"Careless Whispers", by George Michael



I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor.
As the music dies, something in your eyes
Calls to mind the silver screen
And all its sad good-byes

I'm never gonna dance again,
Guilty feet have got no rhythm,
Though it's easy to pretend,
I know you're not a fool.

Should've known better than to cheat a friend,
And waste the chance that I've been given.
So I'm never gonna dance again,
The way I danced with you.

Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend.
To the heart and mind,
Ignorance is kind.
There's no comfort in the truth,
Pain is all you'll find.

I'm never gonna dance again,
Guilty feet have got no rhythm,
Though it's easy to pretend,
I know you're not a fool.

Should've known better than to cheat a friend,
And waste the chance that I've been given.
So I'm never gonna dance again,
The way I danced with you.

Never without your love...

Tonight the music seems so loud,
I wish that we could lose this crowd.
Maybe it's better this way,
We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say.

We could have been so good together,
We could have lived this dance forever,
But noone's gonna dance with me.
Please stay!

And I'm never gonna dance again,
Guilty feet have got no rhythm,
Though it's easy to pretend,
I know you're not a fool.

Should've known better than to cheat a friend,
And waste the chance that I've been given.
So I'm never gonna dance again,
The way I danced with you.

Now that you're gone
What I did so wrong,
that you had to leave me alone

Helena Beat
Foster the People

Sometimes life it takes you by the hand.
It pulls you down before you know it
It’s gone and you’re dead again.
I’ve been in places and I won’t pretend
Yeah I'd make it out just to fall on my head
Wake up strange and take the walk downstairs
Hit the pawn up on the corner and pay for my rent
You know that I could not believe my own truth
Just show them what I choose, got nothing to lose

Yeah yeah and it’s O.K.
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don’t fall that way.
Yeah yeah and I’m alright.
I took a sip of something poison but I’ll hold on tight.

You know those days when you want to just choose
To not get out of bed, you're lost in your head again.
You play the game but you kind of cut
’Cause you’re coming down hard and your joints are all stuck.
I tried to say that’s not the only way I never knew if I could face myself to change.
You were pacing I was insecure.
Slip and fall, I'm dodging calls, hug the prison I've been living in.

Yeah yeah and it’s O.K.
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don’t fall that way.
Yeah yeah and I’m alright.
I took a sip of something poison but I’ll hold on tight.

"'81," by Joanna Newsom

I found a little plot of land
in the garden of eden
it was dirt and dirt is all the same

I tilled it with my two hands
and I called it my very own
There was no one to dispute my claim

Well, you'd be shocked at the state of things
The whole place had just cleared right out
It was hotter than hell, so I lay me by a spring
For a spell as naked as a trout

The wandering eye that I have caught
Is as hot as a wandering sun
But I will want for nothing more, in the garden
To start again
In the hardening of every new heart but one

Meet me in the garden of Eden,
Bring a friend, we are going to have a time
We have are going to have a garden party,
It's on me, no sir-e, it's my dime

We broke out hearts in the war between
St. George and the dragon
But both in equal parts are welcome to come along
To come along, I'm inviting everyone

Farewell, to loves that i have known
Even muddiest as waters run
Tell me what is meant by sitting alone in a garden,
Seceded from the Union in the year of '81?

The unending amends you made
Are enough for one life, be done
I believe in innocence, little darling, start again
I believe in everyone

I believe, regardless, I believe in everyone

"Tourist Trap," by Bright Eyes

It's not the road we used to know
They tore some buildings down
The traffic's like a pack of dogs

There's fewer trees, windows, fleas
There's concrete on the lawn
There's people here, but you are gone

And I find I'm still swimming through time
Afraid some days I've reached the shore

"Make yourself free"
Man said back to me
Now my heart is like an open door

And the road finally gave me back
But I don't think I'll unpack
Because I'm not sure if I live here anymore

It's not my weight that makes me faint
Or the sugar in my blood
But the way these strangers stand so close

They say my name like it's a guessing game
"Is that really you?"
No, I don't think it ever was

In the spring
When the world's turning green
I only think about the fall
The frets on the board
My progression of chords
Oh, how I want this to resolve

And the road finally gave me back
But I don't think I'll unpack
Because I'm not sure if I live here anymore

Now the road finally gave me back
But I don't think I'll unpack

Because I'm not sure if I live here
Not sure if I live here
Not sure if I live here
Anymore

"Ahead of the Curve," by Monsters of Folk

Another perfect day
They keep piling up
I got happiness
That I can't maintain, so beginner's luck

I had shoes to fill
Walking barefoot now
Can't tell north from south
But no split hair's gonna get me down

I'm staying above the flatline
I'm ahead of the curve
Take a piece of the sunshine with me
On a red eye flight to another world

It isn't any trouble
If you wanna come with me
I know it's out of the question, honey
But I sure could use the company
And a place to be

Now the sky is pink
Rooftop swimming pool
I'm not carefree, no
I'm free to care, I just never do

All the bags are checked
And the reasons why
Yesterday lingers on
That's the peace you keep when you say goodbye

You can get what you want now
Knock it out of the park
Bury it by the river
Easy, there's a search party
But it's getting dark

I won't hold you to nothing
I wanna make that plane
Probably end up a stranger, crazy
But I'm still hoping there's another way
And a place to stay

What a scene has got you sentimental
When the night comes, when the night comes loose
All the things you've put up on the mantle
What a shame, what a shame it's old news

I'm staying above the flatline
I'm ahead of the curve
Take a piece of the sunshine with me
On an all-night drive to another world

You can get what you want now
Knock it out of the park
Probably end up a drifter, lonely
But I'm still hoping for a change of heart
And a place, a place, a place to start

"Old Soul Song (For the New World Order)," by Bright Eyes

Grey light, new day leaks through the window
And some old soul song comes on the alarm clock radio
We walk the forty blocks to the middle
Of the place we heard where everything would be
And there were barracades to keep us off the street
But the crowd kept pushing forward
Until they swallowed the police
Yeah, they went wild
Yeah, they went wild
Yeah, they went wild

We left before the dust had time to settle
And all the broken glass swept off the avenue
And on the way home I held your camera like a bible
Just wishing so bad that it held some kind of truth
And I stood nervous next to you in the dark room
You dropped the paper in the water
And it all begins to bloom
Yeah, they go wild
Yeah, they go wild
Yeah, they go wild
Yeah, they go wild

And just when I get so lonesome I can't speak
I see some flowers on a hillside
Like a wall of new TVs
Yeah, they go wild

"Bookends," by Simon and Garfunkel
Time it was and what a time it was, it was
A time of innocence a time of confidences.

Long ago it must be, I have a photograph
Preserve your memories, they're all that's left you

"All I Want is You," by U2

You say you want
Diamonds in a ring of gold
You say you want
Your story to remain untold
But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

You say you'll give me
A highway with no one on it
A treasure just to look upon it
All the riches in the night

You say you'll give me
Eyes in a moon of blindness
A river in a time of dryness
A harbor in the tempest

But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

You say you want
Your love to work out right
To last with me through the night

You say you want
Diamonds in a ring of gold
Your story to remain untold
Your love not to grow cold

All the promises we break
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

All I want is you
All I want is you
All I want is you
You

"Soul Meets Body," by Death Cab For Cutie

I want to live where soul meets body
And let the sun wrap its arms around me
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing
And feel, feel what its like to be new

Cause in my head there's a greyhound station
Where I send my thoughts to far off destinations
So they may have a chance of finding a place
where they're far more suited than here

I cannot guess what we'll discover
Between the dirt with our palms cut like shovels
But I know our filthy hand can wash one another's
And not one speck will remain

I do believe it's true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
If the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So brown eyes I hold you near
Cause you're the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

Where soul meets body
Where soul meets body
Where soul meets body

I do believe it's true
That there are holes left in both of our shoes
If the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So brown eyes I hold you near
Cause you're the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

"Hit The Switch," by Bright Eyes

I'm staring out into that vacuum again
From the back porch of my mind
The only thing that's alive, I'm all there is
And I start attacking my vodka
Stab the ice with my straw
My eyes have turned red as stoplights
You seem ready to walk
You know I'll call you eventually
When I wanna talk, 'til then you're invisible

Cause there's this switch that gets hit
And it all stops making sense
And in the middle of drinks
Maybe the fifth or the sixth
I'm completely alone at a table of friends
I feel nothing for them
I feel nothing, nothing.

Well I need a break from the city again
I think I'll ship myself back west
I've got a friend there she says,
"Hey, anytime"
Unless that offer has expired
I have been less than frequent
She's under no obligation
To indulge every whim
And I'm so ungrateful, I take
She gives and forgives and I keep forgetting it

And each morning she wakes
With a dream to describe
Something lovely that bloomed
In her beautiful mind
I say, "I'll trade you one
For two nightmares of mine,
I have somewhere I die,
I have somewhere we all die"

I'm thinking of quitting drinking again
I know I've said that a couple of times
And I'm always changing my mind
Well I guess I am
But there's this burn in my stomach
And there's this pain in my side
And when I kneel at the toilet
And the morning's clean light
Pours in through the window
Sometimes I pray I don't die
I'm a goddamn hypocrite

But then night rolls around and it all starts making sense
There is no right way or wrong way, you just have to live
And so I do what I do, and at least I exist
What could mean more than this?
What would mean more, mean more?

"Temazcal," by Monsters of Folk

Putting on my power, righteous as a rose
Dynamite the mountain, now I'm walking up the road
Oh, love we made at gunpoint wasn't love at all
The dancing in the valley, the moons, the mirrored ball

Blew open my mind, now it's an empty room
Swinging in the hammock, dogs are walking across the roof
I watch you braid your hair, you're from another time
When the earth wasn't so angry and God was on our side

Searching west and east
All points in between
Underneath the lines of thought
You're there and then you're not

The Mayans stole tomorrow, hid it underground
We come with heavy magnets but it still hasn't been found
I'm sweating out my secrets in the temazcal
The screaming in the calle that there are stars about to fall

Looking through the trees
Cities and the seas
Things we see always on the line
They're there and then they're gone
They're there and then they're gone

Searching west and east
All points in between
Underneath the hand of God
You're there and then you're not
You're there and then you're not

"I Will Follow You Into The Dark," by Death Cab For Cutie

Love of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
'cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark

"Crooked Teeth," by Death Cab For Cutie

It was one hundred degrees
As we sat beneath a willow tree
Whose tears didn't care
They just hung in the air
And refused to fall, to fall

And I knew I'd made a horrible call
And now the state line felt
Like the Berlin wall
And there was no doubt
About which side I was on

'Cause I built you a home in my heart
With rotten wood, it decayed from the start

'Cause you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along
No you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along

I braved treacherous streets
And kids strung out
On homemade speed
And we shared a bed
In which I could not sleep at all

'Cause that night the sun in retreat
Made the skyline look
Like crooked teeth
In the mouth of a man
Who was devouring, us both

You're so cute when you're slurring your speech
But they're closing the bar and they want us to leave

And you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along
No you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along

I'm a war of head versus heart
And it's always this way
My head is weak, my heart always speaks
Before I know what it will say

And you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along
No you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along

And you can't find nothing at all
If there was nothing there all along
There were churches, theme parks and malls
But there was nothing there all along.

"April Come She Will," by Simon & Garfunkel

April, come she will
When streams are ripe and swelled with rain
May, she will stay
Resting in my arms again

June, she'll change her tune
In restless walks, she'll prowl the night
July, she will fly
And give no warning to her flight

August, die she must
The autumn winds blow chilly and cold
September, I'll remember
A love once new has now grown old

"Love Interruption," by Jack White

I want love
To roll me over slowly
stick a knife inside me,
and twist it all around.

I want love to
grab my fingers gently
slam them in a doorway
put my face into the ground.

I want love to
murder my own mother
and take her off to somewhere
like hell or up above.

I want love to
change my friends to enemies,
change my friends to enemies
and show me how it's all my fault.

I wont let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me
Yeah I wont let love disrupt, corrupt, or interrupt me anymore.

I want love to
walk right up and bite me
grab a hold of me and fight me
leave me dying on the ground.

And I want love to
split my mouth wide open and
cover up my ears,
and never let me hear a sound.

I want love to,
forget that you offended me
or how you have defended me,
when everybody tore me down.

Yeah I want love to
change my friends to enemies,
change my friends to enemies
and show me how it's all my fault.

Yeah I wont let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me
I wont let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me
I wont let love disrupt, corrupt, or interrupt me anymore.

