A lonely chord, without a song.

Ten Foot Pole- Regret

its no use trying to make sense,
it doesn't matter anyway,
theres no one worth the pain,
no reason left to stay,
i try to turn it off
where did the old me go?
how did i get so far away?
i just don't know,

every act of kindness boils down to lust or greed,
no one acts from altruism it all comes down to need,
theres a monster inside my heart,
trying to tear my world apart,
theres a monster inside my head,
who tells me i'd be better off dead,

i try to turn it off get back to positive,
don't wanna drag you down to the street where i live,
i try to turn it off get back to happy days,
pull this barrel from my mouth and look for better ways,

everything you ever tried,
every time you might have lied,
every flaw you tried to hide,
every drop you ever cried,
every time you've been denied,
every tear you ever dried,
everything builds up inside in waves of regret miles wide.

"Big damn heroes, sir!"

Die gedanken sind frei:
My thoughts freely flower.
Die gedanken sind frei:
My thoughts give me power.
No scholar can map them,
No hunter can trap them.
No man can deny:
Die gedanken sind frei.
No man can deny:
Die gedanken sind frei.

I think as I please
And this give me pleasure.
My conscience decrees
This right I must treasure.
My thoughts will not cater
To duke or dictator;
No man can deny:
De gedanken sind frei.
No man can deny:
Die gedanken sind frei.

And should tyrants take me
And throw me in prison,
My thoughts will burst free
Like blossoms in season.
Foundations will crumble
And the prison will tumble
And free men will cry:
Die gedanken sind frei!
And free men will cry:
Die gedanken sind frei!

Boobbah is watching you

Devotchka - How it ends

Hold your grandmother's bible to your breast
Going to put it to the test
You wanted it to be blessed

And in your heart
You know it to be true
You know what you gotta do
They all depend on you

And you already know
Yeah you already know how this will end

There is no escape
From the slave catchers songs
Follow the loved ones gone
Forever's not so long

And in your soul
They poked out a million holes
But you never let them show
Come on it's time to go

And you already know
Yeah you already know how this will end

Now you've seen his face
And you know that there is a place in the sun
For all that you've done
For you and your children

No longer shall you kneel
You always wanted to believe
Just ask and you shall receive
Beyond your wildest dreams

And you already know
Yeah you already know how this will end.

You already know, you already know, you already know how this will end.

You know what that song's really about, right?

"Skyline Drive" - Mae

Sometimes I run, but I'm not afraid.
Why must you bring up all the mistakes I've made?
She makes me smile, but you come around.
The wind in her hair reflects the sunset I see.

You make it seem like it was yesterday.
But we've come a long way out of the rain.
Can't seem to figure out what happens after this.
Why can't I?

Why must you say I made a mess out of things?
I won't believe it.
Tonight feels right like I'm dancing on air.
I'll make it right, I'll make it right.
Pull over to the station and fill up on fuel.
And what will I do?

Sometimes I drive or ride with my eyes closed tight
because if the skyline looks this way
then I don't want to sleep tonight.
Never giving up, always seeking light,
we must always try, try with all our might.

Sometimes I drive or ride with my eyes closed tight
because if the skyline looks this way
then I don't want to sleep tonight.

I make shiny things, you need them.

PERSISTENCE OF MEMORY by Afro Celt Soundsystem

 

When I’m traveling far from home
On the wide horizon
I can feel you’re still around
And the dream overtakes me

 

Then I know, you’ll stay in this moment
We’ll go where it’s flowing
You’ll be what you want to be
Right here, with me

 

When I’m out here on my own
And it all cuts through me
I see you’re safe alone
Ah, then it hits me

 

And I know, you’re here in this moment
Right where it’s flowing
You are what you want to be
Right here, with me

 

Stay in this moment
Go where it’s flowing
You are what you want to be
Right here, with me . . . with me . . . with me. . .

Where oh where have you been my love?
Where oh where can you be?
It's been so long, since the moon has gone.
And oh what a wreck you've made me.

Are you there over the ocean?
Are you there, up in the sky?
Until the return of my love,
This lullabye.

My hope is on the horizon.
Every face, it's your eyes I can see.
I plead, I pray through each night and day,
Our embrace is only a dream.

And as sure as days come from moments,
Each hour becomes a life's time.
When she'd left, I'd only begun this lullabye...

August- sung by Anuna

She’ll come at dusky first of day,
White over yellow harvest’s song
Upon her dewy rainbow way
She shall be beautiful and strong
The lidless of eye shall spray
Tan on her ankles in the hay,
Shall kiss her brown the whole long.

I’ll know her in the windrows, tall
Above the crickets of the hay.
I’ll know her when her odd eyes fall
One May-blue, one November-grey.
I’ll watch her from the red barn wall
Take down her rusty scythe, and call,
And I will follow her away.

