Peter Murphy - Crème de la Crème

We joined this land, where they paint the ice
To find the new we thrown saturn dice
We dream in gold and simurg blue
Créme de la créme it's to death adieu

Now we're laying on new waves
Our guns have lost their victims' names
Our concrete minds have turned to dust
Angelic police have killed our lust

Now we're laying on new waves
Our guns have lost their victims' names
Our concrete minds have turned to dust
Angelic police have killed our lust

Tidal overflow reads the sign
The secret soul is all that shines
We sing our praise in model tones
And dorians mirror we do not own

We're being lit by the shining one
Out of ourselves to ourselves we've gone
We click the heels of our glitter red shoes
Créme de la créme it's to death adieu

Now we're laying...
On new waves...
Our guns have lost
Their victims names...

Out of ourselves
Out of ourselves
Out of ourselves
Out of ourselves

The secret soul
The secret soul

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Straight To You

All the towers of ivory are crumbling
And the swallows have sharpened their beaks
This is the time of our great undoing
This is the time that I'll come running
Straight to you
For I am captured
Straight to you
For I am captured
One more time

The light in our window is fading
The candle gutters on the ledge
Well now sorrow, it comes a-stealing
And I'll cry, girl, but I'll come a-running
Straight to you
For I am captured
Straight to you
For I am captured
Once again

Gone are the days of rainbows
Gone are the nights of swinging from the stars
For the sea will swallow up the mountains
And the sky will throw thunder-bolts and sparks
Straight at you
But I'll come a-running
Straight to you
But I'll come a-running
One more time

Heaven has denied us it's kingdom
The saints are drunk howling at the moon
The chariots of angels are colliding
Well, I'll run, babe, but I'll come running
Straight to you
For I am captured
Straight to you
For I am captured
One more time

PJ Harvey - The Colour of the Earth

Louis was my dearest friend
Fighting in the Anzac trench
Louis ran forward from the line
I never saw him again

Later in the dark
I thought I heard Louis' voice
Calling for his mother, then me
But I couldn't get to him

He's still up on that hill
Twenty years on that hill
Nothing more than a pile of bones
But I think of him still

If I was asked I'd tell
The colour of the earth that day
It was dull and browny-red
"The colour of blood", I'd say

Siouxsie And The Banshees - Into The Light

Into the line
I see it fine
Into the line
Our hearts entwine
Remember when
Your time again
Remember when
Your time again

Standing in the light
Always sitting on the line
Never on a side
Always wanting to be right

Standing in the light
I never wanted to be right
Now I'm attracted by the light
And blinded by the sight

Into the light

Into the light
I see it fight
Into the light
A new horizon
Bleached into white
Kept out of sight
Bleached into white
Kept out of sight

Standing in the light
Always sitting on the line
Never on a side
Pushing out the light

Standing in the light
I never wanted to be right
Now I'm attracted by the light
And blinded by the sight
Remember when
Your time again
Remember when
Your time again

Into the line
I see it fine
Into the line
Our hearts entwine
Remember when
Your time again
Remember when
Your time again

Dead ahead in the night
Burning in the light
And knowing that it's right
Driving in the night
Dead ahead in the night
Burning in the light
And knowing that it's right
Driving in the night
Remember when
Your time again
Remember when
Your time again

Into the light

The Clash - I Fought The Law

Breakin' rocks in the hot sun
I fought the law and the law won
I needed money 'cause I had none
I fought the law and the law won

I left my baby and it feels so bad
Guess my race is run
She's the best girl that I ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the

Robbin' people with a six-gun
I fought the law and the law won
I lost my girl and I lost my fun
I fought the law and the law won

I left my baby and it feels so bad
Guess my race is run
She's the best girl that I ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the

I fought the law and the law won

The Pogues - Tuesday morning

Too many sad days
Too many Tuesday mornings
I thought of you today
I wished it was yesterday morning
I thought of you today
I dreamt you were dressed in mourning

But I knew that you
With your heart beating
And your eyes shining
Would be dreaming of me
Lying with you
On a Tuesday morning

I fell through the window
And I found that I was still breathing
I thought of tomorrow
And the fear that you might leave me
I thought of tomorrow
And I wished it was Monday morning

But I knew that you
With your heart beating
And your eyes shining
Would be dreaming of me
Lying with you
On a Tuesday morning

Turn your face from me
And I will cover myself with sorrow
Bring Hell down upon me
I will surrender my heart to sorrow
Bring Hell down upon me
And I will say goodbye tomorrow

But I knew that you
With your heart beating
And your eyes shining
Would be dreaming of me
Lying with you
On a Tuesday morning

The Cranberries - Ridiculous thoughts

Twister, oh, does anyone see through you?
You're a twister, oh, an animal.
But you're so happy, now. I didn't go along with you,
So happy now, na na na na.

But you're gonna have to hold on. You're gonna have to hold on,
You're gonna have to hold on, hold on, hold on.

Or we're gonna have to move on, we're gonna have to move on,
Or we're gonna have to move on, move on, move on.

