Today is the Day by Yo La tengo

i followed you ..foolishly
you were at a smoky bar, you were out til three
sat alone inside my car, it was nearly four
we were gonna wait for you all night
so i locked the door

i was gonna spend the night, coulda been okay
we were gonna talk all night, till i went away
remember how you used to say, can't stay up late
a minute later we're older now, i can't stay awake
i'm driving by your parent's farm, in the Chevrolet
i remember that rusty car, like it was yesterday

saw my brother driving by, the other day
i wished that i'd go out to him, but he drove away
saw my sister standing there, standing in rain
then i thought about nothing, that it feels the same

another day, come and gone
don't think i can ever sing that song
little secrets we bring along
i'm taking my time, trailing behind, i thought of you
today is the day i think of you

23 by Blonde Redhead

Twenty-three seconds,
All things we love will die
Twenty-three magic, if you can change your life


Your tainted heart, my tainted love, repent now
How many times?
As long as you live, how many times?
The world will go around


A lover and a lover
Another and another
A lover and a lover
Another and another


He was a friend of mine, he was a son of god...
he was a son of a gun


Twenty-three seconds,
In you I see a chance
Twenty-three magic, if you change the name of love


Your crazy heart, my crazy love
Your crazy heart, my crazy love, repent now
How many times? As long as you wish
How many times? The world will go around
How many times? As long as you want
How many times? The world will go around


He was a friend of mine, he was a son of a gun...
he was a son of god


Two three

We Have a Map of the Piano by MUM

Please don't flow so fast
You little mountain hum 
I'll take a bottle down to you 


Please don't flow this fast 
You hold a little hum 
I'll bottle sounds of me for you 


Please don't flow so fast 
You little mountain din 
I'll bottle piano sounds from you 


Please don't flow so fast 
You little mountain noise 
I'll close my eyes and bite your tongue

Apple Orchard by Beach House

You only give me what you don't want no more
Ask the questions that you don't know at all

Let's lie down for a while
You can smile
Lay your hair in the old
Old fashion

You know how it is, my friend
In the boxes of those picture frames
Hold your insides 'cause you're cold at night
Warm your heart now, 'cause you're by my side

Let's lie down for a while
You can smile
Lay your hair in the old
Old fashion

Lay your hand on me
Apple orchard
Take your time
You can settle down
Hold your breath
'Cause you're, you are nothing
Hold your hand on me
For a while

Roscoe by Midlake

Stonecutters made them from stones 
Chosen specially for you and I 
Who will live inside 
The mountaineers gathered tender 
Piled high 
In which to take along. 
Driving many miles, knowing they'd get here. 


When they got here, all exhausted 
On the roof leaks they got started 
And now when the rain comes 
We can be thankful 


Ooh aah ooh 
When the mountaineers 
Saw that everything fit, they were 
Glad and so they took off 


Thought we were devoid 
A change or two 
Around this place 
When they get back they're all mixed up with no one to stay with 


The village used to be all one really needs 
That's filled with hundreds and hundreds of 
Chemicals that mostly surround you 
You wish to flee but it's not like you 
So listen to me, listen to me 


Oh, oh, oh and when the morning comes, 
We will step outside 
We will not find another man inside 
We like the newness, the newness of all 
That has grown in our garden soaking for so long 


Whenever I was a child I wondered what if 
my name had changed into something more productive like Roscoe 
Been born in 1891 
Waiting with my Aunt Rosaline 


Thought we were devoid 
A change or two 
Around this place 
When they get back they're all mixed up with no one to stay with 


1891 
They looked around the forest 
They made their house from cedars 
They made their house from stones 


Oh, they're a little like you, and 
They're a little like me 
When they're falling me 


Thought we were devoid 
A change or two 
Around this place 
(This place) 
(This place) 


When they get back they're all mixed up with no one to stay with 
(When they get back they're all mixed up with no one to stay with

Miss Misery by Elliott Smith

I'll fake it through the day
With some help from Johnny Walker Red
Send the poison rain down the drain
To put bad thoughts in my head
Two tickets torn in half
And a lot of nothin' to do
Do you miss me, Miss Misery
Like you say you do

A man in the park
Read the lines in my hand
Told me I'm strong
Hardly ever wrong I said
"Man you mean--"

You had plans for both of us
That involved a trip out of town
To a place I've seen in a magazine
That you'd left lyin' around

I don't have you with me
But I keep a good attitude
Do you miss me, Miss Misery
Like you say you do

I know you'd rather see me gone
Than to see me the way that I am
But I am in your life any way

Next door the T.V.'s flashing
Blue frames on the wall
It's a comedy of errors you see
It's about taking a fall

To vanish into oblivion
It's easy to do
And I tried to leave but you know me
I come back when you want me to.

