44. Lemon Eyes - Meg Myers

Third time is a charm for Meg. She scored her first top 5 on my chart with this Super catchy Alternative/PopRock track.

Peak: 5
Wks: 20
Album: Sorry
Track: 7
Genre: Alternative



lyrics:
Hush now baby, there's no need to cry
Let me wipe away those lemon eyes
All your worries, such a waste of time
You can't even see how much you're mine

You're so bitter, bitter. Bitter, yellow
Settle, settle, got to settle, down okay
Listen, you listen, you listen, yellow
It's a killer, a killer, a killer, jealousy

Lemon eyes, you're mine
Yellow eyes, all mine
I bet you wanna walk away, run away, look away, turn away
Honey you can't hide
Lemon eyes, all mine

Hold on baby, careful what you say
You've been drinking someone else's pain
I can't keep on staring at the sun
Yellow, I will have to bite your tongue

You're so bitter, bitter. Bitter, yellow
Settle, settle, got to settle down okay
Listen, you listen, you listen, yellow
It's a killer, a killer, a killer, jealousy

Lemon eyes, you're mine
Yellow eyes, all mine
I bet you wanna walk away, run away, look away, turn away
Honey you can't hide
Lemon eyes, all mine

(All mine)

And the doctor said you're fine (all fine)
Just a case of lemon eyes (all fine)
See I told you were mine (all mine)
(Lemon eyes)

Lemon eyes, you're mine
Yellow eyes, all mine
I bet you wanna walk away, run away, look away, turn away
Honey you can't hide
Lemon eyes, all mine

43. This Is The Love - Spandau Ballet

One of my absolute favorite songs of the year, hit my chart; not once, but twice, finally peaking at #4. It's the first of two songs; from 80s icons, Spandau Ballet.

Peak: 4
Wks: 18
Album: The Story – The Very Best of Spandau Ballet
Track: 17
Genre: New Romantic



lyrics:
This is the love
This is the love

I was miles away
Lost within another day
Stepping out with feet of clay to get by
Couldn't buy more time
Couldn't even spin a dime
And then the world went all sublime
You went by

This is the love
This is the love
This is the love
This is the love

I was waiting on a train
That wouldn't come again
Then you passed like summer rain
Now this is the love

These streets were all I knew
Couldn't find a map to you
No one could tell me what to do
I was right
These walls we built will hide
Somehow you could touch the sky
You torn the roof right off the line
Now we fly

This is the love
This is the love
This is the love
This is the love

I was working on a scheme
To build a warm love
Now I'm looking at a dream
This is the love

When the lights turning blue
And the radio's off
There are songs in my head
And the frequence is strong
When time runs away
And the days don't seem long
You know that you fell
We want to belong
Sing your song

I was waiting on a train
That wouldn't come again
Then you passed like summer rain
Now this is the love

This is the love
This is the love
This is the love
This is the love

When the lights turning blue
And the radio's off
There are songs in my head
And the frequence is strong

When the lights turning blue
And the radio's off
There are songs in my head
And the frequence is strong

When the lights turning blue
And the radio's off
There are songs in my head
And the frequence is strong

42. Cut The Cord - Shinedown

Ah, yes; from the romantic soothing sound of Spandau Ballet, to the Hard Rocking Metal grinding sounds of Shinedown. This was one of my infamous "Summer Slaughter" songs of 2015. Shame on the Alt charts for peaking it below the top 30.

Peak: 5(2)
Wks: 18
Album: Threat to Survival
Track: 2
Genre: Hard Rock



lyrics:
(Freedom, la la la la)
(Freedom, follow me)
(Freedom, la la la la)
(Freedom) Cut it!
(Freedom, la la la la)
(Freedom, follow me)
(Freedom, la la la la)
(Freedom)

Let me tell you, I'm vicious
Not pass-aggressive
I got my finger on my pulse, staring straight into a hole and I get it
And I'm a savage
It's automatic
I got a way of making noise, the power to destroy with no static

Cause victory is all you need
So cultivate and plant the seed
Hold your breath and count to ten, just count to ten