You know what that song's really about, right?

"Somewhere Only We Know" - Keane

I walked across an empty land,
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand.
I felt the earth beneath my feet,
Sat by the river and it made me complete.
Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on.
So tell me when you're gonna let me in,
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin.

I came across a fallen tree,
I felt the branches; are they looking at me?
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on.
So tell me when you're gonna let me in,
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin.
So if you have a minute why don't we go,
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything.
So why don't we go, somewhere only we know,
Somewhere only we know.

Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on.
So, tell me when you gonna let me in,
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin.
So if you have a minute why don't we go,
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything.
So why don't we go, so why don't we go,

This could be the end of everything.
So why don't we go, somewhere only we know,
Somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know.

GALINDA
(spoken) Elphie - now that we're friends, I've decided to
make you my new project.

ELPHABA
(spoken) You really don't have to do that

GALINDA
(spoken) I know. That's what makes me so nice!

(sung)
Whenever I see someone less fortunate than I
And let's face it - who isn't less fortunate than I?
My tender heart tends to start to bleed

And when someone needs a makeover
I simply have to take over
I know, I know exactly what they need
And even in your case
Though it's the toughest case I've yet to face
Don't worry, I'm determined to succeed
Follow my lead, and yes, indeed
You will be

Popular! You're gonna be popular!
I'll teach you the proper poise
When you talk to boys
Little ways to flirt and flounce
Ooh! I'll show you what shoes to wear
How to fix your hair
Everything that really counts

To be popular
I'll help you be popular!
You'll hang with the right cohorts
You'll be good at sports
Know the slang you've got to know
So let's start 'cause you've got an awfully long way to go

Don't be offended by my frank analysis
Think of it as personality dialysis
Now that I've chosen to be come a pal
A sister and adviser, there's nobody wiser
Not when it comes to popular -
I know about popular
And with an assist from me
To be who you'll be
Instead of dreary who you were, well, are
There's nothing that can stop you
From becoming popu-ler. LAR!
La la la la ... We're gonna make you popular

When I see depressing creatures
With unprepossessing features
I remind them on their own behalf
To think of celebrated heads of state
Or specially great communicators
Did they have brains or knowledge?
Don't make me laugh!

They were popular! Please -
It's all about popular!
It's not about aptitude
It's the way you're viewed
So it's very shrewd to be
Very very popular like me!

(spoken) Why, Miss Elphaba, look at you. You're beautiful.

ELPHABA(spoken) I - I have to go.

GALINDA
(spoken) You're welcome!

(sung)
And though you protest your disinterest
I know clandestinely
You're gonna grin and bear it
Your new found popularity

La la la la ... You'll be popular
Just not as quite as popular as me!

The Cure - "A Forest"
Come closer and see
see into the trees
find the girl
while you can
Come closer and see
see into the dark
just follow your eyes
just follow your eyes

I hear her voice
calling my name
the sound is deep
in the dark
I hear her voice
and start to run
into the trees
into the trees

into the trees

Suddenly I stop
but i know it's too late
I'm lost in a forest
all alone
The girl was never there
it's always the same
I'm running towards nothing
again and again and again

A blue sky before the end of the rainy season
  makes a heart dance with expectation.
Summer is coming yet again.
The city and people are coming to life
  bursting with joy.
Me?  I'm thinking of you
  in this new city where unfamiliar winds blow.
Embracing a little bit of insecurity.
Yet looking only to tomorrow
  to make my dreams come true.
A man who's grown up
  without losing his boyish heart.
We can't go back to the day
  we met for the first time, but...
If I close my eyes,
  I can see your smiling face.
The song we both loved--
  Do you still sing it?

I can hear it:
  Your tender voice, and that melody.
At moments when I am weak of heart
  I remember you all the more clearly.

Sometimes, I begin to hate myself
  when I hurt someone with thoughtless words.
Yet I am so weak and small
  I try to escape.
Please: tell me to be strong!
Singing softly to myself
  the melody we had sung together
Made me shed a tear
  and long to see you.

I can hear it:
  Your tender voice, and that melody.
At moments when I am weak of heart
  I remember you all the more clearly.

You played the guitar
  over the phone just for me
The phrase repeats itself in my ears
  making my heart ache.
It is the same season that we first met
  the memories are too vivid.
Even through hesitation and anxiety
  I will never forget you.


Ending melody, Season one "I My Me, Strawberry Eggs"

I just want to feel safe in my own skin
I just want to be happy again
I just want to feel deep in my own world
but I'm so lonely I don't even want to be with myself anymore
On a different day if I was safe in my own skin
then I wouldn't feel so lost and so frightened
But this is today and I'm lost in my own skin

And I'm so lonely I don't even want to be with myself anymore

I just want to feel safe in my own skin
I just want to be happy again

Some bitch PhD from MIT,
thought he'd build up his rep and step to me.
I fucked him up quick, yo lickety-split,
believe it I'm the wrong professor to fuck with.

