Kasabian - STRICTLY OLD SKOOL

I don't mind when you're around
To pick me up when I am down
Your head is like a work of art
You're old school
Strictly old school

Fresh out of game I wanted to behold
I'm running late, I shiver in the cold
Then walk alone to meet you after work
'Til rain came down

You're Dr. Dre, you're Frida and you're Kurt
You make the day go by without the hurt
And all the time you'd say you know the score
Another drink you pour
Oh what you're waiting for

I don't mind when you're around
To pick me up when I am down
Your head is like a work of art
You're old school
Strictly old school
You're old school
Strictly old school

All poise and grace, fiasco after dark
Sat down to blaze, go walking in the park
Two lovers watch people passing by
The sun came down
Drove a GTI, taste the magic tree
Watch stars in the sky powder off the key
All the time you'd say you know the score
Another drink you pour
Oh what you're waiting for

I don't mind when you're around
To pick me up when I am down
Your head is like a work of art
You're old school

From a place where time forgot
Now you're the one who calls the shots
When I could never be that cool
You're old school
(I don't mind when you're around)
Strictly old school
(To pick me up when I am down)
You're old school
(I don't mind when you're around)
Strictly old school
(To pick me up when I am-)

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

Beck - New Round

Ahhhh ahhhh

When the oceans are dark
The heavens are foreboding
A chainlink wind is breaking you open
And lessons of day
On the blackboard of night
That seem to be erased
And the beacon has no light
The eyes of confusion
Looking far astray
From everything they needed
To keep the dogs at bay
There's no escape hatch
No submarine
Could take you to the moon
And rake you in the leaves
And keep you just as safe
As you are in my arms
That someday someday
Say bye bye
Bye bye
Bye bye
Bye bye

You're smaller than a stone
Bigger than a road
Farther than an ocean
Closer than a soul
Every little word
And every little step
Every new direction
Closer you will get
And farther away
You'll go from where we are
And try to keep it with you
And hold him like a starling
That is from a frozen lake
To a hollow moon
Push yourself beyond
The wall they carved for you
When you bring it down
With all their false eyes
When you've made it yours
Don't forget it's yours
Bye bye
Bye bye
Bye bye

What? Dinnertime, yea

St. Vincent - Regret

Morning pry the windows open
Let in what's so terrifying
Summer is as faded as a lone cicada call
Memories so bright I gotta squint just to recall
Regret the words I've bitten
More than the ones I ever said

Who's the one animal
All by yourself, all of us
All of us
All of us

Who's the one animal
All by yourself, all of us
Who's the one animal
All by yourself, all of us

I'm afraid of heaven because I can't stand the heights
I'm afraid of you because I can't be left behind
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
Oh well, there's a red moon rising
The door slammed and it felt like a cannonball

Who's the one animal
All by yourself, all of us
Who's the one animal
All by yourself, all of us
All of us
All of us

The Pogues - Night Train To Lorca

Across the dark and dusty plain
Where scars of old dry rivers run
Night unfolds, a coal black shroud
Across the hard and stony ground

Distant stars shining bright
In the cavern of the night
All is still and silence screams
To the thunder of the Lorca train

Flaming steal swift as wind
Wires hum the rails ring
Smokestack burning fiery sparks
Rise up to the stars

Towns asleep by empty roads
Churches rise from crooked roofs
Cloaked in darkness nothing stirs
Grow smaller darker disappear

See the moon so still and cold
A million stars that shed no warmth
Your nightmares all come out to play
In the silver light

Wait for sunrise in the east
Long shadows crawl across the plain
The ghosts of night will disappear
And lay your fears to rest

Steam hissed up, the hot coals glowed
The furnace blazed, the wheels they rolled
On tracks of iron, straight and cold
The silver moonlight danced

The flames are in the fireman's eye
Orange in the engines glow
Gleaming pistons whirling cranks
Wait for dawn the rooster's crow

The Cure - End

I think I've reached that point
Where giving up and going on
Are both the same dead end to me
Are both the same old song

