Slightly Stoopid - Closer To The Sun, Closer To The Sun

www.slightlystoopid.com

Sidenote: there’s an awesome live video of this song on the homepage of their website.

If I think she beautiful, well that’s for sure
Give a little loving, but I still gon need some more, rob it
Stealing from the rich and then give it to the poor
Telling everybody it don’t matter anymore, she said
All I really needed was a friend like you
Help me through and together we can change, but
If I was to stay it wasn’t for too long
People sing the same song everywhere I’m going
Closer to the sun and far from the moon
People screaming out they gonna see me real soon, they say oooo

Steel Pulse - Roller Skates (Life Without Music), Earth Crisis

www.steelpulse.com

Out on the corner
With my roller skates
Having fun with the girls
Says I’m feeling great woo
In the dark of the night
Street lamps glowing
On full blast is my radio
Radio

Up comes this guy in his flashy car
In his mouth stuck a big cigar
Needed my help said he lost his way
I never heard a word he said
To find some street, said he wanted instructions
So I turned down the music
To point out directions, guess what?
Guy jumped on me messed up my clothes
Smashed and grabbed my radio
Calling all detectives
A criminal at large smoking
A big fat cigar in a flashy car
And think him some superstar

Life life without music
I can’t go go no
Life without music I can’t go

I’m gonna get him
The last thing I do
Must get a beating
Till him red and blue

Didn’t take long to catch him
Parked up car and music blasting
On the sidewalk he was dancing
Stealing the show, the people watching
Roller skate gang
Was hot on his tracks
Stick him up mister
Give me back Give me back
Give me back Give me back
My radio
Guy jumped on me messed up my clothes
Smashed and grabbed my radio
Calling all detectives
a criminal at large smoking
a big fat cigar in a flashy car
And think him some super star

Life life without music
I can’t go
Life life without music
I can’t go

Life without music
Bimma! murder style
Dem have fe get a beatin’
Say dem have fe get a beatin’
Nothing greater nothing best
Like the music from my wireless
And the only thing that I detest
Is the man who steal my wireless
him ha fe run like a fugitive
Him ha fe run from detective
Samuel Thomas is the thief name
lie must a lead life of shame
Some a dem call him Uncle Sam
Some a dem call him Uncle Tom
Uncle Sam and Uncle Tom
Yes they are the same man
S.A.M. means “stealaway music”
T.O.M. means “thiefer of music”
The druna and the bass
Have fe move me waist
The ridim and skank
Me have JAH fe thank.
The lyrics and song
Me have fe keep me strong
Samuel Thomas him have fe get vank
Him have fe get a beatin’
Him have fe get a beatin’

Black Mountain - Tyrants, In The Future

http://www.facebook.com/BlackMountainOfficial

Tyrant, you’ll be damned by your power
and the blood you’ve split
You will die by the sword

The violence
We Suffer
Why you live for?
The walls of creation have been destroyed
You may raise your rifle to the sun
but you have not won
No, you have not won

Bastard, you won’t be forgiven
and no, we won’t lay down
Tyrant, you’re the plague of existence
Tyrant, you’re the king of the damned

The battles of this fashioned war
Ain’t what we’ve been fighting for
Tyrant, you know your time has come
As soldiers emptied
Their rounds into your side
Tyrant, you know your time has come
As soldiers marched on …
your empty skin

The Morning Benders - Promises, The Big Echo

www.themorningbenders.com

This spirit is holding us down,
Pushing our shoulders in deep.
Pulling us through the lines,
Toasting our backs in the sun.
And I’m waiting to hear my next call,
We got all our ears pressed against the wall.

But now our gaze is set straight,
We’re seeing it all eye to eye.
The balance is still chasing after,
Just hanging on as we walk by.

And they say it’s only natural,
They say we’re coming along just fine.
But I can’t help thinking we grew up too fast,
And I know, I know this won’t last, a second longer than it has.

Children you will be cared for at once,
Warmed in our arms like promises plucked from above.

This world is only getting smaller,
The choices aren’t ours to be made.
I’m into wasting my days,
I feel like wasting my days.

And I see what’s coming on,
And I can’t say it will all be fine.
And I can’t help thinking we grew up too fast,
No I can’t help thinking we grew up too fast
And I know, I know, I know this won’t last, a second longer than it has.

Angus & Julia Stone - Mango Tree, Memories of an Old Friend

www.angusandjuliastone.com

I wish I had a mango tree
In my backyard
With you standin next to me
Take the picture
From her lips I heard her say
Can I have you
Caught up in what to say
I said you do

I said you do
I said you do

Through my eyes I can see
A shooting star
Weavn it’s way across the sea
Somewhere from mars
Down the street we would run
To scratch our names in the park
Young and free in the sun
Wheels upon the tar
I said you do
I said you do
I said you do
I said you do

Citizen Cope - All Dressed Up, Every Waking Moment

www.citizencope.com

She’s weighin’ on my mind and it won’t let up
I couldn’t get enough of her
She’s out on the town and she’s all dressed up
I couldn’t get enough of her
She walked into the room and the place lit up
I couldn’t get enough of her
Distance is lifting me up
I couldn’t get enough of her love
I couldn’t get enough of her

