54. Weekend wars - MGMT



Evil S I yes to find a shore,
A beach that doesn't quiver anymore,
Where we can crush some plants to paint my walls,
And I won't try to fight in the weekend wars
Was I? I was to lazy to bathe
Or paint or write or try to make a change.
Now I can shoot a gun to kill my lunch
And I don't have to love or think too much

Instant battle plans written on the sidewalk
Mental mystics in a twisted metal car
Tried to amplify the sound of light and love

Christ is cursed of faders and maders
Might even take a knife to split a hair
Or even scare the children off my lawn
Giving us time to make the makeshift bombs
Every mess invested was a score
We couldn't use computers anymore
It's difficult to win unless you're bored,
And you might have to plan for the weekend wars

Try to break my heart I'll drive to Arizona.
It might take 100 years to grow an arm
I'll sit and listen to the sound of sand and cold
Twisted diamond heart, I'm the weekend warrior
My predictions are the only things I have
I can amplify the sound and light and love

I'm a curse and i'm a sound,
When I open up my mouth,
There's a reason I don't win,
I don't know how to begin

53. Kids - MGMT



You were a child
Crawling on your knees toward it
Making momma so proud,
But your voice is too loud

We like to watch you laughing,
You pick the insects off plants
No time to think of consequences

[Chorus:]
Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanted
To be haunted

[Repeat chorus]

The water is warm
But it’s sending me shivers
A baby is born
Crying out for attention

The memories fade
Like looking through a fogged mirror
Decision to decisions are made
And not bought,
But I thought this wouldn’t hurt a lot.
I guess not

[Chorus x2]

52. You only live once - The Strokes



Ooooooooh Ooooh Ooooh
Some people think they're always right
Others are quiet and uptight
Others they seem so very nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice...(oh-ho)
Inside they might feel sad and wrong (oh no)

Twenty-nine different attributes
Only seven that you like (uh oh)
Twenty ways to see the world (oh-ho)
Twenty ways to start a fight (oh-ho)

Oh don't, don't, don't get up
Sh-sh-sh-sh-I can't see the sunshine
I'll be waiting for you, baby
Cause I'm through
Sit me down
Shut me up
I'll calm down
And I'll get along with you
ooooooo-ooooooo-oooooh

Oh, men don't notice what they got
Oh, women think of that a lot...
A thousand ways to please your man (oh-ho)
Not even one requires a plan (I know)

And countless odd religions, too
It doesn't matter which you choose (oh no)
One stubborn way to turn your back (oh-ho)
This I've tried and now refuse (oh-ho)

Oh don't, don't, don't get up
Sh-sh-sh-sh-I can't see the sunshine
Oh, I'll be waiting for you, baby
Cause I'm through
Sit me down
Shut me up
I'll calm down

And I'll get along with you
Alright

Shut me up
Shut me up
And I'll get along with you

51. Unthought known - Pearl Jam





All the thoughts,... You never see,... You’re always thinking,...
Brain is wired,... Brain is deep,... Oh are you sinking?,...

Feel the path of every day,... Which road you taking?,...
Breathing hard,... & Making hay,... Yeh this is living,...

Look for love & evidence,... That you’re worth keeping,...
Swallowed whole in negatives,... It's so sad & sickening,...

Feel the air up above,... A pool of blue sky,...
Fill the air up with love,... Black w/starlight,...

Feel the sky blanket you,... w/gems & rhinestones,...
See the path cut by the moon,... For you to walk on,...
For you to walk on,...

Nothing left,... Nothing left,...
Nothing there,... Nothing left,...

See the path cut by the moon,... For you to walk on,...
See the waves on distant shores,... Awaiting your arrival,...

Dream the dreams of other men,... You’ll be no ones rival,...
Dream the dreams of others then,... You will be no ones rival,...
You will be no ones rival,...

A distant time,... A distant space,... That’s where we’re living —..
A distant time,... A distant place,... So what you giving?,...
What you giving?

