585. Cup of coffee - Garbage





You tell me you don't love me over a cup of coffee
And I just have to look away
A million miles between us
Planets crashing to dust
I just let it fade away

I'm walking empty streets hoping we might meet
I see your car parked on the road
The light on at your window
I know for sure that you're home
But I just have to pass on by

So no of course we can't be friends
Not while I'm still this obsessed
I guess I always knew the score
This is how our story ends

I smoke your brand of cigarettes
And pray that you might give me a call
I lie around in bed all day just staring at the walls
Hanging round bars at night wishing I had never been born
And give myself to anyone who wants to take me home

So no of course we can't be friends
Not while I still feel like this
I guess I always knew the score
This is where our story ends

You left behind some clothes
My belly summersaults when I pick them off the floor
My friends all say they're worried
I'm looking far too skinny
I've stopped returning all their calls

And no of course we can't be friends
Not while I'm still so obsessed
I want to ask where I went wrong
But don't say anything at all

It took a cup of coffee
To prove that you don't love me

584. No church in the wild - Jay-Z & Kanye West



[Hook: Frank Ocean]
Human beings in a mob
What's a mob to a king? What's a king to a God?
What's a God to a non-believer who don't believe in anything?
Will he make it out alive? Alright, alright, no church in the wild

[Jay-Z]
Tears on the mausoleum floor, blood stains the Colosseum doors
Lies on the lips of a priest, Thanksgiving disguised as a feast
Rolling in Rolls Royce Corniche
Only the doctors got this, I’m hiding from police
Cocaine seats, all white like I got the whole thing bleached
Drug dealer chic, I’m wondering if a thug’s prayers reach
Is Pious pious cause God loves pious?
Socrates asked whose bias do y'all seek?
All for Plato, screech, I’m out here balling, I know yall hear my sneaks
Jesus was a carpenter, Yeezy he laid beats
Hova flow the Holy Ghost, get the hell up out your seats, preach

[Hook]

[Bridge: The-Dream]
I live by you, desire
I stand by you, walk through the fire
Your love is my scripture
Let me into your encryption

[Kanye West]
Coke on her black skin
Make a stripe like a zebra, I call that jungle fever
You will not control the threesome
Just roll the weed up until I get me some
We formed a new religion
No sins as long as there’s permission
And deception is the only felony
So never fuck nobody without telling me
Sunglasses and Advil, last night was mad real
Sun coming up, 5 a.m., I wonder if they got cabs still?
Thinking 'bout the girl in all leopard
Who was rubbing the wood like Kiki Shepherd
Two tattoos one read "No Apologies"
The other said "Love is Cursed by Monogamy"
It’s something that the pastor don’t preach
It’s something that a teacher can’t teach
When we die the money we can’t keep
But we probably spend it all cause the pain ain’t cheap, preach

583. Well thought out twinkles - Silversun Pickups





what was that scar situated from afar
what was that light integrated in your mind
what have you done it's too early for everyone
wait for that sign spilling over and passed in time

come join in the last hurrah with open sores and open jaw
find one last flaw and keep it safe and free from harm
what have you done it's too early for everyone
so smile go inside come to see there is no sign

now here we are revisiting
a time a place a whole industry well we
we promise we'll be leaving soon
we share apocalyptic views
how comforting that we feel it too
who are we to promise we'll be leaving shortly

come join in the last hurrah with open sores and open
jaw
what was that light integrated in your mind
what have you done it's too early for everyone
wait for that sign spilling over and over and
over........

582. A vida é feita de pequenos nadas - Sérgio Godinho



(Segunda-feira
trabalhei de olhos fechados
na terça-feira
acordei impaciente
na quarta-feira
vi os meus braços revoltados
na quinta-feira
lutei com a minha gente
na sexta-feira
soube que ia continuar
no sábado
fui à feira do lugar
mais uma corrida, mais uma viagem
fim-de-semana é para ganhar coragem)

Muito boa noite, senhoras e senhores
muito boa noite, meninos e meninas
muito boa noite, Manuéis e Joaquinas
enfim, boa noite, gente de todas as cores
e feitios e medidas
e perdoem-me as pessoas
que ficaram esquecidas
boa noite, amigos, companheiros, camaradas
a vida é feita de pequenos nadas
a vida é feita de pequenos nadas

