Pixies - Classic Masher

Saw you coming my way
Put my nose in a book
Some crap that you gave me
Or something that I took

Man, he looked so good
It had to be ooze leather
He's so together
Oozing like I never could

I bet he's a classic masher
He toot-toots when he likes the view
Tête-à-tête with his haberdasher
They talk boots while they're laughing at you

He's playing dumb
You're looking at clothes
Straightening his hat
Mr. Shnook ho-hum

I should've shook his hand
I never used to feel bad
I never felt so blue
Guess I never amused you

I bet he's a classic masher
He toot-toots when he likes the view
Tête-à-tête with his haberdasher
They talk boots while they're laughing at you

I bet he's a classic masher
He toot-toots when he likes the view
Tête-à-tête with his haberdasher
They talk boots while they're laughing at you
(They talk boots while they're laughing at you)
They talk boots while they're laughing at you
(They talk boots while they're laughing at you)
They talk boots while they're laughing at you
(They talk boots while they're laughing at you)
They talk boots while they're laughing at you
(They talk boots while they're laughing at you)

Placebo - The Bitter End

Since we're feeling so anaesthetised
In our comfort zone
Reminds me of the second time
That I followed you home

We're running out of alibis
From the second of May
Reminds me of the summer time
On this winter's day

See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end

Every step we take that's synchronized
Every broken bone
Reminds me of the second time
That I followed you home

You shower me with lullabies
As you're walking away
Reminds me that it's killing time
On this fateful day

See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end

From the time we intercepted
Feels a lot like suicide
Slow and sad, grown inside us
Arouse and see you're mine
(See you at the bitter end)

Love has seen your run-around
Who wanna seek you now?
I want a peace
I'd whine out
(See you at the bitter end)

Love's reached his side
Grab this gentleness inside
Heard a cry
Six feet down
In six weeks' time
The mess you left
Will end
See you at the bitter end

The Clash - London's Burning

London's burning! London's burning!

All across the town, all across the night
Everybody's driving with full headlights
Black or white turn it on, face the new religion
Everybody's sitting 'round watching television!

London's burning with boredom now
London's burning dial 99999

I'm up and down the Westway, in an' out the lights
What a great traffic system - it's so bright
I can't think of a better way to spend the night
Then speeding around underneath the yellow lights

London's burning with boredom now
London's burning dial 99999

Now I'm in the subway and I'm looking for the flat
This one leads to this block, this one leads to that
The wind howls through the empty blocks looking for a home
I run through the empty stone because I'm all alone

London's burning with boredom now...
London's burning dial 99999

Explosions In The Sky - The Birth And Death Of The Day

...

The Strokes - Chances

I waited for ya
I waited for ya
I waited on ya
But now I don't

You didn't see it
I didn't see it
I didn't see it
But now, oh, I do

I play your game
I play your game
Now
I play your game
I play your game

I take my chances alone
Get on your horse and be gone
I will not wait up for you anymore
So you can ask me if something is wrong
Will you go?
I don't know anymore

When the night isn't ready for you
It's a feeling I know that dogs you
They invited a stewardess, too
Now they want you to see it
Here's to days he decides he's got time
And he claims that it's not a surprise
When he finds out the truth's on his side

I take my chances alone
Get on your horse and be gone
I will not wait up for you anymore
So you can ask me if something is wrong
Will you go?
I don't know anymore
I don't believe anyone
As they crawl out of my way

Waiting for the night
Leaving night by night
You can see me travel
We could be in trouble every night
We're having a new life

Cocteau Twins - Summerhead

My dreams end with us
My tears have run away
Our goal, goal collapsed
Energy of lonesome goal
May pushes, leaves and never feels
Shame casts offense
Shame casts her face
Star reason starring of the place

Safe at last
Seeing my thoughts in order
Safe, fallen down this way
I will be just what I am

Steal more treasures, steal more gifts
This'll size creative lies
Until we drop
It won't free you to go look for the key
My consciousness don't look away
What might keep them, but a slave
What might keep them, but a slave
My truth's not even, even half of what's

