The Temper Trap - Lost

Fade away lets get lost
You don't have to worry baby
Let's get lost
Slip away it's just us
You don't have to worry baby
Let's get lost

And when the well is drying up
To the bones
To the very last drop
There's no one left
That's on our side

Nothing in the world
Can tear us apart
Nothing in the world
Can tear us apart
When it all comes crashing down
And our lives
Are buried underground
Still nothing in the world
Can tear us apart

Break away let's get lost
Something's in me calling lately
I hear it loud
So give tonight one more try
Because nothing lasts forever baby
So let's get lost

And when the streets
Are emptied out
We lose our way
Walking into the dark
The cross we bear
Is all we've got

Nothing in the world
Can tear us apart
Nothing in the world
Can tear us apart
When it all comes crashing down
And our lives
Are buried underground
Still nothing in the world
Can tear us apart

Times can get lonely
Out in the cold
As long as you're near me
I need you to know

Tear us apart
Tear us apart
Nothing in the world
Can tear us apart
Nothing in the world
Can tear us apart
When it all comes crashing down
And our lives
Are buried underground
Still nothing in the world
Can tear us apart

Fade away let's get lost
You don't have to worry baby
Let's get lost
Let's get lost

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Goodbye Angels

Suicide a month before I met you
Deep regrets, I never could forget you
Somehow you made your way to my decade
Ayo ayo ayo ayo my girl

In the sun, I see you with your guard down
Number one, you’re moving to a hard town
Do not dismiss the promise that you made me
Ayo ayo ayo ayo, my time

Overkill you took another red pill
On the sheet is everything that you spilled
We are the ones you want to know right now
Ayo ayo ayo ayo, black light

Come again to murder your report card
Just a friend to kiss you in the court yard
You are the one I want to be stuck with
Ayo ayo ayo ayo big fight

Favor Some
Way too young
Slave to none
Way too young

Say goodbye my love
I can see it in your soul
Say goodbye my love
Thought that I could make you whole
Let your lover sail
Death was made to fail

Sticky fingers find the way to take her
Crumple up another piece of paper
I know your days are numbered when it comes to
Ayo ayo ayo ayo this life

Slip away into the solar system
Straighter rays, you find a way to twist them
Some like it dark and now I know where to
Ayo ayo ayo ayo find you

Serpentine, I think she was an Aussie
Bloody hell, a common kamikaze
Give up the ghost before you go under
Ayo ayo ayo ayo wonder

Kicking hard and looking for a rescue
Watch me starve was never to impress you

I would have killed the part of me to have you
Ayo ayo ayo ayo story

Say goodbye my love
I can see it in your soul
Say goodbye my love
Thought that I could make you whole
Let your lover sail
Death was made to fail

Babe I know love is a funny thing
Born to die in the eternal spring

Your flickering is more than just a small flame
Welcome to the party, it’s a ball game
Pick up the stick it’s time to get hit with
Ayo ayo ayo ayo my bat

Suicide is never going to save you
When I cried, it was because I came too
You are the one I want to know right now
Ayo ayo ayo ayo kiss this

Beck - Fuckin With My Head (Mountain Dew Rock)

I ain't got no inclination
Give away my sweet sensation
Sleeping' in an old tool shed
Scumbag crying' on his pillow

Ooh...
When you wanna be with me then we will see
Who's fuckin' with my head
Hey hey hey hey
Fuckin' with my head
Hey hey hey hey

Found myself in New Orleans
With a scarecrow in my jeans
Feed my forehead through the ceiling'
Drank my coffee with a hubcap
Yeah

Ooh...
When you want to be with me then we will see
Who's fuckin' with my head
No no no no
Fuckin' with my head
Hey hey hey hey

Devil's got your pantyhose on his head
Oh yeah, and he's robbing' me
But all I got's is cornbread
Well, you turn my body into a crutch
And now I'm limping' all over
When I feel your touch
Oh yeah

Ooh...
Ooh...

