Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsk - ano Concerto No. 1 in B flat minor, Op. 23 (1874)

Martha Argerich, piano - Charles Dutoit, conductor (1975)

Belle and Sebastian - Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie (1997)

Sunbeam shone, mousy girl on the end pew
You'd stay home, oh if only they let you
Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie

Municipal pool, you're a junior life saver
But you're friends are all serious ravers
Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie
Reading Judy Blume
But you came too soon

You're too tall, much too tall for a boyfriend
They run and hide, from your buck tooth and split ends
Don't be scared, like the books you've read
You're the heroine
You'll be doing fine

Wouldn't you like to get away?
Bestowing the memory of good and evil
On the ones you left behind
The heartless swine

And you love like nobody around you
How you love, and a halo surrounds you
Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie
In the Autumn cool
Say cheerio to school

Listen Dear, I've been watching you lately
If I said all these things you would hate me
Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie
At the church bazaar
I nearly went too far

Wouldn't you like to get away?
Give yourself up to the allure of
Catcher In The Rye
The future's swathed in Stars and Stripes

Wouldn't you like to get away?
Kerouac's beckoning with open arms,
And open roads of eucalyptus
Westward bound.

Tom Waits - Medley: Jack & Neal/California, Here I (1977)

Jack was sitting poker faced with bullets backed with bitches
Neal hunched at the wheel putting everyone in stitches
Bragging about some nurse he screwed while driving through Nebraska
And when she came she honked the horn
Neal just barely missed a truck
And then he asked her if she'd like to come like that to California
You see a red head in a uniform will always get you horny
Yeah and with her hairnet and those white shoes and a name tag and a hat
She drove like Andy Granatelli and knew how to fix a flat
And Jack was almost at the bottom of his MD 2020
Neal was yelling out the window trying to buy some bennies
From a Lincoln full of Mexicans and the left rear tire blowed
And the sons of bitches pretty near almost ran us off the road
And while the nurse had spilled the Maneshewitz all up and down her dress
And then she lit the map on fire Neal just had to guess
Should we try and find a bootleg route or a filling station open
The nurse was dumping out her purse and looking for an envelope
And Jack was out of cigarettes and as we crossed the yellow line
The gas pumps looked like tombstones from here
And it felt lonelier than a parking lot when the last car pulls away
And the moonlight dressed the double breasted foothills in the mirror
Weaving out a negligee and a black brassiere
And the Mercury was running hot and we were almost out of gas
Just then Florence Nightingale she dropped her drawers and
Stuck her fat ass half way out of the window to a Wilson Pickett tune
And shouted Get a load of this and gave the finger to the moon

Counting one eyed Jacks and whistling dixie in the car
Neal was doing least a hundred when we saw a falling star
And Florence wished that Neal would hold her instead of chewing on his cigar
Jack was nodding out and wishing he was in a bar
With Charlie Parker on the bandstand and not a worry in the world
And a glass of beer in one hand and his arms around a girl
Neal was singing to the nurse Underneath the Harlem Moon
And somehow you could just tell we'd be in California soon

Open up your golden gates
California here I come
I said California here I come
Look out California here I come.

Vance Joy - Riptide (2014)

I was scared of dentists and the dark
I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations
Oh, all my friends are turning green
You're the magician's assistant in their dream

Oh, and they come unstuck

Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song
And I got a lump in my throat
'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong

There's this movie that I think you'll like
This guy decides to quit his job and heads to New York City
This cowboy's running from himself
And she's been living on the highest shelf

Oh, and they come unstuck

Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song
And I got a lump in my throat
'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong

I just wanna, I just wanna know
If you're gonna, if you're gonna stay
I just gotta, I just gotta know
I can't have it, I can't have it any other way
I swear she's destined for the screen
Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you've ever seen, oh

Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song
And I got a lump in my throat
'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong

Oh lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song
And I got a lump in my throat
'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong

Oh lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song
And I got a lump in my throat
'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong
And I got a lump in my throat
'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong.

