Placebo - Breathe Underwater (Slow)

Here comes another fall from grace

I'm always falling on my face

This attitude that I embrace

For the love I'm trying to replace

I try to kill the song

'Cause the melody's all wrong

And there's a fever coming on

It's hard to reconcile

What I've become

With the wounded child

Hiding deep inside

Breathe underwater

I'm coming up for air

I wanna see another dawn

Coming up for air

Sick of the slaughter

I'm coming up for air

'Cause I've been floating here too long

Take my ego for a ride

'Cause there's nobody by my side

It's getting hard to justify

And it won't be long 'til I collide

My weakness is laid bare

As people stop and stare

But it's the last time I swear

It's hard to reconcile

What I've become

With the wounded child

Hiding deep inside

Breathe underwater

I'm coming up for air

I wanna see another dawn

Coming up for air

Sick of the slaughter

I'm coming up for air

'Cause I've been floating here too long

Start breathing

Start breathing

Start breathing

Start breathing

Breathe underwater

I'm coming up for air

I wanna see another dawn

Coming up for air

Sick of the slaughter

I'm coming up for air

'Cause I've been floating here too long

I'm coming

I'm coming

I'm coming, coming up for air

Coming up for air

Coming up for air

Placebo - Slave To The Wage

Run away from all your boredom

Run away from all your whoredom

And wave your worries and cares goodbye

All it takes is one decision

A lot of guts, a little vision

To wave your worries and cares goodbye

It's a maze for rats to try

It's a maze for rats to try

It's a race, a race for rats

A race for rats to die

It's a race, a race for rats

A race for rats to die

Sick and tired of Maggie's farm

She's a bitch with broken arms

To wave your worries and cares goodbye

It's a maze for rats to try

It's a maze for rats to try

It's a race, a race for rats

A race for rats to die

It's a race, a race for rats

A race for rats to die

It's a race, a race for rats

A race for rats to die

It's a race, a race for rats

A race for rats to die

Run away, run away

Run away, run away

Run away, run away

Linkin Park - A Place For My Head

I watch how the moon sits in the sky in the dark night

Shining with the light from the sun

And the sun doesn't give light to the moon assuming

The moon's gonna owe it one

It makes me think of how you act for me

You do favors and then rapidly

Just turn around and start asking me

About things that you want back from me

I'm sick of the tension, sick of the hunger

Sick of you acting like I owe you this

Find another place to feed your greed

While I find a place to rest

I wanna be in another place

I hate when you say you don't understand

(You'll see it's not meant to be)

I wanna be in the energy,

Not with the enemy

A place for my head

Maybe someday I'll be just like you

And step on people like you do

And run away of the people I thought I knew

I remember back then who you were

You used to be calm, used to be strong

Used to be generous but you should've known

That you'd wear out your welcome

And now you see how quiet it is, all alone

I'm so sick of the tension, sick of the hunger

Sick of you acting like I owe you this

Find another place to feed your greed

While I find a place to rest

I'm so sick of the tension, sick of the hunger

Sick of you acting like I owe you this

Find another place to feed your greed

While I find a place to rest

I wanna be in another place

I hate when you say you don't understand

(You'll see it's not meant to be)

I wanna be in the energy,

Not with the enemy

A place for my head

You try to take the best of me

Go away

I wanna be in another place

I hate when you say you don't understand

(You'll see it's not meant to be)

I wanna be in the energy,

Not with the enemy

A place for my head

Stay a—way!

I'm so sick of the tension (stay)

Sick of the hunger

Sick of you acting like I owe you this

F ind another place to feed your greed (a—)

While I find a place to rest

I'm so sick of the tension (—way)

Sick of the hunger

Sick of you acting like I owe you this

Find another place to feed your greed (stay away from me)

While I find a place to rest

Radiohead - Myxomatosis

The mongrel cat came home

Holding half a head

Proceeded to show it off

To all his new found friends

He said “I’ve been where i liked

I slept with who I liked

She ate me up for breakfast

And screwed me in a vice

But now I don’t know why

I feel so tongue-tied”

I sat in the cupboard

And wrote it down in neat

They were cheering and waving

Cheering and waving, cheering and waving

Twitching and salivating like with myxomatosis

But it got edited fucked up

Strangled, beaten up

Used as a photo in Time magazine

Buried in a burning black hole in Devon

“I don’t know why

I feel so tongue-tied

Don’t know why

I feel so skinned alive.”

