And I will rejoice in your fall from grace with a cane to the sky like 'None shall pass.'


Aesop Rock - None shall pass
_____________________________________________________________

Flash that buttery gold, jittery zeitgeist 
Wither by the watering hole, water patrol 
What are we, a heart huckabee, art fuckery suddenly? 
Not enough young in his lung for the water wings? 
Colorfully vulgar poacher at a mulch like 
'I'ma pull the pulse out a soldier and bolt.' (Fine) 
Sign of the time we elapsed 
When a primate climb up the spine and attach 
Eye for an eye, by the bog's life swamps and vines 
They get a rise out of frogs and flies 
So when a dog fights hog-tied prize sorta costs a life 
The mouths water on a fork and knife 
And the allure isn't right 
It's gore on a war-torn beach 
Where the cash cows actually beef 
Blood turns wine when I leak for police 
Like 'That's not a riot, it's a feast, let's eat.' 

And I will remember your name and face 
On the day you were judged by the funhouse cast 
And I will rejoice in your fall from grace 
With a cane to the sky like 'None shall pass.' 
None shall pass, none shall pass 

Now if he never had a day a snow cone couldn't fix 
he wouldn't relate to the rouge vocoder bliss 
How he spoke through a no-doz, motor on the fritz 
'Cause he wouldn't play roll over, fetch, like a bitch 
And express no regrets though he isn't worth the homeowners piss 
To the jokers who pose by the glitz (Fine) 
Sign of the swine and the swarm 
When a king is a whore who comply and conform 

Miles outside of the eye of the storm 
With a siphon to lure and a prize and award 
While avoiding the vile and bizarre that is violence and war 
True blue triumph is more 
Like wait, let it snake up outta the centerfold 
Let it break the walls of Jericho. ready? go. 
Sat where the old cardboard city folks 
Swap tails with heads like every other penny throw 
 
Okay, woke to a grocery list 
Goes like this: duty and death 
Anyone object, come stand in the way 
You can be my little Snake River Canyon today 
And I ran with a chain of commands 
And a jetpack strap where the backstab lands if it can. (Fine) 
Sign of the vibe in the crowd 
When I cut a belly open to find what climb out 
What a bit of gusto he muster up 
Make a dark horse rush like enough's enough 
It must'a struck a nerve so they huff and puff 
Till all the king's men fluster and clusterfuck 
And it's a beautiful thing 
To my people who keep an impressive wing span 
Even when the cubicle shrink 
You gotta pull up the intruder by the root of the weed 
NY chew through the machine

Help me stand. Let me be another man, someone who can understand your foolish game.


The Unwinding Hours - There are worse things than being alone
________________________________________________________

Something's wrong 
If I am not about to fall 
In and out of love
For a second time

Help me stand 
Let me be another man
Someone who can understand
Your foolish game

Well I'm here
And I won't be 
What you want me to be
Some drunken remedy
The punishment you think you need

I'm right here
And I won't be 
What you choose me to be
Some foolish enemy
The answer that you think you need

But I know
We both are getting old
We will be feeling weaker
In the coming days

Let me out of here my love
Get me out of here my love

In pale eyes I lost my breath to seek your silence to seek your face.


Immanu El - ...in valleys
__________________________________________________________

In valleys I found my way
To seek your silence
To seek your face

In pale eyes I lost my breath
To seek your silence
To seek your face

In valleys
With pale eyes

Tonight we'll drink into an early grave. We'll laugh, we will not be safe someone has dressed us all like clowns.


