Guns N' Roses - Dust N' Bones

He lost his mind today

He left it out back on the highway

I-65

She loved him yesterday

Yesterday's over, I said, "Okay, that's alright"

Time moves on, that's the way

We live in hope to see the next day, but that's alright

Sometimes, these things, they are so easy

Sometimes, these things, they are so cold

Sometimes, these things just seem to rip you right in two

Oh no, man, don't let 'em get to you

Oh yeah, ow, yeah

She loved him yesterday

He laid her sister, she said, "Okay, that's alright"

Buried her things today

Way back out, deep behind the driveway and that's alright

Sometimes, these women are so easy

Sometimes, these women are so cold

Sometimes, these women seem to rip you right in two

Only if you let 'em get to you

Oh, oh yeah

Get out on your own

And you take all that you own

And you get up out your home

And then you're just fucking gone

There's no logic here, today

Do as you got to, go your own way, I said, "That's right"

Time's short, your life's your own

And in the end, we are just

Dust an' bones

Dust an' bones

Dust an' bones

An' that's all right, dust an' bone

An' that's all right, dust an' bone

An' that's all right, dust an' bone

An' that's all right, dust an' bone

An' that's all right, dust an' bone

An' that's all right, dust an' bone

An' that's all right, dust an' bone

An' that's all right, dust an' bone

U2 - Angel Of Harlem

It was a cold and wet December day

When we touched the ground at J.F.K.

The snow was melting on the ground

On B.L.S. I heard the sound

(Of an angel).

New York like a Christmas tree

Tonight, this city belongs to me,

(Angel).

Soul love

Well this love won't let me go.

So long

Angel of Harlem.

Birdland on Fifty-Three

The street sounds like a symphony

We got John Coltrane and a love supreme

Miles and she's got to be an angel.

Lady Day got diamond eyes

She sees the truth behind the lies

(Angel).

Soul love

Well this love won't let me go.

So long

Angel of Harlem.

Blue light on the avenue

God knows they got to you

Empty glass, the lady sings

Eyes swollen like a bee-sting.

Blinded, you lost your way

In the side streets and the alleyways

Like a star exploding in the night

Filling up the city with broad daylight.

Angel in devil's shoes

Salvation in the blues

You never looked like an angel

Angel of Harlem.

Anna von Hausswolff - The Truth, The Glow, The Fall

[Part 1 - The Truth]

After the fall

After the fall

After the fall

I'll find you

After the fall

After the fall

After the fall

I'll find you

Unexpected out from nowhere

Was the truth told for me

From his heart and from his sadness

He sadly sang for me

Can you hear the song?

Can you hear the song?

Can you hear the song?

It haunts you

It haunts you

[Part 2 - The Glow]

My sweet John

My dear John

Oh my love

My sweet John

My dear John

Oh my love

Are we touching the magic?

Are we wearing the white angel's glow

Surrounded by mountains

In a valley free from the snow

Will we fall?

Will we fall where we fall?

Will we fall?

Will we fall where we fall?

Oh down in the river

Down to the bodies below

Oh down in the chaos

Driven by black magic glow

My sweet John

My dear John

Oh my love

Will we fall?

Will we fall where we fall?

[Part 3 - The Fall]

Feel the fall

Feel the fall

Feel the fall

Feel the fall

The Cult - Coming Down (Butchered)

You dirty hippie girl
Your soft lips make me swirl
I despise all of your lies
I'm not the prodigal son
I'm not the chosen one
I'm just a man of good intention

Hey-hey-hey
Come on home
Hey-hey-hey

Your horses terrify me
I can't work out why
The things you say are not ok

Why can't you decide
When you chastise me?
Whoa

Coming down
You baptise me
I don't wanna drown
Yeah, your drug tongue spoken

I'm coming down

You baptise me

Your dying flowers stink
They smell like rotten ink
From a poison pen
So I wrote on your head
Well, just how deep you'll go
From whence you came, and don't you know?
Whoa, innocence
Your winter's so harsh in your heart

