Faith No More - Spirit

She looked at me and did the bosa nova
I smiled at her and then just walked away
then the lights came on and it was over
to my surprise, she wasn't a girl at all
so I packed it up and took to a rock show...
where you can feel the pulse getting stronger
& you can only hear the beat for so long
I asked if there was any way to stop it
No, he said, just smile and act as if...
you worship the very ground on which they walk on...
no way
a temporary absence of gesture
a hidden meaning known to everyone
a slight misconception of leizure
don't see how that could hurt anyone...I know...but
spirit, excellence, further down the road,
these are the tools you'll need further down the road.
so lets pack it up and take it somewhere special...
from a quintessential, existential nightmare
to a sanctuary waiting in the sun

R.E.M. - Nightswimming

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night

The photograph on the dashboard taken years ago,
turned around backwards so the windshield shows.
Every street light reveals a picture in reverse
Still it's so much clearer

I forgot my shirt at the water's edge
The moon is low tonight

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night
I'm not sure all these people understand
It's not like years ago
The fear of getting caught
The recklessness in water
They cannot see me naked
These things they go away
Replaced by every day

Nightswimming,
remembering that night
September's coming soon
I'm pining for the moon
And what if there were two
Side by side in orbit around the fairest sun?
The bright tide forever drawn
Could not describe nightswimming

You, I thought I knew you
You, I cannot judge
You, I thought you knew me
This one laughing quietly
Underneath my breath
Nightswimming

The photograph reflects
Every street light a reminder
Nightswimming
Deserves a quiet night
Deserves a quiet night

Dead Can Dance - The Cardinal Sin

Sail to the stars on your shining desires.
"Reasons? There are none" cried the whisky laden brain.
"When all is said and done it amounts to just the same".

There in your starry eyes lie hopes that have been betrayed.

The cause of your desire
Can also lead to your demise.
When all is said and done
It will be you who pays the price
As countless fools are often loathe to testify
"It's an illusion of life, the whole cause of our demise".

Sail to the stars on your shining desires.
Lucretia waits in vain for the child of her dreams.
Within her aching womb there burns a funeral pyre.

There in your starry eyes lie hopes that have been betrayed.
The prize that you claim can never be yours to take
Like castles in Spain,hope is all that will remain.

Abstain from the fools paradise, it's an illusion of life, the whole cause of our demise.
Fools are often loathe to testify "it's an illusion of life, the whole cause of our demise".

Contemplate the world and it's traitors to the soul.
The forces of derision and their legions manifold.
Usurpers of the crown,all pretenders to the throne,
Your world is linked in chains "All in one, One in all"

Fools are often loathe to testify
It's an illusion of life
The whole cause of our demise
It's an illusion of life

Sigur Rós - Starálfur (Staring Elf)

Blá nótt yfir himininn (Blue night over the sky)
Blá nótt yfir mér (Blue night over me)
Horf-inn út um gluggann (Disappeared out the window)
Minn með hendur (My hands)
Faldar undir kinn (Hidden under my cheek)
Hugsum daginn minn (I think about my day)
Í dag og í gær (Today and yesterday)
Blá náttfötin klæða mig í (I put on my blue nighties)
Beint upp í rúm (Go straight to bed)
Breiði mjúku sængina (I caress the soft covers)
Loka augunum (Close my eyes)
Ég fel hausinn minn undir sæng (I hide my head under the covers)
Starir á mig lítill álfur (A little elf stares at me)
Hleypur að mér en hreyfist ekki (Runs towards me but doesn’t move)
Úr stað – sjálfur (From place - himself)
Starálfur (A staring elf)
Opna augun (I open my eyes)
Stírurnar úr (The crusts come off)
Teygi mig og tel (hvort ég sé ekki) (I stretch myself and check (if I haven’t))
Kominn aftur og alltalltílæ (Returned again and everything is okay)
Samt vantar eitthvað (Still there is something missing)
Eins og alla vegginna (Like all the walls)

Cocteau Twins - In Our Angelhood

He's gonna chalk you out
In his angelhood
He's got the love, let- let us
Like he said he would, like he said he would
He's gonna chalk you out
In his angelhood
Please stand alone and let us

Like he said, the angelfish
In our angelhood
Now our heart's on the edge
Like you said they would, like you said they would
We're truly angelfish
In our angelhood
Now our heart's on the edge
Like you said they would, like you said they would
Like you said they would
In our angelhood
In our angelhood
In our angelhood
Judging you, Angelhood, Judging you

Ian McCulloch - Heaven's gate

All the holes in my head are the holes I made
Deep and deeper
Holding me holding me hold
Afraid
Weak and weaker will
You deliver me?
And turn me into someone
That I want to be?

