Garbage - Butterfly Collector

So you finally got what you wanted
You've achieved your aim by making the walking lame
When you just can't get any higher
You use your senses to suss out this week's climber
And the small fame that you've acquired
Has brought political status
But to me you're still a collector

There's tarts and whores but you're much more
You're a different kind cause you want their minds
And you just don't care cause you've got no brains
It's just a face on your pillowcase that thrills you

And you've started looking much older
And your fashion sense is second rate like your perfume
But to you in your own little dream world
You're still the queen of the butterfly collectors

You carry on cause it's all you know
You can't light a fire, you can't cook or sew
You go from day to day by filling your head
But you surely must know the thrill between your legs has worn off

And I don't care about morals
Cause the world's insane and we're all to blame anyway
And I don't feel any sorrow
Towards the queens and kings of the butterfly collectors

There's tarts and whores but you're much more
You're a different kind cause you want their minds
And you just don't care cause you've got no brains
It's just a face on your pillowcase that thrills you

You carry on cause it's all you know
You can't light a fire, you can't cook or sew
You go from day to day by filling your head
But you surely must know the thrill between your legs has worn off

And I don't feel any sorrow
Towards the kings and queens of the butterfly collectors

U2 - Treason

You come to me when your voice is a whisper
Come to me on the corner of a breeze
You come to me because you cannot have her
You come to me only when you’re on your knees

I was naked when and you clothed me
A slave and you stole me
From the ones that couldn’t hold me
Who took our freedom away

I was empty and you filled me
Made a friend of my enemy
I was there but you could see things I couldn’t see

If you love life
And you give love
There’s nothing you’ll be needing
But if you have love and don’t give love
This is treason

You come to me where the waves are crashing
You come to me on the swell of the sea
You come to me when lightning is flashing
In the static electricity

I was the sun and the rain to you
The one who gave a new name to you
I was a vision that came to you
Now you can’t even see
You were jumping now your landin’
You were kneeling now you’re standin’
I’m not a child to abandon
So don’t abandon me

If you love life
And you give love
There’s nothing you’ll be needing
But if you have love and don’t give love
This is treason

Has your heart stopped the beating
This is treason.

Shadow-man, I'll-cage-us-in-a-mansion-in-the-open-air,
I-don’t-wanna-make-you-wanna-rush-you, no, way, now
Take it all I’m running also wanna see you there
You wanna fake it never dance, soul, mash-up
Who’d, you, want, it, love, hard-to-get,
I want me a better silhouette

Kool aid, we’re sippin in the coal mine
Mine some soul we’re living off coal
Slipping on my manischewitz,
Slamming down the soul of it
You wanna drill it in Alaska ka ka…
You-wanna
Cup, cake, says I, don’t, know…
You feelin’, walls are like balsawood
Game, show, shake your finger
Day-Glo she’s a ringer
Feed my my my my my soul
World in a fever she’s got the glow.

If you love life
And you give love
There’s nothing you’ll be needing
But if you have love and you don’t give love
This is treason
This is treason

The Vaccines - People's Republic Of Desire

Dancing on my own since you cut us in half
Moving 'round my mind like you're choreographed
Watching you relaxing at the end of the bed
Wishing you'd relax going 'round in my head
When you're really gone, then there'll be nothing to start
No planet big enough to fill the space in my heart
Don't pull us apart, don't pull us apart, don't pull us apart

Only know the moon 'cause I grew up with his sun
No one there was happy, but they're all having fun
Sometimes think the world is only turning on me
Knew right as I said it that you wouldn't agree
Kill the negativity with candles and sage
Work in perfect harmony for minimum wage
Make peace with my rage, make peace with my rage, make peace with my rage

Take a vow of devotion
And invade my emotion Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

We're guns for hire in the People's Republic of Desire
So hot, we start fires in the People's Republic of Desire
Leading suppliers to the People's Republic of Desire
We're frequent flyers to the People's Republic, the People's Republic

Went to bed with fear in its very long arms
Tried to fall asleep, felt like a fire alarm
Don't call it a comeback and don't call it a crush
Life can be amazing, but it's nothing on us
Someone call a doctor, I don't feel very well
There's no point in love if you've got no one to tell
I'm ringing my bell, I'm ringing my bell, I'm ringing my bell

Never gave the joke my permission to land
Thought that it was fresh, but all the laughter was canned
Humour doesn't travel, but it might need a break
The jokes are getting older, let's just get 'em a cake
Look into the future and there's nobody there
No one that can tell me that my life is unfair
Or answer my prayer, or answer my prayer, or answer my prayer

Take a vow of devotion
And invade my emotion
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

We're guns for hire in the People's Republic of Desire
So hot, we start fires in the People's Republic of Desire
Leading suppliers to the People's Republic of Desire
We're frequent flyers to the People's Republic, the People's Republic


