334. Ready to start - Arcade Fire
If the businessmen drink my blood
Like the kids in art school said they would
The I guess I'll just begin again
You say:"Can we still be friends?"
If I was scared, I would
And if I was bored, you know I would
And if I was yours
But I'm not
All the kids have always known
That the emperor wears no clothes
But they bow down to him anyway
'Cause it's better than being alone
If I was scared, I would
And if I was bored, you know I would
And if I was yours
But I'm not
Now you're knocking at my door
Saying: "Please come out with us tonight!"
But I would rather be alone
Than pretend I feel alright
If the businessmen drink my blood
Like the kids in art school said they would
Then I guess I'll just begin again
You say:"Can we still be friends?"
If I was scared, I would
And if I was pure, you know I would
And if I was yours
But I'm not
Now I'm ready to start
Now I'm ready to start
I would rather be wrong
Than live in the shadows of your song
My mind is open wide
And now I'm ready to start
Now I'm ready to start
My mind is open wide
And now I'm ready to start
You're not sure, you open the door
And step out into the dark
Now I'm ready

333. Oh Time / Where is my love - Cat Power
the beat goes on, goes thunk, thunk, thunk
i gotta go after this one
drives me mad if i'm too cluttered
when the boy became a man
i knew his hand would trade to others
he told me to do as he said
and then he sold me as if i was stuffed and dead
Oh time, great healer
rode a boat low and steady
the (?) girl is armed and ready for the race
how could i compare how could i have dared
she knows not the brazilian ocean gate
she knows not what the horseback forest raved
she knows not the length of your hair in my hands
she knows not what the wet of your face has meant
a ticket to atlanta family knows another now
a ticket from atlanta family knows and others shot down
you win,
i'll give in,
i forgive you
Oh time, great healer
**********************
Where is my love
Where is my love
Horses galloping
Bring him to me
Where is my love
Where is my love
Horses running free
Carrying you and me
Where is my love
Where is my love
Safe and warm
So close to me
In my arms
Finally
There is my love
There is my love
Horses galloping
Bringing him to me
Where is my love
Where is your love
332. It's allright to fail - Cat Power
Out on the corner you look so pale
Your ghost is wandering home
But oh, baby, it's alright to fail
Your tongue is twisted
Your teeth are nails
They drove your voice in your throat
But oh, baby, it's alright to fail
Tell me, don't leave
Tell me, tell me
Your heart is beating
I hear it pound
If you've got something to say
Oh, baby, please don't let me down
Tell me, don't leave
Tell me, tell me
The night is coming
I hear the wail of people crying alone
But oh, baby, it's alright to fail
Oh, baby, it's alright to fail
331. Everyday is a winding road - Sheryl Crow
I hitched a ride with a vending machine repair man
He says he's been down this road more than twice
He was high on intellectualism
I've never been there but the brochure looks nice
Jump in, let's go
Lay back, enjoy the show
Everybody gets high, everybody gets low,
These are the days when anything goes
[Chorus]
Everyday is a winding road
I get a little bit closer
Everyday is a faded sign
I get a little bit closer to feeling fine
He's got a daughter he calls Easter
She was born on a Tuesday night
I'm just wondering why I feel so all alone
Why I'm a stranger in my own life
Jump in, let's go
Lay back, enjoy the show
Everybody gets high, everybody gets low
These are the days when anything goes
[Chorus]
I've been swimming in a sea of anarchy
I've been living on coffee and nicotine
I've been wondering if all the things I've seen
Were ever real, were ever really happening
[Chorus]
330. A minor place - Bonnie 'Prince' Billy
I've been to a minor place
and I can say I like its face
if I am gone and with no trace
I will be in a minor place
well I put the shoes in line
separate the women mine
as we do what we do fine
so victorious, so benign
chorus
only take the weather warm
and the job that does me harm
the scars of last year's storm
rest like maggots on my arm
chorus
thank you man if for the thought
that all my loving can be bought
was wisely in your gullet caught
before my loyalty you sought
chorus
o it's not a desert nor a web
nor a tomb where I lay dead
minor in a sound alone
yes a clear commanding tone
singing from my little point
and aching in my every joint
I thank the world it will anoint me
if I show it how I hold it
329. I'll be ok - Sondre Lerche
You who attacked my old heart with a glance
And you placed it with something new
You ran away as the pendulum swung
I had only begun
I'll be OK
I'll be OK
You who replaced every beat that was false
And uptight like a metronome
You should?ve stayed 'cause that winter was long
But by dawn you were gone
I'll be OK
I'll be OK
You who resigned when I finally decide-d
That I was alive
I'll be OK
I'll be OK
I'll be OK
I'll be OK
328. I wish you love - Nat King Cole
Goodbye, no use leading with our chins
This is where our story ends
Never lovers, ever friends
Goodbye, let our hearts call it a day
But before you walk away
I sincerely want to say
I wish you bluebirds in the spring
To give your heart a song to sing
And then a kiss, but more than this
I wish you love
And in July a lemonade
To cool you in some leafy glade
I wish you health
But more than wealth
I wish you love
My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So with my best
My very best
I set you free
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all when snowflakes fall
I wish you love
But most of all when snowflakes fall
I wish you love
I wish you love
I wish you love, love, love, love, love
I wish you love
327. I can't see nobody - Bee Gees
I walk the lonely streets; I watch the people passing by.
I used to smile and say hello. Guess I was just a happy guy.
Then you happened,girl, this feeling that possesses me.
I just can't move myself. I guess it all just had to be.
(Chorus)
I can't see nobody...no, I can't see nobody.
MY eyes can only look at you...you.
I used to have a brain; I used to think of many things.
I watched the falling rain and listened to the sweet birds sing.
Don't ask me why, little girl. I love you and that's all I can say.
You're every ,every breath I take. You are my nights; my night and day.
(chorus...)
Every single word you hear...is coming from this heart of mine.
I never felt like this before...a love like yours so young and fine.
And now as I try to forget you...it doesn't work out any way.
I loved you such a long time ago...but in my eyes you'll always be.
Every single word you hear...is coming from this heart of mine.
I loved you such a long time ago...don't know why...
And I don't know why...baby...
(chorus...)
(chorus...)
