Rachael Yamagata - Quiet

Baby says I can't come with him

And I had read all of this in his eyes

Long before he even said so

Why go, I asked

You know and I know why

And it'll be just as quiet when I leave

As it was when I first got here

I don't expect anything

I don't expect anything

Take careI've been hurt before

Too much time spend on closing doors

You may hate me,

but I'll remember to love you

Goodbye

Don't cry

You know why

And it'll be just as quiet when I leave

As it was when I first got here

I don't expect anything

I don't expect anything

All the waves of blame arrange as broken scenery

As they steal your best memories away

What if I was someone different in your only history?

Would you feel the same

As I walk out the door

Never to see your face again

Never to see your face again

And it'll be just as quiet when I leave

As it was when I first got here

It'll be just as quiet when I leave

As it was when I first got here

I don't expect anything

I don't expect anything

I don't expect anything

I don't expect anything

I don't expect anything

I don't expect anything to change when I leave

Sunset Rubdown - Empty Threats of Little Lord

If I ever hurt you
It will be in self-defense
If I ever hurt youIt will be in self-defense
Podiums as high as the gallows are low
Swing low, swing low, swing low.
You are a beast and
I am serving up your supper
You are a beast and I am serving up your supper
Oh, oh, oh…
What will you do when they drink us all down?
Will you slam your fist down on the table?
‘Cause I’m not that kind of whore
No, I’m not that kind of whore
No, I’m not that kind of whore
But I am a little lord.
No, I’m not that kind of whore
But I am a little lord.
No, I’m not that kind of whore
But I am a little lord.
Lord, grant me, gracious,I am burning up inside.
There are snakes out in the night;
All these kids have gone astray;
There are women with no meaning to their names
When we say them… they are worse to win
For never over sinful days…
So if I ever hurt you
It will be in self-defense
And if I ever hurt you
It will be in self-defense
If you ever come at me
I will hurt you
If you ever come at me
I will hurt you
If you ever come at me,
You snake.
You snake
You snake
You snake
I wish you the best, you snake.
You are self-professed, you snake.
My heart’s in my chest, you snake.
You can have the rest, you snake.
I wish you the best, you snake.
You are self-professed, you snake.
My heart’s in my chest, you snake
You can have the rest, you snake…

Bon Iver - Skinny Love

Bon Iver - Skinny Love

Come on skinny love just last the year

Pour a little salt we were never here

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my

Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer

I tell my love to wreck it all

Cut out all the ropes and let me fall

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my

Right in the moment this order's tall

I told you to be patient

I told you to be fine

I told you to be balanced

I told you to be kind

In the morning i'll be with you

But it will be a different "kind"

I'll be holding all the tickets

And you'll be owning all the fines

Come on skinny love what happened here

Suckle on the hope in lite brassiere

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my

Sullen load is full; so slow on the split

I told you to be patient

I told you to be fine

I told you to be balanced

I told you to be kind

Now all your love is wasted?

Then who the hell was i?

Now i'm breaking at the britches

And at the end of all your lines

Who will love you?

Who will fight?

Who will fall far behind?

Atlas Sound - Holiday

Atlas Sound - Holiday

I scared my parents
Now my parents are away
So you come over
We'll have a perfect holiday
I take you down
To the frozen lake
I'll hold the knife
To your perfect fucking face
To you perfect fucking face

I scared my parents
Now my parents are away
So you come over
We'll have a groovy holiday
A sixty El Camaro
Drive off into the sunset
On this perfect day
Oh please don't try to get away
Please please don't try to get away

I watched your parents
I know your parents are way
So I'll come over
We'll have a perfect holiday
I watch you bleed
On your knees
I watch you sneeze
Oh please don't try to get away
Please please don't try to get away
I'm desperate don't try to get away
We're all desperate don't try to get away

Talking Heads - Girlfriend Is Better

Talking Heads - Girlfriend Is Better

I . . . who took the money?
Who took the money away?
I . . . its always showtime
Here at the edge of the stage
I, i, i, wake up and wonder
What was the place, what was the name?
We wanna wait, but here we go again...

I . . . takes over slowly
But doesnt last very long
I . . . no need to worry
Everything's under control
O - u - t but no hard feelings
What do you know? take you away
We're being taken for a ride again
I got a girlfriend thats better than that
She has the smoke in her eyes
Shes moving up, going right through my house
Shes gonna give me surprise
Better than this, know that it's right
I think you can if you like
I got a girlfriend with bows in her hair
And nothing is better than that

Down, down in the basement
We hear the sound of machines
I, i, I'm driving in circles
Come to my senses sometimes
Why, why, why, why start it over?
Nothing was lost, everthing's free
I don't care how impossible it seems

Somebody calls you but you cannot hear
Get closer to be far away
Only one look and thats all that we need
Maybe thats all that it takes
All that it takes, all that it takes
All that it takes, all that it takes
I got a girlfriend that's better than that
And she goes wherever she likes. (there she goes...)

I got a girlfriend that's better than that
Now everyone's getting involved
She's moving up going right through my heart
We might not ever get caught
Going right through (try to stay cool) going through, staying cool
I got a girlfriend that's better than that
And nothing is better than you

I got a girlfriend that's better that this
And you dont remember at all
As we get older and stop making sense
You won't find her waiting long
Stop making sense, stop making sense...stop making sense, making sense
I got a girlfriend that's better than that
And nothing is better that this, is it?
