Chelsea Wolfe - Appalachia

It was the way we always knew
that we never had the clue
that we never had the chance
like the others in the dance
like black diamonds, ash and light
like the mines and anthracite
split-tongued fellows, venom-survived
violence only against the vile
e'er we bleed into the wild
then laid to rest there, man or child
this shining gutter in the sun
is it worth it in the run

Radiohead - Decks Dark

Then into your life, there comes a darkness
There's a spacecraft blocking out the sky
And there's nowhere to hide
You run to the back, and you cover your ears
But it's the loudest sound, you've ever heard
And all we trapped, ragdoll cloth people
We are helpless to resist
Into our darkest hour

But it was just a laugh, just a laugh, just a laugh, just a laugh
Even at this angle, and so we crumble
A ten ton head made of wet sand, oh, this dread circumference
You've gotta be kidding me, the grass grows over me
Your face in the glass, in the glass, it was just a laugh, just a laugh
It's whatever you say it is, in split infinities

Then into your life, there comes a darkness
And a spacecraft blocking out the sky
And there's nowhere to hide
You run to the back and you cover your ears
But it's the loudest sound you've ever heard
Into your darkest hour

When you've had enough of me
When you've had enough of me
Sweet darling
When you've had enough of me
When you've had enough of me
Sweet darling
Sweet times
Sweet darling
Sweet times

Nirvana - Territorial Pissings

Come on, people, now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now

When I was an alien
Cultures weren't opinions

Gotta find a way, find a way, when I'm there
Gotta find a way, a better way, I'd better wait

Never met a wise man
If so, it's a woman

Gotta find a way, find a way, when I'm there
Gotta find a way, a better way, I'd better wait
Gotta find a way, find a way, when I'm there
Gotta find a way, a better way, I'd better wait!

Just because you're paranoid
Don't mean they're not after you

Gotta find a way, find a way, when I'm there
Gotta find a way, a better way, I'd better wait
Gotta find a way, find a way, when I'm there
Gotta find a way, a better way, I'd better wait!

Gotta find a way, find a way, when I'm there
Gotta find a way, a better way, I'd better wait!
Gotta find a way, find a way, when I'm there!
Gotta find a way! Aah! Aah!
Yeah!

The Clash - The Card Cheat

There's a solitary man crying, hold me
It's only because he's a-lonely
If the keeper of time runs slowly
He won't be alive for long!

If he only had time to tell of all of the things he planned
With a card up his sleeve, what would he achieve?
It means nothing!

To the opium den and the barroom gin
In the Belmont chair playing violins
The gambler's face cracks into a grin
As he lays down the king of spades

But the dealer just stares
There's something wrong here, he thinks
The gambler is seized and forced to his knees
And shot dead

He only wanted more time
Away from the darkest door
But his luck it gave in
As the dawn light crept in
And he lay on the floor

From the Hundred Year War to the Crimea
With a lance and a musket and a Roman spear
To all of the men who have stood with no fear
In the service of the King

Before you met your fate be sure you
Did not forsake your lover
May not be around anymore

There's a solitary man crying, hold me
It's only because he's a-lonely
If the keeper of time runs slowly
He won't be alive for long!

R.E.M. - What's The Frequency, Kenneth?

"What's the frequency, Kenneth?" is your Benzedrine, uh-huh
I was brain-dead, locked out, numb, not up to speed
I thought I'd pegged you an idiot's dream
Tunnel vision from the outsider's screen
I never understood the frequency, uh-huh
You wore our expectations like an armored suit, uh-huh

I'd studied your cartoons, radio, music, tv, movies, magazines
Richard said, "Withdrawal in disgust is not the same as apathy"
A smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth
You said that irony was the shackles of youth
You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh
I never understood the frequency, uh-huh

"What's the frequency, Kenneth?" is your Benzedrine, uh-huh
Butterfly decal, rearview mirror, dogging the scene
You smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth
You said that irony was the shackles of youth
You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh
I never understood the frequency, uh-huh
You wore our expectations like an armored suit, uh-huh
I couldn't understand
You said that irony was the shackles of youth, uh-huh
I couldn't understand
You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh
I couldn't understand
I never understood, don't fuck with me, uh-huh