Do you miss me, Miss Misery
Like you say you do

Heart Stopper by Emiliana Torrini

You said I began
This messy state of love affair
And I drink too much and smoke too fast
And this city' s cleared my innocence

Coffee is pouring out my ears
It' s the only thing they have in here
And my heart stops beating

And when it stops it stops
My heart stopped beating
And when it stops it stops
My heart stopped beating

Number tree still on my plate
I heard the trains are running late
And I laugh out loud
My life is a mess
I have gone too far
In my lifelessness

Another coffee it' s on the house
The poor girl look is on the owners spouse
And my heart stopped beating

And when it stops it stops
My heart stopped beating
And when it stops it stops
My heart stopped beating

Outside your house
To make a scene
In my head you grabbed me passionately
But the lights are out
And in an hour I walked on home
In the pouring shower
Lost my keys in front of me
My neighbor's smile he' s handing me
The blackest coffee you will ever see

And my hearts stopped beating

And when it stops it stops
My heart stopped beating
And when it stops it stops
My heart stopped beating

Hanging Around by The Cardigans

I wonder what it's like 
seeing through your eyes 
You've offered me to have a try 
but I was always late 
The filters that I use 
give me an excuse 
I take away what's real 
I feel it and it blows my fuse 

I hang around 
for another round 
I'm hanging around 
for another round 
I'm hanging on 
to the same old song 
I hang around 
for another round 
Until something stops me 

I wonder what it's like 
walking by your side 
To think before I talk 
and to move at the same speed as you walk 
I want to have a weight 
to keep me in your state 
I'm watching from above 
I love it but it's not for me

Shy That Way by Jason Mraz & Tristan Prettyman

you know you're stunning
well you're absolutely stunning
and i'm running always running
and now i'm crying
you know only cause i'm caring
and if you were more daring maybe you'd stop staring
and come over and talk to me
and tell me bout how you've been waiting so patiently
and now you try but i just turned away
and i'll say, "yeah well you know, i'm shy that way"

i'm shy that way
maybe i'm shy that way

oh you know you're stunning

but you're always running
but i'll catch up to you
the way you keep your distance
is keepin my interest
so i'll keep it consistent
ooh, maybe someday, someway, somehow, sometime
we'll get together and we'll, we'll break it down
and i'll ask, "why you gotta be so shy, why you gotta be that way?"
well maybe, baby, i like it that way

One Evening by The Feist

The evening was long, 
my guesses were true
You saw me see you

That something you said, 
the timing was right
The pleasure was mine

The time and the place, 
the look on your face
Sincerest eyes

If you're ready or not, 
the state of our hearts
There's no time to take

When we started both brokenhearted
Not believing it could begin and end in one evening

pa-pa-pa-pa
pa-pa-pa
pa-pa-pa

pa-pa-pa-pa
pa-pa-pa
pa-pa-pa

We were caught by the light
Held on the day till it became hours
The minutes went by, the cab is outside
There's no time to take

When we started both brokenhearted
Not believing it could begin and end in one evening

When we parted, moving on
And believing it could begin and end in one evening

When we parted, moving on
And believing it could begin and end in one evening

pa-pa-pa-pa
pa-pa-pa
pa-pa-pa

pa-pa-pa-pa
pa-pa-pa
pa-pa-pa

Honey and the moon by Joseph Arthur

Don't know why I'm still afraid
If you weren't real I would make you up now
I wish that I could follow through
I know that your love is true and deep as the sea

But right now
Everything you want is wrong,

And right now
All your dreams are waking up,

And right now
I wish I could follow you...

To the shores
Of freedom,
Where no one lives.

Remember when we first met
And everything was still a bet in love's game
You would call; I'd call you back
And then I'd leave a message on your answering machine

But right now
Everything is turning blue,

And right now
The sun is trying to kill the moon,

And right now
I wish I could follow you...

