fanmix: it's not for our designs but our desires (being human)
being human. gen. george, annie, mitchell. track list and zip under the cut.
1. ANNIE - ANYONE'S GHOST (THE NATIONAL)
you said I came close
as anyone's come
to live underwater
for more than a month
you said it was not inside my heart, it was
you said it should tear a kid apart, it does
didn't want to be your ghost
didn't want to be anyone's ghost
2. GEORGE - TAXI CAB (VAMPIRE WEEKEND)
in the shadow of your first attack
i was questioning and looking back
you said, baby, we don't speak of that
like a real aristocrat
3. MITCHELL - MAINTENANCE HALL, 4 A.M. (STARS)
(instrumental.)
4. EVERYONE - HOW SOON IS NOW? (TATU, THE SMITHS COVER)
i am the son and heir
of nothing in particular
you shut your mouth
how can you say
i go about things the wrong way
i am human and i need to be loved
just like everybody else does.
5. ANNIE - MOODY (BITTER:SWEET)
who's that lady in the dark?
i think she's lost her way (was it me?)
who's that standing all alone
looking for someone to take her soul
on the seventh night of the week
i try to cry myself back to sleep
unfortunately then, the scent of what was once a memory
that I loved has done me in
6. GEORGE - TURN ON ME (THE SHINS)
you better hurry,
rabbit, run, run, run.
'cause meeting you was fun,
and there's a lot of hungry howlers in this one cell.
we're taking it over,
their brittle, thorny stems,
they break before they bend,
and neither one of us is one of them.
7. MITCHELL - FORCES... DARLING (KOOP)
back then things were different
a long time ago
south of hell's borders
saint peter just won't go
she knew of his dark side
asked was there no light
but he said "honey, i'm the devil
it just wouldn't be right."
8. EVERYONE - SAVAGES (THE INDELICATES)
and the world has no need
of the songs that we sang
we are savages, you and i
and we will hang, hang, hang
9. ANNIE - BYE (ELLIOTT SMITH)
(instrumental.)
10. GEORGE - HOWL (BAT FOR LASHES)
they hurt your heart
they hurt it well
and came to your assistance
in a humanitarian swell
werewolf howl
werewolf howl
roar, scream, shriek, yip, yowl
werewolf howl
11. MITCHELL - BROADRIPPLE IS BURNING (MARGOT AND THE NUCLEAR SO AND SO'S)
and if my woman was a fire
she'd burn out before I wake
and be replaced by pints of whiskey
cigarettes and outer space
then somebody moves
and everything you thought you had has gone to shit
12. EVERYONE - THE LEAVERS DANCE (THE VEILS)
beneath it all you're golden
and that's all I'm feeding on
and though my head, my hands are growing colder
we move in circles now
berenice, there's no release at all
that's not worth dying for
and it's not for our designs but our desires
that we all fall apart.
