Packin' up, shackin' up's all you want to do!

Fleetwood Mac Go Your Own Way

If I was young, I'd flee this town
I'd bury my dreams underground
As did I, we drink to die, we drink tonight.

And if I could swim, I'd swim out to you in the ocean,
swim out to where you were floating in the dark.

and they hunt you, and they gut you, and you give in.

I wanna be your sledgehammer
Let there be no doubt about it.

Peter Gabriel Sledgehammer

I want to hold you in the Bible-black predawn
You're quite a quiet domino, bury me now.

Wilco, I Am Trying To Break Your Heart

I never meant to be the needle that broke your back
you were here, you were here, you were here, don't look back!

He war, he war, he will kill for you.

this is embarrassing, but...

Cut off from love, I didn't need the pain.
Once or twice was enough and it was all in vain
Time starts to pass, before you know it you're frozen

But nothing's greater than the rush that comes with your embrace
and in this world of loneliness I see your face
and everyone around my thinks that I'm going crazy
maybe, maybe.

Leona Lewis Bleeding Love (this is so embarrassing)

something filled up my heart with nothing
Someone told me not to cry
Now that I'm older
my heart's colder
And I can see that it's a lie.

Children wake up
Hold your mistake up
Before they turn the summer into dust.

If the children don't grow up
our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up

Arcade Fire Wake Up

Don't you know that I'll be around to guide you?
Through your weakest moments to leave them behind you
Returning nightmares only shadows
We'll cast some light and you'll be alright for now.

José González, Crosses

I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind.
Now all your love is wasted?
Then who the hell was I?
Now I'm breaking at the britches
And at the end of all your lines

Bon Iver Skinny Love

Come on baby, come on darling
Let me steal this moment from you now
Come on angel, come on come on darling,
Let's exchange the experience

And if I could
I'd make a deal with God
and I'd get him to swap our places

Kate Bush Running Up That Hill

You want me?
Well fucking well come and find me.
You want me?
Well come on and break the door down.

But it never made sense to them anyway
Could you imagine when they turned their backs
They were only scratchin their heads
Cause you simply deserve the best.
And I don't blame you.

Cat Power I Don't Blame You

I will pull your tangles out
In the back of your car I feel like
I have traveled nowhere
What will bring me home?
What will make me stay?

Maya and Matt Not Tonight

Lord, it's good to talk to you
Even sweeter than wine
Don't take the love light away
Cause I'm far away from home

Fleetwood Mac Honey Hi

Friday, February 27, 2009

Maybe one day soon it will all come out
How you dream about each other sometimes
With the memory of how you once gave up
But you made it through the troubled times

Dar Williams Troubled Times
This is the sound a phonograph makes
When I see them, when I hear them
I see visions of sharp precision
Overabundance, overindulgence
Tied together with rope and twine
Stuck together with paste and glue
Two old planks of knotty pine
And a couple of nails
Poked right on through

Dirty Projectors and David Byrne, Knotty Pine
I'm so far away and I just can't see you
I'm so far along and I just don't need you
I'm so ah alone so ah ah alone so ah alone so ah ah alone

Tegan and Sara Speak Slow

and every summer is a hot token to the cold, cold take of lust.
and every autumn singes with the business of sadness.

Bon Iver Bracket, W9
