trouble is a friend, a playlist to roslyn's life

o1. betty - brooke fraser

and if your eyes could talk they'd say they just don't care
before they wander off to hide inside their sockets
you've got your scars and you've got your birthmarks
you've got toronto hiding on your hip, honey
you've got your secrets, you've got your regrets, darling we all do


o2. trouble is a friend - lenka

trouble he will find you no matter where you go, oh oh
no matter if you're fast no matter if you're slow, oh oh
the eye of the storm or the cry in the morn, oh oh
you're fine for a while but then you start to lose control


o3. rox in the box - the decemberists

and it's one, two, three on the wrong side of the lee
what were you meant for, what were you meant for?
and it's seven, eight, nine you get your shovel back in line
and if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again


o4. she's got you high - mumm-ra

she's got you high and you don't even know yet
the sun's in the sky it's warming up your bare legs
you can't deny you're looking for the sunset


o5. paint's peeling - rilo kiley

i'm not going back to the assholes that made me
a perfect display, random acts of hopelessness
i wish i could stay here but i think we're all ready, think we're all ready
and i feel nothing, not safe
it's a hard day for dreaming again


o6. cathedrals - jump, little children

in the cathedrals of new york and rome
there is a feeling that you should just go home
and spend a lifetime finding out just where that is


o7. sorrow - the national

sorrow found me when i was young, sorrow waited sorrow won
sorrow that put me on the pill, it's in my honey it's in my milk
don't leave my hyper heart alone on the water
cover me in rag and bones, sympathy
'cos i don't want to get over you


o8. northshore - tegan & sara

don't feel, don't tear, don't kiss, don't care, don't touch
don't want me, don't want me, don't want me
something's so sick about this, my misery's so addictive


o9. cross your fingers - laura marling

look down on the body that you have grown
four mountains stand around you they're not your own
and light squares and bodies are all you see
since you broke down


10. laughing with a mouth of blood - st. vincent

see i traded in my plot of land for a plane to anywhere
and i can't see the future but i know it's got big plans for me
all my old friends aren't so friendly, and all my old haunts are all haunting me


11. speeding cars - imogen heap

sleeping pills, no sleeping dogs lie never far enough away
glistening in the cold sweat of guilt
i've watched you slowly winding down for years, you can't keep on like this
now's as bad a time as any


12. turn and turn again - all thieves ft. bailey tzuke

worn from walking this far, so worn from talking this much
and what we found and what we've seen as the road curves down
and the lights come up to meet us silent for the evening


roughly chronological.
