Lyrics of the Week + Video / JACKSON 5 - I WANT YOU BACK



Uh-huh huh huhhh
Let me tell ya now
Uh-huh
(Mmhhmmm)

When I had you to myself, I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd
But someone picked you from the bunch, one glance was all it took
Now it's much too late for me to take a second look

Oh baby, give me one more chance
(To show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me back in your heart
Oh darlin', I was blind to let you go
(Let you go, baby)
But now since I see you in his arms
(I want you back)
Yes I do now
(I want you back)
Ooh ooh baby
(I want you back)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
(I want you back)
Na na na na

Trying to live without your love is one long sleepless night
Let me show you, girl, that I know wrong from right
Every street you walk on, I leave tear stains on the ground
Following the girl I didn't even want around

Let me tell ya now
Oh baby, all I need is one more chance
(To show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me back in your heart
Oh darlin', I was blind to let you go
(Let you go, baby)
But now since I see you in his arms

All I want...
All I need...
All I want!
All I need!

Oh, just one more chance
To show you that I love you
Baby baby baby baby baby baby!
(I want you back)
Forget what happened then
(I want you back)
And let me live again!

Oh baby, I was blind to let you go
But now since I see you in his arms
(I want you back)
Spare me of this cause
(I want you back)
Give me back what I lost!

Oh baby, I need one more chance, hah
I tell you that I love you
Baby, oh! Baby, oh! Baby, oh!
I want you back!
I want you back!

Lyrics of the Week + Video / BUSH - GLYCERINE



It must be your skin I'm sinking in
It must be for real 'cause now I can feel
And I didn't mind
It's not my kind
It's not my time to wonder why

Everything's gone white
And everything's gray
Now you're here now you're away
I don't want this
Remember that
I'll never forget where you're at

Don't let the days go by

Glycerine
Glycerine

I'm never alone
I'm alone all the time
Are you at one or do you lie?
We live in a wheel
Where everyone steals
But when we rise it's like strawberry fields

If I treated you bad
You bruised my face
Couldn't love you more
You got a beautiful taste

Don't let the days go by

Could have been easier on you
I couldn't change though I wanted to
Should have been easier by three
Our old friend fear and you and me

Glycerine
Glycerine

Don't let the days go by

Glycerine

Don't let the days go by

Glycerine
Glycerine

Glycerine
Glycerine

Black moon white again
Black moon white again
And she falls around me

I needed you more
When we wanted us less
I could not kiss just regress
It might just be
Clear simple and plain
Well, that's just fine
That's just one of my names

Don't let the days go by
Could've been easier on you, you, you

Glycerine
Glycerine

Glycerine
Glycerine

Lyrics of the Week + Video / CLASH - ROCK THE CASBAH



Now the king told the boogie men
You have to let that raga drop
The oil down the desert way
Has been shakin' to the top
The sheik he drove his Cadillac
He went a' cruisnin' down the ville
The muezzin was a' standing
On the radiator grille

The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah

By order of the prophet
We ban that boogie sound
Degenerate the faithful
With that crazy Casbah sound
But the Bedouin they brought out
The electric camel drum
The local guitar picker
Got his guitar picking thumb
As soon as the shareef
Had cleared the square
They began to wail

The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah

Now over at the temple
Oh! They really pack 'em in
The in crowd say it's cool
To dig this chanting thing
But as the wind changed direction
The temple band took five
The crowd caught a wiff
Of that crazy Casbah jive

The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah

The king called up his jet fighters
He said you better earn your pay
Drop your bombs between the minarets
Down the Casbah way

As soon as the shareef was
Chauffeured outta there
The jet pilots tuned to
The cockpit radio blare

As soon as the shareef was
Outta their hair
The jet pilots wailed

The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah

He thinks it's not kosher
Fundamentally he can't take it.
You know he really hates it.

