U2 - When I Look At The World

When you look at the world
What is it that you see?
People find all kinds of things
That bring them to their knees
I see an expression
So clear and so true
That it changes the atmosphere
When you walk into the room

So I try to be like you
Try to feel it like you do
But without you it's no use
I can't see what you see
When I look at the world

When the night is someone elses
And you're trying to get some sleep
When your thoughts are too expensive
To ever want to keep
When there's all kinds of chaos
And everyone is walking lame
You don't even blink now, do you
Or even look away

So I try to be like you
Try to feel it like you do
But without you it's no use
I can't see what you see
When I look at the world

I can't wait any longer
I can't wait till I'm stronger
Can't wait any longer
To see what you see
When I look at the world

I'm in the waiting room
Can't see for the smoke
I think of you and your holy book
While the rest of us choke

Tell me, tell me, what do you see?
Tell me, tell me, what's wrong with me

White Lies - Come Down

I felt loved last night for the first time in a long time
It feels like coming home to stay
Like falling in the sea when it's too hot in the sun
But made things so much worse today

I know you said you'll miss me
But I know that you won't
Because time is like a wave
That washes all the pain away
When you come down

I know I said I'll see you
When it gets to New Year
But now that all the rain's stopped falling
All I think is getting out of here

I felt loved last night for the first time in a long time
It feels like I never went away
Like drifting back to sleep
When I'm aching and I'm tired
But made me feel so much worse today

I know you said you'll miss me
But I know that you won't
Because time is like a wave
That washes all the pain away
When you come down

I know I said I'll see you
When it gets to New Year
But now that all the rain's stopped falling
All I think is getting out of here

I know I'de be welcome but tell me how far
Ceremonial knocks
Sounds the gaps in my heartbeat
And I'll never be good enough for you or for me
I've buried my pride
I've buried my key

I know I'de be welcome but tell me how far
Ceremonial knocks
Sounds the gaps in my heartbeat
And I'll never be good enough for you or for me
I've buried my pride
I've buried my key

I know you said you'll miss me
But I know that you won't
Because time is like a wave
That washes all the pain away
When you come down

I know I said I'll see you
When it gets to New Year
But now that all the rain's stopped falling
All I think is getting out of here

The Doors - Unhappy Girl

Unhappy girl
Left all alone
Playing solitaire
Playing warden to your soul
You are locked in a prison
Of your own devise
And you can't believe
What it does to me
To see you
Crying

Unhappy girl
Tear your web away
Saw thru all your bars
Melt your cell today
You are caught in a prison
Of your own devise

Unhappy girl
Fly fast away
Don't miss your chance
To swim in mystery
You are dying in a prison
Of your own device

Megadeth - Built For War

Built for war, what do you think your fists are for? Built for war!

Listen, I didn't start this - believe me, I will finish it...
You called down the thunder - too late now there's no way out...
Nothing is gonna stop me - until then better watch your back...

Built for war, what do you think your fists are for? Built for war!

There is no retreating - I will cut you down to size...
You will beg for mercy - a bad seed, you're as good as dead...
Yield to new dimension - Hell's coming, better say your prayers...

Built for war, what do you think your fists are for? Built for war!
Built for war, are you looking at me, you want some more?
What do you think your fists are for?

One day you will face me - and see the terror trapped inside...
Final retribution - torture and pure punishment...
Vengeance running so deep - a dungeon of agony awaits...
Fear not as death surrounds you - Bitch all you want, but here it comes...

Built for war, what do you think your fists are for? Built for war!
Built for war, are you looking at me, you want some more?
What do you think your fists are for?

