714. Skyfall - Adele
This is the end
Hold your breath and count to ten
Feel the Earth move and then
Hear my heart burst again
For this is the end
I’ve drowned and dreamt this moment
So overdue I owed them
Swept away I’m stolen
Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Or face it all together
Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
And face it all together
At Skyfall
Skyfall is where we start
A thousand miles and poles apart
Where worlds collide and days are denied
You can take my name
But you’ll never take my heart
Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
And face it all together
Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Or face it all together
At Skyfall
Where you go I go
What you see I see
I know i'll never be without the security
Are your loving arms
Keeping me from harm
Put your hand in my hand
And we'll stand
Let the sky fall, when it crumbles
We will stand tall
Or face it all together
Let the sky fall, when it crumbles
We will stand tall
Or face it all together
At skyfall
Let the sky fall
We will stand tall
At skyfall

713. Lights - Interpol
All that I see
Show me your ways
Teach me to meet my desires... with some grace
All that I fear
Don't turn away
And leave me to plead in this hole of a place...
What if I never break
Estuary, won't you take me
Far away, far away
All that I seek
Please police me
I want you to police me
But keep it clean
Now that you mean... my day
Now let's take them away
(that's why I hold you)
Strong as you've seen
Bold as you behave
(that's why I hold you)
You will always obey
(that's why I hold you)
All that I feel
Capital ways
Teach me to grieve and conspire
With my age
All that I can see
A gold mystic spree
A seething routine
I could never navigate
Maybe I like to stray
No harm it seems to be less so free... not today
It's like you want it that way
All that I see is
Peaceful eyes drawn away from me
Drawn away from me
We'd like to take the sights
(that's why I hold you)
And bring silence in disguise
(that's why I hold you... dear)
We'd like to meet the buyer that is on your life
That's why I hold you
That's why I hold you, dear
That's why I hold you...

711. Someday - Two Door Cinema Club
Is it a race, or a chase?
It's a difficult one.
Are you running faster and further away,
Or are you trying to keep up?
Sticks and stones have left you alone,
And all your words will soon desert you.
Are you waiting?
There is no time
For wasting any time.
This is the end of the line,
The definite sign
Of what we will be
Someday.
Where do we start
If we will end apart?
Where do we go from here?
It's head versus heart.
It will all be clear
Someday.
We hear that rumbling song in the distance.
It's coming closer, but we don't like to talk about it.
The sticks and stones won't build you a home,
And every word it will exert you
'til your done.
There is no time
For wasting any time.
This is the end of the line,
The definite sign
Of what we will be
Someday.
Where do we start
If we will end apart?
Where do we go from here?
It's head versus heart.
It will all be clear
Someday.

709. Take you on a cruise - Interpol
I'm timeless like a broken watch
And make money like Fred Astaire
I see that you've come to resist me
I'm a pitbull in time
The pretence is not what restricts me
It's the circles inside
An anatomy of kisses
And a teacher who tries
And knows how we'll disappear
Would you like to be my Missus
And a future with child
You know we can't get back from here
We can get away
Baby won't you try to find me
Baby won't you try to fight
Baby won't you try to find me
Maybe it will be alright
Along the way
Tears drown in the wake of delight
There's nothing like this built today
You'll never see a finer ship in your life
We sail today
Tears drown in the wake of delight
There's nothing like this built today
You'll never see a finer ship
Or receive a better tip in your life
I am the scavenger
Between the sheets of union
Lately I can't tell for sure
Whether machines turn anyone
Are you the scavenger?
Between the sheets of union
Lately I can't tell for sure
whether machines turn anyone
Lady won't you try to find me
Lady there is no need to fight
Lady won't you try to find me
Lady it will be alright
We sail today
Tears drown in in the wake of delight
There's nothing like this built today
You'll never see a finer ship in your life
Along the way
The sea will crowd us with lovers at night
There's nothing like this built today
You'll never see a finer ship
Or receive a better tip in your life
I see that you've come to resist me
I'm a pitbull in time
White Goddess, red Goddess
Black temptress of the sea, you treat me right
Black Goddess, red Goddess
White temptress of the sea, you treat me right
Oh my love is sailing to Norway.
All my love we're leaving tonight
White Goddess, black Goddess
Red temptress of the sea, you treat me right
White Goddess, red Goddess
Black Temptress of the sea, you treat me right

708. Big sur - The Thrills
So much for the city
Tell me that you'll dance to the end
Just tell me that you'll dance to the end
do do do do do do do
Hey, hey you're the monkees
People said you monkeyed around
But nobody's listening now
do do do do do do do
Just don't go back to Big Sur
Hangin' around, lettin' your old man down
Just don't go back to Big Sur
Baby baby please don't go
Oh baby baby please don't go
So much for the street lights
They're never gonna guide you home
No they're never gonna guide you home
do do do do do do do
Down at the steam boat show,
Yeah, all the kids start spittin'
I guess it didn't live up to the billing
do do do do do do do
Just don't go back to Big Sur
Hangin' around, lettin' your old man down
Just don't go back to Big Sur
Baby baby please don't go
Baby baby please don't go
(Musical interruption)
Do do do do do do do
Just don't go back to Big Sur,
Hangin' around, lettin' your old man down
Just don't go back to Big Sur
Baby baby please don't go
Oh baby baby please don't go
Just don't go back to Big Sur,
Hangin' around, lettin' your old man down
Just don't go back to Big Sur
Baby baby please don't go
Oh baby baby please don't go
707. Crazy - Gnarls Barkley
I remember when
I remember I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place
Even your emotions had an echo
In so much space
And when you're out there
Without care
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much
Mmm
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Possibly
And I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice, that's my only advice
Mmm
Come on now, who do you
Who do you, who do you, who do you think you are?
Ha ha ha, bless your soul
You really think you're in control?
Well,
I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
Just like me
My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember is thinking, I wanna be like them
Mmhmm
Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun
And it's no coincidence I've come
And I can die when I'm done
But maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably
Ooh ooh mmm

706. One more robot/Sympathy 3000-21 - The Flaming Lips
Unit three thousand twenty one is warming
Makes a humming sound - when its circuits
Duplicate emotions - and a sense of coldness detaches
As it tries to comfort your sadness -
One more robot learns to be something more than
A machine - when it tries the way it does - make it seem
Like it can love -
Cause it's hard to say what's real - when you know the
Way you feel - is it wrong to think it's love
When it tries the way it does...
Feeling a synthetic kind of love
Dreaming a sympathetic wish -
As the lights blink faster and brighter -
One more robot learns to be something more than
A machine - when it tries the way it does - make it seem
Like it can love -
Cause it's hard to say what's real - when you know the
Way you feel - is it wrong to think it's love
When it tries the way it does...

