452. Blue as your blood - The Walkmen







i'd give you all my love
i'd give you all my love
But my heart itself is broken
How many nights must lumber by

I sit alone and I wonder why
Oh hazy, lazy days
I could dream of you forever
Under the shade of a Juniper tree
I sing a sad song of you and me

The sky above, the sky above
Is blue as your blood
Black is the color of your eyelash
Spanish is the language of your tongue

Life rolled us over like a town car
Bruised up and busted to the ground

The Lord came down and said to me
Throw off your worries and be at peace

The sky above, the sky above
Is blue as your blood
In a hazy, lazy daydream

451. Woe is me - The Walkmen





There's a girl that you should know
She was mine not so long ago
Had my number and we fell in love
She put me under and I got lost
Lost my nerve and I lost my head, just about everything I had
Washed out and I
I couldn't see my hand in front of me.

Woe is me
Woe is me

Hey do you want to walk with me
By the trees and the factories?
Hey do you want to hop the fence?
In the sleepy red sunset
There's a girl that you should know
She was mine not so long ago
Had my number and we fell in love
She put me under and I got lost

Woe is me
Woe is me
Woe is me
Woe is me

Now the street light bright and pale
As we sip our ginger ale
I kiss you by the blinking signs
Don't get heavy, let's be light

On and on our merry way
On and on our merry way
On and on our merry way
On and on our merry way

450. This too shall pass - Ok Go



You know you can't keep letting it get you down
And you can't keep dragging that dead weight around.
If there ain't all that much to love around,
Better run like hell when you hit the ground.

When the morning comes.
When the morning comes.

You can't stop these kids from dancing.
Why would you want to?
Especially when your already getting yours.
'Cause if your mind don't move and your knees don't bend,
well don't start blaming the kids again.

When the morning comes.
When the morning comes.

When the morning comes.
When the morning comes.

When the morning comes.
When the morning comes.

Let it go, this too shall pass.
Let it go, this too shall pass.

You know you can't keep letting it get you down. No, you can't keep letting it get you down.

You know you can't keep letting it get you down. No, you can't keep letting it get you down.

You know you can't keep letting it get you down. No, you can't keep letting it get you down.

When the morning comes.


When the morning comes.


When the morning comes.


When the morning comes.


When the morning comes!

449. The look - Metronomy



You're up and you'll get down
You never running from this town
Kinda think you said
You'll never get anything better than this
'Cause you're going round in circle
And everyone knows you're trouble

Cause you read it in a big book
And now you giving me the look look
But just remember how we shook shook
And all the things we took took
This times the oldest friend of mine

Get up and we get down
We're always running round this town
And to think I said
We'd never make anything better than this
'Cause we're always in small circles
And everyone thinks we're trouble

We didn't read it in the big book
And now we're giving you the look look
Just remember how we shook shook
And all the things we took took
This times the oldest friend of mine

448. Scarborough fair - Simon & Garfunkel



Are you going to scarborough fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
(on the side of a hill in the deep forest green)
Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme
(tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground)
Without no seams nor needlework
(blankets and bedclothes a child of the mountains)
Then shell be a true love of mine
(sleeps unaware of the clarion call)

Tell her to find me an acre of land
(on the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves)
Parsley, sage, rosemary, & thyme
(washes the grave with silvery tears)
Between the salt water and the sea strand
(a soldier cleans and polishes a gun)
Then shell be a true love of mine

Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather
(war bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions)
Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme
(generals order their soldiers to kill)
And to gather it all in a bunch of heather
(and to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten)
Then shell be a true love of mine

Are you going to scarborough fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine

447. The trick is to keep breathing - Garbage



She's not the kind of girl
who likes to tell the world
about the way she feels about herself
She takes a little time
in making up her mind
She doesn't want to fight against the tide

Lately I'm not the only one
I say never trust anyone
Always the one who has to drag her down
Maybe you'll get what you want this time around

Can't bear to face the truth
So sick he cannot move
and when it hurts he takes it out on you

Lately I'm not the only one
I say never trust anyone
Always the one who has to drag her down
Maybe you'll get what you want this time around

The trick is to keep breathing
The trick is to keep breathing

She knows the human heart
and how to read the stars
Now everything's about to fall apart

