The Man Who Sold The World - David Bowie (1970)

We passed upon the stair
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there
He said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise
I spoke into his eyes "I thought you died alone
A long, long time ago"

Oh no, not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world

I laughed and shook his hand
and made my way back home
I searched for form and land
For years and years, I roamed
I gazed a gazely stare
at all the millions here
We must have died alone
A long, long time ago

Who knows? not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world

Who knows? Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world

The Scratch - 7 Year Bitch (1994)

I want it
Give it to me
I love it
Don't give it to her
You've gotta give it to me

I want it
I saw it first
I want it worse
I love it
Give it to me
I love it
I love it
Give it to me

So maybe I didn't see it first but I'm the one who wants it worse
I don't even know what I'm wantin' yet but I know I'm wantin' somethin'
I don't even know what I'm missin' yet but I know I'm missin' somethin'
And if this is my name does it have to be my life
'Cuz I'm not gonna sit around while your with your wife

I want it
Give it to me
I love it
Don't give it to her
You've gotta give it to me
Me, me, me
Me, me, me

Well I'm the bitch and you got the itch I'm sorry said go fish
Yeah I'm the bitch and you got the itch I'm sorry said go fish
She didn't have it
He didn't have it

I will have my cake and I will eat it too just like you
You better watch out what you're wishing for
I will have my cake and I will eat it too just like you

Candy Everybody Wants - 10,000 Maniacs (1992)

Hey, Hey, give 'em what they want

If lust and hate is the candy
If blood and love taste so sweet
Then we give 'em what they want
Hey, Hey, give 'em what they want

So their eyes are growing hazy
'Cause they wanna turn it on
So their minds are soft and lazy, well
Hey, Hey, give 'em what they want

If lust and hate is the candy
If blood and love taste so sweet
Then we give 'em what they want

So their eyes are growing hazy
'Cause they wanna turn it on
So their minds are soft and lazy, well
Who do you wanna blame?

Hey, Hey, give 'em what they want

If lust and hate is the candy
If blood and love taste so sweet
Then we give 'em what they want

So their eyes are growing hazy
'Cause they wanna turn it on
So their minds are soft and lazy, well

Who do you wanna blame?

(I Just) Died In Your Arms Tonight - Cutting Crew (1986)

Oh, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight

I keep lookin' for somethin' I can't get
Broken hearts lie all around me
and I don't see an easy way to get out of this
Her diary, it sits by the bedside table
The curtains are closed, the cats in the cradle
Who would've thought that a boy like me could come to this

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away
I should've walked away

Is there any just cause for feelin' like this?
On the surface, I'm a name on a list
I try to be discreet, but then blow it again
I've lost and found, it's my final mistake
She's loving by proxy, no give and all take
'Cause i've been thrilled to fantasy one too many times

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away
I should've walked away

It was a long hot night
She made it easy, she made it feel right
But now it's over, the moment has gone
I followed my hands not my head, I know I was wrong

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away
I should've walked away

Everlong - Foo Fighters (1997)

Hello
I've waited here for you
everlong

Tonight, I throw myself into
and out of the red
Out of her head, she sang

Come down and waste away with me
Down with me
Slow, how you wanted it to be
I'm over my head
Out of her head, she sang

And I wonder
When I sing along with you

If everything could ever be this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang

Breathe out
so I can breathe you in
Hold you in
And now
I know you've always been
Out of your head
Out of my head, I sang

And I wonder
When I sing along with you

If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang

and I wonder

If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when

Wherever You Will Go - The Calling (2001)

So lately, been wondering
Who will be there to take my place
When I'm gone, you'll need love
To light the shadows on your face

If a great wave shall fall
It would fall upon us all
And between the sand and stone
Could you make it on your own?

