Hooked on Phonics: A NaNo Playlist for Among the Infidels

by Caligula's Launderette


Hooked on Phonics: a NaNo Playlist for Among the Infidels [by Sam]

First thing that you should know is that this is a massive NaNo playlist—which is different from my regular fanmixes in that it’s a playlist and in this case seven discs long. You’ve been warned. It's really, really, really, really, reaally, long.

:wink:

So, on the fun stuff. This is a playlist for Sam’s NaNo Novel: Among the Infidels or, The Lovely Moon's Encroachment into the Lands of Disbelief. As for the music, each part is in a zip, but if you want just a few songs I can put that together as well. If you have any trouble with anything, please tell me.

DISCLAIMER: SOME OF THESE SONGS CONTAIN EXPLICIT LYRICS & ADULT SITUATIONS

Because this mix is so huge, all of the lyrics and such will be in a spoiler cut.

On to the mix.

Ta,

Cal.

I made two different covers.

[ZIP: An Impossible Act]

[spoiler]1. I Don't Want to Live Today by Ape Hangers

I woke up this morning to a filthy sky above

I didn't wanna get out of my bed

When I was dreamin', I was so in love

So in love, I wish that I was dead

Can you dig it?

I don't feel good

I feel really sick

I think I might have even shit my pants

I'm shakin', kids,

I'm shakin', oh, right out of my skin

I can't find the strength I need to stand

Can you help me? Can you help me?

2. Happy Boys and Girls by Aqua

I don’t wanna waste my time on simple little things

I’d rather stay here all the night with everyone who sings.

3. Horsemen by The Bees

He was thinking like a madman;

He was jealous on his own.

And the sooner he figures

That he wont be going home.

They left him the front key

Post it in when you go.

Gave that man just one more chance

To prove that there's no more.

4. You Remind Me of Home by Ben Gibbard

The paint cracks when the water leaks

from the rusty pipes that are just beneath my feet—

You remind me of home.

The heater's warm but fills the room

with a potpourri of dust and gas fumes.

5. Here We Are (Family in the Hallways) by The Appleseed Cast

with false fronts and shattered dreams

we dont care all we are,

all we are is watching,

all we are is crazy,

we are standing all alone

on a road to nowhere;

there’s a place for all of this.

6. D is for Dangerous by Arctic Monkeys

He's nearing the brink, but he thinks first

The parallel universe perhaps could be the perfect scene.

Today will be wonderful.

9. The Bat’s Mouth by Bat for Lashes

And the dancing centaur queen flies past

Her tiny tiny teeth

And he is kind, and she is free and wants to show him.

10. The General Specific by Band of Horses

In a showing of hands, who's going back to the south?

Where hungry necks that I know

In running the blender in a lightning storm

And knowing ahead, there comes a fork in the road,

Pants have got to go.

We're on an island on the Fourth of July,

It looks like the tide is going home.

11. War Pigs by Black Sabbath

Generals gathered in their masses

Just like witches at black masses;

Evil minds that plot destruction,

Sorcerers of death's construction.

As the war machine keeps turning.

Take my call.

Looking everywhere, I see nothing but people,

Looking everywhere, but I see nothing but people.

Where have they gone?

16. Re: Stacks by Bon Iver

This my excavation and today is kumran,

Everything that happens is from now on.

This is pouring rain,

This is paralyzed.

I keep throwing it down two-hundred at a time,

It's hard to find it when you knew it.

When your money's gone

And you're drunk as hell.

On your back with your racks as the stacks as your load.

17. I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance with You by Black Kids

18. Textbook Love by Fleet Foxes

You were wondering if I'd walk you home

Even though I lived on the opposite side,

I said sure I don't need to home soon anyway,

Hold my little hand baby.

19. Man With No Country by Flogging Molly

For once in this life

I better do something right—

But I'm caught in a world that won't stop burnin',

That won't stop burnin'.

There is no place in this room for the dark,

So scatter the bones that's left of the old.

3. Flightless Bird, American Mouth by Iron & Wine

I was a quick wet boy

Diving too deep for coins.

And called for you everywhere.

Have I found you?

Are you mad at your walls?

[...]

Even a bird would want a taste of dirt from abyssal dark

The prick of a feather could make a kingdom burn and the bloodshed start

If she's going under I can hold my breath till the sky comes back

Or drown like a rat, rat, rat

He's a rat!

I'm taking up praying on Sunday nights,

And it's not that I believe in your all might—

As insurance or bail.

And you've been in the desert underneath the charging sky:

It's just you and God

But what if God's not there?

There is danger at the door.

Oh, oh all I want to know is are you kind?

[…]

God damn, I declare have you seen the like?

Their walls are built with cannon balls,

Their motto is don't tread on me.

Come hear Uncle John's band playing to the tide,

Come on along or go alone,

He's come to take his children home.

It's the same story the crow told me,

Ain't no time to hate, barely time to wait,

Oh oh all I want to know where does the time go.

But we'll do it anyway cause we love a bit of trouble.

the princes of the paupers,

and all the old showstoppers,

till this moment's still unknown.

Rain is falling to the ground praying all the hopes

Are found.

About as subtle as an earthquake, I know,

My mistakes were made for you.

