we all live in a yellow submarine,

Angel by Saybia

It's not the world that's out of order
It's me, it's me
Guess I ran along my borders
Just to see, just to see

If a friendly face would drop by and rescue me
But I lost my faith as I lost my way

It's not the street that's made of concrete
It's you, it's you
Guess I try to penetrate it with this point of view
I had never taken more than I give to you
I was led astray and I lost my way

Never felt so alone
Stripped naked and cut to the bone
Lost my faith in her on my own
With no queue by the door to my home

It's not the light that casts the shadow
It's doubt, it's doubt
As a melancholic sorrow came about, came about

I had never fought as hard though as I do for you
I'm not getting strong to prove I'm wrong

Never felt so alone
Stripped naked and cut to the bone
Lost my faith in her on my own
With no queue by the door to my home

And god sent an angel
An angel
She's an angel
An angel...

Never felt so alone
Stripped naked and cut to the bone
Lost my faith in her on my own
With no queue by the door to my home
God sent an angel
Sent an angel
She's an angel
An angel
She's an aaaa... an angel

It's not my life that's obsolete
It's youth, my youth
Guess it took a while for me to see the truth, see the truth
I got stuck in minor details so I missed the point
I got so much more than I bargained for...

Talking Heads - Pulled Up

Mommy, Daddy, come and look at me now
I'm a big man in a great big town
Years ago who would believe it's true
Goes to show what a little faith can do

I was complaining, I was down in the dumps
I feel so strong now 'cause you pulled me up!
Pull me up up up up up up up up

I slipped, and I got pulled
Pulled up, I tripped, and then you pulled,
you pulled me up
I slipped, and I got pulled,
Pulled up, I slipped, and then you pulled,
you pulled me up pull me up pull me up...
Pulled me up up up up up up up up

I drift away to another land
Sleeping dreaming such a simple thing
I think of things that I might be
I see my name go down in history

I was complaining, I was down in the dumps
I feel so string now 'cause you pulled me up!
Pull me up up up up up up up up
I slipped, and I got pulled,
pulled up, I tripped, and then you pulled,
you pulled me up
I tripped, and I got pulled
Pulled up, I slipped, and then you pulled
you pulled me up! Pulled me up up, Pulled me up...
Pulled me up up up up up up up up

I got up
'cause you pulled me up
I stood up
'cause you pulled me up
I got up
And that was because you pulled me up
I got up
In a little while you pulled me up
Pull me up up up up, up up up up!
Pull me up up up up up up up up!

I cast a shadow on the living-room wall
Dark and savage with a profile so sharp
Keep that wonderful food on the table
There's really no hurry I'll eat in a while

I was complaining, I was down in the dumps
I feel so strong now 'cause you pulled me up!
Pull me up up up up up up up up!
I slipped, and I got pulled
Pulled up, I tripped, and then you pulled,
you pulled me up
I slipped, and I got pulled
Pulled Up, I slipped,
And then you pulled, you pulled me up!
Pull me up...Pull me up...Watch out!
Pull me up up up up up up up up!
Pull me up up up up up up up up!
Pull me up up up up up up up up!

Among my favorite songs, here's one:

"U-URANUS" by Man or Astroman?:

--sound clip--
We are to explore Uranus. That's why we're here.

I know that.

We've got a job to do.
--/sound clip--

Uranus is a planet
We don't know much about
Uranus is a planet
Of that there is no doubt
Uranus is a planet
It's seventh from the sun
Uranus is a planet
It's not the well known one

Uranus is a planet
It looks a bluish green
Uranus is a planet
It barely can be seen
Uranus is a planet
It's very very cool
Uranus is a planet
It's very very old

Uranus is a planet
And you could not live there
Uranus is a planet
With hydrogen for air
Uranus is a planet
It's made of methane too
Uranus is a planet
And it begins with U




And yes, they do pronounce "Uranus" the incorrect way. :D

From Les Miserables:

I Dreamed a Dream
Sung by: Fantine

I dreamed a dream
In time gone by,
When hopes were high
And life worth living-
I dreamed that love would never die!
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.

Then I was young and unafraid,
When dreams were made
And used
And wasted...
There was no ransom to be paid!
No song unsung,
No wine untasted,

But the tigers
Come at night!
With their voices soft as thunder!
As they tear your hope apart...
As they tear your dream
To shame...!

He slept a summer
By my side!
He filled my days with endless wonder!
He took my childhood
In his strides!
But he was gone when autumn came!