Put on my jack-eyed boots
Running' wild on the bayou
Now I'm talking' on a walkie-talkie
Credit card glued to my hand
Feels good

Ooh...
When you wanna be with me then we will see
Who's fuckin' with my head
Hey hey hey hey
No no no no
Fuckin' with my head
Make me feel like an asshole
I ain't got no soul
I ain't got no soul
No no no no
No no no no
No no no no
No no no no

The Verve - Velvet Morning

Yes
It's been long
And yes
I still feel strong
Into the half light
Another velvet morning for me, yeah

Time
Stands still
As you take
Your last pill
Into the half light
Another velvet morning for me

And now I'm trying to tell you
About my life
And my tongue is twisted
And more dead than alive
And my feelings
They've always been betrayed
And I was born a little damaged man
And look what they paid

I said, don't you find
That it's lonely to?

Your alone?
And life is a game
You've tried
And life is a game
You're tired

Yes
I'm coming down
Your beauty is
A colour surround
Into the half light
Another velvet morning for me

And now I'm trying to tell you
About my life
And my tongue is twisted
And more dead than alive
And my feelings
My feelings, they've been betrayed
And I was born a little damaged man
And look what they made

He said, don't you find
That it's lonely the?
You walked in alone
And life is a game
You've tried
And life is a game
You're tired
And life is a game
You've tried

Suede - Pantomime Horse

I was born as a pantomine horse
ugly as the sun when he falls to the floor
I was cut from the wreckage one day
this is what I get for being that way

Well did you ever, did you ever go round with them?
Well did you ever, did you ever go round the bend?

I was conned by a circus hand
Tragic as the son of a superman
"I would die for the stars" she said
This is what I get for my beautiful head

Well did you ever, did you ever go round with them?
well did you ever, did you ever go round the bend?

...ever tired it that way, have you ever tried it that way?

Depeche Mode - Lie To Me

Come on and lay with me
Come on and lie to me
Tell me you love me
Say I'm the only one

Experiences have a lasting impression
But words once spoken
Don't mean a lot now
Belief is the way
The way of the innocent
And when I say innocent
I should say naive
So lie to me
But do it with sincerity
Make me listen
Just for a minute
Make me think
There's some truth in it

Promises made for convenience
Aren't necessarily
What we need
Truth is a word
That's lost its meaning
The truth has become
Merely half-truth
So lie to me
Like they do it in the factory
Make me think
That at the end of the day
Some great reward
Will be coming my way

Led Zeppelin - Fool In The Rain

Well there's a light in your eye that keeps shining
Like a star that can't wait for the night
I hate to think I've been blinded baby
Why can't I see you tonight?

And the warmth of your smile starts a-burnin'
And the thrill of your touch gives me fright
And I'm shaking so much, really yearning
Why don't you show up, make it all right?
Yeah, it's all right.

And if you promised you'd love so completely
and you said you would always be true
You swore that you would never leave me, baby:
What ever happened to you?

And you thought it was only in movies
As you wish all your dreams would come true
It ain't the first time believe me, baby
I'm standin here feeling blue
Yeah I'm blue

Now I will stand in the rain on the corner
I'll watch the people go shuffling downtown
Another ten minutes no longer
And then I'm turning around

The clock on the wall's moving slower
My heart it sinks to the ground
And the storm that I thought would blow over
Clouds the light of the love that I found

Now my body is starting to quiver
And the palms of my hands getting wet
I've got no reason to doubt you baby,
It's all a terrible mess

I'll run in the rain till I'm breathless
When I'm breathless I'll run till I drop, hey
The thoughts of a fool's kind of careless
I'm just a fool waiting on the wrong block, oh yeah
Light of the love that I found...

Dead Can Dance - Saltarello

Paradise Lost - Faith Divide Us - Death Unite Us

Refrain from the way we were
Slain the invincible
Changed are the the ways of man
Fortitude to face the path

Vanquish the pain
Don’t want to see it fail

(Faith divides us, death unites us)
Vanquish the pain
Don’t want to seek despair

(Faith divides us, death unites us)

Tears for a hopeless case
Outside is still so vague
Frayed the landscapes of old
Cleared the indelible

Cannot sleep through darkened skies
Cannot dream until its over

Madness - Night Boat To Cairo

It's just gone noon
Half past monsoon
On the banks of the river Nile
Here comes the boat
Only half-afloat
Oarsman grins a toothless smile
Only just one more
To this desolate shore
Last boat along the river Nile
Doesn't seem to care
No more wind in his hair
As he reaches his last half mile
The oar snaps in his hand
Before he reaches dry land
But the sound doesn't deafen his smile
Just pokes at wet sand
With an oar in his hand
Floats off down the river Nile
Floats off down the river Nile

(All aboard, night boat to Cairo!)

