682. Head full of doubt/road full of promise - The Avett Brothers



There's a darkness upon me that's flooded in light
In the fine print they tell me what's wrong and what's right
And it comes in black and it comes in white
And I'm frightened by those who don't see it

When nothing is owed, deserved or expected
And your life doesn't change by the man that's elected
If you're loved by someone, you're never rejected
Decide what to be and go be it

There was a dream and one day I could see it
Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it
And there was a kid with a head full of doubt
So I'll scream til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out

There's a darkness upon you that's flooded in light
And in the fine print they tell you what's wrong and what's right
And it flies by day and it flies by night
And I'm frightened by those who don't see it

There was a dream and one day I could see it
Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it
And there was a kid with a head full of doubt
So I'll scream til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out

There was a dream and one day I could see it
Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it
And there was a kid with a head full of doubt
So I'll scream til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out

There's a darkness upon me that's flooded in light
In the fine print they tell me what's wrong and what's right
There's a darkness upon me that's flooded in light
And I'm frightened by those who don't see it

681. The once and future carpenter - The Avett Brothers

The Avett Brothers "Once and Future Carpenter" from Austin City Limits on Vimeo.


I ain't from Texas, but I made my way from Dallas
and I know the lonesome sound is following
I ain't a gambler, but I can recognize a hand
and when to hold, when the queens are staring back at me
Once I was a carpenter, man my hands were calloused
I could swing a metal mallet sure and straight
But I took to the highway, a poet young and hungry
and I left the timbers where they lay

Forever I will move like the world that turns beneath me
and when I lose my direction I'll look up to the sky
and when the black cloak drags upon the ground
I'll be ready to surrender, and remember
well we're all in this together
If I live the life I'm given, I wont be scared to die

And I don't come from Detroit, but her diesel motors pull me
and I followed till I finally lost my way
And now I spend my days in search of a woman I called purpose
And if I ever pass back through her town I'll stay

Forever I will move like the world that turns beneath me
and when I lose my direction I'll look up to the sky
and when the black cloak drags upon the ground
I'll be ready to surrender, and remember
well we're all in this together
If I live the life I'm given, I won't be scared to die

And my life is but a coin, pulled from an empty pocket
Dropped into a slot with dreams of sevens close behind
And hope and fear go with it, and moon and the sun go spinning
Like the numbers and fruits before my eyes
Sometimes I hit, sometimes it robs me blind
Sometimes I hit, sometimes it robs me blind

Forever I will move like the world that turns beneath me
and when I lose my direction I'll look up to the sky
and when the black cloak drags upon the ground
I'll be ready to surrender, and remember
well we're all in this together
If I live the life I'm given, I won't be scared to die

680. Música - A Naifa



Como um raio a rasgar a vida, como uma flor
a florir desmedida, como uma cidade secreta
a levantar-se do chão, como água, como pão

Como um instante único na vida, como uma flor
a florir desmedida, como uma pétala dessa flor
a levantar-se do chão, como água, como pão,

Assim nasceste no meu olhar, assim te vi,
flor a florir desmedida, instante único
a levantar-se do chão, a rasgar a vida,

Assim nasceste no meu olhar, assim te amei,
vida, água, pão, raio a rasgar uma cidade secreta
a levantar-se do chão, flor a florir desmedida

679. Yet again - Grizzly Bear



Yet again, we’re the only ones
No surprise, this is often how it’s done
Lately, it’s about all I can take
I will put an end in all these brakes
oh-oh-oh oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Shell with another crack
I’m small, but I can keep track
Too soon, everyone just step away
I’m sure this isn’t the last ṗlay

Take it all and strike
Speak don’t confide
Barely had a chase
It’s done before we try
Stop it and deny
Does it end your phase?

Keep score even play, it feels this game
I know when I’ll set her the same
If I could, I will beat it all in
No chance, to move outwards and see

oh-oh-oh oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Take it all and strike
Speak don’t confide
Barely had a chase
It’s done before we try
Stop it and deny
Does it end your phase?

Take it all and strike
Speak don’t confide
Barely had a chase
It’s done before you try
Stop it and deny
Does it end your phase?

