Muse - Recess

Resuscitate

In my sleep

Awake to see

You're never here

But the losing yields

Another year

Facing hopes and fears

And I wish

I could believe there was more

Hopes suffocating

You've kissed my life

And the planes and trains

Are to blame

For tempting us

To refrain

And to cut the chord

Dis every word

Of the truths absurd

And I wish

I could believe there was more

Hopes suffocating

You've kissed my life

Hopes suffocating

Hopes suffocating

Hopes suffocating

And you've kissed my life

Paradise Lost - Ash & Debris

Your beliefs shadow everyday (Never again)

Live and breathe, shelter and restrain (Never again)

Never wanted loss

My ever needing soul

Never wanted blood…

You conceive tragedies innate (Feel so revived)

You redeem fallacy remains (Fear so in mind)

Never wanting loss

Never need control

Never wanting love

Could there be, something that your world depends on in me…

Never wanted loss

My ever needing soul

Never wanted blood…

Could there be, something that your world depends on in me…

Could it be, nothing that you learned from ash and debris?

U2 - Raised By Wolves

Face down on a broken street

There’s a man in the corner in a pool of misery.

I’m in a white van as a red sea covers the ground

Metal crash I can’t tell what it is

But I take a look and now I’m sorry I did.

5:30 on a Friday night 33 good people cut down

I don’t believe anymore

I don’t believe anymore

Face down on a pillow of shame

There are some girls with a needle tryin to spell my name

My body’s not a canvas

My body’s now a toilet wall.

I don’t believe anymore

I don’t believe anymore

Raised by wolves

Stronger than fear

Raised by wolves

We were raised by wolves

Raised by wolves

Stronger than fear

If I open my eyes,

You disappear

Boy sees his father crushed under the weight

Of a cross in a passion where the passion is hate.

Blue mink Ford, I’m gonna detonate and you’re dead

Blood in the house,

Blood on the street

The worst things in the world are justified by belief

Registration 1385-WZ

I don’t believe anymore

I don’t believe anymore

Raised by wolves

Stronger than fear

Raised by wolves

We were raised by wolves

Raised by wolves

Stronger than fear

If I open my eyes,

You disappear

Franz Ferdinand - Eleanor Put Your Boots On

Eleanor put those boots back on,

Kick the heels into the Brooklyn dirt,

I know it isn't dignified to run,

But if you run,

You can run to the Coney Island roller coaster,

Ride to the highest point and leap across the filthy water,

Leap until the Gulf Stream's brought you down.

I could be there when you land

I could be there when you land

So Eleanor take a Green Point three point,

Turn towards the hidden sun,

You know you look so elegant when you run,

If you run, you can run,

To that statue with the dictionary,

Climb to her fingernail and leap, yeah,

Take an atmospheric leap,

Leap and let the jet stream set you down.

Could be there when you land,

I could be there when you land,

Could be there when you land.

So Eleanor put those boots back on,

Put the boots back on and run, run,

Come on over here, come on over here,

Come on over here...

Gliss - Slow To The Kill

On a clear day

I see your face

Under the ridge, that’s where it is

Ooooh…that’s where it is

Into the hole

That’s where you go

You’re holding your heart

Back to the start

Oooh slow to the kill

I couldn’t tell

Under your heart

Nobody knows where it will end

If it will shout

Oooh slow to the kill

I couldn’t tell

Slow to the kill….slow to the kill…

Violent Femmes - Children Of The Revolution

You can bump and grind
Have a good time
You can twist and shout
Let it all hang out
But you won't fool the children of the revolution
No you won't fool the children of the revolution

You can tell a plane, in the falling rain
I got a Rolls Royce
'Cause it's good for my voice
But you won't fool the children of the revolution
No you won't fool the children of the revolution

You can bump and grind
Feeling fine
You can twist and shout
Knock yourself out
But you won't fool the children of the revolution
No you won't fool the children of the revolution
No you can't fool the children of the revolution
No you won't fool the children of the revolution
No you can't fool the children of the revolution
No you won't fool the children of the revolution

You can bump and grind
Have a good time
You can bump and grind
Have a good time

Bump and grind
Have a good time

U2 - Where The Streets Have No Name (Flood Remix)