704. Changing partners - Helen Forrest
We were waltzin' together to a dreamy melody
When they called out "change partners"
And you waltzed away from me
Now my arms feel so empty as I gaze around the floor
And I'll keep on changing partners
Till I hold you once more
Though we danced for one moment and too soon we had to part
In that wonderful moment something happened to my heart
So I'll keep changing partners till you're in my arms and then
Oh, my darlin' I will never change partners again
[Instrumental Interlude]
Though we danced for one moment and too soon we had to part
In that wonderful moment something happened to my heart
So I'll keep changing partners till you're in my arms and then
Oh, my darlin' I will never change partners again
703. Life - The Avett Brothers
One comes of it, love it, love it
Let go of it, love comes from it
We're not of this world for long
Faith and promise, keep me honest
When starvation falls upon us
Daylight told me he would be
Gone with cold words spoke among hers
Wretched in the tongue of their world
We're not of that world at all
We will never be
Wouldn't it be fine to stand behind
The words we say in the best of times
Oh, and you and I know all too well
About the hell and paradise right here on earth
Keep it, use it, build it, move it
Claims can't touch how time will prove it
Watch us fly as loud we can
Let her heartbeat change what I am now
Wouldn't it be fine to stand behind
The words we say in the best of times
Oh, and you and I know all too well
About the hell and paradise right here on earth

702. The old gold shoe - Lambchop
The gold stereo
Stretches out the sound
Turns the plates until they're rounded
The whole that you know
Gets closer to the ground
Closer to the things you found
And for all our massive brains
To call on choked remains
It's painful
And it's certain
That something's bound to break
(Inside)
This house is not alone
I'm kicking 'round here somewhere
So check behind the ancient speaker
Like pain, painful southern bliss
Is poured upon like caramel
And garnished with some crushed pecans
And to grow is not to grind
To mope is not to mind
The old cap
The geezer
The 15 second teaser
Behold and you know
Everyone's a ringer
He's not even a very good singer
The dirt on the tracks
Has hardened into clusters
Earthen legs and honey mustard
The storm closes in
The leaves start to spin
It's getting
Much later
I wish I heard your radio
(Tonight)
The people in the rain
Are staring through our backs
Wishing you had half a brain
For all, all our little pain
Tender is the mangle
The science diet the ivory tangle
The dark goes away
Each and every stinking day
I'm getting
Much better
This evening's little upsetter
The kids out in the street
Take their toys and break them
Look at them, then walk away
The guy on the cross
Is holier than I
But then again he's made from plastic
And for all our massive brains
To call on choked remains
It's painful
And it's certain
That something's bound to break
(Inside)

701. Tick of time - The Kooks
Oh honey please, don't shed no tears
As long as I'm here
Its far too early in the morning to be trying to call you
And far too early in the daytime to be thinking about that
But I, (but I), but I, (but I), but I am
What did I do in a past life, oh to deserve this
Yeah the way I make myself
He's far too innocent to be a part of such a cruel world
And it is, and it is and it is
And so I'll go, yes I'll go, so I'll take that train and ride.
Hoping I can write her a rhyme, that might stop the tick of time
Get off this situation and feel fine,
Get off this situation and feel fine.
What did I do to deserve her love,
I have to ask myself.
When I am such a bad man but only to her (only to her, only, only to her)
Oh and so I'll go, yes I'll go, so I'll take that train and ride.
Oh and so I'll go, yes I'll go, so I'll take that train and ride.
Wishing, hoping I can write her a rhyme, that might stop the tick of time
Get off this situation and feel fine,
Get off this situation and feel fine.

700. Surprise ice - Kings of Convenience
When past sometimes takes you with soft hands
forcelessly pulls you to your chair
hides you away from these half days
sunless at the end of the year
the air is like a knife cutting through you
a room in the house is always warm
stretched out on the bathroom floor thinking
of fair days your future may hold
love comes like surprise ice on the water
love comes like surprise ice at dawn
love comes like surprise ice on the water
love comes at dawn
deprived of the light and of the colours
the world ends at your window tree
darkness creates these illusions
but pale days can teach you to see
rain falls but no life is given
weeks pass no progress is made
past sometimes takes you with soft hands
and all that surrounds you will fade
699. The weight of my words - Kings of Convenience
There are very many things
I would like to say to you,
but I've lost my way
and I've lost my words.
There are very many places
I would like to go,
but I can't find the key
to open my door.
The weight of my words
you can't feel it anymore.
The weight of my words
you can't feel it anymore.
There are very many ways
I would like to break the spell
you've cast upon me.
'Cause all the time
I sacrificed myself
to make you want me,
has made you haunt me.
The weight of my words
you can't feel it anymore.
The weight of my words
you can't feel it anymore.
The weight of my words
you can't feel it anymore.
There are very many things
I would like to say to you,
but I've lost my way
and I've lost my words.
There are very many places
I would like to go,
but I can't find the key
to open my door.

698. Live and die - The Avett Brothers
All it will take is just one moment and
you can say goodbye to how we had it planned
Fear like a habit run like a rabbit out and away
through the screen door to the unknown
and I want to love you and more
I want to find you and more
Where do you reside,
when you hide how can I find ya
Cause I wanna send you and more.
I wanna tempt you and more.
Can you tell that I am alive?
Let me prove it.
You and I we're the same
live and die we're the same
hear my voice know my name
you and I we're the same
Live like a pharaoh
sing like a sparrow anyway
even if there is no land or love in sight
we bloom like roses lead like moses out and away
through the bitter crowd to the daylight
and I want to love you and more
I want to find you and more
can you tell that I
am alive let me prove it to ya.
You and I we're the same
live and die we're the same
you rejoice I complain
but you and I we're the same
live and die we're the same
you and I we're the same
hear my voice know my name
you and I we're the same
I want to love you and more
I want to find you and more
where do you reside
when you hide how can I find ya
cause I wanna save you and more
I wanna tempt you and more
can you tell that I am alive let me prove it
You and I we're the same
live and die we're the same
you rejoice I complain
but you and I we're the same
live and die we're the same
you and I we're the same
hear my voice know my name
you and I
you and I
697. The ballad of love and hate - The Avett Brothers
Love writes a letter and sends it to hate.
My vacations ending. I'm coming home late.
The weather was fine and the ocean was great
and I can't wait to see you again.
Hate reads the letter and throws it away.
"No one here cares if you go or you stay.
I barely even noticed that you were away.
I'll see you or I won't, whatever."
Love sings a song as she sails through the sky.
The water looks bluer through her pretty eyes.
And everyone knows it whenever she flies,
and also when she comes down.
Hate keeps his head up and walks through the street.
Every stranger and drifter he greets.
And shakes hands with every loner he meets
With a serious look on his face.
Love arrives safely with suitcase in tow.
Carrying with her the good things we know.
A reason to live and a reason to grow.
To trust. To hope. To care.
Hate sits alone on the hood of his car.
Without much regard to the moon or the stars.
Lazily killing the last of a jar
Of the strongest stuff you can drink.
Love takes a taxi, a young man drives.
As soon as he sees her, hope fills his eyes.
But tears follow after, at the end of the ride,
Cause he might never see her again.
Hate gets home lucky to still be alive.
He screams o'er the sidewalk and into the drive.
The clock in the kitchen says 2:55,
And the clock in the kitchen is slow.
Love has been waiting, patient and kind.
Just wanting a phone call or some kind of sign,
That the one that she cares for, who's out of his mind,
Will make it back safe to her arms.
Hate stumbles forward and leans in the door.
Weary head hung, down eyes to the floor.
He says "Love, I'm sorry", and she says, "What for?
I'm yours and that's it, Whatever."
"I should not have been gone for so long.
I'm yours and that's it, forever."
"You're mine and that's it, forever."

