1088. Green disease - Pearl Jam



G-R-E-E-D..... G-R-E-E-D
It's a disease,... and they're all green
It emanates from their being
A satiation,.. with occupation

And like weeds,.. with big leaves
Stealing light from what's beneath
Where they have more,...
Still they take more

I know,.. then I don't
There's a stowaway with my throat
It's deceiving...
I don't believe him

We can scream,.. out our doors
Behind the wall a fat man snores
In his dreams he's
Choking Ti leaves

Well I guess
There's nothing wrong with what you say
But don't sell me
'There can't be better ways'

Tell the captain
'The boat's not safe
And we're drowning.'
Turns out
He's the one making waves...

I said
There's nothing wrong with what you say
Believe me
Just asking you to sway
No white
Or black
Just grey
Can you feel this
World with your heart and not your brain?

G-R-E-E-D..... G-R-E-E-D

1087. Get right - Pearl Jam





I want for to lay down, i'm waiting 'till sundown
I'm searching the haystacks, water is sunshine,
Wait for the moment
The moment between us, the fire is made now,
Harder to touch

I wanted to get right
I wanted to get right
I wanted to get right with you

Bakers dozen parades,
Stand and debate
Out single file, nine in a row, swear if you must
Keeping your boots on, float with the now,
Hot to the touch.
Concrete underground, cast out everyday,
Dregs of society
Underbelly, inside of me, rejoice and follow thee

I wanted to get right
I wanted to get right
I wanted to get right with it, with you

1086. Thumbing my way - Pearl Jam



I have not been home since you left long ago
I'm thumbing my way back to heaven
Counting steps, walking backwards on the road
I'm counting my way back to heaven
I can't be free with what's locked inside of me
If there was a key, you took it in your hand
There's no wrong or right, but I'm sure there's good and bad
The questions linger overhead
No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead
I'm thumbing my way back to heaven
I wish that I could hold you
I wish that I had
Thinking 'bout heaven
I let go of a rope, thinking that's what held me back
And in time I've realized, it's now wrapped around my neck
I can't see what's next, from this lonely overpass
Hang my head and count my steps, as another car goes past
All the rusted signs we ignore throughout our lives
Choosing the shiny ones instead
I turned my back, now there's no turning back
No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead
I smile, but who am I kidding?
I'm just walking the miles, every once in a while I'll get a ride
I'm thumbing my way back to heaven
Thumbing my way back to heaven
I'm thumbing my way back to heaven...

1085. Jealous lover - Adolph Deutsch

1084. You've got her in your pocket - The White Stripes





You've got her in your pocket
And there's no way out now
Put it in the safe and lock it
'Cause it's at home sweet home

Nobody ever told you that it was the wrong way
To trick a woman, make her feel she did it her way
And you'll be there if she ever feels blue
And you'll be there when she finds someone new
What to do
Well you know

You keep her in your pocket
Where there's no way out now
Put it in the safe and lock it
'Cause it's home sweet home

The smile on your face made her think she had the right one
Then she thought she was sure by the way you two could have fun

But now she might leave
Like she's threatened before
Grab hold of her fast
Before her feet leave the floor
And she's out the door
'Cause you want

To keep her in your pocket
Where there's no way out now
Put it in the safe and lock it
'Cause it's home sweet home

And in your own mind you know you're lucky just to know her
And in the beginning all you wanted was to show her

But now you're scared
You think she's running away
You search in your hand for something clever to say
Don't go away
'Cause I want

To keep you in my pocket
Where there's no way out now
Put it in the safe and lock it
'Cause it's home sweet home, home sweet home

1083. We're going to be friends - The White Stripes



Fall is here, hear the yell
back to school, ring the bell
brand new shoes, walking blues
climb the fence, books and pens
I can tell that we are gonna be friends
I can tell that we are gonna be friends