Lyrics of the Week + Video / FROU FROU - LET GO



Drink up baby doll
Are you in or are you out?
Leave your things behind
'Cause it's all going off without you
Excuse me too busy you're writing your tragedy
These mishaps
You bubble-wrap
When you've no idea what you're like

So, let go, let go
Jump in
Oh well, what you waiting for?
It's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
So, let go, let go
Just get in
Oh, it's so amazing here
It's all right
'cause there's beauty in the breakdown

It gains the more it gives
And then it rises with the fall
So hand me that remote
Can't you see that all that stuff's a sideshow?
Such boundless pleasure
We've no time for later
Now you can't await
your own arrival
you've twenty seconds to comply

So, let go, so let go
Jump in
Oh well, what you waiting for?
It's alright
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
So, let go, yeah let go
Just get in
Oh, it's so amazing here
It's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown

So, let go,
Jump in
Oh well, what you waiting for?
It's alright
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
So, let go, yeah let go
Just get in
Oh, it's so amazing here
It's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown

In the breakdown
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
The breakdown

So amazing here
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown

Lyrics of the Week + Video / FUNERAL SUITS - ALL THOSE FRIENDLY PEOPLE



Count back anecitize
Colours burnt into my eyes
Life for you is shades of grey
Help me help me
Find my way
Lost Lost
Is never found
Hide your secrets
Settle down
I am young and I am naïve
Tell me something I will believe
Take me take me
Far away
From this city’s soul decay
Hid away ’til I was eighteen
Only saw colours on a tv screen
Skinny jeans and sunglasses
A fashion statement for the masses
What your doing makes me sick
Over hyped and generic

Shine shine
Like the sun
Spread your warmt through everyone
I asked you why people die
You said we all had a design
Slide slide
Into the sea
Landslide coming down on me
I said I was into you
You said you were into me

You never answer on the phone
With your nicotene lips and your heart of stone
I look for you by the underpass
Looks like this love wasn’t meant to last
You said you reap just what you sow
So tell me where does your garden grow
You said in the time the pain would pass
Looks like the end is here at last

Burn burn
Like a star
Burn a hole in every heart
Strung out on a trail of blood
Who knew the stars were not enough
Smile Smile
If you can
If you can’t I’ll understand
See these stiches in my eyes
Smash computers kill rockstars
Purge the past and waste my mind
Leave no scent or trace behind
One day when you bury me
When I wake up what will I see?
Down down underground
Dig for fire dig for sound
What is on the radio
'Cause I would like to say hello

Crawl crawl through the dirt
Jesus show us what your worth
Can’t you just send us a sign
Tell us all that we’re doing fine
Nights for sitting in the dark
Days for lieing in the park
Wake me up from my sick dream
A requiem for this dead scene

You never answer on the phone
With your nicotene lips and your heart of stone
I look for you by the underpass
Looks like this love wasn’t meant to last
You said you reap just what you sow
So tell me where does your garden grow
You said in the time the pain would pass
Looks like the end is here at last

Count back anecitize
Colours burnt into my eyes
Life for you is shades of grey
Help me help me
Find my way
Mother can’t you help me know
Cause I’ve been drowning in the sound
Lying on the motorway
Writing songs and wasting away

Lyrics of the Week + Video / THE SHINS - NEW SLANG



Gold teeth and a curse for this town were all in my mouth.
Only I don't know how they got out, dear.
Turn me back into the pet I was when we met.
I was happier then with no mind-set.

And if you'd 'a took to me like a gull takes to the wind.
Well, I'd 'a jumped from my tree
And I'd 'a danced like the king of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.

New slang when you notice the stripes, the dirt in your fries.
Hope it's right when you die, old and bony.
Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall,
Never should have called
But my head's to the wall and I'm lonely.

And if you'd 'a took to me like a gull takes to the wind.
Well, I'd 'a jumped from my tree
And I'd 'a danced like the king of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.

God speed all the bakers at dawn
May they all cut their thumbs,
And bleed into their buns 'til they melt away.

I'm looking in on the good life I might be doomed never to find.
Without a trust or flaming fields am I too dumb to refine?

And if you'd 'a took to me like
I'd 'a danced like the queen of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.

