386. Helplessness Blues - Fleet Foxes

I was raised up believing I was somehow unique
Like a snowflake distinct among snowflakes, unique in each way you can see
And now after some thinking, I'd say I'd rather be
A functioning cog in some great machinery serving something beyond me

But I don't, I don't know what that will be
I'll get back to you someday soon you will see

What's my name, what's my station, oh, just tell me what I should do
I don't need to be kind to the armies of night that would do such injustice to you
Or bow down and be grateful and say "sure, take all that you see"
To the men who move only in dimly-lit halls and determine my future for me

And I don't, I don't know who to believe
I'll get back to you someday soon you will see

If I know only one thing, it's that everything that I see
Of the world outside is so inconceivable often I barely can speak
Yeah I'm tongue-tied and dizzy and I can't keep it to myself
What good is it to sing helplessness blues, why should I wait for anyone else?

And I know, I know you will keep me on the shelf
I'll come back to you someday soon myself

If I had an orchard, I'd work till I'm raw
If I had an orchard, I'd work till I'm sore
And you would wait tables and soon run the store

Gold hair in the sunlight, my light in the dawn
If I had an orchard, I'd work till I'm sore
If I had an orchard, I'd work till I'm sore
Someday I'll be like the man on the screen

385. Have one on me - Joanna Newsom

From the courtyard, I floated in
and watched it go down.
Heard the cup drop;
thought, "Well,
that's why they keep them around."
The blackguard sat hard, down,
with no head on him now,
and I felt so bad,
cause I didn't know how
to feel bad enough
to make him proud.

By the time you read this,
I will be so far away.
Daddy longlegs, how in the world
am I to be expected to stay?
In the night--
in the night, you may hear me call
Pa, stay your hand
and steel your resolve.
Stay where you are,
so long and tall.

Here's Lola--ta da!--to do
her famous Spider Dance for you!
Lighten up your pockets!
Shake her skirts and scatter, there,
a shrieking, six-legged millionaire
with a blight in his sockets.

Miss Montez,
the Countess of Lansfeld,
appealed to the King of Bavaria,
saying, "Pretty papa,
if you are my friend--
mister daddy longlegs, they are at it again!--
Can I see you?"

Poor Lola! A tarantula's mounting
Countess Lansfeld's
handsome brassiere,
while they all cheer.

And the old king fell from grace,
while Lola fled,
To save face and her career

You caught a fly, floating by,
Wait for him to drown in the dust;
drown in the dust of other flies,
whereby the machine is run,
and the deed is done.
Heaven has no word
for the way you and your friends
have treated poor Louis.
May god save your poor soul, Lola.
(But there is nothing I adore,
apart from that whore's black heart.)

Well, doesn't that just beat all!
Miss Gilbert,
called to Castlemaine
by the silver dollar and the gold glitter!
Well, I've seen lots,
but never, in a million years,
would think to see you, here.

Though the long road
begins and ends with you,
I cannot seem to make amends
with you, Louis.
When we go out,
they're bound to see you with me.

At night, I walk in the park,
with a whip,
between the lines
of the whispering Jesuits,
who are poisoning you against me.
There's a big black spider
hanging over my door.
Can't go anywhere, anymore.
Tell me, are you with me?

I called to you, several times,
while the change took place
and then arrived, all night,
and I died.
But all these songs,
when you and I are long gone,
will carry on.
Mud in your eye.

You asked my hand,
hired a band.
"In your heart is all that you need;
ask and you will receive," it is said.
I threw my bouquet,
and I knocked 'em dead.

Bottle of white, bottle of red.
Helpless as a child,
when you held me in your arms,
and I knew that no other
could ever love me as you loved.
But help me! I'm leaving!

I remember everything,
down to the sound of you shaving--
the scrape of your razor,
the dully-abrading black hair
that remained
when you clutched at me,
that night I came upstairs, half-dead,
and, in your kindness,
you put me straightaway
in the cupboard,
with a bottle of champagne,
and then, later, on a train.

It was dark out, I was half-dead.
I saw a star fall into the sky,
like a chunk of thrown coal,
as if god himself spat
like a cornered rat.

I really want you to do this for me,
will you have one on me?

