Timebomb lyrics (Amazon MP3) | (iTunes)
Ahh, suck a headphone!

We got a time bomb
We got a time bomb
We got a time bomb
Na na na na
We got a warning light
We got a warning light
We pull the plug out and we—
Na na na na

Time bomb ticking
Time bomb ticking
There’s a time bomb ticking
Going tick tick tick tick
Time bomb ticking
Time bomb ticking
There’s a time bomb ticking
Going—

We got a time bomb
We got a time bomb
Tick tick tick tick
Na na na na
We got a red alert
We got a red alert
We cut the power and we—
Na na na na

There’s a time bomb ticking
Time bomb ticking
There’s a time bomb ticking
Going tick tick tick tick
There’s a time bomb ticking
(Bum bum, bum bum bum)
Time bomb ticking
(Ba-da-da-da bum)
There’s a time bomb ticking
(Bum bum, bum bum bum)
Going tick tick tick tick
(Ba-da-da-da bum)

We’re going sideways, highways
Riding on an elevator
Cold just like an alligator
Now my baby’s out of data
Fighting and lightning
And tightening above the buckles
Of an atom bomb’s time bomb’s ticking
Tick tick tick

Bum bum, bum bum bum, ba-da-da-da bum
Bum bum, bum bum bum, ba-da-da-da bum
Bum bum, bum bum bum, ba-da-da-da bum
Bum bum, bum bum bum, ba-da-da-da bum

We got a time bomb
We got a time bomb
We got a time bomb
Na na na na
We got a red alert
We got a red alert
We pull the plug out and we—
Na na na na
We got a cigarette
We got a cigarette
We got a cigarette
Na na na na

Time bomb ticking
(We got a cigarette!)
Time bomb ticking
(We got a paper cut!)
There’s a time bomb ticking
(Fuck your headphones!)
Going tick tick tick tick
(Fuck your headphones!)
A time bomb ticking (What?)
(Bum bum, bum bum bum)
Time bomb ticking (What? What?)
(Ba-da-da-da bum)
There’s a time bomb ticking
(Bum bum, bum bum bum)
Going—
(Ba-da-da-da bum)

Bum bum, bum bum bum, ba-da-da-da bum
Bum bum, bum bum bum, ba-da-da-da bum
Bum bum, bum bum bum, ba-da-da-da bum
Bum bum, bum bum bum, fu-fu-fu-fu-fuck
Bum bum, bum bum bum, ba-da-da-da bum
Bum bum, bum bum bum, ba-da-da-da bum
Bum bum, bum bum bum, ba-da-da-da bum
Bum bum, bum bum bum, ba-da-da-da bum bum bum

Blackberry and U2 – a combination that screams yesterday. The music being used is:

Song: If I don’t go crazy tonight (iTunes) | (Amazon MP3)

Album: No Line on the Horizon (iTunes) | (Amazon MP3)
Artist: U2

If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight lyrics
She’s a rainbow and she loves the peaceful life
Knows I’ll go crazy if I don’t go crazy tonight

There’s a part of me in the chaos that’s quiet
And there’s a part of you that wants me to riot
Everybody needs to cry or needs to spit
Every sweet-tooth needs just a little hit
Every beauty needs to go out with an idiot
How can you stand next to the truth and not see it?
A change of heart comes slow..

It’s not a hill it’s a mountain
As you start out the climb
Do you believe me or are you doubting?
We’re gonna make it all the way to the light
But I know I’ll go crazy if I don’t go crazy tonight

Every generation gets a chance to change the world
Pity the nation that will listen to your boys and girls
‘Cos the sweetest melody is the one we haven’t heard
Is it true the perfect love drives out all fear?
The right to appear ridiculous is something I hold dear
Oh, but a change of heart comes slow…

It’s not a hill it’s a mountain
As you start out the climb
Listen for me, I’ll be shouting
But we’re gonna make it all the way to the light
But I know I’ll go crazy if I don’t go crazy tonight

Baby, baby, baby, I know I’m not alone
Baby, baby, baby, I know I’m not alone
Ha, ha, ha

It’s not a hill it’s a mountain
Listen for me, I’ll be shouting
Shouting to the darkness, squeeze out sparks of light
You know we’ll go crazy
You know we’ll go crazy
You know we’ll go crazy, if we don’t go crazy tonight
Oh Oh
Slowly now
Oh Oh

Daylight lyrics

DAYLIGHT

we cut the legs off of our pants
threw our shoes into the ocean
sit back and wave through the daylight
sit back and wave through the daylight

slip and slide on subway grates
these shoes are poor mans ice skates
fall through like change in the daylight
fall through like change in the daylight

i miss yellow lines in my roads
some color on monochrome
maybe i’ll paint them in myself
maybe i’ll paint them in myself

these sidewalks liquid then stone
building walls and an old pay phone
it rings like all through the daylight
it rings like all through the daylight

chorus
and in the daylight we can hitchhike to maine
i hope that someday i’ll see without these frames
and in the daylight i don’t pick up my phone
cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home

