One of the few |
Anathema : Pink Floyd's song |
when you're one of the few to land on your feet
what do you do to make ends meet?
teach
make them mad, make them sad, make them add two and two
make them me, make them you, make them do what you want them to
make them laugh, make them cry, make them lie down and die

Shout |
Dominion : Tears for Fears's song |
Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on
In violent times
You shouldn't have to sell your soul
In black and white
They really really ought to know
Those one track minds
That took you for a working boy
Kiss them goodbye
You shouldn't have to jump for joy
You shouldn't have to jump for joy
Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on
They gave you life
And in return you gave them hell
As cold as ice
I hope we live to tell the tale
I hope we live to...
[2x]
Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on
And when you've taken down your guard
If I could change your mind
I'd really love to break your heart
I'd really love to...
Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on
[repeat until fade]

Some velvet morning |
My Dying Bride : Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazelwood's song |
Lee:
Some velvet morning when I'm straight
I'm gonna open up your gate
Some velvet morning when I'm straight
I'm gonna open up your gate
Nancy:
Flowers growing on the hill
Dragonflies and daffodils
Learn from us very much
Look at us but do not touch
Phaedra is my name
Lee:
Some velvet morning when I'm straight
I'm gonna open up your gate
Some velvet morning when I'm straight
I'm gonna open up your gate
Nancy:
Flowers are the things we grew
Secrets are the things we knew
Learn from us very much
Look at us but do not touch
Phaedra is my name
Lee:
Some velvet morning when I'm straight
I'm gonna open up your gate
Nancy: Flowers growing on the hill
Lee: Some velvet morning when I'm straight
Nancy: Dragonflies and daffodils
Lee: I'm gonna open up your gate
Nancy: Learn from us very much
Lee: Some velvet morning when I'm straight
Nancy: Look at us but do not touch
Lee: I'm gonna open up your gate
Look at us but do not touch, look at us but do not touch

Roads |
My Dying Bride : Portishead's song |
Ohh, can't anybody see
We've got a war to fight
Never found our way
Regardless of what they say
How can it feel, this wrong
From this moment
How can it feel, this wrong
Storm.. in the morning light
I feel
No more can I say
Frozen to myself
I got nobody on my side
And surely that ain't right
And surely that ain't right
Ohh, can't anybody see
We've got a war to fight
Never found our way
Regardless of what they say
How can it feel, this wrong
From this moment
How can it feel, this wrong
[INSTRUMENTAL]
How can it feel, this wrong
This moment
How can it feel, this wrong
Ohh, can't anybody see
We've got a war to fight
Never found our way
Regardless of what they say
How can it feel, this wrong
From this moment
How can it feel, this wrong

Better off dead |
Anathema : Bad Religion's song |
I'm sorry about the sun
How could I know that you would burn?
And I'm sorry about the moon
How could I know that you'd disapprove?
And I'll never make the same mistake
the next time I create the universe
I'll make sure we communicate at length
Oh yeah
But until then, better off dead
A smile on the lips and a hole in the head
Better off dead, yeah better than this
Take it away, 'cause there's nothing to miss
I'm sorry about the world
How could I know you'd take it so bad?
And I'll never make the same mistake
So if you're looking for a patsy
Why not try the entire human race
Just to play it safe?
But until then, better off dead
A smile on the lips and a hole in the head
Better off dead, yeah better than this
Take it away, 'cause there's nothing to miss
Better off dead, you're better off dead
Why don't you try pushing daisies instead?
Better off dead... you're better off dead
A smile on the lips and a hole in the head
and I'll never make the same mistake,
the next time I create the universe
I'll make sure you participate
Oh yeah
And I'll never make the same mistake
the next time I create the universe
I'll make sure you participate
Just in case

Song of joy |
Thine : Nick Cave's song |
Have mercy on me, sir
Allow me to impose on you
I have no place to stay
And my bones are cold right through
I will tell you a story
Of a man and his family
And I swear that it is true
Ten years ago I met a girl named Joy
She was a sweet and happy thing
Her eyes were bright blue jewels
And we were married in the spring
I had no idea what happiness and little love could bring
Or what life had in store
But all things move toward their end
All things move toward their their end
On that you can be sure
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
Then one morning I awoke to find her weeping
And for many days to follow
She grew so sad and lonely
Became Joy in name only
Within her breast there launched an unnamed sorrow
And a dark and grim force set sail
Farewell happy fields
Where joy forever dwells
* Hail horrors hail *
Was it an act of contrition or some awful premonition
As if she saw into the heart of her final blood-soaked night
Those lunatic eyes, that hungry kitchen knife
Ah, I see sir, that I have your attention!
Well, could it be?
How often I've asked that question
Well, then in quick succession
We had babies, one, two, three
We called them Hilda, Hattie and Holly
They were their mother's children
Their eyes were bright blue jewels
And they were quiet as a mouse
There was no laughter in the house
No, not from Hilda, Hattie or Holly
"No wonder", people said, "poor mother Joy's so melancholy"
Well, one night there came a visitor to our little home
I was visiting a sick friend
I was a doctor then
Joy and the girls were on their own
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
Joy had been bound with electrical tape
In her mouth a gag
She'd been stabbed repeatedly
And stuffed into a sleeping bag
In their very cots my girls were robbed of their lives
Method of murder much the same as my wife's
Method of murder much the same as my wife's
It was midnight when I arrived home
Said to the police on the telephone
Someone's taken four innocent lives
They never caught the man
He's still on the loose
It seems he has done many many more
Quotes John Milton on the walls in the victim's blood
The police are investigating at tremendous cost
In my house he wrote "his red right hand"
That, I'm told is from Paradise Lost
The wind round here gets wicked cold
But my story is nearly told
I fear the morning will bring quite a frost
And so I've left my home
I drift from land to land
I am upon your step and you are a family man
Outside the vultures wheel
The wolves howl, the serpents hiss
And to extend this small favour, friend
Would be the sum of earthly bliss
Do you reckon me a friend?
The sun to me is dark
And silent as the moon
Do you, sir, have a room?
Are you beckoning me in?
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la