Walk with me, Suzy Lee
through the park and by the tree
we will rest upon the ground
and look at all the bugs we found
safely walk to school without a sound
safely walk to school without a sound

Here we are, no one else
we walked to school all by ourselves
there's dirt on our uniforms
from chasing all the ants and worms
we clean up and now it's time to learn
we clean up and now it's time to learn

Numbers, letters, learn to spell
nouns, and books, and show and tell
playtime we will throw the ball
back to class, through the hall
teacher marks our height against the wall
teacher marks our height against the wall

We don't notice any time pass
we don't notice anything
we sit side by side in every class
teacher thinks that I sound funny
but she likes the way you sing

Tonight I'll dream while I'm in bed
when silly thoughts go through my head
about the bugs and alphabet
and when I wake tomorrow I'll bet
that you and I will walk together again
I can tell that we are gonna be friends
Yes I can tell that we are gonna be friends.

1082. Fountain of youth - Local Natives





I think we better listen to these kids
We can't keep pretending we know what we're doing
I can't keep pretending I'm afraid
If you'll sit and listen
I'll tell you a secret

We can do whatever we want
We can say whatever we mean

I have waited so long, Mrs. President
Matriarchs and Teddy Boys, play in houses on the lake
How can we quit drugs if you're gonna watch like that?
Give me five good reasons you trust us with our future

We can do whatever we want
We can say whatever we mean
And if we don't care
Then who cares?
We've been dreaming of you
Drinking from fountains of youth
And if we don't change
Then who will change?
We've been dreaming of you
Drinking from fountains of youth

I think we better listen to these kids
I can't keep pretending that I'm still asleep
I can't keep pretending I'm afraid
I was too stoned to call you but I thought that you'd say

We can do whatever we want
We can say whatever we mean
And if we don't care
Then who cares?
We've been dreaming of you
Drinking from fountains of youth
And if we don't change
Then who will change?
We've been dreaming of you
Drinking from fountains of youth

We can do whatever we want
We can say whatever we mean
We can do whatever we want
We can say whatever we mean

1081. Hold up - Beyoncé





Hold up, they don't love you like I love you
Slow down, they don't love you like I love you
Back up, they don't love you like I love you
Step down, they don't love you like I love you
Can't you see there's no other man above you?
What a wicked way to treat the girl that loves you
Hold up, they don't love you like I love you
Oh, down, they don't love you like I love you

Something don't feel right
Because it ain't right
Especially comin' up after midnight
I smell your secret, and I'm not too perfect
To ever feel this worthless
How did it come down to this?
Scrolling through your call list
I don't wanna lose my pride, but I'm a fuck me up a bitch
Know that I kept it sexy, and know I kept it fun
There's something that I'm missing, maybe my head for one

What's worse, lookin' jealous or crazy, jealous or crazy?
Or like being walked all over lately, walked all over lately
I'd rather be crazy

Hold up, they don't love you like I love you
Slow down, they don't love you like I love you
Back up, they don't love you like I love you
Step down, they don't love you like I love you
Can't you see there's no other man above you?
What a wicked way to treat the girl that loves you
Hold up, they don't love you like I love you
Slow down, they don't love you like I love you

Let's imagine for a moment that you never made a name for yourself
Or mastered wealth, they had you labeled as a king
Never made it out the cage, still out there movin' in them streets
Never had the baddest woman in the game up in your sheets
Would they be down to ride?
No, they used to hide from you, lie to you
But y'all know we were made for each other
So I find you and hold you down
Me sing say

Hold up, they don't love you like I love you
Slow down, they don't love you like I love you
Back up, they don't love you like I love you
Step down, they don't love you like I love you
Can't you see there's no other man above you?
What a wicked way to treat the girl that loves you
Hold up, they don't love you like I love you
Slow down, they don't love you like I love you

Oh it is such a shame
You let this good love go to waste
I always keep the top tier, 5 star
Backseat lovin' in the car
Like make that wood, like make that wood
Holly like a boulevard

