U2 - Stay (Underdog Mix)

Green light, Seven Eleven

You stop in for a pack of cigarettes

You don’t smoke, don’t even want to

Hey now, check your change

Dressed up like a car crash

Your wheels are turning but you’re upside down

You say when he hits you, you don’t mind

Because when he hurts you, you feel alive

Oh now, is that what it is?

Red light, gray morning

You stumble out of a hole in the ground

A vampire or a victim

It depends on who’s around

You’d to stay in to watch the adverts

You could lip synch to the talk shows

And if you look, you look through me

And when you talk, you talk at me

And when I touch you, you don’t feel a thing

If I could stay… then the night would give you up

Stay… and the day would keep its trust

Stay… and the night would be enough

Faraway, so close

Up with the static and the radio

With satellite television

You can go anywhere

Miami, New Orleans

London, Belfast and Berlin

And if you listen I can’t call

And if you jump, you just might fall

And if you shout, I’ll only hear you

But if you stay… then the night would break it’s trust

Stay… and the day would give you

Stay… with the spirits you found

Stay… and the night will be enough

Doo doo doo

Doo, doo doo doo

Doo, doo doo doo

Dah, dah dah dah

Dah, dah nah nah

Dah, dah nah nah

Dah, dah nah nah

Doo, doo doo doo

And if you listen I can’t call

And if you jump, you just might fall

And if you shout, I’ll only hear you

But if you stay

Then the day would give you up

Stay… with the demons you drowned

Stay… with the spirits you found

Stay… and the night will be enough

Three o’clock in the morning

It’s quiet and there’s no one around

Just the bang and the clatter

As an angel runs to ground

Just the bang

And the clatter

As an angel

Hits the ground

Anneke van Giersbergen & Agua de Annique - Wonder

Drove on by your house today

I know it's hard to stay away

It's alright, you pick a fight

But my heart is on the tray

Whatever you may think of me

You know that there'll never be

Someone who loves you more than I do

One day you will understand

You had me in the palm of your hand

And I will be gone, I leave you to wonder

I took a breath, looked at your door

The times that I've been here before

Your smiling face, your warm embrace

Those days are not here anymore

Whatever you may think of me

You know that there'll never be

Someone who loves you more than I do

One day you will understand

You had me in the palm of your hand

And I will be gone, I leave you to wonder

Drove on by, I don't know why

It's so hard to stay away

I kiss goodbye, a teary eye

It's another lonely day

The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Little Wing

Well, she's walking through the clouds

With a circus mind that's running wild

Butterflies and Zebras

And Moonbeams and fairy tales

That's all she ever thinks about

Riding with the wind

When I'm sad, she comes to me

With a thousand smiles she gives to me free

It's alright, she says it's alright

Take anything you want from me

Anything

Fly on little wing

Cat Power - Nothing Really Matters

When I see your face in the crowd

With a look of obsession

There's no subtle way to say

There's plenty of defense and discretion

Even with what's left

All the gifts put outside

It's like nothing really matters

How can other people's ways

Be an estimate of your way of life?

Can't the words, and birds, and trees, and Earth

Be the same thing, and be just as right?

It's hard, a learned test

It's so hard, a learned test

It's like nothing really matters

It's like nothing really matters

It's like nothing really matters to them

The courage to turn it around

If he could see the different way

If he could turn it on its knee and bend it down

It wouldn't really matter

But outside, a learned test

A learned test

R.E.M. - At My Most Beautiful

I’ve found a way…to make you,

I’ve found a way,

A way…to make you smile.

I read bad poetry

Into your machine.

I save your messages

Just to hear your voice.

You always listen carefully

To awkward rhymes.

You always say your name,

Like I wouldn’t know it’s you.

At your most beautiful.

I’ve found a way to make you,

I’ve found a way…

A way to make you smile.

At my most beautiful.

I count your eyelashes, secretly.

With every one, whisper, “I love you”.

I let you sleep.

I know your closed eye watching me

Listening,

I thought I saw a smile.

I’ve found a way to make you,

I’ve found a way,

A way to make you smile.

