The Hooters - "I'm Alive"

I've got a condition for which there is no cure
I'm in a position that everyone prays for
Got a sound in my head that could wake up the dead
Like The Who singing Summertime Blues
Got no thorn in my side, got no secrets to hide
I'm completely and utterly amused

CHORUS:
I'm alive, I'm alive
It's a beautiful day and I'm happy to say
I'm alive, I'm alive
And wherever I go it's amazing to know
I'm alive

From running fast as fast as I could getting nowhere
I'm standing incredibly steadily somewhere
Got a hand on a jug and a girl that I love
And it's driving me out of my mind
I'm a bird on the wing with the world on a string
And I'm feeling incredibly fine

CHORUS

I'm looking older now than when I was a kid
But feeling younger now than I ever did
And I've got no situations playing tricks upon my mind
I'm feeling Christmas in the middle of July

In the morning, in the night
Though I walk though the valley of the shadows
You are the light of my life
And the song in my soul
And the beat of my heart
And the rock in my roll

CHORUS

I'm alive!  [Repeated]

KT Tunstall - If Only Lyrics

Walking around in the days
Out for days now
Talking it up as amazing,
A maze that I’m in.
Looking at the stars for the answers
But all that I found was silence and dirty ground

If only you could see me now
If only you could hear me out
If only it was only me now.

Listen just a little bit harder
The hearts tell the truth
Is it just a pistol on the edge
To keep you moving
You’re looking like you’re looking for something
And now, you’re surrounded by silence, whoa.

If only you could see me now
If only you could hear me out
If only it was only me now.

Silence, silence, silence.
You’re surrounded by
Silence, silence, silence.
You’re surrounded by
Silence, silence, silence.
You’re surrounded by
Silence, silence, silence.

If only you could see me now
If only you could hear me out
If only it was only me now.

If only you could see me now
If only you could hear me out
If only it was only me now.
If only it was only me now.
If only it was only me now.

Pavement - "Major Leagues"

Lip on, on watery clay
Relationships, hey, hey, hey
You kiss like a rock
But you know I need it anyway
Angle for the ringside seats
When they fall
Don't blame me

Bring on the Major Leagues   [x4]

How you gonna teach him to walk
When he can't even finish the
He can't even finish the songs of the law
Are they civilized or satanist?
Cater to my walls and see if they fall
Don't leave me

Bring on the Major Leagues   [x4]

They wear you down sometimes
Kids like wine
Magic Christians chew the rind
Cause bad girls are always bad girls
Let's let 'em in
Darling we're up against it
And there is no time for
Tie-ins, tie-ins, tie-ins, go!

Bring on the Major Leagues   [x4]

They'll wear you down sometimes
Kiss the wine
Magic Christians chew the rind
Cause bad girls are always bad girls
Let 'em in

Steeleye Span - "Bachelor's Hall"

I rode seven horses all to death
I rode them till they had no breath
I wore five saddles to the trees
None of those girls will marry me

Those women will fret, those women will fuss
They spend five hours before their glass
The devil take all, I'll have no money at all
Always stay single, keep Bachelor's Hall
Stay, stay close to my door

The women round here, they live by the door
They hear but a word, and repeat it twice o'er
Then they add to it as much as they can
Always stay single a bachelor man

Bachelor's Hall is always the best
If you're sick, drunk, or sober it's always a rest
No woman to scold you, no children to bawl
Always stay single, keep Bachelor's Hall
Stay stay close to my door

Bachelor's Hall, Bachelor's Hall
I'll always stay single, keep Bachelor's Hall
Bachelor's Hall, Bachelor's Hall
I'll always stay single, keep Bachelor's Hall

Bachelor's Hall   [repeated]

Steely Dan - Godwhacker

n the beginning
We could hang with the dude
But it's been too much of nothing
Of that stank attitude
Now they curse your name
And there's a bounty on your face
It's your own fault daddy
Godwhacker's on the case

We track your almighty ass thru seven heaven worlds
Me, Slinky Redfoot
And our trusty Angel-girls
And when the stars bleed out
That be the fever of the chase
You better get gone poppie
Godwhacker's on the case

Be very very quiet
Clock everything you see
Little things might matter later
At the start of the end of history

Climb up the glacier
Across bridges of light
We sniff you, Big Tiger
In the forest of the night
'Cause there's no escape
From the Rajahs of Erase
Better run run run
Godwhacker's on the case

Be very, very quiet
Clock everything you see
Little things might matter later
At the start of the end of history

Yes we are the Godwhackers
Who rip and chop and slice
For crimes beyond imagining
It's time to pay the price
You better step back son
Give the man some whacking space
You know this might get messy
GodWhacker's on the case

My Little Corner of The World by Yo La Tengo

Come along with me to my little corner of the world
Dream a little dream in my little corner of the world
You'll soon forget that there's any other place
Tonight, my love, we'll share a sweet embrace

And if you care to stay in my little corner of the world
We could hide away in my little corner of the world
I always knew that I'd find someone like you
So welcome to my little corner of the world

And if you care to stay in our little corner of the world
We could hide away in our little corner of the world
We always knew that we'd find someone like you
So welcome to our little corner of the world

possum kingdom by the toadies

Make up your mind
Decide to walk with me
Around the lake tonight
Around the lake tonight
By my side
By my side
I'm not gonna lie
I'll not be a gentleman
Behind the boathouse
I'll show you my dark secret

I'm not gonna lie
I want you for mine
My blushing bride
My lover, be my lover, yeah...

