Mango Tree - Angus & Julia Stone
I wish I had a mango tree
In my backyard
With you standin next to me
Take the picture
From her lips I heard her say
Can I have you
Caught up on what to say
I said you do
I said you do
I said you do
Through my eyes I can see
A shooting star
Weavn its way across the sea
Somewhere from mars
Down the street we would run
To scratch our names in the path
Young and free in the sun
Wheels upon the tar
I said you do
I said you do
I said you do
I said you do

This Is The Last Time - Keane
This is the last time
That I will say these words
I remember the first time
The first of many lies
Sweep it into the corner
Or hide it under the bed
Say these things they go away
But they never do
Something I wasn’t sure of
But I was in the middle of
Something I forget now
But I’ve seen too little of
The last time
You fall on me for anything you like
Your one last line
You fall on me for anything you like
And years make everything alright
You fall on me for anything you like
And I no I don’t mind
This is the last time
That I will show my face
One last tender lie
And then I’m out of this place
So tread it into the carpet
Or hide it under the stairs
Say that some things never die
Well I tried and I tried
Something I wasn’t sure of
But I was in the middle of
Something I forget now
But I’ve seen too little of
The last time
You fall on me for anything you like
Your one last line
You fall on me for anything you like
And years make everything alright
You fall on me for anything you like
And I no I don’t mind
(instrumental)
The last time
You fall on me for anything you like
Your one last line
You fall on me for anything you like
And years make everything alright
You fall on me for anything you like
And I no I don’t mind

Eyes Wide Open - Gotye
So this is the end of the story
Everything we had, everything we did
Is buried in dust
And this dust is all that’s left of us
But only a few ever worried
Though the signs were clear, they had no idea
You just get used to living in fear
Or give up
When you can’t even picture your future
We walk the plank with our eyes wide open…
Some people offered up answers
We made out like we heard, but they were only words
They didn’t add up
To a change in the way we were living
And the saddest thing-
Is all of it could have been avoided
But it was like to stop consuming is to stop being human
And why would i make a change if you won’t
We’re all in the same boat, staying afloat
For the moment
And we walk the plank with our eyes wide open, we..
Walk the plank with our eyes wide open
With our eyes wide open we…
Walk the plank, we walk the plank
And that was the end of the story

Under Cover Of Darkness - The Strokes
Slip back out of whack at your best
It’s a nightmare
So I’m joining the army
Know how folks back out, I still call
Will you wait for me now?
We got the right to live, fight to use it
Got everything but you can just choose it
I won’t tie me a puppet on a string
Don’t go that way
I’ll wait for you
And I’m tired of all your friends
Listening at your door
And I want, what’s better for you
So long my friend and adversary
But I’ll wait for you
Get dressed jump out of bed and do it best
Are you ok?
I’ve been out around this town
Everybody’s singing the same song for ten years
I’ll wait for you
Will you wait for me too?
And they sacrifice their lives
In the land of all closed eyes
I’ve been saying a billion times, and I’ll say it again
So long, my end, the sorry embrace
(solo)
Don’t go that way
I’ll wait for you
I’m tired of all your friends
Backing down your door
Get up in the morning and give it your all
So long my friend, and adversary
I’ll be waiting for you

My stupid mouth
Has got me in trouble
I said too much again
To a date over dinner yesterday
And I could see she was offended
She said “well anyway…”
Just dying for a subject change
Oh, another social casualty
Score one more for me
How could I forget?
Mama said “think before speaking”
No filter in my head
Oh, what’s a boy to do
I guess he better find one soon
My Stupid Mouth - John Mayer
We bit our lips. She looked out the window
Rolling tiny balls of napkin paper
I played a quick game of chess with the
Salt and pepper shaker
And I could see clearly
An indelible line was drawn
Between what was good, what just
Slipped out and what went wrong
Oh, the way she feels about me has changed
Thanks for playing, try again.
How could I forget?
Mama said “think before speaking”
No filter in my head
Oh, what’s a boy to do
I guess he better find one
I’m never speaking up again. It only hurts me
I’d rather be a mystery than she desert me
Oh I’m never speaking up again
Starting now, starting now
One more thing.
Why is it my fault?
So maybe I try too hard
But it’s all because of this desire
I just wanna be liked, I just wanna be funny
Looks like the joke’s on me
So call me captain backfire
I’m never speaking up again. It only hurts me
I’d rather be a mystery than she desert me
Oh I’m never speaking up again
I’m never speaking up again
I’m never speaking up again
Starting now, starting now

In the Yard - Bowerbirds
Last night I dreamed we’d found a stand of trees
framing a pond and a field in between.
And with a hammer and a blade and our four hands,
here’s what we made.
The logs we peeled and stacked in a ring,
and then we crowned it, our tiny house, with tin.
And by the fire, flickering bronze and gold across your face,
I heard you say:
It may not be a grand parade of snow capped peaks,
no river silver-backed crashing through,
but we have our black-haired babes running free
through the woods.
Squirrels in the rafters, wrens in the eaves,
red dirt neath our nails, orange stains on our knees,
blackberries in June down the path without our shoes.
It may not be a grand parade of snow capped peaks,
no river silver-backed crashing through,
but we have our black-haired babes running free
through the woods.

