"Little Bird" by Imogen Heap

Little bird, little bird, little bird
What do you hear?
The clink of morning cheers
Orange juice concentrate
Crossword puzzles start to grade
One across
Four letter word, it's just not sitting

Little bird, little bird, little bird
What do you see?
A picture perfect scene
Two toned lawns are manicured
The gardens wearing haute couture

It's hiding something
It's trying too hard
Hiding something
It's trying too hard

Little bird, little bird, little bird
Where are they now?
Day time tv lounge
A carriage clock, a mantle piece
A family wiped up, j cloth cleaned
Unsaid, festers in the throws of the sofa

Little bird, little bird, little bird
How are you feeling?
Like? quarantine
Pearly whites, touch down smile
Haps and creases round the eyes

Tell tale, heart sail
We smell rats in the kitchen
Tell tale, heart sail
We smell rats in the kitchen

Little bird, little bird, little bird
What can we do?
A think tank think rescue
Simon says, etch a sketch
Send a golden message only he would get
Quickly now
Cause this is not how it ends

Little bird, little bird, little bird
(Little bird, little bird, little bird)
Well I've got one more question
(Little bird, little bird, little bird)
And I swear I'll let it rest
(Little bird, little bird, little bird)
Well I've just one more question
(Little bird, little bird, little bird)
And I swear I'll let it rest

One more question
I'll let it rest
I swear I'll let it rest
Got one more question
(And I swear I'll let it rest)
I've got one more question

Little bird, little bird, little bird
Where have you gone?

"Satellite Heart" by Anya Marina

So pretty, so smart
Such a waste of a young heart
What a pity, what a sham
What's the matter with you, man?

Don't you see it’s wrong, can't you get it right?
Out of mind and outta sight
Call on all your girls, don't forget the boys
Put a lid on all that noise

I’m a satellite heart
Lost in the dark
I’m spun out so far
You stop, I start
But I'll be true to you

I hear you're living out of state
Running in a whole new scene
They say I haven't slept in weeks
You're the only thing I see

I'm a satellite heart
Lost in the dark
I’m spun out so far
You stop, I start
But I'll be true to you

I’m a satellite heart
Lost in the dark
I’m spun out so far
You stop I start
But I'll be true to you
No matter what you do
Yeah I’ll be true to you
Oooooooooo

"The Winter Song" by Eisley

Walking home with the snow
It is falling down
Passing by lit windows
The people inside, they wave from the glow

Chimney smoke billowing
Snowflakes on my lashes
Oh one starry night I was walking
And singing this song

La la la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la

Walking home with the snow
It is falling down
Passing by lit windows
The people inside, they wave from the glow

Chimney smoke billowing
Snowflakes on my lashes
Oh one starry night I was walking
And singing this song

[Singing]La la la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la

It's that day again
It's that time of year
With our smiling faces
We will sing with cheer

La la la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la

"Curse Your Branches" by David Bazan

red and orange or red and yellow
in which of these do you believe
if you’re not sure right now please take a moment
i need your signature before you leave

when i sleep i’m usually dreaming
though more and more it’s only one
where every hired gun i’ve ever fired
is making love to you while i look on

all fallen leaves should curse their branches
for not letting them decide where they should fall
and not letting them refuse to fall at all

digging up the root of my confusion
if no one planted it, then how does it grow
and why are some hell bent upon there being an answer
while some are quite content to answer i don’t know

all fallen leaves should curse their branches
for not letting them decide where they should fall
and not letting them refuse to fall at all

"Hard to Be" by David Bazan

You’ve heard the story
You know how it goes
Once upon a garden
We were lovers with no clothes
Fresh from the soil
We were beautiful and true
In control of our emotions
Til we ate the poison fruit

And now it’s hard to be
Hard to be, hard to be
A decent human being

Wait just a minute
You expect me to believe
That all this misbehaving
Grew from one enchanted tree
And helpless to fight it
We should all be satisfied
With this magical explanation
For why the living die

And why it’s hard to be
Hard to be, hard to be
A decent human being

Childbirth is painful
We toil to grow our food
Ignorance made us hungry
Information made us no good
Every burden misunderstood

So I swung my tassle
To the left side of my cap
Knowing after graduation
There would be no going back
And no congratulations
From my faithful family
Some of whom are already fasting
To intercede for me

Because it’s hard to be…..

"Marvelous Things" by Eisley

I awoke the dawn
Saw horses growing out the lawn
Ah ah .....

I glimpsed a bat with butterfly wings
Oh what marvelous things
Ah ah....

Dark night...hold tight, and sleep tight
My baby
Morning light...shall burst bright
And keep us here safely

I followed a rabbit
Through rows of mermaid entwined Shrubbery
Ah ah....

Oh what marvelous things but, they are, they are, they are
Giving me the creeps

Dark night...hold tight, and sleep tight
My baby
Morning light...shall burst bright
And keep us here safely

Oh...lying in the sun
Everday feeling all of the magic in life
You might find the wonder.....

Dark night...hold tight, and sleep tight
My baby
Morning light...shall burst bright
And keep us here safely

Morning light...shall burst bright
And keep us here safely
Ah ah.....

