the first rain and you.


The Flashbulb - The First Rain and You.


I just want to say -
Thank you for this day
Masking my dismay
Thank you for this day


up against the wall.


Peter, Bjorn and John - Up Against The Wall


Guess I should have caught your call
But I just had to waste the phone forget it all
Bones are trembling hands are cold
You don’t know how it feels you’ve got me up against the wall

Maybe we could make this work
But now you start to leave before it’s getting worse
I don’t know what you came here for
It’s almost that I wish we hadn’t met at all

You slap just like a wake-up call
The bruises on the face don’t bother me at all
Bones are trembling hands are cold
It’s almost that I wish you had me up against the wall

Everywhere i look 
I just see you 
On your own
All that it took 
Was one call 
On his phone
Forgive me if im wrong 
But you look sad 
All along
So give me another chance 
Cause i could be 
The dock to your bone 
 Or something

Even after all
All the bad things that you done
We should be together
Sharing this love
In my home
I know i'm not alone
You still look sad
All along
So give me another chance
Cause i could be

Everywhere i look
  I just see you 
On your own 
All that it took
Was one call 
On his phone

kettering.

The Antlers - Kettering

I wish that I had known in
That first minute we met
The unpayable debt
That I owed you

Because you'd been abused
By the bone that refused you
And you hired me
To make up for that

And walking in that room
When you had tubes in your arms
Those singing morphine alarms
Out of tune

They had you sleeping and eating
And I didn't believe them
When they called you
A hurricane thundercloud

When I was checking vitals
I suggested a smile
You didn't talk for a while
You were freezing

You said you hated my tone
It made you feel so alone
So you told me
I had to be leaving

But something kept me standing
By that hospital bed
I should have quit but instead
I took care of you

You made me sleep all uneven
And I didn't believe them
When they told me that there
Was no saving you

the birds.

Telefon Tel Aviv - The Birds



the science of your days
is laid bare
boiling in the sun
for all the world to see

the birds remind me

of what we made
the birds remind me
of what remains

jona vark.

Gypsy And The Cat - Jona Vark

She walks down the street
Alone in the dark
Her hands held up high
And she's got nothing fear

As she crosses the road
She looks to the stars and asks for advice
On where to go
Where to go from here

Jona Jona Vark
Her name is Jona Jona Vark
Her name is Jona Jona Vark
Her name is Jona Jona Vark

She found her place
Amongst the trees
She opened her eyes
And started to see
A flower in the distance
That showed her the way
To answer the questions
That we all like to ask

Jona Jona Vark
Her name is Jona Jona Vark
Her name is Jona Jona Vark
Her name is Jona Jona Vark

Her name is Jona Jona Vark
Her name is Jona Jona Vark

shelter.

The XX- Shelter


I find shelter, in this way
Under cover, hide away
Can you hear, when I say?
I have never felt this way

Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on
Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on

Could I be, was I there?
It felt so crystal in the air
I still want to drown, whenever you leave
Please teach me gently, how to breathe

And I'll cross oceans, like never before
So you can feel the way I feel it too
And I'll mirror images back at you
So you can see the way I feel it too

Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on
Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on

Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on

the bay.

Metronomy - The Bay





You may have the money
But you've got to go
It's sensible
It's sensible
And those endless seasons
That go on and on
Incredible

But I'd sooner get out

And remember where we went last year
You said everything about it moved on your career
If you want to go
I'll take you back one day

Because this isn't Paris

And this isn't London
And it's not Berlin
And it's not Hong Kong
Not Tokyo
If you want to go
I'll take you back one day

It feels so good in the bay

It feels so good in the bay
You may have the body
But do you have the song?
Let's make this happen
Let's make this happen
And those endless beaches
That go on and on
It's magical

But I'd sooner get out

Remember where we went last year
You said everything about it moved on your career
If you want to go
I'll take you back one day

Because this isn't Paris

And this isn't London
And it's not Berlin
And it's not Hong Kong
Not Tokyo
If you want to go
I'll take you back one day

It feels so good in the bay

It feels so good in the bay

no surprises.

Radiohead- No Surprises


 A heart that's full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won't heal

You look so tired and unhappy
Bring down the government
They don't, they don't speak for us
I'll take a quiet life
A handshake of carbon monoxide

No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
Silent, silent

This is my final fit, my final bellyache with

No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises please

Such a pretty house, such a pretty garden

No alarms and no surprises (let me out of here)
No alarms and no surprises (let me out of here)
No alarms and no surprises please (let me out of here)
