Foxy Shazam - Wanna-Be Angel (2010)



I want my friends to think I'm awesome,
Awesome, Awesome Yeah!
I want this world to think I care,
I don't care at all!

For you I wear this mask,
At home I tear it off!
'Cause I don't need it,
I don't need it at all!

I'm a wannabe, I'm a wannabe angel!
I'm a wannabe, I'm a wannabe angel!

I want my fans to think I'm so punk rock
So punk rock and roll!
And all you hipsters say I'm gay,
Well I'm not gay at all!

For you I wear this mask,
At home I tear it off!
'Cause I don't need it,
No, I don't need it at all!

I'm a wannabe, I'm a wannabe angel!
I'm a wannabe, I'm a wannabe angel!

Do- you want to be dead?
Do- Oh yes I am, yes I am!

You'll probably end up in Heaven,
And I'll be burning in Hell.
You'll probably end up in Heaven,
And I'll be burning in Hell.

I'm a wannabe, I'm a wannabe angel!
Come on, everybody, come on!
I'm a wannabe, I'm a wannabe angel!

Do- you want to be dead?
Do- Oh yes I am, yes I am!

I'm a wannabe, I'm a wannabe angel!
I'm a wannabe, I'm a wannabe angel!

Stevie Wonder - Master Blaster (Jammin') (1980)



Everyone's feeling pretty
It's hotter than July
Though the world's full of problems
They couldn't touch us even if they tried
From the park I hear rhythms
Marley's hot on the box
Tonight there will be a party
On the corner at the end of the block

Didn't know you
Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
I bet nobody ever told you that you
would be jammin' until the break of dawn
You would be jammin' and jammin' and jammin', jam on

They want us to join their fighting
But our answer today
Is to let all our worries
Like the breeze through our fingers slip away
Peace has come to Zimbabwe
Third World's right on the one
Now's the time for celebration
'Cause we've only just begun

Didn't know that you
Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
Bet you nobody ever told you that you
Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
You would be jammin' and jammin' and jammin', jam on
Bet you nobody ever told you that you
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
I know nobody told you that you
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
We're jammin', jammin', jammin', jam on

You ask me am I happy
Well as matter of fact
I can say that I'm ecstatic
'Cause we all just made a pact
We've agreed to get together
Joined as children in Jah
When you're moving in the positive
Your destination is the brightest star

You didn't know that you
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
I bet you nobody ever told you that you
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, you
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
Don't you stop the music, oh no,
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
Na, na na...
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
Nobody told you Oh, Oh, Oh, you
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
I bet you if someone approached you
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
yesterday to tell you that you would be jammin' you would not believe it because you never thought that you would be jammin'
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh,
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
jammin' 'til the break of dawn
Oh, Oh, Oh, You may as well believe what you are feeling
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
because you feel your body jammin'
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
Oh, Oh, you would be jammin' until the break of dawn
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')

Silvana Mangano - Anna (El Negro Zumbon) (Sung by Flo Sandon's) (1951)



Ya viene el negro zumbon
Bailando alegre el baion
Repica la zambomba
Y llama a la mujer

Ya viene el negro zumbon
Bailando alegre el baion
Repica la zambomba
Y llama a la mujer

Tengo gana de bailar el nuevo compás
Dicen todos cuando me ven pasar
"żChica, dónde vas?"
"ˇMe voy a bailar, el baión!"

Tengo gana de bailar el nuevo compás
Dicen todos cuando me ven pasar
"żChica, dónde vas?"
"ˇMe voy a bailar, el baión!"

Ya viene el negro zumbon
Bailando alegre el baion
Repica la zambomba
Y llama a la mujer

Ya viene el negro zumbon
Bailando alegre el baion
Repica la zambomba
Y llama a la mujer

Tengo gana de bailar el nuevo compás
Dicen todos cuando me ven pasar
"żChica, dónde vas?"
"ˇMe voy a bailar, el baión!"

Tengo gana de bailar el nuevo compás
Dicen todos cuando me ven pasar
"żChica, dónde vas?"
"ˇMe voy a bailar, el baión!"

Zaz - Je Veux (2010)



Donnez moi une suite au Ritz, je n'en veux pas

Des bijoux de chez CHANEL, je n'en veux pas
Donnez moi une limousine, j'en ferais quoi papalapapapala
Offrez moi du personnel, j'en ferais quoi
Un manoir a Neufchatel, ce n'est pas pour moi.
Offrez moi la Tour Eiffel, j'en ferais quoi papalapapapala

J'parle fort et je suis franche, excusez moi
Finie l'hypocrisie moi j'me casse de là
J'en ai marre des langues de bois
Regardez moi, toute manière j'vous en veux pas et j'suis comme çaaaaaaa (j'suis comme çaaa) papalapapapala

Refain x3:

Avi Buffalo - What's In It For? (2010)



I walked in on a plan to dissolve all of your wishes
But I couldn’t help your mouth which I missed by two inches
Maybe I thought that you and I could run away alongside
But I didn’t understand I was a cold tear in your eye

What’s in it for someone with nothing to do?
What’s in it for me?

What’s in it for someone with nothing to do?
What’s in it for me?

I can read but I won’t if I’m sleeping here without you
All these things that you learn, I’ve been knowing since my childhood
You are tiny and your lips are like little pieces of bacon
I can feel you on fire because you’re drunk and I seem too cool

What’s in it for someone with nothing to do?
What’s in it for me?

