Abel - The National
Abel, come on, give me the keys, man
Everything has all gone down wrong

I see water on the bridge
Well, you better hold my hand through this
Turn around, turn around, take me back
I can't calm down

My mind's not right

Abel, come on, give me a reason
I am not as bright as I could be
Abel, come on, take me with you
Everything has all gone down wrong

You turn me good and god-fearing
Well, tell me what am I supposed to do with that
I'm missing something
Yeah, I'm missing something
My mind's gone loose inside its shell


Deuteronomy 2:10 - The Mountain Goats

The sun above me and a concrete floor below
Scratch at the chain links maybe bare my teeth for show
Fed twice a day I don't go hungry anymore
Feel in my bones just what the future has in store
I pace in circles so the camera will see
Look hard at my stripes, there'll be no more after me

I have no fear of anyone I'm dumb and wild and free
I am a flightless bird and there'll be no more after me

I'm all alone here as I try my tiny song
Claim my place beneath the sky but i won't be here for long
I sang all night the moon shone on me through the trees
No brothers left and there'll be no more after me


Sweet Dreams, Sweet Cheeks - Los Campesinos!

When the smaller picture
is the same as the bigger picture
you know that you're fucked
And you're trading paper cuts for splinters
you're out of luck

And it hits as hard as a blow to the head
or a smash to the skull or a knee to your chest
And sweet dreams sweet cheeks
oh tomorrow oh tomorrow oh tomorrow

All these mercy killings have got my conscience spilling over (We've paid off the judges and we're taking advantage)
and the buildings ornate but its lacking in soul and character. (pleading our defence in binary and smiley apology montage.)
We're burning five story buildings laying man traps at the fire exits, (Like dignity is equal to desperation and self-effacement)
playing feedback over tannoy systems. (We're holding on to our own grandeur with careful compliment placement)
You look desperate, you look pathetic.

One blink for yes, two blinks for no.
Sweet Dreams sweet cheeks we leave alone

We Are All Accelerated Readers - Los Campesinos!

You should have built a wall, not a bridge
(Since we became accelerated readers, we never leave the house)
You should have built a wall, not a bridge


My Year In Lists - Los Campesinos!

Nothing says "I miss you" quite like war poetry you carved in your door with a Stanley knife

My year in lists
Stomping on your fingers as you're clinging on to the abyss
So put on every winter coat that you've owned since '98
And every midnight sees the countdown to another awful day

I cherish with fondness the day (before) I met you
I cherish with fondness the day (before) I met you
I cherish with fondness the day (before) I met you

On your request, I compile a list
Of my top five resolutions for this year (one!)
I declined 'cause I decided that I (two!)
Do not believe in the new year anymore (three!)
And you must confess that at times like these
Hopefulness is tantamount to hopelessness (four!)
And I accept that it's time for a change but not in
Places like this with people like these (five! five! five! five! five!)


Can't Stand Me Now - The Libertines

An ending fitting for the start
You twist and tore our love apart
Your light fingers threw the dark
That shattered the lamp and into darkness cast us

No, you've got it the wrong way round
You shut me up, and blamed it on the brown
Cornered the boy kicked out at the world
The world kicked back a lot fuckin' harder now

I know you lie
All you do is make me cry
All these words they ain't true

I can't take me anywhere, I can take you anywhere
You can't take me anywhere, I will take you anywhere
I'll take you anywhere you want to go

Oh, you can't stand me, no you can't stand me now


Bambi - Tokyo Police Club

I wanna tell you there's a really good reason
Why I came home wasted in the middle of the night
A tiny kingdom at the bottom of the trees
Where I was always a winner and I was usually right

Oh, you can watch it when you get a bit older
But for now in the bad bits, I should cover your eyes
She painted pictures with the tips of her fingers
Sewing buttons to Bambi, tying strings to a kite

Turning into black and white
Underneath the swinging lights
Buried awake
But I still got my stripes


Bloodbuzz Ohio - The National

I never thought about love when I thought about home

I'll rest my eyes till the fevers outta me
I'll rest my eyes to the rivers in the sea

I was carried to Ohio in a swarm of bees
I'll never marry but Ohio don't remember me