Safe at last
Seeing my thoughts in order
Safe, fallen down this way
I will be just what I am

Safe at last
Seeing my thoughts in order
Safe, fallen down this way
I will be just what I am

Safe at last
Seeing my thoughts in order
Safe at last

Safe at last
Seeing my thoughts in order
Safe, fallen down this way
I will be just what I am

Safe at last
Seeing my thoughts in order
Safe, fallen down this way
I will be just what I am

The Doors - Indian Summer

I love you, the best
Better than all the rest
I love you, the best
Better than all the rest
That I meet in the summer
Indian summer
That I meet in the summer
Indian summer
I love you, the best
Better than all the rest

Peter Murphy - Seven Veils

The day grows older
The moon appears in a mirror
A fire side mirror
A distant walker
Hears the words
Do do good deeds
So you feel ok
The moon and the sun
Partners in light
Separating reflecting one light
Hearing this confusion wanes
No need to ask for wealth
Or one thing more now

And the night
Feels the same
As a cool hot summers climb
With the voice
Comes no shame
As the walker walks the line
The day grows older
The moon appears
Reflecting on his heart
Heavy weighed and pierced
The walker looks at his days
Bad deeds gone by
For which he must pay
The moon and the sun
Partners in light
Separating reflecting one light
Hearing this confusion wanes
Another image hits
The seven veils of mind

But the night
Feels the same
As a cool hot summers climb
With the voice comes no shame
As the walker hunts the line

Violent Femmes - Dating Days

Three women
In thirty days
Tell me seriously
Our dating days
Are over and done
Are dead and gone
It seems that no matter how much I drink
I seem to still stay sober
It seems that no matter how young I am
I seem to still feel older
Three men are going to hell
Thirty women are going to jail
Jonah swore he swallowed the whale
Thirty thirsty women
Three hundred women in three hours
Told me boy forget the flowers
Christ told a man called 1 legion
Come into the fold and start preachin'
Your devil days are over and gone
Your weary days are dead and done
Your happiness has begun

Bauhaus - Double Dare

I dare you, to be real
To touch a flickering flame
The pangs of dark delight
Don't cower in night fright

Don't back away just yet
From destinations set
I dare you to be proud
To dare to shout aloud
For convictions that you feel
Like sound from bells to peal
I dare you to speak of your despise
For bureaucracy, hypocrisy- all liars

I dare
I dare
I dare, you, you

The Cure - Prayers For Rain

You shatter me
Your grip on me
A hold on me
So dull it kills
You stifle me
Infectious sense
Of hopelessness and
Prayers for rain
I suffocate
I breathe in dirt
And nowhere shines
But desolate
And drab the hours all spent
On killing time again
All waiting for
The rain

You fracture me
Your hands on me
A touch so plain
So stale it kills
You strangle me
Entangle me
In hopelessness and
Prayers for rain
I deteriorate
I live in dirt
And nowhere glows
But drearily and tired
The hours all spent
On killing time again
All waiting for
The rain

Björk - Unravel

While you are away
My heart comes undone
Slowly unravels
In a ball of yarn

The devil collects it
With a grin
Our love
In a ball of yarn

He'll never return it
So when you come back
We'll have to make new love

He'll never return it
When you come back
We'll have to make new love

While you are away
My heart comes undone
Slowly unravels
In a ball of yarn

The devil collects it
With a grin
Our love, our love,
In a ball of yarn

He'll never return it
When you come back
We'll have to make new love

He'll never return it
When you come back
We'll have to make new love

He'll never return it
When you come back
We'll have to make new love

Beastie Boys - Slow Ride

They got a committee to get me off the block
'Cause I say my rhymes loud and I say 'em nonstop
Because being bad news is what we're all about
We went to White Castle and we got thrown out
I got my boy Mike D. - I got the King Adrock I got the jammy with the ammo inside my sock
I shot homeboy but the bullet was a dud
So I reached in the Miller cooler - grabbed a cool Bud

