Depeche Mode - New Life

I stand still stepping on the shady streets

And I watched that man to a stranger

You think you only know me when you turn on the light

Now the room is lit, red danger

Complicating, circulating

New life, new life

Operating, generating

New life, new life

Transitions to another place

So the time will pass more slowly

Features fuse and your shadow's red

Like a film I've seen now show me

Your face is hidden and were out of sight

And the road just leads to nowhere

The stranger in the door is the same as before

So the question answers nowhere

I stand still stepping on the shady streets

And I watched that man to a stranger

You think you only know me when you turn on the light

Now the room is lit, red danger

Paradise Lost - Master Of Misrule

Wipe away the pouring rain

It’s too late to feel it again

What it takes to be born

What it takes when the last has fallen

What I see is depravity within us all

What it takes to be born

What it takes when the last has fallen

What is this, the despondency within us all

Maybe I’m already dead

Or maybe I’m still alive

Draining spirit, the soul and my body of pride

I can see through it all

It’s too late when the end is calling

Can’t relate to the stranger inside of you

Stranger inside of you

What it takes to be born

What it takes when the last has fallen

What I see is depravity within us all

There’s no sense in the truth

There’s no will when the world is falling

Hostility is aiming to demoralise

Echo & The Bunnymen - New Direction

Out on a limb

Did you see what the cat dragged in

Take it on the chin

Catching fire on a roof of tin

You've learnt to speak and you're professing

The right to teach us our direction

But I found out on close inspection

True imperfection

I'm looking for a new direction

Where in the world am I?

I took the word the word was resurrection

Then you took me out to climb

Higher and higher

Higher and higher

Higher and higher

Kissing the spires

Higher and higher

Higher and higher

Higher and higher

Souls on fire

Inside of my head

I heard what the good Lord said

"Beware" he said

If you don't you might end up dead

You suck the air right out of me

But though you suck you cannot see

That life and living is not free

Though you live you do not breathe

I'm looking for a new direction

Where in the world am I?

I took the word the word was resurrection

And then you took me out to climb

Higher and higher

Higher and higher

Higher and higher

Kissing the spires

Higher and higher

Higher and higher

Higher and higher

Souls on fire

I have changed

But still my heart

Remains intact

And true love stays

But will our hearts

Retain their lack of

No sense and no direction

Who in the world am I?

I took the word the word was resurrection

And then you took me out to climb

Higher and higher

Higher and higher

Higher and higher

Kissing the spires

Higher and higher

Higher and higher

Higher and higher

Souls on fire

Start confessing

Start confessing

All my evils would be blessed

If to God I did confess

Wipe the slate and see if I

Ate the bread and drank the wine

So as you're leaving I take possession

Just take the bottle and start confessing

Pearl Jam - Light Years

I've used hammers made out of wood

I have played games with pieces and rules..

I've deciphered tricks at the bar...

But now you're gone,... I haven't figured out why...

I've come up with riddles... and jokes about war...

I've figured out numbers and what they're for...

I've understood feelings.. and I've understood words...

But how could you be taken away?...

And wherever you've gone...and wherever we might go...

It don't seem fair...today just disappeared...

Your light's reflected now,... reflected from afar...

We were but stones,... your light made us stars

With heavy breath,... awakened regrets...

Back pages and days alone that could have been spent,

Together... but we were... miles apart

Every inch between us becomes light years now...

No time to be void,... or save up on life...

You got to spend it all.....

And wherever you've gone... and wherever we might go...

It don't seem fair...you seemed to like it here...

Your light's reflected now,... reflected from afar

We were but stones,... your light made us stars

And wherever you've gone... and wherever we might go...

It don't seem fair...today just disappeared...

Your light's reflected now,... reflected from afar...

We were but stones,... your light made us stars

Morrissey - Hairdresser On Fire

Here is London
here is London
is it home of the free,
or what?
can you squeeze me
into an empty page of your diary
and psychologically save me
I've got faith in you
I sense the power
in the fingers
within an hour the power
can totally destroy me
or it could same my life
here is London
'home of the brash, outrageous
and free'
you are repressed
but you're remarkably dressed
is it Real?
but you're far to busy
busy scissors
busy clippers
hair dresser on fire
all around Sloane Square
and you're far too busy
to see me
"busy,busy"
hairdresser on fire
was a client over-cautious
he made you nervous
and when he said
"I'm gonna sue you"
I really felt for you
so can you squeeze me
into an empty page of your diary
and supernaturally change me
CHANGE ME, CHANGE ME

Muse - Showbiz

Controlling my feelings for too long
Controlling my feelings for too long
Controlling my feelings for too long
Controlling my feelings for too long
Forcing our darkest souls to unfold
And forcing our darkest souls to unfold
Pushing us into self destruction
Pushing us into self destruction

And they make me
Make me dream your dreams
And they make me
Make me scream your screams

Trying to please you for too long
Trying to please you for too long
Visions of greed you wallow
Visions of greed you wallow
Visions of greed you wallow
Visions of greed you wallow

And they make me
Make me dream your dreams
And they make me
Make me scream your screams

Controlling my feelings for too long
Controlling my feelings for too long
And forcing our darkest souls to unfold
And forcing our darkest souls to unfold
And pushing us into self destruction
And pushing us into self destruction

And they make me
Make me dream your dreams
And they make me
Make me scream your screams

Toy Dolls - Up The Garden Path

All our mates that we once knew said they were happy

Always shouting in the street, just like you and me

Always finding laughter, fun and games to play

They of course have to agree

Suddenly they were swept off their feet and gone

They don't know what hit them

Just like the rest, the girlfriends got the best

And so the story just goes on...

