The Beatles – Yesterday
Yesterday All my troubles seemed so far away Now it looks as though they’re here to stay Oh, I believe in yesterday Suddenly I’m not half the man I used to be There’s a shadow hanging over me Oh, yesterday came suddenlyWhy she had to go I don’t know, she wouldn’t say I said something wrong Now I long for yesterday Yesterday Love was such an easy game to play Now I need a place to hide away Oh, I believe in yesterday
Ah-Ha – Take On Me
We’re talkin’ away I don’t know what I’m to say I’ll say it anyway Today’s another day to find you Shying away I’ll be comin’ for your love, okay? Take on me (Take on me) Take me on (Take on me) I’ll be gone In a day or two So, needless to say I’m odds and ends But I’ll be stumbling away Slowly learnin’ that life is okay Say after me “It’s no better to be safe than sorry”, Oh, things that you say, yeah Is it life or just to play my worries away? You’re all the things I’ve got to remember You’re shying away I’ll be comin’ for you anyway
Liz Phair – Supernova
I have looked all over the place But you have got my favorite face Your eyelashes sparkle like gilded grass And your lips are sweet and slippery Like a cherub’s bare wet ass ‘Cause you’re a human supernova A solar superman You’re an angel with wings of fire A flying, giant friction blast You walk in clouds of glitter And the sun reflects your eyes And every time the wind blows I can smell you in the sky Your kisses are as wicked as an M-16 And you fuck like a volcano And you’re everything to me ‘Cause you’re a human supernova A solar superman You’re an angel with wings of fire A flying, giant friction blast You’re a giant, flying friction blast ‘Cause you’re a human supernova A solar superman You’re an angel with wings of fire A flying, giant friction blast

The Shins – Turn a Square
She shone up bright like a knife Wearing tennis shorts made of stripes Hand in hand to the grass and we got it right Got it nice, nice, nice Just a glimpse of an ankle and I React like it’s 1805 And I’d swim to the poles just to find the right satellite It’ll take all of my strength to give up But you all know I tried So forget about it, girl My head’s like a kite When such a creature I sight To town Where your feet leave no prints on the ground Have I left my home just to whine in this microphone? It gets worse every time that we talk Can’t afford to be just one in a flock But that’s your lot When you’re after such a well-made lock Who was classically trained to give up All my friends know I tried So forget about it, girl Even I don’t know why I can’t just stay the course Keep my hands on the wheel Our detractors were right My head’s like a kite ‘Cause all my thoughts run astray And I’m a walking cliché When such a creature I sight (I can’t just, I can’t just) I can’t just stay the course Keep my hands on the wheel Our detractors were right My head’s like a kite
Van Morrison – Into the Mystic
We were born before the wind Also younger than the sun Ere the bonnie boat was won As we sailed into the mystic Hark, now hear the sailors cry Smell the sea and feel the sky Let your soul and spirit fly Into the mystic And when that foghorn blows I will be coming home, mmhmm hmm And when the foghorn blows I want to hear it I don’t have to fear it And I want to rock your gypsy soul Just like way back in the days of old And magnificently we will float Into the mystic, mmm When that foghorn blows You know I will be coming home, mmm uh And when that foghorn whistle blows I gotta hear it I don’t have to fear it And I wanna rock your gypsy soul Just like way back in the days of old And together we will float Into the mystic, mmm Come on girl Too late to stop now
Animal Collective – Summertime Clothes
Sweet summer night and I’m stripped to my sheets Forehead is leaking, my AC squeaks and A voice from the clock says, “You’re not gonna get tired” My bed is a pool and the walls are on fire Soak my head in the sink for a while Chills on my neck and it makes me smile but My bones have to move and my skin’s gotta breathe You pick up the phone and I’m so relieved You slide down your stairs to the heated street And the sun has left us with slippery feet And I want to walk around with you And I want to walk around with you And be here with you, we’re goin’ It doesn’t really matter, I’ll go where you feel Hunt for the breeze, get a midnight meal I point in the windows, you point out the parks Rip off your sleeves and I’ll ditch my socks We’ll dance to the songs from the cars as they pass Weave through the cardboard, smell that trash Walking around in our summertime clothes Nowhere to go while our bodies glow And we’ll greet the dawn in its morning blues With purple yawn, you’ll be sleeping soon And I want to walk around with you And I want to walk around with you When the sun goes down, we’ll go out again When the sun goes down, we’ll go out again When the sun goes down, we’ll go out again When the sun goes down, we’ll go out again When the sun goes down, we’ll go out again When the sun goes down, we’ll go out again When the sun goes down, we’ll go out again When the sun goes down, we’ll go out again When the sun goes down, we’ll go out again When the sun goes down, we’ll go out again When the sun goes down, we’ll go out again When the sun goes down, we’ll go out again When the sun goes down, we’ll go out again
