1037. Hostiles - Damon Albarn



When the serve is done
And the parish shuffled some
And the May frequencies come
To keep you away
When your body aches
From the arms of dreams you keep
And the hours passed by
Just left on repeat

It'll be a silent day
I'll share with you
Fighting off the hostiles
With whom we collude
Hoping to find the key
To this play of communications
Between you and me

When the LCD
Are all the player ones you can be
Put your foot down in the right hand lane
If you are with me
'Til the trains re-route
And the rush-hour is come
And the May frequencies
Have sent you to sleep

It'll be a silent day
I'll share with you
Fighting off the hostiles
With whom we collude
Hoping to find the key
To this play of communications
Between you and me

Don't burn so
Don't burn so
Don't burn so late
Don't burn so
Don't burn
Don't burn so late

It'll be a silent day
I'll share with you
Fighting off the hostiles
With whom we collude
Hoping to find the key
To this play of communications
Between you and me

1036. Casimir Pulaski day - Sufjan Stevens



Goldenrod and the 4H stone,
the things I brought you,
when I found out you had cancer of the bone

Your father cried on the telephone,
and he drove his car into the navy yard,
just to prove that he was sorry

In the morning, through the window shade,
when the light pressed up against your shoulderblade,
I could see what you were reading.

All the glory that the Lord has made,
and the complications you could do without,
when I kissed you on the mouth.

Tuesday night at the Bible study,
we lift our hands and pray over your body,
but nothing ever happens.

I remember at Michael's house,
in the living room when you kissed my neck,
and I almost touched your blouse.

In the morning at the top of the stairs,
when your father found out what we did that night,
and you told me you were scared.

All the glory when you ran outside,
with your shirt tucked in and your shoes untied,
and you told me not to follow you.

Sunday night when I cleaned the house,
I find the card where you wrote it out,
with the pictures of you mother.

On the floor at the great divide,
with my shirt tucked in and my shoes untied,
I am crying in the bathroom.

In the morning when you finally go,
and the nurse runs in with her head hung low,
and the cardinal hits the window.

In the morning in the winter shade,
on the 1st of March on the holiday,
I thought I saw you breathing.

All the glory that the Lord has made,
and the complications when I see His face,
in the morning in the window.

All the glory when he took our place,
but he took my shoulders and he shook my face,
and he takes and he takes and he takes.

1035. Bons dias - Deolinda



Fazes no dia que nasce
A manhã mais bonita
A brisa fresca da tarde
A noite menos fria
Eu não sei se tu sabes
Mas fizeste o meu dia também

Esse bom dia que dás é outro dia que nasce
É acordar mais bonita
Trabalhar com vontade
É estar no dia com pica
É passar com a vida e desejar-te um bom dia também
Um bom dia para ti
Não que apenas passa não que pesa e castiga
Não que esqueças mais tarde
Mas o dia em que me digas
Ao ouvido baixinho ai tu fizeste o meu dia também tão bom também

Faz também o dia de alguém
Faz também o dia de alguém
Faz também o dia de alguém
Faz também o dia de alguém

Fazes no dia que nasce
A manhã mais bonita
A brisa fresca da tarde
A noite menos fria
Eu não sei se tu sabes
Mas fizeste o meu dia também

Um bom dia para ti
E para o estranho que passa
Para aquele que se esquiva
Para quem se embaraça e se cala na vida
Mesmo que não o diga
Ai tu fizeste o meu dia também tão bom também

Faz também o dia de alguém
Faz também o dia de alguém
Faz também o dia de alguém
Faz também o dia de alguém

1034. You and me - Damon Albarn



I met Moko jumbie,
He walks on stilts through all saints row
Looking over the brew now, for a possession loss
People sound
No days off
In September, when the sun sets soon now

In you,
It radiates on you
On you
Seven high they're rising
Over on the other side
Of September when the sun sets sooner

Jab jab
Digging out a hole in Westbourne Grove
Tin foil and a lighter, the ship across
Five days on,
Two days off
In September
When the sun sets soon now

In you,
It radiates on you
On you
Seven high they're rising
On you
Over on the other side
Of September when the sun sets sooner

In you,
It radiates on you
On you
Seven high they're rising
Over on the other side
Of September
On you

You can blame me, blame me, blame me, blame me
When the twilight comes, all goes round again
All goes round again
All goes round again
All goes round again
All goes round again

