The Little Old Lady From Pasadena

It's the little old lady from Pasadena
The little old lady from Pasadena
(Go granny, go granny, go granny, go)
Has a pretty little flowerbed of white gardenias
(Go granny, go granny, go granny, go)
But parked in a rickety old garage
There's a brand new shiny super-stocked Dodge
And everybody's sayin' that there's nobody meaner than
The little old lady from Pasadena
She drives real fast and she drives real hard
She's the terror of Colorado boulevard
It's the little old lady from Pasadena
If you see her on the strip, don't try to choose her
(Go granny, go granny, go granny, go)
You might drive a go-er, but you'll never lose her
(Go granny, go granny, go granny, go)
Well, she's gonna get a ticket now, sooner or later
'Cause she can't keep her foot off the accelerator
And everybody's sayin' that there's nobody meaner than
The Little Old Lady From Pasadena
She drives real fast and she drives real hard
She's the terror of Colorado Boulevard
It's the little old lady from Pasadena
You can catch her all the time, just gettin' her kicks now
(Go granny, go granny, go granny, go)
With her four speed stick and a four-two-six now
(Go granny, go granny, go granny, go)
The guys come to race her from miles around
But she'll give 'em a length, then she'll shut 'em down
And everybody's sayin' that there's nobody meaner than
The little old lady from Pasadena
She drives real fast and she drives real hard
She's the terror of Colorado boulevard
It's the little old lady from Pasadena
Go granny, go granny, go granny, go (come on granny, go)
Go granny, go granny, go granny, go (come on granny, go)
Go granny, go granny, go granny, go (come on granny, go)
Go granny, go granny, go granny, go (come on granny, go)
Go granny, go granny, go granny, go (come on granny, go)
Go granny, go granny, go granny, go (come on granny, go)
Go granny, go granny, go granny, go (come on granny, go)
Go granny, go granny, go granny, go (come on granny, go)
Go granny, go granny, go granny, go (come on granny, go)
Go granny, go granny, go granny, go (come on granny, go)

I Didn't See It Coming by Belle and Seastian

Make me dance, I want to surrender
Your familiar arms, I remember
We've been going transcontinental
Got no car, we just take a rental
But we don't have the money
(Money makes the wheels and the world go round)
Forget about it, honey
Make me dance, I want to surrender
Your familiar arms, I remember
Everybody's talking about you
Every word's a whisper without you
But we don't have the money
(Money makes the wheels and the world go round)
Forget about it, honey
Trouble's never far away when you're around
I didn't see it coming
I'm just not in the running
Take me on a train because I'm not flying
I can see the world from a different side
Read about us in the morning papers
When we make it alive
I didn't see it coming
I'm just not in the running
And we don't need a lifetime
We're following the right line

Wedding Singer by Modern Baseball

Find it hard to believe tonight
In a curiously well-kept house built before I was born
This year, we're gonna stamp out the sorry feeling
Rain on summer vacation five blocks from Tasker-Morris Station
Fucked for the ride home if I can't find two bills to rub together before
Midnight rolls around
I thought you heard me sing your spirit's sound
But you turned in early
Left the TV flickering its staged romance across your face
Said goodbye from the front porch
I always wonder if you're smiling at us or if you're looking away
I'd ask, but either way, I feel sorry for you
Locked your love in a screenshot
They all work that way but I've been wishing I could say that I don't
The selfish side likes to think my execution's more
Of an honest one, these artists all cut cloth with underscored conviction
Blacked-out, friction flies me back to Baltimore to wait for you
But I'm stuck here too
Until midnight rolls around
I thought you heard me sing your spirit's sound
But you turned in early
Left the TV flickering its staged romance across your face

Even In the Tremor by Lady Lamb

We bathe in the blood moon in Berlin
Make out in cathedrals, Montreal to Madrid
In Fallingwater brush our skin across the bed
The Masaya volcano paints our faces in red
Now the landscape in your eye is a desert of defeat
I want to stay but I'll turn to leave
Tonight we'll abandon all we share
Force a deep sleep and pretend we don't care
I'd hate to put us up against yesterday...
I guess what can't be close must be far away

Cause the past will kill the present if I let it
The past will kill the present if I let it
The past will kill the present if I let it

I dream in dripping colors of every ruin we'll never lose ourselves in
If I go on obsessing over coloring my memories
With a more vibrant palette than existed
Singin:
Those saturated rains could never flood the imprint of
One hand on the wheel, your other on my neck
Moving me through moving me through moving me through
If ever I forget how much love there is
It's just I've become fixated on all of the love I'd miss

Cause the future kills the present if I let it
The future kills the present if I let it
The future kills the present if

Every head is a world, I don't want to be a destroyer of
All things pure In my own
When I'm running from a day yet to bare its teeth
I see my only moment crumbling, crumbling
If every head is a world I don't want to be a destroyer
Of all things pure in my own
When I'm crawling towards a night that I'm convinced was
Golden and glowing, glowing
(even in the tremor I feel a stillness growing)

It takes a conscious effort to hollow out this head
My brain is a constant rain on its own shelter
But there's a parade in that dread
There's a symphony swaying in the downpour
And it plays me to sleep eventually each night into my morning
And I can't go on ignoring the tender heart in my chest
And the splendor in its beating
Oh, the pain in possessing such a tenderness
But what else is worth possessing?
When even in the tremor
I feel a stillness growing


HEY!.. IVE BEEN TO THE PLACE WHERE THAT GIRL IS WALKING AROUND SINGING... I DID IT WITH A BABY STRAPPED TO MY BACK... AND I THINK THAT GIRL ESCAPED FROM PRISON...

Fool by Villagers

Like any modern dog
I choose what I can see
From any infomercial to the bodies on the street
And for now I keep my head down
But one day I will precede
My reputation

'Cause I'm a fool love
For the burden
Of the promise of eternal life in heaven
Of the kind of anaesthetic for the journey
To where there's no need to worry

And the world is passin' by you
But you'll miss if you blink
And the future has been written
But the pen ran out ink
And the dopamine is dripping back
Into the kitchen sink
Send your location

'Cause I'm a fool love
For the burden
Of the promise of eternal life in heaven
Of the kind of anaesthetic for the journey
To where there's no need to worry

So here is my bleeding heart
Will you be my falling star?
Will you take the pain away?

There's money in the morning
And I'm looking at my screen
And fail to accept that there's a problem to the scene, too
There's a problem

'Cause I'm a fool, love
For the burden
Of the promise of eternal life in heaven
Of the kind of anaesthetic for the journey
To where there's no need to worry

I'm a fool love
For the burden
Of the promise of eternal life in heaven
Of the kind of anaesthetic for the journey
To where there's no need to worry
