Invincible - OK Go
When they finally come, what will you do to them?
Gonna decimate them like you did to me?
Will you leave them stunned and stuttering?
She's A Genius - JET
My girl's ready to take control
She just blows my mind
She only listens to the radio to see who's alive
...
They said, "Oh hey there, girl, tell me what d'you do?"
She said, "Um, nothing, but I'm damn sure it's more than you."
Salute Your Salution - The Raconteurs
And I got what I got all despite you
And I get what I get just to spite you
Do What You Want - OK Go
So you were born in an electrical storm
Took a bite out the sun
And saw your future in a machine built for two
Now your rays make me kind of go crazy
Shock and awe and amaze me
Just a ticker tape parade and me
But something was wrong
Till you tap danced on the air, in the night
Screaming at the top of your lungs, you said
"Come on, come on!
Do what you want!
What could go wrong?"
I've Just Seen A Face - Jim Sturgess [The Beatles cover]
I have never known
The likes of this, I've been alone
And I have missed things and kept out of sight
But other girls were never quite like this
Falling, yes, I am falling
And she keeps calling me back again
L. Wells - Franz Ferdinand
All those men sing you'll never walk alone
But you'll never let them break your little heart
Well, Lindsey Wells
How I wish that I could feel so good
I wish that I could be as good as you
...
If you have some sort of secret
If you need someone to tell
You can tell me
Oh Yeah - The Subways
God bless your soul girl
Now you got the whole world
I'm on my way now
I'll get there somehow
...
It's your eyes that make me smile
Wasting time, hanging out
These teenage years, no they don't last
These teenage lips, they speak too fast
Do You Want To - Franz Ferdinand
When I woke up tonight, I said
I'm gonna make somebody love me
I'm gonna make somebody love me
And now I know, now I know, now I know
I know that it's you
You're lucky, lucky, you're so lucky!
K.I.A. (Killed In Action) - JET
It goes
I ain't there
This ain't fair
I ain't scared
...
K.I.A. in love, I'm your target
K.I.A., baby, let's get this started
I wanna kung fu kick you in your 4-wheel drive
It's war zone, baby, do you wanna survive?
Boys Wanna Be Her - Peaches
To you they crawl, body sprawl
Smokin' Pall Malls
Close call, stand tall
Doll, you make them feel so small
AND THEY LOVE IT!
...
The boys wanna be her
The girls wanna be her
The boys wanna be her
I wanna be her
So do you
Violet Stars Happy Hunting!!! - Janelle Monae
I'm a product of metal
I'm a product of metal
I'm a product of the man
...
A pretty day makes a pretty picture
But fall in love and they're coming to getcha
Bad Reputation - The Hit Girls [Joan Jett cover]
I don't give a damn about my reputation
You're living in the past, it's a new generation
And a girl can do what she wants to do
And that's what I'm gonna do
Sick Muse - Metric
Watch out, Cupid
Stuck me with a sickness
Pull your little arrows out
And let me live my life
Standing Tears Apart - Remi Nicole
I'm a big bad girl
Who never ever cries
My feelings aren't your concern
'Cause they are locked inside
So do whatever you want
'Cause I will remain strong for you
For you
For you
Tender Torture - Islands
I've got to have you in my arms
I'm gonna have you in my arms
...
You send me over in tender torture
And when it's over, it's tender torture
Falling - Florence & The Machine
I'm not scared to jump
I'm not scared to fall
If there was nowhere to land
I wouldn't be scared at all
Sometimes I wish for falling
Wish for the release
Wish for falling through the air
To give me some relief
Because falling's not the problem
When I'm falling I'm at peace
It's only when I hit the ground
It causes all the grief
Undeclared - The Dodos
You give me your insanity
But I think it might be vanity
'Cause you want what you can't have for free
And you don't know what it means to me
So my love stays undeclared
Yeah, my love stays undeclared
So Nice So Smart - Kimya Dawson
You're so nice and you're so smart
You're such a good friend I have to break your heart
I'll tell you that I love you, then I'll tear your world apart
Just pretend I didn't tear your world apart
Unattainable - Little Joy
Only when the goal is unattainable
Do I start to feel like I'm losing myself
And this deep secret
That hasn't come out yet
Is buried down deep with the rest
Blinding - Florence & The Machine
It seems that I have been held in some dreaming state
A tourist in the waking world, never quite awake
No kiss, no gentle word could wake me from this slumber
Until I realized that it was you who held me under
Felt it in my fists, in my feet, in the hollows of my eyelids
Shaking through my skull, through my spine and down through my ribs
No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone
No more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world
Collect Call - Metric
I know it's a lie
I want it to be true
The rest of the ride
Is riding on you
Over goodbyes we'll buy some place for
Wishing you could
Keep me closer
I'm a lazy dancer
When you move, I move with you