696. Stars and sons - Broken social scene
Then when you let it
You asked for nothing
Why don't you share it
All of the time you live
There's something out there
This way we'll know, how far to live on
there's one more avenue in this town
And in the red room
At a distance
How would you know it
You're the same when you're living
I don't know it
It won't be this
This way we'll know, how far to live on
This way we'll know, how far to live on
All of the time you wait, there's someone out there
And no one can find all the red
How would you show it
You can see through the red
I don't know it
It won't be this time
692. Don't panic - Coldplay
Bones, sinking like stones,
All that we fought for,
Homes, places we've grown,
All of us are done for.
And we live in a beautiful world,
Yeah we do, yeah we do,
We live in a beautiful world,
Bones, sinking like stones,
All that we fought for,
And homes, places we've grown,
All of us are done for.
And we live in a beautiful world,
Yeah we do, yeah we do,
We live in a beautiful world.
Here we go,
Here we go.
And we live in a beautiful world,
Yeah we do, yeah we do,
We live in a beautiful world.
Oh, all that I know,
There's nothing here to run from,
Cos yeah, everybody here's got somebody to lean on

690. Up in the air - Kevin Renick
I’m up in the air,
Choices drifting by me everywhere.
And I can’t find the one
That would help me do the work I’ve left undone,
‘Cause I’m up in the air.
I’m making some plans,
Finding out there’s always new demands.
And I can’t be precise;
When people ask me what I’m doing with my life,
I say, “It’s up in the air.”
I’m hearing from friends.
It’s that tired, old advice again:
“You just cannot keep floating all around.
Oh, you got to get your feet back on the ground.”
But it’s hard to come down
When you’re up in the air.
Daaaa, da-da, da, da-da.
Daaaa, da-da, da, da-da.
Daaaa, daaa; daaa, da-da-da
Mmm-mm…
I’m traveling in my car,
Always lost, though I don’t go that far.
I find that I can live most anywhere.
Everyone I meet has so much they can share.
But I don’t settle down,
‘Cause I’m up in the air.
I’m thinking of my past,
The comfort in my home that couldn’t last.
Now my family tells me work for your success,
And they want to see me find some happiness.
But I’m not sure where that is,
‘Cause I’m up in the air.
I’m talking with my peers,
Listening to them tell their inner fears.
Some have lives that haven’t gone the way they planned,
And some are trapped in situations they can’t stand.
But I don’t want the same for me,
So I stay up in the air.
Daaaa, da-da, da, da-da.
Daaaa, da-da, da, da-da.
Daaaa, daaa; daaa, da-da-da
Mmm-mm…
I’m out in the woods;
Something here does my heart so good.
I breathe the air, and I know that I’m alive.
And I stare at all the birds as they fly by.
I guess it all comes down to them,
‘Cause they’re up in the air…
689. Falling - Julee Cruise
Don't let yourself be hurt this time.
Don't let yourself be hurt this time.
Then I saw your face
Then I saw your smile
The sky is still blue
The clouds come and go
Yet something is different
Are we falling in love?
Don't let yourself be hurt this time.
Don't let yourself be hurt this time.
Then your kiss so soft
Then your touch so warm
The stars still shine bright
The mountains still high
Yet something is different
Are we falling in love?
Falling
Falling
Are we falling in love?

688. Panic station - Muse
You won't get much closer
Till you sacrifice it all (all)
You won't get to taste it
With your face against the wall (wall wall)
Get up and commit
Show the power trapped within (in in)
Do just what you want to
And now stand up and begin
Ooo 1, 2, 3, 4 fire's in your eyes
And this chaos, it defies imagination
Ooo 5, 6, 7, minus 9 lives
You've arrived at panic station
Doubts will try to break you
Unleash your heart and soul
Trouble will surround you
Start taking some control
Stand up and deliver
Your wildest fantasy
Do what the fuck you want to
There's no one to appease
Ooo 1, 2, 3, 4 fire's in your eyes
And this chaos, it defies imagination
Ooo 5, 6, 7, minus 9 lives
You've arrived at panic station
Ooo 1, 2, 3, 4 fire's in your eyes
And this chaos, it defies imagination
Ooo 5, 6, 7, minus 9 lives
And I know that you will fight for the duration
Ooo 1, 2, 3, 4 fire's in your eyes
And I know I'm not resisting the temptations
Ooo 5, 6, 7, minus 9 lives
You've arrived at Panic Station!

687. Madness - Muse
I, I can't get these memories out of my mind
And some kind of madness has started to evolve
I, I tried so hard to let you go
But some kind of madness is swallowing me whole, yeah
I have finally seen the light
And I have finally realized
What you mean
Oh oh oh
And now, I need to know is this real love
Or is it just madness keeping us afloat?
And when I look back at all the crazy fights we had
Like some kind of madness
Was taking control
Yeah
And now I have finally seen the light
And I have finally realized
What you need
Mm
And now I have finally seen the end (Finally seen the end)
And I'm not expecting you to care (Expecting you to care)
But I have finally seen the light (Finally seen the light)
I have finally realized (Realized)
I need to love
I need to love
Come to me,
Trust in your dream
Come on and rescue me
Yes I have known, I can be wrong
Maybe I'm too headstrong
Our love is
Madness
686. Fatal - Pearl Jam
How good is he? How warm are his eyes?
You'll see it's not a reprise
Did he arrive too late and too tethered away
To put on his suit and his tie?
How good is he? How warm is his heart or ego, telling him which place to park?
Did he relate? The message is clearly, hardly grounds for dismissal
Outright... grounds for dismissal outright...
I wake up and wait up
When anger's in fashion
I wake up and wait up
It echoes through the mansions
I wake up and wait up
When April's in May, oh, uh-oh
I wake up and wait up
The answers are fatal
The answers are fatal
I wake up and wait up
The answers are fatal
If he's truly out of sight, is he truly out of mind?
If he's truly out of sight...

685. Why go - Pearl Jam
She scratches a letter into a wall made of stone
Maybe someday another child won't feel as alone as she does
It's been two years, and counting, since they put her in this place
She's been diagnosed by some stupid fuck, and mommy agrees, yeah...
Whoa...yeah...hey yeah yeah...
Why go home... (3x)
She seems to be stronger, but what they want her to be is weak
She could play pretend, she could join the game, boy
She could be another drone...ooh...whoa...ah yeah...
Ooh...
Why go home? (4x)
What you taught me...put me here...don't come visit...mother...
Sting me...
Whoa...ooh...
Why go home? (4x)
What you taught me...put me here...don't come visit...mother, mother, yeah...
Why go home? (7x)
Whoa...

684. Speed of dreams - ALO
she knows that life won't wait for you
to make up your mind
so she's already made a move
while you're still trying to decide
she pulls out a machete and begins to chop
upon the loose ends that were stoppin' us up
She knows that life won't wait for you
to make up your mind
so she moves
at the speed of dreams
at the speed of dreams
at the speed of dreams
she's like a sweetness of a superhero
picks me up when I'm at zero
rescues me with her special powers
arrives just in a nick of time
and always seems to hear my mind
puts sweetness in a life that's gone sour
the villains had us cornered
and our luck was fading
she kicked in the doors with the guns a blazing
I'm almost underwater with just my head above
when suddenly she appears
'cause she moves
at the speed of dreams
at the speed of dreams
at the speed of dreams
683. Thank you too - My Morning Jacket
Really didn't think i was gonna make it
Really didn't think i was gonna make it this way
put on my robot face
had my emotions way far away from me
oh you really saw my naked heart
you really brought out the naked part
I don’t know what you were doing
I know I just want to thank you for thinking of me
I want to take you for all that you are
although our worlds seem far apart
I want to see you for all that you do
I want to thank you
it was strange and it was soothing
and you could even say amusing, the way it came to me
you devised a simple plan that would change the fate of man
you thought of everything
oh you really saw my naked heart
you really brought out the naked part
I don’t know what you were doing
I know I just want to thank you for thinking of me
I want to take you for all that you are
although our worlds seem far apart
I want to see you for all that you do
I want to thank you
I want to take you for all that you are
although our worlds seem far apart
I want to see you for all that you do
I want to thank you

