The Arcade Fire: Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)
And if the snow buries my,
my neighborhood.
And if my parents are crying
then I'll dig a tunnel
from my window to yours,
yeah a tunnel from my window to yours.
You climb out the chimney
and meet me in the middle,
the middle of town.
And since there's no one else around,
we let our hair grow long
and forget all we used to know,
then our skin gets thicker
from living out in the snow.
You change all the lead
sleepin' in my head,
as the day grows dim
I hear you sing a golden hymn.
Then we tried to name our babies,
but we forgot all the names that,
the names we used to know.
But sometimes, we remember our bedrooms,
and our parent's bedrooms,
and the bedrooms of our friends.
Then we think of our parents,
well what ever happened to them?!
You change all the lead
sleepin' in my head to gold,
as the day grows dim,
I hear you sing a golden hymn,
the song I've been trying to say.
Purify the colors, purify my mind.
Purify the colors, purify my mind,
and spread the ashes of the colors
over this heart of mine!

Hot Hot Heat: Goodnight, Goodnight
It's not enough to hear me say you've won,
you only wanted me for havin' fun.
but now I think you've gone and had your way,
and left me with a pile of bills to pay.
I can't even rewind the tape machine,
to listen to your drunken reasoning.
So here it is, your final lullaby:
So goodnight, goodnight.
You're embarassing me,
you're embarassing you.
So goodnight, goodnight.
Walk away from the door,
walk away from my life.
So goodnight.
I've given up on social nights at ease,
I threw 'em out when I threw out your keys.
Along with all your records I can't stand;
you never even listened to any one of them.
You're never gonna drag me out again,
with all the people that were never ever even your friends.
So here it is, your final lullaby:
So goodnight, goodnight.
You're embarassing me,
you're embarassing you.
So goodnight, goodnight.
Walk away from the door,
walk away from my life.
A little bit of rain I’d say is fair,
But why does ???
This isn't getting hurt, this is goodbye.
So goodnight, goodnight.
You're embarassing me,
you're embarassing you.
So goodnight, goodnight.
Walk away from the door,
walk away from my life.
So goodnight, goodnight.
You're embarassing me,
you're embarassing you.
So goodnight, goodnight.
Walk away from the door,
walk away from my life.
so goodnight.

Pushing thru the market square, so many mothers sighing
News had just come over, we had five years left to cry in
News guy wept and told us, earth was really dying
Cried so much his face was wet, then I knew he was not lying
I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies
I saw boys, toys electric irons and t.v.’s
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
And all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people
And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people
I never thought I’d need so many people
A girl my age went off her head, hit some tiny children
If the black hadn’t a-pulled her off, I think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm, fixed his stare to the wheels of a cadillac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest, and a queer threw up at the sight of that
I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour, drinking milk shakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine, don’t think
You knew you were in this song
And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
And I thought of ma and I wanted to get back there
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
I kiss you, you’re beautiful, I want you to walk
We’ve got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
We’ve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that’s all we’ve got
We’ve got five years, what a surprise
Five years, stuck on my eyes
We’ve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that’s all we’ve got
We’ve got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
We’ve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that’s all we’ve got
We’ve got five years, what a surprise
We’ve got five years, stuck on my eyes
We’ve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that’s all we’ve got
Five years
Five years
Five years
Five years

Quasar Wut Wut: Enola Gay
She’s got graves for every hunchback in town
Who would offer their humps up to the Holy of Holies.
Now, you may think that you’re safe in the crowd -
How fast can you run from the galloping Furies?
I’ve seen her waltzing through the war-tattered skies,
Possessed by the drums of the Sanctum Sanctorum.
But when I gaze into those black-market eyes
It makes me wanna give it all up.
I’m okay, I’ve got my head on the ropes now
I’m just a quarter sort of a dime.
And I’m at my knees to the tortuous tease
Thinking it’s time to slow down.
But the statute she reads states that these tricks up my sleeves
Are gonna chew off my arm somehow.
Sr. Androgenous is spindling over
Too brief a description of the sexual organs.
In my confusion I have found my way
To the alter where they play tempestuous games:
I see my darling with her hair up in tangles
Fixing her men with fatal doses and damsels.
And when I gaze into those black-market eyes
It makes me wanna give it all up
I’m okay, I’ve got my head on the ropes now
I’m just a quarter sort of a dime.
And I’m at my knees to the tortuous tease
Thinking it’s time to slow down.
But the statute she reads states that these tricks up my sleeves
Are gonna chew off my arm somehow.
All I wanted was to hold you,
And I’ve waited so long for the day
When I’ll be called into your pale room
Oh, my darling Enola Gay.

