Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Mermaids

She was a catch, 

We were a match 

I was the match that would fire up her snatch 

There was a catch 

I was no match 

I was fired from her crutch 

Now I sit around and watch 

The mermaids sun themselves out on the rocks 

They are beyond our touch 

I watch and watch 

Wave at me 

They wave at me 

They wave and slip 

Back into the sea 

All the ones who come 

All the ones who go 

Down to the water 

All the ones who come 

All the ones who go 

Down to the sea 

I believe in God 

I believe in mermaids too 

I believe in 72 virgins on a chain (why not, why not) 

I believe in the rapture 

For I've seen your face 

On the floor of the ocean 

At the bottom of the ray 

I do drive a relentless course 

I do husband alertness course 

I do mermaid alertness course 

Watch them out on the rocks 

Wave at me 

Wave at me 

They wave and slip 

Back into the sea 

All the ones who come 

All the ones who go 

Down to the water 

All the ones who come 

And all the ones who go 

Down to the sea 

For all the ones who come 

And all the ones who go 

Down to the water 

All the ones who come 

And all the ones who go 

Down to the sea

The XX - Missing You

Trobar-te a faltar és tenir la certesa de que les coses són millors amb tu al costat.

My heart is beating in a different way

Been gone such a long time, I don't feel the same

My heart is beating in a different way

Been gone such a long time

Will you miss me (How did I? How did ? How did I? oh)

When there's nothing to see? (How did I? How did ? How did I? oh)

Tell me, how did this come to be? (How did I? How did ? How did I? oh)

And now there's no hope for you and me

My heart is beating in a different way

Been gone such a long time, I don't feel the same

My heart is beating in a different way

Been gone such a long time

Do you still believe (Ahh, ahh, ahh, oh)

In you and me? (Ahh, ahh, ahh, oh)

Are we all we could be? (Ahh, ahh, ahh, oh)

Is it meant to be?

My heart is beating in a different way

Been gone such a long time, I don't feel the same

My heart is beating in a different way

Been gone such a long time

My heart is beating in a different way

Been gone such a long time

The Temper Trap- Rabbit Hole

I don't wanna be the only one around here

Everything seems fallen on death ears

Come to get you if you make another sound

Make you an example since you're crawling home

Anyone who listens is gonna get this when the water floods down

To the rabbit hole

Hands up if you think you're gonna save us time

We always shoot the messenger for talking too loud

We'll keep you on the run

Weekend will be gone

Every which way you go they're gonna hunt you down

Making you believe that all the sticks and bricks can get you stoned

Cause anyone who listens is gonna get this when the water floods down

To the rabbit hole

Did we gone around

You think we got around no more

Just feed them with flame

Arresting the fight

And it's a cold day in hell

It'll be a cold day in hell

Growing up

Just feeding the flame

Arresting the fight

With fire, with fire, with fire

Rabbit hole

GOD HELP THE GIRL - PERFECTION AS A HIPSTER

Esgotant els darrers cops de cua de les vacances paga la pena tornar a retrobar-nos amb tranquil.litat i, especialment, amb molt d'estil. Algun cop hauré de reconèixer obertament la meva admiració envers Neil Hannon i la seva meravellosa manera de cantar. Cap a Belle & Sebastian ja la dono per suposada.

They never met, the singer and the swinger

She walked in, they walked around each other

Fighting for the mirror and smiling

She was awkward

I was tongue tied

She was goofy

And she aspired to perfection as a hipster

And she asked me

?How should I wear my problem hair

My dirty, no good problem hair??

She asked me

I blew it

I knew it

I always wonder how things could?ve been

(I wouldn?t waste time dreaming about me)

Spend every second day just

dreaming how the ?rst one ought to be

My dream was realised but I was sleeping

I was sleeping

I caught the girl, her eyelids started to ?utter

And in my arms

She passed out cold, are you okay?

Just lie still you?ll feel better

(What happened? I want to go home)

Feel better

(Where am I, what have I got on?)

Feel better

(You say that but how do you know?)

Feel better

(Who are you, what do you want?)

I always wonder how things could?ve been

(I wouldn?t waste time dreaming about me)

Spend every second day just

dreaming how the ?rst one ought to be

My dream was realised but I was sleeping

I was sleeping

I was sleeping

I was sleeping