It was dark; I was drunk and half-dead,
and we slept, knocking heads,
sitting up in the star-smoking air,
knocking heads like buoys.

Don't you worry for me!
Have one on me!

Meanwhile, I will raise my own glass
to how you made me fast
and expendable,
and I will drink to your excellent health,
and your cruelty.
Will you have one on me?

--helpless as a child,
when you held me in your arms,
and I knew that no other
could ever love me--

From the courtyard, I floated in
and watched it go down.
Heard the cup drop;
thought, "Well, that's why
they keep them around."
The blackguard sat hard, down,
with no head on him now,
and I felt so bad,
cause I didn't know how
to feel bad enough
to make him proud.

Well daddy longlegs, are you?
Daddy longlegs, are you?
Daddy longlegs, are you proud?

384. '81 - Joanna Newsom

I found a little plot of land
in the garden of eden
it was dirt and dirt is all the same

I tilled it with my two hands
and I called it my very own
There was no one to dispute my claim

Well, you'd be shocked at the state of things
The whole place had just cleared right out
It was hotter than hell, so I lay me by a spring
For a spell as naked as a trout

The wandering eye that I have caught
Is as hot as a wandering sun
But I will want for nothing more, in the garden
To start again
In the hardening of every new heart but one

Meet me in the garden of Eden,
Bring a friend, we are going to have a time
We have are going to have a garden party,
It's on me, no sir-e, it's my dime

We broke out hearts in the war between
St. George and the dragon
But both in equal parts are welcome to come along
To come along, I'm inviting everyone

Farewell, to loves that i have known
Even muddiest as waters run
Tell me what is meant by sitting alone in a garden,
Seceded from the Union in the year of '81?

The unending amends you made
Are enough for one life, be done
I believe in innocence, little darling, start again
I believe in everyone

I believe, regardless, I believe in everyone

382. John Wayne Gacy Jr - Sufjan Stevens

His father was a drinker
And his mother cried in bed
Folding John Wayne's T-shirts
When the swingset hit his head
The neighbors they adored him
For his humor and his conversation
Look underneath the house there
Find the few living things
Rotting fast in their sleep of the dead
Twenty-seven people, even more
They were boys with their cars, summer jobs
Oh my God

Are you one of them?

He dressed up like a clown for them
With his face paint white and red
And on his best behavior
In a dark room on the bed he kissed them all
He'd kill ten thousand people
With a sleight of his hand
Running far, running fast to the dead
He took of all their clothes for them
He put a cloth on their lips
Quiet hands, quiet kiss
On the mouth

And in my best behavior
I am really just like him
Look beneath the floorboards
For the secrets I have hid

381.There is a light that never goes out - The Smiths

Take me out tonight
Where there's music and there's people
Who are young and alive
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one anymore

Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people
And I want to see life
Driving in your car
Oh please don't drop me home
Because it's not my home, it's their home
And I'm welcome no more

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well the pleasure, the privilege is mine

Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
And in the darkened underpass
I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last
But then a strange fear gripped me
And I just couldn't ask

Take me out tonight
Oh take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one
No, I haven't got one

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes in to us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well the pleasure, the privilege is mine

There is a light that never goes out
There is a light that never goes out
There is a light that never goes out
There is a light that never goes out

380. On the beach - Neil Young

The world is turnin',
I hope it don't turn away,
The world is turnin',
I hope it don't turn away.
All my pictures are fallin'
from the wall where
I placed them yesterday.
The world is turnin',
I hope it don't turn away.

I need a crowd of people,
but I can't face them
day to day,
I need a crowd of people,
but I can't face them
day to day.
Though my problems
are meaningless,
that don't make them
go away.
I need a crowd of people,
but I can't face them
day to day.

I went to the radio interview,
but I ended up alone
at the microphone,
I went to the radio interview,
but I ended up alone
at the microphone.
Now I'm livin'
out here on the beach,
but those seagulls are
still out of reach.
I went to the radio interview,
but I ended up alone
at the microphone.

Get out of town,
think I'll get out of town,
Get out of town,
think I'll get out of town.
I head for the sticks
with my bus and friends,
I follow the road,
though I don't know
where it ends.
Get out of town, get out of town,
think I'll get out of town.