If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go

And maybe I'll find out
A way to make it back some day
To watch you, to guide you
Through the darkest of your days

If a great wave shall fall
It would fall upon us all
Well, I hope there's someone out there
Who can bring me back to you

If I could, then I would I'll go wherever you will go Way up high or down low I'll go wherever you will go

Run away with my heart
Run away with my hope
Run away with my love

I know now, just quite how
My life and love might still go on
In your heart, in your mind
I'll stay with you for all of time

If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high, or down low
I'll go wherever you will go

If I could turn back time
I'll go wherever you will go
If I could make you mine
I'll go wherever you will go
I'll go wherever you will go

Seven Nation Army - The White Stripes (2003)

I'm gonna fight 'em off
A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Takin' their time right behind my back

And I'm talkin' to myself at night
because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
behind a cigarette

And the message comin' from my eyes
says, "Leave it alone"

Don't wanna hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
from the Queen of England to the Hounds of Hell

And if I catch it comin' back my way
I'm gonna serve it to you
And that ain't what you want to hear
but that's what I'll do

And the feelin' comin' from my bones
says, "Find a home"

I'm goin' to Wichita
Far from this opera forevermore
I'm gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore

And I'm bleedin', and I'm bleedin', and I'm bleedin'
right before the Lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me
And I will think no more

And the stains comin' from my blood
tell me, "Go back home"

Somewhere Only We Know - Keane (2004)

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete

Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old, and I need something to rely on
So, tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired, and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old, and I need something to rely on
So, tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired, and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So, why don't we go somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know

Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old, and I need something to rely on
So, tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired, and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So, why don't we go?
So, why don't we go?

Ooh, oh-oh
Ah, oh

This could be the end of everything
So, why don't we go somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know

The Reason - Hoobastank (2003)

I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's somethin' I must live with every day
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
And the reason is you
And the reason is you
And the reason is you

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you

I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

Yellow - Coldplay (2000)

Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And everything you do
Yeah, they were all yellow

I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called "Yellow"

So then I took my turn
Oh, what a thing to have done
And it was all yellow

Your skin, oh yeah, your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
And you know, you know I love you so
You know I love you so

I swam across
I jumped across for you
Oh, what a thing to do
'Cause you were all yellow

I drew a line
I drew a line for you
Oh, what a thing to do
And it was all yellow

And your skin, oh yeah, your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
And you know, for you, I'd bleed myself dry
For you, I'd bleed myself dry

It's true
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine

Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And all the things that you do

Like A Stone - Audioslave (2002)

On a cobweb afternoon
In a room full of emptiness
By a freeway I confess
I was lost in the pages
Of a book full of death
Reading how we'll die alone
And if we're good, we'll lay to rest
Anywhere we want to go

In your house, I long to be
Room by room, patiently
I'll wait for you there like a stone
I'll wait for you there alone

And on my deathbed I will pray
To the gods and the angels
Like a pagan to anyone
Who will take me to heaven
To a place I recall
I was there so long ago
The sky was bruised
The wine was bled
And there you led me on

In your house, I long to be
Room by room, patiently
I'll wait for you there
like a stone
I'll wait for you there alone, alone

And on I read
Until the day was gone
And I sat in regret
Of all the things I've done
For all that I've blessed
And all that I've wronged
In dreams until my death
I will wander on

In your house, I long to be
Room by room, patiently
I'll wait for you there
like a stone
I'll wait for you there alone, alone

Wild Horses - The Sundays (1992)

Childhood living is easy to do
The things that you wanted, I bought them for you
Graceless lady, you know who I am
You know I can't let you slide through my hands

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild horses couldn't drag me away

I watched you suffer a dull, aching pain
and now you've decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or offstage lines
could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away

Faith has been broken and tears must be cried
Let's do some living after we die

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them someday
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them someday

Bull In The Heather - Sonic Youth (1994)

10, 20, 30, 40
Tell me that you wanna hold me
Tell me that you wanna whore me
Tell me that you gotta show me
Tell me that you need to slowly
Tell me that you're burning for me
Tell me that you can't afford me

Time to tell your dirty story
Time turning over and over
Time turning, four leaf clover

