London Grammar - Lord It's a Feeling

I saw the way you made her feel like she should be somebody else
I saw the way she tried to hold you when your heart was just a shell
I saw the words she wrote that broke my heart, it was a living hell
I saw the way you laughed behind her back when you fucked somebody else

I saw the way you made her feel like she should be somebody else
I know you think the stars align for you and not for her as well
I understand I can admit that I have felt those things myself
I saw the way you laughed behind her back when you fucked somebody else

Lord, it's a feeling
It comes to find you
Lord, it's a feeling
That I felt

If it's convenient for you, you want her love, she'll give you more
That's when your words are so convincing say you'll try until she's sure
That you will change, I can admit that I have been right there before
But on that morning when you're proud, you said, "I fucked somebody of course"

Lord, it's a feeling
It comes to find you
Lord, it's a feeling
(That I've felt)
It comes to find you
(Like no one else)

When the rest of us have nothing left
She won't be yours

Lord, it's a feeling
That I've felt
Lord, it's a

Feeling, it will come to find you
Feeling, it will come to find you
Feeling, it will come to find you
Feeling, it will come to find you
Feeling, it will come to find you

Lord, it's a feeling
That I've felt
It comes to find you
Like no one else

When the rest of us have nothing left
She won't be yours
When the rest of us have nothing left
She won't be yours

White Lies - From The Stars

I saw a friend that I once knew at a funeral

He took the time out to be seen

His eyes kept glancing to the hour hand

On the gold watch

That he'd been given by a magaze

He didn't cry when the priest gave the sermon

Just pulled up the woollen collar on his fleece

Crossed his arms gave a sigh and checked the time again

As he sat inches from the wife of the deceased

He catches raindrops from his window

It reminds him of how we fall

From the stars back to our cities

Where we've never felt so small

Raindrops from his window

Making puddles in his hands

He sees how quick the water's rising

As another raindrop lands

He took a chuffeur driven car back to his hotel

Passing through the city streets where he was born

He said "Driver what's happened to these buildings?

They all look rundown and so forlorn"

He took a shower in the bathroom of his penthouse

Put the 'do not disturb' on his door

When the maid came in the morning

She found him shivering on the bedroom floor

He catches raindrops from his window

It reminds him of how we fall

From the stars back to our cities

Where we've never felt so small

Raindrops from his window

Making puddles in his hands

He sees how quick the water's rising

As another raindrop lands

He catches raindrops from his window

It reminds him of how we fall

From the stars back to our cities

Where we've never felt so small

Raindrops from his window

Making puddles in his hands

He sees how quick the water's rising

As another raindrop lands

Fields Of The Nephilim - Sumerland (What Dreams May Come)

You're tempting me...
To all of life...
And all its pleasure...
Take me to the dream...
To the highs and the depths of my Soul...
Here we free... thoughts inside...
Giving up... for giving time...
But a world without end...
Where no Souls can descend...
There will be no Summertime...
How lost life's been
Afraid of waking up...
So afraid...
To take the dream...
Take the dream...
Take me...
Take the dream...

Shapes of Angels...
The night casts...
Lie dead but dreaming...
In my past...
And they're here...
They want to meet you...
They want to play with you...
So take the dream...
Take the dream...
Can't break free...
Can't break free...

And I hear them call...
They want to plague you...
They're here once more...
They want to lay with you...
They want to take you...
To the shame of your past...
Take the dream...

Take me... lead me far away...
Take there... there I'll fade away
But I can't hide
(But I can't hide)
But I can't hide... and I cannot die...
But I can't hide... and I cannot die...
I take the dream...
Take the dream...
We're the fools of our fate...
On this Earth I shall wait...
By the roots of my Soul...
I am loosing control...
Take the dream...

(Way we were)

(For me)

Sleepers in you...
Shapes of Angels...
So deep within you...
Feel your Soul...
Drowning...
Unloosen your Soul...
Drowning...

Tell me...

Drowning...
What is reality?
Tell me... what is reality...
Tell me... what is reality...
Tell me...
Tell me thoughts of God!
Do dreams fall from God?
Tell me what dreams may come...
Break free thoughts all gone...
We all come down!

Take me here...
Thoughts all gone...
Take me here...
All come down...
Tell me here...
What dreams may come...
Take me here...
Thoughts all gone
All come down...
All come down...
Take me...
I want to believe...
Take me...
I want to believe...
My ticket here...
Take me out of here...
Take me...
Take me out of here...
Take me...
Take me...
I want to believe...
Take me...
Take me...
Take me there...

Body Count - Body Count

You know sometimes I sit at home, you know,

and I watch T.V. and I wonder what it would be like

to live someplace like, you know, the Cosby show,

Ozzie and Harriet, you know, where

cops come and got your cat outta the tree

all your friends died of old age,

But you see, I live in South Central Los Angeles and unfortunately...

SHIT AIN'T LIKE THAT! IT'S REAL FUCKED UP!

Goddamn what a brother gotta do

to get a message through

to the red, white and blue?

What I gotta die

before you realize

I was a brother with open eyes?

The world's insane

while you drink champagne

and I'm livin' in black rain.

