The Caterpiller by The Cure

Flicka flicka flicka
Here you are
Cata cata cata
Caterpillar girl
Flowing in
And filling up my hopeless heart
Oh never never go
Dust my lemon lies
With powder pink and sweet
The day I stop
Is the day you change
And fly away from me

You flicker
And you're beautiful
You glow inside my head
You hold me hynotized
I'm mesmerized
Your flames
The flames that kiss me dead

IM JUST A LITTLE CATERPILLER INSIDE A LITTLE FLOWER.

Lerning the Blues by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong

The tables are empty the dance floor's deserted
You play the same love song it's the tenth time you've heard it
That's the beginning just one of the clues
You've had your first lesson in learnin' the blues
The cigarettes you light one after another
Won't help you forget her and the way that you love her
You're only burning a torch you can't lose
But you're on the right track for learnin' the blues
When you're at home alone, the blues will taunt you - constantly
When you're out in a crowd, the blues will haunt your memory
The nights when you don't sleep the whole night you're crying
You just can't forget her soon you even stop trying
You'll walk the floor and wear out your shoes
When you feel your heart break you're learnin' the blues

Slummville Suprise by Jake Bugg

The wind keeps beating on my window. I haven't slept all night.
That drum just keeps on banging.
They must be buzzin' out their minds
Like bees in a hive
Tell me when the morning arrives.

This place is just not for me
I say it all the time.
My friends they just ignore me.
Tell me nevermind,
Waiting all your life for the Slumville Sunrise.

Slumville Sunrise.
Nobody cares or looks twice.
Shout away in the morning across this place where I was born in.
Every bruise, every flower illuminated by the dawning.

My face upon the concrete,
The dirt is in my mouth.
I clench my fist and feet.
I'm tryna cry out loud.
Make a sound, something is keeping me down.

This place is just not for me
I say it a thousand times
My friends they just ignore me.
Tell me nevermind
Waiting all your life for the Slumville Sunrise.

Slumville Sunrise
Nobody cares or looks twice.
Shout away in the morning across this place where I was born in.
Every bruise, every flower illuminated by the dawning.

[Guitar solo]

This place is just not for me
I say it all the time
My friends they just ignore me.
Tell me nevermind.
Waiting all your life for the Slumville Sunrise.

Slumville Sunrise.
Nobody cares or looks twice.
Shout away in the morning across this place where I was born in.
Every bruise, every flower illuminated by the dawning.
Every bruise, every flower illuminated by the dawning.

WELL... THIS KID DOESNT KNOW YET THAT WHEREVER YOU ARE... THERE YOU ARE... THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS THE "RIGHT PLACE" HE'LL FIRURE IT OUT SOME DAY MAYBE.

With You by David Bazan



I might have found someone who could love me
I might have found someone true
But I turn around, my life's half over
And I'm with you
I'm with you


You might have found someone with better genetics
You might have found someone not so blue
You might have found someone who didn't inspire you
To be untrue
To be untrue


Self-loathing
Paranoia
Jet lag
Alcohol
Bad dream
Long-distance calls
Babe, I don't feel well at all
Babe, I don't feel well at all


The power's out in our first apartment
I'm on the couch worried that we're through
But when the lights come on, I'm really under the covers
And I'm with you
I'm with you

Alexander Hamilton by Lin-Manuel Miranda

[AARON BURR:] How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore and a
Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten
Spot in the Caribbean by providence, impoverished, in squalor
Grow up to be a hero and a scholar?

[JOHN LAURENS:]
The ten-dollar Founding Father without a father
Got a lot farther by working a lot harder
By being a lot smarter
By being a self-starter
By fourteen, they placed him in charge of a trading charter

[THOMAS JEFFERSON:]
And every day while slaves were being slaughtered and carted
Away across the waves, he struggled and kept his guard up
Inside, he was longing for something to be a part of
The brother was ready to beg, steal, borrow, or barter

[JAMES MADISON:]
Then a hurricane came, and devastation reigned
Our man saw his future drip, dripping down the drain
Put a pencil to his temple, connected it to his brain
And he wrote his first refrain, a testament to his pain

[BURR:]
Well, the word got around, they said, “This kid is insane, man”
Took up a collection just to send him to the mainland
“Get your education, don't forget from whence you came, and
The world's gonna know your name. What's your name, man?”

[ALEXANDER HAMILTON:]
Alexander Hamilton
My name is Alexander Hamilton
And there's a million things I haven't done
But just you wait, just you wait...

