Pearl Jam - All Those Yesterdays

Don't you think you oughtta rest?
Don't you think you oughtta lay you head down?
Don't you think you want to sleep?
Don't you think you oughtta lay your head down
Tonight?

Don't you think you've done enough?
Oh, don't you think you've got enough? well maybe...
You don't think there's time to stop
There's time enough for you to lay your head down,
Tonight, tonight

Let it wash away
All those yesterdays

What are you running from?
Taking pills to get along
Creating walls to call your own
So no one catches you?
Drifting off and doing all the things...
That we... all do

Let them wash away
All those yesterdays
All those yesterdays
All those paper plates
All those yesterdays

You've got time... you've got time to escape
There's still time... it's no crime to escape
It's no crime to escape... it's no crime to escape
There's still time, so escape
It's no crime, crime...

Fields Of The Nephilim - Hollow Doll

From the pure sweet core the tears awake
You're beautiful, so wipe those fears away
Come, embrace me. The light is yours
Underneath me, rock back in force
You're so good, Your form divine
Punish your angels way beyond tonight
I feel her soft hand, it comes alive
She gives me the same cold look, I want to cut out her eyes
She's seeing all my hates and pains, but that's okay
I'm just pouring them out again

And I'm feeling that way, a kind of warm, kind of pain
Wake in the bad dreams
Gettin' me down kinda day
Let them pay to feel this way, living a bad dream
Nothing else is quite the same

Hollow doll, you lied again
Don't come here to pray so full of lie
This fantasy's in vain like a cancer forms inside
Regarding the pain I'm counting again
Recover from this doll who you burning for

This is the heathen, the light is yours
I can't forget and I can't escape
It's kind of warm, kind of pain, I can't explain
I came here to feel this way
My feelings are dead
Nothing here is quite the same

The Smiths - Girl Afraid

Girl afraid
Where do his intentions lay?
Or does he even have any?

She says:
"He never really looks at me
I give him every opportunity
In the room downstairs
He sat and stared
In the room downstairs
He sat and stared
I'll never make that mistake again!"

Boy afraid
Prudence never pays
And everything she wants costs money

"But she doesn't even LIKE me!
And I know because she said so
In the room downstairs
She sat and stared
In the room downstairs
She sat and stared
I'll never make that mistake again!

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - All Rise

Maybe I was yours to keep

Burning in the eyes you weep

Someday I will take your hand

Moving through another land

And every single second is

What's given from the love you had

But I'll be right behind your eyes

Turning to a love you hide

And every single breath you take

I'll be holding on against the weight

Maybe I was yours to fall

Turning till the sand would stop (Turned by wave)

Till every single heart forgave

And whispered through the arms of grace (Whispered away)

And I'll be right behind your eyes

Looking through a world you hide

Till every single want betrayed

And I'll be holding on against the wave

Moments only seem to pass

Days are never going to last

Without you I never had a chance

From the moment you held my hand

I was trying to be someone I can't

But this feeling wouldn't let me back

And I was tired of waiting for you to rise

Hanging on a single breath

Screaming till there's nothing left

This is all we'll ever find

Broken as the world unwinds

The Temper Trap - Tombstone

Lions all around me

Truth can be lies and the devil don't want you free

Can anybody be

My mind wanders around

Though I'm caged oh let me out

Unmarked are the tombstones but the family still cares

There were so many words I should've never kept

And oh, you got stuck in a spider's web

But I'll cut you free

And I'll cut you free

And oh, as we stare at your wounds

We're howling

We're howling, we're howling for you

We're howling for you

I saw what you saw but there was something else

You know your love has bound your feet

And you're casting shadows to deceive me

I never knew how it could be

I took a lot, I took once more

I want to do something to show you to me

Cause you know that no one really knows me

And oh, you got stuck in a spider's web

But I'll cut you free

And I'll cut you free

And oh, as I stare at your wounds

We're howling

We're howling, we're howling for you

We're howling for you

Unmarked are the tombstones but the family still cares

There were so many words I should've never kept

I'll cut you free, I'll cut you free

I'll cut you free, I'll cut you free

And oh, you got stuck in a spider's web

But I'll cut you free

I'll cut you free

And oh, I stare at your wounds

We're howling

We're howling, we're howling for you

We're howling for you

Unmarked are the tombstones but the family still cares

There were so many words I should've never kept

Bob Marley & The Wailers - Lively Up Yourself

Lively up yourself and don't be no drag
Lively up yourself, 'cause this is the other bag
Hey, lively up yourself and don't be no drag
You lively up yourself, dig it, the other bag

