Regina Spektor - The Call



It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder
Till it was a battle cry
I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye

Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never been this way before
All you can do is try to know who your friends are
As you head off to the war

Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye

You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget

Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
Till they're before your eyes
You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say goodbye

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say goodbye...

Ben Lee - Into The Dark



I'm Feelin' Better
Since I surrendered
You can't Climb
'Till you're ready to fall
You're not a land mine
You're not a gold mine
No you're not mine at all

So tell me baby
Can you hear me?
I sent a message out into the dark
It's a mystery
When you're near me
I've gotta find my way to your heart

I learnt my lesson
First impressions
More often right than wrong
It's not a slow dance
This modern romance
Feels like we've already waited too long

Don't worry baby
'bout how it should be
I sent a message out into the dark
I'd rather talk to you
About how it could be
I've gotta find my way to your heart

Instrumental

I was one of those
Breathing tornadoes
But now I live at the eye of the storm
And it's all faded
Then since the separation
Since I let your love keep me warm

You tell me baby
That you can feel me
I sent a message out into the dark
When I kiss you
That's the real me
I've gotta find my way to your heart

So tell me baby
Can you hear me?
I sent a message out into the dark
It's a mystery
When you're near me
I've gotta find my way to your heart
I've gotta find my way to your heart
I've gotta find my way to your heart

Matisyahu - One Day



Sometimes I lay under the moon
And thank God I'm breathing
Then I pray don't take me soon
Cause I am here for a reason
Sometimes in my tears I drown
But I never let it get me down
So when negativity surrounds
I know someday
It'll all turn around because...
All my life I've been waiting for
I've been praying for
For the people to say
That we don't wanna fight no more
There'll be no more war
And our children will play...
One day, One day, One day, ohhhh
One day, One day, One day, ohhhh
it's not about
win or lose
because we all lose
when they feed on the souls of the innocent
blood drenched pavement
keep on moving though the waters stay raging
in this maze you can lose your way (your way)
it might drive you crazy but dont let it faze you no way (no way)
sometimes in my tears I drown
but I never let it get me down
so my negativity surrounds
I know some day it'll all turn around
because
All my life I've been waiting for
I've been praying for
For the people to say
That we don't wanna fight no more
There'll be no more war
And our children will play...
One day, One day, One day, ohhhh
One day, One day, One day, ohhhh
one day this all will change
stop with the violence, down with the hate
one day we'll all be free,
and brought to be
under the same sun, singing songs of freedom
like
One day, one day, ohhhh
One day, one day, ohhhh
All my life I've been waiting for
I've been praying for
For the people to say
That we don't wanna fight no more
There'll be no more war
And our children will play...
One day, One day, One day, ohhhh
One day, One day, One day, ohhhh

The New Pornographers - All The Old Showstoppers



When John he saw the numbers he lied
Made up the whole thing, failed when he tried
To cash in on his cautious new fame
Always the numbers but never the name

We we hit the numbers we broke
Broken and changed them changed as we spoke
We knew that we would always be down
Hitting the numbers spun way 'round

And somebody beside you
Slipped your head inside the crown
The princes of the paupers
And all the old showstoppers
Till this moment's still unknown

Sirens' songs have tried, too
Yet, she takes you as her own
The princes of the paupers
And all the old showstoppers
Till this moment's still unknown

And when he got the numbers he thought
Thought of his friends who slowed to a halt
Who had questioned to no avail
Some knew the answers, some wouldn't tell

When Gabriel saw the numbers he fell
Fell through the clouds into the great well
But woke up before he hit the ground
No one had noticed still he looked around

And somebody beside you
Slipped your head inside the crown
The princes of the paupers
And all the old showstoppers
Till this moment's still unknown

Sirens' songs have tried, too
Yet, she takes you as her own
The princes of the paupers
And all the old showstoppers
Till this moment's still unknown

With her hand to guide you
You are nothing if not home
The princes of the paupers
And all the old showstoppers
Till this moment's still unknown

The New Pornographers - Adventures In Solitude



Balancing on
One wounded wing
Circling the edge
Of the neverending
The best of the vanished marvels have gathered inside your door

More than begin
But less than forget
But spirits born
From the not happened yet
Gathering there
To pay off a debt brought back from the wars

We thought we lost you
We thought we lost you
We thought we lost you
Welcome back

Sleeping for years
Pick through what is left
Through the pieces that fell and rose from the depth
From the rainwater well
Deep as a secret nobody knows

Less than forget
But more than begun
These adventures in solitude never done
To the names of our wounds
We send the same blood back from the wars

We thought we lost you
We thought we lost you
We thought we lost you
It will all come back

I know you want to
Run far away from one more
And that it's coming at a bad time
Some cold place
Heartless ways
For all we know

I know you need to
Breathe through
Come back
Come too
But it's coming at a bad time
Tangled day
For all we know

I know you want to
Run far away from one more
And that's coming at a bad time
Some cold race
Heartless ways
For all we know

