Kaiser Chiefs - Beautiful Girl

If I was in your shoes
They’d probably be too tight
And if I was your record player
I’d probably play too quiet
And if I was your front porch swing
I’d probably swing too high
With a crochet blanket wrapped up around you thinking

Nobody needs a record player
That’s why you buy them second hand
We’ve been around the blocks and all the charity shops
Then I found you there and now I understand

You’re my beautiful girl
You’re my beautiful girl

And If I was an eight ball
I’d give you bad advice
Your lava lamp and yucca plant
I love you more than is right

Nobody needs a record player
But it makes our house a home
Your beauty in the snaps the crackles and the pops
And you’ve spoiled my chance for me to dance alone
Yeah you’ve spoiled my chance for me to dance alone

With my beautiful girl
With my beautiful girl
Yeah you’re my beautiful girl
You’re my beautiful girl

The National feat. Sufjan Stevens - Once Upon A Poolside

Don't make this any harder
Everybody's waiting
Walk-on's almost over
Teenagers on ice

Try to keep my distance
Talking of forgiveness
Once upon a poolside
Underneath the lights

What was the worried thing you said to me?

I'll follow you everywhere
While you work the room
I don't know how you do it
Tangerine perfume

I'm not doing anyone
Any kind of favors
Watching airplanes land
And sink into the pavement

What was the worried thing you said to me?

I can't keep talking, I can't stop shaking
I can't keep track of everything I'm taking
Everything is different. Why do I feel the same?
Am I asking for too much? Can't hear what you're saying

What was the worried thing you said to me?
I thought we could make it through anything

This is the closest we've ever been
And I have no idea what's happening
Is this how this whole thing is gonna end?
This is the closest we've ever been

Don't make this any harder
Everybody's waiting
Walk-on's almost over
Teenagers on ice

Try to keep my distance
Talking of forgiveness
Once upon a poolside
Underneath the lights
What was the worried thing you said to me?

I thought we could make it through anything

Kasabian - Algorithms

We’re not here for a long time
Just here for a good time
This one’s for the weirdos
One day we’ll be hero’s

I’d see you every night if I could
Stuck like glue hanging out
in your neighbourhood

Just watching the days roll by
before

Algorithms taking control
The robots believing they have a soul
They’ll never feel love like this

We’re not here for a long time
Just here for a good time
This one’s for the zeros
One day we’ll be hero’s

I’d see you every night if I could

Try to understand, I got you holding
Back the flood

Do you remember the days before

Algorithms taking control
The robots believing they have a soul

I’ll tell you about it one sunny day
I’ll whisper to you before you go away
You lift me up from solid ground
I promise you, I’ll never let you
I wont let you down, because

Algorithms taking control
The robots believing they have a soul
They’ll never feel love like this

We’re not here for a long time
Just here for a good time

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Easy Money

It’s difficult. It’s very tough.
I said to the man who’d been sleeping rough
To sit within a fragrant breeze
All among the nodding trees
That hang heavy with the stuff

He threw his arms around my neck
He brushed the tear from my cheek
And held my soft white hand
He was an understanding man
He did not even barely hardly speak

Easy money
Rain it down on the wife and the kids
Rain it down on the house where we live
Rain until you got nothing left to give
And rain that ever-loving stuff down on me

All the things for which my heart yearns
Gives joy in diminishing returns
He kissed me on the mouth
His hands they headed south
And my cheek it burned

Money, man, it is a bitch
The poor, they spoil it for the rich
With my face pressed in the clover
I wondered when this would be over
And at home we are all so guilty-sad

Easy money
Pour it down the open drain
Pour it all through my veins
Pour it down, yeah, let it rain
And pour that ever-loving stuff down on me

Now, I’m sitting pretty down on the bank
Life shuffles past at a low interest rate
In the money-coloured meadows
And all the interesting shadows
They leap up, then dissipate

Easy money
Easy money
Easy money
Rain it down on the wife and the kids
Rain it down on the house where we live
Rain it down until you got nothing left to give
And rain that ever-loving stuff down on me

White Lies - What If We're Bad Together

Winter at every door, you make your call to praise of again
The air is rich, but your heart's still poor
As if I needed only to fair

Don't you ever feel yourself? The only time is time you miss
Don't you ever shop for change, or try to find a rhyme that don't exist?

What if we're bad together? What if we're bad together?
What if we're bad together? What if we're bad together?

Frost on your sicken nose, oh how we kick and scream at the end

What if we're bad together? What if we're bad together?
What if we're bad together? What if we're bad together?

No need to write or call, you sent a tanked up truck for the bed
Not since a little boy have I struck a wall so hard with my head

What good is saving change when all the banks are burned to bits?
What good are driving lanes when you're so hellbent on the ditch?

What if we're bad together? What if we're bad together? Ooh
What if we're bad together? What if we're bad together?

(I don't need, I don't need her)
What if we're bad together? (All through my head I see the shape of you)
(I don't need)
What if we're bad together?
(All through the nights, the lies of me and you)
(I don't need, I don't need her)

Metallica - Room of Mirrors

In a mirrored room
All alone I stand
Strip away the phantom fame
Exposing all sides to see
The good and bad in me

In a mirrored room
All alone I stand
Seeing past the flesh and bone
The shame and the fear I hide
Could I show you what’s inside?

Would you
Criticize, scrutinize
Stigmatize my pain?
Would you
Summarize, patronize
Classify insane?

So I stand here
Before you
You might judge
You might just bury me

Or you might set me free

In a mirrored room
Talking to myself
And the voices pushing back
I’ll let them inside my heart
But they’ll tear it all apart

In a mirrored room
Just a simple man
Naked, broken, beat, and scarred
What do I really know?
That fear of letting go

Would you
Criticize, scrutinize
Analyze my pain?
Would you
Summarize, patronize
Classify insane?
So I stand here
Before you
You might judge
You might just bury me
Or you might set me
Or you might set me free
Would you
Criticize, scrutinize
Ostracize my pain?
Would you
Summarize, patronize
Classify insane?

So I stand here
Before you
You might judge
You might just bury me

Or you might set me
Oh, please won’t you set me free

Depeche Mode - Ghosts Again

Wasted feelings
Broken meanings
Time is fleeting
See what it brings
Helloes, goodbyes
A thousand midnights
Lost in sleepless lullabies
Heaven’s dreaming
Thoughtless thoughts, my friends
We know we’ll be ghosts again

Sunday’s shining
Silver linings
Weightless hours
All my flowers
A place to hide
The tears that you cried
Everybody says goodbye
Faith is sleeping
Lovers, in the end
Whisper we’ll be ghosts again

Heaven’s dreaming
Thoughtless thoughts, my friends
We know we’ll be ghosts again
Faith is sleeping
Lovers, in the end
Whisper we’ll be ghosts again

R.E.M. - Chorus And The Ring

hey there now young one wholly, swing along
quote the scriptures, keep them guessing
which pit you crawled from.
just defy it, just deny it, was it fun?
your time has come-
what have you done? what have you done?

that's when the insults start to sting
you can't remember anything
the chorus chime in, the greek chorus,
the machine of god singing

it's the poison that in measures brings
illuminating vision
it's the knowing with a wink that we expect in
southern women
it's the wolf that knows which root to dig
to save itself
it's the octopus that crawled back to the sea

that's when the insults start to sting
you can't remember anything
the chorus chime in, the greek chorus,
the machine of god ring!

hammered, shooting plywood in the backyard
laughing 'cause the racket makes the
blackbirds sing
write the holy terror, suck the marrow from
the bone- singe
your own wings burning books, you got the
chorus and the ring

that's when the insults start to sting
you can't remember anything
the chorus chime in, the greek chorus,
the machine sings
that's when the insults starts to sting
you can't remember anything
the chorus chime in, the greek chorus,
the machine sings

that's when the calibration brittle as a stick
gets you the gold ring
and the tar museum Che Guevera wink,
gold ring
gold ring.

sing.
sing.
sing.
sing.

