1001. Can We Start Again - Tindersticks

So many times
I said that I love them
Looking over my shoulder at the door
So many times
I can't live without her
The wheel kept turning round
My feeling's changed
I went my own way
What can I say
To make you stay?

Cos in my dreams
They smother all over me
And I'm trying to explain
So many arms
Reach from my memories
Pull all at once
I'm lost amongst
The folds in their skin
I did you wrong
But I'm sorry now
And I'll show you how

If you were here now
You couldn't change
You wouldn't understand
But I'm ready now I'm ready now
I'll make you proud I was your man
And sing a song
But it's so ugly now
And I'll show you how

Cos I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
Hey I'm ready now

Can we start again?
So many times I said that I loved them
I'm ready now
But I'm ready now
Can we start again?
So many times
I can't live without her
The years was more than I could bear
It's turning round

But in my dreams Can we start again?
They smother all over me I'm ready now
And I'm trying to explain Can we start again?

So many arms reach from my memory
The wheels kept turning round

1000. Rearviewmirror - Pearl Jam

I took a drive today
Time to emancipate
I guess it was the beatings made me wise
But I'm not about to give thanks, or apologize
I couldn't breathe, holdin' me down
Hand on my face, pushed to the ground
Enmity gaged, united by fear
Forced to endure what I could not forgive

I seem to look away
Wounds in the mirror waved
It wasn't my surface most defiled
Head at your feet, fool to your crown
Pissed on my plate, swallowed it down
Enmity gaged, united by fear
Tried to endure what I could not forgive

(Live shows:

I will forgive
I will forgive
If we're gonna live
We better forgive)

Saw things [Repeat x4]
Clearer [Repeat x2]
Once you, were in my rearviewmirror

I gather speed from you fucking with me
Once and for all I'm far away
I hardly believe, finally the shades, are raised, hey

Saw things so much clearer
Once you, once you [Repeat x3]
Rearviewmirror

Saw things so much clearer
Once you, oh yeah

999. Neighbourhood #1 (Tunnels) - Arcade Fire

And if the snow buries my, my neighborhood.
And if my parents are crying
Then I'll dig a tunnel from my window to yours,
Yeah, a tunnel from my window to yours.

You climb out the chimney,
And meet me in the middle, the middle of the town.
And since there's no one else around,
We let our hair grow long,
And forget all we used to know.
Then our skin gets thicker from
Living out in the snow.

You change all the lead
Sleepin' in my head,
As the day grows dim
I hear you sing a golden hymn

Then we tried to name our babies
But we forgot all the names that
The names we used to know.
But sometimes, we remember our bedrooms,
And our parents' bedrooms,
And the bedrooms of our friends.
Then we think of our parents,
Well what ever happened to them?!

You change all the lead
Sleepin' in my head to gold,
As the day grows dim,
I hear you sing a golden hymn,
The song I've been trying to say.

Purify the colors, purify my mind.
Purify the colors, purify my mind,
And spread the ashes of the colors,
Over this heart of mine!

998. Paranoid Android - Radiohead

Please could you stop the noise,
I'm trying to get some rest
From all the unborn chicken voices in my head
What's that?
What's that?

When I am king, you will be first against the wall
With your opinion which is of no consequence at all
What's that?
What's that?

Ambition makes you look pretty ugly
Kicking and squealing Gucci little piggy
You don't remember
You don't remember
Why don't you remember my name?
Off with his head, man
Off with his head, man
Why don't you remember my name?
I guess he does

Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height, height
Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height, height,
Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me

That's it, sir
You're leaving
The crackle of pigskin
The dust and the screaming
The yuppies networking
The panic, the vomit
The panic, the vomit
God loves his children,
God loves his children, yeah!

