The Raveonettes - Observations

To live like other people
I never think I’ll do
And so my love i give into this dark

Flowers in the day time
And Lucifer at night
This woman said I’m torn between two lives

Visions of young lovers
Holding hands in joyful lights
Wishing they will never be apart

And so again I hold on
To someone I can't have
Obsessed with all the things that we could do

Take me on a night drive
And take me home again
A quiet trip where we will meet the end
To live like other people
I never think I’ll do
In defiance of a love not....
In defiance of a love not realized

Muse - Dead Inside

Revere a million prayers
And draw me into your holiness
But there’s nothing there
Light only shines from those who share

Unleash a million drones
Confine me, then erase me babe
Do you have no soul
It’s like it died long ago

Your lips feel warm to the touch
You can bring me back to life
On the outside you’re ablaze and alive
But you’re dead inside

You’re free to touch the sky
Whilst I am crushed and pulverised
Because you need control
Now I’m the one who’s letting go

You like to give an inch
Whilst I am giving infinity
But now I’ve got nothing left
You have no cares, and I’m bereft

Your skin feels warm to caress
I see magic in your eyes
On the outside you’re ablaze and alive
But you’re dead inside

Feel me now
Hold me please
I need you to see who I am
Open up to me
Stop hiding from me
It’s hurting babe
Only you can stop the pain

Don’t leave me out in the cold
Don’t leave me out to die
I gave you everything
I can’t give you any more
Now I’ve become just like you

My lips feel warm to touch
My words seem so alive
My skin is warm to caress
I’ll control and hypnotise
You’ve taught me to lie without a trace
And to kill with no remorse
On the outside I’m the  greatest guy
But now I’m dead inside

M83 - The Highest Journey

...

Paradise Lost - Missing

I step off the train
I’m walkin’ down your street again
And past your door
But you don’t live there anymore
It’s years since you’ve been there
But now you’ve disappeared somewhere
Like outer space
You’ve found some better place

And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain

Could you be dead?
You always were two steps ahead of everyone
We’d walk behind while you would run

I look up at your house
I can almost hear you shout down to me
Where I always used to be

I step off the train
I’m walkin’ down your street again
And past your door
But you don’t live there anymore
It’s years since you’ve been there
But now you’ve disappeared somewhere
Like outer space
You’ve found some better place

And I miss you
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain

And I miss you
(Like the deserts miss the rain)
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
(Like the deserts miss the rain)
Like the deserts miss the rain

R.E.M. - The One I Love

This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I've left behind
A simple prop to occupy my time
This one goes out to the one I love

Fire
Fire

This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I've left behind
A simple prop to occupy my time
This one goes out to the one I love

Fire (she's comin' down on her own, now)
Fire (she's comin' down on her own, now)

This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I've left behind
Another prop has occupied my time
This one goes out to the one I love

Fire (she's comin' down on her own, now)
Fire (she's comin' down on her own, now)
Fire (she's comin' down on her own, now)
Fire (she's comin' down on her own, now)

M83 - In The Cold I'm Standing

Something is coming now...

Megadeth - Poisonous Shadows

How much pain do you need to feel?
How much shame do you have to conceal?
There is no sunshine; just endless nights
Nobody's there, nobody cares when you cry

Is it my face you see, do I haunt you in your sleep
On your hands and knees, when you crawl through your nightmares
When there's no more grace, does your heartbeat start to race?
Clawing everywhere in the dark, poisonous shadows

How many secrets do you keep inside?
How many sins do you have to hide?
The haunting masses have blackened the sun
You'll pay for everything you've done, one by one

Is it my face you see, do I haunt you in your sleep
On your hands and knees, when you crawl through your nightmares
When there's no more grace, does your heartbeat start to race?
Clawing everywhere in the dark, poisonous shadows

"...it's like, I woke up, and she was right there.
I could almost touch her, although she's been gone for years now.
I can feel her... I can feel her watching me."