Here’s a song for you I play
From all of my life, from all of my days
Life is short but the summer is long
And we could get together a lot before the fall
And when you get near, close enough to hear, my mind just settles
The thoughts just clear
And I could touch you right
And I could rush you right and
Them walls gonna fall like the full moon-light

Yeah Yeah
She’s weighin’ on my mind and it won’t let up
I couldn’t get enough of her
She’s out on the town and she’s all dressed up
I couldn’t get enough of her
She walked into the room and the place lit up
I couldn’t get enough of her
Distance is lifting me up
I couldn’t get enough of her love
I couldn’t get enough of her

Will you remember me
The way I was, when I was free?
An open book that we could read
Together

Will I haunt your dreams?
A mocking bird with broken wings
A burned out barn, an empty swing
Forever

Time turns and then it flies
A waterfall of lullabies
A smiling girl with crying eyes
Forget her

Moonlight upon her face
A story book of empty space
Where you and I feel out of place
Together

Will we remember this?
The way it was or how it is
What we love or what we miss
Forever

Will we turn loose at last
The schools of thought from whence we’ve cast
And let our boats go sailing past
Untethered

One fine morning, one fine morning
The machines are gonna cut us down
One fine morning, one fine morning
The machines are gonna cut us down

Murs - God’s Work, The End of the Beginning

www.mursworld.com

I stumbled out of bed, hungover, none sober
Like the Joe’s rushed my body and I was the sole cobra
Still a soldier grabbed a soda helped my stomach settle down
Then fell into the shower as to let the funk drown
Put Degree under my arms, turned off the alarm
You only set it to regret it
A million things to do but work is where I’m headed
The dreaded grindstone on the edge of my bed
I sit and let my mind zone on how fun last night was
Started with a light buzz that slowly progressed into a full blown fade
I was trying to get laid, but, got no action
It was back to the crib for personal satisfaction
Triple X, dvd’s, I got a whole stack in
Was snapped out of my daydream by something that I seen
I left the tissue full of spunk on the floor by my jeans
It seems I have 15 minutes to make the 20 minute ride it takes to get to work
So I fly out the door while I’m putting on my shirt
Start the car and then I’m off to get in trouble with my boss
He runs his mouth like a bitch sometimes I wish he’d lay me off
So that I could lay him out with one little punch right to his fat ass mouth
But now I’m assed out, ‘cause these fools on the freeway
be driving like they ain’t got nowhere to go
You know those fucks in the fast lane moving hella slow
Got me yelling at my windshield
Now it’s like 10 ‘till I want to call in
Man I think it everyday but I’m not ballin’
So I got to go get paid and continue the charade of
Customer service since I don’t get commission
My efforts seem worthless thanks and have a nice day
‘Cause what I got to say even if they were rude
And gave me attitude it’s a shame what I have to do to get written fool

I work hard
Goddamn hard
To keep this roof over my head
And pay off these credit cards
I work hard
Goddamn hard
So I could pay off all my debt
And get a house with a yard
I work hard
Goddamn hard
To put that gas off in the tank
And make the payments on this car
I work hard
Goddamn hard
So I could wild out every weekend
And buy drinks at the bar

Try being on the road for 45 days straight
Road manager’s the driver and myself plus 8
Other motherfuckers and their idio-sympatic
‘Sop brought two-systems he’s a video fanatic
Sunspot got enough weed to give me contact for the month and a half
PSC got the gas and forever blowing up the spot with his rotten ass
Of course Grouch brought a task that’ll fill his time plot
Trying to hook Pro-Tools to his new laptop
Eligh’s on the last cot a hypocondriac
So with him you never know if it’s a fever or an act
Scarub’s usually either reading, writing, or sleeping
And Bicasso needs to use somebodies celly’s on the creeping
Me I’m simply dreaming plotting schemes to get some money
Almost forgot about Arata but you know
As we tour throughout the country everybody starts to argue over what we
watch on tv and who drank the last brew, who’s been hating on who
Maybe throw a punch or two until a virus breaks out
And how healthy can you be?
When you getting little sleep and all you eat is take out
But the show must go on when you live in dusk ‘till dawn
If I don’t rap every night, I might lose a fan
So even if I got the flu I got a mic in my hand
And I haven’t even spoke on the one night stands
Yeah that might sound fly to the average guy
But when you got a girl at home you got to let it pass you by
So I try to play the sidelines
Watch what they pull, but on a bus full of women, hard to stay faithful
So I cheat not because I hate my girl because I miss her
Eventhough she won’t believe me when I say I only kissed her
Been home a couple days and she still won’t speak
Still I got to hit the road again
Begin another week

I work hard
Goddamn hard
To keep this roof over my head
And pay off these credit cards
I work hard
Goddamn hard
So I could pay off all my debt
And get a house with a yard
I work hard
Goddamn hard
To put that gas off in the tank
And make the payments on this car
I work hard
Goddamn hard!

