Bon Iver - Skinny Love
Come on skinny love just last the year
Pour a little salt we were never here
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer
I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Right in the moment this order's tall
And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind
And in the morning I'll be with you
But it will be a different kind
And I'll be holding all the tickets
And you'll be owning all the fines
Come on skinny love, what happened here?
Suckle on the hope in light brassieres
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full, so slow on the split
And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind
And now all your love is wasted
And then who the hell was I?
And I'm breaking at the britches
And at the end of all your lines
Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind?
Bon Iver - The Wolves
Someday my pain, someday my pain
Will mark you
Harness your blame, harness your blame
And walk through
With the wild wolves around you
In the morning, I'll call you
Send it farther on
Solace my game, solace my game
It stars you
Swing wide your crane, swing wide your crane
And run me through
And the story's all over you
In the morning i'll call you
Can't you find a clue when your eyes are all painted Sinatra blue
What might have been lost -
Don't bother me
Emmy the Great - Cassandra
Cassandra, keep it down
I don't think they can hear you now
Don't think they heard you first time round,
No they can't hear you, there's no answer,
And maybe there's something great
That gives us meaning, if we wait,
But I'm still human, and broken hearted
To see your sundress, and your sunglasses
And hear your question, and how you ask it -
"What use is love, if it always passes?"
"What use is love, if it always passes?"
Emmy the Great - Sylvia
Oh girl in white
Come close to me.
Hold my hand
Pass notes to me.
Unquestioning, in dormitories,
We string our beads,
And fill our plates,
The days recede and play again,
And time goes by so idly,
Writing in your diary,
And every line the same,
"If this is life why does it feel like I'm dreaming?
If this is life, then why does it feel like I'm far away?"
The Lonely Island - Jack Sparrow
Watch it girl 'cause I ain't your mister nice guy
More like the meet ya take you home and fuck you twice guy (Marijke: Yeah yeah!)
All dressed up with nowhere to run
I know I make you feel crazy when I---(Marijke: Now back to the good part!!!)
Eels - Living Life (The Late Daniel Johnston Soundtrack)
Hold me like a mother would
Like I've always known somebody should, yeah
Although tomorrow don't look that good
Well it just goes to show
Though people say we're an unlikely couple
I'm seeing double of you
Oh
This is life
And everything's all right
Living living living living living living living living life
Oh, hope for the hopeless
I'm learning to cope, with the emotionless mediocrity of day-to-day living
How can I help but be restless
When everything seems so tasteless
And all of the colours seem to have faded away
Childish Gambino - Freaks and Geeks
I am running this bitch
you are just a dog walker.
I have worked all winter,
I will not fail summer,
In the back of a bush like Gavin Rossdale's drummer,
Yeah my stinger's in her flower,
I hope she'll let me pollinate,
Working hard as shit,
Yeah, this beat is made from concentrate,
Swag out the ass,
I'm the man,
Fuck Chico,
Took the G out yo waffle,
All you got left is your ego,
Running the game,
Fuck am I sayin'?
Runnin' the earth,
Give me a month,
Mountain Goats - This Year
my broken house behind me
and good things ahead
a girl named Cathy
wants a little of my time
six cylinders underneath the hood
crashing and kicking
aha!
listen to the engine whine
i am going to make it through this year
if it kills me
i am going to make it though this year
if it kills me
i played video games in a drunken haze
i was seventeen years young
hurt my knuckles punching the machines
the taste of scotch rich on my tongue
Mumford and Sons - Sigh No More
Serve God, love me and mend
This is not the end
Lived unbruised, we are friends
And I'm sorry
I'm sorry
Sigh no more, no more
One foot in sea and one on shore
My heart was never pure
And you know me
You know me
But man is a giddy thing
Oh man is a giddy thing
Oh man is a giddy thing
Oh man is a giddy thing
Love it 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, a cry
Of my heart to see,
The beauty of love as it was made to be
Wake Up - Arcade Fire
Something filled up
My heart with nothing
Someone told me not to cry
But now that I'm older
My heart's colder
And I can see that it's a lie
Children, wake up
Hold your mistake up
Before they turn the summer into dust
If the children don't grow up
Our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up
We're just a million little gods causing rainstorms
Turning every good thing to rust
Calgary - Bon Iver
don't you cherish me to sleep
never keep your eyelids clipped
hold me for the pops and clicks
i was only for the father's crib
hair, old, long along
your neck onto your shoulder blades
always keep that message taped
cross your breasts you won't erase
i was only for your very space
Creature Fear - Bon Iver
I was full by your count
I was lost but your fool
Was a long visit wrong?
Say you are the only
So many foreign roads
(So relatively fucked)
So ready for us
So ready for us,
The creature fear
For Emma - Bon Iver
Narrator:
(So apropos:
Saw death on a sunny snow)
Him:
"For every life..."
Her:
"Forego the parable."
Him:
"Seek the light."
Her:
"...My knees are cold."
(Running home, running home, running home, running home...)
