628. Anyone's ghost - The National



Say you stay at home
alone with the flu
find out from friends
that wasn't true
go out at night with your headphones on, again
and walk through the Manhattan valleys of, the dead

didn't want to be your ghost
didn't want to be anyone's ghost
didn't want to be your ghost
didn't want to be anyone's ghost
but I don't want anybody else
I don't want anybody else

you said I came close
as anyone's come
to live underwater
for more than a month
you said it was not inside my heart, it was
you said it should tear a kid apart, it does

didn't want to be your ghost
didn't want to be anyone's ghost
didn't want to be your ghost
didn't want to be anyone's ghost
but I don't want anybody else
I don't want anybody else
I don't want anybody else
I don't want anybody else

I had a hole in the middle where the lightning went through it
told my friends not to worry
I had a hole in the middle someone's sideshow wouldn't do it
I told my friends not to worry

didn't want to be your ghost
didn't want to be anyone's ghost
didn't want to be your ghost
didn't want to be anyone's ghost

627. The world is not enough - Garbage



I know how to hurt
I know how to heal
I know what to show
And what to conceal
I know when to talk
And I know when to touch
No one ever died from wanting too much

The world is not enough
But it is such a perfect place to start, my love
And if you're strong enough
Together we can take the world apart, my love

People like us
Know how to survive
There's no point in living
If you can't feel the life
We know when to kiss
And we know when to kill
If we can't have it all
Then nobody will

The world is not enough
But it is such a perfect place to start, my love
And if you're strong enough
Together we can take the world apart, my love

I feel safe
I feel scared
I feel ready
And yet unprepared
The world is not enough
But it is such a perfect place to start, my love
And if you're strong enough
Together we can take the world apart, my love

The world is not enough
The world is not enough
No Nowhere near enough,
The world is not enough

626. Gone tomorrow - Lambchop



This was their last night on the continent
The production was shutting down
Drinks and good eyes were at all ground
The wine tasted like sunshine in the basement.

Chorus:
The ... starts itself
Looks like water comes from somewhere else
And I can use a thing or two today

Sometimes I find things on the street
Exchange the shocking wounds for something we can need
You can find me behind the stadium
Along the corners of a burning river

Chorus:
The ... starts itself
Looks like water comes from somewhere else
And I can use a thing or two today

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
And they're all outside ...
And I can get along with something ...

625. Medicine - Tindersticks



This medicine you want
Medicine you need
Medicine to get you on your feet
I feel weak

Cause every single day
And every single hour too
That medicine it works inside of you
In your head
In your dreams
In your dreams

You worked it so hard
You tried to make it shine
Medicine it keeps you down half mind
In your head

Cause every single day
And every single hour too
That medicine it works inside of you
In your head
In your dreams
In your dreams

624. Baba O'Riley - The Who





Out here in the fields
I fight for my meals
I get my back into my living.

I don't need to fight
To prove I'm right
I don't need to be forgiven.
yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah

Don't cry
Don't raise your eye
It's only teenage wasteland

Sally, take my hand
We'll travel south cross land
Put out the fire
And don't look past my shoulder.

The exodus is here
The happy ones are near
Let's get together
Before we get much older.

Teenage wasteland
It's only teenage wasteland.
Teenage wasteland
Oh, yeah
Its only teenage wasteland
They're all wasted!

623. Short skirt, long jacket - Cake



I want a girl with a mind like a diamond
I want a girl who knows what's best
I want a girl with shoes that cut
And eyes that burn like cigarettes
I want a girl with the right allocations
who is fast and thorough and sharp as a tack,
She is playing with her jewelry, she is putting up her hair
She is touring the facility
and picking up slack
I want a girl with a short skirt and a
looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong jacket

I want a girl who gets up early
I want a girl who stays up late
I want a girl with uninterrupted prosperity
Who uses a machete to cut through red tape
With fingernails that shine like justice
And a voice that is dark like tinted glass
She is fast, thorough and sharp as a tack,
She is touring the facility and picking up slack
I want a girl with a short skirt and a looooooong,
loooooooooooooooooooooooooong jacket

