823. Sirens - Pearl Jam



Hear the sirens, hear the sirens
Hear the sirens, hear the circus, so profound
I hear the sirens more and more in this here town

Let me catch my breath to breathe and reach across the bed
Just to know we’re safe, I am a grateful man
The slightest bit of light and I can see you clear

I have to take your hand and feel your breath for fear this someday will be over
I pulled you close, so much to lose knowing that nothing lasts forever

I didn't care, before you were here
I danced in laughter with the ever after
But all things change, let this remain

Hear the sirens covering distance in the night
The sound echoing closer, will they come for me next time

For every choice, mistake I made, it's not my plan
To send you in the arms of another man
And if you choose to stay, I'll wait, I'll understand

It's a fragile thing this life we lead, if I think too much, I can get over
Whelmed by the grace, by which we live our lives with death over our shoulders
Want you to know, that should I go, I always loved you, held you high above, true
I study your face, the fear goes away

It's a fragile thing this life we lead, if I think too much, I can get over
Whelmed by the grace, by which we live our lives with death over our shoulders
Want you to know, that should I go, I always loved you, held you high above, true
I study your face, the fear goes away, the fear goes away, the fear goes away

The fear goes away

822. If I had a tail - Queens of the Stone Age



Gitchy, gitchy
Ooh la la
Da doo ron ron
You won't get far

I'm machine
I'm obsolete
In the land of the free
Lobotomy

I wanna suck, I wanna lick
I want to cry and I want to spit
Tears of pleasure
Tears of pain
They trickle down your face the same

It's how you look
Not how you feel
A city of glass
With no heart

If I had a tail
I'd own the night
If I had a tail
I'd swat the flies

Yeah, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Yeah, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

Gitchy, gitchy
Ooh la la
Da doo ron ron
It won't get far

Animals in
The midnight zone
When you own the world
You're always home

Get your hands dirty
Roll up them sleeves
Brainwashed or true believers?
Buy flash cars
Diamond rings
Expensive holes to bury things

I'm machine
I'm obsolete
In the land of the free
Immortality

If I had a tail
I'd own the place
If I had a tail
I'd swat the flies

Oh-oh-oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

See me dancing on the stars
See me dance

If I have a tail
I will control the night
If I have a tail
I will control the night
If I have a tail
I will control the night

821. Elephant woman - Blonde Redhead



Angel I can see myself in your eyes
Angel won’t you feel for me from your heart
Do return my heart to me
No don’t insist I’m already hurt

Elephant girl
It was an accident unfortunate
Angel threw me like a rubber man
Aiming for the ground
Why amuse yourself in such way
No don’t insist I’m already hurt

Lay me down on the ground softly softly
Don’t remove my head hurts much too much

You never return it
Well I wouldn’t miss it
I shed no tears for broken me
You never know it my peace of mind
Now inside and outside are matching

Why amuse yourself in such way
No don’t insist I’m already hurt
If you never return it
Will it break your wings
Will you shed no tear for broken me

820. The vampyre of time and memory - Queens of the Stone Age



I want God to come and take me home
'Cause I'm all alone in this crowd
Who are you to me? Who am I supposed to be?
Not exactly sure anymore
Where's this going to? Can I follow through?
Or just follow you for a while?

Does anyone ever get this right?
I feel no love

Ain't no confusion here, it is as I feared
The illusion that you feel is real
To be vulnerable is needed most of all
If you intend to truly fall apart

You think the worst of all is far behind
The vampire of time and memories has died
I survived. I speak, I breathe,
I'm incomplete
I'm alive - hooray!
You're wrong again
'Cause I feel no love

Does anyone ever get this right?

Does anyone ever get this right?
I feel no love, I feel no love

819. Safe and sound - Capital Cities



I could lift you up
I could show you what you want to see
And take you where you want to be

You could be my luck
Even if the sky is falling down
I know that we'll be safe and sound
We're safe and sound

I could fill your cup
You know my river won't evaporate
This world we still appreciate

You could be my luck
Even in a hurricane of frowns
I know that we'll be safe and sound (safe and sound)
We're safe and sound (safe and sound)
We're safe and sound (underground)
We're safe and sound (safe and sound)

I could show you love
In a tidal wave of mystery
You'll still be standing next to me

You could be my luck
Even if we're six feet underground
I know that we'll be safe and sound
We're safe and sound

(Safe and sound)
(Safe and sound)
(Underground)
(Safe and sound)

I could lift you up
I could show you what you want to see
And take you where you want to be

You could be my luck
Even if the sky is falling down
I know that we'll be safe and sound

I could lift you up
I could show you what you want to see
And take you where you want to be

You could be my luck
Even if the sky is falling down
I know that we'll be safe and sound
We're safe and sound
We're safe and sound
We're safe and sound

We're safe and sound (safe and sound)
We're safe and sound (safe and sound)
We're safe and sound (underground)
We're safe and sound (safe and sound

818. Charmer - Aimee Mann



Aimee Mann - Charmer from Record Store Day on Vimeo.


When you're a charmer
The apples fall
And you're quite the little collector
You got 'em all

When you're a charmer
People respond
They can't see the hidden agenda
You got going on

But when you're weak it's the Holy Grail
You're two for one, it's a fire sale
And that's a wall that you cannot scale
So you're forced to burrow under

When you're a charmer
The world applauds
They don't know that secretly charmers
Feel like they're frauds

When you're a charmer
You hate yourself
A victim of sideshow hypnosis
Like everyone else

And then your thinking goes black and white
And you're all hunger and appetite
This is a battle you cannot fight
No, you only can surrender
No, you only can surrender
No, you only can surrender
No, you only can surrender

817. Give a little bit - Supertramp



Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
Give a little bit
I'll give a little bit of my love to you
There's so much that we need to share
So send a smile and show you care

I'll give a little bit
I'll give a little bit of my life for you
So give a little bit
Give a little bit of your time to me
See the man with the lonely eyes
Take his hand, you'll be surprised

Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
I'll give a little bit
I'll give a little bit of my life for you
Now's the time that we need to share
So find yourself, we're on our way back home

Going home
Don't you, don't you need to feel at home?
Oh yeah, we gotta sing

816. Diane Young - Vampire Weekend



You torched a Saab like a pile of leaves
I'm gonna to find some better wheels
Four-five meters running on around the bend
When the government agents surround you again
If Diane Young won't change your mind
Baby baby baby baby right on time.

Out of control but you're playing a role
DO you think you can go to the eighteenth hole
Well, you flip-flop the day of the championship
Try to go it alone, you roll for a bit
If Diane Young won't change your mind
Baby baby baby baby right on time.

Chorus:
Baby baby baby baby right on
Baby baby baby baby right on
Baby baby baby it's a light on
Baby baby baby it's a lifetime
Baby baby baby baby right on time
Time time time time.
Baby baby baby baby right on time

Uh let 'em go
If Diane Young won't change your mind
Baby baby baby baby right on time.

Irish and proud baby naturally
But you got the luck of a Kennedy
So grab the wheel, keep holding it tight
'Til you're driving off in the black of the night
If Diane Young won't change your mind
Baby baby baby baby right on time.

Chorus:
Baby baby baby baby right on
Baby baby baby baby right on
Baby baby baby it's a light on
Baby baby baby it's a lifetime
Baby baby baby baby right on time
Time time time time.
Baby baby baby baby right on time

Nobody knows what the future holds on
Said it's bad enough just getting old
Live my life, they say it's too fast
You know I love the past, 'cause I used to spend
If Diane Young won't change your mind
Baby baby baby baby right on time
