Spoon - Chicago at Night

Spoon - Chicago at Night

Now when she went to Chicago that night she faced a wall
And she woke up outside with all those leaves in her mouth
And felt the pall
And all night the rain came on down
But then she'd never been to Chicago at night before the fall
And it don't stop not at all
It falls all around
In the city
Hits the ground

And now everybody's at disadvantage
Speaking with their second language

She'd never been there before they went and set up the wall
And though nobody'd expected much from this reinvention
She still broke right down after all
Because she knew that it was all over and we'd hit a wall
And like the fall this was all
Now it's all around
In the city
On the ground

And now everybody's at disadvantage
Speaking with their second language

And I never been to the wall
Never been to the wall
Never been to the wall
Never been to the wall
Never been to the wall
Never been to the wall
Never been to the wall

Ride - In a Different Place

Ride - In a Different Place

Blowing bubbles, lying down,
Waiting for the rain to fall.
Laughing at the people,
Wonder why they always rush, never slow down.

And we're smiling, when we're sleeping,
And we're smiling, when we're waking.

Even if the rain falls down, and all the sky turns cold,
I will feel fine.
Thunder roared and lightning flashed,
But you and I are in a different time.

Floating in and out of time,
In and out of space.
No-one can touch us,
We're in a different space.

Myslovitz - Sound of Solitude



And even left alone one day
Ain't gonna change, it's not my world
Before me there's a road I know
The one I chose myself to go

Yeah, perfect forever, always clever
Should I be and I should feel
Super cool but then I am a fool
But then it's not me

And even left alone one day
Ain't gonna change, it's not my world
Before me there's a road I know
The one I chose myself to go

See, I like the evenings
Like to get hidden for quite some time
And yet, I like against my nature with ostentation
To stay alone, climb to a tree top
And keep looking skyward
No sensation, but I know that right here
For another time
Can't be who I wanna be

And even left alone one day
Ain't gonna change, it's not my world
Before me there's a road I know
The one I chose myself to go

Nights, some nights I awake to
Go out though I hate it
Look at this chemical world
Smelling like grayness, like paper love sadness
With you and me and someone else
Don't know who, wants to be
For several years
With obsession and with ostentation
Left alone a while I've seen that guy

And even left alone one day
Ain't gonna change, it's not my world
Before me there's a road I know
The one I chose myself to go

The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army



I'm gonna fight 'em all
A nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back

And I'm talking to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette
And the message coming from my eyes
Says leave it alone

Don't want to hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell

And if I catch it coming back my way
I'm gonna serve it to you
And that aint what you want to hear
But thats what I'll do
And the feeling coming from my bones
Says find a home

I'm going to Wichita
Far from this opera for evermore
I'm gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding
Right before the lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me
And I will sing no more
And the stains coming from my blood
Tell me go back home

Placebo - Teenage Angst



Shine the headlight, straight into my eyes.
Like the roadkill, I'm paralysed.
You see through my disguise

At the drive-in, double feature,
pull the lever, break the fever
and say your last goodbyes.

Since I was born I started to decay.
Now nothing ever ever goes my way

One fluid gesture, like stepping back in time.
Trapped in amber, petrified.
I'm still not satisfied

Airs and social graces, elocution so divine.
I'll stick to my needle, and my favourite waste of time,
both spineless and sublime.

Since I was born I started to decay.
Now nothing ever - ever goes my way.