"Splendor In The Grass" by Pink Martini

I can see you're thinking baby
I've been thinking too
About the way we used to be
And how to start a new

Maybe I'm a hopeless dreamer
Maybe I've got it wrong
But I'm going where the grass is green
If you'd like to come along

Back when I was starting out
I always wanted more
But everytime I got it
I still felt just like before

Fortune is a fickle friend
I'm tired of chasing fate
And when I look into your eyes
I know you feel the same

All these years of living large
Are starting to do a sin
I won't say it wasn't fun
But now it has to end

Life is moving oh so fast
I think we should take it slow
Rest our heads upon the grass
And listen to it grow

Going where the hills are green
And the cars are few and far
Days are full of splendor
And at night you can see the stars

Life is moving oh so fast
I think we should take it slow
Rest our heads upon the grass
And listen to it grow

The Trial Before Pilate Including the Thirty-Nine Lashes by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tom Rice from Jesus Christ Superstar

Don't let me stop your great self-destruction. Die if you want to, you misguided martyr. I wash my hands of your demolition. Die if you want to, you innocent puppet.

Just Like You by Three Days Grace

I could be mean
I could be angry
You know I could be just like you

I could be fake
I could be stupid
You know I could be just like you

You thought you were standing beside me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you

You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you

I could be cold
I could be ruthless
You know I could be just like you

I could be weak
I could be senseless
You know I could be just like you

You thought you were standing beside me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you

You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you

On my own, cause I can't take living with you
I'm alone, so I won't turn out like you
Want me to

You thought you were standing beside me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you

You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you

I could be mean
I could be angry
You know I could be just like you

Dirty Little Secret by The All-American Rejects

Let me know that I've done wrong
When I've known this all along
I go around a time or two
Just to waste my time with you

Tell me all that you've thrown away
Find out games you don't wanna play
You are the only one that needs to know

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret

Who has to know
When we live such fragile lives
It's the best way we survive
I go around a time or two
Just to waste my time with you

Tell me all that you've thrown away
Find out games you don't wanna play
You are the only one that needs to know

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret

Who has to know
The way she feels inside (inside)
Those thoughts I can't deny (deny)
These sleeping thoughts won't lie (won't lie)
And all I've tried to hide
It's eating me apart
Trace this life out

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret)

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret
Dirty little secret
Dirty little secret

Who has to know
Who has to know

"Follow Me," by John Denver

It's by far the hardest thing I've ever done
To be so in love with you and so alone

Follow me where I go
What I do and who I know
Make it part of you to be a part of me
Follow me up and down
All the way and all around
Take my hand and say you'll follow me

It's long been on my mind
You know it's been a long, long time
I've tried to find a way that I could make you understand
The way I feel about you
And just how much I need you
To be there where I can talk to you
When there's no one else around

Follow me where I go
What I do and who I know
Make it part of you to be a part of me
Follow me up and down
All the way and all around
Take my hand and say you'll follow me

See, I'd like to share my life with you
And show you things I've seen
The places that I'm going to
The places where I've been
To have you there beside me
And never be alone
All the time when you're with me
We will be at home

Follow me where I go
What I do and who I know
Make it part of you to be a part of me
Follow me up and down
All the way
Take my hand and I will follow you

"A Perfect Sonnet," by Bright Eyes

Lately I've been wishing I had one desire,
Something that would make me never want another,
Something that would make it so that nothing matters,
All would be clearer then

But I guess I'll have to settle for a few brief moments,
And watch it all dissolve into a single second,
And try to write it down into a perfect sonnet,
Or one foolish line

'Cause that's all that you'll get,
So you'll have to accept,
You are here ,
Then you're gone

I believe that lovers should be tied together,
Thrown into the ocean in the worst of weather,
Left there to drown,
Left there to drown in their innocence

But as for me I'm coming to the final chapter,
I've read all of the pages and there's still no answer,
The only words before I know will soon come after,
It’s the only way it can be.

So I stand in the sun,
And I breathe with my lungs,
Trying to spare me the weight of the truth,

Seeing everything you've ever seen was just a mirror,
Spend your whole life sweating in an endless fever,
Laying in a bathtub full of freezing water,
Wishing you were a ghost

But once you knew a girl and you named her Lover,
And danced with her in kitchens through the greenest summers
But autumn came,
She disappeared,
You can't remember
Where she said she was going to

But you know that she's gone,
'Cause she left you a song,
That you don't wanna sing

I believe that lovers should be chained together,
Thrown into a fire with their songs and letters,
And left there to burn,
Left there to burn in their arrogance

But as for me I'm coming to my final failure,
I've killed myself with changes trying to make things better,
But still ended up becoming something other,
Than what I had planned to be

All right!

Now I believe that lovers should be draped in flowers,
And laid entwined together on a bed of clover,
And left there to sleep,
Left there to dream of their happiness.

"We Used To Vacation," by Cold War Kids

I kissed the kids at noon
then stumbled out the room
I caught a cab
ran up a tab
on 7th and flower

best recital I had to ruin
missed my son's graduation
punched the Nickles boy
for taking his seat
gets all that anger from me

still things could be much worse
natural disasters on the evening news
still things could be much worse
we still got our health
my paycheck in the mail

I promised to my wife and children
I'd never touch another drink
as long as I live
but even then
it sounds so soothing
this will blow over in time
this will all blow over in time

I'm just an honest man
provide for me and mine
I give a check to tax deductable
charity organizations
two weks paid vacation
won't heal the damage done
I need another one

still things could be much worse
natural disasters on the evening news
still things could be much worse
we still got our health
my paycheck in the mail

I promised to my wife and children
I'd never touch another drink
as long as I live
but even then
it sounds so soothing
to mix a gin
and sink into oblivion

I promised to my wife and children
that accident left everyone a little shook up
but at the meetings
I felt so empty
this will blow over in time
this will all blow over in time

"80 Miles," by Washington

Why do I see stars at night?
Everyone else sees the light
And how did I come this far?
I'm sure that I can't fly

Why did you say that to me?
80 miles out on the sea
And I am built with parts of you
And you are built with parts of me

I think it's strange that the weather doesn't change
You are beside me
When you are beside of me
I make my plans, but they don't stay the same
When you are beside me
When you are beside me

Oh sailor, oh sailor
Take the wheel
Oh sailor, don't measure how I feel

Dance around the fire
Dance around the flame
We settle on the wire
We settle on my name

Take me with you when you go
Now that I know what I know
Cross the waves
Blow the windy tides
Goes so slow

Double post!

