Violent Femmes - 4 Seasons

How will I stand the summer when spring was such a bummer?
How will I weather my winter when my fall was such a ballbuster?
It's spring and there'll be no spring fling when my winter was what a winner.
And I am taking a fall 'cause if I ain't got you I got nothing at all.

How will I stand the summer when the spring just made me dumber?
How will I fare my fall -- will I lose my mind in the wintertime?
It's spring and I'm a spring ding-a-ling...
It's summer and I'm just a little dumber...
And I am taking a fall 'cause if I ain't got you I got nothing at all.

Through the four seasons, I'm searching for reasons.

I'm not gonna take the spring 'cause the spring don't mean a thing.
I'm not gonna take the winter 'cause my winter is a splinter.
I'm not gonna take the summer -- summer is such a bummer.
But I am taking the fall 'cause if I ain't got you I got nothing at all.

Through the four seasons, I'm searching for reasons.
Vivaldi, the four Seasons...
It seems to me to be a theme of love with no variations of aggravations.

How will I stand the summer when spring was such a bummer?
How will I fare my fall -- will I lose my mind in the wintertime?
It's spring and I'm a spring ding-a-ling...
It's summer and I'm just a little dumber...
And I am taking a fall 'cause if I ain't got you I got nothing at all.

Through the four seasons, I'm searching for reasons.

Spring, summer, winter and fall...
Spring, summer, winter and fall...
Spring, summer, winter and fall...
If I ain't got you, I got nothing at all.

Cocteau Twins - Sigh's Smell of Farewell

In all my fantasies

So many fly above my head
I sighed see angry

So many fly above his head
He says, we always have these stars
Some street they're in
My street street, now sold
My street street, now mine
Street street, now
Street street

So many fly above my sighs
He sighs, we always have these stars
Some street, my human part is
So many fly above your head
I sighed, see them, be them
He sighed, such things are human

So many fly above my head
I sense the angry part
He sighed, such things they leave their pits

Pick my feet up proudly, said he,
I have sighed, less of these
Lonesome youngest, lonely, just a plea
Pick my feet up proudly, said he,
I have sighed
I have sighed, sighed, sighed
He said, he said, he said

Faith No More - The Crab Song

"And after all the feelings go, I see I still love you so,
I just thought I'd let you know now that everything's okay,
And you are on your way back, back to where you came,"
She said with pain in her heart, it was there from the start.
Now I know why everything turns grey, but it's our own world we paint
And I want the brightest, I want flourescence every day and night
For the rest of my life, open your eyes, won't you?
Can't you see you're so beautiful to me?

Don't look back as a matter of fact there's
A ten foot Jack wants to break your back
You stole his girl, you wrecked his world
Now it's your your head that he's gonna twirl
He won't think once, he won't think twice
Cause he knows just what he's gonna do tonight
He will commit a crime, a crime of love
And he won't be happy till he sees your blood

Looking back on when you left me
Standing in the rain

Don't look back as a matter of fact there's
A son of a bitch and he's digging a ditch
For you my friend, my lucky one
So grab your things it's time to run to the other side
Where love takes pride, and your souls
The only thing that stays alive
Ma maooba goo goo ga ga
Hey! Quit talkin that terminal jive!

Looking back on when I left you...
Crying in pain

Don't look back as a matter of fact there's
A ten foot Jack wants to break your back
You stole his girl, you wrecked his world
Now it's your your head that he's gonna twirl
He won't think once, he won't think twice
Cause he knows just what he's gonna do tonight
He will commit a crime, a crime of love
And he won't be happy till he sees your bloodd

Looking back on when you left me
Standing in the rain, in-credible pain
I understand. You have to be your own person. And that's ok with me.