All I can do

Our love turns to rust

We’re beaten and blown by the wind

Blown by the wind

Oh, and I see our love

Our love turns to rust

And our love turns to rust

We’re beaten and blown by the wind

Trampled in dust

I’ll show you this place

High on a desert plain

Where the streets have no face, oh-ha

Where the streets have no love

Where the streets have no name

We’re still building the burning down our love

Burning down love

And when I go there

Where the streets have no love

I wanna reach out and touch the flame…yeah

Strange steps 

Heels turned black

The cinders, the cinders

You suddenly complete me

Flow sweetly hang heavy

You suddenly complete me

You suddenly complete me

Violent Femmes - Mother Of A Girl

You look like you could be the mother of a girl

a girl I hated more than any other girl in the world

the way I let her treat me was totally a disgrace

I wanted to permanently wipe that smile off her face

no I'm not joking

yes I was choking

You look like you could be the mother of a girl

a girl I loved more than any other girl in the world

the way that i treated her was totally a crime

I wanted to permanently wipe the joy out of my mind

No I'm not joking

yes I was choking

You look like you could be the mother of a boy

who bored me more than any other man in the land

the way that he dogged me like I was totally a jerk

I wanted to permanently pound his prick into the dirt

no I'm not joking

yes I was choking

Morrissey - Home Is a Question Mark

I have seen many shores
I hug the land but nothing more
Because I haven't met you
I've wined and I've dined
With every bogus music mogul
No sign of you
I've brushed and I've rubbed
Pressing pounds excluding charms
But never in arms

And that's why home is a question mark
Home is some place I dunno
Home is a question mark
Home is some place I dunno

I have been brave
Deep in every shaven cave
And were you
Another film on replay
This time, Hell with Guillaume Canet
For English me

Smashing Pumpkins - Blue

Hey blue, all your love is strange

Come out with all those crazy names

So true when you lie

For you, blue

Right or wrong

I belong

Right or wrong

Hey blue, where'd you run to now?

Miss you since they found you out

I've been waiting such a long time

For your smile, for you

I lay with you this velvet morning

Stay with me for a while

Where we run to is up to you

Just stay with me for a while

Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit

Load up on guns, bring your friends

It's fun to lose and to pretend

She's over-bored and self-assured

Oh no, I know a dirty word

Hello, hello, hello, how low

Hello, hello, hello, how low

Hello, hello, hello, how low

Hello, hello, hello

With the lights out, it's less dangerous

Here we are now, entertain us

I feel stupid and contagious

Here we are now, entertain us

A mulatto, an albino

A mosquito, my libido

Yeah, hey, yay

I'm worse at what I do best

And for this gift, I feel blessed

Our little group has always been

And always will until the end

Hello, hello, hello, how low

Hello, hello, hello, how low

W ith the lights out, it's less dangerous

Cocteau Twins - Smile

Long shadows circle the air

I really need to know if you are in love (in love)

Long till the skies to stab you dead

I really need to know if I see you back in bed (in bed)

Closer the worlds that we led

Criticize just an excuse to lose your

Life, it's yours

It's yours

Damon

You’re sky-blown

Depeche Mode - Told You So

And do those feet in modern times

Walk upon the flowers

And walk upon their brothers

While their heads are busy lying low

Trying to keep to cover...oh

Something went wrong

Along the way

Everybody's waiting for

Judgment day

So they can go

Told you so

Bring me my gun of itching desire

Bring me my bullets and I will fire

Sights set higher than the tall church spire

Standing in line

The blind lead the blind

Waiting and waiting

For an overdue sign

Brothers and sisters

Playing Chinese whispers

If things aren't suited

Then they'll get diluted

There's one more dead with a hole in his head

He shouldn't have said all the things he said

Many tears were shed for the blood he bled

Kaiser Chiefs - Meanwhile Up In Heaven

Picture yourself by a rocket

Picture yourself in a glittering silver suit

Picture yourself getting on it

Saluting the news crews, you're the new recruit

Do you remember the numbers

Hung on the door of the house where you grew up?

