i’ve been listening to my privately curated 100 song batjokes mix for three years now nonstop and I thought it was finally time to share the best of the best with the world, tragically 8tracks is dead so uh, enjoy youtube. i couldn’t resist copying out the best lyrics from each song, just in case the batjokes relevant lines weren’t already criminally obvious.
every single song by the wombats is an absolute batjokes infested delight to behold and trying not to put every one of their songs on this playlist was extremely difficult, but a special shout out goes to the batjokes anthem Be Your Shadow for being the thing i blasted in my car every summer night i was writing my fic
listen and enjoy!!! lyrics and tracklist under the cut ↓↓↓
JOKER’S POV
Be Your Shadow by The Wombats
Tonight we'll scratch each other's face / If it's in the moment no one complains
Kiss me with your fist it's all right / Wrap your hands around my throat I won't mind / I’m permanent, now I won't go / I just wanna be your shadow
Those machine gun eyes, fire crystals into me / You're such a violent high / And I'm such a loose cannon can't you see?
Obsession by Ok Go
And it's physical / It's like standing at the edge / Your blood starts to pump, 'cause you're worried you might jump
Guns and Roses by Bohnes
Baby I hurt you / But you don't seem to mind / We all like to be destroyed sometimes
Cause you're more beautiful / When you're broken
You've got an appetite for destruction / I guess that makes you just like me / You put the barrel inside your mouth / Just to feel the metal between your teeth
Irresistible by Temposhark
Makes me laugh, you are such a joker / You’re sick when you joke but you’re cruel to be kind / Love you best when you are savage and bitter
Love the way you treat me so badly
You and me are irresistible / You and me are indestructible
Kamikaze Lovers by The Wombats
Twist your knife deep into me / We're different creatures with similar needs
Love Made Me Do It by Ellise
Love made me do it, I couldn't stop myself / His name is on that bullet /Plead insanity to it, yeah
Love made me do it / Love made me lose my mind
Nearly Witches (Ever Since We Met…) by Panic! at the Disco
Ever since we met / I only shoot up with your perfume
You have set your heart on haunting me forever
Mama’s Gun by Glass Animals
Little voices buzzin poison / Backward noise drown everything
Play with Me my love In the Summer sun / I’ll be waiting it / Your favorite Cheshire grin / Lay with me My dear / In the evening clear / I’ll
Be dreaming in My Paper pale skin / In the summer silence / I was getting violent
The Louvre by Lorde
Our days and nights are perfumed with obsession
I am your sweetheart psychopathic crush
Can you hear the violence? / Megaphone to my chest / Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom / And make 'em all dance to it
The Drugs by Mother Mother
I would lose my decadence / I’d do away with all the dirtiness / For your love
Choke by I DON’T KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME
Now shut your dirty mouth / If I could burn this town / I wouldn't hesitate / To smile while you suffocate and die
Do You Want to Die Together by Stars
Everything but you is an ugly lie
Do you want to die together? / Yes I do
Your Love by Glass Animals
We've got these summertime nights / Night by night / I let you eat me alive / I want you to eat me alive
Don't you want some more / ‘Cause I can feel your love
Very Good Bad Thing by Mother Mother
It was insane, the way we'd roll / You know the world at large / Is like a little rag doll / We were the big, bad pitbull / Try to get out but we just keep stickin' around / Cuz it is a very good bad thing we've found.
We'll play 'til we die
Gonna kill you yeah / You gonna kill me, true
Gonna say true love is just a good bad joke.
I Found by Amber Run
And I'll use you as a warning sign / That if you talk enough sense then you'll lose your mind / And I found love where it wasn't supposed to be / Right in front of me
BRUCE’S POV
Ice Cream by The Wombats
You keep me wanting more / Everything gets blurry / Am I right where you want me? / Melting like an ice cream in the sun
Weak by AJR
One kiss, bad for me / But I give in so easily
Heavy by Powers
And now I'm feeling like I've got a sickness / Tongue-tied and white lie addicted /I don't wanna stop for a minute
Heavy how I want you so bad / Heavy when it hits me so fast / Heavy and it's driving me mad / That I'm never gonna give you up
Lemon to a Knife Fight by The Wombats
Lipstick on the backseat / Saliva on the dash / I’ve clawed my way out of here before / But I keep on coming back
I push and you tend to shove / I give in and you don't give up / I’m not getting out of here this time / I brought a lemon to a knife fight / I kick and you like to punch / I’m unhinged and you're undone
Come Back For Me by Jaymes Young
Afraid you might return for more / I miss your frozen love too much / And I'd overdose from just a touch
Worst In Me by Unlike Pluto
I saw you standing there, and I knew / I’m done for, it's over, I'm through / Playing games from the start / Sinking your nails in my heart / You bring out the worst in me
Tormentor by The Wombats
Sometimes I dream / Of your sweet demise
Cutting the brakes and getting me Shanghai'd / Taking the cash and giving me side eye/ You're a tormentor
Oh My Dear Lord by The Unlikely Candidates
Here's my confession, I've got a death wish / I’m in the fast lane, addicted to excess
Turn by The Wombats
Baby, it's the crazy I like / I think I saw the world turn in your eyes
Emoticons by The Wombats
It's tough to stay objective, baby / With your tongue abseiling down my neck / It's a bulletproof offer I can't accept
You need to find a different boy's heart to chew
