Jeff Buckley
Grace (1994)
Lover, You Should've Come Over

Looking out the door i see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water
And maybe i'm too young to keep good love from going wrong
But tonight you're on my mind so you never know

When i'm broken down and hungry for your love with no way to feed it
Where are you tonight, child you know how much i need it
Too young to hold on and too old to just break free and run

Sometimes a man gets carried away, when he feels like he should be having his fun
And much too blind to see the damage he's done
Sometimes a man must awake to find that really, he has no-one

So i'll wait for you... and i'll burn
Will I ever see your sweet return
Oh will I ever learn

Oh lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late

Lonely is the room, the bed is made, the open window lets the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one who dreams he had you with him
My body turns and yearns for a sleep that will never come

It's never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over, all my riches for her smiles when i slept so soft against her
It's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
It's never over, she's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever

Well maybe i'm just too young
To keep good love from going wrong

Oh... lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late

Well I feel too young to hold on
And i'm much too old to break free and run
Too deaf, dumb, and blind to see the damage i've done
Sweet lover, you should've come over
Oh, love well i'm waiting for you

Lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late

Elliot Smith - Baby Britian


Baby britain feels the best floating over a sea of vodka
Separated from the rest
Fights problems with bigger problems
Sees the ocean fall and rise
Counts the waves that somehow didn’t hit her
Water pouring from her eyes
Alcoholic and very bitter
For someone half as smart you’d be a work of art
You put yourself apart
And I can’t help until you start
We knocked another couple back
The dead soldiers lined up on the table
Still prepared for an attack
They didn’t know they’d been disabled
Felt a wave a rush of blood
You won’t be happy ’til the bottle’s broken
And you’re out swimming in the flood
You kept back you kept unspoken
For someone half as smart you’d be a work of art
You put yourself apart
And I can’t help until you start
You got a look in your eye
When you’re saying goodbye
Like you wanna say hi
The light was on but it was dim
Revolver’s been turned over
And now it’s ready once again
The radio was playing crimson and clover
London bridge is safe and sound
No matter what you keep repeating
Nothing’s gonna drag me down
To a death that’s not worth cheating
For someone half as smart you’d be a work of art
You put yourself apart
And I can’t help until you start
For someone half as smart you’d be a work of art
You put yourself apart
the radio was playing "Crimson And Clover"
London Bridge is safe and sound
no matter what you keep repeating
nothing's gonna drag me down
to a death that's not worth cheating

for someone half as smartyou'd be a work of art
you put yourself apart
and I can't help until you start

for someone half as smartyou'd be a work of art
you put yourself apart

I <3 this song.

Okkervil River - The War Criminal Rises And Speaks

The heart wants to feel.
The heart wants to hold.
The heart takes past Subway,
past Stop and Shop,
past Beal’s,
and calls it “coming home.”
The heart wants a trail
away from “alone,”
so the heart turns a sale
into a well-worn milestone
towards hard-won soft furniture,
fought-for fast food,
defended end table that
holds paperbacks and back U.S. News.
The mind turns an itch
into a bruise,
and the hands start to twitch
when they’re feeling ill-used.

And you’re almost back now,
you can see by the signs;
from the bank you tell the temperature
and then the time,
and the billboard reads some headlines.
The head wants to turn,
to avert both its eyes,
but the mind wants to learn
of some truth that might be
inside reported crimes.

So they found a lieutenant
who killed a village of kids.
After finishing off the wives,
he wiped off his knife
and that’s what he did.
And they’re not claiming that
there’s any excusing it;
that was thirty years back,
and they just get paid for the facts
the way they got them in.

Now he’s rising and not denying.
His hands are shaking, but he’s not crying.
And he’s saying “How did I climb
out of a life so boring into that moment?
Please stop ignoring the heart inside,
oh you readers at home!
While you gasp at my bloody crimes,
please take the time
to make your heart my home:
where I’m forgiven by time,
where I’m cushioned by hope,
where I’m numbed by long drives,
where I’m talked off or doped.
Does the heart wants to atone?

