2008 lyric choices

Here's a list of songs I pulled lines from:

the big star is falling, through the static and distance = Magnolia Electric Co, Farewell Transmission

you should follow me down. there's no color and no sound in a black and white town

= Doves, Black and White Town

with two cats in the yard life used to be so hard

= Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Our House

what begins as an unguarded train of thoughts slowly can become an addition to slumber

= School of Seven Bells, Half Asleep

the hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new land to fight the horde, and sing and cry: Valhalla I am coming! = Led Zeppelin, Immigrant Song

oh baby you, you've got what I need, but you say he's just a friend = Biz Markie, Just a Friend

don't leave a key underneath that mat for me
= The Postmarks, Goodbye

but she didn't know how fortune swings, the price you pay when disaster sings = Firekites, Same Suburb Different Park

we burnt to the ground left a grave to admire = Beirut, Sunday Smile

patience is a virtue until its silence burns you = TV on the Radio, Love Dog

and then they show me a world where I can be so dependable, clinical, intellectual, cynical = Supertramp, The Logical Song

he can't believe the love I give is not enough to end your fears = Phoenix, Too Young

hand let go of his with ease n' grace, don't let him bleed under your nails

= Emiliana Torrini, Hold Heart

I was good with names, I had a way with faces

= Destroyer, European Oils

snowshoes and hunters carried the curtail for you

= Midlake, Young Bride

and if you really want to shake it off, you've got to re-arrange us = Mates of State, The Re-arranger

no escape from the circling place

= The Notwist, Where in this World

and ricochet on how I need you

= Sea and Cake, Crossing Line

forgot to carry the zero

= Built to Spill, Carry the Zero

they are intelligent; they are smarter than the most up-to-date supercomputers, we cannot underestimate them = Man or Astroman, Theme from Eeviac
