Muddy Waters - Can't Be Satisfied (1948)

From a single in 1948

Well I'm goin' away to leave
Won't be back no more
Goin' back down south, child
Don't you want to go?
Woman I'm troubled, I be all worried in mind
Well baby I just can't be satisfied
And I just can't keep from cryin'

Well I feel like snappin'
Pistol in your face
I'm gonna let some graveyard
Lord be your resting place
Woman I'm troubled, I be all worried in mind
Well baby I can never be satisfied
And I just can't keep from cryin'

Well now all in my sleep
Hear my doorbell ring
Looking for my baby
I couldn't see not a doggone thing
Woman I was troubled, I was all worried in mind
Well honey I could never be satisfied
And I just couldn't keep from cryin'

Well I know my little old baby
She gonna jump and shout
That old train be late man, Lord
And I come walking out
I be troubled, I be all worried in mind
Well honey ain't no way in the world could we be satisfied
And I just can't keep from crying

Buffalo Tom - Taillights Fade (1992)

From the album Let Me Come Over in 1992



Sister can you hear me now
The ringing in your ears
I'm down on the ground
My luck's been dry for years

I'm lost in the dark
And I feel like a dinosaur
Broken face and broken hands
I'm a broken man

I've hit the wall
I'm about to fall
But I'm closing in on it
I feel so weak
On a losing streak
Watch my taillights fade to black

I read a thing about this girl
She was a hermit in her world
Her story was much like mine
She could be my valentine

And although we've never met
I won't forget her yet
She cut herself off from her past
Now she's alone at last

I feel so sick
Lost love's last licks
But I'm closing down on it
I feel so weak
On a losing streak
Watch my taillights fade to black

Lost my life in cheap wine
Now it's quiet time
Cappy Dick nor Jesus Christ
Could not help my fate

But I'm underneath a gun
I'm singing about my past
Had myself a wonderful thing
But I could not make it last

I've hit the wall
I'm about to fall
But I'm closing in on it
I feel so small
Underneath it all
Watch my taillights fade to black
..Watch my taillights fade
..Watch my taillights fade
..Watch my taillights fade

Captain Beyond - Dancing Madly Backwards (On a Sea of Air) (1972)

From the album Captain Beyond in 1972



Dancing madly backwards
Dancing on a sea
Racing on my memories
I'm glad I set my dreams
Tip toe, tip toe quickly
Forget about your cares
And remember underneath you
Is just a sea of air
Just remember underneath you
Is just a sea of air
Wishing on your wishes
Landin on a storm
Knowing when you are dancing
Knowing that's so far
Dance, Dance, faster
Madly dance away
Cause remeber underneath you
Is just a sea of air
Just remember underneath you
Is just a sea of air
Well, I saw right now, looked at face to face
Don't complain never seems too late
No no no no no
Ah, cause I'm not sitting on the golden gate
Love and a peace and war and hate
No no no no no
Well, I'm not gonna sit around and wait
All I'm a doing is losing my face
Oh no no no
But we're all on station that's for sure
Searchin is an endless
Well, there ain't no care
Ah, oo

Sidonie - Mi Cancion De Domingo (2007)

From the album Costa Azul (2007)



Aterrados de felicidad
En un cuarto oscuro a mediodía
En la cama hay un rincón
Con círculos de luz perdida

Y yo, canto en la fosa
Y tú, esparces la rosa
Sobre la losa

Bajamos a tomar un té
En un bar del Paseo de Gracia
La gente mira con desdén
mi cigarro temblando de ansia

Y yo, canto en la fosa
Y tú, esparces la rosa
Sobre la losa

Tú estas en mi canción
cantando en domingo una vez más
Estás en mi canción cantando una vez más
Mi canción, mi canción, mi canción

Me despido del pobre portal
Creo que tu nombre es Elena
Y me quedo solo otra vez
En la santa tarde de las penas

Las horas que no volverán
Los días, los meses, los años
Son las rimas del enterrador
Son las rimas del enterrador

Y yo, canto en la fosa
Y tú, blanca y hermosa
Bajo las rosas

Tú estas en mi canción
cantando en domingo una vez más
Estás en mi canción cantando una vez más
Mi canción, mi canción, mi canción

Joy Division - Transmission (1979)

From a single in 1979



Radio, live transmission.
Radio, live transmission.
Listen to the silence, let it ring on.
Eyes, dark grey lenses frightened of the sun.
We would have a fine time living in the night,
Left to blind destruction,
Waiting for our sight.
And we would go on as though nothing was wrong.
And hide from these days we remained all alone.
Staying in the same place, just staying out the time.
Touching from a distance,
Further all the time.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio.
Well I could call out when the going gets tough.
The things that we've learnt are no longer enough.
No language, just sound, that's all we need know, to synchronise
love to the beat of the show.
And we could dance.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio.