I'm gonna make it rain, so ring the bell
I know it all too well
Switchblade on the edge of your wrist
Can I get a witness? (Witness)
Cause agony brings no reward
For one more hit and one last score
Don't be a casualty, cut the cord

(Freedom, la la la la)
(Freedom, follow me) Cut the cord
(Freedom, la la la la)
(Freedom)

You gotta feel courage
Embrace possession
If it was easier to shatter everything that ever mattered
But it's not, because it's your obsession
Be a fighter, backbone, desire
Complicated and it stings, but we both know what it means
And it's time to get real and inspired

Cause victory is all you need
So cultivate and plant the seed
Hold your breath and count to ten, just count to ten, just count to ten

I'm gonna make it rain, so ring the bell
I know it all too well
Switchblade on the edge of your wrist
Can I get a witness? (Witness)
Cause agony brings no reward
For one more hit and one last score
Don't be a casualty, cut the cord

Cut it
Cut it

Cause victory is all you need
So cultivate and plant the seed
Hold your breath and count to ten, just count to ten

I'm gonna make it rain, so ring the bell
I know it all too well
Switchblade on the edge of your wrist
Can I get a witness? (Witness)
Cause agony brings no reward
For one more hit and one last score
Don't be a casualty, cut the cord
Don't be a casualty, cut the cord

(Freedom, la la la la)
(Freedom, follow me) Cut the cord
(Freedom, la la la la)
(Freedom, follow me, me, me)

41. Congregation - Foo Fighters

The one good thing that came from Nirvana was Foo Fighters. The band is never far from my year end charts. This song here, is one of my personal rock favs of the year.

Peak: 5(3)
Wks: 18
Album: Sonic Highways
Track: 3
Genre: Hard Rock


Thought I'd treat you all to a live version of this epic Rocker.


lyrics:
Well, I met the seventh son
He came for everyone
The day he heard the lighting in the field
I heard him clear his throat
A fork within the road
That night the Tallahatchie took the wheel

I’ve been throwing knives
To see just where they land
Now my world is in your hands

Send in the congregation
Open your eyes, step in the light
A jukebox generation
Just as you were

The voice upon the stage
Is the heart inside a cage
And they’re singing like a bluebird in the round
There’s mystery in this wood
And ghosts within these roots
That are tangled deep beneath this southern ground

I’ve been going through life
Making foolish plans
Now my world is in your hands

Send in the congregation
Open your eyes, step in the light
A jukebox generation
Just as you were

And you need blind faith
No false hope
No false hope
Do you have blind faith?
No false hope
No false hope
Where is your blind faith?

No false hope
No false hope
Open your eyes, open your eyes
Step into the light
Open your eyes, step into the light
The sound becomes

Congregation
A congregation
A congregation, yeah
And they're singing like a bluebird in the round

Getting ready to post my top 40 songs of 2015.

40. English Girls - The Maine

...and the Third Eye Blind/Stroke 9/ Nine Days vibe of the year goes to...

Peak: 8
Wks: 30
Album: American Candy
Track: 4
Genre: Alt Power Pop



lyrics:
The girls are crying
On the corner
Because the boys all left
And they've had too much to drink

We're in London
Mid October
He's convinced the blonde by the bar
Just gave him a wink
And the words he spoke
Left me in disbelief

He said,
"Smoke whatever you've got left,
It's getting late and
We don't have much to lose"
Well she said,
"English girls they just like sex"
I couldn't believe when he said,
"I've got news for you
American boys do too."

(American boys do too)

Her face went red as
The words left his tongue and
She rolls up a cigarette
And he strikes a paper match

I can tell his pouring honey
Into her ear as
Us teenage kids were getting pissed
On cider and black

Pins her against the wall
Tells her she's beautiful
She says she's going home
That's when he said...

"Smoke whatever you've got left,
It's getting late and
We don't have much to lose"
Well she said,
"English girls they just like sex"
I couldn't believe when he said,
"I've got news for you
American boys do too."

And that boy he is a drifter
Tomorrow he'll be far away
And the moment
Before he kissed her

Pins her against the wall
Tells her she's beautiful
She says she's going home
That's when he said...

