#17 Radiohead, Reckoner 7 months ago

Reckoner
You can’t take it with yer
Dancing for your pleasure

You are not to blame for
Bittersweet distractor
Dare not speak it’s name
Dedicated to all human beings

Because we separate like ripples on a blank shore
in rainbows
Because we separate like ripples on a blank shore

Reckoner
Take me with yer
Dedicated to all human beings



#16 Two Gallants, Long Summer Day 14 months ago

ALL I’VE EVER KNOWN IS POOR.
OWE MY SKIN TO THE COUNTRY STORE.
DON’T OWN MY WALLS, MY ROOF, MY DOOR,
AND HE TELLS ME I’M FREE.
BUT WHY FIGHT THE WILL TO LIVE.
HELL MIGHT TAKE BUT HEAVEN GIVES,
THERE’S ONLY ONE SO I’LL FORGIVE.
NO I AIN’T ONE TO GRIEVE.

BUT THE SUMMER DAY MAKES A WHITE MAN LAZY.
HE SITS ON HIS PORCH KILLING TIME.
I’VE GOT TO WORK TO FEED MY WIFE AND BABY.
I WORK SO GODDAMN HARD THAT IT’S A CRIME.

WELL I WENT DOWN TO THE POLLING PLACEBUT THE WHITE MAN THERE JUST LAUGHED IN MY FACE.
SAID, “BOY THIS AIN’T NO NIGGER’S RACE.
YOU BEST GET ON YOUR WAY.
“SIR I BELIEVE I’VE GOT THE RIGHT.”
HE SAID, “YOU AIN’T GOT NOTHIN’ IF YOU AIN’T WHITE.
AND I THOUGHT I SAID GET OUT OF SIGHT.”
WELL WHAT WAS I TO SAY.

THE SUMMER DAY MAKES A WHITE MAN LAZY.
HE SITS ON HIS PORCH KILLING TIME.
I’VE GOT TO WORK TO FEED MY WIFE AND BABY.
I WORK SO GODDAMN HARD THAT IT’S A CRIME.

WHEN I WAS ABOUT THE AGE OF FIVE,
I WATCHED MY DADDY BURNED ALIVE.
THEY CUT HIM LOW AND THEY HUNG HIM HIGH,
SWAYING IN THE BREEZE.
BUT THE LAST WORDS I HEARD HIM SAYBEFORE THEY STOLE HIS LIFE THAT DAYWAS “FORGIVE THEM LORD, THEY’VE GONE ASTRAY.
PLEASE TAKE ME TO MY EASE.”

THE SUMMER DAY MAKES A WHITE MAN LAZY.
HE SITS ON HIS PORCH KILLING TIME.
BUT THE SUMMER DAY MAKES A NIGGA’ FEEL CRAZY.
MIGHT MAKE ME DO SOMETHING OUT OF LINE.

WELL I DON’T KNOW BUT I HEARD TELLOF A FURNACE BELOW, A PLACE CALLED HELLAND WHO WOULD CATCH ME IF I FELL?
WHO WOULD PRAY FOR ME?
BUT ONE THING I SEE FOR SURE,
ITS HOT AS HELL UP HERE I KNOWAND THE DEVIL LIVES RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD.
IT’S ALL THE SAME TO ME.

‘CAUSE THE SUMMER DAY MAKES A WHITE MAN LAZY.
HE SITS ON HIS PORCH KILLING TIME.
BUT THE SUMMER DAY MAKES A NIGGA’ FEEL CRAZY.
MIGHT MAKE ME DO SOMETHING OUT OF LINE.

WELL IF YOU SHOULD SEE MY WIFETELL HER I WON’T BE HOME TONIGHT,
SO DON’T LEAVE ON THE LIGHT.
I’VE GOT A LITTLE BUSINESS DOWN THE ROAD.
AND IF I’M DEAD BY SUNRISEKISS MY BABY GIRL FOR ME.
IT AIN’T LIFE IF IT AIN’T FREE.
I’VE GOT A MIGHTY BURDEN TO UNLOAD.



#15 Ultra Bra, Villiviini 17 months ago

Villiviini seinässä on metrin korkeampi
villiviini seinässä on metrin korkeampi
olen ollut pitkään poissa kotoa
enkä löydä keittiöstä katkaisijaa

Pohjoistuuli sisällä on tänään voimistunut
pohjoistuuli sisällä on tänään voimistunut
olen ollut eilen poissa kotoa
enkä tahdo osallistua keskusteluun

Ajatukseni kaukana odessassa
rautateillä kaislikoissa
ajatukseni kaukana odessassa
hautausmailla heinäkuussa

Villiviini seinässä peittää ikkunankin
villiviini seinässä peittää ikkunankin
olen ollut pitkään ilman sinua
enkä katso paljain silmin aurinkoon

Ajatukseni kaukana odessassa
rautateillä kaislikoissa
ajatukseni kaukana odessassa
hautausmailla heinäkuussa



#14 Devendra Banhart, Will Is My Friend 18 months ago

Will is my friend
Will sings like John
Going back to California
Will is the west coast with me
Will is a past is a plenty
Will is a blue friend of mine
With whom I spend a whole lot of my time
The lemon tree it laughs at me
It’s growing beautifully
The little veins it would unwind
And it’ll wrap your whole in time
Now let’s have a glass of wine
Now let’s have another glass of wine
This is the water in which we wade
This is our father this is how we strayed
This is the wind
And this is the breeze
Will is my friend
Will sings like John
Going back to California



#13 Goldfrapp, Clowns 22 months ago

Only clowns will play with those balloons
What’d ya wanna look like Barbie for?
Dear oh lord it’s easy
Roasting, roasting, roast indeed, mahagony,
titties that live on on and on on and on

Only clowns would play with those balloons
What’d ya wanna look like Barbie for?