Incubus - Drive (2000)

From the album Make Yourself in 2000



Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I can't help but ask myself how much I let the fear
Take the wheel and steer
It's driven me before
And it seems to have a vague, haunting mass appeal
But lately I'm beginning to find that I
Should be the one behind the wheel

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
I'll be there

So if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive
Will I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive?
It's driven me before
And it seems to be the way that everyone else gets around
But lately I'm beginning to find that
When I drive myself my light is found

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
I'll be there

Would you choose water over wine
Hold the wheel and drive

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
I'll be there

(A') Breakin' rocks in the ... hot sun
I Fought the Law and the ... law won
I Fought the Law and the ... law won

Grizzly Bear - Two Weeks (2009)

From the album Veckatimest in 2009



Save up all the days
A routine malaise
Just like yesterday
I told you I would stay

Would you always
Maybe sometimes
Make it easy
Take your time

Think of all the ways
Momentary phase
Just like yesterday
I told you I would stay

Every time you try
Quarter half the mile
Just like yesterday
I told you I would stay

Would you always
Maybe sometimes
Make it easy
Take your time

Shuggie Otis - Strawberry Letter 23 (1974)

From the album Inspiration Information in 1974



Hello my love, I heard a kiss from you
Red magic satin playing near, too
All through the morning rain I gaze, the sun doesn't shine
Rainbows and waterfalls run through my mind

In the garden, I see
West purple shower bells and tea
Orange birds and river cousins
Dressed in green

Pretty music I hear
So happy and loud
Blue flower echo
From a cherry cloud

Feel sunshine sparkle pink and blue
Playgrounds will laugh
If you try to ask
"Is it cool?"

If you arrive and don't see me
I'm going to be with my baby
I am free, flying in her arms
Over the sea

Stained window yellow candy screen
See speakers of kite
With velvet roses diggin'
Freedom flight

A present from you
Strawberry letter twenty-two
The music plays I sit
In for a few

[No Lyrics]

Orage Juice - L.O.V.E. Love (1982)

From the album You Can't Hide Your Love Forever in 1982



I started to write this song about you
Then I decided that I would write it all about love
It then occured to me
That you weren't happy
That's for sure, positively
That's what the world is made for
So give me more...

L.O.V.E.
Love is a walk down Main street
Love is an apple that's so sweet
Love is something that can't be beat
L.O.V.E.
It's strange to me

I can't explain this feeling
Can't you see that salvation is freeing
It's all in the heavens
Can't you see
You can always depend on me
To give you love

Love is a fire within my soul
Love is a story that can't be told
Can't you feel it burning more and more
Stop and look at the big wheel roll

I can't explain this feeling
Can't you see that salvation is freeing
I would give my life for the glory
Just to be able to tell the story
'Bout...

I didn't mean to make you mad
A sweet story, I thought I had
But maybe time will bring us together
And I will be such a happy fella
'Bout...

Love is something that is so divine
Love is a feeling (that)'s a friend of mine
It can't be measured by no time
In your heart or even in your mind
Love is a fire within my soul
Love is a story that can't be told
Can't you feel it burning more and more
Stop and look at the big wheel roll

Sam Cooke - Cupid (1961)

From a single in 1961



Cupid, draw back your bow and let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me, for me
Cupid, please hear my cry and let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me

Now, I don't mean to bother you but I'm in distress
There's danger of me losin' all of my happiness
For I love a girl who doesn't know I exist
And this you can fix

So, Cupid, draw back your bow and let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me, nobody but me
Cupid, please hear my cry and let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me

Now, Cupid if your arrow make a love storm for me
I promise I will love her until eternity
I know between the two of us her heart we can steal
Help me if you will

So, Cupid, draw back your bow and let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me, nobody but me
Cupid, please hear my cry and let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me

Now, Cupid, don't you hear me
Callin' you, I need you
Cupid, help me

Amy Winehouse - You Know I'm No Good (2006)