They all get washed for them, even have a bath

But they are being led, up the garden path

I was sitting in the sun reading the days press

A boy that I once knew was in, I've never seen such a mess

Smiling with a moustache, a suit, a shirt and tie

He had just been wed today

I could not help but laugh, what's got into him?

He looks about forty

He's been such a nit, now he's in for it

And soon you'll hear him say...

They all get washed for them, even have a bath

But they are being led, up the garden path

I was lying on the beach licking cool ice cream

A man, a wife and a pram went by, it was like a dream

He was climbing apple trees just a moon ago

The kind of bloke you think, won't grow

His face is like a fiddle now, long and sad and blue

He still says he's happy

He must have gone mad, cos he's not the lad

That I once used to know...

They all get washed for them, even have a bath

But they are being led, up the garden path

They all get washed for them, even have a bath

But they are being led, up the garden, up the garden path

Iron Maiden - The Longest Day

In the gloom, the gathering storm abates
In the ships, gimlet eyes await
The call to arms to hammer at the gates
To blow them wide, throw evil to its fate

All summers long, the drills to build the machine
To turn men from flesh and blood to steel
From paper soldiers to bodies on the beach
From summer sands to Armageddon's reach

Overlord, your master, not your God
The enemy coast dawning grey with scud
These wretched souls, puking, shaking fear
To take a bullet for those who sent them here

The world's alight
The cliffs erupt in flame
No escape, remorseless shrapnel rains
Drowning men, no chance for a warrior's fate
A choking death, enter Hell's gates

Sliding we go
Only fear on our side
To the edge of the wire
And we rush with the tide
Oh, the water is red
With the blood of the dead
But I'm still alive
Pray to God I survive

How long, on this longest day
'Til we finally make it through?
How long, on this longest day
'Til we finally make it through?
How long, on this longest day
'Til we finally make it through?
How long, on this longest day
'Til we finally make it through?

The rising dead, faces bloated, torn
They are relieved, the living wait their turn
Your number's up, the bullet's got your name
You still go on to Hell and back again

Valhalla waits
Valkyries rise and fall
The warrior tombs lie open for us all
A ghostly hand reaches through the veil
Blood and sand, we will prevail

Sliding we go
Only fear on our side
To the edge of the wire
And we rush with the tide
Oh, the water is red
With the blood of the dead
But I'm still alive
Pray to God I survive

How long, on this longest day
'Til we finally make it through?
How long, on this longest day
'Til we finally make it through?
How long, on this longest day
'Til we finally make it through?
How long, on this longest day
'Til we finally make it through?

How long, on this longest day
'Til we finally make it through?
How long, on this longest day
'Til we finally make it through?
How long, on this longest day
'Til we finally make it through?
How long, on this longest day
'Til we finally make it through?

The Dead Weather - No Horse

I ain't got no horse

I ain't got no horizon

Just the scars on my eyes

I swear I got from crying

Where I was born it don't matter

There ain't no going back

I have no home to take you

I never dream like that

I sit and watch my cigarette smoking on itself

I sit and watch my cigarette smoking on itself

I sit and watch my cigarette smoking on itself

And I think, what the hell, hell, hell

I don't want you to like me

There's no way that you can

I don't want you to touch me, honey

I am just so mad

There ain't no kind of feeling

All my coins are flipped out

I'm just living and breathing

For what I steal formyself

I sit and watch my cigarette smoking on itself

I sit and watch my cigarette smoking on itself

I sit and watch my cigarette smoking on itself

And I think, what the hell, hell, hell

Emma Ruth Rundle - Real Big Sky

when They broke your body

They broke your mind

but with broken spirits you have always tried

I watch you sleep,I watch you fade

I will always keep the light on even though you can’t stay

and you sing to me, you say

I don’t want to be awake when It takes me

but I can’t wait to see you smile on the Other Side

I can’t wait to kiss the face of The Big Sky

won’t you stay here for a while with me, my Child

and you’re losing your vision, and you’re going blind

what starts out in the night time follows you in the morning light

I watch you sleep,I watch you fade

I will keep the light on as you change even though you can’t stay

and you sing to me, you say

I don’t want to be awake when It takes me

I won’t ever change my mind

I can’t wait to kiss the face of The Big Sky

I don’t want to say goodbye to you

My Child
