New Order - Slow Jam

As I look at the morning sky

Today the wind is blowing hard

See that bird is floating high

Pretty soon it will be tired

I spent a day all by myself

A rich man without his wealth

Sometimes I get it wrong

But I'm not the only one

The afternoon was very clear

The sun was beating down on me

I got thirsty for a beer

That I had to go to sea

The sea was very rough

It made me feel sick

But I like that kind of stuff

It beats arithmetic

I don't want the world to change

I like the way it is

Just give me one more wish

I can't get enough of this

When it gets to be alive

And not just still survive

To hit and not to miss

I can't get enough of this

The early evening mists

Look beautiful to me

Was sweeter than a kiss

I wish you all could see

I'm a long long way from home

But this photograph of you

Even though it's monochrome

Tells me what I should do

So I got up on my feet

I knew it would be alright

For my clothes were looking beat

In the middle of the night

I don't want the world to change

I like the way it is

Just give me one more wish

I can't get enough of this

When it gets to be alive

And not just still survive

To hit and not to miss

I can't get enough of this

I don't want the world to change

I like the way it is

Just give me one more wish

I can't get enough of this

When it gets to be alive

And not just still survive

To hit and not to miss

I can't get enough of this

I can't get enough of this

I can't get enough of this

I can't get enough of this

I can't get enough of this

I can't get enough of this

I can't get enough of this

I can't get enough of this

I can't get enough of this

Temple Of The Dog - Pushin' Forward Back

Mother, mother found me on her step

Gracious mother held me to her breast

Until the day I started pushin'

Too late to cry, she turned away

I started pushin'

I saw no future in this lack

I started pushin' forward back

Baby brother clinging to her hair

Gracious, pleading not another

Soul to bare, he started pushin'

All my kings have fallen down

I started pushin'

Fallen heroes feed the ground

I started pushin' forward back

Falling down, now I know her

I know I'll never drown

I was pushin' forward back

Nirvana - Pennyroyal Tea

I'm on my time with everyone

I have very bad posture

Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea

Distill the life that's inside of me

Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea

I'm anemic royalty

Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld

So I can sigh eternally

I'm so tired I can't sleep

I'm a liar and a thief

Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea

I'm anemic royalty

I'm on warm milk and laxatives

Cherry-flavored antacids

Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea

Distill the life that's inside of me

Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea

I'm anemic royalty

God Is An Astronaut - Route 666

...

Bruce Springsteen - Badlands

Lights out tonight, trouble in the heartland

Got a head-on collision smashing in my guts man

I'm caught in a crossfire that I don't understand

But there's one thing I know for sure

Girl, I don't give a damn for the same old played out scenes

Baby, I don't give a damn for just the in-betweens

Honey, I want the heart, I want the soul, I want control right now

You better listen to me baby, talk about a dream, try to make it real

You wake up in the night with a fear so real

You spend your life waiting for a moment that just don't come

Well don't waste your time waiting

Badlands, you gotta live it every day

Let the broken hearts stand as the price you've gotta pay

We'll keep pushing till it's understood

And these badlands start treating us good

Working in the field till you get your back burned

Working 'neath the wheels till you get your facts learned

Baby, I got my facts learned real good right now

You better get it straight, darling

Poor man wanna be rich, rich man wanna be king

And a king ain't satisfied till he rules everything

I wanna go out tonight, I wanna find out what I got

Well I believe in the love that you gave me

I believe in the faith that could save me

I believe in the hope and I pray that some day it may raise me above these

Badlands, you gotta live it every day

Let the broken hearts stand as the price you've gotta pay

Keep pushing till it's understood

And these badlands start treating us good

Awhoa whoa whoa whoa

Mmmmmmmmm

Mmmmmmmmm

Mmmmmmmmm

Mmmmmmmmm

For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep inside

That it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive

I wanna find one face that ain't looking through me

I wanna find one place, I wanna spit in the face of these

Badlands, you gotta live it every day

Let the broken hearts stand as the price you've gotta pay

Keep moving till it's understood

And these badlands start treating us good

Awhoa whoa whoa whoa

Badlands, awhoa whoa whoa whoa

Badlands, awhoa whoa whoa whoa

Badlands, awhoa whoa whoa whoa

Badlands, awhoa whoa whoa whoa

Badlands, awhoa whoa whoa whoa

Badlands...

