[MIX] STAR TREK: A CALCULATED BIRTH (JIM KIRK)
A CALCULATED BIRTH, a jim kirk mix
01. holy branches - radical face
when you were young / you'd bite your tongue
there's a hole, in your chest
from the time that you were born, and it don't get filled
cause you've always known
you're nothing they want
and I don't sleep much / days don't feel different from the nights with no goals in mind
but for now, we're adrift / on the winds of discontent / trying to carve our place
all in hopes we'll be something they want
but I ain't holding my breath
I'll bide my time / until I'm something they want
02. the vowels, pt. 2 - why
I'm not a ladies' man; I'm a landmine
filming my own fake death
under an '88 Cavalier I go
nothing but the rear bumper's blown
but I was born for this flight
faking suicide for applause in the food courts of malls
did anyone hear me cry there? / through a toilet stall divider
I swear, I care
am I an example of a calculated birth?
to a star chart for clowns, I'm not
03. of space and time - city and colour
on this desolate road / well I tend to forget
I'm roaming through the hills, all alone
I'm trying to find, my direction home
a question of space, a matter of time
I'll follow the stars until the first light
I don't know what drugs to take
to successfully alter the state
that my mind has been in as of late
there's an elephant in the back of the room / and it's standing in plain view
everyone can see / that it looks just like me
I will not call this road home
though it is all I know
04. you are a runner and I am my father's son - wolf parade
I've got a number on me
won't make it through the high noon sun
but I am my father's son
and I am my father's son
his bed is made / but I was a hero
early in the morning
I ain't no hero / in the night
05. (I can't get no) satisfaction - cat power
and I'm driving in my car
and a man comes on the radio
he's tellin' me more and more / 'bout some useless information
tryin' to mess my imagination
when I'm watching my t.v.
and a man comes on to tell me
how white my shirts can be
but he can't be a man cause he doesn't smoke / the same cigarettes as me
can't you see?
I'm on a loosing streak
06. fortyfive - bootstraps
shook as the wheel spun
lost from everyone
they don't know where we come from
with grooves that skip over
every word you've heard before
cause our hot blood
bound by wonderlust
still don't know where we come from
07. high and dry - radiohead
two jumps in a week
I bet you think you're pretty clever, don't you boy?
flying on your motorcyle
watching all the ground beneath you drop
you'd kill yourself for recognition,
kill yourself to never ever stop
they're the ones who'll hate you when you think you've got the world all sussed out
08. modern man - arcade fire
like a record that's skipping
I'm a modern man
and the clock keeps ticking
I'm a modern man
in my dream I was almost there
but they pulled me aside said 'you're going nowhere'
if it's alright
then how come you can't sleep at night?
09. myth - beach house
drifting in and out / see the road you're on
say just what you mean
what comes after this?
momentary bliss
found yourself in a new direction
arrows falling from the sun
canyon calling would they come to greet you
let you know you're not the only one
can't keep hanging on / to what is dead and gone
materalise
or let the ashes fly
10. bad habit - foals
and I know that I've changed
I'm chained again
cause I'm a bad habit
one you cannot shake
and I hope that I change
don't follow me
small voice of calm / puts the blame into my arms
cause I've made my mistakes
but I feel something's changed
and I know what's at stake
wash the stains away
11. racing like a pro - the national
fifteen blue shirts and womanly hands
you're shooting up the ladder
your mind is racing like a pro now
oh my god, it doesn't mean a lot to you
one time you were a glowing young ruffian
oh my god, it was a million years ago
you're dumbstruck baby, now you know
12. whirlpool - sea wolf
what is this pulling / tugging at my
limbs so heavy, dragging me down again
I swear this isn't me
I just want to / feel the sunlight
warm soothing on my naked skin
so I'm hoping
this cold blue water / scrubs me clean
oh my one, swear I'm trying
what good would it do lying?
13. on my way home - band of horses
by chance I thought of
all my favorite songs, where I'd go wrong
pissing my life away in the form of a song
every step, a victory it was
I was cheating death / just in time I woke
I came in this way
and here now I'll stay