"Smoke whatever you've got left,
It's getting late and
We don't have much to lose"
And then she said,
"English girls they just like sex"
I couldn't believe when he said,
"I've got news for you
(All these) American boys do too."

(American boys do too)
(American boys do too)

Tell me what you want
What you like
It's okay
I'm a little curious, too
Tell me if it's wrong
If it's right
I don't care
I can keep a secret, can you?

Got my mind on your body and your body on my mind
Got a taste for the cherry, I just need to take a bite

Don't tell your mother
Kiss one another
Die for each other
We're cool for the summer
(Ha)
Ooh, ooh

Take me down into your paradise
Don't be scared 'cause I'm your body type
Just something that we wanna try
'Cause you and I
We're cool for the summer

Tell me if I won
If I did
What's my prize?
I just wanna play with you, too
Even if they judge
f**k it
I'll do the time
I just wanna have some fun with you

Got my mind on your body and your body on my mind
Got a taste for the cherry, I just need to take a bite

Don't tell your mother
Kiss one another
Die for each other
We're cool for the summer
(Ha)
Ooh, ooh

Take me down into your paradise
Don't be scared 'cause I'm your body type
Just something that we wanna try
'Cause you and I
We're cool for the summer

We're cool for the summer
We're cool for the summer

Shh... don't tell your mother

Got my mind on your body and your body on my mind
Got a taste for the cherry, I just need to take a bite

(Don't be scared)Don't be scared 'cause I'm your body type
Just something that we wanna try (wanna try)
'Cause you and I (you and I)
We're cool for the summer

37. Mercy - Muse

Another huge hit for Muse was the second official single off "Drones". I still believe it should have gone; at least, top 5 ;on the Actual ,Alt charts.

Peak: 3
Wks: 19
Album: Drones
Track: 4
Genre: Alternative



lyrics:
Help me
I've fallen on the inside
I tried to change the game
I tried to infiltrate
But now I'm losing men in cloaks
Always seem to run the show
Save me from the ghosts and shadows
Before they eat my soul

Mercy, mercy
Show me mercy
From the powers that be
Show me mercy
Can someone rescue me

Absent gods and silent tyranny
We're going under hypnotised
By another puppeteer
And tell me why the men in cloaks
Always have to bring me down
Running from the ghosts and shadows
The world just disavows

Mercy, mercy
Show me mercy
From the powers that be
Show me mercy
Can someone rescue me

Show me mercy
Show me mercy please

Help me
I've fallen on the inside
And all the men in cloaks
Trying to devour my soul

Show me mercy
From the powers that be
Show me mercy
From the gutless and mean
Show me mercy
From the killing machines
Show me mercy
Can someone rescue me

36. Too Late To Cry - ItaLove

Swedish band who have contrubuted greatly to the Italo Disco reboot in Europe. Being a huge fan of 80s High Energy music; I immediately loved thier Italo vibe. This was also a big underground hit in Mexico dance clubs.

Peak: 3(2)
Wks: 19
Album: "Too Late To Cry" single
Track: 1
Genre: Italo Disco




lyrics:
I’m watching the starlight , its your eyes in my mind
I’m stuck in a moment, when I should be somewhere else
Where I’m not sailing in an ocean of emotions
I’m caught in a daydream escaping from myself

But no one’s waiting for me
it’s time to say goodbye
to all my sweet delusions
well that I can’t disguise

It’s too late to cry
the music has stopped
but I want to dance
You still make me high
I need one more chance
and I will survive
It’s too late to cry
cry
It’s too late to cry

Some people tell me, that it’s magic though it’s tragic
I still see your shadow in the window where I go
life in slow motion where Im stuck in a devotion
I’m caught in a daydream forgetting what I know

and no one’s waiting for me
it’s time to say goodbye
to all my sweet delusions
well that I can’t disguise

It’s too late to cry
the music has stopped
but I want to dance
You still make me high
I need one more chance
and I will survive
It’s too late to cry

cry

It’s too late to cry

34. Dancing On Nails - We Are Harlot

Easily; my favorite new Hard Rock band of 2015. Their brand of rock wouldn't sound out a place at all during the Glam/Hair metal crazy of the late 80s. Dr. Indie says: "We Need more "cowbell" in today's Rock n Roll"

