Michael Jackson - "Thriller"



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4V90AmXnguw

[Verse 1:]
It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes,
You're paralyzed

[Chorus:]
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight

[Verse 2:]
You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun
You close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination
But all the while you hear the creature creepin'up behind
You're out of time

[Chorus:]
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
There ain't no second chance against the thing with forty eyes
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting to survive inside a killer, thriller tonight

[Bridge:]
Night creatures call
And the dead start to walk in their masquerade
There's no escapin' the jaws of the alien this time (they're open wide)
This is the end of your life

[Verse 3:]
They're out to get you, there's demons closing in on every side
They will possess you unless you change the number on your dial
Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close together
All thru the night I'll save you from the terrors on the screen,
I'll make you see

[Chorus:]
That it's a thriller, thriller night
'Cause I can thrill you more than any ghost would dare to try
Girl, this is thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, diller, chiller
Thriller here tonight

[Rap - Vincent Price:]
Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorise y'awl's neighbourhood
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpse's shell
The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grizzly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller
Can you dig it?!

[Into maniacal laugh, in deep echo]

Al Green - "Livin' for you" (1974)



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=235pwiLnMs0

I guess there's no good reason for livin'...
But I'll keep on livin' for you, baby...
There's nothing else to do, babe...
But spend my life holding you and lovin' you...

Oh...
If I ask you more than one million times to forgive me...
You think of a reason why...
that you should make me cry (don't make me cry)...
walk out and say goodbye away from me...

Oh...
I'm tired of the bright ideas about leavin' me...
when you know you ain't goin' nowhere...
but here with me...
here with me...
Let me tell you a thing...
stop and think of just how good I've been to you baby...

I'm causin' no trouble for you baby...
this story just can't be true, baby...
how can I convince you, baby...
but just tell you the truth...

I'm livin' for you... givin' for you... waitin' for you...
(lemme tell you what I'm doin'...)
I'm layin' for you... prayin' for you... workin' for you...
(...livin' my life, I tell you that...)
I'm livin' for you... givin' for you... givin' for you...
layin' for you... prayin' for you... workin' for you...
(everything I do I still...)
do with you... (something to) do with you...

Laura Marling - "Rambling Man"


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YXKWOTGskY

Oh naïve little me,
Asking what things you have seen,
And you're vulnerable in your head,
You'll scream and you'll wail 'till you're dead.

Creatures veiled by night,
Following things that aren't right,
And they're tired and they need to be led,
But you'll scream and wail 'till you're dead.

But give me to a rambling man,
Let it always be known that I was who I am.

Beaten battered cold,
My children will live just to grow old,
But if I sit here and weep,
I'll be blown over by the slightest of breeze,
And the weak need to be led,
And the tender are carried to their bed,
And It's a cold and pale affair,
And I'll be dammed if I'll be found there.

But give me to a rambling man,
Let it always be known that I was who I am.

It's funny that the First chords that you come to,
Are the minor notes that come to serenade you,
And it's hard to accept yourself as someone, you don't desire,
As someone you don't want to be.

Oh give me to a rambling man,
Let it always be known that I was who I am,
Oh give me to the rambling man,
Let it always be known that I was who I am.

Dave Matthews Band w/ Al Green - "Take Me To The River"



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTU7THCicXc

I don't know why I love you like I do
After all these changes that you put me through
You stole my money and my cigarettes
And I haven't seen hide nor hair of you yet

I wanna know
Won't you tell me
Am I in love to stay?
Hey hey
Take me to the river
And wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul
Put my feet on the ground

I don't know why she treated me so bad
After all the things that we could have had
Love is a notion that I can't forget
My sweet sixteen I will never regret

I wanna know
Won't you tell me
Am I in love to stay?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Hold me, love me, please me, tease me
Till I can't, till I can't take no more
Take me to the river

I don't know why I love you like I do
After all the things that you put me through
The sixteen candles burning on my wall
Turning me into the biggest fool of them all

I wanna know
Oh won't you tell me
Am I in love to stay?

