The Jesus And Mary Chain - Surfin' USA

If everybody had an ocean
Across the USA
Then everybody'd be surfin'
Like Californi-a
You'd seem 'em wearing their baggies
Huarache sandals too
Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' USA

You'd catch 'em surfin' at Del Mar
Texas County line
Take a trip to the Ocean
You can feel real fine
All over Manhattan
It's the only way

Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' USA

We'll all be planning that route
We're gonna take real soon
We're waxing down our surfboards
We can't wait till June
We'll all be gone for the summer
We're on safari to stay
Tell the teacher we're surfin'
Surfin' USA

Surf, baby, surf
Surf that USA
All the way to the USA
Surfin' USA

(originally recorded by The Beach Boys)

Cocteau Twins - Lazy Calm

Try to look with us,
My voice your candle

Glad to see you're
Clumsy watcher?
Why your light gave me
You told me all along

Try to look with us,
My voice your candle
Grieve your own way

The Mission - Within The Deepest Darkness (Fearful)

Loneliness can lead to acts of desperation and strange places

And emptiness can breed the aching fascination for strange faces

Solitude can be a toxic state of mind

Fester and decay like a cancer

Ponder and brood I don't mean to be unkind

But hiding away is not the answer

So reach out, hold out your arms

Don't be scared to stumble and fall

Reach out, hold out your arms

There's nothing to be fearful, fearful, fearful of at all

Fearful of at all

Fearful of at all

Fearful of at all

Your worst fears can lie in hopeless rejection and neglect

Cupid spears can fly and bring affection when you least expect

In anticipation of venial pleasure

Your imagination runs away

Desire and temptation in equal measure

Infatuation you can't deny

So reach out, hold out your arms

Don't be scared to stumble and fall

Reach out, hold out your arms

There's nothing to be fearful, fearful, fearful of at all

Fearful of at all

Fearful of at all

Fearful of at all

Inshallah (Inshallah)

Reach out, hold out your arms

Don't be scared to stumble and fall

Reach out, hold out your arms

Raise your head high and stand up tall

Reach out, hold out your arms

Don't be scared to stumble and fall

Reach out, hold out your arms

There's nothing to be fearful, fearful, fearful of at all

Fearful of at all

Fearful of at all

Fearful of at all

(There's nothing to be fearful)

(There's nothing to be fearful of at all)

Deftones - Rapture

Two different types
The same kind of thread
Different needle sewn on
Hey! Hey! Hey!

It's a rapture
But it's a different style
It's a rapture
The same kind of thread
Go ahead begin

Begin, you'll like it
Again it kills
And it feels like

One's inside of me
The other carves you out from me
Just two different tools, different designs
Can't choose one
With power

I know how you are now
You twist everything else around
Now you're fucking with me

It's a waste of my time

You said "I won't again, I swear to god!"
You said "I swear to god, I won't again!"
You said "I swear to god, I won't again!"
You said "I won't again, I swear to god!"

Instead, you just waste
Waste
Waste my time
Instead you just waste
Waste....my time

If one takes it away
The other one makes up for it
It's just two different views
Different designs
If I could choose one
Which one?

I know how you are now
You twist everything else around
Now you're fucking with me
You just waste, waste..

You begin
You begin, you like it
Begin, it kills
It feels...like.

You said "I swear to god, I won't again!"
You said "I won't again, I swear to god!"
You said "I swear to god, I won't again!"
You said "I won't again, I swear to god!"

Instead, you just waste
Waste
Waste my time
Instead you just waste
Waste
Waste my time

Two different types
The same kind of thread
Just different needles
A whole world, hey!

It's a rapture
But it's a different style
It's a rapture
Same kind of thread

Iron Maiden - The Red And The Black

The morals of life and the perils of death
Take the wrong way out, running out of breath
Meet my match in the afterlife
Suppress the demons that plague the night

A tortured mind is a safe place to go
But the truth lurks down in the dark below
Step inside my inquisitive mind
Are you scared at what you just might find?