Hozier - Take Me To Church (2014)

My lover's got humour
She's the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
I should've worshiped her sooner

If the heavens ever did speak
She's the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
A fresh poison each week

'We were born sick,' you heard them say it

My Church offers no absolutes.
She tells me, 'Worship in the bedroom.'
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with you—

I was born sick,
But I love it
Command me to be well
Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.

[Chorus 2x:]
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life

If I'm a pagan of the good times
My lover's the sunlight
To keep the Goddess on my side
She demands a sacrifice

Drain the whole sea
Get something shiny
Something meaty for the main course
That's a fine looking high horse
What you got in the stable?
We've a lot of starving faithful

That looks tasty
That looks plenty
This is hungry work

[Chorus 2x:]
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me my deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life

No Masters or Kings
When the Ritual begins
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin

In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
Only then I am Human
Only then I am Clean
Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.

[Chorus 2x:]
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life.

Gang Of Four - Man In Uniform (1982)

Time with my girl I spent it well
I had to be strong for my woman
(You must be joking, o man you must be joking)
She needed to be protected

The good life was so elusive
Handouts, they got me down
I had to regain my self-respect
So I got into camouflage

The girls they love to see you shoot

I love a man in a uniform [Repeat: x4]

To have ambitions was my ambition
But I had nothing to show for my dreams
Time with my girl I spent it well
(you must be joking, o man you must be joking)

The good life was so elusive
Handouts, they got me down
I had to regain my confidence
So I got into camouflage

The girls they love to see you shoot

I love a man in a uniform [Repeat: x4]

I need an order
(shoot, shoot)
I need an order
(shoot, shoot)
I need an order
(shoot, shoot)
I need an order
(shoot, shoot)

To have ambition
Was my ambition
Time with my girl I spent it well
(you must be joking, o man you must be joking)

The girls they love to see you shoot
The girls they love to see you shoot

I love a man in a uniform
I love a man in a uniform
(they love to see you shoot)
I love a man in a uniform

The girls they love to see you shoot
I love a man in a uniform
(they love to see you shoot)

The girls they love to see you shoot
I love a man in a uniform
(they love a, they love a, they love a)
(they love to see you shoot)

The girls they love to see you shoot
(bang bang you're dead)
I love a man in a uniform
(they love a they love a they love a bang bang)
(they love to see you shoot)

The girls they love to see you shoot
I love a man in a uniform
(they love a they love a they love a bang bang)
(they love to see you shoot)

The girls they love to see you shoot
(bang bang you're dead)
I love a man in a uniform
(they love a they love a they love a bang bang)
(they love to see you shoot)

The girls they love to see you shoot
(bang bang you're dead)
(they love a, they love a, they love a)
(I love a man in a uniform).

Lenny Kravitz - The Chamber (2014)

You killed the love that was once so strong
With no regret to what you did wrong
Should I stay and fight?
Can we make this right?

You looked through me like an open door
Do I exist to you anymore?
Cause when I'm talking to you
There's someone else that you're hearing

I gave you all the love I had
And I almost gave you one more chance
Then you put one in the chamber
And shot my heart of glass
This time will be the last

You played your game, used me like a pawn
Check mate you're done and then you were gone
Did I move too fast?
I thought we would last

Now that you're through I can feel your soul
Where there was love lies an empty hole
Cause when I make love to you
It's someone else that you're feeling

I gave you all the love I had
And I almost gave you one more chance
Then you put one in the chamber
And shot my heart of glass
This time will be the last

I gave you all the love I had
And I almost gave you one more chance
Then you put one in the chamber
And shot my heart of glass
This time will be the last

So many nights
I've been standing at the wall
Blind folded with cigarette
Waiting for the fall

I gave you all the love I had
And I almost gave you one more chance
Then you put one in the chamber
And shot my heart of glass
This time will be the last

I gave you all the love I had
And I almost gave you one more chance
Then you put one in the chamber
And shot my heart of glass
This time will be the last

I gave you all the love I had
And I almost gave you one more chance
Then you put one in the chamber
And shot my heart of glass
This time will be the last.

