Stacey Kent - You're Looking At Me

Stacey Kent - You're Looking At Me





Who had the boys turning hand springs?
Crazy to love her, claimed she?
Who could so misunderstand things?
You're looking at me

Who was so sure of her conquest?
Sure as a human could be?
Who wound up losing the contest?
You're looking at me
You're looking at me

Where is that girl
Who was certain her charms couldn't fail?
And where is that girl
Who believed every word of this ridiculous tale?

Who was so childishly flattered?
Thought she'd swept him off his feet
Who woke to find her dreams shattered?
Might I repeat? Might I repeat?
For you needn't strain your eyes
To see what I want you to see
That's right, you're looking at me

Cat Power - I Believe In You

Cat Power - I Believe In You




I feel like I'mma lose my life for this
I feel like I'mma have to fight for this
I feel motherfuckers they goin' say I'm wrong
I feel you're goin' get buck when you hear my song
I feel you don't even know how I feel
I feel if you hate me you got to get real
I feel like go to Texas and for me some brick
I feel the policeman making me sick
I feel like I could be the president
I feel like burning up their bodies to leave no evidence
I feel you don't even know how I feel
Respect my mind I'm just telling you how I feel

Do you feel like you could lose your life for this
Do you feel like you could fight for this
Do you feel like go to Texas and for me some brick
Do you feel the policeman I'm making you sick
Do you feel like you could be the president
Feel like burning up their bodies to leave no evidence
Do you feel like they don't even know how we feel
I feel that they hate us, we got to get real
Got to get real, real


Rupa & The April Fishes - Trouble

Rupa & The April Fishes - Trouble





well i've had a fine fine time
but now the moon and its strange light
have put a question on the table
and i know you know what i mean
i can see it in your eyes as they catch upon
something in me
oh that thing is trouble

oh trouble, yeah trouble, beautiful trouble
why don't you stay
Bi think that you should go
woah, woah

now don't you think that i don't find
everything about you so divine
but just one more moment here and
i'll be through

it's not your fault
and it's not mine
it's the moon and the sweet light
she brings tonight
oh my love, can't you see
she brings trouble

oh trouble, yeah trouble, beautiful trouble
the more i try to explain
the less i know

woah, woah, oh

(Instrumental)

well, it takes 1 to know one
and it takes 2 to tango
and it takes just a count to 3 to fall
out of time out of time
and the ground starts to dissolve
oh my love can't you see
i'm in trouble

oh trouble, yeah trouble, beautiful trouble
the more i try to explain
the less i know

yeah trouble, yeah trouble, sweet sweet trouble
where do i go i don't know
where do i go
woah, woah

Keaton Henson - Sarah Minor





And I know that there's friction
Between me and you,
I know that you're uncomfortable,
Believe me, I do
I know that it's hard for you to tell me the truth
But while we are doing so,
Sarah, I love you

And though your skin's sheet white
And your arms carry scars
Your hair isn't clean much,
Your lungs black with tar
And god, you love to argue,
You can't play guitar
But still, let me tell you
That I love who you are
Still let me tell you
That I love who you are

Love, young love
I hope you are well
At least we now both
Have a story to tell
Young love, I feel
You know me better than most
In spite of real distance, we'll always be close,
In spite of real distance, we'll always be close

Golden Brown was our soundtrack
A long time ago
We spent all our days in the lines
Outside shows
And I still remember this day,
A long time ago
I walked through the rain for you,
You said to "go home"

Young love, young love
I hope you are well
At least we now both
Have a story to tell
Young love, I feel
You know me better than most
In spite of real distance, we'll always be close,
In spite of real distance, we'll always be close



Muse - The Dark Side

Muse - The Dark Side





I have lived in darkness
For all my life, I've been pursued
You'd be afraid if you could feel my pain
And if you could see the things I am able to see

Break me out, break me out
Let me flee
Break me out, break me out
Set me free

I hail from the dark side
For all my life, I've been besieged
You'd be scared living with my despair
And if you could feel the things, I am able to feel

Break me out, break me out
Let me flee
Break me out, break me out
Set me free

Break me out, break me out
Let me flee
Break me out, break me out
Set me free
Save me from the dark side
Break me out, break me out
Set me free


Blind Pilot -Don't Doubt

Blind Pilot -Don't Doubt





Now you don't have a word to call this kind
Of the year made you new and beg it to turn you right
Two dead birds underneath the headlights
Every sound they ever made to call out they are alive
Every piece of me that breaks tryin' to keep from the sight
Of doubt

Don't you doubt
Everybody's seen some winter
Don't you take the dark way out
Don't you doubt
Even your breath is breathin' for another one
Don't you just take the dark way out


Thin wind ringin' in the silver tines
Yeah it took you by the throat but it wasn't the killin' kind
Now you don't tell it like you used to
Every day left in the dark is gonna come back to you
Every hope left in your heart is waitin' on what you'll do
With doubt

Don't you doubt
Everybody's seen some winter
Don't you take the dark way out
Don't you doubt
Even your blood is beatin' for another one
Don't you just take the dark way out


Don't you doubt
Doubt
The reasons are dead and they're growin' in the ground so why does it give why'd it take
Why to've been kissed
Why be mean why be anything
Just be the man, be the child, be the cold midnight soaked in the bones of this town
In the breath in the pink
In the honey taken from that green thing given sweet
In the cold in the pour
In the want in the wantin' the sound even your own body knows
All there is
See the gem
Your hands are lined with all that they ever have

Iron & Wine - Fever Dream

Iron & Wine - Fever Dream





Some days her shape in the doorway
Will speak to me
A bird’s wing on the window
Sometimes I’ll hear her when she’s sleeping
Her fever dream
A language on her face

I want your flowers like babies want God’s love
Or maybe as sure as tomorrow will come

Some days, like rain on the doorstep
She’ll cover me
With grace in all she offers
Sometimes I'd like just to ask her
What honest words
She can’t afford to say, like

I want your flowers like babies want God’s love
Or maybe as sure as tomorrow will come

 

Blind Pilot - Seeing Is Believing

Blind Pilot - Seeing Is Believing





Seeing is believing
How many moons has that darkness hid?
All my good friends
All my dead ends
Some to think and some to forgive

Oh my father,
I've got your fever
I'm holding my breath in
Your wishing well
This is just time's thirst
This is just everything hurts
You feel your own breath
The rest is hard to tell

It's gonna lift your eyes up
All you haven't seen just yet
All you're holding to be
It's gonna lift, you rise up
No, it's not a lot to hold
But this life is gonna make you believe
Oh I know it will

Seeing is believing
How many moons has our own darkness hid?
Hear the train brakes
Hear all your old voices shake
As you are saying it right now, just like it is

It's gonna lift your eyes up
Al you haven't seen just yet
All you're holding to be
It's gonna lift, you rise up
No, it's not a lot to hold
But this life is gonna make you believe
Oh, this life is gonna make you believe
Oh, this life is gonna make you believe

Oh, I know it will, I know it will, I know it will.
