Rage Against The Machine - Snakecharmer

Satellites and pair of mirrors and
And a man without a home
With a horse and a rider
And a clever, cunning killer
Silent in error and vocal in spotlights
Lying always, sucking on a bottle of
That sweet indulgent fluid
Oh greed, oh yes, oh greed, oh yes
Oh greed, oh yes

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Twenty-six years in this stage)
(You're twenty-six years in this stage)
Your friendship is a fog
That disappears when the wind redirects
You
Yes, you

Father's expectations
Soul soaked in spit and urine
And you gotta make it where?
To a sanctuary that's a fragile American hell
An empty dream
A selfish, horrific vision
Passed on like the deadliest of viruses
Crushing you and your naive profession

Have no illusions, boy
Vomit all ideals and serve
Sleep and wake and serve and
Don't just think, just wake and serve and

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Twenty-six years in this stage)
(You're twenty-six years in this stage)
Yeah, your friendship is a fog
That disappears when the wind redirects

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - O Children

Pass me that lovely little gun
My dear, my darling one
The cleaners are coming, one by one
You don’t even want to let them start

They are knocking now upon your door
They measure the room, they know the score
They’re mopping up the butcher’s floor
Of your broken little hearts

O children

Forgive us now for what we’ve done
It started out as a bit of fun
Here, take these before we run away
The keys to the gulag

O children
Lift up your voice, lift up your voice
Children
Rejoice, rejoice

Here comes Frank and poor old Jim
They’re gathering round with all my friends
We’re older now, the light is dim
And you are only just beginning

O children

We have the answer to all your fears
It’s short, it’s simple, it’s crystal clear
It’s round about, it’s somewhere here
Lost amongst our winnings

O children
Lift up your voice, lift up your voice
Children
Rejoice, rejoice

The cleaners have done their job on you
They’re hip to it, man, they’re in the groove
They’ve hosed you down, you’re good as new
They’re lining up to inspect you

O children

Poor old Jim’s white as a ghost
He’s found the answer that was lost
We’re all weeping now, weeping because
There ain’t nothing we can do to protect you

O children
Lift up your voice, lift up your voice
Children
Rejoice, rejoice

Hey little train!We are all jumping on
The train that goes to the Kingdom
We’re happy, Ma, we’re having fun
And the train ain’t even left the station

Hey, little train!Wait for me!
I once was blind but now I see
Have you left a seat for me?
Is that such a stretch of the imagination?
Hey little train!Wait for me!

I was held in chains but now I’m free
I’m hanging in there, don’t you see
In this process of elimination

Hey little train!We are all jumping on
The train that goes to the Kingdom
We’re happy, Ma, we’re having fun
It’s beyond my wildest expectation

Hey little train!We are all jumping on
The train that goes to the Kingdom
We’re happy, Ma, we’re having fun
And the train ain’t even left the station

Lana Del Rey - Black Beauty

I paint my nails black
I dye my hair a darker shade of brown
'Cause you like your women Spanish
Dark, strong and proud
I paint the sky black
You said if you could have your way
You'd make it nighttime all today
So it'd suit the mood of your soul

Oh, what can I do?
Nothing, my sparrow blue
Oh, what can I do?
Life is beautiful but you don't have a clue
Sun and ocean blue
Their magnificence, it don't make sense to you

Black beauty
Black beauty

I paint the house black
My wedding dress black leather too
You have no room for light
Love is lost on you
I keep my lips red
To seem like cherries in the spring
Darling, you can't let everything
Seem so dark blue

Oh, what can I do?
To turn you on or get through you
Oh, what can I do?
Life is beautiful but you don't have a clue
Sun and ocean blue
Their magnificence, it don't make sense to you

Black beauty
Black beauty

Black beauty
Black beauty
Black beauty
Black beauty, baby
Black beauty

Oh, what can I do?
Life is beautiful but you don't have a clue
Sun and ocean blue
Their magnificence, it don't make sense to you

Black beauty

Morrissey - Life Is A Pigsty

It's the same old S.O.S.
But with brand new broken fortunes
And once again I turn to you
Once again I do I turn to you
It's the same old S.O.S.
But with brand new broken fortunes
I'm the same underneath
But this you, you surely knew

Life is a pigsty
Life is a pigsty
Life is a pigsty
Life is a pigsty
Life, life is a pigsty
Life, life is a pigsty
Life, life is a pigsty
Life is a pigsty
And if you don't know this
Then what do you know?
Every second of my life I only live for you
And you can shoot me
And you can throw me off a train
I still maintain
I still maintain
Life, life is a pigsty
Life is a pigsty
And I'd been shifting gears all of my life
But I'm still the same underneath
This you surely knew
I can't reach you
I can't reach you
I can't reach you anymore

Can you please stop time?
Can you stop the pain?
I feel too cold
And now I feel too warm again
Can you stop this pain?
Can you stop this pain?
Even now in the final hour of my life
I'm falling in love again
Again
Even now in the final hour of my life
I'm falling in love again
Again
Again
Again
I'm falling in love again
Again
Again
Again

Eddie Vedder - Hard Sun

When I walk beside her, I am the better man
When I look to leave her, I always stagger back again
Once I built an ivory tower, so I could worship from above
When I climbed down to be set free, she took me in again

There's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In the big hard world

When she comes to greet me she is mercy at my feet
And when I see her bitter charm, she just throws it back at me
Once I dug an early grave to find a better land
She just smiled and laughed at me, and took her blues back again

There's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In the big hard world

Oh, there's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In the big hard world

When I go to cross that river, she is comfort by my side
When I try to understand, she just opens up her hands

There's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In the big hard world

Once I stood to lose her when I saw what I had done
Bowed down and threw away the hours of her garden and her sun
So I tried to warn her, I turned to see her weep
40 days and 40 nights, and it's still coming down on me

There's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In a big hard world

Oh, there's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In the big hard world

Oh, there's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In the big hard world

Oh, there's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In the big hard world

There's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In the big hard world

Oh, there's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In the big hard world

There's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In the big hard world

There's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In the big hard world

There's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In the big hard world

The Smiths - Rusholme Ruffians

The last night of the fair
By the big wheel generator
A boy is stabbed and his money is grabbed
And the air hangs heavy like a dulling wine
She is famous, she is funny
An engagement ring doesn't mean a thing
To a mind consumed by brass money

And though I walk home alone
I might walk home alone
But my faith in love is still devout

The last night of the fair
From a seat on a whirling waltzer
Her skirt ascends for a watching eye
It's a hideous trait on her mother's side
From a seat on a whirling waltzer
Her skirt ascends for a watching eye
It's a hideous trait on her mother's side

And though I walk home alone
I might walk home alone
But my faith in love is still devout

Then someone falls in love
And someone's beaten up, someone's beaten up
And the senses being dulled are mine
And someone falls in love
And someone's beaten up
And the senses being dulled are mine

And though I walk home alone
I might walk home alone
But my faith in love is still devout

This is the last night of the fair
And the grease in the hair
Of a speedway operator
Is all a tremulous heart requires
A schoolgirl is denied
She said: "How quickly would I die
If I jumped from the top of the parachutes?"

