Archie Bronson Outfit....Mountains shed water, islands need sea....

Take me over the river, electricity, Gold in your pockets, lose some for me, I sense them coming, electricity, Promise, promise me, return the dead, This heart burns electricity, We have a life together, we have ties to break, Our past's an island we have set to sea, Promise me, promise me, return the dead, This heart burns electricity, Mountains shed water, islands need sea, Take me over the river, electricity....

This Mortal Coil.... the air was blue, you could hold it in your hand, blue remember me, I once told you and I tried to....

Sad to realise that nothing lasts forever, Golden heart, you'll always be a child, we cried as we kissed - it was too new, we died and we lived - it was too new too strong still too much, when you were a child, unhappiness took the place of dreams, dreams are like water, colourless and dangerous, without the strength to love, way beyond fear, you could care less if you could care at all, we cried as we kissed - it was too new, we died and we lived - it was too new, too strong still too much....

Tim Booth....Waiting for the sun to round these clouds, Waiting for these clowns to fade away....

Everything seems dull in shadow, Sad in the shadow, Show me how you hold it all together, Show me how to fake it like a man, How do you survive in shadow, Live in shadow, love in shadow, At the point of, darkness here comes the light, Here comes the light, Here comes the light, Here comes this beautiful light, At the point of darkness, Here come the stars, Here come the stars, Here come those beautiful stars, Sad to see that you're still feeling bitter, After all these years I hoped it fade, Crazy is the blame of shadow, Fear in shadow, lost in shadow, At the point of darkness here comes the light, Here comes the light, Here comes the light, Here comes this beautiful light....

Pete and the Pirates....Could it be i'm alive after all this?.....

 Picking pennies off the floor with my cold cold hands, Look at me, no hands aint it cool yeah, Look at her falling out of a taxi cab, If you really want some understanding, You will find it can be quite frustrating, If you really want to understand it, You will learn it can be quite demanding, You and me trying hard to remember, How we ever started out with our sights so high, Looking down, seeing your yellow fingers, And if you don't understand then at least ask why, If you really want some understanding, You will learn it can be quite frustrating, If you really want to understand it, You will learn it can be quite demanding, Could it be i'm alive after all this?....

The Black Keys.....You're just like time.....

Except you can feel the shame, All hands on deck, now, The sea is getting rough again, You see me out your window, Even when you close the blinds, And all you ever wanted, Was someone to treat you, Nice and kind, Take a step before running, Take a breath now before you die, When you work the streets, darlin', Make sure, Your sneaker laces they get tied, I'll be your black bird darlin', Hanging on your telephone wire, Flap my wings, oh yeah, And set your heart to fly....

The Boo Radleys....And now the dust has settled I'm still left with me....

Still trying to think of what it is I'd like to be, Always looking for the easy exit out, Never stopping to wonder why, Colours faded by the raping of the land, Colours diluted by the raping of woman, We celebrate the life and history of man, How we suffer for all we've achieved, I've never met you Philip Morris but I know, You treat me like I was the son you never killed, I am your servant and yes you have raised me well, Will you put flowers on my grave, M.I.L.L.E.N.I.U.M.-I want to spend it with you, Trying to make some sense of this I can't work it out (Nobody lives here anymore), A trophy for our new captain who'll blame someone else, (We should have spent the days on so much more), They're building a monument a for a dead century....

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah .....Maniac, don’t say it in again, when I can see you.....

in the rose, I call the money or witness satnding there in hard drive, ask me if I understand what is good for me a aah, cant you se it’s a promise, trust it, some say so longhow could you, some say, you can take me but leave ma daughter alone, we can sit forever in my mind, finding no stars in the sky, we col.uld, our hunted, I miss the way you stare at me, as if I were a memory, feeling and I know, touch anymore, now the dream is , I might not, some way out of the silence, my mind is stuck, in the sky, to our hunted, never let....

The Drums.....And i've seen the world,and theres no heavan and theres no hell....

I've seen the world,and theres no heavan and theres no hell, And i believe that when we die we die, So let me love you tonight,let me love you tonight, And i believe that when we die we die, So let me love you tonight,let me love you tonight, Ooh...Oh let it begin,let it begin,let it begin, Oh let it begin,let it begin,let it begin, Oh you were a pretty thing,but your full of fear, Well not here,no never here, Oh you can love them,you can hate them,you never rome them,so you don't own them, And i've seen the world,and theres no heavan and theres no hell, I've seen the world,and theres no heavan and theres no hell, And i believe that when we die we die, So let me love you tonight,let me love you tonight, And i believe that when we die we die....

