Keep this feeling Safe tonight

 7.  Hyper-ballad (Björk)

 we live on a mountain right at the top there’s a beautiful view from the top of the mountain
every morning i walk towards the edge and throw little things off like:
car-parts, bottles and cutlery or whatever i find lying around
it’s become a habit  a way to start the day

i go through this before you wake up so i can feel happier to be safe up here with you

it’s real early morning no-one is awake i’m back at my cliff still throwing things off
i listen to the sounds they make on their way down
i follow with my eyes ‘til they crash imagine what my body would sound like
slamming against those rocks and when it lands will my eyes be closed or open?

i’ll go through all this before you wake up so i can feel happier to be safe up here with you

 

 8.  Yellow (Coldplay)

 

Look at the stars, Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do, Yeah, they were all yellow.

 I came along, I wrote a song for you,
And all the things you do, And it was called "Yellow."

 So then I took my turn, Oh what a thing to have done,
And it was all "Yellow."

 Your skin Oh yeah, your skin and bones,
Turn into something beautiful,
You know, you know I love you so, You know I love you so.

 I swam across, I jumped across for you,
Oh what a thing to do.  Cos you were all "Yellow,"
I drew a line, I drew a line for you,
Oh what a thing to do, And it was all "Yellow."

Your skin, Oh yeah your skin and bones,
Turn into something beautiful,
And you know for you, I’d bleed myself dry for you,
I’d bleed myself dry. It’s true, look how they shine for you,

Look how they shine for you, Look how they shine for, 
Look how they shine for you (X2)  Look how they shine.

Look at the stars, Look how they shine for you,
And all the things that you do

 9.  My sweet prince (Placebo)

 Never thought you’d make me perspire.

Never thought I'd do you the same.

Never thought I'd fill with desire. 

Never thought I'd feel so ashamed.



Me and the dragon can chase all the pain away. 

So before I end my day, remember.. 

My sweet prince, you are the one 

My sweet prince you are the one



Never thought I'd have to retire 

Never thought I'd have to abstain

Never thought all this could back fire 

Close up the hole in my vain



Me and my valuable friend can fix all the pain away

So before I end my day remember 

My sweet prince you are the one

My sweet prince you are the one 

you are the one you are the one (X2) 



Never thought I'd get any higher 

Never thought you'd fuck with my brain

Never thought all this could expire 

Never thought you'd go break the chain

Me and you baby, still flush all the pain away

So before I end my day remember My sweet prince

you are the one My sweet prince, you are the one (X9) 

My sweet prince My sweet prince

 10.  For what it’s worth (The Cardigans)

 

One, two, three, four

Hey baby come round Keep holding me down
And I’ll be keeping you up tonight.
The four letter word got stuck in my head
The dirtiest word that I’ve ever said It’s making me feel alright.

For what it’s worth I love you And what is worse I really do
Oh what is worse I’m gonna run run run
‘Till the sweetness gets to you And what is worse I love you!

Hey please baby come back There’ll be no more loving attack
And I’ll be keeping it cool tonight.

The four letter word is out of my head
Come on around get back in my bed
Keep making me feel alright.

For what it’s worth I like you And what is worse I really do
Things have been worse And we had fun fun fun
‘Till I said I love you And what is worse I really do!

For what it’s worth I love you
And what is worse I really do. Oh
For what it’s worth I love you
And what is worse I really do. Oh
For what it’s worth I love you
And what is worse I really do….

 

11.  The rat who would be king (Matthew Good Band)

 

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while
Once you’re in you’re pretty much fucked
When I was the rat The rat who would be king
I imagined typhoid and us alone Always us alone
And I’ve waited on the sidelines all this time
And I’ve a grenade With our names scratched on the side
But that’s love And you know that love’s not enough

Crawl from the sea Wait for some thumbs
A greatness to breed Build the mall of America
When I was rat The rat would be king
I imagined ashes and us alone Always us alone
And I’ve waited on the sidelines all this time And I’ve a grenade
With our names scratched on the side But that’s just love
And you know that love’s not enough

 

12.  The scientist (Coldplay)

 