997. It's the end of the world - R.E.M.

That's great, it starts with an earthquake,
Birds and snakes, an aeroplane
And Lenny Bruce is not afraid
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
World serves its own needs,
Dummy serve your own needs
Feed it off an aux speak, grunt, no,
Strength, no, ladder start to clatter with fear
Fight down height
Wire in a fire, representing seven games,
A government for hire and a combat site
Left of West and coming in a hurry
With the furies breathing down your neck
Team by team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped
Look at that low playing!
Fine, then
Uh oh, overflow, population, common food, but it'll do
Save yourself, serve yourself
World serves its own needs,
Listen to your heart bleed
Dummy with the rapture
And the revered and the right, right
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light,
Feeling pretty psyched
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine

Six o'clock-TV hour
Don't get caught in foreign towers
Slash and burn, return,
Listen to yourself churn
Locking in, uniforming, book burning, blood letting
Every motive escalate
Automotive incinerate
Light a candle, light a votive
Step down, step down
Watch your heel crush, crushed, uh-oh,
This means no fear cavalier
Renegade steer clear!
A tournament, tournament, a tournament of lies
Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline

It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine
It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine

The other night I dreamt of knives,
Continental drift divide
Mountains sit in a line,
Leonard Bernstein
Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs
Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom!
You symbiotic, patriotic,
Slam book neck, right? Right
It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone) and I feel fine

996. Waiting on a friend - The Rolling Stones

Watching girls go passing by it ain't the latest thing
I'm just standing in a doorway.
I'm just trying to make some sense.
Out of these girls passing by, the tales they tell of men.
I'm not waiting on a lady, I'm just waiting on a friend. Mm.

A smile relieves a heart that grieves, remember what I said.
I'm not waiting on a lady, I'm just waiting on a friend.
I'm just waiting on a friend, just waiting on a friend.
I'm just waiting on a friend, I'm just waiting on a friend,
just waiting on a friend.

Don't need a whore, don't need no booze, don't need a virgin priest.
But I need some one I can cry to.
I need someone to protect.

Ooh, making love and breaking hearts, it is a game for youth.
But I'm not waiting on a lady.
I'm just waiting on a friend.
I'm just waiting on a friend, just waiting on a friend.
I'm just waiting on a friend, just waiting on a friend.

995. Should have known better - Sufjan Stevens

I should have known better
To see what I could see
My black shroud
Holding down my feelings
A pillar for my enemies

I should have wrote a letter
And grieve what I happen to grieve
My black shroud
I never trust my feelings
I waited for the remedy

When I was three, three maybe four
She left us at that video store
Be my rest, be my fantasy [x2]

I’m light as a feather
I’m bright as the Oregon breeze
My black shroud
Frightened by my feelings
I only wanna be a relief

No, I’m not a go-getter
The demon had a spell on me
My black shroud
Captain of my feelings
The only thing I wanna believe

When I was three, and free to explore
I saw her face on the back of the door
Be my rest, be my fantasy [x2]

I should have known better
Nothing can be changed
The past is still the past
The bridge to nowhere
I should have wrote a letter
Explaining what I feel, that empty feeling

Don’t back down, concentrate on seeing
The breakers in the bar, the neighbor’s greeting
My brother had a daughter
The beauty that she brings, illumination

Don’t back down, there is nothing left
The breakers in the bar, no reason to live
I’m a fool in the fetter
Rose of Aaron’s beard, where you can reach me

Don’t back down: nothing can be changed
Cantilever bridge, the drunken sailor
My brother had a daughter
The beauty that she brings, illumination

994. Just one of the guys - Jenny Lewis

All our friends, they're gettin' on
But the girls are still staying young
If I get caught being rude in a conversation
With the child bride on her summer vacation

No matter how hard I try to be just one of the guys
There's a little something inside that won't let me!
No matter how hard I try to have an open mind
There's a little voice inside that prevents me!

Ooh, how I live it got me here
Locked in this bathroom FULL OF TEARS
And I have begged for you & I have borrowed
But I've been the only sister to MY OWN SORROW!

No matter how hard I try to be just one of the guys
There's a little something inside that won't let me!
No matter how hard I try to have an open mind
There's a little clock inside that keeps tickin' !