Somos tantos a não ter quase nada
porque há uns poucos que têm quase tudo
mas nada vale protestar
o melhor ainda é ser mudo
isto diz de um gabinete
quem acha que o casse-tête
é a melhor das soluções
para resolver situações
delicadas
a vida é feita de pequenos nadas

E o que é certo
é que os que têm quase tudo
devem tudo aos que têm muito pouco
mas fechem bem esses ouvidos
que o melhor ainda é ser mouco
isto diz paternalmente
quem acha que é ponto assente
que isto nunca vai mudar
e que o melhor é começar a apanhar
umas chapadas
a vida é feita de pequenos nadas

Ouvi dizer que quase tudo vale pouco
quem o diz não vale mesmo nada
porque não julguem que a gente
vai ficar aqui especada
à espera que a solução
seja servida em boião
com um rótulo: Veneno!
é para tomar desde pequeno
às colheradas
a vida é feita de pequenos nadas
boa noite, amigos, companheiros, camaradas
a vida é feita de pequenos nadas.

581. Sleight of hand - Pearl Jam





Routine was the theme. He'd wake up wash and pour himself into uniform.
Something he hadn't imagined being.
As the merging traffic passed he found himself staring down at his own hands.
Not remembering the change. Not recalling the plan. Was it?

He was okay but wondering about wandering.
Was it age by consequence or was he moved by sleight of hand?

Mondays were made to fall. Lost on a road he knew by heart.
It was like a book he read in his sleep. Endlessly.
Sometimes he hid in the radio watching other pull into their homes.
While he was drifting.

On a line of his own. Off the line of the side. Bye the by.
As dirt turned to sand. As if moved by sleight of hand.

When he reached the shore of his clip on world he resurfaced to the norm.
Organized his few things. His coat and keys.
And he knew realizations would have to wait.
Till he had more time. More time.

A time to dream to himself. He waves goodbye to himself.
I'll see you on the other side.
Another man moved by sleight of hand.

580. Winter winds - Mumford & Sons



As the winter winds litter London with lonely hearts
Oh the warmth in your eyes swept me into your arms
Was it love or fear of the cold that led us through the night?
For every kiss your beauty trumped my doubt

And my head told my heart
"Let love grow"
But my heart told my head
"This time no
This time no"

We'll be washed and buried one day my girl
And the time we were given will be left for the world
The flesh that lived and loved will be eaten by plague
So let the memories be good for those who stay

And my head told my heart
"Let love grow"
But my heart told my head
"This time no"
Yes, my heart told my head
"This time no
This time no"

Oh the shame that sent me off from the God that I once loved
Was the same that sent me into your arms
Oh and pestilence is won when you are lost and I am gone
And no hope, no hope will overcome

And if your strife strikes at your sleep
Remember spring swaps snow for leaves
You'll be happy and wholesome again
When the city clears and sun ascends

And my head told my heart
"Let love grow"
But my heart told my head
"This time no"

And my head told my heart
"Let love grow"
But my heart told my head
"This time no
This time no"

579. 1940 - The Submarines





Somethings wrong when you regret
Things that haven't happened yet
But it's a glorious day when morning comes
Without the feeling of alarm

So rise, and shine
Nows the time to be alive
To stay awake with me a while, and smile

You couldn't sleep for the awful fright
That kept you up in bed last
But curious shape shift in the dark,
They vanish with the sunrise spark

So rise, and shine
Nows the time to be alive
To stay awake with me a while, and smile

So rise, and shine
Nows the time to be alive
To stay awake with me a while

So rise, and shine
Nows the time to be alive
To stay awake with me a while, and smile

Somethings wrong. . . .

578. Pumped up kicks - Foster The People



Robert's got a quick hand
He'll look around the room he won't tell you his plan
He's got a rolled cigarette
Hanging out his mouth he's a cowboy kid

Yeah he found a six shooter gun
In his dad's closet in a box of fun things
And i don't even know what
But he's coming for you, yeah he's coming for you

All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
Better run, better run faster than my bullet

Daddy works a long day
He be coming home late, yeah he's coming home late
And he's bring me a surprise
Cause dinner's in the kitchen and it's packed in ice

I've waited for a long time
Yeah the slight of my hand is now a quick pull trigger
I reason with my cigarette
Then say your hair's on fire you must have lost your wits yeah

All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
Better run, better run faster than my bullet

577. Srª. Maria do Olival - Quinta do Bill



Que tentação por-me ao
Caminho
Logo pela manhã
De que me serve, toda esta
Pressa
Se ela vai longe
Minha alma é a tulipa da aurora
Oh dama de escuro
Não vos tarda a demora.