What's worse, lookin' jealous or crazy, jealous or crazy?
Or like being walked all over lately, walked all over lately
I'd rather be crazy

Hold up, they don't love you like I love you
Slow down, they don't love you like I love you
Back up, they don't love you like I love you
Step down, they don't love you like I love you
Can't you see there's no other man above you?
What a wicked way to treat the girl that loves you
Hold up, they don't love you like I love you
Oh, down, they don't love you like I love you

I hop up out the bed and get my swag on
I look in the mirror, say, "What's up?"
What's up, what's up, what's up
I hop up out the bed and get my swag on
I look in the mirror, say, "What's up?"
What's up, what's up, what's up

1080. Don't let me down - The Beatles



Don't let me down, don't let me down
Don't let me down, don't let me down

Nobody ever loved me like she does
Oh, she does, yeah, she does
And if somebody loved me like she do me
Oh, she do me, yes, she does

Don't let me down, don't let me down
Don't let me down, don't let me down

I'm in love for the first time
Don't you know it's gonna last
It's a love that lasts forever
It's a love that had no past (Seeking past)

Don't let me down, don't let me down
Don't let me down, don't let me down

And from the first time that she really done me
Oh, she done me, she done me good
I guess nobody ever really done me
Oh, she done me, she done me good

Don't let me down, hey don't let me down
Heeeee, don't let me down

Don't let me down
Don't let me down, don't let me let down
Can you dig it? Don't let me down

1079. Aeroplane - Red Hot Chili Peppers



I like pleasure spiked with pain
And music is my aeroplane
It's my aeroplane
Songbird sweet and sour Jane
And music is my aeroplane
It's my aeroplane
Pleasure spiked with pain
That motherfucker's always spiked with pain

Looking in my own eyes (hey lord)
I can't find the love I want
Someone better slap me
Before I start to rust
Before I start to decompose
Looking in my rearview mirror
Looking in my rearview mirror
I can make it disappear
I can make it disappear
Have no fear

I like pleasure spiked with pain
And music is my aeroplane
It's my aeroplane
Songbird sweet and sour Jane
And music is my aeroplane
It's my aeroplane
Pleasure spiked with pain
That motherfucker's always spiked with pain

Sitting in my kitchen
Hey girl, I'm turning into dust again
My melancholy baby
The star of mazzy must
Push her voice inside of me
I'm overcoming gravity
I'm overcoming gravity
It's easy when you're sad to be
It's easy when you're sad, sad like me

I like pleasure spiked with pain
And music is my aeroplane
It's my aeroplane
Songbird sweet and sour Jane
And music is my aeroplane
It's my aeroplane
Pleasure spiked with pain

Just one note
Could make me float
Could make me float away
One note from the song she wrote
Could fuck me where I lay
Just one note
Could make me choke
One note that's not a lie
Just one note
Could cut my throat
One note could make me die

I like pleasure spiked with pain
And music is my aeroplane
It's my aeroplane
Songbird sweet and sour Jane
And music is my aeroplane
It's my aeroplane
That's spiked with pain

It's my aeroplane
It's my aeroplane

1078. Otherside - Red Hot Chili Peppers



How long how long will I slide
Separate my side I don't
I don't believe it's bad
Slit my throat
It's all I ever

I heard your voice through a photograph
I thought it up it brought up the past
Once you know you can never go back
I've got to take it on the otherside

Centuries are what it meant to me
A cemetery where I marry the sea
Stranger things could never change my mind
I've got to take it on the otherside
Take it on the otherside
Take it on
Take it on

[Chorus:]
How long how long will I slide
Separate my side I don't
I don't believe it's bad
Slit my throat
It's all I ever

Pour my life into a paper cup
The ashtray's full and I'm spillin' my guts
She wants to know am I still a slut
I've got to take it on the otherside