This is the last night of the fair
And the grease in the hair
Of a speedway operator
Is all a tremulous heart requires
A schoolgirl is denied
She said: "How quickly would I die
If I jumped from the top of the parachutes?"

So scratch my name on your arm with a fountain pen
(This means you really love me)
Scratch my name on your arm with a fountain pen
(This means you really love me)

And though I walk home alone
I just might walk home alone
But my faith in love is still devout
I might walk home alone
But my faith in love is still devout
I might walk home alone
But my faith in love is still devout

U2 - Desire [Songs of Surrender version]

Lover, I'm off the streets
I'm gonna go where the bright lights
And the big city meet
With a red guitar, on fire
Desire.

She's the candle burnin' in my room
Yeah, I'm like the needle
The needle and spoon
Over the counter, with a shotgun
Pretty soon, everybody's got one
I'm in a fever, when I'm beside her
Desire
Desire.

And the fever, gettin' higher
Desire
Desire.
(Burning, burning).

She's the dollars
She's my protection
Yeah, she's the promise
In the year of election.
Sister I can't let you go
Like a preacher stealin' hearts at a travellin' show
For love or money, money, money... ?
And the fever, gettin' higher.
Desire.

U2 - Wire

Innocent, and in a sense I am
Guilty of the crime that's now in hand
Such a nice day
Throw your life away
Such a nice day
Let it go

Cold these eyes, I can't believe it
Cold, this heart is slow
Heart is stone

Call me
Such a cold heart
Such a cold man
Watch you tear your self apart

So lay me down
My soul to give
So lay me down
The longest sleep
Oh, the longest sleep

In I come and out you go you get
Here we are again now, place your bets
Is this the time
The time to win or lose
Is this the time
The time to choose

Cold these eyes, I can't believe it
So deep inside a cold fire
Cold, this heart is slow...
Heart is stone

Any time your on there
(Kiss me...)
Won't you tell me
That's it just give me it

In some white track
You come right back
Cartoon cutout
Cut throat let out
I'm on your side
Be on the both side
I'm on right track
You get off my back
I'm no dope
I give you hope
Here's the rope Here's the rope Now...swing away

Paradise Lost - Desolate

...

James - P.S.

You're a weapon of devotion
Keep the faithful entertained
You're a lover of attention
Found a way to pawn the soul
Disposition may be fetching
But the world moves on and leaves you far behind

I hear you, I hear you, whispering such gorgeous stories
I see you, I see you, trying to break free
You liar, you liar, you can't live the dreams you're spinning
You liar, love to be deceived

You're falling, you're falling, falling from your god-like distance
You're fashion, just fashion, fashion doesn't keep
You're sour, so sour, all this hope and trust is misplaced
You're sour, now you are alone

Walking on fire, feel the way the world's inclining
Walking on fire, hate to deceive
Walking on fire, now the world will keep its distance
Walking on fire, you rather than me

My son says, dear father, what did you do when the world turned over
Keep spinning, keep spinning, send us off to sleep
You liar, you liar, all your words are just dust and moonshine
You liar, love to be deceived
Walking on fire, found a house away from humans
Walking on fire, hate to deceive
Walking on fire, now the world will keep its distance
Walking on fire, you rather than me

Morrissey - Jack The Ripper [Live]

Oh, you look so tired
Mouth slack and wide
Ill-housed and ill-advised
Your face is as mean as your life has been

Crash into my arms
I want you
You don't agree but you don't refuse
I know you

And I know a place
Where no-one is likely to pass
Oh, you don't care if it's late
And you don't care if you're lost

And oh, you look so tired
But tonight you've presumed too much
Too much, too much
And if it's the last thing I ever do I'm gonna get you

Crash into my arms
I want you
You don't agree but you don't refuse
I know you

And no one knows a thing about my life
I can come and go as I please
If I want to I can stay or if I want to I can leave

Nobody knows me, nobody knows me
Nobody knows me, nobody knows me

Echo & The Bunnymen - Empire State Halo

Gazed in the crystal ball
Looks like I'm lost again
Where do I find the tunnel's end
Follow the rise and fall
Of all the better men
From here to Bethlehem

All free souls beware
The moon is in my head

Around the empire state
I saw the angels fly
Heaven above and Thames below
We don't have long to wait
Ran out of alibis
Ran out of things I've ever known

The streets were paved with snow
and I saw your halo glow

And this love is just for you
And all your love
Will learn to love me too
Love me too

All free souls beware
The moon is in my head

And this love is just for you
And all your love
Will learn to love me to
Love me too

The moon is in my head

Rage Against The Machine - Know Your Enemy

Huh!
Yeah, we’re comin’ back then with another bombtrack
Think ya know what it’s all about
Huh!
Hey yo, so check this out
Yeah!
Know your enemy!
Come on!

Born with insight and a raised fist
A witness to the slit wrist, that’s with
As we move into ’92
Still in a room without a view
Ya got to know
Ya got to know
That when I say go, go, go
Amp up and amplify
Defy
I’m a brother with a furious mind
Action must be taken
We don’t need the key
We’ll break in

Something must be done
About vengeance, a badge and a gun
‘Cause I’ll rip the mike, rip the stage, rip the system
I was born to rage against ’em

Fist in ya face, in the place
And I’ll drop the style clearly
Know your enemy…Know your enemy!
Yeah!

Hey yo, and dick with this…uggh!
Word is born
Fight the war, fuck the norm
Now I got no patience
So sick of complacence
With the D the E the F the I the A the N the C the E
Mind of a revolutionary
So clear the lane
The finger to the land of the chains
What? The land of the free?
Whoever told you that is your enemy?

Now something must be done
About vengeance, a badge and a gun
‘Cause I’ll rip the mike, rip the stage, rip the system
I was born to rage against ’em

Now action must be taken
We don’t need the key
We’ll break in

I’ve got no patience now
So sick of complacence now
I’ve got no patience now
So sick of complacence now
Sick of sick of sick of sick of you
Time has come to pay…
Know your enemy!

