Mates Of State

Don't put your hands in the pockets that feed you. You might not get them out.

Elbow

I'm stopping by your place of work
And acting likeI haven't dreamed of you and I
And marriageIn an orange grove
You are the only thing in any room you're ever in

I sat you down and told you
How the truest love that's ever found is for oneself
You pulled apart my theory
With a weary and disinterested sigh

So yes I guessI'm asking you
To back a horse that's good for glue and nothing else
But find a man that's truer
Find a man that needs you more than I

Sit with me a while
And let me listen to you talk about your dreams and your obsessions
I'll be quiet and confessional
When I meet your eyes
I'm spinning
And I'm diving
Like a cloud of starlings
Darling is this love?

The Killers

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy
To save you from your old ways
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined
When you were young

Can we climb this mountain
I don't know
Higher now than ever before
I know we can make it if we take it slow
Let's take it easy
Easy now
Watch it go

We're burning down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane
That started turning
When you were young

And sometimes you close your eyes
You see the place where you used to live
When you were young

They say the devil's water
It ain't so sweet
You don't have to drink right now
But you can dip your feet
Every once in a little while

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But more than you'll ever know

The Killers

Save some face, you know you've only got one
Change your ways while you're young
Boy, one day you'll be a man
Oh girl, he'll help you understand

Looking back at sunsets on the East side
We lost track of the time
Dreams aren't what they used to be
Some things sat by so carelessly

And someone is calling my name
From the back of the restaurant
And someone is playing a game
In the house that I grew up in
And someone will drive her around
Down the same streets that I did

Smile like you mean it

Morrissey

There is a light
And it never goes out.

Glasvegas

I'm so clever
Until my paranoia kicks in
Then I'll accuse her
Of doing all the worst things I do best
The end was always coming and now it's here

So this is the grand finale
The crescendo of demise
This is the happy ending
Where the bad guy goes down and dies

This is the end
With me on my knees and wondering why?
Cross my heart, hope to die
It's my own cheating heart that makes me cry

So what's the story, morning glory?

B. Harper

You're a prison
I can't escape
You're a decision
I never made
Heard me laughing
You heard me weep and moan
When it's good, it's so, so good
When it's gone, it's gone

They say
Time will kill the pain
I say
Pain is gonna kill my time
Lord won't you save me
Or leave me alone
Cause when it's good, it's so, so good
When it's gone, it's gone, gone

I hang your picture right above my mind
Don't do anything you can't deny
I could never be your pawn
'Cause when it's good
It's so, so good
When it's gone, it's gone, gone

Some drink to remember
Some to forget
Some for satisfaction
Some to regret
I hope a brighter day to you I've shown
'Cause when it's good, it's so, so good
And when it's gone, it's gone

It's gone