"I Will Follow You into the Dark" by Death Cab for Cutie

Love of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
Cause we'll hold each other soon
The blackest of rooms

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark

"Dear Jamie... Sincerely Me" by Hellogoodbye

Dear Jamie I've got a letter I would like to send
It's lacking strings of words with punctuation at the end.
Should I trust this dialect?
To convey the right effect?

Dear Jamie I've got some things I'd like to set in pen
I would have used a pencil but lead's just not permanent.
Should I trust my printer's ink?
To express the things I think?

Every page I tried my best to think of something to contest
With inside jokes and all the folks could have much more to say

Dear Jamie this envelope will represent my heart
I'll seal it, send it off and wish it luck with its depart.
This stamp will be every action that carry my affection
Across the air and land and sea
Should I trust the postage due?
To deliver my heart to you?

Every page I tried my best to think of something to contest
With inside jokes and other folks who have much more to say

Every page I tried my best to think of something to contest
With inside jokes and other folks who have much more to say

Give you all I can
Flower and a hand
I hope this helps you see
Signed Sincerely me.

"You Could Be Happy" by Snow Patrol

You could be happy and I won't know
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go

And all the things that I wished I had not said
Are played in loops 'till it's madness in my head

Is it too late to remind you how we were
But not our last days of silence, screaming, blur

Most of what I remember makes me sure
I should have stopped you from walking out the door

You could be happy, I hope you are
You made me happier than I'd been by far

Somehow everything I own smells of you
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true

Do the things that you always wanted to
Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do

More than anything I want to see you, girl
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world

"When They Really Get to Know You, They Will Run" by Pedro the Lion

What makes you think that it won't grow back
In a day or two
Husbands in winter, they know the truth
But what can they do
I don't like girls the way they are
So shave their legs, and make them look like movie stars
Then we can pretend it's natural
Put on whatever makes you attractive
If it's not you, then do it for the sake of fashion
If your friends like a certain you, that's who you've got to be

Junior high legs; blond hair gone brown
From removing it
Waxing since thirteen - wisdom from a beauty queen
Her tiara digging deep in her head

Put on whatever makes you attractive
If it's not you, then do it for the sake of fashion
If your friends like a certain you, that's who you have to be
That's who you've got to be

I'm starting to think that I'm kinda shy or at least I'd like to be

Winter legs give me heart attacks so take it off with laser, so it never comes back
So we can pretend it's natural

"Options" by Pedro the Lion

We were walking, holding hands,
With our bare feet in the sand
And the seagulls overhead
When I broke the spell and said
I could never divorce you without a good reason
And though I may never have to,
It's good to have options

But for now, I need you
But for now, I need you
But for now, I need you

But it was only in my head
Because no one ever says
What they really mean to say
When there's so much at stake
So I told her I loved her
And she told me she loved me
And I mostly believed her
And she mostly believed me

"Gravity" by Sara Bareilles

Something always brings me back to you
It never takes too long
No matter what I say or do
I still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone

You hold me without touch
You keep me without chains
I never wanted anything so much
Than to drown in your love and not feel your rain

Set me free, leave me be
I don't wanna fall another moment into your gravity
Here I am and I stand so tall
I'm just the way I'm supposed to be
But you're on to me and all over me

You loved me 'cause I'm fragile
When I thought that I was strong
But you touch me for a little while
And all my fragile strength is gone

Set me free, leave me be
I don't wanna fall another moment into your gravity
Here I am and I stand so tall
I'm just the way I'm supposed to be
But you're on to me and all over me

I live here on my knees
As I try to make you see
That you're everything I think I need
Here on the ground

But you're neither friend nor foe
Though I can't seem to let you go
The one thing that I still know
Is that you're keeping me down
You're keeping me down

You're on to me, on to me and all over
Something always brings me back to you
It never takes too long

"Ageless Beauty" by Stars

Ageless beauty
Cruelty makes it's holes
But on the shoreline
Time will hold it's promise
We will always be a light
You can see it from the surface, see it
We will always be a light
You can see it from the surface, see it
We will always be a light
Tattered fingers
Linger on the warm and foolish
Hardened faces
Graceless, we'll lose the battle
We will always be a light
You can see it from the surface, see it
We will always be a light
You can see it from the surface, see it
We will always be a light
Oceans won't freeze
So loosen your heart
Underestimated
Undefeated in this love
We will always be a light
You can see it from the surface, see it
We will always be a light
You can see it from the surface, see it
We will always be a light

"Your Ex-Lover Is Dead" by Stars

God that was strange to see you again
Introduced by a friend of a friend
Smiled and said 'yes I think we've met before'
In that instant it started to pour,
Captured a taxi despite all the rain
We drove in silence across pont champlain
And all of that time you thought I was sad
I was trying to remember your name...

This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin
Tried to reach deep but you couldn't get in
Now you're outside me
You see all the beauty
Repent all your sin

It's nothing but time and a face that you lose
I chose to feel it but you couldn't choose
I'll write you a postcard
I'll send you the news
From a house down the road from real love...

Live through this, and you won't look back...
Live through this, and you won't look back...
Live through this, and you won't look back...

There's one thing I want to say so I'll be brave
You were what I wanted
I gave what I gave
I'm not sorry I met you
I'm not sorry it's over
I'm not sorry there's nothing to say

I'm not sorry there's nothing to say...