'Cos all I want to do
All I want to do
All I want to do is be a part of you

Take love as you find it
You lose your love breaking underneath the weight
Give love like you take it
You'll find your love hanging 'round Heaven's gate
Heaven's gate

I'm taking what's rightfully mine
By birth
Not giving to you my skin and what's left of my mind
Less worth
Are going with me, too
Going with me, too
They're going with me, too
Going with me, too

Take love as you find it
You lose your love breaking underneath the waves
Give love as you take it
You'll find your love hanging 'round Heaven's gate

Hanging 'round Heaven's gate
Hanging 'round Heaven's gate

Is it true what I heard you say
There's nothing going right in your world today?
The glitter and the gold never come your way
Your starbound ride is still delayed

Coming out
Spinning round
Let you in and
Let you down

Take love as you find it
You lose your love breaking underneath the weight
Give love as you take it
You'll find your love hanging 'round Heaven's gate

Hanging 'round Heaven's gate
Hanging 'round Heaven's gate

Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Child (Slight Return)

Well, I stand up next to a mountain
And I chop it down with the edge of my hand
Well, I stand up next to a mountain
Chop it down with the edge of my hand
Well, I pick up all the pieces and make an island
Might even raise just a little sand
'Cause I'm a voodoo child
Lord knows I'm a voodoo child

I didn't mean to take you up all your sweet time
I'll give it right back to you one of these days
I said, I didn't mean to take you up all your sweet time
I'll give it right back to you one of these days
And if I don't meet you no more in this world
Then I'll, I'll meet you in the next one
And don't be late, don't be late
'Cause I'm a voodoo child
Lord knows I'm a voodoo child
I'm a voodoo child

God Is An Astronaut - Forever Lost

...

Kasabian - Vlad the Impaler

Face check I walk this beach
I'm frying in the heat in the cauldron stir me
Chomp down my diamond teeth I ain't got
The simple things in life I feel like
You have got to witness
This is your last retreat
My last repeat

All my friends are as sharp as razors
cut you down if you touch the faders
High class girls hung in elevators
Now we have got the floor

Get loose get loose

You can't miss me I'm still alive
Snake skin shoes I'm pleading homicide
Come on and feel this I'm still alive
Joker meet you on the other side

Banshie I hear you call
We need to raise the dead we need to raise the people
Cut throat this blood runs thick
It is true the simple things in life have been lost
You have got to witness
We are the last beatniks
The lost heretics

All my friends are as sharp as razors
cut you down if you touch the faders
Listen up all you masqueraders
Now we have got the floor
Now we have got the floor

Get loose get loose

You can't miss me I'm still alive
Snake skin shoes I'm pleading homicide
Come on and feel this I'm still alive
Joker meet you on the other side

Fields Of The Nephilim - Psychonaut Lib. III

Pray now for how long
We're falling from ecstasy
Like changelings
Freedom returned for new souls
Here or after
Well enrapture me and i'll change
I stand alone inside you
I stand alone the skies bruised
Let it spill from my mouth
Sweet nectar for a thousand young
Are you ready for this
Here i come
Pray now for ours, pray for me
who could you love
We're falling from ecstasy
And you deserve us Leviathan
You deserve us Leviathan
What are children now, but our curses come
And glory days, our kingdom come
You look older, time stalls
Freedom sold us
Pray now for how long
Pray for me, who could you love
We're falling from ecstasy
And you deserve us Leviathan
You deserve us Leviathan
Pray for me
Let us gather hallucinations from our private minds
Let us witness the reincarnation of the Sun
Leviathan
May the mountains shake you to the core
Pray for Leviathan, Leviathan
Pray for Leviathan, Leviathan
Pray for Leviathan, Leviathan
Pray for Leviathan, hear them come
Pray now, pray now, yes I do
Pray for me, pray for me
And you deserve us...
And you deserve us...
Celebrate
When the moment's right
Only moments rise
For a lesser blessed
It's all promises
When the donors rise daughters
From their comas rise
For a lesser blessed
It seems honest here
Celebrate, give love and praise
Celebrate, for our lesser days
Obsessions in your eyes
The peril of my life
Where others fall
You came back again
With no grace in mind
See them make him blind
For a lesser God
We seem honest here
Bridge And you turn
You find new highways
And you'll turn
The lady you'll burn
This moment's
All you have it there
This moment hangs
Like your ragged hair
And you'll turn
You find new highways
And you'll turn
You find new highways
Celebrate here
Celebrate yeah, please, for all you changed me
Celebrate yeah
Celebrate yeah
Celebrate for our lesser days