I know you want to
Breathe through
Come back
Come too
But it's coming at a bad time
Old scarred face
Survivor's guilt
For all we know

The Gabe Dixon Band - Find My Way



I don't mean to trouble your mind
I'm just trying to find my way home
Silently I'm seeking a kind of a way to get by on my own

Downtown Saturday
In a better way
Than I ever was before
Don't need anyone
Standing in my sun
Don't need that anymore

Well it's a long way I know
And there's no one way to go
But it's all gonna show in the end

I got to find my way, find my way
Find my way home
I got to find my way, find my way
Find my way home

All those plans that I made for myself
I've got nobody else to lean on
Gone so far with my head in the clouds
Now it's time to come down and be gone

Downtown Saturday
In a better way
Than I ever was before
Don't need anyone
Standing in my sun
Don't need that anymore

All the time in the world
And everything I'll have heard
You know it's all in a word, destiny

I got to find my way, find my way
Find my way home
I got to find my way, find my way
Find my way home

Suzanne Vega - Gypsy



You come from far away
With pictures in your eyes
Of coffeeshops and morning streets
In the blue and silent sunrise
But night is the cathedral
Where we recognized the sign
We strangers know each other now
As part of the whole design


Oh, hold me like a baby
That will not fall asleep
Curl me up inside you
And let me hear you through the heat


You are the jester of this courtyard
With a smile like a girl's
Distracted by the women
With the dimples and the curls
By the pretty and the mischievous
By the timid and the blessed
By the blowing skirts of ladies
Who promise to gather you to their breast


Oh, hold me like a baby...


You have hands of raining water
And that earring in your ear
The wisdom on your face
Denies the number of your years
With the fingers of the potter
And the laughing tale of the fool
The arranger of disorder
With your strange and simple rules
Yes now I've met me another spinner
Of strange and gauzy threads
With a long and slender body
And a bump upon the head


Oh, hold me like a baby...


With a long and slender body
And the sweetest softest hands
And we'll blow away forever soon
And go on to different lands
And please do not ever look for me
But with me you will stay
And you will hear yourself in song
Blowing by one day


Oh, hold me like a baby...

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Zero



Shake it like a ladder to the sun
Makes me feel like a madman on the run
Find me, never, never far gone
So get your leather, leather, leather on, on, on, on

Your zero
What's your name?
No one's going to ask you
Better find out where they want you to go

Try and hit the spot
Get to know it in the dark
Get to know it whether you're
Crying, crying, crying, oh, oh
Can you climb, climb, climb higher?

Shake it like a ladder to the sun
Makes me feel like a madman on the run

Better find out where they want you to go

Try and hit the spot
Get to know it in the dark
Get to know it whether you're
Crying, crying, crying, oh, oh
Can you climb, climb, climb higher?

Was it the cure?
Shellshock!

Hope not!

Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) - Long As I Can See The Light



Put a candle in the window, cause I feel Ive got to move.
Though Im going, going, Ill be coming home soon,
long as I can see the light.

Pack my bag and lets get movin, cause Im bound to drift a while.
When Im gone, gone, you dont have to worry long,
long as I can see the light.

Guess Ive got that old travlin bone, cause this feelin wont leave me alone.
But I wont, wont be losin my way, no, no
long as I can see the light.

Yeah! yeah! yeah! oh, yeah!

Put a candle in the window, cause I feel Ive got to move.
Though Im going, going, Ill be coming home soon,

Long as I can see the light.
Long as I can see the light.
Long as I can see the light.
Long as I can see the light.
Long as I can see the light.

A Flock of Seagulls - I Ran



I walked along the avenue.
I never thought Id meet a girl like you;
Meet a girl like you.
With auburn hair and tawny eyes;
The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through;
Hypnotize me through.

And I ran, I ran so far away.
I just ran, I ran all night and day.
I couldnt get away.

A cloud appears above your head;
A beam of light comes shining down on you,
Shining down on you.
The cloud is moving nearer still.
Aurora borealis comes in view;
Aurora comes in view.

And I ran, I ran so far away.
I just ran, I ran all night and day.
I couldnt get away.

Reached out a hand to touch your face;
Youre slowly disappearing from my view;
Disappearing from my view.
Reached out a hand to try again;
Im floating in a beam of light with you;
A beam of light with you.

And I ran, I ran so far away.
I just ran, I ran all night and day.
I couldnt get away.