Peak: 4(2)
Wks: 22
Album: We Are Harlot
Track: 1
Genre: Hard Rock



lyrics:
I saw you come in from across the room
With that look in your eye
Imagination running wild
I'm doomed to a good morning-good bye
You got me sick and I can't find the remedy
Your breath against my neck, it grabs a hold of me
I lost control I feel it in my bones
There's something telling me to stop but I just can't say no
Oh I just can't say no

You got something worth exploring
I must be crazy, you got me feelin' like I'm dancing on nails

Infatuated with the way you move
when all the lights go down
The smell of sex is all it takes and you
you let the animal out
There's no resisting all those things you do to me
That raw seduction only you can guarantee
I've lost control, I feel it in my bones
there's something telling me to stop but I just can't say no
I just can't say no

You got something worth exploring
I must be crazy, you got me feelin' like I'm dancing on nails

I like the way you sway
with every beat we're getting closer to just slipping away
You run me right off the rails
you got me feeling like I'm dancing on nails

You got something worth exploring
I must be crazy, you got me feelin' like I'm dancing on nails
You got something worth exploring
I must be crazy, you got me feelin' like I'm dancing on nails

Track: 18
Genre: New Romantic



lyrics:
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
I, I need something
No, no don't rush it
Hold on to the mood
It's part of the mystery
From giving into this

Help, help I'm calling
I, I, I'm falling
Together we'll make
All that we are meant to be
And I'm giving into this

Take what you're after
Take what you want
Trap me with laughter
Smash me with sore
You know how I feel
So come along and steal

I, I, I'm stalling
You, you come calling
Like a thief in the night
You're wrapped up in mystery
And I'm giving into this

Take what you're after
Take what you need
Find me the answer
I want to concede
Oh, you know how I feel
So come along and steal

Let the night break out into a million stars
Then everything I held you
Suffer and dispel dear
I was holding on to something
Is never going far

I, I need something
No, no don't rush it
Hold on to the mood
It's part of the mystery
And you're giving into this
It's part of the mystery
And you're giving into this

So come on and steal
Let the night break out into a million stars
Then everything I held you
Suffer and dispel dear
I was holding on to something
Is never going far

Take what you're after
Take what you want
Trap me with laughter
Smash me with sore
You know how I feel
So come along and steal

Come on and steal
Come on and steal

Come along and steal
Come on and steal
Just, just, just, just
Come on and steal
Just, just come along and
Just, just
Come on and steal
Come on and steal

32. Come Together - Echosmith

This was the song that caught my attention right after "Cool Kids" for it's pop rock sound. It is also my second favorite song from the band so far.

Peak: 4
Wks: 26
Album: Talking Dreams
Track: 1
Genre: Indie Pop Rock


The song's video, is an ode to the 1985 John Hughes Blockbuster; coming of age film "Breakfast Club"

lyrics:
Here we are, with our backs against the wall.
We've got big city dreams, but we don't move from the asphalt.
We run away, from our own imagination.
But at the same time, we've got this amazing fascination.

We've got hopes on the horizon.
We can't stop from climbing the mountain.
We're sick and tired of keeping silent.
We are, we are, we are,

We are gonna come together.
We're gonna come together now.
We are gonna run together.
We're gonna turn it upside down.
'Cause with the smoke in the mirror, I can't see your face.
So let's run to the fire escape.
Come together,
We're gonna come together now.

Who are they, with their so-called innovations?
They hold on, like they found their own salvation.
They shy away, from the slightest alteration.
But at the same time, we've got the same fascinations.

We've got hopes on the horizon.
We can't stop from climbing the mountain.
We're sick and tired of keeping silent.
We are, we are, we are,

We are gonna come together.
We're gonna come together now.
We are gonna run together.
We're gonna turn it upside down.
'Cause with the smoke in the mirror, I can't see your face.
So let's run to the fire escape.
Come together,
We're gonna come together now.

Just let go, it's a free fall.
We're almost home, it's a free fall.

We are gonna come together.
We're gonna come together now.
We are gonna run together.
We're gonna turn it upside down.

