Ted Leo And The Pharmacists....Innocence, it don't come easy in a sense it never will....

Accidents mean no one's guilty, ignorance means someone's killed, So I asked our Mr. Mellor how one gets to where one's going and he points to his survival, and he points me down the road, As I go on, Wondering if I've got a soul and counting down the hours 'til it goes, On a dark wet night in April, on a street in Jersey where, I went looking for some writing that I knew would not be there and a punter from the Pelhams and the police, in the rain,Were concerned more with a car than with the fact the light had changed, But after listening all morning, as I drove down 95, To a story of detainees who were barely kept alive, I could deal with trying to process pigeons acting like they're doves, But not with interference from the power lines above, As I go on, Wondering if I've got a soul and Counting down the hours 'til it goes and oh, precautions, yes precautions, But if you're playing with a gun, you could kill someone and in the dark....

Arctic Monkeys....Your pastimes, consisted of the strange the twisted and deranged

And I loved that little game you had called 'Crying lightning'and how you like to aggravate the ice-cream man on rainy afternoons, The next time that I caught my own reflection, It was on its way to meet you, Thinking of excuses to postpone, You never look like yourself from the side, But your profile could not hide, The fact you knew I was approaching your throne, With folded arms you occupied the bench like toothache. Stood and puffed your chest out like you'd never lost a war and though I tried so not to suffer the indignity of a reaction, There was no cracks to grasp or gaps to claw....

Foals....I know a place, where I can go when I'm low Down...to your house....

down to your house, I will go, when I'm low. I know a face, who I can show my true colours. To your arms, into your arms, I will go, when I'm low. Cuz' total life forever, will never be enough, no, I've seen it all, To your house, down to your house, I will go, when I'm low. They took it all, and to the, To your arms, into your arms, I will go when I'm low. Cuz' total life forever, will never be enough, no, Singularity is here to stay, So go down, go down, go down, go down, go down, down low. Let's take it slow. Singularity is here to stay, for you and me....

The Birthday Party....When youre sad and when youre lonely and you havent got a friend Just remember that death is not the end....

And all that you held sacred, Falls down and does not mend, Just remember that death is not the end, Not the end, not the end, Just remember that death is not the end, When youre standing on the crossroads, That you cannot comprehend, Just remember that death is not the end and all your dreams have vanished and you dont know whats up the bend, Just remember that death is not the end, Not the end, not the end, Just remember that death is not the end, When the storm clouds gather round you and heavy rains descend, Just remember that death is not the end and theres no-one there to comfort you, With a helping hand to lend, Just remember that death is not the end, Not the end, not the end, Just remember that death is not the end....

Delphic....Wanting meaning, wanting more than the same things, Wanting everything, just to start at the ending....

I found another face to show, Just because what you say is what will go, Doubt, in it all for me, I've hit the wall, all that's left for you is doubt, Better you than me, I've so far to fall, All that's left for you is doubt, In it all for me, I've hit the wall that's left for you is doubt, Better you than me, I've so far to fall, but I can't change now, Missing the life gone by that I have lost, I'm missing the better times that I had lost, When you're near me I get tired when you follow, When you speak what you say is what will go. will go, What you say is what will go, Doubt, in it all for me, I've hit the wall, all that's left for you is doubt, Better you than me, I've so far to fall, All that's left for you is doubt, In it all for me, I've hit the wall that's left for you is doubt, Better you than me, I've so far to fall, but I can't change now....

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds....I don’t believe in an interventionist god, But I know, darling, that you do

But if I did I would kneel down and ask him, Not to intervene when it came to you, Not to touch a hair on your head, To leave you as you are and if he felt he had to direct you, Then direct you into my arms, Into my arms, o lord, Into my arms, o lord, Into my arms, o lord, Into my arms and I don’t believe in the existence of angels, But looking at you I wonder if that’s true, But if I did I would summon them together and ask them to watch over you, To each burn a candle for you, To make bright and clear your path and to walk, like christ, in grace and love and guide you into my arms, Into my arms, o lord, Into my arms, o lord, Into my arms, o lord, Into my arms, and I believe in love and I know that you do too and I believe in some kind of path, That we can walk down, me and you, So keep your candle burning and make her journey bright and pureThat she will keep returning, Always and evermor, Into my arms, o lord, Into my arms, o lord, Into my arms, o lord, Into my arms....

