The rain, it started tapping
on the window near my bed.
There was a loophole in my dreaming,
so I got out of it.
And to my surprise
my eyes were wide and already open.
Just my nightstand and my dresser
where those nightmares had just been.

So I dressed myself and left them,
out into the gray streets.
But everything seemed different
and completely new to me.
The sky, the trees, houses, buildings,
even my own body.
And each person I encountered,
I couldn't wait to meet.

And I came upon a doctor
who appeared in quite poor health.
I said "there is nothing that I can do for you
that you can't do for yourself."
He said "Oh yes you can. Just hold my hand.
I think that would help." So I sat with him a while
and then I asked him how he felt.
He said, "I think I'm cured. In fact, I'm sure.
Thank you stranger, for your therapeutic smile."

So that is how I learned the lesson
that everyone is alone.
And your eyes must do some raining
if you are ever going to grow.
But when crying don't help
and you can't compose yourself,
it's best to compose a poem,
an honest verse of longing or a simple song of hope.
And that's why I'm singing,
"Baby, don't worry, cause now I got you back.
And every time you feel like crying,
I'm gonna try and make you laugh.
And if I can't, if it just hurts too bad,
then we will wait for it to pass,
and I will keep you company
through those days so long and black.
And we'll just keep working on the problem
we know we'll never solve,
of Love's uneven remainder, our lives are fractions of a whole."

But if the world could remain
within a frame like a painting on a wall.
Then I think we would see the beauty then.
We would stand staring in awe
at our still lives posed
like a bowl of oranges,
like a story told
by the fault lines and the soil.

Bright Eyes - Bowl of Oranges

I show the scars
Of every fear and doubt
I hurt myself
To let the darkness out
Out...

The days go by
And nothing brings me joy
The glow was strong
When I was a boy
But it's gone

And the glow
It goes
So slow
It goes

Cracks appear
And passion slips away
Colors fade
And turn to shades of grey
Fade away

And the glow...
It goes
So slow
It goes

If you knew the man I used to be
Please hold me under the sea
Or scratch my arms till they bleed
Save me
Will you help me to feel the glow?

Blackfield - The Glow

It's a perfect day for letting go
for setting fire to bridges
boats
and other dreary worlds you know
let's get happy!
It's a perfect day for making out
to wake up with a smile without a doubt
to burst grin giggle bliss skip jump and sing and shout
let's get happy!
But it's much to late you say
for doing this now
we should have done it then
well it just goes to show
how wrong you can be
and how you really should know
that it's never too late
to get up and go

It's a perfect day for kiss and swell
for rip-zipping button-popping kiss and well...
there's loads of other stuff can make you yell
let's get happy!
It's a perfect day for doing the unstuck
for dancing like you can't hear the beat
and you don't give a further thought
to things like feet
let's get happy!

But it's much too late you say
for doing this now
we should have done it then
well it just goes to show
how wrong you can be
and how you really should know
that it's never too late
to get up and go

Kick out the gloom
kick out the blues
tear out the pages with all the bad news
pull down the mirrors and pull down the walls
tear up the stairs and tear up the floors
Oh just burn down the house!
Burn down the street!
Turn everything red and the beat is complete
with the sound of your world
going up in fire
it's a perfect day to throw back your head
and kiss it all goodbye

It's a perfect day for getting wild
forgetting all your worries
life
and everything that makes you cry
let's get happy!
It's a perfect day for dreams come true
for thinking big
and doing anything you want to do
let's get happy!

But it's much too late you say
for doing this now
we should have done it then
well it just goes to show
how wrong you can be
and how you really should know
that it's never too late
to get up and go

Kick out the gloom
kick out the blues
tear out the pages with all the bad news
pull down the mirrors and pull down the walls
tear up the stairs and tear up the floors
Oh just burn down the house!
Burn down the street!
Turn everything red and the dream is complete
with the sound of your world
going up in fire
it's a perfect day to throw back your head
and kiss it all goodbye

The Cure - Doing the unstuck

The sea's evaporating
Though it comes as no surprise
These clouds we're seeing
They're explosions in the sky
It seems it's written
But we can't read between the line

Hush
It's okay
Dry your eye
Dry your eye
Soulmate dry your eye
Dry your eye
Soulmate dry your eye
Cause soulmates never die

This one world vision
Turns us in to compromise
What good's religion
When it's each other we despise
Damn the government
Damn their killing
Damn their lies

Hush
It's okay
Dry your eyes
Dry your eyes
Soulmate dry your eyes
Dry your eyes
Soulmate dry your eyes
Cause soulmates never die

Soulmates never die
Never die
Soulmates never die
Never die...
Soulmates never die
Soulmates never die
Soulmates never die
Soulmates never die

Placebo - Sleeping with ghosts

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
