U2 - Walk To The Water

She said it wasn't cold
She left her coat unbuttoned
She wore canvas shoes
White canvas shoes
Around her neck
She wore a silver necklace
'It was given to me by my father' she said
'It was given to me'

She took the back way home
Past the lights at Summerhill
Turn left on to the north strand
And on
On towards the sea

He said he was an artist
But he really painted billboards
In large capital letters
In large capital letters
He was telling jokes
Nobody else would listen to him

I saw you that day
Your lips were cherry red
Your legs were crossed your arms wide open
Your hair was coloured gold
And like a field of corn
You were blown by the wind
You were blown by the wind

Walk, walk, walk to the water
Walk with me awhile
Walk, walk, walk to the roadside
walk with me in a light

A room in the Royal hotel
With sea facing views
A man with a suitcase
Full of things he doesn't need
I'm looking through your window
I'm walking through your doorway
I'm on the outside
Let me in

Let me love you
Let me love you
Let me

Walk, walk, walk to the water
Walk with me
Walk, walk, walk to the roadside
walk with me a while

The Gathering - Stronger

I won't be listening to your words
Trying to hold me down (trying to hold you down)
But I just grow stronger
And nobody cares but you

Time
Time won't come back
You'll have to move on
You'll have to move on, oh
Time
You'll have to move on, oh

Who, who do you think you are
How, how can you think your dirt is needed
In this beautiful world of music

Time
You'll have to move on
You'll have to move on
You'll have to move on, oh

Time
Time will go on
You'll have to move on
Time will go on
You'll have to move on
Time will go on
You'll have to move on

Suede - The Fur & The Feathers

On the platform you are waiting

Your arms are bare

There’s a warning in your eyes

And the cold earth waits for me there

As I hurry past the railings

You brush your dress

And with the mourning in your eyes

And that look of hungriness

And who knows what we’ve begun

We are thrown together

From the moment we are young

The fur and the feathers, the fox and the geese

The thrill of the chase

It’s the thrill of the chase

And I know that there’s a meaning

Beyond the flesh

Well, I’ve found some different feeling

In the grip of your caress

On the platform you are waiting

And my breathing stops

I’m so scared of touching you

But I’m scared to not

And who knows what we’ve begun

We are thrown together

And who knows what we’ll become

The fur and the feathers, the fox and the geese

The thrill of the chase

It’s the thrill of the chase

And who knows what we’ll become

As we brave the weather

From the moment we are young

The fur and the feathers, the fox and the geese

The thrill of the chase

It’s the thrill of the chase

Suede - It's Always the Quiet Ones

Brittle little smile
Pretty petrol eyes
We keep our shadows locked up here inside

Try not to offend
Or to disappoint them
Write them letters you will never send

Oh they stay in shadows all the heart breakers
Oh they stay in shadows all the trouble makers
It's always the quiet ones
It's always the quiet ones

And don't show that you're hurt
You won't be the first
To hide the bruises there under your shirt

Oh and your secret's safe with me
So admit your complicity
And write them words that they will never read

Oh they stay in shadows all the heart breakers
Oh they stay in shadows all the trouble makers
It's always the quiet ones
It's always the quiet ones

Oh they stay in shadows all the heart breakers
Oh they stay in shadows all the trouble makers

Oh they stay in shadows all the heart breakers
Oh they stay in shadows all the trouble makers
It's always the quiet ones
It's always the quiet ones

Placebo - Fix Yourself

No way
I won't deal
Go fuck yourselves
Don't tell me how to feel
Now I'm bored
Of your caucasian Jesus

Not seen
But isn't even there
And I dream
What you could never dare

My thoughts, are not who I am
I've killed, I've died
And I've tried the best I can
I run, from you
Harbingers of doom

'Cause I won't be pacified
By what you're scared to lose
And I won't efface myself
So I can be like you

Go fix yourself
Instead of someone else
Go fix yourself
Instead of someone else
Go fix yourself
Instead of someone else
Go fix yourself
Instead of someone else
Go fix yourself
Instead of someone else
Go fix yourself

Go fix yourself
Go fix yourself
Instead of someone else
Go fix yourself
Go fix yourself
Instead of someone else
Go fix yourself
Instead of someone else
Go fix yourself
Instead of someone else
Go fix yourself
Go fix yourself
Instead of someone else
Go fix yourself
Instead of someone else
Go fix yourself
Instead of someone else

Cat Power - Naked, If I Want To (Jukebox version)

Would you let me walk down your street
Naked if I want to?
Can I fire fireworks on the fourth of every single July?
Can I buy an amplifier, oh, on time?
My sweet time

Well I ain't got no money
I will pay this time
And I ain't got no money
But I will pay you before I die

And would you let me walk down your street
Naked if I want to?
Can I fire fireworks on the fourth of every single July?
Can I buy an aeroplane while i'm high in all the sky?
And I got no mercy
I will pay this time
And I got no mercy
I will pay you before I die

(originally recorded by Moby Grape)

Megadeth - Paranoid

Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind

People think that I'm insane because I'm frowning all the time

All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy

Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify

Can you help me occupy my brain?

