Owl City - Fireflies




You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep

'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude
But I would just stand and stare

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems

'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance

A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep

Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell

But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams

Goldfrapp - Let It Take You

'Just........let it take you.....'
W x




They sail light, ocean

Sail this night, ocean
Filling my sleep so gently
Just let it take you
Just let it steer
They sail light, ocean
Sail this night, ocean
Shimmer like gold,
They're singing
Filling my sleep so gently
Just let it take you
Just let it steer
Just let it take you
This is easy

Monday

Peter Gabriel - That'll Do.

'Thanks be for pigs.'
W x





A kind and steady heart can make a grey sky blue,

And a task that seems impossible, is quite possible for you.
A kind and steady heart, is sure to see you through.
It may not seem like very much right now,
It'll do, it'll do.
When you find yourself in the middle of a storm,
And you're tired and cold and wet,
And you're looking for a place that's cozy and warm,
You'll make it; you can never forget!
A kind and steady heart, can conquer doubt and fear.
A little courage goes a long, long way,
Gets you a little bit farther down the road each day,
And before you know it, you'll hear someone say,
"That'll do, Babe, that'll do."
A kind and steady heart, is sure to see you through.
A little courage goes a long, long way,
Gets you a little bit farther down the road each day,
And before you know it, you'll hear someone say,
"That'll do, that'll do, that'll do, Babe, that'll do 

Sunday

Kandi - One Eskimo

'Just one of many good songs from this group of talented fellows.'
Wx






You've been my queen for longer than you know

My love for you has been
Everything step I take
Every day I live
Everything I see
And if I get things wrong
Don't want you to think I'm running away
But I heard from Jo about this guy And I want to know
What did he say?
He called me baby, baby all night long
What did he do?
He called me baby, baby all night long
Why? Why? Why, did you need him?
Where was I?
Just how close to you is he?
Every smile you gave
Every touch you made
Every word you said
And it hurts beyond hurt
It was a love that blinds
And a love that stings
When I heard from Jo about this guy
And I want to know
What did he say?
He called me baby, baby all night long
What did he do?
He called me baby, baby all night long
What did he do?
He called you baby, baby all night long
What did he do?
He called me baby, baby all night long
What did he say?
He called me baby, baby, all night long
What did he do?
He called you baby, baby, all night long
I know he called you babe
All night long

A1 - She Doesn't See Me

'A really lovely song I have known for sometime and, though not the official video, a very nice picture montage.'
W x





When she passes me by, she's a ray of light

Like the first drop of sun from the sky
And I know she's a Queen, who deserves a king
But I'm not a King
And she doesn't see me
When she dances she moves me to a smile
I see everything near her shine
There is a grace in her ways I can't contain
I don't have that grace
So she doesn't see me
and the closer I get I can't help but hide
so ashamed of my body and voice
There are boundaries we pass in spite of the war
but our own, we can't seem to cross
he has a way that surrounds him, so delicate
with a glory that reigns in his life
He is all so so much that he is not
but these things they don't see
and she doesn't see me
there are things we can change if we just choose to fight
but the walls of injustice are high
when she passes me by, she's a ray of light
Like the first drop of sun from the sky
and I know she's a queen who deserves a king
someone other than me
different from me
she doesn't see me
she doesn't see me

Katie Melua - When You Taught Me How To Dance

'This takes me back to life in Nethershire...sigh. 'Cold winds blow, but up on those hills you'll find me, and I know you're walking right behind me....' Enjoy. '
W x






When you taught me how to dance
Years ago, with misty eyes,

Every step and silent glance,
Every move, a sweet surprise.
Someone must have taught you well,
To beguile and to entrance,
For that night you cast your spell,
And you taught me how to dance.


Like reflections in a lake
I recall what went before.
As I give, I’ll learn to take,
And will be alone no more
Other lights may light my way
I may even find romance;
But I won’t forget that night
When you taught me how to dance


Cold winds blow, but up on those hills you’ll find me
And I know you’re walking right behind me,


When you taught me how to dance
Years ago, with misty eyes,
Every step and silent glance,
Every move, a sweet surprise.
Someone must have taught you well,
To beguile and to entrance,
For that night you cast your spell,
And you taught me how to dance.
And you taught me how to dance.

Melee - 'Built to Last'

'It warms the inside just like it should....'
W x







I've looked for love in stranger places,

but never found someone like you.
Someone whose smile makes me feel I've been holding back,
and now there's nothing I can't do.

'Cause this is real, and this is good.
It warms the inside just like it should,
but most of all it's built to last.


All of our friends saw from the start.
So why didn't we believe it too?
Whoa yeah, now look where we are.
You're in my heart now.
And there's no escaping it for you.


'Cause this is real, and this is good.
It warms the inside just like it should,
but most of all it's built to last.


Walking on the hills that night with those fireworks and candlelight
You and I were made to get love right


'Cause this is real, and this is good.
It warms the inside just like it should,
but most of all it's built to last.


'Cause you are the sun in my universe,
considered the best when we've felt the worst
and most of all it's built to last.