I wanna know
Take me to the river
I wanna know
I want you to dip me in the water
I wanna know
Won't you wash me in the water
Wash me in the water
Wash me in the water
Won't you wash me in the water
Feeling good

Abba - "Dancing Queen"



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFrGuyw1V8s

You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, diggin' the Dancing Queen

Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come in a King
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance

You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, diggin' the Dancing Queen

You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave them burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance

You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, diggin' the Dancing Queen

Bee Gees - "Stayin Alive"



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

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
I'm a woman's man: no time to talk
Music loud and women warm, I've been kicked around
Since I was born
And now it's all right, I don't care
And you may look the other way
We can try to understand
The new york times' effect on man

Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'
And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive

Well now, I get low and I get high
And if I can't get either, I really try
Got the wings of heaven on my shoes
I'm a dancin' man and I just can't lose
You know it's all right, it's ok
I'll live to see another day
We can try to understand
The new york times' effect on man

Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'
And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive

Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me
Somebody help me, yeah
Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me, yeah

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
I'm a woman's man: no time to talk
Music loud and women warm
I've been kicked around since I was born
And now it's all right, it's ok
And you may look the other way
We can try to understand
The new york times' effect on man

Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'
And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive

Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me
Somebody help me, yeah
Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me, yeah
I'm stayin' alive

Chic - "Le Freak"





Ah Freak out! Le Freak, c'est Chic

Have you heard about the new dance craze?
Listen to us, I'm sure you'll be amazed
Big fun to be had by everyone
It's up to you, It surely can be done
Young and old are doing it, I'm told
Just one try, and you too will be sold
It's called Le Freak! They're doing it night and day
Allow us, we'll show you the way

Ah Freak out! Le Freak, c'est Chic

All that pressure got you down
Has your head spinning all around
Feel the rhythm, check the ride
Come on along and have a real good time
Like the days of stopping at the Savoy
Now we freak, oh what a joy
Just come on down, to fifty four
Find a spot out on the floor

Ah Freak out! Le Freak, c'est Chic

Now Freak!
I said Freak!
Now Freak!

All that pressure got you down
Has your head spinning all around
Feel the rhythm, check the ride
Come on along and have a real good time
Like the days of stopping at the Savoy
Now we freak, oh what a joy
Just come on down, to fifty four
Find a spot out on the floor

Ah Freak out! Le Freak, c'est Chic

Have faith in you and the things you do

Talking Heads - "Once In A Lifetime"



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1wg1DNHbNU

And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself
Well...How did I get here?

Letting the days go by
Let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by
Water flowing underground
Into the blue again
After the money's gone
Once in a lifetime
Water flowing underground

And you may ask yourself
How do I work this?
And you may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife

Letting the days go by
Let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by
Water flowing underground
Into the blue again
After the money's gone
Once in a lifetime
Water flowing underground

Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...

Water dissolving...and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Under the water, carry the water at the bottom of the ocean
Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean

Letting the days go by
Let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by
Water flowing underground
Into the blue again
Into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones
There is water underground

Letting the days go by
Let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by
Water flowing underground
Into the blue again
After the money's gone
Once in a lifetime
Water flowing underground

And you may ask yourself
What is that beautiful house?
And you may ask yourself
Where does that highway go to?
And you may ask yourself
Am I right?...Am I wrong?
And you may say to yourself yourself
My God!...What have I done?!

Letting the days go by
Let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by
Water flowing underground
Into the blue again
Into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones
There is water underground

Letting the days go by
Let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by
Water flowing underground
Into the blue again
After the money's gone
Once in a lifetime
Water flowing underground

Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Look where my hand was
Time isn't holding us
Time isn't after us
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Yeah, the twister comes
Here comes the twister
Same as it ever was...

Mozart - from Le Nozze Di Figaro - Lucia Popp sings "Deh vieni, non tardar"


Lucia Popp "Deh vieni non tardar" (Le Nozze di Figaro - 1980)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3NItbi7PDY

Giunse alfin il momento,
Che godro senz'affanno,
In braccio all'idol mio!
Timide cure! uscite dal mio petto!
A turbar non venite il mio diletto!
O come par, che all'amoroso foco
L'amenita del loco,
La terra e il ciel risponda!
Come la notte i furti miei seconda!

Deh vieni, non tardar, o gioja bella!
Vieni ove amore per goder t'appella!
Finche non splende in ciel notturna face,
Finche l'aria e ancor bruna e il mondo tace.
Qui mormora il ruscel, qui scherza l'aura,
Che col dolce susurro il cor ristaura,
Qui ridono i fioretti e l'erba e fresca,
Ai piaceri d'amor qui tutto adesca.
Vieni, ben mio, tra queste piante ascose!
Vieni, vieni!
Ti vo' la fronte incoronar di rose.
Ti vo' la fronte incoronar, incoronar di rose!