Alanis Morissette - Not All Me

I wear their face on top of my face
I am the perfect target screen
For your blindly fueled rage

I bare the brunt of your long buried pain
I don't mind helping you out
But I want you to remember my name

It's not all me
It's not all my fault
I may remind you
But I won't take it all on

Past riddled rage
I see the buttons I engage
With my dignity in place
I'm all too happy to assuage

It's not all me
It's not all my fault
I may remind you
But I won't take it all on

Lest I find my voice
Find the strength to stand up to you
Lest I stay to my limit
And take on only what is mine to

We are a team
I'm here to help mend and re-seam

The Toy Dolls - You Won't Be Merry On A North Sea Ferry

An ad on the tele put a lump in my belly

Sail with the North Sea Sail with the North Sea ferries

You'll laugh all the way with so little to pay

Sail with the North Sea Sail with the North Sea boys

The food will choke you, the staff provoke you

The captain doesn't care no

The captain doesn't care no

Ahoy! Sailings everyday, ahoy it's the only way

I feel sick I feel sick,

North Sea ferrie's done the trick

Ahoy beat the traffic jam, ahoy Hull to Rotterdam

I feel sick and my cabin's freezin' cold

Ooh I booked North Sea Ferries

What a silly boy

You won't be merry on a North Sea Ferry

Ahoy! Ahoy! Ahoy!

Get across the sea and so cheaply

Sail with the North Sea Sail with the North Sea ferries

So book a trip on a North Sea Ferry ship

Sail with the North Sea Sail with the North Sea boys

The food will choke you, the staff provoke you

The captain doesn't care no

The captain doesn't care no

Ahoy! Sailings everyday, ahoy it's the only way

I feel sick I feel sick,

North Sea ferrie's done the trick

Ahoy beat the traffic jam, ahoy Hull to Rotterdam

I feel sick and my cabin's freezin' cold

Ooh I booked North Sea Ferries

What a silly boy

You won't be merry on a North Sea Ferry

Ahoy! Ahoy! Ahoy!

Echo & The Bunnymen - Run, Run, Run [Live, 1985]

Teenage Mary said to Uncle Dave
"I sold my soul, must be saved
Gonna take a walk down to Union Square
You never know who you're gonna find there"

You gotta run, run, run, run, run
Take a drag or two
Run, run, run, run, run
Gypsy Death and you
Tell you whatcha do

Marguerita Passion had to get her fix
She wasn't well, she was getting sick
Went to sell her soul, down to Union Square
Didn't know, thinks she could buy it

And she would run, run, run, run, run
Take a drag or two
Run, run, run, run, run
Gypsy Death and you
Tell you whatcha do

Beardless Harry, what a waste
Couldn't even get a small-town taste
Rode the trolleys down to forty-seven
Figured he was good to get himself to heaven

Cause he had to run, run, run, run, run
Take a drag or two
Run, run, run, run, run
Gypsy Death and you
Tell you whatcha do

Seasick Sarah had a golden nose
Hobnail boots wrapped around her toes
When she turned blue, all the angels screamed
They didn't know they couldn't make the scene

She had to run, run, run, run, run
Take a drag or two
Run, run, run, run, run
Gypsy Death and you
Tell you whatcha do

Take me home

(originally recorded by The Velvet Underground)

James - Seven

Blow me away
Was that love you declared
Only a word
Love can mean anything

I understand the world, we're living in

Oceans apart
What's that view from your wave
Beautiful craft
Weather and change

I understand the world, we're living in
Love can mean anything

God made love to me
Soothed away my gravity
Made me a pair of angel's wings
Clear vision and some magic things

God is love to me
Thank you for those things

I understand the world, we're living in
Love can mean anything

Darling, I'm open
Unguarded, unbroken

Now we've done our time
We can drift away
Like the heavy cloud
With the weight of rain

I understand the world, we're living in
Love can mean anything

I understand the world, we're living in
Love can change anything

I understand the world, we're living in
Love can mean anything

I understand the world, we're living in
Love can change anything

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.
