they say that girl is every perfect family man's dream
she smiles at pictures with no single hint of irony
she wakes up happy for a day that starts at seven, one hour earlier

she doesn't care about the poetry of lightning
she doesn't put on psychedelic music to sleep 
she doesn't call her mom, 'cause she's no longer a kid
no, no, no, no

indeed, she is the queen of the mainstream
but not you, not you

you're so strange, girl
and that's what i love about you

they say that girl sees life as a stroll in the courtyard
of a thousand princes-charming begging for a favor
she's bright and sunny
even when it starts to rain in a lazy pool sunday

she has no love for posting cryptic pictures online
she has no nerve for breaking countryside conventions
she has no semblance of anything spontaneous
let her dream in her bed of lilac sheets

oh yes, she is the goddess of normalcy
unlike you, oh you

you're so strange, girl
and that's what i love about you

she is the queen of the mainstream
she is the goddess of normalcy

she's the plastic smile
you're different
she's the overused line
you're different
she's the predictable pop song
you're different
she's the one-way road ahead
you're different
she's the canned tv show
you're different
she's the reunion tour
you're different
and that's what I love about you

Strange Girl

são retalhos de um domingo
um trago em meio ao turbilhão
foi só um drama de improviso
óbvio sinal que a noite acabou
bem antes de eu dormir
o sol nasceu dali

e eu queria ser só isso
ator no seu recital
ficar bêbado de alívio
e no final, não é pra destruir
é pra me preservar
bem no meu lugar, meu amor

um segundo em um dia largo
olha os dentes pelo chão
eu já deixei tudo pago, tudo pago
por isso eu peço então,
não me leve a mal,
mas deixa ser o final, meu amor

cai a neblina e tudo passa
boas vindas aos dias sem graça
volta minha paz e meu sossego
pra celebrar o desapego

cai a neblina e tudo muda
meus termos e minha conduta
passa o ferrolho na janela
pra não voltar saudades dela

trouble rears its ugly head
trouble hits until we're dead

after all that we've been through
i'm so tired
tried labels, but they don't fit
they never have, no

nevermind these hordes of losers
but before I go, Linda said to Flo,
let's tear this night apart

trouble followed us around
found in us agony's every sound
sigh, blood, sweat, teardrops

we've been children of the habit
easy to pretend we'd be back again
right where everything started

now as dear routine leaves
deep inside it screams
what's done will always be done
always

nevermind these hordes of losers
but before I go, Linda said to Flo,
let's tear this night apart

sorrow calls on the horizon
so let's just have fun
before we go on
to live our lives apart
to live our lives apart

Linda & Flo

dear estranged lover
i think for you this is just another week
but your smell still lingers on my mattress
videos of warm, ignorant bliss
from you and me

think you've burned my letters
worn-out tomes of cheap philosophy
how many more hardened verses
how many more choruses
will it take for you to believe

now i still feel it while i drive
numb and green to buy some groceries

dear estranged lover
maybe my sin was just to want it all
to be the soothing when you breathe
to be the comfort when you lay back sick
on sunday noons
like you are to me

do you still feel it while you try
to scrap the plans, start yet again

and now young mystery's your friend
pushing your button, erasing me
your skin of sun and scent of sea
smiling to the polaroid
a scene that took my breath away
radiant shelter after a busy day

dear estranged lover
i know that you would break before you bend
now we are at poles apart
and i cling to routine to see me through another week

well, you see,
it was your dream, the one you threw away
waking up smelling of lillies
going back to bed to spend the day
or just hear me say how i love your way
take care

Dear Estranged Lover

(written by Courtney Taylor-Taylor)

I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you

I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you

I only just met you before
But I can't understand you don't want me more
You maybe think I'm too smart and weird
But that should only make you want to hear

That I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you

You make me feel really unsure
But that should only make you feel secure
Although we've only known each other a bit
Already I can't sleep at night and I feel like shit
That's right

I Love You (Dandy Warhols cover)

when have I become so jealous of you?
when have I become so jealous of you?

don't mind me, baby
I got no right to judge you now
I'm just a shade
of an old twinkle in my eye
don't mind me, baby
won't you kick me while I'm down
maybe that's all I need
maybe that's all I need
maybe that's all I need to overcome this ambition
and sleep tight

why have I become this obsessed with you?

what could have been
is no longer yours or mine to save
maybe like this
you'll get the sadness that you crave
no mercy now
this is your cue to sleep around
maybe that's all I need
maybe that's all I need
maybe that's all I need to overcome this ambition
and sleep tight

Homesickology

Ambition

these city lights
tell me something big is coming
tell me, smile and take the morning
up and about, up and coming
pilgrims we are, so

city lights,
be gentle to me

turn your head up, see it coming
now it's on you and it's on me
don't break down and cry, it's nothing
we have come so far

city lights,
be gentle to me

What if the sun refused to shine?
What if the clouds refused to rain?
What if the wind refused to blow?
What if the seas refused to wave?
What if the world refused its turn?
What if the stars would hesitate?

What if what is isn’t true?
What are you gonna do?
What if what is isn’t you?
Does that mean you’ve got to lose?
Digging for the feel of something new

What if the silence let you dream?
What if the air would let you breathe?
What if the words would bring you in?
What if this sound could bring you peace?

What if what is isn’t true?
What are you going to do?
Digging for the feel of something new
What if what is isn’t you?
What are you going to do?

It came from your thoughts, your dreams and visions
Ripped up from your weeks and indecisions

What if the sun refused to shine?
What if the clouds refused to rain?
What if the world refused to turn?
What if the clocks would hesitate?

What if what is isn’t true?
What are you going to do?
What if what is isn’t you?
Does that mean you’ve got to lose?
Digging for the feel of something new
Does that mean you’ve got to choose
The feel of something new?
Does that mean you’ve got to lose
The thoughts you cannot use?
What are you gonna do?

DISILLUSION

Disillusion comes and goes
Sings solution to my woes

I said my mind was over this
I don't know why I even care
I'm the first at sea, I'm the first at sea
Failed chaperone
I'm the first at sea, yet the last to see
That once again it's time for

Disillusion comes and goes
Sings solution to my woes
Disillusion comes and goes
Sings solution to my woes

I thought I'd take this to my grave
Maybe it's forgotten along the way
I'm the first at sea, always first at sea
There I hold my own
'Cause when I'm at sea, it occurs to me
That I just need a bit of

Disillusion comes and goes
Sings solution to my woes
Disillusion comes and goes
Sings solution to my woes

I said my mind was over this
I don't know why I even care
I thought I'd take this to my grave

Disillusion comes and goes
Sings solution to my woes
Disillusion comes and goes
Sings solution to my woes

Ever the Optimist

Disillusion

Velha estação
Uma corrente em cada pé
Pequeno affair
Acho que isso faz de mim quase um voyeur

Eu tropeço
Vejo filmes com Zach Braff
Quase tive pena do seu ex

Se não souber o que for,
Culpe o calor

(Bye bye verão)
Quem se esqueceu
(Bye bye verão)
Sei que não fui eu
(Bye bye verão)
É o que vou fazer
(Bye bye verão)
Com a minha canção sobre você

Sem palavras
Você me parece assim
Quieto desespero

E eu minto
De um Jack Daniel's, outro amor
Não vou dar trela pro seu ego

Se não souber o que for,
Culpe o calor

(Bye bye verão)
Deixe-se acordar
(Bye bye verão)
Deixe o vento levar
(Bye bye verão)
É o que vou fazer
(Bye bye verão)
Com a minha canção sobre você

Bye Bye Verão