We are gonna come together.
We're gonna come together now.
We are gonna run together.
We're gonna turn it upside down.

'Cause with the smoke in the mirror, I can't see your face.
So let's run to the fire escape.
Come together,
We're gonna come together now.

Let me sit in your illuminating bones
Swimming to the surface

30. Crystals - of Monsters and Men

A very slow burner on my chart; which only took off after its 15 week on the chart. Then it quickly went top 10.

Peak: 5(2)
Wks: 28
Album: Beneath the Skin
Track: 1
Genre: Indie Alternative/Folk



lyrics:
Lost in skies of powdered gold
Caught in clouds of silver ropes
Showered by the empty hopes
As I tumble down, falling fast to the ground

I know I'll wither so peel away the bark
Because nothing grows when it is dark
In spite of all my fears, I can see it all so clear
I see it all so clear

Whoa-o-o-o, Cover your crystal eyes
And feel the tones that tremble down your spine
Whoa-o-o-o, Cover your crystal eyes
And let your colours bleed and blend with mine

Making waves in pitch black sand
Feel the salt dance on my hands
Raw and charcoal coloured thighs feel so cold
And my skin feels so paper-thin

I know I'll wither so peel away the bark
Because nothing grows when it is dark
In spite of all my fears, I can see it all so clear
I see it all so clear

Whoa-o-o-o, Cover your crystal eyes
And feel the tones that tremble down your spine
Whoa-o-o-o, Cover your crystal eyes
And let your colours bleed and blend with mine

But I'm okay in see-through skin
I forgive what is within
Because I'm in this house
I'm in this home
All my time

Whoa-o-o-o, Cover your crystal eyes
And feel the tones that tremble down your spine
Whoa-o-o-o, Cover your crystal eyes
And let your colours bleed and blend with mine

29. Ciclope - Los Abominables

Probly my favorite new Spanish Rock band. They are more indie than mainstream. "Ciclope" is pure 80s New Wave style. Think of the Cars songs in Spanish. The band consists of four female musicians that all play their instruments and Abulon, from Victimas Del Doctor Cerebro, fame.

Peak: 3
Wks: 22
Album: Recuerdos Del Futuro
Track: 1
Genre: Indie Spanish Rock


Early live version of the song. Also the lyrics changed.

lyrics:
Mi corazón es la prisión
que ningún rayo puede abrir
soy un gigante sin poder
cuando tu estas cerca de mi

Soy como un cíclope
que te contempla
desde montañas místicas

OHHHH OHHH
OHHHH OHHH

El cosmos es gris sin ti

OHHHH OHHH

OHHHH OHHH

El cosmos es gris sin ti

Una erupción provocaras
y sin fuerzas me dejaras
templos marcianos destruiré
cuando sepa que ya no estas

Soy como un cíclope
que te contempla
desde montañas místicas

OHHHH OHHH
OHHHH OHHH

El cosmos es gris sin ti

OHHHH OHHH
OHHHH OHHH

El cosmos es gris sin ti

28. Every Breaking Wave - U2

2015 was another great year for 80s icons comebacks. This song right here. Wow! Could have been "With Or Without You" part 2

Peak: 3(3)
Wks: 20
Album: Songs of Innocence
Track: 2
Genre: Alternative Rock


The vevo video has too much backround noise. Ruins the song for me.

lyrics:
Every breaking wave on the shore
Tells the next one "there'll be one more"
And every gambler knows that to lose
Is what you're really there for

Summer I was fearless
Now I speak into an answer phone
Like every fallen leaf on the breeze
Winter wouldn't leave it alone, alone

[Chorus:]
If you go...
If you go your way and I go mine
Are we so...
Are we so helpless against the tide?
Baby, every dog on the street
Knows that we're in love with defeat
Are we ready to be swept off our feet
And stop chasing every breaking wave?

Every sailor knows that the sea
Is a friend made enemy
Every shipwrecked soul knows what it is
To live without intimacy

I thought I heard the captain's voice
But it's hard to listen while you preach
Like every broken wave on the shore
This is as far as I could reach

[Chorus]

The sea knows where are the rocks
And drowning is no sin
You know where my heart is
The same place that yours has been
We know that we fear to win
And so we end before we begin
Before we begin

27. Dead Inside - Muse

Monster fist single from the "Drones" album that took all charts by storm. The band never seizes to amaze me.