The Black Keys - Gold On The Ceiling, El Camino

www.theblackkeys.com

Down in the waves
She screams again
Roar at the door
My mind can’t take much more
I could never drown in

They wanna get my…
They wanna get my
Gold on the ceiling
I ain’t blind
Just a matter of time
Before you steal it
It’s alright
Ain’t no guard in my house

Clouds covered love’s
Barb-wired snare
Strung up, strung out
I just can’t go without
I could never drown in

They wanna get my…
They wanna get my
Gold on the ceiling
I ain’t blind
Just a matter of time
Before you steal it
It’s alright
Ain’t no guard in my house

It’s Your Room, Castaway On The Moon Soundtrack

I couldn’t find any information for this song. The only way I know of this song is because of the South Korean movie Castaway On The Moon (I know, wicked hipster thing to say. Then again, this is a tumblr blog). Watch it on Netflix, it’s amazing!

It’s your room
It’s your island
It’s your world
your small world
It’s time to change this world
You can stay
You can out
Hold my hand or be alone
It’s time to change this world
You just threw a bottle of dream of your moon
Something is changed, I know you can do
We can do

It’s your room
It’s your island
It’s your world
your small world
It’s time to change this world
You can stay
You can out
Hold my hand or be alone
It’s time to change this world
You just threw a bottle of dream of your moon
Something is changed, I know you can do
We can do

It’s your room
It’s your island
It’s your world
your small world
It’s time to change this world
You can stay
You can out
Hold my hand or be alone
It’s time to change this world

Mac Miller - Kool Aid and Frozen Pizza, K.I.D.S.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_Miller

Kids,

Kool Aid & Frozen Pizza
its a work of art
I ain’t talking Mona Lisa
Dream of rocking crowds
Filling up arenas
This weed got me laughing like a damn Hyena (yeah)
I’m living life pretty similar to yours
Used to go to school hang with friends and play sports
Every single summer taking trips to the shore
It was all gravy but I knew I wanted more
You never seen a young rapper like MOI
Can’t believe the eyes its just a mirage
Still got my training wheels still in the garage
But I ain’t gonna need those Imma go hard

So far I’ve done pretty well for myself
Couple of trophies on the shelf
What else could I want that I don’t have yet
A little more cash and my own fast jet
So I can go anywhere (anywhere)
Anywhere (anywhere)
Cali for the Kush
Boy I know there’s plenty there
About to be in music stores everywhere
But no yet!
They can’t understand my concept
I’ve been climbing up the great wall
Haven’t had a fall yet
These ? gotta know that I’m on next
Clean conscious
Good Samaritan
Companies sending me clothes so I’m wearing them
If you don’t know, I’m from the burbs
Everything I drop recorded by Big Germ
I smoke herb
I make music
I don’t even talk about it, I just do it!
Everyone got their own opinion
Reason why they feeling em
You must admit he’s killing em
Running off adrenaline
Waiting for the game to let him in
So open up
The boy of a barrel smoke and gun
Whether old or young the chosen one
I got hundred million flows to come

You know the lyrics to every single song
So when I’m at a show everyone can sing along.
My weed bag empty
Bottle at its last drop
I’m feeling like this could be my last shot
But many more songs to make, cousin
So why the f** you bugging.

Yeah, we just some muther fu** kids
We just some muther fu** kids
We just some muther fu** kids
We just some muther fu** kids
We just some muther fu** kids
We just some muther fu** kids
We just some muther fu**
we just some
we just some muther fu** kids

The Aggrolites - Love Isn’t Love, The Aggrolites

www.aggroreggae.com

Love isn’t Love until you give it away
And what you give is what you get, so find someone today

Lost time will never, never be found
But now I know what love is because you’re around
What’s learned from the crib, will last to the grave.
I learned that one man’s loss is another man’s gain.
When I found you, oh yes it’s true. You’re the one that I adore
There’s only a remedy for love, that’s only to love you more.

Love isn’t Love until you give it away
And what you give is what you get, so find someone today.

Decisions made by night, may be changed by the day.
But my mind’s made up because I gave my love away.
They say the time may change things, but the change depends on you.
I’ll keep your love forever, we’ll know just what to do.
Because everything must have a beginning, and you started my romance.
And when the music changed in my life, so did the dance. I love you so…

Love isn’t Love until you give it away
And what you give is what you get, so find someone today

You’re sending me a postcard from the sand
A photograph and how you’re doing
You write the words with ink and cursive and
I follow along with my fingers and pretend

They’ll follow you when you leave
Only if they want you
Around the world when you leave
But only if they want you

Sending me a postcard from Japan
A photograph and how you’re doing
You write the words with ink and cursive and
I follow along with my fingers and pretend

They’ll follow you when you leave
Only if they want you
Around the world when you leave
But only if they want you
They’ll follow you when you leave
Only if they want you
Only if they want you
Only if they want you

Fleet Foxes - Someone You’d Admire, Helplessness Blues

www.fleetfoxes.com

After all is said and done I feel the same
All that I hoped would change within me stayed
Like a huddled moonlit exile, on the shore
Warming his hands a thousand years ago

I walk with others in me, yearning to get out
Claw at my skin and gnash their teeth and shout
One of them wants only to be someone you’d admire
One would as soon just throw you on the fire

After all is said and after all is done
God only knows which of them I’ll become
