Vampire Weekend - Worship You

Only in the way you want it

Only on the day you want it

Only with the understanding

Every single day you want it

Only in the way you want it

Only on the day you want it

Only with the understanding

Every single day you want it

You, you

City with the weight upon it

City in the way you want it

City with the safety of a never-ending blessing on it

City with the weight upon it

City in the way you want it

City with the safety of a never-ending blessing on it

You, you

We worshipped you,

Your red right hand

Won’t we see you once again?

In foreign soil, in foreign land,

Who will guide us through the end?

Calling on a change, we want it

Calling on the same, we want it

Calling for the misery to always be explained

Calling on a change, we want it

Calling on the same, we want it

Calling for the misery to always be explained

You, you

Energetic praise you wanted

Any kind of praise you wanted

Little bit of light to get us through the final days

Energetic praise you wanted

Any kind of praise you wanted

Little bit of light to get us through the final days

You, too

We worshipped you,

Your red right hand

Won’t we see you once again?

In foreign soil, in foreign land,

Who will guide us through the end?

We worshipped you,

Your red right hand

Won’t we see you once again?

In foreign soil, in foreign land,

Who will guide us through the end?

Sigur Rós - Untitled #6 (a.k.a. E-Bow)

...

Deftones - Lotion

I meant to come back to put out bliss

But the style is crumbling, covered canned

It was sick and no you don't even know how it comes

And shifts then gets ruined by you fucking slobs

It's classical anyway

I can't help it, it makes me so sick over and over

It sits stiff bound with no heart, fine

Cause this is where the separation starts arising

I can see it coming over your cloud

It's classical anyway

How cool are you, I remember

I feel sick, I feel sick

I feel sick, I feel sick

It's just a bad call, it's so funny how you think I'm so serious

Oh but that's not it, the thing is

I don't give enough jacks to give a fuck

It's just plain boring how you bore me asleep

It's classical anyway

How cool are you, I remember

I feel sick, I feel sick

I feel sick, I feel sick

Feel sickened, feel sickened

Feel sickened, feel sickened

Feel sickened, feel sickened

Feel sickened, I feel sick

And who the fuck are you anyway, you fuck?

It's making sick sense seeing how you're sticking out

Hardly hoping, about to please

Rise up off the fucking knees

Hop off the train for a second

And try to find your own fucking heart

It's classical anyway

How cool are you, I remember

I feel sick, I feel sick

I feel sick, I feel sick

Feel sickened, feel sickened

Feel sickened, feel sickened

Feel sickened, feel sickened

Feel sickened, feel sickened

I feel sick right here

I feel sick right here

I feel sick right here

I feel sick right here

I feel sick right here

I feel sick right here

I feel sick right here

I feel sick

Morrissey - Kiss Me a Lot

Bastille mausoleum

Stockyard, churchyard

Your mammy's backyard

I don't care when or where

I just care that you're there

And that you will...

Kiss me a lot, kiss me a lot

Kiss me all over my face

Kiss me a lot, kiss me a lot

Kiss me all over the place

Kiss me a lot, kiss me a lot

Kiss me all over and then when you've kissed me

Kiss me all over again

Bastille mausoleum

Stockyard, churchyard

Your mammy's backyard

I don't care when or where

I only care that the two of us are there

And that you, and that you will...

