702. The old gold shoe - Lambchop



The gold stereo
Stretches out the sound
Turns the plates until they're rounded
The whole that you know
Gets closer to the ground
Closer to the things you found

And for all our massive brains
To call on choked remains
It's painful
And it's certain
That something's bound to break
(Inside)

This house is not alone
I'm kicking 'round here somewhere
So check behind the ancient speaker
Like pain, painful southern bliss
Is poured upon like caramel
And garnished with some crushed pecans

And to grow is not to grind
To mope is not to mind
The old cap
The geezer
The 15 second teaser

Behold and you know
Everyone's a ringer
He's not even a very good singer
The dirt on the tracks
Has hardened into clusters
Earthen legs and honey mustard

The storm closes in
The leaves start to spin
It's getting
Much later
I wish I heard your radio
(Tonight)

The people in the rain
Are staring through our backs
Wishing you had half a brain
For all, all our little pain
Tender is the mangle
The science diet the ivory tangle

The dark goes away
Each and every stinking day
I'm getting
Much better
This evening's little upsetter

The kids out in the street
Take their toys and break them
Look at them, then walk away
The guy on the cross
Is holier than I
But then again he's made from plastic

And for all our massive brains
To call on choked remains
It's painful
And it's certain
That something's bound to break
(Inside)

701. Tick of time - The Kooks



Oh honey please, don't shed no tears
As long as I'm here

Its far too early in the morning to be trying to call you
And far too early in the daytime to be thinking about that

But I, (but I), but I, (but I), but I am

What did I do in a past life, oh to deserve this
Yeah the way I make myself
He's far too innocent to be a part of such a cruel world
And it is, and it is and it is

And so I'll go, yes I'll go, so I'll take that train and ride.
Hoping I can write her a rhyme, that might stop the tick of time
Get off this situation and feel fine,
Get off this situation and feel fine.

What did I do to deserve her love,
I have to ask myself.
When I am such a bad man but only to her (only to her, only, only to her)

Oh and so I'll go, yes I'll go, so I'll take that train and ride.
Oh and so I'll go, yes I'll go, so I'll take that train and ride.
Wishing, hoping I can write her a rhyme, that might stop the tick of time
Get off this situation and feel fine,
Get off this situation and feel fine.

700. Surprise ice - Kings of Convenience



When past sometimes takes you with soft hands
forcelessly pulls you to your chair
hides you away from these half days
sunless at the end of the year
the air is like a knife cutting through you
a room in the house is always warm
stretched out on the bathroom floor thinking
of fair days your future may hold

love comes like surprise ice on the water
love comes like surprise ice at dawn
love comes like surprise ice on the water
love comes at dawn

deprived of the light and of the colours
the world ends at your window tree
darkness creates these illusions
but pale days can teach you to see
rain falls but no life is given
weeks pass no progress is made

past sometimes takes you with soft hands
and all that surrounds you will fade

699. The weight of my words - Kings of Convenience



There are very many things
I would like to say to you,
but I've lost my way
and I've lost my words.
There are very many places
I would like to go,
but I can't find the key
to open my door.
The weight of my words
you can't feel it anymore.
The weight of my words
you can't feel it anymore.
There are very many ways
I would like to break the spell
you've cast upon me.
'Cause all the time
I sacrificed myself
to make you want me,
has made you haunt me.
The weight of my words
you can't feel it anymore.
The weight of my words
you can't feel it anymore.
The weight of my words
you can't feel it anymore.
There are very many things
I would like to say to you,
but I've lost my way
and I've lost my words.
There are very many places
I would like to go,
but I can't find the key
to open my door.

698. Live and die - The Avett Brothers



All it will take is just one moment and
you can say goodbye to how we had it planned
Fear like a habit run like a rabbit out and away
through the screen door to the unknown

and I want to love you and more
I want to find you and more
Where do you reside,
when you hide how can I find ya
Cause I wanna send you and more.
I wanna tempt you and more.
Can you tell that I am alive?
Let me prove it.

You and I we're the same
live and die we're the same
hear my voice know my name
you and I we're the same

Live like a pharaoh
sing like a sparrow anyway
even if there is no land or love in sight
we bloom like roses lead like moses out and away
through the bitter crowd to the daylight

and I want to love you and more
I want to find you and more
can you tell that I
am alive let me prove it to ya.

You and I we're the same
live and die we're the same
you rejoice I complain
but you and I we're the same
live and die we're the same
you and I we're the same
hear my voice know my name
you and I we're the same

I want to love you and more
I want to find you and more
where do you reside
when you hide how can I find ya
cause I wanna save you and more
I wanna tempt you and more
can you tell that I am alive let me prove it

You and I we're the same
live and die we're the same
you rejoice I complain
but you and I we're the same
live and die we're the same
you and I we're the same
hear my voice know my name
you and I
you and I

697. The ballad of love and hate - The Avett Brothers



Love writes a letter and sends it to hate.
My vacations ending. I'm coming home late.
The weather was fine and the ocean was great
and I can't wait to see you again.

