Falling Slowly - The Frames

I don't know you but I want you
All the more for that
And words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react

And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat
And point it home
We've still got time,
Raise your hopeful voice
You have a choice,

All I Want Is You - U2

You say you want
Diamonds on a ring of gold
You say you want
Your story to remain untold

But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

You say you'll give me
A highway with no-one on it
Treasure, just to look upon it
All the riches in

When You're Gone - The Cranberries

Hold on to love
That is what I do
Now that I've found you
And from above
Everything's stinking
They're not around you

And in the night I could be helpless
I could be lonely sleeping without you

And in the day, everything's complex
There's nothing simple, when I'm not around you

But I miss you when you're gone

Sickly Sweet - NewDad

You said I want you or something like that
You said you like me or something quite drab
It's all empty conversations
So we can't build a foundation
You said you love me, but you say that every time
You said you missed me, please forgive my crimes
Am I deluded? Could I really be that stupid?
'Cause I'm plagued by

The Morning After - The Prodigals

You dance like you're drunk, but you sing like you're sober
You pulled the last pint when the party was over
When you're alone, and you lie in your bed
The rain on the roof is the dance of the dead

The boys from the Bronx and Belturbet, Bundoran
And Brighton and Bray, they're all shouting and brawling
They're

Daddy I'm Fine - Sinead O'Connor

I was born in Dublin town
Where there was not too much going on down
For girls whose only hope
Was not to find a man who could piss in a pot
So early I heard my first guitar
And I knew I wanted to be a big star
And I told my poor worried father
Said I ain't

A Rainy Night In Soho - The Pogues

I've been loving you a long time
Down all the years, down all the days
And I've cried for all your troubles
Smiled at your funny little ways
We watched our friends grow up together
And we saw them as they fell
Some of them fell into Heaven
Some of them fell into Hell

I took shelter

Sick Boys - Social Distortion

Sick-boy, in his faded blue jeans
Sick-boy, black leather jacket scene
Sick-boy, he's always in trouble
With the law don't ya know...

Sick-boy, he carries a switchblade knife,
Sick-boy, likes to get into fights.
Sick-boy, he'll go drinkin'
With the boys all night long.

[Chorus:]
Sick boys-ohwayoh
Sick boys-nananana
Sick boys

Sick-boy, rides a big motorbike,
Sick-boy, combs his hair

Boys Better - The Dandy Warhols

Boys had better beware
You could seem to color your hair
Or on a wig, you already spent
All the dough to cover your rent
But not so cool man if you care
For all the other boys caught in your bleach job hair
And girls better beware
Boys, you better, you better

Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

Boys had

Lonely Boy - The Black Keys

Well I’m so above you
And it’s plain to see
But I came to love you anyway
So you pulled my heart out
And I don’t mind bleeding
Any old time you keep me waiting
Waiting, waiting

Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
I’m a

Big Boy On A Saturday Night - Kirsty MacColl

The last of England's spoiled brats
Grand order of the gutter rats
A big fish in a public house
You're never going to learn to shut your mouth
A silly pseudo lager lout
With nothing much to shout about
Spent hours looking in the mirror
Trying to perfect the perfect pout

Now take the spotlight
And

Coin-Operated Boy - The Dresden Dolls

Coin operated boy
Sitting on the shelf he is just a toy
But I turn him on and he comes to life
Automatic joy
That is why I want a coin operated boy

Made of plastic and elastic
He is rugged and long-lasting
Who could ever ever ask for more
Love without complications galore
Many shapes and weights to
