Trains To Brazil - Guillemots

Its one o'clock on a Friday morning
I'm trying to keep my back from the wall
The prophets and their bombs have had another success
And I'm wondering why we bother at all

And I think of you on cold winter mornings
Darling, they remind me of when we were at school
Nothing really mattered when you called out my name
In fact, nothing really mattered at all

And I think about how long it will take them to blow us away
But I won't get me down
I'm just thankful to be facing the day
Because days don't get you far when you're gone

It's five o'clock on a Friday morning
One hundred telephones sit and ring
And one of them is from someone who knew you

And I still think of you on cold winter mornings
Darling, they'll still remind me of when we were at school
When they could never have persuaded me
That lives like yours were in the hands of these erroneous fools

And to those of you who moan your lives through one day to the next
Well let them take you next
Can't you live and be thankful you're here?
See it could be you tomorrow, next year

Chicago - Sufjan Stevens

I fell in love again
All things go, all things go
Drove to Chicago
All things know, all things know
We sold our clothes to the state
I don't mind, I don't mind
I made a lot of mistakes
In my mind, in my mind

You came to take us
All things go, all things go
To recreate us
All things grow, all things grow
We had our mindset
All things know, all things know
You had to find it
All things go, all things go

I drove to New York
In the van, with my friend
We slept in parking lots
I don't mind, I don't mind
I was in love with the place
In my mind, in my mind
I made a lot of mistakes
In my mind, in my mind

You came to take us
All things go, all things go
To recreate us
All things grow, all things grow
We had our mindset
All things know, all things know
You had to find it
All things go, all things go

If I was crying
In the van, with my friend
It was for freedom
From myself and from the land
I made a lot of mistakes
I made a lot of mistakes
I made a lot of mistakes
I made a lot of mistakes
You came to take us
All things go, all things go
To recreate us
All things grow, all things grow
We had our mindset
All things know, all things know
You had to find it
All things go, all things go
You came to take us
All things go, all things go
To recreate us
All things grow, all things grow
We had our mindset
I made a lot of mistakes
All things know, all things know
I made a lot of mistakes
You had to find it
I made a lot of mistakes
All things go, all things go

Ode To Sunshine - Delta Spirit

When your working is done
And you have nothing left to lose
Why don't you just roll away that stone that's locked you up?

When your pattern is full
And it feels like there's no place to land
When will you all run out of gas?
Yeah, it happened so fast
Leaving town for sell to pal

I recall only nights
That we built with our hands and feet
Making peace with the voice in our head
That ghost just stop - Won't lie dead
It just bleeds

Let the prophet rebound
Let his riddle rub on to my pride
I'm just too hollow inside
Let it echo in time
Just to get it through my head and mouth

Through the gorgeous light of the sun
And which I could never outrun
Even if my perdition were just in front
The sun's got my shine
The sun's got my pride
I could run
But I'd never live without your light

and here it is
