What are you listening to today?

Yo La Tengo Last Days of Disco


This is one of the few artists that I can actually enjoy while writing posts. This whole album is great. . . very mellow, dreamy. Perfect background music for writing.

Chuck Berry - You Never Can Tell

It was a teenage wedding,
and the old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre
did truly love the mademoiselle
And now the young monsieur
and madame have rung the chapel bell,
"C'est la vie", say the old folks,
it goes to show you never can tell

They furnished off an apartment
with a two room Roebuck sale
The coolerator was crammed
with TV dinners and ginger ale,
But when Pierre found work,
the little money comin' worked out well
"C'est la vie", say the old folks,
it goes to show you never can tell

They had a hi-fi phono, boy, did they let it blast
Seven hundred little records,
all rock, rhythm and jazz
But when the sun went down,
the rapid tempo of the music fell
"C'est la vie", say the old folks,
it goes to show you never can tell

They bought a souped-up jitney,
'twas a cherry red '53,
They drove it down New Orleans
to celebrate their anniversary
It was there that Pierre was married
to the lovely mademoiselle
"C'est la vie", say the old folks,
it goes to show you never can tell
 
Shut out the World - Eve to Adam

Lock me in this place forever
Throw away the key
Cause all that matters
Is you and me
Lock me in this place forever
Its where I wanna be
Cause all that matters
Is you and me

Outside these walls there is so much noise
Sometimes its hard for me to hear your voice
Above the crowd, outside the lines
The bitter shades of black and white
But I've seen colors in your eyes
Felt things I don't recognize
I can't deny, I can't escape
A bound that holds and never breaks

So lay here with me
And shut out the world
Shut out the world
Lay here with me
And shut out the world
Shut out the world

Lock me in this place forever
Throw away the key
Cause all that matters is you and me
Lock me in this place forever
Its where I wanna be
Cause all that matters
Is you and me

Inside this room you are safe from all
The precious that you've been fighting off
I'll lift the weight, I'll light the dark
I'll let you be just who you are
So open up and let me see
What you've been hiding underneath
I can't deny, I can't escape
A bound that holds and never breaks

So lay here with me
And shut out the world
Shut out the world
Lay here with me
And shut out the world
Shut out the world

We made it here from nothing
And turned it into something
I don't need anything or anything else
But you

Lock me in this place forever
Throw away the key
Cause all that matters is you and me
Lock me in this place forever
Its where I wanna be
Cause all that matters is you and me

Lock me in this place forever
Throw away the key
Cause all that matters is you and me
Lock me in this place forever
Its where I wanna be
Cause all that matters is you and me
Is you and me
 
"Peter" - Daughter

Peter, can I go back home?
I flew here under false pretense
I thought it would be fun
But the lost boys have all moved away
And one of them is locked up
I know you think you're still a child,
But I couldn't give a fuck; you're twenty-one

Oh, Peter,
I can dream no more
I've been chasing all of yours
I've forgotten what it was that I wanted
That I want

Oh, I won't be your doll
So please don't you ask me to
You see, I don't look so good in yellow
Like other dolls they do

Oh, Peter
I am not naive
I see the way you look at her
You don't do that for me
Oh, it must be love
And we both know it's not with us

Oh, I won't be your doll
So please don't you ask me to
You see, I don't look so good in yellow
Like other dolls they do

Oh, Peter
He walks beside the lake
While I lay beside an empty space
Waiting for the sirens
Just waiting for the sirens

Oh, I won't be your doll
So please don't you ask me to
I won't shut my little painted face
Like all your other dolls, they do
Like all your other dolls, they do
They do
 
Cold War Kids~All This Could Be Yours

I was silent partner, I could use a shrink
I heard you said the misfortune speech
But I have sympathy when you get up your seat
Before this mess becomes a disease
I have cracked the code on this old machine
Take thousands eyes to be released
But I've been wondering why can't you see?
Where the door opens up and go where it leads

I have been waiting for you to find
All of this could be yours, be yours tonight!
Ooh oh oh (could be yours, could be yours)
Ooh oh oh (could be yours, could be yours)
Ooh oh oh (could be yours, could be yours)

You were packing up but I gave you a bed
You would rather crash, then go straight ahead
I wrote this years ago, but it's finished today
With the help of a fan who was finished the same

I have been waiting, but you would need a sign
All of this could be yours, be yours tonight!
I have been patient, but you've got to try
All of this could be yours, be yours tonight!
Ooh oh oh (could be yours, could be yours)
Ooh oh oh (could be yours, could be yours)
Ooh oh oh (could be yours, could be yours)

ALL THIS COULD BE YOURS
ALL THIS COULD BE YOURS
ALL THIS COULD BE YOURS
COULD BE YOURS
ALL THIS COULD BE YOURS​
 
pinch me - barenaked ladies

it's the perfect time of year
somewhere far away from here
I feel fine enough, I guess
considering everything's a mess

there's a restaurant down the street
where hungry people like to eat
I could walk, but I'll just drive
it's colder than it looks outside

it's like a dream you try to remember but it's gone, then ya
try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn, when ya
try to see the world beyond your front door
take your time 'cause the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile, when ya
realise that a guy my size might take a while, just to
try to figure out what all this is for

it's the perfect time of day
to throw all your cares away
put the sprinkler on the lawn
and run through with my gym shorts on

take a drink right from the hose
and change into some drier clothes
climb the stairs up to my room
sleep away the afternoon

it's like a dream you try to remember but it's gone, then ya
try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn, when ya
try to see the world beyond your front door
take your time 'cause the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile, when ya
realise that a guy my size might take a while, just to
try to figure out what all this is for

pinch me
pinch me
'cause I'm asleep
please God
tell me
that I'm still asleep

on an evening such as this
it's hard to tell if I exist
pack the car and leave this town
who'll notice that I'm not around?

I could hide out under there
I just made you say "underwear" :D
I could leave but I'll just stay
all my stuff's here anyway

it's like a dream you try to remember but it's gone, then ya
try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn, when ya
try to see the world beyond your front door
take your time 'cause the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile, when ya
realise that a guy my size might take a while, just to
try to figure out what all this is for
try to figure out what all this is for
try to see the world beyond your front door
try to figure out what all this is for
