DFTBA music:

“What if you were gone tomorrow, how would I know?”

“Do you want Georgia to leave? NO! NO! NO!”


Alex Day – Heart On My Sleeve
“I’d wear my heart on my sleeve.”


Alex Day – Holding On
“I’d bake a chocolate cake for you with tiers up to the roof
Because you taught me how it’s done, like you told how to fall in love.”

“I’d ride across the sky on a bicycle built for two, if you teach me how to ride, like you taught me how to feel alive.”


Alex Day – The World Is Mine (I Don’t Know Anything)
“They say time’s a healer but my watch can’t tell the time,
The left hand stuck six months ago and I can’t find the right,
I don’t know anything”


“The pen is stronger than any sharpened sword,
But every word I write to you makes me feel like a fool,
I don’t know anything.”


All Caps – Delete You
“It started with an email; you signed it with an X.
Don’t try and deny it, you knew what would come next.
You were charming and funny, and you even called me doll.
I can’t believe I bought it. You knew that I would fall.”


“It ended with an email; I can’t believe you took that road.”


“I JUST WANT TO DELETE YOU!”


All Caps – Do You Like Me?
“Do you like me, yes or no?
Do you think that I am cute?
Would you date me, you can say maybe,
I just have to know.”


“I drew in, two boxes.
Put a check mark on your answer.
Please don’t mark no.”


All Caps – I Love Brains
“I warned them of this terrible meeting but they, err, didn’t listen to me. No one listens to me.”


All Caps – I Love You
“Oh man I hate, hate, hate frigging zombies”


“You take a shot and that’s another one down but we’re out of shells and there’s still zombies around.”


All Caps – Oh Hey Kristina
“I like this nerdy girl who does nerdy things,
Who likes John Green and goes to book signing,
And while I don’t claim to be,
The awesome nerdy guy she might need”


“I’d take you to a renaissance fair,
This year there’s a dragon’s lair and
I’ll be your dashing knight,
You’ll be dressed in white and I’ll ride into the night to your rescue”


Chameleon Circuit – An Awful Lot of Running to Do
“As a full time companion he gave me a key,
A phone with a signal in every galaxy.”


Chameleon Circuit – Blink
“Sally Sparrow I wrote you a letter to make you feel better about the fact that I’m gone.
I may be stuck in the past but the future is vast;
Don’t go looking for me, girl, you have to move on.”


“Now listen very carefully to what he’s got to say:
Don’t turn your back and don’t turn away.”


“I’m sure nothing would happen, if I were to blink.”


Chameleon Circuit – Exterminate, Regenerate
“You know that it is not too late, to hop into my ship, and leave time turning.”


Chameleon Circuit – Gallifreyan History 101
“Good morning class, I’m you’re professor, I’m going to be giving you your lecture today. Now just so that we’re all clear, this is Gallifreyan History 101, so, please make sure you’re in the right class. There’s always one, isn’t there. Right, we’ve got a lot to cover, so, let’s get started.


At first we were just Gallifreyans and that was fine.
Taking up space and biding our time.
Then Rassilon, came along,
With his ever present sense of right and wrong.
He was strong, he was mighty,
He was the founder of Time Lord Society.”


Hank Green – A Song about an Anglerfish
“Yeah, the deep sea anglerfish has no reason to be happy but she has no frigging idea, what else to be.”


“The deep sea anglerfish never has to find a mate.
They are always there together when it’s time to procreate.
One night a young male will bite a female on her side and soon he will become a sperm producing parasite.”


Hank Green –You’re not Edward Cullen
“I can’t love you because you’re not Edward Cullen”


Mike Lombardo – Abbey Never
“They said ‘Always call when you get there’ and she always called but they watched her all the time, and Abbey’s always fine.”


Mike Lombardo – That Will Be the Day
“It’s not fate if you’ve worked all your life just to make it real.”

The Oceanic Six – Monster Ate the Pilot:
“Monster ate the pilot and the power healed Carla.
Numbers been repeated now for sixteen years non-stop.
There’s something about this island that I
Can’t quite explain.”


“Polar bears are native to these subtropical climates
And there’s a fugitive aboard with a history of violence.
Smokey chased me through the jungle
Now I’m counting backwards from five.
All that’s left to say is:
Guys where are we? We’re lost”


“Woa oh, waoh oh, 4, 8.. 15.. 16, 23, 42.”


“I’ve seen Jurassic Park enough to know I should be worried,
But all that comes to mind to say is:
Guys, where are we? We’re lost.”


Tom Milsom – Indigo
“Orange, yellow, green and malachite, ultramarine, light plum and eggshell white. International Klein, blue, maroon, azure, magenta, midnight blue, harlequin and heliotrope, tea, tan, turquoise, teal and tope, amaranth and ivory; cosmic latte, tangerine.”


“If I matter to you, then all I would see is indigo for you.”


Tom Milsom – Olivia Deliberated (Cat song II)


“We’ve talked about the birds and bees, so why you hiding this from me-e-e”


Tom Milsom – Porphyrophobia


“When you’re looking for that someone and then someone comes along it never enters in your head that that someone could be wrong.”


Tom Milsom – Trockstuff EP


“We’ve reached the end, but it’s not the final curtain.
In fact I’m almost certain, a new world’s opening for me.”

From Margate to Moldova
If you know just where to look.”
