“Break My Body”

“Break My Body” by Pixies

I’m the party looser
You’ll find me crashing through my mother’s door
I am the ugly lover
You’ll find us rolling on the dirty floor

Break my body, hold my bones, hold my bones (3x)

I’m a belly dancer
I’ll shake forever and I’ll never care
I’m a building jumper
Roof to roof you see me flying in the air

Break my body, hold my bones, hold my bones

Somebody got hurt
Somebody get hurt
Somebody got her 

“Introducing ‘Morrissey’ (Ergs! Cover!)” by Brave Little Abacus

The last album I loved
The whole way through
Was by a band that had formed
In 1982.
I was barely alive
I had some thinking to do,
But once I figured it out
I was in love and I knew that I,
Would be in love forever.

The last girl that I loved
She kind of looked like you.
She had a beat up guitar
And an awesome tattoo,
But she was breaking my heart
I had some learnin’ to do,
And once I figured it out
I was in love and I knew that I,
Would be in love forever.
Well I, would be in love forever.

I wish I could get you to call me.
I wish that you would stand here beside me.
But I will never be with you.
I wish my mind would trip to way back when
You were a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend.
Life is long when your lonely.
Life is long when your lonely.

Well I, would be in love forever.

Life is long when your lonely.
Life is long when your lonely.
Life is long when your lonely.
Life is long when your lonely.

“405 [Acoustic]”

“405 (Acoustic)” by Death Cab for Cutie

I took the 405 and drove a stake down into your center,
and stated that it’s never ever been better than this.
I hung my favorite shirt on the floorboard, wrinkled up from
pulling pushing and tasting, tasting…

You keep twisting the truth
that keeps me thrown askew.

Misguided by the 405 ‘cause it lead me to an alcoholic summer.
I missed the exit to your parents’ house hours ago.
Red wine and the cigarettes: hide your bad habits underneath the patio.

You keep twisting the truth
that keeps me thrown askew.

You keep twisting the truth
that keeps me thrown askew.
