(The Corleone Siblings)
01. Children's Work - Dessa
But I’ve learned how to paint my face
How to earn my keep
How to clean my kill
Some nights I still can’t sleep
The past rolls back, I can see us still
You’ve learned how to hold your own
How to stack your stones
But history’s thick
(Michael)
02. Little Brother - Grizzly Bear
Wide-eyed and up in arms
My little brother was a solemn one
He always had his quiet corner
Pride of my countrymen
My little brother will be born again
(Sonny -> Tom)
03. Little Shadow - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Patience, shadow
While you’re sick, there’s no sight to see
Little shadow, little shadow
To the night, will you follow me?
(Tom -> Sonny)
04. An Animal in Your Care - Wolf Parade
I fell for crime and I fell for beauty
I fell for you because you’re the one that cared
You let me hang around
It’s in this language that I’ve found
I am an animal in your care
(The War Begins)
05. Brother - The Organ
We are warm and we are safe
Enjoy it while you can before things change
We have got to take cover, brother
Oh, where does it end?
Sometimes it hurts when you care about me
But it’s going to hurt more when
They take you away from me
(Fredo, Michael -> Vito)
06. There Goes Our Man - Midnight Masses
Got so much to say to you, father
Yesterday just wasn’t the time
As you lay there in your deathbed
Sometimes I feel I’m lying in mine
(Sonny -> Connie)
07. Delilah - The Dresden Dolls
You’re just a sucker for the ones who use you
And it doesn’t matter what I say or do
The stupid bastard’s gonna have his way with you
At four o’ clock he got off and you called up
“I’m down at Denny’s on route one
And you won’t guess what he’s done”
You are impossible, Delilah, the princess of denial
So don’t cry, Delilah, you’re still alive, Delilah
(Sonny)
08. Vengeance is Sleeping - Neko Case
I didn’t know what a brute I was
I dipped my cigarette and rode the bus
Vengeance built me hastily
And I dragged the clanging ocean
I was nobody, nobody
(Vito, Tom -> Sonny)
09. No Need to Argue - The Cranberries
I knew
I knew I’d lose you
(Tom, Michael -> Sonny)
10. Older Brother - Pepper Rabbit
Save some space for me
And say hello to your dad
I will look after your sister I swear
I’ll write her when she’s lonely
And send it off in the air
I will keep her safe, until I’m dead
I will hold your memory close to my chest
(War between the Five Families)
11. Monster Hospital (Acoustic) - Metric
And he beat him hands down
Lead in his head
Put a little lead in his head
I fought the war, I fought the war
But the war won
I fought the war, I fought the war
But the war won’t stop for the love of god
(Michael becomes the Don)
12. Roman Blue - Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi
Instrumental
(Tom, Michael)
13. The Wondersmith and His Sons - Astronautalis
Father was a charming man with much hidden up his sleeve
I wonder if this is what he planned when he taught his tricks to me
Pour another round on me
You know I’m good for it, you know me
You know I’m good for it, you know my family
(Connie)
14. Girls Just Want to Have Fun - Greg Laswell
The phone rings in the middle of the night
My mother says when you gonna live your life right
Well, mother dear, we’re not the fortunate ones
Oh, girls, they want to have fun
Some boys take a beautiful girl
Oh, and they hide her away from the rest of the world
Well, not me, I want to be the one in the sun
(Michael -> Fredo)
15. Brother - Murder by Death
We went home to see our folks
We laughed and we told jokes
It was like we were young again
On that deathbed our mother lay
How long she’s got they still can’t say
It took all this to get us back together again
How long is this gonna last
You can’t keep reliving your past
Screwing over the ones that you love
In the name of some new drug
(Michael -> Fredo)
16. Brother's Blood - Kevin Devine
My brother’s blood boils in my arms
It balls my fingers into fists
It bubbles, blisters, burns my palms
It floods with fury, fights, and fits
It’s got the good guy in me hiding
It kicks my humble heart around
Spit and scream, what’s done is done
Go make your peace with everyone
They don’t need to know about my brother’s blood
(Fredo)
17. Spanish Sahara - Foals
Now the waves they drag you down
Carry you to broken ground
Though I’ll find you in the sand
Wipe you clean with dirty hands
Forget the horror here, forget the horror here
Leave it all down here
It’s future rust and it’s future dust
I’m the fury in your head, I’m the fury in your bed
I’m the ghost in the back of your head
(Vito, Michael)
18. Shiola - Murder by Death
I tell him ‘son, never throw the first punch
And if you must fight, make it clean’
The taste of home is filling up my mouth
Is it wrong to love a family of ghosts?
I have to believe that all will be forgiven
Shiola, shiola, will all be forgiven?
Shiola, shiola, am I strong enough to start again alone?
(Connie -> Michael)
19. Call and Answer - Barenaked Ladies
I think it’s getting to the point
Where we have almost made amends
I think it’s getting to that point
That is the hardest part
So if you call, I will answer
And if you fall, I’ll pick you up
And if you court this disaster
I’ll point you home