Peak: 2
Wks: 20
Album: Muse
Track: 1
Genre: Alternative Rock



lyrics:
Dead inside!

Revere a million prayers
And draw me into your holiness
But there's nothing there
Light only shines from those who share

Unleash a million drones
And confine me then erase me babe
Do you have no soul
It's like it died long ago

Your lips feel warm to the touch
You can bring me back to life
On the outside you're ablaze and alive
But you're dead inside

You're free to touch the sky
Whilst I am crushed and pulverised
Because you need control
Now I'm the one who's letting go

You like to give an inch
Whilst I am giving infinity
But now I've got nothing left
You have no cares and I'm bereft

Your skin feels warm to caress
I see magic in your eyes
On the outside you're ablaze and alive
But you're dead inside!

Feel me now
Hold me please
I need you to see who I am
Open up to me
Stop hiding from me
It's hurting babe
Only you can stop the pain

Don't leave me out in the cold
Don't leave me out to die
I gave you everything
I can't give you anymore
Now I've become just like you

My lips feel warm to the touch
My words seem so alive
My skin is warm to caress
I'll control and hypnotise

You've taught me to lie
Without a trace
And to kill with no remorse
On the outside I'm the greatest guy
Now I'm dead inside!

26. The Ground Walks With Time In A Box (album version) - Modest Mouse

Most of us who love this band; Asked the question? Why wasn't this a bigger hit? This had Top 5 written all over it and the majority agreed. Shame on Billboard.

Peak: 2
Wks: 20
Album: Strangers to Ourselves
Track: 6
Genre: Alternative Rock


I do love the video. I just wished they had used the 6:12 version.

lyrics:
Open up the window,
All the air, oh the air is falling out.
Eyes vacuum up light;
Sound gets trapped by the mouth
We'll deal with the remainder when the dents,
The dents get hammered out.
Then we'll travel through time.

The world's an inventor with it's work
Crawlin, runnin, squirmin 'round.
Trees drop colorful fruits
Directly into our mouths.
The world's an inventor,
We're the dirtiest thing it's thought about...
And we really don't mind.

We'll probably never get there,
Bring your sightseer school teachers down.
It's a water color weekend,
All the trees are turning colors now.
We'll probably never get there,
Bring your candy taster, time wasters around
And we'll f**k with their minds.

The world composes with his
Shirt tails wrinkled hangin' out
Bang us together see what sort
Of sounds we make right now.
The world plays music
Playing skin on teeth inside of a mouth
What sort of sounds?
What lovely sounds come about?

We greased all the ropes, (The part of the ground)
We'll throw you a line. (that's above the ground.)
We're gonna break these boulders, (We're the part of the ground,)
We're gonna pull things out. (that when things come together,)

We greased all the ropes, (come bubbling outwards)
We'll throw you a line. (and then sink back.)
We're gonna break these boulders, (Come bubbling outwards)
We're gonna travel time. (when things come together.)

We're gonna throw a party.
All the ghosts of trees are coming out,
Don't look any direction,
Wait until the light's inside of the clouds.
You're gonna wanna see this;
Don't bring your camera around.
Watch sun and sawdust align.

We greased all the ropes, (Come bubbling outwards)
We'll throw you a line. (then sinking back.)
We're gonna break these boulders, (The part of the ground,)
We're gonna pull things out. (that when things come together,)

We greased all the ropes, (come bubbling outwards,)
We'll throw you a line. (gets above the ground,)
We're gonna break these boulders, (come bubbling outwards,)
We're gonna travel time. (and then sink back.)

Close up the window!
All the air - all the air is falling out.
Eyes vacuum up light
Sound gets trapped by the mouth.
Our predecessor left this box
And something's clawing around,
I think it really wants out.