The Clash - Something About England

Emma Ruth Rundle - Fever Dreams

Fear, a feeling, is it real? So nostalgic too, it just puts the dark on you
another sand down, the hands of oil are peeling,
and from the sun, restraint to just throw the shade on you
another cell now is a chance to, is attempt to, and is trying to recall
but you’re never going to touch me
and if I ever manage to get out, it’s all this waking life - just drags me down

a life spent uneasy, in pieces always in pieces here
a life rent completely, release me away from fever dreams

Fear, a friend, without context it’s reeling - you’re never going to pay enough to do right
the veil is a thread and now it’s raising like the tension of a string that just plays the note high
and if I ever really make it out it’s all this waking world that drags me down

a life spent uneasy, in pieces, always in pieces here
a life left - release me away from fever dreams

you're sleeping in the glass room, in the glass house- is a memory now
is a memory to me
don’t you know this shift is real?
you move to lay your body down, the hands of oil are like some small machines
never knowing how to feel, pushing air inside your tired mind and sleeping it
trapped in fever dreams

a life spent uneasy, in pieces, always in pieces here
a life rent out completely, release me away from fever dreams

Chelsea Wolfe - Reins

Hold the reins inside
Hold it inside
These horses they pull me
These horses they pull me
These tires they pull me
These winds they push me
These wires they pull me
These wires they pull me
To you
These horses they pull me
These horses they pull me
These tires they pull me
On the unforgiving roads that lead to you
These winds these winds they push me
These wires these wires they pull me
These wires these wires they pull me
To you
And nobody can stop me now

Sharon Van Etten - Jupiter 4

Our love's for real
How'd it take a long, long time
To let us feel?
Try to relate in my state
And the aura around me says
My love is for real

Touching your face
How'd it take a long, long time
To be here?
Turning the wheel on my street
My heart still skips a beat
It's echoing, echoing, echoing, echoing, echoing, echoing

Baby, baby, baby
I've been searching for you
I want to be in love
Baby, baby, baby
I've been waiting, waiting, waiting my whole life
For someone like you
It's true that everyone would like to have met
A love so real
A love so real

Baby, baby, baby
I've been searching for you
I want to be in love
Baby, baby, baby
I've been waiting, waiting, waiting my whole life
For someone like you
It's true that everyone would like to have met
A love so real
A love so real
A love so real
A love so real

Death Cult - Christians

To cherish to have to hold awaits with open arms
The jungle children tiger stripes hearts from Saigon the beat goes on

The children stripped of all sit and wait what are they waiting for?
Hope where their green grass grows shit on from up high this parody pisses up the wall

To cherish the sons and daughters we trusted those open arms
The jungle children animal freedom radio the beat goes on

Kill the children
Kill the children
Kill the children
Kill the children

U2 - Things To Make And Do

...

The Clash - Cool Under Heat

Rebels on the corner
Rebels to the core
Got a million dollar question
What is livin' for?

Hey! Man can scratch a livin'
In a fat man's city class
The teacher is survival
But soon the present will be the past

So!
Be cool under heat
Be cool under heat
Be cool on the street
Be cool under heat

When you're rockin' down
On a cold hard night
Pitiless eyes of the cityless souls
Narrow in the lights

Sorrow upon sorrow
Go ganging up in your head
You can leave it till tomorrow
If you can balance on the edge

Hey!
Be cool under heat
Be cool under heat
Be cool on the street
Be cool under heat

When the baby and you got to fight
Go cool your love in the rain
When the match refuses to strike
Show that you really are in pain

I'm giving you a warning
Gonna burn those blue suede shoes
Swagger in the mornin'
Prints up front page news

Be cool under heat
Be cool under heat
Be cool on the street
Be cool under heat

Janis Joplin - Little Girl Blue

Sit there, hmm, count your fingers.
What else, what else is there to do?
Oh and I know how you feel,
I know you feel that you're through.
Oh wah wah ah sit there, hmm, count,
Ah, count your little fingers,
My unhappy oh little girl, little girl blue, yeah.

Oh sit there, oh count those raindrops
Oh, feel 'em falling down, oh honey all around you.
Honey don't you know it's time,
I feel it's time,
Somebody told you 'cause you got to know
That all you ever gonna have to count on
Or gonna wanna lean on
It's gonna feel just like those raindrops do
When they're falling down, honey, all around you.
Oh, I know you're unhappy.

