R.E.M. - Why Not Smile

The concrete broke your fall
To hear you speak of it
I'd have done anything
I would do anything
I feel like a cartoon brick wall
To hear you speak of it
You've been so sad
It makes me worry
Why not smile?
You've been sad for a while.
Why not smile?

I would do anything
To hear you speak of it.
Why not smile?
You've been sad for a while.
You've been sad for a while.

Nirvana - Marigold

He's there in case I wandered off
He's scared 'cause I warned
He's scared in case I want it all
He's scared 'cause I won

All in all the clock is slow
Six color pictures all in a row
Of a marigold

He's there in case I wandered off
He's scared 'cause I warned
He's there in case I want it all
He's scared 'cause I won

All in all the clock is slow
Six color pictures all in a row
Of a marigold

He's there in case I wandered off
He's scared 'cause I warned
He's there in case I want it all
He's there 'cause I won

All in all the clock is slow
Six color pictures all in a row
Of a marigold

L7 - Just Like Me

Sits back and drinks it up
So where's your dignity?

Faster, faster, faster.......

Hair spray and bustier

Like monkeys in the trees
He's got his limos and money
So where's your dignity?

Led Zeppelin - Good Times, Bad Times

In the days of my youth
I was told what it means to be a man
Now I've reached that age
I've tried to do all those things the best I can
No matter how I try
I find my way into the same old jam

Good times, bad times, you know I've had my share
Well, my woman left home for a brown-eyed man
But I still don't seem to care

Sixteen, I fell in love with a girl as sweet as could be
It only took a couple of days 'till she was rid of me
She swore that she would be all mine and love me 'till the end
but when I whispered in her ear, I lost another friend, oh

Good times, bad times, you know I've had my share
Well, my woman left home for a brown-eyed man
But I still don't seem to care

Good times, bad times, you know I've had my share
Well, my woman left home for a brown-eyed man
but I still don't seem to care

I know what it means to be alone
I sure do wish I was at home
I don't care what the neighbors say
I'm gonna love you each and every day

You can feel the beat within my heart
Realize, sweet babe, we ain't ever gonna part
I feel good when I look at you mama

Pearl Jam - Alive

Son, she said, have I got a little story for you
What you thought was your daddy was nothin' but a...
While you were sittin' home alone at age thirteen
Your real daddy was dyin', sorry you didn't see him,
but I'm glad we talked...

Oh I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey...oh...

Oh, she walks slowly, across a young man's room
She said I'm ready...for you
I can't remember anything to this very day
'Cept the look, the look...
Oh, you know where, now I can't see, I just stare...

I, I'm still alive
Hey I, but, I'm still alive
Hey I, boy, I'm still alive
Hey I, I, I, I'm still alive, yeah
Ooh yeah...yeah yeah yeah...oh...oh...

Is something wrong, she said
Well of course there is
You're still alive, she said
Oh, and do I deserve to be
Is that the question
And if so...if so...who answers...who answers...

I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, but, I'm still alive
Yeah I, ooh, I'm still alive
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Ramones - The Return Of Jackie And Judy

Jackie is a punk, Judy is a runt
They went down to the Mudd Club
And they both got drunk
Oh-yeah

Jackie is a bookie, Judy's taking loans
They both came up to New York
Just to see the Ramones
Oh-yeah

And oh, I don't know why she wrote that letter
Oh no, oh no
Oh I don't know why
We won't forget her, oh no

Jackie's playing hooky
Judy's playing pool
They both got caught for cutting
Got to go to summer school
Oh-yeah

Jackie's scalping tickets
Judy's getting harassed
They both got kicked outside
Didn't have a backstage pass
Oh-yeah

And oh, I don't why she wrote that letter
Oh no, oh no
And oh, I don't know why,
Dont't know what's on her mind
I don't know, no, I don't know

But I can't stand to see her cryin'
She's still cryin', she ain't tryin'
She's going to get left behind
Nobody wants you, nobody wants you

Megadeth - Train Of Consequences

I'm doing you a favor
As I'm taking all your money
I guess I should feel sorry
But I don't even trust me
There's bad news creeping up
And you feel a sudden chill
How do you do? My name is 'Trouble'
I'm coming in for the kill
And you know I will

Set the ball a-rolling
I'll be clicking off the miles
On the train of consequences
My boxcar life of style
My thinking is derailed
I'm tied up to the tracks
The train of consequences
There ain't no turning back

No horse ever ran as fast
As the money that you bet
I'm blowing on my cards
And play them to my chest
Life's fabric is corrupt
Shot through with corroded thread
As for me I hocked my brains
Packed my bags and headed west
I hocked my brains, headed west