Come up to meet you, tell you I’m sorry

You don’t know how lovely you are

I had to find you, tell you I need you Tell you I set you apart

Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions

Oh let’s go back to the start Running in circles, coming up tails

Heads on a science apart

 

Nobody said it was easy Oh it’s such a shame for us to part

Nobody said it was easy

No one ever said that it would be this hard

Oh take me back to the start

 

I was just guessing at numbers and figures

Pulling the puzzles apart

Questions of science, science and progress

Do not speak as loud as my heart

Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me

Oh and I rush to the start

Running in circles, chasing our tails Coming back as we are

 

Nobody said it was easy Oh it’s such a shame for us to part

Nobody said it was easy No one ever said it would be so hard

I’m going back to the start, Oh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh (x4)

 

13.  A question of lust (Depeche Mode)

 

Fragile  Like a baby in your arms

Be gentle with me I’d never willingly Do you harm
Apologies Are all you seem to get from me

But just like a child you make me smile
When you care for me And you know…

It’s a question of lust It’s a question of trust
It’s a question of not letting What we’ve built up

Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more That keep us together

Independence Is still important for us though (we realise)
It’s easy to make The stupid mistake

Of letting go (do you know what I mean)
My weaknesses You know each and every one

(it frightens me)
But I need to drink More than you seem to think
Before I’m anyone’s And you know…

It’s a question of lust It’s a question of trust
It’s a question of not letting What we’ve built up

Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more That keep us together

Kiss me goodbye When I’m on my own

But you know that I’d Rather be home

It’s a question of lust It’s a question of trust
It’s a question of not letting

What we’ve built up Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more That keep us together

 

14.  #1 crush (Garbage)

 

I would die for you I would die for you
I’ve been dying just to feel you by my side

To know that you’re mine

I will cry for you I will cry for you
I will wash away your pain with all my tears
And drown your fear

I will pray for you I will pray for you
I will sell my soul for something pure and true
Someone like you

See your face every place that I walk in
Hear your voice every time I am talking
You will believe in me And I will never be ignored

I will burn for you Feel pain for you
I will twist the knife and bleed my aching heart
I’ll tear it apart

I will lie for you Beg and steal for you
I will crawl on hands and knees until you see
You’re just like me

Violate all my love that I’m missing
Throw away all the pain that I’m living
You will believe in me And I can never be ignored

I would die for you I would kill for you
I will steal for you I’d do time for you
I would wait for you I’d make room for you
I’d sail ships for you To be close to you
To be a part of you ‘Cause I believe in you
I believe in you I would die for you.

 

15.  Tomorrow never knows (OLP)

 

listen to the colour of your dreams…
turn off your mind, relax and float downstream
then it’s not dying, then it’s not dying
lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void
and it is shining, it is shining
now you may see the meaning of within it is being, it is being

love is all, love is everyone
and it is knowing, andit is knowing
let ignorance and hate mingle with dead
it is believing, it is believing
oh play the game, existence to the end
of the beginning, of the beginning
of the beginning, beginning

turn off your mind, relax and float downstream
it is not dying, it is not dying
play the game, existence to the end
of the beginning, of the beginning
of the beginning, of the beginning,
lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void
of the beginning, of the beginning, of the beginning

 

16.  The hardest part (Coldplay)

 

And the hardest part
Was letting go not taking part
Was the hardest part
And the strangest thing
Was waiting for that bell to ring
It was the strangest start

I could feel it go down
Bittersweet I could taste in my mouth
Silver lining the clouds
Oh, and I,
I wish that I could work it out

And the hardest part
Was letting go not taking part
You really broke my heart
And I tried to sing
But I couldn’t think of anything
And that was the hardest part

I could feel it go down
You left the sweetest taste in my mouth
Silver lining the cloud
Oh, and I,
Oh, and I,
I wonder what it’s all about
I wonder what it’s all about

Everything I know is wrong
Everything I do it just comes undone
And everything is torn apart
Oh and that’s the hardest part
That’s the hardest part
Yeah, that’s the hardest part
That’s the hardest part
