Ugh I was going through my tabs to look for something and found this. It's been open for the past...week? So I am just going to post it so I can finally close this tab.

Life
Ingrid Michaelson - Soldier
I don't believe in anything but myself
I don't believe in anything but myself
But then you opened up the door,
You opened up the door
Now I start to believe in something else
But how do I know if I'll make it through?
How do I know, where's the proof in you?
And so it goes, this soldier knows
A battle with the heart isn't easily won
Marina and the Diamonds - Oh No!
I know exactly what I want and who I want to be
I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine
I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy
Oh, oh no, oh no, oh no
One track mind, one track heart
If I fail, I'll fall apart
Maybe it is all a test
Cause I feel like I'm the worst
So I always act like I'm the best
Athlete - Tourist
This European air
It always warms my face
I wish I could buy some
I will bring you stories
And bleary-eyed photos
Like a regular tourist
Cocknbullkid - Hold on to Your Misery
Hold on, to your insecurities
I need them and they need me
Hold on, to that pain in your chest
You're most alive when you're nearest death
Hold on, to what makes you cold
Wear it like a badge of pride wherever you go
Hold on, to your hopelessness
At your worst is when you're at your best
What more am I owed but certain death?
It seems there's nothing more and there's nothing less
Things that I deserve and things I never should
A little cynicism will do you good
Los Campesinos! - You! Me! Dancing!
and i always get confused
because in supermarkets they turn the lights off when they want you to leave, but in discos they turn them on,
and it's always sad to go, but it's never that sad,
because there's only certain places you're guaranteed of getting a hug when you go.
and on the way home, it seems like a good idea to go paddle in the fountain,
and that's because it is a good idea.
and we're all like how rousseau depicts man in the state of nature
we're undeveloped, we're ignorant, we're stupid, but we're happy.
Relationships
Laura Marling - You're No God
-> Moirine
And you will never leave this place,
And you will always feel alone,
And you will never feel quite clean
In this new skin that you have grown
Until your old and broken bones
Are laid into their resting place
Just like the rest of human race.
Snow Patrol - How to be Dead
-> Marijke
Please keep your hands down, and stop raising your voice,
Its hardly what I'd be doing, if you gave me a choice,
Its a simple suggestion, can you give me some time,
So just say yes or no, why can't you shoulder the blame?
'cause both my shoulders are heavy, from the weight of us both,
You're a big boy now, so let's not talk about growth,
You've not heard a single word I have said, Oh My God.
Los Campesinos! - My Year in Lists
->in general
Damn extended metaphors, I get carried away
On the back of a natural disaster, fixed with parcel tape and with kids sticking plasters
Nothing says "I miss you" quite like war poetry you carved in your door with a Stanley knife
My year in lists
Stomping on your fingers as you're clinging on to the abyss
So put on every winter coat that you've owned since '98
And every midnight sees the countdown to another awful day
I cherish with fondness the day (before) I met you
On your request, I compile a list
Of my top five resolutions for this year (one!)
I declined 'cause I decided that I (two!)
Do not believe in the new year anymore (three!)
And you must confess that at times like these
Hopefulness is tantamount to hopelessness (four!)
And I accept that it's time for a change but not in
Places like this with people like these (five! five! five! five! five!)
The Bluetones - After Hours
-> Rhys + "Cerys" back when one wasn't dead and the other was still talking to her
Lord only knows what kind of poison I'm drinking
I can't read the label
So I'll just dance off my cares like Fred Astaire
up here on the table
The shutters come down
and that's what they're for
we dont want to invite in the law
we speak in hushed tones
and dim down the lights
we're staying after hours tonight
Starsailor - Lullaby
-> Self
Get back on your feet again
You always seem down
Some of your weaker friends
Don't want you around
Lullaby
Stop twisting my words tonight
If you get high on life
Don't leave me behind
Lullaby
You live in my ruined mind
Make light of all my fears
And lead me from here
Abel
Rizzle Kicks - Prophet (better watch it)
What! I'm last on the heaven list,
Cuz I couldn't give a ras what angelic is.
Even my laughter is venomous
Dennis is, not even half what this menace is.
We don't choose to make trouble holding up stores with lucazade bottles
I'm the one forcing you to break bad
Whilst little goodie two shoes glues plane models.
Mmmm an air of sophistication
When I enter various situations
Your best mate's gone downstairs while you're stuck there with his sister waiting.
I'm chilling in estates,
Sniffing at a rave
Sitting in a cave
With a grin up on my face
I ain't civil but I'm brave
Never listening to faith
Quick smile
Then a middle finger to your face
Me and you will never be the same
Cuz clearly for you this ain't just a phase
The type to steal something although that it is free
The type to make a promise just to break it clean
Who are you trying to be?
Who are you trying to please?