"Swans and the Swimming," by Iron & Wine

"Take me again," she said, thinking of him
"To the pond with the swans and the swimming."
Far from his room, the familiar perfume
How it left her aware she was naked

The lesson she learned when her memory serves
Is to marvel with love at the sunset
And walking away at the dark end of day
She will measure and break like a habit

Oh, how the rain sounds as loud as a lover's words
And now and again she's afraid when the sun returns

"Take me again," she said, thinking of him
"I don't care for this careful behavior."
A brush through her hair, children kissing upstairs
Keeps her up with her want for her savior

The sun on the sand, on her hands and her knees
As she begs for her fish from the water
But turned them away, she's a whip and a slave
Given time, she may find something better

Oh, how the rain sounds as loud as a lover's words
And now and again she's afraid when the sun returns

"Lua," by Bright Eyes

I know that it is freezing but I think we have to walk
I keep waving at the taxis; they keep turning their lights off
But Julie knows a party at some actor’s west side loft
Supplies are endless in the evening; by the morning they’ll be gone.

When everything is lonely I can be my own best friend
I get a coffee and the paper; have my own conversations
With the sidewalk and the pigeons and my window reflection
The mask I polish in the evening, by the morning looks like shit.

And I know you have a heavy heart; I can feel it when we kiss
So many men stronger than me have thrown their backs out trying to lift it
But me I’m not a gamble you can count on me to split
The love I sell you in the evening, by the morning won’t exist.

You’re looking skinny like a model with your eyes all painted black
You just keep going to the bathroom always say you’ll be right back
Well it takes one to know one, kid, I think you’ve got it bad
But what’s so easy in the evening, by the morning is such a drag.

I’ve got a flask inside my pocket we can share it on the train
If you promise to stay conscious I will try and do the same
We might die from medication, but we sure killed all the pain
But what was normal in the evening, by the morning seems insane.

And I’m not sure what the trouble was that started all of this
The reasons all have run away but the feeling never did
It’s not something I would recommend, but it is one way to live
Cause what is simple in the moonlight, by the morning never is
What’s so simple in the moonlight, now is so complicated
What’s so simple in the moonlight, so simple in the moonlight

To point out my mistakes
And shove them in my face
It's like I'm the one
You love to hate
But not today...

So shut up, shut up, shut up
Don't wanna hear it

I don't want to waste my time
I'll watch you fade away

You won't bring me
Shut up, shut up, shut up!

No Love by Simple Plan

Staring out into the world across the street
You hate the way your life turned out to be
He’s pulling up in the driveway and you don’t make a sound
'Cause you always learned to hold the things you want to say
You’re always gonna be afraid

There’s only hate
There’s only tears
There’s only pain
There is no love here
So what will you do?

There’s only lies
There’s only fears
There’s only pain
There is no love here

Broken down like a mirror smashed to pieces
You learned the hard way to shut your mouth and smile
And if these walls could talk, they would have so much to say
'Cause every time you fight the scars are gonna heal
But they’re never gonna go away

There’s only hate
There’s only tears
There’s only pain
There is no love here
So what will you do?

There’s only lies
There’s only fears
There’s only pain
There is no love here
So what will you do?

You’re falling
You’re screaming
You’re stuck in the same old nightmare
He’s lying
You’re crying
There’s nothing left to salvage

Kick the door cause this is over
Get me out of here
Kick the door

There’s only hate
There’s only tears
There’s only pain
There is no love here
So what will you do?

There’s only lies
There’s only fears
There’s only pain
There is no love here
Tell me what will you do

There’s only hate
There’s only tears
There’s only pain
There is no love here

Would You Love A Monsterman by Lordi

Would you love a monsterman?
Could you understand the beauty of the beast?

Fire at will - yeah, I would kill
Yeah, I would freeze the hell all over just to get a chill
Yeah, I would slay - Yeah, I would maim
Yeah, I would vanish in thin air and reappear again
Be right in the squares, yeah, I would be sincere
Yeah, I would lie, Yeah, I would lie
Yeah, I would be there waking up the dead to get a thrill
I say yeah - I say yeah

Would you love a monsterman?
Could you understand the beauty of the beast?
I would do it all for you, would you do it all?
Do it all for me?

Take your time - you'll be fine
Yeah, there is nothing wrong with this
you ain't commit no crime
You don't know why it passed you by
You search for something never found
Along these lines
Someday you may turn around and terrify
You can't deny - You crucify
Would you get down in the gutter?
Swallowing your pride?
I say yeah - I say yeah

Would you love a monsterman?
Could you understand the beauty of the beast?
I would do it all for you, would you do it all?
Do it all for me?

All that you get is much less
Than you deserve
Leaving for now
Someday I may return
Yeah!

Would you love a monsterman?

Would you love a monsterman?
Could you understand the beauty of the beast?
I would do it all for you, would you do it all?
Do it all for me?

Would you love a monsterman?
Could you understand the beauty of the beast?
I would do it all for you, would you do it all?
Do it all for me?

Yeah!

Monsters Keep Me Company by Lordi

If the sun comes up tomorrow
It would see a sight so sad
The Moon is still smiling on me
Right up until dawn

I'm drowning in hate and sorrow
But nothing is quite that bad
There still might be something for me
Before I am gone

And I'm not fooling no one
I know you think you'd win
But I won't pay for your sins

My monsters keep me company
And I'll never be lonely
They will keep me safe
Protected from harm
Monsters keep me company
Until I will set them free

I can't believe what I'm thinking
That this dream of me could die
I cannot see how anything
Can ever be fine

I never wanted to be your hero
I just did it to please myself
And now you put me back under zero
Not to come back again

And I'm not fooling no one
I know you think you'd win
But I won't pay for your sins

My monsters keep me company
And I'll never be lonely
They will keep me safe
Protected from harm
Monsters keep me company
Until I will set them free

Someday I'll come back again...
Damn right I'll come back

"Another Travelin' Song," by Bright Eyes

Well I’m changing all my strings
I’m gonna write another traveling song
About all the billion highways and the cities at the break of dawn
Well I guess the best that I can do now is pretend that I’ve done nothing wrong
And to dream about a train that’s gonna take me back where I belong

Well now the ocean speaks and spits and I can hear it from the interstate
And I’m screaming at my brother on a cell phone he’s far away
I’m saying nothing in the past or future ever will feel like today
Until we’re parking in an alley
Just hoping that our shit is safe

