1. The Kinks (as Arthur & The Emigrants) feat. Ray Davies - The Future
Single/rarity released (2019), recorded in 1969
---------

everyone knows the future's coming
just can't stop it moving on
all over the world
the new rhythm going down slow
put on a brand new groove in your shoes
when the beat revolution comes

(gonna change the world with the boys and the girls)

'cuz all those old time squares are gonna step aside
but if you choose you can still join the ride
so take the past, present, future in your stride

(the boys and the girls are the rhythm of the world
the boys and the girls are gonna change the world)

everyone knows the future's coming
just can't stop it moving on
all over the world
the new rhythm going down slow
put on a brand new groove in your shoes
when the beat revolution comes

(gonna change the world with the boys and the girls)
put on a brand new groove in your shoes when the beat revolution comes
(gonna change the world with the boys and the girls)
put on a brand new groove in your shoes when the beat revolution comes

2. Ezra Furman - Lousy Connection
from Perpetual Motion People (2015)
---------

it's late at night it's time to tell you my secrets
my personality's cut up into pieces
modern society's my one secret weakness
i'm out of money and i'm out of my mind

we can't fit in so we just head for the fringes
your universe of blue lipstick and syringes
your bedroom doorway with the bugs in the hinges
some things about you that i don't understand

oh and i, i don't want to be the bad guy
i wanna see myself from the outside
can you hear me now, wait, can you, wait, wait can you hear me now

cuz i, i've got a lousy connection
i promise my undying affection
can you hear me now, wait, wait can you, wait, can you hear me now

so i've been working on this letter to congress
regarding some things that i think they should address
showed up in court wearing an indian head dress
somehow i think maybe the message was lost

it seems the clarity we knew is degraded
a royal flush but all the faces have faded
i want the universe, god knows i've been patient
i hear your voice behind a static-y storm

this century seems like it's turning out okay
it's like a game of worldwide karaoke
and my rich friends and me just sit and blow smoke rings
there's nothing happening and it's happening too fast

try to interpret but the message is scrambled
the institutions that i lean on have crumbled
i've got the world's ear i'm all fuckin' mumbles
i guess i'm just another link in a chain

i, i don't want to be the bad guy
i want to see myself from the outside
can you hear me now, wait, can you, wait, can you hear me now
and i, i've got a lousy connection
i promise my undying affection
can you hear me now, wait, wait can you, wait, just can you hear me now

3. Young Gun Silver Fox - Underdog
from AM Waves (2018)
---------

we never dream our hero stands a chance
whoah but take another look, c’mon take a second glance
a little shy, kinda nervous, just an ordinary guy, woah yes
but look a little deeper, and you might recognize
a little piece of me and you there in his eyes

let’s hear it for the underdog, underdog
going up against the odds
let’s hear it for the underdog, underdog
going up, rising up, against the odds
hoo hoo

he don’t got the money, no he don’t got the fame
woo no he don’t, no he don’t, no he don’t
don’t got the suped up car with a fancy name, hoo hoo
yes everybody everybody loves an underdog,
standing up for all of us every day
footloose and fancy-free, going all the way

but look a little deeper, and you might recognise
a little piece of me and you there in his eyes

let’s hear it for the underdog, underdog
going up against the odds
let’s hear it for the underdog, underdog
going up, rising up, against the odds

he’s the king of surprise, like a southpaw who leads with his right
he’s our number one, he’s got it going on

look a little deeper, and you might recognise
a little piece of me and you there in his eyes

don’t got the money
don’t got the fame
don’t got the car with a fancy name
what he’s got can’t be bought or made
he rules the world

don’t got the money
don’t got the looks
don’t got the house in the neighbourhood
but he’ll win wars you never could
cuz he rules the world
he got the girl

