Deftones - Engine No. 9

This ain't no motherfuckin' stick up
Pick the stick up and watch it roll real close
Rolling out of my hand till it cracks to that fucking dome
Living off the curb that peels you from the curb
A lick rest off, do you dig
Many in '93 been making them fools go 'bout round bumping around me
You'll want to run from underground at the best
Walk the line from the verb on the beats
I won't see your fuckin' head

Peers I flow and mother, she
Won't drain herself and won't be caught in
All live in a big world began, just because

My life's unrise, wipe
Lyrical, did
Because my life's unrise, wipe
Lyrical, did
I get more shit out
Bringin' in, because
My life's unrise, wipe
Lyrical, did
Because my life's unrise, wipe
Lyrical, did

Get straight quickly, making fools go down, bumping around me
You'll want to see from underground
To that side, five blocks from the verb
Now, 'cause he can't see you, fuckin' head

Peers I flow and mother, she
Won't drain herself and won't be caught in this big
She did what, she did what, she did what, she did

Because my life's unrise, wipe
Lyrical, did
Because my life's unrise, wipe
Lyrical, did
I get into shit
Bringin' in because
My life's unrise, wipe
Lyrical, did
Let me to
Lyrical, did
Bringin' to the
Wipe, did
Wipe, did

Let mother in
Cut it in

That's why lyrical
That's why lyrical
Bringin' in because
My life's unrise, wipe
Lyrical, did
Motherfucker, wipe
Lyrical, did
Make it to the
Wipe, did
Wipe, did
Wipe, did
Wipe, did
No more

TOOL - Prison Sex

It took so long to remember just what happened.
I was so young and vestal then,
you know it hurt me,
but I'm breathing so I guess I'm still alive
even if signs seem to tell me otherwise.
I've got my hands bound,
my head down, my eyes closed,
and my throat wide open.

Do unto others what has been done to you

I'm treading water,
I need to sleep a while.
My lamb and martyr, you look so precious.
Won't you come a bit closer,
close enough so I can smell you.
I need you to feel this,
I can't stand to burn too long.
Released in this sodomy.
For one sweet moment I am whole.

Do unto you now what has been done to me.

You're breathing so I guess you're still alive
even if signs seem to tell me otherwise.
Won't you come just a bit closer,
close enough so I can smell you.
I need you to feel this.
I need this to make me whole.
There's release in this sodomy.
For I am your witness that
blood and flesh can be trusted.
And only this one holy medium brings me piece of mind.

Got your hands bound, your head down,
your eyes closed.
You look so precious now.

I have found some kind of temporary sanity in this
shit blood and cum on my hands.

I've come round full circle.
My lamb and martyr, this will be over soon.
You look so precious.

Cat Power - What Would The Community Think

My God what would the community think
You are so beautiful, you are so beautiful

All the things that people do in winter
They all melt down in summer
Things I never should say
On a very hot day

Been crying in my eyes

Vacation, vacation, vacation, vacation...

My God what would the community think
You are so beautiful, you are so beautiful

The Vaccines - Change Of Heart, Pt. 2

Do ya do ya do ya think of speaking your mind
Or is it openly as lonely as it is cold
And do ya do ya do ya wanna get away
Or is it better off in the balance anyway
Later on or yeah whatever
I see now your beauty never ends

What the hell you do it's up to you
Now you've got to see it through
Tell the man you've had a change of heart

Do you make light of a bad situation
By burying your head under the sand
And eat the apple of your eye
Just because your mouth was dry
Oh well

Doesn't really matter what you need
But honest is paramount
Just tell the man you've had a change of heart

Bullet hits the wall and you'll play along
Give someone a answer and they'll think of one
Find yourself somewhere you have never been before
Ohhhhhhhhhhh

Give it time there's no appeal
You can bite the bullet, or just do it in a minute
For the love of god if you've had a change of heart

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Lullaby

You are the sun to the earth
You are the light of this world
Won't you see
Why won't you see
You are an arm I can't reach
You are the words I can't speak
Won't you say
Why won't you say
I will walk till I've no shadow
I will walk till I've no shadow