678. In the end - Charlotte Gainsbourg





Help me to see
What it's all coming to
Crumbs on the table
And mud on these shoes
Treading so long
I can't see where we've been
Tracks on the trail
And nails digging in

Who's to say it's all for the best in the end

Some hands will rob you
And some hands will beg
Some say they'll stay
Til the last dying day
But if actions can't speak
And words cannot do
What ten thousand armies
Can't even fight through

Who's to say it's all for the best in the end
Who's to say it's all for the best in the end

676. Say you will - Kanye West



Why would she make calls out of the blue?
Now I'm awake, sleep isn't new

Hey hey hey hey
Don't say you will
Unless you will
Hey hey hey hey
Don't say you will
Then play you will
I pray you will

Misses so fly crash lands in my room
Can't waste no time, she might leave soon

Hey hey hey hey
Don't say you will
Do, do
Hey hey hey hey
Don't say you will
One day you will
I pray you will

When I grab your neck I touch your soul
Take off your cool then lose control

Hey hey hey hey
Don't say you will
You will, you will
Hey hey hey hey
Don't say you will
If you will
I pray you will

I wish this song would really come true
I admit I still fantasize about you, about you

Hey hey hey hey
Don't say you will
You will, you will
Hey hey hey hey
Please say you will
For real
I pray you will

675. Dancefloors - My Morning Jacket



daybreak. nightfall. long as I believe
there ain't nothing glowin like this skin you're showin
and the keys you gave to me
nightjails. poolhalls. some things are everywhere
so for the past I'm diggin a grave so big, it will swallow up the sea
oh I know... that it's easy... there's no trouble waitin for me
dancefloors. headlights. in my blood there's gasoline
for an urban boy on a dirty tour I never felt so clean
loaded questions in an automatic world
you just won't be seein the things you need,
as if you thought you would
oh I know... it's never easy... when there's trouble waitin for me

674. Easy morning rebel - My Morning Jacket



well the easy mornin rebel, well he has come.
come down from heaven, all bathed in sun
he'll take to flyin, he'll take to the road...
as long as he's movin to get dey blood!
he'll be the water if you'll be the wine.
sent down from heaven in this earthly disguise
well the evening rebel, his heart is stone.
this earthly body... just a temporary home
a dream of movin moves on thru the night
and he sure looks good when he moves in the light
he'll be the water if you'll be the wine.
sent down from heaven in this earthly disguise
black hearted ruler? I only knew...
that loving moment I had with you

673. Amazing - Kanye West



It's amazing, I'm the reason
Everybody fired up this evening
I'm exhausted, barely breathing
Holding on to what I believe in

[Chorus]
No matter what, you'll never take that from me
My reign is as far as your eyes can see
It's amazing, so amazing, so amazing, so amazing [x2]
It's amazing

I'm a monster, I'm a killer
I know I'm wrong
I'm a problem
That'll never ever be solved

[Chorus]
And no matter what, you'll never take that from me
My reign is as far as your eyes can see
It's amazing, so amazing, so amazing, so amazing [x2]
It's amazing

I'm a monster, I'm a maven
I know this world is changing
Never gave in, never gave up
I'm the only thing I'm afraid of

[Chorus]
No matter what, you'll never take that from me
My reign is as far as your eyes can see
It's amazing, so amazing, so amazing, so amazing [x4]
It's amazing

[Young Jeezy]
I'm amazing (amazing), yeah I'm all that (all that)
If I ain't on my grind than what you call that (what you call that)
Victorious, yeah we warriors
We make history, strive for victory (yeah)
Standing at my podium, I'm trying to watch my sodium
Die high blood pressure either let the feds catch ya (yeah)
I'm amazing born on a full moon
I was breed to get it in, no spoon
That's why I'm so goon summer time no joke
Big family small house, no room
They like "Oh God, why he go so hard
Look what he's been through, he deserves an applause"

672. Redemption song - Bob Marley



Old pirates, yes, they rob I;
Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit.
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the Almighty.
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly.
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs,
Redemption songs.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them can stop the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look? Ooh!
Some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fulfill the Book.

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs,
Redemption songs,
Redemption songs.
---
/Guitar break/
---
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our mind.
Wo! Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fulfill the book.
Won't you have to sing
These songs of freedom? -
'Cause all I ever had:
Redemption songs -
All I ever had:
Redemption songs:
These songs of freedom,
Songs of freedom.

