MILORD by Edith Piaf
Allez, venez, Milord!
Vous asseoir à ma table;
Il fait si froid, dehors,
Ici c'est confortable.
Laissez-vous faire, Milord
Et prenez bien vos aises,
Vos peines sur mon coeur
Et vos pieds sur une chaise
Je vous connais, Milord,
Vous n'm'avez jamais vue
Je ne suis qu'une fille du port,
Qu'une ombre de la rue...
Pourtant j'vous ai frôlé
Quand vous passiez hier,
Vous n'étiez pas peu fier,
Dame! Le ciel vous comblait:
Votre foulard de soie
Flottant sur vos épaules,
Vous aviez le beau rôle,
On aurait dit le roi...
Vous marchiez en vainqueur
Au bras d'une demoiselle
Mon Dieu!... Qu'elle était belle...
J'en ai froid dans le coeur...
Allez, venez, Milord!
Vous asseoir à ma table;
Il fait si froid, dehors,
Ici c'est confortable.
Laissez-vous faire, Milord,
Et prenez bien vos aises,
Vos peines sur mon coeur
Et vos pieds sur une chaise
Je vous connais, Milord,
Vous n'm'avez jamais vue
Je ne suis qu'une fille du port
Qu'une ombre de la rue...
Dire qu'il suffit parfois
Qu'il y ait un navire
Pour que tout se déchire
Quand le navire s'en va...
Il emmenait avec lui
La douce aux yeux si tendres
Qui n'a pas su comprendre
Qu'elle brisait votre vie
L'amour, ça fait pleurer
Comme quoi l'existence
Ça vous donne toutes les chances
Pour les reprendre après...
Allez, venez, Milord!
Vous avez l'air d'un môme!
Laissez-vous faire, Milord,
Venez dans mon royaume:
Je soigne les remords,
Je chante la romance,
Je chante les milords
Qui n'ont pas eu de chance!
Regardez-moi, Milord,
Vous n'm'avez jamais vue...
...Mais... vous pleurez, Milord?
Ça... j'l'aurais jamais cru!...
Eh ben, voyons, Milord!
Souriez-moi, Milord!
...Mieux qu' ça! Un petit effort...
Voilà, c'est ça!
Allez, riez, Milord!
Allez, chantez, Milord!
La-la-la...
Mais oui, dansez, Milord!
La-la-la... Bravo Milord!
La-la-la... Encore Milord!... La-la-la...
ASIDE by The Weakerthans
i don't know, just love this song for no good reason
Measure me in metered lines
And one decisive stare
The time it takes to get from here to there
My ribs that show through t-shirts
And these shoes I got for free
I'm unconsoled
I'm lonely
I am so much better than I used to be
Terrified of telephones
And shopping malls and knives
Drowning in the pools of other lives
Rely a bit too heavily
On alcohol and irony
Get clobbered on by courtesy
In love with love and lousy poetry
And I'm leaning on this broken fence
Between past and present tense
And I'm losing all those stupid games
That I swore I'd never play
But it almost feels okay
Circumnavigate this body
Of wonder and uncertainty
Armed with every precious failure
And amature cartography
I'm breathing deep before
I spread those maps out on my bedroom floor
And I'm leaning on this broken fence
Between past and present tense
And I'm losing all those stupid games
That I swore I'd never play
But it feels okay
And I'm leaving with goodbye
And I'm losing but I'll try
With the last ways left
To remember sing
My imperfect offering
DARTS OF PLEASURE by Franz Ferdinand
Danielle posted this song. i am eternally grateful.
You are the latest contender
You are the one to remember
You are the villain who sends a
Line of dark fantastic passion
I know that you will surrender
I know that you will surrender
I want this fantastic passion
We'll have fantastic passion
You can feel my lips undress your eyes
undress your eyes undress you eyes
Words of love and words so leisured
Words are poisoned darts of pleasure
Die and so you die
You are the latest adventurer
You're an emotion avenger
You are the devil that sells a
line of dark fantastic passion
I know that you will surrender
I know that you will surrender
I want this fantastic passion
Will have fantastic passion
You can feel my lips undress your eyes
undress your eyes undress you eyes
Skin can feel my lips they tingle
tense anticipation
This one is an easy one
Feel the word and melt upon it
Words of love and words so leisured
Words are poisoned darts of pleasure
Die. So I die.
Ich heisse super fantastische
Ich Trinke champers mit lachsfisch
THE DIRTY GLASS by Dropkick Murpheys
Murphy, Murphy darling dear
I long for you now night and day
Your pain was my pleasure, your sorrow my joy
I feel now I've lost you to health and good cheer
Darcy, when I met you I was five years too young
A boy beyond his age, so I'd tell someone.
Anyone who'd listen and a few who couldn't care
Still I welcomed you with open arms, my love I did share
Darcy, Darcy darling dear,
You left me dying, crying here
In whiskey , gin, and pints of beer
I fell for you my darling dear
You shut me off then you showed me the door
But you always came crawling back beggin me for more
I showed you kindness, a stool, and a tab
Then you poured me my pain in a dirty glass
(Yeah, you left him bloody battered penniless and poor)
You know, I often stopped and wondered how you made it
through my door
With my brother's new non-duplicate registry ID
Well you bit off more than you could chew the first day you
met me.
