communist love song: soltero
it was well-concieved in theory but it doesn't work in life.
comrade has to wonder, is it ever worth the effort?
well i don't know but i've been told not to hang on to my hope.
i don't know but i've been told and i've been listening all my life
if you're ever less then certain about the world,
please don't let the worry make it's way into your work.
and if you would stick up for me in the face of some adversity,
know that i would do the same.
'cause it was well-concieved in theory but it doesn't work in life.
but me i will not write it off not ever having tried.
well i don't know but i've been told not to hang onto my hope;
well i don't know but i've been told but these are lies and they get old.
look me in the eyes under expanding winter skies
you'll find a feeling there that never knows the cold
look me in the eyes and the skeptic in me dies-
the skeptic is a fool, we are exceptions to the rule,
'casue this is our land, this is our land, i will cross it holding your hand;
from krasnayarsk to moscow we will not be turned away;
this is our land this is our land i will cross it holding your hand
in the crooked streets of petersburg, we are all the same.
if you're ever less then certain about the world
please don't let the worry make it's way into your work;
and if you would stick up for me in the face of great adversity,
know that i would do the same, know we are the same;
if you would stick up for me speak kindly and poetically;
you can be my personal embassador to the world.
and if you're ever less then certain, i will be your iron curtain,
i will be your berlin wall, and i will never fall

in the aeroplane over the sea: neutral milk hotel
What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all round the sun
What a beautiful dream
That could flash on the screen
In a blink of an eye and be gone from me
Soft and sweet
Let me hold it close and keep it here with me
And one day we will die
And our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea
But for now we are young
Let us lay in the sun
And count every beautiful thing we can see
Love to be
In the arms of all I'm keeping here with me
What a curious sight we have found here tonight
There is music that sounds from the streets.
There are lights in the clouds
Anna's ghost all around
Hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through me
Soft and sweet
How the notes all bend and reach above the trees
Now how I remember you
How I would push my fingers through
Your mouth to make those muscles move
That made your voice so smooth and sweet
And now we keep where we don't know
All secrets sleep in winter clothes
With one you loved so long ago
Now he don't even know his name
What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all round the sun
And when we meet on a cloud
I'll be laughing out loud
I'll be laughing with everyone I see
Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all
i like that last line because it really is amazing that we even exist even if by the worlds standards we are nothing our existance is pretty substantial
Song Against Sex: Neutral Milk Hotel (He sings all of this in 3:40)
And the first one tore a picture
Of a dead and hanging man
Who was kissing foreign fishes
That flew right out from his hands
And when I put my arms around him
I felt the blushing blood run through my cheeks
And an eeriness surrounded when his tongue began to speak
And he said, "Oh boy you are so pretty
Enough to wrap tight in rice-paper string..."
And when I finally kissed him the whole world began to ring
Lost like a bell that's tipping over
With two cracks along both sides
And I knew the world was over so I took a look outside
And watched the fires that were reaching
Up to the weather vane and the tops of trees
And the waiting scene and the Sunday dream
They're all waiting here for me
Deli markets with their flower stands
And pretty girls and the burning men
Hanging out on the hooks next to the window displays
And I took out my tongue twice removed from my face
Across a bridge and across the mountains
Threw a nickel in a fountain
To save my soul from all these troubled times
And all the drugs that I don't have the guts to take
To soothe my mind so I'm always sober
Always aching, always heading towards
Mass suicide, occult figurines
And wasted gas-station attendants
Attending to their jobs
And a nice drive in the country
Finds a nice cliff to drop off
Oh when this world just gets so grating
All the grittiness of life
But don't take those pills your boyfriend gave you
You're too wonderful to die
And the last one tore a picture from the pornographic page
But all the pleasure points attacking
All the looks of love were staged
And it's a lie that you've been given
It just hurts you every day
So why should I lay here naked
When it's just too far away
From anything we could call loving
Any love worth living for
So I'll sleep out in the gutter
You can sleep here on the floor
And when I wake up in the morning
I won't forget to lock the door
'Cause with a match that's mean and some gasoline
You won't see me anymore.
The Boy Done Wrong Again: Belle & Sebastian
The boy done wrong again
Hang your head in shame and cry your life away
The boy done wrong again
Hang your head in shame and cry your life away
Are you ok now?
are you ok now?
On saturday i was an angel shining fair
you shone louder, longer
you put my shine to shame
put me to shame now
put me to shame
what is it i must do to pay for all my crimes
what is it i must do
i would do it all the time
all i wanted was to sing the saddest songs
if someone sings along i will be happy now
the woodland spring will put the darkness from your thinking
if this town's your sinking ship
then you know where to jump
talking dirty for a hobby it's fine
so pour another glass of wine
i'll think of england this time
all i wanted was to sing the saddest songs
if someone sings along i will be happy now
The Fox In The Snow: Belle & Sebastian
fox in the snow, where do you go
to find something you can eat
cause the word out on the street is you are starving
don't let yourself grow hungry now
don't let yourself grow cold
fox in the snow
girl in the snow where will you go
to find someone that will do
to tell someone all the truth before it kills you
they listen to your crazy laugh
before you hang a right
and dissapear from sight
what do they know anyway
you'll read it in a book
what do they know anyway
you'll read it in a book tonight
boy on the bike what are you like
as you cycle round the town
you're going up, you're going down
you're going nowhere
it's not as if they're paying you
it's not as if it's fun
when your legs are black and blue
it's time to take a break
when your legs are black and blue
it's time to take a holiday
kid in the snow way to go
it only happens once a year
it only happens once a lifetime
make the most of it
second just to being born
second to dying too
what else could you do
Fight Test: Flaming lips
I thought I was smart, i thought i was right, i thought it better not to fight, i thought there was a virtue in always being cool. so when it came time to fight i thought i'll just step aside and that time would prove you wrong and that you would be the fool, i don't know where the sunbeams end and where the starlight begins it's all a mystery oh to fight is to defend if it's not no then tell me when would be the time that youi would stand up and be a man for to lose i could accept but to surrender i just wept and regretted this moment, oh that i, that i was the fool i don't know where the sunbeams end and where the starlight begins it's all a mystery and i don't know how a man decides what is right for his own life it's all a mystery because i'm a man not a boy and there are things you can't avoid you have to face them when you're not prepared to face them if i could i would but you're with him now it'd do no good i should have fought him but instead i let him take it i don't know where the sunbeams end and the starligght begins it's all a mystery and i don't know how a man decides what is right for his own life it's all a mystery