You can blame me, blame me, blame me, blame me
When the twilight comes, all goes round again
All goes round again
All goes round again
All goes round again
All goes round again

Someday's I look at the morning
Trying to work out how I got here
'Cause the distance between us
Is the glamour's cost

Late night on the shop floor
What language was I speaking
Not sure I remember
The thrill and fall
Always in me

Let it go

You can blame me, blame me, blame me, blame me
When the twilight comes, all goes round again
All goes round again
All goes round again
All goes round again
All goes round again

You can blame me, blame me, blame me, blame me
When the twilight comes, all goes round again
All goes round again
All goes round again
All goes round again
All goes round again

On you
On you
On you
It's on you
It's on you

1033. Montezuma - Fleet Foxes



So now I am older than my mother and father
when they had their daughter
now what does that say about me

Oh how could I dream of such a selfless and true love
could I wash my hands of
just looking out for me

Oh man what I used to be
Oh man oh my oh me
Oh man what I used to be
Oh man oh my oh me

In dearth or in excess
both the slave and the empress
will return to the dirt I guess, naked as when they came

I wonder if I'll see any faces above me
or just cracks in the ceiling
nobody else to blame

Oh man what I used to be
Oh man oh my oh me
Oh man that I used to be
Oh man oh my oh me

Gold teeth and gold jewelry
every piece of your dowry
throw them into the tomb with me
bury them with my name

Unless I have someday
Ran my wandering mind away

Oh man what I used to be
Montezuma to Tripoli
Oh man oh my oh me

1032. Photographs (You Are Taking Now) - Damon Albarn





[Chorus:]
When the photographs you're taking now are taken down again
When the heavy clouds that hide the sun have gone
The millions of us on the hill from the star to lands end
When photographs you're taking now are taken now press send

This is a precious opportunity beware of the photographs you are taking now

We are flying over black sands
In a glass aeroplane
Crashing in slow motion in another cityscape game
Where the feeling is supernatural
Like passing into other worlds
The ending dissolution when the mother ship, it explodes

[Chorus]

We were walking like zombies on over
To the church of John Coltrane
8 hours on a bus from sunset but freedom taking cocaine
In the patent courts of nature
All is but a vanity
And the metronome that defeats you
Is the monochrome that you see

[Chorus]

This is a precious opportunity beware of the photographs you are taking now

Photographs you are taking now
Photographs you are taking now

1031. Empty club - Damon Albarn



I turned up late on a Saturday night
You had your headphones on and the only light
Came from the slow deleted history

I dropped my guard, you can do the same
We can go hard then ease the pain
With tomorrow's DVDs

Would you do that for me?
Would you do that for me?
Would you just turn and walk away?

In an empty club
Song is the sun
In the dim light of deleting histories
Never to be seen again

Now the pylon stance in a tug of war
In every town, feel the chemical roar
Of a congregation living in their drawers

As the lights go down on Saturday night
And the fires of Sunday begin their fight
With tomorrow's personnel

Would you do that for me?
Would you do that for me?
Would you just turn and walk away?

In an empty club
Song is the sun
In the dim light of deleting histories
Never to be seen again

1030. New person same old mistakes - Tame Impala



I can just hear them now
"How could you let us down?"
But they don't know what I found
Or see it from this way around
Feeling it overtake
All that I used to hate
Wonder what if we trade
I tried but it's way too late
All the signs I don't read
Two sides of me can't agree
When I breathe in too deep
Going with what I always longed for

Feel like a brand new person
(But you make the same old mistakes)
I don’t care I’m in love
(Stop before it’s too late)
Feel like a brand new person
(But you make the same old mistakes)
I finally know what is love
(You don’t have what it takes)
(Stop before it’s not too late)
(I know there’s too much at stake)
(Making the same mistakes)
And I still don’t know why it’s happening
(Stop while it’s not too late)
And I still don’t know

Finally taking flight
I know you don't think it's right
I know that you think it's fake
Maybe fake's what I like
Point is I have the right
I'm thinking in black and white
I'm thinking it's worth the fight
Soon to be out of sight
Knowing it all this time
Going with what I always longed for

Feel like a brand new person
(But you make the same old mistakes)
I don’t care I’m in love
(Stop before it’s too late)
Feel like a brand new person
(But you make the same old mistakes)
I finally know what is love
(You don’t have what it takes)
(Stop before it’s not too late)