Translation

The moment finally arrives,
Which I'll enjoy without haste,
In the arms of my beloved!
Fearful anxieties, get out of my heart!
Do not come to disturb my delight!
Oh, how it seems that to love's fire
The comfort of the place,
the earth and the sky respond
As the night responds to my ruses!

Oh, come, don't be late, my beautiful joy!
Come where love calls you to enjoyment!
Until night's face [the moon] no longer shines in the sky!
Until the air begins to lighten again
And the world is quiet.
Here the river murmurs and the breeze plays
That restores the heart with sweet ripples.
Here, little flowers laugh and the grass is fresh.
Here, everything entices one to love's pleasures.
Come, my dear, among these hidden plants.
Come, come!
I want to crown your brow with roses.


Text by Lorenzo da Ponte

Mario Del Monaco sings Giacomo Puccini's "Nessun Dorma"



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrJC7l5Pn-k

In Italiano

Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma! Tu pure, o Principessa,
nella tua fredda stanza,
guardi le stelle
che tremano d'amore, e di speranza!
Ma il mio mistero chiuso in me;
il nome mio nessun sapra!
No, No! Sulla tua bocca lo dir quando la luce splende!
Ed il mio bacio sciogliera il silenzio
che ti fa mia!
Il nome suo nessun sapr,
E noi dovrem, ahim, morir, morir!
Dilegua, o notte! Tramontate, stelle!
Tramontate, stelle! All'alba vincero! Vincero! Vincero!"

In English
No-one shall sleep!
No-one shall sleep!
You too, oh Princess,
In your cold room, watch the stars
Trembling with love and hope!

But my secret lies hidden within me,
No-one shall discover my name!
Oh no, I will only reveal it on your lips
When daylight shines forth!

And my kiss shall break
The silence that makes you mine!

[Choir:]
No-one shall discover her name!
And we will, alas, have to die, to die!

Depart, oh night!
Set, you stars!
Set, you stars!
At dawn I shall win!
I shall win! I shall win!

Vanilla Fudge - "You Keep Me Hanging On"


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdLRoOYk50o

Set me free
Why don't you babe?
Get off my life
Why don't you babe?

You really don't want me
You just keep me hangin' on
You really don't need me
You just keep me hangin' on

Why do you keep comin' around
Playing with my heart?
Why don't you get out of my life
When seeing you only breaks my heart again?

And there ain't nothing
I can do about it

You know I need love
(Set me free, why don't you babe?)
Talkin 'bout love
(Get off my life, why don't you babe?)

You really don't want me
You just keep me hangin' on

Get off my life
Why don't you babe?
Get off my life
Why don't you babe?

Something Corporate - "Konstantine"



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvmaK5n1zg0

I can't imagine all the people that you know
And the places that you go
When the lights are turned down low
And I don't understand
All the things you've seen
But I'm slipping in between
You and your big... dreams
It's always you and my big dreams

And you tell me
That it's over
But I can't stand here in a patch of four leaf clover
And your restless
And I'm naked
You've got to get out
You can't stand to see me shaking
No, could you let me go
I didn't think so

And you don't want to be here in the future
So you say
The present's just a pleasant
Interruption to the past
And you don't want to look much closer
'Cause you're afraid to find out all the hope
That you had sent into the sky by now had... crashed
And it did because of me

And then you bring me home
Afraid to find out that you're alone, no
And I'm sleeping in your living room
But we don't have much room
To live

And I had dreams that I would learn to play guitar
Maybe cross the country
Become a rockstar
And there was hope in me
That I could take you there
But dammit you're so young
But I don't think I care
And if I hurt you then I'm sorry
Please don't think that this was easy

And then you bring me home
'Cause we both know what its like to be alone, no
And I'm dreaming in your living room
But we don't have much room
To live

Konstantine came walking down the stairs
Doesn't she look good
Standing in her underwear?
And I've been thinking, and I've thinking, no
But she's been drinking
And it doesn't get me anywhere

My Konstantine came walking down the stairs
And all that I could do
Was touch her long blond hair
And I was thinking, what I was thinking ya know
We've been drinking and it doesn't get me anywhere

