Red Hot Chili Peppers
- Under The Bridge -

sometimes i feel
like I don't have a partner.
sometimes i feel
like my only friend
is the city i live in
the city of angels.
lonely as i am
together we cry.

i drive on her streets
'cause she's my companion.
i walk through her hills
'cause she knows who i am.
she sees my good deeds
and she kisses me windy.
well i never worry...
now that is a lie.

i don't ever want to feel
like i did that day.
take me to the place i love.
take me all the way.

it's hard to believe
that there's nobody out there.
it's hard to believe
that i'm all alone.
at least i have her love.
the city she loves me.
lonely as i am,
together we cry.

i don't ever want to feel
like i did that day.
take me to the place i love.
take me all the way.

under the bridge downtown
is where i drew some blood.
under the bridge downtown
i could not get enough.
under the bridge downtown
forgot about my love.
under the bridge downtown
i gave my life away.






Radiohead
- Subterranean Homesick Alien -

the breath of the morning
i keep forgetting
the smell of the warm summer air

i live in a town
where you can't smell a thing
you watch your feet
for cracks in the pavement

up above
aliens hover
making home movies
for the folks back home

of all these weird creatures
who lock up their spirits,
drill holes in themselves
and live for their secrets.

they're all uptight, uptight,
uptight, uptight,
uptight, uptight.

i wish that they'd sweep down in a country lane,
late at night when i'm driving.
take me on board their beautiful ship,
show me the world as i'd love to see it.

i'd tell all my friends but they'd never believe me,
they'd think that i'd finally lost it completely.
i'd show them the stars and the meaning of life.
they'd shut me away.
but i'd be alright, alright,
i'd be alright,
i'm alright.

i'm just uptight, uptight,
uptight, uptight,
uptight, uptight,
uptight, uptight,
uptight.





David Bowie
- The Man Who Sold The World -

we passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when
although i wasn't there, he said i was his friend
which came as some surprise
i spoke into his eye
i thought you died alone
a long long time ago

oh no, not me
i never lost control
you're face to face
with the man who sold the world

i laughed and shook his hand, made my way back home
i searched for form and land, for years and years i roamed
i gazed a gazley stare at all the millions here
we must have died alone, a long long time ago

who knows, not me
we never lost control
you're face to face
with the man who sold the world
who knows, not me
we never lost control
you're face to face
with the man who sold the world





The Meat Puppets
- Plateau -

many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau
some belong to strangers and some to folks you know.
holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand
to beautify the foothills and shake the many hands.

there's nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
and an illustrated book about birds.
you see a lot up there but don't be scared
who needs action when you got words?

when you've finished with the mop then you can stop
and look at what you've done.
the plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen
and the work it took was fun.

there's nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
and an illustrated book about birds.
you see a lot up there but don't be scared
who needs action when you got words.

well the many hands began to scan around for the next plateau.
some said it was in Greenland and some in Mexico.
others decided it was nowhere except for where they stood.
but they were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could.





REM
- Losing My Religion -

life is bigger
it's bigger than you
and you are not me
the lengths that i will go to
the distance in your eyes
oh no, i've said too much
i set it up

that's me in the corner
that's me in the spotlight
losing my religion
trying to keep up with you
and i don't know if i can do it
oh no, i've said too much
i haven't said enough
i thought that i heard you laughing
i thought that i heard you sing
i think i thought i saw you try

every whisper
of every waking hour i'm
choosing my confessions
trying to keep an eye on you
like a hurt lost and blinded fool
oh no, i've said too much
i set it up

consider this
the hint of the century
consider this
the slip that brought me
to my knees failed
what if all these fantasies
come flailing around
now i've said too much
i thought that i heard you laughing
i thought that i heard you sing
i think i thought i saw you try

but that was just a dream
that was just a dream

that's me in the corner
that's me in the spotlight
losing my religion
trying to keep up with you
and i don't know if i can do it
oh no, i've said too much
i haven't said enough
i thought that i heard you laughing
i thought that i heard you sing
i think i thought i saw you try





