Such Small Hands by La Dispute

I think I saw you in my sleep, darling,

I think I saw you in my dreams you were

Stitching up the seams on every broken promise

That your body couldn't keep.

I think I saw you in my sleep.



I thought I heard the door open, oh no,

I thought I heard the door open but

I only heard it close.



I thought I heard a plane crashing, but

Now I think it was your passion snapping.



I think you saw me confronting my fear, it

Went up with a bottle and went down with the beer and

I think you ought to stay away from here

There are ghosts in the walls and they

Crawl in your head through your ear.



I think I saw you in my sleep, lover,

I think I saw you in my dreams you were

Stitching up the seams on every mangled promise

That your body couldn't keep.

I think I saw you in my sleep.

"Reste Avec Moi" by Codeine Velvet Club

Where did the money go?
I'll love you even when you're poor
You don't mean anything
You don't mean anything you say

Don't think my love's in vain
I heard you calling out my name
You don't love anyone
You don't love anyone

But midnight's on its way
and there's so much I'll never say
And all the streetlights flicker endlessly
And steal my heart away, so wont you

Stay with me, stay with me
I don't need you
I just want you here with me
Nights like these
Come and go so needlessly

Where did your good times go?
You used to chase me from your door
You don't know anything
You don't know anything I'm sure

I know enough to see
That you need anyone but me
You don't hear anything
You never hear a word I say

You must believe me
Do your lonely eyes deceive me?
Did the moonlight have to leave me
In this cold and vacant way?

Wont you stay with me, stay with me
I don't need you
I just heard you'd wait for me
Endlessly naming every street for me

Blue light fuels the daze
Of all those promises you made
And every love struck scene on silver screen
Pulls me right back in

So wont you stay with me, stay with me
I don't need you, I just heard you'd wait for me
Endlessly naming every street for me

Stay with me stay with me
I don't need you I just want you here with me
Nights like these come and go so endlessly

"River Went Dry" by Josh Woodward


I picked you up at ten to four
Just like a thousand times before
On a thousand other days

We took a walk in Silver Springs
I didn't even say a thing
Everything just disappeared

I was there the day the river went dry
and I just watched it flow away
I just stood and watched that river die
Cuz when all is gone and nothing else remains
You just hope for rain

You saw the dried-out river bed
You broke the silence and you said
Where did all that water go?

I didn't know, so I replied
It's just the nature of the tide
But you knew better

I was there the day the river went dry
and I just watched it flow away
I just stood and watched that river die
Cuz when all is gone and nothing else remains
You just hope for rain

I took you home, you said good night
I watched you fade into the light
Then you vanished through the door

My skin is dry as desert air
There's water, water everywhere
But I'm not thirsty

I was there the day the river went dry
and I just watched you flow away
I just stood and watched that river die
Cuz when all is gone and nothing else remains
You just hope for rain

And just hope for rain
And just hope for rain
And just hope for rain

"Light of My Lantern," by Josh Ritter

Be the light of my lantern, the light of my lantern, be the light
Be the light of my lantern, the light of my lantern tonight
Be the light of my lantern, the light of my lantern, be the light
Be the light of my lantern, the light of my lantern tonight

It’s a hungry world out there, even the wind will take a bite
And I can feel the world circling, sniffin’ round me in the night
And the lost sheep grow teeth, forsake the man to lie with the lions

And the living is desperate, precarious and mean
And getting by is so hard that even the rocks are picked clean
And the bones of small contention are the only food the hungry find

So be the light of my lantern, the light of my lantern, be the light
Be the light of my lantern, the light of my lantern tonight

Where the the thistles eat the thorns, the roses have no chance
And it ain't no wonder that the babies come out crying in advance
And the children long for shelter in the hollow of some lonesome cheek

And the sky’s so cold and clear the stars may stick you where you stand
And you’re only glad it’s dark ‘cause you might see the Master’s hand
And you might cast around forever and never find the peace you seek

Be the light of my lantern, the light of my lantern, be the light
Be the light of my lantern, the light of my lantern tonight

For every cry in the night, somebody says "have faith"
Be content in your questions, Minotaurs inside a maze
Tell me, what's the point of light that you have to strike a match to find?

