Vampire Weekend – Horchata

November 9th, 2009 § 0 comments § permalink

In December drinking horchata
I’d look psychotic in a balaclava
Winter’s cold is too much to handle
Pincher crabs that pinch at your sandals



(Whoaaaaa ooooh)


In December drinking horchata
Look down your glasses at that Aranciata
With lips and teeth to ask how my day went
Boots and fists to pound on the pavement
Here comes a feeling you thought you’d forgotten
Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on


(Whoaaaaaa ooooh)


You’d remember drinkin horchata
You’d still enjoy it with your foot on masada


Winter’s cold is too much to handle
Pincher crabs that pinch at your sandals
Here comes a feeling you thought you’d forgotten
Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on
Ooh you had it but oh no you lost it
Lookin back you shouldn’t have fought it


In December, drinkin horchata
I’d look psychotic in a balaclava
Winter’s cold is too much to handle
Pincher crabs that pinch at your sandals
Years go by and hearts start to harden
Those palms and firs that grew in your garden
Falling down and nearing the rose beds


The roots are shooting up through the tool shed
Those lips and teeth that asked how my day went
Are shouting up through cracks in the pavement


Here comes a feeling you thought you’d forgotten
Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on
Oh you had it but oh no you lost it
You understood so you shouldn’t have fought it


Here comes a feeling you thought you’d forgotten
Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on
Here comes a feeling you thought you’d forgotten
Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on

Steely Dan: Peg

I’ve seen your picture
Your name in lights above it
This is your big debut
It’s like a dream come true
And when you smile for the camera
I know they’re gonna love it

I like your pin shot
I keep it with your letter
Done up in blueprint blue
It sure looks good on you
So won’t you smile for the camera
I know I’ll love you better

Peg
It will come back to you
Peg
It will come back to you
Then the shutter falls
You see it all in 3-D
It’s your favorite foreign movie

James Blunt: You’re Beautiful

August 5th, 2009 § 0 comments § permalink

My life is brilliant.

 

My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I’m sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won’t lose no sleep on that,
‘Cause I’ve got a plan.

 

You’re beautiful. You’re beautiful.
You’re beautiful, it’s true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don’t know what to do,
‘Cause I’ll never be with you.

 

Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Flying high,
And I don’t think that I’ll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.

 

You’re beautiful. You’re beautiful.
You’re beautiful, it’s true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don’t know what to do,
‘Cause I’ll never be with you.

 

You’re beautiful. You’re beautiful.
You’re beautiful, it’s true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it’s time to face the truth,
I will never be with you
 

 

Panic at the Disco: That Green Gentleman

August 1st, 2009 § 0 comments § permalink

Things are shaping up to be pretty odd.
Little deaths in musical beds.
So it seems I’m someone I’ve never met.

 

You will only hear these elegant crimes,
Fall on your ears from criminal dimes.
They spill unfound from a pretty mouth.

 

Everybody gets there and everybody gets their way.
I never said I missed her when everybody kissed her,
Now I’m the only one to blame.

 

Things have changed for me, and that’s okay.
I feel the same, I’m on my way, and I say.

 

I want to go where everyone goes,
I want to know what everyone knows
I want to go where everyone feels the same

 

I never said I’d leave the city,
I never said I’d leave this town.
A falling out we won’t tiptoe about.

I hope all my days
Will be lit by your face
I hope all the years
Will hold tight our promises

 

I don’t wanna be old and sleep alone
An empty house is not a home
I don’t wanna be old and feel afraid

 

I don’t wanna be old and sleep alone
An empty house is not a home
I don’t wanna be old and feel afraid

 

And if I need anything at all

 

I need a place
That’s hidden in the deep
Where lonely angels sing you to your sleep
Though all the world is broken

 

I need a place
Where I can make my bed
A lover’s lap where I can lay my head
Cos now the room is spinning
The day’s beginning

-Keane
