song136: You Could Be Happy

Song: You Could Be Happy
Artist/Band: Snow Patrol
Album: Eyes Open

You Could Be Happy

You could be happy and I won't know
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go

And all the things that I wished I had not said
Are played in loops 'till it's madness in my head

Is it too late to remind you how we were
But not our last days of silence, screaming, blur

Most of what I remember makes me sure
I should have stopped you from walking out the door

You could be happy, I hope you are
You made me happier than I'd been by far

Somehow everything I own smells of you
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true

Do the things that you always wanted to
Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do

More than anything I want to see you, girl
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world

song 135: False Alarm

Song: False Alarm
Artist : KT Tunstall
Album: Eye To The Telescope

False Alarm

I'm trying to put this thing to bed
I've drugged it in its sleep
There isn't many memories
I'm comfortable to keep

This ball keeps rolling on
It's heading for the streets
Keep expecting you to send for me
The invitation never comes

Each time I turn around
There's nothing there at all
So tell me why I feel like
I'm up against a wall

But maybe it's a false alarm
Every answer sounds the same
Just colours bleeding into one
That hasn't got a name
Maybe I can't see
Maybe it's just me

Now the curtain's coming up
The audience is still
I'm struggling to cater for
The space I'm meant to fill

And distance doesn't care
No distance doesn't care

Each time I turn around
There's nothing there at all
So tell me why I feel like
I'm up against a wall

But maybe it's a false alarm
Every answer sounds the same
Just colours bleeding into one
That hasn't got a name
Maybe I can't see
Maybe it's just me

I'm trying to put this thing to bed
I drugged it in its sleep
Remember what you said
Are you comfortable to keep.....
it?

Song134: Naked Like The Moon

Song: Naked Like The Moon
Band: Micheal Learns To Rock
Album: Complicated Heart

Naked Like The Moon

I catch a word of the universal rhyme
in the summertimes in the summertimes
The river flows and I wonder where it goes
only heaven knows only heaven knows

Impatient with the human race
still Nature shows a friendly face
And I believe in paradise on Earth

But then tonight I had this dream
so horrible I had to scream
I saw the Earth naked like the Moon
naked like the Moon


Impatient with the human race
still Nature shows a friendly face
And I believe in paradise on Earth

But when I saw the News today
so horrible I had to pray
Don't leave the Earth naked like the Moon
naked like the Moon
