Kasabian - Test Transmission

Standing here on this burning bridge
Trying to figure out but there's nothing here
Seem like they got the fear
Cattle grids rattle gold chains pay it back
Just count all the chickens
And tell your son that he should steal the gold

The kings send their knights, check these soul satellites
Test transmission is calling me back home
The kings send their knights, check these soul satellites
Test transmission is calling me back home

Too messed up to perform this
Can't you see I'll only miss you now
And memories get, they get washed to the seas
Feeding tape through the fabric, must tune in
Unless you're trapped tomorrow
Get out the sun, get out before it gets you back

The kings send their knights, check these soul satellites
Test transmission is calling me back home
The kings send their knights, check these soul satellites
Test transmission is calling me back home

And I feel close enough, taste the change, feel the rays
It's gonna get you again, setting sun is coming back again
And I feel close enough, taste the change, feel the rays
It's gonna get you again, setting sun is coming back again

Pearl Jam - Never Destination

Blisters on my fingers,.. Blisters on my brain
Blisters on the voices,... Crazy makes insane

There’s an angry sea,.. An ocean in my eyes
The waves are rolling,.. I’m becoming blind

I won’t be taken,.. Won’t take myself
Kicking and screaming, have to knock me off the shelf

Feels like illusion,.. This taking place?
Disease of confusion,.. Stripped of our grace

Don’t wanna believe it,.. These endless miles
Never destination, Just MORE DENIAL

Some resolution,.. Some justice tied
To this collusion hiding in plain sight

Off in the distance,.. Leviathans
50 foot and breaking on our innocence

Don’t wanna believe it,.. These endless miles
Never destination, Just MORE DENIAL

I can’t believe it,.. These endless lies
Never destination, just MORE DENIAL

WHEN YOU MAKE THE DROP,.. THE GAPING MAW
Keeps us alive,.. Should we survive

Thank you Bob Honey,.. Thanks Paul Theroux
If I ever die, to this place let me go

Off in the distance,.. Leviathans
50 foot and breaking on my innocence

I won’t be taken,.. Won’t take myself
Kicking and screaming, have to knock me off the shelf

Say see-ya later,.. Never say goodbye
This is a little trick I play on my own mind

Don’t wanna believe it,.. These endless miles
Never destination, Just MORE DENIAL
She was a singer in a rock-n-roll band
Had command of all her voices

Turned herself into a hologram
It all came down to choices

So I say til then,.. Never say goodbye
A little trick I play,.. On my mind

Emma Ruth Rundle - Races

off to the races and I let ride, what’s changed us in our time
I’ll take the wheel but it’s the hunger that drives and fades us and our kind
sometimes this place is a prison and sometimes a palace, I’ll be the king in my crown
and sometimes the blood and the love is what I’m drinking of
I’m going to drag through the whole town
everyday I’m fading away again, It’s my kind
every night I come back to life again, it’s my time to shine
all fire, all fire, all fire on me, just standing in the sun
and off to the races, I’ll let it slide, all fire in our time
sometimes your love is the thing that I, is the blood that I’m just drinking though towns
and sometimes the night is a prison and sometimes a palace
I’m still the king in my own crown
everyday I’m fading away again,it’s my kind
every night you know I come alive again, it’s my time to shine
and everywhere you..I’m going to find, and everything we...
Nothing’s going to stop us

Smashing Pumpkins - The Celestials

On the day that you were born
They built an empire off a scream
I can't explain
Endlessly they'll set you free
Give you reason to believe
This empty place
I may seem unafraid
And I may seem unashamed
But I will be special k

Never let the summer catch you down
Never let your thoughts run free
Even when their numbers draw you out
Everything I want is free
'Til the end
'Til the end
'Til the end
I'm gonna love you 101 percent
I'm gonna love you 'til this ends

Take a chance if you should go
Face upon your happy home
The scanners wait
Selfishly they might concede
You were always on your own
You can't escape
I may seem unafraid
And I may seem unashamed
But I will be special k

Never let the summer catch you down
Never let your thoughts run free
Even when their numbers draw you out
Everything I want is free

You're not me and never ever will you ever be
I'm gonna find you and never run against
I'm gonna find you 'til the end
'Til the end
'Til the end
Never let the summer catch you down
Never let your thoughts run free
Even while their numbers call you out
Everything I want is free
Everything I want is free
Everything I want is free
Everything I want is free
Free you're free with me
Free you're free with me
Free you're free with me
You're free with me oh oh

Peter Murphy - Sherpa

Workers looking for the day
Looking as they say
Looking for the mountain
Discrete still wanderers
Feeling out their way
Up and down sonambulance
Singing through the land

No slaughterhand
Sipping living stream
Oh perfect man
Singing in their dreams
No slaughterhand
Sipping living stream
Oh perfect man
Singing in their dreams

Oh before the school
Of a simple rule
A saint nor sinner
In their eye
They want to fly
No break of wheel
They want to fly

No slaughterhand
Sipping living stream
Oh perfect man
Singing in their dreams
No slaughterhand
Sipping living stream
Oh perfect man
Singing in their dreams

Sting be no sting
No slaughterhand
Sipping living stream
Oh perfect man
Singing in their dreams
No slaughterhand
Sipping living stream
Oh perfect man
Singing in their dreams

Arcade Fire - I Love Her Shadow

I met her in the moonlight
Holding someone else’s hand
And learned I was a jealous man

All the love in her eyes
Broke me at first sight
We’re breaking into heaven tonight

My brain had disconnected
My body from my heart
She dropped her hammer
And broke me apart

I kissed her at the crossroads
Then jumped another train
We’re breaking into heaven again

I love her shadow
And I love her light
We’re breaking into heaven tonight

I love her shadow
and I love her light
We’re breaking into heaven tonight

Breaking into heaven tonight
We’re breaking into heaven tonight
Breaking into heaven tonight

Want you to tell me everything
About your hometown in the stars
Want to make new constellations
From your permanent scars
We never met but I remember who you are

I remember who you areI love her shadow
And I love her light
We’re breaking into heaven tonight

I love her shadow
And I love her light
We’re breaking into heaven tonight

Breaking into heaven tonight
We’re breaking into heaven tonight
Breaking into heaven tonight
Breaking into heaven tonight
Breaking into heaven tonight
Breaking into heaven tonight

I love her shadow
I love her shadow
I love her shadow

(Never Go)

She loves me
She loves me not
She loves me
She loves me not
She loves me
She loves me not
She loves me
She loves me not
She loves me
She loves me not

Alanis Morissette - spiral

I could be daydreaming but for a moment
And somehow they're creeping back in
I could be sleeping awakened the torrent
Somehow I get caught in their grips again

And here I am in my shame spiral
I'm sucked in to it again
And I reach out for your benevolent opinion
And you bring the light back in, oh

Don't leave me here with all these critical voices
'Cause they do their best to bring me down, bring me down
When I'm alone with all these negative voices
I will need your help to turn them down, turn them 'round

I could be listening to a conversation
The story I'm not even in
These voices have their way when I am unguarded
Suddenly I step in quicksand again

Once again in my shame spiral
I am glad that you've weighed in, oh

Don't leave me here with all these critical voices
'Cause they do their best to bring me down, bring me down
When I'm alone with all these negative voices
I will need your help to turn them down, turn them 'round

All these judgements, so incisive
Voices left to their devices
This moments narrate is a desperate plea
For slack to be cut to me
Cut to me, oh

Don't leave me here with all these critical voices
'Cause they do their best to bring me down, bring me down
When I'm alone with all these negative voices
I will need your help to turn them down, turn them 'round

Turn them 'round
Turn them 'round

The Jesus And Mary Chain - Who Do You Love?

