Track listing
1. Seaside ~ The Kooks
"Do you want to go to the seaside?
I'm not trying to say that everybody wants to go
I fell in love at the seaside
I handled my charm with time and slight of hand "
2. New Shoes ~ Paolo Nutini
"Woke up late one Thursday, and I'm seeing stars as I'm rubbing my eyes
and i felt like there were two days missing as i focused on the time
and i made my way to the kitchen
but had to stop from the shock of what i found
a room full of my friends all dancing round and round
and i thought 'hello new shoes, bye bye blues'"
3. Sympathique ~ Pink Martini
"Je ne veux pas travailler,
je ne veux pas déjeuner,
je veux seulement l'oublier et puis je fume."
{translated}
"I don't want to work,
I don't want to lunch
I only want to forget and so I smoke. " {lyrics}
4. Natasha ~ Rufus Wainwright
"You walk alone in the valley of life
In the shadow of love under the trees of happiness"
5. In the Morning ~ Razorlight
"The boy can't help it- it's not his fault
Its just a dangerous, dangerous age."
6. Mad Girl's Love Song ~ Fisher (with a little help from Sylvia Plath)
"I close my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.(.....) I think I made you up inside my head."
7. Dear Prudence ~ The Beatles
"Dear Prudence let me see you smile.
Dear Prudence like a little child.
The clouds will be a daisy chain so let me see you smile again."
8. Wow ~ Snow Patrol
(For those of you not familiar with Skins; Wow is a word that Cassie says repeatedly. It's rather sweet, not at all annoying in a "zowie!" Captain Caveman way.)
"I noticed a change in the tone of your voice
It's so clear
My role in this mess
Is not something that I can be proud of
But it's all going to change"
9. I Want to Sing ~ Regina Spektor
"But Love's such a strange situation
full of frustration and anger and fear
Everything's tears
nobody hears
nobody's here, and nobody hears... "
10. Boy ~ The Magic Numbers
{Ok, so this song is a bit of a cop out. Really I thought that the song had a suitable Cassie "dreamy" quality rather than the lyrics relating in some way. I especially like the instrumental middle section which is like walking in a park on a sunny day. Ho hum.}
"Nothing lasts forever, if you had it all you'd leave."
11. Bliss ~ Muse
{jealousy of Michelle? Hmmm....}
"give me all the peace and joy in your mind"
12. Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk (reprise) ~ Rufus Wainwright
"If I should buy jellybeans
Have to eat them all in just one sitting
Everything it seems I like's a little bit sweeter
A little bit fatter, a little bit harmful for me.
And then there's those other things
Which for several reasons we won't mention
Everything about 'em is a little bit stranger, a little bit harder
A little bit deadly"
13. Strange ~ The Feeling
"You're undernourished, and unencouraged
And underrated, and unappreciated
And the world is turning in a different direction to us
Just look how far you've come"
14. What Ever Happened ~ The Strokes
"I'm waiting tell myself, life ain't chess
When no one comes in, and yes
You're alone
You don't miss me
I know"
{Prepare yourself now, it's going to get very sleepy from here on in... :D}
15. Hope there's Someone ~ Antony and the Johnsons
"Hope there's someone
Who'll set my heart free
Nice to hold when I'm tired"
16. Sleep ~ The Dandy Warhols
"If I could sleep forever, I could forget about everything."
17. My Funny Valentine ~ Rufus Wainwright
"My funny Valentine, sweet comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet, you're my favorite work of art"
18. Dream of Sheep ~ Kate Bush
"Like poppies heavy with seed
They take me deeper and deeper."
19. Lullaby ~ Pink Martini
(instrumental. Lotsa humming.)
bonus... She Moves in Her Own Way ~ The Kooks
"I was told that someday
You'd be on your way to better things
It's not about your make-up
Or how you try to shape up
To these tiresome paper dreams
Paper dreams honey"