Betting on the bull in the heather

10, 20, 30, 40
Tell me that you wanna scold me
Tell me that you adore me
Tell me that you're famous for me
Tell me that you're gonna score me
Tell me that you gotta show me
Tell me that you need to sorely

Time to tell your love story
Time turning over and over
Time turning, four leaf clover

Betting on the bull in the heather

Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division (1980)

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

Do you cry out in your sleep, all my failings exposed?
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

Then love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again

Into Dust - Mazzy Star (1993)

Still falling
Breathless and on again
Inside today
Beside me today
Around, broken in two
'Til your eyes shed into dust
Like two strangers turning into dust
'Til my hand shook with the weight of fear

I could possibly be fading
or have something more to gain
I could feel myself growing colder
I could feel myself under your fate
under your fate

It was you, breathless and tall
I could feel my eyes turning into dust
and two strangers turning into dust
Turning into dust

Fade Into You - Mazzy Star (1993)

I wanna hold the hand inside you
I wanna take the breath that's true
I look to you and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth

You live your life, you go in shadows
You'll come apart and you'll go blind
Some kind of night into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what's not there

Fade into you
Strange, you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew

A stranger light comes on slowly
A stranger's heart without a home
You put your hands into your head
and then smiles cover your heart

Fade into you
Strange, you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
Fade into you
Strange, you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
I think it's strange you never knew

Just Got Lucky - JoBoxers (1983)

Your technique
It leaves me weak
My heart knows
It's the beat I seek

And I found it
(Just got lucky)
Oh yes, I found it
(Just got lucky)

I never worry
That your love is fake
I'm free and easy
And I'm feeling jake

'Cause I found it
(Just got lucky)
Oh boy, I found it
(Just got lucky)

'Cause I never felt
this way before
Like a dog always
begging for more, yeah

I've been fooled
by love so many times
I gave up on all the silly rhymes
Kept my feelings
all inside my heart
A locked door
No key was cut
There was no fit
Now I'm such a very lucky guy
Gang way one side now
Come on hear me say

We found the answer
And it's plain to see
(Come on hear me say)
I'm for you and you're for me

'Cause I found it
(Just got lucky)
Together we found it
(Just got lucky)

I feel a quiver
Every time we kiss
The sky's the limit
With a love like this

'Cause I found it
(Just got lucky)
Together we found it
(Just got lucky)

'Cause I never felt
this way before
Like a dog always
begging for more, yeah

I've been fooled
by love so many times
I gave up on all the silly rhymes
Kept my feelings
all inside my heart
A locked door
No key was cut
There was no fit
Now I'm such a very lucky guy
Gang way one side now
Come on hear me say
Come on hear me say

Just got lucky
Just got lucky

Your technique
It leaves me weak
My heart knows
It's the beat I seek

And I found it
(Just got lucky)
Oh boy, I found it
(Just got lucky)

'Cause I never felt
this way before

Just got lucky
Just got lucky
Just got lucky
Just got lucky
Just got lucky
Just got lucky
Just got lucky
Just got lucky
Just got lucky
Just got lucky

Ghost Town - The Specials (1981)

This town is coming like a ghost town
All the clubs have been closed down
This place is coming like a ghost town
Bands won't play no more
Too much fighting on the dance floor

Do you remember the good old days
before the ghost town?
We danced and sang and the music played
In-a-de boomtown

This town (town) is coming like a ghost town
Why must the youth fight against themselves?
Government leaving the youth on the shelf
This place (town) is coming like a ghost town
No job to be found in this country
Can't go on no more
The people getting angry

This town is coming like a ghost town
This town is coming like a ghost town
This town is coming like a ghost town
This town is coming like a ghost town

I'll Be Your Mirror - The Velvet Underground & Nico (1967)

I'll be your mirror
Reflect what you are, in case you don't know
I'll be the wind, the rain, and the sunset
The light on your door to show that you're home

When you think the night has seen your mind
That inside you're twisted and unkind
Let me stand to show that you are blind
Please, put down your hands
'Cause I see you