Slow riding, gun hidin' on the go
I'm fly like an eagle and I drink Old Crow
I'm the king of the classroom - coolin' in the back
My teacher had beef so I gave her a smack
She chased me out of class she was strapped with a ruler
Went to the bathroom - rolled myself a wooler
With bottle in hand at the microphone stand
A. yo homeboy - what you drinkin' man

I got money, I got juice
I got to the party and I got loose
I got rhythms, I got rhymes
I got the girlies with the Def behinds
I got ill, I got busted
I got dust and I got dusted
I got gold, I got funky
I got the new dance they call the Brass Monkey

Because I'm hard hittin' always biten cool as hell
I got trees on my mirror so my car won't smell
Sittin' around the house gettin' high and watchin' tube
Eating Colonel's chicken drinkin' Heineken brew
I'm a gangster, I'm a prankster I'm the king of the Ave.
I'm hated, confrontated for the juice that I have
All the fly ladies are making a fuss
But I can't pay attention 'cause I'm on that dust

Depeche Mode - Secret To The End

Oh when I look at you
I'm probably the same way too
I got a feeling that it's coming soon
Could this be the end

When I look around this room
There must be something I can do
Can I convince you that it isn't true
We've come to the end

Did I disappoint you
I wanted to believe it's true
Oh the book of love was not enough
To see us through
The problem
Should have been you (Should have been you)
Should have been you (Could have been you)
Should have been you (Would have been you)
(Should have been you, Would have been you)
If it hadn't been me
(Would have been you, Could have been you)
Should have been you (Should have been you)
Should have been you (Would have been you)
(Should have been you)
If it hadn't been me

It seems so obvious to you
You're feeling what I am feeling too
The final chapter in the contract expires soon
We've come to the end

Thank God I'm not the same as you
You always know exactly what to do
It's who I am, it's not like you
We've come to the end

Did I disappoint you
I wanted to believe it's true
The book of love was not enough
To see us through
The problem
Should have been you (Should have been you)
Should have been you (Could have been you)
Should have been you (Would have been you)
(Should have been you, Could have been you)
If it hadn't been me
(Would have been you, Could have been you)
Should have been you (Should have been you)
Should have been you (Would have been you)
(Should have been you)
If it hadn't been me

Chelsea Wolfe - Demons

Sid get out of the way
Sid your love is a pain
Said my love is an empire
Said get outta the way

Demons demons demons demons

Sid get outta the way
Said your love is a waste
Said no one if I can't have her
Said no one - he's a fake

Sid get outta the way
Sid your love is a pain
Said my love is an empire
Sid get outta the way

Demons demons demons demons

Metallica - My Friend Of Misery

You just stood there screaming
Fearing no one was listening to you
They say the empty can rattles the most
The sound of your own voice must soothe you
Hearing only what you want to hear
And knowing only what you've heard

You
You're smothered in tragedy
And you're out to save the world

        Misery
        You insist that the weight of the world
        Should be on your shoulders
       
        Misery
        There's much more to life than what you see
        My friend of misery

You still stood there screaming
No one caring about these words you tell
My friend, before your voice is gone
One man's fun is another's hell
These times are sent to try men's souls
But something's wrong with all you see

You
You'll take it on all yourself
Remember, misery loves company

        Misery
        You insist that the weight of the world
        Should be on your shoulders
       
        Misery
        There's much more to life than what you see
        My friend of misery

You just stood there screaming
My friend of misery

The Dead Weather - Bone House

I build a house
For your bones
I build a house

I build a house
For your bones

I wrote a song
Go on and listen
That's all you'll hear
When I go missing

I wrote a song
Go on and listen

When I go missing

I always get, I always get,
The things I want

I make a nest
For your hair
I lay you down
I lay you there
I build a ship
I sink or sail
Every tooth
And every nail

I always get, the things I want
I always get, the things I want
I always get, the things I want
I always get, the things I want

I put your heart
In a vault
That's how I get
The things I want

In a vault
That's how I get
The things I want

I lay a road
For your mind
So your mind can
Go, go, go, go

So your mind can
Go, go, go, go

I always get the things I want
I always get the things I want
I always get the things I want
I always get the things I want

I build a house
I build a home
I build a house
For your bones
I build a house
For your bones
I build a house
I build a home