(Night boat to Cairo!)

HIM - Resurrection

There was a time
When I could breath my life in you
One by one
Your pale fingers started to move
And I touched your face
And all life was erased
You smiled like an angel
(Fallen from grace)

We've been slaves to this love
From the moment we touched
And keep begging for more
Of this resurrection

We've been slaves to this love
From the moment we touched
And keep begging for more
Of this resurrection

You kissed my lips
With those once cold fingertips
You reached out for me
And oh how you missed
You touched my face
And all life was erased
You smiled like an angel
(Fallen from grace)

We've been slaves to this love
From the moment we touched
And keep begging for more
Of this resurrection

We've been slaves to this love
From the moment we touched
And keep begging for more
Of this resurrection

Toy Dolls - Florence Is Deaf (But There's No Need to Shout)

...

Beck - Country Down

Oh country down
Where I found my proving ground
All along the floodline
Wheels are turning around
The hills roll out like centuries
Pass by without a sound
Just a mile outside of town

Down-river bound
Where the lemon-tea-sky fell down
A plot against your will
Is furrowed into your brow
Against your better judgment
It's all behind you now
Just a mile outside of town

What's the use
Of being found?
You can lose yourself
In some good ground
In the weeds hiding
Down the river right next door
There's no frame around your picture
Just a view through my back door

Time evermore
You just found what you're looking for
A tiger rose
Growing through your prison door
Reaching for sunlight
Can't see it anymore
Just a mile from my back door

You could wake up on a lifeboat 'neath the sun
On a ladder up to the sky
You're standing on the lowest rung
Holding a lifeline
Using my best defense
Running in the undertow
I couldn't fight against

Oh lay me down
Where we found my proving ground
All along the floodline
Waves are turning around
The hills roll out like centuries
Pass by without a sound
Just a mile outside of town

Soundgarden - Fell On Black Days

Whatsoever I've feared has
Come to life
Whatsoever I've fought off
Became my life
Just when everyday
Seemed to greet
Me with a smile
Sunspots have faded
And now I'm doing time
Cause I fell on
Black days

Whomsoever I've cured
I've sickened now
Whomsoever I've cradled
I've put you down
I'm a search light soul
They say but I can't
See it in the night
I'm only faking
When I get it right
Cause I fell on
Black days
How would I know
That this could be my fate

So what you wanted to
See good has made you blind
And what you wanted to
Be yours has made it
Mine
So don't you lock up
Something that you
Wanted to see fly
Hands are for shaking
No not tying

I sure don't
Mind a change
But I fell on black
Days
How would I know
That this could be
My fate

Anna Calvi - First We Kiss

My heart beats against the wardrobe
I hear the closing door
Beats against the window
Tell me how long, tell me how long

Feel it come from nowhere
Taking over me
Feel it come from nowhere
Tell me why, tell me why

First we'll kiss
Then you will lock the door, my dear
A perfect kiss
Just to remind what's between us
Tonight is here

Feel it come from nowhere
Taking over me
Feel it come from nowhere
Tell me why, tell me why

First we'll kiss
Then you will lock the door, my dear
A perfect kiss
Just to remind what's between us tonight
What's between us tonight, tonight

Beats against the wardrobe
As I hear the closing door
Our face against the window
Our lips touch no more

And suddenly from up here
Everything's clear
The love we had between us tonight
Is here

The White Stripes - Hypnotize

I want to hypnotize you baby
On the telephone
So many times I called your house
Just to hear the tone
And though I knew you were't home
I didn't mind so much 'cause I'm so alone
I want to hypnotize you baby
On the telephone

I want to spin my little watch
Right before your eyes
You're the kind of girl a guy like me
Could hypnotize
And if this comes as a surprise
Just think of all those guys
Who would tell you lies
I want to spin my little watch
Right before your eyes

I want to hold your little hand
If I can be so bold
And be your right hand man
'til your hands get old
And then when all the feeling's gone
Just decide if you want to keep holding on
I want to hold your little hand
If I can be so bold
If I can be so bold
If I can be so bold