We're guns for hire in the People's Republic of Desire
So hot, we start fires in the People's Republic of Desire
Leading suppliers to the People's Republic of Desire
We're frequent flyers to the People's Republic, the People's Republic

Take a vow of devotion
And invade my emotion
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Kasabian - Italian Horror

She loved Italian horror
She was the best and the worst of tomorrow
And now she’s looking for forgiveness
I can give her that
Oh I can give her that

She drink her wine in the morning
Sergio Martino on her necklace, keep it pouring
And now she wanna stay with me forever
I can give her that
I can give her that

You need saving from yourself
It’s the last time you get to climb down from the shelf

And all the faces come and go
When you find out you life’s a giallo horror show

She loved Italian horror
She was the best and the worst of tomorrow
And now she’s looking for forgiveness
I can give her that
Oh I can give her that

She’s on my mind
evyrehere I go
She’s breaking up
The stereo

I never her smile
Always running wild
Is the only way she knows

Marilyn Manson - Nod If You Understand

I need destruction
I want towers to crumble
Mothers tossing babies from the windows above

Who would wanna wake up if this is their world
Who would wanna wake up if this is their world

I need destruction

Mothers tossing babies from the windows above

Who would wanna wake up if this is their world
Who would wanna wake up if this is their world

I won't repent
This is what I was sent here for
No reason to ask forgiveness
Pain is the language that was spoken to me
And now it's my time to answer

Look at yourself for someone to blame
You're the only one who should be ashamed

Look at yourself for someone to blame
You're the only one who should be ashamed

Stand in your lie
I'm a bomb in your building
No mercy
No pity
I don't care who survives

I'm a mistake that you can't unmake
Nod if you understand

I won't repent
This is what I was sent here for
No reason to ask forgiveness
Pain is the language that was spoken to me
Now it's my time to answer

Kim Deal - Disobedience

Burning away All energies fade To memories gone Like vibrations of a song You played for me
Can you hear me now? I'm white hot I'm burning out
I know what i want Till i'm thrown off I wanna ride on the ferris wheel
And a pop
Disobedience If this all we are I'm fucked
I go where i want While i'm still on the planet One day I'll take a ride On the radar and rock
Disobedience
If this is all there is
Burning away My cinder fades Accelerating high Some sizzle in your eye
I go where i want While I'm still on the planet One day I'll day I'll take a dive off the radar and rock
Disobedience
If this is all there is...

Soap&Skin - Pale Blue Eyes

Sometimes I feel so happy
Sometimes I feel so sad
Sometimes I feel so happy
But mostly you just make me mad
Baby, you just make me mad
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes

Thought of you as my mountaintop
Thought of you as my peak
Thought of you as everything
I've had but couldn't keep
I've had but couldn't keep
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes

If I could make the world as pure
And strange as what I see
I'd put you in the mirror
I put in front of me
I put in front of me
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes

Skip a life completely, stuff it in a cup
She said, money is like us in time
It lies but can't stand up
Down for you is up
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes

It was good what we did yesterday
And I'd do it once again
The fact that you are married
Only proves you're my best friend
But it's truly, truly, truly a sin
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes

(originally recorded by The Velvet Underground)

U2 - Miracle Drug

I want to trip inside your head
Spend the day there
To hear the things you haven't said
And see what you might see

I want to hear you when you call
Do you feel anything at all?
I want to see your thoughts take shape
And walk right out

Freedom has a scent
Like the top of a new born baby's head

The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough I'm not giving up
On a miracle drug

Of science and the human heart
There is no limit
There is no failure here sweetheart
Just when you quit

I am you and you are mine
Love makes nonsense of space
And time, will disappear
Love and logic keep us clear
Reason is on our side, love

The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough of romantic love
I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up
For a miracle, a miracle drug, a miracle drug

God I need your help tonight

Beneath the noise
Below the din
I hear a voice
It's whispering
In science and in medicine
I was a stranger
You took me in

The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough of romantic love
I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up
For a miracle, miracle drug

Miracle, miracle drug

MGMT - One Thing Left To Try

One thing left to try
See if you can make it
Before you choose the night
And the silence overtakes you
If you looked into the fire
And you had that conversation
Then there's one thing left to try
If you want to save your life

Fear is his name but his friends still call him God
Again and again the thought remains
(The only way to get rid of the feeling...)

I don't wanna die!
Wishing I'd done something
Before then what's required
To last until the sunset
Because I don't wanna die
Thinking that I'm dreaming
There's one thing left to try
If you want to change your night

Today I left those thoughts behind, behind
Over and over
I've died just to feel alive

The only way to get rid of the feeling
You have to draw the line
And remember there's more than you see in your sight

Do you want to keep us alive?
Do you want to feel alive?
Do you want to keep us alive?
Do you want to feel alive?
Do you want to keep us alive?
Do you want to feel alive?
Do you want to keep us alive?
Do you want to feel alive?

(There's one thing left to try)
