Grow On Grow Up Grow Out - Moving Mountains

Oh god, what the f*ck is wrong with me and everyone? It's you and me, someday we'll see the end. Because you're in the sky, and I am in the earth, but this time it's different I swear to god. The sun's exploding within my arms, and it's getting warmer, and I can see that the sun is truly in love with me.

Show Me How To Live - Audioslave

In with the early dawn, moving right along I couldn't buy an eyeful of sleep. And in the aching night under satellite I was not received. With the stolen parts, a telephone in my heart, someone get me a priest, to put my mind to bed, this ringing in my head. Is this a cure or is this a disease. Nail in my hand from my creator, you gave me life now show me how to live. In the afterbirth on the quiet earth, let these things remind you, you thought you made a man, you better think again. Before my role defines you. Nail in my hand from my creator, you gave me life now show me how to live. And in your waiting hands I will land and roll out of my skin, and in your final hours I will stand ready to begin. Nail in my hand from my creator, you gave me life now show me how to live.

Drumming Song

There's a drumming noise inside my head that starts when you're around. I swear that you could hear it, it makes such an almighty sound. There's a drumming noise inside my head, that throws me to the ground. I swear that you should hear it, it makes such an all mighty sound. Louder than sirens, louder than bells, sweeter than heaven and hotter than hell. I ran to a tower where the church bells chime, I hoped that they would clear my mind. They left a ringing in my ear, but that drum's still beating loud and clear. Louder than sirens, louder than bells, sweeter than heaven, and hotter than hell. As I move my feet towards your body, I can hear this beat it fills my head up. And gets louder and louder. It fills my head up and gets louder and louder. I run to the river and dive straight in, I pray that the water will drown out the din. But as the water fills my mouth it couldn't wash the echoes out, but as the water fills my mouth it couldn't wash the echoes out. I swallow the sound and it swallows me whole til there's nothing left inside my soul. As empty as that beating drum but the sound has just begun. As I move my feet towards your body, I can hear this beat it fills my head up and gets louder and louder. It fills my head up and gets louder and louder. There's a drumming noise inside my head that starts when you're around. I swear that you could hear it, it makes such an almighty sound.

Teardrops - Jose Gonzalez

Love, love is a verb. Love is a doing word. Fearless on my breath, gentle impulsion, shakes me makes me lighter. Fearless on my breath. Teardrop on the fire, fearless on my breath. Nine nights of matter, black flowers blossom, fearless on my breath. Teardrop on the fire of a confession, fearless on my breath. Black flowers blossom, fearless on my breath. Water as my eye most faithful mirror, fearless on my breath. Teardrop on the fire of a confession, fearless on my breath. Most faithful mirror, fearless on my breath. Teardrop on the fire, fearless on my breath. You're stumbling into awe, you're stumbling into awe.

Signs - Bloc Party

Two ravens in the old oak tree and, one for you and one for me and bluebells in the late December, I see signs now all the time. The last time we slept together, there was something that was not there. You never wanted to alarm me but I'm the one that's drowning now. I could sleep forever these days, because in my dreams I see you again. But this time fleshed out, fuller faced, in your confirmation dress. It was so like you to visit me to let me know you were okay, it was so like you to visit me, you always worried about someone else. At your funeral I was so upset, so upset, so upset. In your life you were larger than this, statue-statuesque. I see signs now all the time that you're not dead, you're sleeping. I believe in anything that brings you back home to me.