Green Day - Suzie Chapstick

Will I ever see your face again
Not just photos from an Instagram
Will you say hello from across the street
From a place and time we used to meet

Sometimes everything just grows apart
Broken pieces from a busted heart
Not even the drugs seem to work
Living in the shadows where we lurk

Outside my window before the sun comes up to shine
It’s just another vacant, cold and lonely night

Do you remember the jokes we told
Rumors from a long long time ago
Did we get over our innocence?
Did we take the time to make amends?

Will you dedicate a song to me
Do you want me to just go away
I just want to be your nobody
Is there any chance that I can stay?

Outside my window there is nothing but a sky
It’s just another vacant, cold and lonely night

Outside my window there is nothing but a sky
It’s just another vacant, cold and lonely night

Do you remember the jokes we told
Rumors from a long long time ago
Did we get over our innocence?
Did we take the time to make amends?

St. Vincent - Strange Mercy

Oh, little one, I know you've been tired for a long, long time
And oh little one I ain't been around for a little while
But when you see me, wave

Oh, little one, your Hemingway jawline looks just like his
Our father in exile
For God only knows how many years
But when you see him, wave
Through double-pane
I'll be with you lost boys
Sneaking out where the shivers won't find you

Oh little one I'd tell you good news that I don't believe
If it would help you sleep
Strange mercy

If I ever meet the dirty policeman who roughed you up
No I I don't know what
If I ever meet the dirty policeman who roughed you up

I'll be with you lost boys
Sneaking out where the shivers won't find you

Paradise Lost - Widow [Icon 30 version]

You’re breaking a chain
Lying until you can erase the past
Born with a look of deceit
Praying that all the bitter guilt’s defeated
Born…

Stand on your own, killed from behind
Fools are blind, unwilling to accept, decline
You’ll turn a blind eye

Bought by a sickening man
The weakened gather just as fast as they can
‘Whore’ is what the people roar
From fear of rejection you’ll come back for more
Strong, don’t see that love has ceased
In the end, only death can release

Stand on your own, killed from behind
Fools are blind, you’re on a lonely road...
You’re on a lonely road

Dead Can Dance - Song Of The Nile

...

Deftones - Pompeji

Deep in the bottomless depths of the ocean
Empty bodies, we sink
Open your eyes, you smile and release me
We slip down beneath and

Jesus Christ, you watch us fail
We raise our glasses and drink in hell

Locked in the core of the tower, I'm patient
In no hurry to leave
Life has been lonely, it might be forever
Making hard to believe in

Jesus Christ, we hold you to blame
You gave your life, but we died in vain

And ooh, we drink from the fountain of intent
And ooh, we choke on the water, then repent

In the street, violent behavior
In chaos, where it's warm
Black omens call, our cage is electric
So we signal, we wait for

Jesus Christ, God raised you as
We raised our glasses and drank in hell

Ooh, we sip from the fountain of intent
And ooh, we choke on the water, then repent
Ooh, we drink from the fountain of intent
Ooh, we choke on the water, then repent

Florence And The Machine - Mermaids

I thought that I was hungry for love
Maybe I was just hungry for blood
Sea foam woman on the shore
Your prairie ghost, I'm a cottage whore
All the mermaids have sharp teeth
Razor blades all in your feet

England is only ever grey or green
The girls glitter striding glorious and coatless in the rain
I remember falling through these streets
Somewhat out of place, if not for the drunkenness

It makes my chest hurt to think of it
Not of regret, but of missing that

Cheerful oblivion
Cheerful oblivion

It was not all pain and pavements slick with rain
And shining under lights from shitty clubs and doing shitty drugs
And hugging girls that smelt like Britney Spears and coconuts

And with your mermaid hair and your teeth so sharp
You crawled from the sea to break that sailor's heart
You only get one night upon the shore
So dance like you've never danced before
And the dance floor is filling up with blood
But, oh, Lord, you've never been so in love

Cheerful oblivion
Cheerful oblivion
Cheerful oblivion

And the mermaids, they come once a year
They climb the struts of Brighton Pier
They come to drink, they come to dance
To sacrifice a human heart
And the world is so much wilder than you think
You haven't seen nothing till you seen an English girl drink

Cheerful oblivion
Cheerful oblivion
Cheerful oblivion
Cheerful oblivion
Cheerful oblivion

Pearl Jam - React, Respond

I see you worried & hurried
As if addressing the jury
You are innocent
Til proven innocent
You are hurting
And it’s so magnificent

Don’t let the sky hook
Beat you to submission
Maybe it’s the price of
Price of our admission

Ain’t no fucking roses
To our condition
Turn this anger into
Nuclear fission
Yeah baby, baby

Don’t react, respond
Don’t react, respond
When what you get
Is what you don’t want
Don’t react, respond

Are we at war with each other?
Are you at war with yourself?
We could be fighting together
Instead of fighting ourselves

Start the rebuttal
All part of the game
What makes us different
And what makes us the same

The incandescence
That is your essence
The unexpected embrace
Embrace the unexpected

There’s no book on this life
There’s no use as directed
The best part I know
Was when we were connected

And the light gets brighter
As it grows
The darkness it recedes

It’s better to give
Give than to deceive
Questions dissolve
The more you believe

Don’t react, respond
Don’t react, respond
When what you get
Is what you don’t want
Don’t react, respond.

R.E.M. - Wendell Gee

That's when Wendell Gee takes a tug
Upon the string that held the line of trees
Behind the house he lived in
He was reared to give respect
But somewhere down the line he chose
To whistle as the wind blows
Whistle as the wind blows, with me

He had a dream one night
That the tree had lost its middle
So he built a trunk of chicken wire
To try to hold it up
But the wire, the wire turned to lizard skin
And when he climbed inside
There wasn't even time to say
Goodbye to Wendell Gee
So whistle as the wind blows
Whistle as the wind blows, with me

If the wind were colors
And if the air could speak
Then whistle as the wind blows
Whistle as the wind blows

Smashing Pumpkins - Every Morning

Babes in the dark wings
Faun of the wood
Who wouldn't want to yearn
With given names writ
Upon the trunk of god
Where every rune's in gold
Where if you've traveled here, or far
A secret to discard
Without some change
And oh, I've stood behind those eyes as tired
Astride a soul alone

So face this valley, opine
There's one, one way home that's mine
And right back by your side I'll lead with you

We're so near to feel unwise
A penny'd heart could never expire
So if you know lay fast with me now
A requiem ourselves

There's lines to flee
And ages to reach
In chapters I conceive

Fade along, pale moon
Failed is our tune
A requiem ourselves
Fade along, pale moon
Failed is our tune
A requiem ourselves
A requiem ourselves
A requiem ourselves

In requiem we cry
In requiem we tried
In mortis, I might weep
In chapters I can't read

The Mars Volta - Graveyard Love

There's a little house
on the outskirts of town
Tilted in a vow of dissonance
You better walk behind me
Walk behind me again

How many times have we burnt it all down
plumes of smoke call it graveyard love
Walk behind me
Walk these hallways again

THE GREATEST ILLUSION
IN THE X-RAY WIND
WILL TAKE IN MY RUIN
I KEEP CLEAR OF THE WINDOWS
I CAN'T RETURN, RETURN TO YOU
IT'S JUST THE FEAR
IS THIS JUST THE FEAR
OF NOT KNOWING IF YOU'RE THERE

I could never fathom how to wake you up
crushed by the weight of your crucible
you better walk behind me
Walk behind

and on the day that you wiped it all clean
lost in a whisper did you say
"I'll never walk behind you,
walk behind you again

