Don't Be Evil

The lines have all been blurred
To the point of no return
The sickos and the bullies praise your name
You've enriched their lives with pleasure and fame
As corporate as the suits you won't wear
As stupid as the jeans you tear
As evil as the pretence you care
God save us all from Satan's stare
Don't be evil, just be corporate
Fool the world with all your own importance
Portray your tedium for the world to see
Your own movie star and it's for free

The lines have all been blurred
To the point of no return
With normal people living normal lives
Normal things seen through normal eyes
As corporate as the suits you won't wear
As stupid as the jeans you tear
As evil as the pretence you care
God save us all from Satan's stare
Don't be evil, just be corporate
Fool the world with all your own importance
Portray your tedium for the world to see
Your own movie star and it's for free

The music is going, the sun ain't showing
The printed word is all done and dusted
Don't be evil, just be corporate
Fool the world with all your own importance
The music is going, the sun ain't showing
Pretend technology made us equal
Don't be evil, just be corporate
Fool the world with all your own importance

(Manic Street Preachers)

Streets Of Your Town

Round and round, up and down
Through the streets of your town
Everyday I make my way
Through the streets of your town
 
Don't the sun look good today?
But the rain is on its way
Watch the butcher shine his knives
And this town is full of battered wives.

Round and round, up and down
Through the streets of your town
Everyday I make my way
Through the streets of your town

I ride your river under the bridge
I take your boat out to the reach
Cos I love that engine roar
but I still don't know what I'm here for.

Round and round, up and down
Through the streets of your town
Everyday I make my way
Through the streets of your town

they shut it down
they closed it down
they shut it down
they pulled it down.

Round and round, up and down
Through the streets of your town
Everyday I make my way
Through the streets of your town
 
(The Go-Betweens

That Cigarette Keeps Burning

Well you know you did wrong
now you can't wait you no more
and all the words you've been spreading my ear
barely got my fear oh so cruel
now you said you wanna make it right
looking deep into my eyes
you run your zip up and down you must think that I'm a clown but I see
I see you lighting up your cigarette and drinking up your beer
time to seem the freeze then it bust them tears and I saw
I see, I see that cigarette keeps burning
that cigarette keeps burning

Yeah your cigarette keeps burning and now your head is turning
you rise can hide the truth
the mystic of your truth
and your cigarette keeps burning
and you never fail so bleed

Now the ring's got fooling down
looks like you're gonna jump and shout
but you have..terms I'm falling down your bear and us not

 now you walk over to the bed and pass your hand through your hair
and strangers it seems I still now what that mean so I just..
you keep smoking every cigarette and drinking up your bear
in time she seems to freeze, use to bust in tears
and I see, yeah I see

That cigarette keeps burning
That cigarette keeps burning
I see the cigarette keeps burning
cigarette keeps burning

Oh that cigarette keeps burning and your words I'm like are mourning
you are..away when you see you wanna stay
and your cigarette keeps burning
and, and will you bleed
but now the cigarette just stare
and you walk on of the bed
start cleaning up the tears
God we ancient falls and nears
and that's..it's still bad
and we're through

Ohm

Sometimes the bad guys go right on top
Sometimes the good guys lose
We try not to lose our hearts, not to lose our minds

Sometimes the bad days may take their grip
Sometimes the good days fade
But the rain today hurts the drink to drink

But nothing ever stays the same
Nothing’s explained
The harder we go, the longer we pry
Cause this isn’t the road we know
So say good night to me
Lose no more time
No time
Cause it’s been fun

I heard that you called me
From far away, far like the king Tut
Having the force to make it right
So I just cry

I fell to stay good
So been away
Before couldn’t see
Tried once more, lost my will
And we’re gone

But nothing ever stays the same
Nothing’s explained
The longer it takes, we’re loose from the tides
Cause this isn’t the road we know
So say good night Julie
Lose no more time
No time
Cause it’s been fun

But nothing ever stays the same
Nothing’s explained
The stronger the waves, the faster we’ll flood
Cause this isn’t the road we know
So say good night to me
Lose no more time
No time
Cause it’s been fun

Cause it’s been fun
Cause it’s been fun
Cause it’s been fun
Cause it’s been fun

Cause it’s been fun
Cause it’s been fun
Cause it’s been fun
Cause it’s been fun

Cause it’s been fun
Cause it’s been fun
Cause it’s been fun
Cause it’s been fun

Cause it’s been fun
Cause it’s been fun
Cause it’s been fun
Cause it’s been fun

Cause it’s been fun
Cause it’s been fun
Cause it’s been fun
Cause it’s been fun

(Yo La Tengo)

