01.  This is love (P.J. Harvey)
 
I can’t believe life’s so complex
When I just wanna’ sit here and watch you undress
This is love that I’m feeling
Does it have to be a life full of dread?
I wanna’ chase you round the table, I wanna’ touch your head
This is love that I’m feeling
I can’t believe that the axis turns on suffering
When you taste so good
I can’t believe that the axis turns on suffering
While my head burns
This is love that I’m feeling
Even in the summer, even in the spring
You can never get too much of a wonderful thing

You’re the only story that I never told
You’re my dirty little secret, wanna’ keep you so
Come on out, come on over, help me forget
Keep the walls from falling on me, tumbling in
– This is love that I’m feeling

 
02.  For you (HIM)
 
In the grace of your love I writhe, writhe in pain
In 666 ways I love you and I hope you feel the same
I’m for you I’m for you

I’m killing myself for your love and again all is lost
In 777 ways I love you ‘til my death do us apart

I’m for you – and I’m dying for your love
I’m for you – and my heaven is wherever you are
I’m for you – and I’m dying for your love
I’m for you – and my heaven is wherever you are

In 666 ways I love you and my heaven is wherever
you are
I’m here for you – I am here for you (X4)

 
03.  Stand inside your love (Smashing Pumpkins)
 
You and me Meant to be Immutable Impossible
It’s destiny Pure lunacy  Incalculable Insufferable

But for the last time You’re everything that I want and ask for
You’re all that I’d dreamed

Who wouldn’t be the one you love
Who wouldn’t stand inside your love
Protected and the lover of
A pure soul and beautiful you
Don’t understand Don’t feel me now
I will breathe For the both of us
Travel the world Traverse the skies
Your home is here Within my heart

And for the first time I feel as though I am reborn In my mind
Recast as child and mystic sage
Who wouldn’t be the one you love
Who wouldn’t stand inside your love

And for the first time
I’m telling you how much I need and bleed for
Your every move and waking sound In my time
I’ll wrap my wire around your heart and your mind
You’re mine forever now

Who wouldn’t be the one you love and live for
Who wouldn’t stand inside your love and die for
Who wouldn’t be the one you love
 
04.  Bloodflowers (The Cure)
 
"this dream never ends" you said "this feel never goes
the time will never come to slip away" "this wave never breaks" you said
"this sun never sets again these flowers will never fade"
"this world never stops" you said "this wonder never leaves
the time will never come to say goodbye" "this tide never turns" you said
"this night never falls again these flowers will never die"

never die never die these flowers will never die

"this dream always ends" i said "this feeling always goes
the time always comes to slip away" "this wave always breaks" i said
"this sun always sets again and these flowers will always fade"
"this world always stops" i said "this wonder always leaves
the time always comes to say goodbye" "this tide always turns" i said
"this night always falls again and these flowers will always die"
always die always die these flowers will always die

between you and me it’s hard to ever really know who to trust how to think what to believe
between me and you it’s hard to ever really know who to choose how to feel what to do

never fade never die you give me flowers of love
always fade always die i let fall flowers of blood

 
05.  There is a light that never goes out (The Smiths)
 
Take me out tonight Where there’s music and there’s people
And they’re young and alive Driving in your car
I never never want to go home Because I haven’t got one
Anymore

Take me out tonight Because I want to see people and I
Want to see life Driving in your car
Oh, please don’t drop me home
Because it’s not my home, it’s their

Home, and I’m welcome no more

And if a double-decker bus Crashes into us
To die by your side Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck Kills the both of us
To die by your side Well, the pleasure – the privilege is mine

Take me out tonight Take me anywhere, I don’t care
I don’t care, I don’t care And in the darkened underpass
I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last
(But then a strange fear gripped me and I Just couldn’t ask)

Take me out tonight Oh, take me anywhere, I don’t care
I don’t care, I don’t care Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven’t got one, da … Oh, I haven’t got one

