Letterpress Lyrics

The Mountain Goats, “Love Love Love” off of The Sunset Tree. (Youtube [live])

Some moments last forever,
but some flare out with love love love.

“Silent Night”

Here’s Bing Crosby on Youtube.

Modest Mouse, “Lives” off of The Moon & Antarctica. (Youtube)

It’s hard to remember
we’re alive for the first time
It’s hard to remember
we’re alive for the last time
It’s hard to remember
to live before you die
It’s hard to remember
that our lives are such a short time
It’s hard to remember
when it takes such a long time

Guided by Voices, “Hardcore UFOs” off of bee thousand. (Youtube)

Count the days that we have wasted from the start
Speak the words and build a playground in your head

Kimya Dawson, “So Nice So Smart” off of Knock-Knock Who? (Youtube)

You’re so nice and you’re so smart
You’re such a good friend I have to break your heart
I’ll you that I love you
Then I’ll tear your world apart
Just pretend I didn’t tear your world apart

Tom Waits, “Way Down in the Hole,” made famous as the theme song for The Wire. Youtube.

When you walk through the garden
you gotta watch your back
well I beg your pardon
walk the straight and narrow track
if you walk with Jesus
he’s gonna save your soul
you gotta keep the devil
way down in the hole

Guided by Voices, “As We Go Up, We Go Down” off of Alien Lanes. Youtube.

“Leave my fucking life alone”

Eef Barzelay, “Take Me” off of Lose Big. Youtube.

“I don’t know much, but I know what boys like”

Luna, “This Time Around” off of Bewitched. Youtube

…The sky is painted deep shades of blue
I hope for happiness
I think of you…