Oh sit there, ah go on, go on
And count your fingers.
I don't know what else, what else
Honey have you got to do.
And I know how you feel,
And I know you ain't got no reason to go on
And I know you feel that you must be through.
Oh honey, go on and sit right back down,
I want you to count, oh count your fingers,
Ah my unhappy, my unlucky
And my little, oh, girl blue.
I know you're unhappy,
Ooh ah, honey I know,
Baby I know just how you feel.

Snow Patrol - If There's a Rocket Tie Me To It

Two weeks late like a surplus reprieve
I found a hair the length of yours on my sleeve
I wound it round and round my finger so tight
It turned to purple and a pulse formed inside

And I knew the beat 'cause it matched your own beat
I still remember it from our chest to chest and feet to feet
The easy silence then was a sweet relief to this hush
Of ovens, aeroplanes and distant car horns

A fire a fire, you can only take what you can carry
A pulse your pulse, it's the only thing I can remember
I break you don't, I was always set to self destruct though
The fire the fire, it cracks and barks like primal music

I said I knew the beat 'cause it matched your own beat
It's become my engine my own source of heat
The sea between us only amplifies the sound waves
Every hum and echo and crash paints my cave

A fire a fire, you can only take what you can carry
A pulse your pulse, it's the only thing I can remember
I break you don't, I was always set to self destruct though
The fire the fire, it cracks and barks like primal music

A fire a fire, you can only take what you can carry
A pulse your pulse, it's the only thing I can remember
I break you don't, I was always set to self destruct though
The fire the fire, it cracks and barks like primal music

Led Zeppelin - Night Flight

I received a message from my brother across the water
He sat laughin' as he wrote the end's in sight
So I said goodbye to all my friends
And packed my hopes inside a matchbox
'Cause I know it's time to fly

Come on, meet me in the morning, Meet me in the middle of the night
The morning light is comin', don't it make you wanna go and feel alright

I just jumped a train that never stops,
So now somehow I'll know I never finished payin' for my ride
Just n' someone pushed a gun into my hand
Tell me I'm the type of man to fight the fight that I'll require

Come on, meet me in the morning, Meet me in the middle of the night
The morning light is comin', don't it make you wanna go and feel alright

Oh, mama, well I think it's time I'm leavin'
Nothin' here to make me stay
Whoa, mama, well it must be time I'm goin'
They're knockin' down them doors
They're tryin' to take me away

Please Mr. Brakeman, won't you ring your bell. And ring loud and clear
Please Mr. Fireman, won't you ring your bell
Tell the people they got to fly away from here

I once saw a picture of a lady with a baby
Southern lady, had a very, very special smile
We are in the middle of a change in destination
When the train stops, all together we will smile
Oh, meet me in the morning.
Won't you meet me in the middle of the night, night, night
Everybody know the mornin' time is comin'
Don't it make you wanna feel alright. Ah, ah, yeah
Make me feel alright. Fly now, baby
Get to fly, yeah. Fly now, baby

Echo & The Bunnymen - Market Town

Come on down to market town
Come on down to market
Come and watch the sun go down
Come and watch the darkness

Come on down to market
Come on down to market
Come and ride the mag around
Ride the magic carpet
Come and find what's underground
Finish what we started
Finish what we started
Come on down to market

No survivors, no survivors
No survivors would be found
No survivors, no survivors
No survivors would be found

What you gonna do?
When they come for you?
What you gonna do?
When they come for you?