Come on!
Yes I know my enemies
They’re the teachers who taught me to fight me
Compromise, conformity, assimilation, submission
Ignorance, hypocrisy, brutality, the elite
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams

Depeche Mode - So Much Love

I can't lie
I can't fake
I can't act
My hands shake
There's disclosure
I must make
There is so much love in me

I can't run
I have tried
There's a thorn
In my side
There is something
I can't hide
There is so much love in me

You can forsake me
Try to break me
But you can't shake me
No
You can despise me
Demonise me
It satisfies me
So

There's a fire
In my veins
The desire
Causes pain
I will say it
Again
There is so much love in me

You can forsake me
Try to break me
But you can't shake me
No
You can despise me
Demonise me
It satisfies me
So

There is so much love in me

U2 - City Of Blinding Lights [Songs of Surrender version]

The more you see the less you know
The less you find out as you go
I knew much more then than I do now

Neon heart dayglo eyes
A city lit by fireflies
They're advertising in the skies
For people like us

And I miss you when you're not around
I'm getting ready to leave the ground.

Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh

Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights

Don't look before you laugh
Look ugly in a photograph
Flash bulbs purple irises
The camera can't see

I've seen you walk unafraid
I've seen you in the clothes you made
Can you see the beauty inside of me?
What happened to the beauty I had inside of me

And I miss you when you're not around
I'm getting ready to leave the ground

Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh

Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights

Deftones - You've Seen The Butcher

Don't wanna take it slow
I wanna take you home
And watch the world explode
From underneath your glow

I wanna watch the rain
You creep across my sky

You slowly enter Because you know my room
And then crawl your knees off
Before you shake my tomb

I wanna watch you close
I need to see for sure
And then the tape is on
Who do you think we can show?

I wanna watch the rain
You creep across my sky

You slowly enter
'Cause you know my room
And then you crawl your knees off
And then you shake my tomb

I wanna watch the rain
You creep across my sky

You slowly enter
'Cause you know my room
And then you crawl your knees off
Before you shake my tomb

You enter slowly
You know my room
You crawl your knees off
And then you shake my tomb

Peter Murphy - Just For Love

There is no place like
Just for love
Just understand that
Just for love
Come with me
Just for love
It was you that I thought of

Just for love

The stars are calling you
And you've never been so luminescent
The city calls for you
Amd you've never been so luminescent

Just for love
Just for love
Just for love
Just for love

Me the shaker you the sheikh now
With every move now
I'm the mover with the groove now
Just for love
Just for love

The stars spin for you
And you've never been so luminescent
The city spins for you
And you've never been so luminescent
Just for love
Just for love
Just for love

U2 - With A Shout

Oh, where do we go,
Where do we go from here?
Where to go?
To the side of a hill
Blood was spilt
We were still looking at each other.
But we're going back there?

Jerusalem
Jerusalem

Shout, shout, with a shout
Shout it out, shout
Shout it out.

I want to go, to the foot of Mount Zion
To the foot of He who made me see
To the side of a hill blood was spilt
We were filled with a love
And we're going to be there again

Jerusalem
Jerusalem

Jerusalem
Jerusalem
Jerusalem
Jerusalem
Jerusalem

Shout, shout, with a shout
Shout, with a shout.

Too easy to explain
What you’ll never talk about
Too easy to explain
But you’ll never see the light behind an open door

Some days already all over for me…
Some days already all over for me

Too easy to refrain
What you’ll never talk about
Too easy to refrain
But you’ll never see the light behind an open door

See the light behind an open door

Some days already all over for me
Some days already all over for me

On these nights we shine
Love ain’t all the time we learn
I’d never want it so

Too easy to explain
But you’ll never…

Some days already all over for me

Well, she's show, showing it off then
The glitter in her lovely eyes
Show, show, showing it off then
And all the people shake their money in time

She sells hearts
She sells meat
Oh, dad, she's driving me mad
Come see, ay-ay

We shake, shake, shake to the trumpet
And through the slippery city we ride
Skyline swine on the circuit
Where all the people shake their money in time

She sells hearts
She sells meat
Oh, dad, she's driving me mad
Come see, ay-ay

She sells hearts

Oh, dad, she's driving me mad

London Grammar - Rooting For You

Let winter break
Let it burn 'til I see you again
I will be here with you
Just like I told you I would
I'd love to always love you
But I'm scared of loneliness
When I'm, when I'm alone with you

I know it's hard
Only you and I
Is it all for me?
Because I know it's all for you
And I guess, I guess
It is only, you are the only thing I've ever truly known
So, I hesitate, if I can act the same for you
And my darlin', I'll be rooting for you
And my darlin', I'll be rooting for you

And where did she go?
Truth left us long ago
And I need her tonight because I'm scared of loneliness with you, baby
And I should let it go
But all that is left is my perspective, broken and so left behind again

I know it's hard
Only you and I
Is it all for me?
Because I know it's all for you
And I guess, I guess
It is only, you are the only thing I've ever truly known
So, I hesitate, if I can act the same for you
And my darlin', I'll be rooting for you
And my darlin', I'll be rooting for you

The National - Tour Manager

Alice, do what you can to get me out of this plan tonight
Maybe you can say I wanted to make it but I won't get back in time
It’s beautiful how you can find a good excuse for anything
None of them are cheap but how long can you keep on covering

Play it like it's nothin’, Alice, nothin’
Play it like it's nothin’, Alice, nothin’

I don't wanna talk about it
Don't like the way it sounds
Wanna keep it kinda quiet
Gonna try to keep it down

I know you know what I mean
You've seen me here before
Say the bubble left without me
And don't say anymore

Let me know when you're free, I gotta tell you something I believe in
It came to me while I was waking up from a something I was dreaming
It’s beautiful how we can find a good excuse for anything
And none of them are ever cheap but how long can we keep on covering

Play it like it's nothin’, Alice, nothin’
Play it like it's nothin’, Alice, nothin’
I don't wanna talk about it
Don't like the way it sounds
Wanna keep it kinda quiet
Gonna try to keep it down

I know you know what I mean
You've seen me here before
Say the bubble left without me
And don't say anymore

Play it like it's nothin’, Alice, nothin’
Play it like it's nothin’, Alice, nothin’

Cat Power - Peace And Love

Peace and love is a famous generation
I'm a lover but I'm in it to win
Peace and love is a famous generation
I'm a lover but I'm in it to win

Everybody got shit to pay
Can’t go lala with fafa hu-rah-rah
Gotta go dealing with DaDa for nada
It ain’t appropriate that I’m stoked that I get
A hundred-thousand hits on the internet
But that don't mean a shit
Even if you're legitimate
I want to feel honey now, like I got money now
But that don't mean a shit
Even if you're legitimate

I used to have scrounge money, on the ground money
Choosing Black Flag was choosing a race
They had a name for us, it was despicable
So disrespectable, we're like the dirty chemical
We were so attracted to mappable
People just wanted us to blend in and fade
Oh, you’re a horror now, a visual foul
When I was a teen, I had incredible dreams
99% y'all, it's in the wall y'all
Constitution's fine you're choosing a school
So our kids know who’s spinnin’ the globe