4. Diane Coffee - Everyday
from Everybody's A Good Dog (2015)
---------

you don't even see me though i've been here so long
i've been trying to find our best outfit out
and i'm every day a stranger, every day i'm with you
so it's no surprise i'm feeling down

now wait a minute
i've been trying, i've been dying
i've been mystified
for this you can be rest assured
for my time i think i've earned a crime
lord i know what's mine
this is hell, i can't be that anymore

stop playing games with my heart
i don't need you pushing all your letters apart
(yeah, i'm in hell)
stop, be all that you want and more
stop, (i shoulda) known from the start

call me unforgiving, you can call me unkind
call me when i can come pick up what's mine
i will be every way your lover if you'd only have me
but i guess i'm just a waste of your time

i've been waiting
i've been trying, i've been dying
i've been mystified
for this you can be rest assured
for my time i think i've earned a crime
lord i know what's mine
this is hell, i can't be that anymore

stop playing games with my heart
i don't need you pushing all your letters apart
(yeah, i been sad)
stop, be all that you want and more
stop, (i shoulda) should have known from the start

yeah, maybe another time
maybe we'll find la-love, la-love
maybe another life
maybe in heaven, heaven, heaven

stop playing games with my heart
i don't need you pushing all your letters apart
(just like heaven said)
stop, be all that you want and more
stop, (i shoulda) known from the start

5. Allen Stone - Miscommunicate
from Building Balance (2019)
---------

i remember way back in the day
i used to know all of my neighbors' names
we used to set the tables on sundays
welcome friends and strangers just the same

now i just don't feel the love
seems like things just don't add up
if one plus one is you and me
we can add another one for community
if one plus one is you and me
we can add another one for community

'cuz i miss the way things used to be
i miss talking, just you and me
we used to do it face to face
now all we ever seem to do is

miscommunicate
yeah we miscommunicate

i remember not so long ago (i remember)
the sound of my friends knockin' at my door (knock-knockin')
oh, but now i'm spendin' all my time alone (aw)
because all my friends just live inside my phone

now i just don't feel the love
seems like things just don't add up
if one plus one is you and me
we can add another one for community
if one plus one is you and me
we can add another one for community

'cuz i miss the way things used to be
even when we disagree
we used to do it face to face
now all we ever seem to do is

miscommunicate
yeah we miscommunicate

'cuz i miss the way things used to be
i miss talking, just you and me
yeah the magic of community
lives right on down the street from me
i don't believe it it's too late
i don't believe we've sealed our fate
there has to be a better way
don't you know that we don't have to

miscommunicate (miscommunicate)
miscommunicate (miscommu- miscommunicate)
we don't have to
miscommunicate
don't miscommunicate

one plus one plus one makes three
everybody is my family
three and three and three makes nine
everybody feels like catchin' a vibe
catchin' a vibe
catchin' a vibe
just catchin' a vibe

6. Field Music - Count It Up
from Open Here (2018)
---------

if you've ever owned a car, or you rent a car, or you have a company car then count that up
add it to the ever-growing list of things you can't claim all the credit for
if your mother had a job, and your dad had a job when you were growing up then count that up
'cuz pounds and pennies aren't the only kind of capital

if you've ever visited another country and waltzed through passport control then count that up
one more stamp in the book you'd like to call 'i own my own genius'
(count it up)
if you get to choose the clothes you wear and how you cut your hair then count that up
(count it up)
and you can utilize your democratic power for the good of somebody else

then try to
count (count)
count (count)
count (count)
count it up

i'm quite an old-fashioned fellow
i'm not averse to owning up
can we give each other
the tiniest benefit of the doubt

if you can go through day to day without the fear of violence count that up
(count it up)
if people don't stare at you on the street because of the colour of your skin count that up
(count it up)
if your body makes some kind of sense to you count that up
(count it up)
and use the breath you have left to say something that matters

then try to
count it up

if you can turn on the tap and your kids can drink the water count that up
(count it up)
if you've ever had the luxury of turning down a job count that up (hah!)
(count it up)
if you had books and newspapers in your house when you were a kid count that up
(count it up)