'Cause the world is turnin',
I don't want to
see it turn away.

379. Mykonos - Juliana Richer

Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

The door slammed loud and rose up a cloud of dust on us
Footsteps follow, down through the hollow sound, torn up

And you will go to Mykonos
With a vision of a gentle coast
And a sun to maybe dissipate
Shadows of the mess you made

Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

How did any holes in the snow-tipped pines, I find
Hatching from the seed of your thin mind, all night

And you will go to Mykonos
With a vision of a gentle coast
And a sun to maybe dissipate
Shadows of the mess you made

Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Brother, you don't need to turn me away
I was waiting down at the ancient gate
You go wherever you go today
You go today

I remember how they took you down
As the winter turned the meadow brown
You go wherever you go today
You go today

When out walking, brother, don't you forget
It ain't often that you'll ever find a friend

You go wherever you go today
You go today
You go wherever you go today
You go today
You go wherever you go today
You go today
You go wherever you go today
You go today
You go wherever you go today
You go today
You go wherever you go today
You go today
You go wherever you go today
You go today

377. Good Intentions Paving Company - Joanna Newsom

Twenty miles left to the show
Hello, my old country, hello
Stars are just beginning to appear
And I have never in my life before been here

And it's my heart, not me, who cannot drive
At which conclusion you arrived
Watching me sit here bolt upright and cry
For no good reason at the Eastering sky

And the tilt of this strange nation
And the will to remain for the duration
Waving the flag
Feeling it drag

Like a bump on a bump on a log, baby
Like I'm in a fist fight with a fog, baby
Step-ball-change and a pirouette
And I regret, I regret

How I said to you, "honey, just open your heart"
When I've got trouble even opening a honey jar
And that right there is where we are...

And I been 'fessing double fast
Addressing questions nobody asked
I'll get this joy off of my chest at last
And I will love you 'til the noise has long since passed

And I did not mean to shout, just drive
Just get us out, dead or alive
A road too long to mention, lord, it's something to see!
Laid down by the good intentions paving company

All the way to the thing we've been playing at, darlin'
I can see that you're wearing your staying hat, darlin'
For the time being all is well
Won't you love me a spell?

This is blindness beyond all conceiving
Well, behind us the road is leaving, yeah, leaving
And falling back
Like a rope gone slack

Well, I saw straight away that the lay was steep
But I fell for you, honey, as easy as falling asleep
And that right there is the course I keep...

And no amount of talking
Is going to soften the fall
But, like after the rain, step out
Of the overhang, that's all

It had a nice a ring to it
When the ol' opry house rang
So with a solemn auld lang
Signed, sealed, delivered, I sang

And there is hesitation
And it always remains
Concerning you, me,
And the rest of the gang

And in our quiet hour
I feel I see everything
And am in love with the hook
Upon which everyone hangs

And I know you meant to show the extent
To which you gave a goddang
You ranged real hot and real cold but I'm sold
I am home on that range

And I do hate to fold
Right here at the top of my game
When I've been trying with my whole heart and soul
To stay right here in the right lane

But it can make you feel over and old
Lord, you know it's a shame
When I only want for you to pull over and hold me
'Til I can't remember my own name

376. Valencia - Josh Rouse

Allá me iré,
Ciudad de Valencia,
Ciudad de las playas,
De donde eres tú.

Allá me iré,
Ciudad de Valencia
Donde viven falleras,
Como eres tú, como eres tú

Me da un poco y quiero más
Camarero, ponme un Kas
Y yo vivo en la calle Jesús
Dime Mari ¿a donde vas?