Calm Like A Bomb - Rage Against The Machine

I be walkin' god like a dog my narrative fearless. My word war returns to burn like Baldwin home from Paris, like steel from a furnace. I was born landless, this is the native son born of Zapata's guns. Stroll through the shanties and the city's remains, same bodies buried hungry but with different last names. These vultures rob everything, leave nothing but chains. Pick a point on the globe, yes the picture's the same. There's a bank, there's a church a myth and a hearse. A mall and a loan a child dead at birth. There's a widow pig parrot, a rebel to tame, a whitehooded judge, a syringe and a vein. And the riot be the rhyme of the unheard. Calm like a bomb! (Ignite, ignite, ignite!) This ain't subliminal, feel the critical mass approach horizon, the pulse of the condemned. Sound off America's demise, the anti-myth rhythm rock shocker, yes I spit fire. Hope lies in the smoldering rubble of empires, yes back through the shanties and the city's remains. The same bodies buried hungry, but with different last names. These vultures rob everyone, leave nothing but chains. Pick a point here at home, yes the picture's the same. Some corn and some debt, there's a ditch full of bodies, the check for the rent. There's a tap, the phone, the silence of stone. The numb black screen, that be feelin' like home. Calm like a bomb! (Ignite, ignite, ignite!) There's a mass without roofs, there's a prison to fill, there's a country's soul that reads Post No Bills. There's a strike and a line of cops outside the mill. There's a right to obey, and a right to kill. There's a mass without roofs, there's a prison to fill, there's a country's soul that reads Post No Bills. There's a strike and a line of cops outside the mill, there's a right to obey and there's a right to kill.

No Sound But The Wind - Editors

We can never go home, we no longer have one. I'll help you carry the load, I'll carry you in my arms. The kiss of the snow the crescent moon above us, our blood is cold and we're alone. But I'm alone with you. Help me to carry the fire, we will keep it alight together. Help me to carry the fire, it will light our way forever. If I say shut your eyes, if I say look away. Put your face in my shoulder, think of a birthday. The things you put in your head, they will stay there forever. Our blood is cold and we're alone, but I'm alone with you. Help me to carry the fire, we will keep it alight together. Help me to carry the fire, it will light our way forever. If I say shut your eyes, if I say shut your eyes, bury me in surprise, when I say shut your eyes. Help me to carry the fire, we will keep it alight together. Help me to carry the fire, it will our way forever.

Hast Thou Considered The Tetrapod - The Mountain Goats

You are sleeping off your demons, when I come home. Spittle bubbling on your lips, fine white foam. I am young and I am good, it's a hot southern California day. If I wake you up, there will be hell to pay. And alone in my room, I am the last of lost civilization. I vanish into the dark and rise above my station, rise above my station. But I do wake you up and when I do, you blaze down the hall and you scream. I'm in my room with the headphones on deep in the dream chamber, and then I'm awake and I'm guarding my face. Hoping you don't break my stereo, because it's the one thing that I couldn't live without. And so I think about that, and then I sorta black out. Held under these smothering waves, by your strong and thick-veined hand. One of these days, I'm gonna wriggle up on dry land.

Warp Zone/Hidden Bridge - Chad VanGaalen

On level nine there is a warp zone, and if you enter it you'll have to walk alone. What looks like lava is actually a hidden bridge. So walk over it, yeah walk over it. Don't be sad. Sometimes the radio plays to no one. Sometimes the radio plays to everyone at once. Tonight I'll be singing along. Sometimes the radio plays to no one, sometimes the radio plays to everyone at once, so tonight I'll be singing along. So don't be sad, don't be sad.

Biko - Mogwai

For my sweetheart the melancholic, you've crossed the river Styx, and the waves have taken you away. As I lay my head on your chest, I can hear it your veins. Wake me up when you come to bed. Was my love strong enough to bring you back from the dead? If I could eat your cancer I would but I can't, so I keep writing these songs for you to steal you from your gray. And we can dance in our front room again. Don't you know that when you stand, you stand up for the both of us, remember that when the darkness looms. Every tear you shed is cleansing, taking the pain away from you. I left you blueberries in the fridge, the little things that I can do.

Thunder And Lightning - We Were Promised Jetpacks

Right foot, followed by a left foot. We'll guide you home before your curfew and into your bed. Standing on our tip-toes, peering through open windows. I swear I heard my name. Sit tight with the lights off, waiting for my brain to start. Trying to work things out. It's thunder and it's lighting, and it's all things too frightening, I could barely see outside. Your body was black and blue, it struck twice there's nothing new. And it's thunder, and it's lightning, coming home. I have to say goodnight.