Peace and love is a famous generation
I'm a lover but I'm in it to win
Peace and love is a famous generation
I'm a lover but I'm in it to win
Peace and love is a famous generation
I may be a lover, but I'm in it to win
Peace and love is a famous generation
I'm a lover but I'm in it to win

Peter Murphy - Final Solution

The girls won't touch me
'Cause I've got a misdirection
Living at night isn't helping my complexion
The signs all saying it's a social infection
A little bit of fun's never been an insurrection

Mama threw me out till I get some pants that fit
She just won't approve of my strange kind of wit
I get so excited, always gotta lose
Man that send me off
Let them take the cure

Don't need a cure
Need a final solution

Buy me a ticket to a sonic reduction
Guitars gonna sound like a nuclear destruction
Seems I'm a victim of natural selection
Meet me on the other side, another direction

Don't need a cure
Need a final solution

Björk - Cosmogony

Heaven
Heaven’s bodies
Whirl around me
Make me wonder

And they say, back then, our universe
Was an empty sea, until a silver fox
And her cunning mate, began to sing
A song that became the world we know

Heaven
Heaven’s bodies
Whirl around me
Make me wonder

And they say, back then, our universe
Was a cold black egg, until, the god inside
Burst out and from, its shattered shell
He made what became the world we know

Heaven
Heaven’s bodies
Whirl around me
Make me wonder

And they say, back then, our universe
Was an endless land, until, our ancestors
Woke up and before they went back to sleep
They carved it up into the world we know

Heaven
Heaven’s bodies
Whirl around me
Make me wonder

And they say, back then, our universe
Wasn’t even there until a sudden bang
And then there was light
Was sound
Was matter
and it all became the world we know

Heaven
Heaven’s bodies
Whirl around me
And dance eternal

Pearl Jam - Hold On [Acoustic demo]

I was drawn...
Riding atop a black horse.
Whatever prize there was,...
I could only observe...
Where the trouble starts.
Where does it end?
How can I be cured?
How, before it ends?

I know... life would be different if I... held on. Held on.
I know... I could be something if I... held on.

Gave her life away,...
Put it in my pocket when it shoulda been framed.
Oh, I lost its shine.
Gotta get this outta my head,...
Out of my bed!
How could it end,...
End like this?
How could it end?

I know... life would be different had I... held on. Held on.
I know... I could be something had I... held on. Held on.
I know... I could be something if I... held on! Held on.
I know... life would be different if I... held on! Held on!

Held on. Held on. If I...
Held on. Held on. If I...
Held on. Held on. If I...
Held on. Held on.

Paradise Lost - Christendom [Icon 30 version]

Innocence, beneath this sorry veil I see you have
Plentitude, the sweetness of a new born child
It's lost deserted reverence

For my life and the stars creation
For my life it's the same rejection
Lost in life, I'll blame it all on you

Loss of hope, failing situation
Readapt, death is life's temptation
Dying slow, I'll blame it all on you

They betray, uphold the law, accuse the future

Resurrect, the harsh tones of our self contempt recall
Fail to breathe, in sight no normal state of mind
In time the hour will fail to chime

For my life and the stars creation
For my life it's the same rejection
Lost in life, I'll blame it all on you

Loss of hope, failing situation
Readapt, death is life's temptation
Dying slow, I'll blame it all on you

They betray, uphold the law, accuse the future

St. Vincent - Actor Out Of Work

You're a supplement, you're a salve
You're a bandage, pull it off
I can quit you cut it out
You're a patient, I am lung

You're a cast signed broken arm
You're an actor out of work
You're a liar and that's the truth
You're an extra, lost in the scene

You're a boxer in the ring
With brass knuckles underneath
You're the curses through my teeth
You're the laughter, you're the obscene

You're a supplement, you're a salve
You're a bandage, pull it off
I think I love you, I think I'm mad

You're a cast signed broken arm
You're an actor out of work
I think I love you, I think I'm mad

You're a boxer in the ring
With brass knuckles underneath
I think I love you, I think I'm mad

U2 - One [Songs of Surrender version]

Is it getting better, or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you, now you got someone to blame?
You say one love, one life, when it's one need in the night.
One love, we get to share it
Leaves you baby if you don't care for it.

Did I disappoint you or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love and you want me to go without.
Well, it's too late tonight to drag the past out into the light.
We're one, but we're not the same.
We get to carry each other, carry each other... one

Have you come here for forgiveness,
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus to the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much, more than a lot
You gave me nothing, now it's all I got.
We're one, but we're not the same.
Well, we hurt each other, then we do it again.

You say love is a temple, love a higher law
Love is a temple, love the higher law.
You ask me to enter, but then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on to what you got, when all you got is hurt.

One love, one blood, one life, you got to do what you should.
One life with each other: sisters and brothers.

A Perfect Circle - The Nurse Who Loved Me

Say hello to the rug's topography
It holds quite a lot of interest with your face down on it
Say hello to the shrinking in your head
You can't see it but you know it's there, so don't neglect it

I'm taking her home with me, all dressed in white
She's got everything I need, pharmacy keys
She's falling hard for me, I can see it in her eyes
She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys

Say hello to all the apples on the ground
They were once in your eyes, but you sneezed them out while sleeping
Say hello to everything you've left behind
It's even more a part of your life now that you can't touch it

I'm taking her home with me, all dressed in white
She's got everything I need, some pills in a little cup
She's falling hard for me, I can see it in her eyes
She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys

She's got everything I need, pharmacy keys
She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys

Metallica - Halo On Fire

Obey
Obey
Come won't you stay
Sincere
Sincere
All ends in tears
Endure
Endure
Thoughts most impure
Concede
Concede
But both shall we bleed

Oh, Halo on fire
The midnight knows it well
Fast, is desire
Creates another hell
I fear to turn on the light
For the darkness won't go away
Fast, is desire
Turn out the light
Halo on fire

Allure
Allure
Sweetness obscure
Abide
Abide
Secrets inside
Deprive
Deprive
To feel so alive
Obey
Obey
Just don't turn away

Oh, Halo on fire
The midnight knows it well
Fast, is desire
Creates another hell
I fear to turn on the light
For the darkness won't go away
Fast, is desire
Turn out the light
Halo on fire

Prayers cannot get through
Return to sender
Unto which of you
Shall I surrender
Twisting in disguise
Dark resurrection
Lighting up the skies
Wicked perfection

Too dark to sleep
Can't slip away
Open or close
My eyes betray
Beyond the black
Come won't you stay