And it's as solid as a rock rolling down a hill,

The fact is that it probably will hit something,

On the hazardous terrain.

And we're just following the flock,

Around and in-between,

Before we're smashed to smithereens.

But don't give in,

Because when the miles are far between,

And a lily against your breast;

There's something o'er the hills I must attend.

6. Things That Scare Me by Neko Case

You ran straight through the snow

Shut your eyes to see, but you didn't see me

13. Lost! By Coldplay

Just because I’m hurting

Miss Teen Wordpower.

Fingers clasp and teenage misidenties collapse into an annual disguise,

It’s the closest thing to life they've felt so far.

9. Three Long Afternoons by Beatbeat Whisper

I saw you were standing there

a fistful of sand said you’d never leave from this place

where we had played for three long afternoons.

The broken sticks were bent and covering

a roof of gold we’d had imported from Spain

let’s keep on playing for three more days…

And you saw me like a starling swimming

through the leaves they’re turning

colored shades and you turned me into yesterday.

Armed with an oath, “I am no enemy”

they’re hiding with swords and waiting to break at the seams

but I can see right through their cloak-screens.

10. The Youth by MGMT

With each step I take

20. The New Year by Death Cab for Cutie

So this is the new year

And I have no resolutions

For self-assigned penance

For problems with easy solutions

So everybody put your best suit or dress on

Let's make believe that we are wealthy for just this once

Lighting firecrackers off on the front lawn

As thirty dialogues bleed into one

I wish the world was flat like the old days

Then I could travel just by folding a map

No more airplanes, or speed-trains, or freeways

There'd be no distance that can hold us back[/spoiler]

I don't sleep 'til it's light.

5. Whippin' Piccadilly by Gomez

We got lovely posters for sale.

6. Cape Canaveral by Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band

Please, please, please sister Socrates,

You always answer with a question;

Show some kindness to a petty thief,

Forgive, you did forgive.

7. Sunken Waltz by Calexico

washed my face in the rivers of empire

made my bed from a cardboard crate

down in the city of quartz

no news, no new regrets

tossed a Susan B. over my shoulder

and prayed it would rain and rain

submerge the whole western states

8. Tous les garcons et les filles by Francoise Hardy

tous les garçons et les filles de mon âge

se promènent dans la rue deux par deux

tous les garçons et les filles de mon âge

savent bien ce que c'est d'être heureux

et les yeux dans les yeux et la main dans la main

ils s'en vont amoureux sans peur du lendemain

English Translation-ish

all boys and girls of my age

walk down the street two by two

all boys and girls of my age

know well what it is to be happy

Their eyes on their eyes, hand in hand

they go on in love without fear of the following day.

9. Campfire Kansas by The Get Up Kids

Our boats collide, we feel the breeze,

We stay afloat and make the most of everything.

By noon we had swung on ropes in the woods,

Missed all dangers, snakes and the floods,

Burned by the rays and next to our legs,

The water so bitter cold.

10. Hopeless Tender by State Radio

Here in the old country she

Grew up just as they said

Trying to make up for what was missing

As the land faded to red

Here in the old country hair falls

Coarsely round their necks

Having your wit about you

Can hurt more than it protects

11. Strange by The Living End

Well I never thought that I was strange

I never thought that I was strange

I always had something to do to think about

They say that some things never change

Well I guess they do 'cos I never thought I was strange

12. Kyoto Death Song by Aberdeen

She’s still beside you.

13. Wolves by The Accidental

She carries unknown things inside her

Like old volumes they will never read without her.

And as the moves get in their heads,

They know that they don't know something without her.

14. Gimmeakiss by The Avett Brothers

So gimme a smile, gimme a while, gimme a mile

Give me just a little bit of your sweet denial

Just give me a smile

I know what you said about me

I think maybe if I had a preachin' judge then I'd forgive you see

So give 'em to me

It won’t take long for me to tell you what I am

You hear my voice right now well that’s pretty much what I am

15. Cloudy by Simon & Garfunkel

Hitchhike a hundred miles;

I'm a rag-a-muffin child.

16. Single Minded Hero by Shelley Short

Days of folly, days of fury.

17. We All Have A Map of The Piano by Mum

Please don't flow this fast

You hold a little hum

I'll bottle sounds of me for you

18. Suffragette City by David Bowie

Oh don't lean on me man, cause you can't afford the ticket

I'm back on Suffragette City

19. Window on the World by Jimmy Buffett

A cup of coffee in a shaky hand

Wakin’ up in a foreign land

Tryin’ to act like I got somethin’ planned

[...]

Could you stand a little closer, girl

Don’t let mama cut those curls

That’s my window on the world

In broad daylight that circus tent

Pulled up stakes, I don’t know where it went

A close dark room with a busted vent

That’s my window on the world

[…]

That’s my window on the world

Could you stand a little closer, girl

The Queen of Sheba meets the Duke of Earle

That’s my window on the world

20. One of These Mornings ft. Patti LaBelle

One of these mornings, won't be very long;

You will look for me, and I’ll be gone.[/spoiler]

I heard you on the wireless back in Fifty Two

Oh-a oh[/spoiler]

Enjoy!

Cal.
