Melancholy Hill - Gorillaz

Up on Melancholy Hill
There's a plastic tree
Are you here with me
Just looking out on the day of another dream?

Well, you can't get what you want
But you can get me
So let's head out to sea
Because you are my medicine
When you're close to me

So call in the submarine
Around the world we'll go

If you can't get what you want
Then come with me
Up on Melancholy Hill
Sits a manatee, Love
Just looking out for the day when you're close to me

Neon Bible - Arcade Fire

A vial of hope and a vial of pain
In the light they both looked the same
Poured them out on into the world
On every boy and every girl

It's in the Neon Bible
Not much chance for survival
If the Neon Bible is right

Take the poison of your age
Don't lick your fingers when you turn the page
What I know is what you know is right
In the city it's the only light

It's the Neon Bible
Not much chance for survival
If the Neon Bible is right

Oh God, well look at you now
You lost it, but you don't know how
In the light of a golden calf
Oh God, I had to laugh

Take the poison of your age
Don't lick your fingers when you turn the page
It was wrong but you said it was right
In the future I will read at night

In the Neon Bible
Not much chance for survival
If the Neon Bible is true

Marble House - The Knife

I cut your nails and comb your hair
I carry you down the stairs
I wanted to see right through from the other side
I wanted to walk a trail with no end in sight

The moment we believe that we have never met
Another kind of love, it's easy to forget
When we are all alone, then we do both agree
We have a thing in common
This was meant to be

You close my eyes and soothe my ears
You heal my wounds and dry my tears
On the inside of this marble house I grow
And the seeds I sow will grow up prisoners, too

The moment we believe that we have never met
Another kind of love, it's easy to forget
When we are all alone, then we do both agree
We have a thing in common
This was meant to be

Now where's your shoulder?
What is it's name?
What's your scent?
Say it again
If it goes faster can you still follow me?
It must be safe when it's on TV

I raise my hands to heaven of curiosity
I don't know what to ask for
What has it got for me?

The others say we're hiding
It's as forward as can be
Some things I do for money
Some things I do for free

Shadows - Au Revoir Simone

Anyone can answer their own questions
All you have to do is look inside, inside, inside
You know it inside
You know it will be all right, all right, all right,
You know it's all right.

1940's - The Submarines

Something's wrong when you regret
Things that haven't happened yet
But it's a glorious day when morning comes
Without the feeling of alarm

So rise and shine
Now's the time to be alive
To stay awake with me a while and smile

You couldn't sleep for the awful fright
That kept you up in bed last
But curious shapes shift in the dark
They vanish with the sunrises spark

So rise and shine
Now's the time to be alive
To stay awake with me a while
And smile

After Hours - We Are Scientists

This door is always open
No one has the guts to shut us out
But if we have to go now
I guess there’s always hope that
Some place will be serving after hours

This night is winding down but
Time means nothing
As always at this hour
Time means nothing
One final round
Because time means nothing
Say that you’ll stay

We’re finally drunk enough that
We’re finally soaking up
The hours that everyone else throws away
And if we have to go now
I guess there’s always hope
Tomorrow night will be more of the same

This night is winding down but
Time means nothing
As always at this hour
Time means nothing
One final final round
Because time means nothing
Say that you’ll stay

We’re all right where we’re supposed to be
Say that you'll stay

Annie, Let's Not Wait - Guillemots

Annie, let's not wait
Let's cross the river now
We could sit for years
Staring at our fears
But our dreams are all we really need to grow