And if a double-decker bus Crashes into us
To die by your side Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck Kills the both of us
To die by your side Well, the pleasure – the privilege is mine

Oh, There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out
There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out (X8)

 
06.  In your room (Depeche Mode)
 
In your room Where time stands still
Or moves at your will Will you let the morning come soon
Or will you leave me lying here In your favourite darkness
Your favourite half-light
Your favourite consciousness Your favourite slave

In your room Where souls disappear
Only you exist here Will you lead me to your armchair
Or leave me lying here Your favourite innocence
Your favourite prize Your favourite smile Your favourite slave

I’m hanging on your words Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin Will I always be here

In your room Your burning eyes
Cause flames to arise Will you let the fire die down soon
Or will I always be here
Your favourite passion Your favourite game
Your favourite mirror Your favourite slave

I’m hanging on your words Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin Will I always be here
Will I always be here

 
07.  Lovesong (The Cure)
 
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again
 
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again
 
However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again
 
However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say,  I will always love you (X2)
 
08.  Northern star (Hole)
 
And I cry and no one can hear Inhale
The blinded eyes that see The chaos Bring the pitiful to me
Even though I’m wide awake I will & blackest night
& I wait for you It’s cold in here there’s no one left
& I wait for you & nothing stops it happening & I knew
I’d cherish all my misery alone
And I wait staring at the Northern Star
I’m afraid it won’t lead me anywhere
He’s so cold he will ruin the world tonight
All the angels kneel into the Northern Lights Kneel into the frozen lights And they paid, I cry and cry for you
Ghosts that haunt you with their sorrow
I cried ‘cause you were doomed
Praying to the wound that swallows All that’s cold and cruel
Can you see the trees, charity and gratitude,
They run to the pines
It’s black in here blot out the sun & run to the pines
Our misery runs wild and free & I knew,
the fire and the ashes of his grace…
And I wait staring at the Northern Star
I’m afraid it won’t lead you very far
He’s so cold he will win the world tonight
All the angels kneel into the frozen lights
Feel their hearts they’re cold and white
And I want you And blessed are the broken And I beg you
No loneliness, no misery is worth you
Oh tear his heart out cold as ice it’s mine
And I wait praying to the Northern Star
I’m afraid it won’t lead you anywhere
He’s so cold raining on the world tonight
All the angels kneeling to the Northern Lights
And I pray begging to the Northern Star
I’m afraid it won’t lead you anywhere
He’s so cold he will rule the world tonight All the angels kneeling to the Northern Lights Kneeling to the frozen lights
Feel their hearts they’re cold as ice…..
 
09.  Here with me (Dido)
 
I didn’t hear you leave I wonder how am I still here
And I don’t want to move a thing It might change my memory

[Chorus:] Oh I am what I am I’ll do what I want
But I can’t hide I won’t go I won’t sleep I can’t breathe
Until you’re resting here with me I won’t leave I can’t hide
I cannot be Until you’re resting here with me

I don’t want to call my friends

They might wake me from this dream
And I can’t leave this bed Risk forgetting all that’s been
[Chorus]
 
10.  The power of love (Frankie goes to Hollywood)
 
I’ll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door
Feels like fire I’m so in love with you
Dreams are like angels They keep bad at bay-bad at bay
Love is the light Scaring darkness away-yeah
I’m so in love with you Purge the soul Make love your goal

[1]-The power of love A force from above
Cleaning my soul Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul Make love your goal

I’ll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door
When the chips are down I’ll be around
With my undying, death-defying Love for you
Envy will hurt itself Let yourself be beautiful
Sparkling love, flowers And pearls and pretty girls
Love is like an energy Rushin’ rushin’ inside of me

[Repeat 1]

This time we go sublime Lovers entwine-divine divine
Love is danger, love is pleasure Love is pure-the only treasure
I’m so in love with you Purge the soul Make love your goal
The power of love A force from above
Cleaning my soul The power of love
A force from above A sky-scraping dove

Flame on burn desire Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul Make love your goal
I’ll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door