Ozomatli....Imagine wakin up solidarity is evident....

Harmony rules time is irrelevant, People to places the message basic from raised fist to sit in resist to change shit, Peep this scenario to the future bro, 2020 and some number of year ago, People rose up governments froze up, World wide block party everybody shows up, Up on rooftops, ghettos and hotspots, People celebrate no more souls rot, No more bloodshed over false deficit, Even hip hop gets a fuckin face lift, The latest fashion, stock markets crash in, It’s Saturday time to get the party crackin, If the time and the day is right, The revolution will begin this Saturday nite, Chorus: dip, dive, socialize, get ready for the Saturday nite....

Titus Andronicus....I will be as harsh as truth and as uncompromising as justice....

On this subject, I do not wish to think, or speak, or write with moderation. I am in earnest. I will not equivocate, I will not excuse, I will not retreat a single inch, and I will be heard....

Antelope....take off your head and see how you are connected to me....

you look into your own unknown...to reveal what the records have shown, my hand wants to extend, to make sure we'll kiss in the end, you say stop living a lie, don't wait till the moment you die....

Tones on Tail....And the air was alive, with piercing sound and burning skies....

the horror did me good, the magic was on my side and hot and cold ideas, were running onto your eyes, your sinking grey eyes, she shook his head like so much meat, the horror did me good, time to exercise, Like ice about to melt you empty yourself of everything, it's cold and grey again, your body begins to fall, the colour blinds your eyes, the flavour dulls your taste of anything, you try to break out, but some thing's just locked the door(you'll get blue eyes if you stand too close to him and lalala lala you die inside your dream) I LOVE YOU LIKE YOU LOVE ME NOT, I LOVE YOU LIKE YOU LOVE ME NOT....

The Triffids....Well the drums rolled off in my forehead and the guns went off in my chest....

Remember carrying the baby for you, Crying in the wilderness, I lost track of my friends, I lost my kin, I cut them off as limbs, I drove out over the flatlands. hunting down you and him, The sky was big and empty, My chest filled to explode, I yelled my insides out at the sun, At the wide open road, it's a wide open road, it's a wide open road, How do you think it feels sleeping by yourself? when the one you love, the one you love, is with someone else, Then it's a wide open road, It's a wide open road and now you can go any place that you ever wanted to go, I wake up in the morning, thinking I'm still by your side, I reach out just to touch you, then I realise, It's a wide open road, It's a wide open road....

The Drums....Wake up, it's a beautiful morning....

Honey, while the stars are still shining, Wake up, would you like to go with me, Honey, take a run down to the beach, Oh momma, I wanna go surfin' Oh momma, I don't care about nothing, Wake up, there's a new kid in the town, Honey, he's moving into the big house, Remember when I was so very hopeless, Darling, he's gonna make it all better, Oh momma, I wanna go surfin' Oh momma, I don't care about nothing, Down down baby down by the rollercoaster....

Dalis Car....I question her around the clock, Hear myself say the world has stopped....

The first step is the worst, The dance is new, momentum high, Like swelling waves around, Hear myself say the flow has stopped, I ask can I be found? Humanity is young and sure, The judgement is the mirror, Mother Nature and all her work, The judgement is the mirror, The world confronts a change [us chained] The judgement is the mirror [It] Smile[s], conscious pain, The judgement is the mirror, The swords of men who criticize, The judgement is the mirror and this we spend to feed our pride, The judgement is the mirror, She offers me a line of truth, The danger in the mirror, She offers me a line of truth, The danger in the mirror, I question her 'round the clock, Hanging on her words, The world has stopped, The dance is new, The momentum high, Like swelling waves Around...