The girl who lives on heaven hill |
Blackstar : Husker Du's song |
There's a girl who lives on Heaven Hill
I go up to her cabin still
She keeps a lantern lit for me
And a bottle up on her mantelpiece
She's the girl who lives on Heaven Hill
She's the girl who lives on Heaven Hill
She's got a big room and it's always a mess
Worn out shoes and a worn out dress
A worn out smile that she'll wear some more
And a worn out welcome mat by her door
She's the girl who lives on Heaven Hill
She's the girl who lives on Heaven Hill
She's the girl who lives on Heaven Hill
She's the girl who lives on Heaven Hill
I'd trade big mountains and rooms full of gold
For just one look at the beauty of this woman's soul
Up on Heaven Hill is where I wanna be
That girl, that bottle, that mattress and me
She's the girl who lives on Heaven Hill
She's the girl who lives on Heaven Hill
She's the girl who lives on Heaven Hill
She's the girl who lives on Heaven Hill

O baby |
Acrimony : Status Quo's song |
Oh baby, why don't you come home?
Oh baby, don't you leave me alone
Oh baby, been away for far too long
When you get home, gonna sing you this song
They're gonna know 'cos you've treating me wrong
Oh baby, been away for far too long
Oh baby, why don't you come home?
Oh baby, don't you leave me alone
Oh baby, been away for far too long
When you get home, gonna sing you this song
They're gonna know 'cos you've treating me wrong
Oh baby, been away for far too long

Crazy horses |
The Blood Divine : The Osmonds's song |
There's a message
-FLOATING
In the air
Crazy horses riding everywhere
It's a warning
It's in every tongue
Gotta stop them crazy
Horses on the run
What a show, there they go
Smoking up the sky, yeah
Crazy horses all got riders
And they're you and I
Crazy horses
Crazy horses
Never stop and they never die
They just keep on puffin
How they multiply
Crazy horses
Will they never halt
If they keep on moving
Then it's all our fault
What a show, there they go
Smoking up the sky, yeah
Crazy horses all got riders
And they're you and I
So take a good look around
See what they've done
What they've done
They've done, they've done
They've done, they've done
They've done, they've done
Crazy horses
Crazy horses
Crazy horses
Crazy horses

Love will tear us apart |
The Blood Divine : Joy Division's song |
When routine bites hard,
And ambitions are low,
And resentment rides high,
But emotions won't grow,
And we're changing our ways, taking different roads.
Then love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.
Why is the bedroom so cold?
You've turned away on your side.
Is my timing that flawed?
Our respect runs so dry.
Yet there's still this appeal
That we've kept through our lives.
But love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.
You cry out in your sleep,
All my failings exposed.
And there's a taste in my mouth,
As desperation takes hold.
Just that something so good just can't function no more.
But love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.

Paint it black |
Dominion : The Rolling Stones's song |
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors any more, I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by, dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a newborn baby, it just happens every day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door I must have it painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors any more, I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by, dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
Hmm, hmm, hmm,..
I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah!
Hmm, hmm, hmm...

Running back |
Blackstar : Thin Lizzy's song |
I'm a fool now that it's over
Can you guess my name?
I make my money singing songs about you
It's my claim to fame
When they say it's over
It's not all over, there's still the pain
I'd come running
I'd come running back to you again
Oh I'd come running
I'd come running back to you again
If I said I was sorry
Would you still leave me?
I never thought you'd go 'till you did
Believe me
When they say it's over
It's not all over completely
'Cause I'd come running
I'd come running back to you again
Yes I'd come running
I'd come running back to you again
I miss that girl
The show is over
and we must all go home
Just leave me by myself
I'll be alright here on my own
If it's all over, it's all over
And I'm all alone
And I'd come running
I'd come running back to you again
Don't you know I'd come running
I'd come running back to you again

Don't let me down |
LID : The Beatles's song |
Don't let me down, don't let me down
Don't let me down, don't let me down
Nobody ever loved me like she does
Oh, she does, yeah, she does
And if somebody loved me like she do me
Oh, she do me, yes, she does
Don't let me down, don't let me down
Don't let me down, don't let me down
I'm in love for the first time
Don't you know it's gonna last
It's a love that lasts forever
It's a love that had no past (Seeking past)
Don't let me down, don't let me down
Don't let me down, don't let me down
And from the first time that she really done me
Oh, she done me, she done me good
I guess nobody ever really done me
Oh, she done me, she done me good
Don't let me down, hey don't let me down
Heeeee, don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down, don't let me let down
Can you dig it? Don't let me down

Anathema : Pink Floyd's song |
Goodbye cruel world
I'm leaving you today
Goodbye

Goodbye all you people
There's nothing you can say
To make me change
My mind
Goodbye.
