new soundtrack to a new life

okay let me start by saying its 1:43 (which has all kinds of recent significance). this was posted to me by sami.... and although i did it a long time ago, i was wasting time online and figured i might as well do it again. new ipod. new city. new life.
(p.s. so many of the tracks were listed as "track" or i wasn't familiar, so i ended up looking up many lyrics. quite pertinent. so i've decided to blog the lyrics to those tracks which have them..... <*note*: i think it's really interesting where all the instrumentals came in>)
anywhooooo.... i left it up to the shuffle and here's what i came up with:

Opening Credits: Not Dead Yet, the Weepies

It's hard to say what you mean to me
Everyone is scenery
So you take a late night drive alone
Trying to get home

Oh come on, come on, come on
Give me a sign of life
'Cause there's another way that I'd rather be
If I could only get you alone
It's an inside joke that I never get
And I'm dying inside but I'm not dead yet

Everyone is beautiful, traffic like a funeral
And everybody tries to keep in touch
Through the radio

Oh come on, come on, come on
Give me a sign of life
'Cause there's another way that I'd rather be
If I could only get you alone
It's an inside joke that I never get
And I'm dying inside but I'm not dead yet

I guess you'd say you still are mine
Never mind the years of waste time
I'll see you much later on
After everybody else is gone

Wasted on a Saturday, join the Great Majority
With all the ways I tried to keep in touch
That you will never know

Oh come on, come on, come on
Give me a sign of life
'Cause there's another way that I'd rather be
If I could only get you alone
It's an inside joke that I never get
And I'm dying inside but I'm not dead yet


First Day at School: Fool, Neutral Milk Hotel
(instrumental)

Falling in Love: Rorol, The Octopus Project
(instrumental)

Fight Song: Please Be Patient With Me, Wilco

I should warn you
When I'm not well
I can't tell
Oh, there's nothing I can do
To make this easier for you

You're gonna need to be patient with me

I'm this apple, this happening stone
When I'm alone
Oh, but my blessings get so blurred
At the sound of your words

I'm gonna need you to be patient with me

How can I warn you when my tongue turns to dust
Like we've discussed
It doesn't mean that I don't care
It means I'm partially there

You're gonna need to be patient with me


Break Up: Sunrise, Yeasayer

It all started with a stumble
And I get old and I get humble
The sky cracked a million ways
Making me blind

And as the trees grew higher and higher
And the fish began to fly
I went and stole some wings
And thought why can't I

Get in the sunrise
I want to get in the sunrise

Put the world upon your shoulder
I'll stay young while I watch everyone getting older
You can take a million years
Out of my head

But I'm starting to lose my place
In the circles that I trace
And if I let go only then
Will my face

Get in the sunrise
I want to get in the sunrise


Prom: She's Fine, Christie Lenee
(forgive me if some of these are wrong. listening and typing the words as i go)

she exists in a haze
crawling through her mind's maze
trying to break the barriers
she doesn't know how she got in here
hopin' for an exit line around the corner
next light, around the corner
she feels like backing up
wheelin' her legs
like a roadrunners coyote
bustin' through the walls
under the shadows of cold stone stairways
she's painting a white door
she's looking inside, inside herself
she's looking inside, inside herself
and she finds
she finds, she finds, she finds
she doesn't know she finds
she finds, she finds
the woman is lost, she finds
she finds, she finds....

she's been a multi-roled actress
playing parts of other characters
its like she's always on stage
and i don't know which play i'm watching anymore
but she's a one woman show
and i've seen this developing story
i've seen it grow
and she's grown
she's grown, she's grown, she's grown
into something she doesn't know
she's grown, she grows, she grows......

and i'm her guide
like virgil in dante's inferno
and i'm here
to hold out my hand
'cause she's lost and needs a little direction
to find herself
to find herself in the light.....

she's looking inside, inside herself
she finds, she finds, she finds
herself in the light she finds
she finds, she finds, she finds
hope in love she finds
the inspirtation, she finds
she's fine, she's fine...
she's fine....


Life: Pig, Dave Matthews Band

Oh, isn't it strange
How we move our lives for another day?
Like skipping a beat
What if a great wave should wash us all away?
Just thinking out loud
Don't mean to dwell on this dying thing
But look at my blood
It's alive right now,
And deep and sweet within
Pouring through our veins
Intoxicate moving wine to tears
And drinking it deep
Then an evening spent dancing
It's you and me...