Madeleine Peyroux - Instead



Instead of feeling bad
Be glad you got somewhere to go
Instead of feeling sad
Be happy you're not all alone
Instead of feeling low
Get high on everything you love
Instead of wastin' time
Feel good 'bout what you are dreaming of

Instead of trying to win something you never understood
Just play the game you know eventually you will you both look good

It's silly to pretend to have something you don't own
Just let her be a woman and you'll be her man

Instead of feelin' broke
Buck up and get yourself in the black
Instead of losing hope
Touch up the things that feel out of whack
Instead of being old
Be young because you know you are
Instead of feeling cold
Let sunshine into your heart

Instead of acting crazy chasing things that make you mad
Keep your heart ahead, it'll lead you back to what you have
With every step you are closer to the place you need to be
It's up to you to let her love you sweetly

Instead of acting crazy chasing things that make you mad
Just keep your heart ahead, it'll lead you back to what you have
With every step you are closer to the place you need to be
But it's up to you to let her love you sweetly

Instead of feeling bad
Be glad you got someone to love
Instead of feeling sad
Be happy there's a god above
Instead of feeling 'lone
Remember you are never on your own
Instead of feeling sad
Be happy that she's there at home
She's waitin' for by the phone
So be glad she all your own

Get happy...
Watin' for you by the telephone...

Don't get...

Back home,,,

Simon & Garfunkel - The Sound Of Silence



Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a streetlamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
No one dare
Disturb the sound of silence

"Fools," said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence"

Taylor Swift - Love Story



We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air

I see the lights
See the party, the ballgowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And say hello
Little did I know

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes

So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while

'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes
Romeo save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's so real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes

Oh oh

I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town and I said

Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said

Marry me Juliet, you'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story, baby, just say yes

Oh oh
Oh oh oh

'Cause we were both young when I first saw you

Eric Bibb - Pockets



I got a pocket for my keys
A pocket for my cash
One for my ticket in case I got to leave town fast
My favorite pocket
You know the one Im thinkin of
Is the pocket in my heart for your love
The pocket in my heart for your love.

I got a pocket for my pen
One for my book
A pocket for my glasses when I got to get a better look
But my favorite pocket
Said it from the start
Is the pocket for your love inside my heart
The pocket for your love inside my heart.

Before I met you baby
I had a pocket full of cares
Last time I looked
There wasnt any there.

I got a pocket for my comb
A pocket for my candy bar
One for my passport when Im travelin that far
But my favorite pocket
Fits just like a glove
Is the pocket in my heart for your love
The pocket in my heart for your love.

Since I met you baby
Ive been having so much fun
Writin love songs
And this ones almost done.

I got a pocket for my watch
A pocket for my silver flask
One for my wallet with the family photographs
And my favorite pocket,
Said it from the start
Is the pocket for your love inside my heart
The pocket for your love inside my heart.

I got a pocket for my cough drops
A pocket for my handkerchief
Before I gave it up, I had a pocket for my split
And my favorite pocket,
You know the one Im thinking of
Is the pocket in my heart for your love.
The pocket in my heart for your love

Im talking about the love pocket
Love pocket
I got it
Love pocket.

The 88 - All 'Cause of You



I've been sinking through the drain of love
lift my eyes to skies of up above
listen to me this is how I feel
since I knew you all my thoughts are real
you're the only one i wanna do
every thing's new
and it's all 'cause of you

I've been moving cause my heart is true
telling everyone I know bout you
tell your mama that you won't be home
let your daddy know you're not alone

all I wanna do is make you mine
I said i'd love you honey anytime
don't believe the things they say about me
and all those things you know i'd never be
you're the only one i wanna do
every thing's new
and it's all 'cause of you

now honey, honey, honey I can walk, walk, walk
I caught you kneeling in the alley with the baby talk
now listen to me baby if you can't sit still
I know your sister will

there ain't no blood on my hands love
there ain't no blood on my hands love
there ain't no blood on my hands love
the sun is up and I understand it's me

Jimmy Eat World - The Middle



Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out and looked down on
Just try your best
Try everything you can
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away

It just takes some time
Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be alright, alright

Hey, you know they're all the same
You know you're doing better on your own
So don't buy in
Live right now
And just be yourself
It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else

It just takes some time
Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be alright, alright

It just takes some time
Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be alright, alright

It's only in your head you feel left out and looked down on
Just do your best
Do everything you can
And don't you worry what their bitter hearts are gonna say

Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be alright, alright

It just takes some time
Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be alright

Panic At The Disco - Nine In The Afternoon



Back to the street where we began
Feeling as good as lovers can, you know
Yeah, we're feeling so good
Picking up things we shouldn't read
It looks like the end of history as we know
It's just the end of the world
Back to the street where we began
Feeling as good as love, you could, you can

Into a place where thoughts can bloom
Into a room where it's nine in the afternoon
And we know that it could be
And we know that it should
And you know that you feel it too

'Cause it's nine in the afternoon
And your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can so you do
We're feeling so good
Just the way that we do
When it's nine in the afternoon
Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can so you do
We're feeling so good

Back to the street
Down to our feet
Losing the feeling of feeling unique
Do you know what I mean?

