IRC-Galleria

There is a man holding a megaphone,
he must have been the voice of God
The bystanders claimed they saw angels
flying up and down the block
Well, they must have been attached to wires
I'd seen one laying in the lawn
with a broken arm, so I called 911

Well that's one less founded opinion
One more cause for a dispute
So the street filled, like a basin,
up with cameras and their crews
And they washed away the rumors
leaving just the concrete truth
It was a spectacle
No, I, I mean a miracle

So then I fell like that girl
from a balance beam
A gymnasium of eyes
all were holding on to me
I lifted one foot to cross the other
and I felt myself slipping
It was a small mistake
Sometimes that is all it takes

Now I'm staring at my wrist,
hoping that the time is right
When the planets will align
There will be no planets to align
Just the carcass of the sun
And little painted marbles spinning senseless
through an endless black sky

It was in a foreign hotel's bathtub
I baptized myself in change
And one by one I drowned all of the people I had been
I emerged to find the parallels were fewer
I was cleansed
I looked in the mirror
And someone new was there
But, I was as helpless as a chess piece
when I was lifted up by someone's hand
And delivered from the corner
my enemies had got me in
But in all of my salvation
I still felt imprisoned inside that holding cell
that is myself

So I wait for the day when I'll hear the key
as it turns in the lock
And the guard will say to me,
"Oh my patient prisoner
you waited for this day and finally,
you are free!
You are free!
You are freezing."
Now I'm staring at the sun,
waiting for it to explode
Because a day is gonna come,
don't know when but it will come
And we'll finally know the way out of here


And I'll throw away this wrinkled map
And my chart of stars and compass, cracked
And I'll climb that tree all wet with sap
to avoid the hungry beasts below
I'll cut out my lover's tongue and sing
of a graveyard gray and a garden green
And we won't have to worry no more
No we won't have to wonder again
About how this song or story ends
About how this song and story will end

Bright Eyes - From a Balance Beam

One
One perfect lie
Was it told
Too soon and
One
One perfect life
Turned to stone
Cold mercy

I
Kneel
Down by
Your grave
I
Kneel
Down torn
And guilty

Did
I let you down
Say goodbye
Too soon and
Did
You understand
My mistake
Forgive me

I
Kneel
Down by
Your side
I
Kneel
Down scared
And helpless

One perfect lie wrapped in kindness and tears
I wish I believed in your Heaven
One perfect life led by blind faith and trust
If God has a heart He will find you

Torn and guilty
Torn and guilty
Torn and guilty
I'm torn and guilty
I'm torn and guilty
Torn and guilty
Torn and guilty
I'm torn and guilty
I'm torn and guilty

Gary Numan - One Perfect Lie

Kerro, kerro mulle salaisuutesi
Josta vanhemmat ennen varoitti
Kauan sitten kadonnut siskoni

Joskus toivon,
Että peilit heijastaa sun kuvasi viereeni
Ja hiljaisuus vereni seisauttaa

Ole minulle sisko
Ole minulle sisko, jota ei koskaan ollut
Johdata turvallisesti kotiin

Ole minulle sisko
Ole minulle sisko, jota ei koskaan ollut
Johdata turvallisesti kotiin

Varjo - Ole minulle sisko

Dancing alone again
again the rain falling
only the scent of you remains
to dance with me

Nobody showed me how to return the love you give to me
mom never holds me dad loves a stranger more than me

I never wanted to ever bring you down
all that I need are some simple loving words

You touched my body once
it burns me still softly
never forgets never again will be
I cry

Out of my head and I don't know what I found
over and over I feel it break me down

On the sidewalk of the city
are my screams just a whisper
busy people going nowhere
see me soak in the rain
no compassion nothing matters
my resistance is waiting
like a flower in the basement
waiting for a lonely death

Out of my head and I don't know what I found
over and over I feel it break me down

On the sidewalk of the city
are my screams just a whisper
busy people going nowhere
see me soak in the rain
no compassion nothing matters
my resistance is waiting
like a flower in the basement
waiting for a lonely death

Akira Yamaoka - Your Rain

Give me back my broken night
my mirrored room, my secret life
it's lonely here,
there's no one left to torture
Give me absolute control
over every living soul
And lie beside me, baby,
that's an order!
Give me crack and anal sex
Take the only tree that's left
and stuff it up the hole
in your culture
Give me back the Berlin wall
give me Stalin and St Paul
I've seen the future, brother:
it is murder.