Come and find the ladder down
Come and see the darkness
Come and see the light go down
Hard to find you hardly
Come and heed the darkness
Come and climb the ladder down
Finish what you started

No survivors, no survivors
No survivors would be found
No survivors, no survivors
No survivors would be found

When you know it's going down
When you know it's down
Na nana nana annananan

No survivors, no survivors
No survivors would be found
No survivors, no survivors
No survivors would be found

The Sisters Of Mercy - Bury Me Deep

Call it superstition (Lie beside and)
Followed and fell (Bury me)
Under the falling (Deep)
Under the spell
Singing
Bury me
Bury me

Spoken in tongues
Of many colours
In the colours of heaven in the colours of hell, in the
Cannot, would not tell, in the
Broken temple bells, in the ringing
Oh, Marian, I can
Hear those voices singing
Bury me
Inside
Lie beside and
Bury me
Deep

In the spoken in tongues
Cover me over
Unsung
Unsaid, not
Borrowed, broken and torn,
On the bed tomorrow, mourning
Before you sleep
Bury me deep
Bury me
Inside
Lie beside and
Bury me, bury me, bury me, bury me
Deep

Call it superstition
Followed and fell
Under the falling
Under the spell
Bury me
Inside
Lie beside and
Bury me
Deep

The Cure - Lullaby

On candy stripe legs the Spiderman comes
Softly through the shadow of the evening sun
Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
Looking for the victim shivering in bed
Searching out fear in the gathering gloom and
Suddenly
A movement in the corner of the room
And there is nothing I can do
When I realize with fright
That the Spiderman is having me for dinner tonight

Quietly he laughs and shaking his head
Creeps closer now
Closer to the foot of the bed
And softer than shadow and quicker than flies
His arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes
Be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy
Don't struggle like that or I will only love you more
For it's much too late to get away or turn on the light
The Spiderman is having you for dinner tonight

And I feel like I'm being eaten
By a thousand million shivering furry holes
And I know that in the morning I will wake up
In the shivering cold

And the Spiderman is always hungry

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Rise Or Fall

Please don't suffer gotta just make it quick
You thought you had it you don't now what it takes to beg
You lost your cause you lost your time to kill
You won't matter much when they all got their feel

Mothers teach you to crawl
Fathers teach you to rise or fall
Mothers greif for a son
Fathers teach you 'you're on your own'

I won't quiver I don't squirm a sweat
You lost our gun you got nothing to make a fist
Incinerator - I'll just flip a switch
Forget we did it and you and I will face this hell

Mothers teach to crawl
Fathers teach you to rise or fall
Mothers grief for a son
Fathers teach you to take it on

All my fears awakening
I've let them back
All this flash before my eyes
I never had
Where's your consolation?
Now listen flies
'Walk my son, I've tought you well
You're on your way down'

Fuck the past I'm up and gone as well (you couldn't of lied, your curse is made)
I'm coming fast you got nothing left to say (you never saw it, your curse is conscience)
In the end you've got no answers (you couldn't of lied, your curse is made)
So much feeling you don't know how to take my hand (you never saw it, your curse is conscience)

Mothers teach you to crawl
Fathers teach to you rise of fall
Lessen a pig for a son
Never see what you're reaching for

Mothers teach you to crawl
Fathers teach you on your own
Mothers teach you to take what you waited

Faith No More - Arabian Disco

Has it been so long?
Do you think we know?
Do you think we care?
Die...for the here and now
Do you remember why?
Do you remember how?

Face .... out
Stick your chest .... out
Stomach .... in
That's right

Do you really know
Where the harems go
In the desert snow? Hail,
An oasis dream doesn't really seem
To mean a thing when you're out .... cold

So, hands .... up
Put your guards .... up
Feet .... down
Up .... down
Forward .... march
Left .... right
Cold .... cold
I feel cold

The Pogues - A Pair of Brown Eyes

One summer evening drunk to hell
I stood there nearly lifeless
An old man in the corner sang
"Where The Water Lilies Grow"
And on the jukebox Johnny sang
About a thing called love
And it's how are you kid and what's your name
And how would you bloody know?
In blood and death 'neath a screaming sky
I lay down on the ground
And the arms and legs of other men
Were scattered all around
Some cursed, some prayed, some prayed then cursed
Then prayed and bled some more
And the only thing that I could see
Was a pair of brown eyes that was looking at me
But when we got back, labeled parts one to three
There was no pair of brown eyes waiting for me

