The House Of Love - Shine on

In a garden in the house of love, sitting lonely on a plastic chair
The sun is cruel when he hides away, I need a sister - I'll just stay
A little girl, a little guy - in a little church or in a school
Little Jesus are you watching me, I'm so young - just eighteen

She, she, she, she
Shine On
Shine On
Shine On

In a garden in a house of love, there's nothing real just a coat of arms
I'm not the pleasure that I used to be - so young - just eighteen

She, she, she, she
Shine On
Shine On
Shine On

I don't know why I dream this way
The sky is purple and things are right every day
I don't know, it's just this world's so far away
But I won't fight, and I won't hate
Well not today

In a garden in the house of love
Sitting lonely on a plastic chair
The sun is cruel when he hides away

Shine On...
Shine On
Shine On

and on...and on...

Shine
Shine On
Shine
Shine
Shine

The Jesus And Mary Chain - April Skies

Hey honey what you trying to say
As I stand here
Don't you walk away
And the world comes tumbling down

Hand in hand in a violent life
Making love on the edge of a knife
And the world comes tumbling down

And it's hard
For me to say
And it's hard
For me to stay
I'm going down
To be by myself
I'm going back
For the good of my health
And there's one thing
I couldn't do
Sacrifice myself to you
Sacrifice

Baby baby I just can't see
Just what you mean to me
I take my aim and I fake my words
I'm just your long time curse
And if you walk away
I can't take it

But that's the way that you are
And that's the things that you say
But now you've gone too far
With all the things you say

Get back to where you come from
I can't help it
Under the april skies
Under the april sun

Sun grows cold
Sky gets black
And you broke me up
And now you won't come back
Shaking hand, life is dead
And a broken heart
And a screaming head
Under the april sky

Nine Inch Nails - Echoplex

Nice and high and far apart
Just like they said
I built this place with broken parts
Just like they said
You chip away the old version of you
You'd be surprised at what you can do
I'm safe in here
Irrelevant
Just like they said

My voice just echoes off these walls

You feel me breathe
I am watching you
I see it all
The many ways you can't get to me
I see it all
I see the Hell you put yourself through
Oh the things I could do (if I wanted to)

My voice just echoes off these walls
My voice just echoes off these walls
I don't need anything at all

My voice just echoes off these walls

And I just slowly fade away

You will never ever get to me in here

Bauhaus - The Passion Of Lovers

She had nut painted arms
That were hers to keep
And in her fear
She sought cracked pleasures
The passion of lovers is for death said she
Licked her lips
And turned to feather

And as I watched from underneath
I came aware of all that she keep
The little foxes so safe and sound
They were not dead
They'd gone to ground

The passion of lovers is for death said she
The passion of lovers is for death

The passion of lovers is for death said she
The passion of lovers is for death

She breaks her heart
Just a little too much
And her jokes attract the lucky bad type
As she dips and wails
And slips her banshee smile
She gets the better of the bigger to the letter

The passion of lovers is for death said she
The passion of lovers is for death
The passion of lovers is for death said she
The passion of lovers is for death
The passion of lovers is for death said she
The passion of lovers is for death

Joy Division - Warsaw

Three, five, zero, one, two, five go!

I was there in the back stage,
When the first light came around.
I grew up like a changeling,
To win the first time around.
I can see all the weakness.
I pick all the faults.
Well I concede all the faith tests,
Just to stick in your throats.

31G, 31G, 31G

I hung around in your soundtrack,
To mirror all that you've done,
To find the right side of reason,
To kill the three lies for one,
I can see all the cold facts.
I can see through your eyes.
All this talk made no contact.
No matter how hard we tried.

31G, 31G, 31G

I can still hear the footsteps.
I can see only walls.
I slid into your man-traps,
With no hearing at all.
I just see contradiction,
Had to give up the fight,
Just to live in the past tense,
To make believe you were right.

31G, 31G, 31G

Three, five, zero, one, two, five

This Mortal Coil - Sixteen Days / Gathering Dust

Sixteen days no bread and water
Sixteen days no light of day

Sixteen days without liquid on my stomach
Sixteen days without sun on my back

Sixteen days without ideas in my head
Sixteen days with writing on my hands

The pressure's on, no time to lose
The pressure's on, no time to lose
The pressure's on, no time to lose
The pressure's on, no time to lose

Inspiring dreams, all shattered and blown away
Gathering dust, the band played on again
Personal reasons, are problems in the way
Waking up with just enough time to spare

La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la

Searching out thoughts, we set ourselves a sight
Power and death are always on our minds
The cause is laid out, no looking back for me
The future holds the key for us to see

La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la

(originally recorded by Modern English)

Siouxsie And The Banshees - Obsession

Do you hear this breath?
It's an obsessive breath
Can you feel this beat?
It's an obsessive heart beat
Waiting to be joined with its obsession

I close my eyes
But I can't sleep
The thin membrane can't veil
The branded picture of you

The signs and signals show
The traffic lights say go
Again you baffle me
Pretending not to see me

I broke into your room
I broke down in my room
Touched your belongings there
And left a lock of my hair
Another sign for you

You screamed into my face
Get the hell out of my place
Another sign for me?
Can you forgive me?
For not understanding your ways

You know sometimes you take it all too far
Then i remember it's a game between you and me
A divine test for us two
It's all in my imagination
Yes they even say that our mission
Is only my obsession

Do you hear this breath?
It's an oppressive breath
Suffocating in the poison of your obsession
can you feel this beat?
It's a possessive beat
Your pulse stops in the claws of your obsession

The signs and signals show
The traffic lights say go
Again you baffle me
Pretending not to see me

The Cure - Lament

Today there was a tragedy
Underneath the bridge
A man walked
Cold and blue
Into La Ment
The sky coloured perfect
As the man slipped away
Waving with a last vanilla smile...