50. Young folks - Peter, Bjorn & John



If i told you things i did before
told you how i used to be
would you go along with someone like me
if you knew my story word for word
had all of my history
would you go along with someone like me

i did before and had my share
it didn't lead nowhere
i would go along with someone like you
it doesn't matter what you did
who you were hanging with
we could stick around and see this night through

and we don't care about the young folks
talkin' 'bout the young style
and we don't care about the old folks
talkin' 'bout the old style too
and we don't care about their own faults
talkin' 'bout our own style
all we care 'bout is talking
talking only me and you

usually when things has gone this far
people tend to disappear
no one will surprise me unless you do

i can tell there's something goin' on
hours seems to disappear
everyone is leaving i'm still with you

it doesn't matter what we do
where we are going too
we can stick around and see this night through

and we don't care about the young folks
talkin' 'bout the young style
and we don't care about the old folks
talkin' 'bout the old style too
and we don't care about their own faults
talkin' 'bout our own style
all we care 'bout is talking
talking only me and you

and we don't care about the young folks
talkin' 'bout the young style
and we don't care about the old folks
talkin' 'bout the old style too
and we don't care about their own faults
talkin' 'bout our own style
all we care 'bout is talking
talking only me and you
talking only me and you

talking only me and you
talking only me and you

49. Phoenix - Aimee Mann



Got out of Phoenix, just in time
A box of kleenex, for the ride
The tumbleweeds said, their goodbyes
To javelinas and DUIs

I don't want to abandon you but baby I've had my fill
You love me like a dollar bill
You roll me up and trade me in
And if you had the chance you will
And if you get the chance again

It's hard to know when to cut and run
You balance heartache with your fun
And when the scales tip, you know you're done

I don't want to abandon you but baby I've had my fill
You love me like a dollar bill
You roll me up and trade me in
And if you had the chance you will
And if you get the chance again

Cos I know love doesn't change anything at all
I know love doesn't change a thing

I wanted to believe in you and baby I believe it still
Baby I've just had my fill
You love me like a dollar bill
You roll me up and trade me in
And if you have the chance you will
And if you get the chance again
I know you'll do the best you can

But baby love doesn't chage anything at all
I know love doesn't change a thing

48. You look so fine - Garbage



You look so fine
I want to break your heart
And give you mine
You're taking me over

It's so insane
You've got me tethered and chained
I hear your name
And I'm falling over

I'm not like all the other girls
I can't take it like the other girls
I won't share it like the other girls
That you used to know

You look so fine

Knocked down
Cried out
Been down just to find out
I'm through living for you

I'm open wide
I want to take you home
We're wasting time
You're the only one for me

You look so fine
I'm like the desert tonight
Leave her behind
If you want to show me

I'm not like all the other girls
I won't take it like the other girls
I won't fake it like the other girls
That you used to know

You're taking me over
Over and over
I'm falling over
Over and over

Loving me one more time
Hide inside me tonight
Do what you want to do
Just pretend happy end
Let me know let it show
Ending with letting go X3
Let's pretend happy end X4

47. Dreams in colour - David Fonseca



I dream in colours,
I drift in circles,
The falling angels,
The popping bubbles...

I dream in numbers,
And I count them backwards,
And I see you waiting at the,
Zero hours, so...

Exploding pumpkins,
The dying flowers,
The bloodsheds turns to
Songs, buildings, towers...

So I sit on your wall,
If I get there first,
I'll drown in your love,
I'll never wake up...
I'll never wake up...

I dream in colours
I dream in colours
I dream in colours

So I sit on your wall,
And I'll get there first,
I'll drown in your love,
I'll never wake up...
I'll never wake up...

46. Dialectos da ternura - Da Weasel



Yoo
Ela diz que me adora quando a noite vai a meio
Eu sinto-me melhor pessoa, menos fraco, feio
Passa o dedo na raça com a mão bem suave
Encosta o lábio no ouvido e diz-me: queres que a lave?
Vamos para o chuveiro e ela flui com a água,
Lava-me a cabeça, a alma e qualquer resto de mágoa
Diz que o meu amor lhe dá um certo calor na barriga
É aí que eu sei que quero ser para sempre aquele
nigga
Que lhe mete a rir, rir, quando eu lhe faço vir
Da terra até à lua mano, é sempre a subir...
E somos grandes, gigantes com dez metros de altura
Falamos vinte línguas, dialectos da Ternura
Tipo...