To the shores
Of freedom,
Where no one lives

Freedom
Run away tonight
Freedom (freedom)
(Run away) Run away tonight

We're made out of blood and rust looking for someone to trust without a fight
I think that you came too soon
You're the honey and the moon that lights up my night

But right now
Everything you want is wrong,

And right now
All your dreams are waking up,

And right now
I wish that I could follow you...

To the shores
Of freedom
Where no one lives

Freedom
Run away tonight
Freedom (freedom)
(Run away) Run away tonight

We got too much time to kill
Like pigeons on my windowsill
We hang around

Ever since I've been with you
You hold me up
All the time I've falling down

But right now
Everything is turning blue,

And right now
The sun is trying to kill the moon,

And right now
I wish I could follow you...

To the shores
Of freedom
Where no one lives...

Freedom
Run away tonight
Freedom (freedom)
(Run away) Run away tonight
Freedom, (freedom)
(Run away), Run away tonight
Freedom, (freedom)
(Run away), Run away tonight...

Every Me, Every You by Placebo

Sucker love is 
Heaven sent you 
Pucker up our passions spent 
My heart's a tart 
Your body's rent 
My body's broken 
Your's is bent 
Carve your name into my arm 
Insted of stressed I ly here charmed 
'cause there's nothing else to do 
Every me and every You 

Sucker love 
A box I choose 
No other box I choose to use 
Another love I would abuse 
No circumstances could excuse 
In the shape of things to come 
To much poison come undone 
'cause there's nothing else to do 

Every me and every you 
Every me and every you 
Every me 

Sucker love 
Whos known to swing 
Prown to cling and waste these things 
Pucker up for heaven's sakes 
Theres never been so much at stake 
I carve my head up on a plate 
There's only comfort calling late 
'cause there's nothing else to do 

Every me and every you 
Every me and every you 
Every me 
Every me and every you 
Every me 

Like the naked 
Bleeds the blind 
I know I'm selfish 
I'm unkind 
Sucker love 
I always find 
Someone to bruise 
And leave behind 
All alone in space and time 
There's nothing here 
But what heres mine 
Something borowed 
Something Blue 

Every me and every you 
Every me and every you 
Every me 
Every me and every you 
Every me 
Every me and every you 
Every me 
Every me and every you 
Every me 
Every me 
And every you 
Every me 
Every me and every you 
Every me

Song to Say Goodbye by Placebo

You are one of God's mistakes
You crying tragic waste of skin
I'm well aware of how it aches
And you still won't let me in

Now I'm breaking down your door
To try and save your swollen face
Though I dont like you anymore
You lying trying waste of space

My, oh my
A song to say goodbye
A song to say goodbye
A song to say...

For our innocence was lost
You were always one of those
Blessed with lucky sevens
And a voice that made me cry

My, oh my
You were mother nature's son
Someone to whom I could relate
Your needle and your damage done
Remains a sorry twist of fate

Now I'm trying to wake you up
To pull you from the liquid sky
Cuz if I don't we'll both end up
With just your song to say goodbye

My, oh my
A song to say goodbye
A song to say goodbye
A song to say...

For our innocence was lost
You were always one of those
Blessed with lucky sevens
And a voice that made me cry

It's a song to say goodbye...

Between the Bars by Elliott Smith

drink up, baby, stay up all night
the things you could do, you won't but you might
the potential you'll be that you'll never see
the promises you'll only make

drink up with me now and forget all about the pressure of days
do what i say and i'll make you okay and drive them away

the images stuck in your head
people you've been before that you don't want around anymore
that push and shove and won't bend to your will
i'll keep them still

drink up, baby, look at the stars, i'll kiss you again
between the bars where i'm seeing you
there with your hands in the air waiting to finally be caught

drink up one more time and i'll make you mine
keep you apart deep in my heart separate from the rest
where i like you the best
and keep the things you forgot

the people you've been before that you don't want around anymore
that push and shove and won't bend to your will
i'll keep them still

Such Great Heights by Iron and Wine

I am thinking it's a sign
That the freckles in our eyes
Are mirror images and
When we kiss they're perfectly aligned

And I have to speculate
That God himself did make us into
Corresponding shapes like puzzles pieces
From the clay

True, it may seem like a stretch
But it's thoughts like this
That catch my troubled head
When you're away, when I am missing you to death

When you were out there on the road
For several weeks of shows
And when you scan the radio
I hope this song will guide you home

They will see us waving from such great heights
"Come down now," they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
"Come down now," but we'll stay

I've tried my best to leave
This all on your machine
But the persistent beat
Sounded thin upon listening

That frankly will not fly
You will hear the shrillest highs
And lowest lows with the windows down
When this is guiding you home

They will see us waving from such great heights
"Come down now," they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
"Come down now," but we'll say...