Sigur Rós - Dauðalogn (Dead Calm)

Heimur hljóðlátur
Hreyfist ei hár láð í
Hljómar grafarþögn
Enginn vaknaður
Enginn taktur hraður
Algert dauðalogn

Enn á eðal tél
Lýðar gætúr birta von
Gegnum mér sjá logn
Allt toginá alða

Við áttan er greið
Ferðamönnum og mér
Fyllir fjallasal
Þetta bergmálar
Bergmálar í höfðum
Úti dauðalogn

Enn á eðal tél
Lýðar gætúr birta von
Gegnum sjá logum mér
Nú signu vast að unðum til von
Morguni vætur
Allt sítt logngára stað
Og múkk árast í
Og múkk brjótum í dauðalogn

(The world silent
No movement in the high land
Sounds like the silence of a grave
There is none awake
There is no rapid tempo
Total dead calm

Yet the noble believe
People may show hope
I see through the calm
All towing on the centuries

We realize it's easy
Tourists and me
Fill the mountains
This echoes
Echoes in our heads
There is dead calm

Yet the noble believe
People may show hope
Through the flames I see
Now a dark boat wonder into the hope
The morning rain
All its calm ripples in place
And the seagull attacks in
And the seagull breaks into the dead calm)

Paradise Lost - Never Again

Murder more or less
The anger rages
Blame your loneliness
Blame your situation

The essence is how
Much pleasure allowed
Solution is stealing
The times that you try
So many must die
Their loss so appealing

Is it too much to say
Never again, never again
Is it too much to say
Never again, never again

Murder more or less
The sense engages
Blame unwillingness
Blame your complications

The essence is how
Much pleasure allowed
Solution is stealing
The times that you try
So many must die
Their loss so appealing

Is it too much to say
Never again, never again
Is it too much to say
Never again, never again

New Order - Everything's Gone Green

Help me, somebody help me
I wonder where I am
I see my future before me
I'll hurt you when I can

It seems like I've been here before
It seems like I've been here before
It seems like I've been here before
It seems like I've been here before
It seems like I've been here before


Confusion sprung up from devotion
A halo that covers my eyes
It sprung from this first estrangement
No one have I ever despised

Is this the way that you wanted to pay
Won't you show me, please show me the way
Is this the way that you wanted to pay
Won't you show me, please show me the way
Show me
Show me
Show me
Show me
Show me

Blur - Sunday Sunday

Sunday Sunday here again in tidy attire
You read the colour supplement, the TV guide
You dream of protein on a plate, regret you left it quite so late
To gather the family around the table, to eat enough to sleep
Oh the Sunday sleep

Sunday Sunday here again a walk in the park
You meet an old soldier and talk of the past
He fought for us in two World Wars and says the England he knew is no more
He sings Songs of Praise every week but always falls asleep
For that Sunday sleep

Sunday Sunday, lalalala.....
Sunday

Sunday Sunday here again in tidy attire
You read the colour supplement, the TV guide
You dream of protein on a plate, regret you left it quite so late
To gather the family around the table, to eat enough to sleep
And Mother's pride is your epithet, that extra slice you will soon regret
So going out is your best bet, then bingo yourself to sleep
Oh the Sunday sleep

M83 - By The Kiss

...

The Mars Volta - Empty Vessels Make The Loudest Sound

If I trust in the wind she will pave me a different road
I will try and start over but I think I must choose someone else
I am pulled from the pages where the letters lack the pigment of trust

Must be on my way, I've got to get home
Won't be back someday, so let it unfold

I've abandoned the outcome in search of the rest I deserve
You can do what you will with my body but I won't ring the bell
I've omitted the chapters that bow and admit defeat

Must be on my way, I've got to get home
Won't be back someday, so let it unfold

I am a mountain
Of cavernous people
Searching for a lighthouse in the fog

Of the flowers that grew from the cracks in the ground you paved
Didn't you think he would warn me through the thorns of my waking dreams
When the riddles connected the dots of this constellation

Must be on my way, I've got to get home
Won't be back someday, so let it unfold

I am a mountain
Of cavernous people
Searching for a lighthouse in the fog

I found a reason to leave you with this load
All I can do is forgive your broken heart
Trapped in this tower made of amber for too long
All I can do is forgive your broken heart

Björk - It's Oh So Quiet

It's. Oh. So quiet
It's. Oh. So still
You're all alone
And so peaceful until...

