War Child Presents Heroes soundtrack lyrics -- Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat .. Beck


Well, I see you got your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat
Yes, I see you got your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat
Well, you must tell me, baby
How your head feels under somethin' like that
Under your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat

Well, you look so pretty in it
Honey, can I jump on it sometime?
Yes, I just wanna see
If it's really that expensive kind
You know it balances on your head
Just like a mattress balances
On a bottle of wine
Your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat

Well, if you wanna see the sun rise
Honey, I know where
We'll go out and see it sometime
We'll both just sit there and stare
Me with my belt
Wrapped around my head
And you just sittin' there
In your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat

Well, I asked the doctor if I could see you
It's bad for your health, he said
Yes, I disobeyed his orders
I came to see you
But I found him there instead
You know, I don't mind him cheatin' on me
But I sure wish he'd take that off his head
Your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat

Well, I see you got a new boyfriend
You know, I never seen him before
Well, I saw him
Makin' love to you
You forgot to close the garage door
You might think he loves you for your money
But I know what he really loves you for
It's your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat


War Child Presents Heroes soundtrack lyrics -- Victoria .. The Kooks


Long ago life was clean
Sex was bad and obscene
And the rich were so mean
Stately homes for the Lords
Croquet lawns, village greens
Victoria was my queen
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, 'toria

I was born, lucky me
In a land that I love
Though I am poor, I am free
When I grow I shall fight
For this land I shall die
Let her sun never set
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, 'toria
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, toria

Land of hope and gloria
Land of my Victoria
Land of hope and gloria
Land of my Victoria
Victoria, 'toria
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, 'toria

Canada to India
Australia to Cornwall
Singapore to Hong Kong
From the West to the East
From the rich to the poor
Victoria loved them all
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, 'toria
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria


War Child Presents Heroes soundtrack lyrics -- Atlantic City .. The Hold Steady


Well they blew up
the chicken man
in Philly
last night now
they blew up
his house too
Down on the boardwalk
they're gettin' ready
for a fight gonna see
what them racket boys
can do

Now
there's trouble busin'
in from outta state
and the D.A.
can't get no relief
Gonna be a rumble out
on the promenade
and the
gamblin' commissions
hangin' on
by the skin
of its teeth

Everything dies
baby that's a fact
But maybe everything
that dies
someday comes back
Put your makeup
on fix
your hair up pretty
and meet me tonight
in Atlantic City

Well I got a job
and tried
to put my money away
But I got in too deep
and I could not pay
So I drew what I had
from the Central Trust
And I bought us
two tickets
on that Coast City bus

Everything dies
baby that's a fact
But maybe everything
that dies someday
comes back
Put your makeup
on fix
your hair up pretty
and meet me tonight
in Atlantic City

Now our luck
may have died
and our love
may be cold
but with you
forever I'll stay
We're goin' out
where the sands
turnin' to gold
so put
on your stockin's
cause the nights
gettin' cold
and maybe
everything dies
That's a fact
but maybe
everything
that dies someday
comes back

Now
I been lookin'
for a job
but it's hard
to find
Down here
it's just winners
and losers
and don't get
caught on
the wrong side
of that line
Well I'm tired
of comin' out
on the losin' end
So honey
last night
I met this guy
and I'm gonna do
a little favor
for him
Well
I guess
everything dies
baby that's a fact
But maybe everything
that dies
someday comes back
Put your makeup
on fix
your hair up pretty
and meet me tonight
in Atlantic City


War Child Presents Heroes soundtrack lyrics -- Transmission .. Hot Chip


Radio
Live transmission.
Radio
Live transmission.

Listen
To the silence
Let it ring on.
Eyes
Dark grey lenses
Frightened
Of the sun.
We would have
A fine time
Living
In the night,
Left to blind
Destruction,
Waiting
For our sight.

And we would go on
As though nothing
Was wrong.
And hide
From these days
We remained
All alone.
Staying
In the same place
Just staying
Out the time.
Touching
From a distance,
Further
All the time

Dance, dance, dance
Dance
Dance to the radio.
Dance, dance, dance
Dance
Dance to the radio.
Dance, dance, dance
Dance
Dance, to the radio.
Dance, dance, dance
Dance
Dance, to the radio.

Well
I could call out
When the going
Gets tough.
The things
That we've learnt
Are
No longer enough.
No language
Just sound
That's all
We need know
To synchronise
Love to the beat
Of the show.

And we could dance.

Dance, dance, dance
Dance
Dance to the radio.
Dance, dance, dance
Dance
Dance, to the radio.
Dance, dance, dance
Dance
Dance, to the radio.
Dance, dance, dance
Dance
Dance, to the radio


War Child Presents Heroes soundtrack lyrics -- Straight To Hell .. Lily Allen Featuring Mick Jones


If you can play
on the fiddle
How's about a british
jig and reel?
Speaking king's english
in quotation
As railhead towns
feel the steel mills
rust water froze
In the generation
Clear as winter ice
This is your paradise

There ain't no need for ya
Go straight to hell boys

Y'wanna join in a chorus
Of the amerasian blues?
When it's christmas out
in ho chi minh city
Kiddie say papa papa
papa papa-san take me home
See me got photo photo
Photograph of you
Mamma mamma mamma-san
Of you
and mamma mamma mamma-san
Lemme tell ya 'bout
your blood bamboo kid.
It ain't Coca-Cola
it's rice.

