The Cure - Lullaby
I spy something beginning with s...
on candystripe legs the spiderman comes
softly through the shadow of the evening sun
stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
looking for the victim shivering in bed
searching out fear in the gathering gloom and
suddenly!
a movement in the corner of the room!
and there is nothing i can do
when i realize with fright
that the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight!
quietly he laughs and shaking his head
creeps closer now
closer to the foot of the bed
and softer than shadow and quicker than flies
his arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes
"be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy
don't struggle like that or i will only love you more
for it's much too late to get away or turn on the light
the spiderman is having you for dinner tonight"
and i feel like i'm being eaten
by a thousand million shivering furry holes
and i know that in the morning i will wake up
in the shivering cold
and the spiderman is always hungry...
"Come into my parlour", said the spider to the fly... "I have something... "

Heartbeats
one night to be confused
one night to speed up truth
we had a promise made
four hands and then away
both under influense
we had demons in
to know what to say
mind is a razorblade
to call for hands of above
to lean on
wouldn't be good enough
for me, no
one night of magic rush
the start of simple touch
one night to push and scream
and make believes.
ten days of perfect tunes
the colors red and blue
we had a promise made
we were in love
to call for hands of above
to lean on
wouldn't be good enough
for me, no
to call for hands of above
to lean on
wouldn't be good enough
for me, no
and you, you knew you had to fight devil
and you, kept us away with wolf teeths
sharing different heartbeats
in one night
to call for hands of above
to lean on
wouldn't be good enough
for me, no
to call for hands of above
to lean on

A Sunday Smile
("Encore... une fois")
All I want is the best for our lives my dear,
and you know my wishes are sincere.
What's to say for the days I cannot bear
A Sunday smile we wore it for a while.
And at cemetery mile we paused and sang.
A Sunday smile we wore it for a while.
And at cemetery mile we paused and sang
'bout Sunday smiles as we felt clean. (and)
We burnt till the ground left a view to admire
With buildings aside, church of white
Have burnt till the ground left a grave to admire
Hills reach for the sky, reach the church of white.

DOWN IN MEXICO
Down in Mexicali
There's a crazy little place that I know
Where the drinks are hotter, than the chili sauce
And the boss is a cat named Joe
(Chorus)
He wears a red bandana
Plays a cool piana (piano is pronounced piana in this song)
In a honky tonk, down in Mexico
He wears a purple sash, and a black moustache
In honky tonk, down in Mexico
Well, the first time that I saw him
He was sittin on a piano stool
I said "Tell me man, when does the fun begin?"
He just winked his eye and said "Man, be cool."
(Chorus)
He wears a red bandana
Plays a cool piana
In a honky tonk, down in Mexico
He wears a purple sash, and a black moustache
In a honky tonk, down in Mexico
In Mexico...
All of a sudden in walks a chick
In Mexico...
Joe starts playin on a latin kick
In Mexico...
Around her waist she wore three fishnets
In Mexico...
She started dancin with the castanets
In Mexico...
I didn't know just what to expect
In Mexico...
She threw her arms around my neck
In Mexico...
We started dancin all around the floor (In Mexico...)
Until she did a dance I never saw before
So if you're south of the border
I mean down in Mexico
And you wanna get straight
Man, don't hesitate
Just look up a cat named Joe
(Chorus)
He wears a red bandana
Plays a cool piana
In a honky tonk, down in Mexico
He wears a purple sash, and a black moustache
In a honky tonk, down in Mexico
[Spoken by Carl Gardner:]
Yeah, como esta usted senorita
Come with me to the border, south of the border, that is
In Mexico, yeah in Mexico
You can get your kicks in Mexico
Crazy, come with me baby, come with me, come with me, crazy, yeah
strangers soundtrack
Give me one more word
I'm drowning in the wind
Give me one more chance
Give me one more chance
I'll calm you in the wind
Ooh is there some place I see
Where I know it's hard to reach but I keep trying
Ooh and if I walk before I speak
We may not ever meet in these times
In these times
Everywhere I'll be, every place I see
Left with nothing but the wheel
Left with nothing but the wheel
Everywhere I'll be, every place I see
Nothing but the wheel
Left with nothing but the wheel