[Refrão:]
Uhhh, uhhh!
Yeah, yeah!
Faz, faz!
bébé (2x)

Água morna em pele quente poro aberto não perfura
a minha alma já tá nua e eu faço-lhe uma jura, jura
Para sempre teu depois da noite volvida
Um segundo ao teu lado já preenche uma vida
O conceito de tempo não entra na sensação
Aquilo que vivemos tá gravado no coração
Segura na minha mão e continua a canção
É a melhor que já ouvi reinventaste a paixão
Ela diz que me adora quando o dia vai a meio
O copo passa de meio vazio para meio cheio
A palavra ganha vida e fala à minha frente
Sigo calmo atrás dela deixo crescer a semente
E Diz-me:

[Refrão:]
Uhhh, uhhh!
Yeah, yeah!
Faz, faz!
bébé (4x)

Em cada beijo há uma frase, em cada frase há um verso
Em cada verso há um lado do lado inverso
De uma história que assombra a memória
Da leveza irrisória de uma conquista notória
Faço V de vitória, porque hoje eu sou rei
Ao lado da rainha com que sempre sempre sonhei
Foi por isto que esperei, em cada noite que amei
Ou pensei que amei porque é agora que eu sei
A razão da palavra consagrada
Que tanta gente dá à toa em troca de quase nada
Ela não tá espantada, pelo contrário, relaxada
Revê-se na expressão da expressão enamorar
E diz-me:

[Refrão:]
Uhhh, uhhh!
Yeah, yeah!
Faz, faz!
bébé (8x)"

Uhhh, uhhh!
Yeah, yeah!

45. Viva! - Sam the kid



Seria necessário voltar a repicar esses discos
para poder avaliar bem coisas que talvez nos esclarecessem
e nos abrissem novos caminhos.

Novos caminhos, os caminhos mais actuais,
novos caminhos, uma orientação nova.

Friday 20 November 2009

44. Where or when - Lambchop



It seems we stood and talked like this before
We looked at each other the same way then
But I can't remember where or when
The clothes you're wearing are the clothes you wore
The smile you are smiling you were smiling then
But I can't remember where or when
Some things that happen for the first time
Seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before and loved before
But who knows where or when?

43. Lá de fora - Madredeus



Um sol brilhante, uma risada distante
Vieram lá de fora, de um outro planeta
Sem pedir licença, entraram p'la minha janela
E agitaram a chama, que estava quieta

E de repente estouram cristais, na nossa alma
Alucinam e vão viajar, com muita calma
Por corredores com portas, cada porta sua chave
Cada chave sua sala, casa viva, sótão, cave.

Lá de fora vêm, por vezes vidas diferentes
Que não morrem cá dentro
Nos tornam irreverentes
São o espírito alegre
De certo vinho que eu gosto
São velas içadas ao vento
São lupas para o pensamento
São velas içadas ao vento
São lupas para o pensamento

42. Failure - Kings of Convenience



Using the Guardian as a shield,
to cover my thighs against the rain,
I didn't mind about my hair.
Your jacket may be waterproof,
but knowing the moment you get home
you're gonna get your trousers changed.

Failure is always the best way to learn,
retracing your steps 'til you know,
have no fear your wounds will heal.

I wish I could travel overground
to where all you hear is water sounds,
lush as the wind upon a tree.
I wish I could travel overground
to where all you hear is water sounds,
to capture and keep inside of me.

Failure is always the best way to learn,
retracing your steps 'til you know,
have no fear your wounds will heal.

Failure is always the best way to learn,
retracing your steps 'til you know,
have no fear your wounds will heal.

