...once you were in my rearviewmirror

RVM by Pearl Jam

I took a drive today.
Time to emancipate.

I guess it was the beatings, made me wise.
But I'm not about to give thanks or apologize.

I couldn't breathe.
Holding me down.
Hand on my face.
Pushed to the ground.
Enmity gauged.
United by fear.
Forced to endure what I could not forgive.

I seem to look away.
The wounds in the mirror waved.
It wasn't my surface.
Most defiled.

Head at your feet.
Fool to your crown.
Fist on my plate.
wallowed it down.
Enmity gauged.
United by fear.
Tried to endure what I could not forgive.

Oh, once you were in my Rearviewmirror.
I gathered speed from you fucking with me.
Once and for all I'm far away.
Hard to believe.
Finally the shades are raised.
Saw things so much clearer once you, once you...
Rearviewmirror.

...You are one in a million

Flowers in the Window by Travis

When I first held you I was cold

A melting snowman I was told
But there was no-one there to hold
Before I swore that I would be alone forever more

Wow, look at you now
Flowers in the window
It's such a lovely day
And I'm glad you feel the same
'cause to stand up out in the crowd
You are one in a million
And I love you so, let's watch the flowers grow

There is no reason to feel bad
But there are many seasons to feel glad, sad, mad
It's just a bunch of feelings that we have to hold
But I am here to help you with the load

So now were here and now is fine
So far away from there
And there is time, time, time
To plant new seeds and watch them grow
So there'll be flowers in the window when we go

Another sunny day, I met you up in the garden...

Another Sunny Day by Belle & Sebastian

Another sunny day, I met you up in the garden

You were digging plants, I dug you, beg your pardon
I took a photograph of you in the herbaceous border
It broke the heart of men and flowers and girls and trees

Another rainy day, we're trapped inside with a train set
Chocolate on the boil, steamy windows when we met
You've got the attic window looking out on the cathedral
And on a Sunday evening bells ring out in the dusk

Another day in June, we'll pick eleven for football
We're playing for our lives the referee gives us fuck all
I saw you in the corner of my eye on the sidelines
Your dark mascara bids me to historical deeds

Everybody's gone you picked me up for a long drive
We take the tourist route the nights are light until midnight
We took the evening ferry over to the peninsula
We found the avenue of trees went up to the hill
That crazy avenue of trees, I'm living there still

There's something in my eye a little midge so beguiling
Sacrificed his life to bring us both eye to eye
I heard the Eskimos remove obstructions with tongues, dear
You missed my eye, I wonder why, I didn't complain
You missed my eye, I wonder why, please do it again

The lovin is a mess what happened to all of the feeling?
I thought it was for real; babies, rings and fools kneeling
And words of pledging trust and lifetimes stretching forever
So what went wrong? It was a lie, it crumbled apart

What does this city have to offer me?

Let's Get out of this Country by Camera Obscura

Let’s get out of this country

I’ll admit I am bored with me
I drowned my sorrows and slept around
When not in body at least in mind
We’ll find a cathedral city
You can convince me I am pretty

We’ll pick berries and recline
Let’s hit the road dear friend of mine
Wave goodbye to our thankless jobs
We’ll drive for miles maybe never turn off
We’ll find a cathedral city
You can be handsome, I’ll be pretty

What does this city have to offer me
Everyone else thinks it’s the bee’s knees
What does this city have to offer me?
I just can’t see

Let’s get out of this country
I have been so unhappy
Smell the Jasmine my head was turned
I feel like getting confessional
We’ll find a cathedral city
You can convince me I am pretty
