U2 - Surrender

Oh, the city's alight with lovers and lies
And bright blue eyes.
Oh, the city is bright, it's brighter than day tonight.
(Surrender, surrender)
(Surrender, surrender)

Sadie said she couldn't work out what it was all about
And so she let go.
Now Sadie's on the street and the people she meets you know.

She tried to be a good girl and a good wife
Raise a good family
Lead a good life
It's not good enough
She got herself up on the 48th floor
Gotta find out
Find out what she's living for.

Oh, the city's afire
A passionate flame that knows me by name.
Oh, the city's desire to take me for more and more.
It's in the street gettin' under my feet
It's in the air, it's everywhere I look for you.
It's in the things that I do and say
And if I wanna live I gotta die to myself someday.

Editors - In This Light And On This Evening

I swear to god, I heard the earth inhale,
Moments before it spat its rain down on me.
I swear to god, in this light and on this evening,
London's become, the most beautiful thing I've seen.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Modern Romance

Don't hold on
Go get strong
Well don't you know
There is no
Modern romance

Time time is gone
It stops stops who it wants
Well I was wrong
It never lasts
And there is no
Well this is no
Modern romance

And time time is gone
It never lasts
Stops who it wants
Well I was wrong
It never lasts
This is no
There is no
Modern romance

There is no modern romance
This is no modern romance
There is no

The Breeders - Divine Hammer

I'm just looking
Just looking for a way around
It disappears this near
You're the rod, I'm water
I'm just looking for the divine hammer

One divine hammer
One divine hammer

I'm just looking for one divine hammer
I'd bang it all day
Oh, the carpenter goes bang
Bang bang
I'm just looking for one divine hammer

One divine hammer
One divine hammer

I'm just…

The Cult - Sea and Sky

The boats have sailed away
I stand here on the shore
Can't see them anymore
Can't see them anymore

Waving from afar
To the land called home
Can you come back soon?
We wish we could
We think we've gone too far
On this ship of fools
We think we've gone too far
On this ship of fools

And now I walk the shore
Searching for my soul
Born in sea and sky
I was born in sea and sky

Cast afloat the sea
Is the ship of fools
And cast afloat the sea
Is the ship of fools

Heaven's know why
They went away
They're all aboard
Except for me
Can you come back soon?

We wish we could
We think we've gone too far
On this ship of fools
On this ship of fools
On this ship of fools

And now I walk the shore
Searching for my soul
And born in sea and sky
I was born in sea and sky

In this ship of fools
In this ship of fools
Cast afloat the sea
Is this ship of fools

We think we've gone too far...

Alanis Morissette - Ironic

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic... don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well isn't this nice..."
And isn't it ironic... don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic...don't you think
A little too ironic...and, yeah, I really do think...

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out

Pearl Jam - Off He Goes

Know a man...his face seems pulled and tense...
Like he's riding on a motorbike... in the strongest winds
So I approach with tact... suggest that he should relax...
But he's always moving much too fast...

Said he'll see me on the flipside... of this trip he's taken for a ride
He's been takin'... too much on... off he goes
With his perfectly... unkept clothes... there he goes...

He's yet to come back...but I've seen his picture
Doesn't look the same up on the rack...we go way back...

I wonder bout his insides...
Its like his thoughts are too big for his size
He's been taken... where? I don't know... off he goes
With his perfectly... unkept hope... there he goes...

And now I rub my eyes... for he has returned
Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...
For he still smiles... and he's still strong
Nothing's changed, but the surrounding bullshit... that has grown

And now he's home... and we're laughing...
like we always did... my same old... same old friend

Until a quarter-to-ten... I saw the strain creep in...
He seems distracted and I know just what is gonna happen next

Before his first step... he is off again

Explosions In The Sky - Day Six

Editors - Formaldehyde

Would you butcher my love
To understand it
To know where it lies?
Cut a hole in my heart
Fill a hole in your life

I'm yours to dissect
Now does every heartbeat
Burn white heat in your blood?
Formaldehyde

The tissue and bone
And my soul has on loan
Begs to be near you
Are you listening carefully?
Then we shall begin

Now does every heartbeat
Burn white heat in your blood?
I hope it doesn't matter
I hope we swim up out of this flood

Of formaldehyde (I'll never let you go)
Formaldehyde (until the end of time)
Formaldehyde (I'll never let you go)
Formaldehyde (nothing on my mind)

Smother my love, entertain it
My mind's gonna wander
Are you listening carefully?
Then we shall begin

Of formaldehyde (I'll never let you go)
Formaldehyde (until the end of time)
Formaldehyde (I'll never let you go)
Formaldehyde (nothing on my mind)

I'm lost in a love that's a mile wide
Drowned in a bath of formaldehyde

Now does every heartbeat
Burn white heat in your blood?
I hope it doesn't matter
I hope we swim up out of this flood

Of formaldehyde (I'll never let you go)
Formaldehyde (until the end of time)
Formaldehyde (I'll never let you go)
Formaldehyde (nothing on my mind)

I'm lost in a love that's a mile wide
Drowned in a bath of formaldehyde

MGMT - Kids

You were a child
Crawling on your knees toward him
Making momma so proud
But your voice is too loud
We like to watch you laughing
Picking insects off of plants
No time to think of consequences

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted

The water is warm
But it's sending me shivers
A baby is born
Crying out for attention
Memories fade
Like looking through a fogged mirror
Decisions too
Decisions are made
Decisions are made and not bought
But I thought this wouldn't hurt a lot
I guess not

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted
