The Radio Dept. - Your Father
Lesser Matters (2003)

The fire caught us burning with desire to get out in the open
My daddy had a camera and he caught a few moments to show them
The fire took us higher
We were hoping to expire when you came in with water.

We were only kids when we first laid eyes on each other
Everything was great but you should have warned me about your father
At first he took the crap
But I soon learned not to even bother with your father.

Now that you’re away I’m jerking off every day to your memory
You finding someone else was a real blow
Who will defend me?
I’m drinking every day but try to behave the same way I did before
But it’s hard
It’s oh so hard.

فلة الجزائرية - تشكرات

سنين سنين بعد غيابك عدت ودارالزمن
قسما عظما لولا بيا نارما ابدي اسفا مهما تم وصار
وابكي ندما عاللي باع اسراريترك بيا الما خلى عقلي طار
تشكرات افندم جروحي جوق وزال
تشكرات افندم عن روحي غيم وزال
تشكرات افندم تشكرات
تشكرات افندم حياتي صارت عال
تشكرات افندم عن روحي غيم وزال
تشكرات افندم تشكرات
قلبي وصابه زلزال

Jessie Ware - Something Inside
Devotion (2012)

Dreamy haze come blind me
To take me where the tide lines will find me
Underneath and in between
Smiled up you come for me I see you

Offer me something inside
A place to go, a place to hide
Offer me something inside

Come along,look down below
I want to go everywhere you go
You know the best I catch my breath
So steal me,take me in I want you

Offer me something inside
A place to go, a place to hide
Offer me something inside

Let me run,let me feel like someone
I can see your face I can find you
Let me run,let me feel like someone
I can hear my name, and I’m on my way
Let me run,let me feel like someone
I will see your face, I will find you
Let me run,let me feel like someone
I can hear my name, and I’m on my way
Let me run,let me feel like someone
I will see your face, I will find you
Let me run,let me feel like someone
I can hear my name, and I’m on my way
Let me run,let me feel like someone
I will see your face, I will find you

Offer me something inside
A place to go, a place to hide
Offer me something inside

Lykke Li - Unrequited Love
Wounded Rhymes (2011)

Once again it’s happening
Oooh, this love is unrequited

Twice the pain the suffering
Oooh, my love is unrequited
Oooh, my love is unrequited

That must mean I’ll live again
And get back what I gave my men
Get back what I lost to them

Oh, the shame this crying game
Oh, my love I’ve been denied it
Oh, my love is unrequited

And I know it so well
I could play it by ear
Looking back at myself
While the violin plays
And blue is my tune
Another stitch to my wound
Another inch in this dwell
I know it all too well
When once again it’s happening

Oh, our love has gone divided
Oooh, my love is unrequited…

The Radio Dept. - What Will Give?
Pet Grief (2006)

Bloody but unbowed
You turn to face the crowd
How can you bring yourself to even care?
Show me a weakness if you dare

What will give?
Be sensitive
Keep it pure, be secretive
Of this I’m sure
How I want to hide
Like Jandek before playing live

You fell on deaf ears after screaming cheers
You’d seen it all before
In your mind
You saw it all before
In your mind.
