Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - The Weeping Song

Go son, go down to the water

And see the women weeping there

Then go up into the mountains

The men, they are weeping too

Father, why are all the women weeping?

They are weeping for their men

Then why are all the men there weeping?

They are weeping back at them

This is a weeping song

A song in which to weep

While all the men and women sleep

This is a weeping song

But I won’t be weeping long

Father, why are all the children weeping?

They are merely crying son

O, are they merely crying, father?

Yes, true weeping is yet to come

This is a weeping song

A song in which to weep

While all the little children sleep

This is a weeping song

But I won’t be weeping long

O father, tell me, are you weeping?

Your face seems wet to touch

O then I’m so sorry, father

I never thought I hurt you so much

This is a weeping song

A song in which to weep

While we rock ourselves to sleep

This is a weeping song

But I won’t be weeping long

No, I won’t be weeping long

No, I won’t be weeping long

No, I won’t be weeping long

Ramones - California Sun

Well I'm going out west where I belong
Where the days are short and the nights are long

And I'll walk a little walk
I'll twist a little twist
I'll shimmy a little shimmy
I'll fly a little fly
Yea we're out there having fun in the warm California sun

Well, I'm going out west out on the coast
Where the California girls are really the most

Where they walk and I'll walk
They fish and I'll fish
They sin and I'll sin
They fly and I'll fly
Where they're out there having fun in the warm California sun

Well, the girls are frisky in old 'Frisco
A pretty little chick wherever you go

And they walk and I'll walk
They fish and I'll fish
They sin and I'll sin
They fly and I'll fly
Where they're out there having fun in the warm California sun

We're out there having fun, yeah, in the warm California sun

Pearl Jam - Down

Down. Fall by the wayside... no getting out...
Down. Cry me a river... dried up and dammed.
The names can be changed... but the place is still the same.
I am loaded. Told that all's for naught. Holds me down.

Rise. Life is in motion. I'm stuck in line.
Oh rise. You can't be neutral on a moving train.
One day... the symptoms fade. Think I'll throw these pills away.
And if hope could grow from dirt like me. It can be done.

Won't let the light escape from me.
Won't let the darkness swallow me.

(So long)

Blur - Come Together

I don't understand
You're walking all over me
All over me to you
Well you must be mad
And you know you are
You should have known
I'd do anything for you

So why, why
Can't we come together? Why
Why, why
Can't we come together? Why

Inside my head
There's nothing left
It's all been taken out by you
And do I care?
Well you know I do
You should have known
I'd do anything for you

So why, why
Can't we come together? Why
Why, why
Can't we come together? Why

Now it's all been said
And you know it all
Then you should have known
I'd do anything for you

For you
For you
For you
For you

So why, why
Can't we come together? Why
Why, why
Can't we come together? Why

The Temper Trap - Everybody Leaves In The End

Do you remember when you were young

Chasing clouds down the rivers

Catching birds in the sun

You have surrendered life's better hours

In the deep lies your freedom

In the stars is your home

As we gather to see you go

Flowers scatter to let you know

Sons of the mountains cry in the vials

Warm and tender in her arms

So you'll stay though you're gone

As we gather to say goodbye

Until we see your face again

But seasons come you're going soon

Everybody leaves in the end

Do you remember, do you remember

No one way, no one can ever walk like you again

All the names left behind

Are standing mirrors of your eyes

No one will, not one name

Shall replace the wars that came

Held you tight, we held you tight

Everybody leaves in the end

Do you remember?

Placebo - Holocaust

Your eyes are almost dead
Can't get out of bed
And you can't sleep

You're sitting down to dress
And you're a mess
You look in the mirror

You look in your eyes
Then you realize

Everybody goes
Leaving those
Who fall behind

Everybody goes
As far as they can
They don't just care

They stood on the stairs
Laughing at your airs

Your mother's dead
She said, "Don't be afraid"
Your mother's dead
You're on your own
She's in her bed

They stood on the stairs
Laughing at your errors

Everybody goes
Leaving those
Who fall behind

Everybody goes
As far as they can
They don't just care

You're a wasted face
You're a sad-eyed lie
You're a holocaust

Nirvana - Downer

Portray sincerity

Act out of loyalty

Defend your free country

Wish away the pain

Hand out lobotomies

And save little families

Surrealistic fantasy

Bland, boring, plain!

Holy now is restitution

Living out your date with fusion

Is our whole fleece shun in bastard?

Don't feel guilty master writing

Somebody says that they're not much like I am, I know I can

Make enough up the words

As you go along, I sing a song

Sickening pessimist hypocrite master

Conservative Communist apocalyptic bastard

Thank you dear God for putting me on this Earth

I feel very privileged in debt for my thirst!

Holy now is restitution

Living out your date with fusion

Is our whole fleece shun in bastard?

Don't feel guilty master writing

Somebody says that they're not much like I am, I know I can

Make enough up the words

As you go along, I sing a song

Sonic Youth - Snare, Girl

I'm here for you, can't you see what I'm doing?

I bring you news from the kingdom

Of disciples in ruin

Behold a child has just been born

Into a life of secrets sworn

Hold out your hands

And take these palms I've been given

They are wild with beauty faded

And they can guide this child to heaven

So rest assured and understand

How harvest eyes renew your land

I'm here looking for you dear

If I could see clear

Through all the sun stained stations

It's all up in the air, girl

It's like a snare, girl

In all its manifestations

I'm here for you, can't you see what I'm saying?

I have palms from the ruins

Where disciples are straying

I'm coming after you with mercy given

Your secret's out, now you're forgiven

I'm here looking for you dear

Can't you see clear

All these sun stained stations

It's you under the stairs, girl

With a snare, girl

Sounding salutations

U2 - Neon Lights

Shimmering neon lights

And at the fall of night

This city’s made of lights

Neon lights

Shimmering neon lights

And at the fall of night

This city’s made of lights

(Shut that fool up)

(Shut up)

Neon lights

Shimmering neon lights

And at the fall of night

This city’s made of lights

Neon lights

Shimmering neon lights

And at the fall of night

This city’s made of lights

New Order - 586

I see danger

On the corner sent by me

Shadows the ways

Straight away you ran from me

I heard you calling

Yes, I heard you calling

I heard you calling

Yes, I heard you calling

I hear silence

I hear silence in my heart

From a distance

Turn your back and runfrom me

Heard you calling

Yes, I heard you calling

Heard you calling

Yes, I heard you calling

When it happens

You will be no friend of mine

Take the first chance

When I am no longer free

Heard you calling

Yes, I heard you calling

Heard you calling

Yes, I heard you calling

In the future

When you want me in your heart

I won't be there

If you call out in the dark

Heard you calling

Yes, I heard you calling

Heard you calling

Oh yes I heard you, heard you, heard you, heard you calling

Can you hear me deep inside

From these feelings I can't hide

Can you hear me deep inside

From these feelings I can't hide

Oh, can you hear me deep inside

From these feelings I can't hide

Can you hear me calling you

Can you hear me calling you

Can you hear me calling you

Can you hear me calling you
