Playlist Cardigan

cardigan - my favorite game

I don't know what you're looking for
You haven't found it baby, thats for sure
You rip me down, you spread me all around
In the dust of the deed of time

And this is no case of lust you see
It's not a matter of you versus me
Its fine the way you want me on your own
But in the end its always me alone

I'm losing my favourite game
You're losing your mind again
I'm losing my baby, losing my favourite game

I only know what I've been working for
Another you so I could love you more
I really thought that I could take you there
But my experiment is not getting us anywhere

I had a vision I could turn you right
A stupid mission in a lethal fight
I should have seen it when my hope was new
My heart is black and my body is blue

And I'm losing my favourite game
You're losing your mind again
I'm losing my favourite game
You're losing your mind again

I'm losing my baby, losing my favourite game
I'm losing my favourite game (losing my favourite)
You're losing your mind again (I try)
I try but you're still the same (I try)
I'm losing my baby
You're losing a saviour and a saint

cardigan - lovefool

Dear, I fear we're facing a problem
You love me no longer, I know
And maybe there is nothing
That I can do to make you do
Mama tells me I shouldn't bother
That I ought to stick to another man
A man that surely deserves me
But I think you do...

So I cry, and I pray, and I beg

Love me, love me
Say that you love me
Fool me, fool me
Go on and fool me
Love me, love me
Pretend that you love me
Leave me, leave me
Just say that you need me
So I cry and I beg for you to
Love me, love me
Say that you love me
Leave me, leave me
Just say that you need me
I can't care 'bout anything but you...

Lately I have desperately pondered,
Spent my nights awake and I wonder
What I could have done in another way
To make you stay
Reason will not lead to solution
I will end up lost in confusion
I don't care if you really care
As long as you don't go

So I cry, I pray and I beg

Love me, love
Say that you love me
Fool me, fool me
Go on and fool me
Love me, love me
Pretend that you love me
Leave me, leave me
Just say that you need me
So I cry and I beg for you to
Love me, love me
Say that you love me
Leave me, leave me
Just say that you need me
I can't care 'bout anything but you...
(Anything but you...)

Love me, love me
(Say that you love me)
Fool me, fool me
(Go on and fool me)
Love me, love me
(I know that you need me)
I can't care 'bout anything but you...

cardigan - heartbreaker

No, not again
oh, what a man
just who I thought that I wanted to have
Oh, don't do that
don't use that bat
that's all it takes to make me falling flat
No, not again
a loser I am
I love you tonight
you are my knight
cure and assure and make me feel alright
tomorrow you'll find
I'm not around
but don't be uptight
'cause I loved you last night

Vacant and free
yeah, that is me
Just tell me how and I'll please you for free
tell me I'm good
I know I'm bad
Lies make me feel fine although it is sad
Oh, not again
not one more man
I love you tonight
you are my knight
cure and assure and make me feel alright
tomorrow you'll find
I'm not around
but don't be uptight
'cause I loved you last night

cardigan - cloudy sky

I'd catch some stars for you
And just for you
I'd paint the grey sky blue
And just for you

So don't tell me you want the rain

From a cloudy sky
To wash away the pain
That i've given you again
I've always tried to find
What satisfies your mind
But i will never know
Where you are to go
But i want you to know
Do you want a golden ring?
I would buy you anything...

I'd read some poems for you
Just for you
I hope they won't make you blue
Like they used to do

Don't tell me you want the rain
Don't tell me you want the rain

cardigan - erase rewind

Hey, what did you hear me say?
You know the difference it makes
What did you hear me say?

Yes, I said it's fine before
But I don't think so no more
I said it's fine before

I've changed my mind
I take it back

Erase and rewind
'Cause I've been changing my mind
Erase and rewind
'Cause I've been changing my mind
I've changed my mind

So, where did you see me go?
It's not the right way, you know
Where did you see me go?

