Song of the Day (3/3/08)



The Walkmen - Everyone Who Pretended...

Because he knows
Our Romeo,
He can't climb back.
He swings in loopholes.
When he goes through the air
Their vengeance will stretch out.

I made the best of it.
I made the best of it.
I made the best of it.

This velvet rope
Has fell before
In vain.
Clothing crashing the floor.
Insane.
Worse than once thought.

Know that you were doing wrong.

Oh yeah, pressure drop a drop on you [2x]

Song of the Day (1/28/09)



The Veils - Nux Vomica

What say you, Lord
For the olive boys down in the house of corrections
As they try for love and any form of ascension
Am I on the right train headed in the wrong direction
What say you, Lord
What say you, Lord

Am I living wrong
Do you see a long road with no one on it
And the right of men that you learnt only to forget
You see my sad wife and my high margin of profit
But you don't care at all
You don't care
At all

What say you, Lord
Now that they're breeding all our animals insane
And the remedy is growing harder to obtain
There's a white horse running wild through the switch-cane
I can hear him now
And I feel him

'Til Kingdom come
Caught in this frenzy of elimination
Such an irreparable disintegration
My body's twitching with a ready expectation
For Kingdom come
My Kingdom
Come

What say you, Lord
Why is the truth of this so hard to unveil?
Though it's true I never knew what this would entail
From the hands of Christ to the heads of the Daily Mail
I'll see you all
And I'll raise you

Now what say you, all
I wonder when the light is brought up for sale
With the weight of love and the grace of the Baleen Whale
Will the severed Heads of State be at all curtailed
Will they be here at all -
Will they be dead and gone?

What say you Lord
Of the serpent-taled, forbidden fish of the harbours
And the ready-men, defiant drinkers and charmers
All lost and summoning the face of their fathers
Can you see thm now?
I can see 'em

What say you, all
Do I believe it if I do not want it
Do I lie alone and keeps my cold hands off it
Honey, it ain't hard to loose your grip in the midst of all of this
But it ain't far to fall
It's not far at all

Song of the Day (1/25/08)



Faces on Film
- The Medical Mind

Your desperate children
Put in an animal grip
I can still see the marks that you made
When you steadied the ship
And I'd see them out of those clutches
If I could assist
Oh doctor, sweet doctor
The medical mind isn't one that exists

Watch me float slowly
But see it outside of the law
Wash me with the words
That can open the mannequin's jaw
You're dead from the minute you wonder
if you will be missed
Oh doctor, sweet doctor
The medical mind isn't one that exists

Two steps off those glowing signs
That say I'm losing and I'm cheap
And I'm amazed at nothing
And that's a reason to be alone

So nice to look at
Now that the rider's been tossed
You can see it with the same mind
That everyone told you you've lost
I need a couple reminders of the hero I was
You may not remember
But at least you could listen to someone who does.

Song of the Day (1/22/09)



Oh No Oh My! - I Have No Sister

I never had a sister
that you didn't like
You had three ugly brothers
but still turned out all right, yeah

I never had a girlfriend
longer than three months
you never had a boyfriend
but married on a hunch

so let's ride bikes into the sea
and catch a bus outside the reef
drive so deep that we can see
thinks that we have to get off
the bus driver laughs and he shakes his head
says, "You're okay, I drive this route everyday"
you're uneasy and you say you're scared
and if I die at least you'll die too

I never had a sister
but you, you look swell
wearing your matching shorts
as often as the mail comes

you look like Audrey Hepburn
when you get all dressed up
I have seen all your movies
'cause Audrey's a stone fox

so let's ride bikes into the sea
and catch a bus outside the reef
drive so deep where we can see
thinks that we have to get off
The bus driver laughs and he shakes his head
says, "You're okay, I drive this route everyday"
you're uneasy and you say you're scared
and if I die at least you'll die too

Kings of Leon - Taper Jean Girl

Aha shake taper jean girl with a motel face
Aha shake bury your eyes in a secret place
Aha shake black as night on a Sunday

Cunts watch their bodies, no room for make up
I think he's tasted, tasted the watcher