Kiss me a lot, kiss me a lot

Kiss me all over my face

Kiss me a lot, kiss me a lot

Kiss me all over the place

Kiss me a lot, kiss me a lot

Kiss me all over and then when you've kissed me

Kiss me all over again

Kiss me a lot, kiss me a lot

Kiss me all over my face

Kiss me a lot, kiss me a lot

All over the place

Kiss me a lot, kiss me a lot

I don't care where or when but when you've kissed me

Kiss me all over again

Savages - Mechanics

When I take a man

At my command

My love will stand

The test of time

When I take a man

Or a woman

They’re both the same

They’re both human

I want to learn

The touch of love

How you could burn

With just one touch

I want to know

The come and go

The mechanics

And know the tricks of love

The tricks of love

When I take a man

To sleep over

Pain and pleasure

Will touch my hand

And I will hold

What is untold

About my sex

And about porn

When I’m with you

I want to do

All the things that

I’ve never have done

When I take a man

At my command

My love will stand

The test of time

The test of time

The Mission - Black Mountain Mist

Listen

To the silence

Of the breaking of my heart

From a lowly vale

To the rolling hills

You and I

Lie worlds apart

Time is catching my breath

As love bleeds slowly to death

Black mountain mist

Take me back again

Black mountain mist

Come carry me home

And sleep

Is stirring dreams

Of innocence and yesterday

When the sun shone bright

And high in the sky

And we lived in hope

Of come what may

Forever with laughter we cried

And the truth is never could we have lied

Black mountain mist

Take me back again

Black mountain mist

Come carry me home

And when the rain comes

To clear away the mist

Feel it's caress

Feel it's embrace

Feel it's wasting kiss

Black mountain mist

Take me back again

Black mountain mist

Come carry me home

Black mountain mist

Come carry me, carry me home

Carry me, carry me home

Moby - Where You End

Some things fall apart

Some things make you whole

Some things that you find

Are beyond your control

I love you and you're beautiful

You write your own songs

What if the right part of leaving

Turned out to be wrong?

If I could kiss you now

Oh I'd kiss you now again and again

'Til I don't know where I begin

And where you end

Thought I fell in love the other day

With an old friend of mine

I was running kisses

Down every inch of her spine

We had the roof down

The sun came shining in

The black fact is

That I was thinking of you

If I could kiss you now

Oh I'd kiss you now again and again

'Til I don't know where I begin

And where you end

I slept in the sun the other day

I thought I was fine

Everything seemed perfect

'Til I had you on my mind

I tried to love you

I did all that I could

I wish that the bad now

Would finally turn into good

If I could kiss you now

Oh I'd kiss you now again and again

'Til I don't know where I begin

And where you end

If I could kiss you now

If I could kiss you now

If I could kiss you now

Oh where you end

Is where I begin

Oh where you end

Oh where you end

Oh where you end

Emma Ruth Rundle - You Don't Have To Cry

impetuous girl, what you don’t know can’t hurt you

wish they wouldn’t come back around here no more

but you say “I’ll get you yet”

they are crass, all the people in towns, are falling out and falling down and falling

wish I would’ve come back here less as a boy dressed up as girl dressed all in colors

and how you will sing to them, and how your pain will fall

and how you’ll sing to them, singing it:

“la la la la la la la la la lah ”

you don’t have to cry anymore

all the prettiest worlds...don’t cover them all up in your mind

as you paint, as it should’ve been, you were meant to love

you could not live without it

and in your heart and in your lines

you’ve worked so hard and you’ve lived so kind, been out there just falling down

wish they wouldn’t come back for my boy dressed as a girl dressed all in colors

and how you will sing to them and how your verses fall

and how there’s a Roman candle burning just for you

you don’t have to cry anymore

Beck - Heart Is A Drum

Free as a driving wheel

Circling around your iron will

See only what you feel

Keeps you turning when you're standing still

You tried to run from trouble when it comes

You follow the drum keeping time with everyone

High as the light of day

You're falling down across your lost highway

Pain - does it hurt this way?

To come so far to find they've closed the gates?

You've lost your tongue when you fall from the pendulum

Your heart is a drum keeping time with everyone

Everyone, if they drown from the undertow

Need to find someone to show me how to play it slow

And just let it go

Your eyes get stung by the rays of the sinking sun

You follow the drum keeping time with everyone

Going beat beat beat, it's beating me down

Beat beat beat beat, it's beating me down

Day after day, it's turning me round

'Til all my days are drowning out

The Waterboys - And a Bang on the Ear

Lindsay was my first love she was in my class

I would have loved to take her out but I was too shy to ask

The fullness of my feeling was never made clear

But I send her my love with a bang on the ear

Nora was my girl when I first was in a group

I can still see her to this day, stirring chicken soup

Now she's living in Australia working for an auctioneer

But I send her my love with a bang on the ear

Deborah broke my heart and I the willing fool

I fell for her one summer on the road to Liverpool

I thought it was forever but it was over in a year (oh dear)

But I give her my love with a bang on the ear

The home I made with Bella became a house of pain

We weathered it together bound by a ball and chain

Is started up in Fife, and ended up in tears (oh dear)

But I send her my love with a bang on the ear

Krista was a rover from Canada she hailed

We crossed swords in San Francisco we both lived to tell the tale

I don't know now where she is oh but if I had her here

I'd give her my love with a bang on the ear

So my woman of the hearthfire, harbour of my soul

I watch you lightly sleeping and sense the dream that does unfold (like gold)

You to me are treasure, you to me are dear

So I'll give you my love with a bang on the ear

PJ Harvey - Angelene

My first name, Angelene.

