you do – aimee mann
You stay the night at his house
with no ride to work
and I’m the one who tells you
he’s another jerk
but you’re the one who can succeed
you’ve only got to prove your need–
and you do
you really do
The sex you’re trading up for
what you hope is love
is just another thing that
he’ll be careless of
but though there are caveats galore
you’ve only got to love him more–
and you do
you really do
even when it’s all too clear
You write a little note that
you leave on the bed
and spend some time dissecting
every word he said
and if he seemed a little strange
well, baby–anyone can change
and you do
you do
you really do
powder on the words – a toys orchestra
I’ve learned to memorize better
The days we say "it does’nt matter"
But now the powder hides the final of the words
We spend too much time hoping
To find again the will to hope
But now the powder hides the final of the words
Will roses blossom through the cinder
The teachers will be pupils again
If just the weather takes the powder off the words
…and all the secrets i have always blessed
I swear i try to pledge myself to not forget
But now the powder hides the final of the words
…the powder hides the final of words
…what does it matter…
Cause all in all it’s just a pile of words!
You move the water
Like a floater
As a fish that swims around
Under the weather
Find the shelter
Like a bunny into the hat
…i’m a ship that runs aground! …
Wait for the purifier rain
I’m on the snail’s trail…
The weight?
The blame?
Have you heard?
…never heard?
walk away – franz ferdinand
I swapped my innocence for pride
Crushed the end within my stride
Said I’m strong now I know that I’m a leaver
I love the sound of you walking away
Mascara bleeds a blackened tear
And I am cold
Yes, I’m cold
But not as cold as you are
I love the sound of you walking away
Why don’t you walk away?
Why don’t you walk away?
No buildings will fall down
Why don’t you walk away?
No quake will split the ground
Why don’t you walk away?
The sun won’t swallow the sky
Why don’t you walk away?
Statues will not cry
Why don’t you walk away?
I cannot turn to see those eyes
As apologies may rise
I must be strong and stay an unbeliever
And love the sound of you walking away
Mascara bleeds into my eye
I’m not cold
I am old
At least
As old as you are
As you walk away?
As you walk away
My headstone crumbles down
As you walk away
The Hollywood wind’s a howl
As you walk away
The Kremlin’s falling
As you walk away
Radio Four is STATIC
As you walk away
The stab of stiletto
On a silent night
Stalin Smiles
Hitler laughs
Churchill claps
Mao Tse Tung
on the back