 
11.  The same deep water as you (The Cure)
 
kiss me goodbye pushing out before i sleep
can’t you see i try swimming the same deep
water as you is hard ‘the shallow drowned lose
less than we’ you breathe the strangest twist
upon your lips ‘and we shall be together…’

‘kiss me goodbye bow your head and join with
me’ and face pushed deep rteflections meet
the strangest twist upon your lips and dissapear the ripples clear and laughing break
against your feet and laughing break the mirror sweet ‘so we shall be together…’

‘kiss me goodbye’ pushing out before i sleep
it’s lower now and slower now the strangest
twist upon your lips but i don’t see and i dont
feel but tightly hold up silently my hands
before my fading eyes and in my eyes your smile the very last thing before i go…

i will kiss you i will kiss you i will kiss you
forever on nights like this i will kiss you i will
kiss you and we shall be together…

 

12.  Waking up beside you (Stabbing Westward)
 
I’ve been so alone for so long Forgotten by the world Forgotten to myself
Your effervescent eyes have awakened me
And brushed the dust away But I knew you’d never stay
So I memorized the color of your eyes
as I lost myself inside you And I memorized the way our legs entwined
as I drifted off beside you  I miss God I miss Waking up beside you

At night I cling to you, I’m so afraid Afraid the day will come And I’ll wake and find you gone
But you promised that you’d not abandon me
And kissed my fears away But I woke up to that day

But I had memorized the way our eyes would meet reflected in the bathroom mirror
And I memorized your naked silhouette

as you slowly brushed your hair
I miss God I miss Waking up beside you I’ve been so alone for so long
I forgot how much it hurts To wake up so alone

But I memorized how warm your body felt as you lay half asleep beside me
And I memorized the way the sunlight filled the room and played upon your body
I miss God I miss Waking up beside you (X2)

 

 13.  I really hope (The Cranberries)

 

I don’t down this row before Now I’m coming back for more
This is like a de-ja-vu I was born to be with you Into the night we went to sleep
You and I were meant for peace Into the night we went to play  You and I

I really hope you’ll always be So in love with me
I really hope we’ll always stay So attached this way
I really hope you’ll always be So in love with me
I really hope we’ll always stay So attached this way

So beware of the pitfall We don’t have to change at all
And our life will not burn out It’s one freedom all about
Into the night we go to sleep You and I were meant for kiss
Into the night we go to play You and I
I really hope you’ll always be So in love with me
I really hope we’ll always stay So attached this way  (X4)

I really hope that you’ll always be here I really hope that you’ll always be near
Take really note that I’ll always be here I really hope that we’ll always be near

 

14.  Come to me (Björk)
 
Come to me I’ll take care of you Protect you
Calm, calm down You’re exhausted Come lie down
You don’t have to explain I understand

You know That I adore you You know That I love you So don’t make me say it
It would burst the bubble Break the charm

Jump off Your building’s on fire I’ll catch you I’ll catch you
Destroy all that is keeping you back And then I’ll nurse you I’ll nurse you
Come to me I’ll take care of you You don’t have to explain I understand

 15.  Let me give the world to you (Smashing Pumpkins)

last chance to make believe in always and all it seems
train wrecks hide underneath your umbrella
set the frame destiny on this first name soliloquy tired symphonies play downward

let me give the world to you my love (X2)
let me show you what i’m thinking of
let me give the world to you my love so far so far so far

lovers form dead excuse and blur the line with soul abuse
my lonesome lines just have no use around here
new skin may hold you in but the old skin still turns us on
flicker fades the nitrate dawn to wear

let me give the world to you my love let me show you what i’m thinking of
times are hard and we’re the last in line
‘cause in my grief i’d forgotten what was mine

no i wouldn’t change a thing no i, no
no i wouldn’t change a thing about the way you are
the distance here, the speed so far so far so far so far

let me give the world to you my love (X2)
let me give the world to you (X4) 
let me give the world to you my love so far so far so far

 

16.  What if (Coldplay)
 

What if there was no light? Nothing wrong, nothing right.
What if there was no time? And no reason or rhyme.
What if you should decide
That you don’t want me there by your side.
That you don’t want me there in your life.