This is because I can spell confusion with a K
and I like it
It's to dying in another's arms
And why I had to try it
It's to jimmy eat world
And those nights in my car
But this time I'm alone, and I don't see those stars
I'm not your star?
Isn't that what you said
What you thought this song meant
You thought this song meant

And if this is what it takes
Just to lie in my mistakes
And live with what I did to you
And all the hell I put you through
I always catch the clock it's 11:11
And now you want to talk
It's not hard to dream
You'll always be my Konstantine

They'll never hurt you like I do
No, They'll never hurt you like I do
No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No

This is to a girl who got into my head
With all these pretty things she did
Hey Baby, You know that you keep me up in bed
It's to a girl who got into my head
With all the fucked up things I did
Hey maybe baby, you could keep me up in bed
My Konstantine

Spin around me like a dream
We played out on this movie screen
And I said,
Did you know I miss you
Did you know I miss you
Did you know I miss you
Did you know I miss you
Did you know I miss you
Did you know I miss you
Did you know I miss you

God, I miss you

And then you bring me home
And we'll go to sleep but this time not alone, no no,
And you'll kiss me in your living room, oh
And you see, no, that I've been missing in my Living room
Cause this is what I miss, what I miss
We don't have much room
I said, does anybody need that room?
Because we all need a little more room
To live

My Konstantine

Ray LaMontagne - "I Still Care For You"



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JODKEqp4nYI

Hear me out.
Day follows day,
Light turns to clay in my hands.

How to explain,
So pristine the pain.
Kindness made the cut so clean

I still care for you.
I still care for you.
I still care for you.

Hear me out
You wanted to me to be
Less your love than a mirror

Can't you see
What you mean to me?
Even promises may bleed.

I still care for you.
I still care for you.
I still care for you.

The hours grow
Heavy,
And hollow,
Cruel as a grave
Me and you finally
Knows when to die.

I still care for you.
I still care for you.
I still care for you.










---------------------------
Open
Me
You'll find
Only bones burned to glass.

I still care for you.
I still care for you.
I still care for you.

Are you all right?
All of a sudden you went away
Are you all right?
I hope you come back around someday.
Are you all right?
I haven't seen you in a real long time.
Are you all right?
Could you give me some kind of sign?
Are you all right?
I looked around me and you were gone.
Are you all right?
I feel like there must be something wrong.
Are you all right?
Cause it seems like you disappeared.
Are you all right?
Cause I've been feeling a little scared.
Are you all right?

Are you sleeping through the night?
Do you have someone to hold you tight?
Do you have someone to hang out with?
Do you have someone to hug & kiss you?
Hug & kiss you
Hug & kiss you
Are you all right?

Are you all right?
Is there something been bothering you?
Are you all right?
I wish you'd give me a little clue.
Are you all right?
Is there something you want to say?
Are you all right?
Just tell me that you're OK.
Are you all right?
Cause you took off without a word.
Are you all right?
You flew away like a little bird.
Are you all right?
Is there anything I can do?
Are you all right?
Cause I need to hear from you.
Are you all right?

Are you sleeping through the night?
Do you have someone to hold you tight?
Do you have someone to hang out with?
Do you have someone to hug & kiss you?
Hug & kiss you
Hug & kiss you

Are you all right?

Are you all right?

Are you all right?

Andrew McMahon - "All Our Lives"



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

I saw this old friend at the Eveleigh bar
Life hadn't treated him so well
A heart so gold, and words so blue
In a body home from hell

He said, "If I could tell you one thing, I would tell you this:
There's only one mistake that I have made
It's giving up the music in my fingertips
By trying to get to heaven through my veins."

All our lives
I watched you search beneath the fallen skies
This was no path to glory
You always walked before me
But you came back to warn me
All our lives

I saw this woman with tears in her eyes
Driving beside me yesterday
She turned her head, then I turned mine
And I watched her drive away

I thought, if I could tell her something, I would tell her this
There's only two mistakes that I have made
It's running from the people who could love me best
And trying to fix a world that I can't change

All our lives
I watched you search beneath the fallen skies
This was no path to glory
You always walked before me
But you came back to warn me
All our lives

I remember being young and staring at my hands
In the middle of the night, the first light of the morning
My room like a church, voices down the hall
I barely made 'em out, but sometimes you don't want to know
Now that I'm older, I can tell you this
The mornings I miss, but I don't really miss the voices
You've got a choice, I've got the hands
Skeletons and plans, you've got to let 'em go