Eating Spiders - Psapp

There's a man in the street who tells me that he loves me. God is everywhere, he says he lives above me. I know more about this man, than I know about you. Further than we go, in what we go through. We are small, we are small people. There's a day in a month, when I know why we're here. And no one drags us down, when you flip my gear. My mother doesn't love you, even though she tries. I told her so many things, I forget the lies. We are small, we are small people. You will take the whole of me, the whole of me.

Discipline - Nine Inch Nails

Am I - Am I still tough enough? Feels like I'm wearing down, down, down, down, down. Is my viciousness, losing ground, ground, ground, ground, ground? Am I taking too much? Did I cross the line, line, line? I need my role in this very clearly defined. I need your discipline, I need your help. I need your discipline, you know once I start I cannot help myself. And now it's starting up, feels like I'm losing touch, nothing matters to me, nothing matters as much. I see you left a mark, up and down my skin, skin, skin. I don't know where I end, and where you begin. I can not stop myself. Once I start I can not stop myself.

Count Of Casualty - Patrick Wolf

Awake yon' minister, there is message to be delivered. Awake young passenger, awake your country. You're going to need to find some strength now, to wake up! In this war without an end, what peace do you defend? In this war without an end, what peace do you depend on? I dare you. Log off, sign out, delete your friends, start to count your. Count your casual. Count your casualty, count your casual, count your casualty. Wake up! In this war without an end, what peace do you defend? In this war without an end, what peace do you depend on? Start! 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, thousand human lives, human lives.

Blinding - Florence And The Machine

Seems that I have been held, in some dreaming state. A tourist in the waking world, never quite awake. No kiss, no gentle word could wake me from this slumber, until I realize that it was you who held me under. Felt it in my fist, in my feet, in the hollows of my eyelids. Shaking through my skull, through my spine and down through my ribs. No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone, no more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden. No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love. And I could hear the thunder and see the lightning crack. All around the world was waking, I never could go back, cos all the walls of dreaming, they were torn right open, and finally it seemed that the spell was broken. And all my bones began to shake, my eyes flew open. No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone. No more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden. Snow White's stitching up the circuit-boards, synapse slipping through the hidden door. Snow White's stitching up the circuit-board. No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone. Snow White's stitching up the circuit-boards, synapse slipping through the hidden door.

Sons And Daughters - The Decemberists

When we arrive, sons and daughters, we'll make our homes on the water. We'll build our walls aluminum, we'll fill our mouths with cinnamon now. These currents pull us across the border, steady your boats, arms to shoulder. Until tides are pulled, hold our grounds, making this cold harbor now home. Take up your arms, sons and daughters, we will arise from the bunkers. By land, by sea, by dirigible, we'll leave our tracks untraceable now. When we arrive, sons and daughters. We'll make our homes on the water, we'll build our walls aluminum, we'll fill our mouths cinnamon. Hear all the bombs fade away, hear all the bombs fade away.

Molten Light - Chad VanGaalen

They dumped her body into the molten light. Floated to the surface and it did not ignite. She rose up slowly and walked to the shore, she stood up on the bank and whispered: I'll find you and I'll kill you, I'll find you and I'll kill you, I'll find you and I'll kill you. They ran back into town and hid in the church, they explained their situation and they feared for the worst. The priest told the brothers that she could not be killed. She flew out of the stone cold ground and she'll find you and she'll kill you, she'll find you and she'll kill you. She'll find you and she'll kill you. There was a knock at that door that shook through their hearts. She blew it right open and put it apart, she shot a string of flame from the center of her chest. As she watched their bodies burn she whispered: I found you and I killed you, I found you and I killed you, I found you and I killed you.