Scarlet starlet and she's in my bed
A candidate for my soul mate bled
Push the trigger and pull the thread
I've got to take it on the otherside
Take it on the otherside
Take it on
Take it on

[Chorus:]
How long how long will I slide
Separate my side I don't
I don't believe it's bad
Slit my throat
It's all I ever

Turn me on take me for a hard ride
Burn me out leave me on the otherside
I yell and tell it that
It's not my friend
I tear it down I tear it down
And then it's born again

[Chorus:]
How long how long will I slide
Separate my side I don't
I don't believe it's bad
Slit my throat
It's all I ever

How long I don't believe it's bad
Slit my throat
It's all I ever

1077. Colombia - Local Natives



The day after I had counted down all of your breaths down until
There were none, were none, were none, were none;
A hummingbird crashed right in front of me and I understood all you did for us.
You gave, and gave, and gave, and gave.

Ohhh, every night I ask myself
Am I giving enough? [x3]
Am I?

If you never knew how much,
If you never felt all of my love.
I pray now you do, you do, you do, you do.

Ohhh, every night I ask myself
Am I loving enough? [x3]
Am I?

Patricia, every night I'll ask myself
Am I giving enough? [x3]
Am I?

1076. Solta-se o beijo - Ala dos namorados



Espreito por uma porta encostada
Sigo as pegadas de luz
Peço ao gato "xiu" para não me denunciar

Toca o relógio sem cuco
Dá horas à cusquice das vizinhas e eu
Confesso às paredes de quem gosto
Elas conhecem-te bem

Aconchego-me nesta cumplicidade
Deixo-me ir nos trilhos traçados
Pela saudade de te encontrar
Ainda onde te deixei

Trago-te o beijo prometido
Sei o teu cheiro mergulho no teu tocar
Abraças a guitarra e voas para além da lua

Amarro o beijo que se quer soltar
Espero que me sintas para me entregar
A cadeira, as costas, o cabelo e a cigarrilha
A dança do teu ombro...

E nesse instante em que o silêncio
É o bater do coração
Fecha-se a porta
Pára o relógio
As vizinhas recolhem
Tu olhas-me...
Tu olhas-me...
Trago-te o beijo prometido
Sei o teu cheiro, mergulho no teu tocar
Abraças a guitarra e voas para além da lua

Amarro o beijo que se quer soltar
Espero que me sintas para me entregar
A cadeira, as costas, o cabelo e a cigarrilha
A dança do teu ombro...

E, nesse instante em que o silêncio
É o bater do coração
Fecha-se a porta
Pára o relógio
As vizinhas recolhem

Solta-se o beijo, o gato mia...
Solta-se o beijo, o gato mia...
Solta-se o beijo, o gato mia...

Tu olhas-me...
Tu olhas-me...
Solta-se o beijo, o gato mia...
Solta-se o beijo, o gato mia...
Solta-se o beijo, o gato mia...

Espreito por uma porta encostada
Sigo as pegadas de luz
Peço ao gato "xiu" para não me denunciar

1075. Flight attendant - Josh Rouse



When I was
A little baby
A mamma's boy
No one could save me
From those kids at school

They would bully
They would tease
They would taunt me
Haunt me

You're such a pretty boy
You're such a pretty boy
You're such a pretty boy
You're such a pretty boy

Fear
I grew up so scared
The bible belt
Redneck lifestyle
One day I'll fly free

In the airplane
Where's my seat?
Where's my champagne?
Champagne

I'm such a pretty boy
I'm such a pretty boy
I'm such a pretty boy
I'm such a pretty boy

Heaven knows the lengths I go to please them every day
And they don't even notice when I'm
Down

Such a pretty boy
Such a pretty boy
Such a pretty boy
Such a pretty boy

Such a pretty boy
Such a pretty boy
Such a pretty boy
Such a pretty boy

Hotels were closed
And the airport was clean
He was stranded alone
In his southwest dream

Hotels were closed
And the airport was clean
I was stranded alone
In my southwest dream

1074. Tuyo - Rodrigo Amarante



Soy el fuego que arde tu piel
soy el agua que mata tu sed
el castillo, la torre yo soy
la espada que guarda el caudal
tu el aire que respiro yo
y la luz de la luna en el mar
la garganta que ansío mojar
que temo ahogar de amor

y cuales deseos me vas a dar?
dices tu mi tesoro
basta con mirarlo
y tuyo será
y tuyo será
y tuyo será.


