Placebo - A Million Little Pieces

There wasn't much I used to need
A smile would blow a summer breeze through my heart
Now my mistakes are haunting me
Like winter came and put a freeze on my heart

I've lost the power to understand
What it takes to be a man with my heart
I saw you wanted this to end
You tried your best to be a friend to my heart

But I'm leaving this worry town
Please no grieving, my love, understand?

Whenever I was feeling wrong
I used to go and write a song from my heart
But now I feel I've lost my spark
No more glowing in the dark for my heart

So I'm leaving this worry town
Please no grieving, my love, understand?

Understand?
Understand?
Understand?
Understand?

Understand? (Can't you see I'm sick of fighting?)
Understand? (Can't you tell I've lost my way?)
Understand? (Look at me theirs no denying)
Understand? (I wont last another day)

So I'm leaving this worry town
Please no grieving, my love, understand?

Then I'm leaving this worry town
Please no grieving, my love, understand?

All my dreaming torn in pieces
All my dreaming torn in pieces
All my dreaming torn in pieces
All my dreaming torn in pieces now

U2 - Yahweh [Alternate Version]

Take these shoes
Click clacking down some dead end street
Take these shoes
And make them fit
Take this shirt
Polyester white trash made in nowhere
Take this shirt
And make it clean
Take this soul
Stranded in some skin and bones
Take this soul
And make it sing, sing

Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, Yahweh
Still I’m waiting for the dawn

Take these hands
And teach them what to carry
Take these hands
Don’t make a fist, no
Take this mouth
So quick to criticise
Take this mouth
Give it a kiss

Yahweh, Yahweh
Oh the pain before the child is born
Yahweh, Yahweh
Still I’m waiting for the dawn
I’m still waiting…
I’m still waiting for the dawn

Take these blue eyes…
Take these blue eyes…
Take these eyes and make them see
Love is just a drop in the ocean
This love is just a drop in the ocean
Love is just a drop in the ocean

Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, yah waiting for me?
Still I’m waiting for the dawn

Take this city
A city should be shining on a hill
Take this city
If it be your will
What no man can own, no man can take
Take this heart
Take this heart
Take this heart
And make it break

Marilyn Manson - The Nobodies

Today I'm dirty, I want to be pretty
Tomorrow, I know I'm just dirt
Today I'm dirty, I want to be pretty
Tomorrow, I know I'm just dirt

We're the nobodies, wanna be somebodies
We're dead, they'll know just who we are
We're the nobodies, wanna be somebodies
We're dead, they'll know just who we are

Yesterday I was dirty, wanted to be pretty
I know now that I'm forever dirt
Yesterday I was dirty, wanted to be pretty
I know now that I'm forever dirt

We're the nobodies, wanna be somebodies
We're dead, they'll know just who we are
We're the nobodies, wanna be somebodies
We're dead, they'll know just who we are

Some children died the other day
We fed machines and then we prayed
Puked up and down in morbid faith
You should have seen the ratings that day

Some children died the other day
We fed machines and then we prayed
Puked up and down in morbid faith
You should have seen the ratings that day

We're the nobodies, wanna be somebodies

We're dead, they'll know just who we are

This Mortal Coil - 'til I Gain Control Again

Just like the sun over the mountain top
You know I'll always come again
You know I love to spend my morning times
Like sunlight dancing on your skin

What you see is what I've been
There is nothing I could hide from you
You see me better than I can
Out on the roads that lies before me now
There are some turns where I will spin
I only hope that you can hold me now
'til I can gain control again

Like a lighthouse you must stand alone
And mark a sailor's journey's end
Nno matter what seas I have been sailing on
I'll always row this way again

Out on the roads that lie before me now
There are some turns where I will spin
I only hope that you can hold me now
'til I can gain control again

I only hope that you can hold me now
'til I can gain control again

(originally recorded by Emmylou Harris)

God Is An Astronaut - Sunny Banks Of Sweet Deliverance

...

Morrissey - Sunny

We're really missing you
We're really missing you
Oh, and you've only just gone

Oh, well, you punched and fell
Then you felt embarrassed
My heart goes out to you
So I offered love and it was not required
Oh, what else can I do?
What else can I do?

We're really missing you
We're really missing you
And you've only just gone

So, sunny, send at least one thoughtful letter
My heart goes out to you
Tell us all how things are so much better
My heart, it left with you
What else can I do?