Hello darkness
Say goodbye
Hello darkness
Say goodbye
Hello darkness
Say goodbye

Lamb - Armageddon Waits

Sweat on skin
A will too thin
Hell at heaven's door
Trembling an' ain't no lie
Worlds end within your eyes
Love's a holy war

Tongue-tied mouth
Reckless doubt
Every inch you know
Killing me in each breath
Song of the sweetest death
Still the fires grow

All for just one taste
Armageddon waits

Lost in this
Head-trip kiss
Burn us to the ground
Gone in the sweetest rush
Fear in the loudest hush
Murmuring the sound

All for just one taste
Armageddon waits

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Foi Na Cruz

Foi na cruz, foi na cruz
Que um dia
Meus pecados castigados em Jesus
Foi na cruz
Que um dia
Foi na cruz

Love comes a-knocking
Comes a-knocking upon our door
But you, you and me, love
We don’t live there any more

Foi na cruz, foi na cruz
Que um dia
Meus pecados castigados em Jesus
Foi na cruz
Que um dia
Foi na cruz

A little sleep, a little slumber
A little folding of the hands to sleep
A little love, a little hate, babe
A little trickery and deceit

Foi na cruz, foi na cruz
Que um dia
Meus pecados castigados em Jesus
Foi na cruz
Que um dia
Foi na cruz

Dream on ‘till you can dream no more
For all our grand plans, babe
Will be dreams forever more

Foi na cruz, foi na cruz
Que um dia
Meus pecados castigados em Jesus
Foi na cruz
Que um dia
Foi na cruz

The Mission - Heaven Knows

Good lord above I'm falling in love
I'm falling like a heavy black rain
And I know how it feels to be head over heels
I'm falling like an avalanche again
As beautiful as you are
As elusive as the stars
As raging and as wild as the sea
As eternal as the moon
As mysterious as the womb
You mean everything to me.

And heaven knows!
I'm so wrapped up in you
So tangled up in everything you do
And heaven knows!
It always seem to be
More like a curse than a blessing...
a blessing for me.

Well I have to profess I'm so obsessed
And it's taking over everything I do
And forever more like waves upon the shore
I'm drowning at the very thought of you
As black as the blues
As tender as a bruise
You give me everything I ask you for
As delicious as the pain that comes slowly and again
I take everything you give and still want more.

And heaven knows!
I'm so wrapped up in you
So tangled up in everything you do
And heaven knows!
It always seem to be
More like a curse than a blessing...
a blessing for me.

As delicate as the wings
Of the butterfly summer brings
As sweet as the honey of the bee
As miserable as regret
A betrayal I can't forget
You are everything to me.

And heaven knows!
I'm so wrapped up in you
So tangled up in everything you do
And heaven knows!
It always seem to be
More like a curse than a blessing...
a blessing for me.

Morrissey - We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful

We hate it when our friends become successful
We hate it when our friends become successful

Oh, look at those clothes
Now look at that face, it's so old
And such a video
Well, it's really laughable

We hate it when our friends become successful
And if they're Northern, that makes it even worse
And if we can destroy them
You bet your life we will
Destroy them
If we can hurt them
Well, we may as well...
It's really laughable

You see, it should've been me
It could've been me
Everybody knows
Everybody said so
They say:
"Ah, you have loads of songs
So many songs
More songs than they can stand
Verse
Chorus
Middle-eight
Break, fade"
Just listen...

Nirvana - Jesus Doesn't Want Me For A Sunbeam [Rehearsal Demo]

Jesus, don't want me for a sunbeam
Sunbeams are never made like me

Don't expect me to cry
For all the reasons you had to die
Don't ever ask your love of me

Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to die for thee

Jesus, don't want me for a sunbeam
Sunbeams are never made like me

Don't expect me to cry
For all the reasons you had to die
Don't ever ask your love of me

Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to die for thee

Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to die for thee

Jesus, don't want me for a sunbeam
Sunbeams are never made like me
Don't expect me to cry
For all the reasons you had to die
Don't ever ask your love of me

Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to die
Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to die for thee

U2 - Elevation [Quincey and Sonance Mix]

High, higher than the sun
You shoot me from a gun
I need you to elevate me here,
At the corner of your lips
As the orbit of your hips
Eclipse, you elevate my soul

I've lost all self-control
Been living like a mole
Now going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation

A star lit up like a cigar
Strung out like a guitar
Maybe you could educate my mind
Explain all these controls
I can't sing but I've got soul
The goal is elevation

A mole, living in a hole
Digging up my soul
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation

Love, lift me out of these blues
Won't you tell me something true
I believe in you

A mole, living in a hole
Digging up my soul
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation
Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...

Garbage - Tell Me Where It Hurts

What is my day going to look like? What will my tomorrow bring me?
If I had x-ray eyes, I could see inside, I wouldn't have to predict the future
I wish that you would do with some talking, how else am I to know what you're thinking?
If only people would say what it really was, what it really was, what it really was that they wanted

Tell me where it hurts, to hell with everybody else
All I care about is you and that's the truth
They don't love me, I can tell
But you do, so they can go to hell

Did they ever give you a reason, to believe in something different
If you're looking for love, for what it's worth I have plenty of it lying around here somewhere
If you are looking for disappointment you can find it around any corner
In the middle of the night I hold on to you tight so both of us can feel protected

Tell me where it hurts, to hell with everybody else
All I care about is you and that's the truth
They don't love me, I can tell
But you do, so they can go to hell

I've been loved but I didn't know how to feel it
And I've been adored but I don't know if I ever believed it
I've been loved my whole life but I didn't know how to take it, until you

So tell me where it hurts, to hell with everybody else
All I care about is you and that's the truth
They don't like me, yeah I can tell
But you do, so they can go to hell
But you do, so they can go to hell

Tell me where it hurts
Tell me where it hurts
Tell me where it hurts now
Tell me where it hurts
Tell me where it hurts
Tell me where it hurts, you now

Ah-ha-yeah-hey

Riddle me this, my brother, can you handle it?
Your style to my style, you can't hold a candle to it
Equinox symmetry and the balance is right
Smokin' and drinkin' on a Tuesday night
It's not how you play the game, it's how you win it
I cheat and steal and sin, and I'm a cynic
For those about to rock, we salute you
The dirty thoughts for dirty minds we contribute to
I once was lost, but now I'm found
The music washes over, and you're one with the sound
Well, who shall inherit the earth? The meek shall
And, yo, I think I'm starting to peak now, Al
And then the man upstairs, well, I hope that he cares
If I had a penny for my thoughts, I'd be a millionaire
We're just three MCs, and we're on the go

