Violent Femmes - Breakin' Hearts

See that girl
She put me in a whirl
She's got a way of breakin' hearts
Man o man
I wonder if I can
She's got a way of breaking hearts
Seems like she is always
Workin' on the sly
Then she tells her poor man
Good bye
Holy smoke
I wonder if there's hope
She's got a way of breakin' hearts
I will not tarry
I'm askin' her to marry me
Even though she's got a way of
Breakin' hearts

Pearl Jam - Indifference

I will light the match this morning, so I won't be alone
Watch as she lies silent, for soon light will be gone
Oh I will stand arms outstretched, pretend I'm free to roam
Oh I will make my way, through, one more day in...hell

How much difference does it make
How much difference does it make...

I will hold the candle, till it burns up my arm
I'll keep takin' punches, until their will grows tired
Oh I will stare the sun down, until my eyes go blind
Hey I won't change direction, and I won't change my mind

How much difference does it make
How much difference does it make...
How much difference...

I'll swallow poison, until I grow immune
I will scream my lungs out till it fills this room

How much difference
How much difference
How much difference does it make
How much difference does it make...

The Temper Trap - I'm Gonna Wait

Way down
In a not so distant place
Your ghost is lingering
Still frames remembering
The way we were

Way down
I see reflections in the well
A distant haunting bell
Resounding every time
I touch you in my mind

Helpless
Prayers cannot speed the time
Nor heaven change the mind
Left to our own device
We set this bridge alight

One day
You may not know it yet
But this you won't forget
I was the one who came
Running back again

I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I wanna
I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I wanna
I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait for you

My arms
Are reaching out to you
Each time I think of you
The floodgates open
And I'm left drowning in

All hope
It lingers in my sleep
May you return to me
Not to possess
But to hold you in my keep

I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I wanna
I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I wanna
I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait for you

And so the last page shall remain
Empty until we write the rest
Yes some may say that I'm a fool
A fool for waiting for you

I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I wanna
(I'll be a fool, a fool waiting for you)
I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I wanna
(When you come calling, I'll be here still waiting for you)
I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I wanna,
I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I wanna,
I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna wait for you

Kasabian - Acid Turkish Bath (Shelter From The Storm)

Cotton mouth is bleeding
One way glass deceiving

Dope me up on woman and credit cards
Promise x-ray vision and fancy cars
The tables set for the bourgeois
Better get in line with your dinner tray cause

When it's all ran out and it's just you left
With the nut job swigging his crystal meth
And there's a constant ring of machinery
Is there a place for me in history

Sending the boys away
Leaving them out to play
Throwing them miles away
Now it's another day
To shelter from the storm

Sons of time are rising
16 minds exploding

It's the 21st century ain't it cool
It's taught us to eat and how to drool
And the wind up merchants are out in force
Telling you my brother to change your course

And you won't be the first to think it's wrong
When all you really want is to bang a gong
Cause it's all sewn in our misery
Is there a place for me in the history

Sending the boys away
Leaving them out to play
Throwing them miles away
Wishing for new years day
To shelter from the storm

We gotta break down the doors
And shelter from the storm

Depeche Mode - Puppets

Get that feeling
Head is reeling
You think you're in control
But you don't know me babe
I can move you
I can soothe you
I can take you places in a different way

I don't think you understand
What I'm trying to say
I'll be your operator baby
I'm in control

Watch your action
Close reaction
And everything you're thinking babe inside your head
Conversation, my creation
Nothing that you do
You do unless I said

You don't know the consequences
Of the things you say
I'll be your operator baby
I'm in control

All the things you tried to do babe
And all the words we said before
Are only part of what I started baby
And you can't stop me anymore

Explosions In The Sky - First Breath After Coma

...

Arcade Fire - City With No Children

The summer that I broke my arm
I waited for your letter
I have no feeling for you now
Now that I know you better

I wish that I could have loved you then
Before our age was through
And before a world war does with us whatever it will do

Dreamt I drove home to Houston
On a highway that was underground
There was no light that we could see
As we listened to the sound
Of the engine failing

I feel like I've been living in
A city with no children in it
A garden left for ruin by a millionaire inside of a private prison

You never trust a millionaire quoting the sermon on the mount
I used to think I was not like them but I'm beginning to have my doubts
My doubts about it

When you're hiding underground
The rain can't get you wet
But do you think your righteousness could pay the interest on your debt?
I have my doubts about it

I feel like I've been living in
A city with no children in it
A garden left for ruin by a millionaire inside of a private prison

I feel like I've been living in
A city with no children in it
A garden left for ruin by and by as I hide inside of my private prison

Pixies - Velouria

Hold my head
We'll trampoline
Finally through the roof
On to somewhere near
And far in time
Velouria
Her covering
Travelling career
She can really move
Oh velveteen!

My velouria, my velouria
Even I'll adore you
My velouria

Say to me
Where have you been
Finally through the roof
And how does lemur skin
Reflect the sea?

We will wade in the shine of the ever
We will wade in the shine of the ever
We will wade in the tides of the summer
Every summer
Every summer
Every
My velouria
My velouria

Forevergreen
I know she's here
In California
I can see the tears
Of shastasheen

My velouria, my velouria
Even I'll adore your
My velouria

Bauhaus - Mask

The man of shadows thinks in clay
Dreamed trapped thoughts of suffocation day
He's seen in iron environments
With plastic sweat out of chiselled slits for eyes

From the growth underneath the closed mouth
You'll catch if you listen
Rack-trapped cubist vowels
From a dummy head expression
From a dummy head expression

The transformation is invested
With the mysterious and the shameful
While the thing I am becomes something else
Part character part sensation

The shadow is cast

Vampire Weekend - Cousins

You found a sweater on the ocean floor
They're gonna find it if you didn't close the door.
You and this model sit outside the side
In a house on a street they wouldn't park on at night.

Dad was a risk taker.
His was a shoe maker.
You greatest hits 2006, Little listmaker.
Caught in the melody, You wait in the car.
You were born with ten fingers and you're gonna use them all.

Interest in girls as I discovered myself
If your odd-life was greater
You'll be toastin' my health
If an interest in culture,
You should be lining the walls.
When your birth right is interest
You could just accrue it all.

Me and my cousins and you and your cousins
It's a line that is always running.
Me and my cousins, You and your cousins,
I can feel it coming

You could turn your back on the bitter world
You could turn your back on the bitter world
You could turn your back on the bitter world
You could turn your back on the bitter world

Me and my cousins and you and your cousins
It's a line that is always running.
Me and my cousins, You and your cousins,
I can feel it coming

Me and my cousins and you and your cousins
It's a line that is always running.
Me and my cousins, You and your cousins,
I can feel it coming
