beth orton - don't need a reason



"
have you ever seen a sign that
upon a time, there were angels
you won't lose track 'cause
upon their backs feel the weight of wings

why'd they fall, it's hard to tell
but some things you can buy yourself

yeah we only hurt the ones we love
while, we don't need a reason
only care for the thing we deserve
and that's something to believe in

i think i've seen a sign but it's a very fine line
if you want it all
and don't lose track, upon my back
there's no weight of wings

when they shine, it's hard to say
but some things never fade away

and we only hurt the ones we love
while, we don't need a reason
only care for the thing we deserve
like something to believe in

so i've been calling angels down to earth
and i don't need a reason
calling angels down to earth
cause i believe we need them...

yeah we only hurt the ones we love
while, we don't need a reason
you're gonna get all that you deserve
and all that you believe in

that you believe in
do you need them?
if you need them
do you know?
do you need them?
if you need them
who believes them?
do you know?
do you know?

such a short time...

"
crush a bit, little bit, roll it up, take a hit
feelin’ lit feelin’ light, 2 am summer night.

rollin the midwest side and out livin’ my life getting’ out dreams

if i fall if i die know i lived it to the fullest
if i fall if i die know i lived and missed some bullets

i'll be fine once i get it, yeah
i'll be good.

tell me what you know about dreamin’ dreamin’
you don't really know about nothin’ nothin’
tell me what you know about them night terrors every night
5 am, cold sweats wakin’ up to the sky
tell me what you know about dreams, dreams
tell me what you know about night terrors, nothin’
you don't really care about the trials of tomorrow
rather lay awake in a bed full of sorrow

i'm on the pursuit of happiness and i know everything that shine ain't always gonna be gold
i'll be fine once i get it, yeah
i'll be good.

i'm on the pursuit of happiness.

lcd soundsystem - all my friends



"
that's how it starts
we go back to your house
we check the charts
and start to figure it out

and if it's crowded, all the better
because we know we're gonna be up late
but if you're worried about the weather
then you picked the wrong place to stay
that's how it starts

and so it starts
you switch the engine on
we set controls for the heart of the sun
one of the ways we show our age

and if the sun comes up, if the sun comes up, if the sun comes up
and i still don't wanna stagger home
then it's the memory of our betters
that are keeping us on our feet

you spent the first five years trying to get with the plan
and the next five years trying to be with your friends again

you're talking 45 turns just as fast as you can
teah, i know it gets tired, but it's better when we pretend

it comes apart
the way it does in bad films
except in parts
when the moral kicks in

though when we're running out of the drugs
and the conversation's winding away
i wouldn't trade one stupid decision
for another five years of life

you drop the first ten years just as fast as you can
and the next ten people who are trying to be polite
when you're blowing eighty-five days in the middle of france
yeah, i know it gets tired only where are your friends tonight?

and to tell the truth
oh, this could be the last time
so here we go
like a sales force into the night

and if i made a fool, if i made a fool, if i made a fool
on the road, there's always this
and if i'm sewn into submission
i can still come home to this

and with a face like a dad and a laughable stand
you can sleep on the plane or review what you said
when you're drunk and the kids leave impossible tasks
you think over and over, "hey, i'm finally dead."

oh, if the trip and the plan come apart in your hand
tou look contorted on yourself your ridiculous prop
you forgot what you meant when you read what you said
and you always knew you were tired, but then
where are your friends tonight?

where are your friends tonight?
where are your friends tonight?

if i could see all my friends tonight
if i could see all my friends tonight
if i could see all my friends tonight
if i could see all my friends tonight

mgmt - kids



"
you were a child
crawling on your knees toward it
making momma so proud
but your voice is too loud
we like to watch you laughing
you pick the insects off plants
no time to think of consequences

control yourself
take only what you need from it
a family of trees wanting to be haunted
control yourself
take only what you need from it
a family of trees wanting to be haunted

the water is warm
but it's sending me shivers
a baby is born
crying out for attention
memories fade
like looking through a fogged mirror
decisions too
decisions are made and not bought
but i thought this wouldn't hurt a lot
i guess not

i am folded and unfolded and unfolding.

i am colorblind.
coffee black and egg white.
pull me out from inside.
i am ready i am ready.