This love will open our world
From the dark side we can see a glow of something bright
Oh, there's much more than we see here
Don't burn the day away

Is this not enough?
This blessed sip of life,
Is it not enough?
Staring down at the ground
Oh, then complain and pray for more from above,
You greedy little pig
Stop, just watch your world trickle away
Oh, it's your problem now
It'll all be dead and gone in a few short years

Just love will open our eyes
Just love will put the hope back in our minds
Much more than we could ever know
Oh, so don't burn the day away
Don't burn the day away

Come sister, my brother
Shake up your bones, shake up your feet
I'm saying open up
And let the rain come pouring in
Wash out this tired notion
That the best is yet to come
But while you're dancing on the ground
Don't think of when you're gone

Love, love, love, what more is there?
'Cause we need the light of love in here
Don't beat your head
Dry your eyes
Let the love in there
There's bad times
But that's okay
Just look for love in it

And don't burn the day away...

Look, here are we
On this starry night, staring into space
And I must say
I feel as small as dust lying down here

What point could there be troubling?
Head down wondering what will become of me?
Why concern "WHAT" we cannot see
But no reason to abandon it
The time is short but that's all right
Maybe I'll go in the middle of the night
Take your hands from your eyes, my love
All good things must come to an end some time
But don't burn the day away
Don't burn the day away...

Come sister, my brother
Shake up your bones, shake up your feet
I'm saying open up
And let the rain come flooding in
Wash out this tired notion
That the best is yet to come
But while you're dancing on the ground
Don't think of when you're gone

Love, love, love, what more is there?
'Cause we need the light of love in here
Don't beat your head
Dry your eyes
Let the love in there
There're bad times
But that's okay
Just look for love in it


Mental Breakdown: In and Out, Feist

Baby, I can't figure it out
Your kisses taste like honey
Sweet lies don't gimme no rise up
Fool, what you're trying to do

Livin' on your cheatin'
and the pain grows inside me
It's enough to leave me crying in the rain
Love you forever but you're driving me insane
And I'm hanging on
Oh, oh, oh, oh

I'll wait, I'll never give in
Our love has got the power
Too many lovers in one lifetime
Ain't good for you
You treat me like a vision in the night
Someone there to stand behind you
When your world ain't working right
I ain't no vision, I'm the girl
who loves you inside and out
Backwards and forwards with my heart hanging out
I love no other way
What are we gonna do if we lose that fire?

Wrap myself up and take me home again
Too many heartaches in one lifetime ain't good for me
You figure it's the love that keeps you warm
Let this moment be forever
We won't ever feel the storm
I ain't no vision, I'm the girl
Who loves you inside and out
Backwards and forwards with my heart hanging out
I love no other way
What are we gonna do if we lose that fire?

Don't try to tell me that it's over
I can't hear a word I can't hear a line
No girl could love you more
And that's what I'm cryin' for
You can't change the way I feel inside

You're the reason for my laughter and my sorrow
Blow out the candle I will burn again tomorrow
No man on earth can stand between my loving arms
And no matter how you hurt me, I will love you till I die

I ain't no vision, I'm the girl
Who loves you inside and out
Backwards and forwards with my heart hanging out
I love no other way
What are we gonna do if we lose that fire?

Loves you inside and out
Backwards and forwards with my heart hanging out
I love no other way
What are we gonna do if we lose that fire


Driving: Do, The White Stripes

well somebody walked up to me
but i didn't know what to do
and then somebody said hello to me
but i didn't know what to do
because i think that my words could get
twisted so i bend my back over take a
gulp be funny cause i know there's nothing i can do

then my mother tried to pick me up
when i was sittin' down on the ground
something forced my little eyes come open
but i couldn't make out the sound
it doesn't matter cause my eyes are lying
and they don't have emotion
don't wanna be social, can't take it when they hate me
but i know there's nothing i can do

when my thoughts start to feel like mine
they're taken from me it seems to happen every time
and the feelings that are fine for you
there's somebody there
who doesn't think they are true
so think of something new
there's nothing left to do

and then my idols walk next to me
i look up at them they fade away
it's a destruction of a mystery
the more i listen to what they say
so does that mean that there's no more doin'
and there's no more thinkin'
and there's no more feeling
cause there's no right opinion
so can you tell me what i'm supposed to do



Flashback: You are My Love, Motet does Jamiroquai

Oh, let me tell you a little story about a heartbreaker.
Honey, I don't know why you treat me so bad,
Well I tried so hard to make you see it my way,
Just think of all the good times we had.
But still you only ever want to fight with me.