All our lives
I watched you search beneath the fallen skies

All our lives
I watched you search beneath the fallen skies
This was no path to glory
You always walked before me
But you came back to warn me
All our lives

All our lives
I watched you search beneath the fallen skies
This was no path to glory
You always walked before me
But you came back to warn me
All our lives

Ryan Adams - "Desire"



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdVljYP7o08

Two hearts fading, like a flower.
And all this waiting, for the power.
For some answer, to this fire.
Sinking slowly.
The water as higher.
Desire
Desire

With no secrets.
No obsession.
This time I'm speeding with no direction.
Without a reason.
What is this fire?
Burning slowly.
My one and only.
Desire
Desire
Desire
Desire

You know me.
You don't mind waiting.
You just can't show me, but God I'm praying,
That you'll find me, and that you'll see me,
That you run and never tire.
Desire
Desire
Desire
Desire

Andrew McMahon - "High Dive"



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyxvYwCH524

I took the train home, facing backwards
Another hopeless chase
Echo Park, Indian summer
I wrote a new song about your new life
Like steps I retrace
Block letters in your little black notebook, yeah

Flashbacks get me close, I'm almost there

Headlights in the driveway
You stand in the window waiting
The stars are out tonight
One million fires burning
Out there on the high dive
You dance with your headphones on
And I could watch you all night long
Dancing to someone else's song
Oh, dancing to someone else's song
Oh, dancing to someone else's

A black jacket, a blue motorbike
Pass the mission in the moonlight
Teenagers in the alley kissing
Smell of gas burn, saw your street sign
I'm doing eighty in a forty-five
Throwing shadows you could hear if you listen, yeah

Flashbacks get me close, I'm almost there

Headlights in the driveway
You stand in the window waiting
The stars are out tonight
One million fires burning
Out there on the high dive
You dance with your headphones on
And I could watch you all night long
Dancing to someone else's song
Oh, dancing to someone else's song
Oh, dancing to someone else's

Flashbacks get me close
But I was staring at someone else's

Headlights in your driveway
You stand in the window waiting
The stars are out tonight
One million fires burning
Meet me on the high dive
You'll dance with your headphones on
So I could watch you all night long
Dancing to someone else's song (song)
Oh, dancing to someone else's song (song)
Oh, dancing to someone else's song
Someone else's song, to someone else's song
To someone else's, someone else's, someone else's song

Andrew McMahon - "Cecilia And The Satellite"



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

I lock myself in a hotel room,
Been waiting all night for the walls to move.
I've loved some girls that I barely knew.
I've made some friends, and I've lost some too.
Crashed my car, I was 17,
My mother in the seat riding next to me.
The things I've learned from a broken mirror,
How a face can change when a heart knows fear.
Through all the things my eyes have seen,
The best by far is you.

If I could fly,
Then I would know,
What life looks like from up above and down below.
I'd keep you safe,
I'd keep you dry,
Don't be afraid Cecilia.
I'm the satellite,
And you're the sky.

Oh,Oh etc.

I've café crawled through Amsterdam.
I've been around the world with a punk rock band,
And I've seen London, and I've played Japan.
I've been knocked down, I got up again.
For all the places I have been,
I'm no place without you.
If I could fly,
Then I would know,
What life looks like from up above and down below.
I'd keep you safe,
I'd keep you dry,
Don't be afraid Cecilia.
I'm the satellite,
And you're the sky.

Oh,Oh etc.

I'm the satellite,
And you're the sky.

For all the things my hands have held,
The best by far is you.
If I could fly,
Then I would know,
What life looks like from up above and down below.
I'd keep you safe,
I'd keep you dry,
Don't be afraid Cecilia.
I'm the satellite,
And you're the sky.

Oh,Oh etc.

And you're the sky

Oh,Oh etc.

I'm the satellite
And you're the sky

Oh,Oh etc.

And you're the sky.

And you're the sky.