Straight to hell
Oh papa-san
Please take me home
Oh papa-san
Everybody
they wanna go home
So mamma-san says

You wanna play
mind-crazed banjo
On the druggy-drag
ragtime u.s.a.?
In parkland international
Hah! junkiedom u.s.a.
Where procaine proves
the purest rock man groove
And rat poison
The volatile molatov says

Pssst...
Hey chico
we got a message for ya...
Vamos vamos muchacho
From alphabet city
all the way a to z,
dead, head

Go straight to hell

Can you really
cough it up
loud and strong
The immigrants
They wanna sing
all night long
It could be anywhere
Most likely
could be any frontier
Any hemisphere
No man's land
and there
ain't no asylum here
King solomon
he never lived round here

Go straight to hell boys


War Child Presents Heroes soundtrack lyrics -- Sheena Is A Punk Rocker .. Yeah Yeah Yeahs


Well the kids
Are all
Hopped up
And ready to go
They're ready
To go now
They got
Their surfboards
And they're going
To the
Discotheque
Au Go Go
But she just
Couldn't stay
She had
To break away
Well
New York City
Really
Has it all
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah

Sheena

Sheena
Is a punk rocker
Sheena
Is a punk rocker
Now
She's
A punk punk
A punk rocker
Punk punk
A punk rocker
Punk punk
A punk rocker

War Child Presents Heroes soundtrack lyrics -- Live And Let Die .. Duffy


When you
Were young
And your heart
Was an open book
You used to say
Live and let live
(You know you did
You know you did
You know you did)
But if this
Ever-changing world
In which we live in
Makes you give in
And cry

Say live
And let die
(Live and let die)
Live and let die
(Live and let die)

What does it
Matter to you?
When you got
A job to do
You got to do
It well
You got to give
The other
Fellow hell

You used to say
Live and let live
(You know you did
You know you did
You know you did)
But if this
Ever-changing world
In which we live in
Makes you give in
And cry

Say live
And let die
(Live and let die)
Live and let die
(Live and let die)


War Child Presents Heroes soundtrack lyrics -- Superstition .. Estelle


Very
Superstitious
Writing's
On the wall
Very
Superstitious
Ladders
Bout' to fall
Thirteen month
Old baby
Broke
The lookin' glass
Seven years
Of bad luck
The good things
In your past

When you
Believe in things
That you
Don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition
Ain't the way

Very
Superstitious
Wash your face
And hands
Rid me
Of the problem
Do all
That you can
Keep me in
A daydream
Keep me
Goin' strong
You don't wanna
Save me
Sad is my song

When you
Believe in things
That you
Don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition
Ain't the way
Yeah, yeah

Very
Superstitious
Nothin' more
To say
Very
Superstitious
The devil's
On his way
Thirteen month
Old baby
Broke
The lookin' glass
Seven years
Of bad luck
Good things
In your past

When you believe
In things
That you
Don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition
Ain't the way
No, no, no


War Child Presents Heroes soundtrack lyrics -- Wonderful / Song For Children .. Rufus Wainwright


She belongs there left with her liberty
Never known as a non-believer
She laughs and stays in the won-won-won-wonderful

She knew how to gather the forest when
God reached softly and moved her body
One golden locket
Quite young and loving her mother and father

Farther down the path was a mystery
Through the recess the chalk and numbers
A boy bumped into the won-won-won-wonderful

All fall down and lost in the mystery
Lost it all to a non-believer
And all that's left is a girl
Who's loved by her mother and father

She'll return in love with the mystery
Never known as a non-believer
She'll sigh and thank God for won-won-won-wonderful


War Child Presents Heroes soundtrack lyrics -- Do The Strand .. Scissor Sisters


There's
A new sensation
A fabulous creation
A danceable solution
To teenage revolution
Do the Strand love
When you feel love
It's the new way
That's why we say
Do the Strand
Do it
On the tables
Quaglino's place
Or Mabel's
Slow and gentle

Sentimental
All styles
Served here
Louis Seize
He prefer
Laissez-faire
Le Strand
Tired
Of the tango
Fed up
With fandango
Dance
On moonbeams
Slide
On rainbows
In furs
Or blue jeans
You know
What I mean
Do the Strand

Had your fill
Of Quadrilles
The Madison
And cheap thrills
Bored
With the Beguine
The samba
Isn't your scene
They're
Playing our tune
By the pale moon
We're incognito
Down the Lido
And we like
The Strand
Arabs at oasis
Eskimos
And Chinese

If you feel blue
Look through
Who's Who
See La Goulue
And Nijinsky
Do the Strandsky
Weary of the Waltz
And mashed
Potato schmaltz
Rhododendron
Is a nice flower
Evergreenin'
It lasts forever
But it
Can't beat
Strand power
The Sphynx
And Mona Lisa
Lolita
And Guernica
Did the (drum)
Strand


