End of year picspam of sorts

[magicallaw]

So, picspammy are having their 'Best of 2008' challenge for December, where people make picspams of their favourite TV moments, films, books etc. Wanting to do something a little different, I decided I would make one of my favourite songs for 2008. Unfortunately my memory is rubbish, but my Last.FM page has kindly informed me of my most listened to songs of the year. So, I present to you...





1. The obligatory song from a fanmix: Shadowplay - The Killers



In the shadowplay acting out your own death, knowing no more
As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor
And with cold steel, odour on their bodies made a move to connect
I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left.


2. The obligatory Coldply song (hey, I didn't say I wasn't going to be predictable): 42 - Coldplay



Those who are dead are not dead
They're just living my head
And since I fell for that spell
I am living there as well
Oh...

Time is so short and I'm sure
There must be something more.


3. The sneaky one that I didn't realise I listened to so much: I Want You Back - The Kooks



Take me back to the place where I
Loved that girl for all time
Why must life just take away
Every good thing one at a time.


4. The song that makes me smile like a lunatic: Happiness - Goldfrapp



Happiness
How did you get to find
Love, real love
Love, love, love

We’ll be swimming in the sea
Of wisdom and serenity
Make you better.


5. The modern classic and the song that doesn't at all make me think of the Doctor, nuh uh. No way.: Travellers Tune - Ocean Colour Scene



Where do you go buttoned in your favourite coat
Stepping out to a different world
And you might be home late
And where are you now
Staring at your favourite box
The one with the traveller's cross
On the road past the gate.


6. The random song that has appeared from nowhere on my playlist: Oxygen - JJ72



You and I
We're going so high
The air is getting thin
But our land does not breathe in
We don't need oxygen
It's dreams that binds us and locks us in
The rest are impaled by sense.


7. The one that makes me feel cool: Janie Jones - The Clash



And he knows what he's got to do
So he knows, he's gonna have fun with you
You lucky lady!
And he knows when the evening comes
When his job is done he'll be over in his car for you.


8. The one that makes me feel not so cool: Same Old Scene - Roxy Music



In our lighter moments
Precious few
It's all that heavy weather
We're going through
When I turn the corner
I can't believe
It's still the same old movie
That's haunting me.


9. The one that is actually new for 2008: Two Doors Down - The Mystery Jets



I think I'm in love
With the girl next door
It's driving me crazy
I can't take it anymore
I hear her playing the drums late at night
The neighbours complain but thats the kind of girl I like.


10. The obligatory indie anthem: Away From Here - The Enemy



I'm so sick, sick, sick and tired
Of working just to be retired
I don't want to get that far
I don't want your company car
Promotions ain't my thing
Name badges are not interesting
It's much easier for me see
To stay at home with Richard and Judy.
