bulletproof (that's not my name) - a writing tracklist

[be_themoon]

Soundtrack for the thing I'm doing for Script Frenzy. It's just a stress reliever, really. Fun and a little bit silly. (... Not that you could tell from the soundtrack.) A bit of superheroing, a lot of people who have something to prove or just want to have fun, the lessons they learn, the ways they find out this isn't something you can just do for fun. The people they lose, or almost lose. This time around, they're going to be bulletproof. 

Hustle – Tunng

And we will hustle, hustle, hustle to be free
…
In favour of the mean, mean, moves,
And back doors to the heart from where we always, always fall apart

Imitosis – Andrew Bird

Anything but hear the voice that says we’re all basically alone

Hope On Fire - Vienna Teng

You're a one-man shift in the weather
You're the woman who just won't sell
Climbing up and ringing the bell
Oooh you're gonna make your mark this time

Gimme Sympathy – Metric

We're so close to something better left unknown

Stays Four The Same - The Ready Set

And when my world has become a whirlwind
Will you be my white flag?
…
And I need a little more thunder, a little more lightning
A little more you, be my lantern, help me shine on through.

Fighter Girl – Mason Jennings

Hey, hey, little fighter girl, it’s you and me up against this whole wide world
sleeping together in the lion’s den

Help, I’m Alive – Metric

If you're still alive my regrets are few
If my life is mine what shouldn't I do?

One Girl Revolution – Superchick

And I'll be everything that I wanna be
I am confidence in insecurity
I am a voice yet waiting to be heard
I'll shoot the shot, bang, that you hear round the world
And I'm a one girl revolution

The Wondersmith & His Sons – Astronautilus

You trust me don't you baby? You'd hand your life to me.
Let's walk along the wire and watch the muzzles flash like lightning.

Tigerlily – La Roux

Tonight out on the streets I'm gonna follow you
…
You're gonna love what's burning right in front of you
But you won't see it by the light of the sun

Animal – Neon Trees

Here we go again, we’re sick like animals we play pretend
You’re just a cannibal and I’m afraid I won’t get out alive
No I won’t sleep tonight

Dog Days Are Over – Florence & The Machine

The dog days are over the dog days are done
The horses are coming so you better run
...
Leave all your love and your longing behind,
You can’t carry it with you if you want to survive

Stood Up - A Fine Frenzy

Cuz we are not frightened anymore,
We stood up, we stood up
And there are two of us
There will be more

Raise Your Glass - Pink

I love when it's all too much
…
All my underdogs, we will never be, never be
Anything but loud
And nitty gritty dirty little freaks

Human – The Killers

Close your eyes, clear your heart, cut the cord
Are we human, or are we dancer?
My sign is vital, my hands are cold

That’s Not My Name – The Ting Tings

That's not my name
That’s not my name

Pressing Flowers – The Civil Wars

Meet me in the gardens where the weeds grow tall
Down by the gate
I’ve got a secret that I might tell
It’ll give me away

Losing My Religion - Glee Cast Version

Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Lifesize - A Fine Frenzy

All for love we become
Larger than lifesize, wondersome
Great in the eyes of someone

Bulletproof - La Roux

Been there, done that messed around
I'm having fun, don't put me down
I'll never let you sweep me off my feet
This time, baby, I'll be bulletproof

Around Us – Jonsi

I see the walls, then see them fall
You break through them all
I see you crawl, now you stand tall
Grow and grow till tall

Weapon - Matthew Good

Careful, be careful
You breathe in and you breathe out
For ain't it so weird
How it makes you a weapon

Red – Elbow

Come as you are, sweetheart, come as you are
You know you've got nothing to prove
I'll put you to bed you can let it all go
You've been playing too rough lately

Anywhere On This Road - Lhasa de Sala

You've travelled this long, you just have to go on
Don't even look back to see how far you've come
Though your body is bending under the load
There is nowhere to stop
Anywhere on this road

Crash Years – The New Pornographers

Windows were closed for the crash years
Honey child you’re not safe here, as a rule

All The Right Moves - One Republic

They got all the right friends in all the wrong places
So yeah, we're going down
We've got all the wrong moves and all the wrong faces
So yeah, we're going down

 

Can be listened to as a Songza station here.