671. Laid - Matt Nathanson



This bed is on fire
With passionate love
The neighbors complain about the noises above
But she only comes when she's on top

My therapist said not to see you no more
She said you're like a disease without any cure
She said I'm so obsessed that I'm becoming a bore, oh no
Ah, you think you're so pretty

Caught your hand inside a till
Slammed your fingers in the door
Fought with kitchen knives and skewers
Dressed me up in women's clothes
Messed around with gender roles
Dye my eyes and call me pretty

Moved out of the house, so you moved next door
I locked you out, you cut a hole in the wall
I found you sleeping next to me, I thought I was alone
You're driving me crazy, when are you coming home
Pretty
Pretty

670. To be with you - Mr. Big



Hold on little girl
Show me what he's done to you
Stand up little girl
A broken heart can't be that bad
When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby come on over
Let me be the one to show you

(Chorus)
I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside i hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you

Build up your confidence
So you can be on top for once
Wake up who cares about
Little boys that talk too much
I seen it all go down
Your game of love was all rained out
So come on baby, come on over
Let me be the one to hold you

(Chorus)

Why be alone when we can be together baby
You can make my life worthwile
And i can make you start to smile
When it's through it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby, come on over let me
Be the one to hold you

(Chorus x3)

Just to be the next to be with you

669. 96 degrees in the shade - Third World



96 degrees in the shade
Real hot in the shade

Said it was 96 degrees in the shade
Ten thousand soldiers on parade
Taking i and i to meet a big fat boy
Sent from overseas
The queen employ
Excellency before you i come
With my representation
You know where i'm coming from

You caught me on the loose
Fighting to be free
Now you show me a noose
On the cotton tree
Entertainment for you
Martyrdom for me

96 degrees in the shade
Real hot in the shade

Some may suffer and some may burn
But i know that one day my people will learn
As sure as the sun shines, way up in the sky
Today i stand here a victim the truth is i'll never die

96 degrees in the shade
Real hot in the shade

668. Wherever you go - Richard Marx



Oceans apart day after day and I slowly go insane.
I hear your voice on the line, but it doesn't stop the pain.
If I see you next to never, how can we say forever.

Chorus:
Wherever you go, whatever you do,
I will be right here waiting for you.
Whatever it takes or how my heart breaks,
I will be right here waiting for you.

I took for granted all the times that I thought would last
somehow.
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears, but I can't get near you
now.
Oh can't you see it, Baby, you've got me going crazy.

Chorus:
Wherever you go, whatever you do,
I will be right here waiting for you.
Whatever it takes or how my heart breaks,
I will be right here waiting for you.

I wonder how we can survive this romance.
But in the end if I'm with you, I'll take the chance.

Oh can't you see it, Baby, you've got me going crazy.
Wherever you go, whatever you do,
I will be right here waiting for you.
Whatever it takes or how my heart breaks,
I will be right here waiting for you.
Waiting for you.

667. Long train running - The Doobie Brothers



Down around the corner
A half a mile from here
You can see them long trains run
And you watch them disappear
Without love
Where would you be now
Without love

You know I saw Miss Lucy
Down along the tracks
She lost her home and her family
And she won't be comin' back
Without love
Where would you be right now
Without love

Well the Illinois Central
And the Southern Central Freight
Gotta keep on pushin' mama
'Cause you know they're runnin' late
Without love
Where would you be now, na-na-now
Without love

Well the Illinois Central
And the Southern Central Freight
Gotta keep on pushin' mama
'Cause you know they're runnin' late
Without love
Where would you be now
Without love

Well the pistons keep on churnin'
And the wheels go 'round and 'round
And the steel rails are cold and hard
For the miles that they go down
Without love
Where would you be right now
Without love
Where would you be now

666. Middlesex times - Michael Andrews

665. Man or muppet - Bret Mckenzie



http://youtu.be/8sIBz-rEEW8

I reflect on my reflection
And i ask myself the question
What's the right direction
To go
I don't know

Am i a man
Or am i a muppet
(am i a muppet)
If i'm a muppet
Then i'm a very manly muppet
(very manly muppet)
Am i a muppet?
(muppet)
Or am i a man?
(am i a man)
If i'm a man that makes me a muppet of a man
(a muppet of a man)

I look into these eyes
And i don't recognize
The one i see inside
It's time for me to decide

Am i a man
Or am i a muppet?
(am i a muppet)
If i'm a muppet

Well i'm a very manly muppet
(very manly muppet)
Am i a muppet
(muppet)
Or am i a man?
(am i a man)
If i'm a man that makes me a muppet of a man
(a muppet of a man)

Here i go again
My goal is runnin' out of time
I think i made up my mind
Now i understand who i am

I'm a man

I'm a muppet
Yeah!

I'm a muppet of a man
I'm a very manly muppet
I'm a muppet-y man!
That's what i am

664. Beginners - Roger Neill, Dave Palmer & Brian Reitzell