These New Puritans....Some of these trees have been growing for years.....

the leaves on the floor must be five metres deep, the paths are a labyrinth or even a trap, some tides don't turn some things never come back. Secret recordings were made in the marsh, I bore a hole in the tree just to see, Knights dance in molecules, here's Gallahad, They're rising back up, they're rising back up. Shadows dance back up, it's happening again, If you listen carefully you might hear them whisper:, "We hold all the secrets, we hold all the words; but they're, scrambled and broken so you'll never know" (And that the Thames flows beneath the grass) Can't you see them floating like black ash?Can't you feel them crawling down your back? Can't you feel them breathing down your neck? Sea breeze, sea breeze....

World Unite! Lucifer Youth Foundation.....Like children they play, I wanna feel at home, I want to feel at home

You know I cant stay, I wanna feel at home, I want to feel at home, nah at night and in the day light, come on broken boys, lets stay tight, so when the morning comes and were all dead we can live free just like my brother said, he said “don’t stay, go out and play, you cant live until your dead." But you know the freedom that my brother saw, it deep down, it in your heart, Nah the children play like my brother say and I wanna feel at home and it’s the beautiful sight at the break of day light, that makes me feel like ill find a home, so to the girls and boys calling out wolf noise, one day you’ll find a home And if the world unites, sets the mounatin alight, then outside your house will become your home, Like children lets play, i wanna feel at home, I want to feel at home....

Anna Calvi.... Cursed like a flame Cause the very last light is gone....

I feel something coming as the morning down the hall, Voices darkness is coming from my soul, Should i fear you or should i just let go? Oh, blackout, i gotta know where you're from, What are you trying to tell me i don't know, Oh, blackout, now this glow has come you're in the dark, I could be anyone, Time stand still but i feel you by my side, But even this moment is running out of time, Oh,blackout, i've gotta know where you're from, What are you trying to tell me i don't know, Oh, blackout, now this glow has come you're in the dark, I could be anyone, Oh, blackout, now this glow has come, What are you trying to tell me i don't know, Oh, blackout i won't tell where you're from cause you're in the dark, I could be anyone, don't leave, don't leave me....

DeVotchKa....I will admit I am embarrassed by your grace....

And the complete look of boredom upon your face, You want to be a million miles from this place, You want to get on with my untimely disgrace., I am alone I am in love with an idea, Sophisticated Neurological appeals, I want to negotiate some kind of a deal, I want to tear it open show you that it's real, Oh the things I will believe, Ignore the hundred lovers, You got hidden up your sleeve. The words come easily And they sound so lovely, I guess it's just as easy if you lie to me. Everybody they got all kinds of advice, They want to tell you just how you should live your life. But who exactly am I supposed to believe?Am I supposed to let you walk away from me? I know it's coming, I can feel it in my bones, This is information you already know, Even if it's only temporarily, Give the illusion tonight you belong to me, Oh the, things I will believe, Ignore the hundred lovers, You got hidden up your sleeve. The words come easily And they sound so lovely, I guess it's just as easy if you lie to me....

Peter Murphy....Thing to Remember when writing figures of speech and sound....

The Power of poetry comes from the ability to defy logic, Defy Logic Often, Use a metaphor and tell us that your lover is the sky. Tell us that your lover is the sky. When you do that, We won't believe you,We won't believe you, Because saying so makes no sense, But we'll see a meaning. We'll see a meaning, The other thing is the ability to be remembered. Love Anything. Love Anything, Wasted, I cut myself down, Cut myself down, Wasted, Now Breaking Free, Breaking Free, It's no longer me, Understand where you came from, Floating, I'm facing me down, Prostrate to the ground, Understand, Prostrate to the ground, Mystery, Rain down on my life, down on my life....

The Decemberists....See this ancient riverbed, See where all our follies are led....

Down by the water and down by the old main drag, I was just some towhead teen, Feeling around for fingers to get in between, Down by the water and down by the old main drag, The season rubs me wrong, The summer swells anon, So knock me down, tear me up, But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup, Down by the water and down by the old main drag, Sweet descend this rabble round, Pretty little patter of a seaport town, Rolling down the water and rolling down the old main drag, All dolled up in gabardine, The last flashing lee to appear nineteen, Queen of the water and queen of the old main drag, The season rubs me wrong, The summer swells anon, So knock me down, tear me up, But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup, Down by the water and down by the old main drag, The season rubs me wrong....

Gang of Four....You’ll never pay for the farm, Someone should raise the alarm....