682. Head full of doubt/road full of promise - The Avett Brothers
There's a darkness upon me that's flooded in light
In the fine print they tell me what's wrong and what's right
And it comes in black and it comes in white
And I'm frightened by those who don't see it
When nothing is owed, deserved or expected
And your life doesn't change by the man that's elected
If you're loved by someone, you're never rejected
Decide what to be and go be it
There was a dream and one day I could see it
Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it
And there was a kid with a head full of doubt
So I'll scream til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out
There's a darkness upon you that's flooded in light
And in the fine print they tell you what's wrong and what's right
And it flies by day and it flies by night
And I'm frightened by those who don't see it
There was a dream and one day I could see it
Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it
And there was a kid with a head full of doubt
So I'll scream til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out
There was a dream and one day I could see it
Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it
And there was a kid with a head full of doubt
So I'll scream til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out
There's a darkness upon me that's flooded in light
In the fine print they tell me what's wrong and what's right
There's a darkness upon me that's flooded in light

681. The once and future carpenter - The Avett Brothers
The Avett Brothers "Once and Future Carpenter" from Austin City Limits on Vimeo.
I ain't from Texas, but I made my way from Dallas
and I know the lonesome sound is following
I ain't a gambler, but I can recognize a hand
and when to hold, when the queens are staring back at me
Once I was a carpenter, man my hands were calloused
I could swing a metal mallet sure and straight
But I took to the highway, a poet young and hungry
and I left the timbers where they lay
Forever I will move like the world that turns beneath me
and when I lose my direction I'll look up to the sky
and when the black cloak drags upon the ground
I'll be ready to surrender, and remember
well we're all in this together
If I live the life I'm given, I wont be scared to die
And I don't come from Detroit, but her diesel motors pull me
and I followed till I finally lost my way
And now I spend my days in search of a woman I called purpose
And if I ever pass back through her town I'll stay
Forever I will move like the world that turns beneath me
and when I lose my direction I'll look up to the sky
and when the black cloak drags upon the ground
I'll be ready to surrender, and remember
well we're all in this together
If I live the life I'm given, I won't be scared to die
And my life is but a coin, pulled from an empty pocket
Dropped into a slot with dreams of sevens close behind
And hope and fear go with it, and moon and the sun go spinning
Like the numbers and fruits before my eyes
Sometimes I hit, sometimes it robs me blind
Sometimes I hit, sometimes it robs me blind
Forever I will move like the world that turns beneath me
and when I lose my direction I'll look up to the sky
and when the black cloak drags upon the ground
I'll be ready to surrender, and remember
well we're all in this together
If I live the life I'm given, I won't be scared to die
680. Música - A Naifa
Como um raio a rasgar a vida, como uma flor
a florir desmedida, como uma cidade secreta
a levantar-se do chão, como água, como pão
Como um instante único na vida, como uma flor
a florir desmedida, como uma pétala dessa flor
a levantar-se do chão, como água, como pão,
Assim nasceste no meu olhar, assim te vi,
flor a florir desmedida, instante único
a levantar-se do chão, a rasgar a vida,
Assim nasceste no meu olhar, assim te amei,
vida, água, pão, raio a rasgar uma cidade secreta
a levantar-se do chão, flor a florir desmedida

679. Yet again - Grizzly Bear
Yet again, we’re the only ones
No surprise, this is often how it’s done
Lately, it’s about all I can take
I will put an end in all these brakes
oh-oh-oh oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Shell with another crack
I’m small, but I can keep track
Too soon, everyone just step away
I’m sure this isn’t the last ṗlay
Take it all and strike
Speak don’t confide
Barely had a chase
It’s done before we try
Stop it and deny
Does it end your phase?
Keep score even play, it feels this game
I know when I’ll set her the same
If I could, I will beat it all in
No chance, to move outwards and see
oh-oh-oh oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Take it all and strike
Speak don’t confide
Barely had a chase
It’s done before we try
Stop it and deny
Does it end your phase?
Take it all and strike
Speak don’t confide
Barely had a chase
It’s done before you try
Stop it and deny
Does it end your phase?

678. In the end - Charlotte Gainsbourg
Help me to see
What it's all coming to
Crumbs on the table
And mud on these shoes
Treading so long
I can't see where we've been
Tracks on the trail
And nails digging in
Who's to say it's all for the best in the end
Some hands will rob you
And some hands will beg
Some say they'll stay
Til the last dying day
But if actions can't speak
And words cannot do
What ten thousand armies
Can't even fight through
Who's to say it's all for the best in the end
Who's to say it's all for the best in the end

You will, you will
Hey hey hey hey
Please say you will
For real

675. Dancefloors - My Morning Jacket
daybreak. nightfall. long as I believe
there ain't nothing glowin like this skin you're showin
and the keys you gave to me
nightjails. poolhalls. some things are everywhere
so for the past I'm diggin a grave so big, it will swallow up the sea
oh I know... that it's easy... there's no trouble waitin for me
dancefloors. headlights. in my blood there's gasoline
for an urban boy on a dirty tour I never felt so clean
loaded questions in an automatic world
you just won't be seein the things you need,
as if you thought you would
oh I know... it's never easy... when there's trouble waitin for me
674. Easy morning rebel - My Morning Jacket

he'll be the water if you'll be the wine.
sent down from heaven in this earthly disguise
well the evening rebel, his heart is stone.
this earthly body... just a temporary home
a dream of movin moves on thru the night
and he sure looks good when he moves in the light
he'll be the water if you'll be the wine.
sent down from heaven in this earthly disguise
black hearted ruler? I only knew...
that loving moment I had with you

