100 Favorite Songs of 2008: 40-26

26. “HIT THE WALL”  BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE PRESENTS BRENDAN CANNING
You’re used to having it all,
And it’s all gone

27. “BRUISES” CHAIRLIFT
I tried to do handstands for you, but every time I fell for you,
I’m permanently black and blue, permanently blue for you

28. “DREAM FOR ME”THE ACCIDENTAL
But yesterday was perfect and again it is tonight,
Let time begin at day

29. “VIVA LA VIDA”COLDPLAY
I used to roll the dice,
Feel the fear in my enemy’s eyes

30. “INSIDE THE CINEMA” CULTURE REJECT
Who fucking loves New York? Who is the biggest fan?
Who is a fiery cheerleader caught in some un-New York foreign land?

31. “THE HOLLOWS”WHY?
This goes out to all my underdone, other-tongued, lung-long frontmen,
And all us earth growths, some planted and some pulled

32. “YOU STOOD ME UP”BENJI HUGHES
I guess you got me, yeah you really got me,
Hundred million ways to break a heart and that’s one you taught me

33. “AS TALL AS CLIFFS”MARGOT & THE NUCLEAR SO AND SO’S
Oh, but I can’t talk to you the way I’ve wanted to,
I’ve been tellin’ lies but I’ll tell you the truth

34. “RAT IS DEAD (RAGE)”CSS
In the other side of town a car drives fast,
Hard to tell fear from happiness

35. “NO ONE’S BETTER SAKE”LITTLE JOY
I can’t defend you truly
When I worry about smoke instead of putting out the fire

36. “CAN’T SAY NO”THE HELIO SEQUENCE
Captivate, cultivate, relegate and chalk it up to the basic needs
Dissipate, isolate, these days you can’t run or believe all that you read

37. “SOON WE’LL BE FOUND”SIA
Let’s not fight, I’m tired, can’t we just sleep tonight?
Turn away, it’s just there’s nothing left here to say

38. “GAMMA RAY”BECK
If I could hold, hold out for now,
With these icecaps melting down

39. “I GOT MINE”THE BLACK KEYS
I was a movin’ man in my younger days,
But I’ve grown out of my ramblin’ ways

40. “THE CROOK OF MY GOOD ARM” an>PALE YOUNG GENTLEMEN
Run, run through the thicket and the barley,
Run, run for the sake of your good name
