Gogol Bordello - Start Wearing Purple

I think I’m in love.

Start wearing purple, wearing purple
Start wearing purple for me now
All your sanity and wits they will all vanish
I promise, it’s just a matter of time…

So yeah, ha

Start wearing purple, wearing purple (da da da da da)
Start wearing purple for me now
All your sanity and wits they will all vanish
I promise, it’s just a matter of time…

I’ve known you since you were a-twenty, and I was twenty,
And thought that some years from now
A purple little little lady will be perfect
For dirty old and useless clown…

So yeah, ha

Start wearing purple, wearing purple (da da da da da)
Start wearing purple for me now
All your sanity and wits they will all vanish
I promise, it’s just a matter of time…

So yeah, I know it all from Diogenes to Foucault
From Lozgechkin to Passepartout
I ja kljanus obostzav dva paltza
Schto muziko poshla ot zvukov mu!…

Start wearing purple, wearing purple (da da da da da)
Start wearing purple for me now
All your sanity and wits they will all vanish
I promise, it’s just a matter of time…

So Vio-Vio-Violetta! Etta! Va-va-va-vaja dama ti moja!
Eh podayte nam karetu, vot etu, i mi poedem k ebenjam!

So yeah, ah start wearing purple, wearing purple
Start wearing purple for me now
All your sanity and wits, they will all vanish
I promise, it’s just a matter of time!…


Ingrid Michaelson - Corner of Your Heart

There’s a corner of your heart for me
There’s a corner of your heart just for me
I will pack my bags just to stay in the corner of your heart
Just to stay in the corner of your heart
Just to stay in the corner of your heart

There is room beneath your bed for me
There is room beneath your bed just for me
I will leave this town just to sleep underneath your bed
Just to sleep underneath your bed

There’s one minute of your day
There’s one minute of your day
There’s one minute of your day
I will leave this man just to occupy one minute of your day
Just to occupy one minute of your day

Just to sleep underneath your bed

Just to stay in the corner of your heart


Ingrid Michaelson - Breakable

Have you ever thought about what protects our hearts?
Just a cage of rib bones and other various parts.
So it’s fairly simple to cut right through the mess,
And to stop the muscle that makes us confess.

And we are so fragile,
And our cracking bones make noise,
And we are just
Breakable, breakable, breakable girls and boys.

You fasten my seatbelt because it is the law.
In your two ton death trap I finally saw,
A piece of love in your face that bathed me in regret.
Then you drove me to places I’ll never forget.

And we are so fragile,
And our cracking bones make noise,
And we are just
Breakable, breakable, breakable girls and boys.

And we are so fragile,
And our cracking bones make noise,
And we are just
Breakable, breakable, breakable girls…
Breakable, breakable, breakable girls…
Breakable, breakable, breakable girls and boys.


The Cure - The Perfect Girl

You’re such a strange girl
I think you come from another world
You’re such a strange girl
I really don’t understand a word

You’re such a strange girl
I’d like to shake you around and around
You’re such a strange girl
I’d like to turn you all upside down

You’re such a strange girl
The way you look like you do
You’re such a strange girl
I want to be with you

I think I’m falling
I think I’m falling in
I think I’m falling in love with you
With you


Sweeney Todd

There’s a hole in the world like a great black pit
And it’s filled with people who are filled with shit.
