I went on a bit of a music shopping spree the other day to collect the songs I’d been jotting down from BBC Radio One and other XM stations (The Pulse, The Blend, etc.). I wanted to note which songs I got and interesting lyrics from a few of them.

• Biffy Clyro - Only Revolutions (album)
  I pronounce it “al-uh-min-ee-uhm”
  ‘cause there’s an “i” next to the “u” and “m”
  Now write it down slowly
  And read it out fast
  
• Mumford & Sons - Sigh No More (album)
  Love that will not betray you, dismay, or enslave you
  It will set you free
  Be more like the man you were made to be
  There is a design
  An alignment to cry
  Of my heart to see
  The beauty of love as it was made to be
  
  It seems that all my bridges have been burned
  But you say “That’s exactly how this grace thing works”
  It’s not the long walk home that will change this heart
  But the welcome I receive with every start
  
  And you are the mother
  The mother of your baby child
  The one to whom you gave life
  And you have your choices
  And these are what make man great
  His ladder to the stars
  But you are not alone in this
  And you are not alone in this
  As brothers we will stand
  And we’ll hold your hand
  Hold your hand
  
• Dashboard Confessional - Alter The Ending (deluxe album)
  Oh, if this is chemical
  Then I am not afraid
  To be bound
  To the impulses of science
  
• The Big Pink - Dominos
• Alicia Keys - Empire State of Mind (Part II) Broken Down
• Alan Pownall - Take Me
  Hold, hold me for a while
  Hold me in your heart
  I’ll hold you in mine
  We dance, don’t even know how
  Seem to find my words when you’re not around
  
• Alan Pownall - More or Less
• Gnarls Barkley - Crazy
• MIA - Paper Planes

All I wanna do is *gunshot*gunshot*gunshot*
And a *gun cocking*cash register ding*
And take your money

• Franz Ferdinand - No You Girls
• Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out
• Modest Mouse - Float On
• Gorillaz (ft Mos Def and Bobby Womack) - Stylo
• La Roux - Bulletproof
• Röyksopp - Remind Me
  Brave men tell the truth
  The wise man’s tools are analogies and puzzles
  A woman holds her tongue
  Knowing silence will speak for her
  
• Gavin Rossdale - Love Remains The Same
• Rocco Deluca and The Burden - Colorful
  You are an enigma walking
  Make no excuses for the way that you carry on
  …
  You’re the most colorful thing that I’ve seen
  You’re the most beautiful thing that I’ve seen
  
• Melissa Etheridge - Fearless Love
  I want to live my life
  Pursuing all my happiness
  I want a fearless love
  I won’t settle for anything less
  
• The Maine - Into Your Arms
  There was a new girl in town
  She had it all figured out
  Well I’ll state something rash
  She had the most amazing… smile
  I bet you didn’t expect that
  
• Michael Bublé - Haven’t Met You Yet
• Example - Watch The Sun Come Up
  When I tried to speak your language I’m happy you laughed
  Heh, ‘cause I’m hardly a linguist
  Spoke through kisses ‘cause you didn’t speak English
  
• Deadmau5 (ft Kaskade) - I Remember
• Deadmau5 (ft Rob Swire) - Ghosts ‘n’ Stuff
• Inna - Hot
