“Are you really so hard?
Are you really so hard in your heart?”
Toutes les nuits | Les Calamités
The Fall | Beat Happening
“we were walking along the street
and i fell down, and you said to me, you said,
‘calvin you’re my guy with incredible blue eyes
but i’ve got to live my own life’”
This is probably my second favourite song by Beat Happening. I’m not sure why I like it so much. But then again, I’m not sure why I even like Beat Happening so much.
Eighties Fan | Camera Obscura
“I’m gonna tell you something good about yourself
I’ll say it now and I’ll never say it about no one else”
Black Tambourine.
You & Me | Tiger Trap
“Bees are buzzing up in my head
I’m trying to think of all the things that you have said
Now I’m finding the words to say
But the springtime takes me so very far away”
“Early morning by the harbour
the clouds above form one sheet that’s grey
Early morning by the harbour
Where you are
Where you now are
You have nothing to live up to
You have nothing to live down
Emma’s house is empty
so why do I call it Emma’s house?
Five to six that’s what the time is
the cold cuts through my shirt of cotton made
Five to six that’s what the time is
Where you are
Where you now are
You have nothing to live up to
You have nothing to live down
Emma’s house is empty
so why do I call it Emma’s house?
Where you are
Where you now are
You have nothing to live up to
You have nothing to live down
Emma’s house is empty
so why do I call it Emma’s house?”
“One day, when the world is set to rights
I’m going to murder all the people I don’t like
The people who have left me down without reserve
The people who are cruel to those that don’t deserve
The people who talk too much
The people who don’t care
The people whose lives are going
nowhere
The people who just give in
The people who don’t fight
The people I don’t like
The people who broke my heart so bad it never mends
The people who wrecked my life & all my so-called friends
The people who don’t know when to forget & forgive.
These are the people who do not deserve to live.
The people who talk too much, The people who don’t care
The people whose lives just leave me crying in despair
The people who told me I was wrong & they were right
The people I don’t like.”
One of my favourite love(?) songs. I’ve always wanted to perform it live with somebody, where I’d be the bitter male vocalist who talks more than actually sings, and the other person would be the peppy female singer.
“My boyfriends says he will leave me
Should I (A)
Get down on your knees
Should I (B)
Tell him where to go
Or should I (C)
Kiss him until it shows
Your boyfriend’s got no fashion sense
Should you (A)
Try not to take offense
Should you (B)
Tell him to go to Next
Or should you (C)
Kiss him and forget
If you’re an (A) you will see
You’ll get chucked and end up unhappy
If you’re a (B) you will find
That’s cool but hey don’t be so unkind
And if you’re a (C), you’ll end up like me
And love with bowl you over
If you’re a (C), you’ll end up like me
Don’t play games if you’re broken-hearted
Don’t try to finish what you ain’t got started
And if you’ve got problems
Then don’t bring them to me
My girlfriend’s getting sick of me
Should I (A)
Change your personality
Should I (B)
Put her love to the test
Or should I (C)
Kiss her till she’s obsessed
Your girlfriend fancies your best friend
Should you (A)
Stick around with them
Should you (B)
Tell them “That’s just fine”
Or should you (C)
Kiss her till she’s mine
You’re looking at me like you only half believe my story
How can I purse my lips and kiss when I’m in such a fury
Don’t think my heart ain’t jumping,
pumping, slumping through the floor
Me oh my it’s true
But I need you
The smile that I put on to mask a face that’s more than nervous
Is never hard when I recall that I just don’t deserve this
Don’t think my heart ain’t quaking, shaking, breaking open but it’s
What I must do
If I want you
C, C, C, C, C, C, C is the heavenly option”