Inmates by The Good Life

When you said you loved me, did you really love me
or did the words just spill out like drool on my pillow.

'Cause I was naked when you said those words,
but I felt covered in your whispered worship. 

And as you passed out fast on my shoulder,
I imagined a child waiting so sad and still for his mom to arrive. 

Did she leave you an orphan, in that big, brown leather chair? 
Said, "Don't you move a muscle, kid, It'll be back in twenty years," 

You were scared, you were lonely, but you must've been aware; 
life is a series of calluses, this is just another layer. 

So, build 'em up, tough it out, yeah, that's your skin,
don't let anyone under there.


When you said you needed me,
did you really need me or was it just someone, 
oh, you'd take anything.

Am I first on that list of yours, or am I second, or third? 
So, who's that ahead of me, some harlot from Pittsburgh?
Or Detroit, Santa Fe, or San Diego? 

I know you're so alone, 
but how much affection does one guy really need?


Did you date a lot in high school? 
Were you always chasing girls? 
Couldn't you find some young valentine to steal your heart for good?
Were you content, or contemptible? 

Are your memories pleasant, 
or is it a string of endless flings of bitter resentment. 


Seems that what you want 
and what you need doesn't mean a thing, 
we'e just here for the taking.


When you said you'd hurt me, 
did you think you hurt me?
Are you really that cocky? 
Oh, what a heartbreaker! 

Well, I've got my armor, 
yeah, I've been through some battles before, 
and I met your old girlfriend, she said, "Baby, don't bother."

She told me you told her you'd hurt her. 
Funny, how familiar. 
So, how much of this relationship was rehearsed?


Did you act out as a child? 
Were you always crying wolf? 
Attention-starved, 
you tried too hard to get someone to look. 

Now you're the wolf in second-hand clothing; 
I'm the sheep in a pleated skirt. 

It's an awkward form of payback, 
but if it works for you, it works. 

It's that I recognize your off-white lies, 
still, I lie beside you, 
and that's what really hurts. 


When you said you'd leave me, 
well, why haven't you left me? 

What are we still doing here, so desperate for company? 
There's a greyhound on Jackson Street, 
there's an airport in Council Bluffs hell,
there's a car in the driveway, 
fifty ways to get lost. 


But as I hold you and listen to you sleeping, 
I'm starting to wonder if you really believe that you'd ever really leave. 

Would you leave me, and orphan, in that big, brown leather chair? 
The one you've lugged around from town to town for all these years. 

It's the trophy of your childhood, 
like a shark's tooth or gator skin boots, 
but this one holds you prisoner, 
it holds me prisoner too. 

What we need to set us free is to let go of each other, 
let go of everything.


When I said I loved you, it was because I loved you. 
When I said I needed you, well, I really need you. 

Yeah, I guess you hurt me, for once you're a man of your words. 
Well, guess what, I'm leaving. 
I can't be your prisoner.

I won't.

Funny Little Frog by Belle & Sebastian

Honey lovin you is the greatest thing 
I get to be myself and I get to sing 
I get to play at being irresponsible 
I come home late at night and I love your soul 
I never forget you in my prayers 
I never have a bad thing to report 

You' re my picture on the wall 
You' re my vision in the hall 
You' re the one I' m talking to 
When I get in from my work 
You are my girl, and you don' t even know it 
I am livin out the life of a poet 
I am the jester in the ancient court 
You' re the funny little frog in my throat 

My eye sight' s fading, my hearing' s dim 
I can' t get insured for the state I' m in 
I' m a danger to myself I' ve been starting fights 
At the party at the club on a Saturday night 
But I don' t get disapproving from my girl 
She gets the all highlights wrapped in pearls.. 

