Florence + The Machine - Heavy in your arms

I was a heavy heart to carry
My beloved was weighed down
My arms around his neck
My fingers laced to crown.

I was a heavy heart to carry
My feet dragged across ground
And he took me to the river
Where he slowly let me drown

My love has concrete feet
My love’s an iron ball
Wrapped around your ankles
Over the waterfall

I’m so heavy, heavy
Heavy in your arms
I’m so heavy, heavy
Heavy in your arms

And is it worth the wait
All this killing time?
Are you strong enough to stand
Protecting both your heart and mine?

Who is the betrayer?
Who’s the killer in the crowd?
The one who creeps in corridors
And doesn’t make a sound

My love has concrete feet
My love’s an iron ball
Wrapped around your ankles
Over the waterfall

My love has concrete feet
My love’s an iron ball
Wrapped around your ankles
Over the waterfall

I’m so heavy, heavy
Heavy in your arms
I’m so heavy, heavy
So heavy in your arms

This will be my last confession
I love you never felt like any blessing
(Ohhhh)
Whispering like it’s a secret
Only to condemn the one who hears it
With a heavy heart

Heavy heavy i’m so heavy in your arms
(i’m so) Heavy heavy i’m so heavy in your arms
(i’m so) Heavy heavy i’m so heavy in your arms
(i’m so) Heavy heavy i’m so heavy in your arms

I was a heavy heart to carry
my beloved was weighed down
My arms around his neck
My fingers laced to crown

I was a heavy heart to carry
But he never let me down
When he had me in his arms
My feet never touched the ground

I’m so heavy, heavy in your arms.

Heavy, i’m so heavy in your arms.

Pretty Buildings - People in Planes

I will dive into my sleep
And I dream of the pretty buildings.
Wonder what she’s doing now
And whether she’s still living.

Telegraph your points of view
And Sheppard me from silence.
Sitting in this fit of rage,
I fall down from my pedestal.

I don’t wanna feel this low again.
I ain’t gonna steal your flame again.
I don’t wanna feel…

Cause you know it hurts like hell!
So come out of the closet
Let’s talk about it
Cause you know it hurts like hell!

Flowers bloom in harmony
And mixtapes from the 60’s.
Fueled by the LSD,
He looks into his future

I don’t wanna feel this low again.
I ain’t gonna steal your flame again.
I don’t wanna feel…

Cause you know it hurts like hell!
So come out of the closet
Let’s talk about it
Cause you know it hurts like hell!

Honor came and I was dead
Before I left for school.
We paint the smiles onto our heads
And keep away from the animals.

And you know it hurts like hell
So when you reach the top
Just throw yourself off
And you know it hurts like hell
And that’s you in a nutshell (x2)

And you know it hurts like hell!
So come out of the closet
Let’s talk about it
And you know it hurts like hell!
And that’s you in a nutshell!
That’s you in a nutshell

Many of Horror - Biffy Clyro

You say ”I love you boy”
I know you lie
I trust you all the same
I don’t know why

‘Cause when my back is turned
My bruises shine
Our broken fairytale
So hard to hide

I still believe it’s you and me ‘til the end of time

When we collide we come together
If we don’t we’ll always be apart
I’ll take a bruise I know your worth it
When you hit me hit me hard

Sitting in a wishing hole
Hoping it stays dry
Feet cast in solid stone
I’ve got Gilligan’s eyes

I still believe it’s you and me ‘til the end of time

When we collide we come together
If we don’t we’ll always be apart
I’ll take a bruise I know your worth it
When you hit me hit me hard

You said love was letting us go against what
Our future is for…

Many of horror
Our future’s for many of horror

I still believe it’s you and me ‘til the end of time

When we collide we come together
If we don’t we’ll always be apart
I’ll take a bruise I know your worth it
When you hit me hit me hard

All the Right Moves - One Republic

All the right friends in all the right places
So yeah, we’re going down
They’ve got
All the right moves and all the right faces
So yeah, we’re going down

Let’s paint the picture
Of the perfect place
They’ve got it better then when anyone’s told ya
They’ll be the King of Hearts, and you’re the Queen of Spades
Then we’ll fight for you like we were your soldiers

I know we’ve got it good
But they’ve got it made
And the grass is getting greener each day
I know things are looking up, but soon they’ll take us down
Before anybody’s knowing our name

Everybody knows, everybody knows where we’re going
Yeah, we’re going down
They say
Everybody knows, everybody knows where we’re going
Yeah, we’re going down

Do you think I’m special?
Do you think I’m nice?
Am I bright enough to shine in your spaces?
Between the noise you hear, and the sounds you like
Are we just sinking the ocean of faces?
It can’t be possible… the rain can fall
Only when it’s over our heads.
The sun is shining everyday, but it’s far away.
Over the world that’s dead.

