Emiliana Torrini: Lifesaver



Lyrics:
Lifesaver
Your timing's really strange
Catch me later
But can you please be late

And it's funny how your thoughts think they're right at all
And it's funny how your cause makes no sense at all

Lifesaver
Let's play a little game
Catch me later
But make sure you'll be there late

And it's funny how it seems you're doing things
And its funny how you find your peace of mind

Lifesaver
I'm cancelling our date
Lifesaver
It's time you had a break

Lifesaver
I'm cancelling our date
Lifesaver
My saver

Radiohead: I Might Be Wrong



Lyrics:

I might be wrong
I might be wrong
I could've sworn I saw a light coming on

I used to think
I used to think
There was no future left at all
I used to think

Open up, begin again
Let's go down the waterfall
Think about the good times and never look back
Never look back

What would I do?
What would I do?
If I did not have you

Open up and let me in
Let's go down the waterfall
Have ourselves a good time, it's nothing at all
It's nothing at all
Nothing at all

Never look back
Never look back

Neil Young: A Man Needs A Maid / Heart Of Gold Suite



Lyrics:

I was thinking that maybe I'd get a maid
Find a place nearby for her to stay.
Just someone to keep my house clean,
Fix my meals and go away.

Afraid. A man feels afraid.
Afraid.

It's hard to make that change
When life and love turn strange.
And cold.

To live a love,
you gotta give a love.
To give a love,
you gotta be "part of"

When will I see you again?

A while ago somewhere I don't know when
I was watching a movie with a friend.
I fell in love with the actress.
She was playing a part that I could understand.

A maid. A man needs a maid.
A maid.


I wanna live, I wanna give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
It's these expressions I never give
That keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old

I've been to Hollywood, I've been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old

I wanna live, I wanna give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold


And when will I see you again?

The Decemberists: The Engine Driver



Lyrics:

I'm an engine driver
On a long run, on a long run
Would I work beside her
She's a long one, such a long one

And if you don't love me let me go
And if you don't love me let me go

I'm a country lineman
On a high line, on a high line
So will be my grandson
There are powerlines in our bloodlines

And if you don't love me let me go
And if you don't love me let me go

And I am a writer, writer of fictions
I am the heart that you call home
And I've written pages upon pages
Trying to rid you from my bones
My bones
My bones

I'm a money lender
I have fortunes upon fortunes
Take my hand for tender
I am tortured, ever tortured

And if you don't love me let me go
And if you don't love me let me go

And I am a writer, writer of fictions
I am the heart that you call home
And I've written pages upon pages
Trying to rid you from my bones
I am a writer, I am all that you have home
Home
And I've written pages upon pages
Trying to rid you from my bones
My bones
My bones

(And if you don't love me let me go)
And if you don't love me let me go
(And if you don't love me let me go)
And if you don't love me let me go

Andy Yorke: Angel



Lyrics:

he built the windows high
said it would last forever
he'd stare all night at the empty sky
to keep his thoughts together

to see the angel once again

she came to him back when
his life was full of promise
and he swore that he had only needed then
swore it would last forever

to see the angel once again
to see the angel once again

you wouldn't let her go
he thought it would last forever
she said that his love was a dead mans love
draining the life from another

to see the angel once again
to see the angel once again
to see the angel once again

and if you're gonna live your life like that
it's gonna let you down
and if you're gonna live your life like that
it's gonna let you down
and if you're gonna live your life like that
it's gonna let you down
and if you're gonna live your life like that
it's gonna let you down

and you won't see the angel once again
to see the angel once again
