Road to Somewhere - Goldfrapp

Walking down the Mercer St
Been a long hot summer
Rain like daggers coming
Down on me
Get a feeling it's too late
But alone, together, could
Be we might start it up
Allover again

Dream, dream you're not
Too late
Sweet road to somewhere else

Listen to the radio
Are you calling?

3 o'clock I'm on my way
On the road to somewhere
Little clouds like wounds
That blow away
Listening to the radio like a
Friend that guides me
Playing out every song
We used to know

Dream, dream you're not
Too late
Sweet road to somewhere else

Listen to the radio
Are you calling?

Bring it on
Come along
On the road to somewhere
Take our time
See the signs
On the road to somewhere

Pinky and The Brain

Brain: Thanks for agreeing to meet with me; I really feel you're the only one who can help. You see, after five years of unsuccessful attempts at world domination, I finally figured out where I was going wrong.
Pinky: Brain! Time to walk the sponge again!
Brain: In short, I need a new partner, one whose might is equal to my intellect. In return, I'm willing to let you have all of northern Europe.
Superman: You're kidding, right?
[Later]
Pinky: He turned you down, didn't he?
Brain: Who asked you?!

***

Verminator: Hear me now, and listen laater. You are maaking me very aaangry. I don't need any fancy veapons. I vill destroy you vith my bare haands.
Pinky: Oh no, Brain, what'll we do? He has a bear named Hans!

***

Brain: The 24-hour deadline has passed, yet there has been no message from Earth! It is most curious. Perhaps I was too lenient.
Pinky: Either that or everyone's gone back to reading books.

***

Brain: Are you pondering what I'm pondering?
Pinky: I think so, Brain, but instant karma's always so lumpy.

***

Brain: Are you pondering what I'm pondering?
Pinky: Whoof, oh, I'd have to say the odds of that are terribly slim, Brain.
Brain: True.
Pinky: I mean, really, when have I ever been pondering what you've been pondering?
Brain: To my knowledge, never.
Pinky: Exactly. So, what are the chances that this time, I'm pondering what you're pondering?
Brain: Next to nil.
Pinky: Well, that's exactly what I'm thinking, too.
Brain: Therefore, you are pondering what I'm pondering.
Pinky: Poit, I guess I am!

A & E - Goldfrapp

It's a blue, bright blue Saturday, ay, ay
And the pain has started to slip away, ay, ay
I'm in a backless dress on a pastel ward, the shining.
Think I want you still but it may be pills at work

Do you really wanna know how I was dancing on the floor?
I was trying to phone you when I'm crawling up the door
I was amazed at you, the things you say that you don't do
Why don't you ring?

I was feeling lonely, feeling blue
Feeling like I needed you
Like I'm waking up surrounded by me
A&E

It's a blue, bright blue Saturday, ay, ay
And the pain has started to slip away, ay, ay
I'm in a backless dress on a pastel ward that's shining
Think I want you still but it may be pills at work

How did I get to accident emergency?
All I wanted was you to take me out high

I was feeling lonely, feeling blue
Feeling like I needed you
Like I hoped you'd call and hoped you'd see me
A&E

52 - Week 1

"It began the way that all important things begin – by chance."

"The wedding was in the country. Big house. Smart Party. We were looking forward to an early Midsummer Night’s Dream with bluebells and fairies and love like a rope knotted round the girth of the earth. Love wrapped round life. Life held safe inside a vow – I do.

Such an active verb…

I was half-wishing it might be me – in white, in love, insured against the future. Someone to call my own, though I know you can’t own anybody, but I am a bit of a stray dog with nothing written on my tag, and sometimes, when I walk past those key-cutting places that do engraving for pets, I think it wouldn’t be so bad to have your number on one side and my name on the other…"

"My mother’s only piece of personal life coaching was ‘lie back and think of cabbage.' My father likes to say ‘if in doubt, risk it.’ There were not compatible.

Perhaps I have been on the cabbage side of life for too long. All right, risk it."

Underneath - Alanis Morisette

Look at us break our bonds in this kitchen
Look at us rallying all our defenses
Look at us waging war in our bedroom
Look at us jumping ship in our dialogues

There is no difference in what we're doing in here
That doesn't show up as bigger symptoms out there
So why spend all our time in dressing our bandages
When we've the ultimate key to the cause right here, our underneath

Look at us our form our cliques in our sandbox
Look at us micro kids with both our hearts blocked
Look at us turn away from all the rough spots
Look at dictatorship on my own block

There is no difference in what we're doing in here
That doesn't show up as bigger symptoms out there
So why spend all our time in dressing our bandages
When we've the ultimate key to the cause right here, our underneath

How I've spun my wheels with carts before my horse
When shine on the outside springs from the root
Spotlight on these seeds of simpler reasons
This core, born into form, starts in our living room

There is no difference in what we're doing in here
That doesn't show up as bigger symptoms out there
So why spend all our time in dressing our bandages
When we've the ultimate key to the cause right here, our underneath

The Dumbing Down of Love — Frou Frou

Well painted passion
You rightly suspect
Impersonation
The dumbing down of love
Jaded in anger
Love underwhelms you
No box of chocolates
Whichever way you fall
And if I tell you
Lover alone without love
What will happen
Lover alone without love
Will you miss him?
Lover alone without--without love
No, no I'll get this
I want to treat you
You're still not famous
And you haven't struck it rich
Underachieving
'Cause no one's receiving
This tunnel vision
It's turning out all wrong
And if I tell you
Lover alone without love
What will happen
Lover alone without love
Will you miss him?
Love alone without, without love
Music is worthless, unless it can
Make a complete stranger
Break down and cry
And if I tell you
Lover alone without love
And what will happen
Lover alone without love
And will you listen
Lover alone without, without love
Without love
Without love

Things you say when falling

Down, down, down. Would the fall NEVER come to an end! `I wonder how many miles I've fallen by this time?' she said aloud. `I must be getting somewhere near the centre of the earth. Let me see: that would be four thousand miles down, I think--' (for, you see, Alice had learnt several things of this sort in her lessons in the schoolroom, and though this was not a VERY good opportunity for showing off her knowledge, as there was no one to listen to her, still it was good practice to say it over) `--yes, that's about the right distance--but then I wonder what Latitude or Longitude I've got to?' (Alice had no idea what Latitude was, or Longitude either, but thought they were nice grand words to say.)
