Soap&Skin - Cradlesong

I thud on a drum
Barely a span long
The rough barrel-beat
Was my cradlesong

You ask why I keep still
Why I don’t pour it out into the night
You know
You know if it rises and floats
It effaces every piece of light

Foreign what my lips say
Foreign my hair, my dress
Foreign what your eyes ask
About this strangeness

You ask why I keep still
Why I don’t pour it out into the night
You know
You know if it rises and float
It effaces every piece of light

When scream masses on wound
I want to meet you
When the great testimony
From your branches trickles down

Here my soul grows
‘Til it smashes
Above the scene, the balcony

dEUS - Roses

Rose said quote: "it's time to make a mess"
Time won't be soon mine in time I guess
She's painting on my back a beautiful flowerpot
And she treats me she treats me she treats me like her local god

Rose said quote: "it's time to make a mess"
This one's yours and yours is self obsessed
She's painting on my back a green tom, the Beefheart one
And she cuddles and she coos
and she cuts the bullshit I confessed

She said: "Don't look my way"
What can I possibly say
I've never seen you before today
I'm just the one that makes you think of the one
that makes you feel like you're the one."

But thank you for the roses for the roses
So thank you for the roses for the roses
Thank you for the roses for the roses
Thank you for the roses for the roses

Rose said quote: "it's time to make a mess"
remind me what it is that I do best
She's painting on my back some beautiful something sweet
And she treats me, she treats me, she beats me

Rose said quote: "my time has come at last"
Ugly things through my mind they have passed
She's scratching on my back 'if this boy believes me'
She leaves me, deceives me and takes those flowers just to please me...

Rose don't mind where she been
She been blind
She been mine
all this time
She been kind
She been blind
She says: "Thank you for the roses for the roses."

Just to thank you for the roses for the roses
Just to thank you for the roses for the roses
Just to thank you for the roses for the roses
Just to thank you for the roses for the roses
Just to thank you for the roses for the roses

Just to thank you...

This Mortal Coil - I Come And Stand At Every Door

I come and stand at every door
But no-one hears my silent dread
I knock and yet remain unseen
For I am dead, for I am dead

I'm only seven although I've died
In Hiroshima long ago
I'm seven now as I was then
When children die they do not grow

My hair was scorched by swirling flame
My eyes grew dim, my eyes grew blind
Death came and turned my bones to dust
And that was scattered by the wind

I need no fruit, I need no rice
I need no sweet, nor even bread
I ask for nothing for myself
For I am dead, for I am dead

All that I ask is that for peace
You fight today, you fight today
So that the children of this world
May live and grow, and laugh and play

(originally recorded by Pete Seeger)

The Cranberries - Salvation

To all those people doin' lines,
Don't do it, don't do it.
Inject your soul with liberty,
It's free, it's free.

To all the kids with heroin eyes,
Don't do it, don't do it.
Because it's not not what it seems,
No no it's not not what it seems.

Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.

Ah, ah, ah, ah

To all the parents with sleepless nights,
Sleepless nights.
Tie your kids home to their beds,
Clean their heads.

To all the kids with heroin eyes,
Don't do it, don't do it.
Because it's not not what it seems,
No no it's not not what it seems.

Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.

Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.

Violent Femmes - Jesus Walking on Water

Oh my, oh my, oh my, what if it was true?
And oh my, oh my, oh my, tell me is it true?
Did he, did he, did he die upon that cross?
And did he, did he, did he come back across?

Jesus walking on the water, Sweet Jesus walking in the sky.
Sinking sand, took my hand, raised me up, and brought me up,
So I can hold my head up high...

Will I, will I, will I be true to my birth?
And will I, will I, will I give what I'm worth?
Oh, yes, sir, yes, sir, yes, sir, I come when you call
And, yes, sir, yes, sir, yes, sir, sweet Jesus, my all-in-all.

Björk - Hyperballad

We live on a mountain
Right at the top
There's a beautiful view
From the top of the mountain
Every morning I walk towards the edge
And throw little things off
Like:
Car parts, bottles and cutlery
Or whatever I find lying around

It's become a habit
A way
To start the day

I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you

It's early morning
No one is awake
I'm back at my cliff
Still throwing things off
I listen to the sounds they make
On their way down
I follow with my eyes 'til they crash
Imagine what my body would sound like
Slamming against those rocks

When it lands
Will my eyes
Be closed or open?

I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you

L7 - Slide

I put your stuff out on the porch - lettin' you slide
You pissed in your pants and put out the torch - lettin' you slide
You splattered the bathroom with your hair dye - lettin' you slide
I'm a kickin' you out and you know why

Yeah, i been letting you slide

You put your cane into my amp - lettin' you slide
When it comes to losers, you're the champ - lettin' you slide
From my garden I pull your weed - lettin' you slide
Your stupid ego i will not feed - no

Yeah, i been letting you slide
You been along for the ride
Yeah, i been letting you slide
You've been a thorn in my side

I put your stuff out on the porch - lettin' you slide
You pissed in your pants and you put out the torch - lettin' you slide
You splattered the bathroom with your hair dye - lettin' you slide
I'm a kickin' you out and you know why.. Boy

Yeah, i been letting you slide
You been along for the ride
Yeah, i been letting you slide
You've been a thorn in my side

Took me three weeks to clean my bathroom
You know these amps don't grow on trees

Echo & The Bunnymen - All My colours

Flying
And I know I'm not coming down
You're trying
But you know you must soon go down
All my colors turn to clouds
All my colors turn to clouds

Zimbo

What d'you say
When your heart's in pieces?
How d'you play
Those cards in sequence?
That box you gave me burned nicely
That box you gave me burned nicely

Zimbo

Flying down
Flying down
All my colors turn to clouds

Hey, I've flown away
Hey, I'm blown away

MGMT - I Found a Whistle

Hey I found a whistle that hangs like a charm
And when my noose is tied I could blow it
And fall down into your arms
15 centuries of dissolution and grief
To return a yellow trickster and a thief

Yeah I found a whistle that works every time
That's when the trail escapes to nowhere
And the flood erases the crime
Such conviction
To paint all the wall with the blood
Of the young and the faithful and the good

Yeah I found a whistle as thin as a sheet
To split the dumbness of a vision
Between asleep and a sleep
Tiny axes
Repeatedly raising the flag
All ignored, real emotion's such a drag

Hey I've got a pistol that's aimed at your heart
And on dark nights when the moon is right
I could show you
The head attached with a scarf
Aerophane sorceress, at home obeying the fates
When it's gone, has it gone all the way?

This time
Found a whistle
That works every time
Yeah, I found a whistle
That works
Hangs like a charm
Yeah, found a whistle
That works every time
Yeah, I found a whistle
That works
Closes my mind every time
A whistle
I've got it,
I've got it,
This time