Back to the place
Where we used to say
Man, it feels good to feel this way
Now I know what I mean

Back to the street
Back to the place
Back to the room where it all began (WHO???)
Back to the room where it all began

'Cause it's nine in the afternoon
Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can, so you do
We're feeling so good
Just the way that we do
When it's nine in the afternoon
Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can so you do
We're feeling so good
Just the way that we do
When it's nine in the afternoon
Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can so you do
We're feeling so good
Just the way that we do
When it's nine in the afternoon

Schuyler Fisk - Hello



Hello
it's me again
a whole lot's changed
since i left and
i don't know i guess
i felt like checking in

surprise
you let it ring
well it's your turn to
leave me hanging
i don't care
i know you love it
when you see me call

i wonder who you're loving now
i'm guessing we won't work things out

you know what they say
you can't have it so you want it back
i'm way past that
believe me
if you could be in my life
like you've been on my mind
it'd be so easy

hello
it's me again
it's three days now
that you've been in my dreams
and i don't know, i guess
you've just been on my mind
i don't know, i guess
i think about you all the time

i wonder if she's much like me
i wonder if she's what you need

you know what they say
you can't have it so you want it back


i'm way past that
believe me
if you could be in my life
like you've been on my mind
it'd be so easy
i know i'm to blame
but it kills me that
i made you hate me
like you've erased me
and i know what they say
they say you'll be happier
better off without me

i'm sure it's hard to see me
i'm sure you don't believe a word
because you've heard it all before
and we're so far from where we were

(da da da da da dum)

goodbye
i'll let you go
i'll get back to life
and living solo
cause i know i need a few years on my own

you know what they say
you can't have it so you want it back
i'm way past that
believe me
if you could be in my life
like you've been on my mind
it'd be so easy
i know i'm to blame
but it kills me that
i made you hate me
like you've erased me
and i know what they say
they say you'll be happier
better off without me

Ari Hest - Cranberry Lake



Build me a sky
Build me a scape
Build me a rice house on
Cranberry lake
Float on our backs
Drawing figure eights
Drift for miles on
Cranberry lake

I've been dreaming out loud
(But) there's no turning back
turning back now……no

Build me a sunset
With your set of paints
Behind our rice house
On Cranberry lake

Bridge

Tell me a story
(With a) surprise at the end
Build the suspense and then
Kiss me instead
Our bed is patient
As we lay awake
Watching the lights over
Cranberry Lake

I’ve been hoping out loud
But I can’t take it
Take it back now, no

So build me a sunrise
With your set of paints
In front of our rice house
On cranberry Lake

Bridge ooh

I've been dreaming out loud
But there's no turning back now…
So build me a sky
Build me a scape
Build me a rice house on
Cranberry Lake

Eric Burdon - Sixteen Tons (Joe Versus Volcano)



Some people say a man is made outta' mud
A poor man's made outta' muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong

You load sixteen tons, what do ya get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number 9 coal
And the store boss said 'Well, a-bless my soul'

You load sixteen tons, what do ya get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion
Cain't no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line

You load sixteen tons, what do ya get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

If you see me comin', better step aside
A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don't getcha, then the left one will

You load sixteen tons, what do ya get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store.

Owl City - Fireflies



You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
Cuz they fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You think me rude, but I would just stand and stare

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Cuz everything is never as it seems

Cuz I get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they try to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sockhop beneath my bed
The disco ball is just hanging by a thread (thread, thread)

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Cuz everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
Cuz I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep?
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far to tired to fall asleep

To ten million fireflies
I'm weird cuz I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell (said farewell)
But I know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
Cuz I saved a few and I keep 'em in a jar

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Cuz everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Cuz everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams

Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros - Janglin



Well our mama’s they left us
And our daddy’s took a ride
And we walked out of the castle
And we held our head up high
Well we once were the Jesters
In your Kingdom by the sea
And now we’re out to be the masters
For to set our spirits free – set free

(Chorus)
We Want to feel ya!
We don’t mean to kill ya!
We come back to Heal ya – Janglin soul
Edward and the Magnetic Zeros

Well your wartime is Funny
Your guns don’t bother me
I said we’re out to prove the truth of
The man from Galilei
Well your laws are for Dummies, yes
Your institutions dead
I say we’re out to blow the trumpet
To wake you all from bed – from bed

(Chorus)

We carry the mail
We carry it home
We carry the Mail now
We carry it home
Scare up your Letters
Give us your Tails
Blowing like Whale now to
Magnetic Ears
WOW!

(Chorus)

Rocha - Ya No Te Veria Mas



Cuando tu me sonreiste y me tomaste de la mano
y en tus ojos mudos
la verdad
ya no te veria más
preferi seguir girando en espiral
siempre escapando
me negue a aceptar la realidad
que ya no te veria mas

alguna vez
tal vez
intentare
hoy los dias son tan largos
pasan todos sin sentido
y me pone triste al final
que no volvere a verte nunca más
no volvere a verte más

Pink - Please Don't Leave Me



Da da da da, da da da da
Da da da, da da
Da da da, da da

I don't know if I can yell any louder
How many time I've kicked you outta here?
Or said something insulting?
Da da da, da da

I can be so mean when I wanna be
I am capable of really anything
I can cut you into pieces
But my heart is broken
Da da da, da da

