Portishead - The Rip
As she walks in the room
Scented and tall
Hesitating once more
And as I take on myself
And the bitterness I felt
I realise that love flows
Wild, white horses
They will take me away
And the tenderness I feel
Will send the dark underneath
Will I follow?
Through the glory of life
I will scatter on the floor
Disappointed and sore
And in my thoughts I have bled
For the riddles I've been fed
Another lie moves over
Wild, white horses
They will take me away
And the tenderness I feel
Will send the dark underneath
Will I follow?
Wild, white horses
They will take me away
And the tenderness I feel
Will send the dark underneath
Will I follow?
Antony And The Johnsons - The Lake
The Lake. To —
by Edgar Allan Poe
In youth's spring it was my lot
To haunt of the wide world a spot
The which I could not love the less,
So lovely was the loneliness
Of a wild lake with black rock bound,
And the tall pines that tower'd around —
But when the night had thrown her pall
Upon that spot, as upon all,
And the ghastly wind went by
In a dirge-like melody,
Then — ah then I would awake
To the terror of the lone lake.
Yet that terror was not fright,
But a tremulous delight —
A feeling not the jewell'd mine
Could teach or bribe me to define,
Nor love — although the love were thine.
Death was in that poison'd wave,
And in its depth a fitting grave
For him who thence could solace bring
To his lone imagining —
Whose solitary soul could make
An Eden of that dim lake.

Cocteau Twins - Lorelei
Kick his chain, Kick his pride
Get him soaked hit run
Lift up your toes
In my mouth
And we can make love
And we can go
We're covered by the sacred fire
When you come to me, you come to broke
Without a doubt
We're covered by the sacred fire
When you come to me, you come to me broke
Guilty girl, Guilty boy
Get to make out
Him chocked with mousse
Lift up your toes
In my mouth
And we can make love
And we can go

Radiohead - Nude
Don't get any big ideas
They're not gonna happen
You paint your smile
And fill the holes
There'll be something missing
Just when you found it
It's gone
Just when you feel it
You don't
It's gone forever
She stands stark naked
And she beckons you to bed
Don't go, you'll only want
To come back again
So don't get any big ideas
They're not gonna happen
You'll go to Hell
For what your
Dirty mind is thinking
And now that you found it
It's gone
Now that you feel it
You don't
It's gone forever

Eels - Electro Shock Blues
Feeling scared today
Write down "i am ok"
A hundred times the doctors say
I am ok
I am ok
I'm not ok
Skin is crawling off
Mopping the sweaty drops
Sticking around for this shit
Another day
Another day
Not another day
Pink pill feels good
Finally understood
Take me in your warm embrace
I am trying
I am trying

Björk - Unravel
While you are away
My heart comes undone
Slowly unravels
In a ball of yarn
The devil collects it
With a grin
Our love
In a ball of yarn
He'll never return it
So when you come back
We'll have to make new love
He'll never return it
When you come back
We'll have to make new love

Björk - Hunter
if travel is searching
and home has been found
i'm not stopping
i'm going hunting
i'm the hunter
i'll bring back the goods
but i don't know when
thought that i could organise freedom
how scandinavian of me
you sussed it out, didn't you?
you could smell it
so you left me on my own
to complete the mission
now i'm leaving it all behind
i'm going hunting
i'm the hunter...
(you just didn't know me!)
(you just didn't know me!)