They’ve got, they’ve got…

All the right friends in all the right places
So yeah, we’re going down
They’ve got
All the right moves and all the right faces
So yeah, we’re going down
[Repeat]

They say
Everybody knows, everybody knows where we’re going
Yeah, we’re going down
They say
Everybody knows, everybody knows where we’re going
Yeah, we’re going down

It don’t matter what you see
I know I could never be
Someone that’ll look like you.
It don’t matter what you say
I know I could never fake
Someone that could sound like you.

All the right friends in all the right places
So yeah, we’re going down
They’ve got
All the right moves and all the right faces
So yeah, we’re going down
[Repeat]

They say
Everybody knows, everybody knows where we’re going
Yeah, we’re going down
They say
Everybody knows, everybody knows where we’re going

Don’t forget to breathe - Alexi Murdoch

In the quiet of the shadow
In the corner of a room
Darkness moves upon you
Like a cloud across the moon

You’re a-wearing all the silence
Of a constant that will turn
Like the windmill left deserted
Or the sun forever burn

So don’t forget to breathe
Don’t forget to breathe
Your whole life is here
No eleventh hour reprieve
So don’t forget to breathe

Keep your head above water
But don’t forget to breathe

And all the suffering that you’ve witnessed
And the hand prints on the wall
They remind you how it’s endless
How endlessly you fall

And the answer that you’re seeking
For the question that you found
Drives you further to confusion
As you lose your sense of ground

So don’t forget to breathe
Don’t forget to breathe
Your whole life is here
No eleventh hour reprieve
So don’t forget to breathe

Keep your head above water
But don’t forget to breathe

Breathe….

Don’t forget to breathe
Don’t forget to breathe
You know you are here
But you find you want to leave
So don’t forget to… breathe

Just breathe
Just breathe
Just breathe…
Just breathe…
Just breathe…

Everything I Build - The Stills

The tide is high
I’ve never been so low
You got room to grow

You can never look up
You can’t ever look down
You get kicked around

But I built it with sand
And I built it with rock
I built it with all of the
Things that I’m not
And I watch from the hill
As it burns to the ground
I can still see the smoke
From my train out of town

Everything I build is breaking down
Everything I build is breaking down

I close my eyes
Scared of what I saw
Are you mad at all?
Been an open book
Been a slamming door
Apple of the trojan war

(chorus)

Everything I build is breaking down
Everything I build is breaking down

Drink a little bit
Dance a little bit
Take a chance
I lose it all
I have no remorse no regrets
When I’m hanging from
This seventeenth floor

The tide is high
Never been so low
You got room to grow

Everything I build is breaking down
Everything I build is breaking down

Fire on the Mountain - Rob Thomas

Fire on the mountain
Through the freeze
Save yourself
There’s evil
In the garden
But you don’t see it
I can tell

[Chorus]
How do you sleep while the city’s burning
Where do you go when you can’t go home
How do you drink when there’s blood in the water
Where do you turn when the world moves on
When the world moves on, on

Fire on the mountain
You can feel it
Against your skin
You’re standing
By the river
Let the river
Take you in

How do you sleep while the city’s burning
Where do you go when you can’t go home
How do you drink when there’s blood in the water
Where do you turn when the world moves on
When the world moves on
When the world moves on, on
Yeah

[x2]
Hell, I see smoke out on the horizon
Mama, get your baby, take her down to the water
I view the wind like a promise broken
I see the future but it’s getting farther

How do you sleep while the city’s burning
Where do you go when you can’t go home
How do you drink when there’s blood in the water
Where do you turn when the world moves on
When the world moves on, hey
When the world moves on, [x3]
Yeah, oh Yeah, oh yeah world moves on
That world moves on, yeah

Give Me the Meltdown - Rob Thomas

Feelin’ worn down like a piece of glass
Doesn’t take too much to get yourself to feed your monkey
Tell some white lies
Make and swallow them
You don’t see just how you got into this situation