I think you’re losing your charm, You can’t undo all the harm, You can’t regret what you get, You can’t get back what you bet, You can’t divorce from your fate, You’re lying drunk at the wake, You never wanted to live alone, But never sure what you don't know, Don’t want you to die upon your feet, You’ll always want to keep the receipt! They think you’re a winner! But you'll never pay, never pay for the farm, They think you’re a winner! Change the locks, change your life, They think you’re a winner! But you'll never pay, never pay for the farm, They think you’re a winner! Change the locks, change your life, You're never able to rest, You can’t get thoughts off your chest, I think you lost the romance, You walk around in a trance, You've got no pause to have regrets,, You stuffed your face in ignorance, You're dreaming of a war the Third Between the Shiites and the Kurds....

Art Brut....Modern art....

makes me want to rock out, So, I'm in the Tate and I'm looking at a Hockney and wow, there's something amazing about that blue, It makes me want to step outside, I want to loosen my tie, Sweet Jesus, my heart is beating faster and faster, I'm palpitating, I'm sweating, I just can't help myself, I just can't help myself, Modern art, makes me want to rock out, So, I'm in the Pompidou, That's in Paris and the French, they're far more laid back about their art galleries, There's little children running around, I see a piece by Matisse, That's my window of opportunity, I take five steps back, I put my head down and I run at it! Modern art makes me want to rock out,,,,

Tv On The Radio....It might be impractical to seek out a new romance....

We won't know the actual if we never take the chance, I'd like to collapse with you and ease you against this song, I think we're compatible, I see that you think I'm wrong, But, any time will do, my love, Any time will do, no choice of words will break me from this groove, Any time will do, my love, Any time will do, what choice of words will take me back to you? Ohhh ooooh, Your love makes a fool of you, you can't seem to understand, A heart doesn't play by rules and love has it's own demands, But I'll be there to take care of you if ever you should decide, But you don't want to waste your life, In the middle of a lovesick lullaby, But, any time will do, my love, Any time will do....

Elbow....You're a law unto yourself And we don't suffer dreamers, But neither should you walk the earth alone....

So with finger rolls and folding chairs And a volley of streamers, We can be there for tweaks and repairs, Should you come back home, We got open arms for broken hearts, Like yours my boy, come home again, Tables are for pounding here And when we've got you surrounded, The man you are will know the boy you were And you're not the man who fell to earth, You're the man of La Mancha And we've love enough to light the street 'Cause everybody's here, We got open arms for broken hearts, Like yours my boy, come home again, We got open arms for broken hearts, Like yours my boy, come home again, Everyone's here, Everyone's here, The moon is out looking for trouble And everyone's here, Everyone's here, Everyone's here....

The Strokes....Slip back out of whack at your best, It's a nightmare....

So I'm joining the army, Know how folks back out, I still call, Will you wait for me now? We got the right to live, fight to use it, Got everything but you can just choose it, I won't just be a puppet on a string, Don't go that way, I'll wait for you And I'm tired of all your friends, Listening at your door And I want, what's better for you, So long my friend and adversary, But I'll wait for you, Get dressed jump out of bed and do it best, Are you ok? I've been out around this town, Everybody's singing the same song for ten years, I'll wait for you, Will you wait for me too? And they sacrifice their lives, In the land of all closed eyes, I've been saying a billion times, and I'll say it again, So long, my end, The sorry embrace....

The Dears....Saw it disappear into the dark....

All the hope we put together falls apart, In a millisecond point o zero 1, It's even slower than forever, Could ever run, In a millisecond point o zero 1, It's even slower than forever, Could ever run, There's a billion pieces left behind to share, Not a single one of us, Has the guts to bear, A cross, do you? We can't go through this again, Plucking our eyes out, Turn into stone, Give up on heaven, Give up the throne, Give up on heaven, Plucking our eyes out, Turn into stone, Give up on heaven, Give up the throne, Give up on heaven, There's a billion pieces left behind to share, Not a single one of us, With the guts to bear, A cross or a switchblade, But you, You got it down, Or do you, We can't go through this again....

Black Lips....Subconsciousness been splayed on cankered brains....

We get along and their very boones decay, Try to find what little else remain, My heart still beating but I'm feeling so restrained, You try to make a living by using what you got, But the way that it's been going, Well you gonna get shot, He's an old cold hand, Missfortune passed down from long times ago, Been rendered senseless in a temple made of gold, I heard you're really out here all alone, I'm stuck in limbo and you're perched atop a throne, You try to make a living by using what you got, But the way that it's been going, Well you better run fast, He's an old cold hand, Subconsciousness been splayed on cankered brains, We get along and their very boones decay, Try to find what little else remain, My heart still beating but I'm feeling so restrained....

