R.E.M. feat. Patti Smith - E-Bow The Letter

Look up, what do you see?
all of you and all of me
florescent and starry
some of them, they surprise

the bus ride, I went to write this, 4:00 a.m.
this letter
fields of poppies, little pearls
all the boys and all the girls sweet-toothed
each and every one a little scary
I said your name

I wore it like a badge of teenage film stars
hash bars, cherry mash and tinfoil tiaras
dreaming of Maria Callas
whoever she is
this fame thing, I don't get it
I wrap my hand in plastic to try to look through it
Maybelline eyes and girl-as-boy moves
I can take you far
this star thing, I don't get it

I'll take you over, there
I'll take you over, there
aluminum, tastes like fear
adrenaline, it pulls us near
I'll take you over
it tastes like fear, there
I'll take you over

will you live to 83?
will you ever welcome me?
will you show me something that nobody else has seen?
smoke it, drink
here comes the flood
anything to thin the blood
these corrosives do their magic slowly and sweet
phone, eat it, drink
just another chink
cuts and dents, they catch the light
aluminum, the weakest link

I don't want to disappoint you
I'm not here to anoint you
I would lick your feet
but is that the sickest move?
I wear my own crown and sadness and sorrow
and who'd have thought tomorrow could be so strange?
my loss, and here we go again

I'll take you over, there
I'll take you over, there
aluminum, tastes like fear
adrenaline, it pulls us near
I'll take you over
it tastes like fear, there
I'll take you over

look up, what do you see?
all of you and all of me
florescent and starry
some of them, they surprise

I can't look it in the eyes
seconal, Spanish fly, absinthe, kerosene
cherry-flavored neck and collar
I can smell the sorrow on your breath
the sweat, the victory and sorrow
the smell of fear, I got it

I'll take you over, there
I'll take you over, there
aluminum, tastes like fear
adrenaline, it pulls us near
I'll take you over
it tastes like fear, there
I'll take you over

pulls us near
tastes like fear...

nearer, nearer
over, over, over, over
yeah, look over
I'll take you there, oh, yeah
I'll take you there
oh, over
I'll take you there
over, let me
I'll take you there...
there, there, baby, yeah

Jeff Buckley - Lilac Wine

I lost myself on a cool damp night

Gave myself in that misty light

Was hypnotized by a strange delight

Under a lilac tree

I made wine from the lilac tree

Put my heart in its recipe

It makes me see what I want to see

and be what I want to be

When I think more than I want to think

Do things I never should do

I drink much more that I ought to drink

Because (it) brings me back you...

Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love

Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my love

Listen to me... I cannot see clearly

Isn't that she coming to me nearly here?

Lilac wine is sweet and heady where's my love?

Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, where's my love?

Listen to me, why is everything so hazy?

Isn't that she, or am I just going crazy, dear?

Lilac Wine, I feel unready for my love...

Björk - Isobel [Deodato Mix]

In a forest pitch-dark
Glowed the tiniest spark
It burst into flame
Like me : like me

My name isobel : married to myself
My love isobel : living by herself

In a heart full of dust
Lives a creature called lust
It surprises and scares
Like me : like me

My name isobel : married to myself
My love isobel : living by herself

When she does it she means to
Moth delivers her message
Unexplained on your collar
Crawling in silence
A simple excuse

Nana na nana : nana na nana

In a tower of steel
Nature forges a deal
To raise wonderful hell
Like me : like me

My name isobel : married to myself
My love isobel : living by herself

When she does it she means to
Moth delivers her message
Unexplained on your collar
Crawling in silence
A simple excuse

Nana na nana : nana na nana
Nana na nana : nana na nana

PJ Harvey feat. Lily James - The Moth

Oh ghost moth, hear me, hear me
Oh pale moth, shield me, shield me
I hear you beating, beating
I feel you in me, in me

Beyond yourself
into the lights
Palest wings
burning bright

Oh ghost moth, hear me, hear me
Oh pale moth, shield me, shield me
I hear you beating, beating
I feel you leaving, leaving

Lose yourself
into the lights
Palest wings
wave goodbye

Nothing else but waves of love
Nothing else but waves of love
I can’t wait for night to come
Nothing else but waves of love

Toy Dolls - Tommy Kowey's Car

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

There's a motor store at the top of Hylton Road

You go there for little bits n' pieces for your car

And in the office there sits a secretary

She's got long blonde hair, Mr Tommy Kowey fancies her...

I saw her in Tommy Kowey's car

Yeah I saw her in Tommy Kowey's car

In Tommy Kowey's car

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Now at the motor store he was there last Tuesday night

With her I saw, they were kissin' at the factory door

But she still tells me, there is nothing going on

With us you see it was Tommy Kowey's wife you saw...

I saw her in Tommy Kowey's car

Yeah I saw her in Tommy Kowey's car

In Tommy Kowey's car

Now at the motor store Mr Tommy Kowey's gotta

Jag-U-Ar she's never been in it she says before

But now she tells lies, she was havin' dinner out

The other night and she went in Tommy Kowey's car...

