FAKE YOU - YOKE LORE

Give me the tools, I'm gonna build a fake you
Give me the tools, I'm gonna build a fake you
Forget all the fights, I'll fill you with light
I'll die with a smile, but my heart will stay wild

I'm scared to break you, but I will never fake it
I'm scared to break you, but I will never fake it
Notice all the ways I wake when all the water sifts down
Later I will grow, later I'll be angry still

It's sin, the way I dig my heels in
I left you in Brooklyn
Alone under the burning stars

But you're the broken wall I wail to
I'll shatter with the real you
No matter how fake you are

I got some calls from my better days
I got wrapped for what I shouldn't say
I got all the truth I needed from the belly of New York
You can look and never find the button that will give you a new song

I call the law when I feel lost
You'll be the clouds over slick moss
I'LL TELL YOU ALL MY DREAMS IF YOU PROMISE ME YOU'LL STAY
And if you find me half dead you will cry with real tears

It's sin, the way I dig my heels in
I left you in Brooklyn
Alone under the burning stars

But you're the broken wall I wail to
I'll shatter with the real you
No matter how fake you are

Give me the tools, I'm gonna build a fake you
Give me the tools, I'm gonna build a fake you

DREAMS TONITE - ALVVAYS

Rode here on the bus
Now you're one of us
It was magic hour

Counting motorbikes
On the turnpike
One of Eisenhower's

Live your life on a merry-go-round
Who starts a fire just to let it go out?

If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight?
If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight?

On the weird guitar
Said you'd go to work
In the waking hour

In fluorescent light
Antisocialites watch a wilting flower

Live your life on a merry-go-round
Who builds a wall just to let it fall down?

If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight?
If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight?
If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight?
If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight?

Don't sit by the phone for me
Wait at home for me
All alone for me

Your face was supposed to be
Hanging over me
Like a rosary

So morose for me
Seeing ghosts of me
Writing oaths to me, is it so naive to wonder

If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight?
If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight?
If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight?
If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight?

IT'S NOT MY FAULT, I'M HAPPY - PASSION PIT

Sorry I couldn't be there 
I was tied to a rocking chair
I was beat down to a pulp rocking back and forth somewhere

If you knew
If you saw
You'd have said it was the final straw
That my life was bound and tethered on a porch by the shore

But there is no no no no
Easy way to tell them so, the things you know
And run run run run
Run they say, they think they know exactly so

It's not right, it's not right
How am I the only one who sees us fight?
What are we? Who are they?
Who says those bastards don't deserve to pay?

Well it's enough, it's just enough 'cause we don't stand a chance
So long you stay around, you're just another song and dance
It's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair
Still I'm the only one who seems to care

It's funny, being funny
Makes you feel like up and running
When your past lingers like rain clouds, casting shadows below

I could live with so many burdens
I'd take all your hope and yearning
But there's no one I want to take me for that petty little rose

I used to glow glow glow glow
Once I had a love to show, a love they know
They're slow slow slow slow
So slow that they never know where I go

It's not right, it's not right
How am I the only one who sees us fight?
What are we? Who are they?
Who says those bastards don't deserve to pay?

Well it's enough, it's just enough 'cause we don't stand a chance
So long you stay around, you're just another song and dance
It's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair
Still I'm the only one who seems to care

I know that it's only something
I'm just working with what I've been given
It's not my fault, I'm happy
Don't call me crazy, I'm happy

It's not right, it's not right
How am I the only one who sees us fight?
What are we? Who are they?
Who says those bastards don't deserve to pay?

Well it's enough, it's just enough 'cause we don't stand a chance
So long you stay around, you're just another song and dance
It's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair
Still I'm the only one who seems to care

YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE - THE STROKES

Some people think they're always right
Others are quiet and uptight
Others they seem so very nice nice nice nice
Inside they might feel sad and wrong

Twenty-nine different attributes
Only seven that you like
Twenty ways to see the world
Twenty ways to start a fight

Oh don't don't don't get up
I can't see the sunshine
I'll be waiting for you, baby
'Cause I'm through

Sit me down
Shut me up
I'll calm down
And I'll get along with you

Oh men don't notice what they got
Women think of that a lot
One thousand ways to please your man
Not even one requires a plan

Countless odd religions, too
It doesn't matter which you choose
One stubborn way to turn your back
This I've tried and now refuse 

Oh don't don't don't get up
I can't see the sunshine
I'll be waiting for you, baby
'Cause I'm through

Sit me down
Shut me up
I'll calm down
And I'll get along with you

Alright
Shut me up
Shut me up
And I'll get along with you

GLASS IN THE PARK - ALEX TURNER

If there's glass in the park
Darling, I can't help but keep making appointments
To sweep beneath the climbing frame

If the sun's in your eyes,

I'll tighten your blindfold, baby
Don't worry your foot won't get cut
Strut carelessly

And when you say that you need me tonight

I can't keep my feelings in disguise
The white parts of my eyeball illuminates

And I'll wait for you

As if I'm waiting for a storm to stop
I've heard them talking
About how I'm gonna put you off

There's glass in the park

And now that I'm up off my knees
I've picked up the speed
To jump your palisades

And I shoot through the night

And suddenly all those once lost concoctions froth
And chase the day away

When you say that you need me tonight

I can't keep my feelings in disguise
The white part of my eyeball illuminates

And I'll wait for you

As if I'm waiting for a storm to stop
I've heard them talking
About how I'm gonna put you off

Tell me, how can I put you off when you're a matter of urgency?

I've got a million things that I need to do, but they're all secondary
Make sure you're not followed
Meet me by the Death Balloon

Paraselene woman, I'm your man on the moon

And like a grain of diamond dust, you float
And my devotion's outer crust cracks