I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire
I use a cobra snake for a neck tie
I got a brand new house on the roadside
Made from rattlesnake hide
I got a brand new chimney made on top
Made out of human skull
Come on take a little walk with me
Arlene tell me who do you love?

Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?

Tombstone hand and a graveyard mind
Just twenty-two and I don't mind dying
??
??
I rode around the town used a rattlesnake whip
Take it easy baby don't you give me no lip now

Who do you love?
Who do you love?
(I said) Who do you love?
(Ah well) Who do you love? (she said)

The night was dark and the sky was blue
Down the alley and an ice wagon flew
Somebody screamed you should've heard what I've seen
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Well Arlene took me by the hand she said
"Oh, you boy, don't you understand"
"Oh, boy, dear don't you know?"
"Ah Understand, understand"
Who do you love? she said
Who do you love? she said
Who do you love? she said
Who do you love? she said

(Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?)

(originally recorded by Bo Diddley)

Garbage - When I Grow Up

Cut my tongue out
I've been caught out
Like a giant juggernaut
Happy hours
Golden showers
On a cruise to freak you out

We could fly a helicopter
Nothing left to talk about
Entertain you
Celebrate you
I'll be back to frame you

When I grow up
I'll be stable
When I grow up I'll turn the tables

Trying hard to fit among you
Floating out to wonderland
Unprotected
God I'm pregnant
Damn the consequences

When I grow up
I'll be stable
When I grow up
I'll turn the tables

Blood and blisters
On my fingers
Chaos rules when we're apart
Watch my temper
I go mental
I'll try to be gentle

When I grow up
I'll be stable
When I grow up
I'll turn the tables

When I grow up
When I grow up
When I grow up
I'll turn the tables

Don't take offense
Better make amends
Rip it all to shreds and let it go

I rip it all to shreds and let it go
I rip it all to shreds and let it go
I rip it all to shreds and let it go

Beck - Painted Eyelids

I wake up and look upon your painted eyelids.
The world is your oyster and the trash bags are your kids.
The ceiling is invisible. There's a bird sinking through the sky.
And every hour that passes is teaching me how to cry.
'Cause it's lonely here in the ugly part of town.
The buildings are all vacant and the telephones are down.
There's a police siren singing like a tiger with no skin.
The sewer drain is glowing and I don't know which state I'm in.
And the river is on fire. There's chemicals and debris.
And all the roads are blocked off. They're just too hard to see.
So cancel my appointments and set up a whole new show.
'Cause I'm in need of a good hot meal and a life to call my own.
So get me a plate of money and get me a blanket and a chair.
The limitations are limitless. They're floating through the air.
'Cause it's real and it's true—the things I see in you.
And there's nothing I wouldn't talk about.
You're the clearest dream that ever drifted by.

Johnny Cash - I Still Miss Someone

At my door the leaves are falling
A cold wild wind will come
Sweethearts walk by together
And I still miss someone
I go out on a party
And look for a little fun
But I find a darkened corner
Because I still miss someone

Oh, I never got over those blue eyes
I see them every where
I miss those arms that held me
When all the love was there
I wonder if she's sorry
For leaving what we'd begun
There's someone for me somewhere
And I still miss someone

I still miss someone

Oh, I never got over those blue eyes
I see them every where
I miss those arms that held me
When all the love was there
I wonder if she’s sorry
For leaving what we’d begun
There’s someone for me somewhere
And I still miss someone
I still miss someone

The Gathering - Strange Machines

It has always been in the back of my mind
Dreaming about going to the corners of time
I always wanted to fly in strange machines

I wanna do centuries in a lifetime
And feel it with my hands
Touch the world war II and Cleopatra
Flying...

Could it be that my dream would come true
Building a machine that would actually do
What I want it to do

Russian revolution, let's do that in one day
Beethoven and Gershwin I think that would be o.k.
More than anything I wanna fly in strange machines

I wanna do centuries in a lifetime
And see it with my eyes
Watch Jesus rise, if he ever did
Flying...

I wanna do centuries in a lifetime
And feel it with my hands
Touch renaissance and Chaka Khan
Flying...

Björk - Oceania

One breath away from mother Oceania
Your nimble feet make prints in my sands
You have done good for yourselves
Since you left my wet embrace
And crawled ashore
Every boy, is a snake is a lily
Every pearl is a lynx, is a girl
Sweet like harmony made into flesh
You dance by my side
Children sublime

You show me continents
I see islands
You count the centuries
I blink my eyes
Hawks and sparrows race in my waters
Stingrays are floating
Across the sky
Little ones, my sons and my daughters
Your sweat is salty
I am why, I am why
I am why
Your sweat is salty
I am why, I am why
I am why, I am why

The Mission - Hungry As The Hunter

Dressed as seduction she's curious and cruel
She steals her way into your trust
And first you want her kiss and then you want her more
And then she'll have you crawling in the dust
Don't speak to me of dignity don't speak to me of love
Don't talk to me of sanctity don't talk to me of love
She's hungry as the hunter and she's shooting for the thrill
She's hungry as the hunter and she shoots to kill

The swastika a grinning skull tattooed on your arm
The needle and the damage done
The heresy of romance with the lady in white
And the beautiful and damned die young
Don't count on me for sympathy don't come to me for love
Don't talk to me of liberty don't talk to me of love
She's hungry as the hunter and she's shooting for the thrill
She's hungry as the hunter she shoots to kill

You've gone to the devil god rest your soul
A shot in your arm is like a knife in my back
Addiction to the lady coursing through your veins
She holds the whip you love to crack
Don't talk to me of serenity don't talk to me of love
Don't speak to me of divinity don't speak to me of love
She's hungry as the hunter and she's prowling like the hound
She's hungry as the hunter she'll track you down
She's hungry as the hunter and she's shooting for the thrill
She's hungry as the hunter she shoots to kill

The Cult - The Wolf

Black hearts and devils in the night
Mean streets raised me up to fight
I'm a lover but I've been known quick to strike
You think you know me, oh, but you're never right

Don't be deceived by the liars
Caught in the jaws and the flame
I've been consumed by the trials
These wicked teeth that hold my name, that hold my name, that hold my name

Pages burn, I watch the words ignite
And my heart feels beyond this strife
Look into the black jaws of the night
Take back what I lost and

I give my heart to the heavens
I give my heart to the light
Yeah, to the light

Don't be deceived by the liars
Caught in the jaws and the flame
I've been consumed by the trials
These wicked teeth that hold my name, that hold my name, that hold my name

Moby feat. Lady Blackbird - dark days

In the days of early man
We had drinks right on the sand
And the view from Shangri-La
Was me and you

Hear the waves crash on the beach
And the night is now in breach
And the rain the dirty air
Fall on me..

