Iggy Pop - Wild America

One night out in L.A.
I met a mexicana
with a butchy girlfriend
who I thought was a man
they took me to the alley
to have a little chat
people lined the corner
doin' this and that
in wild america

now I 'm in a black car
with my mexicana
she's got methedrine but
I want marijuana
I don 't want to drive home
not in my condition
so I ask my friend matt

Iggy: well i mean i like it here...do you have anything you' d like to say to america?
Rollins: I'd iust like to say at this point that i' m 24 hour, 7 day a week, 365 day a year american)

I was glad that Debbie
had a sense of humor
this time of the morning
I tend to get gloomy
she laughed and said "Iggy,

I had no reply
so I just closed my eyes
in wild america
exterminate the brutes
they're goin' wild
goin' wild
they' re goin' wild

they got all kinds of fuckin' stuff
they got everything you could imagine
they' re so god dammed spoiled
they' re poisoned inside
they iudge a man by what he's got
and they wanta have more and more
more power, more freedom
taller kids, longer lives
everything, bigger houses, slaves, woa

Siouxsie And The Banshees - Overground (From The Thorn)

Got to give up life in this netherworld
Gonna go up to where the air is stale
And live a life of pleasantries
And mingle in the modern families

Overground from abnormality
Overboard for identity
Overground for normality
Overboard on identity

This limbo is no place
To be a digit in another space
In another crowd
I'm nameless bound

Overground from abnormality
Overboard for identity
Overground for normality
Overboard for identity

Overground I'll be worse than me
Overground it's clear to me
Overground I'll be worse than me
Overground it's clear to me

I'll be worse than me

The Pogues - I'm A Man You Don't Meet Every Day

Oh my name is Jock Stewart
I'm a canny gun man
And a roving young fellow I've been
So be easy and free
when you're drinking with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day

I have acres of land
I have men at command
I have always a shilling to spare
So be easy and free
when you're drinking with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day

So come fill up your glasses
of brandy and wine
Whatever it costs I will pay
So be easy and free
when you're drinking with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day

Well I took out my dog
and him I did shoot
All down in the county Kildare
So be easy and free
when you're drinking with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day

Guns N' Roses - Double Talkin' Jive

Found a head and an arm in da garbage can
Don't know why I'm here
Livin' on the run for oh so long
I gotta go collect
Double talkin' jive

'Cause I got no more patience
Double talkin'

No more patience man

Back in town an'a all new friends

Fucked up and outta place

Double talkin' jive
Get the money motherfucker
'Cause I got no more patience
Double talkin'
-I got (lies)-
No more patience man
You dig what I'm sayin'?!

Mogwai - Christmas Steps

The Kills - Silent Night

Silent night, Holy night
In the dark a lonesome cry
Saw shadows on to collide
The moon makes me want to eat you alive
Sleep when you do wake dear
Come back and sing me your song
Silent night, Holy night
My heart breaks at the sign
Lovers on loving where's the goodbye
Once sense so closely they run for miles
Won't you remember the good days
Won't you remember of love
Silent night, Holy night
Thoughts of you on my mind
Restless young soldier long to fight
Rolling clover and up to his knife
Sleep if you do wake dear
Come back and sing me your song

Coldplay - 'Til Kingdom Come

Still my heart and hold my tongue
I feel my time, my time has come
Let me in, unlock the door
I never felt this way before

And the wheels just keep on turning
The drummer begins to drum
I don't know which way I'm going
I don't know which way I've come

Hold my head inside your hands
I need someone who understands
I need someone, someone who hears
For you I've waited all these years

For you I'd wait 'til kingdom come
Until my day my day is done
And say you'll come and set me free
Just say you'll wait you'll wait for me

In your tears and in your blood
In your fire and in your flood
I hear you laugh I heard you sing
I wouldn't change a single thing

The wheels just keep on turning
The drummers begin to drum
I don't know which way I'm going
I don't know what I've become

For you I'd wait 'til kingdom come
Until my days my days are done
Say you'll come and set me free
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me

Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me

The Cramps - Domino

There's a cat in town that you might know
He goes by the name of Domino
A long key-chain and a diamond ring
A blue sport car, he's a crazy king
They love him so that cat called Domino, Domino, Domino

Well the girls all think that he's a real gone guy
They all flip when he walks by
Catty clothes and cool white shoes
He's rarin' to go and never sings the blues
They love him so that cat called Domino, Domino, Domino

He's got cool black hair and a solid style
Long side-bums and a crazy smile
Just ask the girls, they'll tell you so
They dig that cat called Domino
They love him so that cat called Domino, Domino, Domino
Well Domino, cool man go, Domino, they love him so
Get out of the way, here comes Domino, Domino, Domino

Skunk Anansie - My Love Will Fall

Retain.
Distrust.
Resign.
Your lust.
Your call.
These cuts.
Run through.
My guts.
My love, I feel the fall, again.
My love, I feel the pull.
March on.
Freak out.
Release.
Your doubts.
Resist.
Reborn.
I can't.
Move on.
My love, I feel the fall, again.
My love, I feel the pull.

You cannot win.
I curse my love for you.
I curse my love for you.
I curse my love for you.
I curse my love.

I crave.
Your words.
That spill.
And hurt.
My bones.
My soul.
I'll burn.
Them all.

Begin.
Again.
Revive.
The dead.
All quiet.
All calm.
Your gain.
Has gone.
My love, I feel the fall, again.
My love, I feel the pull.

Muse - Plug In Baby

I've exposed your lies, baby
The underneath no big surprise
Now it's time for changing
And cleansing everything
To forget your love

My plug in baby
Crucifies my enemies
When I'm tired of giving
My plug in baby
In unbroken virgin realities
Is tired of living

Don't confuse
Baby you're gonna lose
Your own game
Change me
And replace the envying
To forget your love

My plug in baby
Crucifies my enemies
When I'm tired of giving
My plug in baby
In unbroken virgin realities
And tired of living
And I've seen your loving
Mine is gone

And I've been in trouble

Moby - Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?

