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

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

i am taffy stuck and tongue tied.
stutter shook and uptight.

i am covered in skin.
no one gets to come in.
pull me out from inside.
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.
i am fine i am fine.
i am fine.

i got my head checked
by a jumbo jet
it wasn't easy
but nothing is
no

woo-hoo
when i feel heavy-metal
and i'm pins and i'm needles
well, i lie and i'm easy
all the time but i am never sure
why i need you
pleased to meet you

i got my head down
when i was young
it's not my problem
it's not my problem

woo-hoo
when i feel heavy-metal
and i'm pins and i'm needles
well, i lie and i'm easy
all the time but i am never sure
why i need you
pleased to meet you

the kills - no wow

you wonder

you're livin' your life and you're down for the fight
and it's wrong or it's right, and you're aware of your might
you're flyin' that kite and you're shinin' that night
yeah you're shinin' that night, yeah you're shinin' and
you try but stop it
you try but stop it
you try but stop it
you try but stop it
you try but stop it
you try but stop it
you try, try, try

you're livin' your life and you're down for the fight
and it's wrong or it's right, and you're aware of your might
but you're shinin' that night and you're flyin' that kite
yeah you're flyin' that kite, yeah you're flyin' and
you try but stop it
you try but stop it
you try but stop it
you try but stop it
you try but stop it
you try but stop it
you try, try, try

and you wonder what's next
you've been put to the test
and you wonder what's next
and you wonder what's next
and you wonder what's next
and you wonder what's next

a chuva molha a minha roupa
os carros não param de gritar
convidando-me para morrer
eu procuro não olhar
desse eu brilho à minha estrela
não teria de me esconder
mas a chuva nas minhas mãos lembra-me que vou morrer
meu amor está perto
vejo-o correndo para mim
só que eu não sou certo
vejo-me correndo para o fim
vem morar na tua casa
o pobre nunca te viu ficar
chegas sempre com um dos pés pronto para não entrar

meu amor está perto
vejo-o correndo para mim
só que eu não sou certo
vejo-me correndo para o fim

meu amor está perto - manel cruz/foge foge bandido

i ache

don't know if i'll make it through this winter without you by my side
i waited for you so long while i traveled far and wide
convinced myself there's no one better, so how can i deny
your love, it's like a thorn into my side

my friends they understand me better but don't whisper goodnight
i want a lover and a sister, but we know that's not right
you used to listen to my music, i always wondered why
i wish i could pretend you make me try

i want the days to come, i want these sleepless nights to end
i lie here thinking how i lost you to all your stupid friends
you made me feel so foolish for the twenty-second time
your love might be the last time that i try

don't know if i'll make it through this winter without you on my own
i waited here for you forever, i can't believe you'd go
i may not have the answers, but i'd rather never know
your love was such a heavy, heavy blow

goodnight my love, you seemed so nice 'til i knew you better
now i can tell you're always thinking twice about what might be better
on the outside, there's no conscience, you're a victim of your cautiousness
you don't try, you just lie there hoping that someone will come to make it right

winter - the dodos
