This Too Shall Pass - OK GO
You know you can't keep lettin' it get you down
And you can't keep draggin' that dead weight around
If there ain't all that much to lug around
Better run like hell when you hit the ground
When the morning comes
You can't stop these kids from dancin'
Why would you want to?
Especially when you're already gettin'

Punk Rock Girl - The Dead Milkmen
One Saturday I took a walk to Zipperhead
I met a girl there
And she almost knocked me dead
Punk rock girl please look at me
Punk rock girl what do you see?
Let's travel round the world
Just you and me punk rock girl
I tapped her on the shoulder
And said do you have a beau?

Fairytale of New York - Kirsty MacColl and The Pogues
It was Christmas Eve, babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me
"Won't see another one"
And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you
Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I've got a feeling
This year's

Velvet - The Big Pink
Seen it in my head, burning my heart
Seen it in my past, back in my home
Doesn't make sense, see her again
I don't, know
I felt it for some time, ever not at all
Poison in my head, gun love hurts
I'm not looking for love, but it's hard to resist
I don't recall, me and mistakes
She's

Winter Winds - Mumford & Sons
As the winter winds litter London with lonely hearts
Oh, the warmth in your eyes swept me into your arms
Was it love or fear of the cold that led us through the night?
For every kiss, your beauty trumped my doubt
And my head told my heart
"Let love grow"
But my heart told my head
"This time

Tuesday Morning - The Pogues
Too many sad days
Too many Tuesday mornings
I thought of you today
I wished it was yesterday morning
I thought of you today
I dreamt you were dressed in mourning
But I knew that you
With your heart beating
And your eyes shining
Would be dreaming of me
Lying with you
On a Tuesday morning
I fell through the

Like a Friend - Pulp
Don't bother saying you're sorry
Why don't you come in?
Smoke all my cigarettes again
Every time I get no further
How long has it been?
Come on in now
Wipe your feet on my dreams
You take up my time
Like some cheap magazine
When I coulda been learning something
Oh well, you know what I mean
I've done

Life in a Northern Town - Dream Academy
A Salvation Army band played
And the children drank lemonade
And the morning lasted all day,
All day
And through an open window came
Like Sinatra in a younger day,
Pushing the town away
Life in a northern town.
They sat on the stony ground
And he took a cigarette out
And everyone else came down
To

Shadows of the Night - Pat Benatar
We're running with the Shadows Of The Night
So baby, take my hand; you'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end
You said - oh girl, it's a cold world
When you keep it all to yourself
I said you can't hide on the inside
All the pain you've

Stone Cold Yesterday - The Connells
I want a word with you 'bout some average Jimmy.
He told me things that I guess I never knew.
He was a bad dancer 'til he learned to shimmy.
He was adrift until the world came into view.
He had an old standby. Not your average Betty.
She showed me things that I guess I always knew.
She