[ELIZA HAMILTON:]
When he was ten his father split, full of it, debt-ridden
Two years later, see Alex and his mother bed-ridden
Half-dead sittin' in their own sick, the scent thick

[FULL COMPANY EXCEPT HAMILTON (whispering):]
And Alex got better but his mother went quick

[GEORGE WASHINGTON (COMPANY):]
Moved in with a cousin, the cousin committed suicide
Left him with nothin' but ruined pride, something new inside
A voice saying: "You gotta fend for yourself." ("Alex, you gotta fend for yourself.")
He started retreatin' and readin' every treatise on the shelf

[BURR (COMPANY):]
There would have been nothin' left to do
For someone less astute
He woulda been dead or destitute
Without a cent of restitution
Started workin', clerkin' for his late mother's landlord
Tradin' sugar cane and rum and all the things he can't afford
Scammin' (scammin') for every book he can get his hands on
Plannin' (plannin') for the future see him now as he stands on (oooh...)
The bow of a ship headed for a new land
In New York you can be a new man

[COMPANY (HAMILTON):]
In New York you can (just you wait) be a new man
In New York you can (just you wait) be a new man
In New York you can be a new man
[WOMEN:] In New York
[MEN:] New York
[HAMILTON:] Just you wait!

[COMPANY:]
Alexander Hamilton (Alexander Hamilton)
We are waiting in the wings for you (waiting in the wings for you)
You could never back down
You never learned to take your time!
Oh, Alexander Hamilton (Alexander Hamilton)
When America sings for you
Will they know what you overcame?
Will they know you rewrote the game?
The world will never be the same, oh

[BURR:]
The ship is in the harbor now
See if you can spot him ([MEN:] Just you wait)
Another immigrant
Comin' up from the bottom ([COMPANY:] Just you wait)
His enemies destroyed his rep
America forgot him

[MULLIGAN/MADISON & LAFAYETTE/JEFFERSON:]
We fought with him

[LAURENS/PHILIP:]
Me? I died for him

[WASHINGTON:]
Me? I trusted him

[ELIZA & ANGELICA & PEGGY/MARIA:]
Me? I loved him

[BURR:]
And me? I'm the damn fool that shot him

[COMPANY:]
There's a million things I haven't done
But just you wait!

[BURR:]
What's your name, man?

[COMPANY:]
Alexander Hamilton!

PENCE WENT TO HAMILTON AND GOT SCHOOLED! POWNED!

The Perfect Day by Lou Reed

Just a perfect day
Drink sangria in the park
And then later, when it gets dark
We go home

Just a perfect day
Feed animals in the zoo
Then later a movie, too
And then home

Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on

Just a perfect day
Problems all left alone
Weekenders on our own
It's such fun

Just a perfect day
You made me forget myself
I thought I was someone else
Someone good

Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on

You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow

THE CHICK IS THINKING "WELL I KIND OF LIKED HIM UNTIL HE GOT ALL CREEPY AND JESUSIE AT THE END"

The Captain by Leonard Cohen

Now the Captain called me to his bed
He fumbled for my hand
"Take these silver bars," he said
"I'm giving you command."
"Command of what, there's no one here
There's only you and me --
All the rest are dead or in retreat
Or with the enemy."
"Complain, complain, that's all you've done
Ever since we lost
If it's not the Crucifixion
Then it's the Holocaust."
"May Christ have mercy on your soul
For making such a joke
Amid these hearts that burn like coal
And the flesh that rose like smoke."

"I know that you have suffered, lad,
But suffer this awhile:
Whatever makes a soldier sad
Will make a killer smile."
"I'm leaving, Captain, I must go
There's blood upon your hand
But tell me, Captain, if you know
Of a decent place to stand."

"There is no decent place to stand
In a massacre;
But if a woman take your hand
Go and stand with her."
"I left a wife in Tennessee
And a baby in Saigon --
I risked my life, but not to hear
Some country-western song."

"Ah but if you cannot raise your love
To a very high degree,
Then you're just the man I've been thinking of --
So come and stand with me."
"Your standing days are done," I cried,
"You'll rally me no more.
I don't even know what side
We fought on, or what for."

"I'm on the side that's always lost
Against the side of Heaven
I'm on the side of Snake-eyes tossed
Against the side of Seven.
And I've read the Bill of Human Rights
And some of it was true
But there wasn't any burden left
So I'm laying it on you."