Klaxons....Send out a sound for the wood between the worlds....

Gently repeat as the boundaries start to swirl, Keep to the call that is twice now liminal, It’s not the same where the trails lead to the outer regions, Echoes from the otherworld turn horizons into endless ever present, Echoes, Many otherworlds true horizon start to turn, Numberless names withe the force of the ninth wave, Keep to the call that’s repeated in the outer regions, Echoes from the otherworld turn the horizon into endless ever present, Echoes, Many otherworlds true horizon makes the endless ever, Present echoes into otherworlds true horizons into the endless ever, Present echoes Many otherworlds true horizon takes a turn, Echoes reflect and change they serenade....

M.I.A. ....I fly like paper, get high like planes If you catch me at the border I got visas in my name....

If you come around here, I make 'em all day, I get one down in a second if you wait, Sometimes I feel sitting on trains, Every stop I get to I'm clocking that game, Everyone's a winner now we're making that fame, Bonafide hustler making my name, All I wanna do is *BANG BANG BANG BANG!* And *KKKAAAA CHING!* And take your money, Pirate skulls and bones, Sticks and stones and weed and bombs, Running when we hit 'em, Lethal poison through their system, No one on the corner has swag like us, Hit me on my banner prepaid wireless, We pack and deliver like UPS trucks, A radio in hell just pumping that gas, All I wanna do is *BANG BANG BANG BANG!* And *KKKAAAA CHING!* And take your money, M.I.A., Third world democracy, Yeah, I got more records than the K.G.B., So, uh, no funny business, Some some some I some I murder....

Test Icicles....As these days pass Underground breathe the air, Before you drown....

One more time...Another line, Slowly divides...Before the night is over, We could do with some more noises, Blinded by the burning lights, Turn them off, turn 'em off, Bodies break before they're white, Exposure sets before it's lost, Drawing lines, Making shapes, Stay alive, Sleep awake, We could do with some more poison and the end is hearing noises, Layers all exist within the beat, The shapes are moving all over the street, I can see that nothings moving, Is this something that's not worth losing? This will do...It'll do...Still we could...

Two Gallants....Well I spent last night in las cruces jail....

Rain and hail. born to fail. nobody come for to go my bail. sun don’t you rise no more. guess i killed one man on the county line. took his dime and i blew his mind. now i’m just sittin’ here doin’ time. sun don’t you rise no more. a restless wind is whistling through the canyons, through my head, through all the straits that i’ve survived. and in my hour of darkness i keep counsel with the dead, just enough to remind me i’m alive. i wrote to the governor for to hear my plea but he don’t even answer me. the judge said he’s bound to set my spirit free. sun don’t you rise no more. gavel fell, he chose the day, friday the thirteenth of may. but i don’t plan to go that way. sun don’t you rise no more. that’s twenty-one fell by my gun, with bullets in their brains. just need one more to match my age. then i’ll count my killin’ done but i won’t deny my name: quickest wrist of the chaparral and sage. now desperate times call for desperate men, i’m just a kid but i’ll pretend. my time will come but until then, sun don’t you rise no more....

Sparklehorse....Your face is like the sun sinking into the ocean....

Your face is like watching flowers growing in fast motion , All your kisses are swallowed, like the mornings that hollows , All vines and tree nuts will come unwound , baby you are my sunshine, my sunshine, please don't take my sunshine away , The grounded fireflys are little stars that are dying, returning to the earth, I can hear them crying , The Christmas bulbs that are swallowed, slept in a tree that's gone hollow , Never a brittle wintertime, baby you are my sunshine, sunshine, please don't take my sunshine away , Sunshine, my sunshine, please don't take my sunshine away....

Damien Rice....There's still a little bit of your taste in my mouth, There's still a little bit of you laced with my doubt....

