The Arcade Fire: Windowsill



Lyrics:

I don't wanna hear the noises on TV
I don't want the salesmen coming after me
I don't wanna live in my father's house no more

I don't want it faster, I don't want it free
I don't wanna show you what they done to me
I don't wanna live in my father's house no more

I don't wanna choose black or blue
I don't wanna see what they done to you
I don't wanna live in my father's house no more

Because the tide is high
And it's rising still
And I don't wanna see it at my windowsill

I don't wanna give em my name and address
I don't wanna see what happens next
I don't wanna live in my father's house no more

I don't wanna live with my father's debt
You can't forgive what you can't forget
I don't wanna live in my father's house no more

I don't wanna fight in the holy war
I don't want the salesmen knocking at my door
I don't wanna live in America no more

Because the tide is high
And it's rising still
And I don't wanna see it at my windowsill

I don't wanna see it at my windowsill
I don't wanna see it at my windowsill
I don't wanna see it at my windowsill

MTV what have you done to me?
Save my soul, set me free
Set me free, what have you done to me?
I can't breathe, I can't see
World war three, when are you coming for me?
Been kicking up sparks to set the flames free
The windows are locked now, so what'll it be?
A house on fire or the rising sea?

Why is the night so still?
Why did I take the pill?
Because I don't wanna see it at my windowsill

I don't wanna see it at my windowsill
I don't wanna see it at my windowsill
I don't wanna see it at my windowsill

I don't wanna see it at my windowsill
(I don't wanna see it at my windowsill)
I don't wanna see it at my windowsill
(I don't wanna see it at my windowsill)
I don't wanna see it at my windowsill
(I don't wanna see it at my windowsill)

I don't wanna see it at my windowsill
(I don't wanna see it at my windowsill)
I don't wanna see it at my windowsill
(I don't wanna see it at my windowsill)
I don't wanna see it at my windowsill
(I don't wanna see it at my windowsill)

Radiohead: True Love Waits (Live)



Lyrics:

I'll drown my beliefs
To have you be in peace
I'll dress like your niece
To wash your swollen feet

Just don't leave
Don't leave

I'm not living
I'm just killing time
Your tiny hands
Your crazy kitten smile

Just don't leave
Don't leave

And true love waits
In haunted attics
And true love lives
On lollipops and crisps

Just don't leave
Don't leave

Just don't leave
Don't leave

Neil Young: Heart of Gold



Lyrics:

I want to live, I want to 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

Keep me searching for a heart of gold
You keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
I've been a miner for a heart of gold

Radiohead: The Gloaming



Lyrics:

Genie let out of the bottle,
It is now the witching hour...
Genie let out of the bottle,
It is now the witching hour...
Murderers, you're murderers.
We are not the same as you.

Genie let out of the bottle,
Funny how, funny how-
When the walls bend, when the walls bend,
With your breathing, with your breathing.
When the walls bend, when the walls bend,
With your breathing, with your breathing.
With your breathing...

They will suck you down to the other side,
They will suck you down to the other side,
They will suck you down to the other side,
They will suck you down to the other side.
To the shadows blue and red, shadows blue and red,
Your alarm bells, your alarm bells,
Shadows blue and red, shadows blue and red,
Your alarm bells, your alarm bells...

They should be ringing,
They should be ringing,
They should be ringing,
They should be ringing,
They should be ringing,
They should be ringing,
They should be ringing,
They should be ringing,
They should be ringing,
They should be ringing,
They should be ringing,
They should be ringing...
This is the gloaming.

Shadows blue and red,
Shadows blue and red,
Your alarm bells,
Your alarm bells...
Shadows blue and red,
Shadows blue and red,
We're alarming-
We're alarming-
And the walls bend, and the walls bend,
With your breathing, with your breathing.
And the walls bend, and the walls bend,
What is he doing? What is he doing?

This is the gloaming
This is the gloaming
This is the gloaming
This is the gloaming
This is the-

Tom Waits: Watch Her Disappear



Lyrics:

Last night I dreamed that I was dreaming of you
And from a window across the lawn I watched you undress
Wearing your sunset of purple tightly woven around your hair
That rose in strangled ebony curls
Moving in a yellow bedroom light
The air is wet with sound
The faraway yelping of a wounded dog
And the ground is drinking a slow faucet leak
Your house is so soft and fading as it soaks the black summer heat
A light goes on and the door opens
And a yellow cat runs out on the stream of hall light and into the yard

A wooden cherry scent is faintly breathing the air
I hear your champagne laugh
You wear two lavender orchids
One in your hair and one on your hip
A string of yellow carnival lights comes on with the dusk
Circling the lake with a slowly dipping halo
And I hear a banjo tango

And you dance into the shadow of a black poplar tree
And I watched you as you disappeared
I watched you as you disappeared
I watched you as you disappeared
I watched you as you disappeared