Terry Callier - "Ordinary Joe'



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0YOb5IC1js

And for my opening line
I'm not trying to indicate my state of mind.
I turn you on,
I tell you that I'm laughing just to keep from crying
Pretty music when you hear it,
Keep on trying to get near it.
A little rhythm for your spirit
Oh but that's what it's for
Come on in, here's the door

And I've seen a sparrow get high
And waste his time in the sky
He thinks it's easy to fly
He's just a little bit freer than I

Now here's a mystery
And maybe you can help to make it clear to me
When you're fast asleep
Then what is it that's lighting up the dreams you see
Only your tears can't conceal it
And only your prayers may not reveal it
You've got soul so you can feel it
And when you make the scene
Well you know what I mean

Hey, I've seen a sparrow get high
And waste his time in the sky
He thinks it's easy to fly
He's just a little bit freer than I

Down here on the ground
When you find folks are giving you the runaround
Keep your game uptight
And if you must just take your secrets underground
Now politicians are trying to speech you
Mad color watchers are trying to teach you
Very few will really try to reach you
If you're lost in a stack
That's OK, come all black

Now I'd be the last to deny
That I'm just an average guy
And don't you know each little bird in the sky
Is just a little bit freer than I

Hey ordinary Joe
Although they say you're just a lazy so-and-so
What they think is real
Is nothing but an animated puppet show
So don't let time and space confuse you
And don't let name and form abuse you
Let that Big Joe Williams blues you
In the light of the sun you can see how they burn

Oh I've seen a sparrow get high
And waste his time in the sky
He thinks it's easy to fly
He's just a little bit freer than i

Ima Robot - "Greenback Boogie"



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Slgj96aXgQk

See the money wanna stay, for your meal
Get another piece of pie, for your wife
Everybody wanna know, how it feel
Everybody wanna see, what it's like
Baby wanna be a queen, well alright
We all deserve the finer things, in this life
...
...

So working on a little job, in the night
It's forty dollars an hour when I, see the light
The boss say you got a little time, and oh my
He'll be working in a small box, 'til he die
Me, I gotta be free, all my life
I want a little cream cheese, in my pie

Alright...

Yeah! I'll step back, while you go dance
The greenback boogie
Mother f*ing boogie

Now I'm putting on a big wig, walking hard
Hanging with them big pigs, all them dogs
Got me a couple ideas, straight from God
I want a bean pie
Order me a bean pie
I'll even eat a bean pie, I don't mind
Me and Missy is so very busy busy making money

Alright...

All step back, I'm 'bout to dance
The greenback boogie
The greenback boogie
Boogie for me now
...
...
...

Say, it's far better, when you give it away
It's called the greenback boogie
What people don't say, I say

It's better, when you give it away
It's called the greenback boogie
Don't give it all away now, I say
It's better, when you give it away
It's called the greenback boogie
Don't give it all away now, I say

See the money wanna stay, for your meal
I'll say it's gonna put some love, in your life
Don't you really wanna know, how it feel?
Everybody wanna see, what it's like
Babe you wanna be inside, it ain't lies
We all know there's better things in this life

Yes I'll step out, for your last dance
Doin' the greenback boogie
Mother f*ing boogie
Boogie oogie oogie
Greenback Boogie

Come on back to paradise
Come on back to paradise
Come on back to paradise
Come on back to...
Come on back to...
Come on back to paradise
Come on back to paradise
Come on back to paradise
Come on back to...
Come on back to...

It's the greenback boogie
It's the greenback boogie
Don't give it all away now
Don't give it all away now, I say

It's better, when you greenback boogie
Well don't give it all away
Well don't give it all away, I say

It's better...
It's the greenback boogie
Don't give it all away...

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - "Red Right Hand"



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrxePKps87k

Take a little walk to the edge of town
Go across the tracks
Where the viaduct looms,
Like a bird of doom
As it shifts and cracks
Where secrets lie in the border fires,
In the humming wires
Hey man, you know
You're never coming back
Past the square, past the bridge,
past the mills, past the stacks
On a gathering storm comes
A tall handsome man
In a dusty black coat with
A red right hand

He'll wrap you in his arms,
Tell you that you've been a good boy
He'll rekindle all the dreams
It took you a lifetime to destroy
He'll reach deep into the hole,
Heal your shrinking soul,
But there won't be a single thing
That you can do
He's a god, he's a man,
He's a ghost, he's a guru
They're whispering his name
Through this disappearing land
But hidden in his coat
Is a red right hand

You don't have no money?
He'll get you some
You don't have no car?
He'll get you one
You don't have no self-respect,
You feel like an insect
Well don't you worry buddy,
'Cause here he comes
Through the ghettos and the barrio
And the bowery and the slum
A shadow is cast wherever he stands
Stacks of green paper in his
Red right hand