Nananananananananananananananananana

I want a girl with smooth liquidation
I want a girl with good dividends
At Citi Bank we will meet accidently
We will start to talk when she borrows my pen
She wants a car with a cup holder armrest
She wants a car that will get her there
She is changing her name from Kitty to Karen
She is trading her MG for a white, Chrysler LeBaron
I want a girl with a short skirt and a
looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong jacket

622. You're a big girl now - Bob Dylan





Our conversation was short and sweet
It nearly swept me off my feet
And I'm back in the rain
Oh, and you are on dry land
You made it there somehow
You're a big girl now

Bird on the horizon, sitting on a fence
He's singing his song for me at his own expense
And I'm just like that bird
Oh, singing just for you
I hope that you can hear
Hear me singing through these tears

Love is so simple, to quote a phrase
You've known it all the time, I'm learning it these days
And I know where I can find you
Oh, in somebody's room
It's a price I have to pay
You're a big girl all the way

Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast
Oh but what a shame, that all we've shared can't last
I can change I swear
Oh, see what you can do
I can make it through
You can make it too

A change in the weather is known to be extreme
But it ain't like changing horses in midstream
I'm going out of my mind
Oh, with a pain that stops and starts
Like a corkscrew to the heart
Ever since we've been apart

621. E-Bow - R.E.M.



Look up, what do you see?
all of you and all of me
flourescent and starry
some of them, they surprise

the bus ride, I went to write this, 4:00 a.m.
this letter
fields of poppies, little pearls
all the boys and all the girls sweet-toothed
each and every one a little scary
I said your name

I wore it like a badge of teenage film stars
hash bars, cherry mash and tinfoil tiaras
dreaming of Maria Callas
whoever she is
this fame thing, I don't get it
I wrap my hand in plastic to try to look through it
Maybelline eyes and girl-as-boy moves
I can take you far
this star thing, I don't get it

I'll take you over, there
I'll take you over, there
aluminium, tastes like fear
adrenaline, it pulls us near
I'll take you over
it tastes like fear, there
I'll take you over

will you live to 83?
will you ever welcome me?
will you show me something that nobody else has seen?
smoke it, drink
here comes the flood
anything to thin the blood
these corrosives do their magic slowly and sweet
phone, eat it, drink
just another chink
cuts and dents, they catch the light
aluminium, the weakest link

I don't want to disappoint you
I'm not here to anoint you
I would lick your feet
but is that the sickest move?
I wear my own crown and sadness and sorrow
and who'd have thought tomorrow could be so strange?
my loss, and here we go again

I'll take you over, there
I'll take you over, there
aluminium, tastes like fear
adrenaline, it pulls us near
I'll take you over
it tastes like fear, there
I'll take you over

look up, what do you see?
all of you and all of me
flourescent and starry
some of them, they surprise

I can't look it in the eyes
seconal, spanish fly, absinthe, kerosene
cherry-flavored neck and collar
I can smell the sorrow on your breath
the sweat, the victory and sorrow
the smell of fear, I got it

I'll take you over, there
I'll take you over, there
aluminium, tastes like fear
adrenaline, it pulls us near
I'll take you over
it tastes like fear, there
I'll take you over

pulls us near
tastes like fear...

nearer, nearer
over, over, over, over
yeah, look over
I'll take you there, oh, yeah
I'll take you there
oh, over
I'll take you there
over, let me
I'll take you there...
there, there, baby, yeah

620. Square one - Coldplay





You're in control, is there anywhere you wanna go?
You're in control, is there anything you wanna know?
The future's for discovering
The space in which we're travelling
From the top of the first page
To the end of the last day
From the start in your own way
You just want somebody listening to what you say
It doesn't matter who you are
It doesn't matter who you are

Under the surface trying to break through
Deciphering the codes in you
I need a compass, draw me a map
I'm on the top, I can't get back

Whoa whoa

The first line on the first page
To the end of the last page
From the start in your own way
You just want somebody listening to what you say
It doesn't matter who you are
It doesn't matter who you are

