Yours Sincerely, Wasting Away: My mix for summer 2009.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RNXCPXCP 01. Regina Spektor :: Eet
It’s like forgetting the words to your favorite song
You can’t believe it
You were always singing along
It was so easy and the words so sweet
You can’t remember
You try to feel the beat
02. Paul Simon :: Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes
She's a rich girl
She don't try to hide it
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
He's a poor boy
Empty as a pocket
Empty as a pocket with nothing to lose
03. The World/Inferno Friendship Societ :: Ich Erinnere Mich An Die Weimarer Republik
Pirate Jenny, she bought the bar,
Now everybody works for her
And Sally Bowles' 'Mein Herr' bit took off
And she's a star
04. The Format :: Let's Make This Moment A Crime
We just got to take our time
It's like nothing really matters,
So let's make this moment a crime
I know, I know you’re left behind
05. We're About 9 :: For One More
And we could spend that whole night believing
That something about us ever was right.
And in the morning you'll wake up alone,
An unknown in the scheme I could never condone,
Oh, but for one more night in your arms,
My soul will be tarnished, my dignity blown
06. Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin :: Think I Wanna Die
Will you ever know what you do to me?
I’m on my broken knees, no end of sorrow.
Sorry if that’s twee but it’s tomorrow’s hope.
07. Rilo Kiley :: Frug
And I can hate your girl
I can tell you that she's real pretty
I can take my clothes off
I cannot fall in love
You'll never see my eyes
I will not call you back
I cannot do the smurf
I cannot fall in love
I'll never fall in love
I cannot fall in love
08. Frou Frou :: Maddening Shroud
Sometimes I like to get away from the saddening crowd
Sometimes I feel my life is all in vain
Maybe it's time for me to pack it in
Maybe it's time for me to track it in
Maybe it's time for me to throw...
09. Tegan and Sara :: Nineteen
I felt you in my legs before I ever met you
And when I laid beside you for the first time I told you
"I feel you in my heart and I don’t even know you"
And now we’re saying bye, bye, bye
10. Iron and Wine :: Flightless Bird, American Mouth
I was a quick wet boy, diving too deep for coins
All of your street light eyes wide on my plastic toys
Then when the cops closed the fair, I cut my long baby hair
Stole me a dog-eared map and called for you everywhere
11. The Beatles :: When I'm 64
Send me a postcard, drop me a line,
Stating point of view.
Indicate precisely what you mean to say
Yours sincerely, Wasting Away.
12. Kate Nash :: Merry Happy/Little Red
Dancing at discos
Eating cheese on toast
Yeah you make me merry make me very very happy
But you obviously, you didn't want to stick around
So I learnt from you
I can be alone, yeah
I can watch a sunset on my own
...
Well, this little girl grew up and moved away.
And she lived her life full of risk and full of play.
And she lived her life with so much to say,
And her flowers, they grow more beautiful every day.
