"Prizefighter" lyrics
"Prizefighter"
Hope had filled the sky at nighttime
Diamond in the ring
Don't feed your mind
Maybe I had never pictured bad times
Brother in the drugstore falls behind
He's got knuckles that no longer fit my eyes
Knuckles that a prizefighter can't buy
I got the world, so I'll be fine
I got the sunshine to figure me out
I'm back to work, that's over
Now all I want is fun
Yeah, my work ain't hard
But it's got to be done
Tommy left for war with no goodbye
I never got a chance to ask him why
But since Tommy always was a tough guy
I know it's 'cause he thought I'd see him cry
He had knuckles that could make the devil shy
Knuckles of a prizefighter held high
I got the world, so I'll be fine
I got the sunshine to figure me out
I'm back to work, that's over
Now all I want is fun
Yeah, my work ain't hard
But it's got to be done
I got a war that I can't fight
I got the sunshine to figure me out
I'm back to work, that's over
Now all I want is fun
Yeah, my work ain't hard
But it's got to be done
I got the world, so I'll be fine
I got the sunshine to figure me out
I'm back to work, that's over
Now all I want is fun
Yeah, my work ain't hard
But it's got to be done

Beirut - "Santa Fe" Your days in one
This day undone

All day at once

All grace of lost

Local Natives - "Wide Eyes" Oh some evil spirit,
Oh some evil this way comes.
They told me how they fear it,
Now they're placing it on their tongues.

Bon Iver - "Blood Bank" Well, I met you at the blood bank
We were looking at the bags
Wondering if any of the colors
Matched any of the names we knew on the tags

The Dodos - "Winter" I know if I'll make it through this winter without you by my side
I waited for you so long while I traveled far and wide
