Paradise Lost - Deus Misereatur

...

The xx - Swept Away

I get swept away
When I think of you
Take me to that place
Where it's control I lose

I'm soothed by you, you take it all away
I lose to you, surrendered at the start of the game

I'll never deceive
I'm right here, I always been

Hide away, I'll hide away with you
I'll let the world just slip away
And I'm left with you

Your little masquerade, I'm sure of the mood
The moments we share
Always end too soon

Part of you stays a while
Even when you're far away
How so far away, yet you feel so near

The Clash - Lost in the Supermarket

I'm all lost in the supermarket
I can no longer shop happily
I came in here for that special offer
A guaranteed personality

I wasn't born so much as I fell out
Nobody seemed to notice me
We had a hedge back home in the suburbs
Over which I never could see

I heard the people who lived on the ceiling
Scream and fight most scarily
Hearing that noise was my first ever feeling
That's how it's been all around me

I'm all lost in the supermarket
I can no longer shop happily
I came in here for that special offer
A guaranteed personality

I'm all tuned in, I see all the programmes
I save coupons from packets of tea
I've got my giant hit discoteque album
I empty a bottle and I feel a bit free

The kids in the halls and the pipes in the walls
Make me noises for company
Long distance callers make long distance calls
And the silence makes me lonely

I'm all lost in the supermarket
I can no longer shop happily
I came in here for that special offer
A guaranteed personality

And it's not here
It disappeared
I'm all lost

TV On The Radio - Golden Age

Heart beat sounding
Ricocheting in their cage
Thought I'd lose my balance
With the grounds bounce and sway
And all this violence
And all this goes away
And the vibes that rise like
Fireflies illuminate our play

Some light being
Pulled you up from night's party
Said clap your hands
If you think your soul is free
And the silence was astounding
'cept some "Oh Lord!! Mercy Me's"
And oh you can't stop what's comin' up
You're never gonna stop gonna live it up
And oh it's gonna drop gonna fill your cup
And oh it's gonna drop gonna fill your cup

The age of miracles
The age of sound
Well there's a Golden Age
Comin' round, comin' round, comin' round

Give it up
'stead of grabbing for decay
What we viewed as gold
I believe pollutes this space
And its grace ascending
Like a snake up your tree
Up your happy ending understanding
All your s'pposed to be

Let it move right in
Let it kiss your face
Let it sow your skin
In perpetual embrace
Like I said "Love's Light is Laughter"
Like the sun spitting happiness into the hereafter
Oh here it comes like a natural disaster
Ah blowing up like a ghetto blaster
Ah here it comes, bring it faster
Ah here it comes, bring it faster

The age of miracles
The age of sound
Well there's a Golden Age
Comin' round, comin' round, comin' round

Love, don't you falter
Burning hearts
Dragged behind
The horses dancing on the altar
Hooves breaking Gods
To diamond dust and stars
And there you are...

Now we're all allowed to breathe
Walls dissolve
With the hunger and the greed
Move your body
You've got all you need
And your arms in the air stir a sea of stars
And oh here it comes and it's not so far

All light beings
Come on now make haste
Clap your hands
If you think you're in the right place
Thunder all surrounding
Aw feel it quake with the joy resounding
Palm to the palm you can feel it pounding
Never give it up you can feel it mounting
Oh its gonna drop gonna fill your cup and
Oh its gonna drop gonna fill your cup

The age of miracles
The age of sound
Well there's a Golden Age
Comin' round, comin' round, comin' round

The age of miracles
The age of sound
Well there's a Golden Age
Comin' round, comin' round, comin' round

Kasabian - stevie

Stevie, where you going with that gun?

Who you wanna shoot down?

Who you trying to kill?

You've been watching too much TV

It's playing with your memories

It's trying to break your heart

Just calm down, take your medication

It numbs you to the world

Not my world

And all the kids they say

Live to fight another day

Live to fight again

And all the kids they say

Live to fight another day

Live to fight again, again, again, again

There's no life underneath your finger

I dreamt a little bigger

I'm sick and tired of this

If you show us what we can't have

What do you expect when

We take it back from you

'Cause it's no joke, no joke

I wanna open up your eyes wide, eyes wide

I feel it coming but you can't hide, can't hide

I wanna make you see the light

And all the kids they say

Live to fight another day

Live to fight again

And all the kids they say

Live to fight another day

Live to fight again, again, again, again

And the ordinary people

Living ordinary lives

There's more than just existence

I see the fire in your eyes

You knew this all already

It comes as no surprise

It's time to push things forward

'Cause there's no way back, yeah

There's no way back now

Mogwai - Glasgow Mega-Snake

...

The Cure - Mint Car

The sun is up
I'm so happy I could scream!
And there's nowhere else in the world I'd rather be
Than here with you
It's perfect
It's all I ever wanted
I almost can't believe that it's for real

I really don't think it gets any better than this
Vanilla smile
And a gorgeous strawberry kiss!
Birds sing we swing
Clouds drift by and everything is like a dream
It's everything I wished

Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it again?
I know we should!!!

The sun is up
I'm so fizzy I could burst!
You wet through and me headfirst
Into this is perfect
It's all I ever wanted
Ow! it feels so big it almost hurts!

Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it some more?
I know we should!!!

Say it will always be like this
The two of us together
It will always be like this
Forever and ever and ever...

Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it all the time?
I know that we should!!!

Sonic Youth - Walkin Blue

Hey now, what's the news?

I heard you've been seen walkin' blue

I know we're all confused, it's true

I know you feel the same way

Everything we see is clear

Everything we feel

I'm here to let you know

All we need to do is just to just let go

You've heard we're "born to lose", I know

But don't start to think that's really true

You've got the walkin blues today

But soon we'll stand and let the music play

Everything we dream is clear

Everything we need

Let's say you and I we find something hard to hold

Let's keep it in our minds

And let it fill our days

Never slip and find we've let it stray

Now we're in for the long ride

We can let the rest slip aside

Everything we see is clear

Everything we feel is clear

Everything we dream is clear

Everything we see is clear

U2 - Elevation (Influx Remix)

High, higher than the sun

You shoot me from a gun

I need you to elevate me here

At the corner of your lips

As the orbit of your hips

Eclipse, you elevate my soul…

Soul…

You elevate my…

A star lit up like a cigar

Strung out like a guitar

Maybe you could educate my mind

Explain all these controls

I can’t sing but I’ve got soul

The goal is elevation

A mole, digging in a hole

Digging up my soul now

Going down, excavation

I and I in the sky

You make me feel like I can fly

So high, elevation

Love, lift me up out of these blues

Won’t you tell me something true

I believe in you

Soul…

I’ve got no self-control

Been living like a mole now

Going down, excavation

I and I in the sky

You make me feel like I can fly

So high, elevation

Elevation…

Elevation…

Elevation…

Elevation…

Elevation…

Elevation…

Elevation…

Elevation

The Strokes - Barely Legal

I didn't take no shortcuts

I spent the money that I saved up

Oh, mama running out of luck

But like my sister, don't give a fuck

I wanna steal your innocence

To me, my life, it don't make any sense

These strange manners, I love 'em so

Why won't you wear your new trenchcoat?