Man, I know that it's hard to digest
But baby this story ain’t so different from the rest
And I know it seems wrong to accept
But you've got your demons, and she's got her regrets
And I know that it's hard to digest
A realization is as good as it gets
And I know it seems hard to accept
But you've got your demons, and she's got her regrets
But you've got your demons, and she's got her regrets

Feel like a brand new person
So how will I know that it's right?
In a new direction
So how will I know I've gone too far?
(Stop thinking that the only option was)
Feel like a brand new person
I finally know what it's like
(Stop thinking that the only option was)
So how will I know I've gone too far?
(Stop thinking that the only option was)
And I know it's hard to describe
(Stop thinking that the only option was)
So how will I know that it's right?

1029. Lonely press play - Damon Albarn



Arrhythmia
Accepting that you live with uncertainty
If you're lonely press play
Die lady die
The aspects that you pass on when traveling
When you're lonely press play
'Cause you're not resolved in your heart
You're waiting for me
To improve
Right here
When I'm lonely I press play

Swimming in blue
After new year into the mirror she flew
When I'm lonely I press play
Can I get any closer
One anecdote cannot not bring to you
When I'm lonely I press play
'Cause you're not resolved in your heart
You're waiting for me
To improve
Right here
When I'm lonely I press play
Arrhythmia
Accepting that you live with uncertainty
If you're lonely press play
Can I get any closer
One anecdote cannot bring to you
When I'm lonely I press play
'Cause you're not resolved in your heart
You're waiting for me

1028. Every songbird says - Sam Beam and Jesca Hoop



I'm a tiny heart that's falling fast
Like a humming bird, like an hourglass
I'm on a boat, at the turning way
For the distant horn, of a promise ring

This bed is old, but the dream is new
You can borrow mine, if you break a few
I'm a mountain side, I can wash away
I'm a pool of tears, on a wedding day

Oooh we're both baby bottles full of love
Oooh empty fingers of a glove
Oooh we know when it's enough
Oooh enough, oooh enough,
Oooh it's enough, oooh to be walking with you

I get lost, I get lost a lot and you meet me there
I can close my eyes and find you anywhere
I can hold you close while you wonder free
But the long walk home says you're good for me
You're good for me

I can take a lot, I'll give you more
We're a tiny heart, but the blood is warm
I'm a thunder cloud, I'm cutting through
Every songbird says I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you, I'm in love with you, I'm in love with you

Oooh we're both deaf and banging on a drum
Snow when you're sleeping in the sun.
Oooh we know when it's enough
Oooh enough, oooh enough, oooh enough,
Oooh sun sinking down and its work is never done
Oooh your heart is never won
Oooh we know when it's enough
Oooh enough, oooh enough, oooh enough, oooh enough, oooh enough, oooh enough, oooh enough, oooh it's enough,
Oooh to be walking with you
And get lost

1027. Everyday robots - Damon Albarn





'They didn’t know where they was going, but they knew where they was wasn’t it'

We are everyday robots on our phones
In the process of getting home
Looking like standing stones
Out there on our own

We’re everyday robots in control
Or in the process of being sold
Driving in adjacent cars
‘Til you press restart

Everyday robots just touch thumbs
Swimmin’ in lingo they become
Stricken in a status sea
One more vacancy

For everyday robots getting old
When our lips are cold
Lookin’ like standing stones
Out there on our own

Little robots in ringback tones
In the process of getting home

1026. Burn the witch - Queens of the Stone Age





Holding hands
Skipping like a stone
On our way
To see what we have done
The first to speak
Is the first to lie
The children cross
Their hearts & hope to die

Bite your tongue
Swear to keep your mouth shut

Ask yourself
Will I burn in Hell?
Then write it down
& cast it in the well
There they are
The mob it cries for blood
To twist the tale
Into fire wood
Fan the flames
With a little lie
Then turn your cheek
Until the fire dies
The skin it peels
Like the truth, away
What it was
I will never say...