Only twenty-four hours in a day
Only twelve notes, well, a man can play
Music for all, but not just one people
And now we're gonna bust with the Putney Swope sequel
More Adidas sneakers than a plumber's got pliers
Got more suits than Jacoby & Meyers (Wow)
If not for my vices, and my bugged-out desires
My year would be good just like Goodyear's tires
'Cause I'm out picking pockets at the Atlantic Antic
And nobody wants to hear you 'cause your rhymes are damn frantic
I mix business and pleasure way too much
You know, wine and women and song and such
I don't get blue, I got a mean red streak
You don't pay the band, your friends, yo, that's weak
Get even like Steven (Even) like pulling a Rambo
Well, Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego! (You know)

Steal from the rich, and I'm out robbing banks
Givin' to the poor, and I always give thanks
Because I've got more stories than J.D.'s got Salinger
I hold the title, and you are the challenger
I've got money like Charles Dickens
I've got the girlies in the Coupe like the Colonel's got the chickens
And I'm always going out dapper like Harry S. Truman
I'm madder than Mad's Alfred E. Newman

Well, my noggin is hoggin' all kinds of thoughts
And Adam Yoggin is Yauch, and he's rockin' of course, wow
Smoke the holy chalice, got my own religion
Rally 'round the stage and check the funky dope musicians
Like Jerry Lee Swaggart or Jerry Lee Falwell
You love Mario Andretti 'cause he always drives his car well
Vicious circle of reality since the day you were born
And we love the hot butter (Say what?) The popcorn
Sippin' on wine and mackin'
Rockin' on the stage with all the hands clappin', yeah
Ride the wave of fate, it don't ride me, Homes
(Being very proud of bein' MCs)
And then the man upstairs, well, I hope that he cares
If I had a penny for my thoughts, I'd be a millionaire
Amps and crossovers under my rear hood
Because the bass is bumping from the back of my Fleetwood
They tell us what to do? Hell no!
Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego!

Paradise Lost - It's Too Late

Feared and loathed besides
It’s such a tragedy
I’ve seen all others try
It ends in misery

Could you stand back and take this all in
Before it’s too late

Fragrant your remarks
You offered sympathy
Read between the lines
The dream is honesty

Could you stand back and take this all in
Before it’s too late, now
Could you stand back and set this soul free
Before it’s too late

Dealt the losing hand
No need for jealousy
As our worlds collapse
Who will the saviours be?

Could you stand back and take this all in
Before it’s too late, now
Could you stand back and set this soul free
Before it’s too late

Florence And The Machine - Between Two Lungs

Between two lungs it was released
The breath that carried me
The sigh that blew me forward

'Cause it was trapped
Trapped between two lungs
It was trapped between two lungs
It was trapped between two lungs

And my running feet could fly
Each breath screaming
"We are all too young to die"

Between two lungs it was released
The breath that passed from you to me
That flew between us as we slept
That slipped from your mouth into mine
It crept between two lungs, it was released
The breath that passed from you to me
That flew between us as we slept
That slipped from your mouth into mine, it crept

'Cause it was trapped
Trapped between two lungs
It was trapped between two lungs

Gone are the days of begging, the days of theft
No more gasping for a breath
The air has filled me head-to-toe
And I can see the ground far below
I have this breath and I hold it tight
And I keep it in my chest with all my might
I pray to God this breath will last
As it pushes past my lips as I gasp, gasp

The Doors - Rock Is Dead

Hi, you lady, alright, babe, gonna love ya

When I was just a little boy, about the age of five
I went to sleep, I heard my mama and papa talking
She said, "We got to stop that boy, he's gettin' too far out
He's going wild, we gotta stop that child"

And I lay there listening, feeling bad
You know, people, I was feeling bad
Mama didn't like the way I did my thing
The old lady, she didn't get with that thing

But my daddy was a sailor, get his head around
And he said, "Boy, you got to do it, son, get yourself intact
You gotta love, love, love, love, love, my baby tonight

I got a few things on my chest, I got to get 'em off
Now listen, listen, listen, listen, listen
Now I don't want to hear no talk about no revolution
And I swear to God I don't want to hear

No talk about no constitution
And in my frame of mind I am in no mood for
No talk about no cremation
The only thing I'm interested in
I wanna have a good time

I don't wanna hear no talk about no riots
No demonstrations, no cacitritions, no impablermations
There's only one thing I want to see
That's some dancing, we're gonna have some fun
We're gonna have a good time, let's roll

O boogie, all night long, yeah

Have you heard the word?

Rock is dead
Rock is dead

Now I didn't want to be the one to lay it on ya sweetheart

Transcendental, irathamadental

Naked woman, out of doors

Now when I got home, I heard my daddy say
"You want a little piece? Do you want a little peace?
Do you want a little soul? Do you want a little soul?"

I could not help myself, I could not help myself
I could not help, help, help
I'm dying, I'm dying, I'm dying
I'm die, die, digadigadoohdah, whoa

It's over, it's over
Have mercy, have mercy
Have mercy on your poor son

We had some good times
We had a few good times
But those good little times, you know where they are?
They're absolutely, positively under the ground

And as long as I got breath, the death of rock
Is the death of me and rock is dead
Well, we're dead, alright, yeah
Rock is dead

Depeche Mode - Should Be Higher

I dream of a day when I dare to believe you're the answer
When the shame and the guilt are removed and the truth appears
Oh the touch of your hand, I lose who I am if I want to
I try to resist but succumb to the bliss of your kiss

You should be higher
I'll take you higher
Don't be afraid
You'll just have to pray

Your lies are more attractive than the truth
Love is all I want
Your lies are written down there in your book
Love is all I want

Your arms are infected
They're holding the truth
Oh stop all your crying
This one you'll lose

You should be higher
I'll take you higher
Don't be afraid
You'll just have to pray

Your lies are more attractive than the truth
Love is all I want
Your lies are written down there in your book
Love is all I want

You should be higher
You should be higher

This Mortal Coil - Not Me

It may be as you say, I'll admit
But you don't sound convinced
Between the surface you and the surface me
You didn't touch me
It may be as well that
I didn't see the point
You didn't touch me
I suppose it's just hollow
No idea, no spark
But I thought that in order to survive you need to touch me
All of the me's

Dead Can Dance - Ullyses

John Francis Dooley
Wipe the sleep from your eyes
And embrace the light
You have slept now
For a thousand years
Beneath starless nights
And now it's time for you
To renounce the old ways
And see a new dawn rise

In former days
Masks were raised
When the god came down
From off of the mountain
And the sacrifice was made
For he knew the day of wrath
Was fast approaching
Just like yesterday before the war

John Francis Dooley
The scapegoat has run
All our sins are disowned
And now it's time for you
To take off your mask
And cross the Rubicon

If you and I were one
Within the eyes of our designs
It would still not change
The fact of our leaving
For tonight we must leave
With the first gentle breeze
For the Isles Of Ken
We are assailing