Artist: Gil Scott-Heron
Album: The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
Song: The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
You will not be able to stay home, brother.
You will not be able to plug in, turn on and drop out.
You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip,
Skip out for beer during commercials
Because the revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be brought to you by Xerox
In 4 parts without commercial interruption.
The revolution will not show you pictures of Nixon
Blowing a bugle and leading a charge by John Mitchell,
General Abrams and Spiro Agnew to eat
Hog maws confiscated from the Harlem sanctuary.
The revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will be brought to you by the Schaefer Award Theatre and
will not star Natalie Wood and Steve McQueen or Bullwinkle and Julia.
The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal.
The revolution will not get rid of the nubs.
The revolution will not make you look five pounds
Thinner, because The Revolution will not be televised, Brother.
There will be no pictures of you and Willie Mays
Pushing that cart down the block on the dead run,
Or trying to slide that colour television into a stolen ambulance.
NBC will not predict the winner at 8:32 or the count from 29 districts.
The revolution will not be televised.
There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down
Brothers in the instant replay.
There will be no pictures of young being
Run out of Harlem on a rail with a brand new process
There will be no slow motion or still life of
Roy Wilkens strolling through Watts in a red, black and
Green liberation jumpsuit that he had been saving
For just the right occasion
Green Acres, The Beverly Hillbillies, and
Hooterville Junction will no longer be so damned relevant,
and Women will not care if Dick finally gets down with
Jane on Search for Tomorrow because Black people
will be in the street looking for a brighter day.
The revolution will not be televised.
There will be no highlights on the eleven o'clock News
and no pictures of hairy armed Women Liberationists and
Jackie Onassis blowing her nose.
The theme song will not be written by Jim Webb, Francis Scott Key,
nor sung by Glen Campbell, Tom Jones, Johnny Cash,
Englebert Humperdinck, or the Rare Earth.
The revolution will not be televised
The revolution will not be right back after a message
About a white tornado, white lightning, or white people.
You will not have to worry about a germ on your Bedroom,
a tiger in your tank, or the giant in your toilet bowl.
The revolution will not go better with Coke.
The revolution will not fight the germs that cause bad breath.
The revolution WILL put you in the driver's seat.
The revolution will not be televised,
WILL not be televised,WILL NOT BE TELEVISED.
The revolution will be no re-run brothers;
The revolution will be live.

Fire and Rain
James Taylor
Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Susanne the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can’t remember who to send it to
I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain
I’ve seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I’d see you again
Won’t you look down upon me, jesus
You’ve got to help me make a stand
You’ve just got to see me through another day
My body’s aching and my time is at hand
And I won’t make it any other way
Oh, I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain
I’ve seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I’d see you again
Been walking my mind to an easy time my back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it’ll turn your head around
Well, there’s hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things
To come
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground
Oh, I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain
I’ve seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I’d see you, baby, one more time again, now
Thought I’d see you one more time again
There’s just a few things coming my way this time around, now
Thought I’d see you, thought I’d see you fire and rain, now

Eels: Going Fetal
quote: Everyone is going fetal
It's the dance the kids all feel
Just get down under your desk
Feels like your mama's nest
Alright
Everyone is going fetal
It's the one thats really real
You're gonna love it if you give it a try
You just lay down like you're gonna die
Alright
Everyone is going fetal
If you feel like your fate is sealed
Then just get down and curl on up
Just like a little helpless pup
Alright
Everyone is going fetal

