The loneliest people were the ones who always spoke the truth

Song: Kings Of Convenience - Misread

Album: Riot on an Empty Street (2004)

Label: Astralwerks

If you wanna be my friend
You want us to get along
Please do not expect me to
Wrap it up and keep it there
The observation I am doing could
Easily be understood
As cynical demeanour
But one of us misread...
And what do you know
It happened again

A friend is not a means
You utilize to get somewhere
Somehow I didn't notice
friendship is an end
What do you know
It happened again

How come no-one told me
All throughout history
The loneliest people
Were the ones who always spoke the truth
The ones who made a difference
By withstanding the indifference
I guess it's up to me now
Should I take that risk or just smile?

What do you know
It happened again
What do you know

It's too late to change your mind. You let loss be your guide...

Song: Broken Bells - The High Road

Album: Broken Bells (2009)

Label: Columbia

Broken Bells este compusa din Brian Burton (Danger Mouse) si James Mercer, solistul formatiei The Shines.

We're bound to wait all night
She's bound to run amok
Invested enough in it anyhow,
To each his own
The Garden is sorting out
She curls her lips on a bow
I don't know if you're dead or not
To anyone

Come on and get the minimum
Before you open up your eyes,
This army has so many heads
To analyze...
Come on and get your overdose
Collect it at the borderline
They want to get up in your head...

[Chorus]
Cause they know and so do I
The high road is hard to find
A detour in your new life
Tell all of your friends goodbye

The dawn to end all nights
That's all we hoped it was
A break from the warfare in your house
To each his own...
A soldier is bailing out
And curled his lips on the barrel
And I don't know if the dead can talk
To anyone...

Come on and get the minimum
Before you open up your eyes
This army has so many hands
Are you one of us?
Come on and get your overdose
Collect it at the borderline
And they want to get up in your head

[Chorus]
Cause they know and so do I
The high road is hard to find
A detour to your new life
Tell all of your friends goodbye

It's too late to change your mind
You let loss be your guide...

It's too late to change your mind
You let loss be your guide...

It's too late to change your mind
You let loss be your guide...

It's too late to change your mind
You let loss be your guide...

We're singing out of tune, but I still want to sing with you

Song: The Futureheads - Heartbeat Song

Album: The Chaos (2010)

Label: Nul Records

When we meet I listen to your heartbeat
I can hear the rhythm and the tone
Every time I listen to me heart
It's like a cartwheel in my head but my legs are made of lead

Your heartbeat song, it's good but it's not the one
We're singing out of tune, but I still want to sing with you

When we speak I find it hard to think straight
Especially when there's no one else around
When we touch it's impossible to concentrate
Bright lights everywhere, like I'm floating in the air

Your heartbeat song, it's good but it's not the one
We're singing out of tune, but I still want to sing with you

Your heartbeat song, it's good but it's not the one
We're singing out of tune, but I still want to sing with you
But I still want to sing with you

If you care, we can share sometime
If we spare ourselves, tonight

When we meet I listen to your heartbeat
I can hear the rhythm and the tone
Every time I listen to me heart
It's like a cartwheel in my head but my legs are made of lead

When we speak I find it hard to think straight
Especially when there's no one else around
When we touch its impossible to concentrate
Bright lights everywhere, like I'm floating in the air

Your heartbeat song, it's good but it's not the one
we're singing out of tune, but I still want to sing with you

Your heartbeat song, it's good but it's not the one
we're singing out of tune, but I still want to sing with you
Still want to sing with you
Still want to sing with you
I still want to sing with you

I was happier then with no mindset

Song: The Shins - New Slang

Album: Oh, Inverted World (2001)

Label: Sub Pop

Gold teeth and a curse for this town were all in my mouth.
Only, I don't know how they got out, dear.
Turn me back into the pet that I was when we met.
I was happier then with no mind-set.

And if you'da took to me like
A gull takes to the wind.
Well, I'da jumped from my tree
And I'da danced like the king of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives woulda fared well.

New slang when you notice the stripes, the dirt in your fries.
Hope it's right when you die, old and bony.
Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall,
Never shoulda called
But my head's to the wall and i'm lonely.

And if you'da took to me like
A gull takes to the wind.
Well, I'da jumped from my tree
And I'da danced like the king of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives woulda fared well.

God speed all the bakers at dawn may they all cut their thumbs,
And bleed into their buns 'til they melt away.

I'm looking in on the good life I might be doomed never to find.
Without a trust or flaming fields am I too dumb to refine?
And if you'da took to me like
Well I'da danced like the queen of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives woulda fared well.

