Wishful Thinking - Duncan Sheik

Listen to the waves, Everything communicates Will it ever be Anything more than wishful thinking? Oh no there you go Looked away and missed the show how much wasted time Will you survive? Feel the blades of grass How it brings you back it will always be Only as green as you can see Oh no there you go Looked away and missed the show how much wasted time Will you survive? Oh yeah fooled again, I don't know how and I don't know when Not much else to blame But wishful thinking Little breakdowns In coastal towns. They come suddenly Crashing over you. They come easily. I'm falling through the skies And frozen places Oh no there you go Looked away and missed the show how much wasted time Will you survive? Oh yeah fooled again, I don't know how and I don't know when Not much else to blame But wishful thinking And I try to realize That I needn't look any further the whole of the universe Is plain to see And I try not to

Heart-shaped Box - Nirvana

She eyes me like a Pisces when I am weak I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black Hey! wait! I've got a new complaint Forever in debt to your priceless advice Hey! wait! I've got a new complaint Forever in debt to your priceless advice Hey! wait! I've got a new complaint Forever in debt to your priceless advice Your advice Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet Cut myself on angel's hair and baby's breath Broken hymen of your highness I'm left black Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back Hey! wait! I've got a new complaint Forever in debt to your priceless advice Hey! wait! I've got a new complaint Forever in debt to your priceless advice Hey! wait! I've got a new complaint Forever in debt to your priceless advice Your advice She eyes me like a Pisces when I am weak I

The Rover - Led Zeppelin

I've been to London, seen seven wonders I know to trip is just to fall I used to rock it, sometimes I'd roll it I always knew what it was for There can be no denyin' that the wind 'll shake 'em down And the flat world's flyin', there's a new plague on the land If we could just join hands If we could just join hands If we could just join hands Traversed the planet when heaven sent me I saw the kings who rule them all Still by the firelight and purple moonlight I hear the rested rivers call And the wind is crying, from a love that won't grow cold My lover , she is lying, on the dark side of the globe If we could just join hands If we could just join hands If we could just join hands You got me rockin' when I ought to be a-rollin' Darlin', tell me, darlin', which way to go You keep me rockin', baby, then you keep me stolen Won't you tell me, darlin', which way to go... that's right Oh how

You're So Great - Blur

Sad drunk and poorly Sleep in really late Sad drunk and poorly Not feeling so great Wandering lost in a town full of frowns Sad drunk and poorly Dogs digging up the ground And I feel the light in the night and in the day And I feel the light When the sky's just mud and gray And I feel the light when you tell me it's OK Coz you're so great and I love you Tea, tea and coffee Helps to start the day Tea, tea and coffee Shaking all the way City's alive, a surprise so am I Tea, tea and coffee, get no sleep today

Mulder and Scully - Catatonia

I'd rather be liberated, I find myself captivated I'd rather stay bold and lonely, I dream I'm your one and only Stop doing what you Keep doing it to I'd rather be jumping ship, I find myself jumping straight in Forever be dozy and dim, I wake myself thinking of him Stop doing what you Keep doing it to Things are getting strange, I'm starting to worry This could be a case for Mulder and Scully Things are getting strange, now I can't sleep alone My bed is made for two and there's nothing I can do So tell me something I don't know If my head is full of you, is there nothing I can do? Must we all march in two by two by two? And as for some happy ending, I'd rather stay single and thin Stop doing what you Keep doing it to Things are getting strange, I'm starting to worry This could be a case for Mulder and Scully Things are getting strange now I can't sleep alone...here

Little Plastic Castle - Ani DiFranco

In a coffee shop in a city which is every coffee shop in every city on a day which is every day I picked up a magazine which is every magazine read a story, and then forgot it right away They say goldfish have no memory I guess their lives are much like mine and the little plastic castle is a surprise every time and it's hard to say if they're happy but they don't seem much to mind From the shape of your shaved head I recognized your silhouette as you walked out of the sun and sat down and the sight of your sleepy smile eclipsed all the other people as they paused to sneer at the two girls from out of town I said, look at you this morning you are, by far, the cutest but be careful getting coffee I think these people wanna shoot us or maybe there's some kinda local competition here to see who can be the rudest People talk about my image like I come in two dimensions like lipstick is a sign of my declining mind like what I happen to

Protection - Massive Attack

"Protection" [Tracy Thorn] This girl I know needs some shelter She don't believe anyone can help her She's doing so much harm, doing so much damage But you don't want to get involved You tell her she can manage And you can't change the way she feels But you could put your arms around her I know you want to live yourself But could you forgive yourself If you left her just the way You found her I stand in front of you I'll take the force of the blow Protection I stand in front of you I'll take the force of the blow Protection You're a boy and I'm a girl But you know you can lean on me And I don't have no fear I'll take on any man here Who says that's not the way it should be I stand in front of you I'll take the force of the blow Protection I stand in front of you I'll take the force of the blow Protection She's a girl and you're a boy Sometimes you look so small, look so small