23. She Keeps Me Up - Nickelback

I'll chart indie this and indie that, but I will always reserve a space on my charts for Nickelback. Even this Disco-ish poppish song of their's was pretty irresistible to me.

lyrics:
She's got me nervous
Talkin' a hundred miles an hour
She's more than worth it
I swear she smells just like a flower
I'd fall to pieces if I went anywhere without her
I love when she says "what's wrong with right here on the counter?"

Funky little monkey, she's a twisted trickster
Everybody wants to be the sister's mister
Coca-Cola rollercoaster
Love her even though I'm not supposed to.
Funky little monkey, she's a twisted trickster
Everybody wants to be the sister's mister
Coca-Cola rollercoaster
Love her even though I'm not supposed to.

She keeps me up (I keep you up)
She keeps me up (I keep you up)
All night (All night)
All night (All night)
She keeps me up (I keep you up)
She keeps me up (I keep you up)
All night (All night)
All night (All night)

I need her so bad,
Sometimes I feel like I can taste it
This evil romance
So good I never wanna waste it
I can't trust my friends
'Cause she's what everybody chases
I know where she's been
'Cause it's on everybody's faces

Funky little monkey, she's a twisted trickster
Everybody wants to be the sister's mister
Coca-Cola rollercoaster
Love her even though I'm not supposed to.
Funky little monkey, she's a twisted trickster
Everybody wants to be the sister's mister
Coca-Cola rollercoaster
Love her even though I'm not supposed to.

She keeps me up (I keep you up)
She keeps me up (I keep you up)
All night (All night)
All night (All night)
She keeps me up (I keep you up)
She keeps me up (I keep you up)
All night (All night)
All night (All night)

I never wanna have to slow down
Got to be a better way to come down
I've gotta stay awake some how

I never wanna have to slow down
Got to be a better way to come down
I've gotta stay awake some how

Funky little monkey, she's a twisted trickster
Everybody wants to be the sister's mister
Coca-Cola rollercoaster
Love her even though I'm not supposed to.
Funky little monkey, she's a twisted trickster
Everybody wants to be the sister's mister
Coca-Cola rollercoaster
Love her even though I'm not supposed to.

She keeps me up (I keep you up)
She keeps me up (I keep you up)
All night (All night)
All night (All night)

She keeps me up (I keep you up)
She keeps me up (I keep you up)
All night (All night)

Brother and Sister duo from New Zealand; who's follow up to "Bridges" was an ever bigger hit on my charts. The captivating heavenly vocals of Georgia Nott are so poweful in this song. .

lyrics:
The nights are getting shorter
I don’t know where they go
And I am getting older
And it's starting to show

And ever since I left my mother
It’s much harder to know
How to make my own life here
How to make my own home

I don’t want to wake up lonely
I don’t want to just be fine
I don't want to keep on hoping
Forget what I have in mind
I don’t want to wake up lonely
I don’t want to just be fine
I don't want to keep on hoping
Forget what I have in mind
Forget what I have in mind

I remember the time when a kiss on the hand was enough
Cause we knew we were free
And we knew what it meant to be loved

But ever since I left my father
It’s much harder to know
How to live my own life here
When all I need is home

I don’t want to wake up lonely
I don’t want to just be fine
I don't want to keep on hoping
Forget what I have in mind
I don’t want to wake up lonely
I don’t want to just be fine
I don't want to keep on hoping
Forget what I have in mind
Forget what I have in mind

As faces start to fade
They’re slipping through my hands
It's where my heart was made
And my feet will always land

I don’t want to wake up lonely
I don’t want to just be fine
I don't want to keep on hoping
Forget what I have in mind
I don’t want to wake up lonely
I don’t want to just be fine
I don't want to keep on hoping
Forget what I have in mind
Forget what I have in mind

Don't wanna live as an untold story
Rather go out in a blaze of glory

I'll live now cause the bad die last
Dodging bullets with your broken past
I can't hear you, I don't fear you now

Wrapped in your regret
What a waste of blood and sweat
Oh oh oh

I wanna taste love and pain
Wanna feel pride and shame
I don't wanna take my time
Don't wanna waste one line
I wanna live better days
Never look back and say
Could have been me
It could have been me
Yeah

