1. “OXFORD COMMA”VAMPIRE WEEKEND
Why would you lie about something dumb like that?
Why would you lie about anything at all?

2. “WHITE WINTER HYMNAL”FLEET FOXES
With scarves of red tied ’round their throats
To keep their little heads from fallin’ in the snow

3. “ELECTRIC FEEL”MGMT
She got the power in her hand
To shock you like you won’t believe

4. “LITTLE BIT”LYKKE LI
I think I’m a little bit in love with you,
But only if you’re a little bit in love with me

5. “KIM & JESSIE” M83
Somebody lurks in the shadows,
Somebody whispers

6. “JUMP IN THE POOL”FRIENDLY FIRES
On the poolside staring into glowing blue,
Swimsuit issues with my toes curled in the grooves

7. “THE MODERN LEPER”FRIGHTENED RABBIT
You are not ill and I’m not dead,
Doesn’t that make us the perfect pair?

8. “GOLDEN AGE”TV ON THE RADIO
Let it move right in, let it kiss your face,
Let it sow your skin in perpetual embrace

9. “LIGHTS OUT”SANTOGOLD
Darling don’t got to worry, you’re locked in tight,
Darling don’t got to worry, turn out the light

10. “GfC”ALBERT HAMMOND, JR.
Inside me there’s a sad machine,
Wants to stop movin’
