A-Side: James

The Oil Slick // Frightened Rabbit

I went looking for a song for you
Something soft and patient to reflect its muse
I took a walk with my brightest thoughts
But the weather soon turned and they ran off

Took to the ocean, in a boat this time
Only an idiot would swim through the shit I write

Beethoven: Piano Sonata #14 In C Sharp Minor, Op. 27, No. 2, "Moonlight" - Adagio Sostenuto // Daniel Barenboim

Instrumental

I Need Some Fine Wine And You, You Need To Be Nicer // The Cardigans

So I need some fine wine, and you, you need to be nicer
For the good times and the bad times
That we'll have

Stick the Kettle on (Acoustic) // Scouting For Girls & Ray Strike

And if you're low
You're not alone
I hope you know
Sometimes we get it wrong
Stick the kettle on

English Tea // Paul McCartney

Would you care to sit with me
For a cup of English tea?
Very twee
Very me
Any sunny morning

Maybe I'm Amazed // Paul McCartney & Wings

Baby, I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time
And maybe I'm afraid of the way I love you
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you pulled me out of time
You hung me on a line
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you

Little Honda // The Beach Boys

It's not a big motorcycle
Just a groovy little motorbike
It's more fun than a barrel of monkeys
That two-wheel bike
We'll ride on out of the town
To any place I know you like

Bach: Cantata BWV147 'Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben' - X. Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring // Jayson Gillham

Instrumental

Easy Lover // Phil Collins

She's an easy lover
She'll take your heart but you won't feel it
She's like no other
And I'm just trying to make you see

Wish You Were Here // Pink Floyd

We're just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl
Year after year

Afternoon Tea // The Kinks

I take sugar with tea (afternoon tea)
You take milk if you please (afternoon tea)
Like you talking to me
Because you ease my mind

Wonderful World // Sam Cooke

Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the French I took

But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me, too
What a wonderful world this would be