You' re my picture on the wall 
You' re my vision in the hall 
You' re the one I' m talking to 
When I get in from my work 
You are my girl, and you don' t even know it 
I am livin out the life of a poet 
I am the jester in the ancient court 
You' re the funny little frog in my throat 

I had a conversation with you at night 
It' s a little one sided but that' s allright 
I tell you in the kitchen about my day 
You sit on the bed in the dark changing places 
With the ghost that was there before you came 
You' ve come to save my life again 

I don' t dare to touch your hand 
I don' t dare to think of you 
In a physical way 
And I don' t know how you smell 
You are the cover of my magazine 
You' re my fashion tip, a living museum 
I' d pay to visit you on rainy Sundays 
I' ll maybe tell you all about it someday

Swinging by Black Box Recorder

If you let me join your gang,
I'll show you things you never dreamed of,
After school we'll steal a car,
Drive until the feeling changes,


All the people have to say,
We're swinging,
We don't like you,
Go away,
We're swinging,
Feeling rotten to the core,
And I don't need you anymore,


Are you a hardcore hooligan,
Did you really burn the old school down,
If I set fire to you now,
Would you even make a sound,


All the people have to say,
We're swinging,
We don't like you,
Go away,
We're swinging,
Feeling rotten to the core,
And I don't need you anymore,


It's the end of the affair,
Bet you never thought you'd even get this far,
And I dare you to look down,
See how brave you really are,


Run with Cardiff to the Southdowns,
We're swinging,
From the coast to the cathedral towers,
We're swinging,
Feeling rotten to the core,
And I don't need you anymore,
And I don't need you anymore,

Volcano by Damien Rice & Lisa Hannigan

Don't hold yourself like that
You'll hurt your knees
I kissed your mouth and back
That's all I need
Don't build your world around
Volcanoes melt you down


And what I am to you
Is not real
And what I am to you
You do not need
And what I am to you
Is not what you mean to me
You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I ask for the sea


Don't throw yourself like that
In front of me
I kissed your mouth your back
Is that all you need
Don't drag my love around
Volcanoes melt me down
And what I am to you
Is not real
And what I am to you
You do not need
And what I am to you
Is not what you mean to me


You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I ask...


What I give to you
Is just what I'm going through
This is nothing new
No, no, just another phase of finding 
what I really need
Is what makes me bleed
Like a new disease
But lord she's still too young to treat


She's still too young/ Volcanoes melt you down
What I am to you/ Volcanoes melt you down/ She's still too young
Is not real/ Volcanoes melt you down/ She's still too young
What I am to you/ Volcanoes melt you down/ She's still too young
You do not need/ Volcanoes melt you down/ She's still too young
She's still too young/ Volcanoes melt you down/ She's still too young


You do not need me

9 Crimes by Damien Rice & Lisa Hannigan

Leave me out with the waste

And I've got no exuse 

Is that alright? 
Give my gun away when it's loaded 
Is that alright?

Once I Loved by Damien Rice & Lisa Hannigan

Once, once I loved
And I gave so much love to this love you were the world to me
Once I cried
At the thought I was foolish and proud and let you say goodbye

And then one day
From my infinite sadness you came and brought me love again
Now I know
That no matter what ever befalls I'll never let you go
I will hold you close, make you stay
Because love is the saddest thing when it goes away
Love is the saddest thing when it goes away

Your Ghost by Damien Rice & Lisa Hannigan

If I walk down this hallway, tonight, 
It's too quiet, 
So I Pad through the dark 
and call you on the phone 
Push your old numbers 
and let your house ring 
til I wake you ghost. 
Let him walk down your hallway 
it's not this quiet 
slide down your receiver 
sprint across the wire 
follow my number 
slide into my hand. 

It's the blaze across my nightgown 
it's the phone's ring. 

I think last night 
you were driving circles around me. 

I can't drink this coffee 
til I put you in my closet 
let him shoot me down 
let him call me off 
I take it from his whisper 
you're not that tough.

Drive by The Incubus

Sometimes, I feel the fear of 
Uncertainty stinging clear. 
And I can't help but ask 
Myself how much I'll let the 
Fear take the wheel and steer. 


It's driven me before, and it seems to 
Have a vague, haunting mass appeal. 
But lately I am beginning to find that 
I should be the one behind the wheel. 


Chorus: 

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there 
With open arms and open eyes, yeah. 
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, 
I'll be there? 