I saw her in Tommy Kowey's car

Yeah I saw her in Tommy Kowey's car

In Tommy Kowey's car

Sharon Van Etten - Holding Out

I was warned

I your humble Alamo kind of world

Around you and all you are

I was fooled by the way you take me seriously

Even when I'm joking

Damn damn damn damn

I'm not tired and I'm tired

I'm not calling out

Cross the street I was holding out

Holding out cross the table

I was holding out

Trying to find a lover like that holding out

Like the wind I was holding out

Staying still hoping no one else would see me

Hoping calm replacing silent trying tongues

Do I need a reason to hold you now

Cause I'd hold you now

Yeah I would hold you now

One night and all I need is one more day

Holding out something that feels okay

And the right thing to do is wait

Holding out

Holding out

Holding out for you

I am strange, believed in fairy tales at a young age

Circumstance now I kick my self in the pants

Down the street talk to you, tires screech

Isn't it strange I had a chance now were holding out

Hoping that the last string won't break

I'm nodding out

With a smile stuck on my face

And then you came to me in a far away way

And I'm bring you something I want you to have

It's the biggest part of my heart that I still got

Hoping arms

Know I'll be holding out

I'll be holding out

Holding out

I'll be holding out

Holding out

Holding out

Holding out

For you

The Mission - Metal Guru

Metal Guru is it you

Metal Guru is it you

Sitting there in your armour plated chair

Metal Guru is it true

Metal Guru is it true

All alone without a telephone

Metal Guru could it be

You're gonna bring my baby to me

She'll be wild you know

A rock'n'roll child

Metal Guru has it been

Just like a silver-studded sabre-tooth dream

I'll be clean you know

Pollution machine

London Grammar - Nightcall

I’m giving you a nightcall to tell you how I feel
I’m gonna drive you through the night down the hills
I’m gonna tell you something you don’t want to hear
I’m gonna show you where it’s dumped but have no fear

There’s something inside you
It's hard to explain
There’s something inside you, boy
And you’re still the same

I’m giving you a nightcall to tell you how I feel
I’m gonna drive you through the night down the hills
I’m gonna tell you something you don’t want to hear
I’m gonna show you where it’s dumped but have no fear

There’s something inside you
It's hard to explain
They’re talking about you, boy
But you’re still the same

Tell you how,
Tell you how,
Tell you how.

I’m giving you a nightcall to tell you how I feel
I’m gonna drive you through the night down the hills
I’m gonna tell you something you don’t want to hear
I’m giving you a nightcall to tell you how I feel and how I feel

(originally recorded by Kavinsky)

dEUS - One Thing About Waves

Waves
You know we kind of waves
We rolling on the time
Like a tear in your eye

One thing about waves
And have the mood can change
Like a wind on fire
We’ve been here for so long

And we counts for you and I
From the ripple to the sky
With the very first stage we coming
The very first stage in the life
Circle of waves
You know we comes in waves
As we need the days
As we move through the night

Wind and water
Gliding water
You are the limit of yourself
You are the sickness and the hell

And we counts for you and I
From the ripple to the sky
For you the very first stage we coming
The very first stage in the life
Circle of waves

Wind and water
Gliding water
You are the undertow of love
You are the hatred and the love

And we counts for you and I
From the ripple to the sky
For you the very first stage we coming
The very first stage in the life
Circle of waves

Wind and water
Gliding water
You are the limit of yourself
You are the sickness and the hell

You feel within the undertow
I think it never start of flow
I guess it’s just the way we go
Some making them
Some breaking them

Waves
You know we kind of waves
We rolling on the time
Like a tear in your eye

We’ve been here for so long

Alice In Chains - Angry Chair

Sitting on an angry chair
Angry walls that steal the air
Stomach hurts and I don't care

What do I see across the way, hey
See myself molded in clay, oh
Stares at me, yeah I'm afraid, hey
Changing the shape of his face, aw yeah

Candles red I have a pair
Shadows dancing everywhere
Burning on the angry chair

Little boy made a mistake, hey
Pink cloud has now turned to gray, oh
All that I want is to play, hey
Get on your knees, time to pray, boy

I don't mind, yeah, I don't mind, I-I-I
I don't mind, yeah, I don't mind, I-I-I
Lost my mind, yeah, but I don't mind, I-I-I
Can't find it anywhere, I don't mind, I-I-I

Corporate prison, we stay, hey
I'm a dull boy, work all day, oh
So I'm strung out anyway, hey

Loneliness is not a phase
Field of pain is where I graze
Serenity is far away

Saw my reflection and cried, hey
So little hope that I died, oh
Feed me your lies, open wide, hey
Weight of my heart, not the size, oh

I don't mind, yeah, I don't mind, I-I-I
I don't mind, yeah, I don't mind, I-I-I
Lost my mind, yeah, but I don't mind, I-I-I
Can't find it anywhere, I don't mind, I-I-I

Pink cloud has now turned to gray
All that I want is to play
Get on your knees time to pray, boy