Don't wanna live as an unsung melody
I'd rather listen to the silence telling me
I can't hear you, I won't fear you
Don't wanna wake up on Monday morning
The thought of work's getting my skin crawling
I can't fear you, I don't hear you now

Wrapped in your regret
What a waste of blood and sweat
Oh oh oh

I wanna taste love and pain
Wanna feel pride and shame
I don't wanna take my time
Don't wanna waste one line
I wanna live better days
Never look back and say
Could have been me
It could have been me
Yeah

Hey
I wanna taste love and pain
Wanna feel pride and shame
Don't wanna take my time
No
Don't wanna waste one line
Hey Hey
Wanna live better days
Just better
Never look back and say
Could have been me
It could have been me
It could have been me
It could have been me

I wanna taste love and pain
Wanna feel pride and shame
Don't wanna take my time
No
Don't wanna waste one line
Hey Hey
Wanna live better days
Just better
Never look back and say
Could have been me

19. Can't Deny My Love - Brandon Flowers

First single off his second solo effort did next to nothing on the Alternative charts. However, it did go to #1 on my chart.

lyrics:
Open up to the night
Our bed is underneath the heavy moon
Cast a doubt like a shadow walking
Through the corners of the room

I always thought I'd have a full tank to go
(But not tonight, you're running low)
I always thought I'd find my own way
What's going on in your head now
Maybe something I said,
I know that you've been living in the past
What's going on in your head now
Maybe something I said now

It's driving me crazy
You can try to lie
But you're not gonna, not gonna deny
No you're not gonna, not gonna deny my love
And you can run to the hillside
And you can close your eyes
But you're not gonna, not gonna deny
No you're not gonna, not gonna deny my love
You can't deny my love

The eyes of God
Watching over us so we don't break the golden rules
The seven seas, have we learned
Or are we sailing on a ship of fools
I always thought I'd have a full tank to go
(But not tonight, you're running low)
I always thought we'd get there someday

It's driving me crazy
And you can try to lie
But you're not gonna, not gonna deny
No you're not gonna, not gonna deny my love
And you can run to the hillside
And you can close your eyes
But you're not gonna, not gonna deny
No you're not gonna, not gonna deny my love
You can't deny my love

When you close your eyes, tell me what you see
Locked up in your room is there any room for me
In the spoils of your mercy, in the reverence of your bed
In the cradle of the morning what was it that you said

What's going on in your head now

You're not gonna, not gonna deny
No you're not gonna, not gonna deny my love
And you can run to the hillside
And you can close your eyes
But you're not gonna, not gonna deny
No you're not gonna, not gonna deny my love
You can't deny my love, my love

What's underneath the moon and stars
What's underneath our clothes we are
Hiding what we wanna share
Take my hand I'll take you there

There's a call in the wild
There's a snake in your bed
And it's telling you something
Listen

Yeah I like it like that
When you're feeling lonely
Go help yourself
Do whatever you desire
Go

Throw your arrows
Hit her heart
If they don't react
Love who loves you back
The perfect storm
What turns you on
You can have all that
Love who loves you back
Turn me on turn me on turn me on
Turn me on turn me on
Love who loves you back
Turn me on turn me on
Love who loves you back
Turn me on turn me on
Love who loves you back

What's real we have to squint to see
Lean in closer next to me
Count to three and lose control
If you like it let me know

There's a call in the wild
There's a snake in your bed
And it's telling you something
Listen

Yeah I like it like that
When you're feeling lonely
Go help yourself
Do whatever you desire
Go

Throw your arrows
Hit her heart
If they don't react
Love who loves you back
The perfect storm
What turns you on
You can have all that
Love who loves you back
Turn me on turn me on turn me on
Turn me on turn me on
Love who loves you back
Turn me on turn me on
Love who loves you back
Turn me on turn me on

Some are small
Some are tall
Some are born with it all
Some are in it for the kill
Some just do it for the thrill
Archers aim your perfect mark
And throw

Throw your arrows
Hit her heart
If they don't react
Love who loves you back
The perfect storm
What turns you on
You can have all that
Love who loves you back
Turn me on turn me on turn me on
Turn me on turn me on
Love who loves you back
Turn me on turn me on
Love who loves you back
Turn me on turn me on