I think I've reached that point
Where every wish has come true
And tired disguised oblivion
Is everything I do

Please stop loving me
Please stop loving me
I am none of these things

I think I've reached that point
Where all the things you have to say
And hopes for something more from me
Are just games to pass the time away

Please stop loving me
Please stop loving me
I am none of these things

I think I've reached that point
Where every word that you write
Of every blood dark sea
And every soul black night
And every dream you dream me in
And every perfect free from sin
And burning eyes
And hearts on fire
Are just the same old song

Please stop loving me
Please stop loving me
I am none of these things
I am none of these things

I am none of these things

The Raconteurs - You Don't Understand Me

You don't understand me
But if the feeling was right
You might comprehend me
And why do you feel the need to tease me
Why don't you turn it around
It might be easier to please me

And there's always another point of view
A better way to do the things we do
And how can you know me
And I know you.
If nothing is true

Why do you think that you are doing
But who is the fool, the fool or the fool
that you are fooling.
And maybe I just don't see the reason
But in the corner of my heart your ignorance is treason.

And there's always another point of view
A better way to do the things we do
And how can you know me
And I know you.
If nothing is true

You think you know how I feel
It's not that big of a deal
There's no such thing its not real
Oh-Oh

You don't understand me
But if the feeling was right
You might comprehend me
And I don't claim to understand you
But I've been looking around
And I haven't found, anybody like you

And there's always another point of view
A better way to do the things we do
And how can you know me
And I know you
If nothing is true

The Stone Roses - Made Of Stone

Your knuckles whiten on the wheel
The last thing that your hands will feel
Your final flight can’t be delayed

No earth, just sky it’s so surreal
Your pink fat lips let go a scream
You fry and melt I love the scene

Sometimes I fantasise
When the streets are cold and lonely
And the cars they burn below me
Don’t these times fill your eyes

When the streets are cold and lonely
And the cars they burn below me
Are you all alone
Is anybody home?

I’m standing warm against the cold
Now that the flames have taken hold
At least you left your life in style

And for far as I can see

Ten twisted grills grin back at me
Bad money dies I love the scene

Sometimes I fantasise
When the streets are cold and lonely
And the cars they burn below me
Don’t these times fill your eyes

When the streets are cold and lonely
And the cars they burn below me
Are you all alone
Is anybody home?

Sometimes I fantasise
When the streets are cold and lonely
And the cars they burn below me
Don’t these times fill your eyes

When the streets are cold and lonely
And the cars they burn below me
Are you all alone
Are you made of stone?

Megadeth - Die Dead Enough

It's twilight and I wake up hot
My body's soaked in a cold, cold sweat
I reenact the lurid scenes
And clawed engravings in my head

Oh, I can't punch hard enough and I run
I can't kick high enough and I run
I can't shoot straight enough and I run
I can't hold on enough and I run
Oh, I can't stay down enough and I run
I can't take pain enough and I run
I can't bleed fast enough
I can't die dead enough

The air is thick, but the oxygen's thin
My heart is beating like a drum, boom!
And ice is flowing through my veins
Explosives on my lips and in my lungs

Oh, I can't punch hard enough and I run
I can't kick high enough and I run
I can't shoot straight enough and I run
I can't hold on enough and I run
Oh, I can't stay down enough and I run
I can't take pain enough and I run
I can't bleed fast enough
I can't die dead enough

I don't know what I'm running from
And I don't know where I'm running to
There's something deep and strange inside of me I see

I don't know what I'm running from
And I don't know where I'm running to
Something's compelling me to run into the dark

And now I am more driven than before
And now I live just to settle score
And now I feel the nearness of your breath
Now I introduce you to your death

I am more driven than before
I live just to settle score
I feel the nearness of your breath
I introduce you to your death
I can't punch hard enough
I can't kick high enough
I can't shoot straight enough
I can't hold on enough

I can't stay down enough, die dead enough
I can't take pain enough, die dead enough
I can't bleed fast enough, die dead enough
I can't die dead enough, die dead enough
