music friday: 1996

Sleater-Kinney, "Good Things".

why do good things never wanna stay?
some things you lose, some things you give away

Nas, "If I Ruled the World (Imagine That)".

If I ruled the world
I'd free all my sons

Everclear, "Santa Monica". Cheating ... single released in December of '95.

We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
Watch the world die

Bonus: Crystal Waters, "The Boy from Ipanema".

When he walks he's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
