663. Miracle drug - A.C. Newman



He was tied to the bed with a miracle drug in one hand,
In the other, a great lost novel that, I understand, was returned with a stamp
That said "thank you for your interest, young man."

While preparing his soul for a perilous slide into crime,
He had decided that he would err on this side of divine,
Being told this was wise, that there'd be payback with interest in due time
So why all the history now?

He was tied to a job selling miracle drugs from his home,
At his door every morning, a trophy arrived with the dawn,
With the following inscribed:
"we've followed you with interest for some time."
So why all the history now?
He was tied to the bed with a miracle drug in one hand.

662. Somewhere only we know - Keane



I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river, and it made me complete

[Chorus]
Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old, and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired, and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

[Chorus]

And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?

[Chorus]

And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go?
So why don't we go?

This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know?

661. Festa - Despe & Siga



Comprei uma garrafa de casal garcia,
Para beber mais a maria
Preparamos uma festa
Hoje é noite de folia

Já temos fados e guitarradas
Temos vinho e sardinhadas
E a sandra com o seu acordeão
Dá os acordes no refrão

Venham daí rapaziada
Começa a festa não tarda nada
E esta noite é sempre a abrir
Porque pro ano
Ainda está pra vir

Já só do vinho,
Temos paródia
E a banda toca uma rapsódia
Berra o fadista, de cima do palanco
"eu só quero que me saia branco"

É copo cheio e siga a dança
E até os velhos esquecem a pança
E o bairro está todo em alvoroço..
Está tudo grosso, está tudo grosso

Venham daí rapaziada
Começa a festa não tarda nada
E esta noite é sempre a abrir
Porque pró ano
Ainda está pra vir

Anima a festa pela madrugada
Chega a policia para dançar a lambada
Grandes alhadas e grandes ramboias
Já há tourada e belas bóias.

Só fico eu, mais a maria
Com a garrafa de casal garcia
E a sandra com o seu acordeão
Dá os acordes no refrão

Venham daí rapaziada
Começa a festa não tarda nada
E esta noite é sempre a abrir
Porque pro ano
Ainda está pra vir

660. Low rising - The Swell Season



I wanna sit you down and talk
I wanna pull back the veils
And find out what it is I've done wrong
I wanna tear these curtains down
I want you to meet me somewhere
Tonight in this old tourist town
And we'll go

Low rising
'Cause we've gotta come up
We've gotta come up
Low rising
'Cause I fear we've had enough
Low rising
'Cause there's no further for us to fall
Low rising
Oh, for the love of you

I wanna take you to the rock
I wanna jump right in
And see what that big ocean's got
I wanna turn this thing around
I wanna drink with you
All night, till we both fall down
Till we go

Low rising
'Cause we've gotta come up
We've gotta come up
Low rising
'Cause there's no further for us to fall
Low rising
And I fear we've had enough
Low rising
Oh, for the love of you

Low rising
'Cause we've gotta come up
We've gotta come up
Low rising
And I fear we've had enough
Low rising
'Cause there's no further for us to fall
Low Rising
Oh, for the love of you

For the love of you

Low rising, low rising

I wanna sit you down and talk

I wanna sit you down and talk about it now

659. Heaven - The Walkmen



Our children will always hear
Romantic tales of distant years
Our guilty age may come and go
Our crooked dreams will always glow
Stick with me, oh, you’re my best friend
All of my life, you’ve always been

Remember, remember
All we fight for
Remember, remember
All we fight for

Don’t leave me, oh, you’re my best friend
All of my life, you’ve always been
Don’t leave me now, you’re my best friend
All of my life, you’ve always been

Remember, remember
All we fight for
Remember, remember
All we fight for