What if I got it wrong, and no poem or song
Could put right what I got wrong Or make you feel I belong

What if you should decide
That you don’t want me there by your side
That you don’t want me there in your life.

Oooh, that’s right Let’s take a breath jump over the side
Oooh, that’s right How can you know it if you don’t even try Oooh, that’s right

Every step that you take Could be your biggest mistake
It could bend or it could break But that’s the risk that you take

What if you should decide
That you don’t want me there in your life
That you don’t want me there by your side.

Oooh, that’s right Let’s take a breath jump over the side
Oooh, that’s right How can you know it when you don’t even try Oooh, that’s right

Ohhhhh

Oooh, that’s right Let’s take a breath jump over the side
Oooh, that’s right You know that darkness always turns into light Oooh, that’s right

 

17.  See the sun (Dido)
 

I’m comin’ ‘round to open the blinds You can’t hide here any longer
My God you need to rinse those puffy eyes You can’t last here any longer

And yes they’ll ask you where you’ve been And you’ll have to tell them again and again

And you probably don’t want to hear tomorrow’s another day
Well I promise you you’ll see the sun again
And you’re asking me why pain’s the only way to happiness
And I promise you you’ll see the sun again

Come on take my hand We’re going for a walk, I know you can
You can wear anything as long as it’s not black Please don’t mourn forever
She’s not coming back

And yes they’ll ask you where you’ve been And you’ll have to tell them again and again

And you probably don’t want to hear tomorrow’s another day
Well I promise you you’ll see the sun again
And you’re asking me why pain’s the only way to happiness
And I promise you you’ll see the sun again (X2)

Do you remember telling me you found the sweetest thing of all
You said one day this was worth dying for So be thankful you knew her at all But it’s no more

And you probably don’t want to hear tomorrow’s another day
Well I promise you you’ll see the sun again
And you’re asking me why pain’s the only way to happiness
And I promise you you’ll see the sun again (X4) I promise you you’ll see the sun again

See the sun again (X8)

 

18.  Speed of sound (Coldplay)

 
How long before I get in? Before it starts, before I begin?
How long before you decide? Before I know what it feels like?
Where To, where do I go? If you never try,
then you’ll never know. How long do I have to climb,
Up on the side of this mountain of mine?
 
Look up, I look up at night, Planets are moving at the speed of light.
Climb up, up in the trees, every chance that you get,
is a chance you seize. How long am I gonna stand,
with my head stuck under the sand?
I´ll start before I can stop, before I see things the right way up.
 
All that noise, and all that sound, All those places I got found.
And birds go flying at the speed of sound, to show you how it all began.
Birds came flying from the underground, if you could see it then you’d understand?
 
Ideas that you’ll never find, All the inventors could never design.
The buildings that you put up, Japan and China all lit up.
The sign that I couldn’t read, or a light that I couldn’t see,
some things you have to believe, but others are puzzles, puzzling me.
 
All that noise, and all that sound, All those places I got found.
And birds go flying at the speed of sound, to show you how it all began.
Birds came flying from the underground, if you could see it then you’d understand,
ah when you see it then you’ll understand?
 
All those signs, I knew what they meant. Some things you can invent.
Some get made, and some get sent, Ooh?
Birds go flying at the speed of sound to show you how it all began.
Birds came flying from the underground, if you could see it then you’d understand,
ah, when you see it then you’ll understand?
 