Please don't leave me
Please don't leave me
I always say how I don't need you
But it's always gonna come right back to this
Please, don't leave me

How did I become so obnoxious?
What is it with you that makes me act like this?
I've never been this nasty
Da da da, da da

Can't you tell that this is all just a contest?
The one that wins will be the one that hits the hardest
But baby I don't mean it
I mean it, I promise
Da da da, da da

Please don't leave me
Oh please don't leave me
I always say how I don't need you
But it's always gonna come right back to this
Please, don't leave me

I forgot to say out loud how beautiful you really are to me
I cannot be without, you're my perfect little punching bag
And I need you, I'm sorry
Da da da, da da

Da da da da, da da da da
Da da da, da da
Please, please don't leave me
(Da da da, da da)

Baby please don't leave me
(Da da da, da da)
No, don't leave me
Please don't leave me no no no

You say I don't need you
But it's always gonna come right back
It's gonna come right back to this
Please, don't leave me

Please don't leave me, oh no no no.
I always say how I don't need you
But it's always gonna come right back to this

Please don't leave me
Baby, please, please don't leave me

Lovehammers - Trees



I don't wanna go through this life
Without you by my side
And I have got it all worked out
In my head
Here's how it's got to be

It will be you and me up in the trees
And the forest will give us the answers
It'll be you and I up in the sky
Its a combination for disaster

We, we make believe
In a world we rule together
We, can build our dreams
With a knot tied tight to last forever

It will be you and me up in the trees
And the forest will give us the answers
It will be you and I up in the sky
It's a combination for disaster

Yeaa-yeaaa-yeaaa-yea-yea-yea
We got one shot
So let's use our imagination
Yeaa-yeaaa-yeaaa-yea-yea-yea
You're all that I've got
So where do we go from here?

It will be you and me up in the trees
And the forest will give us the answer
It will be you and I up in the sky
It's a combination for disaster

And I know there's more for us in this life
If we hold on
If we hold strong
I know there's more for us in this life
Can we hold on, can we hold on?

Band of Horses - The General Specific



If your trials end, are really getting you down
We had a close call, I didn't even see it, then another one,
I hardly believed it at all.

What the writers say, it means shit to me now.
Plants and animals, we're on a bender when it's 80 degrees,
the end of December was coming on,

Only for
you and me.

When the showing up ends, going back to the south,
where hungry necks that I know, and runnin'
A blender in a lightning storm, disguised as a blessing I'm sure.

Knowing up here, there comes a fork in the road,
pants have gotta go, we're on an island on
The fourth of July, looks like the tide is going home.

In time I'd find a little way to your heart,
down to the general store for nothing specific,
Gonna wash my bones in the Atlantic shore -

only for
you and me

Black Lips - Veni Vidi Vici



Mirror mirror on the wall
Who's the greatest of them all
My man, Muhammad, Boy Jesus too
Who's Messiah be good for you
Cause I came I saw
I conquered all
All ya'll, all ya'll, all ya'll

People look towards Mecca's way
Sistine Cahpel people pray
It don't matter what you do
Holy World War will come for you
Cause I came I saw
I conquered all
All ya'll, all ya'll, all ya'll

Jesse Harris - Light As A Feather



It was never easy, nice and breezy
For me then
You seemed so bold and honest
I got so nervous holding your hand

Can we dream together
Like we did when the night was young?
I’m light as a feather
And my song has just begun

In the bright days of summer
Hiding under your straw hat
You were cold and told me never ever
Talk to you like that

Can we dream together
Like we did when the night was young?
I’m light as a feather
And my song has just begun

Can’t we make it easy?
It’s not hard
It’s not hard

Can we dream together
Like we did when the night was young?
I’m light as a feather
And my song has just begun
And my song has just begun
And my song has just begun

Landon Pigg - Falling in Love at the Coffee Shop



I think that possibly
Maybe I'm falling for you
Yes There's a chance that I've fallen quite hard over you

I've seen the paths that your eyes wander down
I want to come too

I think that possibly
Maybe I'm falling for you

No one understands me quite like you do
Through all of the shadowy corners of me

I never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop I love so much
All of the while I never knew

I never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop I love so much
All of the while I never knew

I think that possibly
Maybe I'm falling for you
Yes there's a chance that I've fallen quite hard over you

I've seen the waters that make your eyes shine
Now I'm shining too

Because
Oh
Because I've fallen quite hard over you

If I didn't know you I'd rather not know
If I couldn't have you I'd rather be alone

I never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop I love so much
All of the while I never knew

I never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop I love so much
All of the while I never knew

All of the while
All of the while
All of the while it was you, you!