It's still a little hard to say what's going on, There's still a little bit of your ghost your witness, There's still a little piece of your face I haven't kissed, You step a little closer each day, Still I can't see what's going on, Stones taught me to fly, Love taught me to lie, Life taught me to die, So it's not hard to fall, When you float like a cannonball, There's still a little bit of your song in my ear, There's still a little bit of your words I long to hear, You step a little closer to me, So close that I can't see what's going on, Stones taught me to fly, Love taught me to lie, Life taught me to die, So it's not hard to fall, When you float like a cannon, Stones taught me to fly, Love taught me to cry, So come on courage, Teach me to be shy, 'Cause it's not hard to fall and I don't want to scare her, It's not hard to fall and I don't wanna lose, It's not hard to grow, When you know that you just don't know

Erase Errata....What catastrophic insight You've scripted ....

Was like a sitcom, Like i want for obies And you hope for a series, Blood whithers to dust, Stick around for 7 seasons, I have studied costuming, I have good inflection, I move to the city, I practice my centering, A passion for acting filled me....

Interpol....All that I see show me your ways, teach me to meet my desires...

About a boy who's bleeding celebrate to elevate, The joy is not the same without the pain, Oooh, Ipso facto, Using up your oxygen, You know I'm shallow, Calling out for extra help, You've got to let me in, Or let me out, Oooh something to talk about, Oooh something to talk about, Oooh Oooh Oooh, I've been dreaming Of the things I learnt, About a boy who's leaving, Nothing else to chance again, You've got to let me in, Or let me out, Oooh something to talk about, Yeah something to talk about, Oooh Oooh Oooh....

Wilki....Every time of midnight, Every time we muddle again, Hold on lovely memories....

Every sound you bring out, Every time we suffer again, Holding lovely memories, Every stand of no way, Every town we muddle again, Call, I hold your memories, Every game of no sence, Every shame we offer in game, Hold on lovely memory, Son of the blue sky...Every time of midnight, Every time we muddle again, Call and hold flash memory, Every time of midnight, Every time of midnight, Call and hold flash memory, I'd rather say, Feeding some birds lost in a cage, Kicking one's hells havings no way to go, Strolling musicians up on the way, Pulling one's leg having no way to go, Feeding some birds lost in a cage there, Beeing so free, finding the way to be, Wondering how smart it happens to be, happens to be....

Coma....Spadam, Po woli spadam, W korytarze świateł, W pomruki znaczeń….

Spadam, Jakby nie było Calego świata, Jak by nie bylo nawet mnie, Spadam, Pomiędzy zdania W niedorzeczności bez wahania, Spadam, Chroni mnie wiara Niech będzie chwałą Bogu A w mojej duszy spokój, Spadam, Co się wyprawia? Cały w spadaniu Cały ze światła, Spadam, Jaka zabawa, Jaki tu spokój, Równowaga, Spadam, Nie czuje ciała, I tylko błagam O laskę trwanie jeszcze, Spadam, Zostaniesz sama a może to mój chory sen? A może śmierć? A może nie ma, Nie, nie ma, Mozę nie ma mnie? Nie, nie, nie, nie Sen? A może śmierć? A może nie ma, Nie, nie ma, nie, Mozę nie ma mnie? Nie, nie, nie, nie, nie, nie, Sen, Śmierć, A może nie ma, nie nie ma, Mozę nie ma mnie, Nie, nie, nie, nie, nie, nie....

The Gossip....Your back's against the wall, there's no-one home to call. You're forgetting who you are....

You can't stop crying, It's part not giving in and part trusting your friends, You do it all again and I'm not lying, Oh oh oh oh ohh Oh ohh, Oh ohh Oh oh oh oh ohh Oh ohh, Standing in the way of control, You live your life, Survive the only way that you know, know, I'm doing this for you, Because it's easier to lose and it's hard to face the truth, When you think you're dying, It's part not giving in and part trusting your friends, You do it all again, But you don't stop trying, Oh oh oh oh ohh Oh ohh, Oh ohh Oh oh oh oh ohh Oh ohh, Standing in the way of control, You live your life, Survive the only way that you know, know, Oh ohh Oh oh oh oh ohh Oh ohh, Oh ohh Oh oh oh oh ohh Oh ohh....

