A Certain Romance - Arctic Monkeys

Although we might wear Classic Reeboks
Or knackered Converse
Or tracky-bottoms tucked in socks
Oh but that's what the point is not
The point's that there ain't no romance around there
And there's the truth that they can't see
They'd probably like to throw a punch at me
And if you could only see them then you would agree
Agree that there ain't no romance around there

You know
Oh it's a funny thing you know
We'll tell 'em if you like
We'll tell 'em all tonight
They'll never listen because their minds are made up
Of course it's all okay
To carry on that way

And over there there's broken bones
There's only music so that there's new ringtones
And it don't take no Sherlock Holmes
To see it's a little different around here
Don't get me wrong, no, there's boy's in bands
And kids who like to scrap with pool cue's in their hands
And just 'cause he's had a couple of cans
He thinks it's alright to act like a dickhead

Oh you know
Well it's a funny thing you know
We'll tell 'em if you like
We'll tell 'em all tonight
They'll never listen because their minds are made up
Of course it's all okay
To carry on that way

And I said no
Oh no
Well you won't get me to go
Not anywhere
Not anywhere, no I won't go
Oh no, no

Over there there's friends of mine
What can I say? I've known them for a long, long time
And they might overstep the line
But you just cannot get angry in the same way
No not in the same way
Not in the same way
Oh no
Oh no, no

Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath

What is this that stands before me?
Figure in black which points at me
Turn 'round quick and start to run
Find out I'm the chosen one
Oh no!

Big black shape with eyes of fire
Telling people their desire
Satan's sitting there. He's smiling
Watch as those flames get higher and higher
Oh no, no! Please God help me!

Is it the end, my friend?
Satan's coming 'round the bend
People running 'cause they're scared
The people better go and beware
No, no! Please, no!

Riverman - Noel Gallagher

There's something in the way she moves me to distraction.
I've travelled all this way to try and make amends.

'Cause heavy in the air are the words that she left hanging.
I've tried to walk away but I only stand and stare.

In the rain that comes..
All of the love that was left behind is gone.
When the Riverman runs..
Find me the girl who electrified the storm.
'Cause in a little while.. she'll be gone.

I waited in the rain, my feet too wet to stand in.
I shouted out your name behind the rainbows end.

But somewhere in the crowd she heard me jingle-jangling.
And like a memory that fades, she slipped away again.

In the rain that comes..
All of the love that was left behind is gone.
When the Riverman runs..
Find me the girl who electrified the storm.
'Cause in a little while.. she'll be gone.

Deadman Wonderland OP1 – One Reason

Slit the throat of reason and reality
Cut myself and scream for their insanity
Wake up to this nightmare that will never end
The main attraction of this twisted master plan


Trust nothing but pain to get me through the daze
Sleep with one eye open not to be their prey
Fist against my face they bring me to my knees
The pressure’s crushing down so hard
I can’t break free


When I can feel my skin crawl
When I’m about to crack
The hunger for revenge
gives me strength to stand


I will be your deadman
With nothing but this blood on my hands
Stuck in your “wonderland”
I just want to make you bleed like me


Everyday goes by without a second thought
Living in a perfect and controlled project
A puppet of their sick perversion’s appetite
Will I be trapped inside this hell until I die?


So what if no one cares
Enough to make a change
I give my bleeding heart out for one reason


I will be your deadman
With nothing but this blood on my hands
Stuck in your “wonderland”
I want to make you bleed just like me


So make me your deadman
With only poison in my veins
Stuck in your “wonderland”
Stagnated by the passivity
I’m gonna make you bleed like me

Battery in Your Leg - Blur

This is a ballad for the good times
So put a battery in your leg
Put a rock beat over anything
Get it stuck there in your head
You can be with me

I got nothing to rely on
I've broken every bone
Everybody's stop believing
But you know you're not alone
You can be with me

This is a ballad for the good times
And all the dignity we had
Don't get het up on the evil things
You ain't coming back
You can be with me
If you want to be
You can be with me....

Steady As She Goes - The Raconteurs

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
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, it always feels 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)
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

Pinball Wizard - The Who

Ever since I was a young boy
I've played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton
I must've played 'em all
But I ain't seen nothing like him
In any amusement hall

That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball!

He stands like a statue
Becomes part of the machine
Feeling all the bumpers
Always playing clean
Plays by intuition
The digit counters fall

That deaf, dumb and blind
Sure plays a mean pinball!

He's a pinball wizard
There has to be a twist
A pinball wizard's got such a supple wrist

How d'you think he does it?
I don't know!
What makes him so good?

Ain't got no distractions
Can't hear no buzzers and bells
Don't see no lights a flashing
Plays by sense of smell
Always gets a replay
Never seen him fall

That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball!