You just want
Somebody listening to what you say
Oh, you just want somebody listening to what you say
It doesn't matter who you are
It doesn't matter who you are

Is there anybody out there who
Is lost and hurt and lonely too
Are they bleeding all your colours into one?
and if you come undone
As if you've been run through
Some catapult it fired you
You wonder if your chance will ever come
Or if you're stuck in square one

619. É sexta-feira - Boss AC



Tantos anos a estudar para acabar desempregado
Ou num emprego da treta, mal pago
E receber uma gorjeta que chamam salário
Eu não tirei o Curso Superior de Otário
...não é por falta de empenho
Querem que aperte o cinto mas nem calças tenho
Ainda o mês vai a meio já eu 'tou aflito
Oh mãe fazias-me era rico em vez de bonito

É sexta-feira
Suei a semana inteira
No bolso não trago um tostão
Alguém me arranje emprego
bom bom bom bom
Já já já

Eles enterram o País o povo aguenta
Mas qualquer dia a bolha rebenta
De boca em boca nas redes sociais
Ouvem-se verdades que não vêm nos jornais
Ter carro é impossível
Tive que o vender para ter combustível
Tenho o passe da Carris mas hoje estão em greve
Preciso de boleia, alguém que me leve

É sexta-feira
Suei a semana inteira
No bolso não trago um tostão
Alguém me arranje emprego
bom bom bom bom
Já já já
É sexta-feira
Quero ir para a brincadeira
mas eu não tenho um tostão
Alguém me arranje emprego
bom bom bom bom
Já já já

Basta ser honesto e eu aceito propostas
Os cotas já me querem ver pelas costas
Onde vou arranjar dinheiro para uma renda?
Não tenho condições nem pa alugar uma tenda
Os bancos só emprestam a quem não precisa
A mim nem me emprestam pa mudar de camisa
Vou jogar Euromilhões a ver se acaba o enguiço
Hoje é sexta-feira vou já tratar disso

618. Albacore - Ani DiFranco



Look here I just tattooed a wedding band
On what looks like to me my mother's hand
I'm no blushing girl, no innocent dove
It took me a long time to find love
But now I have no doubt and I never will
That I am meant to be loving you
And it fairly blew my mind to be so sure
When that little needle said "I do"

My love gives me hope
My love gives me pride
My love gets me past the landmines inside
When I am next to you, I am more me
Inside me is a room to which you hold the key

Look at that honey moon in the albacore sky
Look with all of you, not just your eye
Look at its dancing light through the whispering trees
Look at how I love you and you love me
Look at how I love you and you love me

617. Submarine Symphonika - The Submarines



If you live in the city
And you want it to burn
Because you think nobody could learn
The delicate demons and
Loneliest ways of a heart
Thats been broken

Say what you will,
Love finds you even when,
You've given it up

One after another
You've seen love affairs turn
From the glorious start
To the crash and burn
But Now that you've promised never again
It's exactly when you'll fall in

You've sworn off clubs and bars
Fridays with the girls
You say homes where you'll be
But soon your own sweet love
Who needs you'll be lying in your arms

Say what you will
Love finds you even when,
You've given it up

Everybody deserves to be adored
Why would you settle for less
When the world gives you more?

The Hurt has you now
But soon it'll make you strong
And your loveliness goes on and on

Say what you will
Love a heart thats been broken
Love finds you even when,
You've given up

Say what you will
Say it again and again
Until the whole world knows about it
Love finds you even when,
You've given up

616. Could we - Cat Power



could we
take a walk
could we
have a talk alone
in the afternoon

could we heave a seat
why yes be my guest
you can hold my hand

what a dream
in the grass
we kissed
fell in love too fast too soon
love full bloom

should we get up
let's wake up
let's get dressed
i'll let you walk me up the street
back home

thank you
it was great
lets make another TAKE
real SLOW
in the afternoon

615. Somebody that I used to know - Gotye





Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So, when we found that we could not make sense
Well, you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No, you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need, that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
But I don't wanna live that way, reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No, you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need, that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Somebody, I used to know
Somebody, now you're just somebody that I used to know
Somebody, I used to know
Somebody, now you're just somebody that I used to know

