1096. Sic of Elephants - Andrew Bird



You were right
Now we got good reason to worry
Your money made your eyesight all blurry
Now we’re making this a pacifist recalcitrant poses
Can’t you see how dangerous the one you chose is

Can’t you see how dangerous?
You’re too content to make a fuss
Can’t you see how dangerous
You’re too dangerous

And it brings us back to might makes right

So we learn from wars of the roses
The pain is only fear kneading your toeses
So you’re making haste despite your face to cut off your noses
You convince yourself and others these fists smell like roses

Can’t you see how dangerous?
When you’re too content to make a fuss
Can’t you see how dangerous?
Do you see how dangerous?

Squint your eyes and see how the phans sycophants elephants
Squint your eyes and see how the phans sycophants elephants
Squint your eyes and see red-faced rants pleated pants and sycophants
Squint your eyes and see
Squint your eyes and see

Oh, can’t you see how dangerous?
And it might come down to fight or flight

Can’t you see how dangerous?
You’re too content to make the fuss
Can’t you see how dangerous?
Can’t you see how dangerous?

Squint your eyes and see how the phans sycophants elephants
Squint your eyes and see how the phans sycophants elephants
Squint your eyes and see red-faced rants pleated pants
Sycophants elephants
Squint your eyes and see
Squint your eyes and see
Can’t you see how dangerous?
And it brings us back might makes right

1094. Is a woman - Lambchop





In the hour of the girl, you can make this danger witness
Or whatever, without your heart, you can wish you could relate
If it's always gonna be, sit beside me on a star
If you wake me up tonight

So you try to make it whole with everybody here
More than a Sony to make the words throw up
Or show me the way as they pick me up again
They will be there on the couch, they will make you better still
Can you be sure?

Of anything you make, maybe you can get a whiff
It's enough to make you gag, just enough to make you sick
Each and every day with the concrete and the masonry
When the paint that's on is dry, you can work it from your eye

And you take it from my heart, as you stand alone forever
From the roaming and the surf and the cloudy, cloudy day
Just a boss thing that is pure, and it's specially for you
It's like everybody's needing it and everyone is sure

And they say, is a woman, write this down
Put the paper over there
More than it is, no more than it is

Is a woman, write this down
Put the paper over there
More than it is, no more than it is

Is a woman, write this down
Put the paper over there
More than it is, no more than it is

Is a woman, write this down
Put the paper over there
More than it is, no more than it is

1093. Don't speak - No Doubt



You and me
We used to be together
Everyday together always
I really feel
That I'm losing my best friend
I can't believe
This could be the end
It looks as though you're letting go
And if it's real
Well I don't want to know

Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts

Our memories
Well, they can be inviting
But some are altogether
Mighty frightening
As we die, both you and I
With my head in my hands
I sit and cry

Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no)
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts

It's all ending
I gotta stop pretending who we are...
You and me I can see us dying...are we?

Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no)
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Don't tell me cause it hurts!
I know what you're saying
So please stop explaining

Don't speak,
don't speak,
don't speak,
oh I know what you're thinking
And I don't need your reasons
I know you're good,
I know you're good,
I know you're real good
Oh, la la la la la la La la la la la la
Don't, Don't, uh-huh Hush, hush darlin'
Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush
don't tell me tell me cause it hurts
Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush darlin'
Hush, hush don't tell me tell me cause it hurts

1091. Dosed - Red Hot Chili Peppers



I got dosed by you and
Closer than most to you and
What am I supposed to do
Take it away
I never had it anyway
Take it away
And everything will be okay

In you a star is born and
You cut a perfect form and
Someone forever warm
Lay on, lay on, lay on, lay on
Lay on, lay on, lay on, lay on

Way upon the mountain where she died
All I ever wanted was your life
Deep inside the canyon I can't hide
All I ever wanted was your life

Show love with no remorse and
Climb on to your seahorse and
This ride is right on course
This is the way
I wanted it to be with you
This is the way
I knew that it would be with you
Lay on, lay on, lay on, lay on
Lay on, lay on, lay on, lay on

Way upon the mountain where she died
All I ever wanted was your life
Deep inside the canyon I can't hide
All I ever wanted was your life

I got dosed by you and
Closer than most to you and
What am I supposed to do
Take it away
I never had it anyway
Take it away
And everything will be okay

Way upon the mountain where she died
All I ever wanted was your life
Deep inside the canyon I can't hide
All I ever wanted was your life

1089. Oceans - Pearl Jam



Hold on to the thread
The currents will shift
Glide me towards
You know something's left
And we're all allowed
To dream of the next
Oh, oh the next, time we touch

Uh huh, uh huh
Uh huh, uh huh

You don't have to stray
Tho oceans away
Waves roll in my thoughts
Hold tight the ring
The sea will rise
Please stand by the shore
Oh, oh, oh, I will be
I will be there once more

Uh huh, uh huh
Uh huh, uh huh
Uh huh, uh huh
Uh huh, uh huh
Uh huh, uh huh
