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

Album is 'Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming' - track is 'My Tears Are Becoming A Sea'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjE6c546Kgw
I'm slowly drifting to you
This star is a planet
I culminate
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]
I I follow, I follow you deep sea baby

I follow you
I, I follow, I follow you deeps sea baby,
I follow you

I follow you
[Repeat till end]
I, I follow, I follow you deeps sea baby,
I follow you
I, I follow, I follow you, dark boom honey,
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
[x4]
13. Destroyer - 'Kaputt' eponymous track
http://vimeo.com/18442047
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...
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...
(In a pinch, in the sky, in your eye)
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 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

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
