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]

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]

Madness: My Girl 2


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 ...

Asaf Avidan: One Day / Reckoning Song (Wankelmut Remix)

(german ones please listen here)
one day baby, we'll be old / oh baby, we'll be old / and think of all the stories that we could have told
one day baby, we'll be old / oh baby, we'll be old / and think of all the stories that we could have told


no more tears, my heart is dry / I don't laugh and I don't cry / I don't think about you all the time / but when I do, I wonder why
no more tears, my heart is dry / I don't laugh and I don't cry / I don't think about you all the time / but when I do, I wonder why
no more tears, my heart is dry / I don't laugh and I don't cry / I don't think about you all the time / but when I do, I wonder why


one day baby, we'll be old / oh baby, we'll be old / and think of all the stories that we could have told
one day baby, we'll be old / oh baby, we'll be old / and think of all the stories that we could have told

one day baby, we'll be old / oh baby, we'll be old / and think of all the stories that we could have told
one day baby, we'll be old / oh baby, we'll be old / and think of all the stories that we could have told ...

Matt Corby: Brother (+ update)

 
I mean, this is a really awesome song. I finally found the name of it because Matt Corby will play in my hometown today.

And this song is so awesome because of this voice. In the beginning it's so high and clear and then it gets so deep and so raspy and so great and so wonderful, I can't! This is one of my favourite songs.

o-o-ooh, o-o-ooh, ooooh-oh-oooh
o-o-ooh, o-o-ooh, ooooh-oooooh-oooooooh

sleep now under my skin / make sure you'll try to / conjure the wind / and ease my mind

o-o-ooh, o-o-ooh, ooooh-oh-oooh
o-o-ooh, o-o-ooh, ooooh-oooooh-oooooooh
 

somebody call out to your brother / he's calling out your name / ooh ooh ooh / hiding under the covers / with no one else to blame / ooh ooh ooh 
you couldn't help out your own neighbor / you couldn't tell it to his face / you were f*cked up by the blame
 

you cower in the corner / confide in your father / let it out and say / let it pass away 

sleep now under my skin / make sure you'll try to / conjure the wind / and ease my mind

and I said
o-o-ooh, o-o-ooh, ooooh-oh-oooh
o-o-ooh, o-o-ooh, ooooh-oooooh-oooooooh
somebody call out to your brother / he's calling out your name / ooh ooh ooh / hiding under the covers / with no one else to blame / ooh ooh ooh 
you couldn't help out your own neighbor / you couldn't tell it to his face / you were f*cked up by the blame

you cower in the corner / confide in your father / let it out and say
you cower in the corner / confide in your father / let it break your day / let it out and say
 

wait there / pull yourself out of this state dear / acknowledge you were a fake here / from there on you might just grow / oh oh oh


somebody call out to your brother / he's calling out your name / ooh ooh ooh / hiding under the covers / with no one else to blame / ooh ooh ooh 
you couldn't help out your own neighbor / you couldn't tell it to his face / you were f*cked up by the blame [x]

(nice date btw)
I've found a very nice stripped back version:

Tori Amos: Bouncing Off Clouds

bouncing off of clouds we were / is there a love lost and found
make it easy / make this easy / it's not as heavy as it seems / wrapped in metal / wrapped in ivy / paint it in mint ice cream

we could be bouncing off the top of this cloud / I'll put on my silver / we could be bouncing off the top of this cloud


failure to respond but / I did but did you listen


bouncing off the top of this cloud / I'll put on my silver / about what you said, has it come to this? / I'll put on my silver / bouncing off the top of this cloud


well you can stare all day at the sky / but that won't bring her back / that won't bring her back / you say you're waiting on fate / but I think fate is now / I think fate is now / waiting on us


make it easy / easy easy / we could make this easy / easy love easy / we could make this easy / make this easy / it's not as heavy as it seems / wrapped in metal / wrapped in ivy / blue umbrellas now smiling


we could be bouncing off the top of this cloud / I'll put on my silver / about what you said, has it come to this? / I'll put on my silver


bouncing off the top of this cloud / I'll put on my silver / about what you said, has it come to this? / I'll put on my silver / bouncing off the top of this cloud


bouncing off of clouds we were

Cosmo Jarvis: Love This

YOU DON'T KNOW WHO MUCH I LOVE THIS
I may say that I love lots of songs and it's also easy for me to start loving a song. But I have a list in my mind, I mean, I do have a favourite song [x]. And I would say "Love This" is my second most favourite songs. That's right.