Don't be afraid
I didn't mean to scare you
So help me, Jesus

I can promise you
You'll stay as beautiful
With dark hair
And soft skin...forever
Forever

Make up your mind
Make up your mind
And I'll promise you
I will treat you well
My sweet angel
So help me, Jesus

(hey, hey, hey)

Give it up to me
Give it up to me
Do you wanna be
My angel?
So help me!

Be my angel

Be my angel

Do you wanna die?

I promise you
I will treat you well
My sweet angel
So help me, Jesus

Jesus

Jesus

Jesus...

machines of loving grace - butterfly wings

You can't place faith in material things
material things will fail you
a hurricane triggered by a butterfly's wings
your conspirators betray you

Don't place faith in human beings
human beings are unreliable things
don't place faith in human beings
human beings or butterfly's wings

You can't place faith in a new regime
that fascist faith will kill you
a hurricane triggered by a butterfly's wings
your conspirators betray you

don't place faith in human beings
human beings are unreliable things
don't place faith in human beings
human beings or butterfly wings

there's something burning
deep inside I know
there's something
inside this hole

(tonight when i chase the dragon -
By their fruits you shall know them)

Don't place faith
Don't place faith
When I decide to live in the mind
the heart dies
mother superior in the sky
the heart dies
the heart dies

Don't place faith in human beings
human beings are unreliable things
don't place faith in human beings
human beings or butterfly wings

1979 by Smashing Pumpkins

Shakedown 1979, cool kids never have the time
On a live wire right up off the street
You and I should meet
Junebug skipping like a stone
With the headlights pointed at the dawn
We were sure wed never see an end to it all
And I dont even care to shake these zipper blues
And we dont know
Just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
Double cross the vacant and the bored
Theyre not sure just what we have in the store
Morphine city slippin dues down to see
That we dont even care as restless as we are
We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
And poured cement, lamented and assured
To the lights and towns below
Faster than the speed of sound
Faster than we thought wed go, beneath the sound of hope
Justine never knew the rules,
Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
No apologies ever need be made, I know you better than you fake it
To see that we dont care to shake these zipper blues
And we dont know just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
The street heats the urgency of sound
As you can see theres no one around

Rick James Style
Lemonheads

Don’t wanna get stoned
Don’t wanna get stoned
But I don’t wanna not get stoned
I don’t wanna not get stoned

Don’t wanna get high
I don’t wanna get high
But I don’t wanna not get high
And I don’t wanna not get stoned

Wanna knock things down
I’m not gonna knock things down
But I don’t wanna not get stoned
So I’m not gonna not knock things down

Don’t wanna think twice
I don’t have to think twice
But I’m not gonna get high
I I’m not gonna get stoned

Style

Not gonna come round
I don’t wanna come down
I just want a killer line
And I’ll figure it out myself

Style

The Smiths - "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now"

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable now

In my life
Why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die?

Two lovers entwined pass me by
And heaven knows I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable now

In my life
Oh, why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die?

What she asked of me at the end of the day
Caligula would have blushed
"You've been in the house too long" she said
And I (naturally) fled

In my life
Why do I smile
At people who I'd much rather kick in the eye?

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I'm miserable now
"You've been in the house too long" she said
And I, naturally, fled

In my life
Why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die?

bad religion - atomic garden

Everybody wants do dance in a playpen,
But nobody wants to play in my garden.
I see the hippies on an angry line,
Guess they dont get my meaning,
Im enchanted by the birds in my blossoms,
Im enamored by young lovers on the weekend,
I like the forth of july,
When bombs start flashing,

And I wish I had a shiny red top,
A bugle with a big brass bell would cheer me up,
Or maybe something bigger that could really go pop!
So I could make the gardening stop

Come out to play, come out to play,
And well pretend its christmas day
In my atomic garden

All my scientists are working on a deadline,
So my psychologist is working day and nighttime,
They say they know whats best for me,
But they dont know what theyre doing,
And Im glad Im not gorbachev,
cause Id wiggle all night,
Like jelly in a pot,
At least hes got a garden with a fertile plot,
And a party that will never stop,

I hope theres nothing wrong out there,
Im watching from my room inside my room

Come out to play
Come out to play
And we'll pretend its Christmas day
In my atomic

GARDEN

tom petty & the heartbreakers - don't come around here no more

Don't come around here no more
Don't come around here no more
Whatever you're looking for
Hey, don't come around here no more

I've given up, (STOP). I've given up (STOP).
I've given up, (STOP). on waiting any longer
I've given up, on this love getting stronger

I don't feel you anymore
You darken my door
Whatever you're looking for


Hey! don't come around here no more

I've given up, (STOP). I've given up, (STOP).
I've given up, (STOP). you tangle my emotions
I've given up, honey please admit it's over

(Repeat Chorus)

Stop walking down my street
Who do you expect to meet?
Whatever you're looking for
Hey, don't come around here no more