And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
For a pair of brown eyes

I looked at him he looked at me
All I could do was hate him
While Ray and Philomena sang
Of my elusive dreams
I saw the streams, the rolling hills
Where his brown eyes were waiting
And I thought about a pair of brown eyes
What waited once for me
So drunk to hell I left the place
Sometimes crawling sometimes walking
A hungry sound came across the breeze
So I gave the walls a talking
And I heard the sounds of long ago
From the old canal
And the birds were whistling in the trees
Where the wind was gently laughing

And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
For a pair of brown eyes

PJ Harvey - In the Dark Places

We got up early,

washed our faces,

walked the fields

and put up crosses.

Passed through

the damned mountains,

went hellwards,

and some of us returned,

and some of us did not.

In the fields and in the forests,

under the moon and under the sun

another summer has passed before us,

and not one man has,

not one woman has revealed

the secrets of this world.

So our young men hid

with guns, in the dirt

and in the dark places.

K's Choice - Wait

I hold it, I fold it
I throw it on the floor
I wrote it, but maybe I'm afraid
That you'll be bored

It's very real and true and sad
And hopeful just like me
It's one of those things I'll never tell
I'll carve it in a tree

I follow you, I watch you
I thank god you're in my class
I picture us in the schoolbus
And we're holding each others' hand

I need a plan for you to fall
In love with me and then
I'll make you marry me, I'll wait...

I never wear my glasses when
I know that you can see me
You act as if I'm not around
But deep down you must need me

I draw you, every single
Feature in my head
I try to do my homework
But I dream of you instead

I need a plan for you to fall
In love with me and then
I'll make you marry me, I'll wait...
I'll make you marry me
I'll make you marry me
I'll make you marry, marry me...
I'll wait...

Megadeth - Problems

Too many problems, oh why am I here?
I need to be me, 'cause you're all to clear
And I can see there's something wrong with you
Oh, what do you expect me to do?
At least I gotta know what I wanna be
Don't come to me if you need pity
Are you lonely, you got no-one
You got your body in suspension
That's a problem, problem, problem
The problem is you

Eat your heart out on a plastic tray
You don't do what you want and you fade away
You work for me, you're working nine-to-five
It's too much fun of being alive
I'm using my feet for my human machine
You work for me, living for the screen
Are you lonely, all needs catered
You got your brains dehydrated

Problem, problem, problem, the problem is you
Oh what what you gonna do, problem, problem
Problem, problem, problem, the problem is you
Well, what you gonna do with your problem
The problem is you, problem

I ain't death trip, but I ain't automatic
You work for me, just stay ecstatic
Don't you give me any orders
To people like me, there is no order

Bet you thought you had it all worked out
Bet you thought you knew what I was about
Bet you thought you'd solved all your problems
But you are the problem

Problem, problem, problem, the problem is you
Oh, what you gonna do with your problem?
I'll leave it up to you, oh problem
The problem is you, you got a problem
Oh what you gonna do?
They know a doctor, gonna take you away
Thay take you away and they throw away the key
They don't want you and they don't want me
You got a problem the problem is you,
Problem, well, what you gonna do?
Problem, have you got a problem?
Problem, well you got a problem.
Problem

(originally recorded by Sex Pistols)

The Cure - Snakepit

Well we're a mile under the ground
And I'm thinking that it's Christmas
And I'm kissing you hard
Like I've got very important business
And no-one knows
And no-one sees us
Because they're drinking themselves senseless

And I'm writhing
And I'm writhing
And I'm writhing in the snakepit
Well I'm out in a car
And it's just full of stupid girls

And I've forgotten how to speak
And I just can't remember a word
And my eyes feel like they're bursting
And they're splitting like plums

And I'm writhing
And I'm writhing
And I'm writhing in the snakepit

Bauhaus - Spirit

Tonight I could be with you
Or waiting in the Wings
Lift your heart with soaring song
Cut down the puppet strings
Cut down the puppet strings