And still I dream he'll come to me!
That we'll live the years together!
But there are dreams that cannot be!
And there are storms we cannot weather!

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this h***
I'm living, so different now
From what it seemed!
Now life had killed the dream I dreamed...

The Words Get Stuck In My Throat by DEVO

If I had a tiny microphone
Hidden in my heart
It would amplify my love for you
But the words get stuck in my throat
The words get stuck in my throat

If I had a little viewmaster
Stuck inside my brain
It would snap the pictures all of you.
But the words get stuck in my throat
The words get stuck in my throat

If I had a telegraph
Tapping in my brain
It would tap the morse code "I love you."
But the words get stuck in my throat
The words get stuck in my throat

Hey, hey, hey
What'd I say?
Everyday!

The words get stuck in my throat (repeating)


It's so cool because it's sung by Booji Boy which makes it sound like Mickey Mouse singing to a Rugrats theme type of tune.

Raining blood
From a lacerated sky
Bleeding its horror
Creating my structure
Now I shall reign in blood!

The Decemberists - On The Bus Mall

In matching blue rain coats
Our shoes were our showboats
We kicked around
From stairway to station
We made a sensation
With the gadabout crowd

And oh, what a bargain
We're two easy targets
For the old man at the off tracks
Who paid in palaver and crumpled old dollars
Which we squirelled away
In our rat-trap hotel by the freeway
And we slept in Sundays

Your parents were anxious
Your cool was contagious
At the old school
You left without leaving
A note for your grieving sweet mother
While your brother was so cruel

And here in the alleys
Your spirits will rally
As you learn quick to make a fast buck
In bathrooms and barrooms
On dumpsters and heirlooms we bit our tongues
Sucked our lips into our lungs because we were falling
Such was our calling.

And here in our hovel
We fuse like a family
But I will not mourn for you
So take off your make up
And pocket your pills away
We're kings among runaways
On the bus mall
We're down on the bus mall

Among all the urchins
And old chinese merchants
At the old town
We reigned at the pool hall
With one iron cue ball
And we never let the bastards get us down

And we laughed off the quick tricks
And the old men with limp dicks
On the colonnades at the waterfront park
As four in the morning
Came on cold and boring
We huddled close at the bus stop enclosure enfolding
Our hands tightly holding

And here in our hovel
We fuse like a family
But I will not mourn for you
So take off your make up
And pocket your pills away
We're kings among runaways
On the bus mall
We're down on the bus mall

Jimmy Eat World -23
I felt for sure last night
At once we said goodbye
No one else will know these lonely dreams
No one else will know that part of me
Im still driving away
And Im sorry every day
I wont always love these selfish things
I wont always live...
Stop it...

It was my turn to decide
I knew this was our time
No one else will have me like you do
No one else will have me, only you

Youll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
Im here and now Im ready
Holding on tight
Dont give away the end
The one thing that stays mine

Amazing still it seems
Ill be 23
I wont always love what Ill never have
I wont always live in my regrets

Youll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
Im here and now Im ready
Holding on tight
Dont give away the end
The one thing that stays mine

Youll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
Im here and now Im ready
Holding on tight
Dont give away the end
The one thing that stays mine...

Sleeping with the lights on - Teitur

I've been haunted by this old ghost before
I want to hear your voice you know it's been so long
Like a dancing wave you balance on the shore
It would feel so good to see your face again

I still sleep with the lights on
I still stay up late alone
I still love another one
I still sleep with the lights on

We both understand we've got no way back
Our love was strange in a strange land
We got broken wings we were bound to fall
Until the sun comes up you can hold my hand

I still sleep with the lights on
I still stay up late alone
I still love another one
I still sleep with the lights on

Take it easy, take it slow
Let's just watch the tides they grow
The wind is coming from the side
We are sleeping in the light

Feel like waking up in your house some day
Or eating of your hand like a bird astray
But nothing's gonna change, we'll still be the same
We've said what's to say, nothing's buried nowhere

I still sleep with the lights on
I still stay up late alone
I still love another one
I still sleep with the lights on

"Ever felt away with me
Just once, that all I need,
Entwined in finding you one day
Ever felt away without me,
My love, it lies so deep,
Ever dream of me"

"Ever Dream"-NW

Older ~They Might Be Giants

You're older than you've ever been
and now you're even older
and now you're even older
and now you're even older
You're older than you've ever been
and now you're even older
and now you're older still

