"Young Folks", by Peter Bjorn & John, featuring Victoria Bergsman

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

i did before and had my share
it didn't lead nowhere
i would go along with someone like you
it doesn't matter what you did
who you were hanging with
we could stick around and see this night through

and we don't care about the young folks
talkin' bout the young style
and we don't care about the old folks
talkin' 'bout the old style too
and we don't care about our own folks
talkin' 'bout our own stuff
all we care about is talking
talking only me and you

usually when things has gone this far
people tend to disappear
no one would surprise me unless you do

i can tell there's something goin' on
hours seem to disappear
everyone is leaving i'm still with you

it doesn't matter what we do
where we are going to
we can stick around and see this night through

and we don't care about the young folks
talkin' bout the young style
and we don't care about the old folks
talkin' 'bout the old style too
and we don't care about our own folks
talkin' 'bout our own stuff
all we care about is talking
talking only me and you

and we don't care about the young folks
talkin' bout the young style
and we don't care about the old folks
talkin' 'bout the old style too
and we don't care about our own folks
talkin' 'bout our own stuff
all we care about is talking
talking only me and you
(repeat)
talking only me and you

talking only me and you
talking only me and you
 
The Ballad Of Robert Moore And Betty Coltrane

There was a thick set man with frog eyes
who was standing by the door
and a little bald man with wing-nut ears
was waiting in the car
Well Robert Moore passed the frog-eyed man
as he walked into the bar,
and Betty Coltrane she jumped under her table.

"What's your pleasure?" asked the barman
he had a face like boiled meat
"There's a girl called Betty Coltrane
that I have come to see"
"But I ain't seen that girl 'round here
for more than a week"
and Betty Coltrane she hid beneath the table.
Well, then in came a sailior with
mermaids tattooed on his arms,
Followed by the man with the wing-nut ears
who was waitin' in the car
Well, Robert Moore sensed trouble,
he'd seen it comin' from afar
and Betty Coltrain she gasped beneath the table.

Well, the sailor said "I'm looking for my wife,
they call her Betty Coltrain!"
The frog-eyed man said "That can't be;
that's my wife's maiden name."
And the man with the wing-nut ears said,
"Hey, I married her back in Spain!"
and Betty Coltrain crossed herself beneath the table.

Well, Robert Moore stepped up and said
"That woman is my wife."
and he drew a silver pistol
and a wicked bowie knife;
And he shot the man with the wing-nut ears
straight between the eyes
and Betty Coltrain, she moaned under the table.

The frog-eyed man jumped at Robert Moore,
who stabbed him in the chest
and as Mister Frog-eyes died he said
"Betty, your the girl that I loved best!"
The sailor pulled a razor,
Robert blasted it to bits
"And Betty, I know you're under the table."

"Well have no fear," said Robert Moore,
"I do not want to hurt you!"
"Never a woman did'na love me
half as much as you.
You are the blessed' sun, girl
and you are the sacred moon."
and Betty shot his legs out from under the table!

Well, Robert Moore went down heavy
with a crash upon the floor
and over to his trashin' body
Betty Coltrain she did crawl.
She put the gun to the back of head
and pulled the trigger once more
and blew his brains out all over the table!

Well Betty stood up and shook her head
and waved the smoke away.
Said, "I'm sorry Mr Barman
to leave your place this way."
As she emptied out their wallets she said,
"I'll collect my severence pay."
and then she winked and threw a dollar on the table.
 
"The Gift" by Angels & Airwaves

There's a strangest excitement today
If you're awake then you're welcome to hear
I've got a gift and it blew me a way
From the far eastern sea straight to here
Oh God I feel like I'm in for it now
Its like the rush has gone straight to my brain
But my voice is as lonely as loud
As I whisper a joy of this pain

And suddenly
You've done it all
You won me over
In no time at all

And now I'll stop the storm if it rains
I'll light a path far from here
I'll make your fear melt away
And the world we know disappear

If you ask I will do what you say
All we have is this night to get through
With the cheeks to the smile you're only
You left me all up in arms and confused
Oh God I feel like I'm in for it now
And how this kiss will be one roughly vague
I swear I'll melt if you touch me at all
But then I'll ask you to do it again, and again

And suddenly
You've done it all
You won me over
In no time at all

And now I'll stop the storm if it rains
I'll light a path far from here
I'll make your fear melt away
And the world we know disappear
I'll stop the storm if it rains
I'll light a path far from here
I'll make your fear melt away
And the world we know disappear

Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, now
Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, now
Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, now
Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, now

And now, I'll stop the storm if it rains
I'll light a path far from here
I'll make your fear melt away
And the world we know disappear
I'll stop the storm if it rains
I'll light a path far from here
I'll make your fear melt away
And the world we know disappear.

