"Know Your Onion!" ~ The Shins
http://youtube.com/watch?v=L-G2CQ7ESrg

Shut out, pimpled and angry.
I quietly tied all my guts into knots.
Gave up on trying to make them,
I figured it'd take them too long to look up and besides...

It was undeniably clear to me i don't know why
When every other part of life seemed locked behind shutters
I knew what worthless dregs we've always been.

Lucked out and found my favorite records
Lying in wait at the birmingham mall.
The songs that i heard,
The occasional book
Were the only fun i ever took.
And i got on with making myself.
The trick is just making yourself.

But when they're parking their cars on your chest
You've still got a view of the summer sky
To make it hurt twice when your restless body
Caves to its whims
And suddenly struggles to take flight...

Three thousand miles north east
I left all my friends at the morning bus stop shaking their heads.
"what kind of life you dream of? you're allergic to love."
Yes i know but i must say in my own defense
It's been undeniably dear to me, i don't know why
When every other part of life seemed locked behind shutters
I knew the worthless dregs we are,
The selfless, loving saints we are,
The melting, sliding dice we've always been.

Silversun Pickups ~ Lazy eye

---

i've been waiting
i've been waiting for this moment all my life
but it's not quite right

and this 'real'
it's impossible if possible
at who's blind word
so clear but so unheard

i've been waiting
i've been waiting for this silence all night long
it's just a matter of time

to appear sad
with the same 'ol decent lazy eye
fixed to rest on you
aim free and so untrue

everyone's so intimately rearranged
everyone can focus clearly with such shine

everyone's so intimately rearranged
everyone can focus clearly with that shine

lost and loaded
still the same 'ol decent lazy eye
straight through your gaze
that's why i said i relate
i said we relate
it's so fun to relate

it's the room the sun and the sky
it's the room the sun and the sky

i've been waiting
i've been waiting for this moment...

Commy

I watched you wash away any chance of coming clean to anyone
My face pressed against the glass wanting to know
They press their lips to your ass and smile
Hoping you won't find out who they are

I watched you slip away from growing old with innocence or integrity
My face pressed against the glass
They press their lips to your ass and smile
Hoping you won't find out who they are

Conjure up the thoughts of pure denial

You're trying hard to change, they won't let you
Demanding prophecies when you speak
You're trying hard to change, but they won't let you now...

You're trying hard to change, they won't let you
They hang on every word that you say
You're trying hard to change, they won't let you

You would know the way lies could stip away from you
You're trying hard to change, but they won't let you

They press their lips to your ass and smile
Hoping you won't find out who they are
Conjure up thoughts of pure denial

You're trying hard to change, they won't let you
They hang on every word that you say
You're trying hard to change, they won't let you now...

You don't owe them anything
You don't owe me anything
You don't owe them anything now

You don't owe them anything
You don't owe me anything
You don't owe them anything now

I'm high and I'm happy and I'm free
I got my whole heart
Laid out right in front of me
And I finally can see
The way it's always been
The need for peace
Starts from within

So I leave my possesions to the wind
And I'm done with ever wanting anything
Well I can die satisfied
No desires do I hide
Not today, not today
Nor for the next one thousand lives

I want to be a little seahorse
I want to be a little seahorse
A little seahorse

I want to be a little seahorse
I want to be a little seahorse
I want to be a little seahorse...

Well I'm scared of ever being born again
If it's in this form again
Well I wanna know how why where and when and then
I wanna see you be the bright night sky
I wanna see you come back as the light
I wanna see you be the bright night sky
I wanna see you come back as the light

I Hate Myself and I want to Die ~ Nirvana

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=3vwwFiaSXHk

Runny nose and runny yolk
Even if you have a cold still
You can cough on me again
I still havent had my fulfill

In the someday what's that sound?
In the someday what's that sound?
In the someday what's that sound?
In the someday what's that sound?