I wear a coat of drums
And dance upon your eyes
Turn the tables upside down
Change the lows to highs
Change the lows to highs

I fill you up with butterflies
Crown the heads of kings
Be glad of first night nerves
For fear gives courage wings
Fear gives courage wings

If I am on the sidelines
Chances are you'll miss
Wait alone and spotlit
For Doctor Theatre's kiss

The stage becomes a ship in flames
I tie you to the mast
Throw your body overboard
The spotlight doesn't last
The spotlight doesn't last

I could be with you
Or waiting in the wings
Lift your heart with soaring song
Cut down the puppet strings
Cut down the puppet strings

I may tap you on the shoulder
And whisper "go" in red
Strip your feet of lead my friend
Strip your feet of lead

Call the curtain
Raise the roof
Spirits on tonight

Call the curtain
Raise the roof
Spirits on tonight

Call the curtain
Raise the roof
Spirits on tonight

We love our audience

The Smiths - Nowhere Fast

I'd like to drop my trousers to the world
I am a man of means (of slender means)
Each household appliance
Is like a new science in my town

And if the day came when I felt a natural emotion
I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump in the ocean
And when a train goes by
It's such a sad sound, no, no...
It's such a sad thing

I'd like to drop my trousers to the Queen
Every sensible child will know what this means
The poor and the needy
Are selfish and greedy on her terms

And if the day came when I felt a natural emotion
I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump in the ocean
And when a train goes by
It's such a sad sound, no, no...
It's such a sad thing

And when I'm lying in my bed
I think about life and I think about death
And neither one particularly appeals to me

And if the day came when I felt a natural emotion
I'd get such a shock I'd probably lie
In the middle of the street and die
I'd lie down and die
Oh, oh

Iggy Pop - Sunday

This house, is as slick as a senator’s statement
This job is a masquerade of recreation
Like a wreck, I’m sinking fast

The key to everything
I crawl for Sunday
When I don’t have to move
Caught up in dreams untangled one day
Where I don’t have to prove
The days roll on and finally Sunday
A Sunday afternoon
I’ve got it all
But what’s it for?
But getting some more

Always ready, always steady and
Always ready, always steady and…

The street is as cold as a corporate law suit
A pride, I can’t jive is telling me to wipe my boots
I’m a wreck
What did you expect?

The key to everything
I crawl for Sunday
When I don’t have to move
Caught up in dreams untangled one day
Where I don’t have to prove
The days roll on and finally Sunday
A Sunday afternoon
I’ve got it all
And so what now?

(Do what they say and then do what they say, go back)
(Do what they say and then do what they say, go back)
(Do what they say and then do what they say, go back)
Do what they say and do what they say till Sunday
(Do what they say)
Until I’m black and blue
Oh what can I do?

Always ready, always steady and
Always ready, always steady and...

Got all I need and it is killing me
And you
Got all I need and it is killing me
And you
Got all I need and it is killing me
And you
Got all I need and it is killing me
And you
Got all I need and it is killing me
And you
Got all I need and it is killing me
And you

The Mars Volta - Asilos Magdalena

Enfermo llegue
Y para componerme ando de vago
No me des tu obediencia
Por que te enseno mi cuerpo de lodo
En donde la piel estuvo debil
Con una hambre que no me deja cantar

En mi vida,
El oscuro me mantiene
Cuando yo te vi
En la lluvia me prometistes tu sangre

Yo no me quedo en mi vida
El oscuro me mantiene
Cuando yo te vi
En la lluvia me prometistes tu sangre
Yo no me quedo

Y ya que caiste de este mundo
Cargo una navaja
Dios mio
Para ti
Cuantas veces me mordiste
Y cuantas veces yo me fui

Y ya no me estoy enamorado
Con tus mentiras
El infierno me duermo
Por que el infierno es la unica verdad

En mi vida,
El oscuro me mantiene
Cuando yo te vi
En la lluvia me prometistes tu sangre