Vampire Weekend - Unbearably White

Baby, I love you

But that's not enough

And pulling away has been unbearably buff

I ran up the mountain

Out of your sight

The snow on the peak was just unbearably white

The city was freezing

An elegant flow

The wind at the doorway was unbearably cold

You walked through the bedroom

And sat down to write

The page in your notebook was unbearably white

There's an avalanche coming

Don't cover your eyes

It's what you thought that you wanted

It's still a surprise

It's hard on the body

It's hard on the mind

To learn what kept us together, darling

Is what kept us alive

Sooner or later

The story gets told

To tell it myself would be unbearably bold

Presented with darkness

We turn to the light

Could've been smart, we're just unbearably bright

There's an avalanche coming

Don't cover your eyes

It's what you thought that you wanted

It's still a surprise

It's hard on the body

It's hard on the mind

To learn what kept us together, darling

Is what kept us alive

Call it a day

Call it a night

Careless and cold

And just unbearably white

Call it a day

Call it a night

Careless and cold

And just unbearably white

Call it a day

Call it a night

Careless and cold

And just unbearably white

Baby, I love you

But that's not enough

And pulling all the weight has been unbearably buff

I ran up the mountain

Out of your sight

The snow on the peak was just unbearably white

Call it a day

Call it a night

Careless and cold

And just unbearably white

Massive Attack - Future Proof

Borderline cases

Reinforced glass

Absent friends

Passport photos

An elastic past

Empty pocket

They think it is all...

They think it's soul

All wrapped up on a swollen lip

He draws the warm pipe.

Chemicals

Chemicals captured in winter's grip

Turn us on

Seperate the leper

Hungry ghosts

Hungry ghosts

Another imprint

In borrowed clothes

We can be numb

We can be numb

Passing through

Blow blow blow blow

Borderline case

Future proof

Real thin air

Real thin air

Real thin air

Led Zeppelin - Out On The Tiles

As I walk down the highway

All I do is sing a song

And a train that's passing my way

Helps the rhythm move along

There is no doubt about the words are clear

The voice is strong, it's oh so strong

I'm just a simple guy

I live from day to day

A ray of sunshine melts my frown

And blows my blues away

There's nothing more that I can say

But on a day like today I pass the time away

And walk a quiet mile with you

All I need from you is all your love

All you got to give to me is all your love

All I need from you is all your love

All you got to give to me is all your love

Ooh yeah, ooh yeah

Ooh yeah, ooh yeah

I'm so glad I'm living

Gonna tell the world I am

I got me a fine woman

And she says that I'm her man

One thing that I know for sure

Gonna give her all the loving

Like nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody can

Standing in the noonday sun

Trying to flag a ride

People go and people come

See my rider right by my side

It's a total disgrace, they set the pace

It must be a race and the best thing I can do is run

All I need from you is all your love

All you got to give to me is all your love

All I need from you is all your love

All you got to give to me is all your love

Ooh yeah, ooh yeah

Ooh yeah, ooh yeah

Ah yeah, ah yeah, ah yeah

Oh, da da da 70 more

All I do is say let's keep on

Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah

Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah

Aah ah ah yeah yeah

Aaaahhh yeah yeah

Cocteau Twins - I Wear Your Ring

You don't feel damned between the sunrise and sunset

You're damned well panicky, I know the rainy days

Please them or run on the turf

You could be raising money with your momma

U2 - Sweetest Thing (Single mix)

My love, she throws me like a rubber ball

(Oh, the sweetest thing.)

But she won't catch me or break my fall.

(Oh, the sweetest thing.)

Baby's got blue skies up ahead

But in this, I'm a raincloud

You know she wants a dry kind of love.

(Oh, the sweetest thing.)

I'm losin' you, I'm losin' you

Ain't love the sweetest thing?

I wanted to run, but she made me crawl

(Oh, the sweetest thing.)

Eternal fire, she turned me to straw.

(Oh, the sweetest thing.)

I know I got black eyes

But they burn so brightly for her

I guess it's a blind kind of love.

(Oh, the sweetest thing.)

I'm losin' you, I'm losin' you

Ain't love the sweetest thing?

Ain't love the sweetest thing?

Blue-eyed boy meets a brown-eyed girl.

(Oh, the sweetest thing.)

You can sew it up, but you still see the tear.

(Oh, the sweetest thing.)

Baby's got blue skies up ahead

But in this, I'm a rain-cloud,

Ours is a stormy kind of love.

(Oh, the sweetest thing.)