Always A Relief - The Radio Dept.
It’s always a relief to see you again
It’s as if you don’t change and you always complain
We hate different things
And different tastes
How people sing
What they create
Want to feel the illusion
The confusion
Some nerve to go against me now that we’re ahead
You want to know how hard you’d fall if you did?
It feels like our time has gone to waste
Want to feel strong and not like a waste
Want to feel the illusion
The confusion

Feel It All Around - Washed Out
You feel it all around yourself
You know it’s yours and no one else
You feel the thought of learning again
It’s all around
You’re tired of all the things you did
You’ll work it out
You feel it all around yourself
You know it’s yours and no one else
You feel the thought of learning again
It’s all around
You’re tired of all the things you did
You’ll work it out

I Belong In Your Arms - Chairlift
Crossing my heart
Open wide
You’re my crystal and clover
All of me, honestly
Is dedicated to hold you
Swear to god
Double know
What would you do if I stole you tonight?
Why waste time?
Because the world goes on without us
It doesn’t matter what we do
All silhouettes with no regrets
When I’m melting into you
I belong in your arms
I belong in your arms
Feelings are good
Nothing to say
Just want my head on your shoulder
Banana split
Honestly
You’re my remote controller
Between you and me
Suddenly
Something something something is on my mind
Because the world goes on without us
It doesn’t matter what we do
All silhouettes with no regrets
When I’m melting into you
I belong in your arms
I belong in your arms
Because the world goes on without us
It doesn’t matter what we do
All silhouettes with no regrets
When I’m melting into you
I belong in your arms
I belong in your arms

Payne’s Bay - Beirut
I can’t belong to winter
I can’t put on your fire
This town’s alone and therefore
I see no end in sight
Oh, and an end’s child?
Oh, and words aloud?
Headstrong
Today, I’ve been headstrong
Headstrong
Today, I’ve been headstrong

A Singer of Songs - Johnny Cash
I’m not a savior, and I’m not a saint.
The man with the answers I certainly ain’t.
I wouldn’t tell you what’s right or what’s wrong.
I’m just a singer of songs.
But I can take you for a walk along a little country stream.
I can make you see through lovers’ eyes and understand their dreams.
I can help you hear a baby’s laugh and feel the joy it brings.
Yes, I can do it with the songs I sing.
I’m not a prophet, and I’m not a priest.
I’m not a wise man who’s come from the East.
I wouldn’t tell you what’s right or what’s wrong.
I’m just a singer of songs.
But I can take you to a city where a man was crucified.
I can tell you how He lived, and I can tell you why He died.
I can help proclaim the glory of this mighty king of kings.
Yes, I can do it with the songs I sing.
Im not a great man. I dont claim to be.
But when I meet my Maker and He questions me,
I won’t hang my head. I’ll stand proud and strong
and say, I was a singer. Lord, I was a singer.
Yes, I was a singer of songs.

Take The Box - Amy Winehouse
Your neighbours were screaming
I don’t have a key for downstairs,
So I punched all the buzzers
Hoping he would be there
And now my head’s hurting
You say I always get my own way
But you were in the shower when I got there,
And I don’t wanted to stay,
But I got nothing to say
You were so beautiful before today
And then I heard what you say man that was ugly
The Moschino bra you bought me last Christmas
(Put it in the box, put it in the box)
Frank’s in there and I don’t care
(Put it in the box, put it in the box)
Just take it
Take the box
Take the box
I came home this evening and nothing felt like how it should be
I feel like writing you a letter but that is not me, you know me
Feel so damn angry don’t wanna be reminded of you
But when I left my mess in your kitchen,
I said goodbye to your bedroom and it smelled to you
Mr False Pretense, you don’t make sense
I just don’t know you
But you make me cry, where’s my kiss goodbye?
I think I love you
The Moschino bra you bought me last Christmas
(Put it in the box, put it in the box)
Frank’s in there and I don’t care
(Put it in the box, put it in the box)
Now take it
Take the box
Just take it, take it
Take the box
And now just take the box
Take the box

Jealous Guy - John Lennon
I was dreaming of the past
And my heart was beating fast
I began to lose control
I began to lose control
I didn’t mean to hurt you
I’m sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn’t want to hurt you
I’m just a jealous guy
I was feeling insecure
You might not love me anymore
I was shivering inside
I was shivering inside
I didn’t mean to hurt you
I’m sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn’t want to hurt you
I’m just a jealous guy
I didn’t mean to hurt you
I’m sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn’t want to hurt you
I’m just a jealous guy
I was trying to catch your eyes
Thought that you was trying to hide
I was swallowing my pain
I was swallowing my pain
I didn’t mean to hurt you
I’m sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn’t want to hurt you
I’m just a jealous guy, watch out
I’m just a jealous guy, look out babe
I’m just a jealous guy

The Fox in the Snow - Belle & Sebastian
Fox in the snow, where do you go
To find something you could eat
Cause word out on the street is you are starving
Dont let yourself go hungry now
Dont let yourself grow cold
Fox in the snow
Girl in the snow, where do you go
To find someone who will do
To tell someone all the truth before it kills you
And listen to your crazy laugh
Before you hang a right
And disappear from sight.
What do they know anyway?
You read it in a book
What do they know anyway?
You read it in a book tonight
Boy on the bike, what are you like
As you cycle round the town
Youre going up, youre going down, youre going nowhere.
Its not as if theyre paying you
Its not as if its fun.
At least not anymore
When your legs are black and blue
Please can you take a break
When your legs are black and blue
Can you take a holiday
Kid in the snow, where do you go, it only happens once a year
It only happens once a lifetime, make the most of it.
Second just to being born.
Second to dying, too.
What else would you do
What else would you do
What else would you do
What else would you do
Fox in the snow
When your legs looking black and blue
Fox in the snow
Its not as if theyre paying you
Fox in the snow
When your legs looking black and blue
Fox in the snow
Its not as if theyre paying you
Fox in the snow
Fox in the snow.