Do you remember the colours

Tied round the handles of last year's FA Cup

Meanwhile up in Heaven, they're waiting for you, waiting for you

And if you believe them, you will see them when you

Are ready to

Guided by love and a flashlight

Led by consuming desire for a good idea

Lighting the clock on the dashboard

It's not worked ten years, but I know that it's still there

Meanwhile up in Heaven, they're waiting for you, waiting for you

And if you believe them, you will see them when you

Meanwhile up in Heaven, they're waiting for you, waiting for you

And if you believe them, you will see them when you

Are ready to

Your mind is the key, it is the key that sets you free

Your mind is the key, it is the key that sets you free

Meanwhile up in Heaven, they're waiting for you, waiting for you

And if you believe them, you will see them when you

Are ready to...

Garbage - Magnetized

I'm not in love, I'm not in love

And there will be no future tense for us

I cannot lie, I know it isn't right to want you

Most of the time I stop myself from trying to touch you

I'm magnetized, I'm magnetized

I'm magnetized, I'm magnetized by you

You bring your light, I'll bring the pain

You bring your joy, I'll bring my shame

I want to kiss the scar that rips your shoulder

Get so close that it hurts

Every time I feel us growing closer

You pull back

I'm magnetized, I'm magnetized

(I'm magnetized by you)

I'm magnetized, I'm magnetized

(I'm magnetized by you)

There's nothing I can do

It's all a fantasy

I would risk everything

Set fire to the house

Pack my bags and walk out

But would you want me to

If I was free?

I'm not in love, I'm not in love

I'm not in love, I'm not in love

I'm not in love, I'm not in love

I'm not in love, I'm not in love

I'm magnetized by you

I'm magnetized by you

I'm magnetized by you

(Magnetized)

I'm magnetized by you

(I'm magnetized)

I'm magnetized by you

(I'm magnetized)

I'm magnetized by you

I'm magnetized by you

There's nothing I can do

It's all a fantasy

PJ Harvey - Missed

He should not be hid

He’s just too big

In a cloud

Please come down

I’d put stars

at your feet

put Mars

at your head

show yourself to me

and I’d believe

I’d moan

and I’d weep

fall silent

when you speak

I’d burst it

full to the brim

Mary lost her head

and let it bleed

came crying

back to me

My son

where’s he been?

Don’t deny it

don’t you hide him.

No, I’ve missed him

No word

no sign,

Mary say

I’m not lying –

how come

he’s so big,

but good lord

he’s been hid?

Good lord,

where you hid?

The Jesus And Mary Chain - Cut Dead

What can I do

It's gotten me beaten black and blue

Why don't you know

You got me moving much too slow

Why can't you see

You got me chasing honey bees

You made me fall

Broke me up and took it all

Call me your messed up boy

Just what I've found

You knock my body to the ground

Just what I've said

You're tearing up my weary head

Do I still shine

After such a lonely time

You cut me dead

You nail me down and kick my head

Cut dead your messed up boy

hey hey hey

hey hey hey

hey hey hey

Sex Pistols - No Feelings

I've seen you in the mirror when the story began
And I fell in love with you I love your mortal sin
Your brains are locked away but I love your company
I only ever leave you when you got no money
I got no emotions for anybody else
You better understand I'm in love with myself,
Myself, my beautiful self

A no feelings
A no feelings
A no feelings
For anybody else

Hello and goodbye in a run around sue
You follow me around like a pretty pot of glue
I kick you in the head you got nothing to say
Get out of the way 'cause I gotta get away
You never realize I take the piss out of you
You come up and see me and I'll beat you black and blue
One day I'll send you away

I got no feelings
A no feelings
A no feelings
For anybody else
Except for myself, my beautiful selfish

There ain't no moonlight after midnight
I see you silly people out looking for delight
Well I'm so happy I'm feeling so fine
I'm watching all the rubbish, you're wasting my time
I look around your house, you got nothing to steal
I kick you in the brains when you get down to kneel
And pray, you pray to your god

No feelings
A no feelings
A no feelings
For anybody else
A no feelings
A no feelings
A no feelings
For anybody else
Except for myself
Your daddy's gone away
Be back another day
See his picture hanging on your wall>

The Sisters Of Mercy - Nine While Nine

And it's passing strange
And I'm waiting for the train
Caught up on this line again
And it's passing slowly
Killing time but it's
Better than living in what will come and I've
Still got some of your letters with me and I
Thought sometimes or I read too much
And I think you know let's
Drink to the dead lying under the water and the
Cost of the blood on the driven snow and the
Lipstick on my cigarettes
Frost upon the window pane
Nine while nine and I'm waiting
For the train.....

