CocoRosie - Tekno Love Song

Well, it seems this blog is pretty much dead.
This is from Noah's Ark. I miss CocoRosie and their last album wasn't that great, in my opinion.

I fell in love with a bad bad man
Ever since i met him
I've been sad sad sad
I'm a jailbird to your music
A criminal in your prayer
I watch you in your sleep
Even when you're not there

Rainbows wept color all over the streets
When you went away maybe one day we'll meet

Lipstick i'd wear for one million years
Just to stop your eyes from falling down tears

I fell in love with a bad bad man
Ever since i met him
I've been sad sad sad
I'm a jailbird to your music
A criminal in your prayer
I watch you in your sleep
Even when you're not there

Rainbows wept color all over the streets
When you went away maybe one day we'll meet
One day we'll meet
One day we'll meet
One day
We'll meet

Papas Fritas - Way You Walk

Here's a catchy tune from Buildings And Grounds, released in the year 2000.





I can tell by the way you walk you wanna be alone with him
Cause you're pacing at an open door, you're waiting and you can't come in

Why do you make up all these stories
Made up your mind, decided for me
I can tell by the way you walk you wanna be alone with him

When you called me on the telephone I knew that you were miles away
'Cause the words that you said to me weren't hiding what you couldn't say

Plans sort of changed up for the weekend
Friend came to town been years since I seen him
I can tell by the way you talk you wanna be alone with him

Ooo Ooo alone with him.

He was in my dreams
What else could it mean

When you laugh at me behind my back I'll turn and you can run away
Will you tell him all the special things you told me you could never say

I never said I'd be yours only, I didn't know until you told me
If I go I won't be lonely, If I stay now you don't own me
I can tell by the way you smile your love is changing on a whim

Maybe I will and maybe I won't
Maybe I do and maybe I don't

Pete Molinari - I don't like the man I am

This new (2008) yet timeless cover is brought to you by Pete Molinari, british singer/songwriter. They say he grew up with the Bob Dylan records of his brothers (can you tell?). He recorded an album with artist Billy Childish, who first performed this song.



no video, decent sound :

live version, bad sound :



I'm lying through my teeth
I can't express my grief
I ain't got the belief
It feels like I'm going beneath

Oh I can't love you
I really don't think that I can
Oh I can't love you
'cause I don't like the man I am

Ah there's a fool inside my head
He's making me see red
I don't want to get ahead
Oh I don't want to be led

Oh I can't love you
I really don't think that I can
Oh I can't love you
'cause I don't like the man I am

If I could only understand
The type of man I am
But I don't believe that I can
I never drew the plan

Oh I can't love you
I really don't think that I can
Oh I can't love you
'cause I don't like the man I am