I should have worked much harder

I should have just not bothered

I never show up on weekdays

And something that you learned yesterday

Drive you to work and you'll be on time

These little problems, they're not yours, they're mine

Come on, listen to what I say

I've got some secrets that'll make you stay

I just want to turn you down

I just want to turn you around

Oh, you ain't never had nothing I wanted, but

I want it all, I just can't figure out

Nothing

And all together, it went well

We made pretend, we were best friends

Then she said, "Oh, you're a freak"

They ordered me to make mistakes

Together again, like the beginning

It all works somehow in the end

The things we did, the things you hide

But for the record, it's between you and I

Oh, I didn't take no shortcuts

I spent the money that I saved up

Oh, mama running out of luck

And like my sister, don't give a fuck

I wanna steal your innocence

To me, my life, it just don't make any sense

Oh, strange manners, I love 'em so

Why won't you wear your new trenchcoat?

I just want to misbehave

I just want to be your slave

Oh, you ain't never had nothing I wanted, but

I want it all, I just can't figure out

Nothing

And all together, it went well

We made pretend, we were best friends

Then she said, "Oh, I can wait"

They ordered me to make mistakes

Together again, like the beginning

It all works somehow in the end

The things we did, the things you hide

But for the record, it's between you and I

Arcade Fire - Reflektor

Trapped in a prison,

in a prism of light.

Alone in the darkness,

a darkness of white.

We fell in love,

alone on a stage,

in the reflective age.

Entre la nuit, la nuit et l'aurore.

Entre le royaume des vivants et des morts.

If this is heaven,

I don't know what it's for.

If I can't find you there,

I don't care.

I thought I found a way to enter;

it was just a reflector. (Just a reflector)

I thought I found the connector;

it was just a reflector. (Just a reflector)

Now the signals we send

are deflected again.

We're so connected,

but are we even friends?

We fell in love when I was 19,

and now we're staring at a screen.

Entre la nuit, la nuit et l'aurore.

Entre le royaume des vivants et des morts.

If this is heaven,

I need something more.

Just a place to be alone,

cause you're my home.

I thought I found a way to enter;

it was just a reflector. (Just a reflector)

I thought I found the connector;

it was just a reflector. (Just a reflector)

Just a reflector.

It's just a reflector, just a reflector.

It's just a reflector, just a reflector.

Just a reflector, reflector.

Just a reflector.

Just a reflection of a reflection

of a reflection of a reflection of a reflection (ah!),

but I see you on the other side.

We all got things to hide.

Just a reflection of a reflection

of a reflection of a reflection of a reflection (ah!),

but I see you on the other side.

We all got things to hide.

(Alright let's go back.)

Our song it skips

on little silver disks.

Our love is plastic,

and they break it to bits.

I want to break free,

but will they break me

down, down down,

don't mess around.

I thought I found a way to enter;

it was just a reflector. (Just a reflector)

I thought I found the connector;

it was just a reflector. (Just a reflector)

It's just a reflector.

Thought you were praying to the resurrector;

turns out it was just a reflector. (Just a reflector)

Thought you were praying to the resurrector;

turns out it was just a reflector. (Just a reflector)

Thought you were praying to the resurrector;

turns out it was just a reflector. (Just a reflector)

Just a reflector.

Just a reflector.

Just a reflector.

But I see you on the other side.

Just a reflector.

(Ah!)

But I see you on the other side. (Reflector)

We all got things to hide. (Reflector)

Just a reflector.

But I see you on the other side.

The Pogues - Dark Streets Of London

I like to walk in the summer breeze

Down Dalling Road by the dead old trees

And drink with my friends

In the Hammersmith Broadway

Dear dirty delightful old drunken old days

Then the winter came down and I loved it so dearly

The pubs and the bookies where you'd spend all your time

And the old men that were singing

"When The Roses Bloom Again"

And turn like the leaves

To a new summertime

Now the winter comes down

I can't stand the chill

That comes to the streets around Christmas time

And I'm buggered to damnation

And I haven't got a penny

To wander the dark streets of London

And every time that I look on the first day of summer

Takes me back to the place where they gave ECT

And the drugged up psychos

With death in their eyes

And how all of this really

Means nothing to me

Now the winter comes down

I can't stand the chill

That comes to the streets around Christmas time

And I'm buggered to damnation

And I haven't got a penny

To wander the dark streets of London

And every time that I look on the first day of summer

Takes me back to the place where they gave ECT

And the drugged up psychos

With death in their eyes

And how all of this really

Means nothing to me

And now the winter comes down

I can't stand the chill

That comes to the streets around Christmas time

And I'm buggered to damnation

And I haven't got a penny

To wander the dark streets of London

To wander the dark streets of London

To wander the dark streets of London

Ian McCulloch - Pomegranate

On one

Stretching dimensions

My brain so full of tension

And things I cannot mention

That got me on my knees

Far forgone

Along with my conclusions

That came with much confusion

And led to my delusion

But got me on my way

Got me on my way...

Yes

And the world fell down

When the moon was blue

And you wore a crown

And the word was true

Stop it

Don't live in the gutter

Spread your bread with butter

Enunciate don't stutter

And think before you say

Drop it

String it up and eat it

Be so glad to meet it

Turn around and greet it

Make sure you get your way…

Yes

And the world fell down

When the moon was blue

And you wore a crown

And the word was true

True...