PJ Harvey - Sheela-na-gig

I’ve been trying to show you over and over

Look at these my child-bearing hips
Look at these my ruby-red, ruby lips
Look at these my work-strong arms
You’ve got to see my bottleful of charm
I lay it all at your feet
You turn around and say back to me

He said
Sheela na gig, Sheela na gig
You exhibitionist!

I’m gonna wash that man right out of my hair
Just like the first time, said you didn’t care
Wash that man right out of my hair
Heard it before, no more
Wash that man right out of my hair
Turn the corner, another one there
Wash that man right out of my hair
Heard it before

He said,
Sheela na gig, Sheela na gig
You exhibitionist!
Put money in your idle hole

Gonna wash that man right out of my hair
Just like the first time, said you didn’t care
Wash that man right out of my hair
Heard it before, no more
Take my hips to a man who cares
Turn the corner, another one there
Take my hips to a man who cares
Heard it before

He said,
Sheela na gig, Sheela na gig
You exhibitionist!
Put money in your idle hole

He said,
Wash your breasts, I don’t want to be unclean
He said,
Please take those dirty pillows away from me

Ian McCulloch - The Flickering Wall

In my world, my little world

Life lies upon the floor

The wind blows in and out again

Through windows and through doors

And it's there I'll look

And it's there I'll find

What it was I started after

When I mistook what I had in mind

For something made to matter

I heard the footsteps in the street

I saw the lights on the flickering wall

I moved my lips but I couldn't speak

Choked on the wonder of it all

Choked on the wonder of it all

In my dreams, recurring dreams

But I was never there

Life is still invisible

Just needing to be where

With any luck I might just find

What it was I started after

When I undertook what I had in mind

When everything mattered

When I saw the gods up in the sky

I saw the lights on the flickering wall

I saw the world through hazel eyes

And choked on the wonder of it all

Choked on the wonder of it all

I heard the footsteps in the street

I saw the lights on the flickering wall

I moved my lips but I couldn't speak

Choked on the wonder of it all

When I saw the gods up in the sky

I saw the lights on the flickering wall

I saw the world through hazel eyes

And choked on the wonder of it all

Choked on the wonder of it all

Choked on the wonder

Choked on the wonder

Choked on the wonder of it all

Garbage - Dog New Tricks

I wish I had not woke up today

Everyone mistakes the things you say

Take the simple truth and

Twist it all around

Make it sound important

Make it seem profound

Dog new tricks

Nothing you learn will stick

White Lies - Morning In LA

Sometimes I have to wake up

But it's all a little painful

All the street noise

This city's make up

Too heavy for me to shake off

Is it morning in LA?

I need to talk to my friend

Or maybe night time in Shanghai

Tell them what I'm feeling

They all got disconnected

And I'm left hanging on, hanging on

There's some days, where I think of leaving

But I'm discouraged by some feeling

All places of which I'm dreaming

Could break a heart instead of healing

Is it morning in LA?

I need to talk to my friend

Or maybe night time in Shanghai

Tell them what I'm feeling

They all got disconnected

And I'm left hanging on, hanging on

Is it morning in LA?

I need to talk to my friend

Or maybe night time in Shanghai

Tell them what I'm feeling

They all got disconnected

And I'm left hanging on, hanging on

Is it morning in LA?

Is it morning in LA?

Is it morning in LA?