The prettiest mess you’ve ever seen.

Love for money is my sin –

any man calls, I’ll let him in.

Rose is my colour and white.

A pretty mouth and green my eyes.

I see men come and go

but there’ll be one who will collect my soul and come to me.

Two-thousand miles away he walks upon the coast.

Two-thousand miles away – it lays open like a road.

Dear God, life ain’t kind –

people getting born and dying,

but I’ve heard there’s joy untold

laying open on that road in front of me.

My first name, Angeline.

The Mission - Cocoon

I feel your warmth around me

In the touch of your hand

I feel you warm surround me

The swell of a wave that breaks upon the sand

I'm drifting

I'm floating

I'm rising

Within you

I have never knew surrender quite like this

In such chained embrace can have and only exist

And even though I may be a butterfly soon

I am still just a chrysalist in you

You are my cocoon

You are my cocoon

It's raining, it's cold outside

But I feel so warm inside of you

Nothing can touch me in here

I could live forever inside of you

I'm drifting

I'm floating

I'm cumming

Within you

I have never knew surrender quite like this

In such an embrace can have and only exist

And even though I could be a butterfly soon

I am still just a chrysalist in you

You are my cocoon

Suede - The Asphalt World

I know a girl she walks the asphalt world

She comes to me and I supply her with Ecstasy

Sometimes we ride in a taxi to the ends of the city

Like big stars in the back seat like skeletons ever so pretty

I know a girl she walks the asphalt world

But where does she go?

And what does she do?

And how does she feel when she's next to you?

And who does she love in time-honoured fur?

Is it me or her?

I know a girl she walks the asphalt world

She's got a friend, they share mascara I pretend

Sometimes they fly from the covers to the winter of the river

For these silent stars of the cinema

It's in the blood stream, it's in the liver

I know a girl, she walks the arse felt world

But where does she go?

And what does she do?

And how does she feel when she's next to you?

And who does she love in time-honoured fur?

Is it me or is it her?

With ice in her blood

And a Dove in her head

Well how does she feel when she's in your bed?

When you're there in her arms

And there in her legs

Well I'll be in her head

Cos that's where I go

And that's what I do

And that's how it feels when the sex turns cruel

Yes both of us need her, this is the asphalt world

U2 with Allen Ginsberg - Drunk Chicken / America

America I've given you all and now I'm nothing.

America two dollars and twenty-seven cents January 17, 1956.

I can't stand my own mind.

America when will we end the human war?

Go fuck yourself with your atom bomb

I don't feel good don't bother me.

I won't write my poem till I'm in my right mind.

America when will you be angelic?

When will you take off your clothes?

When will you look at yourself through the grave?

When will you be worthy of your million Trotskyites?

America why are your libraries full of tears?

America when will you send your eggs to India?

I'm sick of your insane demands.

When can I go into the supermarket and buy what I need with my good looks?

America after all it is you and I who are perfect not the next world.

Your machinery is too much for me.

You made me want to be a saint.

There must be some other way to settle this argument.

Burroughs is in Tangiers I don't think he'll come back it's sinister.

Are you being sinister or is this some form of practical joke?

I'm trying to come to the point.

I refuse to give up my obsession.

America stop pushing I know what I'm doing.

America the plum blossoms are falling.

I haven't read the newspapers for months, everyday somebody goes on trial for murder.

U2 - Bullet The Blue Sky

In the howlin' wind

Comes a stingin' rain

See it drivin' nails

Into the souls on the tree of pain.

From the firefly

A red orange glow

See the face of fear

Runnin' scared in the valley below.

Bullet the blue sky

Bullet the blue sky

Bullet the blue

Bullet the blue.

In the locust wind

Comes a rattle and hum.