So throw away those lamentations, we both know them all too well
If there's a book of jubiliations, we'll have to write it for ourselves
So come and lie beside me darling, and let's write it while we've still got time

So if you got a light, hold it high for me
I need it bad tonight, hold it high for me
'Cause I'm face to face, hold it high for me
In that lonesome place, hold it high for me
With all the hurt tha tI've done, hold it high for me
That can't be undone, hold it high for me
Light and guide me through, hold it high for me
I'll do the same for you, hold it high for me

I'll hold it high for you, 'cause I know you've got
I'll hold it high for you, your own valley to walk
I'll hold it high for you, though it's dark as death
I'll hold it high for you, and then gets darker yet
I'll hold it high for you, though your path is blocked
I'll hold it high for you, through the thieves and rocks
I'll hold it high for you, keep you safe from harm
I'll hold it high for you until you're back in my arms

The Court of Miracles!

Clopin and Gypsies:
Maybe you've heard of a terrible place
Where the soundrels of Paris
Collect in a lair

Maybe you've heard of that mythical place
Called the Court of Miracles
Hello, you're there!
Where the lame can walk
And the blind can see
But the dead don't talk
So you won't be around
To reveal what you've found
We have a method for spies and intruders
Rather like hornets protecting their hive
Here in the Court of Miracles
Where it's a miracle if you get out alive!

Clopin:
Justice is swift in the Court of Miracles
I am the lawyers and judge all in one
We like to get the trial over with quickly
Because it's the sentence that's really the fun!

Now that we've seen all the evicence

Puppet:
Wait! I object!

Clopin:
Overruled!

Puppet:
I object!

Clopin:
Quiet!

Puppet:
Dang!

Clopin:
We find you totally innocent
Which is the worst crime of all

All:
So you're going to hang!

"Let Your Love Grow Tall," by Passion Pit

In pastures blue and green
I'll follow you and you'll follow me
My fabric's mystery
I'll weave your loyalty in the freezing breeze
So desperately

Oh, and another one comes down
Another one comes down
Another one comes down

I think I see my life
He bows all slyly and gentle-like
He's never had the right
But I've never lived
Without his sad and jealous eyes

Oh, and another one comes down
Another one comes down
Another one comes down

They say let your love grow tall
Let your love grow tall
Tall as the grass in the meadows?
Or the dunes on the shore?
Like the buildings in the city?
And your children on the floor?

It's the thought that counts
No, quiet minds don't know their worth
They know not what to do
So I'll pray for them
And I'll pray for you
Until my face turns blue

Oh, and another one comes down
Another one comes down
Another one comes down

They say let your love grow tall
Let your love grow tall
Tall as the grass in the meadow?
Or the dunes on the shore?
Like the buildings in the city?
And your children on the floor?
Like the darkness in the forest?
Like my frightened, worried eyes?
Or the roots in the soil?
Are these skies telling lies?

Totally lame, but I love it, for obvious reasons

Rockstar - Nickelback

I'm through with standing in line
To clubs we'll never get in
It's like the bottom of the ninth
And I'm never gonna win
This life hasn't turned out
Quite the way I want it to be

(Tell me what you want)

I want a brand new house
On an episode of Cribs
And a bathroom I can play baseball in
And a king size tub big enough
For ten plus me

(So what you need?)

I'll need a credit card that's got no limit
And a big black jet with a bedroom in it
Gonna join the mile high club
At thirty-seven thousand feet

(Been there, done that)

I want a new tour bus full of old guitars
My own star on Hollywood Boulevard
Somewhere between Cher and
James Dean is fine for me

(So how you gonna do it?)

