Cocteau Twins - Know Who You Are at Every Age

It seems things are indictive to, A distinct desire to observe such, Heal such, Behave such, that makes this hard for me; I'm not real and I deny, I won't heal unless I cry; I can't grieve, so I won't grow, I won't heal 'til I let it go. I'm not real and I deny, I won't heal unless I cry, It seems things are indicative to, A distinct desire to observe such, Heal such, Behave such, that makes this hard for me; I'm not real and I deny, I won't heal unless I cry; I can't grieve, so I won't grow, I won't heal 'til I let it go. (x2) Cry, cry, cry 'til you know why, I lost myself, identify. (x2) I'm not real and I deny, I won't heal unless I cry; I can't grieve, so I won't grow; I won't heal 'til I let it go.

Adam eats and digs and Eve craves more truth Snakes and graves and serpents and monuments Of leaves and garden refuse spilling out like tigers at any chance of cloudburst Aleph brought forward (?) the new age And the ponies and unicorns fell and the crystals and Celestine skull formed and the bug rites fell and easy prophet sells tales of astral friendships in soaps and satans But Aleph is adam Aleph and adam stand on Docetic Mountain The women’s faces are full of stars and mischief into the words of the book And the lips of the cup And the trumpets And the seals and the candlesticks lighting the nervous to bed and your bed with seas and flowers and the nylon lion on your rug Roaring like a supermarket On the rack and on its back I called the martyrs as witness To this piss poor mess and the belief for the fly like from the mountains In curtains of eyes Sniffing like foxes at count and singing humming: “Oh Microwave (Oh Microwave) Oh Galaxy Kill (Oh Galaxy Kill)” They have misled themselves, Caesar and christ No back, no face, covered in useless snow Praise for Christ and for Hekla (?) Under low Volcanoes Smothered by wheels and drowning in silica Your beheaded heads quoting simian or Jonah And the stars rain down, sparkling cold and bloody I remember you and pray for you, all of you who were, are, and shall be murdered by Caesars As the nations gather and faded The poor house ate grated hounds The center, the chisel of the beast Guests of their own Farewell Feast Asha came to me in a dream and in the wheel swirls the scarlet girl delivers pornography by the queen Onto my chest, I said I am aleph I am Adam and I am under attack since eight I saw the bells and the jars and the pale drains, empty wine Useless in the heathen (?) How great was the jungle The dogs clutch heads Catch and cough our bulls Chattering like streams As the stopwatch shuts The moon, hot trot, foxtrot The fane trapping fogs for dreams Samaritan says oh just one word Aleph says, “This is the Bikini Blast Easter rabbit your conquers in the smallest (?) I saw the ghost train fake orgasms for the cliffs Beached children from the so much oh so much, I wanted you near The cats, the scrambled dust, jitterbugs taking stock of its life

Somewhere in Texas by the yellow sand Somewhere in Texas by the yellow sand Somewhere in Texas I lost my man Somewhere in Texas by the yellow sand And how many times do I have to lose you And how many times do I have to lose you Before I realize It’s too late A tornado is truly coming my way A tornado is truly coming my way It’ll sweep the land I think I’ll stay It’ll sweep the land I think I’ll stay Somewhere I lost my man Somewhere in Texas by the yellow sand

The Cranberries- put me down

Let me take you by the hand Away from here to another land Oh this land in which we live Where people love and are meant to forgive And you always prove me wrong ‘cause you’re always putting me down

I can’t take this anymore I decided to leave Walked out through the door Oh, and why do you think I go Because you know it can never be so And you always prove me wrong ‘cause you’re always putting me down

So let me take you by the hand Away from here to another land Oh, this land in which we live Where people love and are meant to forgive And you always prove me wrong ‘cause you’re always putting me down

Oh thou, who givest sustenance to the universe From whom all things proceed To whom all things return Unveil to us the face of the true spiritual sun Hidden by a disk of golden light That we may know the truth And do our whole duty As we journey to thy sacred feet Well I said "Lily, Oh Lily I don't feel safe I feel that life has blown a great big hole through me" And she said "Child, you must protect yourself I'll show you how with fire" Gabriel before me Raphael behind me Michael to my right Uriel on my left side In the circle of fire I said "Lily, Oh Lily I'm so afraid I fear I am walking in the Veil of Darkness" And she said "Child, take what I say With a pinch of salt And protect yourself with fire" Gabriel before me Raphael behind me Michael to my right Uriel on my left side In the circle of fire

It’s alright I’ll come ‘round when you’re not in And I’ll pick up all my things Everything I have I bought with you But that’s alright too It’s just everything I do We did together And there’s a little piece of you In whatever I’ve got everything I need I’ve got petrol in the car I’ve got some money with me There’s just one problem 

