
Desperate in stone
Keep your prison lock dead
And I will leave my god at home

I don't want love
I don't want love

"I Don't Want Love" as written by Michael Jay Lerner, Peter Joseph Silberman, Darby Austin Cicci

Plan B - "Writing's On The Wall" (Live at Cafe de Paris)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7s6M_X9T9I

We used to have fun
Now all we do is fight
We know something's wrong
It's clear something hear ain't right

We ain't over but the writing's on the wall
We keep trying just so we can say we gave it all
We ain't over but the writing's on the wall
This time next year, we'll be no more, yeah

Talk about tomorrow, girl
It's only gonna end in tears, baby yeah
Our time is borrowed, girl
All we got left's right here

We used to talk
Now all we do is shout, oh yeah
Our heads full of thoughts
We could both do without

We ain't over but the writing's on the wall
We keep trying just so we can say we gave it all
We ain't over but the writing's on the wall
This time next year, we'll be no more, oh yeah

Talk about tomorrow, girl
It's only gonna end in tears, baby yeah
Our time is borrowed, girl
All we got left's right here, mm mm yeah
All we do is try
Try to make it all okay, baby yeah
We both know it's a waste of time
Things are never gonna change, mm mm

We both know we're hanging on here
But no one's gonna say it
So we'll just carry on like always
Acting like nothing's wrong, yeah

We ain't over but the writing's on the wall
We keep trying just so we can say we gave it all
We ain't over but the writing's on the wall
This time next year, we'll be no more, oh yeah

Talk about tomorrow, girl
It's only gonna end in tears, baby, yeah
Our time is borrowed, girl
All we got left's right here, mm mm yeah
All we do is try
Try to make it all okay, baby yeah
We both know it's a waste of time
Things are never gonna change, oo ooo
They ain't gonna change
No no

We ain't over but the writing's on the wall
We keep trying just so we can say we gave it all
We ain't over but the writing's on the wall
This time next year, we'll be no more

The Stone Roses - "I am the Resurrection"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6QnK0yql8s

Down down, you bring me down
I hear you knocking down my door and I can't sleep at night
Your face, it has no place
No room for you inside my house I need to be alone

Don't waste your words I don't need anything from you
I don't care where you've been or what you plan to do

Turn turn, I wish you'd learn
There's a time and place for everything I've got to get it through
Cut loose, cause you're no use
I couldn't stand another second in your company

Don't waste your words I don't need anything from you
I don't care where you've been or what you plan to do

Stone me, why can't you see
You're a no-one nowhere washed up baby who'd look better dead

Your tongue is far too long
I don't like the way it sucks and slurps upon my every word

Don't waste your words I don't need anything from you
I don't care where you've been or what you plan to do

I am the resurrection and I am the light
I couldn't ever bring myself to hate you as I'd like

I am the resurrection and I am the light
I couldn't ever bring myself to hate you as I'd like

Elbow - "One Day Like This"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfVejpYc8Zc&feature=related

Drinking in the morning sun,
Blinking in the morning sun,
Shaking off the heavy one,
Heavy like a loaded gun.

What made me behave that way?
Using words I never say,
I can only think it must be love.
Oh, anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day

Someone tell me how I feel,
It's silly wrong but vivid right.
Oh, kiss me like the final meal,
Yeah, kiss me like we die tonight.

'Cause Holy Cow, I love your eyes,
And only now I see the light.
Yeah, lying with me half awake,
Oh, anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day.

When my face is chamois-creased,
If you think I'll wink, I did.
Laugh politely at repeats,
Yeah, kiss me when my lips are thin.

'Cause Holy Cow, I love your eyes,
And only now I see the light.
Yeah, lying with me half awake,
Stumbling over what to say.
Well, anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day.

Throw those curtains wide!
One day like this a year'd see me right.
Throw those curtains wide!
One day like this a year'd see me right.
Throw those curtains wide!
One day like this a year'd see me right.
Throw those curtains wide!
One day like this a year'd see me right.
Holy Cow, I love your eyes,
And only now I see you like.
Holy Cow, I love your eyes,
And only now I see you like.Holy Cow, I love your eyes,
And only now I see you like.
Throw those curtains wide!
One day like this a year'd see me right.
Throw those curtains wide!
One day like this a year'd see me right.
Throw those curtains wide!
One day like this a year'd see me right.
Throw those curtains wide!
One day like this a year'd see me right.
Throw those curtains wide!
One day like this a year'd see me right.
Throw those curtains wide!
One day like this a year'd see me right.
Throw those curtains wide!
One day like this a year'd see me right.
Throw those curtains wide!
One day like this a year'd see me right.
Throw those curtains wide!
One day like this a year'd see me right.