Heartbreak knockin' 'em down like the 7th grade
Heartbreak, cigarettes and songs, with a winter's chafe
Heartbreak keep like my daughter and a run away

Aha shake tapered jean girl kills me

Jay Reatard - An Ugly Death

She hung herself, out to dry
Didn’t even, say goodbye
She had enough, of this world
An ugly death, for a pretty girl

For you, for me
How I love to see

They buried her deep, in the ground
Where she can’t, make a sound
She needed a friend, and there she lies
And no one cares, so no one cries

Peter Bjorn and John - Young Folks

if i told you things i did before
told you how i used to be
would you go along with someone like me
if you knew my story word for word
had all of my history
would you go along with someone like me

i did before and had my share
it didn't lead nowhere
i would go along with someone like you
it doesn't matter what you did
who you were hanging with
we could stick around and see this night through

and we don't care about the young folks
talkin' bout the young style
and we don't care about the old folks
talkin' 'bout the old style too
and we don't care about our own folks
talkin' 'bout our own stuff
all we care about is talking
talking only me and you

usually when things has gone this far
people tend to disappear
no one would surprise me unless you do

i can tell there's something goin' on
hours seem to disappear
everyone is leaving i'm still with you

it doesn't matter what we do
where we are going to
we can stick around and see this night through

and we don't care about the young folks
talkin' bout the young style
and we don't care about the old folks
talkin' 'bout the old style too
and we don't care about our own folks
talkin' 'bout our own stuff
all we care about is talking
talking only me and you

and we don't care about the young folks
talkin' bout the young style
and we don't care about the old folks
talkin' 'bout the old style too
and we don't care about our own folks
talkin' 'bout our own stuff
all we care about is talking
talking only me and you
(repeat)
talking only me and you

talking only me and you
talking only me and you

The Walkmen - Red River

The light is finally fading
And so i say goodnight
I step out in the darkness
Around the firelight
I step out in the darkness
Lost my way around
I'm going now
but i'll be by tonight
I'll get held up by this heart of mine

I was forgotten and
Buried in the ground
I was reborn into this world
Never made it out

I wandered through the morning
I strode along the lines
I woke up in the trenches
They left the dead behind
I woke up in the trenches
Burned up in the mud
And now i'm gone
It just bury me alive
If i'm held up by this heart of mine

Oh no
It's all forgotten and
Buried in the ground
I was reborn into this world
Never made it out

Red River
Carry me home
I never
Been so alone
When the lime
Messed up my eyes
Red River
Carry me home

Lali Puna - Faking the Books

We’ve been done before
and now we try to forge ourselves
We’ve been done before
and now we try to forge ourselves
I’ll be true again
But until then I fake the books
‘Cause everybody knows
This ain’t heaven
Until everybody knows
We’ve been wrong before
There is a lot that we survived
We’ve been wrong before
There is a lot that we survived
I’ll be true again
But until then I fake the books
‘Cause everybody knows
This ain’t heaven
Until everybody knows

Deerhunter - Nothing Ever Happened

Only when I dream but there some way out
You learn to talk, you learn to shout
Focus on depth that was never there
A lemonade what you can't repain

Nothing ever happened to me
Nothing ever happened to me
Nothing ever happened to me
Life just passing, flash right thru me

See thru the wind to awakened stream
Adjust yr eyes to the state of things
Focus on depths that was never there
Nothing's easy nothing's fair

Nothing ever happened to me
Nothing ever happened to me
Nothing ever happened to me
Life just passing, flash right thru me

I never, saw it coming
waiting for something, for nothing
I never, saw it coming
waiting for something, for nothing

The Paddingtons - Some Old Girl

All the strangers that we've seen tonight
Does it seem absurd?
You can never say you've seen the light
You're something special
A prophet to let for for world
You're some old girl
You're some old girl
Some old girl
You can maybe do it to yourself
Does it seem absurd?
You can never say you've seen the light
You're something special
A prophet to let for the world
Some old girl
You can stick around here
But you never seem to let it all go

All the strangers that we've seen tonight
Did it seem absurd?
You can never say you've seen the light
You're something special
A prophet to let for for world
You're some old girl
You're some old girl
Some old girl

Some old girl
Some old girl
Some old girl