Oh, I believe that it’s so,
because if I could climb back through time,
I’d restore their lives and then give back my own:
tens of times now its size
on a far distant road
in a far distant time
where every night I’m still crying,
entirely alone.”

But the news today always fades away as you drive by,
until at dinnertime when you look into her eyes,
lit by evening sun - that, as usual, comes
from above that straight, unbroken line,
the horizon
- its rising
is a given,
just like your living.

Your heart’s warm and kind.
Your mind is your own.
Our blood-spattered criminal
is inscrutable;
don’t worry, he won’t
rise up behind your eyes
and take wild control.
He’s not of this time,
he fell out of a hole.

Gatsby's American Dream - Recondition, Reprogram, Reactivate

Relearn to feel
Somewhere I forgot about the feeling
If feelings make us human then what am I
Get ready a change is coming
I am reprogrammed
Almost human now
Stop
I've got a gun
Halt the process
Duck and run
Not quite human but this weapon is loaded

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

The Cure's "The Last Day of Summer"

nothing i am
nothing i dream
nothing is new
nothing i think or believe in or say
nothing is true

it used to be so easy
i never even tried
yeah it used to be so easy...

but the last day of summer
never felt so cold
the last day of summer
never felt so old

all that i have
all that i hold
all that is wrong
all that i feel for or trust in or love
all that is gone

it used to be so easy
i never even tried
yeah it used to be so easy...

but the last day of summer
never felt so cold
the last day of summer
never felt so old
the last day of summer
never felt so cold

Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will.
I sure could use a vacation from this
Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks
Here in this hopeless f**king hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any f**king time. Any f**king day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.
Fret for your figure and
Fret for your latte and
Fret for your hairpiece and
Fret for your lawsuit and
Fret for your prozac and
Fret for your pilot and
Fret for your contract and
Fret for your car.
It's a
Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks
Here in this hopeless f**king hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any f**king time. Any f**king day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.
Some say a comet will fall from the sky.
Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves.
Followed by faultlines that cannot sit still.
Followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits.
Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will cuz
I sure could use a vacation from this
Silly shit, stupid shit...
One great big festering neon distraction,
I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied.
Learn to swim.
Mom's gonna fix it all soon.
Mom's comin' round to put it back the way it ought to be.
Learn to swim.
F**k L Ron Hubbard and
F**k all his clones.
F**k all those gun-toting
Hip gangster wannabes.
Learn to swim.
F**k retro anything.
F**k your tattoos.
F**k all you junkies and
F**k your short memory.
Learn to swim.
F**k smiley glad-hands
With hidden agendas.
F**k these dysfunctional,
Insecure actresses.
Learn to swim.
Cuz I'm praying for rain
And I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way.
I wanna watch it all go down.
Mom please flush it all away.
I wanna watch it go right in and down.
I wanna watch it go right in.
Watch you flush it all away.
Time to bring it down again.
Don't just call me pessimist.
Try and read between the lines.
I can't imagine why you wouldn't
Welcome any change, my friend.
I wanna see it all come down.
suck it down.
flush it down.

I fear that I am ordinary, just like everyone
To lie here and die among the sorrows
Adrift among the days
For everything I ever said
And everything I've ever done is gone and dead
As all things must surely have to end
And great loves will one day have to part
I know that I am meant for this world
My life has been extraordinary
Blessed and cursed and won
Time heals but I'm forever broken
By and by the way...
Have you ever heard the words
I'm singing in these songs?
It's for the girl I've loved all along
Can a taste of love be so wrong
As all things must surely have to end
And great loves will one day have to part
I know that I am meant for this world
And in my mind as I was floating
Far above the clouds
Some children laughed I'd fall for certain
For thinking that I'd last forever
But i knew exactly where i was
And I knew the meaning of it all
And I knew the the distance to the sun
And I knew the echo that is love
And I knew the secrets in your spires
And I knew the emptiness of youth
And I knew the solitude of heart
And I knew the murmurs of the soul
And the world is drawn into your hands
And the world is etched upon your heart
And the world so hard to understand
Is world you can't live without
And I knew the silence of the world