I won't be the one who's going to let you down
Maybe you'll get what you want this time around
(the trick is to keep breathing)
I won't be the one who's going to let you down
(the trick is to keep breathing)
Maybe you'll get what you want this time around
The trick is to keep breathing
The trick is to keep breathing
The trick is to keep breathing
The trick is to keep breathing
The trick is to keep breathing
The trick is to keep breathing
The trick is to keep breathing

446. Milk - Garbage



I am milk
I am red hot kitchen
And I am cool
Cool as the deep blue ocean

I am lost
So I am cruel
But I’d be love and sweetness
If I had you

I’m waiting
I’m waiting for you
I’m waiting
I’m waiting for you

I am weak
But I am strong
I can use my tears to
Bring you home

I’m waiting
I’m waiting for you
I’m waiting
I’m waiting for you
I’m waiting
I’m waiting for you

I am milk
I am red hot kitchen
And I am cool
Cool as the deep blue ocean

I’m waiting
I’m waiting for you
I’m waiting
I’m waiting for you

I’m waiting
I’m waiting for you
I’m aching
I’m aching for you

I’m waiting
I’m waiting
I’m waiting for you

445. Largar o que há em vão - Tiago Bettencourt & Mantha



Tenho o teu abraço cheio
Com a solidão no meio
Que não me deixa abraçar
Tenho o teu olhar presente
E o desenhar do movimento do teu corpo a chegar
Tenho o teu riso sentado
Mistério do teu lado que preciso desprender
Tenho o corpo a correr
Tenho a noite a trespassar
Tenho medo de te ver
É perigoso este perfume
E a memoria do teu nome
É do fogo que nos une
Tenho espaço indeciso
Dá-me mais porque preciso
Mais um sopro do que tens

Deixa andar
Deixa ser
Quando queres entender o que não podes disfarçar
Escolhes não sentir mas não é teu para decidir

Se faz bem ao coração
Largar o que há em vão
Faz bem ao coração

Mesmo longe caiem rosas
Como pedras preciosas
Que confundem a razão
Mistério do teu lado
Entre o certo e o errado
Bem e o mal em discussão
Volta a teu o abraço cheio com o coração no meio
Volto eu a disparar
Não percebo o que queres
Diz-me tu o que preferes
Ir embora ou ficar
Este espaço intermédio
Entre a paz e o assédio não nos deixa evoluir
Não é dor nem fogo posto
É amar sem ser suposto
É difícil resistir

Deixa andar
Deixa ser
Quando queres entender o que não podes disfarçar
Escolhes não sentir mas não é teu para decidir

Se faz bem ao coração
Largar o que há em vão
Faz bem ao coração

Meu amor esta vontade
Meu amor se é verdade
Meu amor se queres saber
Abre espaço no que é teu
Vou-te dar o que é meu

Deixa andar
Deixa ser
Faz bem ao coração
Largar o que há em vão
Faz bem ao coração

444. Só mais uma volta - Tiago Bettencourt & Mantha



Só mais uma volta, só mais uma volta a mim
Só mais uma volta, desta, ninguém vai cair
Só mais uma vez que vês que ninguém está aqui
Queres só mais uma volta e desta ninguém vai cair

O tempo, o frio afasta o tempo que nos afastou
Primavera lança o laço que nos amarrou
Tempo quente dá vontade de não resistir
Queres só mais uma volta e desta ninguém vai cair

E ainda te sinto a seguir
O rasto que deixei correr
Ainda penso em ti
Pensa em mim
Mas só mais uma vez

Diz-me ao que queres jogar que eu vou querer também
Diz-me quanto queres de mim p’ra te sentires bem
Não te vejo mal ao longe, não sei distinguir
Queres só mais uma volta e desta ninguém vai cair

E ainda te sinto a seguir
O rasto que deixei correr
Ainda penso em ti
Pensa em mim
Mas só mais uma vez
Só mais uma vez

Diz-me quanto tens de honesto, quanto tens de bom
Diz-me quantas provas queres, diz-me quem eu sou
Já não sinto nada dentro, não sei perceber
Queres só mais uma volta e desta ninguém vai dizer