Cowboy Junkies - The Post

Eyed it, dried it, untied it

Chilled it, spilled it, refilled it

Taste it, traced it, erased it

He's my post to lean on

And I just cut him down

So I'm out to land on somethin'

Hopefully a boy will come to me at the ground

Eyed it, dried it, untied it

Chilled it, spilled it, refilled it

Taste it, trace it, erased it

H e's my post to lean on

And I just cut him down

So I'm out to land on somethin'

Hopefully a boy will come to me at the ground

He's my post to lean on

Hopefully a boy will come to me at the ground

Goldfrapp - Ride A White Horse

Now take me dancing, at the disco

Where you buy your winniebago

I wanna ride on a white horse

I want to ride on a white horse

When the light turns into darkness

Will he turn up to explain us

I wanna ride on a white horse

I want to ride on a white horse

Lend me a whole new world

All night, feel life, oh, oh

When is there ever sense

To love, this world, oh, oh

In the whirlpool, we'll go deeper

In this world that's getting cheaper

I wanna ride on a white horse

I want to ride on a white horse

I like dancing, at the disco

I want blisters, your my leader

I wanna ride on a white horse

I want to ride on a white horse

Lend me a whole new world

All night, feel life, oh, oh

When is there ever sense

To love, this world, oh, oh

Lend me a whole new world

All night, feel life, oh, oh

When is there ever sense

To love, this world, oh, oh

Oh I love this feeling

Feels like forever

Oh I love this feeling

Feels like real leather

The Gathering - Illuminating

Illuminating is what we are

When we will be on the stars

I will feel great

Without my weight

That I would feel

While on the ground

Who would have thought

That we could overcome

Such a thing as

Protruding the ozone layer

To find new species

On the stars

I will feel great

Without my weight

Pulling me down

Would I still feel myself

When I hit the ground

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Supernaturally

Through the windswept coastal trees

Where the dead come rising from the sea

With a teddy-bear clamped between her knees

She says, where can my loverman be?

Well, I’m down here, babe, with the Eskimos

With the polar bears and the Arctic snow

With a party of penguins who do not know

How I can get back to thee

Well I’m gonna ask you, babe

Hey! Ho!

Oh baby don’t you go

Hey! Ho!

Oh no no no

Hey! Ho!

Oh baby, don’t you go

All supernatural on me

Supernaturally

Once I was your hearts desire

Now I am the ape hunkered by the fire

With my knuckles dragging through the mire

You float by so majestically

You’re my north, my south, my east, my west

You are the girl that I love best

With an army of tanks bursting from your chest

I wave my little white flag at thee

Can you see it, babe?

Hey! Ho!

Oh baby don’t you go

Hey! Ho!

Oh no no no

Hey! Ho!

Oh baby, don’t you go

All supernatural on me

Supernaturally

Now I’ve turned the mirrors to wall

I’ve emptied out the peopled halls

I’ve nailed shut the windows and locked the doors

There is no escape, you see

I chase you up and down the stairs

Under tables and over chairs

I reach out and I touch your hair

And it cuts me like a knife

For there is always some little thing you gotta do

Hey! Ho!

Oh baby don’t you go

Hey! Ho!

Oh baby, no no no

Hey! Ho!

Oh don’t you go

All supernatural on me

Supernaturally

This Mortal Coil - The Jeweller

The jeweller has a shop on the corner of the boulevard

In the night, in small spectacles, he polishes old coins

He uses spit and cloth and ashes

He makes them shine with ashes

He knows the use of ashes

He worships God with ashes

The coins are often very old by the time they reach the jeweler

With his hands and ashes, he will try the best he can

He knows that he can only shine them, cannot repair the scratches

He knows that even new coins have scars, so he just smiles

H e knows the use of ashes

He worships God with ashes

In the darkest of the night

Both his hands will blister badly

They will often open painfully and the blood flows from his hands

He works to take from black coin faces, the thumbprints from so many ages

He wishes he could cure the scars

When he forgets he sometimes cries

He knows the use of ashes

He worships God with ashes

(originally recorded by Pearls Before Swine)

Radiohead - Anyone Can Play Guitar

Destiny, destiny, protect me from the world

Destiny, hold my hand, protect me from the world

Here we are, with our running and confusion

And I don't see no confusion anywhere

And if the world does turn, and if London burns

I'll be standing on the beach with my guitar

I wanna be in a band when I get to heaven

Anyone can play guitar and they won't be a nothing anymore

Grow my hair

Grow my hair, I am Jim Morrison

Grow my hair

I wanna be, wanna be, wanna be Jim Morrison

Here we are, with our running and confusion

And I don't see no confusion anywhere

And if the world does turn, and if London burns

I'll be standing on the beach with my guitar

I wanna be in a band when I get to heaven

Anyone can play guitar and they won't be a nothing anymore

God Is An Astronaut - Burial

...

Guns N' Roses - Yesterdays

Yesterday, there was so many things I was never told

Now that I'm starting to learn, I feel I'm growing old

'Cause yesterday's got nothing for me

Old pictures that I'll always see

Time just fades the pages in my book of memories

Prayers in my pocket, and no hand in destiny

I'll keep on movin' along with no time to plant my feet

'Cause yesterday's got nothing for me

Old pictures that I'll always see

Some things could be better if we'd all just let them be

Ooh, yesterday's got nothing for me

Yesterday's got nothing for me

Got nothing for me, ooh, yeah

Yesterday, there were so many things I was never shown

Suddenly, this time I found I'm on the streets and I'm all alone

Yesterday's got nothing for me

Old pictures that I'll always see

I ain't got time to reminisce old novelties

Ooh, yesterday's got nothing for me

Yesterday's, ooh, got nothing for me

Yesterday's got nothing for me

Yesterday

Yesterday

The White Stripes - The Air Near My Fingers

Life is so boring

It's really got me snoring

I'm wearing out the flooring in a cheap motel

But I don't have to work and

I might be sinning

But I'm never gonna have to hear the rings of school bells

Do-do do-do-do-do do-do do-do-do-do-do

Do-do do-do-do-do do-do do-do-do-do-do

Don't you remember?

