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-

Tom Waits: Watch Her Disappear



Lyrics:

Last night I dreamed that I was dreaming of you
And from a window across the lawn I watched you undress
Wearing your sunset of purple tightly woven around your hair
That rose in strangled ebony curls
Moving in a yellow bedroom light
The air is wet with sound
The faraway yelping of a wounded dog
And the ground is drinking a slow faucet leak
Your house is so soft and fading as it soaks the black summer heat
A light goes on and the door opens
And a yellow cat runs out on the stream of hall light and into the yard

A wooden cherry scent is faintly breathing the air
I hear your champagne laugh
You wear two lavender orchids
One in your hair and one on your hip
A string of yellow carnival lights comes on with the dusk
Circling the lake with a slowly dipping halo
And I hear a banjo tango

And you dance into the shadow of a black poplar tree
And I watched you as you disappeared
I watched you as you disappeared
I watched you as you disappeared
I watched you as you disappeared
...

Radiohead: Idioteque (Live)



Lyrics:

Who's in bunker?
Who's in bunker?
Women and children first
And the children first
And the children
I'll laugh until my head comes off
I'll swallow till I burst
Until I burst
Until I

Who's in bunker?
Who's in bunker?
I have seen too much
You haven't seen enough
You haven't seen it
I'll laugh until my head comes off
Women and children first
And children first
And children

Here I'm allowed
Everything all of the time
Here I'm allowed
Everything all of the time

Ice age coming
Ice age coming
Let me hear both sides
Let me hear both sides
Let me hear both
Ice age coming
Ice age coming
Throw them in the fire
Throw them in the fire
Throw them in the

We're not scaremongering
This is really happening
Happening
We're not scaremongering
This is really happening
Happening
Mobiles quirking
Mobiles chirping
Take the money and run
Take the money and run
Take the money

Here I'm allowed (background: the first of the children x6)
Everything all of the time
Here I'm allowed
Everything all of the time

Here I'm allowed
Everything all of the time
Here I'm allowed
Everything all of the time

and first and the children (repeated)

Bob Dylan: Just Like a Woman



Lyrics:

Nobody feels any pain
Tonight as I stand inside the rain
Ev'rybody knows
That Baby's got new clothes
But lately I see her ribbons and her bows
Have fallen from her curls.
She takes just like a woman, yes, she does
She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl.

Queen Mary, she's my friend
Yes, I believe I'll go see her again
Nobody has to guess
That Baby can't be blessed
Till she sees finally that she's like all the rest
With her fog, her amphetamine and her pearls.
She takes just like a woman, yes, she does
She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl.

It was raining from the first
And I was dying there of thirst
So I came in here
And your long-time curse hurts
But what's worse
Is this pain in here
I can't stay in here
Ain't it clear that--

I just can't fit
Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
When we meet again
Introduced as friends
Please don't let on that you knew me when
I was hungry and it was your world.
Ah, you fake just like a woman, yes, you do
You make love just like a woman, yes, you do
Then you ache just like a woman
But you break just like a little girl.

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.