ENGLISH TRANSLATION

I’m the fire that burns your skin
I’m the water that quenches your thirst
the castle, the tower, I am
the sword that guards the fortune
You, the air that I breathe
and the light of the moon
over the sea
the throat that urge to drench
that I fear to drown
with love

and what wishes will you grant me?
you tell me my treasure,
all you have to do is look at it
and it’ll be yours
and it’ll be yours
it’ll be yours

1073. Boston - Vampire Weekend



Chestnut Park on a Saturday night
Mystical boys feelin' alright
Raggedy wisdom falls from my hand
The ladies of Cambridge know who I am

I've held dreams of Boston all of my life
Chinatown between the sound of the night
But if you leave I just don't think I could take it
Take it
Take it
Take it

Graveyard freaks, we're fallin' in style
Lady's the pharaoh, Charles's the Nile
That's a museum, that's a cool place
Stones of your fathers standin' today

I've held dreams of Boston all of my life
Chinatown between the sound of the night
But if you leave I just don't think I could take it
Take it
Take it
Take it

I've held dreams of Boston all of my life
Chinatown between the sound of the night
Cause when you left my room
To go to the kitchen
I imagined that you were dead
A morbid streak runs through
The whole of my family
But for you I could put it to rest

But if you leave I just don't think I could take it
Take it
Take it
Take it

1072. The new cobweb summer - Lambchop





Last thought that you think today
Has already happened
The link between profound and pain
Covers you like Sherwin Williams

Smokey Joe is broken
Drops into your lap
And the big red wasp
Makes a scan through my black pages

Last night, our boy was out there
Burning up his matches
Saw him in the afternoon
Sporting a black eye

The universal man
With a pistol or a bottle
Types with confidence
As we grow out of our bruises

Once I had a friend
Who had the knack of tossing
His mind around geography
Boy, you think, you have problems

The hunter is asleep
At least that's what I call him
In the afternoon of
The new cobweb summer

Thursday 8 September 2016

1071. My blue wave - Lambchop



You lay around the house
Nothing much to bark about, jump onto the bed
Just bones and squirrels inside your head
This is the only life I see for you

And if I gave a crap that showed you where my head is at
I would ride the moon and even if it comes too soon
I could fall for you and you could fall for me

So we go all to the shows
And happiness is all we know
How it got to you and how it got to me too
I wish I never knew about my blue wave

And William called and tried to tell me
That his sister's boyfriend has just died
He's not sure what to do
And I'm not sure what to tell him he should do
Sometimes William, we're just screwed in my blue wave

So what's the girl to do, sits on the couch
And she's feeling blue
Shakes it in the cup and she doesn't mind if it stays up
Up, up, oh yeah, never mind the world, my blue girl

And the best is yet to come
You may think you are the only one
To never get it right just stick around on this lovely lovely night
And we may be amazed by my blue wave

To conclude this interview
Many facts and fictions you construe
The dog gives you the paw
And you pat his head and you wipe his jaw
He's the only one who knew about my blue wave
My blue wave, my blue wave

1070. Let down - Radiohead





Transport, motorways and tramlines
Starting and then stopping
Taking off and landing
The emptiest of feelings
Disappointed people clinging on to bottles
And when it comes it's so so disappointing

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around

Shell smashed, juices flowing
Wings twitch, legs are going
Don't get sentimental
It always ends up drivel

One day I'm going to grow wings
A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useless
Hysterical and ...

