[gottafindsometime]

It's summer. It's hot and muggy here in SC and every day feels like a beach day.

These aren't necessarily summery songs. More like...this is what I don't skip over when it comes on and these are the songs I can't get out of my head. These are the songs that keep me going right now. Music of the moment.

Volume one, because the tastes...they change.

And it's all for you. My favourite lyrics are quoted.

bloc party . positive tension
why'd you have to get so hysterical?
success, success, success is over
why'd you have to get
so fucking useless
play it cool boy, play it cool

rasputina . stumpside
by the side of the stump where she told us these things
if you hear a bell ring you get some wings
don't bother looking for what i've neglected to bring
by the side of the stump where she told us these things
if you hear a bell ring you get some wings
she's fallen faster than feathers that float in the wind

i hate camera . the bird & the bee
cool babies in soft operations
holding my hand, put coins in my cup
just remember in public relations
tell me to sit there and just...shut up

poe . control
don't you mess with a little girl's dream
'cause she's liable to grow up mean.

surprised you to find that i'm laughing?
you thought that you'd find me in tears
you thought i'd be crawling the walls
like a tiny mosquito and trembling fear

well you may be king for the moment
but i am a queen, understand...
and i've got your pawns and your bishops and castles
all inside the palm of my hand.

the shins . sleeping lessons
jump from the hook
you're not obliged to swallow anything you despise
see, those unrepenting buzzards want your life,
and they got no right--
as sure as you have eyes,
they got no right.

interpol . heinrich maneuver
how are things on the west coast?
i hear you're moving real fine
you wear those shoes like a dove
now strut those shoes we go roaming in the night

coldplay . lost!
just because i'm losing
doesn't mean i'm lost
doesn't mean i'll stop
doesn't mean i will cross.

just because i'm hurting
doesn't mean i'm hurt
doesn't mean i didn't get what i deserve
no better and no worse

marilyn manson . heart-shaped glasses
i don't mind you keeping me on pins and needles
if i could stick to you and yo ustick me, too

don't break, don't break my heart
and i won't break your heart-shaped glasses
little girl, little girl, you should close your eyes
that blue is getting me high
(making me low)

cobra starship . my moves are white (white hot, that is)
boy, i know what you're gonna say
or did you think i was born yesterday?

i know you must think i've got something to prove,
but girl, i really only want to hit the floor with you

the dykeenies . new ideas
silence is golden
rotten to cores,
closing all doors
forgive me

[...]

eyes are frozen
steely and broken
blind but open,
forgive me

imogen heap . hide&seek
hide and seek
trains and sewing machines (oh, you won't catch me around here)
blood and tears (hearts)
they were here first

mmm whatcha say,
mmm that you only meant well?
well of course you did.
mmm whatcha say
mmm that it's all for the best?

muse . new born
the love for what you hide
for bitterness inside
is growing like the new born.
when you've seen, seen too much
too young, young.

the fratellis . babydoll
babydoll, do you you believe they'll catch you when you fall?
and when morning comes the sun is gonna shine
don't forget your minor keys, your half-lit cigarette
'cause when morning comes, god knows that you'll be mine

the dresden dolls . the kill
i am anarchist
an anti-christ
an asterisk
i am an atheist
an acolyte
an alcoholic
i am eleven feet...
okay, eight...
six foot three
i am an an amazon
an ampersand
an accident.
i fought the british and i won.

morningwood . new york girls
n-n-n-new york girls
come on, you know you're hot
a-a-a-attitude
and that's what makes you rock.

in your tight black jeans
and high-heeled shoes
god, i think you're hot
i got to get with you

the hush sound . break the sky
before the world dies at my door
i'll break the sky, for you and i are going nowhere.
kiss goodbye, a dozen times when we get there
why do i need anyone else, when i can break the sky myself?

elbow . the bones of you
but i love the bones of you that i will never escape
and it's you, and it's me, and we're sleeping through the day
and i'm five years ago every thousand miles away...
and i can't move my arm, for the fear that you will wake.

lily allen . friday night
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 into the queue
it's quart past eleven now, won't get in till quarter two.

it's quarter two and we get to the front,
girl on the guest list, dressed like a c~
she asked security to check inside my soes,
you can play this game with me but you know you're gonna lose.

the wombats . moving to new york
i've just had the craziest week,
like a party bag of lies, booze and then deceit.
and i don't know why i want to voice this outloud
it's theraputic somehow.

so i'm moving to new york, cos i've got a probelm with my sleep...

the new pronographers . ballad of a comeback kid
everyone in town wanted to be around you, this went on for awhile until they finally found you
ever so careful, on the strip we cruise, crippled in someone else's shoes
who knew? mind you, i never had to stand in line, you did, in the ballad of a comeback kid