19.  Thank you (Dido)

 

My tea’s gone cold, I’m wondering why I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window and I can’t see at all
And even if I could it’d all be grey, but your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it’s not so bad, it’s not so bad

I drank too much last night, got bills to pay, my head just feels in pain
I missed the bus and there’ll be hell today,
I’m late for work again And even if I’m there, they’ll all imply that I might not last the day
And then you call me and it’s not so bad, it’s not so bad and

I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life

Push the door, I’m home at last
and I’m soaking through and through
Then you hand me a towel and all I see is you
And even if my house falls down,
I wouldn’t have a clue Because you’re near me and

I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life

 

20.  Kiss me (The Cardigans)

 
Kiss me, out of the bearded barley Nightly,beside the green,green grass
Swing,Swing,swing the spinning step You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress

[Chorus] Oh,kiss me beneath the milky twilight

Lit your open hand Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Strike up the band and make the fog lights dance
Silver moon´s sparkling,so kiss me

Kiss me down by the broken tree house Swing me upon its hanging tire

Bring,bring,bring your flowered hat We´ll take the trail marked on your father´s map
Chorus (2x) So kiss me…

2.  The only thing (Stabbing Westward)
 
All I need Is the air you breath
All I need Is the air I breathe
All you need Is the air we breathe

There are so many things We need so desperately
And the TV preaches We can’t live without them
You tell me what is neat I’ll tell ya what I believe
If I ever were without it Then I’d be worthless

‘Cause you are everything The only thing that matters
You are everything The only thing that I need
You are everything The only thing that matters
Yes you are everything You are the air I breathe

I wonder if some day We took all their toys away
Do you think they’d find the strength to go on living?
‘Cause deep inside I know If I lost everything I owned
I’d be a king As long as you’re beside me

‘Cause you are everything The only thing that matters
Yes you are everything The only thing I need
My love means everything The only thing that matters
Yes you are everything, You are the air I breathe (X5)

I hope someday they find A place to bid online
Where all lost souls Can find themselves some meaning
I know we’ll survive All we need’s more time
As long as we’ve got love, and art, And the ocean

And we are everything The only thing that matters
We are everything There’s nothing else I need
Our love is everything The only thing that matters
Cause we are everything You are the air I breathe (till fade)
 
3.  Take my hand (Dido)

Touch my skin,and tell me what you’re thinking
Take my hand and show me where we’re going
Lie down next to me, look into my eyes and tell me,
oh tell me what you’re seeing
So sit on top of the world and tell me how you’re feeling
what you feel now is what I feel for you
Take my hand and if I’m lying to you
I’ll always be alone if I’m lying to you

See my eyes, they carry your reflection
Watch my lips and hear the words I’m telling you
Give your trust to me and look into my heart
and show me, show me what you’re doing
So sit on top of the world and tell me how you’re feeling
what you feel now is what I feel for you

Take my hand and if I’m lying to you I’ll always be alone

if I’m lying to you
Take your time, if I’m lying to you I know you’ll find that you believe me you believe me

Feel the sun on your face and tell me what you’re thinking
Catch the snow on your tongue and show me how it tastes
Take my hand and if I’m lying to you

I’ll always be alone if I’m lying to you
Take your time, if I’m lying to you I know you’ll find that you believe me you believe me
 
4.  Without you I’m nothing (Placebo)
 
Strange infatuation seems to grace the evening tide.
I’ll take it by your side.
Such imagination seems to help the feeling slide.
I’ll take it by your side.
Instant correlation sucks and breeds a pack of lies.
I’ll take it by your side.
Oversaturation curls the skin and tans the hide.
I’ll take it by your side.

tick – tock [x3] tick – tick – tick – tick – tick – tock

I’m unclean, a libertine And every time you vent your spleen,
I seem to lose the power of speech,

Your slipping slowly from my reach.
You grow me like an evergreen,
You never see the lonely me at all
I… Take the plan, spin it sideways. I… Fall.