Oh, they're not forgiving you
And you're not even wrong

Oh, with your jean belt wrapped around your arm
Oh, sunny, my heart goes out to you
And with a needle pressed onto tight skin
Sunny, I cry when I see
Where it's taken you

I'm here, I won't move
I'm here, I won't move
I'm here, I will not move

Lana Del Rey - Grandfather Please Stand On The Shoulders Of My Father While He's Deep-sea Fishing

Three white butterflies to know you're near

I know they think that it took somebody else
To make me beautiful, beautiful
As they intended me to be
But they're wrong
I know they think that it took thousands of people
To put me together again like an experiment
Some big men behind the scenes
Sewing Frankenstein black dreams into my songs
But they're wrong

God, if you'rе near me, send mе three white butterflies
Or an owl to know know you're listening, sitting while I'm drinking
Grandfather, please stand on the shoulders of my father
While he's deep-sea fishing for sharks in the Pacific

'Cause I'm good in spirit, warm-bodied
A fallible deity wrapped up in white (Oh-oh)
I'm folk, I'm jazz, I'm blue, I'm green
Regrettably, also a white woman (Oh-oh)
But I have good intentions even if I'm one of the last ones
If you don't believe me, my poetry, or my melodies
Feel it in your bones
I have good intentions, even if I'm one of the last ones

Grandfather, please stand on the shoulders of my father
While he's deep-sea fishing for all the things he's wishing
God, if you're near me, send me three white butterflies
Or a map to know your vision, impart on me Your wisdom

It took somebody else to make me beautiful, wonderful
As they intended me to be
But they're wrong

Three white butterflies to know you're near

Depeche Mode - Wagging Tongue

You won't do well to silence me
With your words or wagging tongue
With your long tall tales of sorrow
Your song yet to be sung

I won't be offended
If I'm left across the great divide
Believe me, they will follow
Just to watch another angel die

Watch another angel die
You won't do well to darken me
With your secrets and your lies
With your piercing code of silence
Relax enjoy the ride

I'll meet you by the river
Or maybe on the other side
You find it hard to swallow
When you watch another angel die
Watch another angel die

Another sun is rising
Another day has come
You can find me, I'll be waiting
Until the day is done

I won't be persuaded
Kiss your doubts goodbye
Everything seems hollow
When you watch another angel die

Watch another angel die

This Mortal Coil - Strength of Strings

In my life the piano sings
Brings me words that are not the strength of strings

Fiery rain and Ruby's cooling sun
Now I see that my world has only begun

Notes that roll on winds with swirling wings...
Brings me words that are not the strength of strings

In my life the piano sings
Brings me words that are not the strength of strings

Fiery rain and Ruby's cooling sun
Now I see that my world has only begun

Notes that roll on winds with swirling wings...
Brings me words that are not the strength of strings

The Mission - Running With Scissors

The only way that I'll make the papers
These days is if I load a gun
And fire a bullet into my brain
But then again the hackneyed hacks
Will only write I'm only jumping
Someone else's train it's always the same

And I can't begin to tell you now
How many strange beds I have known
I was never one to kiss and tell
But I do have a scandal to sell

Didn't your mother tell you don't run with scissors?
You might just fall and hurt yourself

They could impale you so don't run with scissors
'Cause being stabbed is not good for your health

No I won't confess all of my sins
'Cause some of my sins are your sins too
I'd rather die on my feet
Than live down on my knees

It's a dangerous game running with scissors
Wouldn't wish you to fall and hurt yourself
It's such a crying shame to see you running with scissors
But stabbing yourself is exactly what you deserve

So why don't you put those scissors down before you hurt someone?

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Cannibal's Hymn

You have a heart and I have a key
Lie back and let me unlock you
Those heathens you hang with down by the sea
All they want to do is defrock you
I know a river, where we can dream
It will swell up, burst it’s banks,
babe, and rock you
But if you’re gonna dine with them cannibals
Sooner or later, darling, you’re gonna get eaten
But I’m glad you’ve come around
here with your animals
And your heart that is bruised but unbeaten
And beating like a drum

I will sit like a bird on a fence
Sing you songs with a happy ending
Swoop down and tell you that it don’t make sense
To attack the very thing you’re defending
Didn’t I just buy that dress for you?