I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair and change my name

'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blond hair

Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels
Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes
Sign a couple autographs
So I can eat my meals for free
(I'll have the quesadilla on the house)
I'm gonna dress my ass
With the latest fashion
Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion
Gonna date a centerfold that loves to
Blow my money for me
(So how you gonna do it?)
I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair and change my name

'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blond hair
And we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary and today's who's who
They'll get you anything with that evil smile
Everybody's got a drug dealer on speed dial, well

Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

I'm gonna sing those songs
That offend the censors
Gonna pop my pills from a pez dispenser

I'll get washed-up singers writing all my songs
lip sync 'em every night so I don't get 'em wrong

'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blond hair

And we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary and today's who's who
They'll get you anything with that evil smile
Everybody's got a drug dealer on speed dial

Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

"Another New World," by Josh Ritter

The leading lights of the age all wondered among themselves what I would do next
After all that I'd found, in my circles around the world, was there anything left?
"Gentlemen," I said, "I've studied the maps, and if what I am thinking is right,
There's another new world at the top of the world for whoever can break through the ice."

I looked 'round the room in the way I once had and I saw that they wanted belief
So I said, "All I've got are my guts and my God," then I paused, "And the Annabel Lee."
Oh, the Annabel Lee, I saw their eyes shine, the most beautiful ship in the sea
My Nina, my Pinta, my Santa Maria, my beautiful Annabel Lee

That spring we set sail and the crowd waved from shore, and on board the sailors waved caps
But I'd never had family, just the Annabel Lee, so I never had cause to look back
I just studied the charts, set the course north, and towards dark I drifted toward sleep
And I dreamed of the fine, deep harbor I'd find past the ice for my Annabel Lee

And after that it got colder and the world got quiet, it was never quite day or quite night
And the sea turned the color of sky turned the color of sea turned the color of ice

'Til at last all around us was vastness, one vast glassy desert of arsenic white
And the waves that once lifted us sifted instead in the drifts against Annabel's sides
And the crew gathered closer, at first for the comfort but each morning would bring a new set
Of tracks in the snow, leading over the edge of the world, 'til I was the only one left

And after that it gets cloudy, but it feels like I laid there for days or maybe for months
But Annabel held me, the two of us happy, just to think back on all we had done

We talked of the other worlds we'd discover as she gave up her body to me
As I chopped up her mainsail for timber, I told her of all that we still had left to see
As the frost turned her moorings to nine-tails and the wind lashed her sides in the cold
I burned her to keep me alive every night in the loving embrace of her hold

I won't call it rescue, what brought me back here to the old world of drink and decline
Pretend that the search for another new world was well worth the burning of mine
But sometimes at night, in my dreams, comes the singing of some unheard tropical bird
And I smile in my sleep, thinking Annabel Lee's finally made it to the top of the world

Yeah, sometimes at night, in my dreams, comes the singing of some unheard tropical bird
And I smile in my sleep, thinking Annabel Lee's finally made it to another new world

"Fast Car," by Tracy Chapman

You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere

Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
But me myself I got nothing to prove

You got a fast car
And I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
We won't have to drive too far
Just 'cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living

You see my old man's got a problem
He live with the bottle that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
I say his body's too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit school and that's what I did

You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way

I remember we were driving driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You got a fast car
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
And I work in a market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a big house and live in the suburbs
You got a fast car
And I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving

You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or live and die this way

"Banana Pancakes" by Jack Johnson

Can't you see that it's just rainin'
There ain't no need to go outside

But baby, you hardly even notice
When I try to show you
this song It's meant to keep you
From doin' what you're supposed to
Like wakin' up too early
Maybe we could sleep in
I'll make you banana pancakes
Pretend like it's the weekend now

And we could pretend it all the time
Can't you see that it's just rainin'
There ain't no need to go outside

But just maybe, like an ukulele
Mama made a baby
I really don't mind to practice
Because you're my little lady
Lady, lady love me
Because I love to lay here lazy
We could close the curtains
Pretend like there's no world outside
And we could pretend that all the time