Noro - Brand New

Little light, lead us through the night, and if we die, burn down the forest. Chariots, carry us distances we don't care to walk. I'm on my way out. Why doesn't anyone I know sleep? Are they all just scared of their dreams? When they lay their heads down at night, what are they haunted by? Why won't anyone just close their eyes? Could it hurt them to rest for a while? Do they need their friends to be a lover, or a lover to be a friend? Because I'm on my way out, well, I've tried, God knows that I've tried. I'm on my way out, one time, two times, three times again. Sitting duck, running out of luck. Our car's stuck on the train crossing. How am I ever gonna know peace? How will I ever see your light through the trees? I want to burn down everything we've begun, I want to kill and eat my young. Because I'm on my way out, well, I've tried, God knows that I've tried. I'm on my way out.

The Climb - Miley Cyrus

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side
It's the climb

Love For a Child - Jason Mraz

And then you woke up at the bottom by the drain
And now your altitude and memory’s a shame
What about taking this empty cup and filling it up
With a little bit of more innocence I haven’t had enough
It’s probably because when you are young,
It’s ok to be easily ignored
I’d like to believe it was all about love for a child

And when the house was left in shambles
who was there to handle all the broken bits of glass..

 

[Teller]

If I’m wrong than makes you right
If I’m week that makes you strong
Tell me who made that equation
Do they know they’ve got it wrong?
Let’s demand an explanation from God or someone.

Oh build a time machine
Now wouldn’t that be clever
Erase everything and change the past together
What I really mean is I love you now forever
Does it scare you boy, will it terrifies me.

Your anger resonates and than I see his face
The man who knocked me down, took me to another place
Give me everything and nothing
I need to keep the faith I have in God or someone.

Time Machine - Boy George ft. Amanda Ghost

For The Widows In Paradise - Sufjan Stevens

I have called you children, I have called you son. What is there to answer if I'm the only one? Morning comes in Paradise, morning comes in light. Still I must obey, still I must invite. If there's anything to say, if there's anything to do, if there's any other way, I'll do anything for you. I was dressed embarrassment, I was dressed in wine. If you have a part of me, will you take your time? Even if I come back, even if I die. Is there some idea to replace my life? Like a father to impress, like a mother's mourning dress, if I ever make a mess, I'll do anything for you. I have called you preacher, I have called you son. If you have a father, or if you haven't one. I'll do anything for you, I'll do anything for you, I'll do anything for you. I did everything for you, I did everything for you, I did everything for you.

Shaking Paper - Cat Power

Hold the gun way deep down. Look out young son, look out young son, cause a good thing's coming. Big shot guns with no guns, big shot army with no army at all. I don't know what is worse, I can't tell what is the best. People despise the way of the world, demons despise the sound of shaking paper. Guess what? I found out, that you do too. Hold the gun way deep down. Look out young son, look out young son, cause a good thing's coming.

Optimistic - Radiohead

Flies are buzzing around my head, vultures circling the dead, picking up every last crumb. The big fish eat the little ones, the big fish eat the little ones, not my problem give me some. You can try the best you can, if you try the best you can. The best you can is good enough. This one's optimistic, this one went to market, this one just came out of the swamp. This one dropped a payload, fodder for the animals living on an animal farm. I'd really like to help you man, nervous messed up marionette floating around on a prison ship. If you try the best you can, dinosaurs roaming the earth.

 

[The Albatross]

Don't Give Up, Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush

In this proud land we grew up strong
we were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail

No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
but no one wants you when you lose

Don't give up
'cos you have friends
don't give up
you're not beaten yet
don't give up
I know you can make it good

Though I saw it all around
never thought I could be affected
thought that we'd be the last to go
it is so strange the way things turn

Drove the night toward my home
the place that I was born, on the lakeside
as daylight broke, I saw the earth
the trees had burned down to the ground
don't give up
you still have us
don't give up
we don't need much of anything
don't give up
'cause somewhere there's a place
where we belong

Rest your head
you worry too much
it's going to be alright
when times get rough
you can fall back on us
don't give up
please don't give up

Got to walk out of here
I can't take anymore
going to stand on that bridge
keep my eyes down below
whatever may come
and whatever may go
that river's flowing
that river's flowing