Just like Ullyses
On an open sea
On an odyssey
Of self discovery

U2 - Red Flag Day

I am made of all that I’m afraid of
Most afraid of losing you
Hells the season
You’re the reason that I even dreamt of getting through

I can feel your body shakin’
I will meet you where the waves are breakin’
Baby it’s a red flag day
but baby let’s get in the water
Taken out by a wave
Where we’ve never been before
Baby it’s a red flag day
But baby let’s go a bit further
Paradise is a place
You can’t see when it’s yours

(Red flag day)
(Red flag day)

Sun comes stealin’
Oceanic feelin’
Sky will soon be clear
Today we can’t afford to be afraid of what we fear

I can feel your body shakin’
I will meet you where the waves are breakin’
Baby it’s a red flag day
But baby let’s get in the water
Taken out by a wave
Where we’ve never been before
Baby it’s a red flag day
But baby let’s go a bit further
Paradise is a place
You can’t see when it’s yours

(Red flag day)
Baby it’s a red flag day
(Red flag day)

Not even news today
So many lost in the sea last night
The one word that the sea can’t say
Is no, no, no, no….
Baby it’s a red flag day
(Red flag day, red flag day)
Baby it’s a red flag day
(Red flag day, red flag day)
Ahh…
(Red flag day, red flag day)
Ahh…
(Red flag day, red flag day)
Baby let’s get in the water

Depeche Mode - The Dead Of Night

We're the horniest boys
With the corniest ploys
Who take the easiest girls
To our sleaziest worlds

With our lecherous plans
In our treacherous hands
You'd be wasting your time
Saying no, it's a crime

All that we live for you'll regret
All you remember we'll forget

We are the dead of night
We're in the zombie room
We're twilight's parasites
With self-inflicted wounds

We are the dead of night
We're in the zombie room
Heavenly oversights
Eating from silver spoons

With our decadent minds
And our innocent lines
You'll be playing our games
With your bodies in flames

When delirious fun
Has seriously begun
You'll be down on your knees
You'll be begging us please

All we're demanding you'll supply
All we're accused of we'll deny

We are the dead of night
We're in the zombie room
We're twilight's parasites
With self-inflicted wounds

We are the dead of night
We're in the zombie room
Heavenly oversights
Eating from silver spoons

The Cramps - Goo Goo Muck

When the sun goes down, and the moon comes up
I turn into a teenage goo goo muck
Yeah, I cruise through the city and I roam the street
Looking for something that is nice to eat

You better duck
When I show up...
The goo goo muck.

I'm the night headhunter looking for some head
With a way out body underneath that head
Well I'll get you baby with a little luck
'Cuz I'm teenage tiger and a goo goo muck

You better duck
When I show up...
The goo goo muck

Yeah, the city is a jungle and I'm a beast
I'm a teenage tiger looking for a feast
I want the most but I'll take the least
'Cuz I'm a goo goo muck tiger and a teenage beast, yeah...
You'd better duck, you motherfuck!

...The goo goo muck.

The Sisters Of Mercy - Floorshow

The bodies on the naked on the low damp ground
In the violet hour to the violent sound
And the darkness the blinding the eyes that shine
And the voices singing the line on line
This is the floorshow the clapping hands
Animal flow from the animal glands
In the violet hour to the violent sound
Going round and around and around and around and ...

I feel the bite I feel the beat I see the dancing feet
I feel the light I feel the heat I see the new elite
I see the final floorshow I see the western dream
I see the faces glow and I see the bodies steam

See them shimmy see them go
See their painted faces glow
Slow slow quick quick slow
See those pagans go go go go go

This is the floorshow the last ideal
It's populist got mass appeal
The old religion redefined
For the facile futile totally blind

Mundane by day inane at night
Pagan playing in the flashing light
In the violet hour to the violent sound
Going round and around and around and around and ...
The bodies on the naked on the low damp ground
In the violet hour to the violent sound
And the darkness the blinding the eyes that shine
And the voices singing line on line

See them shimmy see them go
See their painted faces glow
Slow slow quick quick slow
See those pagans go go go go go

The Cranberries - Stars

The stars are bright tonight
And I am walking nowhere
I guess I will be alright
Desire gets you nowhere

And you are always right
And my, you are so perfect

Take you as you are
I'll have you as you are
I'll take you as you are

I love you just the way you are
I'll have you just the way you are
I'll take you just the way you are
Does anyone love the way they are?

The stars are bright tonight
A distance is between us
And I will be okay
The worst I've ever seen us

Still I have my weaknesses
Still I have my strengths
And still I have my ugliness
But I

I love you just the way you are
I'll have you just the way you are
I'll take you just the way you are
Does anyone love the way they are?

I love you just the way you are
I'll have you just the way you are
I'll take you just the way you are
Does anyone love the way they are?

Star, star

Deftones - Prayers/Triangles

There's a new strange
Godless demon awake, inside me
There's a force divine
Terrorizing the angels I keep
While we dream

Prayers! (Prayers!)
Lay on the line (Lay on the line)
You will never be free
You will never be free
(Free, free, free)

I'm a true slave
To the fire and the air around you
While this curse divine
It's slowly rotting away, inside me
While we dream

Prayers! (Prayers!)
Lay on the line (Lay on the line)
You will never be free
You will never be free
(Free, free, free)
Triangles! (Triangles!)
Placed in your mind (Placed in your mind)
You will never be free
You will never be free

I'd be aware
I'd be aware
Be aware
Be aware

I will never walk this street again
The only time I feel I'm not alone
I pull my heart out, I wave it in the air

Prayers! (Prayers!)
Laid on the line (Lay on the line)
You will never be free
You will never be free
Triangles! (Triangles!)
Placed in your mind (Placed in your mind)
You will never be free
You will never be free

Prayers! (Prayers!)
Triangles! (Triangles!)
Prayers!
You will never be free
You will never be free

I will never walk this street again
The only time I feel I'm not alone
I pull my heart out, I wave it in the air
I pull my heart out, beware

Mogwai - Chocky

Pearl Jam - Blood

Spin me round, roll me over, fuckin' circus
Stab it down, one-way needle, pulled so slowly

Drains and spills, soaks the pages, fills their sponges

It's my blood
It's my blood

Paint Ed big...turn Ed into...one of his enemies...

It's my blood
It's my blood
It's my blood

Stab it down, fill the pages, suck my fuckin' life out, man

Maker of my enemies...

Take...my...

