The Dodos – Black Night

LOVE this song like I love strawberry liquorice- unconditionally and forever!

LYRICS because if you’re like me you listen to the song then you listen to the song while reading the lyrics then you decide if your throat got tight from the amazingness of it or your foot started tapping from dance potential. That dear reader is the Anna-Lisa judging scale, it is very precise and hardly ever wrong 🙂

I’m having a musical heaven day, everything I listened to today made me happy! Maybe it’s the Friday factor but I like to think everyday is just getting better and better.

HEARTS!

Black night, blackness
When I wanted you, how I haunted you
All to myself
One gift, one slip
Where you hiding at, who your aiming at
Won’t kiss and tell

Control yourself
I don’t want it to, I don’t need it to
Can someone else
Counting until
When you’re heading to, ’cause your attitude
Turn on itself

Kind heart, kindness
Where you going to, are you going through
Heaven or hell
Won’t slip, won’t miss
When I’m on to you, send it over to
Your faith in hell

Control yourself
I don’t want it to, I don’t need it to
Contain itself
Counting until
It was never that, I was aiming at
It means someone else
Ha! (x8)

You want it all. You want to walk. You want to walk.
Crack through it
You had it all. You had it all. You had it all

You threw it
You want it all. You want to walk. You want to walk.
Crack through it.
You had it all. You had it all. You had it all
You threw it

Black night, blackness
When I wanted you, how I haunted you
All to myself
One kiss, one slip
Where you going to, are you going through
Heaven or hell

Control yourself
I don’t want it to, I don’t need it to
Can someone else
Counting Until
When you need it to, ’cause your attitude
Turn on itself

You want it all. You want to walk. You want to walk
Crack through it
You had it all, you had it all, you had it all
You threw it
You want it all. You want to walk. You want to walk
Crack through it
You had it all, you had it all, you had it all
You threw it

Kurt Vile – Baby’s Arms

LOVE SONG LYRICS FOR YOU:

There has been but one true love
In my baby’s arms, in my baby’s arms
And I got the hands to hold onto them

I get sick of just about everyone
And I hide in my baby’s arms
Cause except for her, you know, as I’ve implied

I will never ever ever be alone
Cause it’s all in my baby’s hands
Shiny, shiny secret stones
In my baby’s hands

I get sick of just about everyone
And I hide in my baby’s arms
Shrink myself just like a tom thumb
And I hide in my baby’s hands

Cause except for her
There just ain’t nothin to latch onto

There has been but one true love
In my baby’s arms

Efterklang – I Was Playing Drums

Beautiful Lyrics from a beautiful band

I can’t grow without

a weapon or a dream

cause we belong to her.

What is soft to touch

forever we will be

and we belong to her.

Beneath the polaroid

the walls are groing on

and it gave, and it gave us hope

in the past when we were friends.

I deny, at the night

there’s no where to walk no hurry

the machines, oh the machines they were all fine and full.

I can’t grow without

a weapon or a dream

’cause we belong to her.

What is soft to touch

forever it will be

and we belong to her.

The Drums – Money

Love this! sounds so Morrissey. I’ll be spending the last days of winter in South Africa dancing to this song.

Here are the only lyrics I could find… not particularly deep but that’s okay, noone wants deeply meaningful lyrics while you’re having fun.

Before I die I’d like to do something nice
Take me out yeah take me for a ride
You hit me yesterday cos I made you cry
So before I die let me do something nice

I want to buy you something but I don’t have any money
I don’t have any money

And if I find a car I would give you my car
If I had a gun I would give you my gun
…? ? ? the city
Well there’s something to be done x4

I want to buy you something but I don’t have any money
I don’t have any money”