Senhora Maria do Olival
Fui chama do pecado sensual
Desculpai-me a maçada, eu sei
Mas não fiz por mal.

Sinto em mim, todo este vazio
Para onde vou eu?
Por este mar de ilusões
Que me traz a paz
Ai, que vida esta, quando a lua
É cheia
Minha boa amiga
Que eu vou cantando.

Senhora Maria do Olival
Fui chama do pecado sensual
Desculpai-me a maçada, eu sei
Mas não fiz por mal.

576. De segunda a sexta-feira - Quinta do Bill



De 2ª a 6ª feira tudo passa lento
nasce o dia sempre igual em tom cinzento
onde apenas sou mais um, nem sequer só por um momento
paro um pouco p'ra pensar neste seu tormento

Pois eu sou filho de gente que não desatina
toda a vida fui fiel a uma doutrina
que apenas me reprime, me sufoca e me disciplina
quem me aponta uma saída para esta rotina

6ª à noite não me falem mais de trabalho
eu quero ir embora para o arraial dançar, pular
tenho uma amiga à espera
Pelo menos uma vez que seja diferente e tente me
perder
seja apenas um escravo do prazer

575. Filhos da nação - Quinta do Bill



Aqui estás tu, jovem atento
acordado neste fim de século
à espera de um lugar
difícil de encontrar
no canudo vive a esperança.
Atrás das luzes em vertigem
ao medo da noite decente
que tens que conquistar
tu tens de conquistar

Ai estes são os filhos da nação
adultos para sempre
ansiosos por saber
se a cruz é salvação
Pões as cenas sem nada para temer
velho cúmplice da decisão
presa é uma ordem
que não podes quebrar,
o desfacinado ofício da vitória
A fúria de um monólogo
que insiste em partilhar
mas não entendes porquê
mas não entendes porquê

574. Maria - Xutos e Pontapés



De Bragança a Lisboa
São 9 Horas de distância
Q'ria ter um avião
P'ra lá ir mais amiúde
Dei cabo da tolerância
Rebentei com três radares
Só para te ter mais perto
Só para tu te dares
E saio Agora!
E vou correndo!
E vou-me embora!
E vou correndo!
Já não demora!
E vou correndo p'ra ti...Maria!!
Outra vez vim de Lisboa
Num comboio azarado
Nem máquina tinha ainda
E já estava atrasado
Dei comigo agarrado
Ao porteiro mais pequeno
E tu de certeza à espera
Rebolando-te no feno
E saio agora!
E vou correndo!
E vou-me embora!
E vou correndo!
Já não demora!
E vou correndo p'ra ti...Maria!!
Seja de noite ou de dia
Trago sempre na lembrança
A cor da tua alegria
O cheiro da tua trança
De Bragança a Lisboa
São 9 Horas de distância
Q'ria ter um avião
P'ra lá ir mais amiúde
E saio Agora!
E vou correndo!
E vou-me embora!
E vou correndo!
E vou-me embora!
E vou correndo p'ra ti...Maria!!
Maria!! Maria!! Maria!!

573. You are what you love - Jenny Lewis



This is no great illusion
When I'm with you I'm looking for a ghost
Or invisible reasons
To fall out of love and run screaming from our home

Because we live in a house of mirrors
We see our fears and everything
Our songs, faces, and second hand clothes
But more and more we're suffering
Not nobody, not a thousand beers
Will keep us from feeling so all alone

But you are what you love
And not what loves you back
That's why I'm here on your doorstep
Pleading for you to take me back

The phone is a fine invention
It allows me to talk endlessly to you
About nothing disguising my intentions
Which I'm afraid, my friend, are wildly untrue

It's a sleight of hand, a white soul band
The heart attacks I'm convinced I have
Every morning upon waking
To you I'm a symbol or a monument
Your rite of passage to fufillment
But I'm not yours for the taking

But you are what you love
And not what loves you back
So I guess that's why you keep calling me back

I'm fraudulent, a thief at best
A coward who paints a bullsh_t canvas
Things that will never happen to me
But at arms length, it's Tim who said
I'm good at it, I've mastered it
Avoiding, avoiding everything

But you are what you love, Tim
And not what loves you back
And I'm in love with illusions
So saw me in half
I'm in love with tricks
So pull another rabbit out of your hat

