"The Absence of God," Rilo Kiley
And Morgan says maybe love won't let you down --
all of your failures are training grounds,
and just as your back's turned, you'll be surprised, she says,
as your solitude subsides.
And Mike, I'll teach you how to swim
if you turn the bad in me into good again.
"Anthems for a Seventeen Year Old Girl," Broken Social Scene
Used to be one of the rotten ones
and I liked you for that.
Now you're all gone, got your make up on
and you're not coming back.
"Be Like Water," Sarah Fimm
Don't chase girls, don't get too close,
don't get caught, don't get spent, don't get bought,
don't sell out, don't get bent, don't fuck your best friend.
If everything is just the way it should be,
why am I, why am I still hungry?
"Beautiful Dirty Rich," Lady Gaga
Daddy, I'm so sorry, I'm so s-s-sorry, yeah,
we just like to party, like to p-p-party, yeah.
Bang bang, we're beautiful and dirty rich.
"Boring," the Pierces
Saturday night. We look alright.
We're going out. Boring.
Paris, France. London town. NYC.
Boring.
"The Boys Are Too Refined," the Hush Sound
And if the timing is right to sneak off into the night,
I'd let myself be taken just for the thrill.
And if I'm given the chance to be a doll in his hands,
I will be sure we shake the mountains while we dance.
"Circus," Britney Spears
There's only two types of people in the world:
the ones that entertain and the ones that observe.
Well, baby, I'm a put on a show kind of girl.
"Cities in Dust," Junkie XL
Water was running, children were running,
you were running out of time.
Oh, all your cities lie in dust.
"Clamour for Glamour," the Ark
People here in your neighbourhood
Act real cool but they dance no good
I don't care what the others say
When I've found a new game to play
"Echoing Pixels," Neimo
I might just fall in love with the world,
with you and with the world.
"The Fame," Lady Gaga
I can't help myself: I'm addicted to a life of material.
It's some kind of joke, I'm obssessively opposed to the difficult.
All we care about is runway models, Cadillacs and liquor bottles.
Give me something -- I wanna be retro-glamour, Hollywood,
yes, we live for
the fame, fame, doin' it for the fame, fame,
'cause we wanna live the life of the rich and famous.
Fame, fame, doin' it for the fame, fame,
'cause we got a taste for champagne and endless fortune.
"Goodnight to the West Side," Joe Purdy
She draws a line in the sand with her feet
and there's an old man walking in the middle of the street.
As the sun goes down, well, she calls me a fool
'cause I'm still sitting here in my room.
"Hey There, Delilah," the Plain White T's
Hey there, Delilah, what's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away, but girl,
tonight you look so pretty, yes, you do.
Times Square can't shine as bright as you,
I swear it's true.
Hey there, Delilah, don't you worry about the distance,
I'm right there if you get lonely.
"I'm Like a Lawyer with the Way I'm Always Trying to Get You Off," Fall Out Boy
We're the new face of failure,
prettier and younger but not any better off,
bulletproof and loneliness at best.
"I Like a Boy in Uniform (School Uniform)," the Pipettes
And now I know that all it is,
there's plenty more that I can kiss.
"Let's Misbehave," Elvis Costello
If you want a future, darling,
why don't you get a past?
...
There's something wild about you, child,
and so contagious -- let's be outrageous,
let's misbehave.
"Love Today," Mika
I've been trying for so long
Fightin' tears just to carry on
But now, but now it's gone away
Hey girl, why can't you carry on?
Is it cause you're just like your mother?
"Marching Bands of Manhattan," Death Cab for Cutie
If I could open my arms and span the length of the isle of Manhattan,
I'd bring it to where you are,
making a lake of the East River and Hudson.
"Natural's Not in It," Gang of Four
The problem of leisure, what to do for pleasure?
Ideal love a new purchase,
a market of the senses.
Dream of the perfect life,
economic circumstances.
The body is good business,
sell out, maintain the interest.
"Neon," John Mayer
She comes and goes
and comes and goes like no one can.
She comes and goes and no one knows
she's slipping through my hands.
She's always buzzing just like neon, neon, neon, neon.
Who knows how long, how long, how long
she can go before she burns away?
"Paparazzi," Lady Gaga
Not sure what it means,
but this photo of us, it don't have a price,
ready for those flashing lights.
"Patience," Nerina Pallot
Been good, been bad, got worse, got better.
I feel I know myself when I'm looking in the mirror.
Been hurt, been numb, I'm scarred not bitter --
I am an angel with the knowledge of a sinner.
What do I do? How should I be?
When I look at myself, I can only be me.
"Photograph," Air
I would like to take your photograph.
"Pretty Young Thing," Blondefire
Time stops
when you walk into the room,
little girl -- guess it's standing still for you.
In the city, gonna dance till morning light.
Little girl, must be doing something right.
Pretty young thing, you know you own the room.
You're a beautiful girl -- you make his whole world move.
She's a pretty young thing...
You know they're watching you.
"Secret," the Pierces
Got a secret -- can you keep it? Swear this one you'll save.
Better lock it in your pocket -- taking this one to the grave.
If I show you then I know you won't tell what I said,
'cause two can keep a secret if one of them is dead.
"Somebody's Baby," Phantom Planet
I heard her talking with her friend
when she thought nobody else was around.
She said she's gotta be somebody's baby, she must be somebody's baby,
'cause when the cars and the signs and the street lights
light up the town, she's gotta be somebody's baby,
she must be somebody's baby.
"Sour Cherry," the Kills
Shout when you wanna get off the ride,
'cause you cross my mind, cross my mind.
I'm a penny in a diamond mine.
We could be movers, we could be shakers;
if we could just shake something out of the blue
we could get off the ride.
"Stand Still, Look Pretty," the Wreckers
But people have problems that are worse than mine --
I don't want you to think I'm complaining all the time.
And I hate the way you look at me;
I have to say, I wish I could start over.
I am slowly falling apart.
I wish you'd take a walk in my shoes for a start
and you might think it's easy being me:
you just stand still look pretty.
"Uptown Girl," Billy Joel
She's been living in her white bread world
as long as anyone with hot blood can,
and now she's looking for a downtown man.
"URA Fever," the Kills
Dancing on the legs of a newborn pony,
left, right, left, right, keep it up, son.
Go ahead and have her, go ahead and leave her,
you only ever had her when you were a fever.
"When You Were Young," the Killers
You sit there in your heartache,
waiting on some beautiful boy to,
to save you from your old ways.
"Young Folks," Peter Bjorn and John, featuring Victoria Bergman
If I told you things I did before,
told you how I used to be,
would you go along with someone like me?
If you knew my story word for word,
had all of my history,
would you go along with someone like me?
"The Absence of God," Rilo Kiley