Why does my heart feel so bad?
Why does my soul feel so bad?

These open doors

James - Sit Down

I'll sing myself to sleep
A song from the darkest hour
Secrets I can't keep
Inside of the day
Swing from high to deep
Extremes of sweet and sour
Hope that God exists
I hope I pray

Drawn by the undertow
My life is out of control
I believe this wave will bear my weight
So let it flow

Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy

Now I'm relieved to hear
That you've been to some far out places
It's hard to carry on
When you feel all alone
Now I've swung back down again
It's worse than it was before
If I hadn't seen such riches
I could live with being poor
Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy

Those who feel the breath of sadness
Sit down next to me
Those who find they're touched by madness
Sit down next to me
Those who find themselves ridiculous
Sit down next to me
Love, in fear, in hate, in tears

Down
Down

Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy

Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy

Down

The Smiths - Reel Around The Fountain

It's time the tale were told
of how you took a child
and you made him old

It's time the tale were told
of how you took a child
and you made him old
you made him old

Reel around the fountain
slap me on the patio
I'll take it now

Fifteen minutes with you
well, I wouldn't say no
oh people said
that you were virtually dead
and they were so wrong!

Fifteen minutes with you
I wouldn't say no
oh people said
that you were easily led
and they were half-right

It's time the tale were told
of how you took a child
and you made him old

It's time the tale were told
of how you took a child
and you made him old
you made him old

Reel around the fountain
slap me on the patio
I'll take it now

Fifteen minutes with you
I wouldn't say no
oh people see no worth in you
oh but I do

Fifteen minutes with you
oh I wouldn't say no
oh people see no worth in you
but I do

I dreamt about you last night
and I fell out of bed twice
you can pin and mount me
like a butterfly

But take me to the haven of your bed
was something that you never said
two lumps, please
you're the bee's knees
but so am I

Meet me at the fountain
shove me on the patio
I'll take it slowly

Fifteen minutes with you
oh I wouldn't say no
people see no worth in you
oh but I do

The Clash - Tommy Gun

Tommy gun
You ain't happy less you got one
Yommy gun
Ain't gonna shoot the place up
Just for fun
Maybe he wants to die for the money
Maybe he wants to kill for his country
Whatever he wants, he's gonna get it!

Tommy gun
You better strip it down for a customs run
Tommy gun
Waiting in the airport 'till kingdom come
An' we can watch you make it
On the nine o'clock news
Standing there in Palestine lighting the fuse
Whatever you want, you're gonna get it

Tommy gun
You'll be dead when your war is won
Tommy gun
But did you have to gun down everyone?
I can see it's kill or be killed
A nation of destiny has got to be fulfilled
Whatever you want, you're gonna get it!

Tommy gun
You can be a hero in an age of none
Tommy gun
I'm cutting out your picture from page one
I'm gonna get a jacket just like yours
An' give my false support to your cause
Whatever you want, you're gonna get it!

Okay, so let's agree about the price
And make it one jet airliner for ten prisoners
Boats an' tanks and planes, it's your game
Kings an' queens an' generals learn your name
I see all the innocents, the human sacrifice
And if death comes so cheap
Then the same goes for life!

Goldfrapp - Ooh La La

Dial up my number now
Weaving it through the wire
Switch me on, turn me up
Don't want it baudelaire
Just glitter lust
Switch me on, turn me up
I want to touch you
You're just made for love

I need la la la la la la
I need ooh la la la la
I need la la la la la la
I need ooh la la la la

Coils up and round me
Teasing your poetry
Switch me on, turn me up
Oh child of Venus
You're just made for love

I need la la la la la la
I need ooh la la la la
I need la la la la la la
I need ooh la la la la
I need la la la la la la
I need ooh la la la la

I need ooh la la la la

You know I walk for days
I wanna waste some time
You wanna be so mean
You know I love to watch
I wanna love some more
It'll never be the same
A broken heel like a heart
I'll never walk again
Yeah!

I need la la la la la la
I need ooh la la la la
I need la la la la la la
I need ooh la la la la
I need la la la la la la
I need ooh la la la la
I need la la la la la la

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Behind The Sun

One day while bathing in the sea
My talking dolphin spoke to me
He spoke to me in symphony
From freedom's peace beneath the sea
He looked to me eyes full of love
Said yes we live behind the sun

Behind the sun
Behind the sun
Behind the sun

The sun goes up
And the sun gets down
But like the heart of the sun
My heart continues to pound

Behind the sun

Now while I shower in the rain
I watch my dolphin swim away
The one who listens to the surf
Can feel the pulse beat of the earth
And like my dolphin swims so free
The sun does swim into the sea

Behind the sun
Behind the sun
Behind the sun

An island flying through the sky
One day your son might ask you why
And if you son should be a girl
She too might ask you of this world
The sun shines sweet upon your beach
And yes my dolphin loves to teach

Behind the sun
Behind the sun
Behind the sun

The sun goes up
And the sun gets down
But like the heart of the sun
My heart continues to pound

Behind the sun

The National - Patterns Of Fairytales

Tonight there isn't any light under your door
I guess you must be somewhere breathing
Where skin and everything still know what they are for
And blood remembers where to go

I fell in love with you no matter what you say
But you were right about the reasons
To turn a magdeline into the month of May
I shoulda known the magdeline was me

So I'm turning on the stereo
And I'm lining up the names
On the mixes I made before you
And I'm turning into fairytales
With glitter and some glue
Everything we ever planned to ever do

Tonight there isn't any light under your door
I guess you must be somewhere breathing
In patterns unfamiliar to the one you're underneath
I pinned those patterns in my coat

So I'm turning on the stereo
And I'm turning into fairytales
Yes I'm turning on the stereo
And I'm turning into you

The Mission - Naked And Savage

The cool cruel sleaze, hungry and wild and crawling
Through the storm that breaks
And clears away the vicious and violent heat
Breathe deep, breathe long and hard
Kiss and caress the hand that feeds
Love me primitive betraying lips
And the treacherous heart of the savage breed