You told me in December

That a boy is not a man until he makes a stand

Well, I'm not a genius

But maybe you'll remember this

I never said I ever wanted to be a man

Do-do do-do-do-do do-do do-do-do-do-do

Do-do do-do-do-do do-do do-do-do-do-do

I get nervous when she comes around

When she comes around, when she comes around

I get nervous when she comes around

When she comes around, when she comes around

I get nervous when she comes around

When she comes around, when she comes around

I get nervous when she comes around

When she comes around, when she comes around

Hey

My mom is so caring

She's really got me staring

At all the crazy little things she does for sure

And I can't seem to think of

Another kind of love

That a boy could ever get from anyone but her

Do-do do-do-do-do do-do do-do-do-do-do

Do-do do-do-do-do do-do do-do-do-do-do

I get nervous when she comes around

When she comes around, when she comes around

I get nervous when she comes around

When she comes around, when she comes around

I get nervous when she comes around

When she comes around, when she comes around

I get nervous when she comes around

When she comes around, when she comes around

Kings Of Leon - Golden Restless Age

You smile

Your lips beguile

You look impeccable

Cutting through the room like a knife

Sharpened leather fastened tight

Oh so insatiable

Such a sight

An apparition holding tight

Never to shy from the scene

Splash of sound

Just a bellow bouncing 'round

There is a quiet to your scream

They fall, you rise

It's here, your time

The golden restless age

And time won't turn the page

You're only passing through a form of you

I look in your eyes and therе's a rage

And time won't turn the pagе

It hits you headlong to go it alone

See the eyes how they shimmer

And how they shine

It's only personal

I watch you fall, at breakneek speed

Lie in wait

Aching to feel it all

The cause - effect

The line is set

The golden restless age

And time won't turn the page

You're only passing through a form of you

I look in your eyes and there's a rage

And time won't turn the page

It hits you headlong to go it alone

They fall, you rise

It's here, your time

The golden restless age

And time won't turn the page

You're only passing through a form of you

I look in your eyes and there's a rage

And time won't turn the page

It hits you headlong to go it alone

The Jesus And Mary Chain - Moe Tucker

You know I think it's time you gave the girl a chance

You know she don't need love and she don't need no romance

You've got to walk before you run

You've got to live for number one

Don't get up for her 'cause you're going down

And if you make a deal you know she's got to have her say

And if you make a deal you know it's got to be her way

We're all fucked up but it don't show

Tell me something I don't know

Uh huh

You know I think it's time you gave the girl a line

You know she don't know how but she knows it'll work out fine

She's gonna walk before you walk

She's gonna shout before you talk

Give her one good reason why she should hang around

Ahuh

And if you make a deal you know she's got to have her say

And if you make a deal you know it's got to be her way

You're all fucked up but it don't show

Tell me something I don't know

Ahuh

It ain't free so

It ain't easy, yeah

It ain't free so

It ain't easy, yeah

It ain't free so

It ain't easy, yeah

It ain't free so

It ain't easy, yeah

It ain't free so

It ain't easy, yeah

It ain't free so

It ain't easy, yeah

U2 - Love Comes Tumbling

(When you make love, go a little bit faster)

Love don't need to find a way

You find your own way

I forget that I can't stay

And so I say that

All roads lead to where you are

All roads lead to where you are

The seed is spilled, the bed defiled

For you, a virgin bride

I'm yourself in someone else

Don't find yourself in me

I can't lift you up again

Love comes tumbling down again

Love don't need to find a way

You find your own way

I forget that you can stay

And so I say that

All roads lead to where you are

All roads lead to where you are

Radiohead - Lotus Flower

I will shape myself into your pocket

Invisible

Do what you want

Do what you want

I will shrink and I will disappear

I will slip into the groove

And cut me off

And cut me off

There's an empty space inside my heart

Where the weeds take root

And now I'll set you free

I'll set you free

There's an empty space inside my heart

Where the weeds take root

So now I'll set you free

I'll set you free

Slowly we unfurl

As lotus flowers

'Cause all I want is the moon upon a stick

Just to see what if

Just to see what is

I can't kick your habit

Just to feed your fast ballooning head

Listen to your heart

We will shrink and we'll be quiet as mice

And while the cat is away

Do what we want

Do what we want

There's an empty space inside my heart

Where the weeds take root

So now I set you free

I set you free

'Cause all I want is the moon upon a stick

Just to see what if

Just to see what is

Oh, the bird that's flown into my room

Slowly we unfurl

As lotus flowers

'Cause all I want is the moon upon a stick

I dance around the pit

The darkness is beneath

I can't kick your habit

Just to feed your fast ballooning head

Listen to your heart

Iron Maiden - The Time Machine

Put to the sword by an impish whim

Follow me now to a place we begin

Wrought with no anger, wrought with no fear

Devilish children playing here

Hidden in silence, below barren waste

Confusion hunger, am I still awake?

Have I ever told you about my time machine

Sit you down I'll tell you everywhere I've been

I have lived a long life, life extraordinaire

Let me tell you about it, let me take you there

Does it really matter, it's all in the mind

Let me tell you about it, listen what you'll find

I am not a preacher, I am but a man

You cannot imagine what I've seen and done

I have lived a long life, I have seen the world

I could tell you stories, hair will stand on end

Stand among the steeples, stand upon the walls

I have seen a god's face, I have no disgrace

I have seen the gods cry, howling in the wind

Where do I get started, when can I begin

I am not a preacher, I am but a man

You cannot imagine what I've seen and done

Sleep with a light that is dark to my eyes

Father and sons give me all of your lies

The brutal truth, that is never a lie

Full moon is out, as you look to the sky

I am not a preacher, I am but a man

You cannot imagine what I've seen and done

Open your heart and I'll open your soul

Even in quieter moments I know

I am not a preacher, I am but a man

You cannot imagine what I've seen and done

Eerie collection, darkness is there, wedded to danger

Betrothed to despair

dEUS - Everybody's Weird

Everybody’s weird

So everybody came, but you’re here to have some fun

And everyone’s the same, well that’s faster said than done.

And you’re such a lovely guy but it doesn’t take so much

To get all there is out, all the dirt and all the sludge.

You’re stepping on my sun

And it’s such a lot of fun

Better smile before it’s gone

You’re stepping on my sun

And the liquor that you had

Is playing twister with your mind

You been artificially sad

But never naturally high

I was flashing on a thought

On a party in this town

If I said what’s on my mind

There’d be not a soul around.

You’re stepping on my sun

And it’s such a lot of fun

Better smile before it’s gone

You’re stepping on my sun.

It’s easier to trust

If it comes down to this my friend

I will help you if I must

I will kill you if I can

Experience is cheap

And you know that in the end

I will kill you if I must

I will help you if I can

You’re stepping on my sun

And it’s such a lot of fun

Better smile before it’s gone

You’re stepping on my sun

‘Cause everybody’s weird

And they all think they’re God

But the biggest one they fear is that precious thing you got.

