The Jesus And Mary Chain - Alphabet Street

I'm going down to Alphabet Street
I'm gonna crown the first girl that I meet
I'm gonna talk so sexy
She'll want me from my head to my feet

I'm gonna drive my daddy's thunderbird
I'm gonna try but you know it's absurd
I'm gonna put her in the back seat
And drive her to Tennessee

I'm going down down down cause that's the only way
To make this cruel cruel world hear what we've got to say
Put the right letters together and make a better day

(originally recorded by Prince)

Lykke Li - Let It Fall

Let it fall, let it fall
Let it fall, let it fall

So I weep, so I weep
So I weep, so I weep

In my weakest moments I weep
'Cause I like the way
Tears fit my cheek
In my darkest moments I cry
Oh how I love the way
Tears suits my face

I like it salt
I like it wet
Like my makeup in a mess
So I cry hard
Let it fall
And I won't stop until my tears are all shed

So I weep, so I weep
So I weep

So I weep, so I weep
So I weep
And I won't stop until my tears are all shed

Let it fall, let it fall
Let it fall, let it fall

In joyous moments I moan
'Cause it feels so good
When I let my water flow
Drip drop, and I cannot stop
Can't stop, no I said no
Drip drop, and I cannot
stop
Can't stop
I cry for you, cry for you
I cry because I cannot help it
So it runs, yes it falls
And ain't no stopping at all

I like it salt
I like it wet
Like my makeup in a mess
So I cry hard
Let it fall
And I won't stop until my tears are all shed

So I weep, so I weep
So I weep

So I weep, so I weep
So I weep
And I won't stop until my tears are all shed

Let it fall, let it fall
Let it fall, let it fall

Let it fall, let it fall
Let it fall, let it fall

So I weep, so I weep
So I weep
And I won't stop until my tears are all shed

Let it fall, let it fall
Let it fall, let it fall

Let it fall, let it fall
Let it fall, let it fall
Let it fall

Radiohead - Last Flowers

Appliances have gone berserk
I cannot keep up
Treading on people's toes
Snot-nosed little punk

And I can't face the evening straight
You can offer me escape
Houses move and houses speak
If you take me there you'll get relief, relief
Relief, relief

And if I'm gonna talk
I just wanna talk
Please don't interrupt
Just sit back and listen

'Cause I can't face the evening straight
You can offer me escape
Houses move and houses speak
If you take me there you'll get relief, relief
Relief, relief
Relief, relief

It's too much
Too bright
Too powerful
Too much
Too bright
Too powerful
Too much
Too bright
Too powerful
Too much
Too bright
Too powerful

dEUS - Let's See Who Goes Down First

I was walking down the river
Playing solitary quiver
I was thinking about a million different lives.
She came dancing up a mountain
Spread here whiteness like a fountain
And a hint of broken turquoise in her eyes.

She came all the way to say I didn’t stand
A single chance the state that I was in.

I said:
“Your soul it is a swaying”.
She said:
“Hey that’s a pretty saying,
But unfortunately it is not true”.

She said:
“You’re just looking for another to love you”.

Now we all know the world is dying
And expenses multiplying
But you could try to take it easy too.
Let me take you for a ride
I will take you for a ride
‘Cause in time
You’ll be mine
When you’re mine
It’ll be oh so fine yeah!

At the time I wasn’t feeling that good.
I wasn’t longing for a strange delight
I wasn’t flashing on the dark at night
I wasn’t going for no periodic mood.

I wasn’t suffering no odd disease
I never thought of it as no unease
But when it called me I just had to let it loose
It never made me wonder or ever think
Just merely tapping on my instinct
It left me there and I wasn’t left to choose.
Now I heard stories about this kind of thing
It haphazardly just sucks you in,
Makes you do stuff you never thought you’d do.

One night it drove me to despair
What if anybody had seen me there
To this day I still wonder how they knew.

They started spreading rumours about my state
You know how it goes around this place,
Now and then they just need someone to screw.

My senses numb but I could feel
Four, five years taken out of me.
If you’d ask me, there’s no way I could prove.