Hollow eyes only cry hollow tears
And the tingling flesh that melts away
The scars and fears that the shameless years
Leave laughing and dancing
On a wasted and tattered dream
Cry hollow tears, that stifle the totured kiss and scream

Screaming in the darkness, torn and ravaged
Spinning round in circles
Animal crazy and the howl of the naked and savage

The coll cruel sleaze hungry and wild and crawling
Through the storm that breaks
And clears away the vicious and violent heat
Breathe deep, breathe long and hard
Kiss and caress the hand that feeds
Love me primitive, betraying lips
And the treacherous heart,of the savage breed

Screaming in the darkness, torn and ravaged
Spinning round in circles
Animal crazy and the howl of the naked and savage

Tarnish, taint and punish me softly
Kiss the heavens where the angels tread
Love is the corpse that crawls on dreams
Rips them apart and tears them to shreds

Screaming in the darkness, torn and ravaged
Spinning round in circles
Animal crazy and the howl of the naked and savage

The Jesus And Mary Chain - Psycho Candy

The wind is screaming around the trees for my Psychocandy
The world is spreading a strange disease for my
Psychocandy
Candy is the baddest seed
She'll take you down and make you eat
Her fish
Her poison fish
Is on her dish

Candy cannot hear or see
She's in the place she needs to be
She'll take the point to a sharpened blade
And give you something warm to taste

And the world is turning 'round
And on and on and on
And the world is turning 'round
And on and on and on
And the world is turning 'round
And on and on and on
And the world is turning 'round
And on and on and on
And the world is turning 'round
And on and on and on
(Psychocandy)
And the world is turning 'round
And on and on and on

And the world is turning 'round
And on and on and on

And the world is turning 'round
And on and on and on

And the world is turning 'round
And on and on and on

And the world is turning 'round
And on and on and on

And the world is turning 'round
And on and on and on

The Breeders - Iris

Four hours in the pot, one hour out
It grows and I sleep standing up
When Iris sleeps over
What a book she'll write
Oh last night
Oh come on, nobody wants that
Sister, sister, Oh...
We tried hour by hour
Hour by hour
Hour by hour

Four hours to daylight, four hours and then
Pour water on me til I live again
When Iris sleeps over
It'll be alright
All last night
But come on, nobody wants that
Sister, sister, oh...
We tried hour by hour
Hour by hour

The Reindeer Section - Cartwheels

My wounds are nicely slated dear
I never got to thank you right
I was finished way before I could see
Quite what you had in mind for me

I'm doing cartwheels

Now the pessimism in me yawns
As I'm pissing on their perfect front lawns
A voice calls out behind my back
and i take off into the grounds

I'm doing cartwheels

It'll all tie me up into knots
I didn't mean to speak out of turn
Now you can sit and watch me squirm
now the party's really in full swing
I wish I had a friend I could ring

I'm doing cartwheels

You're really loving this aren't you dear
Now you've got me on the ropes out here
With nowhere else to run to now
Just stay and face the music

It'll all tie me up into knots

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - I Let Love In

Despair and deception, love's ugly little twins
Came a-knocking on my door, I let them in
Darling, you're the punishment for all my former sins

I let love in

The door it opened just a crack, but love was shrewd and bold
My life flashed before my eyes, it was a horror to behold
A life-sentence sweeping confetti from the floor of a concrete hole

I let love in

Well, I've been bound and gagged and I've been terrorized
And I've been castrated and I've been lobotomized
But never has my tormentor come in such a cunning disguise

I let love in

Oh Lord, tell me what I done
Please don't leave me here on my own
Where are my friends?
My friends are gone

So if you're sitting all alone and hear a-knocking at your door
And the air is full of promises, well buddy, you've been warned
Far worse to be love's lover than the lover that love has scorned

I let love in

Metallica - Master Of Puppets

End of passion play, crumbling away
I'm your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear, sucking darkest clear
Leading on your death's construction

Taste me, you will see
More is all you need
You're dedicated to
How I'm killing you

Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master
Master

Master of puppets, I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master

Needlework the way, never you betray
Life of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly, ritual misery
Chop your breakfast on a mirror

Taste me you will see
More is all you need
You're dedicated to
How I'm killing you

Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master
Master

Master of puppets, I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing

Master, master
Where's the dreams that I've been after?
Master, master
You promised only lies
Laughter, laughter
All I hear and see is laughter
Laughter, laughter
Laughing at my cries
Fix me

Hell is worth all that, natural habitat
Just a rhyme without a reason
Never-ending maze, drift on numbered days
Now your life is out of season

I will occupy
I will help you die
I will run through you
Now I rule you, too

Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master
Master

Master of puppets, I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream

I need my frailty
Oh so soon
I will unfold

I bleed for you
I voluntarily give myself

As the storm grows
Together we are there

You crucify me
For your own inability
Solutions drag us down
Solutions drag me down
Brothers forever blood forever

The poison's diluting the water
Drunk they rape our mother
I spit at you for what you do
I spit at you common men for what you do
I spit at you common men
Devil and angel hand in hand
In the mess of this sin

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Shade Of Blue

I've been here before, I know this shade of blue, it's you
I've felt your touch before I know your way, a ghostlike sense of state, you're gone
So it seems you know me, I will wait for you, I do

I don't care if you can take it
I can't take it anymore, I'll die
Don't mind if you can take it
I can't take it anymore, I'll die

Slowly I relive a better past a time I thought I knew, I blew
Now I'm pacient now I know I'll last, I'll last
I've always known it's true, with you

I don't care if you can take it
I can't take it anymore, I'll die
Don't mind if you can take it
I can't take it anymore, I'll die

I don't care if you can take it
I can't take it anymore, I'll die
Don't mind if you can take it
I can't take it anymore, I'll die

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Cheated Hearts

Cheated by the opposite of love
Held on high from up up up above
Kept my high from the second one
Kept my eye on the first one now