The Mission - Sweet Smile Of A Mystery

Man seeks the wisdom of woman

Man needs the comfort of her breast

Like a babe in arms, a suckling child

She keeps me safe and warm

In pressing it on test it and strong

She stands before me naked and bare

But woman

You are the sweet smile of a mystery to me

Woman reaches out across eternity

She brings out the hope, the fear and the child

She brings out the very essence of me

She's the maid of heaven, she's mother of earth

She's nature's child, she's the virgin birth

She's my sister, she's my mother

She's my daughter and she's my lover

But woman, woman

You are the sweet smile of a mystery to me

Megadeth - Bullet To The Brain

No one knows what draws the moth to the flame

And nothing costs as much as playing the game

She had to know, know, know... he'd give love for sex

He had to know, know, know... she'd give sex for love

The taste, touching his tongue, sweet to his lips

Poison, now penetrating deeper

Betrayed by just one bite, for just one night

To find forbidden fruit tastes sweeter

Just like pressing a loaded gun to your head

One knows only the spider can navigate its web

She had to know, know, know... he'd get what he wants

He had to know, know, know... she'd get what she needs

Soon under the spell, emotions are high

Mind control penetrating deeper

The hex was cast on him, all he believes

Now is forbidden fruit tastes sweeter

She had to know, know, know... he'd win at the start

He had to know, know, know... she'd win in the end

His one last thought blew his mind, bullet to the brain

Hot lead was penetrating deeper

Just one reckless shot squeezed from the hand

That knows forbidden fruit tastes sweeter

Bauhaus - Hollow Hills

Ancient earthwork, fort and barrow

Discreetly hide their secret abodes

The most fearful hide deep inside

And venture not there upon Yuletide

For invasion of their hollow hills

That music hold and Oberon fill

Is surely recommended not

For fear of death, in fear of rot

Hollow hills

Hollow hills

Hollow hills

Hollow hills

Baleful sound and wild voices ignored

Ill luck, disaster - the one reward

Violated sanctity of supermen's hills

So sad (hollow hills)

Love lies there still (hollow hills)

So sad (hollow hills)

So sad (hollow hills)

Hollow hills (hollow hills)

Hollow hills (hollow hills)

Hollow hills

Hollow hills

And witches too, and goblin's too

And speckled sills

Lament, repent

Oh mortal you (oh mortal you)

So sad (hollow hills), so sad

So sad, so sad...

New Order - Working Overtime

Who’s that over there

Looks like he don’t care

Almost lost his mind

Too much working overtime

Gotta get out every night

City gates are open wide

Gotta get away from here

Take that car and push that gear

He don’t need no one

He’s the rising sun

He won’t shed no tears

Got no time to break down here

Hey

He’s going nowhere fast

Just a piece of dirty trash

All alone, by his self

He don’t need nobody else

Walking down the street

So much going on

People everywhere

Look at him but they don’t care

See that world out there

Make it go away

You can’t change his mind

Too much working overtime

Hey

Overtime

Hey

Overtime

Hey

Overtime

Hey

Overtime

Hey

Overtime

Overtime

Overtime

Overtime

He crossed that picket line

In trouble all the time

Where did it all go wrong

House music all night long

All those girls out there

Looking for the one

Do they really care

Could they just be having fun

He did all he could

Tried to get it right

Somewhere he went wrong

Too much working overtime

Hey

Overtime

Hey

Overtime

Hey

Overtime

Hey

Overtime

Hey

Overtime

The Naked And Famous - Easy

All is fair

In love and poor

Decisions that get made for the ones we adore

And love it's not

One temporary escape

I can't do this anymore, I can't carry the weight

I have everything I need

But I don't need everything I have

It's not personal

It's just everything you make me feel

It's not personal

Every time you leave I have to heal

Honey, I don't know how to make leaving easy

For you or me

Love it's not a phase

It's a permanent state

We're dramatically static when I consider the race...

To get my head to a positive place

While you're saying that it's fucked before we're out of the gate

I have everything I need

But I don't need everything I have

It's not personal

It's just everything you make me feel

It's not personal

Every time you leave I have to heal

Honey, I don't know how to make leaving easy

For you or me

Leaving easy

On you or me

Oh it's driving me insane

Doing the same thing over and over again

And nothing changes

Nothing changes

Honey, I don't know how to make leaving easy

For you or me

Leaving easy

On you or me

The Strokes - Why Are Sunday's So Depressing

I sing a song

I paint a picture

My baby's gone

And I don't miss her

Like a swan

I don't miss swimming

All my friends left

And they don't miss me

Can't take it, babe

Your body talks to me

Like in a movie, babe

I let it resonate, yeah

I want your time (Time, time)

Don't ask me questions (Questions, questions)

That you don't want (Want, want)

The answers to (To, to)

