901. Interrogation song - Bret McKenzie



Sam: Kermit, let's begin
Describe the day you played Berlin
Constantine (pretending to be Kermit): We rehearsed and then we walked about
We ate bratwurst and sauerkraut
Jean Pierre: That night, at 10:03
Were you inside the portrait gallery?
Constantine: From 10:00 to 10:04
Was when we did the show's encore
Sam: Hm, frog, we've got our doubts
Can you confirm your whereabouts?
Constantine: My alibi is watertight
The audience saw me sing all night
Jean Pierre: Monsieur, we know you did the crime
Constantine: I was onstage that whole time
Ask who sang Rainbow Connection.
Sam and Jean Pierre: Thank you, Kermit! No more questions!
Jean Pierre (spoken): Hello! I think it's time for good cop/romantic cop.
Miss Piggy, you cleaned up lock inside
Now's your chance to save your hide
Miss Piggy: Oh, gentlemen, I did not know
It's a crime to steal the show
Sam: Tell us how the art was taken
Jean Pierre: If you want to save your bacon
Miss Piggy: I haven't seen your missing art
All I stole was audience hearts
Sam: We can give you a plea deal
Jean Pierre: All you have to do is squeal
Miss Piggy: I'm not a thief, I don't know how
All I've ever taken is a bow
Jean Pierre: We'll catch the swine that did this job
Miss Piggy: Give up the pig puns, creep!
Go jump in a lake, that's my suggestion!
Sam and Jean Pierre: Thank you, Piggy! No more questions!
Jean Pierre (spoken): I think she likes me, no?
Sam (spoken): I don't think your puns are helping the investigation.
Jean Pierre: You know, I think they did it
Sam: No, they didn't!
Jean Pierre: Yes, they did, and we can pin it
Sam: If they did, how did they do it?
Jean Pierre: If they didn't, how did they didn't?
Sam: If they didn't, then it's easy
'Cause they simply didn't do it
Jean Pierre: If they did it, then I knew it
But we've nothing that can prove it!
(spoken): Ahem. Oh excuse me. Bring in the purple guy with the schnoz.
Sam: Do you remember what you did
On the night you played Madrid?
Gonzo: I was hit by a raging bull
And rushed off-stage to the hospital
Jean Pierre: Gonzo, what do you know
About the sculpture theft at Madrid's Prado?
Gonzo: I never saw the stolen bust
I spent the night in bed concussed
Sam: The truth, Gonzo, the clock is ticking
Gonzo: If you don't believe me, ask the chicken
Camilla was there, she'll cooperate
Jean Pierre: Madam, are you willing to corroborate?
Camilla: (clucking)
Sam: Will somebody get this chicken out of there?
Gonzo: Calm down, Camilla, it's a routine inspection
Sam and Jean Pierre: Thank you, Gonzo! No more questions!
Jean Pierre: Let's go from the start
What do you know about the stolen art?
Lew Zealand: I didn't know there was a plan
Dr. Teeth: Your accusation's far out, man!
Dr. Bunsen Honeydew: The chances of us committing a crime
Are less than .009
The Swedish Chef: (Faux-Swedish)
Jean Pierre: To help with our investigation
Can you do a full translation?
Translator: What the chef just said to you was
"Shnoopdy-shnoopdy-shnoo." It's not Swedish
Animal: (grunts and laughs)
Penguins: (quacking)
Fozzie Bear: Uh, I can do an Elvis impression
Sam and Jean Pierre: Thank you, Muppets! No more questions!
Jean Pierre: They didn't
Sam: No, they didn't
Jean Pierre: There's no way they did the crime
Sam: They couldn't, they're too stupid
Jean Pierre: They're not criminal masterminds
Sam: We do not know who did it
But we know they didn't do it
Jean Pierre and Sam: So we know who didn't do it
Yes, we know who didn't do it!
Jean Pierre (spoken): They're incapable of being culpable.