You twist the light in your hands
Losing thoughts so you move you can't give
Reasons fall from every storm that you lived
We move through the dark, helpless

You are the quiet in my soul
You are the pieces of gold
Won't you shine
Why won't you shine
I will walk till I've no shadow
I will walk till I've no shadow
I will walk till I've no shadow
I will walk till I've no shadow

Vampire Weekend - Finger Back

Bend my finger back (snap)
Wrap it in a paper towel
Break a twig in half and set it straight

Hit me with a wood bat
Hit me with a canister that's fired while
The soldiers drive away

Bend my finger back (snap)
On and on and on and on for days

Hit me with a wood bat
Hit me like a yankee, like a son of
Freedom never as a slave

It's etiquette, you idiot
Spend time behind the line
Show sympathy to LA where the sun don't ever shine
Everybody wants you, but baby you are mine
And baby you're not anybody's fool

Bless me with a heart attack
A real crise cardiaque
And show me where to find the surgeon's knife

Eviscerate me now (hack)
Take me to my punishment
The punishment I've needed all my life

Bend my finger (snap)
On and on and on and on with strife

Listen to my bum rap
Listen to the evidence exonerating me from being right

It's etiquette, you idiot
Spend time behind the line
Show sympathy to LA where the sun don't ever shine

Everybody wants you, but baby you are mine
And baby you're not anybody's fool

I know that I've been wicked and the road to hell is wide
Cursed by curiosity that made us go inside
Everyone was charming but they took us for a ride
But baby, you're not anybody's fool

Bend my finger back (snap)
Wrap it in a paper towel
Break a twig in half and set it straight

Hit me with a wood bat
Hit me with a canister that's fired while
The soldiers drive away

Bend my finger back (snap)
On and on and on and on for days

Hit me with a wood bat
Hit me like a yankee, like a son of
Freedom never as a slave

It's etiquette, you idiot
Spend time behind the line
Show sympathy to LA where the sun don't ever shine
Everybody wants you, but baby you are mine
And baby you're not anybody's fool

The harpsichord is broken and the television's fried
The city's getting hotter like a country in decline
Everyone's a coward when you look them in the eyes
But baby, you're not anybody's fool

Sing next year in Jerusalem
You know - the one at W. 103rd and Broadway?
Cuz this Orthodox girl fell in love with the guy at the falafel shop
And why not?
Should she have averted her eyes and
Just stared at the laminated poster of the dome of the rock?

Remembrances of holy days in Tarrytown and Rye
I don't wanna live like this but I don't wanna die

Condolences to gentle hearts who couldn't bear to try
I don't wanna live like this but I don't wanna die

Remembrances of holy days in Tarrytown and Rye
I don't wanna live like this but I don't wanna die

Beastie Boys - No Sleep Till Brooklyn

No sleep 'til - Brooklyn

Foot on the pedal, never ever false metal
Engine running hotter than a boiling kettle
My job ain't a job, it's a damn good time
City to city, I'm running my rhymes

On location, touring around the nation
Beastie Boys always on vacation
Itchy trigger finger but a stable turntable
I do what I do best because I'm willing and able

Ain't no faking, your money I'm taking
Going coast to coast to watch all the girlies shaking
While you're at the job working nine to five
The Beastie Boys at the Garden cold kickin' it live

No sleep till

Another plane, another train
Another bottle in the brain
Another girl, another fight
Another drive all night
Our manager's crazy, he always smokes dust
He's got his own room at the back of the bus

Tour around the world, you rock around the clock
Plane to hotel, girls on the jock
We're trashing hotels like it's going out of style
Getting paid along the way 'cause it's worth your while

Four on the floor, Ad-Rock's out the door
MCA's in the back because he's skeezin' with a whore
We got a safe in the trunk with money in a stack
With dice in the front and Brooklyn's in the back

No sleep till
No sleep till Brooklyn
No sleep till Brooklyn

Ain't seen the light since we started this band
MCA, get on the mic my man

Born and bred Brooklyn, U.S.A.
They call me Adam Yauch, but I'm M.C.A..
Like a lemon to a lime, a lime to a lemon
I sip the def ale with all the fly women