Get involved with the jam, don't be a prick,
Hot chick, be a pig

Skunk Anansie - Infidelity (Only You)

Lost infidelity
We've never said a word
So black, and white you see
It's all the lies we've heard

In my mind nothing makes sense
I'm nothing you can't have
Cracked up to disagree
It's all we've ever had

You, only you, only you
Only you can't be the one
Only you, only you
Only you can't be the one

Your secret smile so quaint
In memories foretold
Laughing so viciously
Your conscience has been sold

In my face there's no more joy
I'm all that I should be, be, be
Cracked infidelity
That's all you are too me

You, only you, only you
Only you can't be the one
Only you, only you
Only you can't be the one
Be the one
Be the one
Be the one
Oh

Only you can't be the one

Echo & The Bunnymen - Nothing Lasts Forever

I want it now
I want it now
Not the promises of what tomorrow brings
I need to live in dreams today
I'm tired of the song that sorrow sings

And I want more than I can get
Just trying to, trying to, trying to forget

I'd walk to you through rings of fire
And never let you know the way I feel
Under skin is where I hide
The love that always gets me on my knees

And I want more than I can get
Just trying to, trying to, trying to forget

Nothing ever lasts forever
Nothing ever lasts forever
Nothing ever lasts forever
Nothing ever lasts forever

I want it now
I want it now
Don't tell me that my ship is coming in
Nothing comes to those who wait
Time's running out the door you're running in

So, I want more than I can get
Just trying to, trying to, trying to forget

Nothing ever lasts forever
Nothing ever lasts forever
Nothing ever lasts forever
Nothing ever lasts forever

Are coming to you
All the shadows and the pain
Are coming to you
All the shadows and the pain

Garbage - Even Though Our Love Is Doomed

I'm getting desperate
Desperate for a revolution
Some kind of spark
Some kind of connection
In these dangerous days
Come a little bit closer
I need to understand

Why we kill the things we love the most
Kill the things we love
Kill the things we love the most
Why we kill the things we love the most
Kill the things we love
Kill the things we love the most
But they don't burn like we do
They don't burn like we do

And even though our love is doomed
And even though we're all messed up
We're still waiting for tomorrow
We're still aching for tomorrow
And even though our love is cruel
And even though our stars are crossed
You're the only thing worth fighting for
You're the only thing worth dying for

Don't wanna be dead alive
Don't wanna be dull to extinction
Don't wanna be lost in dreams
Don't wanna be caught sleepwalking
Maybe I should break the chain
Maybe I should break the connection
Such strange little birds
Devoured by our obsessions

Can you love me for what I've become
Love me for what I
Said that I would not become
Can you love me for what I've become
Love me for what I
Said that I would not become
Cause they don't burn like I do
They don't burn like I do

And even though our love is cruel
And even though our stars are crossed
We're still waiting for tomorrow
We're still aching for tomorrow
And even though our love is doomed
And even though we're all messed up
You're the only thing worth fighting for
You're the only thing worth dying for

And even though our love is doomed
Even though our love is doomed
Even though our love is doomed
Even though our love is doomed
Even though our love is doomed
Even though our love is doomed
Even though our love is doomed
You're the only thing worth fighting for
You're the only thing worth dying for

The Kills - Satellite

Lost her behind the station
Lost her behind the moon
Operator, operator, dial her back
Operator put me through
Ahuuuh, Satellite gave up the ghost too soon
Rising on the thermals
She's calling in and out the blue
Ahuuuh, carried her off on a silver spoon
I loved her too long, don't take her too
Oooohhh ohhhhhhh

Oh how he crossed us on that fate your path in my own satellite
What a mess a little time makes to us when time and place collide
Operator, operator, dial her back
Operator, operator, don't take her too.
I loved her too her long, don't love her too
Operator, operator, dial her back
Operator, operator, don't take her too
I love her too her long, don't love her too, don't love her too
Oooohhh ohhhhhhh...

Cocteau Twins - Tranquil Eye

...