If you stay you're gonna go
Underneath down below
So I'll fly
Fly away
From the apocalypse

If you stay you're gonna go
Underneath down below
So I'll fly
Fly away
From the apocalypse

The Sisters Of Mercy - Lucretia My Reflection [12 Extended Mix]

I hear the roar of a big machine
Two worlds and in between
Hot metal and methedrine
I hear empire down
I hear empire down

I hear the roar of a big machine
Two worlds and in between
Love lost, fire at will
Dum-dum bullets and shoot to kill, I hear
Dive, bombers, and
Empire down
Empire down

I hear the sons of the city and dispossessed
Get down, get undressed
Get pretty but you and me,
We got the kingdom, we got the key
We got the empire, now as then,
We don't doubt, we don't take direction,
Lucretia, my reflection, dance the ghost with me

We look hard
We look through
We look hard to see for real
Such things I hear, they don't make sense
I don't see much evidence
I don't feel. I don't feel. I don't Feel

A long train held up by page on page
A hard reign held up by rage
Once a railroad
Now it's done...

I hear the roar of a big machine
Two worlds and in between
Hot metal and methedrine
I hear empire down...

We got the empire, now as then,
We don't doubt, we don't take reflection,
Lucretia, my direction, dance the ghost with me...

The Raveonettes - KILLER

She's standing by my side
With the rain in her hair
She walks away with me
You know people stare
And I know it's not too late
To try

Kill for love but make it so I don't care
Most of the time I felt so alone
Kill for love but make it so I don't care
Most of the time I felt so alone

Sigur Rós - Ylur

...

The Jesus And Mary Chain - On The Wall

Unlike the mole
I'm not in a hole
And I can't see anyway
Just like a doll
I am one foot tall
But dolls can't see anyway
The frozen stare
The clothes and hair
These make me taste like a man
Tied to a door
Chained to a floor
An hour glass grain of sand
Life in a sack is coming back
I'm like the clock on the wall
Swim in the sea
Swim inside me
But you can't swim far away
I never grew
Covered up by you
And nothing grows anyway
Life in a sack is coming back
I'm like the clock on the wall

Toy Dolls - Dorkamania

He's a trainspotter, he’s an anorak
He's a nerd, you've heard the word, a dork, a maniac
He's a pratt, he’s a geek, a freak, he's one o' those
Squarest tossers in the street, n' everybody knows

It's...
Dorkamania, he's goininsania
I never met a moron who is more mundania
Dorkamania, he's gotta a be brainia
But what's he gonna do when he gets there
Coz it's all
Dorkamania

In ornithology, he’s got a ph.D.
He's a master, bater, taken to the 1st degree
Grand world class chess champions,
The wally worships these
He's a bore, i've said before, and we all agree

It's... Dorkamania

He's absurd, there ain't a bird i've heard
That he can pull
They say he's fascinatin' till they date him,
Then they hate him
We've never met a bloke so dull.

So the silly sod gets surfin' on the internet
He’s out to find arsehole mate, he's found nobody yet
Is there anybody out there, that will be my pal?
I don't need a nutter, just somebody abnormal

It's dorkamania

Morrissey - All You Need Is Me

You hiss and groan and you constantly moan
but you don't ever go away
and that's because all you need is me

you roll your eyes up to the skies
mock horrified - but you're still here
because all you need is me

there's so much destruction
all over the world
and all you can do is
complain about me

you bang your head against the wall and say you're sick of it all
yet you remain
'cause all you need is me

and then you offer your one-and-only
joke and you ask me what will I be
when I grow up to be a man
me? nothing...

there's a soft voice singing in your head
who can this be?
I do believe it's me

there's a naked man standing laughing in your dreams
you know who it is
but you don't like what it means

There's so much destruction
all over the world
and all you can do is
complain about me

I was a small fat child in a welfare house,
there was only one thing I ever dreamed about
and fate has just handed it to me, whoopee

You don't like me but you love me
either way, you're wrong
you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
you're gonna miss me when I'm gone

The Vaccines - Blow It Up

Okay, I could live without it
Were you ever my age? No, I doubt it
A Native-American feather
Degenerates look better in leather

Blow, blow, blow it up!
Blow, blow, blow it up!
Blow, blow, blow it up!
Blow it up! Blow it up! Blow it up!

Tripping out is fun on the weekend
But you don't feel as young with a girlfriend
I'm bored of trying to deal with your ego
Play it like that and it will though

Blow, blow, blow it up!
Blow, blow, blow it up!
Blow, blow, blow it up!
Blow it up! Blow it up!

Blow, blow, blow it up!
Blow, blow, blow it up!
Blow, blow, blow it up!
Blow it up! Blow it up! Blow it up!

Queens Of The Stone Age - Leg Of Lamb

You're a head case with a smile Can't stop to make up your mind Education is so lame (It's so lame) When you bitch and you moan You're a loose girl, I'm a guy (Hey) You're a truth freak with a lie The situation is so strange It's a TV show (Click)

James - Protect Me

Oh dear what can the matter be
Princess, dreaming again
Fearful, live life more easily
Darkness, leave her in peace

Always wanting help
Will make you weak
No such place has help
But in your dreams
Climb out of your well

Protect me
Protect me

Angel, what is possessing me
Feeling, making me weak
Falling under your spell again
Wanting, love's out of reach

Climb out of your well
It's not so deep
The price of living life
Is not so steep
No such place has help

Protect me
Protect me

Here they come again, here they come again, here they come again

Always wanting help
Will make you weak
The price of loving life
Does not come cheap
Climb out of your well

Protect me
Protect me

Editors - Upside Down

Out of the requiem, I don't notice you
As your cheap perfume fills the air
You're more than a lightning strike, you're a figurine
Glow like a movie screen, calm like a prayer

Never give up now, never give up, just never give up
I know it ain't easy
Never give up now, never give up, just never give up
Nothing comes easy

You could be upside down
But I hang with you, oh yeah
People don't play that sound
It's not what we're into
Oh, it's not what we're into

I'm not a dream, I'm not some optimist
I can't handle this little spark
The guilt of the cocaine kiss is afire in you
Oh the things you do in the dark

Never give up now, never give up, just never give up
I know it ain't easy
Never give up now, never give up, just never give up Nothing comes easy
You could be upside down
But I hang with you, oh yeah
People don't play that sound
It's not what we're into
Oh, it's not what we're into

Pearl Jam - MFC

Sliding... out of reverse into drive, this
Wheel will be turning right, then straight
Off in the sunset she'll ride
She can... remember a time denied, stood by
Side of the road, spilled like wine, now
She's out on her own and line high

There's no leaving here
Ask, I'm an ear
She's disappeared

They said... timing was everything, made him
Want to be everywhere, there's a
Lot to be said for nowhere

There's no leaving here
Ask, I'm an ear
We've disappeared
There's no leaving here
Ask, I'm an ear
Fuck it, we'll disappear

The Mission - Divided We Fall

I′m the father of a bastard child
And I ain't talking about my daughter
I feel like my head′s on a chopping block
Like a lamb being led
Being led to slaughter
I close my eyes but sleep won't come
Now I've got the devil to pay
So sick and tired of this masquerade
How many roles do you think I can play?