You’re the only one I want You’re the only one I want You’re the only one I want You’re the only one I want 

It’s alright I know where I’m going I’m going to stay with my friend Mmm, yes, he is very good looking The only trouble is He’s not you He can’t do what you do He can’t make me laugh and cry At the same time Let’s change things Let’s danger it up We’re crazy enough I just can’t take it 

You’re the only one I want You’re the only one I want You’re the only one I want You’re the only one I want 

I know where I’m going But I don’t want to leave I just have one problem We’re best friends, yeah? We tied ourselves in knots Doing cartwheels ‘cross the floor Just forget it alright 

Sugar?…  Honey?… Sugar?…

#Leo Kate Bush/#Gemini Prince:

We take all the telescopes And we turn them inside out And we point them away from the big sky Put your eye right up to the glass, now And here we’ll find the constellation of the heart

Steer your life by these stars On the unconditional chance ‘Tis here where Hell and Heaven dance This is the constellation of the heart

We take all the telescopes And we turn them inside out And we point them away from the big sky Put your eye right up to the glass, now And here we’ll find the constellation of the heart

The constellation of the heart The constellation of the heart

We take all the telescopes And we turn them inside out And we point them away from the big sky Put your eye right up to the glass, now And here we’ll find the constellation of the heart

The constellation of the heart The constellation of the heart

Well we think you’d better wake up capt’n There’s something happen’n up ahead We’ve never seen anything like it We’ve never seen anything like it before I want a full report That’s it What do you mean, “that’s it?” That’s all you get You’d better do something ‘bout it What am I supposed to do about it? We don’t know, but you can’t run away from it Maybe you’d better face it I can’t do that C’mon face it I can’t do that C’mon face it What am I gonna do? Is it gonna hurt, is it gonna hurt me bad?

Oh here’s the constellation of the heart

Who said anything about it hurting It’s gonna be beautiful It’s gonna be wonderful It’s gonna be paradise

(Just being alive, it can really hurt)

Ooh find me the man with the ladder And he might lift me up to the stars

(Without the pain there’d be no learning Without the hurting we’d never change.)

Ooh and if you see the woman with the key I hear she’s opening up the doors to Heaven Oh and here comes the man with the stick He said he’d fish me out the moon

Ooh here’s the constellation of the heart It is the constellation of the heart

Oh yes it is the constellation of the heart

Depeche Mode // Halo 

[alternativelyric]

You wear guilt Like shackles on your feet Like a halo in reverse I can feel The discomfort in your seat And in your head it's worse

There's a pain A famine in your heart An aching to be free Can't you see All love's luxuries Are here for you and me

And when our worlds they fall apart When the walls come tumbling in Though we may deserve it It will be worth it

Bring your chains Your lips of tragedy And fall into my arms

And when our worlds they fall apart When the walls come tumbling in Though we may deserve it It will be worth it

Megadeth- I'll get even

I’m lonely and abandoned  Washed up, left for dead  I’m lost inside the desert  Of every word you said  Like a nuclear reactor  Or TNT  I’m thinking about the times  When you lied to me  All the innuendo  Caught up on your hook  I was just a name  In your little black book  Ah, I’ll get even with you  I’m bitter and I’m twisted  I haven’t slept in days  I’m lonely and I’m angry  I can’t make it go away  I’m like a bomb that’s ticking  I got voices in my head  I got a doll with needles in  Wishing you were dead  I’ll get you back somehow  That’s what I’m gonna do  I’ll get you back somehow  Your nightmare coming true  Ah, I’ll get even with you  Ah, that’s what I’m gonna do  Gonna get even with you  You better look behind you  ‘Cause there I’m gonna be  I’ll be standing in the shadows  With who I used to be  He’s slightly schizophrenic  Me and me and me and me agree  That you are gonna pay  For what you did to me  Ah, I’ll get even with you  Gonna get even with you  Ah, that’s what I’m gonna do  I’m gonna…  Ah, I’ll get even with you

Talking Heads // This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody)

[alternativelyric]

Home is where I want to be Pick me up and turn me round I feel numb - born with a weak heart I guess I must be having fun The less we say about it the better Make it up as we go along Feet on the ground Head in the sky It's okay I know nothing's wrong . . nothing Hi yo I got plenty of time Hi yo you got light in your eyes And you're standing here beside me I love the passing of time Never for money Always for love Cover up and say goodnight . . . say goodnight Home - is where I want to be But I guess I'm already there I come home - she lifted up her wings Guess that this must be the place I can't tell one from another Did I find you, or you find me? There was a time, before we were born If someone asks, this where I'll be . . . where I'll be Hi yo We drift in and out Hi yo sing into my mouth Out of all those kinds of people You got a face with a view I'm just an animal looking for a home Share the same space for a minute or two And you love me till my heart stops Love me till I'm dead Eyes that light up, eyes look through you Cover up the blank spots Hit me on the head Ah ooh