The Gathering - Probably Built In The Fifties [Demo]

I might be moving to the east
to part my ways
And I will try to get something
I don't have yet
If I do, I will look at it
for days and days
Unti I will never forget

I have heard this mental search
has made them all
take a look along the border
Having the urge
For their minds
to be lifted
to something new
I'm running to meet
my higher self

I trust the speed
Untill I have no need
to run anymore

Miles and miles I run

I hear my feet
And I hear myself breathe
heavily

I trust the speed
Untill I have no need
To run anymore

Miles and miles I run

Alanis Morissette - I Was Hoping

As we were talking outside, it was cold

We were shivering, yet warmed by the subject matter

“My wife is in the next room

We’ve been having troubles, you know

Please, don’t tell her or anyone, but I need to talk to somebody”

You said, “Wouldn’t it be a shame if I knew how great I was five minutes before I died?

I’d be filled with such regret before I took my last breath”

And I said, “You’re willing to tell me this now, and you’re not gonna to die any time soon”

And I said, “I haven’t been eating chicken or meat or anything”

And you said, “Yes, but you’ve been wearing leather”, and laughed and said, “We’re at the top of the food chain, and yes, you’re still a fine woman”

I cringed

I was hoping, I was hoping we could heal each other

I was hoping, I was hoping we could be raw together

We left the restaurant where the head waiter, in his 60s, said “Goodbye, sir

Thank you for your business, sir

You’re successful and established, sir

And we like the frequency with which you dine here, sir… and your money”

And when I walked by, they said, “Thank you too, dear”

I was all pigtails and cords, and there was a day when I would’ve said something like, “Hey, dude, I could buy and sell this place, so kiss it”

I too once thought I was owed something

I was hoping, I was hoping we could challenge each other

I was hoping, I was hoping we could crack each other up

I too thought that, when proved wrong, I lost somehow

And I too once thought life was cruel, and it’s a cycle, really

You think I’m withdrawing and guilt-tripping you

I think you’re insensitive, and I don’t feel heard

And I said, “Do you believe we are fundamentally judgmental, fundamentally evil?”, and you said, “Yes”

I said, “I don’t believe in revenge, in right or wrong, good or bad”

You said, “Well, what about that man that I saw handcuffed in the emergency room, bleeding after beating his kid, and she threw a shoe at his head? I think what he did was wrong and I would’ve had a hard time feeling compassion for him”

I had to watch my tone for fear of having you feel judged

I was hoping, I was hoping we could dance together

I was hoping, I was hoping we could be creamy together

Garbage feat. Screaming Females - Because the Night

Take me now baby here as I am

Pull me close, try and understand

Desire is a hunger it's the fire I breathe

Love is a banquet on which we feed

Come on now try and understand

The way I feel when I'm in your hands

Take my hand come undercover

They can't hurt you now

Can't hurt you now

Can't hurt you now

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to lust

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us

Have I doubt when I'm alone

Love is a ring, the telephone

Love is an angel disguised as lust

Here in our bed until the morning comes

Come on now try and understand

The way I feel under your command

Take my hand as the sun descends

They can't touch you now

Can't touch you now, can't hurt you now

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to lust

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us

With love we sleep

With doubt this vicious circle turns and burns

Without you I cannot live

Forgive the yearning burning

I believe it's time

Too real to feel

So touch me now

Touch me now

Touch me now

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to lust

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to lust

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us

(originally recorded by Patty Smith)

Smashing Pumpkins - Cyr

Fragments form the mind
Shadows hold the mist
Fractured as this wish
Shattered I resign
We're on the verge, we're on the verge
Of sacred dawning and sloe-sloe eyes

Say, I done told you
Say how I tried, too
Where you've wrought from creation's crown
Say, dire warning
Stare down your masters
With the promise of one and what you are
We're on the verge

Tangents vex the whorl
The void arrives, then leaves
Returning, returning a kiss
For lovers built the dream

Say, I done told you
Say how I tried, too
Where you've wrought from creation's crown
Say, dire warning
Stare down your masters
With the promise of one and what you are
We're on the verge

Did the times, wind
Did the crowd, kind
Aping youth, wise
Ever lost, ides
'Midst the chaff, as meek
And those weak, as sand
Turning glass upside down
For the hours should they pass

Say, I done told you
Say how I tried, too
Where you've wrought from creation's crown
Say, dire warning
Stare down your masters
With the promise of one and what you are
We're on the verge

(We're on the verge)
We're on the verge
We're on the verge