Moved on to another town
tried hard to settle down
for every job, so many men
so many men no-one needs

Don't give up
'cause you have friends
don't give up
you're not the only one
don't give up
no reason to be ashamed
don't give up
you still have us
don't give up now
we're proud of who you are
don't give up
you know it's never been easy
don't give up
'cause I believe there's the a place
there's a place where we belong

Colorblind, Counting Crows

I am colorblind
Coffee black and egg white
Pull me out from inside
I am ready, I am ready I am ready
I am taffy stuck and tongue tied
Stutter-shook and uptight
Pull me out from inside
I am ready, I am ready, I am ready
I am fine
I am covered in skin
No one gets to come in
Pull me out from inside
I am folded and unfolded and unfolding
I am colorblind
Coffee black and egg white
Pull me out from inside
I am ready, I am ready, I am ready
I am fine, I am fine, I am fine

Arrows, David Crosby (Crosby, Stills & Nash)

Arrows turned inward are good for the soul
I have a thing about arrows
And diamonds and coal
Pressure turning carbon to jewels
Slowly they aim at my iron mark
Flaming healing arrows
They beat at my heart
Angels turning metal to tools
I don't care what you think has got you down
You can turn it around
I don't care what you think turn it around
Turn it around, turn it around
The times that I knew I could never get through
That's when I grew up the most
And alone sounds so sad
But alone I found the best friend I had
I don't care what you think has got you down
You can turn it around
I don't care what you think turn it around
Turn it around, turn it around
Arrows turned inward are good for the soul
Piercing through every callus
They always get through
My target is a heart no-one fools

 

[The Albatross]

House of Broken Dreams (Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young)

Living in a house of broken dreams,
Where shadows throw shadows on the wall,
And memories are mountains to climb
Knowing everyone can fall.

And here where the cobwebs count the hours.
Since we let the laughter clear the air,
Painfully trying to touch
Knowing that we used to care.

Separate houses, separate hearts,
It's hard to face the feelings tearing us apart.
And in this house of broken dreams love lies.

Can we keep our castles in the air
While we're keeping both feet on the ground?
`Cos if your heart can touch another heart
Love can turn it all around.

Get rid of those empty glances and empty sighs
Or tears of longing will fill your eyes.
In this house of broken dreams love hides.

Metallica - Until it sleeps

Where do I take this pain of mine
I run but it stays right by my side
So tear me open and put me out
There's things inside that scream and shout
And the pain still hates me
So hold me until it sleeps

Just like the curse, just like the stray
You feed it once and now it stays
Now it stays
So tear me open but beware
There's things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me until I'm clean

It grips you so hold me
It stains you so hold me
It hates you so hold me
It holds you so hold me
Until it sleeps

So tell me why you've chosen me
Don't want your grip, don't want your greed
Don't want it

I'll tear me open make you gone
No more can you hurt anyone
And the fear still shakes me
So hold me, until it sleeps

It grips you so hold me
It stains you so hold me
It hates you so hold me
It holds you, holds you, holds you
until it sleeps

U2 Acrobat '...And don't let the b******s grind you down.'

Judy Tzuke
Seems whatever I do I do to the extreme, wish I could do something right and fit in in between
But you know I'm not that kind, to keep these things in mind
You see I paint my pictures so bright that they dim out the light and bring the rain
Why is it everything I touch turns to grey? I don't really want that much just give me a chance to say...
...You see I build my cities so high that they brake through the sky and bring the rain.

Japan - Ghosts
When the room is quiet
The daylight almost gone
It seems there's something I should know
Well, I ought to leave
But the rain it never stops
And I've no particular place to go

Just when I think I'm winning
When I've broken every door
The ghosts of my life
Blow wilder than before
Just when I thought I could not be stopped
When my chance came to be king
The ghosts of my life
Blew wilder than the wind

Well, I'm feeling nervous
Now I find myself alone
The simple life's no longer there
Once I was so sure
Now the doubt inside my mind
Comes and goes, but leads nowhere