41. November rain - Guns N' Roses



When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
We've been through this
Such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain
Yeahh..
But lovers always come
And lovers always go
And no one's really sure
Who's lettin' go today
Walking away
If we could take the time
To lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
Then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain

Do you need some time
On your own
Do you need some time
All alone
Everybody needs some time
On their own
Don't you know you need some time
All alone

I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time
On my own
Sometimes I need some time
All alone
Everybody needs some time
On their own
Don't you know you need some time
All alone

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain

Don't ya think that you
Need somebody
Don't ya think that you
Need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

40. Acordar - Rádio Macau



Não parti, mas já não sei voltar.
Ando às voltas a esquecer quem sou.
Bebo a noite até o Sol chegar.
Ele sempre me encontrou.

Refrão:
Só o Amor me faz correr.
Só o Amor me faz ficar.
Só o Amor me faz perder.
Só o Amor me faz querer mais.

Não sei viver sem ter de viver.
O que me dão já não sei gostar.
Não se perde o que não se quer ter.
Cada vez mais sem esperar.

Refrão

E se for a primeira vez, que os teus dedos
tocam a luz da manhã.
Dá-me a tua mão. Respira o ar do dia.
Talvez nada mais.

Refrão

39. Luckiest guy on the lower east side - The Magnetic Fields



Andy would bicycle across town in the rain to bring you candy
and John would buy the gown for you to wear to the prom
with Tom the astronomer who'd name a star for you

But I'm the luckiest guy on the Lower East Side
cause I've got wheels and you want to go for a ride

Harry is the one I think you'll marry
but it's Chris that you kissed after school
well I'm a fool, there's no doubt
but when the sun comes out
and only when the sun comes out...

I'm the luckiest guy on the Lower East Side
cause I've got wheels and you want to go for a ride

The day is beautiful and so are you
My car is ugly but then I'm ugly too
I know you'd never give me a second glance
but when the weather's nice all the other guys don't stand a chance

I know Professor Blumen makes you feel like a woman
but when the wind is in your hair you laugh like a little girl
So you share secrets with Lou but we've got secrets too
Well, one: I only keep this heap for you

cause I'm the ugliest guy on the Lower East Side
but I've got wheels and you want to go for a ride
Want to go for a ride?

Saturday 14 November 2009

38. I don't want to get over you - The Magnetic Fields



I don't want to get over you
I guess I could take a sleeping pill and sleep at will
and not have to go through what I go through
I guess I should take Prozac, right, and just smile all night
at somebody new
Somebody not too bright but sweet and kind who would
try to get you off my mind
I could leave this agony behind
which is just what I'd do
if I wanted to
but I don't want to get over you

cause I don't want to get over love
I could listen to my therapist, pretend you don't exist
and not have to dream of what I dream of
I could listen to all my friends and go out again
and pretend it's enough or I could make a career of being blue
I could dress in black and read Camus
smoke clove cigarettes and drink vermouth like I was 17
that would be a scream
but I don't want to get over you

37. Chicken with its head cut off - The Magnetic Fields



Eligible, not too stupid
Intelligiable, and cute as cupid
Knowledgeable, but not always right
Salvageable, and free for the night

Now my heart's runnin' round like a chicken with its head cut off
All around the barn yard falling in and out of love
Poor thing's blind as a bat
Gettin' up, fallin' down, gettin' up
Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off?

Woah Nelly

My wife doesn't understand me
Many dozens, hope to land me
I'm for free love
And I'm in free fall
This could be love
Or nothing at all

Now my heart's runnin' round like a chicken with its head cut off
All around the barn yard falling in and out of love
Poor thing's blind as a bat
Gettin' up, fallin' down, gettin' up
Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off?

We don't have to be stars exploding in the night
Or electric eels under the covers
We don't have to be
Anything quite so unreal
Lets just be lovers

Well my heart's runnin' round like a chicken with it's head cut off
All around the barn yard falling in and out of love
Poor thing's blind as a bat
Gettin' up, fallin' down, gettin' up
Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off?

It ain't pretty!

36. Inner city pressure - Flight of the Conchords



Inner city life.
Inner city pressure.
The concrete world is starting to get ya.
The city is alive, the city is expanding.
Living in the city can be demanding.
You pawned everything, everything you owned.
Your tooth brush jar and a camera phone.
You don't know where you're going.
You cross the street, you don't know why you did.
You walk back across the street.
Standing in the sitting room.
Totally stint. And your favorite jersey is covered in lint.
You want to sit down but you sold your chair.
So you just stand there. You just stand there...
(YOU JUST STAND THERE!)