So I go back and forth forever
All my thoughts they come in pairs
Oh I will, I won't, I doubt I don't
I’m not surprised but I never feel quite prepared

Now I’m hunched over a typewriter
I guess you call that painting in a cave
And there’s a word I can’t remember
And a feeling I cannot escape
And now my ashtray's overflowing
I’m still staring at a clean white page
Oh and morning's at my window
She is sending me to bed again

Well I dream of dark on the horizon
I dream a desert where the dead lay down
I dream a prostituted child touching an old man in a fast food crowd
Oh yeah, I dreamt a ship was sinking
There was people screaming all around
And I awoke to my alarm clock
It was a pop song, it was playing loud

So I will find my fears and face them
Or I will cower like a dog
I will kick and scream or kneel and plead
I’ll fight like hell to hide that I’ve given up

"I'm Going to Stop Pretending that I Didn't Break Your Heart," by Eels

I'm gonna tell you what you need to hear
And I'm a little too late
By three or four years
And it may not make much sense
Now that we are apart
But I'm going to stop pretending
That I didn't break your heart

You see I never thought enough of myself
To realize that losing me could mean
Something like the tears in your eyes
And I want to tell you I'm sorry
And it's too late to start
But I'm going to stop pretending
That I didn't break your heart

And it's christmas eve
Years down the line
Sitting here wishing I'd treated you better
When you were mine
And I have no way of knowing where you are
But I'm going to stop pretending
That I didn't break your heart

I didn't mean to hurt you
I didn't know what I was doing
But I know what I have done

Double posting!

"On The Radio," by Regina Spektor

This is how it works
It feels a little worse
Than when we drove our hearse
Right through that screaming crowd
While laughing up a storm
Until we were just bone
Until it got so warm
That none of us could sleep
And all the styrofoam
Began to melt away
We tried to find some worms
To aid in the decay
But none of them were home
Inside their catacomb
A million ancient bees
Began to sting our knees
While we were on our knees
Praying that disease
Would leave the ones we love
And never come again

On the radio
We heard November Rain
That solo's really long
But it's a pretty song
We listened to it twice
'Cause the DJ was asleep

This is how it works
You're young until you're not
You love until you don't
You try until you can't
You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath

No, this is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone else's heart
Pumping someone else's blood
And walking arm in arm
You hope it don't get harmed
But even if it does
You'll just do it all again

And on the radio
You hear November Rain
That solo's awful long
But it's a good refrain
You listen to it twice
'Cause the DJ is asleep
On the radio
(oh oh oh)
On the radio
On the radio - uh oh
On the radio - uh oh
On the radio - uh oh
On the radio

"Yellow Light," by Of Monsters and Men

I'm looking for a place to start
And everything feels so different now
Just grab a hold of my hand
I will lead you through this wonderland

Water up to my knees
But sharks are swimming in the sea
Just follow my yellow light
And ignore all those big warning signs

Somewhere deep in the dark
A howling beast hears us talk
I dare you to close your eyes
And see all the colours in disguise

Running into the night
The earth is shaking and I see a light
The light is blinding my eyes
As the soft walls eat us alive

"If She Wants Me," by Belle and Sebastian

I wrote a letter on a nothing day
I asked somebody 'Could you send my letter away'?
'You are too young to put all of your hopes in just one envelope'

I said goodbye to someone that I love
It's not just me, I tell you it's the both of us
And it was hard
Like coming off the pills that you take to stay happy

Someone above has seen me do alright
Someone above is looking with a tender eye
Upon your face, you may think you're alone but you may think again

If I could do just one near perfect thing I'd be happy
They'd write it on my grave, or when they scattered my ashes
On second thoughts I'd rather hang about and be there with my best friend
If she wants me

And far away somebody read the letter
He condescends to read the words I wrote about him
And if he smiles, it's no more than a genius deserves
For all your curious nerve and your passion

I'm going deaf, you're growing melancholy
Things fall apart, I don't know why we bother at all
But life is good and it's always worth living at least for a while

If I could do just one near perfect thing I'd be happy
They'd write it on my grave, or when they scattered my ashes
On second thoughts I'd rather hang about and be there with my best friend
If she wants me

If you think to yourself 'What should I do now'?
Then take the baton, girl, you better run with it
Because there is no point in standing in the past cause it's over and done with

I took a book and went into the forest
I climbed the hill, I wanted to look down on you
But all I saw was twenty miles of wilderness so I went home

If I could do just one near perfect thing I'd be happy
They'd write it on my grave, or when they scattered my ashes
On second thoughts I'd rather hang about and be there with my best friend
If she wants me

Abba -- Chiquitita
Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong?
You're enchained by your own sorrow,
In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow.
How I hate to see you like this,
There is no way you can deny it,
I can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet.

Chiquitita, tell me the truth,
I'm a shoulder you can cry on,
Your best friend, I'm the one you must rely on.
You were always sure of yourself,
Now I see you've broken a feather,
I hope we can patch it up together.

Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go
And the scars they're leaving
You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end,
You will have no time for grieving.

Chiquitita, you and I cry,
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you!
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before,
Sing a new song, Chiquitita.
Try once more like you did before,
Sing a new song, Chiquitita.

So the walls came tumbling down,
And your love's a blown out candle,
All is gone and it seems too hard to handle,
Chiquitita, tell me the truth,
There is no way you can deny it,
I see that you're oh so sad, so quiet.

Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go,
And the scars they're leaving.
You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end,
You will have no time for grieving.

Chiquitita, you and I cry,
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you!
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita.
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita.

Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita.