THE GREATEST ILLUSION
IN THE X-RAY WIND
WILL TAKE IN MY RUIN
I KEEP CLEAR OF THE WINDOWS
I CAN'T RETURN, RETURN TO YOU
IT'S JUST THE FEAR
IS THIS JUST THE FEAR
OF NOT KNOWING THAT YOU'RE THERE

I don't want to remember

James - Rogue

Oh no
Oh no I got old
I need a drink to spill my blackest ink
Still think that I am chasing thirty-one
Beauty privileges wasted on the young
My friends, the leavings have begun
I've paid my dues to Caesar
Pray to be spared from Shiva

I've been a whore, a samurai, a guru
Burnt as a witch, worked for the church, a cockatoo
Think I'd be wise from all these lives
But maths won't help ya, maths won't help ya
I've been a monk, an alien, a Habiru
I've been a punk, a saint, a fool, a Vishnu
I've been killer and now I'm a singer
Having a breakthrough I'm about to go rogue
On a roll
On a roll

I've taken off my clothes
I'm lying here, I'm feeling so exposed
My body won't do tricks and flips with grace
My body won't behave
Try bulking up, I'm losing too much weight
My face, my face, my face is full of fouls
I'm still mesmerized by cleavage
I woun't come to Jesus

Lovers of life burn bright, super nova
If your judging is hard come back when you older
Find you a song and sing from your bones
Dance 'til you drop, forget you're being watched

Dance into your trauma there's a key to each lock
From the belly of a whale, out stepped Jonan
All I know, know nothing is for certain
My curse was a blessing, the cure was the poison

I've been a whore, a samurai, a guru
Burnt as a witch, worked for the church, a cockatoo
Think I'd be wise from all these lives
But maths won't help ya, maths won't help ya
I've been a monk, an alien, a Habiru
I've been a punk, a saint, a fool, a Vishnu
I've been killer and now I am a singer
Having a breakthrough I'm about to go rogue
On a roll
On a roll
On a roll
On a roll
On a roll

Where'd I put that "where'd you gone" song?
Where'd you put that "turn you on" song?
Think I'd be wise from all these lives
Some of us still got work to do
Where'd I put that "where'd you gone" song?
Where'd I put that "turn you on" song?
Think I'd be wise through all these lives
Some of us still got work to do

The Clash - Pressure Drop

It is you, oh yeah
It is you, oh yeah

I said a pressure drop,
Oh pressure, oh yeah
Pressure's gonna drop on you
I said pressure drop
Oh pressure, oh yeah
Pressure's gonna drop on you

I said when it drops
Oh you gonna feel it
Oh that you were doin' it wrong, wrong, wrong
Now when it drops
Oh you gonna feel it
That you were doin' it wrong and how

I said when it drops
You gonna feel it
That you've been doin' it wrong
Now when it drops, drop
You gonna feel it
That you've been doin' wrong

Now when it drops, drop
Feel it
You make the wrong move
Now when it drops, drop
You gonna feel it
That you've been it doin' wrong

I said, pressure drop
Oh pressure, oh yeah
Pressure's gonna drop on you
Pressure drop
Oh pressure, oh yeah
Pressure's gonna drop on you

Now when it drops on your dirty little head
Where you gonna go?
It's you, you, you
When it drop on, oh you're gonna feel it
What you're doing is wrong, wrong, wrong
Pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure...
I said a pressure drop

(originally recorded by The Maytals)

Chelsea Wolfe - Place In The Sun

home, but I was lost
I was lost
home, where we split
a splinter in the skin
home, lantern-lit
only one step ahead

safe with the one
not so toilsome to love
I am safe in this body
safe in this heart
I have made it this far
to live this life

claim what you want
and take your place in the sun
hearing songs in the silence
wings in our lungs
and with the air my guide
let me fly

let me fly, fly, fly

The Vaccines - Sometimes, I Swear

i’m caught in the good fight
i start to feel small
when the gravity hits me
i’ve got nowhere to fall

i’ve got nowhere at all

sometimes, i swear, it feels like i don’t belong anywhere
i swear, sometimes, it feels like i don’t belong anywhere
sometimes, i swear
sometimes i don’t belong anywhere

you cant keep your day job
and you, you can’t find your feet
say your best work’s behind you
still you hate looking weak

more gods than the greeks

Moby feat. Choklate - Sweet Moon

In the light of morning, got away now
By the moonlight, so much sweetness
Feel it hold on, when the race is done
Let it slow down, let it stop

Oh, I don't feel like going home
Oh, I don't feel like going home

In the sweetness of the cold moon
In the dark light, I will see you
In the sweetness of the cold moon
In the darkness, I will see you
I will see you

In the light of morning, where the dawn lies
I can see for real, where the birds cry
I'll return now, when the race is done
I'll slow down

Oh, I don't feel like going home
Oh, I don't feel like going home
Oh, I don't feel like going home
Oh, I don't feel like going home

In the sweetness of the cold moon
In the dark light, I will see you
In the sweetness of the cold moon
In the darkness, I will see you
I will see you

I will see you
I will see you
I will see you
I will see you
I will see you
I will see you
I will see you
I will see you
I will see you
I will see you
I will see you
I will see you
I will see you
I will see you
I will see you
I will see you

Explosions In The Sky - Moving On

...

Queens Of The Stone Age - Negative Space

In an atmosfear I don’t recognize...
I don’t know what’s true, particularly if it’s from you
Oh, betrayal it tears me up inside...
I’m just a fool, who... is... terrified

There’s gotta be someway back to earth
I’m drifting away as the world turns
We’ll never get back to where we were
facing oblivion... there’s no words

I am weightless, yet heaviness defines
Between what home was & yellow moon
My love, I will... not survive
Emotion sickness... well... I wanna die

There’s gotta be someway back to earth
I’m drifting away as the world turns
We’ll never get back to where we were
stare into oblivion, oh it hurts...
Don’t say you love me no more
Thought we was equals
Broken peoples keep score, yeah.
Don’t say you really care like you really do
Who would believe in you now?

Dead Can Dance - Severance

The birds of leaving call to us
Yet here we stand
Endowed with the fear of flight
Over land, the winds of change consume the land
While we remain in the shadow of summers now past
When all the leaves have fallen and turned to dust
will we remain entrenched within our ways
Indifference
The plague that moves throughout this land
Omen signs in the shapes of things to come
Tomorrow's child is the only child
Tomorrow's child is the only child

Kings Of Leon - Rainbow Ball

Got my old friend back
He was gone quite a while
I won't stand for that
Good times
Were had
By all

At the rainbow ball
We took every ride
Never paid no mind
We held
Our breath
We crossed that line

Get some though love
Sweetheart it's just bad luck
Playback rewind
I take my time

On the 4th we ran
With our heads weighed down
Big men were all around
Our bet
Had died
Outside

Only good vibrations at the rainbow ball
Sweet vibration
Only good vibrations

Get some
Tough love
Sweetheart
It's just bad luck
Single cab
Times up
I did it all
For the love
Heartburn
Love tap
Grass stain
On your chinstrap
Dead stiff
Upper lip
Honeybee
On the night shift

There’s only good vibrations
At the rainbow ball
Sweet vibration
Only good vibrations at the rainbow ball
Only good vibrations

Get some
Tough love
Sweetheart
It’s just bad luck
Single cab
Nightshift
Dead stiff
Upper lip
Nerd alert

Gotta oil spill
Heartburn

Depeche Mode - Never Let Me Down Again [7" edit version]

I'm taking a ride
With my best friend
I hope he never lets me down again
He knows where he's taking me
Taking me where I want to be
I'm taking a ride
With my best friend

We're flying high
We're watching the world pass us by
Never want to come down
Never want to put my feet back down
On the ground

I'm taking a ride
With my best friend
I hope he never lets me down again
Promises me I'm safe as houses
As long as I remember who's wearing the trousers
I hope he never lets me down again

