Laid - James

This bed is on fire with passionate love
The neighbors complain about the noises above
But she only comes when she's on top

My therapist said not to see you no more
She said you're like a disease without any cure
She said I'm so obsessed that I'm becoming a bore, oh no

Ah, you think you're so pretty...

Caught your hand

Poppies - Marcy Playground

Long, long ago in China
I'm told
To England was traded
Some tea

And so sealed the fate
In pieces of eight
All England and all of the world

Yeah...poppies

When soon his majesty
Sent soldiers and thieves
To India, searching for gold
Instead from the ground
Some magic they found
Something far better, I'm told
Yeah...poppies
Yeah...poppies

And now this

Interlude - Morrissey & Siouxsie Sioux

Time is like a dream
And now for a time you are mine
Let's hold fast to the dream
That tastes and sparkles like wine

Who knows if it's real
Or just something we're both dreaming of
What seems like an interlude now
Could be the beginning of love

Loving you is a world that's strange
So much more

For The Actor - Mates Of State

Oh, you and me on a fantasy
This is what it's like on a fantasy

No, I wouldn't challenge your home.
In the basement of words we knew
There were more of us

Don't want to make you grow numb
If it's not what you thought it was
Legs are for discovering

Relieved, and now we see the

Trout - Neneh Cherry & Michael Stipe

You can find some time to be someone
Like a Valentine for a lonely soul
You can treat me like a fool
And hate

Some love brings me down
Some love turns me 'round and 'round
And 'round and 'round
And round and round and round and round and round

Is it something that I said
Is it

Relator - Pete Yorn & Scarlett Johansson

When I met you
I didn't know what to do. I was tired
I was hungry, I fight
Now I'm away
I write home every day
And I see you on the TV at night

You can see that life's for us to talk about
You can leave whenever you want out
Whoa

You don't relate to me

Daylight - Matt & Kim

We cut the legs off of our pants
Threw our shoes into the ocean
Sit back and wave through the daylight
Sit back and wave through the daylight

Slip and slide on subway grates.
These shoes are poor man's ice skates
Fall through like change in the daylight
Fall through like change in the daylight

I miss yellow lines in

Waltz #2 (XO) - Elliot Smith

First the mic, then a half cigarette
Singing "Cathy's Clown"
That's the man she's married to now
That's the girl that he takes around town
She appears composed, so she is, I suppose
Who can really tell?
She shows no emotion at all
Stares into space like a dead China doll

I'm never gonna know you now.
But I'm

Primitive (The Way I Treat You) - Ambulance LTD
Feel sick without you, and I can't let you go
I told you I don't want to, but you don't let me say no
I drop a wire to your mom and your dad and say
"Relax, don't think about the way I treat you." Huh

Shake humble hands with a faraway neighbor
Take part in

Heaven (I Want You) - Camouflage

When I look into your eyes
Then I know that life's worth living
Just without you
More or less, there's nothing left to tell

All the years we shared our time
All the things we had in common
All the crisis
More or less, we've nothing left to tell

All excuses, all your plights
All your nice ideas
Effusions

(Keep Feeling) Fascination - The Human League

If it seems a little time is needed
Decisions to be made
The good advice of friends unheeded
The best of plans mislaid

Just looking for a new direction
In an old familiar way
The forming of a new connection
To study or to play

And so the conversation turned.
Until the sun went down
And many fantasies

The Catastrophe (Good Luck With That, Man) - Car Seat Headrest

Signs point in every direction, advertising a one-night heaven
Got no clue what's driving us
Blind as hell and burning up with your love

Practice my practical math and hide in the van while I'm counting the cashbox
Beads of sweat falling one by one at a Valero station in the California sun.

Denver