You try to ban the A.K.,

I got ten of 'em stashed

with a case of hand grenades.

Tell us what to do... Fuck you!

Tell us what to do... Fuck you!

Tell us what to do... Fuck you!

Tell us what to do... Fuck you!

You know what you'd do

if a kid got killed on the way to school

or a cop shot your kid in the backyard.

Shit would hit the fan, motherfucker

and it would hit real hard.

I hear it every night, another gunfight,

the tension mounts,

on with the Body Count.

Yo, Beatmaster "V", take these motherfuckers

to South Central.

Ha ha.

Yeah

Fuck that.

I hear it every night,

another gunfight,

the tension mounts,

on with the Body Count.

Last weekend thirty-seven kids killed in gang warfare,

in my backyard.

No!

No!

No!

Yo, Ernie C., take these motherfuckers home.

Yeah.

Yeah, we in the house, Body Count fools, 1991 motherfuckers.

I hear it every night,

another gunfight,

the tension mounts,

on with the Body Count.

Goddamn what a brother gotta do

to get a message through

to the red, white and you?

What I gotta die before you realize

I was a nigga with open eyes?

The world's insane

while you drink champagne

and I'm livin' in black rain,

don't you hear the guns

you stupid, dumb, dick suckin', bum politicians.

Tell us what to do... Fuck you!

Tell us what to do... Fuck you!

The tension mounts...

Porridge Radio - Splintered

I got a splinter last time I visited you
But my body pushed it out
I got a splinter last time I visited you
Didn't mean anything to you
Shouldn't mean anything to you

Don't want my body to be touched
Don't want to mean anything to you
Don't want to mean anything to you
Don't want to mean anything to you
Don't want to mean anything to you
Don't want to mean anything to you

I look up to myself
I'd do anything for you
I'd do anything for you

The Mission - Shelter From The Storm [BBC Radio 1 Session for Janice Long Show, 1986]

It's raining cats and dogs and I'm soaked right through the skin
Running blind in the God given light, is where I've been
It's plans to be laid, deals to be made
Price to be paid and prayers to be said
For God only knows where I lay my head

Give me shelter, shelter from the storm
Give me shelter, shelter from the storm

My head is bowed as the wind blows hard and the rain is beating cruel
Walking on water barefoot, in this whirlpool
Gods for plays and days on days
? on ?, these words of play
Give me strength and give me praise and ?? could I lay

Give me shelter, shelter from the storm
Give me shelter, shelter from the storm

It's been a long time since I rock 'n' rolled
It's been a long time since I did that stroll
Let me get it back, let me get it back, let me get it back
Let me get it back, let me get it back, let me get it back

Give me shelter, shelter from the storm
Give me shelter, shelter from the storm
Give me shelter, shelter from the storm
Give me shelter, shelter from the storm

It's raining cats and dogs and I'm soaked right through the skin
Running blind in the God given light, is where I've been
It's plans to be laid, deals to be made
Price to be paid and prayers to be said
For God only knows where I lay my head

Give me shelter, shelter from the storm
Give me shelter, shelter from the storm

Mazzy Star - Happy

Field of light
They hold me inside
Count my stars
They're all lucky in the sky

There's a time
When you go off the light
And all my things look like someone else's memories

Cold outside
Burns a great big hole in my heart
I just wait till you're happy
And your smile makes it bright
It makes it bright

Sleep inside
Ocean has miles
It shimmers and it glows
For some people
I know it shines
I know it shines

Stay inside
Don't the colors make you blind
They hold me inside
Count my stars
Let them shine
I know they shine

Nine Inch Nails - Where Is Everybody?

Did you happen to catch
Or did it happen so fast
What you thought would always last
Has passed you by
Is everything speeding up
Or am I slowing down
Just spinning around
And I don't know why
All the pieces don't fit
Thought I really didn't give a shit
I never wanted to be like you
But for all I aspire
I am really a liar
And I'm running out of things I can do

I'd like to stay
But every day
Everything pushes me further away
If you could show
Help me to know
How it's supposed to be
Where did it go?

Pleading and
Needing and
Bleeding and
Breeding and
Feeding
Exceeding
Where is everybody?
Trying and
Lying
Defying
Denying
Crying and
Dying
Where is everybody?

Well, okay, enough
You've had your fun
But come on there has got to be someone
That hasn't yet become
So numb
And succumb
And
God damn I am so tired of pretending
Of wishing I was ending
When all I'm really doing is trying to hide
And keep it inside
And fill it with lies
Open my eyes?
Maybe I wish I could try

Pleading and
Needing and
Bleeding and
Breeding and
Feeding
Exceeding
Where is everybody?
Trying and
Lying
Defying
Denying
Crying and
Dying
Where is everybody?

Paradise Lost - Honesty In Death

In amidst the madness

That only tears into myself

The mist of sadness

It turns into my hell

Burns into the frail, all this speak of death

My honesty in death,

Modesty until the end

Honesty in death

In amidst the anguish

My only prayers are to myself

Resistance crashes

As clemency compels

Turning not to face, only speak of death

My honesty in death

Honesty adorns the end

Modesty’s intent