Never let me down

See the stars, they're shining bright
Everything's alright tonight

The Mars Volta - Vigil [Acoustic version]

I know the way he makes you hide
Even when the dose is fight or flight
And the obits wait for a perfect name
Clean out all the webs he left behind
And if you want, I could bury him out
By the salt on sea, in an empty grave
The past has a way of coming clean

If I didn’t know any better
I could have sworn you said,
“There will come a day for his reckoning”

It's the want of the weight when it crushed
All the centrifugal ways our lives fall in and out of place

One day you’re going to see
That everybody who claimed that you were loved have left
Because one by one they would disappear
Claiming all your wolves were symptoms of deceit

“Don’t let your tongue slit your throat!”
That’s what they always said
This is one last chance that you’ve got to take

It's the want of the weight when it crushed
All the centrifugal ways our lives fall in and out of place

Underneath all your doubt laid a serpents egg
Hissing his way out
You were told,
Severed tongues can’t fall onto their swords
Because you’re the only voice that calls

It’s the want of the weight when it crushed
All the centrifugal ways our lives fall in and out of place

It’s the want of the weight and the rush of the centrifugal fate we all want to escape

U2 - Peace On Earth [Songs of Surrender version]

Heaven on Earth
We need it now
I'm sick of all of this
Hanging around
Sick of sorrow
Sick of pain
Sick of hearing again and again
That there's gonna be
Peace on Earth

Where I grew up
There weren't many trees
Where there was we'd tear them down
And use them on our enemies
They say that what you mock
Will surely overtake you
And you become a monster
So the monster will not break you

It's already gone too far
Who said that if you go in hard
You won't get hurt

Jesus could you take the time
To throw a drowning man a line
Peace on Earth
Tell the ones who hear no sound
Whose sons are living in the ground
Peace on Earth
No whos or whys
No-one cries like a mother cries
For peace on Earth
She never got to say goodbye
To see the colour in his eyes
Now he's in the dirt
Peace on Earth

They're reading names out over the radio
All the folks the rest of us won't get to know
Sean and Julia, Gareth, Ann and Breda
Their lives are bigger, than any big idea

Jesus can you take the time
To throw a drowning man a line
Peace on Earth
To tell the ones who hear no sound
Whose sons are living in the ground
Peace on Earth

Jesus this song you wrote
The words are sticking in my throat
Peace on Earth
Hear it every Christmas time
But hope and history won't rhyme
So what's it worth?
This peace on Earth

Peace on Earth
Peace on Earth
Peace on Earth

dEUS - Le Blues Polaire

Dans le coin, apres un concert
Gaté d’une vista panoramique de gens
En détente post-hysterique, je me relaxe avec nonchalance etudié
Finissant ma vodka redbul
Le rush du sucre et de l’alcohol coincidant avec ton arrivé inattendue
Jaillit du seul petit coin insoupçonné de cette baraque.
Tu te présentes polyglotes
Et tu murmures des parols de science et de psychologie.
Une histoire d’amour ce developpe comme un polaroid parresseux
De dévoiler ces vrais couleurs

Ca vaut le coup, mais c’est enervant
Il est temps que je montre mes dents
A tous ces incidents indécents
A l’abri des tempêtes

Deuxième fois Bucharest, cette fois ci
Sous des étoiles plus étinc’lantes
Mais aussi, Une deuxieme rencontre qui fait monter
Les enchères entre nous deux
Je rigolles en anticipation d’n sandwich qui n’arrivera jamais
Serait il á l’image d’une methaphore insouciante
Qui le sait

Je sais t’as que 27 ans
Mais c’est toi qui m’a aspiré dans
Ton univers d’etérnelle étudiante
Le vortex de ta planète

Ils y’a des dangers qui s’accrochent a moi
Qui me ratrappent oui comme un coup de traque
Ça m’galvanise ça me met dans un état
Oui, j’ai besoin de ça

Ce n’est q’un rêve
Dans la journée
On voit ce qu’on veux
Tout est accompli
Les désirs emporté par le vent

De haut en bas
Je te carresses
Rien de mieux
Que la paresse
Éxécuté concentré et lentement

On fait l’amour comme deux novices débordants d’experiences oubliées
Je me fache quand tu te balances sur le rebord de fenetre
Tu as faillis t’envoler

J’inspectes ma reflection dans l’écran de television de cette chambre
Style faux louis quatorze

A Paris, les nuages se rassemblent.
Les trois ingrédients d’un Negroni bourdonnent comme des gueppes
Dans ma tete rendue folle de desir
Une dernière impulsion vicieuse se dégage de ton sourire
Ce ne sera que plus tard que je me le rappelasse.

Tu sais très bien
Je le cherches tout le temps
Je trouves souvent
Ça donne et puis ça prend

Ça m’galvanize jusque dans l’au de là
Et puis ça va
Contínuer sans toi

La la la

Ça provoque et ça sent le sang
Le blues polaire en double temps
Du passé, et du moment

Pas besoin de remplacer

Lana Del Rey - Kintsugi

There's a certain point the body can't come back from
In one year, we've learned the turn of the mouth
The depth that the chest cavity takes
Chucky was there for three out of three
I was there for the third 'cause I couldn't be
There for the one who was closest to me
But I can't say I'd run when things get hard
It's just that I don't trust myself with my heart
But I've had to let it break a little more
'Cause they say that's what it's for

That's how the light shines in
That's how the light shines in
That's how the light gets in

So everyone was there, they were standing and laughing
And I'm on the side with my tears streaming down
There's something about the clutch of the wrist
He thought mine was his to carve into his mouth
We've only got hours
And I just can't stop crying 'cause all of the ways
When you see someone dying
You see all your days flash in front of you
And you think about who would be with you
And then there's Donoghue

Daddy, I miss them
I'm in the mountains
I'm probably running away from the feelings I get
When I think of all the things about them
Daddy, I miss them
I'm at the Roadrunner Café
I'm probably running away from the thoughts in the day
I had things to do with them, but they say

That's how the light gets in
That's how the light gets in
That's how the light gets in

Think by the 3rd of March, I was cracked open
Finally the ground was cold, they wouldn't open
Brought by the sunlight of the spirit to pour into rain
There's a name for it in Japanese, it's kintsugi
They sang folk songs from the '40s
Even the fourteen-year old knew "Froggie Came A-Courtin'"
How do my blood relatives know all of these songs?
I don't know anyone left to know songs that I sing

That's how the light gets in
That's how the light gets in

But daddy, I miss them
I'm at the Roadrunner Café
Probably running away from the feelings today
In the snow-capped mountains of the desert
Daddy, I miss them
I'm in the mountains
Probably running away, I've been meaning to say
That there's nothing to do except know that this is

How the light gets in
Like the cracking, the light gets in
It's how the light gets in
That's how the light gets in
That's how the light gets in
Then you're golden
Ah, ah, ah
Just another folk song, but anyway
I try so hard, but that's okay
It's how the light gets in
It's how the light gets in
It's how the light gets in

Smashing Pumpkins - With Ado I Do

Eye encircles eye
With chimes that peal
Of midnight

If done is done
What have we won
Of midnight

A wheel's rewind
Our lowly tribes
Where time slays old allies
And love 'tis crime
Yes, love slum as I
To all that was vaunted
All we'd ever sought

Hear, God
The prayers of your unwashed
We're lonely where you're lost

Hear, friends
This moment spells the end
Where serpents wind their wend
Hear, God, how this ends

With steps apace
I disappear, untraced
This moment heralds break
Of a shape and shame
And faced, right head on
Is life eternal
In a light you just can't watch

Hear, God
The prayers of our facade
We're watched and only watched
Hear God, how this ends
Hear, friends
This moment's end I lend
From here I'm round the bend
Hear God, how this ends

The Jesus And Mary Chain - Second Of June

Blood moon on the rise
And there's murder in your eyes
And this life is comprise
And lies
Reasons on the run
In this season of the gun
And good people come on down
And run

What you said
All my friends are there
Mother, can you hear me calling you?