Take these rings and stowe them safe away
I'll wear them on another rainy day

And she’s take it take it take it take it taking it off
And he’s take it take it take it take it taking it off
And we’re take it take it take it take it taking it off

Sometimes I think that I’m bigger than the sound
Well I think that I’m bigger than the sound
Well I think that I’m bigger than the sound

She'll take on high

I'll wear them on another rainy day

The Strokes - The End Has No End

One by one, ticking time bombs won
It's not the secrets of the government
That's keeping you dumb
Oh, it's the other way around
Wait, what's that sound?
One by one, baby, here they come

He wants it easy, he want it relaxed
Said, "I can do a lot of things, but I can't do that"
Two steps forward then three steps back, alright

Won't you take a walk outside? Oh no
But can't you find some other guy? Oh no
1 9 6 9 what's that sound? Oh no
Keeping down the underground, oh no

The end has no end, the end has no end
The end has no end, the end has no end

He wants it easy, he want it relaxed
Said, "I can do a lot of things, but I can't do that"
Two steps forward then three steps back, it won't be easy

Won't you take a walk outside? Oh no
But can't you find another guy?, Oh no
1 9 6 3 what's that sound?, Oh no
Keeping down the underground, oh no

Radiohead - Karma Police

Karma police
arrest this man,
he talks in maths,
he buzzes like a fridge,
he’s like a detuned radio.

Karma police
arrest this girl,
her Hitler hairdo
is making me feel ill
and we have crashed her party.

This is what you get,
this is what you get,
this is what you get,
when you mess with us.

Karma police
I’ve given all I can,
it’s not enough,
I’ve given all I can
but we’re still on the payroll.

This is what you get,
this is what you get,
this is what you get,
when you mess with us.

For a minute there
I lost myself, I lost myself.
Phew, for a minute there,
I lost myself, I lost myself.

For a minute there
I lost myself, I lost myself.
Phew, for a minute there,
I lost myself, I lost myself.

Paradise Lost - Pity The Sadness

Sadness lives after we die
The pains of life increased outright
Contempt and sins priorities
To crush good fortune to it's knees
Morning...

Morning's calm, inside I cry
This painful life has raped my mind
Take me down, slow release
From sorrow's penetration
Morning...

Life is there for me
Hell is there for me

Sunlight greets my open wounds
Morning's light reflects the doom
My soul is free, it lives again
To roam alone in darkness
Morning...

I've cried for God
And I've cried for you
I pray that in the end your sense will break through

Sadness lives after we die
The pains of life increased outright
Contest my sins priorities
Crushed my spirit to its knees

Nine Inch Nails - The Great Below

Staring at the sea
Will she come?
Is there hope for me
After all is said and done
Anything at any price
All of this for you
All the spoils of a wasted life
All of this for you
All the world has closed her eyes
Tired faith all worn and thin
For all we could have done
And all that could have been

Ocean pulls me close
And whispers in my ear
The destiny I've chose
All becoming clear
The currents have their say
The time is drawing near
Washes me away
Makes me disappear
I descend from grace
In arms of undertow
I will take my place
In the great below

I can still feel you
Even so far away

Massive Attack feat. Liz Fraser - Teardrop

Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Fearless on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me, makes me lighter
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

Night, night after day
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my...

Water is my eye
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Of a confession
Fearless on my breath
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

You're stumbling a little
You're stumbling a little

Garbage - The World Is Not Enough

I know how to hurt
I know how to heal
I know what to show
And what to conceal
I know when to talk
And I know when to touch
No-one ever die from wanting to much

The world is not enough
But it is such a perfect place to start...my love
And if you're strong enough
Together we can take the world apart...my love

People like us
Know how to survive
There's no point in living
If you can't feel the life
We know when to kiss
And we know when to kill
If we can't have it all
Then nobody will

The world is not enough
But it is such a perfect place to start...my love
And if you're strong enough
Together we can take the world apart...my love

(I...)I feel sick
(I...)I feel scared
(I...)I feel ready
(I...)And yet unprepared

The world is not enough
But it is such a perfect place to start...my love
And if you're strong enough
Together we can take the world apart...my love

The world is not enough
The world is not enough

The Cure - Three Imaginary Boys

Walk across the garden
In the footsteps of my shadow
See the lights out
No-one's home
In amongst the statues
Stare at nothing in
The garden moves...
Can you help me?

Close my eyes
And hold so tightly
Scared of what the morning brings
Waiting for tomorrow
Never comes
Deep inside
The empty feeling
All the night time leaves me
Three imaginary boys

Slipping through the door
Hear my heart beat in the hallway
Echoes
Round and round
Inside my head
Drifting up the stairs
I see the steps behind me
Disappearing...
Can you help me?

Close my eyes
And hold so tightly
Scared of what the morning brings
Waiting for tomorrow
Never comes
Deep inside
The empty feeling
All the night time leaves me
Three imaginary boys sing in my
Sleep sweet child
The moon will change your mind...

See the cracked reflection
Standing still
Before the bedroom mirror
Over my shoulder
But no one's there
Whispers in the silence
Pressing close behind me
Pressing close behind
Can you help me?

Can you help me?

The xx - Try

We bide our time
Though the time is fine
Oh to be there, I could be there
Say you'll be there

You know the way, I
Can't resist you, I
Said to myself I'd try
Why do we waste time
Hiding it inside
I want you to be mine

And now it's been and gone
You say what you would have done You would've been there
I wished you'd been there
I needed you there

And if we try once more
Would you give me it all
I won't believe it
'Til I can feel it
Can you feel it

You know the way
I can't resist you
I said to myself I'd try

Suede - The 2 of Us

Lying in my bed, I think of you
That song goes through my head, the one we both knew
In each line lies another line full of sacred sound
But you're outside where the companies dream and the money goes round

Lying in my bed.
Watching my mistakes,
I listen to the band they said that it could be the 2 of us

The snow might fall and write the lines on the silent page
But you're outside making permanent love to the nuclear age
Two silhouettes by the cash machine make a lovers dance
It's a tango for the lonely wives of the business class

Lying in my bed
Watching my mistakes
I listen to the band
Lying in my bed
With nothing much to say so I listen to the man
He said that it could be the 2 of us

I heard you call from across the city through the stereo sound
And so I crawled there sickeningly pretty as the money went round

Lying in my head watching my mistakes
I listen to the band
And the drums beat in my head
Pianos chime the sound in this prison of the house
And as the illness comes again can you hear me through the rain
As I listen to the band?
As I sing the silent song
Mime each lonely word
Please listen to the man he said that it could be the 2 of us

Alone but not lonely, you and me
Alone but loaded.........