I used to know
That I used to know
I used to know
Somebody

614. Swallowed in the sea - Coldplay



You cut me down a tree
And brought it back to me
And that's what made me see
Where I was going wrong
You put me on a shelf
And kept me for yourself
I can only blame myself
You can only blame me

And I could write a song
A hundred miles long
Well, that's where I belong
And you belong with me

And I could write it down
Or spread it all around
Get lost and then get found
Or swallowed in the sea

You put me on a line
And hung me out to dry
And darling that's when I
Decided to go to see you

You cut me down to size
And opened up my eyes
Made me realize
What I could not see

And I could write a book
The one they'll say that shook
The world, and then it took
It took it back from me

And I could write it down
Or spread it all around
Get lost and then get found
And you'll come back to me
Not swallowed in the sea

Ooh...

And I could write a song
A hundred miles long
Well, that's where I belong
And you belong with me

The streets you're walking on
A thousand houses long
Well, that's where I belong
And you belong with me

Oh what good is it to live
With nothing left to give
Forget but not forgive
Not loving all you see

Oh the streets you're walking on
A thousand houses long
Well that's where I belong
And you belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea

You belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea
Yeah, you belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea

613. Primavera - The Gift



Sábado à noite não sou tão só
Somente só
A sós contigo assim
E sei dos teus erros
Os meus e os teus
Os teus e os meus amores que não conheci

Parasse a vida
Um passo atrás
Quis-me capaz
Dos erros renascer em ti

E se inventado, o teu sorriso for
Fui inventor
Criei o paraíso assim

Algo me diz que há mais amor aqui
Lá fora só menti
Eu já fui de cool por aí
Somente só, só minto só
Hei-de te amar, ou então hei-de chorar por ti
Mesmo assim, quero ver te sorrir...
E se perder vou tentar esquecer-me de vez, conto até três
Se quiser ser feliz...

Se há tulipas
No teu jardim
Serei o chão e a água que da chuva cai
Para te fazer crescer em flor, tão viva a cor
Meu amor eu sou tudo aqui...

Sábado à noite não sou tão só
Somente só
A sós contigo assim
Não sou tão só, somente só

612. Animal instinct - The Cranberries



Suddenly something has happened to me
As I was having my cup of tea
Suddenly I was feeling depressed
I was utterly and totally stressed
Do you know you made me cry
Do you know you made me die

And the thing that gets to me
Is you'll never really see
And the thing that freaks me out
Is I'll always be in doubt
It is a lovely thing that we have
It is a lovely thing that we
It is a lovely thing, the animal
The animal instinct

So take my hands and come with me
We will change reality
So take take my hands and we will pray
They won't take you away
They will never make me cry, no
They will never make me die

And the thing that gets to me
Is you'll never really see
And the thing that freaks me out
Is I'll always be in doubt

The animal, the animal, the animal instinct in me
It's the animal, the animal, the animal instinct in me
It's the animal, it's the animal,
It's the animal instinct in me (2x)

611. Sleep to dream - Fiona Apple



I tell you how I feel, but you don't care
I say tell me the truth, but you don't dare
You say love is a hell you cannot bare
And I say gime mine back and then go there for all I care

I got my feet on the ground and I dont go to sleep to dream
You got your head in the clouds, you're not at all what you seem
This mind, this body, and this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways
So don't forget what I told you
Don't come around I got my own hell to raise

I have never been so insulted in all my life
I could swallow the seas to wash down all this pride
First you run like a fool just to be at my side
And now you run like a fool
But you just run to hide, and I can't abide

I got my feet on the ground and I don't go to sleep to dream
You got your head in the clouds, you're not at all what you seem
This mind, this body, and this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways
So don't forget what I told you
Don't come around, I've got my own hell to raise

Don't make it a big deal
Don't be so sensitive
We're not playing a game anymore
You don't have to be so defensive

Uh uhhhh uuoohhhhhhhh...