A Perfect Circle - Weak And Powerless

Tilling my own grave to keep me level
Jam another dragon down the hole
Digging to the rhythm and the echo of a solitary siren
One that pushes me along and leaves me so

Desperate and ravenous
So weak and powerless over you

Someone feed the monkey while I dig in search of China
White as Dracula as I approach the bottom

Desperate and ravenous
So weak and powerless over you

Little angel go away
Come again some other day
The devil has my ear today
I'll never hear a word you say
He promised I would find a little solace
And some peace of mind
Whatever just as long as I don't feel so

Desperate and ravenous
So weak and powerless
Desperate and ravenous
So weak and powerless
Over you
Over you

The Clash - Hateful

Well, I got a friend who's a man
Who's a man? What man?
The man who keeps me from the lovely

He gives me what I need
What you need? What you got?
I need it all so badly

Oh, anything I want he gives it to me
Anything I want he gives it, but not for free
It's hateful
And it's paid for and I'm so grateful to be nowhere

This year I've lost some friends
Some friends? What friends?
I dunno, I ain't even noticed

You see, I gotta go out again
Again? My friend
I gotta see that mainman

Oh, anything I want he gives it to me
Anything I want he gives it, but not for free
It's hateful
And it's paid for and I'm so grateful to be nowhere

Oh, anything I want he gives it to me
Anything I want he gives it, but not for free
It's hateful
And it's paid for and I'm so grateful to be nowhere

I killed all my nerves
My nerves? What swerves?
And I can't drive so steady
And already

I've lost my memory
My mind? Behind!
I can't see so clearly

Oh, anything I want he gives it to me
Anything I want he gives it, but not for free
It's hateful
And it's paid for and I'm so grateful to be nowhere

Manowar - Wheels Of Fire

Since the dawn of time
I've rolled across the earth
Spinning in the dust
Long before your birth
Eatin' tar and gasoline
Every light I see is green
Open pipes, my machine's triple plate chrome

Spirit of the wheel

Wheels of fire burn the night
Ride across the sky
Wheels of fire burning bright
We live to ride

Motors running
Now you're gonna learn
Waiting on the line
Make your tires burn
Fast, faster, faster, faster
Speeding always kills
Nothing else takes us to get these thrills

Spirit of the wheel

Wheels of fire burn the night
Ride across the sky
Wheels of fire burning bright
We live to ride

Blood and thunder on the road
My heart is pounding
My blood is nitroglycerine
I'm fire
Burning, burning, burning, burning
Ready to explode
Don't want nothing left of me to scrape off the road

Spirit of the wheel

Wheels of fire burn the night
Ride across the sky
Wheels of fire burning bright
We live to ride

Clouds of smike
Tires screaming
Fire in my hair
Blown into
A thousand pieces
Scattered everywhere
Fast, burn, burning, faster
Wanna take a ride
Spirit of the wheel
Wheels of fire ride

Spirit of the wheel

Wheels of fire burn the night
Ride across the sky
Wheels of fire burning bright
We live to ride

Placebo - B3 [Radio Edit]

I refuse to remain in regrets
To pander like a slave to your wants
No contrition from me will you get
No submission to dilettantes (NO)

I've existed too long in secrets
I have lived like a man confined
Epicene and elaborate
Fatalistic and resigned (NO)

Passionflower
Catherine wheel
Higher power
Help me start to heal

Now I vein in the scene of sunsets
And the rain washes clean my mind
Every one of my needs will be met
Every planet will be aligned

Passionflower
Catherine wheel
Higher power
Help me start to heal

Over power all my fear
From now to hour
Guide me through the realm

I refuse to remain in regret
I refuse to be left behind (NO)

Passionflower
Catherine wheel
Higher power
Help me start to heal

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart

Something’s gotten hold of my heart
Keeping my soul and my senses apart
Something’s gotten into my life
Cutting its way through my dreams like a knife
Turning me up and turning me down
Making me smile and making me frown

In a world that was small
I once lived in a time there was peace with no trouble at all
But then you came my way
And a feeling unknown shook my heart, made me want you to stay
All of my nights and all of my days

I gotta tell you now
Something’s gotten hold of my hand
Dragging my soul to a beautiful land
Something has invaded my nights
Painting my sleep with a colour so bright
Changing the grey and changing the blue
Scarlet for me and scarlet for you

I’ve got to know if this is the real thing
I’ve got to know what’s making my heart sing
You smile and I am lost for a lifetime
Each minute spent with you is the right time
Every hour, every day
You touch me and my mind goes astray

I gotta tell you now
Something’s gotten hold of my hand
Dragging my soul to a beautiful land
Something has invaded my nights
Painting my sleep with a colour so bright
Changing the grey and changing the blue
Scarlet for me and scarlet for you

(originally recorded by David and Jonathan)

U2 - Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of [Acoustic Version]

I'm not afraid of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me that I haven't already heard
I'm just trying to find a decent melody
A song that I can sing in my own company

I never thought you were a fool
But darling, look at you
You gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere, baby

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

I will not forsake, the colours that you bring
But the nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing
I am still enchanted by the light you brought to me
I still listen through your ears, and through your eyes I can see

And you are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it's tough, and you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now... my oh my

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
Oh love look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it

I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm till you discover how deep...
I wasn't jumping... for me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better now
You're stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if our way should falter
Along the stony pass

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along the stony pass
It's just a moment
This time will pass

Sonic Youth - (She's in A) Bad Mood

She's in a bad mood
But i won't fall for it
I believe all her lies
But i can't fall for it

She's in a bad mood
But i won't fall for it
I believe all her lies
But i can't fall for it

God Is An Astronaut - Dust And Echoes

...

Dead Can Dance - Spirit

I thought I'd found a reason to live
Just like before when I was a child
Only to find dreams made of sand
Would just fall apart and slip through my hands

But the spirit of life keeps us strong
And the spirit of life is the will to carry on

Adversity
What have I done to you
To cause this reclusive silence
That has come between me and you?

And the spirit of life remains in light
And the spirit of life remains inside, inside

I never thought it would be quite like this
Living outside of mutual bliss
But as long as the veins in our arm still stand up
The spirit of life will keep living on

London Grammar - If You Wait

To treasure gold is fun
Brother, drop your bag at once
From the air to the people
A mass to take you on
From a clock to the past
A future that I own
And to find just one other
Seems to be the goal of everyone
From the search to the hurt
I believed I could take you on
We would drink, we would dance
And you would watch me whenever you want

And can you give me, everything
Everything, everything
'Cause I can't give you anything
And if you wait, if you wait
I will trust in time that we will meet again
If you wait

If letters spell out words, son
You chose to put them in order, didn't you
From the meaning, the moment you tried to take me on
From the air to the room a bed that I own

And can you give me everything,
Everything, everything
'Cause I can't give you anything
And if you wait, if you wait
I will trust in time that we will meet again
If you wait
I will trust in time that we will meet again
