Keane - Somewhere Only We Know (Acoustic from Best of Keane)

"Somewhere Only We Know"

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete

Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?

Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go?
So why don't we go?

Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah

This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?

Alex Turner - Piledriver Waltz

"I etched the face of a stopwatch
On the back of a raindrop
And did a swap for the sand in an hourglass"
This kind of gives the listener the idea of nothing lasting forever. Everything is as delicate and everlasting as a raindrop. It gives the idea of urgency and time running out. Everything is limited.

"I heard an unhappy ending
It sort of sounds like you leaving
I heard the piledriver waltz
It woke me up this morning"
He can see that she's going to leave and they will not have their happily ever after. "piledriver waltz" may just be an oxymoronic metaphor to describe roadwork outside his house. I like the idea of the contradicting images of a loud brutal piledirver and soft delicate waltz. 

"You look like you've been for breakfast at the Heartbreak Hotel
And sat in the back booth by the pamphlets and the literature on how to lose
Your waitress was miserable and so was your food
If you're gonna try and walk on water make sure you wear your comfortable shoes"
I feel like this one is about her body image issues? which may just be an interpretation that is too literal. "pamphlets and literature on how to lose" weight? her food was miserable because she can't bear to eat it. the first line links this back to her relationship. her inecurities might be getting in the way of the relationship. she can't lover herself and therefore can;t love the singer of the song. "if you're gonna walk on water wear comfortable shoes" sounds like him telling her don't try to be perfect because that's impossible.

Alex Turner - Hiding Tonight

"Hiding Tonight"

Tomorrow I'll be quicker
I'll stare into the strobe light flicker
And afloat I'll stay
But I'm quite alright hiding today

Tomorrow I'll be faster
I'll catch what I've been chasing after
And have time to play
But I'm quite alright hiding today

And I will play the coconut shy
And win a prize even if it's rigged
I won't know when to stop
And you can leave off my lid, and I won't even lose my fizz
I'll be the polka dots type
I'll know the way back, if you know the way
But if you are, I am quite alright, hiding today

Tomorrow I'll be stronger, running colorful
No longer just in black and white
And I'm quite alright hiding tonight

And I will have a game on the coconut shy
And win a prize even if it's rigged
I won't know when to stop
And you can leave off my lid, and I won't even lose my fizz
I'll be the polka dots type

I'll probably swim through a few lagoons
I'll have a spring in my step
And I'll get there soon
To sing you a happy tune, tomorrow

And you better bring a change of clothes
So we can sail our laughing pianos along a beam of light
But I'm quite alright
Hiding tonight
