Lolita - Throw Me the Statue

Lolita, I gotta see ya
I got a fire when she pulls me in
Those young girls love automatic
I want to make you lose your brain
For all I know

Come on over and she’s pulling at my shirt
Like she’s telling me to stay
Well, take a look over here
C’mon, I got the bullets in my head
And she asks me why I care

Shakin’ off the dusty cape
Lacin’ it up again
‘Cause she used to love it
So I bury my shame
She was nineteen and we all rearrange

We could do it all and it’d all go faster
Things could multiply at appalling rates
Then we’d lose our heads
And we’d still go faster
Even on our birthdays

Every night I pray
She comes around my house to stay
And every night I pray
She comes around my house to stay

The hunger has not receded
Those little moments when it wraps my head
The feeblest offers are taking it off
‘Cause with all my heart in with blood

Shakin’ off the dusty cape
Loosen it up again
‘Cause she used to love it
So I bury my shame
She was nineteen and we all rearrange

Alright, we could it all and it’d all go faster
Things could multiply at appalling rates
Then we’d lose our heads
And we’d still go faster
Even on our birthdays

Every night I pray
She comes around my house to stay
And every night I pray
She comes around my house to stay

The Beginning of the Twist - The Futureheads

It's time to wake up
It's time to change
Let's get it started
I feel like there's so much to rearrange
Come on, I need your help with this
Why don't we get it started with a kiss?

If memory serves
Then why am I still waiting for it to return?
My head feels like it's just about to slip
This morning is just a blur
Today lingers on like a bad year

I can feel it
I conceal it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist

I can feel it
I conceal it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist

I can feel it
I conceal it...
Beginning of the twist

I can feel it
I conceal it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist

We get along well
We talk a lot
I made some promises, I guess that I totally forgot
Forgive me, my mind is (?)
Feels like somebody's thrown it down the stairs

It's not good enough
(I've heard these same excuses before)
I thought you knew enough about it
But you still want more
Today I don't feel so ill
If only I could find the time, I want to kill

I can feel it
I conceal it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist

I can feel it
I conceal it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist

I can feel it
I conceal it...
Beginning of the twist

I can feel it
I conceal it
I can feel it coming, the beginning of the twist

Shut Up and Let Me Go - The Tings Tings

Shut up and let me go
This hurts, I tell you so
For the last time you will kiss my lips
Now Shut up and let me go
Your jeans were once so clean
I bet you changed your wardrobe since we met

Now oh so easily your over me
Gone is love
It's you that ought to be holding me
I'm not containable
This turns up
it's not sustainable

I ain't freakin'
I ain't Fakin' this
I ain't freakin̢۪
I ain't Fakin' this
I ain't freakin'
I ain't Fakin' this
Shut up and let me go
Hey!

Shut up and let me go
This hurts, but I can't show
for the last time you had me in bits
Now Shut up and let me go!
For fear of leaving in regret
I changed this one when we first met

Now oh so easily your over me
Gone is love
It's me that ought to be moving on
You're not adorable
I was something unignorable.

I ain't freakin'
I ain't Fakin' this
I ain't freakin̢۪
I ain't Fakin' this
I ain't freakin'
I ain't Fakin' this
Shut up and let me go
Hey!

Oh love, hold this.
hey

Shut up and let me go
This hurts, I told you so
For the last time you will kiss my lips
Now Shut up and let me go
Hey!

Level - The Raconteurs

My baby's on the level
And I try to read her mind
She's on the straight and narrow
I'm guessin' all the time

And I can see the road
If I'm lookin' at the signs
I'm carryin' the load
And steppin' outta line

Radio Heart - The Futureheads

I've been waiting by the radio for someone like you
But the people that are calling in today are few and far between
You were listening
Their word are .. the syllables slow
But ever day I have to call into this show
Last week I decided to give it a go
I caght your ear when I said
"I'm a man who sits at his desk
So I guess I've got nothing to lose at this request
I want a girl who doesn't like to dress to impress
A girl with a radio heart
A girl with a radio heart
We've never met but we've never been apart
A girl with a radio heart"
I took a risk and gambled on a voice I didn't know
Turned up my lonely radio
I leave my job, sell what I own
For someone who knows what the radio knows
Expose what the radio knows
I've been waiting by the radio for so long
Then you tuned in, not listening
Then I caught your ear when I said

The Start of Something - Voxtrot

This time of night I could call you up
I'd get angry with athletic ease, break common laws in twos and threes
If I die clutching your photograph
Don't call me boring, It's just 'cause I like you
Take me on back... take me back
To the place where I could feel your heart
Is this the end or just the start of
Something really, really beautiful
Wrapped up and disguised as something really, really ugly,

Won't you...

Come by and see me, I'm a love letter away
I'd break your name before I'd say, "I really love you, love you, "
I don't care if you saw, I watched every inch of film
Flash across your Roman features,
And I loved it, loved it; I don't care if

You think I'm eager to shut your eyes, well
I'm sorry-everybody knows you can't break me with your gutter prose
Would you believe it, she sent me a letter,
The ring, it nearly weighs her down, she's got another boy, oh boy
Steady your ears... read my lips
Poetry is not a luxury, it's how I'll break this home
And when I'm really ill, won't you cradle me?
Man is not a noble animal, but maybe woman is, remember,

I heard you...

Inside your room, you said, "You never really live
Until your back's against the wall, " oh did you really mean it?
I never break my gaze, if just to see this scar remain reflected in your eyes
I think it's time to go home

GUITAR SOLO

Oh, tell me your thoughts, tell me your thoughts on liberty,
See there's a place where I sink to sleeping
Oh, my vote is as red as my blood
Will you join me for another round? I haven't had the chance to speak yet

God speed...

I break the law once every week to feel your touch,
What's a book to you in bed, Do you feel better, older?
This just makes me ill, your name is dripping from my pen
Still you're not around to curse,
I'll drop the gun now, I'm still under you...
