"Not Perfect" lyrics
"Not Perfect"
This is my earth and I live on it
It's one third dirt and two thirds water
And it rotates and revolves through space
At rather an impressive pace
And never even messes up my hair
And here's a really weird thing:
The force created by its spin
Is the force that stops the chaos flooding in
This is my earth and it's fine
It's where I spend the vast majority of my time
It's not perfect but it's mine
It's not perfect
This is my country and I live in it
It's pretty big and nice to walk on
And the bloke who runs my country
Has built a demagoguery
And taught us to be fearful and boring
And the weirdest is that he is
Conservative of politics
But really rather radical of eyebrow
This is my country and it's fine
It's where I spend the vast majority of my time
It's not perfect but it's mine
It's not perfect
This is my house and I live in it
It's made of cracks and photographs
We rent it off a guy who bought it from a guy
Who bought it from a guy whose granddad left it to him
And the weirdest thing is that this house
Has locks to keep the baddies out
But they're mostly used to lock ourselves in
This is my house and it's fine
It's where I spend the vast majority of my time
It's not perfect but it's mine
It's not perfect
This is my body and I live in it
It's 29 and 12 month old
It changed a lot since it was new
It's done stuff it wasn't built to do
I often try to fill it up with wine
And the weirdest thing about it is:
I spend so much time hating it
But it never says a bad word about me
This is my body and it's fine
It's where I spend the vast majority of my time
It's not perfect but it's mine
It's not perfect
This is my brain and I live in it
It's made of love and bad song lyrics
It's tucked away behind my eyes
Where all my fucked up thoughts can hide
Cause god forbid I hurt somebody
And the weirdest thing about a mind
Is that every answer that you find
Is the basis of a brand new cliché
This is my brain and it's fine
It's where I spend the vast majority of my time
It's not perfect but it's mine
It's not perfect but it's mine
It's not perfect I'm not quite sure I worked out how to work it
It's not perfect but it's mine

Tenacious D - "Time Warp" It's astounding
Time is fleeting
Madness takes its toll
But listen closely
Not for very much longer
I've got to keep control
I remember doing the time warp
Drinking those moments when
The blackness...
McFly - "Tonight Is The Night" I was there when it happened
I was there when you fell
First time that I saw you cry
The magic died as well
I remember you told me
Kid, go give 'em hell
I was always gonna buy the dream
That you...
The Fratellis - "Whistle For The Choir" Well it's a big big city and it's always the same
Can never be too pretty tell me your name
Is it out of line if I was to be bold to say "Would you be mine"?

bill wurtz - "La De Da De Da De Da De Day Oh" I don't have enough time
To say the things I wanna say

Or to be like you
I just want some time
To express the things I feel
Just to express the things I feel
And believe...
Kate Miller-Heidke - "Caught In The Crowd" There was a guy at my school when I was in high school
We'd ride side by side in the morning on our bicycles
Never even spoken or faced each other
But on the last hill we'd race each other
When...