Nirvana
- Smells Like Teen Spirit -

load up on guns, bring your friends
it's fun to lose, and to pretend
she's overboard, and self-assured
i know, i know, a dirty word

hello, hello, hello, hello
hello, hello, hello, how low?
hello, hello, hello, how low?
hello, hello, hello

with the lights out, it's less dangerous
here we are now, entertain us
i feel stupid, and contagious
here we are now, entertain us
a mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido

i'm worse at what i do best
and for this gift i feel blessed
our little group has always been
and always will until the end

hello, hello, hello, hello
hello, hello, hello, how low?
hello, hello, hello, how low?
hello, hello, hello

with the lights out, it's less dangerous
here we are now, entertain us
i feel stupid, and contagious
here we are now, entertain us
a mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido

and i forget just why i taste
oh yeah, i guess, it makes me smile
i found it hard, it's hard to find
oh well, whatever, nevermind

hello, hello, hello, hello
hello, hello, hello, how low?
hello, hello, hello, how low?
hello, hello, hello

with the lights out, it's less dangerous
here we are now, entertain us
i feel stupid, and contagious
here we are now, entertain us
a mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido

Red Hot Chili Peppers
- Other Side -

how long how long will i slide
separate my side i don't
i don't believe it's bad
slitting my throat
it's all i ever...

i heard your voice through a photograph
i thought it up it brought up the past
once you know you can never go back
i've got to take it on the otherside

centuries are what it meant to me
a cemetery where i marry the sea
stranger things could never change my mind
i've got to take it on the otherside
take it on the otherside
take it on
take it on

how long how long will i slide
separate my side i don't
i don't believe it's bad
slitting my throat
it's all i ever...

pour my life into a paper cup
the ashtray's full and i'm spillin' my guts
she wants to know: am i still a slut?
i've got to take it on the otherside

scarlet starlet and she's in my bed
a candidate for my soul mate bled
push the trigger and pull the thread
i've got to take it on the otherside
take it on the otherside
take it on
take it on

how long how long will i slide
separate my side i don't
i don't believe it's bad
slitting my throat
it's all i ever...

turn me on take me for a hard ride
burn me out leave me on the otherside
i yell and tell it that
it's not my friend
i tear it down I tear it down
and then it's born again

how long...
how long will i slide
separate my side i don't
i don't believe it's bad
slitting my throat
it's all i ever...

how long...
i don't believe it's bad
slitting my throat
it's all i ever...

Jefferson Airplane
- White Rabbit -
one pill makes you larger
and one pill makes you small,
and the ones that mother gives you
don't do anything at all.
go ask Alice
when she's ten feet tall.
and if you go chasing rabbits
and you know you're going to fall,
tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
has given you the call.
call Alice
when she was just small.
when the men on the chessboard
get up and tell you where to go
and you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low.
go ask Alice
i think she'll know.
when logic and proportion
have fallen sloppy dead,
and the White Knight is talking backwards
and the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
remember what the dormouse said:
"feed your head. feed your head. feed your head"





The Wallflowers
- One Headlight -

so long ago, i don't remember when
that's when they say i lost my only friend
well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease
as i listened through the cemetery trees

i seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn
the long broken arm of human law
now it always seemed such a waste
she always had a pretty face
so i wondered how she hung around this place

hey, come on try a little
nothing is forever
there's got to be something better than
in the middle
but me and Cinderella
we put it all together
we can drive it home
with one headlight

she said it's cold
it feels like Independence Day
and i can't break away from this parade
but there's got to be an opening
somewhere here in front of me
through this maze of ugliness and greed
and i seen the sun up ahead
at the county line bridge
sayin' all there's good and nothingness is dead
we'll run until she's out of breath
she ran until there's nothin' left
she hit the end-it's just her window ledge

hey, come on try a little
nothing is forever
there's got to be something better than
in the middle
but me and Cinderella
we put it all together
we can drive it home
with one headlight

well this place is old
it feels just like a beat up truck
i turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn
well it smells of cheap wine and cigarettes
this place is always such a mess
sometimes i think i'd like to watch it burn
i'm so alone, and i feel just like somebody else
man, i ain't changed, but i know i ain't the same
but somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin' dreams
i think her death it must be killin' me

hey, come on try a little
nothing is forever
there's got to be something better than
in the middle
but me and Cinderella
we put it all together
we can drive it home
with one headlight