Make your mind up and choose your way
Maybe then we can seal the day
Franz Ferdinand - Michael
Michael,
you're dancing like a beautiful dance whore
Michael,
waiting on a silver platter now
and nothing matters now
Otherness
Bloc Party - The Prayer
Lord, give me grace and dancing feet
And the power to impress
Lord, give me grace and dancing feet
Let me outshine them all
Is it so wrong to crave recognition?
2nd best, runner up
Is it so wrong to want rewarding?
To want more, than is given to you
Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm I will slice I will dazzle them with my wit
Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm I will slice I will dazzle
I will outshine them all
Tinie Tempah (feat. Ellie Goulding) - Wonderman
Mad thoughts in my head when it's blowin up,
Like, "are you really big enough?"
I traded friends for fans,
Cement for sand,
Raise your hand,
The Wonderman.
Ingrid Michaelson - Breakable
Have you ever thought about what protects our hearts?
Just a cage of rib bones and other various parts.
So it's fairly simple to cut right through the mess.
And to stop the muscle that makes us confess.
We are so fragile,
And our cracking bones make noise,
And we are just,
Breakable, breakable, breakable, girls and boys.
MY PARENTS ARE DEAD AND I HAVE SO MANY FEELS
Ingrid Michaelson & Sara Bareilles - Winter Song
They say that things just cannot grow
beneath the winter snow,
or so I have been told.
They say we're buried far,
just like a distant star
I simply cannot hold.
Is love alive?
Los Campesinos! - By Your Hand
But fate's a cruel mistress, girl, the prettiest in the world.
She dresses loosely in a bathrobe with her hair up in curls,
cuz we were kissing for hours with her hands in my trousers,
she could not contain herself, suggests we go back to her house.
But here it comes, this is the crux,
she vomits down my rental tux.
I'm not sure if it's love anymore,
but I've been thinking of you fondly for sure.
Remember what your heart is for.
By your hand is the only end I foresee,
I have been dreaming you've been dreaming about me
And it's a good night
For a fist fight
Because the dew will temper your fall
You'll sing me lullabies in form of your cat-calls
Laura Marling - Cross Your Fingers
Look down on the body
that you have grown
Mountains stand around you
they're not your own.
When white squares and bodies are all you see
Since you broke down
Since I broke down
Since we broke down
Now I jump into your grave and die
Now my word you'll give up your whole life for me
And you'll be reborn big and stronger and less alive
Athlete - Black Swan Song
The forest always kept us warm
But it doesn't feel like home any more
And I know there's bigger mountains where you are
And a better climate for my heart, oh, oh
I've been racing the clock and I've run out of steam
I am ready for my final symphony
Oh, my body is weak but my soul is still strong
I am ready to rest in your arms
Though many battles I have won
I lost too many friends I could count on
And I know they'll be the first to welcome me
When I parachute into eternity, oh, oh
And the rain beat down on the rooftops
But there was no sound, there was no sound
And all my friends and family carried me
They carried me home, they carried me home
Ingrid Michaelson - The Chain
So glide away on soapy heels
And promise not to promise anymore
And if you come around again
Then I will take, then I will take
The chain from off the door
I'll never say that I'll never love,
Oh, but I don't say a lot of things,
And you my love are gone

The Bluetones - Keep the Home Fires Burning
Can I stay at your house?
I'll sleep on the floor.
My home is a war-zone, I've no stomach for more.
You can't hold a candle to what I saw today.
More than I can handle, so I'm running away.
Home fires burn, scorching a hole through me.
And I am welcome no more.
Emmy the Great - Dylan
up above your parents' roof
I saw no star tonight,
Only the black from whence you came,
And where they'll send you back again,
And no blue plaque will keep your name
From falling out of sight.
And you can wage this war of one,
And I am still the only one
Who will remember you when you are gone.
She & Him - Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want
Good times for a change
See the luck I've had
Could make a good man turn bad
So please, please, please
Let me, let me, let me
Get what I want this time
Snow Patrol - You're All I Have
Strain this chaos turn it into light
I've got to see you one last night
Before the lions take their share
Leave us in pieces, scattered everywhere
Just give me a chance to hold on
Kate Nash - I'm Not Going to Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance With You
Word's on the streets and it's all out too
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance with you
He's got two left feet and he bangs my mood
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance! dance! dance! dance!
The second I do, I know that we'll be through
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance with you
Ellie Goulding - Salt Skin
For all of the times that I lost my head
When it rolled to the floor and I found it again
But when it came back,
I didn't know my own name
Cee Lo Green - Forget You
I see you driving 'round town
With the girl I love and I'm like,
forget you,
Oo, oo, ooo
I guess the change in my pocket
Wasn't enough I'm like,
Forget you,
And forget her too!
the moral of the story is i have more music about people's lives falling apart than i do about clingy neurotics oops.
Also Adam has put so much Bluetones and Athlete on my computer holy shit.