(Refrain)
Late at night, late at night
You weep for something better than the secrets you keep me down
Just lay down, here, close to me
And tell me what you want from me

(Chorus)
And I said
Hey now, give me the meltdown
Take it out on me this time around
Oh no, it ain’t over now
I can feel the world spin around, around, around
Hey now, give me the meltdown
Take it out on me, don’t let me down
Oh no, it ain’t over now
I can feel the world spin around, around, around

Wide awake now and your monkey’s dead
You so perfect that you never really need nobody
Put your hands down
You’re among your friends
You just take and take and take and take and take and take and

(Refrain)
Late at night, late at night
You weep but you’re no better than the secrets you keep stay down
Just lay down, here, close to me
Pretend you’ll never leave me

(Chorus)
And I said
Hey now, give me the meltdown
Take it out on me this time around
Oh no, it ain’t over now
I can feel the world spin around, around, around
Hey now, give me the meltdown
Take it out on me, don’t let me down
Oh no, it ain’t over now
I can feel the world spin around, around, around

(Chorus)
Tell me what you want child
Give me the meltdown
Take it out on me this time around
Oh no, it ain’t over now
I can feel the world spin around, around, around
Hey now, give me the meltdown
Take it out on me, don’t let me down
Oh no, it ain’t over now
I can feel the world spin around, around, around

If there’s a rocket tie me to it - Snow Patrol

Two weeks late like a surplus reprieve
I found a hair the length of yours on my sleeve
I wound it round and round my finger so tight
It turned to purple and a pulse formed inside

And I knew the beat since it matched your own beat
I still remember it from our chest to chest and feet to feet
The easy silence then was a sweet relief to this hush
Of ovens, aeroplanes and distant car horns

A fire a fire, you can only take what you can carry
A pulse your pulse, it’s the only thing I can remember
I break you don’t, I was always set to self destruct though
The fire the fire, it cracks and barks like primal music

I said I knew the beat ‘cause it matched your own beat
It’s become my engine my own source of heat
The sea between us only amplifies the sound waves
Every hum and echo and crash paints my cave.

Breakdown - Seether

The sun is gone and the flowers rot
Words are spaces between us
And I should’ve been drown in the rivers I’ve found of token lost
And I should’ve been down when you made me insecure
So break me down if it makes you feel right
And hate me now if it keeps you alright
You can break me down if it takes all your might
‘cause I’m so much more than meets the eye

And I’m the one you can never trust
‘cause wounds are ways to reveal us
And yeah I could have tried and devoted my life to both of us
But what a waste of my time when the world we have is yours

So break me down if it makes you feel right
And hate me now if it keeps you alright
You can break me down if it takes all your might
‘cause I’m so much more than all your lies

Hate me, break me down
So break me down
So break me down
So break me down if it makes you feel right
And hate me now if it keeps you alright
You can break me down if it takes all your might
‘cause I’m so much more than meets the eye

Sway - The Kooks

Say whatever you have to say, I’ll stand by you.
Do whatever you have to do, to get it out and not become a reactionary
To hurt the ones you love you know you never meant to but you do
oh yeah you do

Be whoever you have to be, I won’t judge you
Sing whatever you have to sing to get it out and not become a recluse about your house, come out
I know you never meant to but you do
oh but you do

Still I need your sway, cause you always pay for it
And I, and I need your soul cause you’re always soulful
And I and I need your heart, cause you’re always in the right places

And take whatever you have to take, you know I love ya
come however you have to come, and get it out and get it out

Take it out on me, take it out on me
I’ll give it you all, I give it you all,i give it
I give you all I give it you all, yes I will give it you all

Cause I need your sway, cause you always pay for it
And I, and I need your soul cause you’re always soulful
And I and I need your heart, cause you’re always in the right places

Oh yes I will, I will give it you all

Still I need your sway, because you always pay for it
And I, and I need your soul cause you’re always soulful
And I and I need that heart, cause you’re always in the right places.

Mountains - Biffy Clyro

I took a bite out of a mountain range, thought my teeth would break the mountain down.
Lets go, I want to go all the way to the horizon.

I took a drink out of the ocean and I’m treading water there before I drown.
Lets dive, I want to dive to the bottom of the ocean.
I took a ride, I took a ride, I wouldn’t go there without you.
Lets take a ride, we’ll take a ride. I wouldn’t leave here without you.