Radiohead
- Creep -

when you were here before,
couldn't look you in the eye.
you're just like an angel,
your skin makes me cry.
you float like a feather,
in a beautiful world
i wish i was special,
you're so fucking special.

but i'm a creep, i'm a weirdo.
what the hell am i doing here?
i don't belong here.

i don't care if it hurts,
i want to have control.
i want a perfect body,
i want a perfect soul.
i want you to notice,
when i'm not around.
you're so fucking special,
i wish i was special.

but i'm a creep, i'm a weirdo.
what the hell am i doing here?.
i don't belong here

she's running out the door,
she's running,
she -- run, run, run, run, run.

whatever makes you happy,
whatever you want.
you're so fucking special,
i wish i was special,

but i'm a creep, i'm a weirdo.
what the hell am i doing here?
i don't belong here,
i don't belong here.





The Beatles
- Yesterday -
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
now it looks as though they're here to stay
oh, i believe in Yesterday

suddenly, i'm not half the man i used to be
there's a shadow hanging over me.
oh, Yesterday came suddenly

why she had to go i don't know she wouldn't say
i said something wrong, now i long for yesterday

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
now i need a place to hide away
oh, i believe in yesterday

why she had to go i don't know she wouldn't say
i said something wrong, now i long for Yesterday

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
now i need a place to hide away
oh, i believe in yesterday





Radiohead
- Exit Music (for a film) -
wake from your sleep,
the drying of your tears.
today, we escape
we escape.

pack and get dressed
before your father hears us,
before all hell breaks loose.

breathe, keep breathing,
don't lose your nerve.
breathe, keep breathing,
i can't do this alone.

sing us a song,
a song to keep us warm.
there's such a chill, such a chill.

and you can laugh a spineless laugh,
we hope your rules and wisdom choke you.

and now we are one
in everlasting peace,

we hope that you choke, that you choke,
we hope that you choke, that you choke,
we hope that you choke, that you choke.





The Eagles
- Hotel California -

on a dark desert highway
cool wind in my hair
warm smell of colitas
rising up through the air
up ahead in the distance
i saw a shimmering light
my head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim
i had to stop for the night
there she stood in the doorway
i heard the mission bell
and i was thinking to myself
this could be Heaven or this could be Hell
then she lit up a candle
and she showed me the way
there were voices down the corridor
i thought i heard them say

welcome to the Hotel California
such a lovely place
such a lovely face
plenty of room at the Hotel California
any time of year
you can find it here

her mind is Tiffany twisted
she's got the Mercedes bends
she's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
that she calls friends
how they dance in the courtyard
sweet summer sweat
some dance to remember
some dance to forget
so i called up the Captain
"please bring me my wine"
he said "we haven't had that spirit here since 1969"
and still those voices are calling from far away
wake you up in the middle of the night
just to hear them say

welcome to the Hotel California
such a lovely place
such a lovely face
they're livin' it up at the Hotel California
what a nice surprise
bring your alibies

mirrors on the ceiling
pink champagne on ice
and she said
"we are all just prisoners here
of our own device"
and in the master's chambers
they gathered for the feast
they stab it with their steely knives
but they just can't kill the beast
last thing i remember
i was running for the door
i had to find the passage back to the place i was before
"relax" said the nightman
"we are programed to recieve
you can check out any time you like
but you can never leave"





Pearl Jam
- Jeremy -

at home and drawing pictures of mountain tops, with him on top
lemon yellow sun, arms raised in a v
and the dead lay in pools of maroon below

daddy didn't give attention
to the fact that mommy didn't care
King Jeremy the Wicked, ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today

clearly i remember pickin' on the boy
seemed a harmless little fuck
but we unleashed a lion
gnashed his teeth and bit the recess lady's breast
how could i forget?
and he hit me with a surprise left
my jaw left hurtin', dropped wide open
just like the day, like the day i heard

daddy didn't give affection, no
and the boy was something that mommy wouldn't wear
King Jeremy the Wicked, ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today
try to forget this...try to forget this...
try to erase this...try to erase this...
from the blackboard...
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in, spoke in
Jeremy spoke in, spoke in
Jeremy spoke in class today...
(spoke in, spoke in...)
