PRETENDER.
a d1 fst
a collection with a bit of everything, for the two who are a little bit of each other.
01 - Crying Lightning - Arctic Monkeys
Outside the cafe by the cracker factory
You were practicing a magic trick
And my thoughts got rude, as you talked and chewed
On the last of your pick and mix
You said "You're mistaken if you're thinking that I haven't been called cold before"
As you bit into your strawberry lace
And then offered me your attention in the form of a gobstopper
It's all you had left and it was going to waste
Your pastimes consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I love that little game you had called Crying Lightning
And how you liked to aggravate the ice-cream man on rainy afternoons
The next time that I caught my own reflection it was on its way to meet you
Thinking of excuses to postpone
You never looked like yourself from the side but your profile could not hide
The fact you knew I was approaching your throne
With folded arms you occupied the bench like a toothache
Stood and puffed your chest out like you'd never lost a war
Although I tried so not to suffer the indignity of a reaction
There was no cracks to grasp or gaps to claw
And your pastimes consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game you had called Crying Lightning
And how you liked to aggravate the icky man on rainy afternoons
Uninviting
But not half as impossible as everyone assumes--
You are Crying Lightning
Your pastimes consisted of the strange
Twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game you had called Crying Lightning
Crying Lightning
Crying Lightning
Crying Lightning
Your pastimes, consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game you had called
Crying...
02 - Part Like Waves - Psapp
Piece me together out of the things that you see
I'm a log, I'm a boat, I'm a book, I'm a rope, I'm a tree
I follow you blindly and bursting with hope and then
Under the bridge and then out in the light again
We go round and around as we fight through the sounds
And I've shown you all that I can do
We go over and out where the silence is loud
I hope that I catch up with you
I follow you gladly and grasping the rope
And then under the hill and then bursting out light again
Oh, we all fall down
We are scattered on the ground
And we part like waves
No one ever stays
I love how we blur into one, I and you, you and me
We can get further if we stick together, you'll see
I tackle the limits and then I fell down again
Pulling the reins to my chest, letting go again
Oh, we all fall down
We are scattered on the ground
And we part like waves
No one ever stays
03 - Unbelievable - EMF
You burden me with your questions
You'd have me tell no lies
You're always asking what it's all about
But don't listen to my replies
You say to me I don't talk enough
But when I do I'm a fool
These times I've spent, I've realized
I'm going to shoot through
And leave you
The things, you say
Your purple prose just gives you away
The things, you say
You're unbelievable
You burden me with your problems
By telling me more than mine
I'm always so concerned
With the way you say
You've always go to stop
To think of us being one
Is more than I ever know
But this time, I realize
I'm going to shoot through
And leave you
The things, you say
Your purple prose just gives you away
The things, you say
You're unbelievable
Seemingly lastless, don't mean
You can ask us
Pushing down the relative
Bringing out your higher self
Think of the fine times
Pushing down the better few
Instead of bringing out the clues
To what the world and everything anger to
Brace yourself with the grace of ease
I know this world ain't what it seems
You burden me with your questions
You'd have me tell no lies
You're always asking what it's all about
But don't listen to my replies
You say to me I don't talk enough
But when I do I'm a fool
These times I've spent, I've realized
I'm going to shoot through
And leave you
The things, you say
Your purple prose just gives you away
The things, you say
Before I love you more
The things, you say
Your purple prose just gives you away
The things, you say
You're unbelievable
You're unbelievable
04 - The Pretender - Foo Fighters
Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend
Keep you in the dark
And so it all began
Send in your skeletons
Sing as their bones go marching in... again
The need you buried deep
The secrets that you keep are ever ready
Are you ready?
I'm finished making sense
Done pleading ignorance
That whole defense
Spinning infinity, boy
The wheel is spinning me
It's never-ending, never-ending
Same old story
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
In time or so I'm told
I'm just another soul for sale... oh, well
The page is out of print
We are not permanent
We're temporary, temporary
Same old story
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
I'm the voice inside your head
You refuse to hear
I'm the face that you have to face
Mirrored in your stare
I'm what's left, I'm what's right
I'm the enemy
I'm the hand that will take you down
Bring you to your knees
So who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
What if I say I'm not like the others?
(Keep you in the dark)
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
(You know they all... pretend)
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
What if I say I'm not like the others?
(Keep you in the dark)
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
(You know they all... pretend)
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
So who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
05 - Explosive - Bond
[ instrumental ]
06 - Space - M.I.A
Gravity is my enemy,
It grabs at me like harmony
The stars are bangin' close to me,
As I'm floatin' in a life odyssey
My lines are down, you can't call me,
As I fly around in space odyssey
My lines are down, you can't call me,
As I fly around in space odyssey
Like Puzzle Bobble on PC,
It's got color waves following me
And I still judge it week by week,
And I'm ahead of time, so you'll never lose me
My lines are down, you can't call me,
As I fly around in space odyssey
My lines are down, you can't call me,
As I fly around in space odyssey
Ohh... Ah, ah ah...
Can I take a minute or two,
To introduce my point of view?
I need to spend some time with you,
There's nothing more new on the news
My lines are down, you can't call me,
As I fly around in space odyssey
My lines are down, you can't call me,
As I fly around in space odyssey
07 - Sweaty - Muscles
Peace love ecstasy
Peace love ecstasy
Peace love ecstasy
Unity respect
I'm getting tired and I'm sweaty,
But I still want to touch you if you let me
Because we hugged a few times
It was special
And we'll be working all night 'cause it's pumping
And you were special
My hand slipped into your hand,
And it was awesome
And you were special
Peace love ecstasy
Peace love ecstasy
Peace love ecstasy
Unity respect
I'm getting tired and I'm sweaty,
But I still want to touch you if you let me
Because we hugged a few times
It was special and we'll be working all night 'cause it's pumping
And you were special
My hand slipped into your hand,
And it was awesome
And you were special
08 - Metabolism - The Strokes
I want to be outrageous
But inside I know I'm plain
So plain, just plain
Always, in pain?
Silently obsessed with it
Just like anyone I guess
Tryin' for the perfect life
End up bein' in denial
I wanna be somebody
Wanna be somebody like you
Like you, like you, like you
Like you, instead of me
Silently obsessed with it
Just like anyone I guess
Tryin' for the perfect life
End up bein' in denial