See myself in the hall of mirrors
A different shape every step I take
A different mind every step of the line
But in the end they are all mine

Laughing sorrow inside your head
Can't get out, just a feeling of dread
I know this burden is a heavy load
A dark mistake, never ending road

The black jack king and the red queen clash
The artful dodger, he counts his stash
The joker's wild like an impish child
While Madame Fortune see what's inside

The good luck charm is overkill
The tired old soldier says fire at will
Planes overhead go search and destroy
The ones below human decoy

I need somebody to save me

Meanwhile we play the waiting game
The clock is struck, the horse is lame
And when we think that this is done
Chance your luck a four leafed one

You hedge your bets, the battle lost
To wait in vain and count the cost
The thin edged line
Between good and bad
And cast the luck, be happy and sad

I need somebody to save me

The red and the black
People don't want the truth
Look in their eyes and you send them away

The red and the black
Fate and hypocrisy
Burden's a heavy load there is no doubt

The red and the black
All out of luck again
How many chances can anyone have?

The red and the black
Treachery out to win
There in the wrong place and at the wrong time

I need somebody to save me

John Lennon - Instant Karma! (We All Shine On)

Instant Karma's gonna get you

Like the moon and the stars and the sun

The Mars Volta - Cassandra Geminni: Multiple Spouse Wounds

No there's no light
In the darkest of your furthest reaches
No there's no light
In the darkest of your furthest reaches
No there's no light
In the darkest of your furthest reaches
No there's no light
In the darkest of your furthest reaches

No there's no light
No there's no time
You ain't got nothing
Your life was just a lie

The National - All The Wine

I'm put together beautifully, big wet bottle in my fists, big wet rose in my teeth
I'm a perfect piece of ass like every Californian
So tall I take over the street with high-beams shining on my back
A wingspan unbelievable, I'm a festival, I'm a parade

And all the wine is all for me
And all the wine is all for me
And all the wine is all for me

I'm a birthday candle in a circle of black girls
God is on my side 'cause I'm the child bride
I'm so sorry but the motorcade will have to go around me this time
'Cause God is on my side and I'm the child bride

And all the wine is all for me
And all the wine is all for me
And all the wine is all for me

I carry the dollhouse safe on my shoulders
Through the black city, nightlights are on in the corners
And everyone's sleeping upstairs
All safe and sound

All safe and sound
I won't let the psychos around
All safe and sound
I won't let the psychos around

I'm in a state, I'm in a state
Nothing can touch us, my love
I'm in a state, I'm in a state
Nothing can touch us, my love

Megadeth - Peace Sells

What do you mean I don't believe in God?
Talk to him every day
What do you mean I don't support your system?
I go to court when I have to
What do you mean I can't get to work on time?
Got nothing better to do
What do you mean I don't pay my bills?
Why do you think I'm broke? Huh?

If there's a new way
I'll be the first in line
But, it better work this time

What do you mean I hurt your feelings?
I didn't know you had any feelings

What do you mean I ain't kind?
Just not your kind

What do you mean I couldn't be President Of the United States of America?

Tell me something, it's still 'We the people', right?

If there's a new way
I'll be the first in line
But, it better work this time

Can you put a price on peace?
Peace, peace sells, peace, peace sells
Peace sells, but who's buying?

Peace sells, but who's buying?
No, no, no, no, no!

Peace sells

Peace sells

Snow Patrol - You're All I Have

Train this chaos turn it into light
I've got to see you one last night
Before the lions take their share
Leave us in pieces scattered everywhere

Just give me a chance to hold on
Give me a chance to hold on
Give me a chance to hold on
Just give me something to hold onto

It's so clear now that you are all that I have
I have no fear cos you are all that I have
It's so clear now that you are all that I have
I have no fear cos you are all that I have

You're cinematic razor sharp
A welcome arrow through the heart
Under your skin feels like home
Electric shocks on aching bones

Give me a chance to hold on
Give me a chance to hold on
Give me a chance to hold on
Just give me something to hold onto

It's so clear now that you are all that I have
I have no fear cos you are all that I have
It's so clear now that you are all that I have
I have no fear cos you are all that I have

