"Mockingbird Franklin" lyrics
"Mockingbird Franklin"
She's never known acceptance
She's never known the word
She says I like to call myself M
But my real name is mockingbird
Mockingbird Franklin
So how do you do
Mockingbird Franklin
I'm a lot like you
She says her mother is gone now
She says her mother got killed
I said I'm sorry but is it true
Did she really name you mockingbird
Mockingbird Franklin
Broke your heart in two
Mockingbird Franklin
I'm a lot like you
Mockingbird don't you change
Just because you're not like them
Oh mockingbird you're not the same
Alone along the sidewalk
Her steps are barely heard
It's kinda funny that it's her name
'Cause she's nothing like a mockingbird
Nothing like a mockingbird
Mockingbird Franklin
Don't it get to you
Mockingbird Franklin
I'm a lot like you
I'm a lot like you
It's true

Beirut - "Postcards From Italy" The times we had
Oh, when the wind would blow with rain and snow
Were not all bad
We put our feet just where they had, had to go
Never to go
The shattered soul
Following close but nearly twice as...
Laura Marling - "Alas, I Cannot Swim" There's a house across the river
But alas I cannot swim
And a garden of such beauty
That the flower seem to grin
There's a house across the river
But alas I cannot swim
I live my life regretting...
Primal Scream - "Rocks" Dealers keep dealing, thieves keep thieving
Whores keep whoring, junkies keep scoring
Trade is on the meat rack, strip joints full of hunchbacks
Bitches keep a bitching, clap just keeps itching

Dinosaur Jr. - "Start Choppin'" There's no goin' back to that
I'm so numb, can't even react
Didn't say it's not ok
But we aren't dealin' the same way
I ain't tellin' you a secret
I ain't tellin' you goodbye
It's the last thing...
Pixies - "Hey" Hey
Been tryin' to meet you, mm-hm
Hey, must be a devil between us
Or whores in my head
Whores at the door, whore in my bed
But hey
Where have you been?
If you go, I will surely die
We're chained...