From The album Back To Black in 2006



Meet you downstairs in the bar and hurt
Your rolled up sleeves and your skull t-shirt
You say what did you do it with him today?
And sniffed me out like I was Tanqueray

Cause you're my fella, my guy
Hand me your stella and fly
By the time I'm out the door
You tear men down like Roger Moore

I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told ya, I was trouble
You know that I'm no good

Upstairs in bed, with my ex boy,
He's in a place, but I cant get joy,
Thinking of you in the final throes, this is when my buzzer goes

Run out to meet you, chips and bitter
You say when we're married cause you're not bitter
There'll be none of him no more
I cried for you on the kitchen floor

I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told ya, I was trouble
You know that I'm no good

Sweet reunion, jamaica and spain
We're like how we were again
I'm in the tub, you're on the seat
Lick your lips as I soak my feet

Then you notice lickle carpet burn
My stomach drops and my guts churn
You shrug and it's the worst
Who truly stuck the knife in first

I cheated myself like I knew I would
I told ya I was trouble, you know that I'm no good
I cheated myself, like I knew I would
I told ya I was trouble, yeah ya know that I'm no good

Sex Pistols - Pretty Vacant (1977)

From the album Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols in 1977



There's no point in asking

Say "No future!" and that's just fine

oh so pretty we're vacant
oh we're so pretty

a vacant
don't ask us to attend
'cos we're not all there
oh don't pretend 'cos i don't care
i don't belive illusions
'cos too much is real
so stop you'r cheap comment
'cos we know what we feel
oh we're so pretty
oh so pretty we're vacant
oh we're so pretty
oh so pretty we're vacant
ah but now and we don't care
there's no piont in asking

oh just remember a don't decide
i got no reason it's all too much

The Youngbloods - Get Together (1967)

From the album The Youngbloods in 1967



Love is but the song we sing,
And fear's the way we die
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry
Know the dove is on the wing
And you need not know why

C'mon people now,
Smile on your brother
Ev'rybody get together
Try and love one another right now

Some will come and some will go
We shall surely pass
When the one that left us here
Returns for us at last
We are but a moments sunlight
Fading in the grass

C'mon people now,
Smile on your brother
Ev'rybody get together
Try and love one another right now

If you hear the song I sing,
You must understand
You hold the key to love and fear
All in your trembling hand
Just one key unlocks them both
It's there at your command

C'mon people now,
Smile on your brother
Ev'rybody get together
Try and love one another right now
Right now
Right now!

Butthole Surfers - Who Was in My Room Last Night? (1993)

From the album Independent Worm Saloon in 1993



Im Flying (x22)
All night long my body burned
the sheets were wet and cold
the lights were on my eyes were gone
any second lose control
the pounding on my window is just the pounding in my head
I wonder who was in my room last night,
who the hell was in my bed?
Ahhh!
There must have been a body there
I swear I felt some flesh
it took a little time
but I figured they were mine
there were fingers goin down my chest
my mouth went through the ceiling and my body fell through the floor
I couldn't find the key cause there was no one I could see
and someone had moved the door
Ahhh!
The cops the priest the crisis line,
And no one really had a clue
no one could tell who abducted me,
Or exactly what I should do
my throat was dry and my hopes were high,
but nothing really ever got said
Who was in my room that night,
who the hell was in my bed?
AHHH!

Artic Monkeys - I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor (2005)

From the album Whatever People Say I Am,That's What I'm Not in 2005



[Verse]
Stop making the eyes at me,
I'll stop making the eyes at you.
What it is that surprises me is that I don't really want you to
And your shoulders are frozen (as cold as the night)
Oh, but you're an explosion but you're dynamite
Your name isn't Rio, but I don't care for sand
Lighting the fuse might result in a bang with a bang-go

[Chorus:]
I said I bet that you look good on the dance floor
I don't know if you're looking for romance or...
Don't know what you're looking for
Well I bet that you look good on the dance floor
Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
from 1984!

[Verse]
I wish you'd stop ignoring me because you're sending me to despair,
Without a sound yeah you're calling me and I don't think it's very fair
That your shoulders are frozen (as cold as the night)
Oh, but you're an explosion (You're dynamite)
Your name isn't Rio but I don't care for sand
Lighting the fuse might result in a bang with a bang-go

[Chorus]

Oh, there ain't no love, no Montagues or Capulets
Are just banging tunes and DJ sets and...
Dirty dance floors, and dreams of naughtiness!

Well,

[Chorus]
