// handsome furs. i'm confused.

i saw their lights on the boulevard
my blood ran like water back and forth.
somebody's out there
there's nothing to do
my mind was set on you.

// rob klerkx. she said.

// vagina panther. dave, you're killing me.

// type. man crush (no homo).

// the tallest man on earth. i will follow the rain.

have you ever seen the locusts,
clean his wings right after a plague,
like descendin' of a dark cloud,
dim the sunlight to end the day,
to kill the sunlight to end the day,
yes, it will follow the rain.

// romo roto. caterpillar massacre.

// stornoway. zorbing.

send my body out to work
but leave my senses
in orbit over south east london.
wind the window down and pinch
me on the shoulder
whilst i'll be driving off to dream of.

// get well soon. angry young man.

// poni hoax antibodies.

// golden silvers. please venus.

please venus lay your head down low.
tomorrow find somewhere else to call your home
when you rise again the dunes will dance.
the sand will sing the silver shells will glow
oh your love has gone but your not alone.

// amos. xxxmas.

// julian casablancas. 11th dimension.

i'll just nod, i've never been so good at shaking hands.
i live on the frozen surface of a fireball
where cities come together to hate each other in the name of sport.
america, nothing is ever just anything
i looked up to you, but you thought i would look the other way.

// erdmöbel. muss der heilige nikolaus sein.

wer lacht: 'hohoho', statt 'ha'?

// miike snow. silvia.

reach the city steps tonight
following the power lines
met a man barside with eclipses for eyes
and you tell yourself you wont let them touch
did i say too much did i say enough?
i don't know silvia.

// christopher smith. christmas day.

// editors. you don't know love.

you ran with the dead today.
fill the cemeteries where ghosts still play.
before you run look out further away
one look at the soaring sight.
every little thing you die to hide
you know the truth when you lie.

// miles benjamin anthony robinson. the sound.

sometimes it fills you up.
most times it lets you down.
right when we woke up
there was nothing much on around.
do you remember the sound?

// late of the pier. blueberry.

explosions of warm air flow
excite and invite my soul
to know that your love is where you live.
on a cloud. in the sunshine.
all around. you live.

// tocotronic. macht es nicht selbst.

mach es nicht selbst,
ob du versendest oder bestellst.
was du auch machst,
mach es nicht selbst.
wer zu viel selber macht,
der macht sich krumm,
ausgenommen selbstauslöschung.

// hot chip. one life stand.

moments keep us guessing
and lead us from temptation.
but better to embrace them
and measure our relation.
i only want to be your one life stand.

// yeti lane. lonesome george.

// element of crime. am ende denk ich immer nur an dich.

wie viele erdbeereise muss der mensch noch essen
bevor er endlich einmal sagt: ich bin dafür.
die böse tat des beinestellens zu unterlassen
und darf ich irgendwann nochmal zurück zu dir?

// clothes make the man. privy.

// kevin devine. splitting up christmas.

so i have been thinking of splitting up christmas
to see everyone i'd like to see
and your first on that list
you're the lotto i hit.
you're the star at the top of my tree
and I have been feeling this good for a reason.

// phoenix. lisztomania.

so sentimental
not sentimental, no!
romantic, not discussing it
darling i'm down and lonely
when we're the fortunate only
i've been looking for something else.
duel it, duel it, duel it, juggle it, duel it, duel it!

// william fitzsimmons. covered in snow.

we're holding out for you
covered in snow.
we'll keep the lights on low
in the spring.
we'll do this every year
'till christmas finds you here.

// the avett brothers. slight figure of speech.

a slight figure of speech
i cut my chest wide open
they come and watch us bleed
is it art like i was hoping now?

// young rebel set. if i was.

i've wasted so much time
writing songs and playing on my guitar.
i've wasted so much love
oh i wish i'd never learnt to play a note.

// dead kids. german heart.

// (niemand) mit jemand anderem. bitch blues.

bitch, ich will tanzen sehen,
dich von allen seiten seh'n.
der beat, der sound, die atmosphäre,
wie gern ich jetzt in deiner nähe wäre.
tanz tanz tanz,
im grellen neonlicht
mir kommt es so vor,
als tanzt du nur für mich.

// lightspeed champion. marlene.

stick a spoon into your heart,
and eat away all your deutschmarks.
your money don't mean a damn thing
i'm wearing everything i own,
stop being cool.

// the black and white years. two reservoirs.

// eels. in my younger days.

// kid cudi feat. mgmt & ratatat. pursuit of happiness.

tell me what you know about dreams, dreams
tell me what you know about night terrors, nothin'
you don't really care about the trials of tomorrow
rather lay awake in a path full of sorrow.
i'm on the pursuit of happiness
and i know everything that shine ain't always gonna be gold, hey
i'll be fine once i get it, i'll be good.

// race horses. man in my mind.

// biffy clyro. many of horror.

sittting in a wishing hole,
hoping it stays dry.
feet cast in solid stone,
i got gilligan's eyes.

// the picturebooks. you cannot make it right.

// fanfarlo. harold t. wilkins.

in a tunnel, everyone will kick and scream,
and come to the same conclusion every time.
time to realize you were never on the team,
that was always the question hanging over you.

// jenny owen youngs. last person.

life is like t-rex and stillness will sweep you away to where it stays
cause you're feeling like the last person left on the planet tonight.
and your scanning the horizon seeking out signs of life
and you pray that you're wrong but you're right
so hold on tight.

// bob dylan. must be santa.

dasher, dancer
prancer, vixen
comet, cupid
donner
and blitzen.

// holiday shores. edge of our lives.

// why? a sky for shoeing horses under.

my dad wore this face in old photographs
calico cats out stare me from behind a junkyard fence
high on khat i let my stare go soft but pretend it's not.
i only played chess once in my life and i lost.
looks like a sky for shoeing horses under
looks like a good sky to die under.

// lord cut-glass. look after your wife.

deep in the night you get a fright
you are the product of the modern man.
thirty-thousand years fighting tigers and bears
it ends with you, the very modern man.

// these new puritans. we want war.

// bombadil. so many ways to die.

three thousand different ways
they could've rearranged your dna
but I believe just for today that
you can conquer your affliction of the brain.

// hunks + friends. the magic of christmas.

- daddy, what's this?
- it's a christmas song!?
- but it sounds just like every other christmas song?!
- well, that's the magic of christmas!

// the dodos. long form.

so stand besides, indubious ones
with conquered eyes, the things that there living on
suicide, your repertoire
they criticize us, to create this relation to
us!

// blockflöte des todes. happy birthday jesus.

happy birthday jesus, ich bleib heut mal allein
und stoße auf dich an mit einem tetrapack glühwein.

// shout out louds. walls.

need a pencil, piece of paper and lock in a cage.
feel so much better now, getting rid of my rage
i'm suspicious, i'm suspicious i can't get my mind straight
and you see them when I speak nowaday, so speak now
and go.

// the twilight sad. seven years of letters.

it's a sorry affair
we're on a hiding to nowhere.
it's only right to swear
and they say that i won't answer you back.
it's the dance that we'll never share
and the alarms that you can't do without.