672. Redemption song - Bob Marley
Old pirates, yes, they rob I;
Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit.
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the Almighty.
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly.
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs,
Redemption songs.
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them can stop the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look? Ooh!
Some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fulfill the Book.
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs,
Redemption songs,
Redemption songs.
---
/Guitar break/
---
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our mind.
Wo! Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fulfill the book.
Won't you have to sing
These songs of freedom? -
'Cause all I ever had:
Redemption songs -
All I ever had:
Redemption songs:
These songs of freedom,
Songs of freedom.
671. Laid - Matt Nathanson
This bed is on fire
With passionate love
The neighbors complain about the noises above
But she only comes when she's on top
My therapist said not to see you no more
She said you're like a disease without any cure
She said I'm so obsessed that I'm becoming a bore, oh no
Ah, you think you're so pretty
Caught your hand inside a till
Slammed your fingers in the door
Fought with kitchen knives and skewers
Dressed me up in women's clothes
Messed around with gender roles
Dye my eyes and call me pretty
Moved out of the house, so you moved next door
I locked you out, you cut a hole in the wall
I found you sleeping next to me, I thought I was alone
You're driving me crazy, when are you coming home
Pretty
Pretty
670. To be with you - Mr. Big
Hold on little girl
Show me what he's done to you
Stand up little girl
A broken heart can't be that bad
When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby come on over
Let me be the one to show you
(Chorus)
I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside i hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you
Build up your confidence
So you can be on top for once
Wake up who cares about
Little boys that talk too much
I seen it all go down
Your game of love was all rained out
So come on baby, come on over
Let me be the one to hold you
(Chorus)
Why be alone when we can be together baby
You can make my life worthwile
And i can make you start to smile
When it's through it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby, come on over let me
Be the one to hold you
(Chorus x3)
Just to be the next to be with you
669. 96 degrees in the shade - Third World
96 degrees in the shade
Real hot in the shade
Said it was 96 degrees in the shade
Ten thousand soldiers on parade
Taking i and i to meet a big fat boy
Sent from overseas
The queen employ
Excellency before you i come
With my representation
You know where i'm coming from
You caught me on the loose
Fighting to be free
Now you show me a noose
On the cotton tree
Entertainment for you
Martyrdom for me
96 degrees in the shade
Real hot in the shade
Some may suffer and some may burn
But i know that one day my people will learn
As sure as the sun shines, way up in the sky
Today i stand here a victim the truth is i'll never die
96 degrees in the shade
Real hot in the shade
668. Wherever you go - Richard Marx
Oceans apart day after day and I slowly go insane.
I hear your voice on the line, but it doesn't stop the pain.
If I see you next to never, how can we say forever.
Chorus:
Wherever you go, whatever you do,
I will be right here waiting for you.
Whatever it takes or how my heart breaks,
I will be right here waiting for you.
I took for granted all the times that I thought would last
somehow.
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears, but I can't get near you
now.
Oh can't you see it, Baby, you've got me going crazy.
Chorus:
Wherever you go, whatever you do,
I will be right here waiting for you.
Whatever it takes or how my heart breaks,
I will be right here waiting for you.
I wonder how we can survive this romance.
But in the end if I'm with you, I'll take the chance.
Oh can't you see it, Baby, you've got me going crazy.
Wherever you go, whatever you do,
I will be right here waiting for you.
Whatever it takes or how my heart breaks,
I will be right here waiting for you.
Waiting for you.
667. Long train running - The Doobie Brothers
Down around the corner
A half a mile from here
You can see them long trains run
And you watch them disappear
Without love
Where would you be now
Without love
You know I saw Miss Lucy
Down along the tracks
She lost her home and her family
And she won't be comin' back
Without love
Where would you be right now
Without love
Well the Illinois Central
And the Southern Central Freight
Gotta keep on pushin' mama
'Cause you know they're runnin' late
Without love
Where would you be now, na-na-now
Without love
Well the Illinois Central
And the Southern Central Freight
Gotta keep on pushin' mama
'Cause you know they're runnin' late
Without love
Where would you be now
Without love
Well the pistons keep on churnin'
And the wheels go 'round and 'round
And the steel rails are cold and hard
For the miles that they go down
Without love
Where would you be right now
Without love
Where would you be now
665. Man or muppet - Bret Mckenzie
http://youtu.be/8sIBz-rEEW8
I reflect on my reflection
And i ask myself the question
What's the right direction
To go
I don't know
Am i a man
Or am i a muppet
(am i a muppet)
If i'm a muppet
Then i'm a very manly muppet
(very manly muppet)
Am i a muppet?
(muppet)
Or am i a man?
(am i a man)
If i'm a man that makes me a muppet of a man
(a muppet of a man)
I look into these eyes
And i don't recognize
The one i see inside
It's time for me to decide
Am i a man
Or am i a muppet?
(am i a muppet)
If i'm a muppet
Well i'm a very manly muppet
(very manly muppet)
Am i a muppet
(muppet)
Or am i a man?
(am i a man)
If i'm a man that makes me a muppet of a man
(a muppet of a man)
Here i go again
My goal is runnin' out of time
I think i made up my mind
Now i understand who i am
I'm a man
I'm a muppet
Yeah!
I'm a muppet of a man
I'm a very manly muppet
I'm a muppet-y man!
That's what i am

663. Miracle drug - A.C. Newman
He was tied to the bed with a miracle drug in one hand,
In the other, a great lost novel that, I understand, was returned with a stamp
That said "thank you for your interest, young man."
While preparing his soul for a perilous slide into crime,
He had decided that he would err on this side of divine,
Being told this was wise, that there'd be payback with interest in due time
So why all the history now?
He was tied to a job selling miracle drugs from his home,
At his door every morning, a trophy arrived with the dawn,
With the following inscribed:
"we've followed you with interest for some time."
So why all the history now?
He was tied to the bed with a miracle drug in one hand.

662. Somewhere only we know - Keane
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river, and it made me complete
[Chorus]
Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old, and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired, and I need somewhere to begin
I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?
[Chorus]
And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
[Chorus]
And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go?
So why don't we go?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know?

661. Festa - Despe & Siga
Comprei uma garrafa de casal garcia,
Para beber mais a maria
Preparamos uma festa
Hoje é noite de folia
Já temos fados e guitarradas
Temos vinho e sardinhadas
E a sandra com o seu acordeão
Dá os acordes no refrão
Venham daí rapaziada
Começa a festa não tarda nada
E esta noite é sempre a abrir
Porque pro ano
Ainda está pra vir
Já só do vinho,
Temos paródia
E a banda toca uma rapsódia
Berra o fadista, de cima do palanco
"eu só quero que me saia branco"
É copo cheio e siga a dança
E até os velhos esquecem a pança
E o bairro está todo em alvoroço..
Está tudo grosso, está tudo grosso
Venham daí rapaziada
Começa a festa não tarda nada
E esta noite é sempre a abrir
Porque pró ano
Ainda está pra vir
Anima a festa pela madrugada
Chega a policia para dançar a lambada
Grandes alhadas e grandes ramboias
Já há tourada e belas bóias.
Só fico eu, mais a maria
Com a garrafa de casal garcia
E a sandra com o seu acordeão
Dá os acordes no refrão
Venham daí rapaziada
Começa a festa não tarda nada
E esta noite é sempre a abrir
Porque pro ano
Ainda está pra vir

660. Low rising - The Swell Season
I wanna sit you down and talk
I wanna pull back the veils
And find out what it is I've done wrong
I wanna tear these curtains down
I want you to meet me somewhere
Tonight in this old tourist town
And we'll go
Low rising
'Cause we've gotta come up
We've gotta come up
Low rising
'Cause I fear we've had enough
Low rising
'Cause there's no further for us to fall
Low rising
Oh, for the love of you
I wanna take you to the rock
I wanna jump right in
And see what that big ocean's got
I wanna turn this thing around
I wanna drink with you
All night, till we both fall down
Till we go
Low rising
'Cause we've gotta come up
We've gotta come up
Low rising
'Cause there's no further for us to fall
Low rising
And I fear we've had enough
Low rising
Oh, for the love of you
Low rising
'Cause we've gotta come up
We've gotta come up
Low rising
And I fear we've had enough
Low rising
'Cause there's no further for us to fall
Low Rising
Oh, for the love of you
For the love of you
Low rising, low rising
I wanna sit you down and talk
I wanna sit you down and talk about it now

659. Heaven - The Walkmen
Our children will always hear
Romantic tales of distant years
Our guilty age may come and go
Our crooked dreams will always glow
Stick with me, oh, you’re my best friend
All of my life, you’ve always been
Remember, remember
All we fight for
Remember, remember
All we fight for
Don’t leave me, oh, you’re my best friend
All of my life, you’ve always been
Don’t leave me now, you’re my best friend
All of my life, you’ve always been
Remember, remember
All we fight for
Remember, remember
All we fight for

658. We can't be beat - The Walkmen
I was the Duke of Earl
The Duke of Earl
But it couldn't last
I was the Pony Express
But I ran out of gas
Oh golden dreams
Golden dreams, all lose their glow
I don't need perfection, I love the whole
Oh give me a life, that needs correction
Nobody loves, loves perfection
Loneliness, loneliness will run you through
All the kids are laughing, I'm laughing too
If you want my eyes, take my eyes, they're always true
If you want my heart, take my heart, it's right here for you
Its been so long, been so long, but I made it through
Its been so long, been so long, but I made it through
Its been so long
We'll never leave
We can't be beat
We can't be beat
We'll never leave
We can't be beat
The world is ours
We can't be beat
We can't be beat

657. Impossible Germany - Wilco
Impossible Germany
Unlikely Japan
Wherever you go
Wherever you land
I'll say what this means to me
I'll do what I can
Impossible Germany
Unlikely Japan
Fundamental problem
All need to face
This is important
But I know you're not listening
No I know you're not listening
This was still new to me
I wouldn't understand
Impossible Germany
Unlikely Japan
This is what love is for
To be out of place
Gorgeous and alone
Face to face
With no larger problems
That need to be erased
Nothing more important
Than to know someone's listening
Now I know you'll be listening