Somewhere at a table
Two drowned fools
Smoking
Drinking water as they talked
Of how they loved our lady
And oh! the smell as candles die...

One more ice cream river body
Flowed underneath the bridge
Underneath the bridge

Deftones - Feiticeira

Fuck! I’m….drunk…
But I’m on my knees
The police stopped chasing
I’m her…
New…Cool…Meat

She pops the…trunk
And she removes me
The machine takes pictures of us
And my jaw and my teeth hurt
I’m choking from gnawing on the ball…
And just before I come to
Move to the back of the car
She made me touch the machine
New murderer…
Fuck!

First untie me
Untie me for now
You said you would, right?
And you were right

Soon I’ll let you go
Soon I’ll let you go
Soon I’ll let you go
Soon I’ll let you go
Soon this will be all over
Well I hope soon – she sang
Soon this’ll be all over
Well I hope soon – so she sang

Soon I’ll let you go
So she sang
Soon I’ll let you go
Oh…she sang
Soon I’ll let you go
Oh…she sang
Soon I’ll let you go

Depeche Mode - Shake The Disease

I'm not going down on my knees
Begging you to adore me
Can't you see it's misery
And torture for me
When I'm misunderstood
Try as hard as you can
I've tried as hard as I could
To make you see
How important it is for me

Here is a plea
From my heart to you
Nobody knows me
As well as you do
You know how hard it is for me
To shake the disease
That takes hold of my tongue
In situations like these

Understand me

Some people have to be
Permanently together
Lovers devoted
To each other forever
Now I've got things to do
And I've said before
That I know you have too
When I'm not there
In spirit I'll be there

Sonic Youth - Junkie's Promise

A hundred dollars used to be more than enough
And now a hundred times a day
And still it's not enough
People always tell me you get what you deserve
All I know is all and all it's all I've heard

I heard you said "You know I hate myself
But I love everybody else"
And did you say "I can't escape myself"?
And then you did, and now there's no one else
To blame

You know that I know yeah that times are rough
I'd like to help you out but things are rather tough
People always tell me that
You got to lend a helping hand
Nothing in return is all I expect from you
My friend

I heard you said "You know I hate myself
But I love everybody else"
And did you say "I can't escape myself"?
And then you did, and now there's no one else

I heard you said "You know I hate myself
But I love everybody else"
And did you say "I can't escape myself"?
And then you did, and now there's no one else

Pearl Jam - Not For You

Restless soul, enjoy your youth
Like Muhammad, hits the truth
Can't escape from the common rule
If you hate something, don't you do it too...too...

Small my table, sits just two
Got so crowded, I can't make room
Oh, where did they come from? Stormed my room!
And you dare say it belongs to you...to you...

This is not for you
This is not for you
This is not for you
Oh, not for you...ah, you...

...Scream...my friends...don't call me...
...Friends, no they don't scream...
...My friends don't call...my friends don't...

All that's sacred, comes from youth
Dedication, naive and true
With no power, and fuckin' nothing to do
I still remember, why don't you...don't you...

This is not for you
This is not for you
This is not for you
Oh, never was for you...fuck you...
This is not for you...
Oh, this is not for you...yeah, you...
This is not for you...
Oh, not for you...
Oh, you...

R.E.M. - New Test Leper

I can't say that I love Jesus
that would be a hollow claim.
He did make some observations
and I'm quoting them today.
"Judge not lest ye be judged."
what a beautiful refrain.
The studio audience disagrees.
Have his lambs all gone astray?

Call me a leper
Call me a leper
Call me a leper

"You are lost and disillusioned!"
what an awful thing to say.
I know this show doesn't flatter.
It means nothing to me.
I thought I might help them understand
but what an ugly thing to see.
"I am not an animal"
subtitled under the screen.

Call me a leper
Call me a leper
Call me a leper

When I tried to tell my story
They cut me off to take a break.
I sat silent 5 commercials
I had nothing left to say
The talk show host was index-carded
All organized and blank
The other guests were scared and hardened
What a sad parade.

What a sad parade

Call me a leper
Call me a leper
Call me a leper

U2 - Wave Of Sorrow (Birdland)

Heat haze rising on Hell's own hill
To wake up this morning was an act of will
You walked through the night to get to today
To bring your children to give them a way

Oh, oh this cruel sun
Its daylight never done
Cruelty just begun
To make a shadow of everyone

And if the rain came
And if the rain came now

Souls bent over without a breeze
Blankets on burning trees
I'm sick without disease
Nobility on its knees

And if the rain came
And if the rain came now

Would it wash us all away
On a wave of sorrow
A wave of sorrow

Where now the holy cities
Where all the ancient holy scrolls
Where now the Emperor Menelik
And the Queen of Sheba's gold
You, my bride, wear her crown
On your finger a precious stone
Has every good thing now been sold

Oh son of the shepherd boy now king
What wisdom can you bring
What lyric could you sing
Where is the music of the seraphim

And if the rain came
And if the rain came now
Would it wash us all away
On a wave of sorrow
A wave, a wave of sorrow

Blessed are the meek who scratch in the dirt
For they shall inherit what's left of the earth
Blessed are the kings who have left their thrones
They are blessed in this valley of dry bones
Blessed are you with an empty heart
For you have nothing form which you cannot part
Blessed is the ego if it's all we've got this hour
Blessed is the voice that speaks truth to power
Blessed is the sex worker's body sold tonight
She works with what she's got to save her children's life
Blessed are the deaf who cannot hear her scream
Blessed are the stupid who can dream
Blessed are the tin can cardboard slums
And blessed is the spirit that overcomes