I don't feel this anymore
I don't need this anymore
I can't be this anymore
No more

What you said
All those things are there
Brother, can you hear me calling you?

Face the wind
Of the stone coming
Face the sky
Take cover before you die
Jesus and Mary Chain

There's a storm behind my shoulder
There's a blood moon on the rise
There's a storm behind my shoulder
There's a blood moon on the rise
Oh, there's a blood moon on the rise
Oh, there's a blood moon on the rise
Oh, there's a blood moon on the rise
On the rise

M83 - Us And The Rest

Dry heart
A loss of all desire
Flee to the moon hill

Bliss, you're it

Hello, freak
Can you see the sky ladder
By the limbo café
Leading to the green ray?
Sometimes it fades

Night of gold

R.E.M. - Disappear

I've dragged my feet
across the seat
and jumped out the passenger side.
The only thing worth looking for
is what you find inside.
But that had not yet appeared.
Lost, invisible, here.
Tel Aviv and Agadir,
Taroudant or Olomouc
before I learned to see
the vanishing point appear.

I looked for you and everywhere.
I looked for you and everywhere.

There is a calm I haven't come to yet
I spent half my life figuring what comes next
I telescoped in.
I'll finally win,
I'll finally win the prize.
That now my eyes see
a comic's perfect timing squeezed.
I'm headfirst fighting everything
the crushing force of memory
erasing all I've been
the vanishing point appears

I looked for you and everywhere.
I looked for you and everywhere.
Tell me why you're here
I came to disappear.

look at this face.
Can you believe it?
Am I living in a beautiful vacuum?
Because I can't see it
the vanishing point appears.

I looked for you and everywhere.
I looked for you and everywhere.
Tell me why you're here
I came to disappear
tell me why you're here
I came to disappear
I came to disappear

The National feat. Phoebe Bridgers - Laugh Track

Losing my momentum, losing my mind
Not enough to mention, not enough time
I can't even say what it's about
All I am is shreds of doubt

And you don't know how to deal with me
You don't know how that feels
It all comes apart so easily
And you're running out of ideas

Everything melted in less than a week
Watching it felt like forever
The lights started dimming
And then they went out
Heaven came down like a blanket
I can't even say what it's about
All I am is shreds of doubt

So turn on the laugh track
Everyone knows you're a wreck
You're never this quiet, your smile is cracking
You just haven’t found what you’re looking for yet

Turn on the laugh track
We'll see if it changes the scene
Maybe this is just the funniest version
Of us that we've ever been

I think our feet are gonna slip
I think our hands are gonna shake
I think our eyes are gonna cry
I think our hearts are gonna break

Maybe we'll never lighten up
Maybe this isn't gonna quit
I think it's never coming back
Maybe we've always been like this

So turn on the laugh track
Everyone knows you're a wreck
You're never this quiet, your smile is cracking
You just haven’t found what you’re looking for yet

Turn on the laugh track
We'll see if it changes the scene
Maybe this is just the funniest version
Of us that we've ever been

I think our feet are gonna slip
I think our hands are gonna shake
I think our eyes are gonna cry
I think our hearts are gonna break

Maybe we'll never lighten up
Maybe this isn't gonna quit
I think it's never coming back
Maybe we've always been like this

I think our feet are gonna slip
I think our hands are gonna shake
I think our eyes are gonna cry
I think our hearts are gonna break

So turn on the laugh track
Everyone knows you're a wreck
You're never this quiet, your smile is cracking
You just haven’t found what you’re looking for yet

Turn on the laugh track
We'll see if it changes the scene

Alice In Chains - Down In A Hole

Bury me softly in this womb
I give this part of me for you
Sand rains down and here I sit
Holding rare flowers
In a tomb... in bloom

Down in a hole and I don't know if I can be saved
See my heart I decorate it like a grave
Oh, you don't understand who they thought I was supposed to be
Look at me now I'm a man who won't let himself be

Down in a hole, feeling so small
Down in a hole, losing my soul
I'd like to fly
But my wings have been so denied

Down in a hole and they've put all the stones in their place
I've eaten the sun so my tongue has been burned of the taste
I have been guilty of kicking myself in the teeth
I will speak no more of my feelings beneath

Down in a hole, feeling so small
Down in a hole, losing my soul
I'd like to fly
But my wings have been so denied

Bury me softly in this womb
Oh I want to be inside of you
I give this part of me for you
Oh I want to be inside of you
Sand rains down and here I sit
Holding rare flowers
Oh I want to be inside of you
In a tomb... in bloom
Oh I want to be inside...

Down in a hole, feeling so small
Down in a hole, losing my soul
Down in a hole, feeling so small
Down in a hole, out of control
I'd like to fly
But my wings have been so denied

St. Vincent - Just The Same But Brand New

The people in the street had overtaken you
By the time you rounded Second Avenue

So I walked away
All perfumed
Felt just the same
But brand new

And anything you wrote I checked for codes and clues
The letters stopped unceremoniously in June

So I changed my I's
And A's to yours
I'm just the same
But brand new

And I do my best impression of weightlessness, now too
And I might be wrong, I might be wrong, I might be wrong
But honey I believed I could

Float away
Dangling
I'm just the same
But brand new to you

Elvis Costello - Days

Thank you for the days
Those endless days those sacred days you gave me
I'm thinking of the days
I won't forget a single day believe me
I bless the light
I bless the light that shines on you believe me
And though you're gone
You're with me every single day believe me

Days I remember all my life
Days where you can't see wrong from right
You took my life
And then I knew that very soon you'd leave me

But it's alright
Now I'm not frightened of this world believe me
I wish today could be tomorrow
The night is dark
It just brings sorrow let it wait

Thank you for the days
Those endless days those sacred days you gave me
I'm thinking of the days
I won't forget a single day believe me

I bless the light
I bless the light that shines on you believe me
And though you're gone
You're with me every single day believe me
Days I remember all my life
Days where you can't see wrong from right
You took my life
And then I knew that very soon you'd leave me

But it's alright
Now I'm not frightened of this world believe me...days

Thank you for the days
Those endless days those sacred days you gave me
I'm thinking of the days
I won't forget a single day believe me

I bless the light
I bless the light that shines on you believe me
And though you're gone
You're with me every single day believe me...days

The Kills - My Girls My Girls

My girls my girls
Oh, I'm the worst
Homesick for two worlds
I love so hard
My gang is ghosts
My girls my girls
Oh, I'm the worst

How far I've come
Still miles behind you
We're all headed down that road
At some point, I'll try to find you
And grow a soul for when my time comes close
But for now

I'm on those middle of the night vibes
Those singing 'til I die vibes
Reminiscing while I cry vibes
Twitching, I'm so high
Like put me in a ride
Like those vibes
Clinging on for dear life
Like I know I should
I picked a bad time
To feel this good

My girls my girls
Oh, I'm the worst
My girls my girls
Oh, I'm the worst
My girls my girls
Oh, I'm the worst
My girls my girls
Oh, I'm the worst

But for now
I'm on those middle of the night vibes
Those singing 'til I die vibes
Reminiscing while I cry vibes
Twitching, I'm so high
Like put me in a ride
Like those vibes
Clinging on for dear life
Like I know I should
I picked a bad time
To feel this good

My girls my girls
Oh, I'm the worst
My girls my girls
Oh, I'm the worst
My girls my girls
Oh, I'm the worst
My girls my girls
Oh, I'm the worst

Moby - Signs Of Love [Resound NYC version]

I was beautiful
If I had the time
They'd flock to me
Bathe me in the wine
I know that's not the way
I know that's not how things are to be

I was always looking
Oh, I held it when the time began
Subtle things come at me
Look to see where loss had ran
I can have the sun it come
And touch me on my shoulder
Think of all the things that I love when I was colder

I fly so high
Then fall so low
I fly so high
I fly so high

If I was beautiful
If I had the time
They would flock to me
And bathe me in the wine
I know that's not the way
I know that's not how things are to be

I was like you
With nothing to get around
Then everything would be beautiful
As far as I can see
You're sitting here with me
In love

I fly so high
Then fall so low
I fly so high
Then fall so low

I fly so high
Then fall so low

I fly so high
Then fall so low
I fly so high
Then fall so low

I fly so high
Then fall so low

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Get Ready For Love

Get ready for love! Praise Him!
Get ready for love! Praise Him!
Get ready for love! Get ready!