656. O acesso bloqueado - Sérgio Godinho
Advinhar o futuro é muito duro, é muito duro
sai sempre o cálculo furado
advinhar o passado é mais seguro, é mais seguro
se bem que às vezes também sai errado
mas entre o deve e o haver,
entre o deve e o haver
sempre pões algum de lado
deve ser descontrolado
agora, advinhar o presente mesmo se fosses vidente
isso... é q mais complicado.
tenho o acesso bloqueado *4
dar de barato o futuro é prematuro, é prematuro
mas foi tudo mal contado
deixaste o fruto no passado
ficar maduro, ficar maduro
e agora podre por não ser usado
mas entre fazer ou não fazer
entre fazer ou não fazer
sempre sobra algum trocado
crédito mal aparado
agora, advinhar o presente mesmo tão inteligente
isso... ficas todo baralhado
tenho o acesso bloqueado *4
estás à beira de um limite(ou debite)
agora ri-te, agora ri-te
vaticino reservado
vais ter que arranjar mais memória
mesmo acessório
mesmo acessório
para o destino não passar ao lado
mas entre ser e o parecer
entre ser e o parecer
não escolhas o espelho errado
desgoverno planeado
agora advinhar o presente mesmo tão clarividente
isso... só estás mais entalado
tenho o acesso bloqueado...

655. The meaning of life - The Offspring
On the way
Trying to get where I'd like to stay
I'm always feeling steered away
By someone trying to tell me
What to say and do
I don't want it
I gotta go find my own way
I gotta go make my own mistakes
Sorry man for feeling
Feeling the way I do
*chorus*
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Open wide and they'll shove in
Their meaning of life
Oh yeah, oh yeah
But not for me I'll do it on my own
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Open wide and swallow their meaning of life
I can't make it work your way
Thanks but no thanks
By the way
I know your path has been tried and so
It may seem like the way to go
Me, I'd rather be found
Trying something new
And the bottom line
In all of this seems to say
There's no right and wrong way
Sorry if I don't feel like
Living the way you do
654. Parallel Universe - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Deep inside of a parallel universe
It's getting harder and harder
To tell what came first
Under water where thoughts can breathe easily
Far away you were made in the sea
Just like me
Christ I'm a sidewinder I'm a
California king
I swear it's everywhere
It's everything
Staring straight up into the sky
Oh my my a solar system that fits
In your eye microcosm
You could die but you never dead spider web
Take a look at the stars in
Your head fields of space kid
Christ I'm a sidewinder I'm a
California king
I swear it's everywhere
It's everything
Christ I'm a sidewinder I'm a
California king
I swear it's everywhere
It's everything
Psychic changes are born in your heart entertain
A nervous breakthrough that makes us the same
Bless your heart girl
Kill the pressure it's raining on
Salted cheeks
When you hear the beloved song
I am with you
Christ I'm a sidewinder I'm a
California king
I swear it's everywhere
It's everything
Christ I'm a sidewinder I'm a
California king
I swear it's everywhere
It's everything
653. Sweet Caroline - Neil Diamond
Where it began
I can't begin to knowing
But then I know it's growing strong
Was in the spring
And spring became a summer
Who'd believe you'd come along
Hands
Touching hands
Reaching out
Touching me
Touching you
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
But now I
Look at the night
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two
And when I hurt
Hurting runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when holding you?
One
Touching one
Reaching out
Touching me
Touching you
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
Oh no no
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
Sweet Caroline
I've believed they never could
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good

652. Disarm - The Smashing Pumpkins
Disarm you with a smile
And cut you like you want me to
Cut that little child
Inside of me and such a part of you
Ooh, the years burn
Ooh, the years burn
I used to be a little boy
So old in my shoes
And what I choose is my choice
What's a boy supposed to do?
The killer in me is the killer in you
My love
I send this smile over to you
Disarm you with a smile
And leave you like they left me here
To wither in denial
The bitterness of one who's left alone
Ooh, the years burn
Ooh, the years burn, burn, burn
I used to be a little boy
So old in my shoes
And what I choose is my voice
What's a boy supposed to do?
The killer in me is the killer in you
My love
I send this smile over to you
The killer in me is the killer in you
Send this smile over to you
The killer in me is the killer in you
Send this smile over to you
The killer in me is the killer in you
Send this smile over to you
651. A song for the dead - Queens of the Stone Age
It's late enough to go drivin
And see what's mine
Life's a study of dyin'
How to do it right
You're a holy roller
Keep your belly loose
If you're hangin' around
I'm holdin' the noose
Come a little bit closer
And get on tight
In a hearse rollin over
Just a track in the line
Fuck it
Come on, let's go drivin
Come on, let's take a little ride
Life's the study of dyin'
How to do it right
650. Little sister - Queens of the Stone Age
Hey sister why you all alone?
I'm standing out your window
Hey little sister can I come inside, dear?
I want to show you all my love
I want to be the only one
I know you like nobody ever, baby
Little sister can't you find another way
No more living life behind a shadow
Little sister can't you find another way
No more living life behind a shadow
You whisper secrets in my ear
Slowly dancing cheek to cheek
Such a sweet thing when you open up, baby
They say I'll only do you wrong
Come together cause I understand
Just who you really are yeah, baby
Little sister can't you find another way
No more living life behind a shadow
Little sister can't you find another way
No more living life behind a shadow

649. Lazy projector - Andrew Bird
If memory serves us, then who owns the master
How do we know who's projecting this reel
And is it like gruel or like quick drying plaster
Tell me how long til the paint starts to peel
Is it like Pyramus or Apollo or an archer we don't know
Though history repeats itself, and time's a crooked bow
Come on tell us something we don't know
Now who's the best boy and the casting director
And the editor splicing your face from the scene
It's all in the hands of a lazy projector
That forgetting, embellishing, lying machine
That forgetting, embellishing, lying machine
They say all good things must come to an end
Everyday the night must fall
How it all came to this, I simply can't recall
Too many cooks in the kitchen
How the mighty must fall
But I can't see the sense in us breaking up at all
I can't see the sense in us breaking up at all
I can't see the sense in us breaking up at all
Breaking up at all
And it's all in the hands of a lazy projector
That forgetting, embellishing, lying machine

648. Going to a town - Rufus Wainwright
I'm going to a town that has already been burnt down
I'm going to a place that has already been disgraced
I'm gonna see some folks who have already been let down
I'm so tired of America
I'm gonna make it up for all of The Sunday Times
I'm gonna make it up for all of the nursery rhymes
They never really seem to want to tell the truth
I'm so tired of you, America
Making my own way home
Ain't gonna be alone
I've got a life to lead, America
I've got a life to lead
Tell me, do you really think you go to hell for having loved?
Tell me, enough of thinking everything that you've done is good
I really need to know, after soaking the body of Jesus Christ in blood
I'm so tired of America
I really need to know
I may just never see you again, or might as well
You took advantage of a world that loved you well
I'm going to a town that has already been burnt down
I'm so tired of you, America
Making my own way home
Ain't gonna be alone
I've got a life to lead, America
I've got a life to lead
I got a soul to feed
I got a dream to heed
And that's all I need
Making my own way home
Ain't gonna be alone
I'm going to a town
That has already been burnt down