I love you in the morning, so you know it's no lie

You're hiding in the background, but you wanna be found

You've got me on my back and now I've gotta think fast

You're hiding in the background, but you wanna be found

I take it easy, babe, I

I get down, it's automatic, I

I've come to believe in that

That too much time is evil

I transition in

I'm making your body wait

Like on an aeroplane

Please baby, take me away, yeah

I want your time (Time, time)

Don't ask me questions (Questions, questions)

That you don't want (Want, want)

The answers to (To, to)

I know

I know

I know

I know

I kinda miss the nine to five, yeah

Do those things that you can't hide

I scramble, fight just like a child

I'm staying hungry

I'm staying hungry

I'm staying hungry

I'm staying hungry

Not getting angry

I'm staying hungry

Not getting angry

Still staying hungry, yeah

Hold on, hold on, hold

The click was always in you Fab

It was never on

It was never on

Cat Power - Here Comes A Regular

Well, a person can work up a mean, mean thirst
After a hard day of nothin' much at all
Summer's passed, it's too late to cut the grass
Ain't much to rake anyway in the fall
Sometimes I just ain't in the mood
To take my place in the back with the hard knocks
Like a picture on the fridge that's never stocked with food
I used to live at home, now I stay in the house

And everybody wants to be special here
I call out your name
Here comes a regular
Am I the only one here today?

Well, a drinkin' buddy that's bound to another town
Once the police made you go away
And even if you're in the arms of someone's baby, now
I'll take a great big whiskey to you anyway
And everybody wants to be someone's here
Someone's gonna show up, never fear

'Cause here comes a regular
Call out your name
Here comes a regular
Am I the only one who feels ashamed?

Kneeling along sad, old set eyes
He says
"Opportunity knocks once, then the door slams shut"
All I know is I'm sick of everything that my money can buy
The fool who wastes his life, God rest his guts
First the lights, then the collar goes up and the wind begins to blow
Turn your back on a pay-you-back, last call
First the glass, then the leaves that pass, then comes the snow
Ain't much to rake anyway in the fall

Here comes a regular
Call out your name
Here comes a regular
Am I the only one here today?

(originally recorded by The Replacements)

Coldplay - Don't Let it Break Your Heart

And if I lost the map

If I lost it all

Or fell into the trap

Then she’d call

‘When you’re tired of racing

And you find you never left the start

Come on baby

Don’t let it break your heart’

Though heavily we bled

Still on we crawl

Try to catch a cannonball

And a slowly burning tide

Through my veins is flowing

From my shipwreck I heard her call

She said ‘When you’re tired of aiming your arrows

Still you never hit the mark

Even in your rains and shadows

Still we’re never going to part

Come on baby

Don’t let it break your heart

Oh oh oh oh oh

Don’t let it break your heart

Oh oh oh oh oh

Don’t let it break your heart

Don’t let it break your heart

Green Day - Homecoming

[Part 1: The Death Of St. Jimmy]

My heart is beating from me

I am standing all alone

Please call me only if you are coming home

Waste another year flies by

Waste a night or two

You taught me how to live

In the streets of shame

Where you've lost your dreams in the rain

There's no signs of hope

The stems and seeds of the last of the dope

There's a glow of light

The St. Jimmy is the spark in the night

Bearing gifts and trust

The fixture in the city of lust

What the hell's your name?

What's your pleasure and what is your pain?

Do you dream too much?

Do you think what you need is a crutch?

In the crowd of pain

St. Jimmy comes without any shame

He says, "We're fucked up," but we're not the same

And mom and dad are the ones you can blame

Jimmy died today

He blew his brains out into the bay

In the state of mind

It's my own private suicide

[Part 2: East 12th St.]

Well, nobody cares

Well, nobody cares

Does anyone care if nobody cares?

Well, nobody cares

Well, nobody cares

Does anyone care if nobody cares?

Jesus filling out paperwork now

At the facility on East 12th St

He's not listening to a word now

He's in his own world and he's daydreaming

He'd rather be doing something else now

Like cigarettes and coffee with the underbelly

His life's on the line with anxiety now

And she had enough, and he had plenty

Somebody get me out of here

Anybody get me out of here

Somebody get me out of here

Get me the fuck right out of here

So far away

I don't want to stay

Get me out of here right now

I just wanna be free

Is there a possibility?

Get me out of here right now

(Out, out, out, out) Right!

This life like dream ain't for me

[Part 3: Nobody Likes You!]

I fell asleep while watching Spike TV

After 10 cups of coffee and you're still not here

Dreaming of a song

But something went wrong

And you can't tell anyone

'Cause no one's here

Left me here alone

And I should have stayed home

After 10 cups of coffee I'm thinking

(Where'd you go?)