Jacob wrestled the angel

And the angel was overcome.

You plant a demon seed

You raise a flower of fire.

We see them burnin' crosses

See the flames, higher and higher.

Woh, woh, bullet the blue sky

Bullet the blue sky

Bullet the blue

Bullet the blue.

Suit and tie comes up to me

His face red like a rose on a thorn bush

Like all the colours of a royal flush

And he's peelin' off those dollar bills

(Slappin' 'em down)

One hundred, two hundred.

And I can see those fighter planes

And I can see those fighter planes

Across the tin huts as children sleep

Through the alleys of a quiet city street.

Up the staircase to the first floor

We turn the key and slowly unlock the door

As a man breathes into his saxophone

And through the walls you hear the city groan.

Outside, is America

Outside, is America

America.

See across the field

See the sky ripped open

See the rain comin' through the gapin' wound

Howlin' the women and children

Who run into the arms

Of America.

PJ Harvey - The Life & Death Of Mr. Badmouth

Baby, you got a bad, bad mouth –

everything is poison that’s coming out.

Cheating, lying since the day you were born.

Someone oughta rinse it out with soap.

Wash it out, wash it out, wash it out.

No kind words are coming out of your mouth.

Plenty goes in but nothing good comes out.

Badmouth, sad mouth, you were an unhappy child.

That doesn’t make your lying tongue alright.

Wash it out, wash it out, wash it ou.t

‘Cos everything is poison.

You’ll be the unhappy one.

Your lips taste of poison.

You’re gonna be left alone.

When you told me every word you said

came from voices talking in your head,

baby, I just think you’re out for what you can get,

your badmouth has killed off everything we had.

Wash it out, wash it out, wash it out.

Everything is poison.

You’ll be the unhappy one.

Your lips taste of poison.

You’ll be in the corner crying.

Body Count - Ace Of Spades

If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man

You win some, you lose some, it's all the same to me

The pleasure is to play, makes no difference what you say

I don't share your greed, the only card I need

is the ace of spades, the ace of spades

Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil

Going with the flow, it's all a game to me

Seven or Eleven, snake eyes watching you

Double up or quit, double stake or split

The ace of spades, the ace of spades

You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools

But that's the way I like it baby, I don't wanna live forever

And don't forget the joker

Pushing up the ante, I know you got to see me

Read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again

I see it in your eyes, take one look and die

The only thing you see, i know it's gonna be

The ace of spades, the ace of spades

(Motörhead)

St. Vincent - My Baby Wants A Baby

My baby loves me like a saint
My baby hates when I'm away
My baby wants a baby
How can I go on?
What in the world (What in the world) would my baby say?
I got your eyes and your mistakes
You make a home (You make a home) I run away
And the story starts again
Then I couldn't stay in bed all day
I couldn't leave like my daddy
And I wouldn't be your only baby anymore

My baby's closer than a shave
My baby's blue when I dye grey
My baby wants a baby
How can it be wrong?
But I wanna play guitar all day
Make all my meals in microwaves
Only dress up if I get paid
How can it be wrong?

What in the world, what in the world, would my baby say?
I got your eyes and your mistakes
I wanna run, I wanna run, I wanna chase
The ending I can't see
Then I won't have no legacy
'Cause I won't write no symphony
Won't have no streets named after me
Won't even have your sympathy
No one will scream that song I made
Won't throw no roses on my grave
They'll just look at me and say
Where's your baby

New Order - As It Is When It Was

I've kept my head against the wall

I've been this way for so long now

You weren't exactly falling over yourself

When last I saw you

Well I always thought

We'd get along like a house on fire

Until you told me that I'd have to go

How can someone like you work that slow

Whatever you think of me

You listen hard and I will make you see

Whatever you think of me

You listen hard and I will make you see

I don't feel anything no more

This state of grace is consuming me

I'm not grown up and I am not a boy

I feel no pain and I feel no joy

Well I always thought

We'd get along like a house on fire

In those days when the sun was warm

I ran in the street where I was born

Whatever you think of me

You listen hard and I will make you see

Whatever you think of me

You listen hard and I will make you see

The streets are so empty at this time of night

I'd rather walk on my own than fight

In a world where I'd forgotten you

I found myself forgotten, too

That's the danger of believing books

And all the lies of those thieves and crooks

We sing intellectual songs of love

From a stolen pen to a velvet glove.