Cause I'm left hanging on, hanging on

Ramones - Everytime I Eat Vegetables It Makes Me Think Of You

She was a really good friend
A really good friend to me, yeah
She was a really good friend
A really good friend to me, yeah

But they took her away
Tossed her in the bin
Now she's hanging out
In East Berlin, ow-ooo

She had a very bad affair
With some cat from Hiroshima
She turned into a head of lettuce
She eats Thorazine in her farina
But they took her away
Tossed her in the bin
Now she's hanging out
In East Berlin, ow-ooo

And everytime I eat vegetables
It makes me think of you
And everytime I eat vegetables
I don't know what to do, to do ow-ooo

U2 - Stay (Underdog Mix)

Green light, Seven Eleven

You stop in for a pack of cigarettes

You don’t smoke, don’t even want to

Hey now, check your change

Dressed up like a car crash

Your wheels are turning but you’re upside down

You say when he hits you, you don’t mind

Because when he hurts you, you feel alive

Oh now, is that what it is?

Red light, gray morning

You stumble out of a hole in the ground

A vampire or a victim

It depends on who’s around

You’d to stay in to watch the adverts

You could lip synch to the talk shows

And if you look, you look through me

And when you talk, you talk at me

And when I touch you, you don’t feel a thing

If I could stay… then the night would give you up

Stay… and the day would keep its trust

Stay… and the night would be enough

Faraway, so close

Up with the static and the radio

With satellite television

You can go anywhere

Miami, New Orleans

London, Belfast and Berlin

And if you listen I can’t call

And if you jump, you just might fall

And if you shout, I’ll only hear you

But if you stay… then the night would break it’s trust

Stay… and the day would give you

Stay… with the spirits you found

Stay… and the night will be enough

Doo doo doo

Doo, doo doo doo

Doo, doo doo doo

Dah, dah dah dah

Dah, dah nah nah

Dah, dah nah nah

Dah, dah nah nah

Doo, doo doo doo

And if you listen I can’t call

And if you jump, you just might fall

And if you shout, I’ll only hear you

But if you stay

Then the day would give you up

Stay… with the demons you drowned

Stay… with the spirits you found

Stay… and the night will be enough

Three o’clock in the morning

It’s quiet and there’s no one around

Just the bang and the clatter

As an angel runs to ground

Just the bang

And the clatter

As an angel

Hits the ground

Anneke van Giersbergen & Agua de Annique - Wonder

Drove on by your house today

I know it's hard to stay away

It's alright, you pick a fight

But my heart is on the tray

Whatever you may think of me

You know that there'll never be

Someone who loves you more than I do

One day you will understand

You had me in the palm of your hand

And I will be gone, I leave you to wonder

I took a breath, looked at your door

The times that I've been here before

Your smiling face, your warm embrace

Those days are not here anymore

Whatever you may think of me

You know that there'll never be

Someone who loves you more than I do

One day you will understand

You had me in the palm of your hand

And I will be gone, I leave you to wonder

Drove on by, I don't know why

It's so hard to stay away

I kiss goodbye, a teary eye

It's another lonely day

The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Little Wing

Well, she's walking through the clouds

With a circus mind that's running wild

Butterflies and Zebras

And Moonbeams and fairy tales

That's all she ever thinks about

Riding with the wind

When I'm sad, she comes to me

With a thousand smiles she gives to me free

It's alright, she says it's alright

Take anything you want from me

Anything

Fly on little wing

Cat Power - Nothing Really Matters

When I see your face in the crowd

With a look of obsession

There's no subtle way to say

There's plenty of defense and discretion

Even with what's left

All the gifts put outside

It's like nothing really matters

How can other people's ways

Be an estimate of your way of life?

Can't the words, and birds, and trees, and Earth

Be the same thing, and be just as right?

It's hard, a learned test

It's so hard, a learned test

It's like nothing really matters

It's like nothing really matters

It's like nothing really matters to them

The courage to turn it around

If he could see the different way

If he could turn it on its knee and bend it down

It wouldn't really matter

But outside, a learned test

A learned test

R.E.M. - At My Most Beautiful

I’ve found a way…to make you,

I’ve found a way,

A way…to make you smile.