"This is the First Day of My Life," by Bright Eyes

This is the first day of my life
I swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed
They're spreading blankets on the beach

Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
Now I don’t know where I am
I don’t know where I’ve been
But I know where I want to go

And so I thought I’d let you know
That these things take forever
I especially am slow
But I realize that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home

Remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange you said everything changed
You felt as if you'd just woke up
And you said “This is the first day of my life
I’m glad I didn’t die before I met you
But now I don’t care I could go anywhere with you
And I’d probably be happy”

So if you want to be with me
With these things there’s no telling
We just have to wait and see
But I’d rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery
Besides maybe this time is different
I mean I really think you like me

First one: "Exit Music (For a Film)" by Radiohead

Wake.. from your sleep
The drying of your tears
Today we escape, we escape

Pack.. and get dressed
Before your father hears us
Before all hell breaks loose

Breathe, keep breathing
Don't lose your nerve
Breathe, keep breathing
I can't do this alone

Sing.. us a song
A song to keep us warm
There's such a chill, such a chill

You can laugh
A spineless laugh
We hope your rules and wisdom choke you
Now we are one in everlasting peace

We hope that you choke, that you choke
We hope that you choke, that you choke
We hope that you choke, that you choke


Second one: "Creep" by Radiohead

When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so fucking special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice when I'm not around
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell I'm doing here?
I don't belong here

She's running out the door
She's running out
She runs runs runs

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here

"Talk Tonight", by Oasis

Sittin' on my own
Chewin' on a bone
A thousand million miles from home
When Something hit me
Somewhere right between the eyes

Sleepin' on a plane
You know you can't complain
You took your last chance once again
I landed, stranded
Hardly even knew your name

I wanna talk tonight
Until the mornin' light
'Bout how you saved my life
You and me see how we are
You and me see how we are

All your dreams are made
Of strawberry lemonade
And you make sure I eat today
You take me walking
To where you played when you were young

I'll never say that I won't ever make you cry
And this I'll say I don't know why
I know I'm leavin'
But I'll be back another day

I wanna talk tonight
Until the mornin' light
'Bout how you saved my life (You saved my life)
I wanna talk tonight (I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life (I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life (I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life (I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life (I wanna talk tonight)

I wanna talk tonight
I wanna talk tonight
I wanna talk tonight

Doubling posting (and with another Oasis song as well)!

"Half the World Away," by Oasis

I would like to leave this city
This old town don't smell too pretty and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
And when I leave this island I'll book myself into a soul asylum
Cos I can feel the warning signs running around my mind

So here I go, I'm still scratching around in the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind is very old
So what do you say?
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You're half the world away
Half the world away
Half the world away
I've been lost, I've been found but I don't feel down.

And when I leave this planet
You know I'd stay but I just can't stand it and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
And if I could leave this spirit I'd find me a hole and I'll live in it and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind

Here I go, i'm still scratching around in the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind is very old
So what do you say?
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You're half the world away
Half the world away
Half the world away
I've been lost, I've been found but I don't feel down
No I don't feel down
No I don't feel down

I don't feel down
I don't feel down
I don't feel down
I don't feel down

Hmmmm ... Hmmmm ... Hmmmm ... Hmmm ...

When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
There's so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find

'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, I won't give up

I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools and gifts we got yeah, we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not
And who I am

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
Still looking up.

I won't give up on us (no I'm not giving up)
God knows I'm tough enough (I am tough, I am loved)
We've got a lot to learn (we're alive, we are loved)
God knows we're worth it (and we're worth it)

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

"The Melody of a Fallen Tree," by Windsor For the Derby

Underneath the leaves where the blackbirds turn blue
If there's room for me, there's room for you
Place your ear to the ground, you hear a voice
It sings this song the whole night long

I am the melody of the fallen tree
What comes between you and me
So sadly transient, you'd never guess
It could ever be so easy to see

Across a frozen field, you hear a call
With the urgency of the boiling sea
All your hopes and dreams, they rise and fall
Secretly a cacophony

The life and brutality, they all turn on me
You hope to someday see patiently
So sadly obvious, you'd never guess
It could ever be so hard to see

"Drop Out - The So Unknown," by Jack's Mannequin.

I'll give you this confession
I am taking you with me
Where we can contemplate our chemistry

And your eyes were lined with questions
With the blood rushing to waste
To take this feeling with us to our graves
To our graves

I get the feeling we're so misdirected
I get the feeling we have lost control
Til then I'll turn you to the new religion
We're dropping out into the so unknown
So unknown, yeah.

And we won't wake up on Sunday
So I'm building us a church
Where we can sleep in
With the gods at work

And our friends will write us letters
They'll never understand why we don't call
We're hiding out until the empire falls
Let it fall.

I get the feeling we're so misdirected
I get the feeling we have lost control
Til then I'll turn you to the new religion
We're dropping out into the so unknown

If we have lost control,
We're drifting slow
Into the so unknown

If we have lost control,
We're drifting slow
So we drop out

And I'll give you this confession,
I am taking you with me.

I get the feeling we're so misdirected
I get the feeling we have lost control
Til then I'll turn you to the new religion
We're dropping out into the so unknown

I get the feeling we got disconnected
I get the feeling we have lost control
Til then I'll turn you to the new religion
We're dropping out into the so unknown

You're so unknown, yeah
We're so unknown
The so unknown, yeah.

"Trouble Sleeping," by The Perishers

I’m having trouble sleepin'
You’re jumpin' in my bed
Twistin' in my head, leave me

I’m having trouble breathin'
You’re sittin' on my chest
I sure could use the rest, leave me

It’s you, why’s it always you and never me?
I've never dared to let my feelings free
Why’s it always you and never me?
I've never cared too much about honesty

I’m having trouble sleepin'
I’m thinkin' of what you said
About the tears been shed, leave me

It’s you, why’s it always you and never me?
I've never dared to let my feelings free
Why’s it always you and never me?
I've never cared too much about honesty

It’s you, now and always you but never me
I've never dared to let my feelings free
Why’s it always you and never me?
I've never cared too much about honesty

Sara Bareilles - Gravity Lyrics

Something always brings me back to you
It never takes too long
No matter what I say or do
I still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone

You hold me without touch
You keep me without chains
I never wanted anything so much
Than to drown in your love and not feel your rain

Set me free, leave me be
I don't wanna fall another moment into your gravity
Here I am and I stand so tall
I'm just the way I'm supposed to be
But you're on to me and all over me

You loved me 'cause I'm fragile
When I thought that I was strong
But you touch me for a little while
And all my fragile strength is gone

Set me free, leave me be
I don't wanna fall another moment into your gravity
Here I am and I stand so tall
I'm just the way I'm supposed to be
But you're on to me and all over me

I live here on my knees
As I try to make you see
That you're everything I think I need
Here on the ground

But you're neither friend nor foe
Though I can't seem to let you go
The one thing that I still know
Is that you're keeping me down
You're keeping me down

You're on to me, on to me and all over
Something always brings me back to you
It never takes too long


*This song makes me sad and
Makes me want to cry, I so love it…
Sara Bareilles sings pretty Songs.
I think it’s about Her wanting Freedom.