Her:
"Go find another lover;
To bring a... to string along!"
"With all your lies,
You're still very lovable."
"I toured the light; so many foreign roads for Emma, forever ago."
re: Stacks - Bon Iver
I keep throwing it down two hundred at a time
It's hard to find it when you knew it
When your money's gone
And you're drunk as hell
I've twisting to the sun I needed to replace
The fountain in the front yard is rusted out
All my love was down
In a frozen ground
There's a black crow sitting across from me; his wiry legs are crossed
And he's dangling my keys he even fakes a toss
Whatever could it be
That has brought me to this loss?
This is not the sound of a new man or crispy realization
It's the sound of the unlocking and the lift away
Your love will be
Safe with me
Rolling in the Deep (Jamie xx Remix) - Adele/Childish Gambino
There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch, it's bringing me out the dark
Finally I can see you crystal clear
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your shit bare
See how I leave with every piece of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do
You're gonna wish you never met me
Swag
You think that I’d be fuckin’ other girls, you know I’m not
Come back to me like hipsters to Blogspot
Let me kiss you on your neck and make your heart stop
I’ll give your new dude a fat lip, Pharcyde
I wrote another song, I’m not where I belong
My eyes water when I see her, Sears catalog
I never thought you were a cheater, that was all I need
To get ahold of my head, jackin’ off
You said I wasn’t capable of loving you, I never was
I’m saying that my life’s swell, Cortazone
Fuck Macaulay Culkin, never goin’ home alone
iPhone photos, show ‘em just to mock you
Read your Twitter messages, too proud to block you
Spread shit around: “You know that his glasses fake”
That’s why I’m dating girls now who asses ain’t
Werewolf - Cocorosie
In a dream I was a werewolf
My soul was filled with crystal light
Lavender ribbons of rain sang
Ridding my heart of mortal fright
Broken sundown fatherless showdown
Gun hip swollen lip bottle sip yeah I suck dick
Loose grip on gravity falls sky blinding crumbling walls
River sweep away my memories of
Children's things a young mother's love
Before the yearning song of flesh on flesh
Young hearts burst open wounds bleed fresh
A young brother skinny and tall my older walks
Oceanward and somber, slumber sleeping
Flowers in the water, but I'm just his daughter
Walking down an icy grave leading to my
Schizophrenic father. Weeping willow won't you wallow louder
Searching for my father's power
I'ma shake you off though
Get up on that horse and
Ride into the sunset
Look back with no remorse
I don't mean to close the door
But for the record my heart is sore
You blew through me like bullet holes
Left stains on my sheets and stains on my soul
You left me broke down begging for change
Had to catch a ride with a man who's deranged
He had your hands and my father's face
Another Western vampire different time same place
I has dreams that brings me sadness
Rain much deeper than a river
Sorrow flow through me
Tiny waves of shivers
Corny movies make me reminisce
They break me down easy on this generic love shit
First kiss frog and princess
Absentee - Emmy the Great
I play out in the street
And trip on the sidewalk all covered in blood
Tears not allowed, I pick myself up
No stitches
Absentee Kýrie, eléison
Your memory like disease holds on
The fallow has grown out again
And all, all the fields are yellow
Your CDs, car keys, diaries
My family kept these secretly
Your memory like disease
Absentee Kýrie, eléison, eléison, Kýrie, eléison
Iris - Emmy the Great
There is a radiance
usually afforded to a source of light
vomiting gradience
beaming all around you as you walk tonight
Oh tell me Iris,
what if the sight of you could take my eyes?
Princess impermanent,
princess always looking for the next result
And when they serve you it
don't you always wish that you had something else?
So indeterminate,
so unobtainable, it must
be held
that you should burn for it
and not exactly know its face
but it's something like a feeling
North - Emmy the Great
And do you go where the needle leads to
And when you get there will you change?
Out where the nights are soft
And now you go because you think that Paradise should be tamed
And how you live is by a map of humanity
And now you grip it 'cause you think that it saves
But I've seen what you see
It looks different to me
I see lights to the shore
And all these hearts beating other rhythms
Now they die to be born
And all their mysteries are dying with them
And there's a place called North
And you're gathering there to sing
And I knock three times and beg you
But you will not let me in
But though I love so hard
Now I'm the carrier to this gate
And I lay, what I can, somewhere North of us and
Would you turn me away again?
And would these winds would lift
And they carry me to your door
And I knock three times and tell you
I can't help where I was born
But don't I love enough
Isn't holiness where it forms?
If I take, what I have, to the North
Is there room on your piece of Heaven?
Oh would you turn me away again?