Now the Captain he was dying
But the Captain wasn't hurt
The silver bars were in my hand
I pinned them to my shirt.

ALMOST NO SONG SO PERFECTY CAPTURES THE MADNESS OF OUR TIME. RIP MR. COHEN. AS I SAID BEFORE, SOMEONE NEEDS TO START A RELIGION WITH YOUR SONG LYRICS AS ITS SCRIPTURE.

Beautiful Words by Oscar

can you really walk away
the symptoms are in vain
need to stay at just one place
the memories are irascible
i just wanna feel beautiful words
beautiful words returning
but all that you can say is you haven’t found
you haven’t found the beautiful word
who are you now if this aways
confused you are so taste
in fate your inner must debate
you’re after walk to stay, cause
i just wanna feel beautiful words
beautiful words returning
but all that you can say is you haven’t found
you haven’t found the beautiful words
i just wanna feel beautiful words
beautiful words returning
but all that you can say is you haven’t found
you haven’t found the beautiful words
i’m on way, i’m on way for you to say beautiful words
to me, to me, to me, to me
i’m on way, i’m on way for you to say beautiful words
to me, to me, to me, to me
i just wanna feel beautiful words
beautiful words returning
but all that you can say is you haven’t found
you haven’t found the beautiful words
i just wanna feel beautiful words

but all that you can say is you haven’t found

i’m on way, i’m on way for you to say beautiful words
to me, to me, to me, to me

Liars by Gregory Alan Isakov

you take the big one
and i’ll take his brother
let’s get this over with
’cause i’m late for work
do you remember when we were young
the swing sets, the costumes
the dirt in the sun
i sold all my baseball cards to buy me some clothes
that’s how it goes
that’s how it goes, and that’s how it goes
and i keep on thinking
it’s time to move on
move out to the city so huge
meet me some people
seems these old hills
they keep on calling
the clouds ’round here talk
man, i been listening
i sold all these clothes to buy me this land
now i’m sorta happy most of the time
most of the time
been riding lots of trains
the same ones as you
how come you get to talk to everybody
i’m just looking out my window at the night view
you keep on pointing out my halo
your big pointy finger
the six-fingered hand
i sold all this land
to buy me some dreams
just like those movies we played when we were kids
now we’re just liars
now we’re just liars
now we’re just liars
now we’re just liars

I COULDNT GET OUT OF FOCO FAST ENOUGH WHEN I GRADUATED. SO DESPARATE I BECAME A RELIGIOUS ZELOT FOR A WHILE. ENED UP IN LOS ANGELES AND DISCOVERED THAT LIFE IS LIFE NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE. SO I CAME BACK TO COLO. AND LIVE IS LIFE HERE TOO. AND ITS PRETTY GOOD.

Go All The Way by Edie Vedder

don’t let anyone say that it’s just a game
for i’ve seen other teams and it’s never the same
when you’re born in chicago you are blessed and you’re healed
the first time you walk into wrigley field
our heros wear pinstripes and heros in blue
give us the chance to feel like heros too
whether we’ll win and if we should lose,
we know someday we’ll go all the way,
yeah, someday we’ll go all the way!
we are one with the cubs, with the cubs we’re in love
hold our head high as the the underdogs
we are not fairweather but farweather fans
like brothers in arms, in the streets and the stands
theres magic in the ivy and the old score board
the same one i stared at as a kid keeping score
in a world full of greed i could never want more
someday we’ll go all the way
yeah, someday we’ll go all the way
someday we’ll go all the way
yeah, someday we’ll go all the
someday we’ll go all the way
heres to the men and the legends we’ve known
teaching us faith and giving us hope
united we stand and united we’ll fall
down to our knees the day we win it all
yeah ernie banks said “well lets play two”
or did he mean two hundred years
in the same ball park, our dimond, our jewel
the home of our joy and our tears
keeping traditions and wishes made new
the place where our grandfathers’ fathers grew
the spiritual feeling if i ever knew
if you aint been, i am sorry for you
and when the day comes for that last winning run
and i’m crying covered in beer
i look to the sky and know i was right
to think someday we’ll go all the way
yeah someday we’ll go all the way
some day we’ll go all the way
yeah, someday we’ll go all the way
x3

FOR GOD'S SAKE! JUST LET THEM WIN ALREADY. ISN'T 108 YEARS ENOUGH HUMILLIATION?
