Cat Power - Kingsport Town

The winter wind

Is blowing so strong

My hands have got

No gloves

Wish to my sole

That I could have

The boy I'm dreaming of

Don't you remember me, babe

I remember you quite well

Caused me to leave

All of New York town

With a high sheriff on my tail

A high sheriff on my tail, boys,

High sheriff on my trail.

All because I've fallen for

A curly headed dark-eyed boy

Who's gonna stroke

Your coal black hair

And your sandy colored skin

Who's gonna walk you side by side

And tell you everything is alright

Who's gonna look

You straight in the eye

And hold your bad luck hand

Who's gonna walk you

Who's gonna talk to you

And who's gonna be your woman

The winter wind

Is blowing so strong

My hands have got

No gloves

Don't you remember me, babe

I remember you quite well

(originally recorded by Bob Dylan)

Vampire Weekend - Holiday

Holiday, oh, a holiday

And the best one of the year

Dozing off underneath my sheets

While I cover both my ears

But if I wait for a holiday

Could it stop my fear?

To go away on a summer's day

Never seemed so clear

Holiday, still so far away

Our republic on the beach

I can't forget just how bad it gets

When I'm counting on my teeth

But if I wait for a holiday

Could it stop my fear?

To go away on a summer's day

Never seemed so clear

A vegetarian since the invasion

She'd never seen the word 'bombs'

She'd never seen the word 'bombs'

Blown up to 96-point Futura

She'd never seen an AK

In a yellowy Day-Glo display

A T-shirt so lovely, it turned all the history books grey

I got wheels, I got Cutter spray

And a healthy sense of worth

Half of me is the gasoline

But the other half's the surf

So if I wait for a holiday

Could it stop my fear?

To go away on a summer's day

Never seemed so clear

Blur - Oily Water

Lead in me and me in water

Dangling in my word

I swallowed too much oily water

It keeps slipping down my spine

In a sense of self decline

Growing fat on sound

It's only an early morning dream

And the whole world will be alright

My head is full of suspicion

I'm coming home sometime

I've swallowed too much oily water

It keeps slipping down my spine

In a sense of self in decline

Lying on my back

It's only an early morning dream

And so the whole world will be alright

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Not What You Wanted

You know you've got a lot to learn
You feel it but your heart won't burn
The fear is runnin' every nerve
Your turning to the ones you've hurt
Nothing ever satisfies
You're screamin' but your tongue's still tied
Starvin' but your love won't feed
Nothin' ever sets you free

You know you've got a long way down
You'll feel it when you hit the ground

It's not what you wanted
It's not what you came here for
This place just leaves you cold
Where nothing matters

Pinned inside the walls of sound
Reachin' but your hands are bound
Cryin' but your love's so sweet
Your singin' but your heart still weeps

And no one ever seems to care
Feels like she walks on air

It's not what you wanted
It's not what you came here for
This place just leaves you cold
Where nothing matters

I can't wait for time to save us
And I can't break your fall forever
'Cause you always take
You always take too much
You always take
You always take too much

It's not what you wanted
It's not what you came here for
This place just leaves you cold
Where nothing matters
It's not what you wanted

It's not what you came here for
This place just leaves you cold, where nothing matters

Bauhaus - Kingdom's Coming

Madness in the wind's got something to say

It ripped you apart

It will always be that way

It said kingdom's coming, causes chaos

Will cut to pieces

The film you saw today

It's your big bad secret

Your crown of thorns

The Gathering - On Delay

So I just found out you're leaving
And we are here to stay
Alone with all your laundry
My life put on delay

You put me on delay

And I panicked on the floor
And my heart dropped to the ground

So I pray, please just stay
Don't leave us here alone
You can't go, it's all wrong
I'm frozen to the bone

Don't leave us
Damn I cried

As always, I was sober
You drank your night away
I thought my life was over
Your show was far away

You left me on display
You put me on delay

And I panicked on the floor
And my heart dropped to the ground

So I pray, please just stay
Don't leave us here alone
You can't go, it's all wrong
I'm frozen to the bone

You took me off your list
Goddamn I cried
Not even bottom list
Your head was in the sand
Hoping it would pass
And it did pass

So I pray, please stay
Don't leave us here alone
You can't go, it's all wrong
I'm frozen to the bone

Marilyn Manson - Coma White

There's something cold and blank

Behind her smile

She's standing on an overpass

In her miracle mile

'Cause you were from a perfect world

A world that threw me away, today

Today, to run away

A pill to make you numb, a pill to make you dumb

A pill to make you anybody else

But all the drugs in this world

Won't save her from herself

Her mouth was an empty cut

And she was waiting to fall

Just bleeding like a Polaroid

That lost all her dolls

You were from a perfect world

A world that threw me away, today

Today, to run away

A pill to make you numb, a pill to make you dumb

A pill to make you anybody else

But all the drugs in this world

Won't save her from herself

A pill to make you numb, a pill to make you dumb

A pill to make you anybody else

But all the drugs in this world

Won't save her from herself

You were from a perfect world

A world that threw me away, today

A pill to make you numb, a pill to make you dumb

A pill to make you anybody else

But all the drugs in this world

Won't save her from herself

A pill to make you numb, a pill to make you dumb

A pill to make you anybody else

But all the drugs in this world

Won't save her from herself

Paradise Lost - Pray Nightfall

In my head this all is, In my head this all is

In my head this all is, In my head this all is

In my head…

I hold on tight for this mortal ride

Rest my head ’til the morning’s coming down on me

I realise my own sacrifice

Rest my head before somebody’s going out

In my head this all is, In my head this all is

In my head this all is, In my head this all is

In my head…

Pray nightfall release me

Then I could wander, Wander to deep sleep

Awake despite another mortal night

Rest my head for sun is shining down on me

I realise try to synchronize

Rest my head or somebody’s going down

In my head this all is, In my head this all is

In my head this all is, In my head this all is

In my head…

Pray nightfall release me

Then I could wander, Wander to deep sleep

Trying to make things work

Trying to make things right

Trying to make things work

Without serendipity in my life

It’s in my head…

Pray nightfall release me

Then I could wander, Wander to deep sleep

Iggy Pop - Home

I work so hard, so don't trip me up

Shakin' a leg like the tail o' the pup

I'm payin' dues till I register heat

Sure hope I don't end up on the street

Home, boy

Home, boy

Everybody needs a home

Home, boy

Home, boy

Everybody needs a home

So many people rise and fall

Who's lookin' after you at all?

Nobody knows anybody at all

Strangers in paradise down at the mall

Home, boy

Home, boy

Everybody needs a home

Home, boy

Home, boy

Everybody needs a home

The life we live is tricky tricky

I love my home, and my family

Who's gonna love you when the

Mountain gets steep?

We're gonna make it-in a Jeep

Anna Calvi - Wish

I got one more wish before I die
So please don't you stop me
No don't you stop me
I got one more wish before I die
So please don't you stop me
No don't you stop me

Like a mirror staring out to sea
My mind is free so please don't you stop me
No don't you stop me
I got one more wish before I die
So please don't you stop me
No don't you stop me

Cherie your eyes
Cherie your eyes
The streets go by
Cherie your eyes

I got one more wish before I die
I got one more wish before I die

Cherie your eyes
Cherie your eyes
The streets go by
Cherie your eyes

Cherie your eyes
Cherie your eyes
