Everything I know is you
Let me tell you what we’re listening to
I’m a gentle soul I’m sure
But on the stereo I’m a dictator
Do you even have a tape machine?
To facilitate my plastic dreams
All the things that I have seen, from
Morrissey to John Coltrane AHHH!…
Cinematic Orchestra, De La Soul the Shangri-La’s
An adolescent love letter, a sparkling jewel of manual labour
I’ll make you a mixtape that’s a blueprint of my soul
It may sound grand but babe it’s all you need to know
I’ll make you a mixtape that will charm you into bed
It details everything that’s running round my head
Fondling, record and play
Without you it’s records night and day
This ain’t no disc of MP3’s
This one’s handmade, fashioned lovingly
Plant the rhythm in your bones
You’re the only angel in headphones
My love can paint a million tones
From Nine Inch Nails to Louis Armstrong
So resurrect your stereo
And the swathes of melodies will flow
Thelonious, Maurizio
I tell you babe it will make my heart glow

If I ruled the world,
Every day would be the first day of spring.
Every heart would have a new song to sing,
and we’d sing of the joy every morning would bring.
If I ruled the world,
Every man would be as free as a bird.
Every voice would be a voice to be heard,
take my word we would treasure each day that occurred.
My world would be a beautiful place
Where we would weave such wonderful dreams.
My world would wear a smile on its face,
like the man and the moon has, when the moon beams.
If i ruled the world,
Every man would see the world was his friend. Yeah
There’d be happiness that no man could end,
no my friend, not if i ruled the world.
Every hand would be held up high,
There’d be sunshine in everyones sky.
If the day ever dawned,
will i rule the world.
“ What are we, after all, without our memories … without our dreams?

I’ll just nod, I’ve never been so good at shaking hands
I live on the frozen surface of a fireball
Where cities come together to hate each other in the name of sport
America, nothing is ever just anything
I looked up to you, but you thought I would look the other way
And you hear what you want to hear
And they take what they want to take…
Don’t be sad, won’t ever happen like this anymore
So whens it coming, this last new great movement that I can join?
It won’t end here, your faith has got to be greater than your fear
Forgive them, even if they are not sorry
All the vultures, bootleggers at the door waiting
You are looking for your own voice but in others
While it hears you, trapped in another dimension
Drop your guard, you don’t have to be smart all of the time
I’ve got a mind full of blanks, I need to go somewhere new fast
And don’t be shy, oh no, at least deliberately - cause no one really cares or wonders why anymore
Oh, I got music, coming out of my hands and feet and kisses… oh
That is how it once was done
All the dreamers on the run
Forgive them, even if they are not sorry
All the vultures, bootleggers at the door waiting
We’re so quick to point out our own flaws in others
Complicated mammals on the wings of robots
If you believe in this world then no one has died in vain
But don’t you dare get to the top and not know what to do
To make a mountain of your life
Is just a choice
But I never learned enough
To listen to the voice that told me
Always love. Hate will get you every time
Always love, Don’t wait til the finish line
Slow demands come ‘round
Squeeze the air and keep the rest out
It helps to write it down
Even when you then cross it out
But Always Love. Hate will get you every time
Always Love, Even when you wanna fight
Self-directed lives
I want to know what it?d be like to
Aim so high above
Any card that you’ve been dealt, you…
Always Love. Hate will get you every time
Always Love, Hate will get you.
I’ve been held back by something
Yeah. You said to me quietly on the stairs,
I’ve been held back by something
Yeah. You said to me quietly on the stairs.
You said
Hey, you good ones.
Hey, you good ones.
ALWAYS LOVE - NADA SURF
