Fade to Nothing
[edit]- by David Schwartz feat. Kate Markowitz, Gabriel Mann (Arrested Development Season 1 soundtrack)
Another day wasted
Waitin' for your call
I'm all alone and self-destructive
Put me in a prison
Breakin' down these walls
Take an honest look
Look right through me
All these nights
They'll fade
Fade to nothing
All a game we played
Ay-he-yay-ay
Uh-huh
I look in the mirror
When the morning comes
I think I see the truth
Right behind me
So take me as I am
Take me as you see
Take an honest look
Look right through me
All these nights
They'll fade
Fade to nothing
All a game we played
All these nights
They'll fade
Fade to nothing
All a game we played
Ay-he-yay-ay
We played
La-la-la-la
Lalala
I Wish
[edit]- sung by Ira Glass at 4:20 in episode #259 of This American Life; instrumental at 21:40
Oh the woman in Act 1 is wistful
But funny in a quiet way
And the guy in Act 2 has a tough job to do
A mission that's gone on 20 days
I only wish their stories will be gripping and special
Even though it's not the news and they're not stars
You'll remember they said
You'll mention them at dinner
And when they're on you will not leave your cars
Because it's radio...
Stories on the radio...
Can be funny and emotional
Can fill you with longing
My wish is that today's show lives up to this song and
Bring on the conflict
Let the people speak
Bring on that music we use, every week
I wish for radio...
Decent stories on the radio...
Here...
[bridge]
Oh I wish that you'll stay here
And not touch that dial
Please don't say "goodbye" or "I'll see ya"
We know you want to hear the final words we have from Tory Malatia
[Music for our original "I Wish" song at the top of today's program by Mr. Brian Morris. Thanks to Carrie Gaffney for recording that for us.]
On Automatic
[edit]I'm on automatic
And you gotta flip the switch
Baby, there's a box in the attic
But I couldn't tell you which was which
And it's become a running joke
Of what do I call simple folk
But everything will turn out fine
Things are looking up
In the meantime
Things are looking up
I'm swingin' thru the top of the valley
Feeling like the missing link
There's another schematic
Look, she's gettin' me a drink
By putting flowers on his crypt
'Cause Valentino's lost the script
Everything will turn out fine
Things are looking
In the meantime
Things are looking up
bridge:
You blew another ring
I thought you quit
Along with calling misfits
But it's me you're looking up
On automatic
The only person left to frisk
I know I'm being overdramatic
But I think I'm going to run that risk
I'm walking down that same old plank
And baby I'm about to tank
But everything will turn out fine
Things are looking up
In the meantime
Things are looking up
In the meantime