No, it's not that I don't know
I just don't want it to grow
It's not that I don't know

I've changed my mind
I take it back

Erase and rewind
'Cause I've been changing my mind
Erase and rewind
'Cause I've been changing my mind

Erase and rewind
'Cause I've been changing my mind
Erase and rewind
'Cause I've been changing my mind

Erase and rewind
Erase and rewind

I've changed my mind

cardigan - holy love

When you love
I can feel your love
Shooting holes in my stupid pride
When you love
I don't fear your love
Of all the angels you're the most divine

Holy love
You can really have anything you want from me
Anything you ask me to, I'll do
We can live in poverty or prosperity
Anything impossible, I'll try
You can really have everything you ask
And I'll be intimate with you
Giving everything over
To making everything right

Holy love
When you love
I can feel your love
Shooting holes in my stupid pride
When you love
I don't fear your love
Of all the angels you're the most divine
Holy love

You can really make anyone you want of me
Anyone you need tonight, I'll be
Whether you want empathy, animosity
An enemy or company, call me
I can even be nothing if you ask
I'll turn invisible for you
I'm the bird on your shoulder
Singing psalms through the night
Of holy love

When you love
I can feel your love
Throwing rocks through the windows of a monastery
Love
Makes me feel the super extra gravity
Of god, yeah!
And life
When you love
I can feel your love
Of all the angels you're the most divine

cardigan - over the water

Turn away the collar
Because the blowing is dry
Walk away to the harbour
Before your ships will fly
Slip away and the pillow
Because it's falling off down
Trot away and around
Because your ships are found

Somewhere over the water
Next to a harbour
Someone's eager to listen

Turn away the collar
Because the blowing is dry
Walk away to the harbour
Before your ships will fly
Slip away and the pillow
Because it's falling off down
Trot away and around
Because your ships are found

Somewhere over the water
Next to a harbour
Someone to be in...

cardigan - and then you kissed me

man, i've had a few
but they wouldn't quite blow me like you
you gave me your name and signed
with a halo around my eye

and it hit me like never before
that love is a powerful force
yes, it struck me that love is a sport
so i pushed you a little bit more

love, you're news to me
you're a little bit more than i thought you'd be
a mole in my well-fed lawn
you're a nightmare beating the dawn

oh, it hit me like never before
that love is a powerful force
yes, it struck me that love is sport
so i pushed you a little bit more

Blue, blue, black and blue
red blood sticks like glue
true love is cruel love
red blood's a power-fuel
sweet love, tasty blood
my heart overfloods

oh you hit me!
yeah, you hit me really hard
man, you hit me!
yeah you hit me right in the heart

lord, i've had my deal
but i never quite knew how it feels
when love makes you wake up sore
with fists that are ready for more

and it hit me that love is a game
like in war no one can be blamed
yes, it struck me that love is a sport
so i pushed you a little bit more

oh, blue, blue, black and blue
red blood sticks like glue
true love is cruel love
red blood's a power fuel
sweet love tasted blood
my heart overfloods

man, you hit me!
yeah you hit me really hard
baby, you hit me!
yeah you punched me right in the heart
and then you kissed me...

and then you hit me...

oh, you haunt me with your violent heartbeat at night
oh, you strike me with your silence baby, tonight
why you haunt me with your violence baby, come hit me!

cardigan - don t blame your daughter

Don't blame your daughter
That's just sentimental
And don't blame your mum
For all that you've done wrong
Your daddy's not guilty
You came out a little faulty
And the factory closed
So you can't hold them liable
You come from an island
You're cutting diamonds
With a rubber knife

Your autograph's worthless
So don't send me letters
And don't mail me cash
'Cause your money is no good
What's left in your mattress
Is holes that lack of love left
Some hair from a horse
And none of it is yours, man
You come from an island
You're cutting diamonds
With a rubber knife

And the song you sing today
Wasn't always in your head
The words you try to say
Are the ones you should've said
They're glistening like diamonds
Go out and find them
But don't blame your daughter

Read me your tombstone
Tell me you're sorry
Fax me your will
You owe me something still
Blood is like water
The bath that you poured me
Has drained and is gone
Don't blame it on your son

And the song you sing today
Wasn't always in your head
The words you try to say
Are the ones you should've said
They're glistening like diamonds
Go out and find them, boy!

