Eddie Vedder - Sleeping By Myself

I should have know there was someone else
Now I'm alone I always kept it to myself
Now I believe in nothing
Not today as I move myself out of your sight
Oh I'll be sleeping by myself tonight

I could never go to noone else
The hurt don't show but who knows, time will tell
Now I believe in nothing but the pain
That I can't see this turning out right
Oh I'll be sleeping by myself tonight

Forever be sad and lonely
Forever never be the same
Oh I close my eyes and wait for a sign
Am I just waiting in vain?
Oh I'll be leaving love and disaster
Sometimes the two are just the same
I'm beginning to see
What's left of me is gonna have to be free to survive

I'll be sleeping by myself
I'll be sleeping by myself
I'll be sleeping by myself tonight

Bono with Daniel Lanois - Falling at your feet

Every chip from every cup
Every promise given up
Every reason that’s not enough
Is falling, falling at your feet…

Every band elastic limit
Every race when there’s nothing in it
Every winner that has lost their ticket
Is falling, falling at your feet…
I’ve come crawling, falling at your feet…

Everyone who needs a friend
Every life that has no end
Every knee not ready to bend
Is falling, falling at your feet
I’ve come crawling, now I’m falling at your feet…

All fall down…
All the manic days
The faces that you pull
All the x-rays not under your control
The graffiti rolling down off of your tongue
And the compromise you make for someone…

Every teenage with acne
Every face that’s spoiled by beauty
Every adult tamed by duty
Are all falling at your feet…

Every foot in every face
Every cop stop that finds the grace
Every prisoner in the Maze
Every hand that needs an ace
Is falling, falling at your feet
I’ve come crawling, now I’m falling at your feet…

All fall down…
All the books you never read
Just started
All the meals you rushed
And never tasted…

Every eye closed by a bruise
Every player who just can’t lose
Every pop star hurling abuse
Every drunk back on the booze
All falling at your feet, all falling at your feet…

All fall down…
All the information
All the big ideas
All the radio waves
On electronic seas
How to navigate
How to simply be
Don’t know when to wait
Explain simplicity
In whom shall I trust?
How might I be still?
Teach me to surrender
Not my will, THY will…

The Doors - You're Lost Little Girl

You're lost little girl
You're lost little girl
You're lost
Tell me who
Are you?

I think that you know what to do
Impossible? Yes, but it's true

The White Stripes - Death letter

I got a letter this morning
What do you reckon it read?
It said the gal you love is dead

I got a letter this morning
What do you reckon it read?
Said, "Hurry, hurry because the gal you love is dead"

Well I packed up my suitcase, I took off down the road
When I got there she was layin' on the cooling board
I packed up my suitcase and I took off down the road
When I got there she was layin' on the cooling board

It looked like ten thousand people standing around the burial ground
I didn't know I loved her till they began to let her down
Looked like ten thousand people standing on the burial ground
I didn't know that I loved her till they began to let her down

You know it's so hard to love someone that don't love you
Won't get satisfaction, don't care what you do
So hard to love someone that don't love you
Don't look like satisfaction, don't care what you do

Well I got up this morning the break of day
Just hugging the pillows, she used to lay
Got up this morning in the break of day
Just hugging the pillows where my baby used to lay

The Southern Death Cult - Fatman

The fatman cannot see
What's going on
For he's not me

The fatman takes away
What isn't his
He weakens you and me

Lust of your life
Money life
Your money is his life

Listen, can you hear?
Son, can you hear me?

The fatman, an unhappy man
When all his friends
Were fatmen too

The fatman takes away
What isn't his
He weakens you and me

Listen, can you hear?
Son, can you hear me?

Fatman break the rule
Fatman break the rule

The Breeders - No Aloha

No bye, no aloha
Gone with a rock promoter
A rock promoter
I know, I saw
And now may die

O the treats
Saw it on the wall
Motherhood means mental freeze
(Freezeheads)
No aloha
I know, I saw
And now may die

No bye, no aloha
Gone with a rock promoter
A rock promoter
I know, I saw
And now may die

Pearl Jam - Porch

What the fuck is this world
Running to? You didn't
Leave a message
At least I could have
Learned your voice one last time.
Daily minefield
This could be my time
How 'bout you?
Would you hit me?
Would you hit me?

All the bills go by
And initiatives are taken up
By the middle
There ain't gonna be any middle any more
And the cross I'm bearing home
Ain't indicative of my place
Left the porch
Left the porch

Hear my name
Take a good look
This could be the day
Hold my hand
Walk beside me
I just need to say...

Hear my name
Take a good look
This could be the day
Hold my hand
Lie beside me
I just need to say
What can I take?
I just want to be
I know that i would not ever touch you
Hold you
Feel you
Ever hold
Never again

Explosions In The Sky - Yasmin the light

...

