1088. Green disease - Pearl Jam
G-R-E-E-D..... G-R-E-E-D
It's a disease,... and they're all green
It emanates from their being
A satiation,.. with occupation
And like weeds,.. with big leaves
Stealing light from what's beneath
Where they have more,...
Still they take more
I know,.. then I don't
There's a stowaway with my throat
It's deceiving...
I don't believe him
We can scream,.. out our doors
Behind the wall a fat man snores
In his dreams he's
Choking Ti leaves
Well I guess
There's nothing wrong with what you say
But don't sell me
'There can't be better ways'
Tell the captain
'The boat's not safe
And we're drowning.'
Turns out
He's the one making waves...
I said
There's nothing wrong with what you say
Believe me
Just asking you to sway
No white
Or black
Just grey
Can you feel this
World with your heart and not your brain?
G-R-E-E-D..... G-R-E-E-D

1087. Get right - Pearl Jam
I want for to lay down, i'm waiting 'till sundown
I'm searching the haystacks, water is sunshine,
Wait for the moment
The moment between us, the fire is made now,
Harder to touch
I wanted to get right
I wanted to get right
I wanted to get right with you
Bakers dozen parades,
Stand and debate
Out single file, nine in a row, swear if you must
Keeping your boots on, float with the now,
Hot to the touch.
Concrete underground, cast out everyday,
Dregs of society
Underbelly, inside of me, rejoice and follow thee
I wanted to get right
I wanted to get right
I wanted to get right with it, with you

1086. Thumbing my way - Pearl Jam
I have not been home since you left long ago
I'm thumbing my way back to heaven
Counting steps, walking backwards on the road
I'm counting my way back to heaven
I can't be free with what's locked inside of me
If there was a key, you took it in your hand
There's no wrong or right, but I'm sure there's good and bad
The questions linger overhead
No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead
I'm thumbing my way back to heaven
I wish that I could hold you
I wish that I had
Thinking 'bout heaven
I let go of a rope, thinking that's what held me back
And in time I've realized, it's now wrapped around my neck
I can't see what's next, from this lonely overpass
Hang my head and count my steps, as another car goes past
All the rusted signs we ignore throughout our lives
Choosing the shiny ones instead
I turned my back, now there's no turning back
No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead
I smile, but who am I kidding?
I'm just walking the miles, every once in a while I'll get a ride
I'm thumbing my way back to heaven
Thumbing my way back to heaven
I'm thumbing my way back to heaven...

1084. You've got her in your pocket - The White Stripes
You've got her in your pocket
And there's no way out now
Put it in the safe and lock it
'Cause it's at home sweet home
Nobody ever told you that it was the wrong way
To trick a woman, make her feel she did it her way
And you'll be there if she ever feels blue
And you'll be there when she finds someone new
What to do
Well you know
You keep her in your pocket
Where there's no way out now
Put it in the safe and lock it
'Cause it's home sweet home
The smile on your face made her think she had the right one
Then she thought she was sure by the way you two could have fun
But now she might leave
Like she's threatened before
Grab hold of her fast
Before her feet leave the floor
And she's out the door
'Cause you want
To keep her in your pocket
Where there's no way out now
Put it in the safe and lock it
'Cause it's home sweet home
And in your own mind you know you're lucky just to know her
And in the beginning all you wanted was to show her
But now you're scared
You think she's running away
You search in your hand for something clever to say
Don't go away
'Cause I want
To keep you in my pocket
Where there's no way out now
Put it in the safe and lock it
'Cause it's home sweet home, home sweet home

1083. We're going to be friends - The White Stripes
Fall is here, hear the yell
back to school, ring the bell
brand new shoes, walking blues
climb the fence, books and pens
I can tell that we are gonna be friends
I can tell that we are gonna be friends
Walk with me, Suzy Lee
through the park and by the tree
we will rest upon the ground
and look at all the bugs we found
safely walk to school without a sound
safely walk to school without a sound
Here we are, no one else
we walked to school all by ourselves
there's dirt on our uniforms
from chasing all the ants and worms
we clean up and now it's time to learn
we clean up and now it's time to learn
Numbers, letters, learn to spell
nouns, and books, and show and tell
playtime we will throw the ball
back to class, through the hall
teacher marks our height against the wall
teacher marks our height against the wall
We don't notice any time pass
we don't notice anything
we sit side by side in every class
teacher thinks that I sound funny
but she likes the way you sing
Tonight I'll dream while I'm in bed
when silly thoughts go through my head
about the bugs and alphabet
and when I wake tomorrow I'll bet
that you and I will walk together again
I can tell that we are gonna be friends
Yes I can tell that we are gonna be friends.

1082. Fountain of youth - Local Natives
I think we better listen to these kids
We can't keep pretending we know what we're doing
I can't keep pretending I'm afraid
If you'll sit and listen
I'll tell you a secret
We can do whatever we want
We can say whatever we mean
I have waited so long, Mrs. President
Matriarchs and Teddy Boys, play in houses on the lake
How can we quit drugs if you're gonna watch like that?
Give me five good reasons you trust us with our future
We can do whatever we want
We can say whatever we mean
And if we don't care
Then who cares?
We've been dreaming of you
Drinking from fountains of youth
And if we don't change
Then who will change?
We've been dreaming of you
Drinking from fountains of youth
I think we better listen to these kids
I can't keep pretending that I'm still asleep
I can't keep pretending I'm afraid
I was too stoned to call you but I thought that you'd say
We can do whatever we want
We can say whatever we mean
And if we don't care
Then who cares?
We've been dreaming of you
Drinking from fountains of youth
And if we don't change
Then who will change?
We've been dreaming of you
Drinking from fountains of youth
We can do whatever we want
We can say whatever we mean
We can do whatever we want
We can say whatever we mean