Tears for fears- Bloodletting Go (By Larafreitastff)

Life, mama says Is bloodletting go If I care for nothing Sun don't shine and the grass don't grow Bloodletting go Society dictates By rules and regulations But when things are so tired You see things in the wrong light Soon there will be no light If the sun don't shine Life, mama says Is bloodletting go If I care for nothing Sun don't shine and the grass don't grow Bloodletting go If by chance we both forget The passage of space and time between Pick up the pieces cold and wet And drive them before the light to clean Good times, bad times Pain will come and pain will go If I care for nothing Sun don't shine And if by chance we both forget The passage of space and time between Pick up the pieces cold and wet And drive them before the light to clean Good times, bad times Pain will come and pain will go If I care for nothing Sun don't shine and the grass don't grow Bloodletting go

Old friend, what you doin’ out there? Come inside, sit yourself on that chair Its been a long time, since the last time And many burdens have passed through our hands Night into day and day in to night

Do you know what I mean? I’m trying to say I’m sorry You’re the star in the scene, you’re not just anybody There’s a light in your eye that I can’t seem to reach Over head, in the sky, Is it shining on me? Is it shining on me?

I’ve always knew, that you would not hang around You and me were like the thieves of the town Too many girlfriends, but not enough love Too many late nights, and not enough sleep Strung out and wasted, no good and shameful The life we tasted, there on the table

Do you know what I mean? I’m trying to say I’m sorry You’re the star in the scene, you’re not just anybody There’s a light in your eye that I can’t seem to reach Over head, in the sky, Is it shining on me? Is it shining on me? We have hope in our heart, and dreams in our head,  But most of the time, we stayed in our bed If you go out there, you just want more,  It’s a cold, cold world, outside that door

It takes years to find the nerve To be apart from what you’ve done To find the truth inside yourself And not depend on anyone

[alternativelyric]

It doesn't take a genius To tell me what I am Or lecture me with poetry And tell me that I can I don't remember What happened yesterday But I don't give a damn about What all those people say

It takes years to find the nerve To be apart from what you've done To find the truth inside yourself And not depend on anyone It takes years to find the nerve To be apart from what you've done To find the truth inside yourself And not depend on anyone

It don't take no Houdini To tell me what I am Parasites and literates They'd burn me if they can But I don't give a damn about What those people say They pick you up and kick you out They hurt you every day

It takes years to find the nerve To be apart from what you've done To find the truth inside yourself And not depend on anyone It takes years to find the nerve To be apart from what you've done To find the truth inside yourself And not depend on anyone

It takes years to find the nerve To be apart from what you've done To find the truth inside yourself And not depend on anyone It takes years to find the nerve To be apart from what you've done To find the truth inside yourself And not depend on anyone

David Sylvian - Before The Bullfight from his 1986 album Gone To Earth.

I hear your voice way down inside A whispering sea of towering trees But no reply A silence so rare and more than I can stand Sweeps like a flood Through life’s flesh and blood And steals away with its heart If I’m losing you Then there’s nothing more than I can say The fighting is on and battles are won Or thrown away But if I could live safe and sound In God given fields or mountains of steel Then here I’d stay ‘til you’re gone Guilty of stealing every thought I own I will take my turn to fight the bullfight Every word’s sunk in deep Like the blades of a knife through my heart But my strength will return to fight the bullfight As time’s come to show I’m told nothing more than I should know A ship on the sea that threatens to leave But never goes This island of blue Where life clings to your hands Like water and sand will lose its way When you’re gone When all’s forgiven still every fault’s my own I will take my turn to fight the bullfight Say a prayer for my release When every hope in the world is asleep And my strength will return to fight the bullfight

Opium by Dead Can Dance

Sometimes I feel like I want to live Far from the metropolis Just walk through that door Sometimes I feel like I want to fly Reach out to the painted sky A prisoner to the wind A bird on the wing Sometimes I feel the ocean in my blood See rain from the sky above Her salt brined tears And now Those tears leave taste on my tongue Like the warm rush you get from Black opium… Sometimes I feel like I want to leave Behind all these memories And walk through that door Outside The black night calls my name But all roads look the same They lead nowhere…

Lorelei /// Cocteau Twins

[alternativelyric]

Get off the car Kick his chain, Kick his pride Get him soaked hit run Lift up your toes In my mouth And we can make love

[Repeat: x5] And we can go

We're covered by the sacred fire

[Repeat: x2] When you come to me, you come to broke

[Repeat: x15] Without a doubt 

We're covered by the sacred fire When you come to me, you come to me broke Guilty girl, Guilty boy Get to make out Him chocked with mousse Lift up your toes In my mouth And we can make love

[Repeat: x2]
