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