The fire in your eyes

Is a subtlety I know

And you will not be denied

But the service is so slow

London Grammar - Lord It's a Feeling

I saw the way you made her feel like she should be somebody else
I saw the way she tried to hold you when your heart was just a shell
I saw the words she wrote that broke my heart, it was a living hell
I saw the way you laughed behind her back when you fucked somebody else

I saw the way you made her feel like she should be somebody else
I know you think the stars align for you and not for her as well
I understand I can admit that I have felt those things myself
I saw the way you laughed behind her back when you fucked somebody else

Lord, it's a feeling
It comes to find you
Lord, it's a feeling
That I felt

If it's convenient for you, you want her love, she'll give you more
That's when your words are so convincing say you'll try until she's sure
That you will change, I can admit that I have been right there before
But on that morning when you're proud, you said, "I fucked somebody of course"

Lord, it's a feeling
It comes to find you
Lord, it's a feeling
(That I've felt)
It comes to find you
(Like no one else)

When the rest of us have nothing left
She won't be yours

Lord, it's a feeling
That I've felt
Lord, it's a

Feeling, it will come to find you
Feeling, it will come to find you
Feeling, it will come to find you
Feeling, it will come to find you
Feeling, it will come to find you

Lord, it's a feeling
That I've felt
It comes to find you
Like no one else

When the rest of us have nothing left
She won't be yours
When the rest of us have nothing left
She won't be yours

White Lies - From The Stars

I saw a friend that I once knew at a funeral

He took the time out to be seen

His eyes kept glancing to the hour hand

On the gold watch

That he'd been given by a magaze

He didn't cry when the priest gave the sermon

Just pulled up the woollen collar on his fleece

Crossed his arms gave a sigh and checked the time again

As he sat inches from the wife of the deceased

He catches raindrops from his window

It reminds him of how we fall

From the stars back to our cities

Where we've never felt so small

Raindrops from his window

Making puddles in his hands

He sees how quick the water's rising

As another raindrop lands

He took a chuffeur driven car back to his hotel

Passing through the city streets where he was born

He said "Driver what's happened to these buildings?

They all look rundown and so forlorn"

He took a shower in the bathroom of his penthouse

Put the 'do not disturb' on his door

When the maid came in the morning

She found him shivering on the bedroom floor

He catches raindrops from his window

It reminds him of how we fall

From the stars back to our cities

Where we've never felt so small

Raindrops from his window

Making puddles in his hands

He sees how quick the water's rising

As another raindrop lands

He catches raindrops from his window

It reminds him of how we fall

From the stars back to our cities

Where we've never felt so small

Raindrops from his window

Making puddles in his hands

He sees how quick the water's rising

As another raindrop lands

Body Count - Body Count

You know sometimes I sit at home, you know,

and I watch T.V. and I wonder what it would be like

to live someplace like, you know, the Cosby show,

Ozzie and Harriet, you know, where

cops come and got your cat outta the tree

all your friends died of old age,

But you see, I live in South Central Los Angeles and unfortunately...

SHIT AIN'T LIKE THAT! IT'S REAL FUCKED UP!

Goddamn what a brother gotta do

to get a message through

to the red, white and blue?

What I gotta die

before you realize

I was a brother with open eyes?

The world's insane

while you drink champagne

and I'm livin' in black rain.

You try to ban the A.K.,

I got ten of 'em stashed

with a case of hand grenades.

Tell us what to do... Fuck you!

Tell us what to do... Fuck you!

Tell us what to do... Fuck you!

Tell us what to do... Fuck you!

You know what you'd do

if a kid got killed on the way to school

or a cop shot your kid in the backyard.

Shit would hit the fan, motherfucker

and it would hit real hard.

I hear it every night, another gunfight,

the tension mounts,

on with the Body Count.

Yo, Beatmaster "V", take these motherfuckers

to South Central.

Ha ha.

Yeah

Fuck that.

I hear it every night,

another gunfight,

the tension mounts,

on with the Body Count.

Last weekend thirty-seven kids killed in gang warfare,

in my backyard.

No!

No!

No!

Yo, Ernie C., take these motherfuckers home.

Yeah.

Yeah, we in the house, Body Count fools, 1991 motherfuckers.

I hear it every night,

another gunfight,

the tension mounts,

on with the Body Count.

Goddamn what a brother gotta do

to get a message through

to the red, white and you?

What I gotta die before you realize

I was a nigga with open eyes?

The world's insane

while you drink champagne

and I'm livin' in black rain,

don't you hear the guns

you stupid, dumb, dick suckin', bum politicians.

Tell us what to do... Fuck you!

Tell us what to do... Fuck you!

The tension mounts...

The Mission - Shelter From The Storm (BBC Radio 1 Session for Janice Long Show, 1986)

It's raining cats and dogs and I'm soaked right through the skin

Running blind in the God given light, is where I've been

It's plans to be laid, deals to be made

Price to be paid and prayers to be said

For God only knows where I lay my head

Give me shelter, shelter from the storm

Give me shelter, shelter from the storm

My head is bowed as the wind blows hard and the rain is beating cruel

Walking on water barefoot, in this whirlpool

Gods for plays and days on days

? on ?, these words of play

Give me strength and give me praise and ?? could I lay

Give me shelter, shelter from the storm

Give me shelter, shelter from the storm

Hello, I love you, won't you tell me you name

Hello, I love you, won't you tell me you name

Come on baby light my fire, come on baby light my fire

Come on baby light my fire, come on baby light my fire

Give me shelter, shelter from the storm

Give me shelter, shelter from the storm

Give me shelter, shelter from the storm

Give me shelter, shelter from the storm

Come and get it

It's been a long time since I rock 'n' rolled

It's been a long time since I did that stroll

Let me get it back, let me get it back, let me get it back

Let me get it back, let me get it back, let me get it back

Give me shelter, shelter from the storm

Give me shelter, shelter from the storm

Give me shelter, shelter from the storm

Give me shelter, shelter from the storm

?

I can't get no satisfaction

I can't get no satisfaction

I can't get no satisfaction

I hear you calling Marian

I hear you calling Marian

Give me shelter, shelter from the storm

Give me shelter, shelter from the storm

Mazzy Star - Happy

Field of light
They hold me inside
Count my stars
They're all lucky in the sky

There's a time
When you go off the light
And all my things look like someone else's memories

Cold outside
Burns a great big hole in my heart
I just wait till you're happy
And your smile makes it bright
It makes it bright

Sleep inside
Ocean has miles
It shimmers and it glows
For some people
I know it shines
I know it shines

Stay inside
Don't the colors make you blind
They hold me inside
Count my stars
Let them shine
I know they shine

Nine Inch Nails - Where Is Everybody?