I find it hard to believe you don't know
The beauty you are
But if you don't, let me be your eyes
A hand to your darkness so you won't be afraid

When you think the night has seen your mind
That inside you're twisted and unkind
Let me stand to show that you are blind
Please, put down your hands
'Cause I see you

I'll be your mirror (reflect what you are)
I'll be your mirror (reflect what you are)
I'll be your mirror (reflect what you are)
I'll be your mirror (reflect what you are)
I'll be your mirror (reflect what you are)

Virginia Plain - Roxy Music (1972)

Make me a deal and make it straight
All signed and sealed, I'll take it
To Robert E. Lee, I'll show it
I hope and pray he don't blow it 'cause

We've been around a long time
Just tryin' to, tryin' to but you
Make the big time

Take me on a roller coaster
Take me for an airplane ride
Take me for a six days wonder
But don't you, don't you throw my pride aside besides

What's real and make-believe?
Baby Jane's in Acapulco
We are flyin' down to Rio

Throw me a line, I'm sinking fast
Clutching at straws, can't make it
Havana sound, we're trying
A hard edge, the hipster jiving, oh

Last picture shows down the drive-in
You're so sheer, you're so chic
Teenage rebel of the week

Flavours of the mountain streamline
Midnight blue casino floors
Dance the cha-cha through 'til sunrise
Opens up exclusive doors, oh wow

Just like flamingos, look the same
So me and you, just we two
Got to search for something new

Far beyond the pale horizon
Some place near the desert strand
Where my Studebaker takes me
That's where I'll make my stand
But wait
Can't you see that Holzer mane?
What's her name?
Virginia Plain

I Wanna Be Your Dog - The Stooges (1969)

So messed up I want you here

And I'll lay right down In my favorite place

And now I wanna be your dog
And now I wanna be your dog
And now I wanna be your dog

Well, come on

Now I'm ready to close my eyes
And now I'm ready to close my mind
And now I'm ready to feel your hand
And lose my heart on the burning sands

And now I wanna be your dog
And now I wanna be your dog
And now I wanna be your dog

Well, come on

Woo, mm, woo

Cosmic Dancer - T. Rex (1971)

I was dancing when I was twelve
I was dancing when I was twelve
I was dancing when I was out
I was dancing when I was out

I danced myself right out the womb
I danced myself right out the womb
Is it strange to dance so soon?
I danced myself right out the womb

I was dancing when I was eight
I was dancing when I was eight
Is it strange to dance so late?
Is it strange to dance so late?

Ohh, ohh, ohh-oh

I danced myself into the tomb
I danced myself into the tomb
Is it strange to dance so soon?
I danced myself into the tomb

Is it wrong to understand
the fear that dwells inside a man?
What's it like to be a loon?
I liken it to a balloon

Ohh, ohh, ohh-oh

I danced myself out of the womb
I danced myself out of the womb
Is it strange to dance so soon?
I danced myself into the tomb

I danced myself out of the womb

Is it strange to dance so soon?
I danced myself out of the womb

Ohh, ohh, ohh-oh

All We Ever Wanted Was Everything - Bauhaus (1982)

All we ever wanted was everything
All we ever got was cold
Get up, eat jelly
Sandwich bars, and barbed wire
Squash every week into a day

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

The sound of the drum is calling
Sound of the drum has called
Flash of youth, shoot out of darkness
Factory town

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh to be the cream
Oh to be the cream
Oh to be the cream
Oh to be the cream
Oh to be the cream
Oh to be the cream

Thompson Twins - If You Were Here (1983)

If you were here
I could deceive you
And if you were here
You would believe

But would you suspect
my emotion wandering, yeah
Do not want a part of this anymore

The rain water drips
through a crack in the ceiling
And i'll have to spend
My time on repair

But just like the rain
I'll be always falling, yeah
Only to rise and fall again

If you were here
I could deceive you
And if you were here
You would believe

But would you suspect
my emotion wandering, yeah
Do not want a part of this anymore

Boys In The Gang - 999 (1980)