You fall in love
Zing boom
The sky up above
Zing boom
Is caving in
Wow bam
You've never been so nuts about a guy
You wanna laugh you wanna cry
You cross your heart and hope to die

'Til it's over and then
It's nice and quiet
But soon again
Starts another big riot

You blow a fuse
Zing boom
The devil cuts loose
Zing boom
So what's the use
Wow bam
Of falling in love

It's. Oh. So quiet
It's. Oh. So still
You're all alone
And so peaceful until...

You ring the bell
Bim bam
You shout and you yell
Hi ho ho
You broke the spell
Gee. This is swell you almost have a fit
This guy is "gorge" and i got hit
There's no mistake this is it

'Til it's over and then
It's nice and quiet
But soon again
Starts another big riot

You blow a fuse
Zing boom
The devil cuts loose
Zing boom
So what's the use
Wow bam
Of falling in love

The sky caves in
The devil cuts loose
You blow blow blow blow blow your fuse
When you've fallen in love

Ssshhhhhh...

Mogwai - Fat Man

Morrissey - Mute Witness

Your poor witness
Crying so loudly on the floor
Oh, well, she's only trying to tell you
What it was that she saw
She is only trying to tell you
What it was that she saw

Now see her standing on the table
With her small arms flailing
And you feel such compassion
In your soul for
Your mute witness
Still testing the strength
Of our patience

Oh, well she's only trying to tell you
What it was that she saw
She is only trying to tell you
What it was that she saw

Now see her pointing to the Frisbee
With a memory so fuzzy
And her silent words
Describing the sight of last night
Four A.M. Northside, Clapham Common
Oh, god, what was she doing there ?
Will she sketch the answer later ?
Well, I will ask her

"Now dry your tears, my dear"
Now see her mime in time so nicely
It would all have been so clear
If only she had never volunteered
"Your taxi is here, my dear"

La, la, la-la...

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Dosed

I got dosed by you and,
Closer than most to you and,
What am I supposed to do,
Take it away,
I never had it anyway,
Take it away,
And everything will be okay...

In you a star is born and,
You cut a perfect form and,
Someone forever warm,
Lay on, lay on, lay on, lay on,
Lay on, lay on, lay on, lay on...

Way upon the mountain where she died,
All I ever wanted was your life,
Deep inside the canyon I can't hide,
All I ever wanted was your life...

Show love with no remorse and,
Climb on to your seahorse and,
This ride is right on course,
This is the way,
I wanted it to be with you,
This is the way,
I knew that it would be with you,
Lay on, lay on, lay on, lay on,
Lay on, lay on, lay on, lay on...

Way upon the mountain where she died,
All I ever wanted was your life,
Deep inside the canyon I can't hide,
All I ever wanted was your life...

I got dosed by you and,
Closer than most to you and,
What am I supposed to do,
Take it away,
I never had it anyway,
Take it away,
And everything will be okay...

Way upon the mountain where she died,
All I ever wanted was your life,
Deep inside the canyon I can't hide,
All I ever wanted was your life...

Moby feat. Sinéad O'Connor - Harbour

The street bears no relief
When everybody's fighting
The street bears no relief
With light so hot and binding

I run the stairs away
And walk into the nighttime
The sadness flows like water
And washes down the heartache
And washes down the heartache

My heart is full
My heart is wide
The saddest song to play
On the strings of my heart

The heat is on its own
The roof seems so inviting
A vantage point is gained
To watch the children fighting

So lead me to the harbor
And float me on the waves
Sink me in the ocean
To sleep in a sailor's grave
To sleep in a sailor's grave

My heart is full
My heart is wide
The saddest song to play
On the strings of my heart

My heart is full
My heart is wide, so wide
The saddest song to play
On the strings of my heart
