Megadeth - Ashes In Your Mouth

People have round shoulders from bearing heavy loads
And the soldiers liberate them, laying mines along their roads
Sorrow paid for valor is too much to recall
Of the countless corpses piled up along the wailing wall

Melting down all metals, turning plows and shears to swords
Shun words of the Bible, we need implements of war
Chalklines and red puddles of those who have been slain
Destiny, that crooked schemer, says the dead shall rise again

Where do we go from here?
And should we really care?
The end is finally here
God have mercy!

Now we've rewritten history
The one thing we've found out
Sweet taste of vindication
It turns to ashes in your mouth

Where do we go from here?
And should we really care?
The end is finally here
God have mercy!
If you're fighting to live
It's okay to die
The answer to your question is:
"Welcome to tomorrow."

Where do we go from here?
God have mercy!

Where do we go from here?
And should we really care?
The end is finally here
God have mercy!

Where do we go from here?
And should we really care?
The end is finally here
God have mercy!

Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy

Cat Power - Faces

Looking out across the next few days
I can see, nothing
Looking out across the next few year
I can see, they're gonna go by fast
Looking out across the next few days
Smoke's gonna clear slowly
Looking out across the next few days
I can see, they're gonna go by fast
They're gonna go by
Lying for, me
So I won't hear a thing
To bat me back
So I'll notice some grave thing
I'm not made of successful things
I'm not made of successful things
I'm not made of success
I've got what it takes
I've got what it takes
To rest
To rest
To rest
But I'm still around
Looking across the faces I've know
I can see
Nothing
Looking out across my family members
I know they miss me
I know they must miss me
Never had a lot of fun
Better things to do around the house
Never had a lot of fun
Better things to do without
Lying for, me
So I won't hear a thing
To bat me back
So I'll notice some grave thing
I'm not made of successful things

The xx - Heart Skipped A Beat

Please don't say we're done
When I'm not finished
I could give so much more
Make you feel, like never before
Welcome, they said welcome to the floor

It's been a while
And you've found someone better
But I've been waiting too long to give this up
The more I see, I understand
But sometimes, I still need you

Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you

And I was struggling to get in
Left waiting outside your door
I was sure
You'd give me more

No need to come to me
When I can make it all the way to you
You made it clear
You weren't near
Near enough for me

Heart skipped a beat
And when I caught it you were out of reach
But I'm sure, I'm sure
You've heard it before
You've heard it before
You've heard it before
You've heard it before

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - The Curse of Millhaven

I live in a town called Millhaven
And it’s small and it’s mean and it’s cold
But if you come around just as the sun goes down
You can watch the whole town turn to gold
It’s around about then that I used to go a-roaming
Singing La la la la La la la lie
All God’s children they all gotta die

My name is Loretta but I prefer Lottie
I’m closing in on my fifteenth year
And if you think you have seen a pair of eyes more green
Then you sure didn’t see them round here
My hair is yellow and I’m always a-combing
La la la la La la la lie
Mama often told me we all have to die

You must have heard about The Curse Of Millhaven
How last Christmas Bill Blake’s little boy didn’t come home
They found him next week in One Mile Creek
His head bashed in and his pockets full of stones
Well, just imagine the wailing and moaning
La la la la La la la lie
Even little Billy Blake, he had to die

Then Professor O’Rye from Millhaven High
Found nailed to his door, his prize-winning terrier
The next day the old fool brought little Biko to school
And we all had to watch as he buried her
His eulogy to Biko had all the tears a-flowing
La la la la La la la lie
Even God’s little creatures, they have to die

Our little town fell into a state of shock
A lot of people were saying things that made little sense
Then the next thing you know the head of Handyman Joe
Was found in the fountain of the Mayor’s residence
Foul play can really get a small town going
La la la la La la la lie
All God’s children all have to die

Then, in a cruel twist of fate, old Mrs Colgate
Was stabbed but the job was not complete
The last thing she said before the cops pronounced her dead
Was, “My killer is Loretta and she lives across the street!”
Twenty cops burst through my door without even phoning
La la la la La la la lie
The young ones, the old ones, they all gotta die

Yes, it is I, Lottie. The curse of Millhaven
I’ve struck horror in the heart of this town
Like my eyes ain’t green and my hair ain’t yellow
It’s more like the other way around
I gotta pretty little mouth underneath all the foaming
La la la la La la la lie
Sooner or later we all gotta die

Since I was no bigger than a weavil they’ve been saying I was evil That if “bad” was a boot then I’d fit it That I’m a wicked young lady, but I’ve been trying hard lately O fuck it! I’m a monster! I admit it! It makes me so mad my blood really starts a-going La la la la La la la lie Mama always told me that we all gotta die

Yeah, I drowned the Blakey kid, stabbed Mrs. Colgate, I admit Did the handyman with his circular saw in his garden shed But I never crucified little Biko, that was two junior high school psychos Stinky Bohoon and his friend with the pumpkin-sized head I’ll sing to the lot, now you got me going La la la la La la la lie All God’s children have all gotta die