I feel alright and I cried so hard, the ridiculous thoughts, oh.
I feel alright, alright, alright, alright.

Twister, oh, I shouldn't have trusted in you.
Twister, oh, a na na na. It's not gonna happen, no.
You're not gonna make fun of me,
Happen now, na na na na.

But you're gonna have to hold on. You're gonna have to hold on,
You're gonna have to hold on, hold on, hold on.

Or we're gonna have to move on, We're gonna have to move on,

I feel alright and I cried so hard, the ridiculous thoughts, oh.

But I cried so hard, the ridiculous thoughts, ah.
I should have lied, have lied, have lied, have lied.
But you're gonna have to hold on.

Well, you're gonna have to hold on. You're gonna have to hold on,
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold.
Well, you're gonna have to hold on,
You're gonna have to hold on,

U2 - North And South Of The River

I want to reach out over the lough
And feel your hand across the water

Walk with you along an unapproved road
Not looking over my shoulder

I want to see, and I want to hear
To understand your fears
But we're north & south of the river

I've been doing it wrong all of my life
This holy town has turned me over
A young man running from what he didn't understand
But the wind from the lough just got colder and colder

There was a badness that had it's way
Love was not lost, love will have it's day
North & south of the river
North & south of the river

Can we stop playing these old tattoos ?
Darling, I don't have the answer
I want to meet you
Where you are
I don't need you to surrender
There's no feeling
Thats so alone
As when the one you're hurting is your own
North & south of the river
North & south of the river
North & south of the river

Some high ground is not worth taking
Some connections are not worth making
There's an old church bell no longer ringing
Some old songs are not worth bringing
North (Some high ground is not worth taking)
North & south of the river

The Cult - Revolution [Full Length Remix]

Pictures of never ending dreams
I can't see what these images mean
Locked inside me
Can't set the rainbows free
Like perishing flowers
They sag and twist and die

There's a revolution
There's a revolution, yeah
There's a revolution
There's a revolution

Sorrow
What does revolution mean to you?
To say today's like wishing in the wind
All my beautiful friends have all gone away
Like the waves
They flow and ebb and die

There's a revolution
There's a revolution
There's a, there's a revolution
There's a revolution

There's a revolution
There's a revolution
There's a revolution
There's a revolution, yeah

Joy or sorrow
What does revolution mean to you?
To say today's like wishing in the wind
All my beautiful friends have all gone away
Like the waves
They flow and ebb and die

There's a revolution
There's a revolution
There's a revolution
There's a revolution

Revolution
Revolution
Revolution
Revolution

Revolution
Revolution
Revolution
Revolution, yeah

The Doors - Touch Me

Yeah! Come on, come on, come on, come on
Now touch me, baby
Can't you see that I am not afraid?
What was that promise that you made?
Why won't you tell me what she said?
What was that promise that you made?

Now, I'm gonna love you
Till the heavens stop the rain
I'm gonna love you
Till the stars fall from the sky for you and I

Come on, come on, come on, come on
Now touch me, baby
Can't you see that I am not afraid?
What was that promise that you made?
Why won't you tell me what she said?
What was that promise that you made?

I'm gonna love you
Till the heavens stop the rain
I'm gonna love you
Till the stars fall from the sky for you and I
I'm gonna love you
Till the heavens stop the rain
I'm gonna love you
Till the stars fall from the sky for you and I

Stronger than dirt

Pearl Jam - Man Of The Hour

Tidal waves don't beg forgiveness
Crashed, then on their way
Father he enjoyed collisions; others walked away
A snowflake falls in May.
And the doors are open now as the bells are ringing out
Cause the man of the hour is taking his final bow
Goodbye for now.

Nature as its own religion; gospel from the land
Father ruled by long division, young men they pretend
Old men comprehend.

And the sky breaks at dawn shedding light upon this town
They'll all come around
Cause the man of the hour is taking his final bow
Goodbye for now.

And the road
The old man paved
The broken seams along the way
The rusted signs, left just for me
He was guiding me, love, his own way
Now the man of the hour is taking his final bow
As the curtain comes down
I feel that this is just goodbye for now

R.E.M. - Be Mine

I never thought of this as funny
It speaks another world to me
I wanna be your Easter bunny
I wanna be your Christmas tree

I'll strip the world that you must live in
Of all its godforsaken greed
I'll ply the tar out of your feathers
I'll pluck the thorns out of your feet
You and me
You and me
You and me

And if I choose your sanctuary
I'll want to wash you with my hair
I'll want to drink of sacred fountains
And find the riches hidden there

I'll eat the lotus and peyote
I'll want to hear the caged-bird sing
I'll want the secrets of the temple
I'll want the finger with the ring
You and me
You and me
You and me

And if you make me your religion
I'll give you all you will need
I'll be the drawing of your breath
I'll be the cup if you should bleed
I'll be the sky above the Ganges
I'll be the vast and stormy sea
I'll be the lights that guide you inland
I'll be the visions you will see
Visions you will see
You will see
You will see
You and me
You and me
You and me
You and me
You and me
You and me