375. Linhas Cruzadas - Virgem Suta

Reajo a esse incomodo olhar
Nem quero acreditar
Que vem na minha direção
Há dias que estou a reparar
Nem queres disfarçar
Roubas a minha atenção
Aprecio o teu dom de tornar
Num clique o meu falar
Numa total confusão
Confesso que só de imaginar
Que te vou encontrar
Me sobe à boca o coração

(Refrão)
E falas de ti
E Falas do tempo
Prolongas o momento
De um simples cumprimentar
Falas do dia
Falas da noite
Nem sei que responda
Perdido no teu olhar

É certo que sempre ouvi dizer
Que do querer ao fazer
Vai um enorme esticão
Mas haverá quem possa negar
Que querer é poder
E o nunca é uma invenção
Bem sei que este nosso cruzar
Pode até nem passar
De um capricho sem valor
Mas porque raio hei-de evitar
Se esse teu ar
Me trouxe ao sangue calor

(Refrão)
E falas de ti
E Falas do tempo
Prolongas o momento
De um simples cumprimentar
Falas do dia
Falas da noite
Nem sei que responda
Perdido no teu olhar

374. Mustat varjot - Egotrippi

Kerrohan mistä mustat varjot nuo
Aina jostain tiensä minun luo
Tuntuvat löytävän
Käsiinsä mut etsivän

Kerrohan vielä miksi matka tuo
Enää varjon verran valon luo
Jatkuu vain vaikka tiedän sen
Vaativan vain askeleen

Kerrohan mistä mustat varjot nuo
Aina jostain tiensä minun luo
Tuntuvat löytävän
Käsiinsä mut etsivän

Kerrohan mistä mustat varjot nuo
Aina jostain tiensä minun luo
Tuntuvat löytävän
Käsiinsä mut etsivän

Kerrohan mistä mustat varjot nuo
Kerrohan mistä mustat varjot nuo
Kerrohan mistä mustat varjot nuo
Aina jostain tiensä minun luo
Tuntuvat löytävän
Käsiinsä mut etsivän

373. Canção da Paciência - J. P. Simões

Muitos sóis e luas irão nascer
Mais ondas na praia rebentar
Já não tem sentido ter ou não ter
Vivo com o meu ódio a mendigar

Tenho muitos anos para sofrer
Mais do que uma vida para andar
Beba o fel amargo até morrer
Já não tenho pena sei esperar

A cobiça é fraca melhor dizer
A vida não presta para sonhar
Minha luz dos olhos que eu vi nascer
Num dia tão breve a clarear

As àguas do rio são de correr
Cada vez mais perto sem parar
Sou como o morcego vejo sem ver
Sou como o sossego sei esperar

372. Space Girl - The Imagined Village

My mama told me I should never venture into space,
But I did, I did, I did,
She said no terran girl could trust the martian race,
But I did, I did, I did.

A rocket pilot asked me on a voyage to go,
And I was so romantic, I couldn't say no
That he was just a servo robot how was I to know?
So I did, I did, I did.
She told me never venture out among the asteroids
But I did, I did, I did.
She said the Milky Way was something to avoid
So I did, I did, I did.
She said that Venus was too hot and Saturn not much fun
And bug-eyed monsters tended to be just a trifle dumb.
She said I'd need a blaster and I'd need a freezer gun
And I did, I did, I did.

My mama told me never trust a space engineer
But I did, I did, I did.
She said freefall and superdrive would surely cost me dear
And they did, they did, they did.
I've been as far in hyperspace as anybody can,
I've travelled through the time warp in the Psycho Plan.
They say a gal must travel for to find her superman
And I did, I did, I did.

371. Lado de lá - Cavalheiro

Dizes-me bem baixinho
"Isto assim já não vai dar"
Puxas-me com carinho
Mas estou do lado de lá

Que barreira invísivel
que distância impossível
mas que eterno Dezembro
o que era bom já nem me lembro

Tanto nós nos esforçamos
Tanto no fim nós falhamos
Tanto juntos construímos
Tanto agora destruímos

Mas que beco sem saída
este fim nesta corrida
mas que pesada herança
para quem já tem tão pouca esperança

Vamos começar a acabar
Vamos sentir tudo a parar
Seria tão bom que não fosse assim
Seria tão bom adiar o fim

370. In the morning of the magicians - The Flaming Lips

In the morning I'd awake and I couldn't remember
What is love and what is hate? - the calculations error
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-what is love and what is hate?
And why does it matter? - Is to love just a waste?
How can it matter? Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh; oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.

As the dawn began to break - I had to surrender
The universe will have its way - too powerful to master
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-what is love and what is hate?
And why does it matter? - Is to love just a waste?
how can it matter? Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