Arctic Monkeys: Fluorescent Adolescent


you used to get it in your fishnets / now you only get it in your night dress / discarded all the naughty nights for niceness / landed in a very common crisis
everything's in order in a black hole / nothing seems as pretty as the past though / that Bloody Mary's lacking in Tabasco / remember when he used to be a rascal?

oh that boy's a slag / the best you ever had /  the best you ever had / is just a memory and those dreams / not as daft as they seem / not as daft as they seem / my love when you dream them up...

flicking through a little book of sex tips / remember when the boys were all electric? / now when she tells she's gonna get it / I'm guessing that she'd rather just forget it
clinging to not getting sentimental / said she wasn't going but she went still / likes her gentlemen to not be gentle / was it a megadobber or a betting pencil?


oh that boy's a slag / the best you ever had /  the best you ever had / is just a memory and those dreams / not as daft as they seem / not as daft as they seem / my love when you dream them up ...
oh, where did you go? / where did you go? / where did you go? woah

falling about / you took a left off Last Laugh Lane / you just sounded it out / you're not coming back again
falling about / you took a left off Last Laugh Lane / you just sounded it out / you're not coming back again
you used to get it in your fishnets / now you only get it in your night dress / discarded all the naughty nights for niceness / landed in a very common crisis
everything's in order in a black hole / nothing seems as pretty as the past though / that Bloody Mary's lacking in Tabasco / remember when he used to be a rascal?

Dionne Bromfield: Yeah Right



Yo what up Dionne it's Diggy
I got erm caught up in the studio doing some things
So I'm erm a hit you later


Maybe you caught the train just like you said you did
Maybe it broke down but you didn't give up
Maybe you got pinned down by all the weight of gifts
That you were bringing me to show your love


Maybe you got lost on the way back to my house
Maybe you called and I was on the phone
Maybe you thought if you were late I'd throw you out
Maybe you think I like being on my own


Yeah right

Yeah right
I mean honestly
You lied to me like I'm not there


Yeah right
Yeah right
You must be mad you lied so bad
Just listen to yourself


Yeah right
Yeah right
You'll lose my love
If you keep it up
Yeah right Mmm

Maybe you got messed up by someone in your past

Maybe you give me what they gave to you
Maybe it all makes sense of why you run so fast


Acting like this is some police interview
Maybe you're waiting for my birthday to arrive
And then you're gonna tell me everything

Yeah right

Yeah right
I mean honestly
You lied to me like I'm not there
Yeah right
Yeah right
You must be mad you lied so bad
Just listen to yourself
Yeah right
Yeah right
You'll lose my love

If you keep it up

Yeah right Mmm

[...]

Just listen to yourself

Babyshambles: You Talk


You talk, you talk a good game

A song is just a game Im getting good at cheating at 


You talk yes you talk a good game
Won't you teach me the same
Oh I'd love to explain, like showing your hand and all about


Oh well I know, I know, I know, I know and so and so and so

Looking for the light behind your eyes

Wish I could talk the same
Writing songs' is just a game I'm getting good at cheating at

And those little red shoes and some kid with the blues
Who gets right on your tits, you just grin and bear it 


Oh well I know, I know, I know, I know its wrong and so and so and so
So what I suppose it's got to


Oh but I never ever said it was clever
I just like getting leathered
And looking for the light the light behind your eyes

And the love, the love behind your eyes
You talk, you talk a good game

I just like getting leathered looking for the light
the light behind your eyes

And the love behind your eyes