Nirvana - Where Did You Sleep Last Night? (Solo Acoustic Demo)

My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl, where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through

Her husband, was a hard working man
Just about a mile from here
His head was found in a driving wheel
But his body never was found

My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl, where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl, where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through

Sonic Youth - Protect Me You

Protect me from ravagement
I am ten years old
I don't know what I do
Protect me myself
I am fourteen
There's nothing to do
Protect me yourself
I am sixteen
Protect me from starving
I am eighteen
Protect me you
I don't know what you do
Protect me demons
That come at night
I don't know what they say
Their whispering
Sends the night air away
And makes me forget
I hope they come
Again and again

I hope they come
Again and again
I hope they come again
Again
Again
Again

Beastie Boys - Looking Down The Barrel Of A Gun

Ah!

Rolling down the hill, snowballing getting bigger
Explosion in the chamber, the hammer from the trigger
I seen him get stabbed, I watched the blood spill out
He had more cuts than my man Chuck Chillout
Twenty four is my age and twenty two is my gauge
I'm writing rhymes on a page, and going up in a rage
'Cause I'm out on a mission, a stolen car mission
Had a small problem with the transmission
Three on the tree in the middle of the night
I have this steak on my head 'cause I got into a fist fight
Life comes in phases take the good with the bad
You bought the coins on the street and you know you got had
Because it's all high spirit, you know you got to hear it
Don't touch the mic baby don't come near it
It's gonna getcha, it's gonna getcha
It's gonna getcha girl, it's gonna getcha

Looking down the barrel of a gun, son of a gun
Son of a bitch getting paid getting rich
Ultra violence be running through my head
Cold medina y'all, making me see red
Rapid fire Louie like Rambo got bullets
I'm a die harder like my kid Bruce Willis
I love girlies, waxing and milking
Coordinating shit is my man Dave Scilken
Predetermined destiny is who I am
You got your finger on the trigger like the Son of Sam
I am like Clockwork Orange, going off on the town
I've got homeboys bonanza to beat your ass down
Well I'm mad at my desk and I'll be writing all curse words
Expressing my aggressions through my schizophrenic verse words
You're a headless chicken chasin', a sucker free basin
Looking for a fist to put your face in
Well get hip get hip, don't slip ya knuckle heads
Racism is schism on the serious tip

Beck - Devils haircut

Something’s wrong cos my mind is fading
And everywhere I look there’s a dead end waiting
Temperature’s dropping at the rotten oasis
Stealing kisses from the leperous faces

Heads are hanging from the garbage man trees
Mouthwash, jukebox, gasoline
Pistols are pointing at a poor man’s pockets
Smiling eyes whipping out of their sockets

Got a devil’s haircut in my mind

Love machines on the sympathy crutches
Discount orgies on the dropout buses
Hitching a ride with the bleeding noses
Come into town with the briefcase blues

Got a devil’s haircut in my mind
Something’s wrong cos my mind is fading
Ghetto blasting, disintegrating
Rock and roll, know what I’m saying?
And everywhere I look
There’s a devil in waiting

Got a devil’s haircut in my mind

Devil’s haircut in my mind

TV On The Radio - No Future Shock

You burned up all your credit
On a family of kids who pop your pills
And smoke your pipe
And after the war broke your piggy bank
The bastards broke the world this time

So we sleep with our guns
And no jive won't get done
But we're heavy-hand high
Oh stuck in the middle of a
Silly little riddle
Control your dam, control
Till it blows your mind

Oh dance!
Don't stop!
Oh do the no future, do the no future shock
Don't stop!
Do the no future, do the no future
Oh you're aware, blow your top
Lord, do the no future, do the no future
Oh you're aware, blow your top
Oh do the no future, do the no future

Oh mother dear, did they really cop a feel
Before they robbed you blind?
We're all lacking nourishment
We searched around the world
Looks like a man's gonna drop
Tell it to me, baby girl
Fall into this burning world
Are you ready?
Here comes the cop to lock us up for smoking
Crack well...blow mountaintops
Are you ready?

Oh dance!
Don't stop!
Oh do the no future, do the no future shock
Don't stop!
Oh do the no future, do the no future shock
Don't stop!
Oh do the no future, do the no future shock
Don't stop!
Oh do the no future, do the no future

Honey and it's burning blood money
So i leave the motor running all night
Absurdities confirming me
Like want to start them up 'cause here, funny, it just doesn't seem right (so tight!)
...in the fishery
Clean water running out of sight
Come on come on
See the whores transforming
Feel it...

Oh drop
And bounce
And shake it shake it like it is the end of time
Oh see that you get down
In the town
In the country in the city in the middle of a beautiful
Get-left-behind
Oh work it out ...
Get ready ... 
Father to the mother:
What went wrong?
I can't say no, won't live too long
Hold it steady
Girl, it falls apart

Don't stop
Oh do the no future do the no future
Don't stop
Do the no future do the no future shock
Don't stop
Do the no future do the no future shock