Things are going to slide, slide in all directions
Won't be nothing
Nothing you can measure anymore
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
has crossed the threshold
and it has overturned
the order of the soul
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant

You don't know me from the wind
you never will, you never did
I'm the little jew
who wrote the Bible
I've seen the nations rise and fall
I've heard their stories, heard them all
but love's the only engine of survival
Your servant here, he has been told
to say it clear, to say it cold:
It's over, it ain't going
any further
And now the wheels of heaven stop
you feel the devil's riding crop
Get ready for the future:
it is murder

Things are going to slide, slide in all directions
Won't be nothing
Nothing you can measure anymore
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
has crossed the threshold
and it has overturned
the order of the soul
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant

There'll be the breaking of the ancient
western code
Your private life will suddenly explode
There'll be phantoms
There'll be fires on the road
and the white man dancing
You'll see a woman
hanging upside down
her features covered by her fallen gown
and all the lousy little poets
coming round
trying to sound like Charlie Manson
and the white man dancing'

Give me back the Berlin wall
Give me Stalin and St Paul
Give me Christ
or give me Hiroshima
Destroy another fetus now
We don't like children anyhow
I've seen the future, baby:
it is murder

Things are going to slide, slide in all directions
Won't be nothing
Nothing you can measure anymore
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
has crossed the threshold
and it has overturned
the order of the soul
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant

Leonard Cohen - The Future

They just wanna buy things
They just wanna drive cars
They just want big tits
They just wanna be stars
They just wanna look young,
Look hard, have fun,
Get this, Get that,
Get big, Get fat
Boys want tits and girls want ass,
Bling, bling, bling if your daddy's got cash
You don't have to stand outside in line
You can just go and have a real cool time

Everyone here can just drown in their own shit
I don't wanna hear another word about it
And I'm supposed to live my life with these?
Parempi kännissä ku osa niiden koneen
Who are you to stand there and moralize me?
You're not in a position to tell me a thing
You have fouled your own nest and made a mockery off my dream
Parempi kännissä ku osa niiden koneen

Burn your Visa,
Smoke your cigarettes,
Bleach your teeth,
Have fun like violence
Talk about the movies,
Talk about trends,
Talk about stores and clothes and bars,
Who's hot? Who's not?
Do you need a bigger cock?
Buy these stocks? Make an easy buck.
Work more-buy more
We must have a lot
Do you have the membership discount card?
Consume and buy - buy and consume
Consume and buy - buy and consume
Consume and buy - buy and consume
Consume, consume, consume, consume!
Everyone here can just drown in their own shit…

So go on to the dance floor and shake your ass to the mirror ball

The Beatles - Helter Skelter

Well, you've always got schoolbooks
You've always got toys
You never go hungry like
Some of the boys
But something is not quite right
It's not what it seems
Soho's best dressed boy
He doesn't feel clean

Father - no father, but
Uncles you've had
They all turned out nasty
They all turned out bad
They were all pimps
And they were all hoods
So Soho's best dressed boy
Doesn't feel good

They sent you away
To a school for the Toffs
Where you learned to speak proper
And you learned to speak posh
Your mother she cried
Your mother felt sad
So Soho's best dressed boy
He's feeling bad

Took you a long time to find out the truth
Your mother a whore all through your youth

Your mother she died
A long time ago
The ways of the world
Well, now you do know
You stand by her gravestone
You say it out loud
She was a prostitute
And you feel proud

The Tiger Lillies - Soho Boy

It's four in the morning, the end of December
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
New York is cold, but I like where I'm living
There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening.

I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert
You're living for nothing now, I hope you're keeping some kind of record.

Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear
Did you ever go clear?

Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
You'd been to the station to meet every train
And you came home without Lili Marlene

And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
And when she came back she was nobody's wife.

Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
One more thin gypsy thief
Well I see Jane's awake --

She sends her regards.
And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
What can I possibly say?
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
I'm glad you stood in my way.

If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me
Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free.

Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good so I never tried.

And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear

Sincerely, L. Cohen

Leonard Cohen - Famous Blue Raincoat

And if I wake from Dreams
Shall I fall in Pastures
Will I Wake the Darkness
Shall we Torch the Earth?
And if I wake from Dreams
Shall we find the Emptiness
And break the Silence
That will stop our Hearts?
And if I wake from Dreams
Shall we cry Together
For their Howling echoes
And restart the Night?

And why did you say
That things shall fall
And fall and fall and fall
And fall apart?
And why did you say
That things shall fall
And fall and fall and fall
And fall apart?

And shall I wake from Dreams
For the Glory of Nothing
For the cracking of the Sun
For the crawling down of Lies?
And if We fall from Dreams
Shall we push them into Darkness
And stare into the Howling
And clamber into Night?

And if I fall from Dreams
All my Prayers are Silenced
To Love is to lose
And to lose is to Die...

And why did you say
That things shall fall
And fall and fall and fall
And fall apart?
And why did you say
That we shall fall
And fall and fall and fall
And fall apart?
And why did you say
That things shall fall
And fall and fall and fall
And fall apart?
And why did you say
That we shall fall
And fall and fall and fall
And fall apart?
And why did you say
That things shall fall?