Shy by Sonata Arctica

I can see how you are beautiful, can you feel my eyes on you?
I'm shy and turn my head away.
Working late in diner Citylite, I see that you get home alright,
Make sure that you can't see me, hoping you will see me.

Sometimes I'm wondering why you look at me and you blink your eye,
You can't be acting like my Dana (can you?).
I see you in Citylite diner serving all those meals and then,
I see reflection of me in your eye, oh please.

Talk to me, show some pity,
You touch me in many, many ways,
But I'm shy, can't you see?

Obsessed by you, your looks, well, anyway, "I would any day die for you"
I write on paper and erased away.
Still I sit in diner Citylite, drinking coffee or reading lies,
Turn my head and I can see you, could that really be you?

Sometimes I'm wondering why you look at me and you blink your eye,
You can't be acting like my Dana?
I see your beautiful smile and I would like to run away from
Reflections of me in your eyes, oh please.

Talk to me, show some pity,
You touch me in many, many ways,
But I'm shy, can't you see?

I see, can't have you, can't leave you there 'cause I must sometimes see you,
And I don't understand how you can keep me in chains,
And every waken hour, I feel you taking power from me and I can't leave,
Repeating the scenery over again.

Sometimes I'm wondering why you look at me and you blink your eye,
You can't be acting like my Dana?
I see your pityful smile and I would like to run away from,
Reflections of me in your eyes, oh please.

Talk to me, show some pity,
You touch me in many, many ways,
But I'm shy, can't you see?

Oh, baby, talk to me, show some pity,
You touch me in many, many ways,
But I'm shy, can't you-
I'm shy, can't you-
I'm shy, can't you see?

The Misery - Sonata Arctica

I write the lines you want me to,
With the words I dare to use of all the ones that you have taught me,
Along the years.

You cast a perfect shadow on the paper, fade away with sunlight,
I fear the way you know me, love can leave a stain ...

You steal my only hope and make me stay awake another night,
I wish you bear with me, stay near me,
When the Autumn leaves have fallen ...
Solitude, my pain, the last thing left of me ...

If you fall, I’ll catch, if you love, I’ll love,
And so it goes, my dear, don’t be scared, you’ll be safe,
This I swear, if you only love me.

Seven lonely lies written on Deadwinter’s night,
open the only book with the only poem I can read.
In blood I sign my name and seal the midnight with a tear,
burn the paper, every line, for them I cried …

If you fall, I’ll catch, if you love, I’ll love,
and so it goes, my dear, don’t be scared, you’ll be safe,
this I swear, if you only love me back.

I am the Playwriter, you are my Crown, make me cry for your love,
like you’ve done many times,
so I know I can’t write these storylines without you,
lady pain, make me strong, can’t we be together without them forever?

The words I write can only hurt you, sorry for the rain. Thank you,
my only one, you gave me this pain.
I leave you gently on the floor, take one step towards the door,
where’s the letter, never written, goodnight now …

If you fall, I’ll catch, if you love, I’ll love,
and so it goes, my dear, don’t be scared, you’ll be safe,
this I swear, if you only love me back.
If you only love me back.

(If you fall, I’ll catch, if you love, I’ll love,
and so it goes, my dear, don’t be scared, you’ll be safe,
this I swear.) If you only love me.

Down Goes Another One by McFly

Did the best that I could,
Said I'd die for you, and I would,
But I drowned all those feelings in the flood.

Need to know if you're there,
If you're listening to my prayers, to my tears,
Feel like raindrops through the mud.

How was I to know that a year ago I'd need to read between the lines?
And every lie and that's why ...

Every time I fall asleep, my dreams are haunted,
And every time I close my eyes, I'm not alone,
And every time I cry, I'm right back where you wanted.
I try to drown you out, so down goes another one.
(Down goes another one).
Down goes another one.
(Down goes another one).
Down goes another one.
(Down goes another one).

Living Fast,
Dying young,
But I'm living with what you've done,
Now I face accusations,
I won't run,
No.

I'm starting to remember things that you said,
I'm unravelling what they meant,
But the world moves on,
You're just another one.

And how can I go on?
'Cause when I'm in the sun, I see your shadow on the ground,
But you're never there when I turn around.

Every time I fall asleep, my dreams are haunted,
And every time I close my eyes, I'm not alone,
And every time I cry, I'm right back where you wanted.
I try to drown you out, so down goes another one.

And how can I go on?
'Cause when I'm in the sun, I see your shadow on the ground,
(Shadow on the ground).
But you're never there when I turn around.

'Cause every time I fall asleep, my dreams are haunted,
(My dreams are haunted),
And every time I close my eyes, I'm not alone,
And every time I cry, I'm right back where you wanted,
(Right back where you wanted).
I try to drown you out, so down goes another one.
(Hey).
Down goes another one.
(Down goes another one).
Down goes another one.
(Hey).
Down goes another one.
(Down goes another one).
Down goes another one.
Down goes another one.
(Down goes another one).
Down goes another one.

"Piazza, New York Catcher," by Belle & Sebastian

Elope with me Miss Private and we’ll sail around the world
I will be your Ferdinand and you my wayward girl
How many nights of talking in hotel rooms can you take?
How many nights of limping round on pagan holidays?
Oh elope with me in private and we’ll set something ablaze
A trail for the Devil to erase

San Francisco’s calling us, the Giants and Mets will play
Piazza, New York catcher, are you straight or are you gay?
We hung about the stadium, we’ve got no place to stay
We hung about the tenderloin and tenderly you tell about
The saddest book you ever had to read always makes you cry
The statue’s crying too and well he may

I love you I’ve a drowning grip on your adoring face
I love you, my responsibility has found a place
Beside you and strong warnings in the guise of gentle words
Come wave upon me from the family wider net absurd
“You’ll take care of her, I know it, you will do a better job”
Maybe, but not what she deserves

Elope with me Miss Private and we’ll drink ourselves awake
We’ll taste the coffee houses and award certificates
A privy seal to keep the feel of 1960 style
We’ll comment on the decor and we’ll help the passer by
And at dusk when work is over we’ll continue the debate
In a borrowed bedroom virginal and spare

The catcher hits for 318 and catches every day
The pitcher puts religion first and rests on holidays
He goes into cathedrals and lies prostrate on the floor
He knows the drink affects his speed he’s praying for a doorway
Back into the life he wants and the confession of the bench
Life outside the diamond is a wrench

I wish that you were here with me to pass the dull weekend
I know it wouldn’t come to love, my heroine pretend
A lady stepping from the song we love until this day
You’d settle for an epitaph like 'Walk Away, Renee'
The sun upon the roof in winter will draw you out like a flower
Meet you at the statue in an hour
Meet you at the statue in an hour

"Delicate," by Damien Rice

We might kiss when we are alone
When nobody's watching
We might take it home
We might make out when nobody's there
It's not that we're scared
It's just that it's delicate

So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've known
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why do you sing with me at all?

