Swimmer One - But My Heart Is Broken

Punk’s dead. the world’s grey.
the Sun rules, it sucks life out of each day.
i hate love. it’s soap stars and fake pink castles.
you took real life and left me a plastic matrix of cartoon
people who talk loud but don’t say anything
except ‘don’t stay in, go join in, find a friend, drink some gin.
you won’t put the world to rights unless you can sleep at night. let her go.
’ but my heart is broken. my heart is broken.
i’m lost to goodness, i’m such a mess now you’re gone.
the planet is dead, babe, except for the part that you’re on.
tv clowns in fuck me heels,
businessmen with smug fat smiles,
grey ideas and grey-haired fear,
i’m trying to love you but it just got harder.

Sea Wolf - The Garden You Planted

Good Morning Dear
I hope I didn't wake you too soon
Because my mind is growing tired
Too much thinking what I should do
I picture you out there
It must be beautiful this time of year
All those East Coast leaves
Floating round like embers from burning trees
Well the weather out here is just the same
But the garden that you planted remains.

Now it's only work
Each day bleeding into the next
Barely scraping by I tire myself out just so I can rest
But rest it rarely comes
And when it does I cannot go home
Because it's much too quiet
Seems that I'm not suited to being alone
And everyone around me's changed
But the garden that you planted remains.

I think about you
Maybe more than I should
But the smog is getting old
The drugs I'm taking aren't so good
So will you talk to me
Even though you've had a late night
Because I need a little help
Baby, tell me I'll be alright
Cause everything around me's changed
But the garden that you planted remains

Bruno Merz - For You Now

Bruno Merz - For You Now from The Blind Club on Vimeo.

Come away, come away
leave it all far behind you.
‘Cos it’s not who you are and it’s not what you wanted.
I can see, I can see
the strength there inside you.
Calling you
come away to where you’re bright eyed and hopeful.

As a child is this how, you saw yourself all grown up.
‘Cos I believe, I believe
in your smile I see someone else.
Coming through, coming through
like the sun-rays that kiss your face.
Like they always have done and they always will for you now.

And everything will be alright now, alright.

Lucy Schwartz - My Darling

Hold me close, I'm sleeping in
I'm sleeping in, my darling
Close the shades, sun's creepin' in
It's creepin' in, my darling

Don’t you wanna fall asleep
Forget about tomorrow
Close your eyes, but not to weep
Forget about your sorrow
Da da da da da da da da da da da

Lights go down, it's evening
It's evening, my darling
And the colors change, you're dreaming
You're dreaming, my darling

Don’t you wanna fall asleep
Forget about tomorrow
Close your eyes, but not to weep
Forget about your sorrow
Da da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da

Oh, let it go
Let your troubles slip from your mind
And lay here with me
Where there's no sense in keeping the time
Da da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da

Jem - Wish I

Baby, you're sailing today
Baby, you're sailing away
Sugar, wish I could go too
But honey you know
I'm happy for you

Wish I, I wish I, I wish I
Wish I was going too

Baby, your ship has come in
Baby, adventures will begin
Sugar, don't you worry ‘bout me
Coz honey you know
Want you to be happy

Wish I, I wish I, I wish I
Wish I was going too

But if you find that you don't like it
That the people there aren't inviting
Or that city life is too frightening
won't you come home
But if you find that you don't like it
That the people there aren't inviting
Or that city life is too frightening
won't you come home
please come home

Wish I, I wish I, I wish I
Wish I was going too
Wish I, I wish I, I wish I
Wish I was going too