So if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of 
The hive 
Will I choose water over wine and hold my own 
And drive? 


It's driven me before and it seems to be the way 
That everyone else gets 
Around. 
But lately I'm beginning to find that 
When I drive myself 
My light is found. 


(Chorus) 

(Would you kill the Queen to crush the hive?) 
Would you choose 
Water over wine? 
Hold the wheel 
And drive? 


(Chorus)

Kill The Messenger by Jack's Mannequin

Oh my god this hurts like hell 
I had that dream again 
Where I was lost for good in outer space 
Tell my doctor how to shake 
Awake a nightmare that is only worse 
when I am sleeping 

(chorus) 
Kill the messenger 
I swear it' s not me 
It' s just what I use to know 
And get to church cause you' re a good girl 
And I never told you that 
And all I need from you 
Could be the thing that leaves us both up here forever 
I' m gunna send a little rain, away 
I' m gunna send a little rain 

It' s not so easy caving in 
I walk by your apartment twice today 
While you were gone at work 
And all the colors got so dim 
It' s not as cold out here, 
But come quick, I am losing feeling 

(chorus) 
Kill the messenger 
I swear it' s not me 
It' s just what I use to know 
And get to church cause you' re a good girl 
And I never told you that 
And all I need from you 
Could be the thing that leaves me locked up here forever 
I' m gunna send a little rain, away 
I' m gunna send a little rain 
Send a little rain 

I' m gunna send a little rain, 
To pour down on you 
Rain, to make the flowers bloom (you know) 
Rain, to leave you all alone, 
But keep eye lashes fallin'  
Eye lashes washed away 

(chorus) 
Kill the messenger 
I swear it' s not me 
It' s just what I use to know 
And get to church cause you' re a good girl 
And he never told you that 
And all I need from you 
Could be the thing that leaves us locked up here forever 
I' m gunna send a little rain, away 
I' m gunna send a little rain 
Send a little rain 

I' m gunna send a little rain 
I' m gunna send a little rain your way 
I' m gunna send a little rain 
Send a little rain

Muscle Museum by Muse

She had something to confess to
But you don't have the time
So look the other way
You will wait until it's over
To reveal what you'd never shown her
Too little much too late

Can you see that I am needing
And begging for so much more
Than you could ever give
And I don't want you to adore me
Don't want you to ignore me
When it pleases you
Yeah, and I'll do it on my own

I have played in every toilet
But you still want to spoil it
To prove I've made a big mistake
Too long trying to resist it
You've just gone and missed it
It's escaped your world

Can you see that I am needing
And begging for so much more
Than you could ever give
And I don't want you to adore me
Don't want you to ignore me
When it pleases you

Yeah,

Glory Box by Portishead

I'm so tired, of playing
Playing with this bow and arrow
Gonna give my heart away
Leave it to the other girls to play
For I've been a temptress too long

Just. .
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be ee, a woman
I just wanna be a woman
From this time, unchained
We're all looking at a different picture
Thru this new frame of mind
A thousand flowers could bloom
Move over, and give us some room

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL

So don't you stop, being a man
Just take a little look from our side when you can
Sow a little tenderness
No matter if you cry

Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be ee, a woman
Its all I wanna be is all woman
For this is the beginning of forever and ever
Its time to move over

Rock Bottom Riser by Smog

I love my mother
I love my father
I love my sisters, too.
I bought this guitar
To pledge my love
To pledge my love to you.

I am a rock bottom riser
And I owe it all to you
I am a rock bottom riser
And I owe it all to you

I saw a gold ring
At the bottom of the river
Glinting at my foolish heart
So my foolish heart
Had to go diving
Diving, diving, diving
Into the murk

And from the bottom of the river
I looked up for the sun
Which had shattered in the water
And pieces were rained down
Like gold rings 
That passed through my hands
As I thrashed and I grabbed
I started rising, rising, rising

I left my mother
I left my father
I left my sisters, too
I left them standing on the banks
And they pulled me out
Of this mighty, mighty, mighty river

I am a rock bottom riser
And I owe it all to you
I am a rock bottom riser
And I owe it all to you

I love my mother
I love my father
I love my sisters, too.
I bought this guitar
To pledge my love
To pledge my love to you

More Than This by The Cure

For this second of your life, Tell me that its true,
Waiting for a sign, Thats all i want of you.
Your heart hides a secret a promise of what is,
something more than this.