I thought I was the Bally Table King
But I just handed my pinball crown to him

Even on my favourite table
He can beat my best
His disciples lead him in
And he just does the rest
He's got crazy flipper fingers
Never seen him fall

That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball

A Rat Like Me - Motley Crue

Can you smell sarcasm on my breath?
I'm a new age puppet strung out on death
A rat like me won't save the world
A freak like me
A rat like me won't save your world
Going down and killin' time
Down down down
I do the dance of the cursed everyday
There's nobody worse nowhere no way

A rat like me won't save this world
A **** like me
A rat like me won't save the world
Going down one step away
Down down down
Everybody's bangin' on this landmine
Everybody's slippin' on their pain
I am not alone in my head here
But I'll gladly take the blame
I'm a snot nosed nuclear sonic punk

A rat like me won't save the world
A man like me
A dog like me won't save
A worm like me won't save
A rat like me won't save the world
Goin' down and killin' time
Down down down


Rat dog worm freak

Rush - Xanadu

'To seek the sacred river Alph
To walk the caves of ice
To break my fast on honeydew
And drink the milk of Paradise...'

I had heard the whispered tales of immortality
The deepest mystery
From an ancient book I took a clue
I scaled the frozen mountain tops of eastern lands unknown
Time and Man alone
Searching for the lost Xanadu

Xanadu...

To stand within the Pleasure Dome
Decreed by Kubla Khan
To taste anew the fruits of life
The last immortal man
To find the sacred river Alph
To walk the caves of ice
Oh, I will dine on honeydew
And drink the milk of Paradise

A thousand years have come and gone but time has passed me by
Stars stopped in the sky
Frozen in an everlasting view
Waiting for the world to end, weary of the night
Praying for the light
Prison of the lost
Xanadu

Xanadu...

Held within the Pleasure Dome
Decreed by Kubla Khan
To taste my bitter triumph
As a mad immortal man
Nevermore shall I return
Escape these caves of ice
For I have dined on honeydew
And drunk the milk of Paradise

Disenchanted - My Chemical Romance

Well I was there on the day
They sold the cause of the queen
And when the lights all went out
We watched our lives on the screen
I hate the ending myself
But it started with an alright scene

It was the roar of the crowd
That gave me heartache to sing
It was a lie when they smiled
And said you won't feel a thing
And as we ran from the cops
We laughed so hard it would sting

Yeah, yeah, oh

If I'm so wrong (so wrong, so wrong)
How can you listen all night long? (night long, night long)
Now will it matter after I'm gone?
Because you never learned a goddamn thing

You're just a sad song with nothing to say
About a lifelong wait for a hospital stay
And if you think that I'm wrong
This never meant nothing to ya

I spent my high school career
Spit on and shoved to agree
So I can watch all my heroes
Sell a car on TV
Bring out the old guillotine
We'll show 'em what we all mean

Yeah, yeah, oh

If I'm so wrong (so wrong, so wrong)
How can you listen all night long? (night long, night long)
Now will it matter after I'm gone?
Because you never learned a goddamn thing

You're just a sad song with nothing to say
About a lifelong wait for a hospital stay
And if you think that I'm wrong
This never meant nothing to ya

So go, go away, just go, run away
But where did you run to? Where did you hide?
Go find another way, price you pay

Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah

You're just a sad song with nothing to say
About a lifelong wait for a hospital stay
And if you think that I'm wrong
This never meant nothing to ya, come on

You're just a sad song with nothing to say
About a lifelong wait for a hospital stay
And if you think that I'm wrong
This never meant nothing to ya

At all, at all, at all, at all

Snuff - Slipknot

Bury all your secrets in my skin
Come away with innocence and leave me with my sins
The air around me still feels like a cage
And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again

So if you love me, let me go
And run away before I know
My heart is just too dark to care
I can't destroy what isn't there
Deliver me into my fate
If I'm alone I cannot hate
I don't deserve to have you...
-
Ooh, my smile was taken long ago
If I can change I hope I never know

I still press your letters to my lips
And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss
I couldn't face a life without your lights (Without your lights)
But all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight

So save your breath, I will not hear
I think I made it very clear
You couldn't hate enough to love
Is that supposed to be enough?
I only wish you weren't my friend
Then I could hurt you in the end
I never claimed to be a saint...
-
Ooh, my own was banished long ago
It took the death of hope to let you go


So break yourself against my stones
And spit your pity in my soul
You never needed any help
You sold me out to save yourself
And I won't listen to your shame
You ran away; you're all the same
Angels lie to keep control...
-
Ooh, my love was punished long ago
If you still care, don't ever let me know
If you still care, don't ever let me know!
 
