Eli's Song
'Teenage Icon' - The Vaccines

Oh look at me, so ordinary
No mystery, with no great capabilities, but
I could make out as if I had it, but you know
God, I'm so obvious and I should let it go
Oh, I don't know, oh

I'm no teenage icon
I'm no Frankie Avalon
I'm nobody's hero

Reserved and shy, your average guy
No piercing stare, just out of shape with messy hair, but
I always figured I was somebody in wait
And now I'm guessing that my moment must be late
'Cause I'm here, oh

I'm no teenage icon
I'm no Frankie Avalon
I'm nobody's hero

I'm not magnetic or mythical
I'm suburban and typical
But I got it, I got it
I'm overrun with it all

Seductive charm, a way with words
So effortless, not leather clad or dangerous, but
I always did it like a real rebel would
I have a photo where John Lennon may have stood
Or so I'm told, oh

I'm no teenage icon
I'm no Frankie Avalon
I'm nobody's hero

Eli's Song II
'Upright' - Pain

The Argonauts always intrigued me-- they typified every man
Happy unless something popped up that wasn't part of the plan
But there'd been no pretention of plans from the start
So why did they go? Were they stupid or slow?
They were so cocky and sure at the start of the show

But when the sails hung flat and the Argo just sat
Or the rocks came crashing or the water ran low
When Hercules split, and Jason admitted he didn't know where to go, he said:

"You can whine until your mouth dries up
You can hang your head and wonder why
You can die, or you can stand upright
And never go down again"

Sisyphus always intrigued me; he never decided to stop
The point of it lay in the trying and not in attaining the top
... granted, he didn't have much of a choice
But neither do you, and neither do I
And neither do you, and neither do I

But even Mr. Moneybags on the hill
Has never stopped pushing, and he never quite will
We're not just here to see how hard we try, but the way we try, and it ain't no lie

Well, you can whine until your mouth dries up
You can hang your head and wonder why
You can die, or you can stand upright
And never go down again!
(Let's go!)

So I'm making up songs in my head to the cadence of seams in the road
Most of them suck-- it kills time, though; we've got a freaking long way to go
But our hearts are strong, and our minds intact
And we're never gonna stop, and that's a big, fat fact
A little cream in my coffee and a good CD
Making everybody sing along with me:

Well, you can whine until your mouth dries up
You can hang your head and wonder why
You can die, or you can stand upright
And never go down again!

Well, you can whine until your mouth dries up
You can hang your head and wonder why
You can die, or stand upright
And never go down again
And never go down again

Hulimon's Song
'Kiss My Sass' - Cobra Starship ft. Travie McCoy

They say that kid, he's got...

I'm bringing sassy back
And everything that you thought, you can forget
'Cause y'all know nothing but my name
And I don't wanna hear about people I don't know
Not you, not him, not her, no

You only see what I let you see
Nothing less, and nothing more
What you say is nothing new to me
Honestly...

They say that kid, he's got soul
I'm everywhere that you go
And I've been there, seen that, and I ain't taking you home
No

And I ain't gonna lie-- I can be a nasty guy
So you should probably sit
'Cause yeah my words come kinda quick
And if you don't get it let me repeat it: just forget what you thought

Only see what I let you see
Over and over again
What you say is nothing new to me
Honestly...

They say that kid, he's got soul
I'm everywhere that you go
And I've been there, seen that, and I ain't taking you home, no
But what do they know?
I'm everywhere that you go, and I still got soul
And I've been there, seen that, and I ain't taking you home
No

They say that kid he's got more soul than Flight Club
Can't you tell by the way I use my walk?
Travie stay way cooler than the hand that Luke had
Got a bite twenty times worse than my bark
Yeah, took a little time but I'm finally here
Ten years deep just to make things clear
Now I'm doubled up throwing double B's in the air
Go get it off your chest like a tight brassiere
Don't regret it, just let it, give credit, don't sweat it.

You can try but you just can't stop
Fangs up, cobra style

Honestly...

I'm everywhere that you go
And I've been there, seen that and I ain't taking you home

Hulimon's Song II
'Roll Me Through the Gates of Hell' - Mischief Brew

I am a leader, but you will not follow me
I ain't no preacher, for I'm full of blasphemy
See you in hell, boys!
See you in hell, boys!