There were all of the others, all our sisters and brothers
You assumed were accidents, best forgotten
Recall the children who broke through the ice on Lake Tahoo?
Everyone assumed the “Warning” signs had followed them to the bottom
Well, they’re underneath the house where I do quite a bit of stowing
La la la la La la la lie
Even twenty little children, they had to die

And the fire of ‘91 that razed the Bella Vista slum
There was the biggest shit-fight this country’s ever seen
Insurance companies ruined, land lords getting sued
All cause of a wee little girl with a can of gasoline
Those flames really roared when the wind started blowing
La la la la La la la lie
Rich man, poor man, all got to die

Well I confessed to all these crimes and then they put me on trial
I was laughing when they took me away
Off to the asylum in an old black Mariah
It ain’t home, but you know, it’s fucking better than jail
It ain’t such a bad old place to have a home in
La la la la La la la lie
All God’s children they all gotta die

Now I got shrinks that will not rest with their endless Rorschach tests
I keep telling them they’re out to get me
They ask me if I feel remorse and I answer, “Why of course!
There is so much more I could have done if they’d let me!”
So it’s Rorschach and Prozac and everything is groovy
Singing La la la la La la la lie
All God’s children have all gotta die
La la la la La la la lie
I’m happy as a lark and everything is fine
Singing La la la la La la la lie
Yeah, everything is groovy and everything is fine
Singing La la la la La la la lie
All God’s children they all gotta die

Smashing Pumpkins - Pissant

Got me a ray gun
Got me an altitude
Can't help feeling something's wrong
With everyone of you

Inside your head
Trust me instead
Inside your head

Talk revolution
As if it matters now
I don't care anyway
Just give me what I want

Inside your head
Trust me instead
Inside your head

Ooh, honey
Fill me with your little whispers
Stories and your nightmares
Of a generation sent to burn

Come on honey
Let's go for a ride
Down where the crickets learn to sing and play, baby

Inside your head
Trust me instead
Inside your head
Trust me instead
Inside your head
Trust me instead
Inside your head

Yeah, it's a motherfucker,

(WOO!)

The Mission - Blood Brother [Live at Astoria 1988]

I gave you flowers and you gave me faith
We are minds and hearts that move as one
Chameleon, warrior, gypsy and brave
We turn our eyes to the heart of the rising sun

You and me, we are blood brothers
You and me, we are blood brothers
Blood brother
Lay down your life for me
Lay down your love for me

Kiss by kiss, touch by touch
We tore the clouds apart
You took my hand and walked me through the rain
An act of love, mission of tender mercy
We stood tall and proud together, we conquered again

You and me, we are blood brothers
You and me, we are blood brothers
Blood brother
Lay down your life for me
Lay down your love for me

We pulled no punch and we gave them hell
The feelings cry in the shameful dell
Mountains of sand and seas and land, we move winds to calm
And we rose again to win the war
To rule and reign, our hearts to soar
Heads held high, stars in the sky and we kissed
The ever-faithful moon

Father, you’re a good man, an honest man, a saint amongst men
And mother, I wish I could tell you I love you
Sister, you’re a goddess and I want you to take me to heaven
Blood brother, your hand on my heart and your innocence laid bare and bleeding

You and me, we are blood brothers
You and me, we are blood brothers
Blood brother
Lay down your life for me
Blood brother
Lay down your love for me

Lay down your life for me
Blood brother
Lay down your love for me
Blood brother

Lay down your life for me
Blood brother
Blood brother
Blood brother
Lay down your love
For me
Blood brother!

Blood brother
Lay down your love
For me...

God, I feel so strong but I just want to break down and cry
God, I feel so strong but I just want to break down and cry
God, I feel so strong but I just want to break down and cry
God, I feel so strong but I just want to break down and cry
God, I feel so strong but I just want to break down and cry
God, I feel so strong but I just want to break down and cry

The Cure -Trap

Drowning like a fly in my drink
You drone about being on the brink
But I really don’t care what you think
Oh I’m sick of it all
Sick of it all
I hate the way it’s always the same
Hate recrimination and blame
And you just wait for me to fuck up again
Oh I’m sick of it all
Sick of it all

The ways you try and put me down
Sweet revenge for the things I’ve done
The ways you try and twist me around
„Give me a taste of my own medicine“

Drowning like a fly in my drink
You whine about being out of synch
But I really don’t care what you think
Oh I’m sick of it all
Sick of it all

I hate the way you want me to be
Hate regret and humility
And you just wait for me to fall at your feet
Oh I’m sick of it all
Sick of it all

The ways you try and run me down
Make me pay for the things I’ve been
The ways you try and push me around
All you want to do is win

Any love you once felt for me
Has turned into this travesty
Of selfishness and jealousy
So why can’t you just let me go?
Any love you once felt for me
Has turned into this travesty
Of selfishness and jealousy
So why can’t I just let you go?

PJ Harvey - The Darker Days Of Me & Him

Promises, promises
I’m feeling burned
You taught me a lesson
I didn’t want to learn

Why did I come here?
Please tell me again
Why did you ask me?
Don’t say you forget

I long for, I long for
I long for my home
I long for a land where
No man was known

With no neurosis
No psychosis
No psychoanalysis
And no sadness

I’ll pick up the pieces
I’ll carry on somehow
Tape the broken parts together
And limp this love around