Got limos, arena, TV-shows
Autograph pictures and classy hos
Step off holmes, get out of my way
Taxing little girlies from here to L.A..
Waking up before I get to sleep
'Cause I'll be rockin' this party eight days a week!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Despair

Don't despair
You're there
From beginning to middle to end

Don't despair
You're there through my wasted days
You're there through my wasted nights

Oh despair
You've always been there
You've always been there
You've always been there
You're there through my wasted years
Through all my lonely fears
No tears
Will run through my fingers
Tears
They're stinging my eyes
No tears
If it's all in my head
There's nothing to fear
Nothing to fear inside
Through the darkness and the light
Some sun has got to rise
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
My sun is your sun, my sun is your sun
My sun is your sun, my sun is your sun
Their sun is our sun, their sun is our sun
Their sun is our sun, their sun is our sun

My sun is your sun, my sun is your sun
My sun is your sun, my sun is your sun
Their sun is our sun, their sun is our sun
Their sun is our sun, their sun is our sun

Oh despair
You're there through my wasted days
You're there through my wasted nights
You're there through my wasted years
You're there through my wasted life

You've always been there
You've always been there
You've always been there
You're there through my wasted years
Through all of my lonely fears
No tears
Will run through my fingers
We're all on the edge
There's nothing to fear
Nothing to fear inside
Through the darkness and the light
Some sun has got to rise

My sun is your sun, my sun is your sun
My sun is your sun, my sun is your sun
Their sun is our sun, their sun is our sun
Their sun is our sun
Some sun has got to rise

My sun is your sun, my sun is your sun
My sun is your sun, my sun is your sun
Their sun is our sun, their sun is our sun
Their sun is our sun, their sun is our sun
Some sun has got to rise

Alanis Morissette - celebrity

I have tasted stardom since before I breathed
My well-known hungry daddy modeled for me
And I have never left this ambitious city
And I've only known a lust for VIP
I have studied long and hard how to proceed
Nothing but my name in bright lights call to me
And I display the perfect amount of ennui
I'll carve my face up if you'll indulge me

Give me celebrity
My kingdom to be famous
Tell me who I have to be
Starving to be famous

Never wondered who's pulling strings above me
Cause I'm aware of wheels, heels and vintage Gucci
I'm on my twentieth round of Vitamin V
And I'll cut my weight in two if you'll have me

Give me celebrity
My kingdom to be famous
Tell me who I have to be
Starving to be famous

Let me into this exclusive club
Ignore my not-so-hidden agenda
I am a tattooed sexy dancing monkey
Just aloof enough to get you to want me
Hoping my persona ingratiates me
Give my life for an opportunity

Give me celebrity
My kingdom to be famous
Tell me who I have to be
Starving to be famous

The Smiths - The Hand That Rocks The Cradle

Please don't cry
For the ghost and the storm outside
Will not invade this sacred shrine
Nor infiltrate your mind
My life down I shall lie
If the bogey-man should try
To play tricks on your sacred mind
To tease, torment, and tantalise
Wavering shadows loom
A piano plays in an empty room
There'll be blood on the cleaver tonight
And when darknesss lifts and the room is bright
I'll still be by your side
For you are all that matters
And I'll love you to till the day I die
There never need be longing in your eyes
As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine
Ceiling shadows shimmy by
And when the wardrobe towers like a beast of prey
There's sadness in your beautiful eyes
Oh, your untouched, unsoiled, wonderous eyes
My life down I shall lie
Should restless spirits try
To play tricks on your sacred mind
I once had a child, and it saved my life
And I never even asked his name
I just looked into his wondrous eyes
And said: "never never never again"
And all too soon I did return
Just like a moth to a flame
So rattle my bones all over the stones
I'm only a beggar-man whom nobody owns
Oh, see how words as old as sin
Fit me like a glove
I'm here and here I'll stay
Together we lie, together we pray
There never need be longing in your eyes
As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine
As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine
Mine
Climb up on my knee, sonny boy
Although you're only three, sonny boy
You're - you're mine
And your mother she just never knew
Oh, your mother...
As long... as long... as long
I did my best for her
I did my best for her
As long... as long... as long as... as long
I did my best for her
I did my best for her
Oh...