I am a mountain, I am the sea, you can’t take that away from me.
I am a mountain, I am the sea, you can’t take that away from me.

‘Cause you tear us apart, with all the things you don’t like.
You can’t understand that I won’t leave ‘til we’re finished here, and then you’ll find out where it all went wrong.

I wrote a note to the jungle and it wrote me back that I was never crowned king of the jungle, so there’s and end to my horizon.
I took a ride, I took a ride. I wouldn’t go there without you.
Lets take a ride, we’ll take a ride. I wouldn’t leave here without you.

I am a mountain, I am the sea, you can’t take that away from me.
I am a mountain, I am the sea.

‘Cause you tear us apart, with all the things you don’t like.
You can’t understand that I won’t leave ‘til we’re finished here, and then you’ll find out where it all went wrong.

Nothing lasts forever, except you and me. (You are my mountain, you are my sea)
Love will last forever, between you and me.(You are my mountain, you are my sea)

I am a mountain, I am the sea, you can’t take that away from me.
I am a mountain, I am the sea.
I am a mountain, I am the sea

Round Here - Counting Crows

Step out the front door like a ghost
Into the fog where no one notices
The contrast of white on white.
And in between the moon and you
The angels get a better view
Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right.

I walk in the air between the rain
Through myself and back again
Where? I don’t know

Maria says she’s dying
Through the door I hear her crying
Why? I don’t know

Round here we always stand up straight
Round here something radiates

Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand
She said she’d like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis
And she walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land
Just like she’s walking on a wire in the circus
She parks her car outside of my house
Takes her clothes off
Says she’s close to understanding Jesus
She knows she’s more than just a little misunderstood
She has trouble acting normal when she’s nervous

Round here we’re carving out our names
Round here we all look the same
Round here we talk just like lions
But we sacrifice like lambs
Round here she’s slipping through my hands

Sleeping children better run like the wind
out of the lightning dream
Mama’s little baby better get herself in
out of the lightning

She says “it’s only in my head”
She says “Shhh I know it’s only in my head”

But the girl on the car in the parking lot
Says “Man you should try to take a shot
Can’t you see my walls are crumbling?”
Then she looks up at the building
Says she’s thinking of jumping
She says she’s tired of life
She must be tired of something

Round here she’s always on my mind
Round here hey man got lots of time
Round here we’re never sent to bed early
and nobody makes us wait
Round here we stay up very, very, very, very late

I can’t see nothing.. nothing round here
Will you catch if I’m falling
Will you catch me if I’m falling
Will you catch me cause I’m falling down on you

I said I’m under the gun around here
I’m innocent I’m under the gun around here
And I can’t see nothing
Nothing round here

Tired - Matchbox Twenty

You’ve been talking for an hour,
and I swear to God that I can’t hear a word you say
So would you come to me, come to me
I get caught up and the waves of conversation they wash over me
And they cover me, they cover me

Should I just pack my things and leave
Would I be a bigger man if I built a wall around your heart
and dared you to come in
I could lie to you and say I didn’t mean it
But hurts a funny thing and it makes you stronger

All is nothing in moderation
It’s a dirty feeling and it makes you stronger
Well I believe I’m just plain tired

There’s a funny way your lip shakes when I know that you’ve been lying,
and it touches me
It comforts me, it comforts me
I guess I should be satisfied, did you say you love me half the time
Well let’s settle there, we can build from there, build from there

Would you be happier if I was only half the man I am
You could shadow me and dare me to come in
I could lie to you and say I didn’t mean it
But it really doesn’t matter when you stop to think about it

The end is coming she don’t even feel it
It’s a strange sensation, I’m almost happy
Well I believe I’m just plain tired, I’m tired (oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Should I just pack my things and leave
Would I be a bigger man if I built a wall around your heart
and dared you to come in
I can lie to you, say I didn’t mean it
But hurts a funny thing, hurts a funny thing

The end is coming she don’t even feel it
It’s a strange sensation, I’m almost happy
Well I believe I’m just plain tired, tired

Well all is nothing in moderation
Dirty feeling, strange sensation
I believe, I believe
Believe I’m tired

I Remember - Damien Rice

 remember it well
The first time that I saw
Your head around the door
‘Cause mine stopped working

I remember it well
There was wet in your hair
I was stood in the stairs
And time stopped moving