Do you feel
Do you feel it at all?
Cause together we stand
But divided we fall

I′d load up my gun to play Russian roulette
But I′m too damn scared to pull the trigger
Cause a bullet in the head would leave me dead
And it's better to live as a rock n roll nigga

Do you feel
Do you feel it at all?
Cause together we stand
But divided we fall
No man can fight another
Like the man who fights himself
And it′s always a fight without a winner
There's endless lines on the way to hell
Cause heaven never welcomes a sinner

Do you feel
Do you feel it at all?
Cause together we stand
But divided we fall
Do you feel
Do you feel it at all?
Cause together we stand
But divided we fall

Mazzy Star - Blue Light

There's a blue light
In my best friend's room
There's a blue light
In his eye

There's a blue light, yeah
I want to see it
Shine

There's a ship
That sails by my window
There's a ship that sails on by

There's a world under it
I think I see it
Sailing away
I think it's sailing
Miles crashing me by
Crashing me by
Crashing me by

There's a world
Outside my doorstep
Flames over
Everyone's hot
Don't you see them shining
I want to hear them
Beating for me
I think I hear them

Waves crashing me by
Crashing me by
Crashing me by

Suede - This Time

Oh, day after day, every morning
The city sighs and cars collide
Oh we take the train
Through the winter hinterlands and garage bands
An we wash it away, we wash it away this grey
Wash it away

Oh, 'cause this time is yours and mine
Oh hear the city sound
See the lonely crowds
This scene is you and me
Oh in the lazy sun
We're the only ones

Oh, day after day, every morning
The roundabouts will take us out
Past every train in every station
Traffic signs and circle lines
Oh we wash it away, we wash it away this grey
Wash it away

Oh, 'cause this time is yours and mine
Oh hear the city sound
See the lonely crowds
This scene is you and me
Oh in the lazy sun
We're the only ones

The Mars Volta - The Iron Rose

You're the one that I want
The only one that I want
You're the one that I want
The only one that I want

All these forgeries perched upon my shoulders
Maybe they will go away
These wires get crossed
Holding cables that've frayed
Let 'em hang

Ten thousand phantoms rush through me
And I know I'll regret it
If you have watched me mid eclipse
Then you should know
That it's not safe inside my mind

You're the one that I want
The only one that I want
You're the one that I want
The only one that I want

Maybe I am cold and mirrorless
Maybe I am caught in the cold

Every time you let me
I can't look down the needle's eye
I never wanted to fail
But I always fail

Ten thousand fathoms underneath
Can you feel my hands?
Watching me close to endless sleep
Then you should know
That it's not safe inside my mind

You're the one that I want
The only one that I want
Mercy in the crosshairs, let me go

You're the one that I want
The only one that I want
Mercy in the crosshairs, let me go

You're the one that I want
The only one that I want
Mercy in the crosshairs, let me go

You're the one that I want
The only one that I want
Mercy in the crosshairs, let me go

Maybe I am cold and mirrorless
Maybe I am caught in the cold

Megadeth - Ashes In Your Mouth

People have round shoulders from bearing heavy loads
And the soldiers liberate them, laying mines along their roads
Sorrow paid for valor is too much to recall
Of the countless corpses piled up along the wailing wall

Melting down all metals, turning plows and shears to swords
Shun words of the Bible, we need implements of war
Chalklines and red puddles of those who have been slain
Destiny, that crooked schemer, says the dead shall rise again

Where do we go from here?
And should we really care?
The end is finally here
God have mercy!

Now we've rewritten history
The one thing we've found out
Sweet taste of vindication
It turns to ashes in your mouth

Where do we go from here?
And should we really care?
The end is finally here
God have mercy!
If you're fighting to live
It's okay to die
The answer to your question is:
"Welcome to tomorrow."

Where do we go from here?
God have mercy!

Where do we go from here?
And should we really care?
The end is finally here
God have mercy!

Where do we go from here?
And should we really care?
The end is finally here
God have mercy!

Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy

Cat Power - Faces

Looking out across the next few days
I can see, nothing
Looking out across the next few year
I can see, they're gonna go by fast
Looking out across the next few days
Smoke's gonna clear slowly
Looking out across the next few days
I can see, they're gonna go by fast
They're gonna go by
Lying for, me
So I won't hear a thing
To bat me back
So I'll notice some grave thing
I'm not made of successful things
I'm not made of successful things
I'm not made of success
I've got what it takes
I've got what it takes
To rest
To rest
To rest
But I'm still around
Looking across the faces I've know
I can see
Nothing
Looking out across my family members
I know they miss me
I know they must miss me
Never had a lot of fun
Better things to do around the house
Never had a lot of fun
Better things to do without
Lying for, me
So I won't hear a thing
To bat me back
So I'll notice some grave thing
I'm not made of successful things

The xx - Heart Skipped A Beat

Please don't say we're done
When I'm not finished
I could give so much more
Make you feel, like never before
Welcome, they said welcome to the floor

It's been a while
And you've found someone better
But I've been waiting too long to give this up
The more I see, I understand
But sometimes, I still need you

Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you

And I was struggling to get in
Left waiting outside your door
I was sure
You'd give me more

No need to come to me
When I can make it all the way to you
You made it clear
You weren't near
Near enough for me

Heart skipped a beat
And when I caught it you were out of reach
But I'm sure, I'm sure
You've heard it before
You've heard it before
You've heard it before
You've heard it before

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - The Curse of Millhaven

I live in a town called Millhaven
And it’s small and it’s mean and it’s cold
But if you come around just as the sun goes down
You can watch the whole town turn to gold
It’s around about then that I used to go a-roaming
Singing La la la la La la la lie
All God’s children they all gotta die

My name is Loretta but I prefer Lottie
I’m closing in on my fifteenth year
And if you think you have seen a pair of eyes more green
Then you sure didn’t see them round here
My hair is yellow and I’m always a-combing
La la la la La la la lie
Mama often told me we all have to die

You must have heard about The Curse Of Millhaven
How last Christmas Bill Blake’s little boy didn’t come home
They found him next week in One Mile Creek
His head bashed in and his pockets full of stones
Well, just imagine the wailing and moaning
La la la la La la la lie
Even little Billy Blake, he had to die

Then Professor O’Rye from Millhaven High
Found nailed to his door, his prize-winning terrier
The next day the old fool brought little Biko to school
And we all had to watch as he buried her
His eulogy to Biko had all the tears a-flowing
La la la la La la la lie
Even God’s little creatures, they have to die

Our little town fell into a state of shock
A lot of people were saying things that made little sense
Then the next thing you know the head of Handyman Joe
Was found in the fountain of the Mayor’s residence
Foul play can really get a small town going
La la la la La la la lie
All God’s children all have to die