Set the ball a-rolling
I'll be clicking off the miles
On the train of consequences
My boxcar life of style
My thinking is derailed
I'm tied up to the tracks
The train of consequences
There ain't no turning back

Set the ball a-rolling
I'll be clicking off the miles
On the train of consequences
My boxcar life of style
My thinking is derailed
I'm tied up to the tracks
The train of consequences
There ain't no turning back

Iron Maiden - 2 minutes to midnight

Kill for gain or shoot to maim
We don't need a reason
The Golden Goose is on the loose
And never out of season
Blackened pride still burns inside
The shell of bloody treason
Here's my gun for a barrel of fun
For the love of living death

The killer's breed or the demon's seed,
The glamour, the fortune, the pain,
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
Don't you pray for our soul anymore

2 minutes to midnight,
The hands that threaten doom.
2 minutes to midnight,
To kill the unborn in the womb.

The blind men shout,
"Let the creatures out
We'll show the unbelievers."
Napalm screams of human flames
For a prime time Belsen feast ... yeah!
As the reasons for the carnage cut their meat and lick the gravy
We oil the jaws of the war machine and feed it with our babies.

The killer's breed or the demon's seed,
The glamour, the fortune, the pain,
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
Don't you pray for our soul anymore

2 minutes to midnight,
The hands that threaten doom.
2 minutes to midnight,
To kill the unborn in the womb.

The body bags and little rags of children torn in two
And the jellied brains of those who remain to put the finger right on you
As the madmen play on words and make us all dance to their song
To the tune of starving millions to make a better kind of gun.

The killer's breed or the demon's seed,
The glamour, the fortune, the pain,
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
Don't you pray for my soul anymore.

2 minutes to midnight,
The hands that threaten doom.
2 minutes to midnight,
To kill the unborn in the womb.

Midnight
Midnight
Midnight
It's all night

Midnight
Midnight
Midnight
It's all night

Deftones - Moana

Somehow calm as she walks on stage
Her entire empire becomes your taste...your taste...show me...come
Let me know what you're like...let me...know what you're like...
What's your taste?
I bet she carves your heart when she walks onstage
Her empire slowly becomes your place... your place...show me...come on
Let me know what you're like...let me...know what you're like...
In your place... your place...
Somehow calm as she walks offstage
An entire empire recall your face...your face...show me...come
Let me know what you're like...let me... know what you're like...
Your face...your face

The Mars Volta - With Twilight as My Guide

I'm bolted from within from long conniving heights
The hail it makes a special sound that always stays into the night
She tells me I'm not capable of what they accuse me
With no remorse I stand and say that guilty is what I plead

My devil makes me dream like no other mortal dreams
With a blank eye corner
The only way to see him in the tunnel where he slept
By the longest tusk of corridors
Numb below the neck
In my heart
Where he keeps them in a vault of devil daughters

When I bend in kicking form with twilight as my guide
In every home the ghost veins gossip
You can hear them if you try

When my quill begins to squirm from the ashes in your urn
Your deviance is anything but faithful

My devil makes me dream like no other mortal dreams
With a blank eye corner
The only way to see him in the tunnel where he slept
By the longest tusk of corridors
Numb below the neck
In my heart
Where he keeps them in a vault of devil daughters

Everybody hangs like dead leaves
Don't you hurt these branches waiting
I've been watching you fall to me
Don't desert me
I'm not waiting

Nine Inch Nails - The Day The World Went Away

I'd listen to the words he'd say
But in his voice I heard decay
The plastic face forced to portray
All the insides left cold and gray
There is a place that still remains
It eats the fear it eats the pain
The sweetest price he'll have to pay
The day the whole world went away

Na na nah
Na na na, nah
Na na nah
Na na na, nah

The Young Gods - Our House

Our house
Is an house that moves
Just like the ocean

Our house
Is an house that moves
Just like the ocean

Hatred
Is the one can buy
It's easy to find

Hatred
It's in front of the sky

New Order - Regret

Maybe I've forgotten the name and the address,
Of everyone I've ever known.
It's nothing I regret.
Save it for another day,
'Cause the school is and the kids have run away.

I would like a place I could call my own.
Have a conversation on the telephone.
Wake up every day that would be a start.
I would not complain with my wounded heart.

I was upset you see,
Almost all the time.
You used to be a stranger.
Now you are mine.

I wouldn't even trust you,
I've not got much to give.
We're dealing in the limits,
And we don't know who with.
You may think that I'm out of hand,
That I'm naive, I'll understand.
On this occasion, it's not true.
Look at me, I'm not you.

I would like a place I could call my own,
Have a conversation on the telephone.
Wake up every day that would be a start.
I would not complain about my wounded heart.