don't forget
don't forget
don't forget to count it up
(count it up)

from More Than Just A Dream (2013)

hey! break the walls

through the epic unconsciousness
through the valley of beaten chests
turn the sound down, still hear the roar

give me a sledgehammer and give me strength
watch the world come crumbling down
cut me loose i seek the truth
i bet the freedom, the freedom will carry me

hey! break the walls

to the wild i travel the unknown
the fathers pray out to be overthrown
turn the lights down oh to be blind at peace
let the beast out and watch it bare its teeth

give me a sledgehammer and give me strength
watch the world come crumbling down
cut me loose i seek the truth
i bet the freedom, the freedom will carry me

hey! break the walls

kick and scream fight for the unseen
fight for harmony, fight for you and me

hey! break the walls

bruised, my weary soul
flames now take control

fire in the sky
burning ball of light
the heavens are ablaze
flames are like a maze

roll on fire
higher and higher
living in a fever dream
feeling that fire walk with me

roll on fire
higher and higher
living in a fever dream
feeling that fire walk
burning up every thought
feeling that fire walk with me

14. Bad Sounds - Breathe
single (2019)
---------

somewhere in hell
there's people learning
what they should have done
but can't do again

so they
breathe
deep
breathe

as we peddle through
the dooms impending
took a scenic route
and we made it less scenic

as we
breathe
deep
breathe

well it made a believer of me
yes it means something
it's got to mean something
i need it to mean

breathe
so breathe

so breathe
deep
breathe

a minute and change
i guess i'm learning
to forget all the ways
that the world is burning

15. D Fine Us - Post Truth Era Blues
single (2019)
---------

go on whistle baby
what's on your mind
you know as the light gets dimmer
i'm not hard to find

tv is watching me baby
anything to unwind
but this post truth era
i can't tell no wrong from right

(time is a thief)
oh it stole my good years away
(and as i speak)
it doesn't matter what i'll say

go on whistle baby
what's on your mind
i'm a wild child sweet bitter
mama i ain't lying

tv is watching me baby
same way as before
when this post truth era
came a'knocking at my door

alright, alright, sing it
take it away
yeah

(time is a thief)
oh it stole my good years away
when this post truth era
came a'knocking at my door

16. The Comet Is Coming feat. Kate Tempest - Blood Of The Past
from Trust In The Lifeforce Of The Deep Mystery (2019)
---------

all the many corpses begin to speak
what ignorance is cannot be argued over anymore
it is too late for pleading white picket dreams
print you off, the shemps, the world is shrinking
rooted in a trivial concern, in interconnectedness
in the need to make face and keep up
and drown out the many voices within
imagine a culture that has, at its root
a more soulful connection to land and to lovers

but i can hear the lie before you speak
there is nothing but progress to eat
and we are so fat and so hungry
and the black wrists are cuffed in the pig van
while the white shirt and tie in the tube car, distractional picture

pictures of beer and guilt about urges
sexual distrust and abandoned to nothingness
give me something i can nail myself to
give me a savvily-dressed talking head
who has something about them i trust and despise

and what of it, anyway? these windows don't open
they were designed to stay closed
shower, smoothie, coffee, commute
check the internet, never stop, never stop

there is a scar on the soul of the world and it needs you to look

the blood of the past is here, it remains
the blood of the murders, the bodies like sacks leaking brain
all stacked, chest aback on the planes, it remains

to acknowledge without guilt, to accept without condition
and to listen when other people tell you how you have behaved
truth is, it’s for us to feel and be moved

but i hear the clatter of bone against steel, it is coming
it will not be stilled, it is there
in the air, scorched white
the reflection of sunlight on glass bouncing back into sunlight
and glass bouncing back, industrialized

denial, business as usual
so roll your eyes, shake your head, turn away and call me names
i'm okay with that, too proud
unable to listen, we keep speaking
moted by blood, unable to notice ourselves
unable to stop and unwilling to learn