There is a darkness deep in you
A frightening magic I cling to

Give me a chance to hold on
Give me a chance to hold on
Give me a chance to hold on
Just give me something to hold onto

It's so clear now that you are all that I have
I have no fear now you are all that I have
It's so clear now that you are all that I have
I have no fear now you are all that I have

Arcade Fire - Afterlife

Afterlife
Oh my God, what an awful word
After all the breath and the dirt and the fires are burnt
And after all this time, and after all the ambulances go
And after all the hangers-on are done hanging on in the dead lights
Of the afterglow

I’ve gotta know…

Can we work it out?
If we scream and shout, ’till we work it out
Can we just work it out?
Scream and shout ’till we work it out
’till we work it out, ’till we work it out
’till we work it out, ’till we work it out

Afterlife
I think I saw what happens next
Oh, it was just a glimpse of you, like looking through a window
Or a shallow sea
Could you see me?
And after all this time
It’s like nothing else we used to know
And after all the hangers-on are done hanging on in the dead lights
Of the afterglow

I’ve gotta know…

Can we work it out?
If we scream and shout, ’till we work it out
Can we just work it out?
Scream and shout ’till we work it out?

But you say, “Oh, when love is gone
Where does it go?”
And you say,
“Oh, when love is gone
Where does it go?”
And where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?

And after this
Can it last another night?
After all the bad advice
That had nothing at all to do with life

I’ve gotta know...

Can we work it out?
If we scream and shout, ’till we work it out
Can we just work it out?
Scream and shout ’till we work it out?

But you say,
“Oh, when love is gone
Where does it go?”
And you say,
“Oh, when love is gone
Where does it go?”
We know it’s gone
But where did it go?
And where do we go?

Is this the afterlife?
It’s just an afterlife with you.
It’s just an afterlife.
It’s just an afterlife.
It’s just an afterlife with you.
It’s just an afterlife.
It’s just an afterlife.

Sex Pistols - Bodies

She was a girl from Birmingham
She just had an abortion
She was case of insanity
Her name was Pauline, she lived in a tree

She was a no one who killed her baby
She sent her letters from the country
She was an animal
She was a bloody disgrace

Body! I'm not an animal
Body! I'm not an animal

Dragged on a table in factory
Illegitimate place to be
In a packet in a lavatory
Die little baby screaming
Body screaming fucking bloody mess
Not an animal
It's an abortion

Body! I'm not animal
Mummy! I'm not an abortion

Throbbing squirm,
gurgling bloody mess
I'm not a discharge
I'm not a loss in protein
I'm not a throbbing squirm

Fuck this and fuck that
Fuck it all and fuck a fucking brat
She don't wanna baby that looks like that
I don't wanna baby that looks like that
Body, I'm not an animal
Body, an abortion

Body! I'm not an animal
Body! I'm not an animal
An animal
I'm not an animal.....
I'm not an abortion.....

Mummy! UGH!

Chelsea Wolfe - Sunstorm

I remember everything you said
Into my head right before you died
It was the weekend
It was November
I had a strange dream
It was my birthday
I learned about it from a neighbor
You had a bad trip
You crawled right down the hall
You took your fingers you found the cupboard
You twisted off the caps of every single bottle
It's like a waterfall
It's like a laser
It's like a miracle

It's a sharp razor
It was a Thursday
I ran right over
You were laying there twisted at the knees
I remember everything you said
I remember everything you said
I remember everything you said
I remember everything you said
I remember everything you said
I remember everything you said
I remember everything you said
I remember everything you said

Kveikur í bút spýtu (Lights a stump of wood)
Festir á klút höfuð (Ties a scarf around its head)

Morrissey - Certain People I Know

I take the cue from
Certain people I know
I use the cue
And then I
Hand it on to you

And when I swing it
So, it catches his eye...
(weren't you there ?
- you'd have died !)

I trust the views of
Certain people I know
They look at danger
And they
Laugh their heads off

Their clothes are imitation
George the 23rd
(don't you find this absurd?)