Margot & The Nuclear So And So's - Dress me like a clown

___________________________________________________________

I am alive
I am alive
and that is the best that i can do

you told me you lied
you swore you were mine
i took you back a thousand times

talking a town
you've been around
if he is the man you want the go

but tonight we'll leave
all our lovers behind
and try to live a quiet life
my love is dressing me like a clown

you are an ass
a snake in the grass
and he seeps from out your pores

and baby it's time
to pay for my crime
nothing i say can make you mine

you either sing it in key
or run into me
i can fake it as good as you

but tonight we'll leave
all our spirit songs
we'll drive and reach the hills by dawn
my love is dressing me like a clown

but tonight we'll leave
all our lovers behind
and try to live a quiet life
margot dress me like a clown

tonight we'll drink
into an early grave
we'll laugh, we will not be safe
someone has dressed us all like clowns

darling it's sin
where do i begin?
putting the contact lenses in

you say the lights
scurry like mice
reflect in the streets
and your blue eyes

out of the roof
wait to grow up
turn me around and lock me up

baby you are an ass
a snake in the grass
vanity oozes out your pores

Oooh, ooooh
Oooh, ooooh

The devil makes us sin but we like it when we're spinning in his grip.


Massive Attack - Paradise Circus (Zeds dead remix)
_______________________________________________________

It's unfortunate that when we feel a storm
we can roll ourselves over 'cause we're uncomfortable
oh where the devil makes us sin
but we like it when we're spinning in his grip.

It's unfortunate that when we feel a storm
we can roll ourselves over when we're uncomfortable
oh well the devil makes us sin
but we like it when we're spinning in his grip.

Love is like a sin my love
For the one that feels it the most
Look at her with a smile like a flame
She will love you like a fly will never love you, again 

As the TV flickers and hums by the wall and I wait for my eyesight to fade.So, So, So It’s so damn slow.


Electric President - Insomnia
____________________________________________________

There’s a light bulb dangling from string
It’s slowly swaying up over my head now
As I jot down the words that’ll never be sung
And wait for my headache to numb
And the wind sounds as if the world’s sighing
And the moon’s just a torn fingernail
As the TV flickers and hums by the wall
And I wait for my eyesight to fade

So, So, So
It’s so damn slow
So, So, So
It’s so damn slow

And the bright-eyed choke on ambition
And the old folks circle their graves
And the young ones are busy destroying their names
And you’re still just wasting away.
I sit and watch the screen for a message
Some kinda sign that says we’re OK
But the screen stays blank till I turn the thing off
And wait for my conscience to break.

So, So, So
It’s so damn slow
So, So, So
It’s so damn slow

I hope you’re learning to listen
And I hope you’re learning to stay
And I hope you find what you’re missing
And I hope that you’re making you’re way
I’m a headcase if I don’t keep moving
And my head hurts if I don’t sit still
It’s an itch that I’ll never stop scratching
It’s a hole that I’ll never quite fill

So

This is the last song you will ever hear me sing.

If the day never comes i sink beneath the tide will you still be with me or disappear?


The Appleseed Cast - A dream for us
_______________________________________________________

Cause what i feel inside
i dont want to hide
it's you that got to me
its what i want to sing
cause i've got a dream for us
running through my mind
sitting on the beach
looking at the sea
and we're old and tired
and time has made us smile
as we go on counting things
people in the breeze
we're not the only ones
there's hundreds on the shore
looking at the sea
but it's just you and me
if the day never comes
i sink beneath the tide
will you still be with me
or disappear?

So if love is true, let's burn the factory, take off your shoes it's time for dancin'



RX Bandits - ....And the battle begun
_______________________________________________________

Am I crazy because I want to touch your skin?
Is it ludicrous that I've got nothing to believe in that
was built by human hands or controlled by demand?
So if love is true, let's burn the factory,
take off your shoes it's time for dancin'

I never leave the house without a pocket of pills,
operator, operator I've got no solitude
from the digging hands (no way)
I think I'm losing it and I can't keep up
operator, operator it's nothing personal
but i'm choking tears, I'm thinking bout giving in
It's no better than before, it's just never mentioned

We keep running this race that can't be won,
I keep coming up empty
Doctor doctor you know they try to sell my trust
and they call me crazy
Box to box you know it never stops,
we're playing boomerang highways
in an endless search for meaning
I pray for something real
One kiss for all the world, a taste for all that's precious

Take it away release all your tension

All their paper never feels like my lovers kiss
or the warmth of her touch while we dream
so if I'm insane so be it, I'll trade in everything
One kiss for all the world, one more for all that's precious

Are we going nowhere?
We need disaster to love until we're blinded
indeed we are caught, what if we get free?