Just a second of your time, any one will do,
taste of any other, is all i want from you,
you offer me the world, and how can i resist
something more than this?

Make believe in magic
make believe in dreams
make believe impossible,
nothing as it seems to see touch taste smell hear 
but never know if its real


for this second of your life, tell me if its true
anyway we are, is all i want of you
your lips lies a secret, a promise of a kiss
something more than this

just a second of your time, any one will do
to know any other is all i want for you
giving me the world, now i cant resist
something more than this

make believe in magic
make believe in dreams
make beliee impossible
nothing as it seems
never really understand what anything means

another second of my life, not knowing if its true
make believe in nothing, is all i want of you 
whisper me your secret, whisper me your ears
always something other
something more than this...

You Always Say Goodbye, Goodbye by The Juliana Theory

Did you really think that it was over
when you hung up the phone 
and said goodnight? 

And did you ever think that it would be too much? 
I can't leave without saying goodbye.

So did you really think that you could take it? 
Could you make it alone tonight? 

I never could have hoped for anything more. 
Be my angel if you can, alright. 
You always say goodnight, 
and you always say goodnight. 

So baby did you sleep an hour for me? 
How I wish I was there right now. 
I wasn't going to tell you I could change things. 

I'm afraid I never will know how. 
But I don't really think that I can take it. 

Will I make it alone somehow? 
So hold me in your arms before I leave you. 
I'll be back as soon as time allows. 

You always say goodnight, 
and you always say goodnight. Goodnight.

Come Here by Kath Bloom

There's a wind that blows in from the north, 
And it says that loving takes its course. 

Come here. Come here. 

No I'm not impossible to touch, 
I have never wanted you so much. 

Come here. Come here. 

Have I never lay down by your side? 
Baby, let's forget about this pride. 

Come here. Come here. (#3) 

Well, I'm in no hurry. 

You don't have to run away this time. 

I know that you're jimmied, 
but it's gonna be all right this time.

I Love How You Love Me by Beth Orton

I love how your eyes close whenever you kiss me
And when I'm away from you I love how you miss me
I love the way you always treat me tenderly
But, darling, most of all I love how you love me.(love how you love me)

I love how your heart beats whenever I hold you
I love how you think of me without being told to
I love the way your touch is always heavenly
But, darling, most of all I love how you love me (love how you love me)

(SPOKEN)
I love how your eyes close whenever you kiss me
And when I'm away from you I love how you miss me>
I love the way your touch is always heavenly
But, darling, most of all I love how you love me (love how you love me)

I love how you hug me (love how you hug me)
I love how you squeeze me, tease me, please me
Love---how you love me
I love how you love me.

Rainy Days by Late Night Alumni

The day is cold.
The day is cold and dark and dreary.

And it rains.
And the wind is never weary.

Ivy still clings to the wall.
At every gust the dead leaves fall.

And the day is dark.
And the day is dark and dreary.

Be still sad heart.
Oh be still and cease repining.

Behind the clouds
Is the sun still shining.

Thy fate is the fate of all.
Into life some rain must fall.

Some days must be dark
Some days must be dark and dreary.

Femme Fatale by Emilie Simon

Here she comes
You better watch your step
She's going to break your heart in two
It's true

It's not hard to realize
Just look into her false coloured eyes
She'll build you up just to put you down
What a clown

Cause everybody knows
(She's a femme fatale)
The things she does to please
(She's a femme fatale)
She's just a little tease
(She's a femme fatale)
See the way she walks
Hear the way she talks

You're written in her book
You're number 37, take a look
She's going to smile to make you frown
What a clown

Little boy she's from the streets
Before you start you're already beat
She's going to play you for a fool
Yes it's true

Cause everybody knows
(She's a femme fatale)
The things she does to please
(She's a femme fatale)
She's just a little tease
(She's a femme fatale)
See the way she walks
Hear the way she talks

She will try to bring you down
The hardest girl around

Cause everybody knows
The things she does to please
She's just a little tease
And everybody knows
She's a femme fatale
She's a femme fatale
She's a femme fatale
She's a femme fatale
(Repeat)

Blinded By The Stars by Pernice Brothers

Comet in the sky
Sear me like a passion
That took such a long time
Can I go away with you

