Built To Spill - Randy Described Eternity

Every thousand years

This metal sphere

Ten times the size of Jupiter

Floats just a few yards past the earth

You climb on your roof

And take a swipe at it

With a single feather

Hit it once every thousand years

'Til you've worn it down

To the size of a pea

Yeah I'd say that's a long time

But it's only half a blink

In the place you're gonna be

Where you gonna be

Where will you spend eternity

I'm gonna be perfect from now on

I'm gonna be perfect starting now

Stop making that sound

Stop making that sound

I will say I forgot it

But it was only yesterday

And it's all you had to say

Pavement - Plataform Blues

(One, two, three, four.)

Cardiac kid

Kinda like it, kinda like it

Cardiac kid, don't go

Chronological on all your friends

First you'll cause accidents

Raise the roof, make us tense

Follow through to the ends

And we'll rip the heart out from the defense

The lion reaps his own reward

Serengeti nightmare for the echo tour

You're a nice guy and I hate you for that

Thanks to people like you I'm no longer that

Mandrake versus the snake

I got it on the camera for posterity

But my stolen wild orchids got cut

See those Sherpas chirpin' from the autobus

It's got the right to sit on that face

Well, it was put here for me because I am great

I've got the right to sit on that face

Everybody look at me and my wonderful place

Patty, Patty, Patty, you're so catty

And it's not fair because I like to doody-doddy-do

Catty, catty, catty, you're so Patty

And it's unfair because I like to doody-doddy-do with you

It's unfair 'cause I like to doody-doddy-doody-da with you

Di-da-di-doody-da with you

David Lynch - The Answers to The Questions

And now

There was a feeling

A feeling of falling

She felt she would never find the answer

The answer to the questions

The questions she asked him

When he was here

She thought they had a bond

An unshakable bond

But was it too good to be true...

She fell into a dark dream of despair

Oh

Dark clouds roiling above in a dark wind

But then she saw him

She saw him in light

She saw him in love...

Yo La Tengo - Everyday

I want summer's sad songs behind me

I want a laugh a minute without fail

Wanna be Paul Le Mat in 1980

Looking to forget tomorrow, looking every day

I wanna see you put your hands together

I wanna cross my heart, I wanna hope to die

I hear Kate Moss talk, she talks to me

She's looking for a new beginning every day

When Monday comes, I want nothing

Come Tuesday morning, I want the same

(Everyday) The days and nights

(Everyday) fly by

(Everyday) looking to embrace the nothing of the everyday

(Everyday) looking to embrace the nothing of the everyday

(Everyday) looking to embrace the nothing of the everyday

Everyday, everyday

Everyday, everyday

Everyday

(Everyday) everyday

(Everyday) everyday

(Everyday) everyday

Wop-wop, shoo-wop

(Everyday) wop-wop, shoo-wop

(Everyday) wop-wop, shoo-wop

(Everyday) wop-wop, shoo-wop

(Everyday) wop-wop, shoo-wop

(Everyday) wop-wop, shoo-wop

Wop-wop, shoo-wop

Wop-wop, shoo-wop

Stina Nordenstam - I Came So Far For Beauty

I came so far for beauty

I left so much behind

My patience and my family

My masterpiece unsigned

I thought I'd be rewarded

For such a lonely choice

And surely she would answer

To such a very hopeless voice

I practiced all my sainthood

I gave to one and all

But the rumours of my virtue

They moved her not at all

I changed my style to silver

I changed my clothes to black

And where I would surrender

Now I would attack

I stormed the old casino

For the money and the flesh

And I myself decided

What was rotten and what was fresh

And men to do my bidding

And broken bones to teach

The value of my pardon

The shadow of my reach

But no, I could not touch her

With such a heavy hand

Her star beyond my order

Her nakedness unmanned

Stina Nordenstam - Get On With Your Life

They put a needle once in my spine

It took them so long to find it

I can't get this pornfilm out of my head

Let's get on with it

It is banging inside

It is singing aloud

Get on with your life

All over the world they get out of bed

Love dies every second

I can't get this creature out of my way

Killing it is not an option

It is biting your nails

So as not to scratch

Get on with your life

It is counting aloud

'Til the battery dies

Get on with your life

And I try to get up and I try to move but

This thing won't let me

It's heavy as a man's body on you

And it's this close to get me

It is banging inside

It is singing aloud

Get on with your life

'Til the battery dies

'Til the battery dies

Get on with your life