The Cure - Close To Me (Closer Mix)

I've waited hours for this
I've made myself so sick
I wish I'd stayed asleep today
I never thought this day would end
I never thought tonight could ever be
This close to me
Just try to see in the dark
Just try to make it work
To feel the fear before you're here
I make the shapes come much too close
I pull my eyes out
Hold my breath
And wait until I shake...

But if I had your faith
Then I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure
That my head on the door was a dream

I've waited hours for this
I've made myself so sick
I wish I'd stayed asleep today
I never thought this day would end
I never thought tonight could ever be
This close to me

But if I had your face
I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure
That my head on the door
Was a dream

Toy Dolls - I Wish My Eyes Were Earnie's

She looks so diviine & I can't see
Why she prefers that nerd to me
How come she ain't mine, I wanna be
I wish that I could be Ernie

'Ive got the blues, if I could choose
then I would be in Ernie's shoes ooee, Who's he... Ernie.
It would be my only chance,
if I were wearing Ernie's pants
I wish my eyes were, wish my eyes were...

I wish my eyes were Ernie's, I wish it could be true
I fantasize I have the eyes of Ernie's
to see through and
if my eyes were Ernie's, then I would not be blue
coz if my eyes were Ernie's
my eyes would be with you.

Her hands in Ernie's as she walks by
Its gone way to far
I'm shakin' at the knees, she looks so fine
how comes Ernie's bird aint mine

'with Ernie's arse & Ernie's chest
In Ernie's under-kegs n' vest
I wish my eyes were, I wish my eyes were...

I wish...

With Ernie's hand n' Ernie's arms
I wish that I had Ernie's charms
I would never let her go, If I were only Ernie oh
I wish my eyes were... Wish my eyes were ooooo

I wish my eyes were Ernie's...

Faith No More - Cone Of Shame

I'd like to peel the skin off
This winter day
I'd like to burn the hair off
This summer fling

What love can do when love's lost
Grow overweight
And smile as if
There's nothing left to say
Wear the cone of shame

Town is quiet now
Like it's holding its breath
Stone marks the spot
You know who you are
They outlined it in chalk
Word to the wise
And the barman calls time

I'd like to peel your skin off
So I can see what you really think
Or if there is anything
Under that cone of shame

I'd like to strip the bone off
So I can see how you're really made
And see how you really take
Your special pleasure

I'd like to pull your wings off
Read your lines like a gypsy
Just as lonely as anything
So infinite

Cone of shame covering all
You're only happy when you're pissing me off
Cone of shame covering all
I'm only happy when I'm pissing you off

Lana Del Rey - The Blackest Day

Carry me home, got my blue nail polish on
It's my favorite color and my favorite tone of song
I don't really wanna break up, we got it going on
It's what you gathered from our talk, but you were wrong

It's not easy for me to talk about
I have heavy heart-strings
I'm not simple, it's trigonometry
It's hard to express
I can't explain

Ever since my baby went away
It's been the blackest day, it's been the blackest day
All I hear is Billie Holiday
It's all that I play
It's all that I play

Because I'm going deeper and deeper (deeper)
Harder and harder (harder)
Getting darker and darker
Looking for love
In all the wrong places
Oh my God
In all the wrong places
Oh my God

Carry me home, got my new car and my gun
Wind in my hair, holding your hand, listen to our song
Carry me home, don't wanna talk about the things to come
Just put your hands up in the air, the radio on
Cause there's nothing for us to talk about
Like the future and those things
Cause there's nothing for me to think about
Now that he's gone, I can't feel nothing

Ever since my baby went away
It's been the blackest day, it's been the blackest day
All I hear is Billie Holiday
It's all that I play
It's all that I play

Because I'm going deeper and deeper (deeper)
Harder and harder (harder)
Getting darker and darker
Looking for love
In all the wrong places
Oh my God
In all the wrong places
Oh my God

You should've known better
Than to have, to let her
Get you under her spell of the weather
I got you where I want you
You're deader than ever
And falling for forever
I'm playing head games with you
Got you where I want you
I got you, I got you
I got you where I want you now