Inner. Inner city. Inner city pressure.

Counting coins on the counter of the 7/11.
From a quarter past six til a quarter to seven.
The manager, Bevin, starts to abuse me.
Hey man, I just want some Muesli.
Neon signs, hidden messages.
Questions, answers, fetishes.
You know you're not in high finance.
Considering second hand underpants.
Check your mind, how'd it get so bad?
What happened to those other underpants you had?
Look in your pockets, haven't found a cent yet.
Landlord's on your balls, "have you payed your rent yet?"

Inner. Inner city. Inner city pressure.
Inner. Inner city. Inner city pressure.

So you think maybe you'll be a prostitute.
Just to pay for your lessons, you're learning the flute.
Ladies wouldn't pay you very much for this.
Looks like you'll never be a concert flautist.

You don't measure up to the expectation.
When you're unemployed, there's no vacation.
No one cares, no one sympathizes.
You just stay home and play synthesizers.

Inner. Inner city. Inner city pressure.
Inner. Inner city. Inner city pressure.

35. I dreamed a dream - Ruthie Henshall (Les Miserables)



There was a time when men were kind
When their voices were soft
And their words inviting
There was a time when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting
There was a time
Then it all went wrong

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
And they turn your dream to shame

He slept a summer by my side
He filled my days with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn came

And still I dream he'll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.

34. Weird Fishes/Arpeggi - Radiohead





In the deepest ocean
The bottom of the sea
Your eyes
They turn me
Why should I stay here?
Why should I stay?

I'd be crazy not to follow
Follow where you lead
Your eyes
They turn me

Turn me on to phantoms
I follow to the edge of the earth
And fall off
Everybody leaves
If they get the chance
And this is my chance

I get eaten by the worms
Weird fishes
Get picked over by the worms
Weird fishes
Weird fishes
Weird fishes

I'll hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape
Escape

I'll hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape
Escape

33. Oxford comma - Vampire Weekend



Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma?
I've seen those English dramas too
They're cruel
So if there's any other way
To spell the word
It's fine with me, with me

Why would you speak to me that way
Especially when I always said that I
Haven't got the words for you
All your diction dripping with disdain
Through the pain
I always tell the truth

Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma?
I climbed to Dharamsala too
I did
I met the highest lama
His accent sounded fine
to me, to me

Check your handbook
It's no trick
Take the chapstick
Put it on your lips
Crack a smile
Adjust my tie
Know your boyfriend, unlike other guys

Why would you lie about how much coal you have?
Why would you lie about something dumb like that?
Why would you lie about anything at all?
First the window, then it's to the wall
Lil' Jon, he always tells the truth

Check your passport
It's no trick
Take the chapstick
Put it on your lips
Crack a smile
Adjust my tie
Know your butler, unlike other guys
Why would you lie about how much coal you have?
Why would you lie about something dumb like that?
Why would you lie about anything at all?
First the window, then it's through the wall
Why would you tape my conversations?
Show your paintings
At the United Nations
Lil' Jon, he always tells the truth

32. Pieces of you - Jewel



She's an ugly girl, does it make you want to hurt her?
She's an ugly girl, do you want to kick in her face?
She's an ugly girl, she doesn't pose a threat.
She's an ugly girl, does that make you feel safe?
Ugly girl, ugly girl, do you hate her
Cause she's pieces of you?

She's a pretty girl, does she make you think nasty thoughts?
She's a pretty girl, do you want to tie her down?
She's a pretty girl, do you call her a bitch?
She's a pretty girl, did she sleep with your whole town?
Pretty girl, pretty girl, do you hate her
Cause she's pieces of you?

You say he's a faggot, does it make you want to hurt him?
You say he's a faggot, do you want to kick in his brain?
You say he's a faggot, does he make you sick to your stomach?
You say he's a faggot, are you afraid you're just the same?
Faggot, Faggot, do you hate him
Cause he's pieces of you?