I got more funk than a road-kill skunk.

Boom


I was in a plane to Panama
And a fly landed on her thigh
And I thought I brushed it off quite brashly
I introduced myself
And she said her name was sky.

A simple Hi and I could tell
That her plainness was well seamless
And somewhere deep inside
She drove a calm and weightless determination

And to what lands her mind would travel
I don't know but I was so curious
I had to keep on thinking of her floating through the clouds Yeah

I asked her whether she enjoyed being in the air
And airily she answered with an accent so careful
I could feel each syllable while
I love things that seem impossible
I love things that seem impossible
Well I love things that seem impossible
And I love things that seem impossible Yeah

Seem impossible
Seem impossible
I love things that seem impossible

And to what lands her mind would travel
I don't know but I was so curious
I had to keep on thinking of her floating through the clouds Yeah

You know what that song's really about, right?

"Sun" - Mae



I'm a mess, I guess.
It's what I've asked for, it's what I've needed.
Well, you know me better than,
or at least you did then something happened.
But once again, well, something's happened.
The confidence you held in us is
the rope we almost hung ourselves with.
At times I wonder if we really took the steps
to break right through it.
I know that there were better days,
but to see the light and to feel the rays.
Life was always back and forth
and we were idling or making useless progress.

Waiting for the rain to stop.
Destination: beautiful.
Seems that I'm still waiting for the sun. (Whoa yeah)
Someday will come back to us, if you're willing, let it go.
Why won't you just let this be your sun? (oh oh)
It seems like yesterday we had the world our way.
But some (whoa) say we're headed for destruction.

i'll ask you "What in the world should we do?"
This light is green our break is through.
Are we not trying or we're trying too hard?
Well, you know I never want to miss,
I hold on tight and reminisce.
But it's bittersweet to me.
When time stands still as it's trapped inside
the letterbox you gave back to me.
But I'm the one who keeps on reading.
But I'm the one who wants to let it go.
I'm the first to speak.
You're the last to know.
Another scene that we're creating,
I need to know if we're still making useless progress.

Waiting for the rain to stop.
Destination: beautiful.
Seems that I'm still waiting for the sun. (Whoa ohh)
Someday will come back to us, if you're willing let it go.
Why won't you just let this be your sun? (whoa ohh)
It seems like yesterday we had the world our way.
But some (whoa) say we're headed for destruction.

Waiting for the rain to stop.
Destination: beautiful.
Seems that I'm still waiting for the sun.
Someday will come back to us, if you're willing let it go.
Why won't you just let this be your sun?
It seems like yesterday we had the world our way.

I make shiny things, you need them.

Toto Coelo "I Eat Cannibals"
I eat cannibal, feed on animal
Your love is so edible to me, I eat cannibals
I eat cannibal, it's incredible
You bring out the animal in me, I eat cannibals

What can you do, you're in a stew
Hot pot, cook it up, I'm never gonna stop

Fancy a bite, my appitite, Yum, yum, gee it's fun
Banging on a different drum

I Eat Cannibal, feed on animal
Your love is so edible to me, I eat cannibals
I eat cannibal, it's incredible
You bring out the animal in me, I eat cannibals

I like spice, tasty and nice
Looks trim, vitamin, forget the dieting
Mmm such a dish, I can't resist
Healthy recipe, what you got it's good for me

All I wanna do, is make a meal of you
We are what we eat, you're my kind of meat
Got a hunger for your love, it's what I'm speaking of
Give a dog a bone, I can take it home

Sung in unison with last two lines of previous verse:
Hot pot, cook it up, I'm never gonna stop
Yum, yum, gee it's fun, I'm banging on a drum
Looks trim, vitamin, forget the dieting
I eat cannibaaaallls

I eat cannibal, feed on animal
Your love is so edible to me, I eat cannibals
I eat cannibal, it's incredible
You bring out the animal in me, I eat cannibals (fade

Polite Dance Song- by The Bird and the Bee

give it up for me please
put your hands in the air
if you know what's good for you
you wanna shake it like you just don't care

would you please clap your hands
now get up on your feet
i beg of you to get up and dance
it's such a crazy kick ass beat

[chorus]

pardon me
the music is moving
moving from left to right
apologies
for losing my cooling
losing the day to night

since i'm asking so nice
would you just entertain
there's nothing left to hide you away
just show a little bit of brain

yes that is what i mean
that's the nail that i hit
i try to be as coy as i can
but i wanna see your naughty bit

would you please, would you please
would you, would you please
(apologies)

[repeat 3x]

[repeat chorus]

would you be nasty with me
do you like dancing with me
i think we have a very special *quality*

i want to show it to you
i want to grow it with you

[repeat chorus]
