"Eleanor Put Your Boots On" lyrics
"Eleanor Put Your Boots On"
Eleanor, put those boots back on
Kick the heels into the Brooklyn dirt
I know it isn't dignified to run
But if you run, you can run to the Coney Island roller coaster
Ride to the highest point and leap across the filthy water
Leap until the Gulf Stream's brought you down
Mm-hmm
I could be there when you land
I could be there when you land
So, Eleanor, take a Greenpoint three-point turn
Towards the hidden sun
You know you are so elegant when you run
Oh, if you run, you can run to that statue with the dictionary
Climb to her fingernail and leap, yeah, take an atmospheric leap
And let the jet stream set you down
Mm-hmm
I could be there when you land
I could be there when you land
I could be there when you land
So, Eleanor, put those boots back on
Put the boots back on and run and run
Come on over here
Come on over here
Come on over here

Alex Turner - "It's Hard To Get Around The Wind" It's like you're trying to get to heaven in a hurry
And the queue was shorter than you thought it would be
And the doorman says
You need to get a wristband
You got a lift between the pitfalls
But...
The White Stripes - "In The Cold, Cold Night" I saw you standing in the corner
On the edge of a burning light
I saw you standing in the corner
Come to me again in the cold, cold night
In the cold, cold night
You make me feel a little older
Like...
Manic Street Preachers - "Ocean Spray" Me, tottemo utsukushīdesu ne
Totemo utsukushī-me o shitemasu
It's easy to see, it's easy to see
To see only white where colour should be
It's easy to feel, it's easy to feel
But it's not good...
Eels - "I Like Birds" I can't look at the rocket launch
The trophy wives of the astronauts
And I won't listen to their words
'Cause I like
Birds
I don't care for walkin' downtown
Crazy auto-car gonna mow me down
Look at...
MGMT - "Congratulations" Dead in the water
It's not a paid vacation
The sons and daughters of city officials
Attend demonstrations
It's hardly a sink or swim
When all is well if the ticket sells
Out with a whimper
It's not...