Then, in a cruel twist of fate, old Mrs Colgate
Was stabbed but the job was not complete
The last thing she said before the cops pronounced her dead
Was, “My killer is Loretta and she lives across the street!”
Twenty cops burst through my door without even phoning
La la la la La la la lie
The young ones, the old ones, they all gotta die

Yes, it is I, Lottie. The curse of Millhaven
I’ve struck horror in the heart of this town
Like my eyes ain’t green and my hair ain’t yellow
It’s more like the other way around
I gotta pretty little mouth underneath all the foaming
La la la la La la la lie
Sooner or later we all gotta die

Since I was no bigger than a weavil they’ve been saying I was evil That if “bad” was a boot then I’d fit it That I’m a wicked young lady, but I’ve been trying hard lately O fuck it! I’m a monster! I admit it! It makes me so mad my blood really starts a-going La la la la La la la lie Mama always told me that we all gotta die

Yeah, I drowned the Blakey kid, stabbed Mrs. Colgate, I admit Did the handyman with his circular saw in his garden shed But I never crucified little Biko, that was two junior high school psychos Stinky Bohoon and his friend with the pumpkin-sized head I’ll sing to the lot, now you got me going La la la la La la la lie All God’s children have all gotta die

There were all of the others, all our sisters and brothers
You assumed were accidents, best forgotten
Recall the children who broke through the ice on Lake Tahoo?
Everyone assumed the “Warning” signs had followed them to the bottom
Well, they’re underneath the house where I do quite a bit of stowing
La la la la La la la lie
Even twenty little children, they had to die

And the fire of ‘91 that razed the Bella Vista slum
There was the biggest shit-fight this country’s ever seen
Insurance companies ruined, land lords getting sued
All cause of a wee little girl with a can of gasoline
Those flames really roared when the wind started blowing
La la la la La la la lie
Rich man, poor man, all got to die

Well I confessed to all these crimes and then they put me on trial
I was laughing when they took me away
Off to the asylum in an old black Mariah
It ain’t home, but you know, it’s fucking better than jail
It ain’t such a bad old place to have a home in
La la la la La la la lie
All God’s children they all gotta die

Now I got shrinks that will not rest with their endless Rorschach tests
I keep telling them they’re out to get me
They ask me if I feel remorse and I answer, “Why of course!
There is so much more I could have done if they’d let me!”
So it’s Rorschach and Prozac and everything is groovy
Singing La la la la La la la lie
All God’s children have all gotta die
La la la la La la la lie
I’m happy as a lark and everything is fine
Singing La la la la La la la lie
Yeah, everything is groovy and everything is fine
Singing La la la la La la la lie
All God’s children they all gotta die

Smashing Pumpkins - Pissant

Got me a ray gun
Got me an altitude
Can't help feeling something's wrong
With everyone of you

Inside your head
Trust me instead
Inside your head

Talk revolution
As if it matters now
I don't care anyway
Just give me what I want

Inside your head
Trust me instead
Inside your head

Ooh, honey
Fill me with your little whispers
Stories and your nightmares
Of a generation sent to burn

Come on honey
Let's go for a ride
Down where the crickets learn to sing and play, baby

Inside your head
Trust me instead
Inside your head
Trust me instead
Inside your head
Trust me instead
Inside your head

Yeah, it's a motherfucker,

(WOO!)

The Mission - Blood Brother [Live at Astoria 1988]

I gave you flowers and you gave me faith
We are minds and hearts that move as one
Chameleon, warrior, gypsy and brave
We turn our eyes to the heart of the rising sun

You and me, we are blood brothers
You and me, we are blood brothers
Blood brother
Lay down your life for me
Lay down your love for me

Kiss by kiss, touch by touch
We tore the clouds apart
You took my hand and walked me through the rain
An act of love, mission of tender mercy
We stood tall and proud together, we conquered again

You and me, we are blood brothers
You and me, we are blood brothers
Blood brother
Lay down your life for me
Lay down your love for me

We pulled no punch and we gave them hell
The feelings cry in the shameful dell
Mountains of sand and seas and land, we move winds to calm
And we rose again to win the war
To rule and reign, our hearts to soar
Heads held high, stars in the sky and we kissed
The ever-faithful moon

Father, you’re a good man, an honest man, a saint amongst men
And mother, I wish I could tell you I love you
Sister, you’re a goddess and I want you to take me to heaven
Blood brother, your hand on my heart and your innocence laid bare and bleeding

You and me, we are blood brothers
You and me, we are blood brothers
Blood brother
Lay down your life for me
Blood brother
Lay down your love for me

Lay down your life for me
Blood brother
Lay down your love for me
Blood brother

Lay down your life for me
Blood brother
Blood brother
Blood brother
Lay down your love
For me
Blood brother!

Blood brother
Lay down your love
For me...

God, I feel so strong but I just want to break down and cry
God, I feel so strong but I just want to break down and cry
God, I feel so strong but I just want to break down and cry
God, I feel so strong but I just want to break down and cry
God, I feel so strong but I just want to break down and cry
God, I feel so strong but I just want to break down and cry

The Cure -Trap

Drowning like a fly in my drink
You drone about being on the brink
But I really don’t care what you think
Oh I’m sick of it all
Sick of it all
I hate the way it’s always the same
Hate recrimination and blame
And you just wait for me to fuck up again
Oh I’m sick of it all
Sick of it all

The ways you try and put me down
Sweet revenge for the things I’ve done
The ways you try and twist me around
„Give me a taste of my own medicine“

Drowning like a fly in my drink
You whine about being out of synch
But I really don’t care what you think
Oh I’m sick of it all
Sick of it all

I hate the way you want me to be
Hate regret and humility
And you just wait for me to fall at your feet
Oh I’m sick of it all
Sick of it all

The ways you try and run me down
Make me pay for the things I’ve been
The ways you try and push me around
All you want to do is win

Any love you once felt for me
Has turned into this travesty
Of selfishness and jealousy
So why can’t you just let me go?
Any love you once felt for me
Has turned into this travesty
Of selfishness and jealousy
So why can’t I just let you go?