She said do you remember a time when angels
Do you remember a time when fear
In the days when I was stronger
In the days when you were here she said
When days had no beginning
While days had no end when
Shadows grew no longer I
Knew no other friend but you
Were wild
You were wild.....

Frost upon these cigarettes
Lipstick on the window pane and I've
Lost all sense of the world outside but I
Can't forget so I call your name and I'm
Looking for a life for me and I'm
Looking for a life for you and I'm
Talking to myself again and it's
So damn cold it's just not true and I'm
Walking through the rain
Trying to hold on waiting for the train and I'm
Only looking for what you want but it's
Lonely here and I think you knew and I'm
And I'm waiting
And I wait in vain
Nine while nine and I'm waiting
For the train...

And I'm waiting
And I wait in vain
Nine while nine and I'm waiting
For the train...

Siouxsie And The Banshees - Shadowtime

The voice asleep, the voice has vanished

From the top of the sky to the place below

Touch the surface and the mirror bends

Your words resound, out of control

Freeze into time now

Still inside yet doubt survives

It all begins beneath the skin

No-one is near, no-one will hear

Your changeling song takes shape

In Shadowtime

Turn your wish to a vapour, the silhouette fades

Eclipse your blue eyes and the outline remains

From the house of the moon to the stars up above

Amidst the comets, first sight of love

So begin the countdown

Falling sky, a solar sigh

It all begins beneath the skin

No-one is near, no-one will hear

Your changeling song takes shape

In Shadowtime

Shadowtime

Catching fire, taking hold

All that glisters leaves you cold

No-one is near, no-one will hear

Your changeling song takes shape

In Shadowtime

Shadowtime

Snow Patrol - Signal Fire

The perfect words never crossed my mind

Cause there was nothin' in there but you

I felt every ounce of me screaming out

But the sound was trapped deep in me

All I wanted just sped right past me

While I was rooted fast to the earth

I could be stuck here for a thousand years

Without your arms to drag me out

There you are standing right in front of me

There you are standing right in front of me

All this fear falls away to leave me naked

Hold me close, cause I need you to guide me to safety

No, I don't wanna wait forever

No, I don't wanna wait forever

In the confusion and the aftermath

You are my signal fire

The only resolution and the only joy

Is the faint spark of forgiveness in your eyes

There you are standing right in front of me

There you are standing right in front of me

All this fear falls away to leave me naked

Hold me close, cause I need you to guide me to safety

There you are standing right in front of me

There you are standing right in front of me

All this fear falls away to leave me naked

Hold me close, cause I need you to guide me to safety

No, I don't wanna wait forever

No, I don't wanna wait forever

No, I don't wanna wait forever

No, I don't wanna wait forever

Echo & The Bunnymen - Scissors in The Sand

Ethereally mine

Magic trees

They really used to shine

My silver leaves

Bet you're wondering how

Bet you're wondering how

Bet you're wondering how

Bet you're wondering how

Scissors in the sand

Rubberised

Watch his other hand

Ventriloquised

Bet you're wondering who

Bet you're wondering who

Bet you're wondering who

Bet you're wondering who

Something on the roof

And in the wall

My silverfishing youth

Swim don't crawl

Bet you're wondering how

Bet you're wondering how

Bet you're wondering how

Bet you're wondering how

Scissors in the sand

Rubberised

Watch his other hand

Ventriloquised

Bet you're wondering why

Bet you're wondering why

Bet you're wondering why

Bet you're wondering why

The Cure - Other Voices

Whisper your name in an empty room

You brush past my skin

As soft as fur

Taking hold

I taste your scent

Distant noises

Other voices

Pounding in my broken head

Commit the sin

Commit yourself

And all the other voices said

Change your mind

You’re always wrong

Come around at Christmas

I really have to see you

Smile at me slyly

Another festive compromise

But I live with desertion

And eight million people

Distant noises

Other voices

Pulsing in my swinging arms

Caress the sound

So many dead

And all the other voices said

Change your mind

You’re always wrong