There's no one missing a single beat
High tension sound so neat
Over reaction get off your seat

We're with the boys in the gang
We're with the boys in the gang

Don't understand don't ask me why
Some kind of reason, some kind of high
It's something that you want to try

We're with the boys in the gang
We're with the boys in the gang

What is this feeling that i've got inside?
It can take me for a ride... a ride
It's something that you want to find

We're with the boys in the gang
We're with the boys in the gang
We're with the boys in the gang
We're with the boys in the gang
We're with the boys in the gang

Steady, As She Goes - The Raconteurs (2006)

Find yourself a girl and settle down
Live a simple life in a quiet town
Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
So steady as she goes

Your friends have shown a kink in the single life
You've had too much to think, now you need a wife
Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
So steady as she goes (steady as she goes)

Well, here we go again
You've found yourself a friend that knows you well
But no matter what you do
You'll always feel as though you tripped and fell
So steady as she goes

When you have completed what you thought you had to do
And your blood's depleted to the point of stable glue
Then you'll get along
And then you'll get along
Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
So steady as she goes (steady as she goes)

Well, here we go again
You've found yourself a friend that knows you well
But no matter what you do
You'll always feel as though you tripped and fell
So steady as she goes
Steady as she goes

Settle for a world, neither up or down
Sell it to the crowd that is gathered 'round
Settle for a girl, neither up or down
Sell it to the crowd that is gathered 'round
So steady as she goes (steady as she goes)

Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
So steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
Steady as she goes, are you steady now?
Steady as she goes, are you steady now?
Steady as she goes, are you steady now?
Steady as she goes, are you steady now?
Steady as she goes

All In My Mind - Love And Rockets (1986)

Walk around so cold
So cold, so lonely
Or lay in bed wondering what
To do with time, time, time, time
You've got no sense of fun
until you know you've won again
And yet you feel so much
You feel so much inside

You want to rip all the jewels
off all the idiots' backs so badly
You scream give me what I've always missed
Give me a good time
But if you look into your mirror
You'll see that nobody
has ever ripped you off
It's all in your mind

doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo

Her beauty can only ever be skin deep
But if I'm honest that's all I ever really need
So throw us some flowers and we'll
give you some songs and sunshine
And if you give me an hour
I'll show you how you feel

doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo

Ohhh, baby
Ohhh, I'm much too lazy
Ohhh, ohhh

It's all in my mind
So don't be unkind
It's all in my mind
It's all in my mind

Sometimes you really don't
Really don't
Really don't know what I mean
Sometimes you really don't
Really don't
Really don't
Know what I need

I say I've got no sense of fun
until I know I've won again
And how do you think
Yes, how do you think that feels?
So, just give me an hour
I'll show you how you feel

doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo

Ohhh, baby
Ohhh, I'm much too lazy
Ohhh, baby
Ohhh, ohhh

It's all in my mind
So don't be unkind
It's all in my mind

Reptile - The Church (1988)

Too dangerous to keep
Too feeble to let go
And you want to bite the hand
Should have stopped this long ago

Go now, you've been set free
Another month or so you'll be gorging on me
with your lovely smile
I see you slither away with your skin and your tail
Your flickering tongue and your rattling scales
Like a real reptile

Had you coiled round my arm
How could you ever know?
How I loved your diamond eyes
But that was long ago

Go now, you've been set free
Another month or so you'll be poisoning me
With your lovely smile
I see you slither away with your skin and your tail
Your flickering tongue and your rattling scales
Like a real reptile

And I should have believed Eve
She said we had to blow
She was the apple of my eye
It wasn't long ago

Go now, you've been set free
Another month or so you'll be poisoning me
With your lovely smile
I see you slither away with your skin and your tail
Your flickering tongue and your rattling scales
Like a real reptile

Oh, go
Go now, you've been set free
Another month or so you'll be poisoning me
With your lovely smile
I see you slither away with your skin and your tail
Your flickering tongue and your rattling scales
Like a real reptile