Patty Pravo - La bambola (1968)

Una bambola

Tu mi fai girar
tu mi fai girar
come fossi una bambola
Poi mi butti giú
poi mi butti giú
come fossi una bambola.
Non ti accorgi quando piango
quando sono triste e stanca tu
pensi solo per te.
No ragazzo no
no ragazzo no
del mio amore non ridere.
Non ci gioco piú
quando gioci tu
sai far male da piangere.
Da stasera la mia vita
nelle mani di un ragazzo no,
non la metteró piú.
No ragazzo no
tu non mi metterai
tra le dieci bambole
che non ti piacciono piú
oh no, oh no
Tu mi fai girar
tu mi fai girar
come fossi una bambola.
Poi mi butti giú
poi mi butti giú
come fossi una bambola.
Non ti accorgi quando piango
quando sono triste e stanca tu
pensi solo perte.
No ragazzo no
tu non mi metterai
tra le dieci bambole
che non ti piacciono piú.

A Doll

You make me twirl
You make me twirl
As if I were a doll
Then, you throw me down
Then, you throw me down
As if I were a doll
You don’t notice when I cry
When I’m sad and tired
You think only about yourself
No, boy, no
No, boy, no
Don’t laugh at my love
I’m not playing this game
That you play anymore
You know how to make me cry
From tonight on,
I will never put my life in the hands
Of a boy again.
No, boy, no
You will not place me
Between the ten dolls
That you no longer care about
Oh no, oh no
You make me twirl
You make me twirl
As if I were a doll
Then, you throw me down
Then, you throw me down
As if I were a doll
You don’t notice when I cry
When I’m sad and tired
You think only about yourself
No, boy, no
You will not place me
Between the ten dolls
That you no longer care about.

Brigitte Bardot - Moi Je Joue (1964)

Moi je joue
Moi je joue à joue contre joue
Je veux jouer à joue contre vous,
Mais vous, le voulez-vous?
De tout coeur,
Je veux gagner ce coeur à coeur
Vous connaissez mon jeu par coeur
Alors défendez vous!
Sans tricher,
Je vous le promet!
J'ai gagné!
Tant pis c'est bien fait
Vous êtes mon jouet!
A présent,
Ce ne sera plus vous mais toi
Et tu feras, ça t'apprendras,
N'importe quoi pour moi!

Sans m'en faire,
Je vais t'assurer,
Un enfer,
De griffes et de crocs, tu crieras bientôt:
"Au secours"
Alors décidant de ton sort,
Pour m'éviter quelques remords
Je t'aimerais plus fort!
Oh oui! Plus fort!
Oui oui oui oui plus fort!
Ah! Plus fort!
Oui oui AAAH!
Oh! Plus fort!

The Boxer Rebellion - Semi Automatic (2009)

I am waiting in a world you don't want
Suffocating by an endless weak spot
Please note up here my hands are tied up too from

All I can see makes it hard for me
The last one to say good son, one more day

You know I am here but I am losing
Faith in what I see you celebrating
I know up here I'll be proven guilty

All I can see makes it hard for me
The last one to say good son, one more day

All I can see makes it hard for me
The last one to say good son, one more day.