"We Don't Need Another Hero"

OUT OF THE RUINS
OUT FROM THE WRECKAGE
CAN`T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE THIS TIME
WE ARE THE CHILDREN
THE LAST GENERATION
WE ARE THE ONES THEY LEFT BEHIND
AND I WONDER WHEN WE ARE EVER GONNA CHANGE
LIVING UNDER THE FEAR, TILL NOTHING ELSE REMAINS

WE DON`T NEED ANOTHER HERO
WE DON`T NEED TO KNOW THE WAY HOME
ALL WE WANT IS LIFE BEYOND
THUNDERDOME

LOOKING FOR SOMETHING
WE CAN RELY ON
THERE`S GOTTA BE SOMETHING BETTER OUT THERE
LOVE AND COMPASSION
THEIR DAY IS COMING
ALL ELSE ARE CASTLES BUILT IN THE AIR
AND I WONDER WHEN WE ARE EVER GONNA CHANGE
LIVING UNDER THE FEAR TILL NOTHING ELSE REMAINS

ALL THE CHILDREN SAY
WE DON`T NEED ANOTHER HERO
WE DON`T NEED TO KNOW THE WAY HOME
ALL WE WANT IS LIFE BEYOND
THUNDERDOME

SO WHAT DO WE DO WITH OUR LIFES
WE LEAVE ONLY A MARK
WILL OUR STORY SHINE LIKE A LIGHT
OR END IN THE DARK
GIVE IT ALL OR NOTHING

WE DON`T NEED ANOTHER HERO
WE DON`T NEED TO KNOW THE WAY HOME
ALL WE WANT IS LIFE BEYOND
THUNDERDOME

If You Were There, Beware - Arctic Monkeys

If you were there, beware
The serpent soul pinchers
Three hundred and fifty no thank yous and nobody flinches
Go on girl, go on, give us something gruesome
We require your grief, the thugs help the thieves
As they're trying to rob the words from her gob
Take the source of the innocence

If you were there, beware
The serpent soul pinchers
Can't you sense she was never meant
To fill column inches?
And you've had enough, what you're trying to dig up
Isn't there to be dug, the thieves help the thugs
As they're trying to rob the good grace of a sweetheart
Out to the point she'll comply

And why? Leave her on her own
If I'd have known then I wouldn't have said it
I wouldn't have said it if I would have known
Why? Leave her own her own
If I predicted tears then I wouldn't have said it
I wouldn't have said it if I would have known

There's a circle of witches, ambitiously vicious they are
And our attempts to remind them of reason won't get us that far
I don't know what it is that they want
I don't know what it is that they want
But I haven't got it to give
She hasn't got it to give
 
Meet Me at the Gates - blessthefall

Breathe in softly, take my hand
We're saying goodbye but this is not the end
Your body's sinking, oh my soul
I'll see you on the other side when it is my turn

The sky will open up
I've waited long to feel your touch (feel your touch)
So meet me at the gates
And wash these tears away (away...)
Wash these tears away

On this morning the music ends
I'm down on my knees by your hospital bed
So how can I live when I'm watching you die?
I'll see you on the other side when it is my turn

The sky will open up
I've waited long to feel your touch (feel your touch)
So meet me at the gates
And wash these tears away (away...)
Wash these tears away

Every breath I take's like I can't escape
And I'm too afraid of letting go of you

I found the secret
To wash away
All this sadness
I found the secret
To wash away
To wash away...

Every breath I take's like I can't escape
And I'm too afraid of letting go of you
So meet me at the gates
Every breath I take's like I can't escape
And I'm too afraid of letting go of you
So meet me at the gates

Wash these tears away
Wash these tears away
Wash these tears away
Wash these tears away
Wash these tears away

I found the secret
To wash away
All this sadness
I found the secret
To wash away
All this sadness
I found the secret
To wash away
All this sadness
I found the secret
To wash away
All this sadness

Sadness... Sadness...

Call It A Day - The Raconteurs

Can we call it a day?
Now would that be okay?
Can we just go our separate ways?
Cos I'm cold and I'm wet
And I'm willing to bet
That you constructed this maze

I stumble around
Try to follow the sound
Then something takes hold of my hand
If we cause such a mess
And I'd venture to guess
That you concocted this plan

Don't know what to do
Cos it's always been you
Who helps me to make up my mind
But I'll stake my life
And I swear by this knife
That it's all by your design

Enough has been said
It goes 'round my head
Until I break down and cry
I wouldn't be surprised
If that look in your eyes
Was your way of saying goodbye

Can we call it a day?
Now would that be okay?
Can we just go our separate ways?
Cos I'm cold and and I'm wet
And I'm willing to bet
That you constructed this maze

You concocted this plan

Don't know what to do
Cos it's always been you
Who helps me to make up my mind
But I stake my life
And I swear by this knife
That it's all by your design

Yeah, it's all by your design