---------
17. Andrew Bird - Bloodless
from My Finest Work Yet (2019)
---------

they are profiting from your worry
they're selling blanks down at the dmz
they're are banking on the sound and fury
makes you wonder what it all's got to do with me

bloodless for now

i'm keeping mine with the altruists
i'm putting my weight behind the dancer
i know it's hard to be an optimist
when you trust least the ones who claim to have the answers

and it's an uncivil war
it's an uncivil war
it's an uncivil war

bloodless for now

and the poets, they explode like bombs
(bloodless for now)
the gentry is drinking Moet Chandon
(bloodless for now)

turn around and quote a well known psalm
don't you worry 'bout the wicked
don't you envy those who do wrong
and your innocence will be like the dawn
while the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun

well, the best lack all conviction
and the worst keep sharpening their claws
they're peddling in their dark fictions
while what's left of us, well, we just hem and we haw

and it feels like nineteen thirty six
in catalonia
in catalonia

bloodless for now
bloodless for now

and the poets, they explode like bombs
(bloodless for now)
they're drinking moet chandon
(bloodless for now)

turn around and quote a well known psalm
don't you worry 'bout the wicked
don't you envy those who do wrong
and your innocence will be like the dawn
while the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun

18. Bill Miller - Brave Heart
from Raven In The Snow (1995)
---------

some are born to wealth, given shelter from the storm
some were always held, had a fire to keep them warm
some are born to poverty with no roof above their head
some are facing suicide and wishin' they were dead

there are those with flowing rivers running right outside the door
refugees in boats who may never reach the shore
some pray for rain and they pay for it in blood
when it rains for forty days we are all victims of the flood

oh, but somewhere, a brave heart will survive
yes, someday the truth is gonna bury the lie
yeah somewhere a brave heart must survive
yeah, oh, i must survive

too many have been prisoners deserving to be free
too many in the darkness and they have no eyes to see
in the middle of the night they are taken from their homes
and they dig a common grave to cover up their flesh and bones

but a new day is dawning for the beggars and the blind
for those who have suffered and were always left behind
because the chains are gonna break and the fences will come down
and we will walk as brothers once again on this sacred ground

yeah, somewhere a brave heart will survive
someday the truth is gonna bury the lie
oh, somewhere a brave heart must survive
yeah, oh, oh, must survive

---------
19. Phil Cook - Great Tide
from Southland Mission (2015)
---------

all your longing
all your pain
all your endings are gonna figure out the same
board your windows, lock your doors
shit's about to hit the fan so you better hit the floor

tie those gooses, place your beds
ain't no way you're ever gonna settle all your debts
rolling thunder, oh, burning hay
and you're singing that dixie out but you're fallin' down a well

hey yeah, well you know, hey yeah

nothing's sacred, nothing's sane
get your ass on the morning train or get the hell out the way
and anyway you'll never be ready for the sound
drinking out of that dixie cup when it all goes down

hey yeah, well you know, hey yeah

it's gonna be a great tide
run on down to the hole

all your longing
all your pain
all your endings are gonna figure out the same

hey yeah, well you know, hey yeah

20. Loudon Wainwright III - Ever Since The World Ended
single (2019)
---------

ever since the world ended
i don't go out as much
people that i once befriended
don't bother now to stay in touch

things that used to seem so splendid
don't really matter today
it's just as well the world ended
it wasn't working anyway

ever since the world ended
there's no more bible belt
remember how we all pretended
going 'round lyin' 'bout the way we felt

every rule has been amended
no one's keeping score
it's just as well the world ended
we couldn't have taken much more

ever since the world ended
there's no more black or white
ever since we all got blended
there's no more reason now to fuss and fight

dogmas that we once defended
no longer seem worthwhile
ever since the world ended
i face the future with a smile. on. my. face.

i face the future with a smile :)