Ever since my baby went away
It's been the blackest day, it's been the blackest day
All I hear is Billie Holiday
It's all that I play
It's all that I play

It's not one of those phases I'm going through
Or just a song, it's not one of them
I'm on my own
On my own
On my own again
I'm on my own again
I'm on my own again
I'm on my own again

The National - Theory Of The Crows

Where crybabies cry
In the united states
Bright white on both sides
Like a plate
Nobody listens
Nobody should
It'd be a waste of attention

Not enough money
To buy a PC
So I come in this weekend
Asleep on my feet
And if I forget you
Ill have nobody left to forget
I guess thats what assholes get

Traded my day light
For a career

But I need you to disprove
My theory of the crows

Pouring my fingers across the keys
Will someone review my salary please?
Im selling my time to the man who sells style
That time should be mine to waste on you

Ill suck off investors
Ill suck off VCs

Im losing my posture from time on my knees
They treat me so well
Cause I'll do anything
Its in my nature of service

But ill need you to disprove
My theory of the crows

Kids of the wealthy are raised by the poor
You send daughters to los angelos and new york
I need mine to see me
When I wake up
I need mine to know
That im what they come to

When they come home

M83 - Slowly

...

Lamb - One

Here's a story
Of lover's finding
Union so deep
There is no unwinding
Tender threads exquisitely finding
Two lives together
One soul deep resounding

Love so strong whatever the weather
Even apart our souls are together
It's you and me, babe, forever and ever
Even apart we're dreaming together

One, one

Suddenly all time and space
Loses it's meaning when I see your face
And I'm wrapped up in heaven's grace
Feeling so safe in your sweet embrace

One, one, one...

R.E.M. - Green Grow The Rushes

The wheelbarrow's fallen
Look at my hands
They've found some surplus cheaper hands
Rubbing palms and pick and choose,
who will they choose? Here is the news.

Look at that building, look at this man
Halloed and whitewashed
Gone to find a cheaper hand
He'll offer a pound, offer a pound.

Green grow the rushes go
Green grow the rushes go
Green grow the rushes go
The compass points the workers home

Pay for your freedom, find another gate
Guilt by associate, the rushes wilted a long time ago
Guilty as you go

Stay off that highway, word is it's not so safe
The grasses that hide the greenback
The amber waves of gain again
The amber waves of gain

Green grow the rushes go
Green grow the rushes go
Green grow the rushes go
The compass points the workers home

Gliss - Is She Coming Down

I was living underneath the trees
Would you want to be with someone – me
Not because I love you
Not because I care
Not because it’s written in the air

Is she coming down
Is she coming down
Is she coming down
I think she’d like to

I was living underneath the trees
Really, would you want to be with me
Not because I love you
Not because I care
Not because it’s written in the air

Is she coming down
Is she coming down
Is she coming down
I think she’d like to

Florence And The Machine - Delilah

I'm drifting through the halls with the sunrise
(Holding on for your call)
Climbing up the walls for that flashing light
(I can never let go)

Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
(Holding on for your call)
Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
(Maybe not tonight)

Now the sun is up and I'm going blind
(Holding on for your call)
Another drink just to pass the time
(I can never say no)

Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
(Holding on for your call)
Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
(Maybe not tonight)

It's a different kind of danger
And the bells are ringing out
And I'm calling for my mother
As I pull the pillars down
It's a different kind of danger
And my feet are spinning around
Never knew I was a dancer
'Till Delilah showed me how

Too fast for freedom
Sometimes it all falls down
These chains never leave me
I keep dragging them around

Now I'm dancing with Delilah and her vision is mine
(Holding on for your call)
A different kind of danger in the daylight
(I can never let go)
Took anything to cut you, I can find
(Holding on for your call)
A different kind of a danger in the daylight
(Can't you let me know?)