Can't you see that it's just raining
There ain't no need to go outside

Ain't no need, ain't no need
Can't you see, can't you see

Rain all day and I don't mind

The telephone singing, ringing, it's too early
Don't pick it up
We don't need to
We got everything we need right here
And everything we need is enough
It's just so easy
When the whole world fits inside of your arms

Do we really need to pay attention to the alarm
Wake up slow, wake up slow

But baby, you hardly even notice
When I try to show you this song
It's meant to keep you
From doin' what your supposed to
Like wakin' up too early
Maybe we could sleep in
I'll make you banana pancakes
Pretend like it's the weekend now
And we could pretend it all the time

Can't you see that it's just rainin'
There ain't no need to go outside

Ain't no need, ain't no need
Rain all day and I really, really, really don't mind
Can't you see, can't you see

We've got to wake up slow

"The River," by Bruce Springsteen

I come from down in the valley
Where, mister, when you're young
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
Me and Mary, we met in high school
When she was just seventeen
We'd ride out of that valley
Down to where the fields were green

We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Into the river we'd ride

Then I got Mary pregnant
And man, that was all she wrote
And for my nineteenth birthday
I got a union card and a wedding coat
We went down to the courthouse
And the judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles, no walk down the aisle
No flowers, no wedding dress

That night, we went down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Into the river we'd ride

I got a job working construction
For the Johnstown Company
Lately, there ain't been too much work
On account of the economy
Now all those things that seemed so important
Well, mister, they vanished right into the air
Now I just act like I don't remember
Mary acts like she don't care

But I remember us riding in my brother's car
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
At night on those banks, I'd lie awake
I'd hold her close just to feel each breath she'd take
Now those memories come back to haunt me
They haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true?
Or is it something worse?

That sends me down to the river
Though I know that the river is dry
That sends me down to the river tonight
Down to the river, my baby and I
Oh, down to the river we ride

Breaking Benjamin - Diaries of Jane

If I had to
I would put myself right beside you
So let me ask
Would you like that?
Would you like that?

And I don't mind
If you say this love is the last time
So now I'll ask
Do you like that?
Do you like that?

No!

Something's getting in the way
Something's just about to break
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane
So tell me how it should be

Try to find out what makes you tick
As I lie down
Sore and sick
Do you like that?
Do you like that?

There's a fine line between love and hate
And I don't mind
Just let me say that I like that
I like that

Something's getting in the way
Something's just about to break
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane
As I burn another page
As I look the other way
I still try to find my place in the diary of Jane
So tell me how it should be

Desperate, I will crawl
Waiting for so long
No love, there is no love
Die for anyone
What have I become

Something's getting in the way
Something's just about to break
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane
As I burn another page
As I look the other way
I still try to find my place
In the diary of Jane!

"An Atlas to Follow," by Wild Sweet Orange

Go back, baby, the way you came
I made a trail to mark the way
Drops of wine and crumbs of flesh
Hurry back, child, before you're dead

I can't pretend now that you're alive
I know I'm dancing with the dead tonight
Heaving bodies in the front yard lights
They're easing off the glory of the truth denied

This little light of mine
Shines bright and blinds the reaper's eyes
Hear you stomping on the tops of pines
We rest as death lays on his knife

The moon ain't pulling at the waves tonight
It's dragging me around just like it drug the tide
Oh, these great hands that pull my life
They drug me outside of y'all's house last night
Where I said:

"Pack it up boys. Gather all your stuff.
In this old money town, it's easy to get stuck."
I left the flashlights by the road
And an atlas to follow

This little light of mine
Shines bright and blinds the reaper's eyes
Hear you stomping on the tops of pines
We rest as death lays on his knife
We rest as death lays on his knife

"Live and Learn" by House Of Fools

I wanna be
I know it's not hard, I just swear it's not easy.
To wanna be,
To wanna be so...