David Mead - Last Train Home



The caldwells and the oranges
Footprints on this morning's daily news
Counting down the stations
Crosswords on the nougahyde with you

We spent the day remembering the city
Mixing up our streets and avenues

But now you're fast asleep
And I am so alone
But we're together on the last train
All the towns repeating
Four more stops to go
We're together on the last train home

Catching our reflections
Flickering just like a super 8
Somerset and chatham
Someone in an office working late

And you were softly singing in the kitchen
Washing hands and saving him a plate

But now you're fast asleep
And I am so alone
But we're together on the last train
All the towns repeating
Two more stops to go
We're together on the last train home

Rolling past the orphanage
Oil-colored cars all in a line
Pretty pile of stones ahead
Morristown and convent fall behind

It's quiet in the shadow of the city
Clicking wheels are ticking off the time

But now you're fast asleep
And i am so alone
But we're together on the last train
All the towns repeating
One more stop to go
We're together on the last train home

Now you're fast asleep
And I am so alone
But we're together on the last train
All the towns repeating
No more stops to go
We're together on the last train home
On the last train home

Ben Folds - Gracie




You can’t fool me
I saw you when you came out
You got your momma’s taste
But you got my mouth

You will always have a part of me
Nobody else is ever gonna see
Gracie girl

With your cards to your chest
Walking on your toes
What you got in the box
Only Gracie knows

And I would never try to make you be
Anything you didn’t really wanna be
Gracie girl

Life flies by in seconds
You’re not a baby
Gracie, you’re my friend
You’ll be a lady soon
But until then
You gotta do what I say

You nodded off in my arms watching TV
I won’t move you an inch
Even though my arm’s asleep

One day you’re gonna wanna go
I hope we taught you everything
You need to know
Gracie girl

There will always be a part of me
Nobody else is ever gonna see
But you and me
A little girl
My Gracie girl

Jason Mraz - I'm Yours



Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
Now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
Listen to the music of the moment babay sing with me
I love peace for melody
And It's our God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love loved

So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

Scooch on over closer dear
And i will nibble your ear

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and laughed
I guess what I'm be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue

But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
Please don't, please don't, please don't
There's no need to complicate
Cause our time is short
This oh this this is out fate, I'm yours!

Belle and Sebastian - The Blues Are Still Blue



Look at the kid from school
He's teaching mamas and papas how to be a little cool
He's changing fashion, the way he dress
The tracksuits are old, and the hoody's way too moody
For a kid with the will to funk
He dances in secret; he's a part-time punk

She's getting off the plane
She wants to write a thesis on the population underprivileged
The kids fighting up the lane
Shop lifting, just drifting
Like The Switchblade And The Cross
But if there's trouble she's got the moves
She's taking an elementary class in Kung fu

I left my washing in the launderette
You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet
That when I see my washing
The black will be grey and the white will be grey
But the blues are still blue

I'm crying out for my mum
If the malady don't go away we're in a little trouble
With the boss of the company
I'm a singer, a swinger I'm a layabout but laying on
The dock in the lazy sun
Will never quite relegate me to a bum

I left my lady in the launderette
You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet
That when I see my lady
The black will be white and the white will be black
But The Blues Are Still Blue

Baby, I love your face
I've been creeping round this town because?
Well, creeping's just my way
But with a little wink I'll be there
I'll be excited for a week, but then excitement starts to fade
I know your young, but you're out of touch
You're French, your vocabulary's not quite formed

I left my homework in the launderette
I got a letter from my mamma which my stoopid dog has ate
I hid behind the fence
Here comes the deputy head with the bark of a bulldog
He's not making much sense

I left my lady in the launderette
You can put some money on it, you can place a little bet
That when I see my lady
The black will be white and the white will be black
But the blues are still blue?

Zee Avi - Bitter Heart



Sun rays come down as seen when they hit the ground,
Children spinning around till they fall down down down.
I wait for you: it's been two hours now,
You're still somewhere in town,
Your dinners getting cold.
I rest my case you are always this late,
And you know how much I hate waiting around 'round 'round,

Bitter heart, bitter heart tries to keep it all inside,
Bitter heart, bitter heart shadows will help you try to hide,
Bitter heart, my bitter heart is gettin' just a little fragile,
Bitter heart, bitter heart of mine.

And then you come and tell me the same reason as you did yesterday,
So tell me whats her name.
Doo doo da dum, doo doo da dum,
doo doo doo doo doo doo da da dum dum,
da da da da dum, da da da da dum, da da da da dum.

Bitter heart, bitter heart tries to keep it all inside
Bitter heart, bitter heart shadows will help you try to hide,
Bitter heart, my bitter heart is getting just a little fragile,
Bitter heart, bitter heart of mine,
of mine, of mine, of mine, of mine, of mine.

Now that every thing's been stolen
And I'm here to get it back from you
See I ain't wasting no more time

Fats Domino - Kansas City



I'm going to Kansas City
Kansas City here I come
I'm going to Kansas City
Kansas City here I come
They got a crazy way of loving there and I'm gonna get me one

I'm gonna be standing on the corner
12th Street and Vine

12th Street and Vine
With my Kansas City Baby and a bottle of Kansas City wine

Well I might take a plane I might take a train
But if I have to walk I'm going just the same
I'm going to Kansas City
Kansas City here I come
They got some crazy little women
there and I'm gonna get me one

With Someone Else's Money - You Don't Know Me (Ben Fold)



I wanna ask you -
Do you ever sit and wonder,
It's so strange
That we could be together for
So long, and never know, never care
What goes on in the other one's head?