How did we forget
It's easy, babe
It's easy, babe
It's easy, babe
To make it hard
It's easy, babe
It's easy, babe
It's easy, babe
To make it hard
It's easy, babe
It's easy, babe
It's easy, babe
To make it bad
It's easy, babe
It's easy, babe
It's easy, babe
To make it bad
Easy, easy, easy
Don't make it bad
Easy, easy, easy
Don't make it bad
How did we forget about the love
Forget about the love
How did we forget about the love
Forget about the love
Babe, babe, babe
Breezy - Conor Oberst
Move your slender fingers
Help me play this song
Spend another night inside this rented mansion
I love you now
I know that doesn't matter
I love you now
I know that doesn't matter
Kissing me full of beer, tequila, weed, and candy
Walking down the boardwalk
Act like we were married
You always made it easy
Then I'd want you more
You always kept it easy
Then I'd want you more
Too smart for your own good
Too sweet, too logical
Statistics round your head
Tried to teach me about baseball
My favorite was the part when they make it home
I like it when they steal, and when they make it home
You left us with a sorrow too unreal to help
Heard the birds sound broadcast speakers at the Phoenix hotel
All your friends are standing, crying, on the sidewalk
All your boyfriends, they were standing crying on the sidewalk
Breezy, I feel dizzy
Can you help me up?
It's crowded at the back door
How we getting to the bus?
I'd like to help you find it if there's something better
Yeah, I'll try and help you find it if there's something better
Move your slender fingers
Help me play this song
Spend another night inside this practice mansion
I love you now
I know that's all that matters
I love you now
And I know that's all that matters
which side are you on
Come all you good workers
Good news to you i’ll tell
Of how the good old union
Has come in here to dwell
Which side are you on boys?
Which side are you on?
My daddy was a miner
He’s now in the air and sun
He’ll be with you fellow workers
Until the battle’s won
Which side are you on boys?
Which side are you on?
They say in Harlan County
There are no neutrals there
You’ll either be a union man
Or a thug for J. H. Claire
Which side are you on boys?
Which side are you on?
Oh workers can you stand it?
Oh tell me how you can
Will you be a lousy scab
Or will you be a man?
Which side are you on boys?
Which side are you on?
Don’t scab for the bosses
Don’t listen to their lies
Poor folks ain’t got a chance
Unless they organize
Which side are you on boys?
Which side are you on?
No surprises
A heart that's full up like a landfill,
a job that slowly kills you,
bruises that won't heal.
You look so tired-unhappy,
bring down the government,
they don't, they don't speak for us.
I'll take a quiet life,
a handshake of carbon monoxide,
with no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
Silence, silence.
This is my final fit,
my final bellyache
with no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises please.
Such a pretty house
and such a pretty garden.
No alarms and no surprises (get me outta here),
no alarms and no surprises (get me outta here),
no alarms and no surprises, please.
I've Got You And You've Got Me - New Buffalo
I wanted it so bad
Making all the props
Sitting on my swing
Giving all I've got
But when they dim the lights
Forgetting my stage fright
I find that little smile
Cause I've got you and you've got me
I've got you and you've got me
I light his cigarette
Acting with regret
Saying all my lines
Pretending things are fine
But when the curtains close
Everybody knows
I climb into the space
Where I've got you and you've got me

I've got you and you've got me
What happens when I say
"This may be the last
beautiful day"
I'm dancing in my sleep
With promises I'll keep
Feeling so complete
Cause I've got you and you've got me
I've got you and you've got me
I've got you and you've got me
I've got you and you've got me
I've got you and you've got me
I've got you and you've got me
I've got you and you've got me
I've got you and you've got me
I've got you and you've got me
Everybody knows, everybody knows
I've got you and you've got me
Everybody knows, everybody knows
I've got you and you've got me
Everybody knows
I've got you and you've got me