There's only one difference between you & me:
When I look at myself all I can see
I'm just another lady without a BABY

No matter how hard I try to be just one of the guys
There's a little something inside that won't let me!
No matter how hard I try to have an open mind
There's a little cop inside that prevents me!

I'm not gonna break for you!
I'm not gonna pray for you!
I'm not gonna pay for you!
That's not what ladies do!

Oh when you break
When you break
Oh when you break
Oh when you break

993. All I need - Radiohead

I'm the next act
Waiting in the wings
I'm an animal
Trapped in your parked car
I am holidays
That you choose to ignore

You are all I need
You are all I need
I'm in the middle of your picture
Lying in the leaves

I am a moth
Who just wants to share your light
I'm just an insect
Trying to get out of the night

I only stick with you
Because there are no others

You are all I need
You are all I need
I'm in the middle of your picture
Lying in the leaves

It's all wrong
It's all right
It's all wrong

992. A Nervous Tic Motion of The Head To The Left - Andrew Bird

Overprescribed
Under the mister
We had survived to
Turn on the History Channel
And ask our esteemed panel
Why are we alive?
And here's how they replied
You're what happens when two substances collide
And by all accounts you really should have died

Stretched out on a tarmac
Six miles south of North Platte
He can't stand to look back
Sixteen tons of hazmat
It's what goes undelivered
Undelivered

It's a nervous tic motion of the head to the left
It's a nervous tic motion of the head to the left
Of the what, of the head to the left
So exercise yourselves to your bereft
'Cause it's a nervous tic motion of the head to the left of the, of the, to the

Splayed out on a bath mat
Six miles north of South Platte
He just wants his life back
What's in that paper nap sack
It's what goes undelivered
Undelivered

It's a nervous tic motion of the head to the left
A nervous tic motion of the head
Head to the left
It's a nervous tic motion of the, of the, to the
Left

It's a nervous tic motion of the head to the, of the, of the head of the head to the

Over imbibedUnder the mister
Barely alive we cover the blisters in flannel
Though the words we speak are banal
Now one of them's a lie
Now one of them's a lie
You're what happens when two substances collide
And by all accounts you really should have died

991. Default - Django Django

You thought you'd set the bar
I'd never tried to work it out
We just lit the fire
And now you want to put it out

You gave it all you got
And what you got is not a lot
Why don't you hand it over?
Time is up, you've had your shot

Gather once again
Disasters in the end
It's like a default

You thought you'd make the grade
All you made will start to fade
We threw it in the fire
It's better that it not be made

You just brought together
Didn't seem to have the heart
Wheels, they're coming off now
Knew that it would fall apart

Take one for the team
You're a cog in the machine
It's like a default

Take one for the team
You're a cog in the machine
It's like a default

You've missed the starting gun
For everything you've ever done
You took part in the race
But disappeared without a trace

You thought you'd set the bar
I never tried to work it out
We just lit the fire
And now you want to put it out

Forget about the cause
Press rewind then stop and pause
It's like a default

Forget about the cause
Press rewind then stop and pause
It's like a default

990. Run right back - The Black Keys

Before she hits the ground
She's gonna want to explode
Never step aside
Never run and hide

She holds it all up under
That pretty head of hers, oh
It comes screaming out
In an electric shout

She's the worst thing
I've been addicted to

I run right back
Run right back to her
I wanna jump the track
And run right back, I'm sure
I run right back to her

I run right back to her
I run right back to her
I run right back to her
I run right back to her

Well she's a special thing
She doesn't read too much, oh
But there's no doubt
She's written about

Finest exterior
She's so superior, oh
But she won't allow
And I'm wounded now

She's the worst thing
I've been addicted to

I run right back
Run right back to her
I wanna jump the track
And run right back, I'm sure
I run right back to her

I run right back to her
I run right back to her
I run right back to her
I run right back to her

Oh yeah...

989. Vaka - Sigur Rós