Things I've felt but I've never said
You said things that I never said
So I'll say something that I should have said long ago:

(You don't know me)
You don't know me at all
(You don't know me)
You don't know me at all (at all)

You could have just propped me up on the table like a mannequin
Or a cardboard stand-up and paint me (paint me)
Any face that you wanted me
To be seen.
We're
Damned by the existential moment where
We saw the couple in the coma and
It was we were the cliché,
But we carried on anyway.

So, sure, I could just close my eyes.
Yeah, sure, trace and memorize,
But can you go back once you know

(You don't know me)
You don't know me at all
(You don't know me)
You don't know me at all (at all)

(You don't know me)
You don't know me at all
(You don't know me)
You don't know me

If I'm the person that you think I am (Ah ah ahh)
Clueless chump you seem to think I am (Ah ah ahhh)
So easily led astray,
An errant dog who occasionally escapes and needs a shorter leash, then
Why the f**k would you want me back?!

Maybe it's because

(You don't know me at all)

Ahhh ah
Ahhh ah

(You don't know me,
you don't know me.)

Ahhh ah
Ahhh ah

So, what I'm trying to say is
What (What?)
I'm trying to tell you
It's not gonna come out like I wanna say it cause I know you'll only change it.
(Say it.)

(You don't know me)
You don't know me at all
(You don't know me)
You don't know me at all (at all)

(You don't know me)
You don't know me at all
(You don't know me)
You don't know me at all (at all)

What?

(Mmmm, ohh oh
Ah ah ah ah ah
Aha ah ah ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Aha ah
Ah ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Oh-oh-oh-oh oh ohh)

Sandrine - Where Do We Go



Where do we go from here?
Where can we hide?
Cuz I made a U-turn
I'm still alive..
Where do we go from here?
Where did they put the signs?
Cuz I need an exit
After this life.
Where is this better place?
And where are these better times?
Cuz we've both been looking
But we can't find.
Look how much fun we had
And now it's all turnin' bad
I've got my foot down, it's too slow
You should know.
What are we gonna say?
Cuz I'm feelin' sorry that I came
Now I'm pullin' over
It all looks the same.
Look how much fun we had
And now it's all turnin' bad
I've got my foot down, it's too slow.
Oohooh oohoohoohooh yeahyeah yeahyeah
Can you hear me callin' out?
Look how much fun we had
And now it's all turnin' bad
I've got my foot down, it's too slow
Look how much fun we had
And now it's all turnin' bad
I've got my foot down, it's too slow
Look how much fun we had
And now it's all turnin' bad
I've got my foot down, it's too slow
You should know...

Meiko - Boys With Girlfriends



When I first met you I knew you were the one
'Til you took me home and I met her
She had your boxers on
She was listening to your song
And I thought right then that you had everything

But I knew she was jealous from the start
Yeah
I knew she was jealous from the start

'Cause I know better not to be friends with boys with girlfriends
Oh
I know better than that
I know better
You play the victim and I'll be the bad guy
I know better than that
I know better

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh

We started hanging around after 9
I could've sworn that I was yours
You looked at me and said, "It's a little too late for bed"
We went to the hotel and talked about everything

But I knew she was jealous from the start
Yeah
I knew she was jealous from the start

(Oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh)
(Oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh)
'Cause I know better not to be friends with boys with girlfriends
Oh
(Oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh)
(Oh oh)
I know better than that
I know better
(Oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh)
(Oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh)
You play the victim and I'll be the bad guy
(Oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh)
(Oh oh)
I know better than that
I know better

(Ah)
'Cause what she did to us was tragic
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh

(Ah)
And I have to do what's right
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh

(Ah)
What we had was really magic
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh

(Ah)
But I have to get what's mine

Oh
What's mine
I'll get what's mine and you'll get yours

'Cause I know better not to be friends with boys with girlfriends
Oh
I know better than that
I know better
You play the victim and I'll be the bad guy
I know better than that
I know better

(Oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh)
(Oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh)
I know better not to be friends with boys with girlfriends
Oh
(Oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh)
(Oh oh)
I know better than that
I know better
(Oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh)
(Oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh)
You play the victim and I'll be the bad guy
(Oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh)
(Oh oh)
I know better than that
I know better that that

I know better not to be friends with boys with girlfriends
Oh
I know better than that
I know better

Lucy Schwartz - I Don't Know A Thing



funny faces line up quick to catch a glimpse
of a world that’s drenched in darkness from a solar eclipse
the only thing that i know
only thing i know is
i don’t know a thing
the sky is blue, the valley low, the river wide
these simple things i’ve learned don’t give a clue to answer why
the only thing that i know
only thing i know is
i don’t know a thing
ooh, ooh
when it all comes down to it
what’s the use in knowing all the answers
and i can’t breathe with you watching over me
so why don’t we wait and see where we’re going
while writing this song i had to put the pencil down
and the chords became a silence that was deeper than a sound
the only thing that i know
only thing i know is
i don’t know a thing
the sun will rise again as time and time it does
and i will stand here looking at it exactly as i was
knowing the only thing that i know
only thing i know is
i don’t know a thing
ooh, ooh
when it all comes down to it
what’s the use in knowing all the answers
and i can’t breathe with you watching over me
so why don’t we wait and see where we’re going
on and on but we don’t know where
on and on but we don’t know why
on and on but we don’t know where
where are we going?