Did you happen to catch

Or did it happen so fast

What you thought would always last

Has passed you by

Is everything speeding up

Or am I slowing down

Just spinning around

And I don't know why

All the pieces don't fit

Thought I really didn't give a shit

I never wanted to be like you

But for all I aspire

I am really a liar

And I'm running out of things I can do

I'd like to stay

But every day

Everything pushes me further away

If you could show

Help me to know

How it's supposed to be

Where did it go?

Pleading and

Needing and

Bleeding and

Breeding and

Feeding

Exceeding

Where is everybody?

Trying and

Lying

Defying

Denying

Crying and

Dying

Where is everybody?

Well, okay, enough

You've had your fun

But come on there has got to be someone

That hasn't yet become

So numb

And succumb

And

God damn I am so tired of pretending

Of wishing I was ending

When all I'm really doing is trying to hide

And keep it inside

And fill it with lies

Open my eyes?

Maybe I wish I could try

Pleading and

Needing and

Bleeding and

Breeding and

Feeding

Exceeding

Where is everybody?

Trying and

Lying

Defying

Denying

Crying and

Dying

Where is everybody?

Paradise Lost - Honesty In Death

In amidst the madness

That only tears into myself

The mist of sadness

It turns into my hell

Burns into the frail, all this speak of death

My honesty in death,

Modesty until the end

Honesty in death

In amidst the anguish

My only prayers are to myself

Resistance crashes

As clemency compels

Turning not to face, only speak of death

My honesty in death

Honesty adorns the end

Modesty’s intent

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Death Of A Martian

Bear paws and rascal power

Watching us in your garage

Big girl you ate the neighbor

The nova is over

Wake up and play

Balleradio

Make room for Clara's bare feet

The love of a Martian

Tick tock and waiting for the meteor

This clock is opening another door

Lots of love just keep it comin'

Makin' something out of nothin'

These are the best that I

I don't know how to say

Losin' what I love today

These are the best that I

Lots of love just keep it comin'

Makin' something out of nothin'

These are the best that I

I don't know what to say

Look at what I've lost today

And these are the things that I

Blood flowers in the kitchen

Signing off and winding down

This Martian ends her mission

The nova is over

She caught the ball

By the mission bell

Chase lizards, bark at donkeys

The love of a Martian

Let's bow our heads

And let the trumpets blow

Our girl is gone

God bless her little soul

Lots of love just keep it comin'

Makin' something out of nothin'

These are the best that I

I don't know how to say

Losin' what I love today

These are the best that I

Lots of love just keep it comin'

Makin' something out of nothin'

These are the best that I

I don't know what to say

Look at what I've lost today

And these are the things that I

She's got sword in case

Though this is not her Lord, in case

The one who can't afford to face

Her image is restored to grace

Disappeared. No trace. Musky tears. Suitcase

The down turn brave little burncub bearcareless turnip snare rampages pitch color pages

Down and out but not in Vegas

Disembarks and disengages. No loft

Sweet pink canary cages plummet pop dewskin fortitude for the sniffing black noses that snort and allude

To the dangling trinkets that mimic the dirt cough go drink its

It's for you

Blue battered naval town slip kisses delivered by duck muscles and bottle-nosed grifters

Arrive in time to catch the late show

It's a beehive barrel race. A shehive stare and chase

Wasted feature who tried and failed to reach her

Embossed beneath a box in the closet that's lost

The kind that you find when you mind your own business

Shiv sister to the quickness before it blisters into the newmorning milk blanket. Your ilk is funny to the turnstile touch bunny

Whose bouquet set a course for bloom without decay

Get your broom and sweep echoes of yesternights' fallen freckles... away

The Doors - Twentieth Century Fox

Well, she's fashionably lean

And she's fashionably late

She'll never wreck a scene

She'll never break a date

But she's no drag just watch the way she walks

She's a twentieth century fox

She's a twentieth century fox

No tears, no fears

No ruined years, no clocks

She's a twentieth century fox, oh yeah

She's the queen of cool

And she's the lady who waits

Since her mind left school

It never hesitates

She won't waste time on elementary talk

'Cause she's a twentieth century fox

She's a twentieth century fox

Got the world locked up

Inside a plastic box

She's a twentieth century fox, oh yeah

Twentieth century fox, oh yeah

Twentieth century fox, oh

She's a twentieth century fox

PJ Harvey & John Parish - Cracks In The Canvas

How do we cope
With the days after a death
Empty days
Nothing left
Not even a funeral
I see shapes forming inside paintings
Animals and humans feet on road
Walking towards something
Waiting for something

I'm looking for an answe
Me and a million others
disbelievers, deserted lovers
Dear god you better not let me down this time

Cracks in the canvas
Look like roads that never end
Honey
Go to sleep
You have no one to wait for
And now, here's another voice

Outside the window
The voices of ten thousand angels
Tten thousand lives that lived before>

Rage Against The Machine - Ashes In The Fall

A mass of hands press on the market window

Ghosts of progress

Dressed in slow death

Feeding on hunger

And glaring through the promise

Upon the food that rots slowly in the aisle

A mass of nameless at the oasis

That hides the graves beneath the master’s hill

Are buried for drinking

The river’s water

While shackled to the line

At the empty well

This is the new sound

Just like the old sound

Just like the noose wound

Over the new ground

Listen to the fascist sing

“Take hope here

War is elsewhere

You were chosen

This is god’s land

Soon we’ll be free

Of blot and mixture

Seeds planted by our

Forefather’s hand”

A mass of promises

Begin to rupture

Like the pockets

Of the new world kings

Like swollen stomachs

In Appalachia

It’s the priests that fuck you

As they whisper holy things

A mass of tears have transformed to stones now

Sharpened on suffering

And woven into slings

Hope lies in the rubble of this rich fortress

Taking today what tomorrow never brings

This is the new sound

Just like the old sound

Just like the noose wound

Over the new ground

Ain’t it funny how the factory doors close

Round the time that the school doors close

Round the time that the doors of the jail cells

Open up to greet you like the reaper

Ain’t it funny how the factory doors close

Round the time that the school doors close

Round the time that the doors of the jail cells

Open up to greet you like the reaper

This is the new sound

Just like the old sound

Just like the noose wound

Over the new ground

Like ashes in the fall

U2 - Flower Child

(All you know, you don’t know yet)