I read bad poetry

Into your machine.

I save your messages

Just to hear your voice.

You always listen carefully

To awkward rhymes.

You always say your name,

Like I wouldn’t know it’s you.

At your most beautiful.

I’ve found a way to make you,

I’ve found a way…

A way to make you smile.

At my most beautiful.

I count your eyelashes, secretly.

With every one, whisper, “I love you”.

I let you sleep.

I know your closed eye watching me

Listening,

I thought I saw a smile.

I’ve found a way to make you,

I’ve found a way,

A way to make you smile.

Alanis Morissette - Not All Me

I wear their face on top of my face
I am the perfect target screen
For your blindly fueled rage

I bare the brunt of your long buried pain
I don't mind helping you out
But I want you to remember my name

It's not all me
It's not all my fault
I may remind you
But I won't take it all on

Past riddled rage
I see the buttons I engage
With my dignity in place
I'm all too happy to assuage

It's not all me
It's not all my fault
I may remind you
But I won't take it all on

Lest I find my voice
Find the strength to stand up to you
Lest I stay to my limit
And take on only what is mine to

We are a team
I'm here to help mend and re-seam

The Toy Dolls - You Won't Be Merry On A North Sea Ferry

An ad on the tele put a lump in my belly

Sail with the North Sea Sail with the North Sea ferries

You'll laugh all the way with so little to pay

Sail with the North Sea Sail with the North Sea boys

The food will choke you, the staff provoke you

The captain doesn't care no

The captain doesn't care no

Ahoy! Sailings everyday, ahoy it's the only way

I feel sick I feel sick,

North Sea ferrie's done the trick

Ahoy beat the traffic jam, ahoy Hull to Rotterdam

Ooh I booked North Sea Ferries

What a silly boy

You won't be merry on a North Sea Ferry

Ahoy! Ahoy! Ahoy!

Sail with the North Sea Sail with the North Sea ferries

So book a trip on a North Sea Ferry ship

Sail with the North Sea Sail with the North Sea boys

Echo & The Bunnymen - Run, Run, Run (Live)

Teenage Mary said to Uncle Dave

"I sold my soul, must be saved

Gonna take a walk down to Union Square

You never know who you're gonna find there"

You gotta run, run, run, run, run

Take a drag or two

Run, run, run, run, run

Gypsy Death and you

Tell you whatcha do

Marguerita Passion had to get her fix

She wasn't well, she was getting sick

Went to sell her soul, down to Union Square

Didn't know, thinks she could buy it

And she would run, run, run, run, run

Take a drag or two

Run, run, run, run, run

Gypsy Death and you

Tell you whatcha do

Beardless Harry, what a waste

Couldn't even get a small-town taste

Rode the trolleys down to forty-seven

Figured he was good to get himself to heaven

Cause he had to run, run, run, run, run

Take a drag or two

Run, run, run, run, run

Gypsy Death and you

Tell you whatcha do

Seasick Sarah had a golden nose

Hobnail boots wrapped around her toes

When she turned blue, all the angels screamed

They didn't know they couldn't make the scene

She had to run, run, run, run, run

Take a drag or two

Run, run, run, run, run

Gypsy Death and you

Tell you whatcha do

Take me home

(originally recorded by The Velvet Underground)

James - Seven

Blow me away
Was that love you declared
Only a word
Love can mean anything

I understand the world, we're living in

Oceans apart
What's that view from your wave
Beautiful craft
Weather and change

I understand the world, we're living in
Love can mean anything

God made love to me
Soothed away my gravity
Made me a pair of angel's wings
Clear vision and some magic things

God is love to me
Thank you for those things

I understand the world, we're living in
Love can mean anything

Darling, I'm open
Unguarded, unbroken

Now we've done our time
We can drift away
Like the heavy cloud
With the weight of rain