E ainda te sinto a seguir
O rasto que deixei correr
Ainda penso em ti
Pensa em mim
Mas só mais uma vez
Só mais uma vez
Só mais uma vez

443. I'm looking through you - The Wallflowers



I'm looking through you, where did you go?
I thought I knew you, what did I know?
You don't look different, but you have changed,
I'm looking through you, you're not the same

Your lips are moving, I cannot hear,
Your voice is soothing, but the words aren't clear
You don't sound different, I've learned the game,
I'm looking through you, you're not the same

Why, tell me why did you not treat me right,
Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight
You're thinking of me, the same old way,
You were above me, but not today

The only difference is you're down there,
I'm looking through you, and you're nowhere
Why, tell me why did you not treat me right,
Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight

I'm looking through you, where did you go?
I thought I knew you, what did I know?
You don't look different, but you have changed,
I'm looking through you, you're not the same

Yeah, oh, baby you've changed,
Baby you've changed.
I'm looking through you, I'm looking through you
I think you've changed.

442. I'll see you in my dreams - Django Reinhardt

441. Porto sentido - Rui Veloso



Quem vem e atravessa o rio
Junto à serra do Pilar
vê um velho casario
que se estende ate ao mar

Quem te vê ao vir da ponte
és cascata, são-joanina
dirigida sobre um monte
no meio da neblina.

Por ruelas e calçadas
da Ribeira até à Foz
por pedras sujas e gastas
e lampiões tristes e sós.

E esse teu ar grave e sério
dum rosto e cantaria
que nos oculta o mistério
dessa luz bela e sombria

[refrão]
Ver-te assim abandonada
nesse timbre pardacento
nesse teu jeito fechado
de quem mói um sentimento

E é sempre a primeira vez
em cada regresso a casa
rever-te nessa altivez
de milhafre ferido na asa

440. Corona - Calexico



The people will survive
In their environment
The dirt, the scarcity, the emptiness
Of our south

The injustices of our greed
A practice we merit
The dirt, the scarcity and emptiness
Of our south

There on the beach
I could see it in her eyes
I only had a corona
Five cents deposit

439. Recordar é viver - Vitor Espadinha



Foi em Setembro que te conheci
Trazias nos olhos a luz de Maio
Nas maos o calor de Agosto
E um sorriso
Um sorriso tao grande que nao cabia no tempo
Ouve, vamos ver o mar
Foste a trinta de Fevereiro de um ano por inventar
Falamos, falamos coisas tao loucas que acabamos em silencio
Por unir as nossas bocas
E eu aprendi a amar

REFRAO: Sim eu sei que tudo so recordacoes
Sim eu sei e triste viver de ilusoes
Mas tu foste a mais linda historia de amor
Que um dia me aconteceu
E recordar e viver, so tu e eu

Foi em Novembro que partiste
Levavas nos olhos as chuvas de Marco
E nas maos o mes frio de Janeiro
Lembro-me que me disseste que o meu corpo tremia
E eu, eu queria ser forte, respondi que tinha frio
Falei-te do vento norte
Nao, nao me digas adeus
Quem sabe, talvez um dia... como eu tremia, meu Deus
Amei como nunca amei
Fui louco, nao sei, talvez
Mas por pouco, por muito pouco eu voltaria a ser louco
Amar-te-ia outra vez

438. Good riddance (Time of your life) - Green Day



Another turning point
A fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist
Directs you where to go
So make the best of this test
And don't ask why
It's not a question
But a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life

So take the photographs
And still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in
Good health and good time
Tattoos of memories
And dead skin on trial
For what it's worth
It was worth all the while
It's something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life

[Instrumental Break]

It's something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life

It's something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life

437. Young adult friction - The Pains of Being Pure at Heart



between the stacks in the library
not like anyone stopped to see
we came they went, our bodies spent
among the dust and the microfiche

dark winters wear you down
up again to see the dawn
in your worn sweatshirt
and your mothers old skirt
its enough to turn my studies down

now that you feel, you say its not real

i never thought i would come of age
let alone on a moldy page
you put your back to the spines
and you said it was fine if there's nothing really left to say

you're taking toffee with your vicodin
something sweet to forget about him

if you go your own way i will go my own way
and we'll never speak of it again

don't check me out