Well, most of all nothing much
ever really happens
And God rides high up in the ordinary sky
Until we find ourselves at our most distracted
And the miracle that was promised
creeps quietly by

Calling every boy and girl
Calling all around the world
Calling every boy and girl
Calling all around the world

Get ready for love! Praise Him!
Get ready for love! Praise Him!

The mighty wave their hankies from their
high-windowed palace
Sending grief and joy down in supportable doses
And we search high and low without
mercy or malice
While the gate to the Kingdom swings
shut and closes

Calling every boy and girl
Calling all around the world
Calling every boy and girl
Calling all around the world

Praise Him till you’ve forgotten
what you’re praising Him for
Praise Him till you’ve forgotten
what you’re praising Him for
Then praise Him a little more

U2 - Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of [Songs of Surrender 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

The Mars Volta - Vigil

I know the way he makes you hide
Even when the dose is fight or flight
And the obits wait for a perfect name
Clean out all the webs he left behind
And if you want, I could bury him out
By the salt on sea, in an empty grave
The past has a way of coming clean

If I didn’t know any better
I could have sworn you said,
“There will come a day for his reckoning”

It's the want of the weight when it crushed
All the centrifugal ways our lives fall in and out of place

One day you’re going to see
That everybody who claimed that you were loved have left
Because one by one they would disappear
Claiming all your wolves were symptoms of deceit

“Don’t let your tongue slit your throat!”
That’s what they always said
This is one last chance that you’ve got to take

It's the want of the weight when it crushed
All the centrifugal ways our lives fall in and out of place

Underneath all your doubt laid a serpents egg
Hissing his way out
You were told,
Severed tongues can’t fall onto their swords
Because you’re the only voice that calls

It’s the want of the weight when it crushed
All the centrifugal ways our lives fall in and out of place

It’s the want of the weight and the rush of the centrifugal fate we all want to escape

R.E.M. - Maps And Legends

He's not to be reached, he's to be reached.
He's not to be reached, he's to be reached.

Called the fool and the company,
On his own where he'd rather be.
Where he ought to be, he sees what you can't see, can't you see that?

Maybe he's caught in the legend,
maybe he's caught in the mood.
Maybe these maps and legends
have been misunderstood.

Down the way the road's divided,
Paint me the places you have seen.
Those who know what I don't know
refer to the yellow, red and green

Maybe he's caught in the legend,
maybe he's caught in the mood.
Maybe these maps and legends
have been misunderstood.

He's not to be reached, he's to be reached.
He's not to be reached, he's to be reached.
He's not to be reached, he's to be reached.
He's not to be reached, he's to be reached.

The map that you painted didn't seem real.
He just sings whatever he's seen
Point to the legend, point to the east,
Point to the yellow, red and green

Maybe he's caught in the legend,
maybe he's caught in the mood.
Maybe these maps and legends
have been misunderstood, been misunderstood. (Maps and legends)

(Maps and legends) Is he to be reached? He's not to be reached.
(Maps and legends) Is he to be reached? He's not to be reached.
(Maps and legends) Is he to be reached? He's not to be reached anymore.

Smashing Pumpkins - Spellbinding

It’s Berlin baby
Luxor ‘n daisies
And I’m plumb crazy
For your tomorrows
It’s Weimar, lately
Luxor ‘n daisies
And I’m plumb crazy
For your tomorrows

Take me away I’m gonna find you
Take me away I’m gonna find you
‘Cause nobody else could ever mind you
Take me away I’m gonna find you

Can you feel this
Can you feel this
I can feel this
For your tomorrows
It’s Berlin, baby
Luxor ‘n daisies
And I’m plumb crazy

Take me away I’m gonna find you
Take me away I’m gonna find you
‘Cause nobody else could ever mind you
Take me away I’m gonna find you
You drew to this rye
While I was righting my own sun
Bright as your eye, and glitched

Take me away I’m gonna find you
Take me away I’m gonna find you
‘Cause nobody else could ever mind you
Take me away I’m gonna find you
It’s Berlin, baby, Weimar blues!
Blues and grays won’t make the change
Can you feel this love I’ve made
Take me away
Take me away

Take me away I’m gonna find you

Kaiser Chiefs - Burning In Flames

When the wheels came off
We started flying
Then we tried to rise above the lightning
But the ride doesn’t stop
Because the stage is a cage

Oh when the stars came down
And danced upon the earth
And i was crowned king of the universe
The inevitable twist is that the stage was a cage

I would like to change your mind
Don't give up
Set the stage
We can go out burning in flames

Burning in flames
Burning in flames
Burning in flames
Set the stage, we can go out burning

And as the years go by it gets much easier to not reply
They’ll send a meteor to just remind
You that the stage is a cage
Here’s to the road ahead
May all the bumps give you the gift of flight
And all the cracks reveal treasures bright
Because the stage is a cage

I would like to change your mind
Don’t give up
Set the stage we can go out burning in flames

Burning in flames
Burning in flames
Burning in flames
Set the stage, we can go out burning

Pearl Jam - Dark Matter

Steal the light from your eyes
Drain the blood from our hearts
In all of this dark matter

Take the breath from our chest
Break the thoughts in our mind
We’re losing time, dark matter

Denounce the demigods
King diamond to discard
Deploy the dialogue
Your word against the law

It’s strange these days
When everybody else pays
For someone else’s mistake

This blame takes shape
Still everybody else pays
For someone else’s mistake

Eroding away
Pulling apart
In all of this dark matter

Once heard it said
And it stuck in my head
Arrested the press
No one knows what happened next

Renounce the demagogues
King diamond to discard
Deploy the dialogue
Your word against the law

No tolerance for
Intolerance or
No patience left for
Impatience no more
No love lost for
Lost loves

No sorrow for
The unaccountable

It’s strange these days
When everybody else pays
For someone else’s mistake

This blame takes shape
Still everybody else pays
For someone else’s mistake.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Carry Me

I lay down by the river
The shadows moved across me, inch by inch
And all that I heard
Was the war between the water and the bridge
Turn to me, turn to me, turn to me
Turn and drink of me
Or look away, look away, look away
And never more think of me

Carry me
Carry me
I heard the many voices
Speaking to me from the depths below
This ancient wound
This catacomb
Beneath the whited snow
Come to me, come to me, come to me

Come and drink of me
Or turn away, turn away, turn away
And never more think of me

Carry me
Carry me away
Who will lay down their hammer?
Who will put up their sword?
And pause to see
The mystery
Of theWord

Carry me
Carry me
Carry me
Carry me away
Carry me
Carry me
Carry me
Carry me away

Blur - The Heights

Suppose I'm on my own tonight
Suppose I've got to find the heights
I gave a lot of heart, so did you
Standing in the back row, this one is for you

Seeing through the coma in our lives
Something so bright out there, you can't even see it
Are we running out of time?
Something so momentary that you can't even feel it

I'll see you in the heights one day
I'll get there too
I'll be standing in the front row
Next to you