I understand the world, we're living in
Love can mean anything

I understand the world, we're living in
Love can change anything

I understand the world, we're living in
Love can mean anything

I understand the world, we're living in
Love can change anything

The Clash - Rock The Casbah

Now the king told the boogie men

You have to let that raga drop

The oil down the desert way

Has been shakin' to the top

The sheik he drove his Cadillac

He went a' cruisin' down the ville

The muezzin was a' standing

On the radiator grille

The shareef don't like it

Rock the Casbah

Rock the Casbah

The shareef don't like it

Rock the Casbah

Rock the Casbah

By order of the prophet

We ban that boogie sound

Degenerate the faithful

With that crazy Casbah sound

But the Bedouin they brought out

The electric camel drum

The local guitar picker

Got his guitar picking thumb

As soon as the shareef

Had cleared the square

They began to wail

The shareef don't like it

Rock the Casbah

Rock the Casbah

The shareef don't like it

Rock the Casbah

Rock the Casbah

Now over at the temple

Oh! They really pack 'em in

The in crowd say it's cool

To dig this chanting thing

But as the wind changed direction

And the temple band took five

The crowd caught a whiff

Of that crazy Casbah jive

The shareef don't like it

Rock the Casbah

Rock the Casbah

The shareef don't like it

Rock the Casbah

Rock the Casbah

The king called up his jet fighters

He said you better earn your pay

Drop your bombs between the minarets

Down the Casbah way

As soon as the shareef was

Chauffeured outta there

The jet pilots tuned to

The cockpit radio blare

As soon as the shareef was

Outta their hair

The jet pilots wailed

The shareef don't like it

Rock the Casbah

Rock the Casbah

The shareef don't like it

Rock the Casbah

Rock the Casbah

He thinks it's not kosher

Fundamentally he can't take it.

You know he really hates it.

The Sound - The Fire

Fell into the fire

I was led by the heart

Led by the heart

Drawn towards the heat

Drawn towards the heat

Too fierce to contain

I'm a willing victim of circumstance

Siouxsie And The Banshees - Mirage

I'm just a vision on your TV screen

Just something conjured from a dream

Seen thro' your x-ray eyes,

A see-thro' scene

The image is no images

It's not what it seems.

My limbs are like palm trees

Swaying in no breeze

My body's an oasis

To drink from as you please

I'm not seeing what I'm meant to believe in

Your non excuse for human being.

It's not plain to see

That I'm playing with me

A photo-fit of loose ends, framed in 3-D

Seen thro' your x-ray eyes,

A see-thro' scene

The image is no images

It's not what it seems

Pearl Jam - Love Boat Captain

Is this just another day,... this god forgotten place?

First comes love, then comes pain. Let the games begin,...

Questions rise and answers fall,... insurmountable.

Love boat captain

Take the reigns and steer us towards the clear,... here.

It's already been sung, but it can't be said enough.

All you need is love

Is this just another phase? Earthquakes making waves,...

Trying to shake the cancer off? Stupid human beings,...

Once you hold the hand of love,.. it's all surmountable.

Hold me, and make it the truth,...

That when all is lost there will be you,...

Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing

And there's just one word I stil believe

And it's

It's an art to live with pain,... mix the light into grey,..

Lost 9 friends we'll never know,.. 2 years ago today

And if our lives became too long, would it add to our regret?

And the young, they can lose hope cause they can't see beyond today,...

The wisdom that the old can't give away

Hey,...

Constant recoil...

Sometimes life

Don't leave you alone.

Hold me, and make it the truth,...

That when all is lost there will be you.

Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing

And there's just one word that I still believe and it's

Love,... love. love. love. love.

Love boat captain

Take the reins,.. steer us towards the clear.

I know it's already been sung,... can't be said enough.

Love is all you need,.. all you need is love,..

Love,.. love,...

Love.

The Gathering - Adrenaline

What makes you forget is the structure

You're in, all your life

Can't you feel there is the animal inside

Growing roots, still, inside your mind

Suppress your underbeing and let them rule

You don't care, yeah you don't give a damn

As long as you've got your car

Do you actually go so far, as giving in your

Adrenaline away

Anna von Hausswolff - Liturgy Of Light

Liturgy of light, I am going backwards

To be more precise: are we still here?