Without you, I’m Nothing. Without you, I’m nothing.
Without you, I’m nothing.
Take the plan, spin it sideways. Without you, I’m nothing at all
 
5.  Bury me deep inside your heart (HIM)
 
Let me wake up in your arms Hear you say it’s not alright
Let me be self dead and gone So far away from life
Close my eyes Hold me tight
And bury me deep inside your heart

All I ever wanted was you, my love You…all I ever wanted is you, my love
Your’re all I ever wanted, just you

Let me never see the sun And never see your smile
Let us be so dead and so gone So far away from life
Just close my eyes Hold me tight And bury me deep inside your heart

All I ever wanted was you, my love You…

all I ever wanted is you, my love
You’re all I ever wanted, you, oh my love
You’re all I ever wanted, you, my love

That’s the way it’s always been

My heart stops beating only for you Baby
Only for your loving

All I ever wanted was you, my love You…

all I ever wanted is you, my love
You’re all I ever wanted, you, my love
You’re all I ever wanted, you, my love

6.  One line (P.J. Harvey)
 
Do you remember the first kiss? Star shooting across the sky
To come to such a place as this You never left my mind
I’m watching from the wall As in the streets we fight
This world all gone to war All I need is you tonight

And I draw a line To your heart today To heart from mine A line to keep us safe
All through the rising sun All through the circling years
You were the only one Who could have brought me here

And I draw a line To your heart today To heart from mine A line to keep us safe
And I draw a line To your heart today To heart from mine
And pray to keep us safe
Watch the stars now moving Across the sky

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

 

17.  Somebody (Depeche Mode)
 
I want somebody to share Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts Know my intimate details
Someone who’ll stand by my side And give me support
And in return She’ll get my support
She will listen to me When I want to speak
About the world we live in And life in general
Though my views may be wrong They may even be perverted
She will hear me out And won’t easily be converted
To my way of thinking
In fact she’ll often disagree But at the end of it all
She will understand me

I want somebody who cares For me passionately
With every thought and with every breath

Someone who’ll help me see things
In a different light All the things I detest I will almost like
I don’t want to be tied To anyone’s strings
I’m carefully trying to steer clear Of those things
But when I’m asleep I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me
And kiss me tenderly Though things like this Make me sick
In a case like this I’ll get away with it
 
18.  You look so fine (Garbage)
 
You look so fine I want to break your heart And give you mine You’re taking me over
It’s so insane You’ve got me tethered and chained
I hear your name And I’m falling over

I’m not like all the other girls I can’t take it like the other girls
I won’t share it like the other girls That you used to know, You look so fine

Knocked down Cried out Been down just to find out I’m through Bleeding for you
I’m open wide I want to take you home We’ll waste some time You’re the only one for me

You look so fine I’m like the desert tonight Leave her behind If you want to show me

I’m not like all the other girls I won’t take it like the other girls
I won’t fake it like the other girls That you used to know
You’re taking me over Over and over

I’m falling over Over and over
You’re taking me over Drown in me one more time
Hide inside me tonight Do what you want to do
Just pretend happy end Let me know let it show
Ending with letting go [3x] Let’s pretend, happy end [4x]
 
19.  Sing for absolution (Muse)
 
Lips are turning blue A kiss that can’t renew
I only dream of you My beautiful
Tiptoe to your room A starlight in the gloom
I only dream of you And you never knew
Sing for absolution I will be singing And falling from your grace

There’s nowhere left to hide In no one to confide
The truth burns deep inside And will never die
Lips are turning blue

A kiss that can’t renew I only dream of you My beautiful
Sing for absolution I will be singing And falling from grace
Our wrongs Remain unrectified
And our souls Won’t be exhumed
 
20.  Centrefolds (Placebo)
 
Come on Balthazaa I refuse to let you die Come on falling star I refuse to let you die
Cos it’s wrong and i’ve been waiting far too long It’s wrong I’ve been waiting far too long
For you to be…be…be…be…be mine For you to be mine Be mine For you to be mine
And it’s wrong i’ve been waiting far too long It’s wrong
I’ve been waiting far too long For you to be…be…be…be…be

All the centrefolds that you can’t afford
Have long since waved their last goodbyes

All the centrefolds that you can’t afford
You’ve long sinced faded from their eyes
So be…be mine So be…be mine