Like an angel who'd been dancing with some devils
I'm a bad girl with a hope for better days
My laughter is spiced with mischief
I won't toss the salt, kiss it up, or pray

When you offer pink or blue, I'll take the blackest
When you offer only two, I'll offer three
When you point me in a direction, I'll run backwards
And at the border of utopia, I'll toast to anarchy

'Cause fire and rock, I'm coming home to you
I'm picking the bones out of my dinner stew
Open up the gates of hell and roll me through
Fire and rock, I'm coming home to you

I am a leader, but you will not follow me
I ain't no preacher, for I'm full of blasphemy
See you in hell, boys!
See you in hell, boys!

So you're saying satan's army is rising up soon
Well if it is, I'm the secretary of no state
Got wrenches, rocks, and bottles in my toolpouch
My desire is society's jail-bait

'Cause there's tons of guys a-mopin' 'bout the work day
Dimes by the dozen, their song weighs a thousand pounds;
But there's nothing like a lady with a buzz-saw
I just might build your house, but I just might tear it down

'Cause fire and rock, I'm coming home to you
I'm picking the bones out of my dinner stew
Open up the gates of hell and roll me through
Fire and rock, I'm coming home to you

I am a leader, but you will not follow me
I ain't no preacher, for I'm full of blasphemy
See you in hell, boys!
See you in hell, boys!

Yes, barkeep, I will surely have another
To the witches, to the goblins and the trolls
I'll be coming to recruit your rebel children
There ain't no use in locking doors; there's one of me in every home

With mud on my boots and blood on my jeans
I'll take those pretty dresses, tear them at the seams
Roll me through the gates of hell, ah, please
And I'll be back in your daughter's dreams

I am a leader, but you will not follow me
I ain't no preacher, for I'm full of blasphemy
See you in hell, boys!
See you in hell, see you in hell, boys, see you in hell!
See you in hell, boys!

Duet
'Float On' - Modest Mouse

I backed my car into a cop car the other day
Well, he just drove off-- sometimes life's okay
I ran my mouth off a bit too much, oh, what did I say
Well, you just laughed it off, it was all okay

And we'll all float on okay
And we'll all float on okay
And we'll all float on okay
And we'll all float on anyway

Well, a fake Jamaican took every last dime with that scam
It was worth it just to learn from sleight of hand
Bad news comes, don't you worry, even when it lands
Good news will work its way to all them plans
We both got fired on exactly the same day
Well we'll float on, good news is on the way

And we'll all float on okay
And we'll all float on okay
And we'll all float on okay
And we'll all float on
Alright, already, we'll all float on
No, don't you worry, we'll all float on
Alright, already, we'll all float on
Alright, don't worry we'll all float on

(Alright, already)
And we'll all float on
Alright, already, we'll all float on
Alright, don't worry, even if things end up a bit too heavy
We'll all float on
Alright, already, we'll all float on
Alright, already, we'll all float on
Okay, don't worry, we'll all float on
Even if things get heavy, we'll all float on
Alright, already, we'll all float on
(Alright) Don't you worry we'll all float on
(Alright) All float on

Duet II
'Kill Your Heroes' - AWOLNATION

Well, I met an old man dying on a train
No more destination, no more pain
Well, he said, "one thing, before I graduate:
Never let your fear decide your fate"

I say you kill your heroes and fly, fly, baby, don't cry
No need to worry, 'cause everybody will die
Every day we just go, go, baby don't go
Don't you worry, we love you more than you know

Well the sun one day will leave us all behind
Unexplainable sightings in the sky
Well, I hate to be the one to ruin the night
Right before your, right before your eyes

I say you kill your heroes and fly, fly, baby, don't cry
No need to worry, 'cause everybody will die
Every day we just go, go, baby don't go
Don't you worry, we love you more than you know

Well, I met an old man dying on a train
No more destination, no more pain
Well, he said, "one thing, before I graduate:
Never let your fear decide your fate"

I say you kill your heroes and fly, fly, baby, don't cry
No need to worry, 'cause everybody will die
Every day we just go, go, baby don't go
Don't you worry, we love you more than you know
