iron & wine, 'my lady's house' There is light in my lady's house
And there's none but some falling rain
This like a spoken word
She is more than her thousand names

No hands are half as gentle
Or firm as they like to be
Thank God you see me the way you do
Strange as you are to me

ani difranco, 'swan dive' Cradling the softest, warmest part of you in my hands
Feels like a baby bird fallen from the nest
I think that your body is something I understand
I think that I'm happy, I think that I'm blessed
I've a lack of inhibition, I've had a loss of perspective
I've had a little bit to drink and it's making me think
That I jump ship and swim, that the ocean will hold me
That there has to be more than this bowl I'm in

Cause they'll call me crazy if I fail
All the chance that I need is one in a million
And they can call me brilliant if I succeed
Gravity is nothing to me, moving at the speed of sound
Just gonna get my feet wet until I drown

neko case, 'maybe sparrow' Maybe sparrow he should wait
The hawk's alight till morning
Never pass beyond the gate
You don't hear my warning

Notes are hung so effortless
With the rise and fall of sparrow's breast
It's a drowning dive and back to the chorus
La-di-da di-da di-da
La-di-da di-da di-da

Oh my sparrow it's too late
Your body limp beneath my feet
Your dusky eyes as cold as pain
Didn't hear my warning
Didn't hear my warning

...and you will know us by the trail of dead, 'a witch's web' And if I fall then I'll stand back up
Because learning how to run is half the fun
Somehow I know that there must be something better
No one's gonna have power over me

If there's a sign above the door (over you)
That says you have to hang your coat
But you're wanting me to pay the doorman with my soul
I think that I'll be moving on

ted leo and the pharmacists 'the gold finch and the red oak tree' As I walked through cities one Saturday
A golden finch came winging my way
And sang to me a song of my country and words of life from city and sea
Golden finch, your song is your love
You will sing forever above
Golden finch, alight in your loft
Where I have learned and you have taught

She did wing through aerial places
The red oak tree grew under her feet
And when the world had started its taking
She lit amongst its loftier leaves
Golden finch, alight in your loft
You have learned and you have taught
The red oak tree will carry your loss
When you alone can't carry that cross

boa 'duvet' And you don't seem to understand
A shame you seemed an honest man
And all the fears you hold so dear
Will turn to whisper in your ear
And you know what they say might hurt you
And you know that it means so much
And you don't even feel a thing

I am falling, I am fading
I have lost it all

blonde redhead 'for the damaged' Maybe again he will be alone
Guess we're equally damaged
Find your name do it all the same equally
Signal when you can't breathe no more

Say you were me then you could see the view
You'll know we are equally damaged
Don't be a fool, make it easier
You'll learn to say when
Signal if you can't say, "no more"

Don't cross your finger
Sundays will never change, they keep on coming
You'll be a freak and I'll keep you company

young galaxy 'swing your heartache' We have learned that hope does not come cheap
We all must sacrifice in the name of our beliefs
We believe in time that you will see
The frontier is misery
The frontier is misery
What do you think it is that makes us free?
A life without boundaries if you question everything

It's time for you and I to face the signs
And realize that living's a battle
For all the times we've cried and told the lies
And realized life's not a rehearsal

Come on babe, swing your heartache
Come on babe, swing your heartache

muse 'sunburn' Come waste your millions here, secretly she says
Another corporate show, a guilty conscience grows
And I'll feel a guilty conscience grow
And I'll feel a guilty conscience grow
She burns like the sun, and I can't look away
She'll burn our horizons, make no mistake

Come let the truth be shared, no one ever dared
To break these endless lies, secretly she cries
She burns like the sun, and I can't look away
She'll burn our horizons, make no mistake
And I'll hide from the world behind a broken frame
And I'll burn forever, I can't face the shame

coheed & cambria 'in keeping secrets of silent earth: 3' The navigator
The pilot
Her favourite
The one they call the vision that bears the gift
The navigator
The pilot
Her favourite
The one they call the vision that bears the gift

Will,
Do the children really understand
The things you did to them?
And why, oh why
Should they conjure up the will?
For you, my love, I would kill him

We're coming home pretty soon
Coming home

hole 'doll-parts' I fake it so real, I am beyond fake
And someday, you will ache like I ache
Someday you will ache like I ache
Someday you will ache like I ache
Someday you will ache like I ache
Someday you will ache like I ache