I have five clocks in my life
and only one has the time right
i’ll just unplug it for today
ill just unplug it for today

open hydrant rolled down windows
this car might make a good old boat
and float down grand street in daylight
and float down grand street in daylight

and with just half of a sunburn
new yellow lines that i earned
step back and here comes the night time
step back and here comes the night time

chorus
and in the daylight we can hitchhike to maine
i hope that someday i’ll see without these frames
and in the daylight i don’t pick up my phone
cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home

I hesitated to post this one because I thought, “who doesn’t know who sang this song?” Then I realized that I’m old and that a 20 year old would have been born 19 years after this song was released.

Song: The Bomb (iTunes)|(Amazon MP3)

Artist: New Young Pony Club

The Bomb Lyrics (iTunes)|(Amazon MP3)

You know you really were the bomb
Oh, oh, oh, atomic infamy
You really have to display information
To discover relativity
You know you really were the bomb
Oh, oh, oh, atomic infamy
You really have to display information
To discover relativity
You’re no faker, love and peace maker
Come and take a moment with your enemy

Aha, don’t speak ‘cos your mind is amazing
Aha
Aha, don’t speak ‘cos your mind is amazing
Aha

And on the atoll of desire
Oh, oh, oh, battle was fought and won
Who took advantage and who was defenceless?
Oh, no, peppermint girl’s not done
Remember this emotional equation
Don’t test the moment when you break the sun

Aha, don’t speak ‘cos your mind is amazing
Aha
Aha, don’t speak ‘cos your mind is amazing
Aha
Aha, don’t speak ‘cos your mind is amazing
Aha
Aha, don’t speak ‘cos your mind is amazing
Aha

Dancing you’re tearing it up you know
Dancing you’re tearing it up you know
Dancing you’re tearing it up you know
Dancing you’re tearing it up…

Don’t speak ‘cos your mind is amazing
Dancing you’re tearing it up you know
Don’t speak ‘cos your mind is amazing
Dancing you’re tearing it up you know
Dancing you’re tearing it up…

Christmas TV Lyrics

It’s okay to have scars, they will make you who you are
It’s okay to have fear, as long as you’re not scared of going here
And in the middle of the night, just call if you wanna talk
‘Cause you know that I wanna talk too

It’s not bad of you to think ’bout what might go wrong
But you can’t blame me for secretly hoping that I’ll prove you wrong
It’s okay that I pray that you will miss your flight
And have to stay with me another night

It is brutal, it’s brutal, why can’t you see
It’s brutal, it’s brutal, where have you been
‘Cause we’re far apart and my lonely heart
Finds it hard to get through the night
You pull me out of the dark and now it’s light
You pull me out of the dark and now it’s light

When we’re out in the market and out on the streets
I’ve got a pocket full of problems and a pocket full of seeds
Hoping something good might grow out of this mistletoe
And I won’t have to erase your memory

I like the way that our arguments stop when we fall asleep
And the way that your body feels when it’s wrapped around me
And I’d like it if you made it to mine by Christmas Eve
So you can hold me
And we’ll watch Christmas TV

It is brutal, it’s brutal, why can’t you see
It’s brutal, it’s brutal, where have you been
‘Cause we’re far apart and my lonely heart
Finds it hard to get through the night
You pull me out of the dark and now it’s light
You pull me out of the dark and now it’s light

So come on home, just come on home
Just come on home, just come on home… (repeat)

Honda is rolling out their new Insight with commercials featuring some cool music from bands like Great Lake Swimmers. So far this is what I’ve found.

See You On the Moon (iTunes)

Lyrics from the commercial:

When I grow up maybe I’ll be a singer in a band
and I’ll drive all across the land
with my friends all in the van
and I’ll sing into a microphone
but when it’s over, I’ll come home
while the people go “clap, clap, clap”
and the drummer goes “tap, tap, tap”
and thank you singer.

maybe I’ll be an astronaut and work for NASA.
maybe I’ll see you on the moon,
I’ll see you on the moon,
I’ll see you on the moon.

Not sure who the following commercial is using. Let me know in the comments.
Lyrics I hear are:

Let’s all paint the town red and white black and brown
Watch the colors dry, they mix so well it’s no surprise
We are all in this together
Let’s all build a home, gather up the friends you know
Somewhere we can go

And here’s one more using Honey Tree by Mostar Driving Club (Myspace)
Lyrics from the commercial:

Just another perfect day
I think I’ll walk this way where the trees do sing
Feeling part of everything
When all my troubles seem to fade away
Skies look brighter
I feel, feel a change