We might live like never before
When there's nothing to give
Well how can we ask for more
We might make love in some sacred place
The look on your face is delicate

So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've known
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why do you sing with me at all?

So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place that you've known
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why do you sing with me at all?

Gavin Rossdale - Love Remains The Same

"A thousand times I've seen you standing
gravity like a lunar landing
make me want to run till I find you
shut the world away from here, drift to you, you're all I hear
everything we know fades to black
half the time the world is ending, truth is I am done pretending

I never thought that I had any more to give
pushing me so far here I am without you
drink to all that we have lost, mistakes that we have made
everything will change, love remains the same"




Lifehouse - Take Me Away

"This time what I want is you
there is no one else
who can take your place
this time you burn me with your eyes
you see past all the lies
you take it all away
I've seen it all
and it's never enough
it keeps leaving me needing you"

What's The Use Of Wond'rin' - Amanda Palmer feat. Annie Clark

What's the use of wond'rin'
If he's good or if he's bad?
Or if you like the way
He wears his hat?

What's the use of wond'rin'
If he's good or if he's bad?
He's your fella, and you love him
That's all there is to that

Common sense may tell you
That the ending will be sad
And now's the time
To break and run away

But what's the use of wond'rin'
If the ending will be sad?
He's your fella, and you love him
There's nothing more to say

Something made him the way he is
Whether he's false or true
And something gave him the things that are his
One of those things is you

So when he wants your kisses
You'll give them to the lad
And anywhere he leads you
You will walk

And anytime he needs you
You'll go running there like mad
You're his girl, and he's your fella
And all the rest is talk

"Show me how to lie You're getting better all the time And turning all against the one Is an art that's hard to teach Another clever word Sets off an unsuspecting herd And as you step back into line A mob jumps to their feet"

"Agenda Suicide" by The Faint

You could follow logic
Or contest it all
The work solution makes the common house a home

The element of progress
That you mention is gone
It de-evolved to something you were headed toward

As i lay to die the things i think
Did i waste my time, i think i did
I worked for life

All we want are just pretty little homes
Our work makes pretty little homes

Like a cast shadow
Like a fathers dream
Have a cut out son
What's a worse disease
To get that pretty little home

As i lay to die the things i think
I don't want to regret what i did- and work for life

All we want are just pretty little homes
Our work makes pretty little homes

Agenda suicide
The drones work hard before they die
And give up on pretty little homes

(like a cast shadow)
Our work makes pretty little homes
Our work makes pretty little homes
Agenda suicide, the drones work hard before they die
And give up on pretty little homes

"We Looked Like Giants," by Death Cab For Cutie.

God bless the daylight, the sugary smell of springtime
Remembering when you were mine
In a still suburban town

When every Thursday I'd brave those mountain passes
And you'd skip your early classes
And we'd learn how our bodies worked.

God damn the black night with all its foul temptation
I become what I always hated
When I was with you then

We looked like giants in the back of my grey subcompact
Fumbling to make contact
As the others slept inside

And together there
In a shroud of frost, the mountain air
Began to pass from every pane of weathered glass
And I held you closer than anyone would ever get

Do you remember the JAMC?
And reading aloud from magazines
I don't know about you but I swear on my name they could smell it on me
I've never been too good with secrets.
No...

And together there
In a shroud of frost and mountain air
Began to pass through every pane of weathered glass
And I held you closer...

Just heard this song on the radio. I has reference to Star Trek
"Star Trucker" by Slim Dusty (he's an Aussie)
Well now you see that feller in the Louieville
he's got a mighty fine opinion of his drivin’ skills
Give him half a chance and he’ll bash your ear
Tell you how good he is!!

He can drive all night and he can drive day
And still be on the ball or so he’ll say
But I can share a little yarn about his claim to fame
He’d rather not talk about

It was on the Newell highway in July last year
Somewhere after midnight it was cold but clear
I see this big rig parked in the middle of the road
Lit up like a Christmas tree!!

Well you can well imagine I expected the worst
So I thought I'd take a look in the cabin first
Then I see you know who by the side of the road
Standin’ there starin’ at the stars and yellin’

“Beam me up Scotty im’a ready to ride
To take my place at the helm of the Enterprise
And boldly go through those starry skies
Hey I've proved my worth down here on earth
I'm a star trucker, star trucker
it's time for me to go interplanetary
I'm a star, star trucker “

Guitar Solo

I gotta tell you boys it took me by surprise
To see the crazy look in that poor blokes eyes
And when he sees me comin’ he starts to scream
“Klingons off the starboard bow”

Then I have this flash on how to make it work
I said “Son, it's not the Klingons, it's Captain Kirk”
He says “Sorry Captain it's been a hell of a day”
And I just, can't, push, it any harder

So beam me up Scotty im’a ready to ride
To take my place at the helm of the Enterprise
And boldly go through those starry skies
Hey I've proved my worth down here on earth
I'm a star trucker, star trucker
And it's time for me to go interplanetary
I'm a star, star trucker
Star, star trucker

"Makin' A Mile", 1997

"Come And Find Me," by Josh Ritter.

If I could trace the line that ran
Between your smile and your sleight of hand
I'd guess that you put something up my sleeve
Now every time I see your face the bells ring in a far-off place
We can find each other this way I believe

From the hills and up behind, my town
is naked from the horizon down
The curvature is pressed against the raise
We walked up in the fields alone
And the silence fell just like a stone
That got lost in the wild blue and the gravel grey

Come and find me now

Though I'm here in this far off place
My air is not this time and space
I draw you close with every breath
you don't know it's right until it's wrong
You don't know it's yours until it's gone
I didn't know that it was home ‘til you up and left

Come and find me now

I keep you in a flower vase
With your fatalism and your crooked face
With the daisies and the violet brocades
And I keep me in a vacant lot
In the ivy and forget-me-nots
Hoping you will come and untangle me one of these days

Come and find me now