I'd hate to be like
Certain people I know
They break their necks
And can't afford to
Get them fixed

Ah, they'd sacrifice all
Of their principles for
Anything cashable
I do believe it's terrible

Oh, wo, wo
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Oh, wo, wo
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Oh, wo, wo
Ah, ah, ah, ah

Garbage - Special

I'm living without you
But I know all about you
I have run you down into the ground
Spread disease about you over town
I used to adore you
I couldn't control you
There was nothing that I wouldn't do
To keep myself around and close to you

Do you have an opinion?
A mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
But I've run out of patience
I couldn't care less

I,
I

Do you have an opinion?
A mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know

I used to amuse you
But I knew that I'd lose you
Now you're here and begging for a chance
But there's no way in hell I'd take you back

Do you have an opinion?
A mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
But I've run out of patience
I've run out of comments
I'm tired of the violence
I couldn't care less

I'm looking for a new
I'm looking for a new
I'm looking for a new
I'm looking for a new

You were the talk of the town
You were the talk of the town
You were the talk of the town
You were the talk of the town

I thought you were special
I thought you were special
I thought you were special
I thought you were special

Guns N' Roses - Don't Cry

If we could see tomorrow
What of your plans?
No one can live in sorrow
Ask all your friends.

Times that you took in stride
They're back in demand
I was the one who's washing
Blood off your hands

Don't you cry tonight
I still love you baby
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight

I know the things you wanted
They're not what you have
With all the people talking
It's driving you mad

If I was standing by you
How would you feel?
Knowing your loves decided
And all love is real

Yeah baby
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight

I thought I could live in your world
As years all went by
With all the voices I've heard
Something has died

And when your in need of someone
My heart won't deny you
So many seem so lonely
With no one left to cry to baby

And don't you cry tonight
And don't you cry tonight
And don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry tonight
Baby, maybe someday

Don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry tonight

New Order - Subculture

I like walking in the park
When it gets late at night
I move round in the dark
And leave when it gets light
I sit around by day
Tied up in chains so tight
These crazy words of mine
So wrong they could be right

What do I get out of this
I always try, I always miss
One of these days you'll go back to your home
You won't even notice that you are alone
One of these days when you sit by yourself
You'll realise you can't shaft without someone else
In the end you will submit
It's got to hurt you a little bit

I like talking in my sleep
When people work so hard
They need what they can keep
A choice that leaves them scarred
A view without a room
Unveils the truth so soon
And when the sun goes down
You've lost what you had found

What do I get out of this
I always try, I always miss
One of these days you'll go back to your home
You won't even notice that you are alone
One of these days when you sit by yourself
You'll realise you can't shaft without someone else
In the end you will submit
It's got to hurt you a little bit

What do I get out of this
I always try, I always miss
One of these days you'll go back to your home
You won't even notice that you are alone
One of these days when you sit by yourself
You'll realise you can't shaft without someone else
In the end you will submit
It's got to hurt you a little bit

What do I get out of this
I always try, I always miss
One of these days you'll go back to your home
You won't even notice that you are alone
One of these days when you sit by yourself
You'll realise you can't shaft without someone else
In the end you will submit
It's got to hurt you a little bit

What do I get out of this
I always try, I always miss
One of these days you'll go back to your home
You won't even notice that you are alone

Smashing Pumpkins - Dross

You say I'm beautiful
Well I can't help it
You say I'm empty
We all know I'm full of shit

Get out, get out
You've lost control
Get out, get out
You're growing cold
Can anyone, anyone be true?
Does anyone, anyone want to be you?

You say I'm tragic
I say it's magic, kid
You say I'm lucky
We all know it's in the cards

Get out, get out
Get out, get out
You've lost control
Can anyone, anyone be true?
Does anyone, anyone want to be you?
Do they want to be you?
Bring it, Jimmy

Floating
Knocked out, sky high, floating
Flat out, deadly truth
Does anyone want to be you?
Can anyone, anyone be true?
Does anyone, anyone want to be you?
Do they want to be you?

dEUS - Secret Hell

Hey I know there's more to this...