572. Lonely boy - The Black Keys



Well I’m so above you
And it’s plain to see
But I came to love you anyway
So you tore my heart out
And I don’t mind bleeding
Any old time to keep me waiting
Waiting, waiting
Chorus:
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
I’m a lonely boy
I’m a lonely boy
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
Well your mama kept you but your daddy left you
And I should’ve done you just the same
But I came to love you
And I want to flee
Any old time you keep me waiting
Waiting, waiting
Chorus:
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
I’m a lonely boy
I’m a lonely boy
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
I’m a lonely boy
I’m a lonely boy
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting

571. Not there yet - Luísa Sobral





I see a tree
I see a house
I see children playing
Going inside and out

I see sunflowers
everywhere
And a big scarecrow
with a hat on his head

And I'm not there yet
But someday I'll be
And i'm not there yet
But we'll see

Will you ask me
To go inside
Will you hold me and dance
Will you lay down by my side
Be there forever 'till we die

And you're not there yet
But someday you'll be
And you're not there yet
But we'll see

Will we have a sunday picnic
Will the boys wear blue and the girls wear pink
Will we travel around the world
Will we make everybody watch our family slideshows

But we're not there yet
But someday we'll be
And we're not there yet
But we'll see
And we're not there yet
Maybe we'll never ever be
And we're not there yet
But we'll see

570. Fidelity - Regina Spektor



I never loved nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting my heart truly
I got lost in the sounds
I hear in my mind
All these voices
I hear in my mind
All of these words
I hear in mind
All this music
And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
Well, it breaks my heart

Suppose I never ever met you
Suppose we never fell in love
Suppose I never ever let you
Kiss me so sweet and so soft
Suppose I never ever saw you
Suppose you never ever called
Suppose I kept on singing love songs
Just to break my own fall
Just to break my fall
Just to break my fall
Just to break my fall
Break my fall
Break my fall

All my friends say
That of course it's
Gonna get better
Gonna get better
Better
Better
Better
Better
Better
Better
Better

I never loved nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting my heart truly
I got lost in the sounds
I hear in my mind
All of these voices
I hear in my mind
All of these words
I hear in mind
All this music
And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
I hear in my mind
All of these voices
I hear in my mind
All of these words
I hear in my mind
All of this music
And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
Breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart

569. Misread - Kings of Convenience





If you wanna be my friend
You want us to get along
Please do not expect me to
Wrap it up and keep it there
The observation I am doing could
Easily be understood
As cynical demeanour
But one of us misread...
And what do you know
It happened again

A friend is not a means
You utilize to get somewhere
Somehow I didn't notice
friendship is an end
What do you know
It happened again

How come no-one told me
All throughout history
The loneliest people
Were the ones who always spoke the truth
The ones who made a difference
By withstanding the indifference
I guess it's up to me now
Should I take that risk or just smile?

What do you know
It happened again
What do you know

568. Where I end and you begin - Radiohead



There's a gap in between
There's a gap where we meet
Where I end and you begin
And I'm sorry for us
The dinosaurs roam the earth
The sky turns green
Where I end and you begin
I am up in the clouds
I am up in the clouds
And I can't and I can't come down
I can watch and cant take part
Where I end and where you start
Where you, you left me alone
You left me alone
X'll mark the place
Like the parting of the waves
Like a house falling in the sea
In the sea
I will eat you alive [x4]
There'll be no more lies [x4]
I will eat you alive [x4]
There'll be no more lies [x4]
I will eat you alive [x4]
There are no more lies [x4]
I will eat you alive [x3]

567. I wonder - Kanye West



Find your dreams come true
And I wonder if you know
What it means, what it means
And I wonder if you know
What it means, what it means
And I wonder if you know
What it means to find your dreams

I've been waiting on this my whole life
These dreams be waking me up at night
You say I think I'm never wrong
You know what, maybe you're right, aight

And I wonder if you know
What it means, what it means
And I wonder if you know
What it means to find your dreams

You say he get on your fucking nerves
You hope that he get what he deserves, word
Do you even remember what the issue is
You just trying to find where the tissue is
You can still be who you wish you is
It ain't happen yet
And that's what the intuition is
When you hop back in the car
Drive back to the crib
Run back to their arms
The smokescreens
The chokes and the screams
You ever wonder what it all really mean

And I wonder if you know
What it means, what it means
And I wonder if you know
What it means to find your dreams