Seeing through the coma in our lives
Something so bright out there, you can't even see it
Are we running out of time?
Something so momentary that you can only be it?
So momentary

U2 - Walk On (Ukraine) [Songs of Surrender version]

And if the comic takes the stage
And no one laughs
And does a dance on his own grave
For a photograph
This is not a curtain call
This is the greatest act of all
A stand up for freedom

Walk on, walk on
What you got they can’t steal it
They can’t even feel it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight

And if the dancer on the street
Wears a veil of tears
It’s a dance no army can defeat
Love turns her fears
Into a kind of rage
That can’t be kept inside a cage
You fight or you fly
We’re born or we die
For freedom

Walk on, walk on
What you’ve got they can’t deny it
Can’t sell it or buy it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight
Yeah I know it aches
And your heart it breaks
You could only take so much
Walk on, walk on

Home, you don’t know what it is till you’re forced to flee one
Home, till I know where it is I will have to be one
Home, that’s where the hurt is

I know it aches
How your heart it breaks
And you can only take so much
Walk on, walk on

All that you fashion
All that you make
All that you build
Whatever they break
All that you dream up
All you design
All that you can’t leave behind

All that you reckon
All that you dare
All that you fought for
When it wasn’t there
All that you summit
The hills that you climb
All that you can’t leave behind

Not gonna leave it behind
Not gonna leave it behind
Not gonna leave it behind
Not gonna leave it behind

PJ Harvey - August

Tree-tears vall
wordle-wide.
All ’us cross o’er
t’other side.

‘Vore I leave
someone please,
Love Me Tender
’neath the trees.

Lorn of leaf,
twiddicks sigh.
Child and season
mortify.

Green Day - The American Dream Is Killing Me

The American dream is killing me
The American dream is killing me
When it’s all double talk of conspiracy
The American dream is killing me

Send out an SOS
It’s getting serious
Bulldoze your family home
Now it’s a condo

We are not home
Are we not home
God damn I am so grateful
Forever faithful to

The American dream is killing me
The American dream is killing me

People on the street
Unemployed and obsolete
Did you ever learn to read the ransom note

Don’t want no huddled masses
TikTok and taxes
Under the overpass
Sleeping in broken glass

We are not well
Are we not well
Cracked up into the wild
We’re pedophiles for

The American dream is killing me
The American dream is killing me
When it’s all double talk of insanity
The American dream is killing me

From sea to shining sea
Whitewashed upon the beach
My country under siege
On private property

We are not home
Are we not home
Kiss me I’m dead inside
Who needs suicide

When the American dream is killing me
The American dream is killing me
When it’s all double talk of insanity
The American dream is killing me

White Lies - Am I Really Going To Die

All alone here on the internet
Looking for cures that ain't invented yet
If I don't want to die, then I'm not gonna die

I need validation for your parking lot
Though I'm not sure your science is even worth the cost
She said “Now mister, sit down, and I'll tell you again
There ain't no magic potion for the state that you're in.”
And I need another opinion, see you, thanks a lot.

I need another prescription from illegal stock
Why I'm so denied, is a mystery that no key unlocks
I said “You might as well give enough for six weeks hey
And have you any new info, I'll be quiet and pay”
Oh, I really can't be dealing with these crooked docs

I see a rare looking bird out the car window
Flying like a sign, like he's saying “I know”
This isn't my time to die, you're never really gonna die
I never really want to die, I'm never really gonna die

Life…it holds a whip and beats you to the clock
But why it picks on mine, is an unfairness I can't miss off
I've done the juices and the cleanses, but it's too New Age
I'm waiting for the gold that the big labs make
And I'm getting near my wits end with this feudal hock

I find a penny on the floor at the late-night show
And a girl called Lucky, well what do you know?
This isn't my time to die, I’m never really going to die
I call my daughter right up, just to say “Hello”
I'm clawing at the bottom of an all-time-low

Am I really gonna die?
Am I really gonna die?
“Hey, Dad, don’t say that”
“Hey, Dad, don’t say that”

Kings Of Leon - Nothing To Do

There is panic on the streets
Man is obsolete
The wires got crossed and now we don’t speak
There’s a deer in the pool
And sperrys on the line
He’s looking for directions
Tell me is this your place or mine
And the kid is getting tall
He’s running up the wall
On the list of complaints is you don’t call
Cause you
You want nothing to do with love
You want nothing to do with love
I got the message
It’s only legend after all
Nothing to do with
Touched by the thunder
And kissed by the rain
I’m a man on a mission of going insane
There’s a gold in the breeze
It’s running in your hair
Is it in my head is neither here nor there
And a picture framed of the day we met
It’s a mystery
How could i forget that you
You want nothing to do with love
You want nothing to do with love
I got your message
I got the number off the wall
You want nothing to do with love
Nothing to do with love
You want nothing to do with love
Nothing to do with love
Nothing to do with love
There is panic on the streets
Man is obsolete
Our wires got crossed and now we don’t

Smashing Pumpkins - To The Grays

Posie fields, she drifts alone
The sleep of oz 'n gramophones
She wound me up so I'll ramble on
To meet her savior, wick and tong
As I've been notice
I've been sharped
'N how I know lays
Cinders at your heart
It's springtime out there where we part

Springtime
It's springtime out there
That's where we part

It's another warm day
With stars that swirl as but leaves
And like another warm day
Where we began as we'll end
Love, our sun
Our sexton
Love as one

But wait, these fates knock darkly
But wait, but wait

Chelsea Wolfe - Eyes Like Nightshade

as equals, we meet
time collapses
silently, you turn to me
an outline, a silhouette

eyes like nightshade
eyes like -

cleanse me, teach me
in your gentle resilience
as time slows, stay close to me

I am flying in my sleep
I am flying in my sleep

it’s like lightning finds me
when you’re around
flashing curiously

past the borders of the frame
ink on the page
eclipse me, reveal me

eyes like nightshade
eyes like nightshade
eyes like nightshade
eyes like nightshade

The National feat. Taylor Swift - The Alcott

I get myself twisted in threads to meet you at The Alcott
I go to the corner in the back where you'd always be
And there you are sitting as usual with your golden notebook
Writing something about someone who used to be me

And the last thing you wanted
Is the first thing I do
I tell you my problems
You tell me the truth
It's the last thing you wanted
It's the first thing I do
I tell you that I think I'm falling
Back in love with you

I sit there silently waiting for you to look up
I see you smile when you see it's me
I had to do something to break into your golden thinking
How many times will I do this and you'll still believe?

It's the last thing you wanted
Tell me which side are you on, dear
It's the first thing you do
Give me some tips to forget you
You tell me your problems
Have I become one of your problems?
And I tell you the truth
Could it be easy this once?
It's the last thing you wanted
Everything that’s mine is a landmine
It's the first thing I do
Did my love aid and abet you?
I tell you that I think I'm falling
Back in love with you

And I'll ruin it all over
I'll ruin it for you
I'll ruin it all over
And over, like I always do
Why don’t you
I'll ruin it all over
Rain on my parade
I'll ruin it for you
Shred my evening gown
I'll ruin it all over
Read my sentence out loud
And over, like I always do
Cuz I love this curse on our house

It's the last thing I wanted
Tell me which side are you on, dear
It's the first thing I do
Give me some tips to forget you
I tell you my problems
Have I become one of your problems?
And you tell me the truth
It's the last thing I wanted
Everything that’s mine is a landmine
It's the first thing I do
Did my love aid and abet you?
I tell you that I think I'm falling

Back in love
Back in love
Back in love with you
Back in love with you

Metallica - Too Far Gone?