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around

Let down again
Let down again
Let down again

You know, you know where you are with
You know where you are with
Floor collapsing
Floating, bouncing back
And one day....
I am going to grow wings
A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useless
Hysterical and...

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around

1069. Grievance - Pearl Jam



have a drink they're buying
bottom of, bottle of denial
big guy, big eye, watchin me
have to wonder what it sees
(sin...)
progress laced with ramifications
freedom's big plunge

pull the innocent from a crowd
raise the sticks then bring em down
if they fail to obey
oh if they fail to obey

for every tool they lend us
a loss of independence
i pledge my grievance to the flag
cause you don't give blood then take it back again
oh we're all deserving something more
progress, taste it, invest-it-all
champagne breakfast for everyone

break the innocent when they're proud
raise the stakes then bring em down
if they fail to obey
oh if they fail to obey

pledge your grievance to the flag
aw c'mon, don't give blood then take it back again
oh we're all deserving something more
(have a, have a, drink, drink...)
(have a, have a, drink, drink...)

i want to breathe
follow the scene
i want to taste
everyone i see
i want to run when i'm up high
i want to run into the sea
i only want life to be...
i just want to be...
i will feel alive as long as i am free...


Vedder (Aug. 2000):
"I think technology went wrong somewhere. It just went into the wrong direction. Instead of helping us and freeing us, it seems to enslave us. That's what I talk about in "Grievance", about the dangers and what a lot of people don't see or don't want to see. There's the line, "For every tool they lend us a loss of independence" and it's true. Everything happens so fast. The technology is supposed to make everything simple, easy. It tries to make us believe that it's some sort of freedom we have. Of course, it's easy and comfortable if you can do all your shopping via the internet, if you don't need to leave the house to do anything. But, on the other hand, what is going to happen? You lose touch with people. You don't meet new people except on the internet and whatever you do can be traced. They know everything about you; they know what you buy; they know which papers you read, how long you stay on a page and they look at your statistics and they're going to offer you the products they think you might buy – most of them you don't really need anyway. What is going to happen to individuality?"

1068. Don't tell your friends about me - Blake Mills



The older I am, the wiser I'm not
And I felt ashamed of how angry I got
I know I was not getting my message across
I know you can't stand it when that's how I talk
When I summon a duel or when I brandish a thought
I was wrong to turn honesty against you
And sure, some of them could use a good talk

But babe, don't tell all our friends about me
Please, baby, don't tell our friends about me

I could sleep on the couch if you want me to
Or I can be a good dog and just sit with you
Do whatever it is that you ask me to do
'Til you forgive me and I forgive you
Yeah, I know you got the beating but I caught a feeling
Frankly, I don't know what else I can confess to you
Lovers may quarrel and spar sometimes,

But babe, don't tell all our friends about me
Please, baby, don't tell our friends about me

I know I fucked up, I know I fucked up,
I know I fucked up, I know I fucked up,
I know I fucked up, I know I fucked up,
I know I fucked up, I know I fucked up,
But please, baby, don't tell all our friends about me

You said you just needed some time to adjust
It's been 48 hours and 3 weeks and 2 months
Hummingbirds hum and workerbees buzz
You put too much confidence in the people you trust
All the enemies and friends, they'll all tend to judge
And I'll write songs that'll help me deal with issues,
And sure, some people may hear too much

But babe, they don't tell all our friends about us
You know it makes them talk too much
So please, baby, don't tell our friends about me
(All your friends aren't my friends anymore)
Please, baby, don't tell our friends about me

Yes, I know I fucked up, I know I fucked up,
I know I fucked up, I know I fucked up,
I know I fucked up, I know I fucked up,
I know I fucked up, I know I fucked up,
But please, baby, don't tell all our friends about me