Bird York - Have No Fear



Have no fear in your heart
though you feel you've been broken and lost
there's a world where we will meet up again
there's a place that mends your hurt and takes you in
there are times faced alone
when you find all the holes in yourself
you don't have to walk the night on your own
I will send a prayer with you to lead you on
I will say a prayer for you when you have gone

The Beatles - Hey Jude



Hey Jude, don't make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

Hey Jude, don't be afraid.
You were made to go out and get her.
The minute you let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better.

And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain,
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder.

Hey Jude, don't let me down.
You have found her, now go and get her.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin,
You're waiting for someone to perform with.
And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude, you'll do,
The movement you need is on your shoulder.

Hey Jude, don't make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her under your skin,
Then you'll begin to make it
Better better better better better better, oh.

Na na na, na na na na, na na na, hey Jude...

Vampire Weekend - Ottoman



Ottoman couch, how handsome your furniture
Lovelier now, but dressed for a funeral
Begging you to sit for a portrait on the wall
To hang in the dark of some parliamentary hall

Elegant clothes, you want to be seen with her
Under your tweeds you sweat like a teenager
Begging you to sit for a portrait on the wall
To hang in the dark of some parliamentary hall

Today�s for you
They laid it out for you
For you
There will be six bells a-ringing and white women singing for you
But this feels so unnatural to Peter Gabriel, too

All of the cards and all of the time it took
Soon it's all lines of red in a leather book
Begging you to wait for a minute by the door
Your creeping feet where they�ve never been before

Today�s for you
They laid it out for you
For you
There will be six bells a-ringing and white women singing for you
But this feels so unnatural Peter Gabriel, too

Army Navy - Slight of Hand



Smoke, Mirrors and Lights
I have the feeling like it is all an illusion
All break is it right that way
I have the feeling it was all disillusion

Tonight
As I panic
Thought of you
Makes me manic and lose tears to my eyes

Its a bright came to boggle my mind
And I have the feeling it was going somewhere
Oh gees lock up the minute you missed
I get the feeling like I'm going nowhere

Tonight
As I panic
I'll put to rest
All the magic that ended up these slight of hand

And this is where I land
Oh I'll belong to what I've don't know
If I'll survive cause this is still my life
Oh I'll be strong for what I don't know

So you cornered me
Cut me into threes
She waves her arms and she going

So you punished me
From across the sea
I will be holding my breath
I will be stung and oppressed

Slight of hand
And this is where I land
Oh I'll belong to what I don't know
If I'll survive cause this is still my life
Oh I'll be strong for what I don't know

For what I don't know

The Beatles - Yesterday



Yesterday,
All my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they're here to stay,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly,
I'm not half the man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me,
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Why she
Had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said,
Something wrong, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Why she
Had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said,
Something wrong, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.

John Oszajca - I Hate You ( My Friend )



No one here likes you
Go away
Get a clue
Go back to your fucking zoo
Or whatever it is you do

I don't know why
I don't like what's in your eyes
and I'd love to split 'em wide

I could pretend
Can't you understand
I hate you, my friend

And some call it obsession
And some call it pure hate
And others call it pathetic
But some totally relate

I'd rather go to hell
Than shake your hand or wish you well
In case you couldn't tell

Go ahead boy drink your drink
Go ahead boy do your thing
Can you ????
and the words to every song I sing


I could pretend
Can't you understand
I hate you, my friend

And some call it obsession
And some call it pure hate
And others call it pathetic
But some totally relate

No one here likes you
Go away
Get a clue
Go back to your fucking zoo
Or whatever it is you do

I could pretend
Can't you understand
I hate you, my friend

I hate you, my friend
I hate you, my friend

Bishop Allen - Click Click Click Click



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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Barcelona - Get Up, Get Up, Get Up



Five days after black and red collide.
The motion sickness past, I’ll be the first to stand.
Behind that weathered door, I thought it would be safest.
My head is dizzy now, I thought we’d overcome.
We might not make it home tonight.

Crawling on the ash, she’s pitiful.
She lost her sense of light; she has to hold my hand.
Had I known we might be two kids without their jackets.
My fear would come alive, I wouldn’t love her now.
She might not make home tonight.

Get up
Get up
Get up
