1. Fuck and Run - Liz Phair - Exile from Guyville.
1. I woke up alarmed
   I didn't know where I was at first
   Just that I woke up in your arms
   And almost immediately I felt sorry
   'Cause I didn't think this would happen again
   No matter what I could do or say
   Just that I didn't think this would happen again
   With or without my best intentions, and
   What ever happened to a boyfriend
   The kind of guy who tries to win you over, and
   What ever happened to a boyfriend
   The kind of guy who makes love cause he's in it
2. Nothing Better - The Postal Service - Give Up
1. (Ben Gibbard)
   Would someone please call a surgeon
   Who can crack my ribs and repair this broken heart
   That you're deserting for better company
   
   I can't accept that it's over
   And I will block the door
   Like a goalie tending the net
   In the third quarter
   Of a tied game rivalry
   
   So just say how to make it right
   And I swear I'll do my best to comply
   
   Tell me am I right to think that there could be nothing better
   Than making you my bride and slowly growing old together
   
   (Jen Wood)
   I feel I must interject here
   You're getting carried away
   Feeling sorry for yourself
   With these revisions and gaps in history
   
   So let me help you remember
   I've made charts and graphs
   That should finally make it clear
   I've prepared a lecture
   On why I have to leave
   
   So please back away and let me go
   
   (Ben Gibbard)
   I can't my darling; I love you so
   (Both)
   Oh oh
   (Ben Gibbard)
   Tell me am I right to think that there could be nothing better
   Than making you my bride and slowly growing old together
   (Jen Wood)
   Don't you feed me lies about some idealistic future
   Your heart won't heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures
   (Ben Gibbard)
   I know that I have made mistakes
   And I swear I'll never wrong you again
   (Jen Wood)
   You've got allure I can't deny
   But you've had your chance
   So say goodbye
   
3. Portions for Foxes - Rilo Kiley - More Adventurous
1. There's blood in my mouth cause
   I've been biting my tongue all week
   I keep on talking trash
   But I never say anything
   And the talking leads to touching
   And the touching leads to sex
   And then there is no mystery left
   
   I know I'm alone
   If I'm with or without you
   But just being around you
   Offers me another form of relief
   When the loneliness leads to bad dreams
   And the bad dreams lead me to calling you
   And I call you and say "come here!"
   
   Cause you're just damage control
   For a walking corpse like me, like you
   
   Cause we'll all be portions for foxes
   Yeah we'll all be portions for foxes
   And you're bad news, my friends tell me to leave you
   And you're bad news, I don't care I like you
   I like you
4. Bye Bye Blackbird - Joe Cocker - Sleepless in Seattle Soundtrack
   
1. Pack up all my care and woe
   Here I go, singing low
   Bye bye blackbird
   Where somebody waits for me
   Sugar's sweet, so is she
   Bye bye blackbird
   No one here can love or understand me
   Oh what hard luck stories they all hand me
   Make my bed and light the light
   I'll arrive late tonight
   Blackbird, bye bye
5. Close to Me - the Cure - The Head on the Door
1. I've waited hours for this
   I've made myself so sick
   I wish I'd stayed
   asleep today
   
   I never thought this day would end
   I never thought tonight could ever be
   this close to me
   
   just try to see in the dark
   just try to make it work
   to feel the fear before you're here
   I make the shapes come much too close
   I pull my eyes out
   hold my breath
   and wait until I shake...
   
   but if I had your faith
   then I could make it safe and clean
   if only I was sure
   that my head on the door was a dream
   
6. Angeles - Elliott Smith - Either/Or
1. Someone's always coming around here trailing some new kill
   Says I seen your picture on a hundred dollar bill
   And what's a game of chance to you, to him is one of real skill
   So glad to meet you
   Angeles
   
   Picking up the ticket shows there's money to be made
   Go on and lose the gamble that's the history of the trade
   You add up all the cards left to play to zero
   And sign up with evil
   Angeles
   
   Don't start me trying now
   Cause I'm all over it
   Angeles
   
   I could make you satisfied in everything you do
   All your secret wishes could right now be coming true
   And be forever with my poison arms around you
   
   No ones gonna fool around with us
   No ones gonna fool around with us
   So glad to meet you
   Angeles
   
   
7. Fidelity - Regina Spektor - Begin to Hope
1. I never loved nobody fully
   always one foot on the ground
   and by protecting my heart truly
   I got lost in the sounds
   .
   
8. You Know I'm No Good - Amy Winehouse - Back to Black
1. Meet you downstairs in the bar and heard
   Your rolled up sleeves and your skull t-shirt
   You say what did you do with him today?
   And sniff me out like I was Tanqueray
   
   Cause you're my fella, my guy
   Hand me your stella and fly
   By the time I'm out the door
   You're tear men down like Roger Moore
   
   Upstairs in bed, with my ex boy
   He's in the place, but I can't get joy
   Thinking on you in the final throes, this is when my buzzer goes
   
   I cheated myself, like I knew I would
   I told ya, I was trouble You know that I'm no good
   
   
9. First Day of My Life - Bright Eyes - I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning
1. This is the first day of my life
   Swear I was born right in the doorway
   I went out in the rain
   Suddenly everything changed
   They're spreadin' blankets on the beach
   
   Yours is the first face that I saw
   Think I was blind before I met you
   
   Remember the time you drove all night
   Just to meet me in the morning
   And I thought it was strange
   You said everything changed
   You felt as if you'd just woke up
   And you said,
   But now I don't care I could go anywhere with you
   And I'd probably be happy.
   
   So if you wanna be with me
   With these things there's no telling
   We just have to wait and see
   But I'd rather be working for a paycheck
   Than waiting to win the lottery
   
   Besides maybe this time it's different
   I mean I really think you like me...
   
   
10. The Bachelor and the Bride - The Decemberists - Her Majesty the Decemberists 2003
1. There's a wrinkle in the water
   where we laid our first daughter
   And I think the wind blows so sweetly there
   
   "But I" said the bachelor to the bride
   "Am not waiting for tonight.
   No, I will box your ears
   and leave you here stripped bare."
   And his fingers are they telling
   of the barren of her belly
   And his callouses cure her furrowed brow
   even now