And be painted like gold
And I saved my soul
I'm alive again
Morning son
I will rise again
Like the morning sun
We will rise again
Like the morning sun
Then I saw a new heaven and a new Earth
The first Heaven and the first Earth have passed away
I've been sent to pray over you

Portishead - We Carry On

The taste of life I can't describe
It's chocking on my mind
Reaching out I can't believe
Faith it can't decide

On and on I carry on
But underneath my mind
And on and on I tell my self
It's this I can't disguise

Oh can't you see
Holding on to my heart
I bleed the taste of life
The pace, the time, I can't survive
It's grinding down the view
Breaking out which way to choose
A choice I can't renew

Holding on I carry on
But underneath my mind
And on and on I tell my self
It's this I can't disguise

Oh can't you see
Holding on to my heart
I bleed, no place is safe
Can't you see the taste of life

R.E.M. - Bang and Blame

If you could see yourself now, baby,
It's not my fault, you used to be so in control.
You're going to roll right over this one.
Just roll me over, let me go,
You're laying blame.
Take this as no, no, no, no, no.

You bang, bang, bang, bang, bang,
Then blame, blame, blame,
You bang, bang, bang, bang, bang,
It's not my thing so let it go.

If you could see yourself now, baby,
The tables have turned, the whole world hinges on your swings,
Your secret life of indiscreet discretions.
I'd turn the screw and leave the screen,
Don't point your finger,
You know that's not my thing.

You came to bang, bang, bang, bang, bang,
To blame, blame, blame,
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang,
It's not my thing so let it go now.

You've got a little worry,
I know it all too well.
I've got your number
But so does every kiss and tell
Who dares to cross your threshold,
Or happens on you way,
Stop laying blame.
You know that's not my thing.

You know that's not my thing, you came to bang, bang, bang, bang, bang,
Then blame, blame, blame.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang,
It's not my thing so let it go, you
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang,
Then blame, blame, blame.
It's not my thing so let it go.

You kiss on me,
Tug on me,
Rub on me,
Jump on me.
You bang on me,
Beat on me,
Hit on me,
Let go on me.
You let go on me.

Marilyn Manson - In the Shadow of the Valley of Death

We have no future
Heaven wasn't made for me
We burn ourselves to hell
As fast as it can be
And I wish that I could be a king
Then I'd know that I am not alone

Maggots put on shirts
Sell each others shit
Sometimes I feel so worthless
Sometimes I feel discarded
I wish that I was good enough
Then I'd know that I am not alone

Death is policeman
Death is the priest
Death is the stereo
Death is a TV
Death is the Tarot
Death is an angel and
Death is our God
Killing us all

She puts the seeds in me
Plant this dying tree
She's a burning string
And I'm just the ashes

She put the seeds in me
Plant this dying tree
She's a burning string
And I'm just the ashes

Joy Division - Something Must Break

Two ways to choose,
On a razor's edge,
Remain behind,
Go straight ahead.

Room full of people, room for just one,
If I can't break out now, the time just won't come.

Two ways to choose,
Which way to go,
Decide for me,
Please let me know.

Looked in the mirror, saw I was wrong,
If I could get back to where I belong, where I belong.

Two ways to choose,
Which way to go,
Had thoughts for one
Designs for both.

But we were immortal, we were not there,
Washed up on the beaches, struggling for air.

I see your face still in my window,
Torments yet calms, won't set me free,
Something must break now,
This life isn't mine,
Something must break now,
Wait for the time,
Something must break.

Beck - Jack-Ass

I been drifting along
In the same stale shoes
Loose ends tying a noose
In the back of my mind
If you thought that you were making your way
To where the puzzles and pagans lay
I'll put it together:
It's a strange invitation
When I wake up
Someone will sweep up my lazy bones
And we will rise in the cool of the evening
I remember the way that you smiled
When the gravity shackles were wild
And something is vacant
When I think it's all beginning

I been drifting along
In the same stale shoes
Loose ends tying the noose
In the back of my mind
If you thought that you were making your way
To where the puzzles and pagans lay
I'll put it together:
It's a strange invitation

Faith No More - Zombie Eaters

You're everything
That's why I cling to you
When I emerge my thoughts converge to you
(To you)

The world is so small, compared to you
And everybody's wrong compared to you
(To you)

I begin to see through your eyes
All the former mysteries
Are no surprise

So now you listen
'Cause I'm omniscient

Hey look at me lady
I'm just a little baby
You're lucky to have me
I'm cute and sweet as candy
As charming as a fable
I'm innocent and disabled
So hug me, and kiss me
Then wipe my butt and piss me

I hope you never leave
'Cause who would hear me scream?
Nobody understands
Except the toys in my hands

So now you listen
'Cause I'm omniscient

Hey look at me lady
I'm just a little baby
If I smile, then you smile
Then I'll get mad for awhile
I melt in your mouth
And in you hands whenever I can
But I really do nothing
Except kickin' and fussin'

I like to make a mess
I laugh at your distress
I sit all day in my crib
Absorbing all you give

I'm helpless
I'm flawless
I'm a machine
Give me, I need my toys...

