This Mortal Coil - Dreams Made Flesh

...

Linkin Park - Hands Held High

Turn my mic up louder, I got to say something
Lightweights steppin’ aside when we come in
Feel it in your chest, the syllables get pumping
People on the street then panic and start running
Words on loose leaf sheet, complete coming
I jump in my mind, I summon the rhyme I’m dumping
Healing the blind, I promise to let the sun in
Sick of the dark ways we march to the drumming
Jump when they tell us that they wanna see jumping
Fuck that, I wanna see some fists pumping
List something, take back what’s yours
Say something that you know they might attack you for
‘Cause I’m sick of being treated like I had before
Like it’s stupid standing for what I’m standing for
Like this war’s really just a different brand of war
Like it doesn’t cater to rich and abandon poor
Like they understand you, in the back of their jet
When you can’t put gas in your tank, these fuckers
Are laughing their way to the bank, and cashing their check
Asking you to have the passion and have some respect
For a leader so nervous in an obvious way
Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day
In the living room, laughing like, “What did he say?”

Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen

In my living room watching it, I am not laughing
‘Cause when it gets tense, I know what might happen
The world is cold, the bold men take action
Have to react to get blown into fractions
At 10 years old, it’s something to see
Another kid my age drugged under a Jeep
Taken and bound and found later under a tree
I wonder if he had thought ‘the next one could be me’
Do you see the soldiers that are out today?
They brush the dust from bulletproof vests away
It’s ironic, at times like this you’d pray
But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday
There’s bombs on the buses, bikes, roads
Inside your market, your shops, and your clothes
My dad, he’s got a lot of fear, I know
But enough pride inside not to let that show
My brother had a book he would hold with pride
A little red cover with a broken spine on the back
He hand-wrote a quote inside,
“When the rich wage war, it’s the poor who die”
Meanwhile, the leader just talks away
Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
The rest of the world watching at the end of the day
Both scared and angry, like “What did he say?”

Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen

With hands held high into a sky so blue
As the ocean opens up to swallow you

The Kills - Goodnight Bad Morning

The Speeds working I see it in everyone
Like a lost idea under lightbulb sun
Your eyes ready for take off melt in your hand
What a beautiful state we are in

The jailers in my mind are all dead
I love you so much, never forget
All of our secrets are coming undone
What a beautiful state we are in

Goodnight another bad morning
Goodnight another bad morning
Goodnight another bad morning
Goodnight another bad morning

Goodnight, another bad
Goodnight, another bad
Goodnight, another bad
Goodnight another bad morning

Editors - The boxer

A bruised full moon play fights with the stars,
This place is our prison, it's cells are the bars.
So take me to town, I want to dance with the city,
Show me something ugly and show me something pretty.

Damn this place, makes a boy out of me,
The ring meets my face by the count of three

An unwanted son pulls rank in the sky,
The boxer isn't finished, he's not ready to die,
I'm attracted to the light, I am attracted to the heat
It's a violent night, there are boxers in the streets.

Damn this place, makes a boy out of me,
The rain meets my face by the count of three.
Damn this place, makes a boy out of me,
The rain meets my face, I'm a fallen oak tree

Dazed in the final count,
Dazed in the final count,
Dazed in the final count,
Dazed in the final count.

dEUS - Magdalena

You drive too fast
can you please shut up
I'll call the police
if you don't stop.

You're just trying to scare me
you want me to know
that you're not this precious
little thing you hold.

You're afraid you say (and you're never sure)
of the coming day (if what you've seen before)
and I'm not that handsome (is what you'll see again)
anyway (In remembering)

But I'm feeling good
and if you don't exist
you're still one illusion
that I can't resist

Now you're holding back
and I'm holding on
Heaven knows what you want.
'Cause kicks like these
they're coming fast
but watching how long they last.

It's a funny time
to fall in love
feels like something pulled me up
to see me fall right off.
You drive too fast
but I don't care
wherever's fine
just take me there.

Now I'm holding back
and you're moving on
Heaven knows what I want
'Cause on a day like this
I'd believe anything
I don't know where to begin.

One for your coming
two for your shoes
Your buccaneer loving
and suicide moods
I wanna move
don't figure out much
into the new
[and] out of the blue, out of the darkness
out of the blue, out of the darkness
out of the blue, out of the darkness
out of the blue, out of the darkness
out of the blue, out of the darkness
out of the blue, out of the darkness

into the new, out of the blackness......