Bite your tongue, swear to keep
Keep your mouth shut
Make up something
Make up something good...
Holding hands
Skipping like a stone
Burn the witch
Burn to ash & bone

1025. You think I ain't worth a dollar, but I feel like a millionaire - Queens of the Stone Age





Dead bull with the life from the low
I'll be massive conquistador
Give me soul and show me the door
Metal heavy, soft at the core
Gimme toro, gimme some more

Pressurize, neutralize
Deep fried, gimme some more

Space flunky, four on the floor
Fortified with the liquor store
This one's down, gimme some more
Gimme toro, gimme some more

Shrunken head I love to adore
B-movie, gimme some gore
Gimme toro, gimme some more
B-movie, gimme some gore

Gimme toro, gimme some more

1024. My god is the sun - Queens of the Stone Age





Far beyond the desert road
Where everything ends up
So good the empty space, mental erase
Forgive, forgot

Heal them, like fire from a gun
Kneeling, my god is the Sun
Heal them, with fire from above
Kneeling, my god is the Sun

I don't know what time it was
I don't wear a watch
So good to be an ant who crawls
Atop a spinning rock

Heal them, like fire from a gun
Kneeling, my god is the Sun
Heal them, with fire from above
Kneeling, my god is the Sun

Heal them, like fire from a gun
Kneeling, my god is the Sun
Healing, kneeling
Godless heathens

Godless heathens always waltz on the sky

1023. Light years - Pearl Jam





I've used hammers made out of wood
I have played games with pieces and rules
I've deciphered tricks at the bar
But now your gone
I haven't figured out why
I've come up with riddles
And jokes about war
I've figured out numbers and what there for
I've understood feelings
And I've understood words
But how could you be taken away

And wherever you've gone
And where ever we might go
It don't seem fair
Today just disappeared
Your lights reflected now
Reflected from a far
We were but stones
Your light made us stars

With heavy breath
Awakens regrets
Back pages and days alone the could've been spent
Together but we were miles apart
Every inch between becomes light years now
No time to be void
Or save up on life
Uh you've got to spend it all

And wherever you've gone
And where ever we might go
It don't seem fair
You seem to like it here
Your lights reflected now
Reflected from a far
We were but stones
Your light made us stars

And wherever you've gone
And wherever we might go
It don't seem fair
Today just disappeared
Your lights reflected now
Reflected from a far
We were but stones
Your light made us stars

1022. Thin air - Pearl Jam



There's a light, when my baby's in my arms.
There's a light, when the window shades are drawn.
Hesitate when I feel I may do harm to her.
Wash it off cause this feeling we can share.
And I know she's reached my heart in thin air.

Byzantine is reflected in our pond.
There's a cloud, but the water remains calm.
Reaching in the suns fingers clutch the dawn to pass.
Even out, it's a precious thing to bear.
And I know she's reached my heart in thin air.
Yes I know she's reached my heart in thin air.

It's not in my past to presume.
Love can keep on moving in both directions.
How to be happy and true is the quest we're taking on together.

Take it on, on, on, on, on.
Take it on, on, on, on, on.

There's a light when my baby's in my arms.
And I know she's reached my heart in thin air.
And I know she's reached my heart in thin air.
And I know she's reached my heart in thin air.
Yes I know she's reached my heart.

1021. I am mine - Pearl Jam



The selfish, they're all standing in line
Faithing and hoping to buy themselves time
Me, I figure as each breath goes by
I only own my mind

North is to South what the clock is to time
There's east and there's west and there's everywhere life
I know I was born and I know that I'll die
The in-between is mine
I am mine

And the feeling it gets left behind
All the innocence lost at one time
Significance behind the eyes
There's no need to hide
We're safe tonight

The ocean is full 'cause everyone's crying
The full moon is looking for friends at high tide
The sorrow grows bigger when the sorrow's denied
I only know my mind
I am mine

And the feeling it gets left behind
All the innocence lost at one time
Significance between the eyes
There's no need to hide
We're safe tonight

And no feeling that gets left behind
All the innocent lost among time
We are all different behind the eyes
There is no need to hide

And the feeling that gets left behind
All the innocence broken with lies
Yeah. We are all doomed behind the eyes
They're saying to hide
Yeah, yeah yeah

1020. Today - The Smashing Pumpkins



Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't live for tomorrow
Tomorrow's much too long
I'll burn my eyes out
Before I get out

I wanted more
Than life could ever grant me
Bored by the chore
Of saving face

Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't wait for tomorrow
I might not have that long
I'll tear my heart out
Before I get out

Pink ribbon scars
That never forget
I tried so hard
To cleanse these regrets
My angel wings
Were bruised and restrained
My belly stings

Today is
Today is
Today is
The greatest day

I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you

Today is the greatest
Today is the greatest day
Today is the greatest day
That I have ever really known
