My Brightest Diamond: Golden Star (Alias)

i always felt so far from you
like something wasn't right
but tonight
i rest my head inside the crook of your arm
and i feel like a golden star,
exploding -- tonight, we are full
exploding -- tonight, we rejoice
exploding -- you are my golden star

though everything has come undone,
the distance between us closes
and everything is suddenly
exploding -- tonight we are full
exploding -- tonight we rejoice
exploding -- you are my golden star
exploding

tonight we are full up
in spite tonight we rejoice
tonight we are full up
in spite we rejoice like stars, exploding
exploding
exploding
explode

Emiliana Torrini: If You Go Away

If you go away
On this summer's day
Then you might as well
Take the sun away
All the birds that flew
In the summer sky
When our love was new
And our hearts were high
And the day was young
And the nights were long
And the moon stood still
For the night bird's song

If you go away
If you go away
If you go away...

But if you stay
I'll make you a day
Like no day has been
Or will be again
We'll sail on the sun
We'll ride on the rain
And talk to the trees
And worship the wind

But if you go
I'll understand
Leave me just enough love
To fill up my hand


If you go away
If you go away
If you go away...

If you go away
As I know you will
You must tell the world
To stop turning
'til you return again
If you ever do
For what good is love
Without loving you?
Can I tell you now
As you turn to go
I'll be dying slowly
'til the next hello

If you go away
If you go away
If you go away...

But if you stay
I'll make you a night
Like no night has been
Or will be again
I'll sail on your smile
I'll ride on your touch
I'll talk to your eyes
That I love so much

But if you go
I won't cry
Though the good is gone
From the word goodbye

If you go away
If you go away
If you go away...

If you go away
As I know you must
There is nothing left
In this world to trust
Just an empty room
Full of empty space
Like the empty look
I see on your face
And I'd been the shadow
Of your shadow
If you might have kept me
By your side

If you go away
If you go away
If you go away...

If you go away
If you go away...

Enzo Enzo: Juste Quelqu'un De Bien

Debout devant ses illusions
Une femme que plus rien ne dérange
Détenue de son abandon
Son ennui lui donne le change

Que retient elle de sa vie
Qu'elle pourrait revoir en peinture
Dans un joli cadre verni
En évidence sur un mur

Un mariage en Technicolor
Un couple dans les tons pastels
Assez d'argent sans trop d'efforts
Pour deux trois folies mensuelles

Elle a rêvé comme tout le monde
Qu'elle tutoierait quelques vedettes
Mais ses rêves en elle se fondent
Maintenant son espoir serait d'être

Juste quelqu'un de bien
Quelqu'un de bien
Le cœur à portée de main
Juste quelqu'un de bien
Sans grand destin
Une amie à qui l'on tient
Juste quelqu'un de bien
Quelqu'un de bien

Il m'arrive aussi de ces heures
Où ma vie se penche sur le vide
Coupés tous les bruits du moteur
Au dessus de terres arides

Je plane à l'aube d'un malaise
Comme un soleil qui veut du mal
Aucune réponse n'apaise
Mes questions à la verticale

J'dis bonjour à la boulangère
Je tiens la porte à la vieille dame
Des fleurs pour la fête des mères
Et ce week-end à Amsterdam

Pour que tu m'aimes encore un peu
Quand je n'attends que du mépris
A l'heure où s'enfuit le Bon Dleu
Qui pourrait me dire si je suis

Juste quelqu'un de bien
Quelqu'un de bien
Le cœur à portée de main
Juste quelqu'un de bien
Sans grand destin
Une amie à qui l'on tient
Juste quelqu'un de bien
Quelqu'un de bien

J'aime à penser que tous les hommes
S'arrêtent parfois de poursuivre
L'ambition de marcher sur Rome
Et connaissent la peur de vivre

Sur le bas-côté de la route
Sur la bande d'arrêt d'urgence
Comme des gens qul parlent et qui doutent
D'être au-delà des apparences

Juste quelqu'un de bien
Quelqu'un de bien
Le cœur à portée de main
Juste quelqu'un de bien
Sans grand destin
Une amie à qui l'on tient
Juste quelqu'un de bien
Quelqu'un de bien

Nouvelle Vague: This Is Not A Love Song

This is not a love song

Happy to have
Not to have not
Big business is
Very wise
I'm crossing over into
Enter prize

This is not a love song (x4)

I'm adaptable
And I like my new role
I'm getting better and better
And I have a new goal
I'm changing my ways
Where money applies
This is not a love song

This is not a love song (x4)

I'm going over to the other side
I'm happy to have
Not to have not
Big business is
Very wise
I'm inside free
Enterprise

This is not a love song (x4)

Not television
Behind the curtain
Out of the cupboard
You take the first train
Into the big world
Are you ready to grab the candle
That turn of vision

This is not a love song (x4)

Portishead: The Rip

As she walks in the room,
Centred and tall,
Hesitating once more.
And as I take on myself,
And the bitterness I felt,
Realise that love lost well.