Don't pity me,
Don't pity me even though I'm so pitiful.
It hurts to be,
It hurts to be...

So it seems to me, you get what you deserve.
So it seems to be, we live and we learn.

I wanna breathe,
I wanna live my life like a musical.
I wanna see
A beginning and an end to all of this.
I wanna believe,
I wanna see something ugly turn into something beautiful.
It has to be,
It has to be...

So it seems to me, you get what you deserve.
So it seems to be, we live and we learn.

Yeah, we learn.
Yeah, we learn.

"Play Crack the Sky," by Brand New

Sent out an SOS call, it was a quarter past four in the morning
When the storm broke our second anchor line
Four months at sea, four months of calm seas
To be pounded on the shallows off the tip of Montauk Point

They call 'em rogues, they travel fast and alone
One-hundred foot faces of God's good ocean gone wrong
What they call love is a risk to always get hit out of nowhere
By some wave and end up on your own

The hole in the hull defied the crew's attempts to bail us out
Flooded the engines and radio, half-buried bow

Your tongue is a rudder, it steers the whole ship
Sends your words past your lips and keeps them safe behind your teeth
But the wrong words will strand you, come off course while you sleep
Sweep your boat out to sea or dashed to bits on the reefs

The vessel groans, the ocean pressures its frame
To the port I see the lighthouse through the sleet and the rain
And I wish for one more day to give my love and repay debts
But the morning finds our bodies washed up thirty miles west

They say that the captain stays fast with the ship
Through still and storm
But this ain't the Dakota
And the water's cold
Won't have to fight for long

This is the end
This story's old but it goes on and on until we disappear
This is the calm
Calm me and let me taste the salt you breathed while you were underneath
We are drowning
I am the one who haunts your dreams of mountains sunk below the sea
After the storm
I spoke the words but never gave a thought to what they all could mean
Rest in the deep
I know that this is what you want, a funeral keeps both of us apart
Washed up on the beach
You know that you are not alone, I need you like water in my lungs
This is the end
You never do see any other way

"The Wanderer" by Jil Is Lucky

There are flowers in my room
And they don’t need a job
They just need time
To grow and die
And the lovers on their cloud
don’t give a shit about the money
They’re here to try
To stay side by side
But it’s so hard

‘Cause the morning always comes to kill the dream
You had the night before

Well I’m dragging myself all along the pavement
Up in the sky, there’s someone behind
And he’s guiding my steps
Up and down the life stairs
Helps me thereby leaving again

And I’m walking all damned day
Day after day
But it’s okay
I’m on my way
Wandering again from the West to the East
I try to resist
But it’s so hard not to fall

‘Cause the morning always comes to kill the dream
You had the night before

Well I’m dragging myself all along the pavement
Up in the sky, there’s someone behind
And he’s guiding my steps
Up and down the life stairs
Helps me thereby leaving again

"The Lights and Buzz" by Jack's Mannequin

I'm coming home from my hardest year
I'm making plans not to make plans while I'm here
And this life has been no holiday, a complicated situation
I'm fine with all my memories
Still I could use vacation

It's Christmas in California
And it's hard to ignore that it feels like summer all the time
But I'll take a west coast winter to remove my splinters

It's good to be alive
It's good to be alive

I'm coming home to the lights and buzz
Streets look the same, still nothing's as it was
This place is paradise I'm sure, here's my reservation
I've gotten lost here once before
Inside a good vibration

It's Christmas in California
And it's hard to ignore that it feels like summer all the time
But I'll take a west coast winter to remove my splinters

It's good to be alive
It's good to be alive
It's good to be alive

And time, time it stops for no one
The seasons come and go and that's just time
Yeah time it stops for no one
The seasons keep on going
Whether or not we're blind

Christmas in California
And it's hard to ignore that it feels like summer all the time
But I'll take a west coast winter to remove my splinters

It's good to be alive
It's good to be alive
It's good to be alive

Imagine
John Lennon

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