Only clowns would play with those balloons
What’d ya wanna look like Barbie for?
Passive when I’m in record day & night
I’m watching you



#12 PJ Harvey, The Devil 2 years ago

As soon as I’m left alone
The devil wanders into my soul

And I pretend to myself
And I pretend to myself

I go out
To the old milestone
Insanely expecting
You to come there
Knowing that I wait for you there
That I wait for you there

Come!

Come!
Come here at once
Come!
Come
On a night with no moon

Because all of my being is now in pining
All of my being is now in pining

What formerly had cheered me
Now seems
Insignificant
Insignificant



#11 Arctic Monkeys, From The Ritz To The Rubble 2 years ago

Last night these two bouncers
And one of em’s alright
The other one’s the scary one
His way or no way, totalatarian

He’s got no time for you
Looking or breathing
How he don’t want you to

So step out the queue
He makes examples of you
And there’s nowt you can say
Behind they go through to the bit where you pay
And you realise then that it’s finally the time
To walk back past ten thousand eyes in the line

And you can swap jumpers and make another move
Instilled in your brain you’ve got something to prove
To all the smirking faces and the boys in black
Why can’t they be pleasant?
Why can’t they have a laugh?

He’s got his hand in your chest
He wants to give you a duff
Well secrectly I think they want it all to kick off
They want, arms flying everywhere and
Bottles aswell it’s just
Something to talk about
A story to tell you

Well I’m so glad they turned us all away we’ll put it down to fate

I said a thousand million things that I could never say this morning

Got too deep, but how deep is too deep?

This town’s a different town today
This town’s a different town to what it was last night
You couldn’t have done that on a Sunday

That girl’s a different girl today
Said that girl’s a different girl to her you kissed last night
You couldn’t have done that on a Sunday

Well I’m so glad they turned us all away we’ll put it down to fate

I thought a thousand million things that I could never think this morning

Got too deep, but how deep is too deep?

Last night what we talked about
It made so much sense
But now the haze has ascended
It don’t make no sense anymore



#10 Two Gallants, Steady Rollin' 2 years ago

You might have seen me ‘neath the pool hall lights.
Well baby I go back each night.
If you got a throat I got a knife.
Steady rollin’, I keep goin’.

Well I come from the old time baby,
too late for you to save me.
If I remain then I’m to blame.
But if you should ever need me,
I’ll go where’er you lead me.
It’s all the same, the same old game.

I don’t mind how quick the seasons change.
You know to me they’s every one the same.
The sweetest sunshine drips the drain.
Death’s comin’, I’m still runnin’.

Well I come from the old time baby,
too late for you to save me.
If I remain then I’m to blame.
But if you should ever need me,
I’ll go where’er you lead me.
It’s all the same, the same old game.

My lovin’ lady she’s a ball and chain.
I still can travel but my speed has changed.
I bring the money, I take the blame.
Steady rollin’, I keep goin’.

But I shot my wife today,
dropped her body in the Frisco bay.
I had no choice it was the only way.
Death’s comin’, I’m still runnin’.

Well I come from the old time baby,
too late for you to save me.
If I remain then I’m to blame.
But if you should ever need me,
I’ll go where’er you lead me.
It’s all the same, the same old game.

Out waltzin’ with the Holy Ghost,
from the Bowery to the Barbary Coast.
The land I’m from you know I love the most.
Steady rollin’, I keep goin’.

And everyday is just another town.
The more I search you know the less I’ve found.
Me, I’m a sucker, just a slave to sound.
Death’s comin’, I’m still runnin’.

Well I come from the old town baby,
where all the kids are crazy.
If I remain then I’m to blame.
But if you should ever need me,
I’ll go where’er you lead me.
It’s all the same, the same old game.



#9 Flunk, See Thru You 2 years ago

Everybody loves the way they do
Oh everybody cares a lot they do
Everybody knows our love will do
And they’ll see through you

Everybody loves the way they do
Oh everybody cares a lot they do
Everybody knows our love will do
And they’ll see through you

No one ever knows how I love you
No one ever feels like I feel you
Oh no one understand the way you do
And I’ll see through you

Oh no one ever knows how I love you
No one ever feels like I feel you
Oh no one understand the way you do
And I’ll see through you

Everybody loves the way they do
Oh everybody cares a lot they do
Everybody knows our love will do
And they’ll see through you

No one ever knows how I love you
No one ever feels like feel you
Everybody knows, see through you



#8 Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Down Boy 2 years ago

no fame
all there is
all there was
on the second lady
can’t take a cent
take a cut of that
kind of ran
I’ll stand kind of pushed
kind of bent
on this heavy land
I’ll stand for the sake of my friend
I will see him there

Down
down
count me down
down
down, boy
down
count me down
down, boy
down, boy
down, boy
down

the same
not begin
not give up
in a better way
again, washed the stain
off his bed
not to split him up
I’ll stand for the sake of my friend
I will see him there
well, I will see him there

Down
down
count me down
down
down, boy
down
count me down
down, boy
down, boy
down, boy
down
down
count me down
down
Down, boy