Nine Inch Nails - Copy Of A

I am just a copy of a copy of a copy

Everything I say has come before

Assembled into something into something into something

I don't know for certain anymore

I am just a shadow of a shadow of a shadow

Always trying to catch up with myself

I am just an echo of an echo of an echo

Listening to someone's cry for help

   

Look what you had to start

Why all the change of heart?

You need to play your part

A copy of a copy of a

Now look what you've gone and done

Well that doesn't sound like fun

See I'm not the only one

Copy of a copy of a

 

I am little pieces little pieces little pieces

Pieces that we picked up on the way

Imprinted with a purpose with a purpose with a purpose

A purpose that's become quite clear today

   

I am just a finger on a trigger on a finger

Doing everything I'm told to do

Always my intention my intention your attention

Doing everything you tell me to

  

Look what you had to start

Why all the change of heart?

You need to play your part

A copy of a copy of a

Now look what you've gone and done

Well that doesn't sound like fun

See I'm not the only one

Copy of a copy of a

Deftones - Teenager

I climbed your arms

Then you pulled away

New cavity moved into

My heart today

The more she sings

The more it seems

That now I'm through

Now I'm through

With the new you

Now I'm through

With the new you

New... you

I drove you home

Then you moved away

New cavity moved into

My heart today

The more I scream

The more it seems

Now I'm through

Now I'm through

With the new you

Now I'm through

With the new you

Now I'm through

With the new you

New... you

Skunk Anansie - God Loves Only You

His men have taken all the jewels you gave him

Your sweatin', shakin' 'cause your god loves only you

I am one again, I am one again

I am born again, I am born again

Your eyes shine brighter, he takes you higher

The dawn is breaking over girls half naked

Your soul is taken 'cause your god loves only you

I am one again, I am one again

I am born again, I am born again

Your eyes shine brighter, he takes you higher

Our world is changing 'cause your god loves only you

'Cause your god loves only you

The Cure - The Loudest Sound

Side by side in silence

They pass away the day

So comfortable, so habitual…

And so nothing left to say

Nothing left to say

Nothing left to say

Side by side in silence

His thoughts echo round

He looks up at the sky…

She looks down at the ground

Stares down at the ground

Stares down at the ground

Side by side in silence

They wish for different worlds

She dreams him as a boy…

And he loves her as a girl

Loves her as a girl…

And side by side in silence

Without a single word…

It’s the loudest sound

It’s the loudest sound…

It’s the loudest sound I ever heard

The Clash - One More Time

Must I get a witness? for all this misery

There's no need to, brothers everybody can see

That its one more time in the ghetto you know

One more time if you please now

One more time to the dying man

They say one more time if you please

The old lady kicks karate

For just a little walk down the street

The little baby he knows kung fu

He tries it on those he meets

'Cause its a one more time!

You don't need no silicone to calculate poverty

Watch when Watts town burns again

The bus goes to Montgomery

'Cause it's a one more time in the ghetto

One more time if you please

One more time for the dying man

One more time to be free

Morrissey - You Know I Couldn't Last

The whispering

May hurt you

But the printed word might kill you

The whispering

May hurt you

But the printed word might kill you

So don't let the blue

The blue eyes fool you

They're just gelignite

Loaded and aiming right between your eyes

CDs and T-shirts, promos and God knows

You know I couldn't last

Someone please take me home

The teenagers

Who love you

They will wake up, yawn and kill you

The teenagers

Who love you

They will wake up, yawn and kill you

So don't let the blue

The blue eyes fool you

They're just gelignite

Loaded and aiming right between your eyes

CDs and T-shirts, promos and God knows

You know I couldn't last

Someone please take me home

There's a cash register ringing and

It weighs so heavy on my back

Someone please take me home

The critics who

Can't break you

They somehow help to make you

The critics who

Can't break you

Unwittingly they make you

So don't let the good days

Of the gold discs

Creep up and mug you

With evil legal eagles

You know I couldn't last

Accountants rampant

You know I couldn't last

Every -ist and every -ism

Thrown my way to stay

And the Northern leeches go on

Removing, removing, removing

Then in the end

Your royalties bring you luxuries

Your royalties bring you luxuries

Oh but

The squalor of the mind

The squalor of the mind

The squalor of the mind

The squalor of the mind

U2 - Indian Summer Sky

In the ocean cuts ring deep, the sky.