Editors - The weight of the world

Keep a light on those you love,
They will be there when you die,
Baby there's no need to fear,
Baby there's no need to cry.

Every little piece in your life
Will add up to one
Every little piece in your life
Will it mean something to someone

You've fused my broken bones,
Back together and then,
Lift the weight of the world,
From my shoulders again.

Every little piece in your life
Will add up to one
Every little piece in your life
It will mean something to someone
Every little piece in your life
Will add up to one
Every little piece of your life
Will mean something to someone
You touch my face
God whispers in my ear
There are tears in my eyes
Love replaces fear
Touch my face
God whispers in my ear
There are tears in my eyes
Love replaces fear
Fear

Every little piece in your life
Will add up to one
Every little piece in your life
Will mean something to someone
Every little piece in your life
Will add up to one
Every little piece of your life
Will mean something to someone

Soap&Skin - Cradlesong

I thud on a drum
Barely a span long
The rough barrel-beat
Was my cradlesong

You ask why I keep still
Why I don’t pour it out into the night
You know
You know if it rises and floats
It effaces every piece of light

Foreign what my lips say
Foreign my hair, my dress
Foreign what your eyes ask
About this strangeness

You ask why I keep still
Why I don’t pour it out into the night
You know
You know if it rises and float
It effaces every piece of light

When scream masses on wound
I want to meet you
When the great testimony
From your branches trickles down

Here my soul grows
‘Til it smashes
Above the scene, the balcony

dEUS - Roses

Rose said quote: "it's time to make a mess"
Time won't be soon mine in time I guess
She's painting on my back a beautiful flowerpot
And she treats me she treats me she treats me like her local god

Rose said quote: "it's time to make a mess"
This one's yours and yours is self obsessed
She's painting on my back a green tom, the Beefheart one
And she cuddles and she coos
and she cuts the bullshit I confessed

She said: "Don't look my way"
What can I possibly say
I've never seen you before today
I'm just the one that makes you think of the one
that makes you feel like you're the one."

But thank you for the roses for the roses
So thank you for the roses for the roses
Thank you for the roses for the roses
Thank you for the roses for the roses

Rose said quote: "it's time to make a mess"
remind me what it is that I do best
She's painting on my back some beautiful something sweet
And she treats me, she treats me, she beats me

Rose said quote: "my time has come at last"
Ugly things through my mind they have passed
She's scratching on my back 'if this boy believes me'
She leaves me, deceives me and takes those flowers just to please me...

Rose don't mind where she been
She been blind
She been mine
all this time
She been kind
She been blind
She says: "Thank you for the roses for the roses."

Just to thank you for the roses for the roses
Just to thank you for the roses for the roses
Just to thank you for the roses for the roses
Just to thank you for the roses for the roses
Just to thank you for the roses for the roses

Just to thank you...

This Mortal Coil - I Come And Stand At Every Door

I come and stand at every door
But no-one hears my silent dread
I knock and yet remain unseen
For I am dead, for I am dead

I'm only seven although I've died
In Hiroshima long ago
I'm seven now as I was then
When children die they do not grow

My hair was scorched by swirling flame
My eyes grew dim, my eyes grew blind
Death came and turned my bones to dust
And that was scattered by the wind

I need no fruit, I need no rice
I need no sweet, nor even bread
I ask for nothing for myself
For I am dead, for I am dead

All that I ask is that for peace
You fight today, you fight today
So that the children of this world
May live and grow, and laugh and play

(originally recorded by Pete Seeger)

The Cranberries - Salvation

To all those people doin' lines,
Don't do it, don't do it.
Inject your soul with liberty,

Sleepless nights.

Violent Femmes - Jesus Walking on Water

Oh my, oh my, oh my, what if it was true?
And oh my, oh my, oh my, tell me is it true?
Did he, did he, did he die upon that cross?
And did he, did he, did he come back across?

Jesus walking on the water, Sweet Jesus walking in the sky.
Sinking sand, took my hand, raised me up, and brought me up,
So I can hold my head up high...

Will I, will I, will I be true to my birth?
And will I, will I, will I give what I'm worth?
Oh, yes, sir, yes, sir, yes, sir, I come when you call
And, yes, sir, yes, sir, yes, sir, sweet Jesus, my all-in-all.

Björk - Hyperballad

We live on a mountain
Right at the top
There's a beautiful view
From the top of the mountain
Every morning I walk towards the edge
And throw little things off
Like:
Car parts, bottles and cutlery
Or whatever I find lying around

It's become a habit
A way
To start the day

I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you

It's early morning
No one is awake
I'm back at my cliff
Still throwing things off
I listen to the sounds they make
On their way down
I follow with my eyes 'til they crash
Imagine what my body would sound like
Slamming against those rocks

When it lands
Will my eyes
Be closed or open?