Broken heart and broken bones
Think of how a castrated horsefeels
One more quirky cliche'd phrase
You're the one I wanna refill

In the someday what's that sound?
In the someday what's that sound?
In the someday what's that sound?
In the someday what's that sound?

most people don't realize
that two large pieces of coral,
painted brown, and attached tohis skull
with common wood screws can makea child look like a deer

In the someday what's that sound?
In the someday what's that sound?
In the someday what's that sound?
In the someday what's that sound?

Runny nose and runny yolk
Even if you have a cold still
You can cough on me again
I still havent had my fulfill

In the someday what's that sound?
In the someday what's that sound?
In the someday what's that sound?
In the someday what's that sound?

Agent Orange - A Cry For Help In A World Gone Mad

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ywqMK34tv0

Sometimes I think of old friends
But they all seem the same
Then I see them and they can't remember my name
I guess I'm just like them
I guess I'm just a bore
I could hate them but I've never done that before
I've got lots of good friends
I don't need anymore

And sometimes when you lie to me
Sometimes I'll lie to you
And there isn't a thing you could possibly do
All these half-destroyed lives
Aren't as bad as they seem
But now I see blood and I hear people scream
Then I wake up
And it's just another bad dream

(chorus)
And I can't help myself by feeling sorry
Because I gave up every chance I had
Another movement
It's just another fad
Like a cry for help
In a world gone mad

Science ~ SOAD

Making two possibilities a reality,
Predicting the future of things we all know,
Fighting off the diseased programming
Of centuries, centuries, centuries, centuries.

Science fails to recognize the single most
Potent element of human existence
letting the reigns go to the unfolding
Is faith, faith, faith, faith.

Science has failed our world
Science has failed our Mother Earth.

Science fails to recognize the single most
Potent element of human existence
letting the reigns go to the unfolding
Is faith, faith, faith, faith.

Science has failed our world
Science has failed our Mother Earth.

letting the reigns go to the unfolding

Reckoner
You can't take it with you
Dancing for your pleasure

You are not to blame for
Bittersweet distractor
Dare not speak its name
Dedicated to all you
all human beings

Because we separate like
ripples on a blank shore
(in rainbows)
Because we separate like
ripples on a blank shore

Take me with you
Dedicated to all you

15 Step ~ Radiohead

How come I end up where I started
How come I end up where I went wrong
Won't take my eyes off the ball again
You reel me out then you cut the string

How come I end up where I started
How come I end up where I went wrong
Won't take my eyes off the ball again
You reel me out then you cut the string

You used to be alright
What happened?
Did the cat get your tongue
Did your string come undone
One by one
One by one
It comes to us all
It's as soft as your pillow

You used to be alright
What happened?
Etcetera etcetera
Facts for whatever
Fifteen steps
Then a shear drop

I'm lost upon the Irish Sea
Another message I can't read

I'm on your side
Nowhere to hide
Trapdoors that open
I spiral down

You're living in a fantasy world
You're living in a fantasy world

I'm lost at sea
Don't bother me
I've lost my way
I've lost my way

You're living in a fantasy world
You're living in a fantasy world
You're living in a fantasy world

This beautiful world
I'm lost upon the Irish Sea
Another message I can't read

Oh, god its another night And your head is feeling Like a lump of lead.
You should never have drunk Those party-fours, You should of been home being good instead.

Ever been in a deja vue and the end is the same again, You ran out of your silver thins And you're trying to be so high class... Though you need a bath and your hair's looking like string.
And though you're nearly broke you end up paying for all the drinks And you tell them 'Oh it's nothing, There's a million where those come from'...
And then you whisper to your longest-suffering friend, 'Please lend me a few quid'

Oh god it's another day And your stomach's feeling Like a blown-up balloon.
You should never have eaten that greasy food, The doctor told you that chilli was bad for your blood.
And you're standing at the chemist in Boots, Coughing up your guts like you're at death's door...
All this for a packet of Do-Do's And the assistant gives you a wink and you turn bright red.
It's at time like this that you wish you were dead.
And you take the whole packet and you feel like you've drank A bottle of bleach And you tell yourself 'Never, never again... Well, not until next week anyway'.
And you were never one for holding drink And you stagger off to the toilet And you throw up like it was Christmas.
And you miss the bowl and you hit your shoes And there's no paper towels,
Now what else can go wrong for you?
It's a choice between a cab fare home And a packet of cigarettes...
So you choose and the money sticks In the machine and the manager says, 'Tough shit - drink up and leave'

Oh god it's another disease And you just got rid of the last.
You were beginning to feel OK, And the friends you gave it to Were speaking to you again.