1067. True affection - Father John Misty



When can we talk
With the face
Instead of using all these strange devices?
Seems like
You and I
Need to have a crazy conversation
Wouldn't be that hard
Get along so well
Sentence by sentence
It's a trial run
Let me show you how
Figure I can give you true affection

True affection
True affection
True affection
True affection

When can we talk
With the face
Instead of using all these strange devices?
Seems like
You and I
Need to have a crazy conversation

When can we talk
With the face?
Figure I can give you true affection

1066. Only for you - Heartless Bastards



Been a while since I felt this way about someone,
I'd really really like to know you, more,
Oh oh, know you, more

Oh, your eyes, they sing a song to me,
I'd really really like to go to it, oh, go, oh

And I will oh, open my heart
And I will oh, only for you

All your lies are spinning round my head
And all, all this line of sorrow, ooh, yeah ooooh, yeah
All your lies are spinning round my head
And all, all this line of sorrow, ooh, yeah ooooh

And I will, I I ohh, ohh
And I will, oh, only for you

And I just don't know what to do, my head has such a cloudy view,
I'm so tired, of trying, ooh ooh ooh
And I just don't know what to do, my head has such a cloudy view,
I'm so tired, of trying, ooh ooh ooh

All your lies are spinning round my head
And all, all this line of sorrow, ooh, yeah ooooh ooh, yeah
All your lies are spinning round my head
And all, all this line of sorrow, ooh, yeah ooooh, ooh

And I will open my heart
And I will oh, only for you

1065. A 1000 Times - Hamilton Leithauser + Rostam



I had a dream that you were mine
I’ve had that dream a thousand times
A thousand times, a thousand times
I’ve had that dream a thousand times

I left my room, on the west side
I walked from noon, until the night
I changed my crowd, I ditched my tie
I watched the sparks, fly off the fire

I found your house, I didn’t even try
They’d closed the shutters , they’d pulled the blinds
My eyes were red, the streets were bright
Those ancient years, were black and white

The 10th of November, the Years almost over
If I had your number, I’d call you tomorrow
If my eyes were open, I’d be kicking the doors in
But all that I have is this old dream I’ve always had

A thousand times, a thousand times
I’ve had that dream a thousand times
A thousand times, a thousand times
I’ve had that dream a thousand times

I left my room, on the west side
I walked from noon, until the night
I changed my crowd, I ditched my tie
I watched the sparks, fly off the fire

I found your old house, I didn’t even try
They’d closed the shutters, they’d pulled the blinds
My eyes were red, the streets were bright
Those ancient years, were black and white

I had a dream that you were mine
I’ve had that dream a thousand times

But I don’t answer questions, I just keep on guessing
My eyes are still open, the curtains are closing
And all that I have is this old dream I must have had.

A thousand times, a thousand times
I’ve had that dream a thousand times
A thousand times, a thousand times
I’ve had that dream a thousand times

A thousand times, a thousand times
I’ve had that dream a thousand times
A thousand times, a thousand times
I’ve had that dream a thousand times

1064. Trying to be cool - Phoenix



City and desert coexist
Depending on the things you're wearing
Wildlife binoculars
Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you want me

They teach you suffer to resist
Too much intention, presbyterian
Mint julep testosterone
Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you want me

Cool
I'm just trying to be cool
It's all because of you
Some fanatic attitude
We're both on

Open for business says it all you can't go wrong
Is innocent too immature where you're from?
Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you want it all

Two dozen pink and white ranunculus
Why? What are the problems to solve?
To part time holy bachelors
Tell them that you want me
Tell them that you want me

Cool
I'm just trying to be cool
It's all because of you
Some fanatic attitude
We're both on

Open for business says it all you can't go wrong
Compliments sound too cynical where you're from
Tell me that you want me
Tell me what they want is

Gruesome,
I don't care where you're from
Nothing's that personal
There is no physical evidence of cannibal boyfriend

Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you want it all
Why don't you tell me that you want me?
Tell me that you want it all