PJ Harvey - The Darker Days Of Me & Him

Promises, promises
I’m feeling burned
You taught me a lesson
I didn’t want to learn

Why did I come here?
Please tell me again
Why did you ask me?
Don’t say you forget

I long for, I long for
I long for my home
I long for a land where
No man was known

With no neurosis
No psychosis
No psychoanalysis
And no sadness

I’ll pick up the pieces
I’ll carry on somehow
Tape the broken parts together
And limp this love around

U2 - 'Baby' So Cruel

We crossed the line
Who pushed who over
It doesn’t matter to you
I know it matters to me

We’re cut adrift
Still floating
I know there’s seven
Leaving sides on your floor
But I need some more

I disappeared in you
You disappeared in me
What you can’t find in anyone else
You won’t find in me

Heard you made a breakthrough
With your best friend
Said he’d love you
‘Til the party’s end

I’m so happy
I could nearly attend
But I’m busy
Nothing’s changed

Oh-ha-ah-mm love
To turn from you I’d be a fool
Oh-ah-ah-ha-ha…sweetheart
You’re so cruel

Your heart is racing and I can’t keep up
The night is bleeding like a cut
Between the horses of love and lust
We are trampled

Ride while there’s still ink
Left in the night
Ride ‘til the morning bleeds
Brand new light
Well there’s summer love
In your hand
And a brand in your head

Oh-ah-ah-hoo-ha
Oh love and amber
Oh-ah-ah-ha-ha… I know
Oh, you’re so cruel

This is you’re the woman’s game
Where the woman says her part
And the feeling that spreads

Oh love, love, love, love, love, love

The ones who love you, you hate the most
Your spirit leaves behind a ghost
They can’t have you
‘Cause you’re not there

Your heart is racing and I can’t keep up
The night is bleeding like a cut
Between the horses of love and lust
We are trampled…underfoot

Oh-ha-ah-mm love
You say in love there are no rules
Oh-ha-ah-mm love
Sweetheart
You’re so cruel

Oh-ha-ah-mm love
To stay with you I’d be a fool
Oh-oh-oh-ha-ha…
Sweetheart
You’re so cruel

Anna Calvi - Love Won't Be Leaving

I hope this letter finds you well
Been in the desert for so long
Sometimes I see faces
Comin' out of the dark

But love won't be leaving
It won't be gone until I find a way
No, love won't be leaving
It won't be gone until I find a way

I draw my name in the sand
In the hope it'll find you

Because love won't be leaving
It won't be gone until I find a way

My desire is so strong
My desire is so strong
Sometimes I see faces
When I'm so alone

I draw my name in the sand
In the hope it'll find you
I draw my name in the sand
In the hope it'll find you

Because love won't be leaving
It won't be gone until I find a way
No, love won't be leaving
It won't be gone until I find a way

And I draw my name in the sand
In the hope it'll find you
Oh, I draw my name in the sand
In the hope it'll find you

Because love won't be leaving
It won't be gone until I find a way
No, love won't be leaving
It won't be gone until I find a way

Love won't be leaving
It won't be gone until I find a way
Oh, love won't be leaving
It won't be gone until I find a way

The Cure - Warsong

Oh, it's misery the way we fight
For bitter ends we tear the night in two
I want your death, you want my life
We tell each other lies to hide the truth
And we hate ourselves for everything we do
It’s shame wounded pride, vengeful anger burning deep inside
Poison in our blood and pain, broken dreams, mournful hopes
For all we might have been, all misunderstood

But no way out of this
No way for us to find a way to peace
We never found before
However we regret
All we will ever know
Is bitter ends
For we are born to war
(For we are born to war)

However we regret
All we will ever know
Is bitter ends
For we are born to war

Kings Of Leon - When You See Yourself, Are You Far Away

This space in time, this bated breath
I've seen your kind at your very best
This long goodbye is overdue
You never came, when I called on you

The bastard wind is on your back
The rabid dog has caught your track
The golden age of old advice
Don't give no cause or alibi

One more night, one more night will you stay here
One more night, one more night we'll be safe dear
One more night, one more night
One more night, one more night will you stay here
One more night will you stay here

We've crystalized, it's dawned on you
You have the face of someone new
The pleasures of this life I'm told
Will spit you out in the middle of the road
A scenic place the sky grows cold

One more night, one more night will you stay here
One more night, one more night we'll be safe dear
One more night, one more night
One more night, one more night will you stay here
One more night will you stay here

One more night, one more night will you stay here
One more night, one more night will you stay here
One more night will you stay here

Ooh
When you see yourself, are you far away?
Is it night or day?
Ooh
When it comes to you if you reach the moon
Can I be there too?
Ooh
When you see yourself, are you far away?
Is it night or day?
Ooh
When it comes to you, if you reach the moon
Can I be there too?

Eddie Vedder - Satellite

It's no shame that
Love's a game that
I can only play with you
what I'm saying
is I'm here waiting for you

I've seen the light
I'm satisfied that
the brightest star that's you
Satellite I'm holding tight
Beaming back to you

Days turn into
Night turns into
Days turn into today
Don't think I'm out playin
cause I'm inside waiting for you

I've felt the light
I'm satisfied that
the highest high is you
Satellite I'm holding tight
Beaming back to you

Don't you worry
I believe your story
You were put away
for something you didn't do
But I'm waiting
I've been saving my love...

dEUS - The Vanishing Of Maria Schneider

Your time
Not seen it passing
Your beauty no
Not seen it go
A moment
Made out of moments
Made out of gold
And your silver soul

And no one knows what you’ve become
You elegantly put us on
Forever and a day
Inside your fingers
My heart’s the trigger
You pull with ease
It’s my destiny

In times
That I went looking
I had no clue
Where to look for you

Cause no one knows what you’ve become
You elegantly put us on
Forever and a day

Somewhere over tired oceans
Underneath the stars
It’s time to become who you are, my love
That sad look shake it off
The road has been too long
We’re all just passengers
In time and space
An end we never chase
But fate will erased
Marvelling at
How your beauty stays

Your time
Not seen it passing
Your beauty showed
But you had to go
A moment
Made out of moments
Made out of gold
And your silver soul

And no one knows what you’ve become
You elegantly put us on
Forever and a day…

Lalalala…

Echo & The Bunnymen - Bombers Bay

The word went round in no-dream town
They shut us up and shut us down
The planes flew in and laid the ground
We built upon and spun around
God's one miracle lost in circles

On the march
Berlin to Bombers Bay
Traveling dark
On the road to Mandalay

Cannon fired, came to call
Stood us up and watched us fall
The way we were and now outworn
Our costumes changed to uniforms
Black black days here to stay

On the march
Madrid to Bombers Bay
Traveling dark
On the road to Mandalay

Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
Smile, boys, that's the style
Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
Smile

They give us hope and teach us well
With magic moons that cast a spell
And hypnotize and draw us in
I believe I'm believing
God's one miracle moves in circles

On the march
Berlin to Bombers Bay
Traveling dark
On the road

On the march
Berlin to Bombers Bay
Traveling dark
On the road to Mandalay

Black black days

Black black days
Where the flying fishes play
Black black days
Where the flying fishes play
Black black days

Muse - Cave

Leave me alone, it's nothing serious.
I'll do it myself, it's got nothing to do with you
And there's nothing you could do.

You can see it and you can almost hear it too,
You can almost taste it, it's nothing to do with you
And there's still nothing that you could do.

So come in my cave
and I'll burn your heart away.
Come in my cave,
and I'll burn your heart away.

Please close your ears and try to look away
So you'll never hear a single word I say
and don't ever come my way.

Leave me alone, it's nothing serious.
I'll do it myself, it's got nothing to do with you
And there's still nothing you could do.

So come in my cave,
and I'll burn your heart away.
Come in my cave,
and arrest me for my mistakes. Yeah.