Keep me hot, keep me strong
Keep me ever everlong
Keep me ever everlong
Keep me ever everlong
Keep me ever everlong

So now you listen
'Cause I'm omniscient

The Dead Weather - The Difference Between Us

I'm not the way that you found me
I'm never here or there
One day I'm happy and healthy
Next I ain't doing so well

Let's go walk to the border
Let's go walk along the inch
Let's go when no one can see us
And find the difference between us

You can cry like a baby
Just let me do what I need to
It might be to me or to you
Just let me do what I need to

I'm not the way that you found me
I'm neither here nor there
One day I'm happy and healthy
Next I ain't doing so well

Let's go walk to the border
Let's go walk along the inch
Let's go when no one can see us
And find the difference between us

I'm not the way that you found me
I'm neither here nor there
One day I'm happy and healthy
Next I ain't doing so well

Let's go walk to the border
Let's go walk along the inch
Let's go when no one can see us
And find the difference between us

You can cry like a baby
Just let me do what I need to
It might be to me or to you
Just let me do what I need to

I'm not the way that you found me
I'm neither here nor there
One day I'm happy and healthy
Next I ain't doing so well

The White Stripes - The Same Boy You've Always Known

You fell down of course
And then you got up of course
And started over
Forgot my name of course
Then you started to remember
Pretty tough to think about
The beginning of december
Pretty tough to think about
Pretty tough to think about
Pretty tough to think about

You're looking down again
And then you look me over
We're laying down again
On a blanket in the clover
The same boy you've always known
Well I guess I haven't grown
The same boy you've always known
Same boy you've always known

Think of what the past did
It could 've lasted
So put it in your basket
I hope you know a strong man
Who can lend you a hand
Lowering my casket

I thought this is just today
And soon you'd been returning
The coldest blue ocean water
Cannot stop my heart and mind
From burning
Wveryone who's in the know says
That's exactly how it goes
And if there's anything good about me
I'm the only one who knows

Manowar - Black Wind, Fire and Steel

Full moon's light is calling me
My kingdom lies within
The mystic soul and lion's heart
Brought by the talisman.
The ecstasy of battle takes me
Where the falcons fly.
Immortal youth was granted me
I will never die.

Born of black wind, fire and steel
Born of black wind, fire and steel
Born to teach them all to heel
Black wind, fire and steel.

Pounded by the hammers
Of the giants of the world.
I can see in darkness,
I'm the overlord
Single combat I await
My shadow brings them fear.
The spikes upon my chariot
Will grind them when they're near.

Born of black wind, fire and steel
Born of black wind, fire and steel
Born to teach them all to heel
Black wind, fire and steel.

I am an outcast
On the path of no return.
Punisher and swordsman
I was born to burn.
Black wind always follows
Where my black horse rides.
Fire's in my soul
Steel is on my side.

Born of black wind, fire and steel
Born of black wind, fire and steel
Born to teach them all to heel
Black wind, fire and steel.

Bicycles, shoestrings,
One flag, flaggy but one,
Painting the paintings of the alive.

I-E-A-I-A-I-O
I-E-A-I-A-I-O, why?
And we light up the sky.
I-E-A-I-A-I-O
I-E-A-I-A-I-O, why?
And we light up the sky.

Queens of the Stone Age - Mosquito Song

I know, I know the sun is hot
Mosquitos come suck your blood
Leave you there all alone
Just skin and bone
When you walk among the trees
Listening to the leaves
The further I go the less I know
The less I know

Where will you run?
Where will you hide?
Lullabies
To paralyze

Fat and soft, pink and weak
Foot and thigh, tongue and cheek
You know I'm told they swallow you whole
Skin and bone
Cutting boards and hanging hooks
Bloody knives, cooking books
Promising you won't feel a thing
At all

Swallow and chew
Eat you alive
All of us food that hasn't died
And the light says

Somehow they pick and pluck
Tenderize bone to dust
The sweetest grease, finest meat you'll ever taste
Taste, taste
So you scream, whine, and yell
Supple sounds of dinner bells
We all will feed the worms and trees so don't be shy

Swallow and chew
Eat you alive
All of us food that hasn't died

Pearl Jam - Indifference

I will light the match this morning, so I won't be alone
Watch as she lies silent, for soon light will be gone
Oh I will stand arms outstretched, pretend I'm free to roam
Oh I will make my way, through, one more day in...hell

How much difference does it make
How much difference does it make...

I will hold the candle, till it burns up my arm
I'll keep takin' punches, until their will grows tired
Oh I will stare the sun down, until my eyes go blind
Hey I won't change direction, and I won't change my mind

How much difference does it make
How much difference does it make...
How much difference...

I'll swallow poison, until I grow immune
I will scream my lungs out till it fills this room

How much difference
How much difference
How much difference does it make
How much difference does it make...

Violent Femmes - Breakin' Hearts

See that girl
She put me in a whirl
She's got a way of breakin' hearts
Man o man
I wonder if I can
She's got a way of breaking hearts
Seems like she is always
Workin' on the sly
Then she tells her poor man
Good bye
Holy smoke
I wonder if there's hope
She's got a way of breakin' hearts
I will not tarry
I'm askin' her to marry me
Even though she's got a way of
Breakin' hearts

The Temper Trap - I'm Gonna Wait

Way down
In a not so distant place
Your ghost is lingering
Still frames remembering
The way we were

Way down
I see reflections in the well
A distant haunting bell
Resounding every time
I touch you in my mind

Helpless
Prayers cannot speed the time
Nor heaven change the mind
Left to our own device
We set this bridge alight

One day
You may not know it yet
But this you won't forget
I was the one who came
Running back again

I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I wanna
I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I wanna
I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait for you

My arms
Are reaching out to you
Each time I think of you
The floodgates open
And I'm left drowning in

All hope
It lingers in my sleep
May you return to me
Not to possess
But to hold you in my keep

I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I wanna
I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I wanna
I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait for you

And so the last page shall remain
Empty until we write the rest
Yes some may say that I'm a fool
A fool for waiting for you

I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I wanna
(I'll be a fool, a fool waiting for you)
I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I wanna
(When you come calling, I'll be here still waiting for you)
I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I wanna,
I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I wanna,
I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait for you

Kasabian - Acid Turkish Bath (Shelter From The Storm)