900. Fever - The Black Keys



Fever, where'd you run to?
Fever, where'd you run to?
Acting right is so routine
Fever let me live a dream
Fever I'm a slave to
No one misbehave too
Fever that misunderstood
Wouldn't leave you if I could
Fever

[Chorus]
Fever cause I'm breaking
Fever got me aching
Fever, why don't you explain?
Break it down again
Fever got me guilty
Just go ahead and kill me
Fever, why don't you explain?
Break it down again

Fever, can you hear me?
Fever, can you hear me?
You shook me like I never been
Now show me how to live again
It used to be a blessing
But fever's got me stressing
Realize I am to blame
But fever let me live again
Fever

[Chorus]

Now if the cold, pale, light in your eyes
Reaches those horizon lines
You know not to leave us
Now if the cold, pale, light in your eyes
Reaches those horizon lines
You know not to leave us
Fever

899. True happiness this way lies - The The



And have you ever wanted something so badly
That it possessed your body & your soul
Through the night & through the day
Until you finally get it!
And then you realize that it wasn't what you wanted after all.
And then those selfsame sickly little thoughts
Now go & attach themselves to something....
....or somebody....new!
And the whole goddamn thing starts all over again.
Well, I've been crushing the symptoms but I can't locate the
Cause.
Could God really be so cruel?
To give us feelings that could never be fulfilled. Baby!
I've got my sights set on you. I've got my sight set on you
And someday, someday, someday, you'll come my way.
But when you put your arms around me
I'll be looking over your shoulder for something new
'cause I ain't ever found peace upon the breast of a girl
I ain't ever found peace with the religion of the world
I ain't ever found peace at the bottom of a glass
Sometimes it seems the more I ask for the less I receive
Sometimes it seems the more I ask for the less I receive
The only true freedom is freedom from the heart's desires
& the only true happiness....this way lies.

897. Alfie - Lily Allen



Oh deary me,
My little brother's in his bedroom smoking weed,
I tell him he should get up cos it's nearly half past three
He can't be bothered cos he's high on THC
I ask him very nicely if he'd like a cup of tea,
I can't even see you cos the room is so smokey,
Don't understand how one can watch so much TV,
My baby brother Alfie how I wish that you could see

Oh I only say it cos I care,
So please can you stop pulling my hair
Now, now there's no need to swear,
Please don't despair my dear Mon frere

Ooooo Alfie get up it's a brand new day,
I just can't sit back and watch you waste your life away
You need to get a job because the bills need to get paid
Get off your lazy arse,
Alfie please use your brain
Surely there's some walls out there that you can go spray,
I'm feeling guilty for leading you astray,
Now how the hell do you ever expect that you'll get laid,
When all you do is stay and play on your computer games?

Oh I only say it cos I care,
So please can you stop pulling my hair
Now, now there's no need to swear,
Please don't despair my dear Mon frere

Oh little brother please refrain from doing that,
I'm trying to help you out so can you stop being a twat
It's time that you and I sat down and had a little chat,
Just look me in the eyes take off that stupid fitted cap

Oh I only say it cos I care,
So please can you stop pulling my hair
Now, now there's no need to swear,

Please don't despair
Please don't despair
Mon frere

896. When I grow up - Garbage



Cut my tongue out
I've been caught out
Like a giant juggernaut
Happy hours
Golden showers
On a cruise to freak you out

We could fly a helicopter
Nothing left to talk about
Entertain you
Celebrate you
I'll be back to frame you

[Chorus]
When I grow up
I'll be stable
When I grow up
I'll turn the tables

Trying hard to fit among you
Floating out to wonderland
Unprotected
God I'm pregnant
Damn the consequences

[Chorus]

Blood and blisters
On my fingers
Chaos rules when we're apart
Watch my temper
I go mental
I'll try to be gentle

[Chorus]

When I grow up
When I grow up
When I grow up
I'll turn the tables

Don't take offense
Better make amends
Rip it all to shreds and let it go

I rip it all to shreds and let it go
I rip it all to shreds and let it go
I rip it all to shreds and let it go