I, I am desperation
Need it so bad today
I, I am isolation
Static and disarray
Need this, gotta have more
Crawling out my skin
Sickness, scarring returns
Burning me again

Too far gone
Am I too far gone
Am I too far gone to save?
Help me make it through the day
No

I, I am tribulation
Digging down to the bone
I, I am agitation
Never leaves me alone
Keep on, push it along
Don’t want to feel this
Sink in, start to believe
That I don’t exist

Too far gone
Am I too far gone
Am I too far gone to save?
Help me make it through the day
Oh

All away
I am desperation
All away
I am isolation
All away
I am agitation
All away

Too far gone
Never too far gone
I’m never too far gone to save
I can make it through the day

Make it through the day

Just for today

Depeche Mode - My Favourite Stranger

Some perfect stranger
Sneaks on tiptoes
Steals my shadow
And goes where I go

My favourite stranger
Stands in my mirror
Puts words in my mouth
All broke and bitter

Some perfect stranger
My imitation
Drops my name in
My conversations

Some perfect stranger
Speaks when I speak
Walks in my footsteps
And talks in my sleep

My favourite stranger
Stands where I stand
Leaves crime in my wake
And blood on my hands

The Jesus And Mary Chain - Chemical Animal

I don't know
Simplify
To get by
To notify

There is something you should know
There is something I don't show
I fill myself with chemicals
To hide the dark shit I don't show
To hide the dark shit I don't show

Chemical animal
Chemical animal

Please illuminate
Please illuminate
Please don't hesitate
To illuminate

I'm not pleased to meet you
I don't need to meet you
I don't want to meet you
You don't want to meet me too

There is something you should know
There is something I don't show
I fill myself with chemicals
To hide the dark shit I don't show
To hide the dark shit I don't show
To hide the dark shit I don't show
To hide the dark shit I don't show

The Mars Volta - Collapsible Shoulders [Acoustic version]

Where did you go?
A mile of scrolling faces
Plastered in the gaze of notice eviction
No one seemed to care if you were still in the trenches

And the earth splits in two
And I watch you fall deep inside

I'm living on the verge of ruin
And never did I hear you say "Leave no man behind"
I'm searching for that voice I knew
But never did I hear you say "Leave no man behind"

Did I do this to you?
It's your incarceration
Time released guilt to the blood moon stream
Caught me dead to rights when you said "Fuck this forever"

And a truancy of wasps begin trying' to make us their home
As we pull their wings off one by one

I'm living on the verge of ruin
And never did I hear you say "Leave no man behind"
I'm searching for that voice I knew
But never did I hear you say "Leave no man behind"

Never did I hear you say "Leave no man behind"
Never did I hear you say "Leave no man behind"

I'm living on the verge of ruin
And never did I hear you say "Leave no man behind"
I'm searching for that voice I knew
But never did I hear you say "Leave no man behind"

Never did I hear you say "Leave no man behind"

St. Vincent - Cruel

Bodies, can't you see what everybody wants from you?

Forgive the kids, for they don't know how to live
Run the alleys casually cruel
Cruel, cruel

Bodies, can't you see what everybody wants from you?
For you could want that, too
They could take or leave you
So they took you, and they left you
How could they be casually cruel?
Cruel, cruel, oh
Cruel, cruel, oh

Bodies, can't you see what everybody wants from you?
If you could want that, too, then you'll be happy

You were the one waving flares in the air so they could see you
And they were a zephyr, blowing past ya, blowing fastly so they can see ya
Cruel, cruel, oh
Cruel, cruel, oh

R.E.M. - Oddfellows Local 151

Oddfellows local 151 behind the firehouse
Where Peewee sits to prove a sage to teach
Peewee gathered up his proof
Reached up and scratched his head
Fell down and hit the ground again

Firehouse. Firehouse.

Why do the heathens rage behind the firehouse
Where Peewee sits upon the wall to preach?
This boy and girl that gather pearls
Of wisdom falling from his mouth
Wash off the blood, wash off the rum

Firehouse. Firehouse.

Oddfellows local 151 behind the firehouse
Where Peewee sits upon the wall to preach.
This boy and girl that gather pearls
Of wisdom falling from his mouth
Wash off the blood, wash off the 151.

Firehouse. Firehouse.
Firehouse. Firehouse.

Smashing Pumpkins - The Good in Goodbye

To dank doom, to dank fire
Into the black at heart
Anointed ones, provided sons
Who are the last to rule
Trade on, receivers, he ain't coming to
For far have I wandered at last
Into your bughouse ruse

'Round dead moon
To transpire
Behind the blast of an ark
We fed hearth
We draw dire
To the edge of fear
Lay down your winters
"Lay down," cried faith
For once you've left as your father's son
You're blessed as the dove I face

We shine as we all shine on
Shine as we all shine
We shine as we all shine on
Shine as we all shine
We shine as we all shine on
Shine as we all shine

Trade on, deceivers
As sound removes the thorn
He's grown still and borne this great repast
It's into the coming
He's into the coming morn

Shine as we all shine
We shine as we all shine on
Shine as we all shine
We shine as we all shine on
Shine as we all shine
We shine as we all shine on
Shine as we all shine

M83 - Deceiver

Distant writer
I can read my destiny through you
Everybody, "He's my writer"
He makes my world flow

Distance driver
Can you see it all?
Can you breathe it all?
Everybody, "He's my writer"
He turns me on

London Grammar - Californian Soil

I left my soul
On Californian soil
And I left my pride
With that woman by my side
I never had a willing hand
And I never had a plan
But I'm glad I found you here
But I'm glad I've got you here
But I never had a name
And I never felt the same

They keep on tryin' to end it all
And they will keep on tryin' to end it all
And they will keep on tryin' to end it all
And I never felt the same

I am young, I am old
And so you do what you're told
I never had a willing hand
And so you pack up all your bags
But I'm glad I've got you here
Well I'm glad I've got you here
But I never felt the same
And this life is just a game

They keep on tryin' to end it all
They keep on tryin' to end it all
And they will keep on tryin' to end it all
Until you never feel the same

dEUS - How To Replace It

Do you ever think about
How to replace it
Now the night turns in
Into a poker tell

And the day runs dry
Where once was a well
An enormous chill
That you need to quell

Hear the fishermen cough
And the seagulls cry
How they call your bluff
When you touch the sky
Do you ever feel
After setting sail
What looks far away
Doesn’t get any closer by

We don’t know enough of what we
Have until it’s gone they say
It’s heaven over there until the devil has another say
You pray
As if time will ever tell

Politics and sympathies 200 different kinds of glee
I wonder what the world would be
When everybody’s in the sea
I wait
As if time will ever tell

Let the preachers whine
They haven’t got a clue
When the signal dies
What do I really lose

There are many ways
How to replace
These tired lines
Of these modern blues

So the summer creaks
When the daughter speaks
It is in our gift
To plug up the leaks
Do you ever think
As if time will ever tell

Garbage in the mail today I’ll send them on a holiday
Someone should tell them they should stay
Around the clock, eternity
We’ll see
As if time will ever tell

Suspicion is the lightning rod, believe in you believe in god
I tried it out, I liked it not
I love your feet they make me hot
We wait
As if time will ever tell

We are careful
We’re not running to the hills
Our feathers will be
Sticking to our skin
What are we in for

When the night comes
We won’t falter we had
Years of light and
We get smaller, we will win
What are we in for

Was it good for you
Cause I can hardly speak
When the flesh is strong
Then the mind is weak
Still we soldier on
We turn up the noise
So we don’t hear the gong
Of our losing streak

Do you ever think about
How to replace it
How the night turns in
Into a fire hose
For you to get
Your daily dose
You stand naked
As the cold wind blows

Leave no traces
Abandon everything
Don’t replace it
You won’t miss a thing
And feel
As if time will ever tell

Tracks are covered
When you’re looking back
Names and lovers
Lost under the stack
It seems
Now it’s time to break the spell

Now break it up

Now break it up

As if time will ever tell
