Flashback: SOTD 11 & 12

The 11th song is from the band The Matches and the song is called "Wake the Sun".



Every dawn gets its day like
Every frown gets her way like
Every step to the daylight keeps you stumbling on
Every backward blackbird
Standing out through the rafters
So sure he can meet her
Thinks he bears a tone
So wake up, wake up, wake the sun

Wake up, wake up, wake the sun
Wake up, wake up, hanging like a chain
Wake up, wake up, wake the sun
Wake up, wake up, hanging like a chain
Wait for, wait for the first train

Man dragging a sheep skin
Preaching reeking of weekend
To the siren speaking tongues of kingdom come
Every dawn gets its day like
Every gal gets her way like
Every step that I lay down brings me where I'm from
To lay down, lay down, to lay my cross

Wake up, wake up, wake the sun
Wake up, wake up, hanging like a chain
Wake up, wake up, wake the sun
Wake up, wake up, hanging like a chain
Wait for, wait for the first train

Oh oh, ohhh
Oh oh, ohhh that train

Wake up, wake up, wake the sun
Wake up, wake up, hanging like a chain
Wait for, wait for the first train

Who hired the walls of the station
To arrest my imagination
Profit from my place under the callous thumb
Every dawn gets its day like
Man, they blindly parade like
Every step that we weigh down plays out like a drum
To wake up, shake up, to wake the sun

Wake up, wake up, wake the sun
Wake up, wake up, hanging like a chain
Wake up, wake up, wake the sun
Wake up, wake up, hanging like a chain
Wait for, wait for the first train




The 12th song is by Carpark North. Another band where none of the video or songs can go wrong. The video I chose was the one that introduced me to them, so now, I show it to you. Enjoy!

You're so right and you don't think you're wrong
You're not on the list and you're not in my songs
I did right to walk and just leave you there
'cause no one can stand your fear of fear
so wrong and you still think your right
and I was too old to pick that fight
and nothing you touched is changed today
I broke up with you 'cause you didn't change - me
yeah!
yes it's human
it's just human
you noticed?
yeah!
you're just human
did you notice?
damn right!
You're so right and you don't think you're wrong
You're not on the list and you're not in my songs
I did right to walk and just leave you there
'cause no one can stand your fear of fear
yeah!
yes it's human
it's just human
you noticed?
yeah!
you're just human
did you notice?
damn right!