Makes a mean cock grow
Turns a coward to a priest
Makes a superman of you

Go go go go

With the S on your chest
You're feeling like a god
An order of animal
We try to find a ride

Superhero, sensei, Nero, smiling, hiding, riding, flying, sumo, charring, falling, burning

Leader of men
Leader of men
Get back in your cage
Ain't no grave gonna' hold this body down
The sunrise is here to save us now
All myths are erased
Storybook ends
Sweet memories
Wash it away
Wash it away
Wash it away

Go go go go
Go go go go
Go go go go
Go go go go
Go go go go
Go go go go
Go go go!

Depeche Mode - Something To Do

My little girl
Won't you come with me
Come with me
Tell me

Is there something to do

I'm going crazy with boredom
Come with me
Tell me

Grey sky over a black town
I can feel depression
All around
You've got your leather boots on

I can't stand another drink
It's surprising this town
Doesn't sink
You've got your leather boots on

Your pretty dress is oil stained
From working too hard
For too little
You've got your leather boots on

You're feeling the boredom too
I'd gladly go with you
I'd put your leather boots on
I'd put your pretty dress on

Ramones - Little Bit O' Soul

Now when you're feelin' low
And the fish won't bite
You need a little bit o' soul
To put you right
You gotta make like you
Wanna kneel and pray
And then a little bit o' soul
Will come your way

Now when your girl has gone
And you're broke in two
You need a little bit o' soul
To see you through
And when you raise the roof
With you rock and roll
You'll get a lot more kicks
With a little bit o' soul

And if your party falls
'Cause there's nobody groovin'
A little bit o' soul and
It really starts movin', yeah!

Now when you're in a mess
And you feel like cryin'
Just remember this little
Song of mine
And as you walk through life
Tryin' to reach your goal
Remember what I say 'bout
A little bit o' soul

And if your party falls
'Cause there's nobody groovin'
A little bit o' soul and
It really starts movin', yeah!
A little bit o' soul
A little bit o' soul
A little bit o' soul

(originally recorded by The Little Darlings)

Placebo - My Sweet Prince

Never thought you'd make me perspire
Never thought I'd do you the same
Never thought I'd fill with desire
Never thought I'd feel so ashamed

Me and the dragon
Can chase all the pain away
So before I end my day
Remember
My sweet prince
You are the one
My sweet prince
You are the one

Never thought I'd have to retire
Never thought I'd have to abstain
Never thought all this could backfire
Close up the hole in my vein

Me and my valuable friend
Can fix all the pain away
So before I end my day
Remember
My sweet prince
You are the one
My sweet prince
You are the one

You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one

Never thought I'd get any higher
Never thought you'd fuck with my brain
Never thought all this could expire
Never thought you'd go break the chain

Me and you, baby
Used to flush all the pain away
So before I end my day
Remember
My sweet prince
You are the one
My sweet prince
You are the one

You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one

My sweet prince
My sweet prince

Siouxsie And The Banshees - Ornaments Of Gold

Silver couches to recline upon
And ornaments of gold
Silver moonbeams dance in fountains
Below shining citadels
Surrounded by silver gates ascending silver stairs
Eureka on angelic prayer wafts in and scents the air
With ornaments of gold
To warm my soul from the growing cold
Ornaments of gold

We can drink from silver vessels
We can feed from silver bowls
Then I'll give you gilded treasures
Annointed by intoxicating oils
Drenched in riches unimaginable
Your splendour drips with jewels that are so beautiful

And ornaments of gold
Warm my soul from the growing cold

Adorable rewardable you
From head to toe I'd love to cover you
And smother you in ornaments of gold

In honeydew I'd love to cover you
Oh lover do bring

Ornaments of gold
Protect our hearts from this cruel world
Ornaments of gold
