nimhiril | Don't Read My Diary - a Mix for the Tenth Doctor

Explanation:
Imagine an avid Doctor Who fan (perhaps me), who loved the Ninth Doctor, and giggled uncontrollably at David Tennant in Casanova and Blackpool. But then the second season began, and this fan feels a little ... disappointed. Number Ten, this mix is directed towards you. Take notes, listen, draw conclusions from the songs. Do you see how conflicted I feel towards you? (But I won't give up hope on you.)

Don't Read My Diary - a Mix for the Tenth Doctor

01. Nobody Does It Better - Aimee Mann
Nobody does it better
Sometimes I wish someone could
Nobody does it quite the way you do
Do you have to be so good?

02. The Boy Won't Break - Robin Aigner
You say you're not of this world
Not ready for a girl

03. Louis XIV - Louis XIV
Well I'm a portal into blue collar human psychology
I need a fix, I don't need no apology
And all the kids on the street
They think I'm neat neat neat neat neat

04. Stupid - The Long Winters
My friend, you called me stupid then, but you’re the one that doesn’t see

05. The Late Great Cassiopia - The Essex Green
I was born today in a northern constellation
The minor where a major wants to be

06. Where Have All The Rude Boys Gone - Ted Leo & the Pharmacists
tension is high under sea and over sky.
pressure drop, people are acting foolish.
ooh - but it's easy to see!
ooh - we could dance and be free.

07. The Boy Done Wrong Again - Belle & Sebastian
Talking dirty, for a hobby that's all right
Pour another glass of wine
I'll think of England this time

08. Leaves Do Fall - The Rosebuds
You've been gone too long
Where can you be?
They said three months
You'd come for me

09. Hold Me, I'm Falling - Mychael Danna
[instrumental]

10. Vain - Bishop Allen
she sees an angel
sittin' on top of her shoulder
watchin' as she slowly gets older

11. Angels with Enemies - Lovedrug
and in the right light
we're just angels with enemies

12. Brilliant Mistake - Elvis Costello
He came third or fourth and there were more than one or two
He was a fine idea at the time
Now he's a brilliant mistake

13. The Absence of God - Rilo Kiley
All of your failures are training grounds
And just as your back's turned you'll be surprised, she says
As your solitude subsides

14. You're the Reason I'm Leaving - Franz Ferdinand
I'd no idea that in four years
I'd be hanging from a beam
Behind the door of number ten

15. Another Train - The Poozies
The beginning is now and will always be
You say you lost your chance, then fate brought you defeat
But that means nothing, you look so sad
You've been listening to those who say you missed your chance

16. Live Through This - Rubyhorse
Smile, it's not the end of the world
As far as I can tell, everything
Is still the same

17. In a Graveyard - Rufus Wainwright
Worldly sounds of endless warring
Were for just a moment silent stars
Worldly boundaries of dying
Were for just a moment never ours