Take it away and it's all your strife
Take it away release all your tension

I miss the rhineland. I miss home.

I would have nowhere to go
No, but there's nowhere to go, to go

I've been dying to reach you, but my extension cord wouldn't reach that far.


Anthony Green - Dear Child I've been dying to reach you 
(Good Old War Version)
______________________________________________________

Dear child, they're asking us to move
I watched her taking off her shoes
(Let the shore tide take you in, let the shore tide in)
I'm weary, I'm not quite rested yet
This could be obvious to you
(Let the shore tide take you in, let the shore tide in)
In this short time we've been spreading in

I've been dying to reach you,
But my extension cord wouldn't reach that far
(Reach that far)
I've been patiently waiting
The indicator light is flashing on
(Flashing on)

Dear sleeper, you couldn't find a better bed
I loved to watch the way you groove
We're out, we're out the door
We're out, we're out the door
In this short time we've been spreading in.

I've been dying to reach you,
But your extension cord doesn't reach that far
(Doesn't reach that far)
(Reach that far)
I've been patiently waiting,
The indicator light is flashing on
(It's flashing on)
(Flashing on)

In this coma, sleepless dancing
We've been spreading in.

I've been dying to reach you but
Your extension cord wouldn't reach that far,
Doesn't reach that far,
Reach that far.
I've been desperately waiting
The indicator light is flashing on,
It's flashing on,
Flashing on.

I've been dying to reach you,
But your extension cord wouldn't reach that far,
Wouldn't reach that far,
Reach that far.

(Doesn't reach that far)

I was lost and out of touch with the way you made me feel. Everyday just passes now, I can’t count them on my own and your face is never real.


William Fitzsimmons - My life has changed
_____________________________________________________

You had this pattern of repeating every word that you would say
Every word that you would say
Till I met you with a sigh and to this day I still regret
How I made you go away

I saw the whole world from your eyes, at least the glimpse you let me see
And what a glimpse you let me see
But your eyes can never stretch, over boundaries made in stone
I’m afraid that’s what will be

I imagine if I had another chance
To tell you all the things I should have said
We’d still find ourselves content in circumstance
But I’m content to say this anyway…

The day that you were hit by that car
My life changed

I was lost and out of touch, with the way you made me feel
With the way you make me feel
Everyday just passes now, and I can’t count them on my own
And your face is never real

I imagine if I had another chance
To tell you all the things I should have said
We’d still find ourselves content in circumstance
But I’m content to say this anyway

I hope tonight you will touch my hair and draw ghosts on my back .


Múm - The ghosts you draw on my back
______________________________________________________________


The wind plays flute
Through the cellar door
And on my window sill
Plays a sad old song
I hope tonight
You will touch my hair
And draw ghosts on my back

Walk the shore
Too impassable
Shout at screaming waves
Shout at silent rocks
I think tonight
I'll dream of salty tongues
So tears drip down my legs

The wind plays song
Through the cellar door
And on my window sill
Plays a sad old song
I hope tonight
You will touch my hair
And draw ghosts on my back

Because you’re the cocaine in my veins.


Joshua James - You're the cocaine
_______________________________________________________________


Well I broke, I wrote a song
About our love, and how its strong
How your kisses keep me warm.
And even when I make you cry,
I’ll still sing you lullabies.
Make those grey clouds bright blue skies.
Because you’re the cocaine in my veins.


This is something I regret
Not confessing how I felt,
How my heart beats quicker still.
So melt your body into mine,
Become as one over time,
Lord shake her bones and make her mine.
Because you’re the cocaine in my veins.


And darlin the dirt beneath your feet,
And the scars that line your knees,
Are what keep me moving on, are what keep me moving on.
When broken down out on the streets,
And not a sign that I can see
You’re the compass that I need.


Bridge:
You’re the cocaine inside my blood stream
You’re the bright light, the constant moon beam
You’re the north wind that will carry me home.


You’re the woman I’ve been looking for
Because you’re the cocaine in my veins

And you never feel good or bad, only strange and unprepared. 'Cause I never see you coming or you leaving. And I will always never know. I will allways never now.