My thoughts are misguided and a little naive

I twitch and I salivate like with myxomatosis

You should put me in a home or you should put me down

I got myxomatosis

I got myxomatosis

“Now no one likes a smart arse but we all like stars”

That wasn’t my intention, I did it for a reason

It must have got mixed up

Strangled, beaten up

I got myxomatosis

I got myxomatosis

“I don’t know why

I feel so tongue-tied”

Radiohead - My Iron Lung

Faith, you’re driving me away

You do it everyday

You don’t mean it

But it hurts like hell

My brain says I’m recieving pain

A lack of oxygen

From my life support

My iron lung

We’re too young to fall asleep

To cynical to speak

We are losing it

Can’t you tell?

We scratch our eternal itch

A twentieth century bitch

And we are grateful for

Our iron lung

The head shrinkers

They want everything

My uncle Bill

My Belisha beacon

The head shrinkers

They want everything

My uncle Bill

My Belisha beacon

Suck, suck your teenage thumb

Toilet trained and dumb

When the power runs out

We’ll just hum

This, this is our new song

Just like the last one

A total waste of time

My iron lung

The head shrinkers

They want everything

My uncle Bill

My Belisha beacon

The head shrinkers

They want everything

My uncle Bill

My Belisha beacon

And if you’re frightened

You can be frightened

You can be, it’s OK

And if you’re frightened

You can be frightened

You can be, it’s OK

The head shrinkers

They want everything

My uncle Bill

My Belisha beacon

The Kills - Heart Of A Dog

From sea to mountain valley

From flesh to palms a’ swaying

Dreamers dreaming on

No matter what they’re saying

I need you

Don’t ask me why it is

I want strings - attached

Unnatural as it feels

I’m loyal, oh oh, I’m loyal

From starry eyes colliding

From Mars to someone crying

I’m never far away

No matter what I’m hiding

I get lost

But I always come around

It’s a strange fear

Allows me to be found

I’m loyal, oh oh, I’m loyal

I’m loyal, oh oh

I got the heart of a dog

It’s life or death why I chew through the chain

It don’t matter my love’s the same

Go so far but never long

Can’t break the spell in my heart

I’m loyal, oh oh, I’m loyal

I’m loyal, oh oh

I got the heart of a dog

From bars to beds of laying

From boots of lead to changing

I’m hooked from deep inside

Call when you’re ready cos I’m ready to ride

I’m loyal, oh oh

I’m loyal, oh oh

I got the heart of a dog

U2 - Heartland

See the sunrise over her skin

Don't change it.

See the sunrise over her skin

Dawn changes everything, everything.

And the delta sun

Burns bright and violent.

Mississippi and the cotton wool heat

Sixty-six - a highway speaks

Of deserts dry

Of cool green valleys

Gold and silver veins

All the shining cities

In this heartland

In this heartland

In this heartland.

Heaven knows

This is a heartland.

Heartland, our heartland.

See the sunrise over her skin

She feels like water in my hand

Freeway, like a river

Cuts through this land

Into the side of love

Like a burning spear

And the poison rain

Like dirty tears

Through the ghostranch hills

Death Valley waters

In the towers of steel

Belief goes on and on

In this heartland

In this heartland

In this heartland

Heaven knows

This is a heartland.

Smashing Pumpkins - Slow Dawn

Midnight people

Rushing for a downtown train

Watching and wasting away

Their hearts beat free

Cool frequency

And I don't know what it is

I'm gonna run the slow dawn

Seeking sigh, oh so faint

I'm gonna run the slow dawn awake

It's blessed undone

The songbirds all around

And I'm not sure what it is

But I'm sure that I could give it

Awake the slow dawn

Slow dawn moves by my side

Teach your silent sleep

Slow dawn

The midnight people

Washing down here, wasting way

They're gonna run the slow dawn awake

The slow dawn awake

The slow dawn awake

The slow dawn awake

Bauhaus - In The Night

In the night, in the chair

He sits there, he sits tight

No more cans, no more crime

See the place, see the time

You never know

He walks light, don't know how

Maybe now, in the night

Oh, I know, yes I know

There's no chat

He's for show

You never know

Sees the place and tries to get the time

He's slowly slipping into the slime

Can't inject into his veins

Blood and guff ooze out and stain

Cares not that he really bleeds

Death not hell is what he needs

Sees the place, checks the time

Some other place, some other time

You never know

Slipping up and down his writhing side

His eyes begin to ponder pride

Subjective pics of misled youth

Before him lies the dreadful truth

Undignifiled, Insignified

His wrist on to the razor slides

You never know

The Jesus And Mary Chain - She

She comes undone

Got no fix she had no fun

Tries to shoot holes in the sun

It's got her running

She comes complete

With a switchblade and her speed

But she can't take all this heat

It's got her hiding

But I just don't get her

No I just don't get her at all

She wants to break my fall

She doesn't speak at all

She spends her day

on her knees she likes to pray

You can always hear her say

That life means something

She spends her time

Out of space and out of line

Planning some unholy crime

That comes to nothing

She said

How do you think it feels
