AGES 14 ā 18
āThe Sea Is A Good Place To Think Of The Futureā by Los Campesinos!
āAt fourteen her mother died in a routine operation / From allergic reaction to a general anesthetic / Spent the rest of her teens experimenting with prescriptions / In a futile attempt to know more than the doctors / She said one day to leave her / Sand up to her shoulders / Waiting for the tide / To drag her to the ocean / To another seaās shore / This thing hurts like hell / But whatād you expect? / [...]ā āā
āBaby I Got The Death Rattleā by Los Campesinos!
āWe burnt all the skin from the palm of my hand / With an old zippo lighter and a deodorant can / I went to the palmist and asked her to read / No heart-line / No sun-line / No lifeline / No need. / Said all that I wanted was a quiet life / Not one predetermined by minuscule slices / Into my flesh and the broad she agreed / One look in my sad eyes / She had to concede.ā
āDrugstore Dietā by Anarbor

āThe Sea Is A Good Place To Think Of The Futureā by Los Campesinos!
āBest known left wrist, right finger through all the Southern states / On every video gameās machine / They call her triple A / There were racists on the radio trying to give up smoking / The talkshow host / He joked /Ā āYou have to wait for the government programā / You talk about your politics / And I wonder if you could be one of them / But you could never kiss a Tory Boy without wanting to cut off your tongue again / [...]ā āā
āThe A Teamā by Ed Sheeran
āAnd they scream /Ā āThe worst things in life come free to usā /Ā āCause weāre just under the upper hand / And go mad for a couple grams / But she donāt want to go outside tonight / And in her pipe she flies to the Motherland / Or sells love to another man / Itās too cold outside for angels to fly.ā
āHouse of the Rising Sunā by The Animals
āThere is a house in New Orleans / They call the Rising Sun / Itās been the ruin of many a poor girl / And god, I know Iām one.ā [ok theĀ āgirlā part was a part of the original poem that they modified into a song ā this is literally a song about a prostitute]
āAināt No Rest For the Wickedā by Cage the Elephant
āāIf you pay the right price / Your evening will be nice / And you can go and send me on my wayā / I said /Ā āYouāre such a sweet young thing / Why you do this to yourself?ā / She looked at me and this is what she said /Ā āAināt no rest for the wicked / Money donāt grow on trees / I got bills to pay / I got mouths to feed / Aināt nothing in this world for free.āā
PRESENT
āThe ā59 Soundā by The Gaslight Anthem
āI wonder which song theyāre gonna play when we go / I hope itās something quiet and minor and peaceful and slow / When we float out into the ether / Into the Everlasting Arms / I hope we donāt hear Marleyās chains we forget in life.ā
"Hurtā by Nine Inch Nails
āThe needle tears a hole / The old familiar sting / Try to kill it all away / But I remember everything / What have I become, my sweetest friend? / Everyone I know goes away in the end / You could have it all / My empire of dirt / I will let you down / I will make you hurt.ā
āGoodbye To A Worldā by Porter Robinson
āThank you / Iāll sayĀ āgoodbyeā soon / Though itās the end of the world / Donāt blame yourself, now / And if itās true / I will surround you / And give life to a world / Thatās our own.ā
āCoda: A Burn Scar in the Shape of the Sooner Stateā by Los Campesinos!
āRun the water ātil it scalds you / Know that Iām listening / Pitter patter runs the shower, hits the bare porcelain / Watch the dirt run down the plughole where an echo exits / [...] An artistās impression of the Manhattan skyline / And a soon to be burn scar / In the perfect shape of the Sooner State.ā
āThe Sea Is A Good Place To Think Of The Futureā by Los Campesinos!
āA good place to look to the future is when you are sat at the sea / With the salt up to your ankles and a view at the end of the pier / And you may look down at your modelās feet and wish that youād just float away / And the weather here is overcast and the sea is the same shade of grey / So the landscape before you looks just like the edge of the world / But to the left side and the right side / Either way is a crazy golf-course! / The sea is a good place to think of (about) the future. / And all you can hear is the sound of your own heart / And all you can feel is your lungs flood and the blood course / And, oh, I can see five-hundred years dead-set ahead of me / Five-hundred behind / A thousand years in perfect symmetry.ā