That pink paper pinafore that you keep mending
Well, if you’re gonna dine with the cannibals
Sooner or later, darling, you’re gonna get eaten
But I’m glad you’ve come around
here with your animals
And your heart that is banging and beating
And banging like a gong

I can see that they’ve hurt you, dear
Here is some moonlight to cloak us
And I will never desert you here
Unpetaled among the crocus
Allow me, my love, to allay your fear
As I swim, in and out of focus
But if you’re gonna dine with the cannibals
Sooner or later, darling, you’re gonna get eaten
But I’m glad you’ve come around
here with your animals
And your heart that is bruised but bleating
And bleeding like a lamb
Banging like a gong
Beating like a drum

The Cult - Outer Heaven

The siren's call
A lost innocence
Her hidden scars
She feels it deeper than all
Mysterious promises whispered
Her smoldering words
A song from a golden bird

Embrace the outer heavens
In a wilderness dreamin'
Embrace the hour of heaven

The storm of love
Where beauty can thrive
Reject the beast
With his snarling teeth
Into the soil soon we will go
Give up the ghost
These stolen whispered words

Embrace the outer heavens
In a wilderness dreamin'
Embrace the hour of heaven

Search the outer heavens
In a wilderness dreamin'
Embrace the outer heavens

As all life fades
We have to go
We've all been behind you

As all life fades
We have to go
We've all been behind you

As all life fades
We have to go
We've all been behind you

As all life fades
We have to go
We've all been behind you

As all life fades
We have to go
We've all been behind you

As all life fades

The National - Mr. November

This is nothing like it was in my room
In my best clothes
Trying to think of you
This is nothing like it was in my room
In my best clothes
The English are waiting
And I don't know what to do
In my best clothes
This is when I need you
The English are waiting
And I don't know what to do
In my best clothes

I'm the new blue blood, I'm the great white hope
I'm the new blue blood

I won't fuck us over, I'm Mr. November
I'm Mr. November, I won't fuck us over
I won't fuck us over, I'm Mr. November
I'm Mr. November, I won't fuck us over

I wish that I believed in fate
I wish I didn't sleep so late
I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders
I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders
I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders

I'm the new blue blood, I'm the great white hope
I'm the new blue blood

I won't fuck us over, I'm Mr. November
I'm Mr. November, I won't fuck us over
Won't fuck us over, I'm Mr. November
I'm Mr. November, I won't fuck us over
I won't fuck us over, I won't fuck us over
I won't fuck us over, I'm Mr. November

I wish that I believed in fate
I wish I didn't sleep so late
I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders
I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders

I'm the new blue blood, I'm the great white hope
I'm the new blue blood

I won't fuck us over, I'm Mr. November
I'm Mr. November, I won't fuck us over

Iron Maiden - The Age Of Innocence

I can't be compromising in my thoughts no more
I can't prevent the times my anger fills my heart
I can't be sympathizing with a new lost cause
I feel I've lost my patience with the world and all

And all the politicians and their hollow promises
And all the lies, deceit and shame that goes with it
The working man pays everything for their mistakes
And with his life too if there was to be a war

So we only get one chance, can we take it?
And we only get one life, can't exchange it
Can we hold on to what we have, don't replace it
The age of innocence is fading like an old dream

A life of petty crime gets punished with a holiday
The victims' mind are scarred for life most everyday
Assailants know just how much further they can go
They know the laws are soft, conviction chances low

So we only get one chance, can we take it?
And we only get one life, can't exchange it
Can we hold on to what we have, don't replace it
The age of innocence is fading like an old dream

You can't protect yourselves even in your own home
For fear of vigilante cries, the victims wipe their eyes
So now the criminal they launch right in our face
Judicial system lets them do it, a disgrace

Despondent public worries, where it will all end?
We can't protect ourselves, our kids from the crime trend
We cannot even warn each other of evil in our midst
They have more rights than us, you cannot call that just

So we only get one chance, can we take it?
And we only get one life, can't exchange it
Can we hold on to what we have, don't replace it
The age of innocence is fading like an old dream

U2 - Bad [Songs Of Surrender version]

If I twist and turn away
If I tear myself in two again
If I could you know I would
If I could, I would, let it go
Surrender
This is a song of surrender

If I could throw this lifeless lifeline to the wind
Leave these jars of clay, you can break, not break away
Into the lights but out of the flame
Into a time of on innocence again

If I could ask for help I know what you would say
You can only have it all, if you give it all away
You can only have it all, if you give it all away