You'll see him in your nightmares,
You'll see him in your dreams
He'll appear out of nowhere but
He ain't what he seems
You'll see him in your head,
On the TV screen
And hey buddy, I'm warning
You to turn it off
He's a ghost, he's a god,
He's a man, he's a guru
You're one microscopic cog
In his catastrophic plan
Designed and directed by
His red right hand

Brandi Carlile - "Keep Your Heart Young"



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjlLQSsWVv4

My grandpa gave me a wheat penny and I kept it in my pocket
Had big plans in my backyard to build me a space rocket
Talked to my brother on a fake CB that I made from a tic-tac box
Packed my snowballs nice and tight and in the middle I put rocks

Don't trade in your tic-tac box for a ball on the end of the chain
And don't go spending grandpa's pennies buying into the game
You gotta keep your heart young
Don't go growin' old before your time has come
You can't take back what you have done
You gotta keep your heart young

Dad took the wheels off of my bike and he pushed me down a hill
But speed got the best of me and I took my first spill
That was back when alcohol was only used on cuts
Stung like hell so I jerked my leg and mama said it would give me guts

Don't trade in your tic-tac box for a ball on the end of the chain
And don't go spending grandpa's pennies buying into the game
You gotta keep your heart young
Don't go growing old before your time has come
You can't take back what you have done
You gotta keep your heart young

So take a picture of the one you love and put it in a locket
Go dig up your time capsule and the blueprints for your rocket
Keep in touch on a fake CB and that same old tic-tac box
Pack your snowballs a little less tight but in the middle: still put rocks

And keep your heart young
Don't go growing old before your time has come
You can't take back what you have done
You gotta keep your heart young

You gotta keep your heart young
Sometimes you don't die quick
Just like you wished you'd done
The love is a loaded gun
You've gotta keep your heart young
You can't take back what you have done
You gotta keep your heart young

Wildbirds & Peacedrums - "Peeling Off the Layers"



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzfg8ziVInI

There in the day come to me
Straight into my arms
I try to hold it
But it just ran through my fingers
The ocean
They come to me
Straight into my arms
I tried to caress it
But it rand right through my fingers

Water will keep running
And rivers will turn
(x3)

So how can I ever find
What I'm looking for?
When it's been closer
Stuck at the nights
The wind blows from north to south
But I'm still where I was
Keep taking some shirts off
And taking them off

Peel off the layers
Peel it off
Peel off the layers
Peel it off
Peel off the layers
Peel it off
Peel off the layers
Peel it off

I wish I could find a cure
And to know my disease
But like nothing is heard of
The circle of all of life
And let you carry me to the other side
There is looking just like this
With the sink on the open

Everything is so far
Leaking about
Everything is so far
Leaking about
Everything is so far
Leaking about
Everything is so far
Leaking about

Robert Palmer - Woke Up Laughing



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdWTy9TwvZ8

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3jCNDj9r9I

I ran to the window as fast as could be
I thought you were somebody else
I thought you were me
I thought I had lost everything and found you instead
I fell fast asleep in your arms I woke up in bed

I was waiting for you
I was sat in the sun
I could picture your face on the tip of my tongue
I woke up laughing
I broke into a sweat
I broke into a run
You were hot in my heels so I hired a gun
I woke up laughing
I was flat on my back
I was taking a plunge
It was making a stand but my plan was undone
I woke up laughing
Well I planned an escape for the middle of june
But I drug too fast and I fire too soon
I woke up laughing
Woke up laughing

You make yourself a fortune, out in hong kong
You sit at home and wonder whether you were wrong
You take a small vacation just to keep sane
You find on your return your home has blown away
You meditate, you make haste
You run a risk, you come late,
You pay a bill, you lose face
You're not fully unaware
Your star or your fate
If you fall do you break
You go to war, you make love
You sign out in a box

[Repeat whole song]

Robert Palmer - "True Love"



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6PVBmw3hsU

If I'm not mistaken my whole universe was shaken when I fell for you
'Coz all the stars collided when I held you in my arms
I knew you were the one
I was searching for perfection babe
But love is the exception that proves all the rules
There's a sensuality that only you have shown to me that steals my breath away