We got to split apart before we kill
And start to put our minds together
We got to change this hell for leather world
And I will find myself another girl.
We got to put our weapons down.
And spread a little love around.

You know
You are my love
You are my love
Oh, yes you are
You are my love
You are my love

Ain't you the girl who did me wrong behind my back
And tried to keep me double booked
We never seem to cross the tracks
And there's so much that you over-looked about me girl,
Remember, sat down pretty on the windowsill,
And made me swallow on your bitter pill,
You thought the grass was greener over there,
While serpents snaked around your hair,
So pour a vitriolic coffee cup
And use your blackened heart to fill it up,
Well, now honey we got to put our weapons down
And spread a little love around.

You know
You are my love
You are my love
Oh, yes you are
You are my love
Yes you are
You are my love
You are my love
I want you girl
I need you so
Now we know that
It's no secret
You are my love
You are my world
Light my shwdows
Fill the heavens with stars

You are my love
You are my love
You are my lover
I need you
I want you
Don't let me go
I need you so
Don't let me go
I need you so
Don't let me go
I need you so


Getting Back Together: Part One of The Cowboy Trilogy, Sean Lennon

She left me just the other night
Came back the very next day
I decided to drink some wine
Cause I couldn't get my way
Oh I said I'm gonna leave
But I guess I'm gonna stay

If I was a rooster
I would cockadoodle all day
If I was an eagle
I would try to fly away
Oh I said I'm gonna leave
But I guess I'm gonna stay

How come you never know
What it is I'm trying to say?
How come it's freezing cold
When we're in the month of May?
Oh I said I'm gonna leave
But I guess I'm gonna stay


Wedding: When I Come Back Around, Jamie Lidell

Long days and lonely nights
Makes the morning seem so bright
But when my feet they hit the ground
I know that I'm safe and sound

My foolish acts I don't have to be
More than just a memory
When I come on back around
It's the new me coming through, I feel

When I come back around
Wake up and look all around
When I come back around
Wake up and look all around
When I come back around
Wake up and look all around
When I come back around
Wake up and look all around

Don't ask me why I do that stuff
Take it too far it's never enough
Spiraling self loathing styles
Hanging out
With audiophiles
But when I start to wake
From the hypnogagic state
Feel that I can see the light
Come on up from day to night

When I come back around
Wake up and look all around
When I come back around
Wake up and look all around
When I come back around
Wake up and look all around
When I come back around
Wake up and look all around

But when I start to wake
From the hypnogogic state
Feel that I can see the light
Come on up from day to night

When I come back around
Wake up and look all around
When I come back around
Wake up and look all around
When I come back around
Wake up and look all around


Birth of Child: Fancy Claps, Wolf Parade

I'll be home
When hair has fallen out
We'll be home
When it reaches the ground
We'll be home
We'll be home
Then

We can sing
Two cracks in the crossbeams
We can sing
Very, very quietly
We can sing
We can sing for each other

Until then don't tear your hair out
I won't tear it out if you don't

When I die, I'm leaving you my feet
When you die, you can stand up for me
We can lie in a homemade canoe
You can put me in your hair
I'll be happy there

oh oh
oh oh
oh oh

We'll be home
When my hair has fallen out
We'll be home
When we've picked it up off the ground
We'll be home then
We'll be home then
We can sing and
We'll be home then

Death Scene: [Untitled],Akron Family

as time slowly goes by
there's never a next time
there's only a this time

this time around

as time slowly goes by
there's a never a next time

this time around
this time around
this, this time around


Funeral Song: The People of the Secret, The Helio Sequence

Twenty years of living underground
Twenty years of living in the books
Well see the sun and drink the light of day
We used to be the people of the secret
But the secret is out now

Sugar dreams from bitter brains uh huh
Saccharine words from twisted tongues oh no
Well turn my back on everything larger than life
We used to be the people of the secret
But the secret is out now

Rain rain gone away
Wake up now to a brand new day
Pain pain washed away
Pave the way for a brand new day

Twenty years of living underground
Twenty years of living in the books
Turn my back on everything larger than life
We used to be the people of the secret
But the secret is out now

I'm not there
You're nowhere
We don't care about the other ones

I don't want to say we don't care

There's too many people talkin' 'bout nonsense
A dollar for your pleasure a slogan for obedience
There are so many ways they catch you in the bind
A dollar for your pleasure a dollar for your mind

Rain rain gone away
Wake up now to a brand new day
Pain pain washed away
Pave the way for a brand new day

Turn my back on everything larger than life
I don't want to turn my back on everything larger than life