Let it go, so not to fade away
I’m wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
I’m not sleeping
Oh no

If they should ask, then maybe you could tell what I should say
Cause Old Glory fades to blue and black
Bruised silken sky now a burning flag
Where colours crash
Collide in teenage eyes

If I could you know I would
If I could I would let it go

This dope sick nation
Dislocation
No revelation
In temptation
Just isolation

So let it go
So not fade away
Let it go
So not fade away
I’m wide awake
I’m wide awake
Wide awake
I’m not sleeping
Oh no

Pixies - Thunder And Lightning

there was a storm today in Chinatown
my favorite vegetable was really coming down
ok, you count the miles 'til lightning turns to thunder
how long until it tears us both asunder?

they started a war today in another land
everything went the way that it all was planned
ok, you count the miles 'til lightning turns to thunder
how long until it tears us both asunder?

ok, you count the miles till lightning turns to thunder
how long until it tears us both asunder?

there was a storm today in Chinatown
you count the miles till lightning turns to thunder
how long until it tears us both asunder?
there was a storm today
there was a storm today
you count the miles till lightning turns to thunder
you count the miles till lightning turns to thunder

PJ Harvey - Waltz

...

Björk - Allow

The warm, open wind on my skin
Primordial, a plants glazed at me
With moisture directed at me, erupts
My hair fossilised with salt and crust (Crust)

Allow, allow, allow
Allow you to grow (Allow)
Allow, allow, allow, allow
Allow, allow, allow, allow me (You to grow, you to grow)
Me to grow (Me to grow, grow, grow)

Allow, allow
To grow

I look up at the treetops
I will braid those twigs together
Create a cathedral ceiling above me
How I long to float at midair
Between the branches amongst impossible magic

Allow, allow, allow
Allow you (Allow, allow, allow)
Allow, allow, allow it to happen (Allow, allow you to grow)
Oh, happen to us
Allow, allow, allow (Ooh)

I made a moon (Allow, allow) A translucent one
Now could I (Cut it out into something)
Cut it out for someone like you
How mysterious I must feel to you
The universe and the sky too
My little phoеnix
When you burst out a song from my lips

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Burning

Believer
Took me over like a fever
Caught you hiding in the smoke smoke smoke
Like a meteor I glow glow glow

Oooooh lay your red hand on me baby
As I go

Into the sea
Out of fire
All that burning

Whatcha gonna do when you get to the water

Well I’ll release her
From the bindings of her teachers
What their hiding there is broke broke broke
Like the River Styx I flow flow flow

Whatcha gonna do when you get to the water

Into the sea
Out of fire
All that burning

dEUS - Dark Sets In

The sweat had sunk into his sheet
The moon was lighting up the street
He pictured her in some strange place
bathing in some stranger’s heat
If heaven’s you, then hell is me

He closed his eyes to better see
All images taking turns
Then suddenly like in a dream
He’s watching him, touching her

And knowing well the earth will rebel
And knowing about nature’s curse

But that was just a bad excuse
There wasn’t even much to lose
So many lives that he could choose
He chose the wrong one now he’s thinking

Inside, outside
You’re tearing me
For the love of your skin
Just tell me where have you been

Inside, outside
You’re tearing me
And it don’t mean a thing
Just tell me where have you been

Is this the dark setting in?

Imagination if you dare
Can take you almost everywhere
He’s howling like a lonely wolf
But acting like something scared
(This is not happening, god set me free)

He tried to hold the clamour down
Silence never seemed so loud
He never looked for what he found
Another storm behind the clouds

Inside, outside
You’re tearing me
For the love of your skin
Just tell me where have you been

Inside, outside
You’re tearing me
And it don’t mean a thing
Just tell me where have you been

Feelings come and feelings go
But no one really wants to know this one, baby
You can trust it like your meanest friend
It don’t suck up, it don’t pretend
Like a big slow motion accident
It will fuck you right up in the end
Now watch it

Alanis Morissette - All I Really Want

Do I stress you out
My sweater is on backwards and inside out
And you say how appropriate
I don’t want to dissect everything today
I don’t mean to pick you apart you see
But I can’t help it
There I go jumping before the gunshot has gone off
Slap me with a splintered ruler
And it would knock me to the floor if I wasn’t there already
If only I could hunt the hunter