The National - Mistaken For Strangers

You have to do it running but you do everything that they ask you to
'Cause you don't mind seeing yourself in a picture
As long as you look far away
As long as you look removed

Showered and blue-blazered
Fill yourself with quarters
Showered and blue-blazered
Fill yourself with quarters

You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends
When you pass them at night under the silvery, silvery Citibank lights
Arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes glazing under
Oh, you wouldn't want an angel watching over, surprise, surprise, they wouldn't wanna watch
Another uninnocent, elegant fall into the unmagnificent lives of adults

Make up something to believe in your heart of hearts
So you have something to wear on your sleeve of sleeves
So you swear you just saw a feathery woman
Carry a blindfolded man through the trees

Showered and blue-blazered
Fill yourself with quarters
Showered and blue-blazered
Fill yourself with quarters

You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends
When you pass them at night under the silvery, silvery Citibank lights
Arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes glazing under
Oh, you wouldn't want an angel watching over, surprise, surprise, they wouldn't wanna watch
Another uninnocent, elegant fall into the unmagnificent lives of adults

You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends
When you pass them at night under the silvery, silvery Citibank lights
Arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes glazing under
Oh, you wouldn't want an angel watching over, surprise, surprise, they wouldn't wanna watch
Another uninnocent, elegant fall into the unmagnificent lives of adults

A Perfect Circle - Orestes

Metaphor for a missing moment
Pull me into your perfect circle

One womb
One shape
One resolve

Liberate this will
To release us all

Gotta cut away, clear away
Snip away and sever this
Umbilical residue that's
Keeping me from killing you

And from pulling you down with me in here
I can almost hear you scream

Give me
One more medicated peaceful moment
One more medicated peaceful moment

And I don't wanna feel this overwhelming
Hostility
Because I don't wanna feel this overwhelming
Hostility

Gotta cut away
Clear away
Snip away and sever this
Umbilical residue
Gotta cut away
Clear away
Snip away and sever this
Umbilical residue that's
Keeping me from killing you
Keeping me from killing you

Placebo - Centrefolds

Come on Balthazar I refuse to let you die
Come on fallen star I refuse to let you die
'Cause that's wrong and I've been waiting far too long
It's wrong I've been waiting far too long
For you to be... be... be... be... be mine
For you to be mine... be mine... for you to be mine
And it's wrong, I've been waiting far too long
It's wrong, I've been waiting far too long
For you to be... be... be... be

All the centrefolds that you can't afford
They've long since waved their last good-byes
All the centrefolds that you can't afford
You've long since faded from their eyes
So be... be mine
So be... be mine

Peter Murphy - I Spit Roses

The captain is sea
In the moonlight the same
The ship all himself
Rose Spitter, the name
A high mutiny
Submerged down and under
Shake-shack left you in shock
Shed poison with a lover's lock
All hands wound and fraught
Blow the dark that we thought

Oo-oh I spit roses
Oo-oh I spit

Shake-shack, ring the bell
Pretty, petty, they shall swell
Swell kid-like, kid-like squeak
Was it a trick or was it treat?

Oo-oh I spit roses
Oo-oh I spit

The captain is sea
In the moonlight the same
Reflex us and him
He blurts karma, no sin
The tall one astute
The ginger all things
To all men he's kind
A split heart from mind
I spit roses and thank
Oh, the boat we thought sank

Oo-oh I spit roses
Oo-oh I spit roses
Oo-oh I spit roses
Oo-oh I spit roses
Oo-oh I spit roses
Oo-oh I spit roses
Roses
I spit roses
I spit roses (Wall to wall, pillar to post)
(I'm back at the task, the task, that I love most)
Roses (Wall to wall, pillar to post)
(I'm back at the task, the task, that I love most)
Roses (I'm back at the task, the task that I love most)

The Strokes - Automatic Stop

So many fish there in the sea
I wanted you, you wanted me
That's just a phase, it's got to pass
I was a train moving too fast

Didn't understand what to see
Yeah, then I got a different view
It's you... no.

Wait, I'm gonna give it a break.
I'm not your friend,
I never was.
I said wait, I'm gonna give it a break.
I'm not your friend,
I never was.

So many fish there in the sea
She wanted him, he wanted me
That's just a phase, it's got to pass
I was a train moving too fast

Yeah, I know you warned me
But this is too important
Now I got a different view
It's you...

Why can't you wait?
I'm gonna give it a break
I'm not your friend,
I never was
I said wait, I'm gonna give it a break
I'm not your friend,
I never was.