I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you

L7 - Slide

Echo & The Bunnymen - All My colours

Flying
And I know I'm not coming down
You're trying
But you know you must soon go down
All my colors turn to clouds
All my colors turn to clouds

Zimbo

What d'you say
When your heart's in pieces?
How d'you play
Those cards in sequence?
That box you gave me burned nicely
That box you gave me burned nicely

Zimbo

Flying down
Flying down
All my colors turn to clouds

Hey, I've flown away
Hey, I'm blown away

MGMT - I Found a Whistle

Hey I found a whistle that hangs like a charm
And when my noose is tied I could blow it
And fall down into your arms
15 centuries of dissolution and grief
To return a yellow trickster and a thief

Yeah I found a whistle that works every time
That's when the trail escapes to nowhere
And the flood erases the crime
Such conviction
To paint all the wall with the blood
Of the young and the faithful and the good

Yeah I found a whistle as thin as a sheet
To split the dumbness of a vision
Between asleep and a sleep
Tiny axes
Repeatedly raising the flag
All ignored, real emotion's such a drag

Hey I've got a pistol that's aimed at your heart
And on dark nights when the moon is right
I could show you
The head attached with a scarf
Aerophane sorceress, at home obeying the fates
When it's gone, has it gone all the way?

This time
Found a whistle
That works every time
Yeah, I found a whistle
That works
Hangs like a charm
Yeah, found a whistle
That works every time
Yeah, I found a whistle
That works
Closes my mind every time
A whistle
I've got it,
I've got it,
This time

Deftones - Hexagram

And your parents are proud...

And the car bomb tick ticks with the same sound!

PJ Harvey - Easy

Oyster pearl
You easy girls
You're flapping in
You're shouting
You're dead good
All the men say
Legs wide, hips swinging like a doorway

Easy
Easy
Easy

I'm ranting
I'm raving
I'm taking in just everything
You're giving me no leeway
I opened once and you called me devil's gateway

Easy
Easy
Easy
Easy

And I deserve it
I asked for it
Have to admit it
We dress like targets
Yeah I deserve it
Give me no leeway
I'll give you fine times
You can call me devil's gateway

Easy
Easy
Easy (and I deserve it)
Easy (and I deserve it)

Coldplay - Politik

Look at earth from outer space
Everyone must find a place
Give me time and give me space
Give me real, don't give me fake

Give me strength, reserve control
Give me heart and give me soul
Give me time give us a kiss
Tell me your own politik

And open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes

Give me one, 'cause one is best
In confusion, confidence
Give me peace of mind and trust
Don't forget the rest of us
Give me strength, reserve control
Give me heart and give me soul
Wounds that heal and cracks that fix
Tell me your own politik

And open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Just open up your eyes

But give me love over, love over, love over this

The Raconteurs - Many Shades of Black

Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead
And smash it on the floor
Take whatever's left
And take it with you out the door...

See if I cry,
see if I shed a single sorry tear
I can't say that it's been that great
No, in fact it's been a wasted-free year

Everybody sees
And everyone agrees
That you and I are wrong
And it's been that way too long

Take it as it comes
and be thankful when it's done
There's so many ways to act
and there's many shades of black
There's so many shades of black
There's so many shades of black

Let it out (let it all out) let it all out
Say what's on your mind
You can kick and scream
and shout and say things
That are so unkind.

Yeah,
See if I care
And see if I stand firm or if I fall
Cause in the back of my mind,
and on the tip of my tongue
is the answer to it all...

And everybody sees
And everyone agrees
That you and I are wrong
And it's been that way too long

Take it as it comes
and be thankful when it's done
There's so many ways to act
and there's many shades of black,
There's so many shades of black,
Yeah, there's many shades of black

Yeah...
Everybody sees
And everyone agrees
That you and I are wrong
And it's been that way too long

So take it as it comes
and be thankful when it's done
There's so many ways to act
and you cannot take it back
no you cannot take it back
there's so many shades of black,
There's so many shades of black,
Yeah, there's many shades of black
there's so many shades of black
there's so many shades of black
Yeah, there's many shades of black
there's so many shades of black
Yeah, there's many shades of black
there's so many shades of black

Oh yeah

Bauhaus - Crowds

What do you want of me
What do you long from me
A slim Pixie, thin and forlorn
A count, white and drawn
What do you make of me
What can you take from me
Pallid landscapes off my frown
Let me rip you up and down

For you I came to forsake
Lay wide despise and hate
I sing of you in my demented songs
For you and your stimulations
Take what you can of me
Rip what you can off me
And this I'll say to you
And hope that it gets through

You worthless bitch
You fickle shit
You would spit on me
You would make me spit
And when the Judas hour arrives
And like the Jesus Jews you epitomize
I'll still be here as strong as you
And I'll walk away in spite of you