War Child Presents Heroes soundtrack lyrics -- Search And Destroy .. Peaches


I'm a street walking cheetah
With a heart full of napalm
I'm a runaway son
Of the nuclear A-bomb
I am
A world's forgotten boy
The one
Who searches and destroys
Honey gotta help me please
Somebody gotta save my soul
Baby detonates for me
Look out honey,
'Cause
I'm using technology
Ain't got time
To make no apology
Soul radiation
In the dead of night
Love in the middle
Of a fire fight
Honey gotta strike me blind
Somebody gotta save my soul
Baby penetrates my mind
And I'm
The world's forgotten boy
The one who's searchin',
Searchin' to destroy
And honey
I'm the world's
Forgotten boy
The one who's searchin'
Searchin' to destroy
Forgotten boy
Forgotten boy
Forgotten boy said
Hey forgotten boy

 


War Child Presents Heroes soundtrack lyrics -- Take This Waltz (Toma Este Waltz) .. Adam Cohen


Now in vienna there's ten pretty women
There's a shoulder where death comes to cry
There's a lobby with nine hundred windows
There's a tree where the doves go to die
There's a piece that was torn from the morning
And it hangs in the gallery of frost
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Take this waltz, take this waltz
Take this waltz with the clamp on it's jaws

Oh I want you, I want you, I want you
On a chair with a dead magazine
In the cave at the tip of the lily
In some hallways where love's never been
On a bed where the moon has been sweating
In a cry filled with footsteps and sand
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Take this waltz, take this waltz
Take it's broken waist in your hand

This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz
With it's very own breath of brandy and death
Dragging it's tail in the sea

There's a concert hall in vienna
Where your mouth had a thousand reviews
There's a bar where the boys have stopped talking
They've been sentenced to death by the blues
Ah, but who is it climbs to your picture
With a garland of freshly cut tears?
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Take this waltz, take this waltz
Take this waltz it's been dying for years

There's an attic where children are playing
Where I've got to lie down with you soon
In a dream of hungarian lanterns
In the mist of some sweet afternoon
And I'll see what you've chained to your sorrow
All your sheep and your lilies of snow
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Take this waltz, take this waltz
With it's "i'll never forget you, you know!"

This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz ...

And I'll dance with you in vienna
I'll be wearing a river's disguise
The hyacinth wild on my shoulder,
My mouth on the dew of your thighs
And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook,
With the photographs there, and the moss
And I'll yield to the flood of your beauty
My cheap violin and my cross
And you'll carry me down on your dancing
To the pools that you lift on your wrist
Oh my love, oh my love
Take this waltz, take this waltz
It's yours now. it's all that there is.


War Child Presents Heroes soundtrack lyrics -- Running To Stand Still .. Elbow


And so she woke up
She woke up
From where
She was lying still.
Said
I gotta do something
About
Where we're going.

Step on a fast train
Step out
Of the driving rain
Maybe
Run
From the darkness
In the night.
Singing ah
Ah la la la de day
Ah la la la de day.

Sweet the sin
Bitter the taste
In my mouth.
I see seven towers
But I only see
One way out.
You gotta cry
Without weeping
Talk
Without speaking
Scream
Without raising
Your voice.

You know
I took the poison
From
the poison stream
Then I floated
Out of here, singing
ah la la la de day
ah la la la de day.

She walks
Through the streets
With her eyes
Painted red
Under black belly
Of cloud in the rain.
In through a doorway
She brings me
White golden pearls
Stolen from the sea.

She is ragin'
She is ragin'
And the storm
Blows up
In her eyes.
She will suffer
The needle chill
She's running
To stand still


War Child Presents Heroes soundtrack lyrics -- You Belong To Me .. The Like


What are
You girls
Gonna tell
Your mother?
I don't want
To hear
Another word
About
Young lovers
Or hiding
Your boyfriend
In the cupboard
She's been
To see the doctor
So you hope
That she recovers

You act dumb
You say
You're so numb
You say
You don't come
Under his thumb

Don't wanna be
A goody-goody
I don't want
Just anybody
No
I don't want
Anybody
Saying
'You belong to me
You belong to me

Your eyes
Are absent
Your mouth
Is silent
Pumping like
A fire hydrant
Things you see
Are
Getting hard
To swallow
You're
Easily led
But
You're much
Too scared
To follow

You've been
Warned
You're going
To get torn
No uniform
Is gonna keep
You warm


War Child Presents Heroes soundtrack lyrics -- Heroes .. TV On The Radio


I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day
We can be Heroes, just for one day

And you, you can be mean
And I, I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact
Yes we're lovers, and that is that

Though nothing, will keep us together
We could steal time,
just for one day
We can be Heroes, for ever and ever
What d'you say?

I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing,
nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, for ever and ever
Oh we can be Heroes,
just for one day

I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be Heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day

I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns shot above our heads
(over our heads)
And we kissed,
as though nothing could fall
(nothing could fall)
And the shame was on the other side
Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever
Then we could be Heroes,
just for one day

We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be Heroes

We're nothing, and nothing will help us
Maybe we're lying,
then you better not stay
But we could be safer,
just for one day

Oh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh,
just for one day