Long Road to Ruin - Foo Fighters
A heavy cross you bear
A stubborn heart remains unchanged
No harm, no life, no love
No stranger singing in your name
Maybe the season
The colors change in the valley skies
Dear God I've sealed my fate
Running through hell
Heaven can wait
Long road to ruin
There in your eyes
Under the cold streetlights
No tomorrow
No dead end in sight
The Fallen - Franz Ferdinand
Let Go - Frou Frou
Parachute - Ingrid Michaelson
Don't believe the things you tell yourself so late at night
You are your own worst enemy, you'll never win the fight
Just hold on to me, I'll hold onto you
It's you and me up against the world, it's you and me
I don't believe anything, don't trust anyone anymore
But I believe you when you say we're never gonna fall
Hand behind my neck, arm around my waist
Never let me hit the ground, you'll never let me crash down
So Nice, So Smart - Kimya Dawson
I was quiet as a mouse
When I snuck into your house
And took roofies with your spouse
In a nit, and out a louse
And lice are lousy all the time
They suck your blood drink your wine
Say "Shut up and quit your crying
Give it time and you'll be fine,"
You're so nice and you're so smart
You're such a good friend, I have to break your heart
Tell you that I love you then I'll tear your world apart
Just pretend I didn't tear your world apart
I like boys with strong convictions
And convicts with perfect diction
Underdogs with good intentions
Amputees with stamp collections
Plywood skinboards ride the ocean
Salty noses, suntan lotion
Always seriously joking
And rambunctiously soft-spoken
We Throw Parties, You Throw Knives - Los Campesinos!
When you play pass the parcel with human body parts
Somebody might get head, but someone will get hurt
And I'll sing what you like, if you shout it straight back at me
There's red stains all over the place
But they're not blood, they're cherryade
We throw parties, you throw knives
It's all the same if the fizzy drinks are nice
And it's great that you care so much about things
But you left talcum powder all over the bathroom
And yeah, it is great, you can blow her smoke rings
But you wont taste her lips if you do get to kiss her
And it's your party, but I'll die if I want to, I'll die if I want to
Your Belgian Things - Mountain Goats
The men were here to get your Belgian things
They waltzed right through the door and went flourescent
Their boots were black and shiny and your treasures gleamed like stars
Bones from deep down in the fertile crescent
The arteries are clogging in the mainframe
There's too much information in the pipes
I saw the mess you left up in the east bedroom
A tiger's never gonna change its stripes
I guess
I guess but Jesus what a mess
One way in and no way out
The men were here to get your Belgian things
And only I was here to see them do it
I wish you had a number where you are
It's hard with no one here to help me through it
Little Lion Man - Mumford and Sons
Weep for yourself, my man
You'll never be what is in your heart
Weep little lion man
You're not as brave as you were at the start
Rate yourself and rake yourself
Take all the courage you have left
Wasted on fixing all the problems
That you made in your own head
But it was not your fault but mine
And it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
Didn't I, my dear?
Tremble for yourself, my man
You know that you have seen this all before
Tremble little lion man
You'll never settle any of your score
Your grace is wasted in your face
Your boldness stands alone among the wreck
Learn from your mother
Or else spend your days biting your own neck
Paranoid Android - Radiohead
When I am king you will be first against the wall
With your opinion which is of no consequence at all
What's that, what's that?
Ambition makes you look pretty ugly
Kicking, squealing, Gucci little piggy
You don't remember, you don't remember
Why don't you remember my name?
Off with his head, man, off with his head, man
Why don't you remember my name?
I guess he does
Ode to Divorce - Regina Spektor
The food that I'm eating
Is suddenly tasteless
I know I'm alone now
I know what it tastes like
So break me to small parts
Let go in small doses
But spare some for spare parts
There might be some good ones
Like you might make a dollar
No One's Gonna Come - Sondre Lerche
Down in the valley a choice has been made
a new reputation, it sleeps in your bed
like you said: it never was better than how it was
I know what to say when things fall apart
Now that they grow I'm talking in the dark
You can just call
I will pretend not to care
You'll pretend all
and I'll pretend you called
But no one's gonna come
tell you how it's done
Chocolate - Snow Patrol
This could be the very minute
I'm aware i'm alive
All these places feel like home
With a name i'd never chosen
I can make my first steps
As a child of 25
This is the straw, final straw in the
Roof of my mouth as I lie to you
Just because i'm sorry doesn't mean
I didn't enjoy it at the time.
You're the only thing that I love
Scares me more every day
On my knees I think clearer
Goodness knows I saw it coming
Or at least I'll claim I did
But in truth I'm lost for words
What have I done? It's too late for that
What have I become? Truth is nothing yet
A simple mistake starts the hardest time
I promise I'll do anything you ask, this time.
Take Me To The Riot - Stars
You sprung me, I'm grateful
I love when you tell me not to speak
I owe you, but I know you
You'll have me back but it's gonna take a week
What now kid? Which way love?
Will we ever make up and be friends
Good news is, my shoes is
Lined with all my nickels and my tens
Let's do that, just feed me
I hate when I have to get to sleep
You despise me and I love you
It's not much but it's just enough to keep
Saturday nights in neon lights
Sunday in the cell
Pills enough to make me feel ill
Cash enough to make me well
Take me, take me to the riot
Take me, take me to the riot
Take me, take me to the riot
Take me, take me to the riot
And let me stay
And let me stay
Let me stay, let me
Let me stay