Come and safe my life
Trail your farewell kisses
Over the port side
Left at night so no one knew

Blinded by the stars
Can you help me get to where you are
Blinded by the stars
So familiar that it feels too strange
Give a name to this terrifying change

Comet in the sky
Lost you and the starlight
Lost in the new sunrise and
On my love I wait for you

Blinded by the stars
Can you help me get to where you are
Blinded by the stars
So familiar that it feels too strange
Give a name to this terrifying change

I would tell the world that I love you
But this waiting game is as serious as statue

Blinded by the stars
Can you help me get to where you are
Blinded by the stars
So familiar that it feels too strange
Waiting for it to come back again
So familiar that it feels too strange
Give a name to this terrifying change

Terrifying change
Terrifying change
Terrifying change
Terrifying change

All The Way Down by Glen Hansard

You have broken me all the way down,
down upon my knees.
And you have broken me all the way down,
you'll be the last, you'll see.

Some fight you gave,
and I pushed you away
from me.

And in the morning when you turn in
I'll be far to sea.

And you have broken me all the way down.
You'll be the last, you'll see.

And what chance have we got
when you've missed every shot
for me?

And in the morning when you turn in
I'll be out of reach.
And in the darkness when you find this
I'll be far to sea.

And you have broken me all the way down.
You'll be the last, you'll see.

Smells Like Teen Spirit (cover) by Tori Amos

Load up on guns and bring your friends. 
It's fun to lose and to pretend. 
She's overbored and self-assured. 
Oh no, I know a dirty word. 
Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, how low. 

I'm worst at what, what I do best
and for this gift I feel blessed. 
A little group has always been 
and always will be until the end. 
Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, how low. 

With the lights out it's less dangerous. 
Here we are now, entertain us. 
I feel stupid and contagious. 
Here we are now, entertain us. 
Yes... hello, hello, o-ooh. 

[these lyrics are found on http://www.songlyrics.com] 
With the lights out it's less dangerous. 
Here we are now, entertain us. 
I feel stupid and contagious. 
Here we are now, entertain us. 
Yes... 

a mulatto, 
an albino, 
a mosquito, 
my libido. 
A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial. 
Yes... 

a denial...

Good Times Gonna Come by Aqualung

need to know
if you're letting go
it's alright,alright, it's alright
didn't know
I was hurting you so
it's alright, alright, it's alright.

you came to me from nowhere
with nothing
and no-one
hold tight, hold tight, hold tight
goes to show
you never really know
it's alright, it's alright, it's alright

this is just one of those
lonely night
the good times gonna come

see me then
investing so much
in you, in you, in you
came so close
to the edge
I do, I do, I do

this is just one of those
lonely night
the good times gonna come

In the end
we let it go away
we let it float away
on the breeze

'round the bend
the sun is in the sky
it's starting to look like
it's gonna be, yeah, it's gonna be
a bright
beautiful day
yeah, the good times gonna come, oh no
the good times gonna come, yeah, yeah,

this is just one of those
lonely night
the good times gonna come, oh,
the good times gonna come, oh yeah
the good times gonna come, ohh
the good times gonna come, yeah.
Need to know if you're letting go
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

Song For A Sleeping Girl by Devics

I had to taste
To see it close
But you’re already there
Right next to me
How could you ever find
A better place to be

You’re breathing slowly
I let you hold me
I left you so many times
While you were next to me
Your brown hair on the bed
I wanted you to see

This is a song
For a silent sleeping girl
She wants nothing
But to wake and find you there

The words you whisper
They fade in morning
And when I look at her
And her sleeping face
Her foot resting in mine
And then I know my place

This is a song
For a silent sleeping girl
She wants nothing
But to wake and find you there, you there

Lie To Me by Devics

you’re waisting all your time here
riding around in the sun
alone and idling
come wander back to me
you know I’ll always be there

lie to me
lie to me
make like you love me
lie to me
lie to me
oh

with this one you never go
and this one you never show yourself
with this one you tell it all
and turn your world into a ghost town

lie to me
lie to me
make like you love me
lie to me
come on it’s easy
oh
don’t think of what we can’t be lie to me

lie to me
make like you love me
lie to me
lie to me
oh

don’t think of what we can’t be
I know what you need and you know that you like it
the name you were born with
your soul on your sleeve
let me believe in something