Cotton mouth is bleeding
One way glass deceiving

Dope me up on woman and credit cards
Promise x-ray vision and fancy cars
The tables set for the bourgeois
Better get in line with your dinner tray cause

When it's all ran out and it's just you left
With the nut job swigging his crystal meth
And there's a constant ring of machinery
Is there a place for me in history

Sending the boys away
Leaving them out to play
Throwing them miles away
Now it's another day
To shelter from the storm

Sons of time are rising
16 minds exploding

It's the 21st century ain't it cool
It's taught us to eat and how to drool
And the wind up merchants are out in force
Telling you my brother to change your course

And you won't be the first to think it's wrong
When all you really want is to bang a gong
Cause it's all sewn in our misery
Is there a place for me in the history

Sending the boys away
Leaving them out to play
Throwing them miles away
Wishing for new years day
To shelter from the storm

We gotta break down the doors
And shelter from the storm

Depeche Mode - Puppets

Get that feeling
Head is reeling
You think you're in control
But you don't know me babe
I can move you
I can soothe you
I can take you places in a different way

I don't think you understand
What I'm trying to say
I'll be your operator baby
I'm in control

Watch your action
Close reaction
And everything you're thinking babe inside your head
Conversation, my creation
Nothing that you do
You do unless I said

You don't know the consequences
Of the things you say
I'll be your operator baby
I'm in control

All the things you tried to do babe
And all the words we said before
Are only part of what I started baby
And you can't stop me anymore

Explosions In The Sky - First Breath After Coma

...

Arcade Fire - City With No Children

The summer that I broke my arm
I waited for your letter
I have no feeling for you now
Now that I know you better

I wish that I could have loved you then
Before our age was through
And before a world war does with us whatever it will do

Dreamt I drove home to Houston
On a highway that was underground
There was no light that we could see
As we listened to the sound
Of the engine failing

I feel like I've been living in
A city with no children in it
A garden left for ruin by a millionaire inside of a private prison

You never trust a millionaire quoting the sermon on the mount
I used to think I was not like them but I'm beginning to have my doubts
My doubts about it

When you're hiding underground
The rain can't get you wet
But do you think your righteousness could pay the interest on your debt?
I have my doubts about it

I feel like I've been living in
A city with no children in it
A garden left for ruin by a millionaire inside of a private prison

I feel like I've been living in
A city with no children in it
A garden left for ruin by and by as I hide inside of my private prison

Pixies - Velouria

Hold my head
We'll trampoline
Finally through the roof
On to somewhere near
And far in time
Velouria
Her covering
Travelling career
She can really move
Oh velveteen!

My velouria, my velouria
Even I'll adore you
My velouria

Say to me
Where have you been
Finally through the roof
And how does lemur skin
Reflect the sea?

We will wade in the shine of the ever
We will wade in the shine of the ever
We will wade in the tides of the summer
Every summer
Every summer
Every
My velouria
My velouria

Forevergreen
I know she's here
In California
I can see the tears
Of shastasheen

My velouria, my velouria
Even I'll adore your
My velouria

Bauhaus - Mask

The man of shadows thinks in clay
Dreamed trapped thoughts of suffocation day
He's seen in iron environments
With plastic sweat out of chiselled slits for eyes

From the growth underneath the closed mouth
You'll catch if you listen
Rack-trapped cubist vowels
From a dummy head expression
From a dummy head expression

The transformation is invested
With the mysterious and the shameful
While the thing I am becomes something else
Part character part sensation

The shadow is cast

Vampire Weekend - Cousins

You found a sweater on the ocean floor
They're gonna find it if you didn't close the door.
You and this model sit outside the side
In a house on a street they wouldn't park on at night.

Dad was a risk taker.
His was a shoe maker.
You greatest hits 2006, Little listmaker.
Caught in the melody, You wait in the car.
You were born with ten fingers and you're gonna use them all.

Interest in girls as I discovered myself
If your odd-life was greater
You'll be toastin' my health
If an interest in culture,
You should be lining the walls.
When your birth right is interest
You could just accrue it all.

Me and my cousins and you and your cousins
It's a line that is always running.
Me and my cousins, You and your cousins,
I can feel it coming

You could turn your back on the bitter world
You could turn your back on the bitter world
You could turn your back on the bitter world
You could turn your back on the bitter world

Me and my cousins and you and your cousins
It's a line that is always running.
Me and my cousins, You and your cousins,
I can feel it coming

Me and my cousins and you and your cousins
It's a line that is always running.
Me and my cousins, You and your cousins,
I can feel it coming

M83 - Echoes of Mine

Il est tard. Je cherche mon autre chez-moi, et je prends un chemin que je ne connais pas:
un petit sentier qui longe les usines et la ville entre-coupant par la forêt.
Je commence à peine à entrevoir la nature, lorsque tout d'un coup, la nuit tombe.
Je suis plongée dans un monde de silence, pourtant je n'ai pas peur.
Je m'endors quelques minutes, tout au plus, et quand je me réveille,
le soleil est là et la forêt brille d'une lumière éclatante.

Je reconnais cette forêt. Ce n'est pas une forêt ordinaire, c'est une forêt de souvenirs.
Mes souvenirs. Cette rivière blanche et sonore, mon adolescence.
Ces grands arbres, les hommes que j'ai aimés. Ces oiseaux qui volent, au loin, mon père disparu.
Mes souvenirs ne sont plus des souvenirs.
Ils sont là, vivants, près de moi, ils dansent et m'enlacent, chantent et me sourient.

Je regarde mes mains. Je caresse mon visage, et j'ai 20 ans.
Et j'aime comme je n'ai jamais aimé.

This Mortal Coil - Dreams Made Flesh

...

