brain itches Theme by Adam Holwerda.

Nothing’s gonna harm you, not while I’m around.
No one’s gonna hurt you, not while I’m around.

Demons are prowling everywhere, nowadays,
I’ll send ‘em howling,
I got ways.

No one’s gonna hurt you,
No one’s gonna dare.
Others can desert you,
Not to worry,
whistle, I’ll be there.

Demons’ll charm you with a smile, for a while,
But in time…
Nothing can harm you
Not while I’m around…

Not While Im Around - Jamie Cullum

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 

MIXTAPE - Jamie Cullum

If I Ruled the World - Jamie Cullum

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? Nicholas Sparks

11th Dimension - Julian Casablancas

11th Dimension - Julian Casablancas

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

YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE - THE STROKES

Some people think they’re always right
Others are quiet and uptight
Others they seem so very nice nice nice nice nice oh oh
Inside they might feel sad and wrong

Oh no
Twenty-nine different attributes
And only seven that you like, uh oh
Twenty ways to see the world, oh oh
Or twenty ways to start a fight

Oh, men don’t notice what they got
Women think of that a lot
1000 ways to please your man oh oh
Not even one requires a plan. I know
Countless odd religions too
It doesn’t matter which you choose
One stubborn way to turn your back
This I’ve tried, and now refuse

Oh, don’t, don’t, don’t
Get up
I can’t see the sunshine
I’ll be waiting for you baby
‘Cause I’m through
Sit me down
Shut me up
I’ll calm down
And I’ll get along with you.

THAT’S ALL - MICHAEL BUBLE <3

I can only give you love that lasts forever,
And a promise to be near each time you call.
And the only heart I own
For you and you alone
That’s all,
That’s all…

I can only give you country walks in springtime
And a hand to hold when leaves begin to fall;
And a love whose burning light
Will warm the winter’s night
That’s all,
That’s all.

There are those I am sure who have told you,
They would give you the world for a toy.
All I have are these arms to enfold you,
And a love time can never destroy.

If you’re wondering what I’m asking in return, dear,
You’ll be glad to know that my demands are small.
Say it’s me that you’ll adore,
For now and evermore
That’s all,
That’s all.

THE MAN WHO CAN’T BE MOVED - The Script

Going Back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I’m not gonna move
Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand
Saying, “If you see this girl can you tell her where I am?”

Some try to hand me money, they don’t understand
I’m not broke I’m just a broken hearted man
I know it makes no sense but what else can I do
How can I move on when I’m still in love with you

‘cause if one day you wake up and find that you’re missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinkin maybe you’ll come back here to the place that we’d meet
And you’ll see me waiting for you on our corner of the street
So I’m not moving, I’m not moving

Policeman says, “Son you can’t stay here”
I said, “There’s someone I’m waiting for if it’s a day, a month, a year”
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows
If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go

People talk about the guy that’s waiting on a girl
There are no holes in his shoes but a big hole in his world

Maybe I’ll get famous as the man who can’t be moved
Maybe you wont mean to but you’ll see me on the news
And you’ll come running to the corner
‘cause you’ll know it’s just for you
I’m the man who can’t be moved

I’ll paint rainbows all over your blues. John B. Sebastian