Don't you plead me your case
Don't bother to explain
Don't even show me your face
Cuz it's a crying shame
Just go back to the rock from under which you came
Take the sorrow you gave and all the stakes you claimed
And don't forget the blame

I got my feet on the ground and I don't go to sleep to dream
You got your head in the clouds and you're not at all what ya seem
This mind, this body, and this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways
So don't forget what I told ya
Don't come around, I got my own hell to raise(x2)

610. Walking on a dream - Empire of the Sun



Walking on a dream
How can I explain
Talking to myself
Will I see again

We are always running for the thrill of it thrill of it
Always pushing up the hill searching for the thrill of it
On and on and on we are calling out and out again
Never looking down I'm just in awe of what's in front of me

Is it real now
Two people become one
I can feel it
Two people become one

Thought I'd never see
The love you found in me
Now it's changing all the time
Living in a rhythm where the minutes working overtime

We are always running for the thrill of it thrill of it
Always pushing up the hill searching for the thrill of it
On and on and on we are calling out and out again
Never looking down I'm just in awe of what's in front of me

Is it real now
Two people become one
I can feel it
Two people become one

Catch me I'm falling down
Catch me I'm falling down

Don't stop just keep going on
I'm your shoulder lean upon
So come on deliver from inside
All we got is tonight that is right till first light

Is it real now
Two people become one
I can feel it
Two people become one

609. Read my mind - The Killers





On the corner of main street
Just tryin' to keep it in line
You say you wanna move on and
You say I'm falling behind

Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

I never really gave up on
Breakin' out of this two-star town
I got the green light
I got a little fight
I'm gonna turn this thing around

Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

The good old days, the honest man;
The restless heart, the Promised Land
A subtle kiss that no one sees;
A broken wrist and a paid trapeze

Oh well I don't mind, if you don't mind
'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Before you go, can you read my mind?

Its funny how you just break down
Waitin' on some sign
I pull up to the front of your driveway
With magic soakin' my spine

Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

The teenage queen, the loaded gun;
The drop dead dream, the Chosen One
A southern drawl, a world unseen;
A city wall and a trampoline

Oh well I don't mind, if you don't mind
'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Before you jump
Tell me what you find when you read my mind

Slippin in my faith until I fall
You never returned that call
Woman, open the door, don't let it sting
I wanna breathe that fire again

She said I don't mind, if you don't mind
'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine

Put your back on me
Put your back on me
Put your back on me

The stars are blazing like rebel diamonds cut out of the sun
When you read my mind

608. Barricade - Interpol



I did not take to analysis so
I had to make up my mind
And hold it for a while
I would not just leave you without a kiss
But I guess there must come a time
And there is no more tears to cry

Thieves and snakes need homes ..
need homes
Barricade

It starts to feel like a barricade
that keep us away
to keep us away, it kind of does
It starts to feel like a barricade
to keep us away
Keep us away

I could not lean on the politics
cause I did't want to train my eye
To hold so short a time anekatips
Oh so high, just don't know where
The blind could lead the sightless
but I still like to witness
thieves and snakes need homes ..
need homes
Barricade

It starts to feel like a barricade
that keep us away
to keep us away, it kind of does
It starts to feel like a barricade
to keep us away
Keep us away

full speed half blind full tilt decline
We turn to past times
Full speed half blind

(You know us,
you know us
Say i'm sorry)

Sometimes it feel like a barricade
that keep us away
to keep us away, it kind of does
It starts to feel like a barricade
to keep us away
Keep us away you know us

Full speed half blind full tilt decline
we turn to past times full speed half blind
full speed half blind full tilt decline
onto all time full speed half blind

607. Civilian - Wye Oak





I am nothing without pretend
I know my faults
Can't live with them
I am nothing without a man
I know my thoughts
But I can't hide them

I still keep my baby teeth
In the bedside table with my jewelry
You still sleep in the bed with me,
My jewelry, and my baby teeth

I don't need another friend
When most of them
I can barely keep up with them
Perfectly able to hold my own hand,
But I still can't kiss my own neck

I wanted yo give you everything
But I still stand in awe of superficial things
I wanted to love you like my mother's mother's mother did
Civilian, civilian.
