My 2011 - part the fourth

SOUNDTRACK TO 2011

Charlene Kaye - Oh, Howard!
He's quoting Clement Greenberg,
He's pacing the floor,
Each word comes out as sweet as vermouth

Horrible Histories - Dick Turpin

I became a Highwayman,
Was daylight robbery.
I was no Prince Charming,
Nothing dandy about me

Emmy the Great - A Woman, a Woman, a Century of Sleep
But I don't want to be
The queen
In a century of sleep

Freelance Whales - Generator (First Floor)
And in our native language,
We are chanting ancient songs



The Boy Least Likely To - When Life Gives Me Lemons I Make Lemonade
I got a bucket, filled it with raindrops,
Then I put in in the fridge.
So whenever the sun in shining,
I make rainbows out of it.
 

Stephen Sondheim - Not Getting Married (from Company)

Listen, everybody, look, I don't know what you're waiting for,
a wedding, what's a wedding, it's a prehistoric ritual
where everybody promises fidelity forever,
which is maybe the most horrifying word I ever heard of,
which is followed by a honeymoon, where suddenly he'll realize
he's saddled with a nut, and wanna kill me, which he should

Starkid - Granger Danger

Seems like my eyes have been transfigured
something deep inside has changed

Arcade Fire - Spawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)

'Cause on the surface, the city lights shine,
They're calling at us - come and find your kind


Backstreet Boys - I Want It That Way
I never want to hear you say
I want it that way



The Divine Comedy - Tonight, We Fly
And when we die,
Oh, will we be that disappointed or sad?
If heaven doesn's exist What will we have missed?
This life is the best we've ever had.