the mitchell brothers feat. kano and the streets - routine check
[Teddy Mitchell]
Spoken: The good thing with the law these days, right
Is that criminals know their rights better than their wrongs
[Chorus]
What do you mean routine check?
I didn’t take this route to be checked
Sound like you routinely check
Any youths in jeans AND CREPS
What do you mean routine check?
I didn’t take this route to be checked
Sound like you routinely check
Any youths in jeans AND CREPS
[Teddy Mitchell]
Ten two nine
Teddy tends to not have time
That’s when Teddy wants to decline
To entertain all your piss taking jives
I tell you my name
I’m identified by
And when the station verifies
You realise what I tell you is right
Your hand dips inside my black Stan Smiths
Rustles my CK boxers
F*ck sake you nearly grabbed man’s d*ck
c*nt-stable
Sorry I didn’t mean c*nt-stable
But that name feels so comfortable
And I find it so fun to talk
Coz there’s no sh*t goin down nothin at all
Seein your sidekicks getting kicks
Off my side’s embarrassment
But you’ll see me end up in the van again
And you’ll hear the cell door slam again
[Chorus]
What do you mean routine check?
I didn’t take this route to be checked
Sound like you routinely check
Any youths in jeans AND CREPS
What do you mean routine check?
I didn’t take this route to be checked
Sound like you routinely check
Any youths in jeans AND CREPS
[Tony Mitchell] (Copper)
What’s the problem officer?
(Just a routine check mate
That’s why we stoppin ya)
Wow, this is the third time now, must be popular
Never knew I had fans here’s my autograph
As you can see it’s all steady yeah I bought my car
Licence, insurance it’s all proper
(Listen I make that decision you just keep it on guard
Mr. Tony Mitchell you’re man apart
with your saggy jeans lookin like you so hard
wearin jackets twice your size like you’re carryin arms
You gotta stand here)
What? You gotta be havin a laugh,
If this is what I’m bein held for then kiss my arse
I showed you all my papers now what more do you need?
(Now come on son where you hidin all the weed? Is it in the glove compartment or under the seat? Behind the sun visor all tidy and neat now listen son you might as well tell me what you got)
What you on about? Obviously your plan’s flopped
Tryin to put me wrist in cuffs I think not
I know I ain’t got no skunk so just piss off
[Chorus]
What do you mean routine check?
I didn’t take this route to be checked
Sound like you routinely check
Any youths in jeans AND CREPS
What do you mean routine check?
I didn’t take this route to be checked
Sound like you routinely check
Any youths in jeans AND CREPS
[Kano]
Aww man
What the f*ck you want from me?
I just want to be left alone so don’t even bother me
Interrupt me and accuse me wrongfully
I ain’t got the time so this is long for me
Spoken: Bla bla bla
Kano Robinson
Twenty first of the fifth eighty five

You won’t find a box of merch so spare me the time of the stop and search
Two black boys and they got a Merc
If it was stolen why would we stop the Merc?
You pulled us to try and find problems
Like Jay-Z and 99 Problems
I’m a bad boy anyway always got protection, 99 Condoms
Yeah officer, course I’m a thief, dealin lil drugs and my boot smell of weed
[Chorus]
What do you mean routine check?
I didn’t take this route to be checked
Sound like you routinely check
Any youths in jeans AND CREPS
What do you mean routine check?
I didn’t take this route to be checked
Sound like you routinely check
Any youths in jeans AND CREPS
[Mike Skinner]
Oi oi I don’t get many routine checks these days
But these bros are not the same
Apart from the day off that train from that Tottenham game
I do tend to end days in the police station
On occasion lately
Once a week
Maybe
I get a crime reference number for my most recent phone
The police code that’s the code for a free phone
Take one camera phone
Tell em I got jacked of the phone
When in fact actually though
The previous evening back at home
I played baby foot
No-one jacked my phone
I madly gambled my phone and got smacked
By my bro
[Chorus]
What do you mean routine check?
I didn’t take this route to be checked
Sound like you routinely check
Any youths in jeans AND CREPS
What do you mean routine check?
I didn’t take this route to be checked
Sound like you routinely check
Any youths in jeans AND CREPS

Across The Universe
Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai guru de va om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
That call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they
Tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Jai guru de va om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Sounds of laughter shades of earth are ringing
Through my open views inviting and inciting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a
Million suns, it calls me on and on
Across the universe
Jai guru de va om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

A personal favorite from Genesis.
Undertow
The curtains are drawn
Now the fire warms the room.
Meanwhile outside
Wind from the north-east chills the air,
It will soon be snowing out there.
And some there are cold,
They prepare for a sleepless night.
Maybe this will be their last fight.
But we're safe in each other's embrace,
All fears go out as I look on your face-
Better think awhile
Or I may never think again.
If this were the last day of your life, my friend,
Tell me, what do you think you would do then?
Stand up to the blow that fate has struck upon you,
Make the most of all you still have coming to you, or
Lay down on the ground and let the tears run from you,
Crying to the grass and trees and heaven finally on your knees
Let me live again, let life come find me wanting.
Spring must strike again against the shield of winter.
Let me feel once more the arms of love surround me,
Telling me the danger's past, I need not fear the icy blast again.
Laughter, music and perfume linger here
And there, and there,
Wine flows from flask to glass and mouth,
As it soothes, confusing our doubts.
And soon we feel,
Why do a single thing to-day,
There's tomorrow sure as I'm here.
So the days they turn into years
And still no tomorrow appears.
Better think awhile
Or I may never think again.
If this were the last day of your life, my friend,
Tell me, what do you think you would do then?
Stand up to the blow that fate has struck upon you,
Make the most of all you still have coming to you, or
Lay down on the ground and let the tears run from you,
Crying to the grass and trees and heaven finally on your knees
Let me live again, let life come find me wanting.
Spring must strike again, against the shield of winter.
Let me feel once more the arms of love surround me,
Telling me the danger's past, I need not fear the icy blast again.
