PUT THE SCREEN OFF

YOU WILL SEE SO MUCH BETTER

HOW MANY LOVERS ARE GONNA HEED THE CALL

HOW MANY LOVERS IN THE MIDNIGHT ROOM

HAVANNA WHITE, BLUE AND BRICKSTONE WALLS 

HAVANNA WHITE, BLUE AND BRICKSTONE WALLS

PUT THE SCREAM OFF

YOU WILL HEAR SO MUCH BETTER

CITY LIGHTS HAVE CHANGED YOUR FEATHERS

OH OH OOH

FIGHT TO END ALL FIGHTS

 

HOW MANY LOVERS IN THE MIDNIGHT ROOM

HOW MANY LOVERS ARE GONNA HEED THE CALL

Listening to... Blaudzun - Le Chant des Cigales

(download)
We’re all cops in the new age

On our knees in our new age

Sucking blood in the new age

Lock your hearts

Lock the bathroom doors

She took her feet in the new age

Of the ground in the new age

Rebel guns in the new age

Lock your hearts

Lock the bathroom doors

Listening to... Bon Iver - Lump Sum

(download)

Sold my cold knot, a heavy stone
Sold my red horse for a venture home
To vanish on the bow
Settling slow

Fit it all, fit it in the doldrums
Or so the story goes
Color the era
Film it as historical

My mile could not pump the plumb
In my arbor 'till my ardor trumped
Every inner inertia
Lump sum

All at once rushing from the sump-pump
Or so the story goes
Balance we won't know
We will see when it gets warm

Listening to... Lamb - God bless

You're gonna feel the wind at your heels you know
You're gonna feel a sparkle in your step
Everything will touch you in a different way
Let it come, soon come, let it come
'Cause I'm gonna make you feel lighter than the air above

Let me breath it into you
Let me breath it into you
Let me breath it into you

An angel's smiling on everything we do
Let them try to stop this good thing growing
'Cause there's no dark cloud gonna leave a shadow on this
Gotta keep it strong, keep it true, keep it strong
And I'm gonna build you up, and build you up

Gotta keep this natural thing
Gotta keep this precious thing
Gotta keep it going on, and growing strong

Here's to happiness
God bless the day that made me feel this way
Here's to happiness
God bless the day that made me feel this way, feel this way

Gotta keep this natural thing
Gotta keep this precious thing
Gotta keep this natural thing
Gotta keep this precious thing
And I'm gonna keep it going on, and growing strong

Here's to happiness
God bless the day that made me feel this way
Here's to happiness
God bless the day that made me feel this way
Feel this way
Feel this way
Here's here's here's here's to happiness
Here's here's here's here's to happiness
Here's here's here's here's to happiness
To happiness
To happiness

 

Listening to... Adele - Lovesong

(download)
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again

However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again

However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you

Listening to... Lamb - Gabriel

(download)
I can fly
But I want his wings
I can shine even in the darkness
But I crave the light that he brings
Revel in the songs that he sings
My angel Gabriel

I can love
But I need his heart
I am strong even on my own
But from him I never want to part
He's been there since the very start
My angel Gabriel
My angel Gabriel

Bless the day he came to be
Angel's wings carried him to me
Heavenly
I can fly
But I want his wings
I can shine even in the darkness
But I crave the light that he brings
Revel in the songs that he sings
My angel Gabriel
My angel Gabriel
My angel Ángela

Listening to... Wild Beasts - Two Dancers

(download)
I feel as if I've been where you have been
the snow had piled up knee-high in the street
apart, apart
and dancing on
the wanderer
the squanderer
our son was dying and we could hardly eat

they dragged me by the ankles through the street (two hearts)
they passed me round them like a piece of meat
his hairy hands
his falling fists
his dancing cock
down by his knees
I've seen my children turn away from me

O, do you want my bones between your teeth?
they pulled me half-alive out of the sea
apart, apart
and dancing on
impossible
impossible

I feel as if I've been where you have been
I feel as if I've been where you have been

Listening to... Wild Beasts - Invisible

(download)
I see our enemies
I see them on their knees
Crawling across the floor
You kill them all

Outside our door
The gaping hole
Into which all will fall

You have walked through my dreams
And I want you to see this
Open the door
Open the door

You're standing at the maw
Things vanish one by one
Invisible...

Watch them go
All's going to fall
I say my goodbyes
To everyone I know

Goodbye, goodbye
I burn up my lists
We cease to exist
And leave nothing behind

The things I thought I'd want
They vanish one by one
Invisible...

You have walked through my dreams
And I want you to see this
Invisible, Invisible, Invisible

Your lips to my lips

I cease to exist
