I haven’t been posting links to songs for a while now. I hope this one makes up for it.

Close Your Eyes by Young Love’s Frontman

(Accoustic Version)

Close your eyes

Don’t want you to see 

Where I’m taking you tonight 

Let’s just say 

It’s a surprise 

Seeing you again 

What a surprise 

To be with you again

I’m a man 

On the scene 

See you around 

The same way I always do 

See you around 

The same way I always do

See you around 

You know I’m hoping to 

Where are we going 

Have we gone too far 

Losing our clothing 

Have we gone too far 

What a surprise 

Seeing you again 

What a surprise 

To be with you again 

See you around 

The same way I always do 

See you around 

You know I’m hoping to

Where are we going? 

Just close your eyes 

Till we get there 

You won’t know where I hope

See you around

The way I always do you 

It’s always a surprise 

To be with you

Feeling Good by Muse

Birds flying high you know how I feel

Sun in the sky you know how I feel

Breeze driftin’ on by you know how I feel

It’s a new dawn

It’s a new day

It’s a new life

For me

And I’m feeling good

Fish in the sea you know how I feel

River running free you know how I feel

blossom in the trees you know how I feel

It’s a new dawn

It’s a new day

It’s a new life

For me

And I’m feeling good

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don’t you know

Butterflies all havin’ fun you know what I mean

Sleep in peace when day is done

And this old world is a new world

And a bold world

For me

Stars when you shine you know how I feel

Scent of the pine you know how I feel

Oh freedom is mine

And you know how I feel

It’s a new dawn

It’s a new day

It’s a new life

For me

And I’m feeling good

The Ghost of Old Bull Lee by Arthur & Yu

Only matador has bent belief, has fall about

A viva voce now, a viva voce now

The call for cat’s paw for the holy outlaw

Don’t need to be part of a scene to cause a scene

So cause a scene

Give us the ghost of old Bull Lee

Give us the ghost of old Bull Lee

Oh bull the china shop then bust the ballroom down

A ouija calling out, a ouija calling out

The names for shotgun are pulling it all apart

And build it back within a pack of holy hands and hearts of kingdom come

Give us the ghost of old Bull Lee

Give us the ghost of old Bull Lee

Wo-ooh-oh-oh séance, séance, séance, séance 

Oh séance, séance, séance, séance

Oh séance, séance, séance, séance

Oh séance, séance

Old Bull Lee had a Benzedrine inhaler

And he was a fine exterminator

And he wiped those bugs out, wiped those bugs out

Those bugs out, those bugs out

Give us the ghost of old Bull Lee

Give us the ghost of old Bull Lee

Give us the ghost of old Bull Lee

Give us the ghost of old Bull Lee

I’m a Pilot by Fanfarlo

You can’t trust that sign

You’re sleepin’ in all the time 

You’ll see me on the screen 

Through all the other soul’s dark walls 

With a sword 

The mad circus says goodnight

The tape machine exposed 

From all its spinnin’ round and round 

I’ve scratched all my reels 

I’ve bitten all my nails to the bone 

Like a stone

You come back and thrown up

Away from the top

And away from the drills 

But kid I’m a pilot

It’s all I believe in

It’s all I believe in

You can ride on my back

And time on your hands

You spend your mornings down by the tracks

You had the drivers sign your arms

My hospitals will welcome you home

Like a tomb

With gun marks achin’

To look on your grace

And believe what you say

But kid I’m a pilot

It’s all I believe in

It’s all I believe in

You can ride on my back

If I stay in this room

They’ll remember me for my youth

If I stay in this room

They’ll remember me for my youth

If I give it all up

If I give it all up

If I give it all up

But kid I’m a pilot 

It’s all I believe in

It’s all I believe in

It’s all I believe in

You can ride on my back

Friday Night by Lily Allen

Friday night, last orders at the pub

Get in the car and drive to the club

There’s a massive crowd outside, so we get in to the queue

It’s quarter past eleven now; we won’t get in till quarter to two

It’s quarter to two and we get to the front

Girl on a guest list dressed like a ***

She asks security to check in my shoes

You can play this game with me, but you know you’re gonna lose

Look me up and down

I don’t make a sound

There’s a lesson that I want you to learn

If you’re gonna play with fire, then you’re gonna get burnt

Don’t try and test me ‘cause you’ll get reaction

Another drink and I’m ready for action

I don’t know who you think you are

But making people scared won’t get you very far

In the club, make our way to the bar

Good dancing, love, but you should have worn a bra

Guy on the mic, and he’s making too much noise

There’s these girls in the corner wanting attention from the boys

I see these girls, and they’re shouting through the crowd

Don’t understand why they’re being really loud

They make their way over to me

And try to push me out the way

I push her back; she looks at me and says

What you tryin’ to say?

Caroline by Wolfmother

I can remember, I can remember a time of beginning to relate

To who you are, who you really are

Never look back ‘cause we’ve come so far

There’s a place I can never return so I decide to let it burn

Far away is where I’d rather be than to see that look upon your face

Our love is all around here

She goes away just to be near

Caroline, tell me why you wanna leave this way?

Caroline, tell me where you gonna go this time?

‘Cause all we are is all we are and now it’s up to you

Caroline, we’ll find a place that makes you feel apart

Well, it gets you high and makes you feel the possibility

And who you really are, who you really are

Never look back ‘cause we’ve come so far

There’s a place I can never return and from here you’ll start tonight

Our love is all around here

She goes away just to be near

Caroline, tell me why you wanna leave this way?

Caroline, tell me where you gonna go tonight?

‘Cause all we are is all we are and there’s no reason why

‘Cause all we are is all we are, don’t let it go to waste

Don’t you let it go to waste, don’t you ever go away

Irrelevant, but I don’t care.