Nobody likes you, everyone left you

(Where'd you go?)

They're all out without you havin' fun

(Where'd you go?)

Everyone left you, nobody likes you

(Where'd you go?)

They're all out without you havin' fun

(Where'd you go..go..go..go..)

[Part 4: Rock And Roll Girlfriend]

Geez! [*sigh*]

I got a rock and roll band

I got a rock and roll life

I got a rock and roll girlfriend

And another ex-wife

I got a rock and roll house

I got a rock and roll car

I play the shit out the drums

And I can play the guitar

I got a kid in New York

I got a kid in The Bay

I haven't drank or smoked nothin'

In over 22 days

(Don't wanna be an American idiot)

So get off my case

Off of my case

Off of my case

[Part 5: We're Coming Home Again]

Here they come marching down the street

Like a desperation murmur of a heart beat

Coming back from the edge of town

Underneath their feet

Their time has come and it's going nowhere

Nobody ever said that life was fair now

Go-carts and guns are treasures they will bear

n the summer heat

The world is spinning 'round

And 'round out of control again

The 7-11 to the fear of breaking down

So send my love a letterbomb

And visit me in hell

We're the ones going

Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again

I started fuckin' running

As soon as my feet touched ground

We're back in the Barrio

But to you and me, that's Jingle Town that's

Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again

(You! Fuck off! Just go! I don't care! I don't! I don't know! I smashed my phone! Just go! I don't care! I don't! I don't know! I smashed my phone!)

Nobody likes you

Everyone left you

They're all out without you havin' fun

Paradise Lost - Hands Of Reason

I speak of people, whose game is disguise

The myth of flavour appears with no sign

‘Cause I see it coming, just like a long lost friend

A temple of rubble, the low and blind betray

Inane the pleasures that leave a sorry state

You’re told of treasures, indulgence cannot wait

But wait for tomorrow, and steal some sanity

Insane thoughts are borrowed, unable to repay them back

As I now fall – Fall into deprivation

Fall – Fallen, there’s still tomorrow

Love hides the things you’ll never know

A lack of reason that makes a mortal man

Untold the treason, the past where it began

‘Cause I see the horror – Horror to think about

Insane thoughts are borrowed, unable to repay them back

As I see the blood – Blood on the hands of reason

Blood – Bloody the hands that lead me

Love for the ones you cannot know

The Pogues - Sit Down By The Fire

Sit down by the fire

And I'll tell you a story

To send you away to your bed

Of the things you hear creeping

When everyone's sleeping

And you wish you were out here instead

It isn't the mice in the wall

It isn't the wind in the well

But each night they march

Out of that hole in the wall

Passing through on their way

Out of hell

They're the things that you see

When you wake up and scream

The cold things that follow you

Down the Boreen

They live in the small ring of trees on the hill

Up at the top of the field

And they dance on the rain

And they dance on the wind

They tap on the window

When no-one is in

And if ever you see them

Pretend that you're dead

Or they'll bite off your head

They'll rip out your liver

And dance on your neck

They dance on your head

They dance on your chest

They give you the cramp

And the cholic for jest

They're the things that you see

When you wake up and scream

The cold things that follow you

Down the Boreen

They live in the small ring of trees on the hill

Up at the top of the field

They play on the wind

They sing on the rain

They dance on your eyes

They dance in your brain

Remember this place

It is damp and it's cold

The best place on earth

But it's dark and it's old

So lie near the wall

And cover your head

Good night and God bless,

Now fuck off to bed

L7 - Can I Run

Are these sensible shoes on my feet

I wear my shades so our eyes don't meet

I'm scared every fuckin' day

I wear my headphones so I can't hear what you say

Can I run

Switch to paranoid from having fun

Will he use his hands, knife, or a gun

Knuckles are white, wrapped around my mace

Comes from living in a terrorist state

Can I run

When he's following me

He's not my brother, he's my enemy

Is he behind the door or in back of the tree

Is he under the bed, is he in the back street

Can I run

Peter Murphy - Seesaw Sway

I failed to see into your eyes

As I plundered the sky

I’m a winder of words

And you free to pry

She’s luning at the moon

I’ve been looking her way

For twenty-three summers now

In a seesaw sway

Out there it’s a seesaw

(In a seesaw sway)

As I plunder the sky

(In a seesaw sway)

Out there it’s a seesaw

(In a seesaw sway)

Out there

The luna the better

(The luna the better)

I’m a crater uplifter

(I’m a crater uplifter)

I talk from a dream

(I talk from a dream)

It’s our seesaw sway

Out there it’s a seesaw

(In a seesaw sway)

As I plunder the sky

(In a seesaw sway)

Out there it’s a seesaw

(In a seesaw sway)

Out there

Oh, what’s the matter with this?