Hurts, hurts, hurts, like a like a motherfucher
Love. It hurts. It kills. Like a sonofabitch.
That feeling. It gets me. Down inside. Deep down there
No further. Keep going. Oh man that's right out my system

Queens Of The Stone Age - Head Like a Haunted House

Your head's like a haunted house
A tutti frutti written over the caption
Miss diagnosis a-with-a the mostest
Cue the evil smile
Desperation can lead to madness
De-de-degradation is a must
The A, B, C's of leprosy

Need a hand? Take mine
We're subleem, sublime
Fake apologize
Fucks in short supply

Too late, too slick, too young
Gag the bag reflex, spoken tongues
Séance, say what?
Say man, don't even think about it
Push the pest-aside
Xanadu's and xanadont's
Edumacate me, copulate me
A dirty trick and it's making me sick (Urgh!)

(You okay?) I'm fine
Let's go! Is my sign
We're subleem, sublime
G-g-g-goddamn crime

Tonight
I'm gonna put up a fight
I'm gonna get a reaction that I like
Burn today
I reject your displays
I demand satisfaction or the knife
To trick the light fantastic, one takes wire on the shins
Petty disguises worn like skins, a distinction, nice
Drink the kool-aid and swallow the pill
You say that you don't and you won't, but you will
Busted

Your head's like a haunted house
Peeping at your mumbo jumbo
Outta sight, going bump in the night
Suicide
With posterier so superior
Ain't in the race for second place
Circumstances in my pants
Is calling for action
Girl, I'll blow your mind
Then you will blow mine
We're subleem, sublime
Goin' for a ride

Pixies - Alec Eiffel

Pioneer of aerodynamics
(Little Eiffel, little Eiffel)
They thought he was real smart alec
(Little Eiffel, little Eiffel)
He thought big they called it a phallic
(Little Eiffel, little Eiffel)
They didn't know he was panoramic

Little Eiffel stands in the archway
(Little Eiffel, little Eiffel)
Keeping low doesn't make no sense

Sometimes people can be oh so dense
They didn't want it but he built it anyway
(Little Eiffel, little Eiffel)

Little Eiffel stands in the archway
(Little Eiffel, little Eiffel)
Keeping low don't make sense
Keeping low doesn't make no-sense
(Little Eiffel, little Eiffel)
Little Eiffel stands in the archway

Oh Alexander I see you beneath
The archway of aerodynamics
Oh Alexander I see you beneath
The archway of aerodynamics
Oh Alexander I see you beneath
The archway of aerodynamics
Oh Alexander I see you beneath
The archway of aerodynamics
Oh Alexander I see you beneath
The archway of aerodynamics
Oh Alexander I see you beneath
The archway of aerodynamics
Oh Alexander I see you beneath
The archway of aerodynamics

James - God Only Knows

You may say I am cynical, but I say man is flawed
He has a vague memory of like before some fall
Behaving like a reptile, but talks of walking tall
If God is in his image, the Almighty must be small

Swaggart has been caught with his trousers 'round his knees
After damning me and you to Hell for eternity
Sex and power and money is the prayer of these priests
They bribe their way past Heaven's gates and steal a set of keys

God only, God only, God only knows
God only, God only, God only knows
God only, God only, God only knows
God only, God only, God only knows

My Guru has been sleeping with adepts and with sheep
While I was fucking celibate, self-righteous in belief
Yesterday he was God, now he is a creep
We fell upon each other starving for belief

God only, God only, God only knows
God only, God only, God only knows
God only, God only, God only knows
God only, God only, God only knows

I speak in the name of God
I speak in the name of that White Haired
Old Man in the clouds, always a man
Dispensing lightening justice from His fingertips
Watching you every second of the day
Just waiting for you to fuck up

I speak in the name of God
I'm His intermediary
I'm a Mollah, I'm a Priest, I'm a Vicar
If you want to go to God
You have to come through me
Because my God is bigger than your God
My God is bigger than your God
My God is the only way

Is Heaven full, oh Lord, of these babbling preachers
All these self-righteous, self-appointed prophets
Because if so, I know where I'd rather be

Away from this cacophony
Away from this cacophony
Away from this cacophony
Cacophony, cacophony, cacophony
Cacophony, cacophony, cacophony

God only knows
God only knows

Violent Femmes - I Know It's True But I'm Sorry To Say

I know it's true but I'm sorry to say
Yesterday's a day away
Nothing I could do to make it stay like that
Ain't that a fact?

