Arctic Monkeys - Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?

x

video (song starts at 01:34 and isn't the exact one)

the mirror's image, / it tells me it's home time / but I'm not finished / 'cause you're not by my side
and as I arrived I thought I saw you leaving, / carrying your shoes, / decided that once again I was just dreaming / of bumping into you

now it's three in the morning / and I'm trying to change your mind, / left you multiple missed calls / and to my message you reply / why'd you only call me when you're high? / high / why'd you only call me when you're high?

somewhere darker, / talking the same shite, / I need a partner, / well are you out tonight?

it's harder and harder to get you to listen / more I get through the gears / incapable of making alright decisions / and having bad ideas 

now it's three in the morning / and I'm trying to change your mind, / left you multiple missed calls / and to my message you reply / why'd you only call me when you're high? / (why'd you only call me when you're) high / why'd you only call me when you're high?

and I can't see you here when I'm high / sort of feels like I'm running out of time / I haven't found all I was hoping to find / you said you got to be up in the morning / gonna have an early night / and you starting to bore me, baby, / why'd you only call me when you're high?

why'd you only ever call me when you're high? / why'd you only ever phone me when you're high? / why'd you only ever call me when you're high? / why'd you only ever phone me when you're high? / why'd you only ever call me when you're high? / why'd you only ever phone me when you're high? [x]

Super700: Life With Grace

x

Listen ↗

getting dressed up for the cage / much too pretty for cage fighting / only fighting for the right to whine / dim the lights not to be enlightened

too few kingdoms for too many kings / never doubt self-regulation / too few kings for too many queens / raising lords for a dying nation

I know that you know

live your life with grace / live your life with grace / live your life with grace / live your life with grace

what you do is not what you want / dreams dying in segregation / being dead all days a week / even deader with compensation

I know that you know

live your life with grace / live your life with grace / live your life with grace / live your life with grace / live your life with grace / live your life with grace / space must be the place / to live your life with grace

I know that you know / I know that you know / I know that you know / I know that you do know [x]

The Vaccines: I Always Knew

x

Listen ↗

down, down in my bones / somewhere I'd never ever known / right at the back of my head / it hit me like a beam of light / hook of the right / and I could have fell to the floor

'cause you talk to me / and it comes off the wall / you talk to me / and it goes over my head / so let's go to bed / before you say something real / let's go to bed before / you say how you feel
'cause it's you / I always, always knew / I oh, I always knew / oh, it's you
I try my best to unwind / nothing on my mind but you / oblivious to all that I'll owe / I'm hanging on
to what I don't know

so let's go to bed / before you say something real / let's go to bed / before you say how you feel

'cause it's you / I always, always knew / I oh, I always knew / oh, it's you / yeah it's you / I always, always knew / I oh, I always knew / oh, it's you

well it's you / I always, always knew / I oh, I always knew / oh, it's you / I knew, oh I always knew / yes I always knew / oh, it's you [x]

Apparat: A Violent Sky

x

Listen  ↗

I’ve seen you on the road / I’ve seen you on the road / the place they called it home

coming down beneath the violent sky / coming down beneath the violent sky / coming down beneath the violent sky / coming down beneath the violent sky

these skies where happy kids / the music going loud / to move here under the cloud of screaming / to move here under the cloud of screaming / to move here under the cloud of screaming [x]

Portugal. The Man: The Sun

x

Listen ↗

if you look real high / you just might find / sitting in the stars / glistening, glistening / waiting for the band to come / just waiting for that man to come / oh, I wonder...

slip on down from that sun / to climb down to earth / and down to things like time / because we are all, we are all just lovers / born of earth and light like all these others
 
if you're talking to the moon / the moon might sing about the universe / shouting out I don't need, I don't need time / I breathe in time / where, where are we now? / where, where are we now?

slip on down from that sun / to climb down to earth / and down to things like time / because we are all, we are all just lovers / born of earth and light like all these others

if you're looking for the river / just find the mouth / it's grinding like gnashing teeth foaming out, foaming out / mixing up that hell to come / just mixing up the hell to come / and it's fixing up to swallow me whole / fixing up to swallow me whole / fixing up to swallow my soul / fixing up to swallow me whole

slip on down from that sun / to climb down to earth / and down to things like time / because we are all, we are all just lovers / born of earth and light like all these others / we are all, we are all / where, where are we now? / we are all, we are all / where, where are we now? / we are all, we are all / where, where are we now? / oh, I wonder [x]

Junip: Line Of Fire

x

 
Listen ↗

what would you do / if it all came back to you? / each crest of each wave / bright as lightning
what would you say / if you had to leave today? / leave everything behind / even though for once, you're shining

standing on higher ground / when you hear the sounds / you realize it's just the wind / and you notice it matters / who and what you let under your skin

put to the test / would you step back from the line of fire? / hold everything back / all emotions set aside it
convince yourself / someone else / and fight from the world / your lack of confidence / what you choose to believe in / takes you much too far / takes you much too far
no one else around you / no one to understand you / no one to hear your calls / look through all your dark corners / you're backed up against the wall / step back from the line of fire
what would you do / if it all came back to you? / each crest of each wave / bright as the lightning
do the same as you do / do the same as you do / do the same as you, / do the same as you
I do the same as you / do the same as you  / do the same as you do / what you choose to believe in / takes you much too far
no one else around you / no one to understand you / no one to hear your calls / look through all your dark corners / you're backed up against the wall / step back from the line of fire

step back from the line of fire / step back from the line of fire / step back from the line of fire  / step back from the line of fire / step back from the line of fire

step back / step back / step back [x]

