1265. Ten million slaves - Otis Taylor



Rain and fire crossed that ocean
Another mad man done struck again
Rain and fire crossed that ocean
Another mad man done struck again

Sitting down here fallout shelter
Paint my walls, twice a week
Sitting down here fallout shelter
Think about the slaves, long time ago

Ten million slaves crossed that ocean
They had shackles on their legs
Ten million slaves crossed that ocean
They had shackles on their legs

Don't know where, where they're going
Don't know where, where they've been
Don't know where, where they're going
Don't know where, where they've been

Sun goes out, you'll be standing
You'll be standing by yourself
Sun goes out, you'll be standing
You'll be standing by yourself

Ten million slaves crossed that ocean
They had shackles on their legs
Ten million slaves crossed that ocean
They had shackles on their legs

Don't know where, where they're going
Don't know where, where they've been
Don't know where, where they're going
Don't know where, where they've been

Ten million slaves crossed that ocean
They had shackles on their legs
Food goes bad, food looks rancid
But they ate it anyway

Don't know where, where they're going
Don't know where, where they've been
Don't know where, where they're going
Don't know where, where they've been

Sun goes out, you'll be standing
You'll be standing all alone
Sun goes out, you'll be standing
You'll be standing all alone
All alone, all alone, all alone, all alone, all alone

1264. Ragged wood - Fleet Foxes





Come down from the mountain, you have been gone too long
The spring is upon us, follow my only song
Settle down with me by the fire of my yearning
You should come back home, back on your own now

The world is alive now, in and outside our home
You run through the forest, settle before the sun
Darling, I can barely remember you beside me
You should come back home, back on your own now

You should come back home, back on your own now

In the evening light, when the woman of the woods came by
To give to you the word of the old man
In the morning tide, when the sparrow and the seagull fly
And Johnathan and Evelyn get tied

Lie to me if you will
At the top of Beringer Hill
Tell me anything you want
Any old lie will do
Call me back to you

Back to you

Lie to me if you will
At the top of Beringer Hill
Tell me anything you want
Any old lie will do
Call me back to you
Back to you
Back to you
Back to you
Back to you
Back to you

1263. Step into my office baby - Belle & Sebastian



She called me up today
Meet me down at the old cafe
I jumped into the shower
I was getting my marching orders

We need to talk
Step into my office, baby
I want to give you the job
A chance of overtime
Say, my place at nine?

She'd never stand for any lies
She's got an Out Tray full of guys
I could sense a breath, a whole new feeling
Now she says she wants to call a meeting

We need to talk
Step into my office, baby
I want to give you the job
A chance of overtime
Say, my place at nine?

I'm a slave to work
I'm only living when I walk amongst the office staff
And catch up with the office wag
I'll be in bed by nine
My curtains drawn
My thoughts composed
I get to work on time

She gave me some dictation
But my strength is in administration
I took down all she said
I even took down her little red dress

We need to talk
Step into my office, baby
I'm want to give you the job
I'm pushing for a raise
I've been pushing now for days

My output is in decline
I was burned out after Thatcher
My banner I laid down with a sigh
Now I doubt if I'll ever catch her

I've got to change my ways
Dress for business every day
A sharp suit and a kipper tie
A big arrow pointing to my fly

Have you shaved for work yet baby
Don't go out the boss is waiting

We need to talk
Step into my office, baby
I want to give you the job
A chance of overtime
Say, my place at nine?

1262. When you die - MGMT



I’m not that nice
I’m mean and I’m evil
Don’t call me nice
I’m gonna eat your heart out
I’ve got some work to do
Baby, I'm ready, I'm ready, ready, ready to blow my lid off

Yeah

Go fuck yourself
You heard me right
Don’t call me nice again
Don’t you have somewhere to be at seven thirty?
Baby, I’m ready, I'm ready, ready, ready to blow my brains out

You die
And words won’t do anything
It's permanently night
And I won’t feel anything
We'll all be laughing with you when you die

Words won’t do anything
It's permanently night
And I won’t feel anything
We'll all be laughing with you when you die

Go fuck yourself
I’m mean, not nice
You said it twice
You said it twice
Don’t you have somewhere to be at seven thirty?

I’ve got some work to do
I’m gonna eat your heart out
I heard you the first time

1261. Brianstorm - Arctic Monkeys



Brian
Top marks for not trying
So kind of you to bless us
With your effortlessness
We're grateful, so strangely comforted

And I wonder
Are you putting us under
'Cause we can't take our eyes
Off the t-shirt and ties combination?
Well, see you later, innovator

Some want to kiss, some want to kick you
There's not a net you couldn't slip through
Or at least that's the impression I get
'Cause you're smooth, and you're wet
And she's not aware yet
But she's yours

She'll be saying, use me
Show me the jacuzzi
I imagine that it's there, on a plate
You're whole rendezvous rate
Means that you'll never be frightened
To make them wait for a while
I doubt it's your style
Not to get what you set
Out to acquire the eyes are on fire
You are the unforecasted storm
Hup

Calm, collected and commanding
(Top marks for not trying)
You leave the other stories standing
With your renditions and jokes
Bet there's hundreds of blokes
That have wept 'cause you've stolen their

Thunder
Are you putting us under
'Cause we can't take our eyes
Off the t-shirt and ties combination

Well, see you later, innovator

1260. Junk of the heart (happy) - The Kooks





Junk of the heart is junk of my mind
So hard to leave you all alone
We get so drunk that we can hardly see
What used to that, but you aren't me baby
See I notice nothing makes you shatter no no
You're a lover of the wild and a joker of the heart
But are you mine?

I wanna make you happy, I wanna make you feel alive
Let me make you happy
I wanna make you feel alive at night
I wanna make you happy
If you're a good girl tonight
Yeah

A ship to be sunk, life is no race
When I'm not happy I'm in disgrace
So I spend time with pissing on you oh
You're a lover of the wild and a joker of the heart
But are you mine?

I wanna make you happy
I wanna make you feel alive
Let me make you happy
I wanna make you feel alive at night
I wanna make you happy
If you're a good girl tonight
Yeah

Still I notice nothing makes you shatter no no
You're a lover of the wild and a joker of the heart
But are you mine?
I wanna make you happy, I wanna make you feel alive
Let me make you happy, I wanna make you feel alive at night
I wanna make you happy
If you're a good girl tonight

1259. Always where I need to be - The Kooks



She don't know who she is
Oh I can't take her anywhere
Do whatever comes naturally to you
You know she just don't care
You know she just don't care

'Cause I'm always where I need to be
And I always thought
I would end up with you, eventually
Do dodo do do do do
Do dodo do do do do
Do dodo do do

Now I see her again
I ask to be her hummingbird
Whisper words in her ear
Oh now you know I just don't care

'Cause I'm always where I need to be
And I always thought
I would end up with you, eventually
Do dodo do do do do
Do dodo do do do do
Do dodo do do

I'm a man, I'm a man I'm a man on the scene
I'm a man, and I can be so obscene
Because I always think that I know how to be
But I always thought I would end up with you, eventually
Do dodo do do do do
Do dodo do do do do
Do dodo do do
I'm a man, I'm a man I'm a man on the scene
I'm a man, and I can be so obscene
