"Cough Syrup" - Glee cover (Originally done by Young the Giant)




Life's too short to even care at all oh
I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control
These fishes in the sea they're staring at me oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
A wet world aches for a beat of a drum
Oh

If I could find a way to see this straight
I'd run away
To some fortune that I should have found by now
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down, come down

Uhh ch ch ch ch

Life's too short to even care at all oh
I'm coming up now coming up now out of the blue
These zombies in the park they're looking for my heart
Oh oh oh oh
A dark world aches for a splash of the sun oh oh

If I could find a way to see this straight
I'd run away
To some fortune that I should have found by now

And so I run now to the things they said could restore me
Restore life the way it should be
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down

Life's too short to even care at all oh
I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control

If I could find a way to see this straight
I'd run away
To some fortune that I should have found by now

So I run now to the things they said could restore me
Restore life the way it should be
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down

One more spoon of cough syrup now [x2]

"Rewrite" - Darling Thieves (English Cover)

For the folks who couldn't understand this [http://cec-ramble.blogspot.com/2011/08/rewrite-asian-fung-fu-generation.html] post back in August, I just found an English cover of the song. Not as good as the original, and the translation takes some creative license, but it's fairly close in concept to the original, based on the translations I've seen.



The reason I want to spit out these sentiments
Is I have no other proof I even exist
My future that I thought I’d managed to grasp
Is a contradiction of all I though that I had

The reason I want this old image erased
Is I see my limits and I’m out of place
In the window of my own self consciousness
I see last year’s calendar with no dates on it

Now I, I rewrite all these worthless visions
And I’ll be unforgettable
Come to life and rewrite all my bad ideas
I will make them disappear before your eyes

I cut off all my youthful feelings year after year
After all they don’t mean much
They’ll soon disappear
This haunted heart, these filthy lies

Now I, I rewrite all these worthless visions
And I’ll be unforgettable
Come to life and rewrite all my bad ideas
I will make them disappear before your eyes