The Animals - See See Rider (1966)

Oh see, See See Rider

Hey, bo-weavil, don't sing them blues no more

Hey, hey, bo-weavil, don't sing them blues no more

Bo-weavil's here, bo-weavil's everywhere you'll go

I'm a lone bo-weavil, been out a great long time

I'm a lone bo-weavil, been out a great long time

I'm gonna sing these blues to ease the bo-weavil's lonesome mind

I don't want no man to put no sugar in my tea

I don't want no man to put no sugar in my tea

Some of them's so evil, I'm afraid they might poison me

I went downtown and bought me a hat

I brought it back home, I laid it on the shelf

Looked at my bed, I'm getting tired of sleeping by myself

Mary J. Blige - Whole Damn Year (2014)

Tryna find a way to explain this
Why you can't touch me tonight?
I can feel you're getting impatient
But I really can't let you inside
Bad, how deep the pain is
Or you just couldn't believe
And yes I'm good on the surface
But I'm a mess, I'm a mess underneath
See winter took most of my heart
And Spring punched right in the stomach
Summer came looking for blood
And by autumn, I was left with nothing

It took a whole damn year to repair my body
It took a whole damn year
It took a whole damn year to repair my body
It's been about five years
Gon' take a long long year for me to trust somebody
Gon' take long long year
Gon' take a long long year for me to touch somebody
It's been a bad five years

Not tryna do this on purpose
Boy I really wish I could
Don't act like you never heard this
I know you haven't misunderstood
Where the others just wouldn't respect me
Don't tell me you use well
I thought we were heading for Heaven
But you're about to take me back to Hell

See winter took most of my heart
And Spring punched right in the stomach
Summer came looking for blood
And by autumn, I was left with nothing

It took a whole damn year to repair my body
It took a whole damn year
It took a whole damn year to repair my body
It's been about five years
Gon' take a long long year for me to trust somebody
Gon' take long long year
Gon' take a long long year for me to touch somebody
It's been a bad five years

It took a whole damn year to repair my body
It took a whole damn year
It took a whole damn year to repair my body
It's been about five years
Gon' take a long long year for me to trust somebody
Gon' take long long year
Gon' take a long long year for me to touch somebody
It's been a bad five years

Bad to the liver, bad to the bones
Bad to the liver, bad to the bones
Bad to the liver, bad to the bones
It's been a bad five years.

Ariana Grande Feat. Big Sean - Best Mistake (2014)

[Ariana:]
How soon do we forget how we felt?
Dealing with emotions that never left
Playing with the hand that we were dealt in this game...

Maybe I'm the sinner, and you're the saint
Gotta stop pretending what we ain't
Why we pointing fingers, anyway?
When we're the same

Break up
Make up
Total waste of time
Can we please make up our minds
And stop acting like we're blind?

'Cause if the water dries up and the moon stops shining
Stars fall, and the world goes blind, boy
You know, I'll be savin' my love for you, for you

'Cause you're the best mistake I've ever made
But we hold on, hold on
There's no pot of gold in the rainbows we chase
But we hold on, hold on

[Big Sean:]
I guess time's wasting, tick tocking, lip locking
How can we keep the feelings fresh? How do we zip lock it?
Wear your heart up on your sleeves so watch out for pickpockets
I guess to go the distance we might need to pit stop it
Hold up, I know love could be a beach with no shore
I done count to ten, lost my temper, and went back to four
I know sometimes it's hard to realize I'm the man that you need
I had a dream we branched out started a family tree
And I feel like that everything we do is overdue
You ask why I love your mom so much 'cause she's a older you
I wish that you were happy I guess that's the one thing I should be providing
Ain't no number twos, we both ones of ones and we the oddest
Couple only humans 'cept you, you a goddess
Only lying to you when I lie you down, just being honest
When you start as friends it's hard to say you're never going back
If I'm not the one then I'm the best mistake you ever had

[Ariana:]
Break up
Make up
Total waste of time
Can we please make up our minds
And stop acting like we're blind?

'Cause if the water dries up and the moon stops shining
Stars fall, and the world goes blind, boy
You know, I'll be savin' my love for you, for you

'Cause you're the best mistake I've ever made
But we hold on, hold on
There's no pot of gold in the rainbows we chase
But we hold on, hold on

You're, you're, you're, you're...
Mmm, I'll be savin' my love for you, for you [2x].