Now it's one more boy and it's one more lie
(Holding on for your call)
Taking the pills just to pass the time
(I can never say no)

Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
(Holding on for your call)
Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
(Maybe not tonight)

It's a different kind of danger
And the bells are ringing out
And I'm calling for my mother
As I pull the pillars down
It's a different kind of danger
And my feet are spinning around
Never knew I was a dancer
'Till Delilah showed me how

Now I'm dancing with Delilah and her vision is mine
(Holding on for your call)
A different kind of danger in the daylight
(I can never let go)
Took anything to cut you, I can find
(Holding on for your call)
A different kind of a danger in the daylight
(Can't you let me know?)

Strung up, strung out for your love
Hang in, hung up, it's so rough
I'm wrung and ringing out
Why can't you let me know?

Strung up, strung out for your love

A Perfect Circle - Passive

“Dead as dead can be,” my doctor tells me
But I just can’t believe him, never the optimistic one
I’m sure of your ability to become my perfect enemy
Wake up and face me, don’t play dead cause maybe
Someday I will walk away and say, “You disappoint me,”
Maybe you’re better off this way

Leaning over you here, cold and catatonic
I catch a brief reflection of what you could and might have been
It's your right and your ability
To become…my perfect enemy…

Wake up (why can't you) and face me (come one now),
Don’t play dead (don't play dead)
Cause maybe (because maybe)
Someday I’ll (someday I'll) walk away and say, “You disappoint me,”
Maybe you’re better off this way

Maybe you’re better off this way
Maybe you’re better off this way
Maybe you’re better off this way
You’re better of this; you’re better off this;
Maybe you’re better off!

Wake up (can't you) and face me (come on now),
Don’t play dead (don't play dead)
Cause maybe (because maybe)
Someday I’ll (someday I'll) walk away and say, “You fucking disappoint me!”
Maybe you’re better off this way

Go ahead and play dead
I know that you can hear this
Go ahead and play dead
Why can't you turn and face me?
Why can't you turn and face me?
Why can't you turn and face me?
Why can't you turn and face me?
You fucking disappoint me!

Passive aggressive bullshit

R.E.M. - Time After Time (AnnElise)

Ask the girl of the hour by the water tower's watch
If your friends took a fall, are your obligated to follow
Time after time after time

When the bull's on his hooves, when you gather friends by the tower
If you try to refuse, will they judge your worth by the hour
Time after time after time, time after time after time

If you're tired and you've tried you can find me in my room
You can stay if you want but the third time you can't lose
Time after time after time, time after time after time

Ask the girl of the hour by the water tower's watch
We can fight if you want but who will turn out the lights
Time after time after time, time after time after time
Time after time after time, time after time after time

The Cramps - The Crusher

Now first you take your fist,
And you put it on your waist,
Then you squeeze your partner's head
Until she's blue in the face!

Yeah do the crusher!
Do the crusher!
Do the crusher, you turkey necks!
Do the crusher!
Do the crusher, you turkey necks!
Everybody's doing it!

Garbage - Run Baby Run

Love can be so strange
Don't it amaze you?
Everytime you give yourself away
It comes back to haunt you
Love's an elusive charm and it can be painful
To understand this crazy world
But you're not gonna crack
No you're never gonna crack

Run my baby run my baby run
Run from the noise of the street and the loaded gun
Too late for solutions to solve in the setting sun
So run my baby run my baby run

Life can be so cruel
Don't it astound you?
So when nothing seems too certain or safe
Let it burn through you
You can keep it pure on the inside
And you know what you believe to be right
So you're not gonna crack
No you're never gonna crack

Run my baby run my baby run
Run from the noise of the street and the loaded gun
Too late for solutions to solve in the setting sun
So run my baby run my baby run

Find out who you are before you regret it
Because life is so short, there's no time to waste it

So run my baby run my baby run
Run from the noise of the street and the loaded gun
Too late for solutions to solve in the setting sun
So run my baby run my baby run
Run my baby run my baby run
Run my baby run my baby run
Run my baby run my baby run
Run my baby run my baby run

The Dead Weather - Impossible Winner

I am the desert sun
The ever endless sea
Not a drop of blue or white
Is where it shouldn't be