What’s it in for someone with nothing to do?
What’s it in for me?

You know I love it when you put your fingertips around my shoulders
Should I take you to more functions or would you rather be lonely?
I feel like I’m messing up too much and I forget where I am
You are so much wiser and I’m used to stretching things out so long

What’s in it for someone with nothing to do?
What’s in it for me?

What’s in it for someone with nothing to do?
What’s in it for me?

Sufjan Stevens - Impossible Soul (2010)



Oh, woman, tell me what you want
And I'll calm down without bleeding out
With a broken heart that you stabbed for an hour
Woman, I was freaking out because I want you to know
My beloved, you are the lover of my impossible soul

Woman, too, promise me you'll stay and put off all your woes
I was wigging out, too much worry
I could not get you at all
And you said what you want, you would laugh it off
But I know you won't go, not for it at last
Must you write it off for the impossible soul?
And I was in a dream, I was gone away without you, but not too slow
Lest I put it off, for I put it right for the impossible soul

And all I couldn't sing, I would say it all, my life, to you
If I could get you at all
Don't be a wreck, trying to be something that I wasn't at all

Seems I got it wrong, I was chasing after something that was gone
To the black of night, now I know it's not what I wanted at all
And you said something like, "All you want is all the world for yourself"
But all I want is the perfect love
Though I know it's small, I want love for us all

And all I couldn't sing, I would say it all, my life, to you
If I could get you at all
Trying to be something that I wasn't at all

Do you want to be afraid?
Do you want to be afraid?
For life in the cage where courage's mate runs deep in the wake
For the scariest things are not half as enslaved

Don't be distracted, don't be distracted
Do you want to be alone?
Do you want to be alone?
For life isn't stained of righteousness pain
The seed and the hail, all impossible flights for an interesting light

Don't be distracted, don't be distracted
Do you want to love me more?
Do you want to love me more?
For love is the breath
If water and wave is cursed by the same thing that nurtured its shame
Is it worth all the work?

Don't be distracted, don't be distracted
Have you failed to feel delight? (No, I don't want to feel pain)
Have you failed to feel delight? (No, I don't want to feel pain)
Instead of the life, lived tired and lost, have you left it at last
Where it floundered its death with the language of ghosts

Don't be distracted, don't be distracted
Do you want to be afraid? (No, I don't want to feel pain)
Do you want to be afraid? (No, I don't want to feel pain)
For life in the cage where where courage's mate runs deep in the wake
For the scariest things are not half as enslaved

Don't be distracted, don't be distracted

No . . . don't be distracted

Caterina Caselli - Il volto della vita (1968)



Con il corpo sono qui
Ma la mente mia non c'è,
Corre dietro a dei ricordi
E chi la ferma píu.

I miei occhi sono chiusi
Ma ci vedo molto bene,
Son davanti ad una casa
Entro e vedo te.

Il volto della vita, ah ah.
Il volto dell'amore.

Rose rosse alle pareti,
Giochi d'ombra sul tuo viso,
Come ali le mie braccia
Si apron verso te.

Ed ancora la mia mente
Non è stanca di vagare
E mi porta lungo il fiume
E in fondo vedo te.

Il volto della vita, ah ah.
Il volto dell'amore.

Sei vestito un poco strano
Ma d'altronde, come sempre,
Il mio cuore ti fa festa
Solo a un passo da te.

Ma qualcuno ha bussato
E il mio viaggio è terminato,
Io mi alzo per aprire,
Apro e vedo te.

Il volto della vita, ah ah.
Il volto dell'amore.

Il volto della vita, ah ah.

Belle & Sebastian - Write About Love (2010)



I know a spell
That would make you well
Write about love
It can be in any tense
But it must make sense

I know a trick
Forget that you are sick
Write about love
It can be in any form
Hand it to me in the morning

[Chorus:]
I hate my job, I'm working way too much (every day I'm stuck in an office)
At one o'clock, I take my lunch up on the roof
The city spread below
I write about a man
He's intellectual and he's hot, but he understands

The seconds move on (if you watch the clock)
And the sky grows dark (if you're looking up)
And the girls move from thrill to thrill on the tightrope walk (on the tightrope walk)

[Chorus]

I know a way (so you know the way)
Get on your skinny knees and pray (Maybe not today)
You've got to see the dream through the windows and the trees of your living room (of your living room)
You've got to see the dream through the windows and the trees of your living room

Jevetta Steele - Calling You (1987)



A desert road from vegas to nowhere,
some place better than where you've been.
A coffee machine that needs some fixing
in a little café just around the bend.

I am calling you.
Can't you hear me?
I am calling you.

A hot dry wind blows right through me.
The baby's crying and I can't sleep,
but we both know a change is coming,
coming closer sweet release.

I am calling you.
I know you hear me.
I am calling you.
Ohhhh.

I am calling you.
I know you hear me.
I am calling you.

A desert road from vegas to nowhere,
some place better than where you've been.
A coffee machine that needs some fixing
in a little café just around the bend.

A hot dry wind blows right through me.
The baby's crying and I can't sleep
and I can feel a change is coming,
coming closer sweet release.

I am calling you.
Can't you hear me?
I am calling you.
Ohhhhhhhh
Uhhhhh.....