And all I really want is some patience
A way to calm the angry voice
And all I really want is deliverance
Do I wear you out
You must wonder why I’m so relentless and all strung out
I’m consumed by the chill of solitary
I’m like Estella
I like to reel it in and then spit it out
I’m frustrated by your apathy
And I am frightened by the corrupted ways of this land
If only I could meet the Maker

And I am fascinated by the spiritual man
I am humbled by his humble nature
What I wouldn’t give to find a soulmate
Someone else to catch this drift
And what I wouldn’t give to meet a kindred
Enough about me, let’s talk about you for a minute
Enough about you, let’s talk about life for a while
The conflicts, the craziness and the sound of pretenses
Falling all around…all around
Why are you so petrified of silence
Here can you handle this?

Did you think about your bills, your ex, your deadlines
Or when you think you’re gonna die
Or did you long for the next distraction
And all I need know is intellectual intercourse
A soul to dig the hole much deeper
And I have no concept of time other than it is flying
If only I could kill the killer

All I really want is some peace man
A place to find a common ground
And all I really want is a wavelength
All I really want is some comfort
A way to get my hands untied
And all I really want is some justice…

Editors - Silence

When we wake at last
Did the circus come to town?
I've broken the looking glass
Dimmed every light and turned down the sound

Wherever you are now
You're making me feel
These walls are a real life
I miss you, I'm still

All this silence, all this silence
All this silence, all this silence, all this silence
When we wake at last
When we wake
When we wake

When we wake at last
Now I'm catching you, I'm catching your age
This distant photograph
Only marks the page

Wherever you are now
You're making me feel
These walls are a real life
I miss you I'm still

All this silence, all this silence
All this silence, all this silence, all this silence
When we wake at last
When we wake
When we wake

Wherever you are now you're making me feel
These walls are a real life, I miss you, I'm still

When my body aches
Gimme uncomplicated conversation
When my body aches
Gimme uncomplicated conversation

Queens Of The Stone Age - Medication

Medication for us all, it's is a new way
And we're gonna take it cause we love it
Don't you know?
Is this the dose you've been dreaming of?
A revelation from a gun
Doesn't matter
Overtaken, mine was yours, now overthrown

No

Just copulation in a song
I'm so contagious, can I come?
In the new way
All of us cast asides became what has become

No

Medication for us all
You think you know me, well you're wrong
Doesn't matter
All of us cast aside became what has become

Florence And The Machine - Third Eye

That original lifeline,
Original lifeline,
That original lifeline,
Original lifeline.

Hey, look up!
Don't make a shadow of yourself,
Always shutting out the light.
Caught in your own creation.
Look up, look up!
It tore you open
And oh, how much!

'Cause there's a hole where your heart lies
And I can see it with my third eye.
And oh my touch, it magnifies
You pull away, you don't know why

That original lifeline,
Original lifeline,
That original lifeline,
Original lifeline.

Hey, look up!
You don't have to be a ghost,
Here amongst the living.
You are flesh and blood!
And you deserve to be loved and you deserve what you are given.
And oh, how much!

'Cause there's a hole where your heart lies
And I can see it with my third eye.
And oh my touch, it magnifies
You pull away, you don't know why.

That original lifeline,
Original lifeline,
That original lifeline,
Original lifeline.

'Cause there's a hole where your heart lies
And I can see it with my third eye.
And oh my touch, it magnifies
You pull away, you don't know why.

That original lifeline,
Original lifeline,
That original lifeline,
That original lifeline.

'Cause your pain is a tribute
The only thing you let hold you
Wear it now like a mantle
Always there to remind you

But your pain is a tribute
The only thing you let hold you
Wear it now like a mantle
Always there to remind you

I am the same, I'm the same
I'm trying to change.
I am the same, I'm the same
I'm trying to change.
I am the same, I'm the same
I'm trying to change!

'Cause there's a hole where your heart lies
And I can see it with my third eye.
And oh my touch, it magnifies
You pull away, you don't know why.

