Come sail your ships around me

Song: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - The Ship Song
Album: The Good Son (1990)
Label: Mute Records

Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around

Come loose your dogs upon me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
Every time you come around

We talk about it all night long
We define our moral ground
But when I crawl into your arms
Everything comes tumbling down

Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around

Your face has fallen sad now
For you know the time is nigh
When I must remove your wings
And you, you must try to fly

Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around

Come loose your dogs upon me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
Every time you come around

Wrap yourself around me

Song: The Grates - Turn Me On
Album: Secret Rituals (2011)


It all started long ago, we have staples deep they go, to an pasture vivid
Green, to a slow moving stream.

I will have you justify, drawing on your baby teeth, swing me lightly start
My fire, I will roar.

Wrap yourself around me, do it just define me, do it to ignite me, do it as
A friend. Anyway you want to, anyway you need to, I can hold my breath,
Turn me on, turn me on.

Crawl inside your ancient eyes, feel your power it's a gift, swing me
Gently light my fire, I will grow.

Wrap yourself around me, do it justify me, do it to ignite me, do it as a
Friend. anyway you want to, anyway you need to, I can skew it backwards,
Turn me on, turn me on.

Turn me on...

Don't ask me how you're supposed to feel

Song: Tame Impala - Solitude Is Bliss
Album: Innerspeaker (2010)
Label: Modular Recordings (2010)

Cracks in the pavement underneath my shoe
I care less and less about and less about you
No one else around to look at me
So I can look at my shadow as much as I please

All the kicks that I can't compare to
Making friends like you're all supposed to

You will never come close to how I feel
You will never come close to how I feel

Space around me where my soul can breathe
I've got body that my mind can leave
Nothing else matters, I don't care what I miss
Company's okay
Solitude is bliss

There's a party in my head and no one is invited

And you will never come close to how I feel
You will never come close to how I feel

Movement doesn't flow
Quite like it does when I'm alone
I'll be the one who's free
You and all your friends
Can watch me, today

Don't ask me how you're supposed to feel

You will never come close to how I feel
You will never come close to how I feel
You will never come close to how I feel
You will never come close to how I fee

Whatever it is it's mine