And you find yourself having sex In the back of a car And the girl underneath
Doesn't care who you are.
And you're nearly there And she still doesn't care And her chewing gum Is getting stuck in your hair.
And there's something wrong, Something that you forgot... Oh Shit, you've forgotten the rubber!
And you don't want a kid.
Well, deny it was you.
If your dad finds out Then he'll make you stay in And do your homework And cut your hair And wear your school uniform Out in the street... Oh what a fate worse than death.
Oh well he can't hit you, You can hit him back And play your records so loud
All the ones that he especially hates... Deep Purple in Rock, Led Zeppelin II...
Well even you hate those.
Well on second thoughts... I think I'll leave home And go and live in America.
Because they earn more money there And they can get away with murder - Yeah!

Oh this is a Mugs game...
I can't wait until I'm twenty one And I can tell them all to sod off.

I am the King of the divan

Ca plane pour moi ca plane pour moi
Ca plane pour moi moi moi moi moi
Ca plane pour moi
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!

Quel le ciel me tombera sur la tete
et que la colle me manquera ****
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
Ca plane pour moi

Allez hop! ma nana s'est tiree
S'est barree enfin c'est marre a tout casse
L'evier, le bar me laissant seul

Le pied dans le plat

Ca plane pour moi ca plane pour moi
Ca plane pour moi moi moi moi moi
Ca plane pour moi
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!

We'll be together, with a roof right over our heads
We'll share the shelter... of my single bed
We'll share the same room, JAH provide the bread

So I throw my cards on your table
I wanna love you

We'll be together, with a roof right over our heads
We'll share the shelter... of my single bed
We'll share the same room, JAH provides the bread

Girl Sailor - The Shins

The gutter may profess its love,
Then follow it with hesitation,
But there are just so many of
You out there for rent

A stronger girl would shake this off in flight,
And never give it more than a frowning hour,
But you have let your heart decide,
Loss has conquered you,

You've won one too many fights,
Wearing many hats every time,
But you wont win here tonight,

You've made it through the direst of straits alright,
Can you help it if plain love now seems less interesting?
You haven't changed an ounce in my eyes,
And I cannot lecture you,

And does anything I say seem relevant at all?
You've been at the helm since you were just five,
While I cannot claim to be more than a passenger,

But, you've won one too many fights,
Wearing all of your clothes at the same time,
Let the good times end tonight,
Oh girl, sail her, don't sink her,
This time,

Just a moment or two from now,
Not a mind will retain even a trace,
Of the thoughts that I struggled to tell
And how our stack of cards just fell,

So settle this once and for all,
The light no longer shows the cracks around my door,
And I have no lantern to light your way home tonight,

You are not some saint who's above,
Giving someone a stroll through the flowers,
You've got so much more to dream of,
Oh girl, sail her, don't sink her,
This time,
This time,
This time.

"What You Want" - A real pretty and sad song love song of sorts by the venerable John Butler Trio:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=ijERWZHvsxI

What you wanna say,
Wait until you get home.
I'm sick of communicating over the telephone.
But tell me how you feel,
For I am lonely too
Don't you know
I'm just as cold and numb as you.

But I could fly away,
Or I could be no one.
And you could be the
Sunshine falling over the Mountain

And you could come to stay
Yes you could come right home
Don't see why I have to
Live this life all alone.

I know there is a way to make up for old Mistakes
And I know what's happening is for a reason
I know...
