The Clash - Rock The Casbah

Now the king told the boogie men

You have to let that raga drop

The oil down the desert way

Has been shakin' to the top

The sheik he drove his Cadillac

He went a' cruisin' down the ville

The muezzin was a' standing

On the radiator grille

The shareef don't like it

Rock the Casbah

Rock the Casbah

The shareef don't like it

Rock the Casbah

Rock the Casbah

By order of the prophet

We ban that boogie sound

Degenerate the faithful

With that crazy Casbah sound

But the Bedouin they brought out

The electric camel drum

The local guitar picker

Got his guitar picking thumb

As soon as the shareef

Had cleared the square

They began to wail

The shareef don't like it

Rock the Casbah

Rock the Casbah

The shareef don't like it

Rock the Casbah

Rock the Casbah

Now over at the temple

Oh! They really pack 'em in

The in crowd say it's cool

To dig this chanting thing

But as the wind changed direction

And the temple band took five

The crowd caught a whiff

Of that crazy Casbah jive

The shareef don't like it

Rock the Casbah

Rock the Casbah

The shareef don't like it

Rock the Casbah

Rock the Casbah

The king called up his jet fighters

He said you better earn your pay

Drop your bombs between the minarets

Down the Casbah way

As soon as the shareef was

Chauffeured outta there

The jet pilots tuned to

The cockpit radio blare

As soon as the shareef was

Outta their hair

The jet pilots wailed

The shareef don't like it

Rock the Casbah

Rock the Casbah

The shareef don't like it

Rock the Casbah

Rock the Casbah

He thinks it's not kosher

Fundamentally he can't take it.

You know he really hates it.

The then shallow she Earth as we know it The then halo she A sky for the sacred Stars in my eyes Stars at my feet Womb in the belly Capital place

The Sound - The Fire

Fell into the fire

Fell into the fire

I was led by the heart

Led by the heart

Drawn towards the heat

Drawn towards the heat

Too fierce to contain

Too fierce to contain

I'm a willing victim of circumstance

I'm a willing victim of circumstance

I can't change a thing

I can't take the chance

I can't change a thing

I can't take the chance

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Fell into the fire

Fell into the fire

I was led by the heart

Led by the heart

Drawn towards the heat

Drawn towards the heat

Too fierce to contain

Too fierce to contain

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Siouxsie And The Banshees - Mirage

I'm just a vision on your TV screen

Just something conjured from a dream

Seen thro' your x-ray eyes,

A see-thro' scene

The image is no images

It's not what it seems.

My limbs are like palm trees

Swaying in no breeze

My body's an oasis

To drink from as you please

I'm not seeing what I'm meant to believe in

Your non excuse for human being.

It's not plain to see

That I'm playing with me

A photo-fit of loose ends, framed in 3-D

Seen thro' your x-ray eyes,

A see-thro' scene

The image is no images

It's not what it seems

Pearl Jam - Love Boat Captain

Is this just another day,... this god forgotten place?

First comes love, then comes pain. Let the games begin,...

Questions rise and answers fall,... insurmountable.

Love boat captain

Take the reigns and steer us towards the clear,... here.

It's already been sung, but it can't be said enough.

All you need is love

Is this just another phase? Earthquakes making waves,...

Trying to shake the cancer off? Stupid human beings,...

Once you hold the hand of love,.. it's all surmountable.

Hold me, and make it the truth,...

That when all is lost there will be you,...

Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing

And there's just one word I stil believe

And it's

It's an art to live with pain,... mix the light into grey,..

Lost 9 friends we'll never know,.. 2 years ago today

And if our lives became too long, would it add to our regret?

And the young, they can lose hope cause they can't see beyond today,...

The wisdom that the old can't give away

Hey,...

Constant recoil...

Sometimes life

Don't leave you alone.

Hold me, and make it the truth,...

That when all is lost there will be you.

Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing

And there's just one word that I still believe and it's

Love,... love. love. love. love.

Love boat captain

Take the reins,.. steer us towards the clear.

I know it's already been sung,... can't be said enough.

Love is all you need,.. all you need is love,..

Love,.. love,...

Love.

Metallica - The End Of The Line

Need... more and more

Tainted misery 

Bleed... battle scars

Chemical affinity

Reign... legacy

Innocence corrode

Stain... rot away

Catatonic overload

Choke... asphyxia

Snuff reality

Scorch... kill the light

Incinerate celebrity

Reaper... butchery

Karma amputee

Bloodline... redefine

Death contagious deity

Hooked into this deceiver

Need more and more

Into the endless fever

Need more and more

New consequence machine

You burn through all your gasoline

Asylum overtime

Nevermind...

You've reached the end of the line

Time... Choke the clock

Steal another day

Die... Faithfully

Narcissistic fade away

Twisted... Jump the rail

Shatter the crowd below

Breaker... Chase the ghost

From latest high to all-time low

Hooked into this deceiver

Need more and more

Into the endless fever

Need more and more

New consequence machine

Burn through all your gasoline

Asylum overtime

Nevermind...