Like there, I don't know why.

In the forest there's a clearing

I run there towards the light.

Sky, it's a blue sky.

In the earth the hole deep, deep, decide.

If I could I would.

Up for air to swim against the tide.

Hey, hey, hey.

Up towards the sky.

It's a blue sky.

To lose along the way the spark that set the flame

To flicker and to fade on this the longest day.

So wind go through to my heart.

So wind blow through my soul.

So wind go through to my heart.

So wind blow through my soul.

So wind go through to my heart.

You give yourself to this the longest day.

You give yourself, you give it all away.

Two rivers run too deep, the seasons change and so do I.

The light that strikes the tallest trees the light away for I.

The light away, up towards the sky.

It's a blue sky.

To lose along the way the spark that set the flame

To flicker and to fade on this the longest day.

So wind go through to my heart.

So wind blow through my soul.

So wind go through to my heart.

So wind blow through my soul.

So wind go through my heart.

So wind blow through my soul.

So wind go through to my heart.

You give yourself to this the longest day.

You give yourself, you give it all away.

R.E.M. - I Remember California

I remember redwood trees, bumper cars and wolverines

The ocean's Trident submarines

Lemons, limes and tangerines

I remember this

I remember traffic jams

Motor boys and girls with tans

Nearly was and almost rans

I remember this

History is made

History is made to seem unfair

I recall that you were there

Golden smile and shining hair

I recall it wasn't fair

Recollect it wasn't fair

Remembering it wasn't fair outside

Low ebb, high tide

The lowest ebb and highest tide

A symbol wave I must confide

I guess we took us for a ride

I guess it's just a gesture

I remember this defense

Progress fails pacific sense

All those sweet conspiracies

I remember all these things

I remember traffic jams

Motor boys and girls with tans

Nearly was and almost rans

I remember this, this

Low ebb, high tide

The lowest ebb and highest tide

I guess we took us for a ride

I guess its just a gesture.

At the end of the continent

At the edge of the continent

New Order - Sunrise

I've been waiting to hear your voice for too long now

One way conversations do not work somehow

Tell me how does one get your soul in touch with the one above

When one way conversations pay a price for the use of love

I tried so hard last night you would not talk to me

I live with the fear of the few with the gift

And I know what's going to be

Why did you never speak my name in front of my family

You gave a gift that you then took away

Like you never did before

Your name might be God but you don't say that much to me

Your name might be God but you don't say that much to me

We might be your black sheep

But you forgot us a long time ago

We might be your lost sheep

But it's time you remembered us now

As we spend our days together, nothing can go wrong

No one told the truth about it because it was so strong

If you ever think of me, if you hear my name

If you read between the lines, you'll hang your head in shame

These ?? ears will never hear, the ice will never freeze

Whatever I have done for you I did because you complained

(Whatever you may think of me whatever you may say

I've lived my whole life in danger,

You've lived your life in hate)

Anneke van Giersbergen - I Wake Up

Frozen, older, I walk the streets alone

Further, falling, I stare into the cold

I wake up, with you next to me

I wake up, totally free

Your actions, speak louder than words

I wake up, with you next to me

Faster, closer, I run towards the light

Can you help me to leave this all behind?

I wake up, with you next to me

I wake up, totally free

Your actions, speak louder than words

I wake up, with you next to me

Radiohead - (Nice Dream)

They love me like I was a brother

They protect me, listen to me

They dug me my very own garden

Gave me sunshine, made me happy

Nice dream, nice dream

Nice dream

I call up my friend, the good angel

But she’s out with her answerphone

She says she would love to come help but

The sea would electrocute us all

Nice dream, nice dream

Nice dream, nice dream

Nice dream, nice dream

Nice dream

If you think that you’re strong enough

If you think you belong enough

If you think that you’re strong enough

If you think you belong enough

[Just as well, Just as well, Just as well]

Nice dream, nice dream

Nice dream, nice dream
