Not a Robot, But a Ghost by Andrew Bird
I hear the clockwork in your core
time strips the gears till you forget what they were for
I push the numbers through your pores
I crack the codes
I crack the codes that end the war

Beneath the Balcony by Iron & Wine
And how he prays to find a man to blame
For every sleepless night he spends
And for every well that he warned me of
But wound up fallin' in
lyrics | listen
Spectral Alphabet by Jason Molina
Emptiness and blue
Beside the city moon
The empty streets
Hardly remember you
The rest of us do

A Nervous Tic Motion of the Head to the Left by Andrew Bird
Overprescibed
Under the mister
We had survived to
Turn on the History Channel
And ask our esteemed panel
Why are we alive?
lyrics | listen
Didn't It Rain by Songs: Ohia
Try to see the light of goodness burning down the track
Through the blinding rain, through the swaying wires
If I see you struggle, I will not turn my back
I've seen a good man and a bad man down the same path

English Tea by Paul McCartney
Would you care to sit with me
For a cup of English tea?
Very twee, very me
Any sunny morning
lyrics | listen
Anonanimal by Andrew Bird
I will become this animal
Perfectly adapted to the music halls
I will become this animal
Anomalous appendages
A non-animal
lyrics | listen
Just a Spark by Songs: Ohia
Here it is white and full like a pale ghost across the sky
And here it is crescent like a dagger from your heart into mine
Here it is just a spark to shine
lyrics | listen
It's Only A Paper Moon by Harold Arlen
Say it's only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me

A Sunday Smile by Beirut
All I want is the best for our lives, my dear,
And you know my wishes are sincere.
What's to say of all the days I cannot bear?

Why Was I Born? by Billie Holiday
Why do I try
To draw you near me?
Why do I cry?
You never hear me.
I'm a poor fool,
But what can I do?
lyrics | listen
Hard to Concentrate by the Red Hot Chili Peppers
And, all I want is for you to be happy
And, take this woman and make you my family
lyrics | listen
Tais Toi Mon Coeur by Dionysos
Mais un beau jour comme ça tu te lève
Avec une idée à la con
Fouiller souvenirs et les rêves
Dans la poubelle à passion
lyrics | listen
Heart's A Mess by Gotye
You don't get burned
'Cause nothing gets through
It makes it easier
Easier on you
But that much more difficult for me
To make you see...