History of shame, I will not spell it

Liturgy of light, it's fading out

Well it's a hard life that we share

It's a hard life for us young ones

It's written all around

Some of it is true, but we can't see it

The news are full of faults, where's all the hope?

All together now: can we recite it?

Say liturgy of light, it's fading out

Well it's a hard life that we share

It's a hard life for us young ones

And it's a long road that we share

It's a long road for us young ones

It's written all around, all around

It's written all around, all around

The Kills - Sugar Baby

Got no sugar baby now

It's all I can do, to seek peace with you

And I can't get along this a way

No, I can't get along this a way

All I can do, all I can say

Gonna send it to your mama next pay day

I'll send it to your mama next pay day

Who'll rock the cradle, who'll sing the song

Who'll rock the cradle when I'm gone?

Who'll rock the cradle when I'm gone?

I'll rock the cradle, I'll sing the song

I'll rock the cradle when you're gone

I'll rock the cradle when you're gone

Got no honey baby now

I got no honey baby now

I got no sugar baby now

So, all I can say, all I can do

And I can't make a living with you

No, I can't make a living with you

Iron Maiden - Empire Of The Clouds

To ride the storm, to an empire of the clouds

To ride the storm, they climbed aboard their silver ghost

To ride the storm, to a kingdom that will come

To ride the storm, and damn the rest, oblivion

Royalty and dignitaries, brandy and cigars

Gray Lady, giant of the skies, you hold them in your arms

"The millionth chance," they laughed, "to take down His Majesty's craft."

"To India," they say, "magic carpet float away," an October fateful day

Mist is in the trees, stone sweats with the dew

The morning sunrise, red before the blue

Hanging at the mast, waiting for command

His majesty's airship, the R101

She's the biggest vessel built by man, a giant of the skies

For all you unbelievers, the Titanic fits inside

Drum roll tight, her canvas skin, silvered in the sun

Never tested with the fury, with a beating yet to come

The fury yet to come….

In the gathering gloom, the storm rising in the West

The Coxswain stared into the plunging weather glass

We must go now, we must take our chance with fate

We must go now, for a politician, he can't be late

The airship crew awake for thirty hours at full stretch,

But the ship is in their backbone, every sinew, every inch

She never flew at full speed, a trial never done

Her fragile outer cover, her Achilles would become

An Achilles yet to come...

Sailors of the sky, a hardened breed

Loyal to the king, and an airship creed

The engines drum, the telegraph sounds

Release the cords that bind us to the ground

Said the Coxswain, "Sir, she's heavy, she'll never make this flight."

Said the Captain, "Damn the cargo! We'll be on our way tonight."

Groundlings cheered in wonder, as she backed off from the mast

Baptizing them her water, from the ballast fore and aft

Now she slips into our past…

Fighting the wind as it rolls you,

Feeling the diesels that push you along

Watching the Channel below you,

Lower and lower, into the night

Lights are passing below you

Northern France, asleep in their beds

Storm is raging around you,

A million to one, that's what he said

Reaper standing beside her

With his scythe cuts to the bone

Panic to make a decision

Experienced men, asleep in their graves

Her cover is ripped and she's drowning

Rain is flooding into the hull

Bleeding to death and she's falling

Lifting gas is draining away

"We're down lads!" came the cry, bow plunging from the sky

Three thousand horses silent as the ship began to die

The flares to guide her path ignited at the last

The empire of the clouds, just ashes in our past

Just ashes at the last…

Here lie their dreams as I stand in the sun

On the ground where they built, and the engines did run

To the moon and the stars, now what have we done?

Oh, the dreamers may die, but the dreams live on

Dreams live on

Dreams live on

Now a shadow on a hill, the angel of the east

The empire of the clouds may rest in peace

And in a country churchyard, laid head to the mast

Eight and forty souls, who came to die in France…
