Delays....I've seen you hanging from blistering skies....

holding yourself with a grace that defies, law after law as well spit in the eye, fall on me when you come down, You've seen me panic and kick without sight of any danger except what i might, know of myself and see in you tonight, fall on me when you come down, The air is thin and hard to breath with sweetness that you lost to me despite the noose around that kiss, I try to tell myself this is no ending Seeing you buzzing from flickering signs, bringing on warnings of incoming fire, blood on your hands from the tongue of a liar, fall on me when you come down, The air is thin and hard to breath with sweetness that you lost to me, despite the noose around that kiss, I try to tell myself this is no ending, it's no ending Leaving alone and i see you're still breathing, head out of sight, but the neon's deceiving, there is no danger of you getting anywhere here, I know i'm prone to rushing in with no pretence of listening, despite this noose around our kiss, I try to tell myself this is no ending, it's no ending....

Clan of Xymox....and it’s cold in here when you’re all in tears....

Your vision is in black and white, you feel so afraid, You fail to show your better half, it’s such a shame, tomorrow’s dream never comes, it remains in shades, remains in shades, sticks and stones break my bones and it hurts too much, easy come and easy go, in love and war all seems fair, but’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all, now I am holding ground, now I am safe and sound, but it’s the last straw that breaks my back and life’s too short, handsome is as handsome does and there’s so much more a change is good as rest they say and all that glitters is not gold, now I am holding ground, now I am safe and sound, no way I found love sane and soundand it’s cold in here when you’re all in tears, those endless nights of intrigues make it all too clear, in this dark world and wide I am innocent....

Múm....Í gegnum sprungur drýpur suð....

I gengum rifu lekur hljóð,
A bakvið tvær hæðir sofna ég
Og þegar ég sofna, í hlýju grasi, græt ég lágt.
Í gegnum sprungur drýpur suð,
I gengum rifu lekur hljóð,
A bakvið tvær hæðir syndi ég,
Og þegar ég syndi, í gengum göngin, finn ég ró.
Inni í skúrnum bý til suð,
I gegnum rörin sendi hljóð,
A bakvið tvær hæði sofna ég,
Og þegar ég sofna,
í hlýju grasi, græt ég lágt....

The Sugarcubes....She lives in this house over there has her world outside it....

scrabbles in the earth with her fingers and her mouth, she's five years old, threads worms on a string, keeps spiders in her pocket, collects fly wings in a jar, scrubs horse flies and pinches them on a line, She has one friend, he lives next door they're listenening to the weather, he knows how many freckles she's got she scratches his beard, She's painting huge books and glues them together, they saw a big raven, it glided down the sky, she touched it, Today is a birthday, they're smoking cigars, he's got a chain of flowers and sows a bird in her knickers, They're smoking cigars, they lie in the bathtub a chain of flowers....

Cranes....We're like a boat drifting in a lonely sea and the stars and moon shine down on me....

Down, down the river we go, holding on for dear life to the last stick of the raft for we do love and he tried to be brave through each and every tear and the only warmth is the warmth of-their bodies, We're like a boat drifting in a lonely sea and I start to cry...I need nothing but you, I wish I could be beautiful for you but I feel as shallow as steel no words are hollow enough for how I feel....

Elliott Smith....I never really had a problem because of leaving....

But everything reminds me of her this evening, so if I seem a little out of it, sorry, but why should I lie, everything reminds me of her, the spin of the earth impaled a silhouette of the sun on the steeple and I gotta hear the same sermon all the time now from you people, why are you staring into outer space crying? just because you came across it and lost it, Everything reminds me of her, everything reminds me of her, everything reminds me of her....

Tuxedomoon....In a Manner of speaking I just want to say....

The Beta Band....I seen the demons but they didn't make a sound....

They tried to reach me but I lay upon the ground, I seen the people but they didn't make a sound, They tried to reach me but I gave the run-around, I reached for feelings but they didn't make a sound, They tried to reach me but I lay upon the ground, I saw miles and miles of squares where's the feeling there, Still nobody cares for miles and miles of squares, Daydream, I fell asleep amid the flowers, Daydream, I fell asleep amid the flowers....

The Residents....I gave you my heart....

you tore it apart that wasn't nice to do. I gave you my spleen, you called it obscene and then you split it in two, I gave you my liver, you threw it in the river, but I prayed you were true, Now I'm falling to bits, I've got nothing that fits, 'Cause I gave myself to you, I gave myself to you, I gave you my eyes, you said they told lies but what they said was true, I gave you my lips, you just wiggled your hips, well you sure looked cute the way you do, I gave you my chest and the bits you like best but you said that we were through, Now I'm one of those jerks that's got nothing that works, 'Cause I gave myself to you, I gave myself to you, when I gave you my brain, you said it was plain, I did not have a clue so I gave you my feet, I thought it was neat, but you said "So what else is new?" I gave you my veins, you said they were chains to hold you down like glue but the chains are on me, I'm restrained as can be, 'Cause I gave myself to you, I gave myself to you....

Tori Amos....These tears I’ve cried I've cried 1,000 oceans ....

and if it seems I’m floating in the darkness, well, I can't believe that I would keep you from flying and I would cry 1,000 more, If that's what it takes to sail you sail you home, sail you home, sail you home, I'm aware what the rules are but you know that I will run, You know that I will follow you over silbury hill through the solar field, You know that I will follow you and if I find you, will you, still remember playing at trains or does this little blue ball just fade away over silbury hill through the solar field, You know that I will follow you, I'm aware what the rules are but you know that I will run, You know that I will follow you these tears I’ve cried, I've cried 1,000 oceans and if it seems I’m floating in the blackness, well, I can't believe that I would keep, keep you from flyingso I will cry 1,000 more, If that's what it takes to sail you home, sail, sail you home....

Faithless....Deep in the bosom of the gentle night is when I search for the light?....

Teenage Jesus and The Jerks....My eyes are gript my fist are clenched....

My brain is open my mouth rips, I woke up dreaming, you are my vision, I want to touch you my fingers quiver, across the room, under the covers, open the Blankets, You’re my wound, My wrists are split, My elbows twisted, My shoulders bent, My knees arthritic, I woke up bleeding, You are my razor, I want to touch you my fingers quiver across the window, under the curtain, break the glass, feel the pain, my guts in knots, I convulse, I fall on the floor, I search for pulse, I woke up heaving, you are submission, I want to touch you, my fingers shiver, across the street, under the pavement, open the concrete, you’re the heat

Archie Bronson Outfit....One is a gun with a dart for my sweetheart....

Two only you can remove such an ache-heart, Three let me see what you`ve got, what you`re made of, what you`re not, Four is sore just a ripped and bloody claw, Five is a punching fist that`s within me, Six little stitches thread right through my heart, Seven shining reasons tearing us apart, Eight loose your hate it`s a game come on love me it`s your fate, Dart for my sweet heart, Dart for my sweet heart, Nine cold crimes in the night please forgive me, Ten are the tears that are frozen on your face, Eleven I know I`m not your favorite man, Twelve I`ll take you like only I canDart for my sweet heart, Dart for my sweet heart ....