Fanfarlo....You can't trust that sound....

You're sleeping in all the time, You'll see me on the screen, Through all the other soul's dark walls, With the sun. The mad circus says good night. The tape machine exposed, From all its spinning round the moon. I've scratched all my reels, I've bitten all my nails to the bone, Like a stone. You come back and thrown up. Away From the top And away from the drills, But kid I'm a pilot, It's all I believe in, You can ride on my back. And time on your hands. You spent your money down by the tracks, You had the drivers sign your arms. My hospitals will welcome you home, Like a tomb, With gun marks aching, To look at your grace, And believe what you say. But kid I'm a pilot, It's all I believe in, You can ride on my back. If I stay in this room, They'll remember me for my youth If I stay in this room, They'll remember me for my youth. If I give it all up....

Japandroids....We finished our old lives, Like we finished off the wine....

Now we're used to staying up all night, Two hearts beating Oh yeah, oh yeah, You can keep tomorrow, After tonight, we're not going to need it, Beat up (beat up) Beat down (beat down) Wet ground, but too drunk to feel it, We used to dream, Now we worry about dying, I don't want to worry about dying, I just want to worry about those sunshine girls, Young hearts, Spark fire, All night, Oh yeah, oh yeah, You can keep tomorrow, After tonight, we're not going to need it, Beat up (beat up) Beat down (beat down) Wet ground, but too drunk to feel it, We used to dream, Now we worry about dying, I don't want to worry about dying, I just want to worry about those sunshine girls....

R.E.M. ....The kids have a new take, A new take on faith....

Pick up the pieces, Get carried away, I came home to city half erased, I came home to face what we faced, This place needs me here to start, This place is the beat of my heart, Oh my heart, Oh my heart(oh my heart) Oh my heart, Oh my heart, (oh my heart) Storm didn't kill me, The government changed, Hear the answer call, Hear the song rearranged, Hear the tress, the ghosts and the buildings sing, With the wisdom to reconcile this thing, It's sweet and it's sad and it's true, How it doesn't look bitter on you....

Mystery Jets....So here we are in the dark, Does the day feel like a world apart....

I start to come undone, When i'm living on the other side of the sun, But sometimes i feel that it's all too much to take, I look in the mirror but dont recognise my face, So show me the light And tell me that things will turn out right, It cuts like a knife, When you say things wont turn out right, Temptation my old friend, You've come back to lead me off again, If you see me acting strange, You can call but you know i'm out of range, But sometimes i feel that it's all too much too take, But all that just changes when i look look upon your face, So show me the light And tell me that things will turn out right, Remember the night And how we would hold eachother tight....

Grandaddy....Don’t change your name keep it the same for fear I may lose you again....

I know you wont its just that I am unorganised And I want to find you when something good happens if you come down we'll go to town, I haven't been there for years, but I’d be fine wasting our time, not doing anything here, just doing nothing, We’ll sit for days talk about things important to us like whatever, well defuse bombs walk marathons and take on whatever together....

Black Grape....Hey,You know what i mean? Sell a man? your religion....

Say i walking down a hit song a booming business Buying, selling belief, Standing in the pews, Talking bullshit, bullshit, bullshit, Bullshit, bullshit, I want to know, i want to know, Can you feel the spirit of the lord? There's nothing more sinister, As ministers in dresses, Gather round some nice black people, While i deliver this message, Kill the message, You do nothing but socialise and become a menace, Put on your reeboks man and go play funky tennis, Can i get a witness, I said can, i get a witness, Oh come oh ye faithful, Oh joyful and triumphant, Gather around, While i blow my own trumpet, Oh pope he got the nazis, To clean up their messes, He exchanged the gold and paintings, He gave them new addresses, Clean up your messes, Hi, hi furer, Hi, hi furer, Oh my fathers, fathers, fathers, father, By nature he was bendy, We are the chi chine tribe and we are over friendly, Can i get a witness, Yeah, I said, Come on, Can, i get a witness, Oh come oh ye faithful, Oh joyful and triumphant, Gather around me, While i blow my own trumpet, Can i get a witness? ....

Radiohead....I will sneak myself into your pocket Invisible, do what you want....

do what you want, I will sink and I will disappear, I will slip into the groove and cut me up and cut me up, There's an empty space inside my heart, Where the wings take root, So now I'll set you free, I'll set you free, There's an empty space inside my heart And it won't take root, Tonight I'll set you free, I'll set you free, Slowly we unfurl As lotus flowers And all I want is the moon upon a stick, Dancing around the pit, Just to see what it is, I can't kick the habit, Just to feed your fast ballooning head, Listen to your heart, We will sink and be quiet as mice, While the cat is away and do what we want, Do what we want, There's an empty space inside my heart And now it won't take root And now I set you free, I set you free, Because all I want is the moon upon a stick, Just to see what it is, Just to see what gives, Take the lotus flowers into my room, Slowly we unfurl, As lotus flowers, All I want is the moon upon a stick, Dance around a pit, The darkness is beneath, I can't kick the habit, Just to feed my fast ballooning head, Listen to your heart....