Darcy, Darcy, darling dear,
you left me dying, cyring here,
in whiskey, gin, and pints of beer,
i fell for you my darling dear,
You weren't the first to court me mister you won't be the last
Oh, sure I wasn't honey, I know all about your past
Listen to the big shot with his pager on call
You spent most of those nights in my bathroom stall
(Yeah, you got him high, but you left him low)
Mind your own business, boy, how was I to know
That he was just a fiend and a no-good cheat
Well it's all in the past bitch 'cause now I've got it beat
Darcy Darcy, darling dear,
you left me dying, crying here,
in whiskey, gin, and pints of beer,
i fell for you, my darling dear.
SING ALONG Blueman Group & Dave Matthews
If I sing a song, will you sing along?
If I sing a song, will you sing along?
If I sing a song, will you sing along?
Or should I just keep singing right here by myself?
(scat singing)
If I tell you I'm strong, will you play along?
If I tell you I'm strong, will you play along?
If I tell you I'm strong, will you play along?
Or will you see I'm as insecure as anybody else?
It's like this
(scat singing)
If I follow along, does it mean I belong?
If I follow along, does it mean I belong?
If I follow along, does it mean I belong?
Or will I keep on feeling different from everybody else?
Right here

JUST LIKE HEAVEN by The Cure
Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream she said
The one that makes me laugh she said
And threw her arms around my neck
Show me how you do it
And I promise you I promise that
I’ll run away with you
I’ll run away with you
Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make her glow
Why are you so far away? she said
Why won’t you ever know that I’m in love with you
That I’m in love with you
You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You’re just like a dream
Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me
You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Just like heaven
THE DONNER PARTY by Alkaline Trio
don't ask why i like this song, i don't know.
So it began this way, I can't recall how it got started
So it began this way, I don't recall a thing
And all in all I guess it's for the better if you don't remember
anything
Sit and sing
There was a time when everything we did seemed second nature
There was a time when everything we did seemed free
And all in all I guess it's for the better if you don't remember
anything
Sit and sing
And I wanted you to know it was you
That we were thinking of as we quietly died in the snow
A place we'll never leave
A place we never wanna call home
A place we'll call the final resting place in pieces
So it began this way, I don't recall how we got started
So we end this way, no trace of us in spring
And all in all I guess it's for the better if you just can't
feel a fucking thing
Fall asleep
GOING TO INDIA by Boy Hits Car
the lyrics alone do this song no justice. the whole album has an incredible sound to it.
Going to India when the love breaks Going to India watch all elephants Fly away from the pain. Strap us in, 'cause the bass can't get us like an old guitar Here's a place full of waste free tears everyday I'm the colour-blind, missing time Gotta go 'cause I know I should've flown Left nothing too exact to create yourself If you know I'd say yeah I'm renowned cuz it feels like my love has lost itself Going to India when the love breaks Going to India, watch the men charm the snakes Run away from the pain 'Cause you know that there's nothing left to lose when you're chasing a dream Get up high when you go 'cause you know That she's bumping inside and she needs to scream Find a place where you'll face into haze And the dark shade feeling that captivates Put faith into nature, that is, invent yourself don't change your ways And, oh, how confusing this love can be You get the fuck out But don't you lay... don't lay Going to India when the love breaks Going to India watch all elephants Fly away from the pain Strap us in, 'cause the bass can't get us like an old guitar Here's a place full of waste free tears everyday I'm the colour-blind, missing time Gotta go 'cause I know, should've flown Left nothing too exact to create yourself If you know I'd say yeah I'm renowned cuz it feels like my love has lost itself So fly away Don't fly away Don't you fly away Don't you fly away

and of course, the ever classic ZOOT SUIT RIOT by The Cherry Poppin' Daddies. hooray!
Who's that whisperin' in the trees?
It's two sailors and they're on leave
Pipes and chains and swingin' hands
Who's your daddy? Yes I am
Fat cat came to play
Now he can't run fast enough
You'd best stay away
When the pushers come to shove
Zoot suit riot
throw back a bottle of beer
Zoot suit riot
Pull a comb through your coal black hair
Zoot suit riot
throw back a bottle of beer
Zoot suit riot
Pull a comb through your coal black hair
Blow Daddy!
A whipped up jitterbuggin' brown eyed man
A stray cat frontin' up an eight-piece band
Cut me Sammy and you'll understand
In my veins hot music ran
You got me in a sway
and I want to swing you done
Now you sailors know
Where your women come for love
Zoot suit riot
Throw back a bottle of beer
Zoot suit riot
Pull a comb through your coal black hair
You're in a Zoot suit riot
You're in a Zoot suit riot
You're in a Zoot suit riot
(scat)
Oh you got me in a sway
and I want to swing you done
Now you sailors know
Where your women come for love
Zoot suit riot
Throw back a bottle of beer
Zoot suit riot
Pull a comb through your coal black hair
Zoot suit riot
Throw back a bottle of beer
Zoot suit riot
Pull a comb through your coal black hair
You're in a Zoot suit riot
You're in a Zoot suit riot
You're in a Zoot suit riot