895. Special - Garbage



I'm living without you
But I know all about you
I have run you down into the ground
Spread disease about you over town
I used to adore you
I couldn't control you
There was nothing that I wouldn't do
To keep myself around and close to you

Do you have an opinion?
A mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
But I've run out of patience
I couldn't care less

I,
I

Do you have an opinion?
A mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know

I used to amuse you
But I knew that I'd lose you
Now you're here and begging for a chance
But there's no way in hell I'd take you back

Do you have an opinion?
A mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
But I've run out of patience
I've run out of comments
I'm tired of the violence
I couldn't care less

I'm looking for a new [Repeat: x4]

You were the talk of the town [Repeat: x4]

I thought you were special [Repeat: x4]

894. Behold the Lord High Executioner - Gilbert & Sullivan



(Chorus:)
Behold the Lord High Executioner
A personage of noble rank and title —
A dignified and potent officer,
Whose functions are particularly vital!
Defer, defer,
To the Lord High Executioner!
Defer, defer,
To the noble Lord, to the noble Lord,
To the Lord High Executioner!

[Enter Ko-Ko attended.]

(Ko-Ko:)
Taken from the county jail
By a set of curious chances;
Liberated then on bail,
On my own recognizances;
Wafted by a favouring gale
As one sometimes is in trances,
To a height that few can scale,
Save by long and weary dances;
Surely, never had a male
Under such like circumstances
So adventurous a tale,
Which may rank with most romances.
(Ko-Ko & Chorus:)
Taken from the county jail
(Taken from the county jail)
By a set of curious chances;
(Liberated then on bail)
Surely, never had a male
(Surely, never had a male)
So adventurous a tale.
(So adventurous a tale.)

(Chorus:)
Defer, defer,
To the Lord High Executioner!
Defer, defer,
To the noble Lord,
To the noble Lord High Executioner!
Bow down, bow down,
To the Lord High Executioner!
Defer, defer,
To the noble, noble Lord,
To the High Executioner!

893. So please you, Sir, we much regret - Gilbert & Sullivan



So please you, Sir, we much regret
If we have failed in etiquette
Towards a man of rank so high —
We shall know better by and by.

(Yum-Yum:)
But youth, of course, must have its fling,
So pardon us,
So pardon us,

(Pitti-Sing:)
And don't, in girlhood's happy spring,
Be hard on us,
Be hard on us,
If we're inclined to dance and sing,
Tra la la la la la.

(Yum-Yum, Peep-Bo & Pitti-Sing:) [dancing]
But youth, of course, must have its fling,
So pardon us,
And don't, in girlhood's happy spring,
Be hard on us

(Chorus:)
Tra la la la la la,
Tra la la la la la,
Tra la la la la la,
Tra la la la la la,
But youth, of course, must have its fling,
So pardon us,

(Chorus & three maids:)
Tra la la la la la la,
La la!
Tra la la la la la la,
La la!
Tra la la la la la la,
La la!
Tra la la la la,
La la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la,la, la,
La!

(Pooh-Bah:)
I think you ought to recollect
You cannot show too much respect
Towards the highly titled few;
But nobody does, and why should you?
That youth at us should have its fling,
Is hard on us,
Is hard on us;
To our prerogative we cling —
So pardon us,
So pardon us,
If we decline to dance and sing.
Tra la la la la la la
Tra la la la la la la
Tra la la la la la la
Tra la la la la la la
[Dancing]

(Yum-Yum, Peep-Bo & Pitti-Sing:) [dancing]
But youth, of course, must have its fling,
So pardon us,
And don't, in girlhood's happy spring,
Be hard on us,

(Chorus:]
But youth, of course, must have its fling,
So pardon us,

(All:)
Tra la la la la la la,
La la!
Tra la la la la la la,
La la!
Tra la la la la la la,
La la!
Tra la la la la,
La la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la,la, la,
La!

