- Fire and The Thud, Arctic Monkeys
- "In the jostling crowd / You’re not allowed to tell the truth / And the photobooth's a liar! / There's a sharpened explanation / But there's no screaming reason to inquire / I’d like to poke them in their prying eyes / with things they never see / if it smacked them in their temples."
- Bored Games, Wild Nothing
- "Where are you going? / Can I come with you? / You just don't feel right without you"
- Slow Show, The National
- "I wanna hurry home to you / Put on a slow, dumb show for you and crack you up / So you can put a blue ribbon on my brain / God I'm very, very frightening, I'll overdo it"
- Terrible Love, The National
- "It's a terrible love / And I'm walking with spiders / And I can't fall asleep / Without a little help / It takes awhile / To settle down / My ship of hopes"
- Mother Love, Queen
- "My body's aching, but I can't sleep / My dreams are all the company I keep / Got such a feeling as the sun goes down / I'm coming home to my sweet - Mother love."
- Manhattan, Ella Fitzgerald
- "I've a cozy little flat in / what is known as old Manhattan / we'll settle down / right here in town! / We'll turn Manhattan / into an isle of joy!"
- Little Dysfunk You, The Ark
- "I know many who are worse off than you / But you stick to your fuck-ups like they're made out of glue / Little dysfunk you, now what you gonna do?"
- I Am Not A Robot, Marina & The Diamonds
- "It’s okay to say you’ve got a weak spot / You don’t always have to be on top / Better to be hated than love, love, loved for what you’re not / You’re vulnerable, you’re vulnerable / You are not a robot / You’re loveable, so loveable / But you’re just troubled"
- Girls, Marina & The Diamonds
- "Look like a girl but I think like a guy / Not ladylike to behave like a slime / Easy to be sleazy when you've got a filthy mind"
- Futile Devices, Sufjan Stevens
- "And I would say I love you, but saying it out loud is hard / So I won't say it at all / And I won't stay very long"
- White Blank Page, Mumford & Sons
- "You desired my attention but denied my affections"
- Seven Nation Army (Glitch Mob remix), White Stripes
- "Everyone knows about it / From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell"