Time is marching on
and time...
is still marching on

Ok, I've been listening to the tragically hip a lot recently. A few of my favourites

Boots or Hearts
Well I think that there's a problem here
Her voice just don't sound right
But I left myself on her answering machine
Said, "I'm back in town tonight."
I feel I've stepped out of the wilderness
All squint-eyed and confused
But even babies raised by wolves
They know exactly when they've been used

Chorus
See when it starts to fall apart
It really falls apart
Like boots or hearts, Oh when they start
They really fall apart

Fingers and toes, fingers and toes
Forty things we share
Forty-one if you include
The fact that we don't care
Now you've blocked off most of main street
For your faith parade
Everyone in town now, they probably all agree
I'm lying in the bed I made

Chorus

well you won't even let me talk to you
We got some air to clear
well We'd probably only agree on one thing anyway
That's what the hell is happening here?
Fingers and toes, fingers and toes
Forty things we share
Forty-one if you include
The fact that we don't care

Chorus

Highway Girl
I'm going down to see my highway girl
She just came back from around the world
I'm gonna get me a gun, I'm gonna stand on
guard
In a little white booth in her front yard.
Throwing rocks at her window what could
she do
If you throw enough rocks one might break
through
Well she looked out her window when the
police came
To see a big tin man dancing in the rain.
Oh my little highway girl
Oh my little highway girl
She said, Don't you think babe you push a
bit too fast
I said, Slowing down don't make it last
And a memory's never gonna set you free
Go out and see that world and bring it home
to me.
Oh my little highway girl
Oh my little highway girl
Oh my little highway girl
Oh my little highway girl

My Music At Work
Everything is bleak. It's the middle of the night.
You're all alone and the dummies might be right.
You feel like a jerk.
My music at work.
My music at work.

Avoid trends and clichés. Don't try to be up to date.
And when the sunlight hits the olive-oil, don't hesitate.
The night's so long it hurts
My music at work.

In a symbol too far or the anatomy of a stain;
To determine where you are, in a sink full of Ganges, I'd remain
No matter what you heard
In my music at work.
My music at work.
My music at work.

I call it, 'Olga Waits; The Cloud That Entertains
The Dim Possibility of Showing Some Restraint.'
The rain came down berserk.
My music at work.
My music at work.

On a star beyond the chart or the dark side of a drop of rain.
Determining where you are, in a sink full of Ganges, I remain

No matter what you heard.
My music at work.
My music at work.
My music at work.

La-la-la-la-la-la.
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
La-la-la-la-la-la.
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.

Everything is bleak. It's the middle of the night.
You're all alone and the dummies might be right.
Outside, the darkness lurks.
My music at work.
My music at work.

Hey fallen hummingbird, my music at work.
From the middle of the earth, my music at work.
Bound for bed without dessert, my music at work.
My music at work.
My music at work.

Here is one classic that will never die. I prefer the newer (2005) by Jane Birkin and Miossec, Pour en flirt avec toi:

Pour un flirt avec toi
Je ferais n'importe quoi
Pour un flirt avec toi
Je serais prêt à tout
Pour un simple rendez-vous
Pour un flirt avec toi

Pour un petit tour, un petit jour
Entre tes bras
Pour un petit tour, au petit jour
Entre tes draps

Je pourrais tout quitter
Quitte à faire démodé
Pour un flirt avec toi
Je pourrais me damner
Pour un seul baiser volé
Pour un flirt avec toi

Pour un petit tour, un petit jour
Entre tes bras
Pour un petit tour, au petit jour
Entre tes draps

Je ferais l'amoureux
Pour te câliner un peu
Pour un flirt avec toi
Je ferais des folies
Pour arriver dans ton lit
Pour un flirt avec toi

Pour un petit tour, un petit jour
Entre tes bras
Pour un petit tour, au petit jour
Entre tes draps

Switchfoot
Yesterdays

Flowers cut and brought inside
Black cars in a single line
Your family in suits and ties
And you're free

The ache I feel inside
Is where the life has left your eyes
I'm alone for our last goodbye
But you're free

I remember you like yesterday, yesterday
I still can't believe you're gone, oh...
I remember you like yesterday, yesterday
And until I'm with you, I'll carry on

Adrift on your ocean floor
I feel weightless, numb, and sore
A part of you in me is torn
And you're free

I woke from a dream last night
I dreamt that you were by my side
Reminding me I still had life
In me

I'll carry on

Every lament is a love song
Yesterday, yesterday
I still can't believe you're gone
So long my friend, so long