On the fifth day of may, she was breaking away

When the moon came and sat on your shoulder

She was still young, not yet highly strung

As you need to be when you get older

George was a street, when you first faced the feat

You put money on the color of the sky

Well the color of her voice left you there with no choice

But to drink the Liffey dry

The seeds that you sow

You wanna watch them growing

Wild, you grow wild

You grow wild in my heart

Wild, you grow wild

You grow wild in my heart

Here comes Holy Joe, now how would he know

How laughter can make a man cruel

It’s fire on fire, and lovers conspire

To either a duet or duel

When it’s fire on fire, the flames just get higher

The harder you work to put them out

Well you know that you’re similar, sugar and weedkiller

Both heading north facing south

The seeds that you sow

You wanna watch them growing

Wild, you grow wild

You grow wild in my heart

Wild, you grow wild

You grow wild in my heart

Wild…

(Hush)

What’s on your breath is it fear of death

That makes such a man promiscuous

Your mouth was dry like when you were about to lie

And her lips are so luscious

You’ve seen it before, you hurled at her door

Like a dog when she needed a man

Now she aches and she breaks, and she takes

On the weight of your world, ‘cause she almost can

The seeds that you sow

Well you wanna watch them growing

The wind, where will it blow

My flower child

Growing wild, you grow wild

You grow wild in my heart

Wild, you grow wild

You grow wild in my heart

Wild…

The sky was steel grey, up on Appian Way

As the yellow hats dug up the road

Didn’t hear what you said, as the lights turned red

On a love that should have stayed gold

Gold

(This the verse or the chorus?)

Wild, you grow wild

You grow wild in my heart

Wild, you grow wild

You grow wild in my heart

Wild, you grow wild

You grow wild in my heart

Wild, you grow wild

You grow wild in my heart

Sonic Youth - Stereo Sanctity

I'm keeping my commission

To faith's transmission

Two speakers dream the same

And skies turn red

Satellites flashing down Orchard and Delancey

I can't get laid cuz everyone is dead

Hey - gold connections

Analog soul waving in your hair

Hey - hylozoic directions

She's talking blue streaks everywhere

Your spirit is time-reversed to your body

Stereographic mix-up field on field

It started growing up the day your body dies

Only apparently real to irreal

Hey - stereo stations

Perfect image, kneel down

Hey - hypostatic information

Come on let's hear you turn it around

Mogwai - Kill Jester

...

Smashing Pumpkins - Steps in Time

Can you
Can you hear me?
Can you feel?
You feel me?

Written as a birthright
On pregnant bough, a guarded night
Is it more than what you'd bargained for

Steps in time
We're steps in time

Risen to the fore
Yet rotten to our core
More has ceded more
Where history divides

Do you love me?
I'm shouting out
Will you need me now?
I've had it all
But the honor
Sha-la-la
Sha-la-la
Will you love me?
Shouting out what the ages brought
And triumph not what goes reeling
Sha-la-la
Sha-la-la
Sha-la-la
Sha-la-la

Dream-dream of new dreams
It's the cream of blessed shock
Boy, your gift ain't squandered
Boy, your head screams artifice
To the aught Decembrists we bid bye-bye

Steps in time
We're steps in time

Risen to the fore
Yet rotten to our core
More has ceded more
Where history divides

Do you love me?
I'm shouting out
Will you need me now?
I've had it all
But the honor
Sha-la-la
Sha-la-la
Will you love me?
Shouting out what the ages brought
And triumph not what goes reeling
Sha-la-la
Sha-la-la
Sha-la-la
Sha-la-la

Florence And The Machine - My Love

I was always able to write my way out

Song always made sense to me

Now I find that when I look down

Every page is empty

There is nothing to describe

Except the moon still bright against the worrying sky

I pray the trees will get their leaves soon

So tell me where to put my love

Do I wait for time to do what it does?

I don't know where to put my love

And when it came, it was stranger than I had ever imagined

No cracking open of heaven

But quiet and still (All my friends are getting ill)

So tell me where to put my love

Do I wait for time to do what it does?

I don't know where to put my love

So tell me where to put my love

Do I wait for time to do what it does?

I don't know where to put my love

My arms emptied, the skies emptied

The billboards emptied

My arms emptied, the skies emptied

The buildings emptied

So tell me where to put my love

Do I wait for time to do what it does?

I don't know where to put my love

So tell me where to put my love

Do I wait for time to do what it does?

I don't know where to put my love

My arms emptied, the skies emptied

The billboards emptied

My arms emptied, the skies emptied

The buildings emptied

Garbage - I Hate Love

Your words are pretty but I already know who you are

I knew you before you met me long before we would part

Before you tricked me and laid on my bones

Before you kissed me and buried my hope

Before you stole my spirit and rode the show into the wall

Shore you up. They lay all their dreams on you

They let you in and you start to believe you're soft as a miracle

Unfurled, I was new and unfurled

Innocent and open as any lamb and hoping for paradise

Yeah I hate love

Yeah I hate love

So I hate love

Yeah I hate love

Love leaves you desperate and feeling a fool

Love makes you ruthless and love makes you cruel

And love makes you crazy with nothing but lies

Love promises nothing and then your love dies

Unfurled, I was new and unfurled

Innocent and open as any lamb and hoping for paradise

Yeah I hate love

Yeah I hate love

So I hate love

Yeah I hate love

(Hey, it's me. Call me)

Then your love dies

(It's 2 AM, where are you?)

Then your love dies

(Where are you?)

Then your love dies

(Can you call me? Can you call me back?)

The Kills - Run Home Slow

You play with dogs

You lay with the dogs

You like it or not man

You lay with the dogs

Chewing your fingers

And rattling your mouth

Four and twenty hours

Just to wait for the sound

It's easily done my friend

It's easily done my friend

And you're wild for the night

And you run home slow

And you're wild for the night

And you run home slow

You lay with the dogs man

You lay with the dogs

A little too long man

You lay with the dogs

Chasing their taillights

And jumping their bones

Four and twenty hours

Till they take you on home

It's easily done my friend

Just take it and run, my friend

It's easily done

It's easily done

I'd easily do it again

And you're wild for the night

And you run home slow

And you holler and cry

And you run home slow

And you're hit and you're down

And you run home slow, little pony

Took a cherry, took a twenty

Took my skin and took my bone

Took a car and took a hit

And took myself far away from home

Took your card and took your messages

And took a look and then

Took a walk and turned around

And took a look again

You took my boots, you took my keys

And took a twenty, took a ten

Took your calls and your warnings about calling again

And you're wild for the night

And you run home slow

And you holler and cry

And you run home slow

And you're hit and you're down

And you run home slow, little pony

It's easily done my friend

Just take it and run my friend

It's easily done

It's easily done

I've easily done it again

And you're wild for the night

And you run home slow

And you holler and cry

And you run home slow

And you bitch and you whine

And you run home slow, little pony

Took your card and took your messages

And took a look and then

Took a walk and turned around

And took a look again

You took my boots, you took my keys

You took a twenty and took a ten

Took your calls and your warnings about calling again

And you're wild for the night

And you run home slow

And you're wild for the night

And you run home slow

And you're wild for the night

And you run home slow, little pony

Little pony

Little pony

Little pony

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Stranger Than Kindness

Stranger than kindness
Bottled light from hotels
Spilling everything
Wet hand from the volcano
Sobers your skin
Stranger than kindness