Sister Winter by Sufjan Stevens

Oh my friends I’ve

Begun to worry right

Where I should be grateful

I should be satisfied

Oh my heart I

Would clap and dance in place

With my friends I have so

Much pleasure to embrace

But my heart is

Returned to sister winter

But my heart is

As cold as ice

Oh my thoughts I

Return to summertime

When I kissed your ankle

I kissed you through the night

All my gifts I

Gave everything to you

Your strange imagination

You threw it all away

Now my heart is

Returned to sister winter

Now my heart is

As cold as ice

All my friends, I’ve

Returned to sister winter

All my friends, I

Apologise, apologise

All my friends, I’ve

Returned to sister winter

All my friends, I

Apologise, apologise

All my friends, I’ve

Returned to sister winter

All my friends, I

Apologise, apologise

La la la la la …

And my friends, I’ve

Returned to wish you all the best

And my friends, I’ve

Returned to wish you all the best

And my friends, I’ve

Returned to wish you all the best

And my friends, I’ve

Returned to wish you a happy Christmas

To wish you a happy Christmas

To wish you a happy Christmas

To wish you a happy Christmas

Train Song by Feist and Ben Gibbard

Traveling north, traveling north to find you

Train wheels beating, the wind in my eyes

Don’t even know what I’ll find when I get to you

Call out your name love don’t be surprised

It’s so many miles and so long since I’ve left you

Don’t even know what I’ll find when I get to you

But suddenly now, I know where I belong

It’s many hundred miles and it won’t be long

Nothing at all in my head to say to you

Only the beat of the train I’m on

Nothing I’ve learn, all my life, on the way to you

One day our love was over and gone

It’s so many miles and so long since I’ve met you

Don’t even know what I’ll say when I get to you

But suddenly now, I know where I belong

It’s many hundred miles and it won’t be long

What will I do if there’s someone there with you

Maybe someone you’ve always known

How do I know I can come and give to you

Love with no warning and find you alone

It’s so many miles and so long since I’ve met you

Don’t even know what I’ll find when I get to you

But suddenly now, I know where I belong

It’s many hundred miles and it won’t be long

It won’t be long

It won’t be long

It won’t be long

They by Jem

Who made up all the rules

We follow them like fools

Believe them to be true

Don’t care to think them through

And I’m sorry, so sorry

I’m sorry it’s like this

I’m sorry, so sorry

I’m sorry we do this

And it’s ironic too

‘Cause what we tend to do

Is act on what they say

And then it is that way

And I’m sorry, so sorry

I’m sorry it’s like this

I’m sorry, so sorry

I’m sorry we do this

Who are they

Where are they

How can they possibly

Know all this

Who are they

Where are they

How can they possibly

Know all this

Do you see what I see

Why do we live like this

Is it because it’s true

That ignorance is bliss

Who are they

Where are they

How do they

Know all this

And I’m sorry, so sorry

I’m sorry it’s like this

Do you see what I see

Why do we live like this

Is it because it’s true

That ignorance is bliss

And who are they

Where are they

How can they

Know all this

And I’m sorry, so sorry

I’m sorry we do this

Walkabout by Atlas Sound Ft. Panda Bear

What did you want to see?

What did you want to be when you grew up?

To go away and not look back and think of what the others say

To go ahead and change your life without regard to what is said 

And everyone must do the same 

You find yourself lost again

Forget the things you’ve left behind

Through looking back you may go blind

When I first heard this song, I thought to myself, “It sounds awfully familiar.” And then I remembered, it sounded so much like the Jaynestown’s folk song :-P You may disagree, not that I care.

Vagabond by Wolfmother

Oh girl I don’t know all the reasons why,

I found the answer lookin’ in your eye,

I go out walking all day long,

Take away this lonely man soon he will be gone,

Cause I’ll tell you everything about living free,

Yes I can see you girl can you see me,

You don’t need to know what I do all day,

It’s as much as I know watch it waste away,

Cause I’ll tell you everything about living free,

Yes I can see you girl can you see me,

Go and see the sorcerer look into a ball,

You may find the answer written on the wall,

The left one was a dancer can you see the answer, Oh

Put her in a mansion on top of the hill,

Please don’t make her do things against her will,

I found something special I don’t know why,

Looking into her pretty little eye,

Cause I’ll tell you everything about living free

Swim Club by The Cave Singer

I can wait at the canyon’s corner and I’m backing away

I can see you looking into locuses that ease your mind

Won’t peel your tab back, I’m shaking up and you’re stepping down

Put your cookies in the cooling rack, let’s kiss the sky away, hey

Holding on to your fishing line

I can feel the future just fine

I can feel the future, baby

It’s tumbling down your cheek

but I can’t see the past, oh no

I’m no one contending, oh lord

I can see your future life

and that future life don’t play

Dark streets, watch out

Long streets, back home

Dark streets, watch out

Let’s ride

Tied to the boats of my life, I’m a man of sanity

No man is a sinking houseboat, yeah it just arrived

Have you snuck off into parks land, shooting off the flare gun

Are you in my office building, well I ain’t dressed for the occasion

Oh, ain’t that the way things work

Ain’t that the way things go

Aren’t those the stories we’ve been told

Sister, let’s ride again

Dark streets, watch out

Red sun, come home

Dark streets, watch out

Well, let’s ride

You can call me all night

I’m living like a lonely man, I’m living in this lonely land

I’m living in an empty bed, watching those bars at night

I’m leaving all the things I have, and I’m waiting on the canyon’s edge

I’m living like a lonely man, bring back your bars tonight

I’m living like a lonely man, I’m living on this lonely land

I’m leaning on an empty bench, watching those bars at night

but I’m leaving all the things I have, and I’m waiting on the canyon’s edge

I’m living in this lonely land, bring back your bars tonight, and let’s ride