Lyrics of the Week + Video / MIKE OLDFIELD - NUCLEAR



Standing on the edge of the crater
Like the prophets once said 
and the ashes are all cold now
No more bullets and the embers are dead
Whispers in the air tell the tales
Of the brothers gone
Desolation, devastation
What a miss we made, when it all went wrong

Watching from the edge of the circus
For the games to begin
Gladiators draw their swords 
form their ranks for armageddon

I'm nuclear
I'm wild
I'm breaking up inside
A heart of broken glass
Defiled
Deep inside
The abandoning child

Standing on the edge of the underworld
Looking at the abyss 
and I'm hoping for some miracle
To breakout to escape from all this
Whispers in the air tell the tales
of a life that's gone
Desolation, devastation
What a mess we made, when it all went wrong

I'm nuclear
I'm wild
I'm breaking up inside
A heart of broken glass
Defiled
Deep inside
The abandoning child

I'm nuclear
I'm wild
I'm breaking up inside
A heart of broken glass
Defiled
Deep inside
The abandoning child

Lyrics of the Week + Video / MOLTHENI - IN CENTRO ALL'ORGOGLIO



Non credo agli altri non cedo ai ricatti
Di questo amore in decadenza
Vorrei parlarti lo faccio e infatti
Per me ha molta importanza
E all'improvviso c'è tanto freddo
Senza il calore del tuo corpo fragile
E non pretendo di avere ragione
È alquanto inutile
Perché
Non reagisco
Perché
Non mi rialzo
Senza di te

Io non mi illudo che tu abbia pazienza
E che tu pianga ancora per me
Nel bilancio di quello che manca
Non voglio escludere certo anche te
Non mi parli da giorni e comprendo
Quello che provi dentro poiché
Ti ho colpito in centro all'orgoglio
Credevo di vincere
Che cosa non so

Non mi comporto in modo corretto
E me ne sto rendendo conto
Equivocando ogni sguardo degli altri
Scivolo sempre più in fondo
E poi ho torto sempre più torto
Credi non me ne sia accorto
Corro piango e infine mi stanco
E intanto
E intanto
Non reagisco
Perché
Non mi rialzo
Senza di te

Io non mi illudo che tu abbia pazienza
E che tu pianga ancora per me
Nel bilancio di quello che manca
Non voglio escludere certo anche te
Non mi parli da giorni e comprendo
Quello che provi dentro poiché
Ti ho colpito in centro all'orgoglio
Credevo di vincere

Non mi parli da giorni e comprendo
Quello che provi dentro poiché
Ti ho colpito in centro all'orgoglio
Credevo di vincere
Credevo di vincere
Io crededevo di vincere
Che cosa non so
Che cosa non so
Che cosa non so

Lyrics of the Week + Video / ASH - GOLDFINGER



Move closer, set my mind on fire
Taking over, the world seems so alive
The world seems so alive

She slips into the night, and she is gone
Gone to settle the score, gone into the town
Rain shining in her eyes
Her brother started school
Again today, a thought to pass the time
To occupy my mind, while I'm waiting for her

Down in the basement, listening to the rain
Thinking things over. I think it over again
I think it over again

She slips into the night, and she was gone
Gone to settle the score, gone into the town
Rain shining in her eyes
Her brother started school
Again today, a thought to pass the time
To occupy my mind, while I'm waiting for her

I'm riding it down, listen to the rain
She'll be here soon, I lie back and drift away
I lie back and drift away.

She slips into the night, and she was gone
Gone to settle the score, gone into the town
Rain shining in her eyes
Her brother started school
Again today, a thought to pass the time
To occupy my mind, while I'm waiting for her

I'm feeling so alive, feeling so real
On a stormy night, the rain is coming down
Rain like never before
I've got some records on, some bottles of wine
On a stormy night, the rain is lashing down
And I'm waiting for her

Lyrics of the Week + Video / ARCADE FIRE - WE EXIST



Walking around head full of sound
Acting like we don't exist
Walk in a room stare out through you
Talking like we don't exist

But we exist

Daddy it's true, I'm different from you
But tell me why they treat me like this?
You turn away, what could I say
Not the first betrayed by a kiss

Maybe it's true
They're staring at you
When you walk in a room

Turn on us fine
Stare if you like
Or just let us through
Just let us through

Down on your knees
Begging us please
Praying that we don't exist

Daddy it's fine, I'm used to them now
But tell me why they treat me like this?
Is it because we do it like this?