I want you here tonight
I want you here
‘Cause I can’t believe what I found
I want you here tonight
I want you here
Nothing is taking me down, down, down…

I remember it well
Taxied out of a storm
To watch you perform
And my ships were sailing

I remember it well
I was stood in your line
And your mouth, your mouth, your mouth…

I want you here tonight
I want you here
‘Cause I can’t believe what I found
I want you here tonight
I want you here
Nothing is taking me down, down, down…

Except you my love. Except you my love…

Come all ye lost
Dive into moss
I hope that my sanity covers the cost
To remove the stain of my love
Paper maché

Come all ye reborn
Blow off my horn
I’m driving real hard
This is love, this is porn
God will forgive me
But I, I whip myself with scorn, scorn

I wanna hear what you have to say about me
Hear if you’re gonna live without me
I wanna hear what you want
I remember december
And I wanna hear what you have to say about me
Hear if you’re gonna live without me
I wanna hear what you want
What the hell do you want?

Rock Star - Nickelback

I’m through with standin’ in line
To clubs I’ll never get in
It’s like the bottom of the ninth
And I’m never gonna win
This life hasn’t turned out
Quite the way I want it to be
(Tell me what you want)

I want a brand new house
On an episode of Cribs
And a bathroom I can play baseball in
And a king size tub big enough
For ten plus me
(Yeah, so tell what you need)

I’ll need a.. a credit card that’s got no limit
And a big black jet with a bedroom in it
Gonna join the mile high club
At thirty-seven thousand feet—(Been there done that)—
I want a new tour bus full of old guitars
My own star on Hollywood Boulevard
Somewhere between Cher and
James Dean is fine for me
(So how you gonna do it?)

I’m gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I’d even cut my hair and change my name

[CHORUS]
‘Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We’ll all stay skinny ‘cause we just won’t eat
And we’ll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger’s
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blonde hair
And well…

Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar

I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels
Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes
Sign a couple autographs
So I can eat my meals for free
(I’ll have the quesadilla, ha ha)

I’m gonna dress my ass
With the latest fashion
Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion
Gonna date a centerfold that loves to
Blow my money for me

(So how you gonna do it?)

I’m gonna trade this life
For fortune and fame
I’d even cut my hair
And change my name

‘Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars and
Live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We’ll all stay skinny ‘cause we just won’t eat
And we’ll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger’s
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blonde hair
And we’ll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary of
Today’s who’s who
They’ll get you anything
with that evil smile
Everybody’s got a
Drug dealer on speed dial, well
Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar

I’m gonna sing those songs
That offend the censors
Gonna pop my pills
From a Pez dispenser

Get washed-up singers writing all my songs
Lip synch ‘em every night so I don’t get ‘em wrong

Well we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We’ll all stay skinny ‘cause we just won’t eat
And we’ll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger’s
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blond hair
And we’ll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary and
Today’s who’s who
They’ll get you anything
with that evil smile
Everybody’s got a
Drug dealer on speed dial,well

Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar

Shine On - James Blunt

Are you calling for our last dance?
I see it in your eyes … in your eyes
I could use the same old lines … but I’ll singShine on, just shine on
Close your eyes and they’ll all be gone
They can scream and shout that they’ve been sold out, but it paid for the cloud that we’re dancing on
So shine on, just shine on
With your smile just as bright as the sun
Cause they’re all just slaves to the Gods they’ve made
But you and I, just shone, just shone

And when silence greets my last goodbye
The words I need are in your eyes
And I’ll sing …..

Shine on, just shine on
Close your eyes and they’ll all be gone
They can scream and shout that they’ve been sold out but it paid for the cloud that we’re dancing on
So shine on, just shine on
With your smile just as bright as the sun
Cause they’re all just slaves to the Gods they’ve made
But you and I just shone, just shone

So shine on, just shine on
Close your eyes and they’ll all be gone
They can scream and shout that they’ve been sold out, but it paid for the cloud that we’re dancing on
So shine on, just shine on
With your smile just as bright as the sun
Cause they’re all just slaves to the Gods they’ve made
But you and I just shone, just shone

Illegal Attacks - Ian Brown feat. Sinead O’Connor

So what the fuck is this UK
Gunnin’ with this US of A
In Iraq and Iran and in Afghanistan

Does not a day go by
Without the Israeli Air Force
Fail to drop its bombs from the sky?