White horses,
They will take me away,
And my tenderness I feel,
Will send the dark underneath,
Will I follow?

Through the glory of life,
I will scatter on the floor,
Dissappointed and sore.
And in my thoughts I have bled,
For the riddles I've been fed,
Another line is over-oh.

White horses,
They will take me away,
And my tenderness I feel,
Will send the dark underneath,
Will I follow?

White horses,
They will take me away,
And my tenderness I feel,
Will send the dark underneath,
Will I follow?

Emiliana Torrini: Lifesaver

Lyrics:

Lifesaver
Your timing's really strange
Catch me later
But can you please be late

And it's funny how your thoughts think they're right at all
And it's funny how your cause makes no sense at all

Lifesaver
Let's play a little game
Catch me later
But make sure you'll be there late

And it's funny how it seems you're doing things
And its funny how you find your peace of mind

Lifesaver
I'm cancelling our date
Lifesaver
It's time you had a break

Lifesaver
I'm cancelling our date
Lifesaver
My saver

Radiohead: The Gloaming

Lyrics:

Genie let out of the bottle,
It is now the witching hour...
Genie let out of the bottle,
It is now the witching hour...
Murderers, you're murderers.
We are not the same as you.

Genie let out of the bottle,
Funny how, funny how-
When the walls bend, when the walls bend,
With your breathing, with your breathing.
When the walls bend, when the walls bend,
With your breathing, with your breathing.
With your breathing...

They will suck you down to the other side,
They will suck you down to the other side,
They will suck you down to the other side,
They will suck you down to the other side.
To the shadows blue and red, shadows blue and red,
Your alarm bells, your alarm bells,
Shadows blue and red, shadows blue and red,
Your alarm bells, your alarm bells...

They should be ringing,
They should be ringing,
They should be ringing,
They should be ringing,
They should be ringing,
They should be ringing,
They should be ringing,
They should be ringing,
They should be ringing,
They should be ringing,
They should be ringing,
They should be ringing...
This is the gloaming.

Shadows blue and red,
Shadows blue and red,
Your alarm bells,
Your alarm bells...
Shadows blue and red,
Shadows blue and red,
We're alarming-
We're alarming-
And the walls bend, and the walls bend,
With your breathing, with your breathing.
And the walls bend, and the walls bend,
What is he doing? What is he doing?

This is the gloaming
This is the gloaming
This is the gloaming
This is the gloaming
This is the-

Portishead: Roads (NYC Live)

Lyrics:

Oh, can't anybody see,
We've got a war to fight,
Never found our way,
Regardless of what they say.

How can it feel, this wrong,
From this moment,
How can it feel, this wrong.

Storm,
In the morning light,
I feel,
No more can I say,
Frozen to myself.

I got nobody on my side,
And surely that ain't right,
Surely that ain't right.

Oh, can't anybody see,
We've got a war to fight,
Never found our way,
Regardless of what they say.

How can it feel, this wrong,
From this moment,
How can it feel, this wrong.

How can it feel this wrong,
From this moment,
How can it feel, this wrong.

Oh, can't anybody see,
We've got a war to fight,
Never found our way,
Regardless of what they say.

How can it feel, this wrong,
From this moment,
How can it feel, this wrong.

Garbage: Number One Crush

Lyrics:

I would die for you
I would die for you
I've been dying just to feel you by my side
To know that you're mine

I will cry for you
I will cry for you
I will wash away your pain with all my tears
And drown your fear

I will pray for you
I will pray for you
I will sell my soul for something pure and true
Someone like you

See your face every place that I walk in
Hear your voice every time that I'm talking
You will believe in me
And I will never be ignored

I will burn for you
Feel pain for you
I will twist the knife and bleed my aching heart
And tear it apart

I will lie for you
Beg and steal for you
I will crawl on hands and knees until you see
You're just like me

Violate all the love that I'm missing
Throw away all the pain that I'm living
You will believe in me
And I can never be ignored

I would die for you
I would kill for you
I will steal for you
I'd do time for you
I will wait for you
I'd make room for you
I'd sail ships for you
To be close to you
To be part of you
Cause I believe in you
I believe in you
I would die for you

Sarah McLachlan: Dirty Little Secret

Lyrics:

If I had the chance, love
I would not hesitate
To tell you all the things I never said before
Don't tell me it's too late

Cause I've relied on my illusions
To keep me warm at night
But I denied in my capacity to love
I am willing, to give up this fight

I've been up all night drinking
To drown my sorrow down
Nothing seems to help me since you went away
I'm so tired of this town
Where every tongue is wagging
When every back is turned
Their telling secrets that should never be revealed
There's nothing to be gained from this
But disaster..
Here's a good one..
Did you hear about my friend
He's embarrassed to be seen now
because we all know his sins

If I had the chance love
You know, I would not hesitate
To tell you all the things I never said before
Don't tell me it's too late

Cause I've relied on my illusions
To keep me warm at night
But I denied in my capacity to love
I am willing, to give up this fight
Oh, I am willing to give up this fight..