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds: We No Who U R

x

tree don’t care what a little bird sings / we go down with the due in the morning light / the tree don’t know what the little bird brings / we go down with the due in the morning

and we breathe, in it / there is no need to forgive / breathe, in it, there is no need to forgive
and we breathe, in it / there is no need to forgive / breathe, in it, there is no need to forgive

the trees will stand like ṗleading hands / we go down with the due in the morning light / the trees all stand like ṗleading hands / we go down with the due in the morning light

and we breathe it in / there is no need to forgive / breathe it in, there is no need to forgive
and we breathe it in / there is no need to forgive / breathe it in, there is no need to forgive 

the trees will burn with blackened hands / we return with the light of the evening / the trees will burn blackened hands / nowhere to rest, with nowhere to land

and we know who you are / and we know where you live / and we know there’s no need to forgive 
and we know who you are / and we know where you live / and we know there’s no need to forgive

and we know who you are / and we know where you live / and we know there’s no need to forgive
and we know who you are / and we know where you live / and we know there’s no need to forgive again [x]

Chris Isaak: Wicked Game

x

This song is incredible. Incredible voice, incredible music. It touches my heart.

the world was on fire and no one could save me but you / it's strange what desire will make foolish people do / I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you / and I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you 

no, I don't want to fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart) / no, I don't want to fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart) / with you (this world is only gonna break your heart) 

what a wicked game to play, to make me feel this way / what a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you / what a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way / what a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you and

I want to fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart) / no, I want to fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart) / with you

the world was on fire and no one could save me but you / it's strange what desire will make foolish people do / I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you / and I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you  

no, I want to fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart) / no, I want to fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart) / with you (this world is only gonna break your heart) / no, I ... (this world is only gonna break your heart) / (this world is only gonna break your heart) [x]

Nom De Guerre: Everybody Knows

x

wakes with a smile / in disbelief / her taste / still on his teeth / her side of the bed is as cold as her heart
Harry sits up / lets out a groan / calls her up / but no-one's home / seems Kimberly's back in denial again

everybody knows / all the friendly smiles are just for show / no-one really wants to say hello / but everybody knows everybody lies / making up the story of their lives / papering the cracks and sharpening knives / everybody lies

wakes with a sigh / his wife's asleep / her face /could make him weep / monotony's left them as dry as a bone
irving gets up / for pity's sake / patiently waits / until she breaks / poor Francis is coming apart at the seams 

everybody knows / all the friendly smiles are just for show / no-one really wants to say hello / but everybody knows everybody lies / making up the story of their lives / papering the cracks and sharpening knives / everybody lies

knowing looks and furtive glances / patched-up hearts and worn-out dreams / forlorn hopes and failed romances / nothing is quite what it seems [x]

Jonathan Jeremiah: Happiness

what you gonna do / what you gonna do with people like that? / what you gonna say / what you gonna say that will make them change their ways? / who you gonna find / who you gonna find to listen anyway / where you gonna go / where you gonna go to try and get it straight?

I once found the recipe, for what to do to cure my needs / I packed some things just what I need / only bare necessities / asked Mrs Walsh to feed my cat / call landlord Tate to tell him that / I'm going home where my people live / need a little bit of happiness, yeah 

who's it gonna be / who's it gonna be who'll tell it like it is? / who you gonna blame / who you gonna blame for all our differences? / where's it gonna end / where's it gonna end if anywhere at all? / where you gonna go / where you gonna go if you can't take it all?  

I once found the recipe, for what to do to cure my needs / I packed some things just what I need / only bare necessities / asked Mrs Walsh to feed my cat / call landlord Tate to tell him that / I'm going home where my people live / need a little bit of happiness, yeah   

write a little note and apologise / to the next door so they realise / call up little Max and her sister Jean / say sorry for inconveniencing / order a cab, take it to, the bus station up on 42 / I'm going home, where my people live / I need a little bit of happiness, yeah / I need a little bit of happiness, yeah / I need a little bit of happiness, yeah / I need a little bit of happiness, yeah

Team Me: Show Me

show me / show me how it's done / this tired face too pale / these tired feet don't know where they are headed
show me / show me how it's done / this troubled mind needs rest / this aching heart needs more than you can offer 

I'm playing with a dangerous flame again / and I'm happy as I can be when you are gone
I'm playing with a dangerous flame again / and I'm happy as I can be when you are gone, gone, gone, gone

show me / show me how it's done / this tired face too pale / these tired feet don't know where they are headed
show me / show me how it's done / invisible wars / you and I still acting like we're strangers

I'm playing with a dangerous flame again / and I'm happy as I can be when you are gone
I'm playing with a dangerous flame again / and I'm happy as I can be when you are gone


I'm playing with a dangerous flame again / and I'm happy as I can be when you are gone
I'm playing with a dangerous flame again / and I'm happy as I can be when you are gone


I'm playing with a dangerous flame again / and I'm happy as I can be when you are gone
I'm playing with a dangerous flame again / and I'm happy as I can be when you are gone, gone, gone, gone

aaah ...