Blof - Harder dan ik hebben kan

Je buien maken vlekken
Op mijn hagelwit humeur
Ik heb m'n handen op je heupen
Maar m'n hoofd is bij de deur
Ze zeggen dat het went
Ik heb het geprobeerd
Maar hoe ik het ook wend of keer
M&#8217;n huis beschermt niet meer

Het regent harder dan ik hebben kan
Harder dan ik drinken kan
Het regent harder dan de grond aankan
Harder dan ik hebben kan

Je buien zijn de wolken
Aan mijn hemelsblauw humeur
Ik heb m'n handen op je heupen
Maar m'n hoofd is bij de deur
Je ogen blijven grijs
Ontkennen elke kleur
Het is alsof hier niemand woont
Alsof er niets gebeurt

Het regent harder dan ik hebben kan
Harder dan ik drinken kan
Het regent harder dan de grond aankan
Harder dan ik hebben kan

Je buien zijn te donker
Voor mijn hemelsblauw humeur
Want mijn hoofd is in de wolken
En m&#8217;n hand al bij de deur

Harder dan ik hebben kan
Harder dan ik drinken kan
Het regent harder dan de grond aankan
Harder dan ik hebben kan
Het regent harder dan ik hebben kan
Harder dan ik drinken kan
Het regent harder dan de grond aankan
Harder dan ik hebben kan

It's Not -- Aimee Mann

I keep going round and round on the same old circuit.
A wire travles underground to a vacant lot.
Where something I can't see interrupts the current.
And shrinks the picture down to a tiny dot.
And from behind the screen, it can look so perfect.
But it's not.

So here im sittin in my car at the same old stop light.
I keep waiting for a change, but I don't know what.
So red turns into green, turning into yellow.
But I'm just frozen here on the same old spot.
And all I have to do is press the pedal.
But I'm not. No I'm not.

Well people are tricky,
You can't afford to show,
anything risky, anything they don't know.
The moment you try, well kiss it goodbye.

So baby kiss me like a drug, like a respirator.
And let me fall into the dream of the astrounaut.
Where I get lost in space that goes on forever.
And you make all the rest just an after thought.
And I believe it's you who could make it better.
But it's not. No it's not

The Eagles - Wasted Time

Well, baby, there you stand
with your little head down in your hand.
Oh my God, you can't believe it's happening again.
Your baby's gone and you're all alone and it looks like the end.

And you're back out on the street
and you're tryin' to remember.
How do you start it over? You don't know if you can.
You don't care much for a stranger's touch but you can't hold your man.

You never thought you'd be alone
this far down the line
and I know what's been on your mind,
you're afraid it's all been wasted time.

The autumn leaves have got you thinking
about the first time that you fell.
You didn't love the boy too much,
no no, you just loved the boy too well.
Farewell.

So you live from day to day
and you dream about tomorrow, oh.
And the hours go by like minutes and the shadows come to stay.
So ya take a little something to make them go away.

And I could have done so many things, baby,
if I could only stop my mind
from wond'rin' what I left behind
and from worryin' 'bout this wasted time.

Ooh, another love had come and gone.
Ooh, and the years keep rushing on.
I remember what you told me before you went out on your own:
sometimes to keep it together we got to leave it alone.

So you can get on with your search, baby,
and I can get on with mine.
And maybe someday we will find
that it wasn't really wasted time.

The Eagles - The Last Resort

She came from Providence, the one in Rhode Island
where the old world shadows hang heavy in the air.
She packed her hopes and dreams like a refugee,
just as her father came across the sea.

She heard about a place people were smilin',
they spoke about the red man's way, how they loved the land.
And they came from everywhere to the Great Divide
seeking a place to stand or a place to hide.