I know it's true but I'm sorry to say
I just can't handle things this way
I know it's late but I'd like to stay a while
See you smile

Will you meet me in the morning
With the sun fresh on the dew?
Will you meet me in the afternoon
Made just for me and you?
Will you meet me in the evening
When the nighttime starts to crawl?
Will you meet me in the hall?
Will meet me on the wall?
Will you meet me at all?

One more time, one more time
Shaking up and down my spine
Jump a rope or skip a line or two
What can I do?

One more time, one more time
Color flashing neon sign
Advertising a friend of my distraction
Latest attraction

Oh my body has been punished
Lord, I think I've had enough
Oh my body has been punished
With too much and not enough
Oh my body has been punished
And my mind can no longer bluff
My mind is so unkind
My mind is so unkind
It keeps me crying all the time

I know its true but I'm sorry to say
Yesterday's a day away

Editors - Darkness At The Door

This is our corner of the planet
It's the straight edges we inhabit
We ignore the darkness at the door
Turn the lights out if you hear me
Stop your screaming, just speak clearly
The lonely and the righteous
I just need friends and nothing more

This old town still gets out of line
Darkness at the door to greet me
This old town still gets out of line
Darkness at the door to greet me

It's the first sign of an affliction
Familiarity of an addiction
That old friend's a welcome sight
I like it when I see him
He covers up the world we live in
Lights a firework in my pocket
Some friends are worth the fight

This old town still gets out of line
Darkness at the door to greet me
This old town still gets out of line
Darkness at the door to greet me

Never lonely, never lonely, never lonely in town
Darkness at the door to greet me
Never lonely, never lonely, never lonely in town
Darkness at the door to greet me
Never lonely, never lonely, never lonely in town
Darkness at the door to greet me
Never lonely, never lonely, never lonely in town
Darkness at the door

I must manage expectations
My idols are revelations
I hope I never meet them

This is our corner of the planet
It's the straight edges we inhabit
Just friends and nothing more
Become the darkness at the door

This old town still gets out of line
Darkness at the door to greet me
This old town still gets out of line
Darkness at the door to greet me
This old town still gets out of line
(Waiting for the darkness, waiting for the darkness)
Darkness at the door to greet me
This old town still gets out of line
(Waiting for the darkness, waiting for the darkness)
Darkness at the door to greet me

Cocteau Twins - Half-Gifts

It’s an old game, my love:
When you can’t have me, you want me
Because you know that you’re not risking anything
Intimacy is when we’re in the same place
At the same time
Dealing honestly with how we feel
And who we really are
That’s what grownups do
That is mature thinking
Well I’m still a junkie for it
It takes me out of my aloneness
But this relationship cannot sustain itself
Intimacy is when we’re in the same place
At the same time
Dealing honestly with how we feel
And who we really are
That’s what grownups do
That is mature thinking
I just have to know
How to be in the process
Of creating things in a better way
And it hurts, but it’s a lie
That I can’t handle it
I still have a world of me-ness to fulfill
I still care about this planet
I am still connected to nature
And to my dreams for myself
I have my friends
My family
I have myself
I still have me
I have my friends
My family
I have myself
I still have me

The Breeders - MetaGoth

Can't come closer
Might fall and drown
Can't come closer
Might fall ninety-million miles

No one's here, no one's here to stay
No one's here, no one's here to stay
No one
No one's here, no one's here to stay
No one, no one, no one
Ninety-million miles away

I am the silence
I am the sound
I am the silver
Oh silver leaves
I am a shadow, a shadow
Ninety-million miles