Yo no me quedo en mi vida
El oscuro me mantine
Cuando yo te vi
En la lluvia me prometistes tu sangre
Yo no me quedo

Estrella de la manana
Samael te persigo a ti
Y si me quedo sin alas
Ademas me muero por ti

Estrella de la manana
Samael te persigo a ti
Y si me quedo sin alas
Ademas me muero por ti

Estrella de la manana
Samael te persigo a ti
Y si me quedo sin alas
Ademas me muero por ti

Estrella de la manana
Samael te persigo a ti
Y si me quedo sin alas
Ademas me muero por ti

Estrella de la manana
Samael te persigo a ti
Y si me quedo sin alas
Ademas me muero por ti

Franz Ferdinand - Walk Away

I swapped my innocence for pride
Crushed the end within my stride
Said 'I'm strong now I know that I'm a leaver
I love the sound of you walking away
Mascara bleeds a blackened tear, oh
And I am cold
Yes I'm cold
But not as cold as you are
I love the sound of you walking away
You walking away
I love the sound of you walking away
Walking away

Why don’t you walk away?
Why don’t you walk away?
Why don't you walk away?

No buildings will fall down
Don't you walk away
No quake will split the ground
Won't you walk away
The sun won't swallow the sky
Won't you walk away
Statues will not cry
Don't you walk away
Why don’t you walk away?
Why don’t you walk away?
Why don’t you walk away?

I cannot stand to see those eyes
As apologies may rise
I must be strong, stay an unbeliever
And love the sound of you walking away
You walking away
Mascara bleeds into my eye, oh
And I’m not cold
I am old
At least
As old as you are

La-la-la...

And as you walk away
Oh as you walk away
And as you walk away

My headstone crumbles down
As you walk away
The Hollywood wind’s a howl
As you walk away
The Kremlin’s falling
As you walk away
Radio Four is static
As you walk away
Oh as you walk away
Oh as you walk away

The stab of stiletto
On a silent night
Stalin smiles
Hitler laughs
Churchill claps
Mao Tse-Tung
On the back

Morrissey - Late Night, Maudlin Street

Winter coming
Winter push on (push on)
Oh, winter push on
Winter is so long
Winter moves on

The last night on Maudlin Street
Goodbye house
Goodbye stairs
I was born here
And I was raised here
And I took some stick here

Love at first sight
May sound trite
But it's true, you know
I could list the details
Of everything you ever wore
Or said, or how you stood the day
And as we spend the last night
On Maudlin Street
"Goodbye house-forever!"
I never stole a happy hour
Around here

Where the world's ugliest boy
Became what you see
Here I am—the ugliest man
It's the last night on Maudlin Street
And truly I do love you
Oh, truly I do love you
When I sleep with that picture of
You framed beside my bed
Oh, it's childish and it's silly
But I think it's you in my room
By the bed
Yes, I told you it was silly
And I know I took strange pills
But I never meant to hurt you
Oh truly I love you

I came home late one night
Everyone had gone to bed
Nobody stays up for you
I had sixteen stitches
All around my head
The last bus I missed to Maudlin Street
So, he drove me home in the van
Complaining: "Women only like me for my mind..."

Don't leave your torch behind
A power cut ahead
1972, you know
And so we crept through the park
But no I cannot steal a pair of jeans
Off a clothesline for you
But you without clothes
Oh I could not keep a straight face
Me without clothes?
Well a nation turns its back and gags
I'm packed

I am moving house
A half-life disappears today
Every hag waves me on
Secretly wishing me gone
Well, I will be soon
Oh I will be soon

There were bad times on Maudlin Street
They took you away in a police car
Dear Inspector, don't you know?
Don't you care?
Don't you know about love?

Your gran died
And your mother died
On Maudlin Street
In pain and ashamed
With never time to say
Those special things
I took the keys from Maudlin Street
Well, it's only bricks and mortar!
And... truly I do love you
Wherever you are
Wherever you are