And by the way baby if there's something that I care about it's
True love
And no matter where you are, you are my
True love
And I thank the lucky stars above for
True love
There was never any doubt about it
True love

(and it's you love)

Total satisfaction - irresistible attraction
I got no excuse
I live in anticipation of your unforeseen temptations
What you gonna do?
I don't have an explanation
You're the only invitation I cannot refuse
And handsome is as handsome does
And you win hands down baby doll
You got it nailed
And by the way baby

It don't matter where you are, you are my
True love
There was never any doubt about it
True love
And I thank the lucky stars above for
True love
If there's one thing I can't live without it's
True love
(and it's you love)

If I'm not mistaken my whole universe was shaken when I fell for you
'Coz all the stars collided when I held you in my arms
I knew you were the one
And by the way baby

If there's something that I care about it's
True love
And no matter where you are, you are my
True love
And I thank the lucky stars above for
True love
There was never any doubt about it
True love

All the tragedy and irony of
True love
All the agony and ecstasy of
True love
It don't matter where you are, you are my
True love
There was never any doubt about it
True love

It don't matter where you are, you are my true love
There was never any doubt about it
True love
And I thank the lucky stars above for
True love
If there's one thing I can't live without

It's true love

If there's something that I care about
It's True love
And no matter where you are, you are my true love

Bruce Springsteen & The East Street Band - 'Trapped"



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2eE9H7Nzww

Well it seems like I'm caught up in your trap again
And it seems like I'll be wearin' the same ol' chains
Good will conquer evil and the truth will set you free
And I know someday I'll find the key
Then I know somewhere I will find the key
Well it seems like I've been playin' the game way too long
And it seems the game I played has made you strong
Well when the game is over, I won't walk out the loser
And I know that I'll walk out of here again
And I know someday I'll walk out of here again

But now I'm trapped! Ooh yeah!
Trapped! Ooh yeah yeah!
Trapped! Ooh yeah!
Trapped! Ooh yeahhh!

Now it seems like I've been sleepin' in your bed too long
And it seems like you've been meanin' to do me harm
But I'll teach my eyes to see beyond these walls in front of me
And someday I'll walk out of here again
Yeah I know someday I'll walk out of here again

But now I'm trapped! Ooh yeah!
Trapped! Ooh yeah yeah!
Trapped! Ooh yeah!
Trapped! Ooh yeahhh!

Now it seems like I've been playin' your game way too long
And it seems the game I played has made you strong

Because I'm trapped! Ooh yeah!
Trapped! Ooh yeah yeah!
Trapped! Ooh yeah!
Trapped! Ooh yeahhh!

I'm trapped! Ooh yeah!
Trapped! Ooh yeahhh!
Trapped! Ooh yeah!
Trapped! Ooh yeahhh!
I'm trapped

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - "Into My Arms"



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FG0-cncMpt8

I don't believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Not to touch a hair on your head
To leave you as you are
And if He felt He had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

And I don't believe in the existence of angels
But looking at you I wonder if that's true
But if I did I would summon them together
And ask them to watch over you
To each burn a candle for you
To make bright and clear your path
And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love
And guide you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

And I believe in Love
And I know that you do too
And I believe in some kind of path
That we can walk down, me and you
So keep your candles burning
And make her journey bright and pure
That she will keep returning
Always and evermore

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

Canned Heat - "On The Road Again"



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRKNw477onU

Well, I'm so tired of crying, but I'm out
on the road again.
- I'm on the road again.
Well, I'm so tired of crying, but I'm out
on the road again.
- I'm on the road again.
I ain't got no woman
Just to call my special friend.
You know the first time I traveled out
in the rain and snow,
- In the rain and snow.
You know the first time I traveled out
in the rain and snow,
- In the rain and snow.
I didn't have no payroll,
Not even no place to go.
And my dear mother left me when
I was quite young,
- When I was quite young.
And my dear mother left me when
I was quite young,
- When I was quite young.
She said "Lord, have mercy
On my wicked son."
Take a hint from me, mama, please
don't you cry no more,
- Don't you cry no more.
Take a hint from me, mama, please
don't you cry no more,
- Don't you cry no more.
'Cause it's soon one morning
Down the road I'm going.
But I aint going down that
long old lonesome road
All by myself.
But I aint going down that
long old lonesome road
All by myself.
I can't carry you, Baby,
Gonna carry somebody else.