I saw her dancin with the devil
And he was wearing my shoe
Black and white Jordan leathers
And she was looking for abuse
Now she looked just like heaven
But her mind reeked of hell
Now I know I shouldn't be telling
But I guess I guess if you know her well
She's the kind of girl
She can believe me when I say, she can

She's already ready there, and already there.

Now what the devil want
Believe the devil gonna get
He gonna stretch her out
Like a tape in a cassette
And when you see these kinda girls
They all look big as Fud
But the devil know the devil know
There is only one thing tonight she gonna suck
Cuz she wont no she cant
Believe me when I say
She cant
She's already there
She's already there

We got sixteen year olds acting like they forty year olds
Yo we need to do it and we need to re-clense the souls
I have an idea, lets take rich style high tronic system and we crush em out

Cuz she wont she cant
Believe me when I say
She's already there
She's already there.

What happens when you lose everything? You just start again. You start all over again

Song: Maximo Park - Apply Some Pressure

Album: A Certain Trigger (2005)

Label: Warp Records

You know that I would love to see you next year
I hope that I am still alive next year
You magnify the way I think about myself
before you came I rarely thought about myself

Behind your veil I found a body underneath
inside your head were things I never thought about
you know that I would love to see you next year
I hope that I am still alive next year

What's my view?
well how am I supposed to know
write a review
well how objective can I be
X2

You know that I would love to see you in that dress
I hope that I will live to see you undress
The every day is part of what consumes me
The hate I feel is part of what fuels me

I testify to having guilty feelings
I must confess, I'd like to be caught stealing
You know that I would love to see you in that dress*
I hope that I will live to see you undress**

What's my view?
well how am I supposed to know
write a review
well how objective can I be
X2

I like to wait to see how things turn out
If you apply some pressure
X2


What happens when you lose everything
you just start again
you start all over again
X2

I like to wait to see how things turn out
If you apply some pressure
X2

What happens when you lose everything
you just start again
you start all over again
X3

What happens when you lose some pressure
apply some pressure you lose some pressure
apply some pressure you lose some pressure
apply some pressure you lose some pressure
X2

You know that I would love to see you next year
I hope that I am still alive next year
You know that I would love to see you in that dress
i hope that i will live to see you undressed

Oh, I brought this girl into my house and then she told me to wait.
Oh, I get so angry when they leave me to wait.
She said, "The morning's almost here which means it's getting real late."
I said, "Baby, don't you worry 'cause this song can just wait."

I said, "1, 2, 3."
I just don't stop.
You want to stop me in the middle.
I want to stop from the top.
I said, "1, 2, 3."
I just don't stop for you.

'Cause I, I, I know it's over.
Some things I just know 'cause I'm older.
I, I, I know you don't want me but I just can't stand goodbyes.

Oh, you wanna talk to me 'bout nothin'.
Well, I wanna hear the radio.
Alright, now when it's one o'clock it's time to listen down and low.


I said, "1, 2, 3."
I just don't stop.
You want to stop me in the middle.
I want to stop from the top.
I said, "4, 5, 6."
You're callin' it quits.
I said, "Baby, don't you stop me now -- I can't resist."

'Cause I, I, I know it's over.
Some things I just know 'cause I'm older.
I, I, I know you don't want me but I just can't stand goodbyes.

And she goes, "Oh, oh oh oh oh oh."
And I reply, "Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh."

'Cause we both can see I know it's over.
Some things I just know 'cause I'm older.
I, I, I know you don't want me but I just can't stand goodbyes.

No, I can't stand goodbyes.

I think you're more than a terrified witness behind the arbitrary line

Song: Dirty Projectors - Cannibal Resource

Album: Bitte Orca (2009)

Label: Domino Records

Look around at everyone
Everyone looks alive and waiting
The wind is up, the stars out
The sun is calm, the light is fading
But we are

Still counting on cannibal resource
Ok, open your eyes
I think you're more than a terrified witness
Behind the arbitrary line

Can it ask a question?
Can it sing a melody?
Can it be interpreted?
Or is it more than what the eye can see?
Maybe not

Still counting on cannibal resource
Ok, open your eyes
I think you're more than a terrified witness
Behind the arbitrary line

I'm cyrin', I'm cryin'

Still counting on cannibal resource
Ok, open your eyes
I think you're more than a terrified witness
Behind the arbitrary line
The arbitrary line
The arbitrary line
The arbitrary line