It all rests with you

I’m not a linger for the bitter

Pills, coin, or gold

No killdrill river

Nor young or fey

I’m a seer of goodness things

In our seesaw sway

Out there it’s a seesaw

(In a seesaw sway)

As I plunder the sky

(In a seesaw sway)

Out there it’s a seesaw

(In a seesaw sway)

Out there

Seesaw

Seesaw

Seesaw

Seesaw

Seesaw

Seesaw

Seesaw

Seesaw

Out there it’s a seesaw

(In a seesaw sway)

As I plunder the sky

(In a seesaw sway)

Out there it’s a seesaw

(In a seesaw sway)

Out there

In our seesaw sway

U2 - Silver And Gold

In the shithouse a shotgun

Praying hands hold me down.

If only the hunter was hunted

In this tin can town, tin can town.

No stars in the black night

Looks like the sky fall down.

No sun in the daylight

Looks like it's chained to the ground, chained to the ground.

The warden says "The exodus sold."

If you want a way out...

Silver and gold, silver and gold.

Broken back to the ceiling

Broken nose to the floor.

I scream at the silence

It's crawling, crawls under the door.

There's a rope around my neck

And there's a trigger in your gun.

Jesus, say something!

I am someone, I am someone.

Captains and Kings in the ship's hold

They came to collect

Silver and gold, silver and gold.

I seen the coming and the going

Seen the captains and the Kings.

Seen their navy blue uniforms

Seen them bright and shiny things, bright and shiny things.

The temperature is rising

The fever white hot

Mister I ain't got nothing

But it's more than you've got

These chains no longer bind me

Nor the shackles at my feet

Outside are the prisoners

Inside the free (set them free).

A prize fighter in a corner is told

Hit where it hurts - For Silver and Gold

You can stop the world from turning around

You just gotta pay a penny in the pound.

Editors - Marching Orders

I can't open my mind

But there's the makings of a dreamer in you

In these desperate times

I'm walking home, walking home to you

I will fall with the rain

I will flicker with the flame, the fire

I used to write down my dreams

Now they're gone when my eyes open on you

Well, even though you fucked up

There's still the makings of a dreamer in you

I will fall with the rain

I will flicker with the flame

I will fall with the rain

I will flicker with the flame, the fire, fire

These are the marching orders

These are the rules that we break

These are the doubts we cling to

Trying to give more, trying to give more

These are the marching orders

These are the rules that we break

These are the doubts we cling to

Trying to give more, trying to give more than we take

Trying to give more, trying to give more

These are the marching orders

These are the rules that we break

These are the doubts we cling to

Trying to give more, trying to give more

(Trying to give more, trying to give more)

Trying to give more

Trying to give more

(Trying to give more, trying to give more)

(Trying to give more, trying to give more)

(Trying to give more, trying to give more)

Joy Division - The Only Mistake

Made the fatal mistake,

Like I did once before,

A tendency just to take,

Till the purpose turned sour,

Strain, take the strain, these days we love,

Strain, take the strain, these days we love.

Yeah, the only mistake was that you ran away,

Avenues lined with trees, strangled words for the day,

Yeah, the only mistake, like I made once before,

Yeah, the only mistake, could have made it before.

Strain, take the strain, these days we love,

Strain, take the strain, these days we love.

And the only mistake, led to rumours unfound,

Led to pressures unknown, different feelings and sounds,

Yeah, the only mistake, like I made once before,

Yeah, the only mistake, could have made it before.

The Cramps - I Can't Hardly Stand It

Well, the sun's gone down

And you're just out runnin' around

You got me all tore up, all tore up

You say you're trough with me

You're settin' me free

You're just out with your used-to-be

You're troublin' me

I can't hardly stand

It just can't be

Well, you don't know, a-babe I love you so

You got me all tore up, all tore up

Well, my spirit's low

It just can't be

Well, you don't know, a-babe I love you so

You got me all tore up, all tore up

Well, you don't know, a-babe I love you so

You got me all tore up, all tore up

Baby, all tore up

Baby, all tore up

All tore up...