Make the world we know disappear.
Make the world we know disappear.

Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, now
Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, now
Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, now
Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, now
 
THE THE - THIS IS THE DAY

Well... you didnt wake up this morning,
cause you didnt go to bed.
You were watching the whites of your eyes turn red

The calendar on your wall -- is ticking -- the days off.

You've been reading some old letters.
You smile and think how much you've changed.
All the money in the world couldnt buy back those days.

You pull back the curtains, and the sun burns into your eyes.
You watch a plane flying across a clear blue sky.
This is the day -- your life will surely change.
This is the day -- when things fall into place.

You could've done anything, if you'd wanted.
And all your friends and family think that you're lucky.
But the side of you they'll never see
Is when youre left alone with the memories
That hold your life together like -- glue

You pull back the curtains, and the sun burns into your eyes.
You watch a plane flying across a clear blue sky.
This is the day -- your life will surely change.
This is the day -- when things fall into place.

This is the day -- your life will surely change.

"Believe" by The Bravery

The faces all around me they don't smile they just crack
Waiting for our ship to come but our ships not coming back
We do our time like pennies in a jar
What are we saving for [x2]

There's a smell of stale fear that's reeking from our skins.
The drinking never stops because the drinks absolve our sins
We sit and grow our roots into the floor
But what are we waiting for? [x2]

[chorus:]
So give me something to believe
Cause I am living just to breathe
And I need something more
To keep on breathing for
So give me something to believe

Something's always coming you can hear it in the ground
It swells into the air
With the rising
Rising sound
And never comes but shakes the boards and rattles all the doors
What are we waiting for [x2]

[chorus]

I am hiding from some beast
But the beast was always here
Watching without eyes
Because the beast is just my fear
That I am just nothing
Now its just what I've become
What am I waiting for
Its already done

Oh
 
Nick Cave - A Box For Black Paul
Who'll build a box for black paul?
ah'm enquirin on behalf of his soul
ah'd be beholdin to ya all
for a lil information, just a little indication
just who'll dig the hole?
when ya done ransackin' his room
grabbin any damn thing that shines,
throw the scraps down on the street
like all his books and his notes.
all his books and his notes and
all the junk that he wrote
the whole ****en lot right up in smoke
ain't there nuthin sacred anymore
won't someone will build a box for black paul?
and their shootin off his guns
and their shootin off their mouths
saying 'fud with us ... and die!'
'fud with us ... and die!'
(let's see that rat of fear go scuttle in their skulls)
'cover that eye! cover that frozen eye!'

black-puppet, in a heap up against the stoning-wall
black-puppet, go to sleep, ma-ma won't scold ya anymore

armies of ants, wade up the lil red streams
they're headin for the mother-pool
o lord, it's cruel! o man it's hot! o man it's hot and
and some of them ants they just climb to the spot
who threw the first stone at black paul?

'don't ask us', say the critics and the hacks
the pen-pushers and the quacks
'we jes cum to git dah facks!'
'we jes cum to git dah facks!'
hey, hey, hey, hey...

here is the hammer, that built the scaffold,
and built the box...
here is the shovel, that dug the hole,
in this ground of rocks...
and here is the pile of stones!
and for each one planted, god only knows,
a blood-rose grown...
these are the true demon-flowers!
these are the true demon-flowers!
stand back everyone! blood-black everyone!

who'll build a box for black paul?
who'll carry it up the hill?

'not i', said the widow, adjusting her veil
'ah will not drive the nail
or cart his puppet-body home,
for ah done that one hundred times before,
yeah! ah done that one hundred times or more,
and why should ah dress his wounds?
when he has wounded my dress, nightly,
right across the floor'

who'll build a box for black paul?
who'll carry it up the hill?
who'll bury it in the black-soil?
and from the woods and the thickets
come the ghosts of his victims
'we love you!'
'ah love you!'
'and this will not hurt a bit,
outta my eyes was your rise to full glory
spring up from the corpse of life
we'll go up, up, up, up, up into death
up, up, up, up, inhale its breath
o yes, death favours those that favor death'

here is the stone, and this is the inscription it bare:
'below lies black paul, under the upper...
but above and beyond the surface-flat-fall there.'

and all the angels come on down,
and all you men and women crowd around
and all the old widows weeping into their skurts
and all the lil gals and the lil boys
and the scribes with their pens poised
all the hullaballoo, all the noise
all the hullaballoo, all the noise
all the hullaballoo, all of the noise
clears his throat of black blood
black paul singin like a lonely boy...