The Undertones.....Are teenage dreams so hard to beat...

Everytime she walks down the street, Another girl in the neighbourhood, Wish she was mine, she looks so good, I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight, Get teenage kicks right through the night, I'm gonna call her on the telephone, Have her over cos i'm all alone, I need exitement oh i need it bad And its the best, i've ever had, I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight, Get teenage kicks right through the night, I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight, Get teenage kicks right through the night....

Shit Robot....You dont know, you dont know, What you feel!....

You dont know, you dont know, What you feel! Are you ready ya for the new? Are you tuff enuff, ready for the real? I know you dont feel down, Ready for the real.You dont know, you dont know, What you want! You dont know, no, no what you want ! Are you ready? Are you ready?Are you ready? Are you tuff enuff?....

Broken Bells....Tonight, I sail the world....

Lovin, more than I know with blood on my hands, Wouldn't know, you're a devious sister, guts on your blouse, Close your old ways and diamonds a dozen sailing to nowhere, They burn n float on, Still we move on thru the night, boily systems drain the lot, They go down by their hearts one by one, Long to find a way up, following the ghost down, Running in circles a mouse on the table, I try to feel, I just don't c'hurtin and dead inside, go on and cut 'em in half, Said I....

Tapes 'n Tapes.... A Million Miles Of common sense....

Can't hide the reader, Can't fill the trench and what you hide, Is what I sold and when you're next to me, The feeling's cold, Don't tread lightly, In the book At the age of stills, You make congress, Congress, Up in the mount on the sea of chills, You went tireless, tireless, I will walk alone, Take Toll Take Time and turn your face, Dismount your wall, Disband your state, The tides of thought, Are blowing in the wind, We'll stretch our seed to the beaches of the fins, The path is clear, we'll keep clear on the side and make our beds in the beds of others, Don't talk lightly....

Gang Gang Dance....Glory in Itself....

Tipping on the thunder of a paradigm, Soaking on the thread of a nursery rhyme, Oh my a, a dandy indeed, Oh my a, a dandy indeed, With a shiver of mint or rotten hay, Worthy only of rancor, Thy light and shed thy light, Ooh how it posses me, Glory in itself, anyone and anyone, But the self, Glory in itself, anyone and anyone else, Oh my a, a dandy indeed, Oh my a, a dandy indeed, Cunning on the tip toes of a leash, Ooh, the carnal and boyish, My time is already spent, Thru juvenile thoughtlessness, I've seen it with my eyes, I felt it with my hands....

chk chk chk....It only takes a little bit of glamour glimmer....

Only just a little bit of shake-or-shiver, Nothing never matters 'til it's shattered, Spluttered and covered splattered all over my nap and sha, sha, sha sha sha-doobie, Sometimes it's really just like the movies, Was a glimpse a little bit of nothing make a difference and nothing's been the same since the chain of events, It's the place where dreams come true, Dreams can still be nightmares too and ah sha, sha, sha sha whoa whoa, So much it's close enough for rock 'n roll, Should have told me the world was gonna tie me back a sweater, Poets from the days of old have never said it better, Sometimes it really glitters and sometimes it's even gold, Baby when it isn't then it must be rock 'n roll and ah sha, sha, sha sha sha-doobie, Sometimes it's really just like the movies....

Okkervil River....Packed and all eyes turned in, no one to see on the key....

No one waving for me just the shoreline receding. Ticket in my hand and thinking wish I didn't hand it in. Cause who said sailing is fine? leaving behind all the faces that I might replace if I tried on that long ride, looking deep inside but I don`t want to look so deep inside yet. Sit down, sit down on the proud wave bye, there might not be another star, farther on the line. Look out, look out at each town that glides by and there's another crowd, to drown in crying eyes. And see how that light you love now just won`t shine, there might just be another star, that`s high and far in some other sky. We sing, is that marionette real enough yet to step off of that set and decide what a dance might mean to it. Ruining the place where the ensuing may lay escape. We packed up all of our bags the ship's deck now sags from the weight of our tracks as we pace beneath flags black and battered rattling our swords in service of some fated, foreign, war....