Massive Attack - Better Things
Don't drag me down
Just because you're down
And just cause you're blue
Don't make me too
And though you've found
You need more than me
Don't talk to me
About being free
That's freedom without love
And magic without love
Magic without love
Hear me say
Better things will surely come our way
Hear me say
Better things will surely come our way
You say the magic's gone
Well i'm not a magician
You say the spark's gone
Well get an electrician
And save your line about needing to be free
All that's bullshit babe
You just want rid of me
You want freedom without love
And magic without love
Magic without love
Yeah
Hear me say
Better things will surely come my way
Hear me say
Better things will surely come my way

Suede - Obsessions
It's the way you scratch your skin when you yawn
It's the t-shirts that you choose
like you're in the Air Force
Yeah the language that you use reacts like chemicals
Obsessions in my head
Don't connect with my intellect
It's called obsession
Can you handle it?
It's connected to the hip sounds
And it moves with the underground
It's called obsession
When you're around
It's the way you close the doors of my car
It's the stupid things you bought with my credit card
It's the way you don't read Camus or Brett Easton Ellis
Yeah the TCP you use, it stings when we kiss
Obsessions in my head
Don't connect with my intellect
It's called obsession
Can you handle it?
It's connected to the hip sounds
And it moves with the underground
It's called obsession
When you're around
Obsessions is like sex
It's simple and complex
It's called obsession
Can you handle it?
It's connected to the hip sounds
And it moves with the underground
It's called obsession
When you're around

Nick Cave - Into my arms
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
But 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 candles burning
And make her journey bright and pure
That she will keep returning
Always and evermore
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

Junior Boys - FM
Let's leave tonight
one last time
before it gets to cold
just one more round
in that tourist town
with another home for sale
and then one more year
becomes one more year
and you'll forget me soon i fear
through the crooked roads
and the static codes
on the hotel radios
[missing]... broken down again
[missing]... so still around .... from the rain
[missing]... and it won't play
[missing]... till you say you're ok
and the motor starts
it's cold and vicious heart
moves me close to you each day
and when i arrive
my god you'll be surprised
of all the lines that changed
and one more year
becomes one more year
and lights become less clear
so let's meet the road
tonight we'll drive back home
forget the hotel radios
[missing]... broken down again
[missing]... so still around .... from the rain
[missing]... and it won't play
[missing]... till you say you're ok
The Walkabouts - The Light Will Stay On
I go to sleep, before
the devil wakes
and I wake up, before
the angels take
all my worldly desires
all my yardsticks of fear
all my secrets untold
all my motives unclear
hangin' down in the fire
burnin' them higher
won't take them away from here
and long after we're gone
the light will stay on X2
watched the city ... city of crows
watched them fly, watched
'em all flyin' low
out above the flood plain
just above the dirt road
they were hungry as winter,
hungry as us
not afraid to be flyin', not
afraid to be lost
and long after we're gone
the light will stay on X2
and if you bury me, add
three feet to it
one for your sorrow, two
for your sweat
three for the strange
things we never forget
and long after we're gone
the light will stay on X2
and long after we're safe
the lights will not fade X2

Spiritualized - Broken Heart
Though I have a broken heart
Im too busy to be heartbroken
Theres a lot of things that need to be done
Lord I have a broken heart
Though I have a broken dream
Im too busy to be dreaming of you
Theres a lot of things that I gotta do
Lord I have a broken dream
And Im wasted all the time
Ive gotta drink you right off of my mind
Ive been told that this will heal given time
Lord I have a broken heart
And Im crying all the time
I have to keep it covered up with a smile
And Ill keep on moving on for a while
Lord I have a broken heart

Jay Jay Johanson "Only for you"
Every night, every day
And what would you like me to show you
What would you like me to say
Despite these silent mysteries and certain violent cuts
There is a chance for future histories 'bout us
Despite these silent mysteries and certain violent cuts
There is a chance for future histories 'bout us
I know that you're watching me closely
I know you see right through me
So tell me what makes you excited
Is this the way you want it to be
Despite these silent mysteries and certain violent cuts
There is a chance for future histories 'bout us
Despite these silent mysteries and certain violent cuts
There is a chance for future histories 'bout us
You know I can't promise to make it
Something was left unsaid
The next thing you know I'll be different
I guess it's all in your head
Despite these silent mysteries and certain violent cuts
There is a chance for future histories 'bout us
Despite these silent mysteries and certain violent cuts
There is a chance for future histories 'bout us
