966. Nevermind - Leonard Cohen
The war was lost
The treaty signed
I was not caught
I crossed the line
I was not caught
Though many tried
I live among you
Well disguised
I had to leave
My life behind
I dug some graves
You’ll never find
The story’s told
With facts and lies
I had a name
But never mind
Never mind
Never mind
The war was lost
The treaty signed
There’s truth that lives
And truth that dies
I don’t know which
So never mind
Your victory
Was so complete
That some among you
Thought to keep
A record of
Our little lives
The clothes we wore
Our spoons our knives
The games of luck
Our soldiers played
The stones we cut
The songs we made
Our law of peace
Which understands
A husband leads
A wife commands
And all of this
Expressions of
The Sweet Indifference
Some call Love
The High Indifference
Some call Fate
But we had Names
More intimate
Names so deep and
Names so true
They’re blood to me
They’re dust to you
There is no need
That this survive
There’s truth that lives
And truth that dies
Never mind
Never mind
I live the life
I left behind
There’s truth that lives...
I could not kill
The way you kill
I could not hate
I tried I failed
You turned me in
At least you tried
You side with them
Whom you despise
This was your heart
This swarm of flies
This was once your mouth
This bowl of lies
You serve them well
I’m not surprised
You’re of their kin
You’re of their kind
Never mind
Never mind
The story’s told
With facts and lies
You own the world
So never mind
Never mind
Never mind
I live the life
I left behind
I live it full
I live it wide
Through layers of time
You can’t divide
My woman’s here
My children too
Their graves are safe
From ghosts like you
In places deep
With roots entwined
I live the life I left behind

965. Team - Lorde
Wait 'til you're announced
We've not yet lost all our graces
The hounds will stay in chains
Look upon your greatness and she'll send the call out
Send the call out
Call all the ladies out, they're in their finery
A hundred jewels on throats
A hundred jewels between teeth
Now bring my boys in, their skin in craters like the moon
The moon we love like a brother, while he glows through the room
Dancin' around the lies we tell
Dancin' around big eyes as well
Even the comatose, they don't dance and tell
We live in cities you'll never see onscreen
Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things
Livin' in ruins of a palace within my dreams
And you know we're on each other's team
I'm kind of over gettin' told to throw my hands up in the air
So there
So all the cups got broke
Shards beneath our feet
But it wasn't my fault
And everyone's competing for a love they won't receive
Cause what this palace wants is release
We live in cities you'll never see onscreen
Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things
Livin' in ruins of a palace within my dreams
And you know we're on each other's team
I'm kind of over gettin' told to throw my hands up in the air
So there
I'm kind of older than I was when I reveled without a care
So there
We live in cities you'll never see onscreen
Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things
Livin' in ruins of a palace within my dreams
And you know we're on each other's team
We're on each other's team
And you know we're on each other's team
We're on each other's team
And you know and you know and you know

964. Dimming light - Tennis
Silently you slip through the way
Graceful, you move beneath the living room
I know it's you
A vision I held in the night
Of rivers that run dry
Although you're lyin' next to me
I know that you're not mine
Is it even enough to know what you're lookin' for?
Is it ever enough to have what you're waitin' for? ah ah ah aah
When the night comes we will be restored
You're the one that I love
Silently you slip through the way
Graceful, you move beneath the living room
I know it's you
If I could fall on any phrase
Or hold a steady gaze
And maybe you'd appeared to me
Transparent as the day
Is it ever enough to know what you're lookin' for?
Is it ever enough to have what you're waitin' for? ah ah ah aah
When the night comes we will be restored
You're the one that I love (2x)
Oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (2x)

963. Shadowboxer - Fiona Apple
Once my lover, now my friend
What a cruel thing to pretend
What a cunning way to condescend
Once my lover, and now my friend
Oh, you creep up like the clouds
And you set my soul at ease
Then you let your love abound
And you bring me to my knees
Oh, its evil, babe
The way you let your grace enrapture me
When well you know I'd be insane
To ever let that dirty game recapture me
You made me a shadowboxer, baby
I wanna be ready for what you do
I been swinging around me
'Cause I don't know when you're gonna make your move
Oh, your gaze is dangerous
And you fill your space so sweet
If I let you get too close
You'll set your spell on me
So darlin', I just wanna say
Just in case I don't come through
I was on to every play
I just wanted you
But oh, it's so evil, my love
The way you've no reverence to my concern
So I'll be sure to stay wary of you, love
To save the pain of
Once my flame and twice my burn
So I'm a shadowboxer, baby
I wanna be ready for what you do
I been swinging around enough and
I don't know when you're gonna make your move
Yeah, I'm a shadowboxer, baby
I wanna be ready for what you do
And I been swinging around
Because I don't know when you'll make your move...

962. Amor afoito - Ana Moura
Dou-te o meu amor
Se mo souberes pedir, tonto
Não me venhas com truques, pára
Já te conheço bem demais
Dou-te o meu amor
Sem qualquer condição, por ora
Mas terás que provar que vales
Mais que o que já mostraste ser
Se me souberes cuidar
Já sei teu destino
Li ontem a sina
A sorte nos rirá, amor
Se quiseres arriscar
Não temas a vida
Amor, este fogo
Não devemos temer
Dou-te o meu amor
Em troca desse olhar doce
Não resisto e tu tão bem sabes
Tenho raiva de assim ser
Tudo em mim amor
É teu, podes tocar, não mordo
Sabes bem que não minto, tonto
Meu mal é ter verdade a mais

961. Yellow Flicker Beat - Lorde
I'm a princess cut from marble, smoother than a storm
And the scars that mark my body, they're silver and gold
My blood is a flood of rubies, precious stones
It keeps my veins hot, the fires find a home in me
I move through town, I'm quiet like a fire
And my necklace is of opal, I tie it and untie it
And our people talk to me, but nothing ever hits
So people talk to me, and all the voices just burn holes
I'm going in (ooh)
This is the start of how it all ever ends
They used to shout my name, now they whisper it
I'm speeding up and this is the
Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
We rip the start, the colors disappear
I never watch the stars there's so much down here
So I just try to keep up with them
Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
I dream all year, but they're not the same kinds
And the shivers move down my shoulder blades in double time
And now people talk to me I'm slipping out of reach now
People talk to me, and all their faces blur
But I got my fingers laced together and I made a little prison
And I'm locking up everyone that ever laid a finger on me
I'm going in (ooh)
This is the start of how it all ever ends
They used to shout my name, now they whisper it
I'm speeding up and this is the
Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
We rip the start, the colors disappear
I never watch the stars there's so much down here
So I just try to keep up with them
Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat
Sparking up my heart
And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat-beat-beat-beat

960. House of cards - Radiohead
I don't want to be your friend
I just want to be your lover
No matter how it ends
No matter how it starts
[Chorus]
Forget about your house of cards
And I'll do mine
Forget about your house of cards
And I'll do mine
Fall off the table,
Get swept under
Denial, denial
The infrastructure will collapse
Voltage spikes
Throw your keys in the bowl
Kiss your husband goodnight
[Chorus]
Fall off the table,
And get swept under
Denial, denial
Denial, denial
Your ears should be burning
Denial, denial
Your ears should be burning
Denial, denial