892. Before I fall - Sami Freeman



You and I alone
Far away from home
Into the great unknown
Hand in hand we roam

Apple from the tree
Give a taste to me
Kiss me in my sleep
Dreaming oh so deep

Paradise is lost
Innocence is gone
Won't you come along
Into the great unknown
Won't you come along
Into the great unknown

Hand in hand we stand
Strangers in this land
Catch me if you can
Before I fall again
Catch me if you can
Before I fall again
Catch me if you can
Before I fall again

891. Littlest things - Lily Allen



Sometimes I find myself sittin' back and reminiscing
Especially when I have to watch other people kissin'
And I remember when you started callin' me your miss's
All the play fightin', all the flirtatious disses
I'd tell you sad stories about my childhood
I don't know why I trusted you but I knew that I could
We'd spend the whole weekend lying in our own dirt
I was just so happy in your boxers and your t-shirt

[Chorus]
Dreams, Dreams
Of when we had just started things
Dreams of you and me
It seems, It seems
That I can't shake those memories
I wonder if you have the same dreams too.

The littlest things that take me there
I know it sounds lame but its so true
I know its not right, but it seems unfair
That the things are reminding me of you
Sometimes I wish we could just pretend
Even if only for one weekend
So come on, Tell me
Is this the end?

Drinkin' tea in bed
Watching DVD's
When I discovered all your dirty grotty magazines
You take me out shopping and all we'd buy is trainers
As if we ever needed anything to entertain us
the first time that you introduced me to your friend
and you could tell that I was nervous, so you held my hand
when I was feeling down, you made that face you do
There's no one in the world who could replace you

[Chorus]
Dreams, Dreams
Of when we had just started things
Dreams of me and you
And it seems, It seems
That I can't shake those memories
I wonder if you feel the same way too

The littlest things that take me there
I know it sounds lame but it's so true
I know its not right, but it seems unfair
The things reminding me of you
Sometimes I wish we could just pretend
Even if only for one weekend
So come on, Tell me
Is this the end?

Makes us feel like home

Here in Portugal

Portugal, Portugal

And now it's coming to the end
And I don't wanna to go
Oh if you let me I will move here
And live in Portugal

Portugal, Portugal

888. Keep me in mind - Little Joy



Red from start to end and we can't hold the feelings which are crossing the brain
Strips the cord of a sensible world what's worse?

She left her mark and there were both oh the nature of a scripted curse
Kissed my eyes sat on the bed and then said

Frankly dear I'm forced to give it up
Tried my hand and now I've had enough
Even though we have to say goodbye
Keep me in mind
Keep me in mind
Keep me in mind

Blamed in advance for the past with no bearing on a present tense
All that slack the things that she made when she said

Oh dear someday I'm going to be Someone better, picture person me
But 'til then we'll call it the end and she asked

Frankly dear my breath has had enough
Standing afternoon and left at night
Even though we have to say goodbye
Keep me in mind
Keep me in mind
Keep me in mind

Keep me in mind

887. 31 Today - Aimee Mann



Thirty-one today
What a thing to say
Drinking Guinness in the afternoon
Taking shelter in the black cocoon

I thought my life would be different somehow
I thought my life would be better by now
I thought my life would be different somehow
I thought my life would be better by now
But it's not, and I don't know where to turn

Called some guy I knew
Had a drink or two
And we fumbled as the day grew dark
I pretended that I felt a spark

I thought my life would be different somehow
I thought my life would be better by now
I thought my life would be different somehow
I thought my life would be better by now
But it's not, and I don't know where to turn
No, it's not, and I don't know where to turn
No, it's not, and I don't know where to turn

Easter comes and goes
Maybe Jesus knows
So you roll on with the best you can
Getting loaded, watching CNN

I thought my life would be different somehow
I thought my life would be better by now
I thought my life would be different somehow
I thought my life would be better by now
But it's not, and I don't know where to turn
No, it's not, and I don't know where to turn
No, it's not, and I don't know where to turn
No, it's not, and I don't know