You've reached the end of the line

Drop the hourglass of time

Spilling sand we will not find

As we gather here today 

We bid farewell... 

The slave becomes the master

The slave becomes the master

The slave becomes the master

The slave becomes the master

Need more and more

Right now and ever after

Need more and more

New consequence machine

Burn through all your gasoline

Asylum overtime

Nevermind...

Dead hourglass of time

Sand we will not ever find

We gather here today 

Say goodbye 

Cause you've reached the end of the line

The end of the line

The end of the line

The end of the line

You've reached the end of the line

The Gathering - Adrenaline

What makes you forget is the structure

You're in, all your life

Can't you feel there is the animal inside

Growing roots, still, inside your mind

Suppress your underbeing and let them rule

You don't care, yeah you don't give a damn

As long as you've got your car

Do you actually go so far, as giving in your

Adrenaline away

Anna von Hausswolff - Liturgy Of Light

Liturgy of light, I am going backwards
To be more precise: are we still here?
History of shame, I will not spell it
Liturgy of light, it's fading out

Well it's a hard life that we share
It's a hard life for us young ones
It's written all around

Some of it is true, but we can't see it
The news are full of faults, where's all the hope?
All together now: can we recite it?
Say liturgy of light, it's fading out

Well it's a hard life that we share
It's a hard life for us young ones
And it's a long road that we share
It's a long road for us young ones
It's written all around, all around
It's written all around, all around

The Kills - Sugar Baby

Got no sugar baby now

It's all I can do, to seek peace with you

And I can't get along this a way

No, I can't get along this a way

All I can do, all I can say

Gonna send it to your mama next pay day

I'll send it to your mama next pay day

Who'll rock the cradle, who'll sing the song

Who'll rock the cradle when I'm gone?

Who'll rock the cradle when I'm gone?

I'll rock the cradle, I'll sing the song

I'll rock the cradle when you're gone

I'll rock the cradle when you're gone

Got no honey baby now

I got no honey baby now

I got no sugar baby now

So, all I can say, all I can do

And I can't make a living with you

No, I can't make a living with you

Iron Maiden - Empire Of The Clouds

To ride the storm, to an empire of the clouds

To ride the storm, they climbed aboard their silver ghost

To ride the storm, to a kingdom that will come

To ride the storm, and damn the rest, oblivion

Royalty and dignitaries, brandy and cigars

Gray Lady, giant of the skies, you hold them in your arms

"The millionth chance," they laughed, "to take down His Majesty's craft."

"To India," they say, "magic carpet float away," an October fateful day

Mist is in the trees, stone sweats with the dew

The morning sunrise, red before the blue

Hanging at the mast, waiting for command

His majesty's airship, the R101

She's the biggest vessel built by man, a giant of the skies

For all you unbelievers, the Titanic fits inside

Drum roll tight, her canvas skin, silvered in the sun

Never tested with the fury, with a beating yet to come

The fury yet to come….

In the gathering gloom, the storm rising in the West

The Coxswain stared into the plunging weather glass

We must go now, we must take our chance with fate

We must go now, for a politician, he can't be late

The airship crew awake for thirty hours at full stretch,

But the ship is in their backbone, every sinew, every inch

She never flew at full speed, a trial never done

Her fragile outer cover, her Achilles would become

An Achilles yet to come...

Sailors of the sky, a hardened breed

Loyal to the king, and an airship creed

The engines drum, the telegraph sounds

Release the cords that bind us to the ground

Said the Coxswain, "Sir, she's heavy, she'll never make this flight."

Said the Captain, "Damn the cargo! We'll be on our way tonight."

Groundlings cheered in wonder, as she backed off from the mast

Baptizing them her water, from the ballast fore and aft

Now she slips into our past…

Fighting the wind as it rolls you,

Feeling the diesels that push you along

Watching the Channel below you,

Lower and lower, into the night

Lights are passing below you

Northern France, asleep in their beds

Storm is raging around you,

A million to one, that's what he said

Reaper standing beside her

With his scythe cuts to the bone

Panic to make a decision

Experienced men, asleep in their graves

Her cover is ripped and she's drowning

Rain is flooding into the hull

Bleeding to death and she's falling

Lifting gas is draining away

"We're down lads!" came the cry, bow plunging from the sky

Three thousand horses silent as the ship began to die

The flares to guide her path ignited at the last

The empire of the clouds, just ashes in our past

Just ashes at the last…

Here lie their dreams as I stand in the sun

On the ground where they built, and the engines did run

To the moon and the stars, now what have we done?

Oh, the dreamers may die, but the dreams live on

Dreams live on

Dreams live on

Now a shadow on a hill, the angel of the east

The empire of the clouds may rest in peace

And in a country churchyard, laid head to the mast

Eight and forty souls, who came to die in France…
