“Your a Wolf” Lyrics (iTunes)
I’m walking on the southern street, cut to the river ‘fore I run too low.
I’m walking on the southern street, cut to the river ‘fore I run too low.
Old gypsy woman spoke to me, lips stained red from a bottle of wine.
Old gypsy woman spoke to me, lips stained red from a bottle of wine.
“The one that you are looking for, you’re not gonna find her here.”
“The one that you are looking for, you’re not gonna find her here, here.”
I’m runnin’ on the northeast street, cut to the ocean ‘fore I run too low.
I’m runnin’ on the northeast street, cut to the ocean ‘fore I run too low,
Cut to the ocean ‘fore I run too low.
“The one that you are looking for, you’re not gonna find her here.”
“The one that you are looking for, you’re not gonna find her here, here.”
Old gypsy woman spoke to me, said, “You’re a wolf, boy, get out of this town.”
Old gypsy woman spoke to me, said, “You’re a wolf, boy, get out of this town.”

Artist: Brandi Carlile
Track: “The Story (iTunes) | “The Story” (Amazon MP3)
The Story lyrics – (iTunes)
All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I’ve been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don’t mean anything
When you’ve got no one to tell them to
It’s true…I was made for you
I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby I broke them all for you
Because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
You do
I was made for you
You see the smile that’s on my mouth
It’s hiding the words that don’t come out
And all of my friends who think that I’m blessed
They don’t know my head is a mess
No, they don’t know who I really am
And they don’t know what
I’ve been through like you do
And I was made for you…
All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I’ve been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don’t mean anything
When you’ve got no one to tell them to
It’s true…I was made for you

All These Things That I’ve Done (lyrics)
When there’s nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son
One more son
If you can hold on
If you can hold on, hold on
I wanna stand up, I wanna let go
You know, you know – no you don’t, you don’t
I wanna shine on in the hearts of men
I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand
Another head aches, another heart breaks
I am so much older than I can take
And my affection, well it comes and goes
I need direction to perfection, no no no no
Help me out
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don’t you put me on the blackburner
You know you got to help me out
And when there’s nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son
These changes ain’t changing me
The cold-hearted boy I used to be
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don’t you put me on the blackburner
You know you got to help me out
You’re gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you’re gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you’re gonna bring yourself down
I got soul, but I’m not a soldier
I got soul, but I’m not a soldier
…
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don’t you put me on the blackburner
You know you got to help me out
You’re gonna bring yourself down
You’re gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, oh don’t you put me on the blackburner
Yeah, you’re gonna bring yourself down
Over and out, last call for sin
While everyone’s lost, the battle is won
With all these things that I’ve done
All these things that I’ve done
If you can hold on
If you can hold on

The commercial Target debuted during tonight’s Olympic opening ceremony is “We Belong in This World Together” (iTunes) by Stereo MC’s.
“We Belong in This World Together” Lyrics (iTunes)
nside you are hollow
inside you are hollow
inside
we belong in this world together
what’s going on?
we belong in this world together
what’s going on?
what’s going on?
what’s going on?
gotta check myself
my own back yard
my calling card
don’t take it hard
if you fall
you’ll be wiser
after all
what’s the use without
invention in your mind
come on down
treat me as your kind
i’m a face in the human race
good for nothing
a hopeless case
there ain’t no time
there ain’t no space
ain’t no place for us to go
face to face
we’ll trace our step
side to side
from east to west
the feeling strong
i’m feeling strong
what’s going on?
what’s going on?
what’s going on?
we belong in this world together
don’t we belong?
staple make the diet
mental attitude
staple make the diet
and my mental attitude
staple make the diet
and my mental attitude
don’t we belong?
we belong in this world together
we belong in this world together
we belong in this world together
we belong in this world together
we belong in this world together
what’s going on

Timely being as I just saw the Submarines open for Aimee Mann a few days ago. They’re highly recommended. The song being used in the current iPhone 3G campaign is “You, Me and the Bourgeoisie” (iTunes) from The Submarines.