Pearl Jam - Pendulum

Can't know what's high
Til you been down so low

The future's bright
Lit up with no where to go

To and fro the pendulum throws

We are here and then we go
My shadow left me long ago

Understand what we don't know
This might pass, this might last, this may grow

Easy come easy go
Easy left me a long time ago

I'm in the fire, but I'm still cold
Nothing works, works for me anymore

To and fro the pendulum throws
To and fro the pendulum throws

To and fro
To and fro

Anneke van Giersbergen - Feel Alive

I feel your heart it beats against
The side of my face
I'm holding on the memory
Of our embrace

I see your smile and I'll never want it to fade again

You find your way trough hide-aways
In the back of your mind
Let's hope I find the energy
I'll never deny

I feel alive, you saved my heart
I lost control
I feel alive, you saved my mind
I wanted you to know

I'm holding on the fairytale
Of our embrace

I feel alive, you saved my heart
I lost control
I feel alive, you saved my mind
I wanted you to know

Placebo - Peeping Tom

I'm careful not to fall
I have to climb your wall
'Cause you're the one
Who makes me feel much taller than you are
I'm just a peeping tom
On my own for far too long
Problems with the booze
Nothing left to lose

I'm weightless... I'm bare
I'm faithless... I'm scared

The face that fills the hole
That stole my broken soul
The one that makes me seem to feel much taller than you are
I'm just a peeping tom
On my own for far too long
Troubles with the gear
Nothing left to fear

I'm weightless... I'm bare
I'm faithless... I'm scared
I'm weightless... I'm bare
I'm faithless... I'm scared

With every bet I lost
And every trick I tossed
You're still the one who makes me feel much taller than you are
I'm just a peeping tom
On my own for far too long
Problems with the booze
Nothing left to lose

I'm weightless... I'm bare
I'm faithless... I'm scared
I'm weightless... I'm bare
I'm faithless... I'm scared
I'm weightless... I'm bare
I'm faithless... I'm scared
I'm scared
I'm scared
I'm scared
I'm scared

Interpol - Pace Is The Trick

You can't hold it to tight
These matters of security
You don't have to be wound so tight
Smoking on the balcony
But it's that sleaze in a park
You women you have no self-control,
The angels remark outside
You were known for insatiable means
I don't know a thing

I've seen love, and I followed the speeding of starlight
I've seen love, and I followed the speeding of starswept night

Yeah pace is the trick

And to all the destruction in men
Well I see you as you take your pride
My lioness your defenses seem wise I cannot press
And detentions are demised, my lioness
Can't you hurt it some, think I hurt it

I've seen love, and I followed the speeding of starlight
I've seen love and I followed the speeding of starswept night

And now I select you, slow down I let you
See how I stun, see how I stun
And now I select you, slow down I let you
See how I stun, see how I stun

And to all the destruction in men
And to all the corruption in my hand
And now I select you, slow down I let you
See how I stun see how I stun
See how I stun see how I stun
See how I stun see how I stun
And now I select you, slow down I let you
I always follow the speeding of starswept night

You don't hold... candle.
You don't hold... candle.
You don't hold... candle.
You don't hold... candle

The Vaccines - No Hope

Oh, I could bore you with the truth,
about an uneventful youth,
though you could get that rap from someone else.
And I could make an observation,
if you want the voice of a generation,
but I'm too self-absorbed to give it clout.

And I, I don't really care about,
anybody else, when I haven't got my own life figured out.
Cause when you're young and bored and 24,
and don't know who you are no more.

There's no hope,
and it's time to come of age.
I think it's a problem,
Does it ever go away?
I know I am so self-obsessed, I guess,
But there's, no hope, and I hope it's just a phase.
Oh, I'll grow.

Oh, I could look for inspiration,
find it in the job of an English nation,
now wouldn't that be cheap and ill-informed.
And I could bet that you don't believe me,
if I said it came from deep within me,
But I promise you, I'm telling you the truth.

And I, I don't really care about,
anybody else, when I haven't got my own life figured out.
Cause when you're 24 and young and bored,
and don't know who you are no more.

There's no hope,
and it's time to come of age.
I think it's a problem,
Does it ever go away?
I know I am so self-obsessed, I guess,
But there's, no hope, and I hope it's just a phase.
Oh, I'll grow.

Well, I wish that I was comfortable in my own skin,
but the whole thing feels like an exercise,
and trying to be someone I would rather not be,
I tried to second guess if you would be approving.
I find my life ever so moving,
Came wide-eyed and unassuming.
Oh, Okay

There is no hope,
and there's desperately, no hope,
and there's definitely, no hope,
If you don't believe me. Oh.

And there's no hope,
and there's desperately, no hope,
and there's definitely, no hope,
If you don't believe me. Oh

But I, I don't really care about,
anybody else, when I haven't got my own life figured out.
Cause when you're 24 and young and bored,
and don't know who you are no more,

There's no hope,
and it's time to come of age.
I think it's a problem,
Does it ever go away?
I know I am so self-obsessed, I guess,
But there's, no hope, and I hope it's just a phase.
Oh, I'll grow.

There is no hope,
I know it's a problem,
and it never goes my way.
I know I am so self-obsessed, I guess,
But there's, no hope, and I hope it's just a phase.
Oh, I'll grow.
