Leaders of the Free World by Elbow
I'm sick of working for a living
I'm just ticking off the days till I die
Oh, I miss you Louise, yeah
And the sickest little pleasures keep me going in between pulling teeth
Oh, periscope up
I've been looking for a ladder
I need to see the Commander In Chief, ooh
And remind him what was passed on to me, oh
Your mum don't sleep, oh
And the friends you keep
I didn't raise a thief
I didn't raise a thief
But the leaders of the free world
Are just little boys throwing stones
And it's easy to ignore
Till they're knocking on the door of your homes, yeah
My thinking isn't driven, oh
But the music always gives me a lift
I'm so easy to please, yeah
But I think we dropped the baton like the 60's didn't happen, oh no
Oh, periscope up
Should be looking for a ladder
I need to see the Commander In Chief, ooh
And remind him what was passed on to you and me, oh
Your mum don't sleep, oh
And the friends you keep
I didn't raise a thief
I didn't raise a thief
But the leaders of the free world
Are just little boys throwing stones
And it's easy to ignore
Till they're knocking on the door of your homes
But the leaders of the free world
Are just little boys throwing stones
And it's easy to ignore
Till they're knocking on the door of your homes
Passing the gun from father to feckless son
We're climbing a landslide where only the good die young
Passing the gun from father to feckless son
We're climbing a landslide where only the good die young
(Passing the gun from father to feckless son)
Oh, periscope up
I've been looking for a ladder
(We're climbing a landslide where only the good die young)
I need to see the Commander In Chief, ooh
And remind him what was passed on to me, oh
(Passing the gun from father to feckless son)
Oh, periscope up
I've been looking for a ladder
(We're climbing a landslide where only the good die young)
I'm just ticking off the days till I die
Oh, I miss you Louise, yeah
And the sickest little pleasures keep me going in between pulling teeth
Oh, periscope up
I've been looking for a ladder
I need to see the Commander In Chief, ooh
And remind him what was passed on to me, oh
Your mum don't sleep, oh
And the friends you keep
I didn't raise a thief
I didn't raise a thief

Bone Dry by The Eels
In my dream I see you there
Your eyes fixed in a vacant stare
A little laugh, a crooked smile
Don't lift a finger while I lay dying
Bone dry
You drank all the blood
My heart is bone dry
Can't give you more
'Cause you took all of it
Sha-la-la
Was a day when I did believe
The things you say are what you mean
Dear sweet, innocent me
How much it took for me to finally see
Bone dry
You drank all the blood
My heart is bone dry
Can't give you more
'Cause you took all of it
Sha-la-la
Sha-la-la
Shoo-bee-doo bee-doo bee-doo
Shoo-bee-doo bee
Shoo-bee-doo bee-doo bee-doo
What becomes of men like me
Drifting off, lost at sea
I set a fire, look up for it
Looking for me, I'm a pink sunset
Bone dry (Sha-la-la)
You drank all the blood
My heart is bone dry (Sha-la-la)
Can't give you more
'Cause you took all of it
Sha-la-la
Bone dry
Sha-la-la
Bone dry
You took all of it
Sha-la-la
Sha-la-la
Sha-la-la
Sha-la-la
Your eyes fixed in a vacant stare
A little laugh, a crooked smile
Don't lift a finger while I lay dying
Bone dry
You drank all the blood
My heart is bone dry
Can't give you more
'Cause you took all of it
Sha-la-la
Was a day when I did believe
The things you say are what you mean
Dear sweet, innocent me
How much it took for me to finally see
Bone dry
You drank all the blood
My heart is bone dry
Can't give you more
'Cause you took all of it
Sha-la-la
Sha-la-la
Shoo-bee-doo bee-doo bee-doo
Shoo-bee-doo bee
Shoo-bee-doo bee-doo bee-doo
What becomes of men like me
Drifting off, lost at sea
I set a fire, look up for it
Looking for me, I'm a pink sunset
Bone dry (Sha-la-la)
You drank all the blood
My heart is bone dry (Sha-la-la)
Can't give you more
'Cause you took all of it
Sha-la-la
Bone dry
Sha-la-la
Bone dry
You took all of it
Sha-la-la
Sha-la-la
Sha-la-la
Sha-la-la

I've Got A Dark Alley and a Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut Your Mouth (Summer Song)
Joke me something awful just like kisses on the necks of "best friends"
We're the kids who feel like dead ends
And I want to be known for my hits, not just my misses
I took a shot and didn't even come close
At trust and love and hope
And the poets are just kids who didn't make it
And never had it at all
And the record won't stop skipping
And the lies just won't stop slipping
And besides my reputation's on the line
We can fake it for the airwaves
Force our smiles, baby, half dead
From comparing myself to everyone else around me
Please put the doctor on the phone cause I'm not making any sense
Blame everyone but me for this mess
And my back has been breaking from this heavy heart
We never seemed so far
I'm hopelessly hopeful, you're just hopeless enough
But we never had it at all
And the record won't stop skipping
And the lies just won't stop slipping
And besides my reputation's on the line
We can fake it for the airwaves
Force our smiles, baby, half dead
From comparing myself to everyone else around me
to everyone else around me
everyone else around me
everyone else around me
We're the kids who feel like dead ends
And I want to be known for my hits, not just my misses
I took a shot and didn't even come close
At trust and love and hope
And the poets are just kids who didn't make it
And never had it at all
And the record won't stop skipping
And the lies just won't stop slipping
And besides my reputation's on the line
We can fake it for the airwaves
Force our smiles, baby, half dead
From comparing myself to everyone else around me
Please put the doctor on the phone cause I'm not making any sense
Blame everyone but me for this mess
And my back has been breaking from this heavy heart
We never seemed so far
I'm hopelessly hopeful, you're just hopeless enough
But we never had it at all
And the record won't stop skipping
And the lies just won't stop slipping
And besides my reputation's on the line
We can fake it for the airwaves
Force our smiles, baby, half dead
From comparing myself to everyone else around me
to everyone else around me
everyone else around me
everyone else around me