The Mission - Dancing Barefoot

She is benediction
She is addicted to thee
She is the root connection
She is connecting with me
Here I go and I don't know why I float so ceaselessly
Could it be he's taking over me

I'm dancing barefoot heading for a spin
Some strange music drags me in
Makes me come on like some heroine

She is sublimation
She is the essence of thee
She is concentrating on
He, chosen but she
Here I go and I don't know why I spin so ceaselessly
Could it be he's taking over me

I'm dancing barefoot heading for a spin
Some strange music drags me in
Makes me come on like some heroine

She is recreation
She, intoxicated by thee
She as the soul sensation and
He is levitating with she
Here I go and I don't know why I spin so ceaselessly
Until I lose my sense of gravity

I'm dancing barefoot heading for a spin
Some strange music drags me in
Makes me come on like some heroine

(originally recorded by Patti Smith)

A Cheap holiday in other peoples misery!

I don't wanna holiday in the sun

Sensurround sound in a two inch wall
Well I was waiting for the communist call
I didn't ask for sunshine and I got World War three

Now I got a reason and I'm still waiting
Now I got a reason,
Now I got a reason to be waiting

But now I gotta reason it's no real reason
And I'm waiting at the Berlin Wall

Gotta go over the Berlin Wall
I don't understand it....
I gotta go over the wall
I don't understand this bit at all....

Claustrophobia there's too much paranoia
There's too many closets so when will we fall
And now I gotta reason,

Gotta go over the Berlin Wall
I don't understand it....
I gotta go over the wall
I don't understand this bit at all...

Please don't be waiting for me

Skunk Anansie - We Love Your Apathy

The sweeter the taste I love it
Eaten your gutted spine
All of your thoughts I have them
Spitting them out, sublime
(Cos) I am the god of power
Political to the core
Governments roll their heads out
The beast always wants some more

I love it
He loves it
We love your apathy
We crush your
Lame spirit
We love your apathy
Love-er-ly

I have the information
(That) keeps you from knowing me
I abuse you as you watch me
And you always vote me in
The poorer you are the better
That gives me more control
C'os I am the brute that hates you
(And I'm) loving it to the bone
Why don't you wait till you bleed
Why don't you wait for the clause
And I'll, and I'll, and I'll, and I'll
And I will watch you
I'll wait for you
I'll wait, I'll wait for you

I love it
He loves it
We love your apathy
We crush your
Lame spirit
We love your apathy
Love-er-ly

The Clash - Dirty Punk

Gonna be a dirty punk
Gonna crowd your neighbourhood
To the sound of rebel funk
Turn it up loud, like it should

I could hear your mama scream
She's gonna waste herself away
When your daddy smashed that TV screen
I understood what he had to say

I'm going to get me a big, big, big, big, big car
Then I'm gonna drive, drive, drive, I'm gonna drive so far
Up your boulevard, up your boulevard
So far, up your boulevard

Gonna be a dirty punk
While my brother dresses clean
He used to be the local hunk
The girls all ride in my machine

How about the time I made them drunk
And they insult my brotherhood
I shout: "I am a dirty punk
Gonna rock your neighbourhood!"

Gonna to get a big, big, big, big, big car
Then I'm gonna drive, drive, drive, drive so far
Up your boulevard, up your boulevard
So far, up your boulevard

Gonna to get a big, big, big - go faster!
Then I'm gonna go, this ghetto blaster
Up your boulevard, up your boulevard
Go so far, up your boulevard

Gonna drive my a big, big, big, big, big car
Gonna drive, drive, drive, drive so far
Up your backyard, down the boulevard
So far, down the boulevard

This is a bad day
This is a bad day
To know
She don't know how
How to feel
This is a bad day
This is a bad day

Pixies - Into The White

And there ain't no night
Did you hear what I said?
But into white

Into the white

And there ain't no day
And there ain't no night
And there ain't no day
And there ain't no night

Into the white

Did you hear what I said?
Deeper than your sleepy head
Ain't nothing to see
Ain't nothing in sight

Into the white

Go and you'll go real far
Just past the big quasar
Can't hitch a meteorite

Into the white

The Breeders - Walk It Off

No pursuits in the dusk
And no amusements in the house
Waiting for mercury to fall

All game no plot
Talk it down, walk it off
Trying to get rid of the friends that I've got

Oh mercury
Oh mercury
I've been waiting for a message all night

Now the singer gets laid
And the drummer gets paid
I wait for mercury to fall
Nobody's allowed to fight
'Til the band starts playin tonight

Oh mercury, oh mercury
Oh mercury, oh mercury

Hey your mascot am I not!
Let's go work it out!
Oh mercury
I've been waiting for the message all night

No game no plot
Talk it down, walk it off
Mercury fall

Oh mercury, oh mercury
Oh mercury, oh mercury
Oh mercury, oh mercury
Is falling

Chelsea Wolfe - Appalachia

It was the way we always knew
that we never had the clue
that we never had the chance
like the others in the dance
like black diamonds, ash and light
like the mines and anthracite
split-tongued fellows, venom-survived
violence only against the vile
e'er we bleed into the wild
then laid to rest there, man or child
this shining gutter in the sun
is it worth it in the run

Radiohead - Decks Dark

Then into your life, there comes a darkness
There's a spacecraft blocking out the sky
And there's nowhere to hide
You run to the back, and you cover your ears
But it's the loudest sound, you've ever heard
And all we trapped, ragdoll cloth people
We are helpless to resist
Into our darkest hour

But it was just a laugh, just a laugh, just a laugh, just a laugh
Even at this angle, and so we crumble
A ten ton head made of wet sand, oh, this dread circumference
You've gotta be kidding me, the grass grows over me
Your face in the glass, in the glass, it was just a laugh, just a laugh
It's whatever you say it is, in split infinities

Then into your life, there comes a darkness
And a spacecraft blocking out the sky
And there's nowhere to hide
You run to the back and you cover your ears
But it's the loudest sound you've ever heard
Into your darkest hour

When you've had enough of me
When you've had enough of me
Sweet darling
When you've had enough of me
When you've had enough of me
Sweet darling
Sweet times
Sweet darling
Sweet times

Nirvana - Territorial Pissings

Come on, people, now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now

When I was an alien
Cultures weren't opinions

Gotta find a way, find a way, when I'm there
Gotta find a way, a better way, I'd better wait

Never met a wise man
If so, it's a woman

Gotta find a way, find a way, when I'm there
Gotta find a way, a better way, I'd better wait
Gotta find a way, find a way, when I'm there
Gotta find a way, a better way, I'd better wait!

Just because you're paranoid
Don't mean they're not after you

Gotta find a way, find a way, when I'm there
Gotta find a way, a better way, I'd better wait
Gotta find a way, find a way, when I'm there
Gotta find a way, a better way, I'd better wait!

Gotta find a way, find a way, when I'm there
Gotta find a way, a better way, I'd better wait!
Gotta find a way, find a way, when I'm there!
Gotta find a way! Aah! Aah!
Yeah!

The Clash - The Card Cheat

There's a solitary man crying, hold me
It's only because he's a-lonely
If the keeper of time runs slowly
He won't be alive for long!

If he only had time to tell of all of the things he planned
With a card up his sleeve, what would he achieve?
It means nothing!