647. Fácil de entender - The Gift
Talvez por não saber falar de cor, imaginei
Talvez por saber o que não será melhor, aproximei
Meu corpo é o teu corpo, o desejo entregue a nós
Sei lá eu o que queres dizer
Despedir-me de ti
Adeus um dia voltarei a ser feliz
Eu já não sei se sei o que é sentir o teu amor
Não sei o que é sentir
Se por falar falei, pensei que se falasse
Era fácil de entender
Talvez por não saber falar de cor, imaginei
Triste é o virar de costas, o último adeus
Sabe Deus o que quero dizer
Obrigado por saberes cuidar de mim, tratar de mim
Olhar para mim, escutar quem sou
E se ao menos tudo fosse igual a ti
Eu já não sei se sei o que é sentir o teu amor
Não sei o que é sentir
Se por falar falei, pensei que se falasse
Era fácil de entender
Eu já não sei se sei o que é sentir o teu amor
Não sei o que é sentir
Se por falar falei, pensei que se falasse
Era fácil de entender
É o amor que chega ao fim
Um final assim assim, assim
É mais fácil de entender
Eu já não sei se sei o que é sentir o teu amor
Não sei o que é sentir
Se por falar falei, pensei que se falasse
É mais fácil de entender
Eu já não sei se sei o que é sentir o teu amor
Não sei o que é sentir
Se por falar falei, pensei que se falasse
Era fácil de entender
646. She moves in her own way - The Kooks
So at my show on Monday
I was hoping someday
You'd be on your way to better things
It's not about your make-up
Or how you try to shape up
To these tiresome paper dreams
Paper dreams, honey
So now you pour your heart out
You're telling me you're far out
You're not about to lie down for your cause
But you don't pull my strings
'Cos I'm a better man
Moving on to better things
Well uh oh, oh I love her because she moves in her own way
Well uh oh, oh she came to my show just to hear about my day
And at the show on Tuesday
She was in her mindset
Tempered furs and spangled boots
Looks are deceiving
Make me believe it
And these tiresome paper dreams
Paper dreams, honey
Yeah
So wont you go far
Tell me you're a keeper
Not about to lie down for your cause
And you don't pull my strings
'Cos I'm a better man
Moving on to better things
Well oh oh, oh I love her because she moves in her own way
Well oh oh, oh she came to my show just to hear about my day
yes I wish that we never made it
Through all the summers
They're keeping us instead of
Kicking us back
Down through the suburbs
yes I wish that we never made it
Through all the summers
They're keeping us instead of
Kicking us back
Down through the suburbs
But uh oh, I love her because she moves in her own way
But uh oh, she came to my show just to hear about my day
But uh oh, oh I love her because she moves in her own way
But uh oh, oh she came to my show just to hear about my day

645. Promiscuity - Ani DiFranco
promiscuity is nothing more than traveling
there’s more than one way to see the world
and some of us like to stick close to home
and some of us are Columbus
what can I say?
nature always gets her way
nature always gets her way
and seeing the world through another’s eyes
is like busting a window in a house of lies
and in the end you make up your own mind
and there’s wide open spaces
and little cornered off places
and check ‘em out
check ‘em out
take your time
how far is too far?
how much is enough?
you gotta test this stuff
i mean how you gonna know
what you need
what you like
till you been around the block
a few times on that bike
i mean how you gonna know
who you are
what you feel
till you feel a few things
that just don’t feel real
and promiscuity is research and development
evolution begs embellishment
and baby you’re a star
and you got two invisible eyes on society
and when society gets cruel
make like you’re nature’s tool
which you are
and nature always gets her way
nature always gets her way
and monogamy is that carnival trophy you earn
when you throw that ball into that urn
it’s somewhat dumb luck, somewhat learned
and you just know when it’s your turn
and honesty is the hardest part
yeah honesty is the highest art
and honestly i myself just started
and eureka i’m less broken hearted
i mean how you gonna know
what you need
what you like
till you been around the block
a few times on that bike
i mean how you gonna know
who you are
what you feel
till you feel a few things
that just don’t feel real

644. Hole in the ocean floor - Andrew Bird
I woke with a start
Crying bullets, beating heart
To hear all God's creatures
Roaring again
Not a cricket was creaking,
Or a floorboard was squeaking,
And all the world was snoring for show
There's a hole in the ocean floor
There's a hole in the ocean floor
Gonna stop bleeding alone
I woke with a start
Crying bullets, beating heart
To hear all God's creatures
Roaring again...

643. Weight on my shoulders - The Walkmen
Oh I feel dried out from the summer’s light.
As I wander home with spirits high.
If I don’t look so good, pay no mind.
Young girl you know who I am,
took care of all my sins.
I come to you a better man.
Are you calling me, what’s that sound?
All you’re taking up holds me down.
All this weight on my shoulder as I fall to the floor.
All this weight on my shoulder.
You believe me?
I wish you’d say.
As the sun beats through the window pane,
I come from far away.
Say hello to my lonely kiss.
Goodbye to all my sins.
Everything comes down to this.
Oh and I have a story.
I’m under your skin.
Oh and I know the story
as I circle around you again.
As I circle around you again.

642. Sunset soon forgotten - Iron & Wine
http://youtu.be/_VHj1_-Hg0I
Be this sunset soon forgotten
Your brothers left here shaved and crazy
We’ve learned to hide our bottles in the well
And what's worth keeping, sun still sinking
Down and down
Once again
Down and down
Gone again
Be this sunset one for keeping
This june bug street sings low and lovely
Those band-aid children
Chased your dog away
She runs, returning, sun still sinking
Down and down
Once again
Down and down
Gone again
Be this sunset soon forgotten
Your brothers left here shaved and crazy
We’ve learned to hide our bottles in the well
And what's worth keeping, sun still sinking
Down and down
Once again
Down and down
Gone again
Be this sunset one for keeping
This june bug street sings low and lovely
Those band-aid children
Chased your dog away
She runs, returning, sun still sinking
Down and down
Once again
Down and down
Gone again

641. Sing - Travis
Baby, you've been going so crazy,
Lately nothing seems to be going right.
So low, why do you have to get so low?
You're so...
You've been waiting in the sun too long.
(Chorus)
But if you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing,
For the love you bring won't mean a thing,
Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing.
Colder, crying over your shoulder,
Hold her, tell her everything's gonna be fine.
Surely, you've been going too hurley,
Hurley 'cos no-one's gonna be stopped.
Na na na na...
(Chorus)
But if you sing, sing, sing, sing sing, sing.
For the love you bring won't mean a thing.
Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing,
Uhhh...Ahh ahh..uhhh...
Baby, there's something going on today,
But I say nothing, nothing, nothing,
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing...(fades out)
(Chorus)
But if you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing,
For the love you bring won't mean a thing,
Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing.
Ohh baby sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing,
For the love you bring won't mean a thing,
Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing.

640. Under the boardwalk - The Drifters
Oh, when the sun beats down
And burns the tar up on the roof
And your shoes get so hot
You wish your tired feet were fireproof
Under the boardwalk
Down by the sea, yeah
On a blanket with my baby
Is where I'll be
(Under the boardwalk) Out of the sun
(Under the boardwalk) We'll be having some fun
(Under the boardwalk) People walking above
(Under the boardwalk) We'll be falling in love
(Under the boardwalk, boardwalk)
In the park you hear
The happy sound of the carousel
You can almost taste the hot dogs
French fries they sell
Under the boardwalk
Down by the sea, yeah
On a blanket with my baby
Is where I'll be
(Under the boardwalk) Out of the sun
(Under the boardwalk) We'll be having some fun
(Under the boardwalk) People walking above
(Under the boardwalk) We'll be falling in love
(Under the boardwalk, boardwalk)
[Instrumental Interlude]
Oh, under the boardwalk