Maybe it's true
They're staring at you
When you walk in a room

Turn on us fine
Stare if you like
Or just let us through
Just let us through

Let them stare
Let them stare
That's all right with you

But lose myself
If it turn away from you

Daddy told him to wait
Mother, I'm so scared
But will you watch us drown?
You know that they will

You know that we're young
You know that we're confused
But will you watch us drown?
What are you so afraid to lose?

Down on their knees
Begging us please
Praying that we don't exist

We exist

Lyrics of the Week + Video / FIRST AID KIT - CEDAR LANE



Rose after rose of passenger place
Headed out again, running all in vain
Motel blues, only bad news
I’m never looking for you
You’ll find me all the same

I lie awake at night envisioning
A trace from the past
This heavy heart of mine, it never fails
To bring me right back

Now I see us walking down Cedar Lane
Slowing, the sunshine passed in the rain
Tremble so swiftly all of those days
I still remember how you used to say
Something good will come out of this

Coast after coast, cities and states
My world’s an empty map where nothing remains
The place we belong is quietly gone
While we were making plans, it drifted away

I lie awake at night envisioning
A trace from the past
This heavy heart of mine, it never fails
To bring me right back

Now I see us walking down Cedar Lane
Slowing, the sunshine passed in the rain
Tremble so swiftly all of those days
I still remember how you used to say
Something good will come out of this
Something good will come out of this

How could I break away from you?
How could I break away from you?
How could I break away from you?
How could I break away from you?
How could I break away from you?
How could I break away from you?
How could I break away from you?
How could I break away from you?

Lyrics of the Week + Video / DAMON ALBARN - EVERYDAY ROBOTS



We are everyday robots on our phones
In the process of getting home
Looking like standing stones
Out there on our own

We’re everyday robots in control
Or in the process of being sold
Driving in adjacent cars
‘Til you press restart

Everyday robots just touch thumbs
Swimmin’ in lingo they become
Stricken in a status sea
One more vacancy

For everyday robots getting old
When our lips are cold
Lookin’ like standing stones
Out there on our own

Little robots in ringback tones
In the process of getting home

Lyrics of the Week + Video / FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE - COSMIC LOVE



A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat
I tried to find the sound
But then it stopped, and I was in the darkness,
So darkness I became

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

I took the stars from my eyes, and then I made a map
And knew that somehow I could find my way back
Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

Lyrics of the Week + Video / BON IVER - CALGARI



Don't you cherish me to sleep
Never keep your eyelids clipped
Hold me for the pops and clicks
I was only for the father's crib

Hair, old, long along
Your neck onto your shoulder blades
Always keep that message taped
Cross your breasts you won't erase
I was only for your very space

Hip, under nothing
Propped up by your other one, face 'way from the sun
Just have to keep a dialogue
Teach our bodies: haunt the cause
I was only trying to spell a loss

Joy, it's all founded
Pincher with the skin inside
You pinned me with your black sphere eyes
You know that all the rope's untied
I was only for to die beside

So itʼs storming on the lake
Little waves our bodies break

There's a fire going out,
But there's really nothing to the south

Swollen orange and light let through
Your one piece swimmer stuck to you

Sold, I'm Ever
Open ears and open eyes
Wake up to your starboard bride
Who goes in and then stays inside
Oh the demons come, they can subside

Lyrics of the Week + Video / THE CONNELS - NEW BOY



Sometimes I get the feeling things won't fall apart.
Sometimes I think it's gone too far.
Sometimes I get the feeling things seem pretty nice.
Then again sometimes I'd like to leave you twice.

Once we decide upon it
We won't fall apart.
This time I think it's gone too far.

And you get where you can't decide--
Don't ask any other.
And you get where you can't decide.

Didn't I say "sorry."
Didn't I say "dear."
Didn't I consider.
Didn't I stand clear.
Didn't you say "New boy get down on your knees."
Didn't I say "trying, I'm trying, I'm trying."

Didn't I say "sorry."
Didn't I say "dear."
Didn't I consider.
Didn't I stand clear.
Didn't you say "New boy get down on your knees."
Didn't I say "trying, I'm trying, I'm trying."