The smell of hysteria was chemical,
The air around me thick and physical,
My mind was racing but myself I couldn’t move.
It had me running, running, running, running, …

Now I heard stories about this kind of thing,
It doesn’t lose it just lets you win
With a little bit of luck you don’t come out too bruised.

Such anger that I couldn’t vent
So much energy I couldn’t spend
It would have fucked me over if I hadn’t cut it loose – YEAH
I wasn’t suffering no odd disease
I never thought of it as no unease,
Next time it calls me I’ll be ready
‘CAUSE I KNOW

Violent Femmes - Good Friend

If only you could know How I'd love you so The way good friends do The way I would be you And me too, I'd be your Good friend, I'd be your Good friend, I'd be your Good friend That's what I would've been Oh but everytime I turn around My heart's on the mend These feelings I have I have to suspend Seems like everytime I turn around My heart's on the mend Because I don't think you want me To be your good friend Yesterday is a laugh And the traumas slip past And I don't think That I'll be doing a lot of crying But I'll sure do my share of sighing I would have been your...

The Sisters of Mercy - Fix

Love for the party love for the nation
Love for the fix for the fabrication
Love for the corpse for the corporation
Love for the death and for the defecation
Romance and assassination
Give me the love for the genocide
Give me love

New Order - Angel Dust

What shall I say?
I fear you will betray me
How many ways
Can you prolong this tragedy?
Who told you that I would be back?
You came here to seize my freedom
I will send you falling slowly
To the earth I see below me

You never knew
With open arms I came to you
Judging me so safe to be with
Mistakes you made that you can't live with
What you get is what you need
When you watch the blood but you don't feed
You make me feel like the Master of Bourgeois
A man whose life's become illusion

The Cranberries - Daffodil Lament

Holding on, that's what I do, since I met you
And it won't be long
Would you notice, if I left you?
And it's fine for some
'Cause you're not the one, you're not the one
There
There, there, there
There, there

All-night long, laid on my pillow
These things are wrong
I can't sleep here

So lovely, so lovely, so lovely

I have decided to leave you forever
I have decided to start things from here
Thunder and lightning won't change what I'm feeling
And the daffodils look lovely today
And the daffodils look lovely today
Look lovely today
Through your eyes I can see the disguise
Through your eyes I can see the dismay
Has anyone seen lightning?
Has anyone looked lovely?

And the daffodils look lovely today, a-ay
And the daffodils look lovely today, a-ay
Look lovely today

Look lovely (Look lovely)
Look lovely (Look lovely)
Look lovely (Look lovely)
Look lovely (Look lovely)
Look lovely (Look lovely)
Look lovely (Look lovely)
Look lovely (Look lovely)
Look lovely (Look lovely)
Look lovely
Nah, nah
Nah, nah-nah, nah-nah, nah
Nah, nah-nah, nah-nah, nah
Nah, nah-nah, nah-nah, nah
Nah, nah-nah, nah-nah

Cat Power - In This Hole

In this hole that we have fixed
We get further and further and further
From the world
We must do

I saw you asleep beside a wall
Your skull inside a ball
Your eyes blackened by
The sound and the thought of God
Where should I hang my head?
Where would you like for me to hang my head?

One absence of truth
And one horrible thing I saw
What you truly wanted to become
And who you thought I was
The fall, the fall
Afraid to love
What is deeper than the grave
Goes all the way down those tracks
Everybody bow your head for the greatest inspiration
Complete contradiction
Away

In this hole that we have fixed
We get further and further
From the world
We must do
I know this, I know this
You know this, you know this

In this hole that we have fixed
We get further and further and further
From the world
We must do

I saw you outside that wall
Your skull outside that wall
Your eyes perceived by the sound
And the light of God

The hunter sits on a pure white stallion
A hawk in flight, the bow in his hand
A deer approaches at the end of the forest
The arrow flies, blood on the snow

Wilderness, we reach out
Wilderness, we must embrace you once more

Shining brightly
Snow is pure now

When the barbarians approach on the frontiers of a civilization,
it is a sign of a crisis in that civilization.
When the barbarians come, not with weapons of war, but
with songs and icons of peace.
It is a sign of the crisis in one of a spiritual nature.
That a spiritual nature.
We have forgotten our spiritual nature.
Cause we are wrapped up in too much shit all day, all night.