(Under the boardwalk) We'll be falling in love

639. Black star - Radiohead
I get home from work and you're still standing in your dressing gown
Well what am I to do?
I know all the things around your head and what they do to you
What are we coming to?
What are we gonna do?
Blame it on the black star
Blame it on the falling sky
Blame it on the satellite that beams me home
The troubled words of a troubled mind I try to understand what is eating you
I try to stay awake but its 58 hours since that I last slept with you
What are we coming to?
I just don't know anymore
Blame it on the black star
Blame it on the falling sky
Blame it on the satellite that beams me home
I get on the train and I just stand about now that I don't think of you
I keep falling over I keep passing out when I see a face like you
What am I coming to?
I'm gonna melt down
Blame it on the black star
Blame it on the falling sky
Blame it on the satellite that beams me home
This is killing me
This is killing me

638. That's what's up - Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes
I'll be the church, you be the steeple.
You be the king, I'll be the people.
While I was feeling such a mess, I thought you'd leave me behind.
While I was being such a wreck, I thought you'd treat me unkind.
But you helped me change my mind.
I'll be the sun, you be the shining.
You be the clock, I'll be the timing.
While I was feeling such a mess, I thought you'd leave me behind.
While I was feeling so upset, I thought the sun never shine.
Then I found forever
Hey! hey! love!
We've been best friends forever darling.
That's' what's up!
Forever!
No matter what!
You've got my love to lean on darling.
That's what's up!
You've got my love to lean on darling.
No matter what!
You be the book, I'll be the binding.
You be the words, I'll be the rhyming.
While I was feeling such a wreck, I thought of losing my mind.
While I was feeling such a mess, I thought the sun never shine.
You be the bird, I'll be the feather.
We'll be the best of friends forever.
While I was feeling such a mess I thought you'd leave me behind.
When I was feeling such a wreck, I thought you'd treat me unkind.
Then I found
Forever! and always!
You've got my love to lean on darling.
All the days!
Forever!
Come with me!
You've got my love to lean on darling.
All the days!
You've got my love to lean on darling.
All the days
All of our days
Yeah...
Love is a shelter.
Love is a cause.
Love goes on forever.
Yeah, love will leads us all.
Love! it is our honor.
Love! it is our all.
Love goes on forever.
Yeah, love it is our home.
Oh yeah!
Yeah! that's what's up!
Oh yeah!
That's what's up!
Yeah that's what's up!

637. Canção do beijinho - Herman José
Ai rapariga, rapariga, rapariga
Que só dizes disparates, disparates, disparates
É tanta asneira, tanta asneira, tanta asneira
Que p'ra tirar tanta asneira não chegam cem alicates.
Mas tu não sabes, tu não sabes, tu não sabes
Que isso de dar um beijinho já é um costume antigo
Ai quem te disse, quem te disse, quem te disse
Que lá por dares um beijinho tinhas de casar comigo.
Oh chega cá...
Não vou.
Tu és tão linda...
Pois sou.
Dá-me um beijinho...
Não dou.
Interesseira, convencida, ignorante,
Foragida, sua burra,
És a miúda mais palerma, cameloide que eu já vi,
Mas por que raio é que tu queres
Os beijinhos só p'ra ti?
Ora dá cá um e a seguir dá outro,
Depois dá mais um que só dois é pouco
Ai eu gosto tanto e é tão docinho
E no entretanto dá mais um beijinho (bis)
Ai rapariga, rapariga, rapariga,
Dás-me cabo do miolo, p'ra te levar com cantigas.
Ai mas que coisa, mas que coisa, mas que coisa,
Diz lá por que não és como as outras raparigas.
Quando eu pergunto se elas me dão um beijinho,
Dão-me tantos, tantos, tantos, que parecem não ter fim
E tu agora estás com tanta esquisitice
Que qualquer dia já queres e não sabes mais de mim.
Dás ou não dás?
Não e não.
Então dou eu...
Oh! isso não.
Dá-me um beijinho...
Não dou não.
Não dás porquê, sua esganada, egoísta,
Malcriada, sua parva,
Só se pensas que eu acaso tenho
a barba mal cortada
E vê lá se tens receio que a boca fique arranhada
Ora dá cá um e a seguir dá outro,
Depois dá mais um que só dois é pouco
Ai eu gosto tanto e é tão docinho
E no entretanto dá mais um beijinho (bis)
Então dá lá...
Já disse.
Eu faço força...
Que parvoíce.
Dá-me um beijinho...
Oh que chatice.
Analfabruta, pestilenta, hipocondríaca,
Avarenta, bexigosa,
Vou comprar um dicionário
Que só tenha nomes feios
Para eu te chamar todos
Até teres o ouvido cheio.
Ora dá cá um e a seguir dá outro,
Depois dá mais um que só dois é pouco
Ai eu gosto tanto e é tão docinho
E no entretanto dá mais um beijinho (bis)

634. Teus olhos castanhos - Francisco José
Teus olhos castanhos
De encantos tamanhos
São pecados meus,
São estrelas fulgentes,
Brilhantes, luzentes,
Caídas dos céus,
Teus olhos risonhos
São mundos, são sonhos,
São a minha cruz,
Teus olhos castanhos
De encantos tamanhos
São raios de luz.
Olhos azuis são ciúme
E nada valem para mim,
Olhos negros são queixume
De uma tristeza sem fim,
Olhos verdes são traição
São crueis como punhais,
Olhos bons com coração
Os teus, castanhos leais.

632. Mille lire al mese - Gilberto Mazzi
Che disperazione, che delusione dover campar,
sempre in disdetta, sempre in bolletta!
Ma se un posticino domani cara io troverò,
di gemme d'oro ti coprirò!
Se potessi avere mille lire al mese,
senza esagerare, sarei certo di trovar
tutta la felicità!
Un modesto impiego, io non ho pretese,
voglio lavorare per poter alfin trovar
tutta la tranquillità!
Una casettina in periferia, una mogliettina
giovane e carina, tale e quale come te.
Se potessi avere mille lire al mese,
farei tante spese, comprerei fra tante cose
le più belle che vuoi tu!
Ho sognato ancora, stanotte amore l'eredità
d'uno zio lontano americano!
Ma se questo sogno non si avverasse,
come farò.... il ritornello ricanterò!
Se potessi avere . . .

631. I'm on the road to happiness - Rita Redshoes
I'm on the road to happiness
Aren't you happy for me?
I know this path is like a test
For my love...i can see
So i opened the door
'cause it's time to know
What is it for
And i opened my mind
'cause it's time, time, time
To rewind and be born again
I left behind my loneliness
Just to be around you
And from now on you're my address
Please just tell me, how's the view?
So i opened the door
'cause it's time to know
What is it for
And i opened my mind
'cause it's time
And i walked through this floor
Just to find a way to win this war
And to rest by your side
'cause it's time, time, time
To rewind and...
If i see what it is to be blind
If i carry a blessed love hum...
If i won't go to the end of the line
Will you ever be mine?
630. The beginning song - Rita Redshoes
You came to this world
To see what I've done
And it's fine
So come and let's start
I'll give you all my heart
This time
Don't walk away
Cause baby I will love you more
I have this feeling
You're who I've been looking for
So close your eyes
And read the signs
It's time to sore
You came to this world
To change what I've done
It's all right
But now you must stare
You can pretend you're there
If you're mine
Don't walk away
Cause baby I will love you more
I have this feeling
You're who I've been looking for
Don't turn away
It's time to stay
There's nothing more

629. 2B2 - Lambchop
Took the Christmas lights
Off the front porch
February 31st
A band mate was in New Orleans
My soul mate was on the coast
After all it takes for us
2B2
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
There are missionaries on a beachhead
On our television screen
And I swear it looks like England
Yeah, I think it's England
And the dogs they bark at no one
And we do the best we can
2B2
2B2
I don't want to go to sleep
When I'm hungry
I don't want to wake up
When I'm stoned
Too
2B2
It was good to talk to you while we're cooking
Sounds like we're making the same thing
One man cooks with powder
The other cooks with stones
2B2