I was a short fuse,
Burning all the time.
You were a complete stranger.
Now you are mine.

I would like a place I could call my own,
Have a conversation on the telephone.
Wake up every day that would be a start.
I would not complain about my wounded heart.

Just wait till tomorrow.
I guess that's what they all say,
Just before they fall apart.

Depeche Mode - Freestate

I can hear your soul crying
Listen to your spirit sighing
I can feel your desperation
Emotional deprivation

Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Let your feelings show

Picking up the conversation
Deep in your imagination
Tune into the lonely voices
Talking of their only choices

Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Let your spirit grow

Step out of your cage
And onto the stage
It's time to start
Playing your part
Freedom awaits
Open the gates
Open your mind
Freedom's a state

I can taste the tears falling
The bitterness inside you calling
Yearning for a liberation
Emotional emancipation

Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Let your senses overflow

Step out of your cage
And onto the stage
It's time to start
Playing your part
Freedom awaits
Open the gates
Open your mind
Freedom's a state

Sigur Rós - Hljómalind

...

Mogwai - Cody

Of all I knew
I held too few
And would you stop me?
If I tried to stop you?

Old songs, stay to the end
Sad songs, remind me of friends
And the way it is, I could leave it all
And I ask myself, would you care at all

When I drive alone at night
I see the streetlights as fairgrounds
And I tried a hundred times
To see the road signs as day-glow

Old songs, stay to the end
Sad songs, remind me of friends
And the way it is, I could leave it all
And I ask myself, would you care at all

The Cure - Boys Don't Cry

I would say I'm sorry
If I thought that it would change your mind
But I know that this time
I have said too much
Been too unkind

I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try and laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes
Because boys don't cry
Boys don't cry

I would break down at your feet
And beg forgiveness
Plead with you
But I know that it's too late
And now there's nothing I can do

So I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try to laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes
Because boys don't cry

I would tell you
That I loved you
If I thought that you would stay
But I know that it's no use
That you've already
Gone away

Misjudged your limit
Pushed you too far
Took you for granted
I thought that you needed me more

Now I would do most anything
To get you back by my side
But I just keep on laughing
Hiding the tears in my eyes
Because boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
Boys don't cry

The Jesus And Mary Chain - The Hardest Walk

I never thought that this day would ever come
When your words and your touch just struck me numb
Oh and it's plain to see that it's dead
The thing swims in blood and it's cold stoney dead
It's so hard not to feel ashamed
Of the loving living games we play
Each day

And I'm stuck in a shack
Down the back of the sea
Oh and I'm alive and I'm alone
Inside a sick sick dream
Oh is it me
Is it me that feels so weak
I cannot deceive but I find it hard to speak

The hardest walk you could ever take
Is the walk you take from A to B to C

I walk
Oh honey I talk
Don't want you to want me
Don't want you to need me
Don't want you to need me
Don't want you to need me

And I walk

The Vaccines - Wetsuit

If at some point we all succumb
For goodness sake let us be young
Because time gets harder to outrun
And I'm nobody, I'm not done
With a cool cool breeze and dirty knees
I rest on childhood memories
We all got old at breakneck speed
Slow it down, go easy on me
Go easy on me

Put a wetsuit on, come on, come on
Grow your hair out long, come on, come
Put a t-shirt on
Do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong

If it's up and after you
What do you suppose that you would do?
You're all whacked out from lack of sleep
You blame it on the friends you keep
You want to do things differently
And do them independently
We all got old at breakneck speed
Slow it down, go easy on me
Go easy on me

Put a wetsuit on, come on, come on
Grow your hair out long, come on, come
Put a t-shirt on
Do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong
Put a wetsuit on, come on, come on
Grow your hair out long, come on, come
Put a t-shirt on
Do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong

Does holy water make you pure?
Submerged your vision's just obscured
You're a lot like me
In up to our knees
In over your chest is way too deep

Put a wetsuit on, come on, come on
Grow your hair out long, come on, come
Put a t-shirt on
Do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong
Put a wetsuit on, come on, come on
Grow your hair out long, come on, come
Put a t-shirt on
Do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong

Morrissey - Seasick, yet still docked

I am a poor freezingly cold soul
So far from where
I intended to go
Scavenging through life's very constant lulls
So far from where I'm determined to go

Wish I knew the way to reach the one I love
There is no way ...
Wish I had the charm to attract the one I love
But you see, I've got no charm
Mmm...

Tonight I've consumed much more than I can hold
Oh, this is very clear to you
And you can tell I have never really loved
You can tell, by the way, I sleep all day

And all of my life no-one gave me anything
No-one has ever given me anything
My love is as sharp as a needle in your eye
You must be such a fool
To pass me by