Didn't I say "sorry."
Didn't I say "no."
Didn't you consider.
Didn't I let go.
Didn't you say "New boy get down on the floor."
Didn't I say "maybe I'm trying, I'm trying."

Didn't I say "sorry."
Didn't I say "slow."
Didn't you consider.
Didn't you say no.
Didn't you say "something that something I said."
Didn't I say "trying, I'm trying, I'm trying."

Didn't I say "sorry."
Didn't I say "yes."
Didn't you consider.
Didn't I confess.
Didn't you say "New boy get down on your knees."
Didn't I say "maybe I'm trying, I'm trying."

Sometimes I get the feeling things won't fall apart.
Then again, sometimes I think it's gone too far.

I know you're living in my mind
It's not the same as being alive
I know you're living in my mind
It's not the same as being alive

Supersymmetry

If telling the truth is not polite
Then I guess you'll have to fight
If telling the truth is not polite
Then I guess we'll have to fight

Supersymmetry

I lived for a year, in the bed by the window
Reading books, better than memories
Wanna feel the seasons passing
Wanna feel the spring

Of supersymmetry
Supersymmetry

It's been a while since I've been to see you
I don't know where, but you're not with me
Heard a voice, like an echo
But it came from you

Lyrics of the Week + Video / OCEAN COLOUR SCENE - HUNDRED MILE HIGH CITY



So I said I'm on the roam so I need a car 
And I know that I'm getting alive 
And I say I got faith and a season 
And I say that's where I'm going to

I get a need and I'm wanting to please it 
I got a face and I'm wanting to feel it 
The more I feel is the more that I need it 
The more I need is the less I believe it

Well I want a good love by my side 
Keep on getting out of love and my pride 
And I know I keep hurting my love yeah 
But I know it ain't killing

Lyrics of the Week + Video / EDITORS - SUGAR



Don't leave, don't leave,
I want you to realize when I'm gone.
My my, my my,
You are the only thing I want to own.

There's sugar on your soul,
You're like no one I know, 
You're the life of another world.

You swallow me whole,
With just a mumbled hello,
And it breaks my heart to love you, it breaks my heart to love you.

Don't leave, don't leave,
When you're lost in the moment, I am home.
I tried, I tried 
To make you realize when I'm gone, gone, gone.

There's sugar on your soul,
You're like no one I know, 
You're the life of another world.

You swallow me whole,
With just a mumbled hello,
And it breaks my heart to love you, it breaks my heart to love you.

It breaks my heart to love you.

There's sugar on your soul,
There's sugar on your soul.

There's sugar on your soul,
You're like no one I know, 
You're the life of another world.

You swallow me whole,
With just a mumbled hello,
And it breaks my heart to love you, it breaks my heart to love you.

Don't leave, don't leave,
I want you to realize when I'm gone.

Lyrics of the Week + Video / LE LUCI DELLA CENTRALE ELETTRICA - I DESTINI GENERALI



Luminosa natura morta con ragazza al computer
poverissima patria, arriva arriva la deriva economica
luminosa natura morta con ragazza al computer
poverissima patria, arriva arriva la deriva economica

le stelle cadendo cercano il tuo volto
cadendo ventimila leghe sotto il mare Adriatico
cadendo dopo gli ultimi anni di scioperi senza nessun risultato
(è solo un momento)
di crisi di passaggio
che io e il mondo stiamo attraversando
è solo un momento
di crisi di passaggio
che io e il mondo stiamo superando

La luna sui sentieri, sui destini generali
sui ragazzi che giocano a calcio nei penitenziari
le stelle sui viali, sulle offerte speciali
sulle ragazze che cantano nella notte verso i militari

E le parole di quel giorno mentre ti spogliavi in mezzo ai campi
saranno argomenti più memorabili dei nostri lunghi abbracci
nella calma che hanno a notte fonda i viali di Bologna

Luminosa natura morta con ragazza al computer
poverissima patria, evviva evviva la deriva economica
luminosa natura morta con ragazza al computer
poverissima patria, evviva evviva la deriva economica
