Great episode tonight. Took me about hour and a half to realize the episode would be 2 hours long – and I wasn’t drinking!

Anyway, this episode started off with a bang from my favorite band Radiohead and finished with another fine band the frames. And the episode was quite excellent. Interesting how good it was without any of the other cast. Hopefully the producers take note.

The current Cadillac commercial for the new 2010 Cadillac SRX is using Phoenix’s 1901 in the commercial. Might be tough to figure out because there are few lyrics heard. One of my favorite albums of the year.

Song: 1901 (iTunes) | (Amazon MP3)
Album: Wolfgang Amadeus Motzart (iTunes) | (Amazon MP3)
Artist: Phoenix

1901 Lyrics
Counting all different ideas drifting away
Past and present — they don’t matter.
Now the future’s sorted out
Watch, you’re moving in elliptical pattern
Think it’s not what you say
What you say is way too complicated
For a minute thought I couldn’t tell how to fall out.

It’s 20 seconds ’til the last call, going “hey hey hey hey hey hey”
Lie down, you know it’s easy like we did it all summer long
And I’ll be anything you ask and more, going “hey hey hey hey hey hey”
It’s not a miracle we needed, and no I wouldn’t let you think so
Falling, falling, falling, falling

Girlfriend, know your girlfriend’s drifting away
Past and present, 1855-1901
Watch them build up a material tower
Think it’s not gonna stay anyway
Think it’s overrated
For a minute, thought I couldn’t tell how to fall out

It’s 20 seconds to the last call, going “hey hey hey hey hey”
Lie down, you know it’s easy, like we did it all summer long
And I’ll be anything you ask and more, going “hey hey hey hey hey”
It’s not a miracle we needed, and no, I wouldn’t let you think so
Falling, falling, falling, falling
Falling, falling, falling, falling

She’s Got Me Dancing Lyrics
Have you ever…
Felt so lonely…
In this cold…
World so cold?.
Have you ever…
Felt so lonely…?

(Chorus. x2)
She’s got me dancin’
She’s got me dancin’
She’s got me dancin… and she’s always one step behind.

Hey! You! I moved to the side.
Just-a live a little least of your life.
That ex got a bullet aside and she likes what you did before.
You see me dancin’ but i never ever like to talk.
Hey! what do we know i think weve done it to ourselves again.

Have you ever…
Felt so lonely…

She’s got me dancin… and she’s always one step behind.

(Instrumental)

Have you ever…
Felt so lonely…
In this cold…
World so cold…
Have you ever…
Felt so lonely…?

(Chorus. x4)
She’s got me dancin’
She’s got me dancin’
She’s got me dancin… and she’s always one step behind.

Artist: Cat Stevens

If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out lyrics

Well, if you want to sing out, sing out
And if you want to be free, be free
‘Cause there’s a million things to be
You know that there are

And if you want to live high, live high
And if you want to live low, live low
‘Cause there’s a million ways to go
You know that there are

Chorus:
You can do what you want
The opportunity’s on
And if you find a new way
You can do it today
You can make it all true
And you can make it undo
you see ah ah ah
its easy ah ah ah
You only need to know

Well if you want to say yes, say yes
And if you want to say no, say no
‘Cause there’s a million ways to go
You know that there are

And if you want to be me, be me
And if you want to be you, be you
‘Cause there’s a million things to do
You know that there are

Chorus

Well, if you want to sing out, sing out
And if you want to be free, be free
‘Cause there’s a million things to be
You know that there are
You know that there are
You know that there are
You know that there are
You know that there are