Oh yeah

Yeah, yeah

I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find

I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind

Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry

Happiness I cannot feel so love to me is so unreal

And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state

I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it's too late

It's too late

Too late

(originally recorded by Black Sabbath)

London Grammar - Hell To The Liars

Hell to the liars
Here's to you and me
Hell to the best of us
Here's to you and me

Hell to the righteous ones
Here's to them
The grey-suited walkers
Prestigious men

Here's to the things you love
Here's to those you fight enough
Hell to the rest of us
Here's to the things you love
Here's to the things you love

Those who are born with love
Here's to you trying
And I'm no better than those I judge
With all my suffering

Hell to the liars
Here's to you and me
I look way above us
Seeing no one free

Here's to the things you love
Here's to those you fight enough
Hell to the rest of us
Here's to the things you love
Here's to the things you love

Here's to the things you love
Here's to those you fight enough
Hell to the rest of us
Here's to the things you love
Here's to the things you love

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - The Mercy Seat

It began when they come took me from my home
And put me in Dead Row,
Of which I am nearly wholly innocent, you know.
And I’ll say it again
I..am..not..afraid..to..die.

I began to warm and chill
To objects and their fields,
A ragged cup, a twisted mop
The face of Jesus in my soup
Those sinister dinner meals
The meal trolley’s wicked wheels
A hooked bone rising from my food
All things either good or ungood.

An the mercy seat is waiting
And I think my head is burning
And in a way I’m yearning
To be done with all this measuring of truth.
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
An anyway I told the truth
And I’m not afraid to die.

Interpret signs and catalogue
A blackened tooth, a scarlet fog.
The walls are bad.
Black. Bottom kind.
They are the sick breath at my hind
They are the sick breath at my hind
They are the sick breath at my hind
They are the sick breath gathering at my hind

I hear stories from the chamber
How Christ was born into a manger
And like some ragged stranger
Died upon the cross
And might I say it seems so fitting in its way
He was a carpenter by trade
Or at least that’s what I’m told

Like my good hand I
Tattooed E.V.I.L. across it’s brother’s fist
That filthy five! They did nothing to challenge or resist.

In Heaven His throne is made of gold
The ark of His testament is stowed
A throne from which I’m told
All history does unfold.
Down here it’s made of wood & wire
And my body is on fire
And God is never far away.

Into the mercy seat I climb
My head is shaved, my head is wired
And like a moth that tries
To enter the bright eye
I go shuffling out of life
Just to hide in death awhile
And anyway I never lied.

My kill-hand is called E.V.I.L
Wears a wedding band that’s G.O.O.D
‘Tis a long-suffering shackle
Collaring all that rebel blood.

And the mercy seat is waiting
And I think my head is burning
And in a way I’m yearning
To be done with all this measuring of truth.
And an eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
And anyway I told the truth
And I’m not afraid to die.

And the mercy seat is burning
And I think my head is glowing
And in a way I’m hoping
To be done with all this weighing up of truth.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
And I’ve got nothing left to lose
And I’m not afraid to die.

And the mercy seat is glowing
And I think my head is smoking
And in a way I’m hoping
To be done with all these looks of disbelief.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
And anyway there was no proof
Nor a motive why.

And the mercy seat is smoking
And I think my head is melting
And in a way I’m helping
To be done with all this twisting of the truth.
A lie for a lie
And a truth for a truth
And I’ve got nothing left to lose
And I’m not afraid to die.

And the mercy seat is melting
And I think my blood is boiling
And in a way I’m spoiling
All the fun with all this truth and consequence.
An eye for an eye
An a truth for a truth
And anyway I told the truth
And I’m not afraid to die.

And the mercy seat is waiting
And I think my head is burning
And in a way I’m yearning
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
A life for a life
And a truth for a truth
And anyway there was no proof
But I’m not afraid to tell a lie.

And the mercy seat is waiting
And I think my head is burning
And in a way I’m yearning
To be done with all this measuring of truth.
An eye for an eye
And a truth for a truth
And anyway I told the truth
But I’m afraid I told a lie.