I am a wheel going round
In a mirror house
A maze with no way out
What you have fears about

Holding on
To everything that's come and gone
I need distraction
Get me out from in between
Everything I've ever seen
Don't be long
I'm no beginner
I'll be here every night
My name up in lights
‘The impossible winner’

I am the wilderness
Dark end of the street
Coast of infinity
Far as the eye can see

I am a white noise song
Thorn upon a thorn
A wind that whips around
No part of any storm

Holding on
To everything that's come and gone
I need distraction
Get me out from in between
Everything I've ever seen
Don't be long
I'm no beginner
I'll be here every night
My name up in lights
‘The impossible winner’

Drag my body through the sand
Drag my body down the road
Drag me off to the end
Turn around, here I am
Drag me down, down low
Down, down some more
It makes no difference
Turn around, here I am

Blur - I Broadcast

I love the aspects of another city
The representatives are alright
In circulation the snake and the tiger
Waking up and shaving in industrial life

I broadcast
Buzzing on another day now
All for a cold sore
Something out of nothing

I love the airspace of another city
It's got your number and your blood type
They've been in cages I need some focus
The apparitions of another prodigal night
Right?

I broadcast
Buzzing on another day now
All for a high score
Something out of nothing

I'm running
I'm running
I'm running

I broadcast
Buzzing on another day now
All for a cold sore
Something out of nothing

I broadcast
Buzzing on another day now
All for a cold sore
Something out of nothing

Shake shake shake shake it. yeah...

Editors feat. Rachel Goswell - Ocean Of Night

Wasting on nothing
Effortlessly, you appear
Sound of the thunder
Reverberate in your ears
This is a slow dance
This is the chance to transform
Pause for the silence
In habit, the calm of the storm

This is your ocean, an ocean of night
This is the notion, your ocean of night
This is your ocean, an ocean of night
This is the notion, your ocean of night

Love is a feeling
Buried with me in the yard
Gaze at the skyline
Under the ocean of stars
This is your slow dance
And this is your chance to transform
Lost to a moment
The moment you confront the storm

This is your ocean, an ocean of night
This is the notion, your ocean of night
This is your ocean, an ocean of night
This is the notion, your ocean of night

I am your hope down the wire
So you can hold back the fire
I am your hope down the wire
So you can hold back the fire
I am your hope down the wire
So you can hold back the fire
I am your hope down the wire
So you can hold back the fire
I am your hope down the wire
So you can hold back the fire
I am your hope down the wire
So you can hold back the fire

This is your ocean, an ocean of night
This is the notion, your ocean of night
This is your ocean, an ocean of night
This is the notion, your ocean of night

Ocean of night
Ocean of night
Ocean of night
Ocean of night

U2 - The Crystal Ballroom

Life begins with the first glance
The first kiss at the first dance
All of us are wondering why we’re here
In the crystal ballroom underneath the chandelier

Wet the glass till the glasses sing
We punish our hearts till the heart bells ring
Cos where we come from we’re not always kind
The human story is what love leaves behind

We’re the ghosts of love and we haunt this place
We’re the ghosts of love in every face
In the ballroom of the crystal lights
Everyone’s here with me tonight
Everyone but you

Our first chance, is their last dance
Our life is shaped by another’s hands
Buttoning unbuttoning her Coco dress
Stopping and unstopping every cold caress

Born for bliss, born for this
Every human life begins with a kiss
Kissed by every kind of possibility
And everyone is here tonight with me

We’re the ghosts of love and we haunt this place
We’re the ghosts of love in every face
In the ballroom of the crystal lights
Everyone’s here with me tonight

Everyone but you
Everyone but you

March, April, May
She crammed night and day
I hadn't seen her smile in a while

March, April, May
She crammed night and day
I hadn't seen her smile in a while

Staircase at the university
She threw herself down and her head split three ways

"If you don't get three As," her sweet daddy said
You're no child of mine and as far as I'm concerned, you're dead