And I'm back on my grind
A psychic read my lifeline
Told me in my lifetime
My name would help light up the Chicago skyline
And that's what I'm
Seven o'clock, that's primetime
Heaven'll watch, God calling from the hot lines
Why he keep giving me hot lines
I'm a star, how could I not shine
How many ladies in the house
How many ladies in the house without a spouse
Something in your blouse got me feeling so aroused
What you about
On that independent shit
Trade it all for a husband and some kids
You ever wonder what it all really mean
You ever wonder if you'll find your dreams

566. Simple song - The Shins



well this is just a simple song
to say ‘what you done?’
i told you about all those fears
and away they did run
you sure must be strong
and you feel like an ocean
being warmed by the sun

when i was just nine years old
i swear that i dreamt
your face on a football field
and a kiss that i kept
under my vest
apart from everything, the heart in my chest

chorus:
i know that things can really get rough when you go it alone
don’t go thinking you gotta be tough, complete like a stone
could be there’s nothing else in our lives so critical
as this little hope!

my life in an action boat, marooned on a cliff
you brought me a great big flood
and you gave me a lift
oh what a gift
you tell me with your tongue
and your breath goes in the lungs
and the flow that filled the rift

chorus:
i know that things can really get rough when you go it alone
don’t go thinking you gotta be tough, complete like a stone
could be there’s nothing else in our lives so critical
as this little hope!

well this will be a simple song to say what you’ve done
i told you about all those years and away they did run
and where they did wrong
you sure must be strong
and you feel like an ocean
being warmed by the sun

remember walking a mile to your house that glow in the dark
i made a fumbling play for your heart and the extra of the spark
you wore a charm in a chain that i stole specially for you
love’s such a delicate thing that we do , we’ve nothing to prove
which i never knew

565. Little black submarines - The Black Keys



Little black submarines
Operator please
Put me back on the line
Told my girl I'd be back
Operator please
This is wrecking my mind

Oh, can it be
The voices calling me
They get lost and out of time
I should've seen it glow
But everybody knows
That a broken heart is blind
That a broken heart is blind

Pick you up, let you down
When I wanna go
To a place I can hide
You know me, I had plans
But they just disappeared
To the back of my mind

Oh, can it be
The voices calling me

They get lost and out of time
I should've seen it glow
But everybody knows
That a broken heart is blind
That a broken heart is blind

Treasure maps, falling trees
Operator please
Call me back when it's time
Stolen friends and disease
Operator please
Pass me back to my mind

Oh, can it be
The voices calling me
They get lost and out of time
I should've seen it go
But everybody knows
That a broken heart is blind
That a broken heart is blind
That a broken heart is blind

564. The bay - Metronomy



You may have the money
But you've got to go
It's sensible
It's sensible
And those endless seasons
That go on and on
Incredible

But I'd sooner get out
And remember where we went last year
You said everything about it moved on your career
If you want to go
I'll take you back one day

Because this isn't Paris
And this isn't London
And it's not Berlin
And it's not Hong Kong
Not Tokyo
If you want to go
I'll take you back one day

It feels so good in the bay
It feels so good in the bay
You may have the body
But do you have the song?
Let's make this happen
Let's make this happen
And those endless beaches
That go on and on
It's magical

But I'd sooner get out
Remember where we went last year
You said everything about it moved on your career
If you want to go
I'll take you back one day

Because this isn't Paris
And this isn't London
And it's not Berlin
And it's not Hong Kong
Not Tokyo
If you want to go
I'll take you back one day

It feels so good in the bay
It feels so good in the bay

563. Filha de duas mães - A Naifa



filha de duas mães
adoro vesti-las de igual
tenho andado à tua procura
para te amar

sobre a mesa posta
sem nenhuma vaidade
ensinar-te-ei meu amor
a praticar a caridade

nunca direi saudade
ligo pouco ao que se diz
mas não levo muito a mal
a ideia de ser feliz

562. I've got this friend - The Civil Wars



I've got this friend
I don't think you know him
He's not much for words
He's hidden his heart away

Oh I've got this friend
A loveless romantic
All that he really wants
Is someone to want him back

Ohh, if the right one came
If the right one came along
Ohh, If the right one came, along

I've got this friend
I don't think you know her
She sings a simple song
It sounds a lot like his
Oh I've got this friend
Holding onto her heart
Like it's a little secret
Like it's all she's got to give

Ohh, if the right one came
If the right one came along
Ohh, if the right one came, along

