Eric Hutchinson - Rock N Roll


I heard this song on the radio tonight. 
I had never heard it before, although it's been out since 2008. 
Something about it just got under my skin and made me want to dance... 
Watch it here

Lyrics below:

He's been waiting around for the weekend

Figuring which club to sneak in
Fancy drinks and fifty-dollar cover charge
Lately it's been a big hassle
Heineken and New Castle
To make sure he's fitting in and living large
Disregard the lies that he will tell
and what he's probably like 'cause

It's not hard his charm is gonna
Get him through the night

If he wanna rock he rocks
If he wanna roll he rolls
He can roll with the punches
Long as he feels like he's in control
If he wanna stay he stays
If he wanna go he goes

He doesn't care how he gets there

Long as he gets somewhere he knows oh no
ah na na na na na na na na na na na
ah na na na na na na na na na na na
See her heavy make up and cut t-shirt

Every girl out wants to be her
But they look the same already why adjust
Reading the magazine secrets
Forget the topical regrets
'Cause If she comes home all alone the nights a bust
It's a must the swivel in her hips
And the look she gives
It's all her trust if only in the morning
She knew where she lived

'Cause If she wanna rock she rocks
If she wanna roll she rolls
She can roll with the punches
Long as she feels like she's in control
If she wanna stay she stays
If she wanna go she goes
She doesn't care how she gets there
Long as she gets somewhere she knows oh no
ah na na na na na na na na na na na
ah na na na na na na na na na na na

And in a wink they're on the brink
From drink to drink and at the bar
With cash to blow
From shot to shot it's getting hot
Advance the plot to see how far
It's gonna go

All depends so ditch the friends
And grab a cab
Another chance for cheap romance
Doesn't count cause the room is spinning
Nothing to lose tonight they both are winning
And they fall in love as they fall in bed
They sing

If they wanna rock they rock

If they wanna roll they roll

They can roll with the punches

Long as they feel like they're in control

If they wanna stay they stay

If they wanna go they go

They don't care how they get there

Long as they get somewhere they know oh no

ah na na na na na na na na na na na...

Regina Spektor / Ben Folds - You Don't Know Me... At All


I've had this Regina Spektor/ Ben Folds song stuck in my head for a few days.

So, watch it here and you can get it stuck in your head, too ;-)

I wanna ask you -

Do you ever sit and wonder,
It's so strange
That we could be together for
So long, and never know, never care
What goes on in the other one's head?

Things I've felt but I've never said
You said things that I never said
So I'll say something that I should have said long ago:
(You don't know me)
You don't know me at all
(You don't know me)
You don't know me at all (at all)

You could have just propped me up on the table like a mannequin
Or a cardboard stand-up and paint me (paint me)
Any face that you wanted me
To be seen.

We're
Damned by the existential moment where
We saw the couple in the coma and
It was we were the cliché,
But we carried on anyway.

So, sure, I could just close my eyes.
Yeah, sure, trace and memorize,
But can you go back once you know

(You don't know me)
You don't know me at all
(You don't know me)
You don't know me at all (at all)

(You don't know me)
You don't know me at all
(You don't know me)
You don't know me

If I'm the person that you think I am (Ah ah ahh)
Clueless chump you seem to think I am (Ah ah ahhh)
So easily led astray,
An errant dog who occasionally escapes and needs a shorter leash, then
Why the fuck would you want me back?!

Maybe it's because
(You don't know me at all)
Ahhh ah
Ahhh ah
(You don't know me,
you don't know me.)

Ahhh ah
Ahhh ah
So, what I'm trying to say is
What (What?)
I'm trying to tell you
It's not gonna come out like I wanna say it cause I know you'll only change it.
(Say it.)



(You don't know me)

You don't know me at all

(You don't know me)

You don't know me at all (at all)



(You don't know me)

You don't know me at all

(You don't know me)

You don't know me at all (at all)



What?



(Mmmm, ohh oh

Ah ah ah ah ah

Aha ah ah ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Aha ah

Ah ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Oh-oh-oh-oh oh ohh)