And I'll walk away
Walk away

The Sisters Of Mercy - Driven Like the Snow

Still night, nothing for miles,
White curtain come down,
Kill the lights in the middle of the road
And take a look around...
It don't help to be one of the chosen
One of the few, to be sure
When the wheels are spinning around
And the ground is frozen through, and you're
Driven, like the snow
Pure in heart
Driven together
And given
Away to the west
A white dress
'Til the river don't run
A black dress
Looking like mine
'Til the sun don't shine no more
Where the sky meet the ground
Where the street fold round
Where the voice you hold don't make no sound, look
Snow on the river and two by two
Took a lot to live a lot like you, I don't
Go there now, but I hear they sung
Their "Fuck Me And Marry Me Young"
Some wild idea and a big white bed, now
You know better than that, I said,
Like a voice in the wind blow little crystals down
Like brittle things will break before they turn
Like lipstick on my cigarette
And the ice get harder overhead
Like think it twice but never never learn...

And the mist will wrap around us
And the crystal, if you touch it...

And the cars
Lost in the drift
Are there
And the people that drive
Lost in the drift
Are there
And the cares I've
Lost in the drift
Are there
Theirs, ours,
Lost in the drift
Are..
Driven
Driven together
And driven
Apart

A Perfect Circle - The noose

So glad to see you have overcome them
Completely silent now.
With heaven's help,
You’ve cast your demons out.
And not to pull your halo down
around your neck and tug you off your cloud,
But I'm more than just a little curious
How you're planning to go about
Making your amends to the dead.

Recall the deeds as if they're all someone else's atrocious stories.
Now you stand reborn before us all.
So glad to see you well

And not to pull your halo down
Around your neck and tug you to the ground

But I'm more than just a little curious
How you're planning to go about
Making your amends to the dead with your halo slipping down.

Your halo’s slipping down to choke you

Muse - Sunburn

Come waste your millions here,
Secretly she sneers.
Another corporate show,
A guilty conscience grows.

And I'll feel a guilty conscience grow,
And I'll feel a guilty conscience grow.

She burns like the sun
and I can't look away,
And she'll burn our horizons
make no mistakes.

Come let the truth be shared,
No-one ever dared to break,
These endless lies,
Secretly she cries.

She burns like the sun,
And I can't look away,
And she'll burn our horizons,
Make no mistakes.

And I'll hide from the world,
Behind a broken frame,
And I'll run forever,
I can't face the shame.

And I'll hide from the world,
Behind a broken frame,
And I'll run forever,
I can't face the shame.

Kings Of Leon - King Of The Rodeo

He's so the purity, a shaven and a mourning,
And standing on a pigeon toe, in his disarray

Straight in the picture pose
He's coming round to meet you

And screaming like a battle cry, it's more if I stay

Me and your cold, driving in the snow,
Let the good times roll let the good times roll,
Cowgirl king of the rodeo let the good times roll,
Let the good times roll

How dare you come to me like Withnail for a favor,
Hold on not my fairy tale you're trying to start

Take off your overcoat you're staying for the weekend,
And swaying like a smokey grey, a drink in the park

Good time to roll on

Placebo feat. David Bowie - Without You I'm Nothing

Strange infatuation seems to grace the evening tide
I'll take it by your side
Such imagination seems to help the feeling slide
I'll take it by your side
Instant correlation sucks and breeds a pack of lies
I'll take it by your side
Over saturation curls the skin and tans the hide
I'll take it by your side

Tick - tock
Tick - tock
Tick - tock
Tick - tick
Tick - tick
Tick - tock

I'm unclean, a libertine
And every time you vent your spleen
I seem to lose the power of speech
You're slipping slowly from my reach
You grow me like an evergreen
You've never seen the lonely me at all

I
Take the plan, spin it sideways
I
Fall

Without you, I'm nothing
Without you, I'm nothing
Without you, I'm nothing
(Take the plan, spin it sideways)
Without you, I'm nothing at all

Joy Division - A Means To An End

A legacy so far removed,
One day will be improved.
Eternal rights we left behind,
We were the better kind.
Two the same, set free too,
I always looked to you,
I always looked to you,
I always looked to you.

We fought for good, stood side by side,
Our friendship never died.
On stranger waves, the lows and highs,
Our vision touched the sky,
Immortalists with points to prove,
I put my trust in you.
I put my trust in you.
I put my trust in you.
A house somewhere on foreign soil,
Where ageing lovers call,
Is this your goal, your final needs,
Where dogs and vultures eat,
Committed still I turn to go.
I put my trust in you.
I put my trust in you.
I put my trust in you.
I put my trust in you.
In you. In you. In you.
Put my trust in you, in you.