Hate reads the letter and throws it away.
"No one here cares if you go or you stay.
I barely even noticed that you were away.
I'll see you or I won't, whatever."

Love sings a song as she sails through the sky.
The water looks bluer through her pretty eyes.
And everyone knows it whenever she flies,
and also when she comes down.

Hate keeps his head up and walks through the street.
Every stranger and drifter he greets.
And shakes hands with every loner he meets
With a serious look on his face.

Love arrives safely with suitcase in tow.
Carrying with her the good things we know.
A reason to live and a reason to grow.
To trust. To hope. To care.

Hate sits alone on the hood of his car.
Without much regard to the moon or the stars.
Lazily killing the last of a jar
Of the strongest stuff you can drink.

Love takes a taxi, a young man drives.
As soon as he sees her, hope fills his eyes.
But tears follow after, at the end of the ride,
Cause he might never see her again.

Hate gets home lucky to still be alive.
He screams o'er the sidewalk and into the drive.
The clock in the kitchen says 2:55,
And the clock in the kitchen is slow.

Love has been waiting, patient and kind.
Just wanting a phone call or some kind of sign,
That the one that she cares for, who's out of his mind,
Will make it back safe to her arms.

Hate stumbles forward and leans in the door.
Weary head hung, down eyes to the floor.
He says "Love, I'm sorry", and she says, "What for?
I'm yours and that's it, Whatever."
"I should not have been gone for so long.
I'm yours and that's it, forever."

"You're mine and that's it, forever."

696. Stars and sons - Broken social scene



Then when you let it
You asked for nothing
Why don't you share it
All of the time you live
There's something out there

This way we'll know, how far to live on
there's one more avenue in this town
And in the red room
At a distance

How would you know it
You're the same when you're living
I don't know it
It won't be this

This way we'll know, how far to live on
This way we'll know, how far to live on

All of the time you wait, there's someone out there
And no one can find all the red

How would you show it
You can see through the red
I don't know it
It won't be this time

695. 25th hour finale - Terence Blanchard

694. We are not enemies - Anne Dudley

693. Medieval waters - Carter Burwell

692. Don't panic - Coldplay



Bones, sinking like stones,
All that we fought for,
Homes, places we've grown,
All of us are done for.
And we live in a beautiful world,
Yeah we do, yeah we do,
We live in a beautiful world,

Bones, sinking like stones,
All that we fought for,
And homes, places we've grown,
All of us are done for.
And we live in a beautiful world,
Yeah we do, yeah we do,
We live in a beautiful world.

Here we go,
Here we go.

And we live in a beautiful world,
Yeah we do, yeah we do,
We live in a beautiful world.

Oh, all that I know,
There's nothing here to run from,
Cos yeah, everybody here's got somebody to lean on

690. Up in the air - Kevin Renick





I’m up in the air,
Choices drifting by me everywhere.
And I can’t find the one
That would help me do the work I’ve left undone,
‘Cause I’m up in the air.

I’m making some plans,
Finding out there’s always new demands.
And I can’t be precise;
When people ask me what I’m doing with my life,
I say, “It’s up in the air.”

I’m hearing from friends.
It’s that tired, old advice again:
“You just cannot keep floating all around.
Oh, you got to get your feet back on the ground.”
But it’s hard to come down
When you’re up in the air.

Daaaa, da-da, da, da-da.
Daaaa, da-da, da, da-da.
Daaaa, daaa; daaa, da-da-da
Mmm-mm…

I’m traveling in my car,
Always lost, though I don’t go that far.
I find that I can live most anywhere.
Everyone I meet has so much they can share.
But I don’t settle down,
‘Cause I’m up in the air.

I’m thinking of my past,
The comfort in my home that couldn’t last.
Now my family tells me work for your success,
And they want to see me find some happiness.
But I’m not sure where that is,
‘Cause I’m up in the air.

I’m talking with my peers,
Listening to them tell their inner fears.
Some have lives that haven’t gone the way they planned,
And some are trapped in situations they can’t stand.
But I don’t want the same for me,
So I stay up in the air.

Daaaa, da-da, da, da-da.
Daaaa, da-da, da, da-da.
Daaaa, daaa; daaa, da-da-da
Mmm-mm…

I’m out in the woods;
Something here does my heart so good.
I breathe the air, and I know that I’m alive.
And I stare at all the birds as they fly by.
I guess it all comes down to them,
‘Cause they’re up in the air…

689. Falling - Julee Cruise



Don't let yourself be hurt this time.
Don't let yourself be hurt this time.

Then I saw your face
Then I saw your smile

The sky is still blue
The clouds come and go
Yet something is different
Are we falling in love?

Don't let yourself be hurt this time.
Don't let yourself be hurt this time.

Then your kiss so soft
Then your touch so warm

The stars still shine bright
The mountains still high
Yet something is different
Are we falling in love?

Falling
Falling
Are we falling in love?
