Well, I thought I wasn’t going to do this, and then I was, and then I made Ester a mix instead, and then I was going to go to bed at a reasonable hour last night, and then… this fell out of my brain. Technically late, but oh well. That’s how I ~roll~.
A Strange, Mad Relationship (He Has To Make Me Laugh)
1. Blow Away - A Fine Frenzy
One of us is gonna be here and
And one of us is gonna be runnin’
Off alone into a great unknownYou’re not me, you’re a model of freedom
All you need are your kicks when you need ‘em
Come and go, caught that slow alright
2. July, July! - The Decemberists
And we’ll remember this when we are old and ancient
Though the specifics might be vague
And I’ll say your camisole was a sprightly light magenta
When in fact it was a nappy bluish grey
3. New York City - They Might Be Giants
‘Cause everyone’s your friend in New York City
And everything looks beautiful when you’re young and pretty
The streets are paved with diamonds and there’s just so much to see
But the best thing about New York City is you and me
4. Daylight - Matt and Kim
We cut the legs off of our pants
Threw our shoes into the ocean
Sit back and wave through the daylight
Sit back and wave through the daylight
5. Falling for the First Time - Barenaked Ladies
I’m so cool, too bad I’m a loser
I’m so smart, too bad I can’t get anything figured out
I’m so brave, too bad I’m a baby
I’m so fly, that’s probably why it
Feels just like I’m falling for the first time
6. Lily (My One and Only) - Smashing Pumpkins
Lily, my one and only
I can hardly wait ‘til I see her
Silly, I know I’m silly
‘Cause I’m hanging in this tree
In the hopes that she will catch a glimpse of me
And through her window shade
I watch her shadow move
I wonder if she…
7. Accidentally In Love - Counting Crows
How much longer will it take to cure this
Just to cure it cause I can’t ignore it if it’s love (love)
Makes me wanna turn around and face me but I don’t know nothing ‘bout love
8. The Luckiest - Ben Folds
And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it everyday
And I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest
9. Valerie - The Zutons
Cos since I’ve come on home,
Well my body’s been a mess
And I’ve missed your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Won’t you come on over
Stop making a fool out of me
Why won’t you come on over Valerie?
10. Breaking Into Houses - Edmund
I’m tired of watching you watching me
Trying to keep this smile inside
Soon I’ll burst into a thousand other smiles to cover you
11. Must Have Done Something Right - Relient K
And I know that it’s so cliche to tell you that everyday
I spend with you is the new best day of my life
Everyone watching us just turns away with disgust
It’s jealousy, they can see that we’ve got it going on
BONUS
Pumpkin Soup - Kate Nash
smoochie-smoochie time!
BONUS BONUS
And Your Bird Can Sing (blooper version) - The Beatles
Because I’ve gotten to the point where uncontrollable giggling makes me think of Matt and Kaz almost exclusively.