Linkin Park - Hands Held High

Turn my mic up louder, I got to say something
Lightweights steppin’ aside when we come in
Feel it in your chest, the syllables get pumping
People on the street then panic and start running
Words on loose leaf sheet, complete coming
I jump in my mind, I summon the rhyme I’m dumping
Healing the blind, I promise to let the sun in
Sick of the dark ways we march to the drumming
Jump when they tell us that they wanna see jumping
Fuck that, I wanna see some fists pumping
List something, take back what’s yours
Say something that you know they might attack you for
‘Cause I’m sick of being treated like I had before
Like it’s stupid standing for what I’m standing for
Like this war’s really just a different brand of war
Like it doesn’t cater to rich and abandon poor
Like they understand you, in the back of their jet
When you can’t put gas in your tank, these fuckers
Are laughing their way to the bank, and cashing their check
Asking you to have the passion and have some respect
For a leader so nervous in an obvious way
Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day
In the living room, laughing like, “What did he say?”

Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen

In my living room watching it, I am not laughing
‘Cause when it gets tense, I know what might happen
The world is cold, the bold men take action
Have to react to get blown into fractions
At 10 years old, it’s something to see
Another kid my age drugged under a Jeep
Taken and bound and found later under a tree
I wonder if he had thought ‘the next one could be me’
Do you see the soldiers that are out today?
They brush the dust from bulletproof vests away
It’s ironic, at times like this you’d pray
But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday
There’s bombs on the buses, bikes, roads
Inside your market, your shops, and your clothes
My dad, he’s got a lot of fear, I know
But enough pride inside not to let that show
My brother had a book he would hold with pride
A little red cover with a broken spine on the back
He hand-wrote a quote inside,
“When the rich wage war, it’s the poor who die”
Meanwhile, the leader just talks away
Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
The rest of the world watching at the end of the day
Both scared and angry, like “What did he say?”

Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen

With hands held high into a sky so blue
As the ocean opens up to swallow you

The Kills - Goodnight Bad Morning

The Speeds working I see it in everyone
Like a lost idea under lightbulb sun
Your eyes ready for take off melt in your hand
What a beautiful state we are in

The jailers in my mind are all dead
I love you so much, never forget
All of our secrets are coming undone
What a beautiful state we are in

Goodnight another bad morning
Goodnight another bad morning
Goodnight another bad morning
Goodnight another bad morning

Goodnight, another bad
Goodnight, another bad
Goodnight, another bad
Goodnight another bad morning

Editors - The boxer

A bruised full moon play fights with the stars,
This place is our prison, it's cells are the bars.
So take me to town, I want to dance with the city,
Show me something ugly and show me something pretty.

Damn this place, makes a boy out of me,
The ring meets my face by the count of three

An unwanted son pulls rank in the sky,
The boxer isn't finished, he's not ready to die,
I'm attracted to the light, I am attracted to the heat
It's a violent night, there are boxers in the streets.

Damn this place, makes a boy out of me,
The rain meets my face by the count of three.
Damn this place, makes a boy out of me,
The rain meets my face, I'm a fallen oak tree

Dazed in the final count,
Dazed in the final count,
Dazed in the final count,
Dazed in the final count.

dEUS - Magdalena

You drive too fast
can you please shut up
I'll call the police
if you don't stop.

You're just trying to scare me
you want me to know
that you're not this precious
little thing you hold.

You're afraid you say (and you're never sure)
of the coming day (if what you've seen before)
and I'm not that handsome (is what you'll see again)
anyway (In remembering)

But I'm feeling good
and if you don't exist
you're still one illusion
that I can't resist

Now you're holding back
and I'm holding on
Heaven knows what you want.
'Cause kicks like these
they're coming fast
but watching how long they last.

It's a funny time
to fall in love
feels like something pulled me up
to see me fall right off.
You drive too fast
but I don't care
wherever's fine
just take me there.

Now I'm holding back
and you're moving on
Heaven knows what I want
'Cause on a day like this
I'd believe anything
I don't know where to begin.

One for your coming
two for your shoes
Your buccaneer loving
and suicide moods
I wanna move
don't figure out much
into the new
[and] out of the blue, out of the darkness
out of the blue, out of the darkness
out of the blue, out of the darkness
out of the blue, out of the darkness
out of the blue, out of the darkness
out of the blue, out of the darkness

into the new, out of the blackness......

Pearl Jam - Pendulum

Can't know what's high
Til you been down so low

The future's bright
Lit up with no where to go

To and fro the pendulum throws

We are here and then we go
My shadow left me long ago

Understand what we don't know
This might pass, this might last, this may grow

Easy come easy go
Easy left me a long time ago

I'm in the fire, but I'm still cold
Nothing works, works for me anymore

To and fro the pendulum throws
To and fro the pendulum throws

To and fro
To and fro

Anneke van Giersbergen - Feel Alive

I feel your heart it beats against
The side of my face
I'm holding on the memory
Of our embrace

I see your smile and I'll never want it to fade again

You find your way trough hide-aways
In the back of your mind
Let's hope I find the energy
I'll never deny

I feel alive, you saved my heart
I lost control
I feel alive, you saved my mind
I wanted you to know

I'm holding on the fairytale
Of our embrace

I feel alive, you saved my heart
I lost control
I feel alive, you saved my mind
I wanted you to know

Placebo - Peeping Tom

I'm careful not to fall
I have to climb your wall
'Cause you're the one
Who makes me feel much taller than you are
I'm just a peeping tom
On my own for far too long
Problems with the booze
Nothing left to lose

I'm weightless... I'm bare
I'm faithless... I'm scared

The face that fills the hole
That stole my broken soul
The one that makes me seem to feel much taller than you are
I'm just a peeping tom
On my own for far too long
Troubles with the gear
Nothing left to fear

I'm weightless... I'm bare
I'm faithless... I'm scared
I'm weightless... I'm bare
I'm faithless... I'm scared

With every bet I lost
And every trick I tossed
You're still the one who makes me feel much taller than you are
I'm just a peeping tom
On my own for far too long
Problems with the booze
Nothing left to lose

I'm weightless... I'm bare
I'm faithless... I'm scared
I'm weightless... I'm bare
I'm faithless... I'm scared
I'm weightless... I'm bare
I'm faithless... I'm scared
I'm scared
I'm scared
I'm scared
I'm scared