Oh Amadou

Oh Amadou
Tu n'as pas le choix
Oh Amadou
C'est plus fort que toi
Y'a des jours de bonheur
Y'a des jours de malheur
Y'a des moments de plaisir
Des moments qui font souffrir
Oh Amadou
Tu n'as pas le choix
Oh Amadou
C'est plus fort que toi
Y'a des moments de panique
Des moments de lassitude
Y'a des moments où on s'emballe
Des moments où on se relâche
Oh Amadou
Tu n'as pas le choix
Oh Amadou
C'est plus fort que toi
La misère
Personne ne veut la vivre
La souffrance
Personne ne veut la vivre
La galère
Personne ne veut la vivre
Oh Amadou
Tu n'as pas le choix
Oh Amadou
C'est plus fort que toi


(Amadou et Mariam, avec Bertrand Cantat)

Half Moon Bay

The saddest eyes she wore
So longing and forlorn
That made me love you
More and more

The bluest heart she owns
As she gets more and more alone
As the deepest cello drones

The oldest yard-cat sings
Her mournful bellowing
From branches in the trees

The stillest star shines red
With them bring havoc and death
Upon the land they'll sweep

The painful midnight cries
When one leaves a world behind
Leaves a world be, leaves a world behind

And here in Half Moon Bay
Hear the hum of the highway
Hum of the high, hum of the highway

Highway 1
Grey clouds, muted suns

Down by the footbridge stream
I am walking in a dream
Wailing in my dreams

Cuz winter-time was through
I could not be there for you
I couldn't care for you

And hear the traffic come
Down the old Highway 1
Down the Devil's sleighted run

And nothing clears these stains
Not the January rains
Rising in the stream

Down by the bay-leaf tree
Our lonely bird eyes meet
Lonely bird eyes, lonely bird eyes meet

Under the blue moonbeams
I am wandering in my dream
Walking in my, wandering in a dream

Highway 1
Grey clouds, muted suns

Highway 1
Grey clouds, muted suns

(Mark Kozelek)

Great Horned Owl

There’s a valley where you walk
A mountain where you dream
You’re my great horned owl
You fly in-between

What may come to pass
What is yet to be
Appears to you in colors that
Others cannot see

When I’m fast asleep
You are on the prowl
And with your books and tape
You’re my great horned owl
See you in the dusk
Sun is almost down
You are rising for the hunt
You’re my great horned owl
You’re my great horned owl

You’re wrestling the years
Winds are bound to hell
Fear the storm that stays away
You’re my great horned owl

There’s a valley where you walk
A mountain where you dream
You’re my great horned owl
You fly in-between
You fly in-between
You fly in-between
You fly in-between

(Grant-Lee Phillips)

Kill For Love

Everybody's Got A Secret To Hide
Everyone Is Slipping Backwards
I Drank The Water & I Felt Alright
I Took A Pill Almost Every Night
In My Mind I Was Waiting For Change
While The World Just Stayed The Same

Everybody's Got A Secret To Hide
Everyone Is Slipping Backwards
I Can't Remember If I Like What I Said
I Can't Remember It Went Straight To My Head
I Kept A Bottle By The Foot Of The Bed
I Put A Pillow Right On Top Of My Head
But I Killed For Love

Everybody's Got A Secret To HIde
Everyone Is Slipping Backwards
You Say You See It Almost Every Time
A LIttle Number Counting Back To Nine
I Can't Remember If I Like What I Said
I Can't Remember It Went Straight To My Head
But I Killed For Love

Something More Beautiful


Catch your eye with a flame
You know I'll be near
You know I'll be near
Take your time
In the morning light
There's nobody here
There's nobody here

When you feel too much to ever let it show
You turn it up, turn it down, turn it on, turn it round, and leave
When you just don't concede
With what you believe

You want to learn the trick to turn
What's not so pretty
Into something more beautiful
It's the same place
That I learned to turn
What could be sorrow
Into some kind of mercy

When you feel too much to ever let it show
You turn it up, turn it down, tum it off, tum around, and leave
And then I just don't concede
With what to believe

(Beth Orton)