The world is full of diamonds
Go out and find them
But don't blame your daughter

cardigan - i figured out

He showed me around
To be found alone
He cleaned his room
On his own to be known

So, i figured out
With no doubt
What he was about
In his room
On his own

You say "don't worry"
But did you ever see us
What he does, bothers
You say "don't worry"
But did you ever see us
What he does, bothers...

cardigan - in the round

I am young and I'm alive
I want to talk about things
I am young and I own my life
I need to talk about it, baby

I am one but I asked for two
I didn't get anything
This puppet's lonely without you
It's tough to walk without strings

I do my dance in the round

I'm right on track but this state is frail
You slip out and derail

I do my dance in the round
So people clap your hands
Clap your hands

I wanna do it right this time
I wanna step in time
I wanna do it right this time, yeah!

Clap your hands

I gotta get it right this time
I wanna step in time
I wanna do it right this time

I do my dance in the round

I am young, coming at you live
People gonna talk about me
When I'm done, please hang me high
For everybody to see

'Cause I do my dance in the round
So people clap your hands

I wanna get it right
I'm dyin' to get it right
I wanna get it right
I'm dyin' to get it right

(clap your hands)

cardigan - junk of the hearts

We never chose to part
In this stupid play
And I never felt by heart
That I could behave
The way the roles were made

I know that I've done you wrong
But you're hard to please
When your faith is gone
And when you can't believe
I'm on my hands and knees

The junk of the hearts
Is the junk of the hearts

I've given all of me
And you crave for more
Weird how this makes us feel
Insecure
That's what friends are for

The junk of the hearts
Is the junk of the hearts

cardigan - lead me into the night

I went too far, yes I came too close
I drove away the one that I loved the most
Now I ride the tight on a boat made of sand
I?m sailing for another to guide me to land

And lead me into the night
Please drive away the light
Cause I?ve been blinded by glitter and gold
My eyes need to rest from this light
And sleep well at night

I traveled east and I traveled west
And I found a boy with a heart on his chest
I ran a ground my ship left to rust
Yes I found a guide in the city of lust

To lead me into the night
Oh please drive away the light
Although my mother will never understand
I walk with him away from the light
And into the night

Oh you, you, you, it?s got to be you
Oh you, oh you, it?s got to be you
True, true, it?s true it?s got to be you
Oh you, oh you, it?s got to be you

To lead me into the night

Well I went too far and I came too close
I drove away the first one and now he?s the coast
And I went to drift on a boat made of sand
It was leaking like a sift but I made it to land

It leads me into the night
He drives away in the light
He makes the darkness seem bright
And walks with me into the night
Away from the light

cardigan - a good horse

It takes no match to give me a spark
Now I'm trying out another heart
I've been winding 'bout a fresh start
I've found myself a good horse

Eyes burning on the quicksand
And I run it through the hollow land
I've fed it with a shaky hand
I found myself a strong horse

These are the promises I can keep
These are the promises I can keep
To live like I must
And ride with the dust in my face
In grace

I've found myself a good horse
Yes I've found myself a strong horse
But things remain not different then before

These are the promises I can keep
Yes these are the promises I can keep
To live like I must
And ride with the dust in my face

These are the promises I can keep
These are the promises I can keep
To live like I must
And ride with the dust in my face

cardigan - hey get out of my way

Listen baby
thoughts has crossed my mind
and it's clear now
you are not my kind
oh! I've tried boy
better ways to say
what I feel now
it seems you plan to stay
but I won't waste a day
so I say...

hey! get out of my way
hey! hey! hey!
you've always been in my way

Hear now honey
I'll be good to you
if you stay gone
far out of my view
I'm sick and tired
of your dramatic ways
and when I think of
all those wasted days
I shake loose of your laces
and say...

hey! get out of my way
hey! hey! hey!
you've always been in my way

this is all that I will say
this is all that I will do
I'm not in love with you!