It'd be such a shame
(If they never meet)
She sounds lovely
(He sounds right out of a dream)
If only
(If only)
If only

Ohh
Ohh, if the right one came
If the right one came along
Ohh, (I've got this friend) if the right one came
If the right one came along
Ohh, (I've got this friend)
If the right one came, along

561. Sophia - Laura Marling





Oh I have been wondering where I have been pondering
Where I've been lately is no concern of yours
Who's been touching my skin
Who have I been letting
Shy and tired eyed am I now today

I'm wounded by dust
All I have been wondering where I have been pondering
Where I've been lately is no concern of yours
Who's been touching my skin
Who have I been letting
Tried and tired I am now today

Sometimes I sit, sometimes I stare
Sometimes they look and I don't care
Where they I weep, some times I must
I'm wounded by dust

When the bell toll, when the bell gon' chime
You better call for your woman up high
And when the bell tolls for your last day,
You'll be getting down on your knees to pray
I'm a good woman and I never did say whatever it was that you did that day
I'm not a woman that is going to place that claim but you said that it was coming on judgement day

Now Sophia
I'm wounded by dust

When the bell toll, when the bell gon' chime
You better call for your woman up high
And when the bell tolls for your last day,
You'll be getting down on your knees to pray
I'm a good woman and I never did say whatever it was that you did that day
I'm not a woman that's going to place that claim but you said that it was coming on judgement day

Now Sophia
I'm wounded by dust
Now Sophia

560. Easy to love - Ella Fitzgerald



I know too well that I'm just wasting precious time
In thinking such a thing could be
That you could ever care for me
I'm sure you hate to hear
That I adore you, dear
But grant me
Just the same
I'm not entirely to blame
For...
You'd be so easy to love
So easy to idolize
All others above
So sweet to waken with
So nice to sit to sit down to eggs and bacon with
We'd be so grand at the game
So carefree together
That it does seem a shame
That you can't see
Your future with me
'Cause you'd be oh, so easy to love

559. I am a man of constant sorrow - Soggy Bottom Boys



(In constant sorrow through his days)

I am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my day.
I bid farewell to old Kentucky
The place where I was born and raised.
(The place where he was born and raised)

For six long years I've been in trouble
No pleasures here on earth I found
For in this world I'm bound to ramble
I have no friends to help me now.

[chorus] He has no friends to help him now

It's fare thee well my old lover
I never expect to see you again
For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad
Perhaps I'll die upon this train.

[chorus] Perhaps he'll die upon this train.

You can bury me in some deep valley
For many years where I may lay
Then you may learn to love another
While I am sleeping in my grave.

[chorus] While he is sleeping in his grave.

Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger
My face you'll never see no more.
But there is one promise that is given
I'll meet you on God's golden shore.

[chorus] He'll meet you on God's golden shore.

555. Little numbers - Boy



Waited for your call, for the moon
To release me from the longest afternoon
I've re-arranged parts of my living room
But time is hard to kill since I met you

Looking at the cars that drive on by
While spring is making promise outside
Red cars are quite rare I realize
Then I wonder which colour you like

Seven little numbers
Baby, they could be a start
Seven little numbers
Baby, I know yours by heart

Woo-oh, oh-oh, all the pretty things that we could do
Woo-oh, oh-oh, I feel you in every heart beat
Woo-oh, oh-oh, were you ever in a dream that could come true
These numbers could be lucky for you

Watch the sky change to a darkened blue
I can't think of another thing to do
And every song just makes me think of you
Because the singers sounds as if she was longing,
As if she was longing, too

Seven little numbers
Baby, they could be a start
Seven little numbers
Baby, I know yours by heart
They could make a change
Make a fire out of this flame

Woo-oh, oh-oh, all the pretty things that we could do
Woo-oh, oh-oh, I feel you in every heart beat
Woo-oh, oh-oh, were you ever in a dream that could come true
These numbers could be lucky for you

I read your name on every wall, on every wall - tell me
Is there a cure for me at all, for me at all - tell me
I read your name on every wall, on every wall - tell me
Is there a cure for me at all, for me at all

Woo-oh, oh-oh, all the pretty things that we could do
Woo-oh, oh-oh, I feel you in every heart beat
Woo-oh, oh-oh, were you ever in a dream that could come true
These numbers could be lucky for you

Woo-oh, oh-oh
Woo-oh, oh-oh
Woo-oh, oh-oh
These numbers could be lucky
These numbers could be lucky
These numbers could be lucky for you