Down in the crowded bars out for a good time,
can't wait to tell you all what it's like up there.
And they called it paradise, I don't know why.
Somebody laid the mountains low while the town got high.

Then the chilly winds blew down across the desert,
through the canyons of the coast to the Malibu
where the pretty people play hungry for power
to light their neon way and give them things to do.

Some rich man came and raped the land, nobody caught 'em,
put up a bunch of ugly boxes and, Jesus, people bought 'em.
And they called it paradise, the place to be,
they watched the hazy sun sinking in the sea.

You can leave it all behind and sail to Lahaina
just like the missionaries did so many years ago.
They even brought a neon sign 'Jesus is Coming',
brought the white man's burden down, brought the white man's reign.

Who will provide the grand design, what is yours and what is mine?
'Cause there is no more new frontier, we have got to make it here.
We satisfy our endless needs and justify our bloody deeds
in the name of destiny and in the name of God.

And you can see them there on Sunday morning
stand up and sing about what it's like up there.
They called it paradise, I don't know why.
You call some place paradise - kiss it goodbye.

Bürger Lars Dietrich - Sexy Eis

Elegant, so wie ein Diamant
Mit der Kelle in der Hand
Steht sie jeden Tag am Strand
Braungebrannt von der Hitze
Laufe ich zu ihr, weil ich nicht so gerne schwitze
Boom schlabbalabba, weil alle zu ihr geh'n
Und in der Sommersonne sich die Fuesse plattsteh'n
Zwei grosse Kugeln mit Sahne zum Lecken
Zwei Haende, die das Ganze mit der Kelle in die Tuete stecken
Und dann der Guss aus Milch und Schokolade
Die ganze Promenade bildet eine Leckparade
Nur fuer sie, und ich steh' hinten in der Schlange
Die Sonne brennt heiss
Und ich sehne mich nach einer Tuete

(Refrain)

Sexy Eis - mit Sahne
Sexy Eis - Banane
Sexy Eis - Vanille
Sexy Eis - mit Fruechten oder ohne
Garniert mit einer braungebrannten Mokkabohne

Sexy Eis, Schokolade oder Rum, mit Fruechten oder ohne
Garniert mit einer braungebrannten Mokkabohne
Und einem Klecks Caramelle, Schokoladen-Nougat-Baelle
Fliegen blitzeschnelle aus der Kelle in die Zelle
Aus Keks und Marzipan
Ich seh ihr dabei zu und bin voellig angetan
Wie sie gewissenhaft mit viel Kraft die Sahne schuettelt
Indem sie wie verrueckt an ihren Sahnetueten ruettelt
Wuh, und dann gibt sie zum Verzehr
Ueber ihre Kugeln ein paar Spritzer Likoer
Immer mehr mehr Leute Leute kommen auf sie zu
Die Sonne brennt heiss
Und ich haette gern 'ne Kugel Kugel

(Refrain)

Boom schlabbalabba boom schlabbalabba boom
Boom schlabbalabba boom schlabbalabba boom
Boom schlabbalabba boom schlabbalabba boom
Boom schlabbalabba boom boom

Boom schlabbalabba boom boom, ich bin dran
Ich kann's noch gar nicht fassen, endlich sieht sie mich an
Ich kann endlich einmal sagen, wie ich es am liebsten mag
Das Warten hat ein Ende, heute ist ein schoener Tag
Ich haette gern zwei Kugeln, und zwar so richtig grosse
In einer spitzen Tuete mit einem Spritzer Sosse
Vielleicht mit 'nem Schuss, denn ich lecke gerne rum
Boom schlabbalabba boom schlabbalabba boom
Da spricht sie mich an: Junger Mann, tut mir leid
Doch ich kann sie nicht bedienen, es ist Feierabendzeit
Aber kommen sie doch morgen, denn da ist es wieder heiss
Und dann kriegen sie von mir eine Extraportion

(Refrain)