You say he's a Jew, does it mean that he's tight?
You say he's a Jew, do you want to hurt his kids tonight?
You say he's a Jew, he'll never wear that funny hat again.
You say he's a Jew as though being born were a sin.
Oh Jew, oh Jew, do you hate him
Cause he's pieces of you?
Do you hate him, Cause he's pieces of you.

31. Alone again or - Calexico



Yeah
Said it's alright
I won't forget
All the times I've waited patiently for you
And you'll do just what you used to do
And I will be alone again tonight, my dear.

Yeah
I heard a funny thing
Somebody said to me,
"You know that I could be in love with almost everyone,
And I think that people are the greatest fun."
And I will be alone again tonight, my dear.
And I will be alone again tonight, my dear.

30. Monotone - A Naifa



Antes de saíres para o trabalho, arrumas à pressa o dia anterior
Para debaixo da cama.
Guardas o coração ainda adormecido bem dentro do teu corpo

E esqueces essa canção que já não passa na rádio
Mas que vive secretamente dentro de ti.
Fechas a porta à chave com duas voltas e sais.

Os teus passos na escada fria soam ligeiros e apagam-se,
Perde-se o rasto, easy listening,
Guardas tudo para ti como um ex-dj...
Assim partes, quase a correr.

Parada junto à passadeira, protegida num gesto ledo
Fixas o olhar na sombra dos carros que passam.
Esperas pelo sábado,
Pelo feriado e as suas pontes,
Pelas férias para ouvires as tuas canções.
Sentes-te longe, silenciosa de luz.

29. Only pain is real - Silence 4



You don't have to tell me what you came for
(yes I want it, I don't want it)
Your eyes are beaming cirlces on the floor
(yes I want it, I don't want it)
Your tongue like acid it burns my skin
(yes I want it, no I don't want it no)
I'm so defenseless from...

The lust, it fills my soul with screams
But when it stops, it kills, it makes me weak
What do you want from me?
Inside, only pain is real

Isn't this room smaller than before?
(yes I want it, I don't want it)
Are we closer or are we just bored?
(yes I want it, I don't want it)
The lack of oxygen makes my head spin
(yes I want it, no I don't want it no)
And just for a moment...

The love I feel so close, so real
But then it's not, I die, I'm raped, I'm chilled
What do you want from me?
you can't, I shake, I come, Burn...

All I want it's not what I want
All you want it's never what I need
Still I tried, like a perfect mirror I do what I see fit
All you want is all I give, all is right
Inside, only pain is real

28. Black - Pearl Jam



Hey...oooh...
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything?
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed Everything...

I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I will be...yeah...
Uh huh...uh huh...ooh...
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky, but why, why, why
Can't it be, can't it be mine

26. It's not - Aimee Mann



I keep going round and round on the same old circuit
A wire travels underground to a vacant lot
Where something I can't see interrupts the current
And shrinks the picture down to a tiny dot
And from behind the screen it can look so perfect
But it's not

So here I'm sitting in my car at the same old stop light
I keep waiting for a change but I don't know what
So red turns into green turning into yellow
But I'm just frozen here on the same old spot
And all I have to do is to press the pedal
But I'm not

People are tricky you can't afford to show
Anything risky anything they don't know
The moment you try - well kiss it goodbye

So baby kiss me like a drug, like a respirator
And let me fall into the dream of the astronaut
Where I get lost in space that goes on forever
And you make all the rest just an afterthought
And I believe it's you who could make it better
Though it's not
No it's not...
No it's not...

25. Treehouse - Ane Brun



When I woke
I took the backdoor to my mind
and then I spoke
I counted all of the good things you are

and that list of charms was
longer than my chain of broken hearts
and when the day was done
I figured I had already lost
from the start – from the start

I was gonna love you till the end of all daytime
and I was gonna keep all our secret signs and our lullabies
I was made to believe that our love would grow old
we were gonna live in a treehouse and make babies
and we were gonna bury our ex-lovers and their ghosts
baby we were made of gold

so many times
we drank fine wine in one swallow
and in those late nights
we painted our walls bright yellow
