Adam, can you be clever under pressure?
(The answer is...yes)
You've got a pretty smile though.


Heart and soul Baby
There's no goal
Turn the lights on bright
You're a rock and roll star

Feel my love
Coming from the heavens above
When my eyes meet your eyes
You know it's true

Baby come dance with me
Baby come dance with me-ee
On tv at the tv station

Baby come dance with me
Baby come dance with me-ee
On tv at the tv station

You are lost
and I'm at home
And nobody wants to be here alone

Ooo baby's in mint condition
Man I'm doin' some dirty wishin'
Let's both get on that rocket to the stars

Baby come dance with me
Baby come dance with me-ee
On tv at the tv station

Baby come dance with me
Baby come dance with me-ee
On tv at the tv station

Your wisdom is all that I need

Put your dreams away for now
I won’t see you for some time
I am lost in my mind
I get lost in my mind

Momma once told me
You’re already home where you feel love
I am lost in my mind
I get lost in my mind

Oh my brother
Your wisdom is all that I need
Oh my brother
Don’t you worry ‘bout me
Don’t you worry
Don’t you worry
Don’t worry about me

How’s that bricklayin’ coming
How’s your engine running
Is that bridge getting built
Are your hands getting filled

Won’t you tell me my brother
Cause there are stars up above
We can start moving forward

How’s that bricklayin’ coming
How’s your engine running
Is that bridge getting built
Are your hands getting filled

Won’t you tell me my brother
Cause there are stars up above
We can start moving forward

Lost in my mind
Lost in my mind
Oh I get Lost in my mind
Lost, I get lost, I get lost in my mind
Lost in my mind
Yes I get lost in my mind
Lost, I get lost, I get lost
Oh I get lost
Oh I get

You are astronomical fans of alcohol

Song: British Sea Power - Waving Flags
Album: Do You Like Rock Music? (2008)
Label: Rough Trade

You are astronomical fans of alcohol
So welcome in
Are rising in the East and setting in the West
All waving flags

We're all waving flags now
Waving flags
But don't be scared

And you, you will be here for a while
And it's all a joke
Oooh, it's all a joke
Ooooooh

Are you of legal drinking age, on minimum wage
Well, welcome in
From across the Vistula, you've come so very far
All waving flags

We're all waving flags now
Waving flags
But don't be scared
And you, you will be here for a while
And it's all a joke
Oooh, it's all a joke
Ooooooh

Beer is not dark
Beer is not light
It just tastes good
Especially tonight

(Oh welcome in)

Oh welcome in, we are Barbarians
Oh welcome in, cross the Carpathians
Oh we can fail, not with czech ecstasy
No we won't fail, not with czech ecstasy
So welcome in

Hold the line

So please stop talking
Start puckering up
My ears are blank

Can't go wrong with that

Explode or capsize
Provide my poet
If you're down
Town the line
You're so fine
Dead wrong

Strange times are here

Song: The Black Keys - Strange Times
Album: Attack & Release (2008)
Label: Nonesuch


Kings and sons of God
Travel on their way from here
Calming restless mobs
Easing all of their, all of their fear

Strange times are here
Strange times are here

Statue in the square
Meant so much when it first stood
People come from far and near
To bless them if, bless them if it would

Strange times are here
Strange times are here

Sadie, dry your tears
I will be the one
To pull you through the mere
Before you come, before you come undone

Strange times are here
Strange times are here
Strange times are here
Strange times are here

But in my dreams we're still screamin' and runnin' through the yard

Song: Arcade Fire - The Suburbs
Album: The Suburbs (2011)
Label: Merge
More info:
Arcade Fire este o formatie de indie rock din Canada care a primit anul aceasta Grammy-ul pentru albumul anului ("The Suburbs") si Brit Award pentru Best International Album ("The Suburbs"). Din 27 iunie vom putea vedea si filmul "Scenes from the Suburbs", realizat impreuna cu regizorul Spike Jonze.


In the suburbs I
I learned to drive
And you told me we'd never survive
Grab your mother's keys we're leavin'

You always seemed so sure
That one day we'd be fighting
A suburban war
your part of town against mine
I saw you standing on the opposite shore

But by the time the first bombs fell
We were already bored
We were already, already bored

Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm movin' past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm movin' past the feeling again

Kids wanna be so hard
But in my dreams we're still screamin' and runnin' through the yard
And all of the walls that they built in the seventies finally fall
And all of the houses they built in the seventies finally fall
Meant nothin' at all
Meant nothin' at all
It meant nothin

Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm movin' past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm movin' past the feeling and into the night

So can you understand?
Why I want a daughter while I'm still young
I wanna hold her hand
And show her some beauty
Before this damage is done

But if it's too much to ask, it's too much to ask
Then send me a son

Under the overpass
In the parking lot we're still waiting
It's already passed
So move your feet from hot pavement and into the grass
Cause it's already passed
It's already, already passed!

Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm movin' past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm movin' past the feeling again

I'm movin' past the feeling
I'm movin' past the feeling

In my dreams we're still screamin'
We're still screamin'
We're still screamin'

Yeah, it would've been, could've been worse than you would ever know

Song: Modest Mouse - Dashboard
Album: We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank (2007)
Label: Epic
More info: Modest Mouse sunt o formatie de indie rock din Washington formata in anul 1993. Au scos 5 albume, ultimul fiind "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank", care a ajuns pe locul 1 in Billboard 200 in prima saptamana de la lansare.


Well, it would've been, could've been worse than you would ever know.
Oh, the dashboard melted, but we still have the radio.

Oh, it should've been, could've been worse than you would ever know.
Well, you told me about nowhere well it sounds like someplace I'd like to go.

Oh, it could've been, should've been worse than you would ever know.
Well, the windshield was broken but I love the fresh air you know.
(The dashboard melted but we still have the radio)

Oh, it would've been, could've been worse than you would ever know, oh!
(The dashboard melted but we still have the radio)
Oh, we talked about nothing which was more than I wanted you to know-oh-oh-oh-oh.
Now here we go!

Oh! It would've been, could've been worse than it had even gone
Well, the car was on blocks, but I was already where I want.
(It was impossible, we ran it good, we ran it good)

Why should we ever even ever really even get to know?
(It was impossible, we ran it good, we ran it good)
Oh if the world don't like us it'll shake us just like we were a co-oh-oh-oh-old.
Now here we go!

Well we scheme and we scheme but we always blow it
We've yet to crash, but we still might as well tow it
Standing at a light switch to each east and west horizon,
Every dawn you're surprising,
and in the evening one's consoling
Saying "See it wasn't quite as bad as"
Well, it would've been, could've been worse than you would ever know.

I was patiently erasing and recording the wrong episodes
After you had proved my point wrong,
It wasn't like I'd let it go, oh-oh-oh. Oh-oh-oh.
I just wanted to catch the last laugh of this show.

Yeah, it would've been, could've been worse than you would ever know.
Oh, the dashboard melted, but we still have the radio.
(The dashboard melted, but we ran it good, we ran it good)

Hard-wired to conceive, so much we'd have to stow it
Even needs have needs, tiny giants made of tinier giants.
Don't wear eyelids so I don't miss the last laugh of this show.
(The dashboard melted but we still have the radio)

Oh, we could've been, should've been worse than you would ever know.
(The dashboard melted but we still have the radio)
Well, you told me about nowhere well it sounds like someplace I'd like to go-oh-oh-oh-oh.
Now here we go!

Well we scheme and we scheme but we always blow it
We've yet to crash, but we still might as well tow it
Standing at a light switch to each east and west horizon,
Every dawn you're surprising,
and in the evening one's consoling
Saying "See it wasn't quite as bad as"

Oh it would've been, could've been worse than you would ever know.

I like my loneliness and the thoughts it brings

I like my loneliness and the thoughts it brings
The darkness can sometimes be a pleasure to me
I stand around on the outside of it peering from the edge
Looking for the answers to the questions I'll never ask
It's from this place we'll find our peace
And reconcile our bitterness
We have to
We have to
Break, break, break, break
Washed away
Washed away
It's from this loneliness and the fear it brings
That new doors can open up and be a saviour to me
So i'll open my mind, open my heart
It's the only way to breathe
It's the static of the lights, she said
So don't panic
No, don't panic
It's from this place we'll find our peace
And reconcile our emptiness
We have to
We have to
Break, break, break, break
Washed away
Washed away
(It's just a trick of the light, she says)
Washed away
(Don't panic, don't panic)

Take me out, it’s Saturday!

Song: Cass McCombs - Dreams Come True Girl
Album: Catacombs (2009)
Label: Domino Records


You’re not my dream girl.
You’re not my reality girl.
You’re my dreams come true girl.

All the troubles in my past
That’s just what they are.
And all the delusions that took host and passed
Have only made my immunity strong.

I’ve been blessed.
Your eyes are two moons.
I hope this voyage will not be ending very soon.
Just crying in orbit with these mirrors of perfection.
To die in the arms of your affection.

What land is this?
May I never wake.

(No no no no no no no your dream.)
(Take me dancing tonight.)
(Take me out, it’s Saturday!)