You caress yourself
And grind my soft cold bones below
Your map of desire
Burned in your flesh
Even a fool can come
A strange lit stair
And find a rope hanging there
Stranger than kindness

Keys rain like heaven’s hair
There is no home there is no bread
We sit at the gate and scratch
The gaunt fruit of passion
Dies in the light
Stranger than kindness

Your sleeping hands journey
They loiter
Stranger than kindness
You hold me so carelessly close
Tell me I’m dirty
Stranger than kindness

Sharon Van Etten - Far Away

Been down on myself,
Said won’t go back.
Been there,
My mother might say you were right.

Doesn’t matter where she is
(not far)
I’ll be here for a little while,
Then not gone
(long.)
Don’t know what it is so far.
I’ll be here.
Not only when you feel long lost.

Sitting there,
Wet mess,
We held til the sun came up.
Are you aware last steps realize?

Doesn’t matter where she is
(not far)
I’ll be here for a little while,
Then not gone
(long.)
Don’t know what it is so far.
I’ll be here.
Not only when you feel long lost.

Long gone I’ll see you far away.
Long gone I’ll see you far away.
Long gone I’ll see you far away.
Long gone I’ll see you far away.
Long gone I’ll see you far away.
Long gone I’ll see you far away.
Long gone I’ll see you far away.
Long gone I’ll see you far away.

Long gone I’ll see you far away.
Long gone I’ll see you far away.

Pearl Jam - Once

I admit it...what's to say...yeah...

I'll relive it...without pain...mmm...

Backstreet lover on the side of the road

I got a bomb in my temple that is gonna explode

I got a sixteen gauge buried under my clothes, I play...

Once upon a time I could control myself

Ooh, once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah...

Oh, try and mimic what's insane...ooh, yeah...

I am in it...where do I stand?

Oh, Indian summer and I hate the heat

I got a backstreet lover on the passenger seat

I got my hand in my pocket, so determined, discreet...I pray...

Once upon a time I could control myself

Ooh, once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah, yeah...

You think I got my eyes closed

But I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time...

Ooh, once upon a time I could control myself, yeah...

Once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah, yeah, yeah...

Once, upon a time I could love myself, yeah...

Once upon a time I could love you, yeah, yeah, yeah...

Once

Yeah...once, once...yeah, yeah...

Yeah...yeah, yeah...yeah, yeah...oww...

This Mortal Coil - I Am The Cosmos

Every night I tell myself

"I am the cosmos, I am the wind"

But that don't get you back again

Just when I was starting to feel okay

They're on the phone

I never wanna be alone

I never wanna be alone

I'd hate to have to take you home

Want you too much to say no, no

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Never wanna be alone

I'd hate to have to take you home

Want you too much to say no

No, yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)

Yeah, yeah, yeah

My feeling's always having something I couldn't hide

I can't comply

Don't know what's going on inside

So every night I tell myself

"I am the cosmos, I am the wind"

But that don't get you back again

I'd really like to see you again

I really wanna see you again

I'd really like to see you again

I never wanna see you again

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Shallow Be Thy Game

I was not created in the likeness of a fraud

Your hell is something scary, I prefer a loving God

We are not the center of this funny universe

And what is worse, I do not serve in fear of such a curse

Shallow be thy game, 2000 years, look in the mirror

You play the game of shame and tell your people live in fear

A rival to the way you see, the Bible let him be

I'm a threat to your survival and your control company

You'll never burn me, you'll never burn me

I will be your heretic, yeah

You can't contain me, I am the power free

Truth belongs to everybody

To anyone who's listening, you're not born into sin

The guilt they try and give you, puke it in the nearest bin

Missionary madness sweep up culture with a broom

Trashing ancient ways is par for the course, it's fuckin' rude

To think that you're above the laws of nature, what a joke

Purple sashes, feeding masses, smoke on which to choke

I might be a monkey when it comes to being holy

Fundamental hatred get down on your knees and

You'll never burn me, you'll never burn me

I will be your heretic, yeah

You can't contain me, I am the power free

Truth belongs to everybody

Oh yeah

I was not created in the likeness of a fraud

Your hell is something scary, I prefer a loving God

We are not the center of this funny universe

And what is worse, I do not serve in fear of such a

You'll never burn me, you'll never burn me

I will be your heretic, yeah

You can't contain me, I am the power free

Truth belongs to everybody

You'll never burn me, you'll never burn me

I will be your heretic, yeah

You can't contain me, I am the power free

Truth belongs to everybody

The Gathering - Grounded

We met like strangers
For the first time around
It's like my feet took off
Searching for the ground
And acting casually
We talked about the rain
Talked about the rain
Talked about the rain
Talked about the rain

Clouded by those words
I could not see the graceful birds
Taking off and crossing the sea

And it was pouring
And I was the one to blame
The hollow echoes
Of a time gone by so slow
My voice is fading and
Tuning in so low
Tuning in so low

Linkin Park - Shadow Of The Day

I close both locks below the window

I close both blinds and turn away

Sometimes solutions aren't so simple

Sometimes goodbye's the only way

And the sun will set for you

The sun will set for you

And the shadow of the day

Will embrace the world in grey

And the sun will set for you

In cards and flowers on your window

Your friends all plead for you to stay

Sometimes beginnings aren't so simple

Sometimes goodbye's the only way

And the sun will set for you

The sun will set for you

And the shadow of the day

Will embrace the world in grey

And the sun will set for you

And the shadow of the day

Will embrace the world in grey

And the sun will set for you

And the shadow of the day

Will embrace the world in grey

And the sun will set for you