But I bought you a newspaper every Sunday

At the end just a huge pile of yellowed

Sunday telegraphs on the windowpane

We sang Three Blind Mice together:

"Three blind mice, three blind mice

Who went in across the farmer's house.."

You know well

Just never tell

If someone's got a secret hell

Now you

You should be breakin' me

Sometimes I lose my head

I don't know nothing

You should be breaking me

Instead you let me hide behind your back

What goes around

Will come back down

Can someone get it out of town

I'm in this state

Kinda late

But tell me, don't it look just great?

You

You should be haunting me

Some drift get twisted before I even touch 'em

You should be scaring me

But don't I only scare myself?

So don't I only scare myself?

So don't I only scare myself?

So don't I only scare myself?

So don't I only scare myself?

So don't I only scare myself?

Sonic Youth - Fire Engine Dream

James - Dr Hellier

Dr Hellier says that my body's Afghanistan
And we can't let the Taliban
Take over and breed
He says there's only one answer
In a nuclear age, man
They might spread to Pakistan
So we have to proceed

He enters my bloodstream
With a crew in a capsule
He takes the wheel
With hands that were made to heal

As he approaches the death star
We lose visual contact
And that's when my temple
Turned into a wasteland
There was shouting and shooting
When the capsule was taken
His last words as he went down
Press the button

He slipped my fingers from death's grip
Escaped my body on a passenger ship
Watched T-cells playing in the bow-waves
He lives for the ones that died
Don't know how he survives
Just know he owes it to them to be happy

The Mission - Dying Room

My mommy don't want me, daddy don't want me too
Nobody wants me, left me in the dying room

I ain't seen sunshine, never felt the rain
Never tasted joy, but I know pain

So please don't leave me, in this god forsaken hole
Please believe me, don't wanna die here alone

You stand accused, wish I'd never been born
Feel so abused, no one to mourn, the dying room

My mommy don't love me, daddy don't love me too
Nobody loves me, dying in the dying room

You turn away, and you shield your eyes
Feel so betrayed, feel so despised, in the dying room

Ian McCulloch - Damnation

Got my suit of armor on
Trynna find some kind of meaning
A peg to hang a hope upon
Something real to stop me dreaming
I'm thinking
I'm thinking
And thinking starts me feeling

Damn damnation
Damn damn nation
Damn damnation
Damn damn nation

Snowflakes on the oven top
Drumbeats in the wild blue yonder
Didn't hear the penny drop
Shenendoah I'm doomed to wonder
I'm hoping
I'm hoping
No more no longer

Damn damnation
Damn damn nation
Damn damnation
Damn damn nation

Got my ticket to the game
Bullets in a darkened chamber
Every one a different frame
Each an old familiar danger
I'm changing
I'm changing
No more the stranger

Damn damnation
Damn damn nation
Damn damnation
Damn damn nation
Damn damn
Nation

Gliss - 29 Acts Of Love

Shoot down
Shoot out the lights
I'm not going home
Alone tonight
I'm not going alone
Alone I'm not tonight

Bury my face in my hands
Repetition starting again and again
I'm licking my wounds I taste the salt
Telling everybody it's not my fault

Look out world here it is
Twenty nine hearts I meant to kiss
Ready or not I think it was
Twenty nine hearts melting the sun
Look out girl here it is
Twenty nine feverish acts I kiss
Ready or not here it comes
It's twenty nine
Twenty nine acts of love

Who knows
I'm walkin'
Alone in the spotlight
I'm holding my hand out for you
The hex of the ex
The hex of the ex

Bury my face in my hands
Repetition starting again to dance
I'm licking my wounds I taste the salt
I'm telling my body it's not my fault

Look out world here it is
Twenty nine hearts I meant to kiss
Ready or not I think it was
Twenty nine hearts melting the sun
Look out girl here it is
Twenty nine feverish acts I kiss
Ready or not here it comes
It's twenty nine
Twenty nine acts of love

Acts of love
It's just twenty nine acts of love
Alone I'm not tonight
The hex of ex