How many mothers to cry?
How many sons have to die?
How many missions left to fly over Palestine?
‘Cause as a matter of facts
It’s a pact, it’s an act
These are illegal attacks
So bring the soldiers back
These are illegal attacks
It’s contracts for contacts
I’m singing concrete facts
So bring the soldiers back

What mean that you beat my people
What mean that you beat my people
And grind the faces of the poor

So tell me just how come were the Taliban
Sat burning incense in Texas
Roaming round in a Lexus
Sittin’ on six billion oil drums
Down with the Dow Jones, up on the Nasdaq
Pushed into the war zones

It’s a commercial crusade
‘Cause all the oil men get paid
And only so many soldiers come home
It’s a commando crusade
A military charade
And only so many soldiers come home

Soldiers, soldiers come home
Soldiers come home

Through all the blood and sweat
Nobody can forget
It ain’t the size of the dog in the fight
It’s the size of the fight in the dog on the day or the night
There’s no time to reflect
On the threat, the situation, the bark nor the bite
These are commercial crusades
‘Cos all the oil men get paid
These are commando crusades
Commando tactical rape
And from the streets of New York and Baghdad to Tehran and Tel Aviv
Bring forth the prophets of the Lord
From dirty bastards fillin’ pockets
With the profits of greed

These are commercial crusades
Commando tactical raids
Playin’ military charades to get paid

And who got the devils?
And who got the Lords?
Build yourself a mountain – Drink up in the fountain
Soldiers come home
Soldiers come home
Soldiers come home
Soldiers come home

What mean ya that you beat my people
What mean ya that you beat my people
And grind the faces of the poor.

How far we’ve come - Matchbox Twenty

I’m waking up at the start of the end of the world,
but its feeling just like every morning before,
now i wonder what my life is going to mean if it’s gone,
the cars are moving like a half a mile an hour and I
started staring at the passengers who’re waving goodbye
can you tell me what was ever really special about me all this time?
but i believe the world is burning to the ground
oh well i guess we’re gonna find out


let’s see how far we’ve come
let’s see how far we’ve come
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
oh well, i guess, we’re gonna pretend,
let’s see how far we’ve come
let’s see how far we’ve come

i think it turned ten o’clock but i don’t really know
then i can’t remember caring for an hour or so
started crying and i couldn’t stop myself
i started running but there’s no where to run to
i sat down on the street and took a look at myself
said where you going man you know the world is headed for hell
say your goodbyes if you’ve got someone you can say goodbye to

i believe the world is burning to the ground
oh well i guess we’re gonna find out
let’s see how far we’ve come
let’s see how far we’ve come

Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
oh well, i guess, we’re gonna pretend,
let’s see how far we’ve come
let’s see how far we’ve come

its gone gone baby its all gone
there is no one on the corner and there’s no one at home
it was cool cool, it was just all cool
now it’s over for me and it’s over for you
well its gone gone baby its all gone
there is no one on the corner and there’s no one at home
well it was cool cool, it was just all cool
now it’s over for me and it’s over for you

but i believe the world is burning to the ground
oh well i guess we’re gonna find out
let’s see how far we’ve come
let’s see how far we’ve come
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
oh well, i guess, we’re gonna pretend

9 Crimes - Damien Rice

Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It’s the wrong kind of place
To be thinking of you
It’s the wrong time
For somebody new
It’s a small crime
And I’ve got no excuse
Is that all right?
Give my gun away when it’s loaded
Is that all right?
If you don’t shoot it how am I supposed to hold it
Is that all right?
Give my gun away when it’s loaded
Is that all right
With you?

Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It’s the wrong kind of place
To be cheating on you
It’s the wrong time
She’s pulling me through
It’s a small crime
And I’ve got no excuse

Is that all right?
I give my gun away when it’s loaded
Is that all right?
If you don’t shoot it, how am I supposed to hold it
Is that all right?
I give my gun away when it’s loaded
Is that all right
Is that all right with you?

Is that all right?
I give my gun away when it’s loaded
Is that all right?
If you don’t shoot it, how am I supposed to hold it
Is that all right?
If I give my gun away when it’s loaded
Is that all right
Is that all right with you?

Is that all right?
Is that all right?
Is that all right with you?
Is that all right?
Is that all right?
Is that all right with you?

No…
