I Melt With You - Modern English

Moving forward using all my breath
Making love to you was never second best
I saw the world crashing all around your face
Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace

I'll stop the world and melt with you
You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
There's nothing you and I won't do

Perfect Day - Lou Reed

Just a perfect day
Drink sangria in the park
And then later, when it gets dark
We go home

Just a perfect day
Feed animals in the zoo
Then later a movie, too
And then home

Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on

Kiss Me Deadly - Generation X

The Greyhound's rocking out tonight
To maximum rockabilly
When two punks chose to risk the subway
For a tube to Picadilly
And the Zephyrs stir fast gangs for glory
Another dumb casualty
Having fun in South West six
When a hidden flick knife flicks
Kiss me, deadly tonight
Another battle was won and lost
Down The Bishops End last

Out Of Hand - The Mighty Lemon Drops
When I close my eyes, I see forever
In between the good and bad, I'll be there

Somewhere
Over my head
Something
I have not said

Think I've lost my grip
It's out of my hands
Slipped between my fingers
Out of my hands

Took so long to get it, and I know it
Everything I wanted,

Metropolis - The Church

There'll never be another quite like you
I'm so involved with everything you do
Don't say nothing good will ever come of this
Don't say the damage is worse than it is

Back in Metropolis, circuses and elephants
Where the oranges grew
And back in Metropolis nothing can ever topple us
When I'm standing with you

You stare down at some

Hang On - Teenage Fanclub

Been bought and I've been sold
and I've forgot what I've been told
and now I need someone
Of all the stars I've ever seen
you're the sun

Hang on, hang on
Hang on, hang on
I've not forgotten all the tricks
that you've done
I just need some fun

I'm going underground to reassess
just what I've found
and

Cardinal Song - The National

Never look her in the eyes
Never tell the truth
If she knows you're paper
You know she'll have to burn you

Never tell the one you want that you do
Save it for the deathbed
When you know you kept her wanting you

And do everything she'd never do

Fall asleep with stranger's wives
The wild wives of unknown

Sour Times - Portishead

To pretend no one can find
The fallacies of morning rose
Forbidden fruit, hidden eyes
Courtesies that I despise in me
Take a ride, take a shot now

'Cause nobody loves me
It's true
Not like you do

Covered by the blind belief
That fantasies of sinful screens
Bear the facts, assume the dye
End the vows, no need to lie,

Fly - Nick Drake

Please give me a second grace,
Please give me a second face,
I've fallen far down, the first time around,
Now I just sit on the ground in your way

Now, if it's time for recompense for what's done,
Come, come sit down on the fence in the sun,
And the clouds will roll by and we'll never deny,
It's really

Smokers Outside The Hospital Doors - Editors

Pull the blindfold down
So your eyes can't see
Now run as fast as you can
Through this field of trees

Say goodbye to everyone
You have ever known
You are not gonna see them
Ever again

I can't shake this feeling I've got
My dirty hands say I've been in the wars
The saddest thing that I'd

Unhappy Anniversary - Loudon Wainwright III

Unhappy anniversary
It's one year since we split
I walk and talk and get around
Lie down, stand up and sit
I eat and drink and smoke and sleep and
Live a little bit
Unhappy anniversary
It's one year since we split

Unhappy anniversary
It's ten years since we met
There is no need to remind you
No way

Lisztomania - Phoenix

So sentimental
Not sentimental no!
Romantic, not disgusting yet
Darling, I’m down and lonely
When with the fortunate only
I’ve been looking for something else

Do let, do let, do let, jugulate, do let, do
Let’s go slowly, discouraged,
Distant from other interests
On your favorite weekend ending
This love’s for gentlemen only
That’s with the fortunate only
No, I gotta be