To the opium den and the barroom gin
In the Belmont chair playing violins
The gambler's face cracks into a grin
As he lays down the king of spades

But the dealer just stares
There's something wrong here, he thinks
The gambler is seized and forced to his knees
And shot dead

He only wanted more time
Away from the darkest door
But his luck it gave in
As the dawn light crept in
And he lay on the floor

From the Hundred Year War to the Crimea
With a lance and a musket and a Roman spear
To all of the men who have stood with no fear
In the service of the King

Before you met your fate be sure you
Did not forsake your lover
May not be around anymore

There's a solitary man crying, hold me
It's only because he's a-lonely
If the keeper of time runs slowly
He won't be alive for long!

R.E.M. - What's The Frequency, Kenneth?

"What's the frequency, Kenneth?" is your Benzedrine, uh-huh
I was brain-dead, locked out, numb, not up to speed
I thought I'd pegged you an idiot's dream
Tunnel vision from the outsider's screen
I never understood the frequency, uh-huh
You wore our expectations like an armored suit, uh-huh

I'd studied your cartoons, radio, music, tv, movies, magazines
Richard said, "Withdrawal in disgust is not the same as apathy"
A smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth
You said that irony was the shackles of youth
You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh
I never understood the frequency, uh-huh

"What's the frequency, Kenneth?" is your Benzedrine, uh-huh
Butterfly decal, rearview mirror, dogging the scene
You smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth
You said that irony was the shackles of youth
You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh
I never understood the frequency, uh-huh
You wore our expectations like an armored suit, uh-huh
I couldn't understand
You said that irony was the shackles of youth, uh-huh
I couldn't understand
You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh
I couldn't understand
I never understood, don't fuck with me, uh-huh

Turns a coward to a priest
Makes a superman of you

With the S on your chest
You're feeling like a god
An order of animal
We try to find a ride

Superhero, sensei, Nero, smiling, hiding, riding, flying, sumo, charring, falling, burning

Leader of men

Get back in your cage
Ain't no grave gonna' hold this body down
The sunrise is here to save us now
All myths are erased
Storybook ends
Sweet memories
Wash it away

Depeche Mode - Something To Do

My little girl
Won't you come with me
Come with me
Tell me

Is there something to do

I'm going crazy with boredom
Come with me
Tell me

Grey sky over a black town
I can feel depression
All around
You've got your leather boots on

I can't stand another drink
It's surprising this town
Doesn't sink
You've got your leather boots on

Your pretty dress is oil stained
From working too hard
For too little
You've got your leather boots on

You're feeling the boredom too
I'd gladly go with you
I'd put your leather boots on
I'd put your pretty dress on

Ramones - Little Bit O' Soul

Now when you're feelin' low
And the fish won't bite
You need a little bit o' soul
To put you right
You gotta make like you
Wanna kneel and pray
And then a little bit o' soul
Will come your way

Now when your girl has gone
And you're broke in two
You need a little bit o' soul
To see you through
And when you raise the roof
With you rock and roll
You'll get a lot more kicks
With a little bit o' soul

And if your party falls
'Cause there's nobody groovin'
A little bit o' soul and
It really starts movin', yeah!

Now when you're in a mess
And you feel like cryin'
Just remember this little
Song of mine
And as you walk through life
Tryin' to reach your goal
Remember what I say 'bout
A little bit o' soul

And if your party falls
'Cause there's nobody groovin'
A little bit o' soul and
It really starts movin', yeah!
A little bit o' soul
A little bit o' soul
A little bit o' soul

(originally recorded by The Little Darlings)

Placebo - My Sweet Prince

Never thought you'd make me perspire
Never thought I'd do you the same
Never thought I'd fill with desire
Never thought I'd feel so ashamed

Me and the dragon
Can chase all the pain away
So before I end my day
Remember
My sweet prince
You are the one
My sweet prince
You are the one

Never thought I'd have to retire
Never thought I'd have to abstain
Never thought all this could backfire
Close up the hole in my vein

Me and my valuable friend
Can fix all the pain away
So before I end my day
Remember
My sweet prince
You are the one
My sweet prince
You are the one

You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one

Never thought I'd get any higher
Never thought you'd fuck with my brain
Never thought all this could expire
Never thought you'd go break the chain

Me and you, baby
Used to flush all the pain away
So before I end my day
Remember
My sweet prince
You are the one
My sweet prince
You are the one

You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one

My sweet prince
My sweet prince

Siouxsie And The Banshees - Ornaments Of Gold

Silver couches to recline upon
And ornaments of gold
Silver moonbeams dance in fountains
Below shining citadels
Surrounded by silver gates ascending silver stairs
Eureka on angelic prayer wafts in and scents the air
With ornaments of gold
To warm my soul from the growing cold
Ornaments of gold

We can drink from silver vessels
We can feed from silver bowls
Then I'll give you gilded treasures
Annointed by intoxicating oils
Drenched in riches unimaginable
Your splendour drips with jewels that are so beautiful

And ornaments of gold
Warm my soul from the growing cold

Adorable rewardable you
From head to toe I'd love to cover you
And smother you in ornaments of gold

In honeydew I'd love to cover you
Oh lover do bring

Ornaments of gold
Protect our hearts from this cruel world
Ornaments of gold

Megadeth - I'll Get Even

I'm lonely and abandoned
Washed up, left for dead
I'm lost inside the desert
Of every word you said

Like a nuclear reactor
Or TNT
I'm thinking about the times
When you lied to me

All the innuendo
Caught up on your hook
I was just a name
In your little black book

Ah, I'll get even with you

I'm bitter and I'm twisted
I haven't slept in days
I'm lonely and I'm angry
I can't make it go away

I'm like a bomb that's ticking
I got voices in my head
I got a doll with needles in
Wishing you were dead

I'll get you back somehow
That's what I'm gonna do
I'll get you back somehow
Your nightmare coming true

Ah, I'll get even with you
Ah, that's what I'm gonna do
Gonna get even with you

You better look behind you
'Cause there I'm gonna be
I'll be standing in the shadows
With who I used to be

He's slightly schizophrenic
Me and me and me and me agree
That you are gonna pay
For what you did to me

Ah, I'll get even with you
Gonna get even with you
Ah, that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna do
Ah, I'll get even with you

The Reindeer Section - You Are My Joy

I won't leave you out of my will
But I will leave you out of my mind
For now
I won't be there to break your sweet heart
But not being there might break your sweet heart

You are my joy, you are my joy
You are my joy, you are my joy
You are my joy, you are my joy
You are my joy, you are my joy

If I could cradle you into my arms
I would cradle you tight in my arms
Always
So don't be scared of all the hurtful words
'Cause in the end, they'll hurt themselves much more

You are my joy, you are my joy
You are my joy, you are my joy
You are my joy, you are my joy
You are my joy, you are my joy

You are my joy, you are my joy
You are my joy, you are my joy
You are my joy, you are my joy
You are my joy, you are my joy
You are my joy, you are my joy
You are my joy, you are my joy
You are my joy, you are my joy
You are my joy, you are my joy