Copeland - Strange and unprepared
_______________________________________________________

I never stop feeling strange,
'cause you never know if you really change
You can never tell if you're center stage
As thin as glass, never meant to think
And you never feel good or bad
Only strange, unprepared
'Cause I never see you coming or you leaving

And I will always never know
I will always
And I will always never know
And I will always

And you never feel good or bad,
Only strange and unprepared
'Cause I never see you coming or you leaving

I will always never know
I will always
And i will always never know
I will always

Es steckt mit dir unter einer Haut und du weißt es will raus ans Licht. Die Käfigtür geht langsam auf und dann zeigt es sich das zweite Gesicht.


Peter Fox - Das zweite Gesicht
_________________________________________________________

Die Stimme bebt und der Blick ist Eis,
gleich geht jemand hier zu weit.
Die Zunge ist geladen und bereit,
die Wörter von der Leine zu lassen, sich Feinde zu machen.
Die Pfeilspitze voller Gift,
der Feind wackelt, wenn du triffst,
du triumphierst, wenn er kippt.
Doch morgen um diese Zeit tut es dir leid.
Harten Kampf um einen Haufen Mist,
jemand opfern für Lau und Witz.
Eine Spinne tot duschen, wenn du in der Wanne sitzt.
Einem Dummen zeigen, dass du schlauer bist.

Es steckt mit dir unter einer Haut und du weißt es will raus an Licht,
Die Käfigtür geht langsam auf und dann zeigt es sich das zweite Gesicht.
Ein Biest lebt in deinem Haus, du schließt es ein, es bricht aus.
Das gleiche Spiel jeden Tag, vom Laufstall bis ins Grab.
Ein Biest lebt in deinem Haus, du schließt es ein, es bricht aus.
Es kommt durch jede Tür. Es wohnt bei dir, und bei mir.

Du willst nach vorn, die andern wolln zurück,
du hast Visionen, doch sie kommn nicht mit.
Jemand steht zwischen dir und deinem Glück,
und es macht dich rasend, kannst es nicht ertragen.
Kuckst dir zu und du hörst dich reden,
du bist grad sensationell daneben.
Versuchst vom Gas zu gehen, doch dein Fuß ist grad gelähmt,
du siehst die Wand und fährst dagegen.
Du spielst falsch, um nicht zu verlieren,
dann feiern, als wär nichts passiert,
dein Gewissen ist betrunken.
Die Frau deines Freundes kommt mit zu dir.

Es steckt mit dir unter einer Haut und du weißt es will raus ans Licht,
Die Käfigtür geht langsam auf und dann zeigt es sich das zweite Gesicht.
Ein Biest lebt in deinem Haus, du schließt es ein, es bricht aus.
Das gleiche Spiel jeden Tag, vom Laufstall bis ins Grab.
Ein Biest lebt in deinem Haus, du schließt es ein, es bricht aus.
Es kommt durch jede Tür. Es wohnt bei dir, und bei mir.
Ein Biest lebt in deinem Haus.
Du schließt es ein es bricht aus.

So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten. Sons are like birds, flying upward over the mountain.



Iron & Wine - Upward over the mountain
____________________________________________________________

Mother don't worry, I killed the last snake that lived in the creek bed
Mother don't worry, I've got some money I saved for the weekend
Mother remember being so stern with that girl who was with me?
Mother remember the blink of an eye when I breathed through your body?

So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
Sons are like birds, flying upward over the mountain

Mother I made it up from the bruise on the floor of this prison
Mother I lost it, all of the fear of the Lord I was given
Mother forget me now that the creek drank the cradle you sang to
Mother forgive me, I sold your car for the shoes that I gave you

So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
Sons could be birds, taken broken up to the mountain

Mother don't worry, I've got a coat and some friends on the corner
Mother don't worry, she's got a garden we're planting together
Mother remember the night that the dog had her pups in the pantry?
Blood on the floor, fleas on their paws,
And you cried 'til the morning

So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
Sons are like birds, flying always over the mountain