we-e-e-ll, ah have cried uh thousand tears
ah've cried uh thousand tears, its true
and the next stormy night you know,
that ah'm still cryin them for you
well, ah had a gal she was so sweet,
red dress, and long red hair hangin down
and heaven jus ain't heaven
without that lil girl hangin round
well, ya know ah've beeen a bad-man
and lord knows ah done some good things too
but ah confess, my soul will never rest
until you've, until you've built
until you've built a box for my gal, too.
my gal, too
 
Photograph by Air

I would like to own your photograph
The angels cry to have your photograph

As if you were awfully made for life
As fortune favor fools like candle light

I would like to own your autograph
The angels fight to own your photograph

But you reckon on the photograph
Look at you provision on the night
 
White Lies-Death

i love the feeling when we lift up
watching the world so small below
i love the dreaming when i think of
the safety in the clouds out my window
i wonder what keeps us so high up
could there be a love beneath these wings
if we suddenly fall should i scream out
or keep very quite and cling to my mouth as i'm crying
so frightened of dying
relax yes i'm trying
this fears got a hold on me

yes, this fears got a hold on me

i love the quite of the night time
when the sun in the deathly sea
i can feel my heart beating as i speed from
then sense of time catching up with me
the sky set out like a pathway
but who decides which path we take
as people drift into a dream world
i close my eyes as my hands shake and when i see a new day
who's driving this anyway
i picture my own grave
cause fears got a hold on me

yes this fears got a hold on me

Floating neither up or down i wonder when i'll hit the ground
well the earth beneath my body shake
and cast your sleeping hearts awake
could it tremble stars from moon light skies
could it drag a tear from your cold eyes
i live on the right side i sleep in the left
that's why everything's got to be love or death

yes this fears got a hold on me​
 
Elliott Smith - Angeles

Someone's always coming around here trailing some new kill
Says I seen your picture on a hundred dollar bill
And what's a game of chance to you, to him is one
Of real skill
So glad to meet you
Angeles
Picking up the ticket shows there's money to be made
Go on and lose the gamble that's the history of the trade
Did you add up all the cards left to play to zero
And sign up with evil
Angeles
Don't start me trying now u-huh u-huh u-huh
Cause I'm all over it
Angeles
I could make you satisfied in everything you do
All your 'secret wishes' could right now be coming true
And be forever with my poison arms around you
No one's gonna fool around with us
No one's gonna fool around with us
So glad to meet you
Angeles
 
I'm so surprised that I haven't seen any beatles lyrics....

oh well, here goes....

Song For You-Alexi Murdoch

So today, I wrote a song for you
Cause a day can get so long
And I know it's hard to make it through
When you say something's wrong

So I'm trying to put it right
Cause I want to love you with my heart
All this trying has made me tired
And I don't know even where to start
Maybe that's a start

Cause you know it's a simple game
That you play filling up your head with rain
And you know you were hiding from your pain
In the way
In the way you say your name

And I see you hiding your face in your hands
Flying so you won't land
You think no one understands
No one understands

So you hunch your shoulders
And you shake your head
And your throat is aching
But you swear
No one hurts you
Nothing could be said
Anyway, you're not here enough to care

And you're so tired
You don't sleep at night
As your heart is trying to mend
You keep it quiet
But you think you might disappear
Before the end...

And it's strange that you cannot find
Any strength to even try
To find a voice to speak your mind
When all you wanna do is cry
Well, maybe you should cry

And I see you hiding your face in your hands
Talking about faraway lands
You think no one understands
Listen to my hands

And all of this life moves around you
For all that you claim you're standing still
You are moving too
You are moving too
You are moving too

I'll remember you​
 
"Rockstar" by Prima J

Nickelback - saving me

Prison gates won't open up for me
On these hands and knees I'm crawlin'
Oh, I reach for you
Well I'm terrified of these four walls
These iron bars can't hold my soul in
All I need is you
Come please I'm callin'
And oh I scream for you
Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin'

[Chorus:]
Show me what it's like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I'll show you what I can be
Say it for me
Say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth saving me

Heaven's gates won't open up for me
With these broken wings I'm fallin'
And all I see is you
These city walls ain't got no love for me
I'm on the ledge of the eighteenth story
And oh I scream for you
Come please I'm callin'
And all I need from you
Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin'

[Chorus]

Hurry I'm fallin'

All I need is you
Come please I'm callin'
And oh, I scream for you
Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin', I'm fallin'