I am the same, I'm the same

The Pogues - Billy's Bones

Billy ran around with the rare old crew
And he knew an Arsenal from Tottenham blue
We'd be a darn sight better of if we knew
Where Billy's bones are resting now
Billy saw a copper and he hit him in the knee
And he took him down from six foot to five foot three
Then he hit him fair and square in the do-re-mi
That copper won't be having any family

Hey Billy son where are you now
Don't you know that we need you now
With a ra-ta-ta and the old kow-tow
Where are Billy's bones resting now

Billy went away with the peace-keeping force
'Cause he liked a bloody good fight of course
Went away in an old khaki van to the banks of the river Jordan
Billy saw the Arabs and he had 'em on the run
When he got 'em in the range of his sub-machine gun
Then he had the Israelis in his sights, went a ra-ta-ta
And they ran like Shiites

Hey Billy son where are you now
Don't you know that we need you now
With a ra-ta-ta and the old kow-tow
Where are Billy's bones resting now

One night Billy had a rare old time,
Laughing and singing on the Lebanon line
Came back to camp not looking too pretty
Never even got to see the Holy City
Now Billy's out there in the desert sun
And his mother cries when the morning comes
And there's mothers crying all over this world
For their poor dead darling boys and girls

Hey Billy son where are you now
Don't you know that we need you now
With a ra-ta-ta and the old kow-tow
Where are Billy's bones resting now

Have a Billy holiday
Born on a Monday
Married on a Tuesday
Drunk on a Wednesday
Got plugged on a Thursday
Sick on a Friday
Died on a Saturday
Buried on a Sunday

The Gathering - Disconnect

The stars above my clouds
I open up to see
If there's a sign that I could call the beacon of my life

And every time it rains
My moon will fade again
And I am left to save the world from cracking apart and heal

Take a look - the sky is eerie
Feel my breath - my eyes are weary
I try to reach for your attention
You hit me back - incomprehension

I regret I opened
So I disconnect

Take a look - the sky is eerie
Feel my breath - my eyes are weary
I try to reach for your attention
You hit me back - you hit me back

The stars above my clouds
I open up to see
If there's a sign that I could call the beacon of my life
And every time it rains
My moon will fade again
And I am left alone to save the world

I regret I opened
So I disconnect

And every time it rains
My moon will fade again
And I am left alone to save the world from falling apart
And every time it rains
My moon will fade again
And every time it rains
My moon will fade again
And every time it rains
My moon will fade again

Depeche Mode - Macro

Overflowing senses
Heightened awareness
I hear my blood flow
I feel its caress
Whispering cosmos
Talking right to me
Unlimited endless
God breathing through me

See the microcosm
In macro vision
Our bodies moving
With pure precision
One universal celebration
One evolution
One creation

Thundering rhythm
Pounding within me
Driving me onwards
Forcing me to see
Clear and enlightening
Right there before me
Brilliantly shining
Intricate beauty

See the microcosm
In macro vision
Our bodies moving
With pure precision
One universal celebration
One evolution
One creation

R.E.M. - I'll Take the Rain

The rain came down
The rain came down
The rain came down on me.

The wind blew strong
The summer song
Fades to memory

I knew you when
I loved you then
The summer's young and helpless.

You laid me bare
You marked me there
The promises we made.

I used to think
As birds take wing
They sing through life so why can't we?
You cling to this
You claim the best
If this is what you're offering
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain.

The nighttime creases
Summer schemes
And stretches out to stay.
The sun shines down
You came around
You love easy days.

But now the sun,
The winter's come.
I wanted just to say
That if I hold
I'd hope you'd fold Open up inside, inside of me.

I used to think
As birds take wing
They sing through life so why can't we?
You cling to this
You claim the best
If this is what you're offering
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain.

This winter song
I'll sing along
I've searched its still refrain
I'll walk alone
I've given this, take wing
Celebrate the rain.

I used to think
As birds take wing
They sing through life so why can't we?
You cling to this
You claim the best
If this is what you're offering
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain.

U2 - Until the End of the World (Soundtrack Version)

Haven't seen you in quite a while
I was down the hold, just passing time.
Last time we met it was a low-lit room
We were as close together as a bride and groom.
We ate the food, we drank the wine
Everybody having a good time except you.
You were talking about the end of the world.

I took the money, I spiked your drink
You miss too much these days if you stop to think.
You led me on with those innocent eyes
And you know I love the element of surprise.
In the garden I was playing the tart
I kissed your lips and broke your heart.
You, you were acting like it was the end of the world.

In my dream, I was drowning my sorrows
But my sorrows they'd learned to swim
Surrounding me, going down on me
Spilling over the brim
Waves of regret and waves of joy.
I reached out for the one I tried to destroy.
You, you said you'd wait till the end of the world.
