Monthly Mix :: August 2010 :: I Can Unscrew the Stars
August
I am a lady from mars
And I can unscrew the stars
JESUS & AUSTRIA - CAKE BAKE BETTY (.mp4)
Well you're contagious and I got no light
You showed me constellations in the grass one night
I would smile though I got no cash
I like and empty bottle and a Jesus on my dash
I just can't remember your movements
Just sometimes I feel
Like this is all there is.
SUN FEET - EISLEY
I don't know, I can't contain my heartbeat
I am dancing, shrouded by green trees
I am whirling, wearing my sun feet
And humming children to sleep
I love to watch the light you spread to the room
See how it dances from you to me to you
With our laughter, bright white sound
I'll build a castle that won't fall down
A LITTLE RAMBLIN' BLUES FOR ANY HOUR - LISA MITCHELL
So once I had a little house in the country, babe in the country,
I was living in the country with you,
The man down the creek wore funny little hat
And he wore little buttons all down his back,
And little did he know he really had the go
And he gave it to the neighbor's cat, to the neighbor's cat,
And the neighbor's cat wore the funny little hat all day
RHYTHM - PAGE FRANCE
When you curse your name I'm a receiver
When your heart can't change I'm a receive
Do I love like a stranger?
The world keeps getting stranger all the time
And the distance is greater
Than any rope I ever tied around your waist
To keep our tumbles in rhythm
LADY IN SPAIN - INGRID MICHAELSON
I am the lady in Spain
I'll sing a haunting refrain
I am the lady from Mars
And I can unscrew the stars
I can be
Anything I see
I can be
Anything that I, anything that I see
SHINY TEETH AND ME - CHIP SKYLARK
My shiny teeth that twinkle
Just like the stars in space
My shiny teeth that sparkle
addin' beauty to my face
My shiny teeth that glisten
just like a christmas tree
You know they walk a mile just to see me smile
Woo!
My shiny teeth and me
BIRD SONG - FLORENCE + THE MACHINE
Well I didn't tell anyone but a bird flew by
And saw what I'd done he'd set up a nest outside
And he sang about what I'd become
He sang so loud
He sang so clear
I was afraid all the neighbours would hear
So I invited him in, to reason with him
I promised I wouldn't do it again
BECAUSE WE'RE DEAD - SLOW CLUB
Because I borrowed a book that I saw
Was planted deep inside your bag
It gave me an excuse
To see you again
But I'm not a theif
I'll give it back
Don't you ever wonder
Who's living in that house
It's too small for people
We all said
But there's people in the floorboards said the mouse
SOMETIME AROUND MIDNIGHT - THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT
Then she leaves, with someone you don’t know.
But she makes sure you saw her.
She looks right at you and bolts.
As she walks out the door,
your blood boiling
your stomach in ropes.
Oh and when your friends say,
“What is it? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”
CLOSING THE DOORS - CAROLINE SMITH & THE GOOD NIGHT SLEEPS
And closing the doors never helped me close up the room
Now I’m hosting the gathering
When all the men will be boys
And the girls sing the chorus again.
And holding your hand never helped me forget the truth.
Now I’m hoping your right this time,
And all the men will grow up
And the girls start to see a new day
WAITING - CITY & COLOUR
Hoping a better place is all I need,
with moments of innocence and mystery.
Oh, it's the little things you miss.
Like waking up all alone.
Oh, it's the little things you miss,
when you're underneath it all.
NOT YOUR CONCERN - THE HUSH SOUND
Shackles and chains
Get in the way
And I'm lost in the garderner's gate
Where everything grows
But no one should go where I've gone
I won't come back
How can you dream in the doorway
Without ever going in?
How can you dream in the doorway...
Without making excuses
And drawing conclusions
You're at it again.
PEOPLE WHO RAISED ME - GREGORY & THE HAWK
But I won't mind no time spent to save me
Just trying to be good to the people who raised me
And glide through life without a meaning
On trails torn up between clouds and turf
I've wished for you for what it's worth
And I want to visit on the wind
EVEN THOUGH - DARREN CRISS (.mp4)
Even though I was blind before
I've realized there is so much more
And it was always deep down in the core of me
I know it now
I thought I wanted
Someone perfect as could be
When what I needed
Was the one who was perfect for me
LEAVES IN A RIVER - SEA WOLF (.mp4)
And as we walked the rain started
The leaves softened with every step
And all around us people slept alone with their dreams
The wind came down from up the planes
And blew the leaves all through the streets
I wondered how far leaves could really fly
A CANON - REGINA SPEKTOR
I stood on my bed then I slipped in my dress
Then I ran through the halls like a ghost
And in case someone heard me
I grabbed the big dagger that I'd never use, unless...
Barefeet on the cobblestones street, then a peach
Then a splash, then my ankles, my knees, then my thighs
And my eyes open-wide
I threw myself right into the sea
And I could see it was coming my way
Was coming my way
I always knew a big boat would come
And take me away, take me away
Take me away