Bombay Bicycle Club.... Ghost : chasing the dream....

no I never pick up the pen, always assured but I like it when we pretend. You should be around, they should just say when, You should make time; you should make time for them, my ever changing ghost, I think he loves them the most, He always shows you where, how and when you went wrong, always planned but never get things done, I walk in the room and see you waltzing around, the love that you give is such a familiar sound, You just fly straight up and calm the fuck down, You see a house fall because you built it on the wrong ground, my ever changing ghost, I think he loves them the most, the most, He always shows you who....

Louis XIV....This soul has not yet been taken....

Could I request it back at once gratefully the sky's so blue, It's an ocean, an ocean with all sorts of life in it, but me, Why did you have to go away? Why did you have to go away? Mother, you'd scream at the king, like he's a servant from day one and you created a hole in his solid stability, You knocked him clear off his limestone rocker, Now he has left all this kingdom to me and I'm so afraid to rule alone, Now this kingdom, your closet, I’m locked in is now my home....

Pati Yang....I've heard magic through the door....

Half stairs up, I stopped: too fast, maybe the key will turn, four white walls and only one echo, I guess I talk to myself again with tens of voices, schizoframed, Soul for me a little, before the soul is gone, Shake a little and speak a little more, Soul for me a little, feel a little, If you can feel at all, I thought: On three, the miracle would become real, Isn't that what you said? and then left, since the door has shut, the silence screams, against the only prayer I've had: soul for me a little, before the soul is gone, shake a little and speak a little more, soul for me a little, feel a little, If you can feel at….

Cat Power .... Once I wanted to be the greatest, no wind or waterfall could stall me....

and then came the rush of the flood, Stars of night turned deep to dust, melt me down into big black armor, Leave no trace of grace just in your honor, Lower me down to culprit south, make 'em wash a space in town, for the lead and the dregs of my bed, I've been sleepin', lower me down, pin me in, secure the grounds for the later parade, Once I wanted to be the greatest, two fists of solid rock, with brains that could explain any feeling, Lower me down, pin me in,secure the grounds, for the lead and the dregs of my bed, I've been sleepin' for the later parade....

Cinema Strange.... In the fog, in the woods, at midnight, in a land where it's always winter....

I cut the thin skin of my ankles and the wind follows me like army. lashing like a bullwhip in the arctic, i fling icicles like bee-sting! stuck under glass, in the sphere, in the snowstorm, i shut my eyes and sleep in sleet!....

The Whitest Boy Alive....Hey, you, we just got started, You can't end this now....

Hey, you, we just got started, You can't end this now. You've payed your dues, you're free, of what are you afraid? You've payed your dues, you're free, of what are you afraid? Taking on responsibility knowing it will way you down...Freedom is a possibility only if you're able to say no. People in northern Europe since medieval times, We find it hard to deal with when our dreams come true. As it happens in success in the world that afflicts the mount, and if you feel up, somebody somewhere else feels down. Taking on responsibility knowing it will way you down...Freedom is a possibility only if you're able to say no. Taking on responsibility knowing it will way you down...Freedom is a possibility only if you're able to say no....

Phoenix .... Counting all different ideas drifting away Past and present they don’t matter, now the future’s sorted out....

Watch her moving in elliptical patterns, think it’s not what you say, What you say is way too complicated, for a minute thought I couldn’t tell how to fall out, It’s twenty seconds till the last call, You’re going hey hey hey hey hey hey, Lie down you know it’s easy, Like we did it over summer long and I’ll be anything you ask and more, you’re going hey hey hey hey hey hey hey, It’s not a miracle we needed, no I wouldn’t let you think so, Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it, Girlfriend, oh your girlfriend is drifting away, Past and present 1855 -1901 †, Watch them built up a meteor tower, think it’s not gonna stay anyway, think it’s overrated, for a minute thought I couldn’t tell how to fall out....
