01. NOAH & THE WHALE: 2 ATOMS IN A MOLECULE
Last night I had a dream we were inseparably entwined
Like a piece of rope made out of two pieces of vine
Held together, holding each other with no one else in mind
Like two atoms in a molecule inseparably combined
But then I woke from the dream to realize I was alone
A tragic event, I must admit, but not let’s not be overblown
I’m not trying to write a love song, just a sad, pathetic moan
And maybe I just need a change, maybe I need a new cologne
But now I look at love like being stabbed in the heart
You torture each other from day to day and then one day you part
Most of the time it’s misery, but there’s some joy at the start
And for that I say it’s worth, just use a blade that’s short and sharp on me
If love is just a game, then how come it’s no fun?
If love is just a game, how come I’ve never won?
I guess it may be possible I might be playing it wrong
And that’s why every time I roll the dice, I always come undone
02. ALL TOO MUCH:MORE THAN A FRIEND
Monday morning I call you up
How was your weekend?
I just can’t stop
It’s Tuesday and you’re stressed again
I’ll rub your back I’m such a good friend
Wednesday and I’m feeling fine
Another guy moved you down his line
Thursday we’d go rent a flick
Watch it close together we still don’t click
There I’ve said it again
I think of you as more than a friend
There I’ve said it again
I think of you as more than a friend
03.SEAWOLF: VIOLET HOUR
Your lips are nettles
Your tongue is wine
Your laughter’s liquid
But your body’s pine
You love all sailors
But hate the beach
You say “Come touch me”
But you’re always out of reach
In the dark you tell me of a flower
that only blooms in the violet hour
Your arms are lovely
Yellow and rose
Your back`s a meadow
Covered in snow
Your thighs are thistles
and hot-house grapes
You breathe your sweet breath
And have me wait
In the dark you tell me of a flower
that only blooms in the violet hour
I turn the lights out
I clean the sheets
You change the station
Turn up the heat
And now you`re setting
Upon your chair
You`ve got me tangled up
Inside your beautiful black hair
In the dark you tell me of a flower
that only blooms in the violet hour
04.SIA: BREATHE ME
Help, I have done it again
I have been here many times before
Hurt myself again today
And, the worst part is there’s no one else to blame
Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
I’m needy
Warm me up
And breathe me
Ouch I have lost myself again
Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found,
Yeah I think that I might break
I’ve lost myself again and I feel unsafe
Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
I’m needy
Warm me up
And breathe me
06.NINE INCH NAILS: DEAD SOULS
Someone take these dreams away
that point me to another day
A duel of personalities
That stretch all true reality
They keep calling me
Keep on calling me
They keep calling me
Keep on calling me
They keep calling me
Keep on calling me
06.HANK & CUPCAKES: SHE’S LOST CONTROL
Confusion in her eyes that says it all.
She’s lost control.
And she’s clinging to the nearest passer by,
She’s lost control.
And she gave away the secrets of her past,
And said I’ve lost control again,
And of a voice that told her when and where to act,
She said I’ve lost control again.
And she turned around and took me by the hand
And said I’ve lost control again.
And how I’ll never know just why or understand
She said I’ve lost control again.
And she screamed out kicking on her side
And said I’ve lost control again.
And seized up on the floor, I thought she’d die.
She said I’ve lost control.
She’s lost control again.
She’s lost control.
She’s lost control again.
She’s lost control.
07.CRYSTAL CASTLES: SUFFOCATION
We ignore refused consent
animals do not repent
courtesy to intervene
weathered down my selfish needs
I suffocate
and promise me you won’t resuscitate
and if I change my mind it’s far too late
I’m wasting my days as I’ve wasted my nights and I’ve wasted my youth
you’re waiting for something you’ve waited in vain because there’s nothing for you
Suffocation
Humility yet to be seen
models made of plasticene
morality disgrace us now
entertain and take a bow
I suffocate
and promise me you won’t resuscitate
and if I change my mind it’s far too late
I’m wasting my days as I’ve wasted my nights and i’ve wasted my youth
you’re waiting for something you’ve waited in vain because there’s nothing for you
Suffocation
08.THE GREAT LAKE SWIMMERS: YOUR ROCKY SPINE
I was lost in the lakes
And the shapes that your body makes
That your body makes, that your body makes
That your body makes
The mountains said I could find you here
They whispered the snow and the leaves in my ear
I traced my finger along your trails
Your body was the map, I was lost in it
Floating over your rocky spine
The glaciers made you, and now you’re mine
Floating over your rocky spine
The glaciers made you, and now you’re mine
I was moving across your frozen veneer
The sky was dark but you were clear
Could you feel my footsteps
And would you shatter, would you shatter, would you
And with your soft fingers between my claws
Like purity against resolve
I could tell, then and there, that we were formed from the clay
And came from the rocks for the earth to display
They told me to be careful up there
Where the wind blows a venomous rage through your hair
They told me to be careful up there
Where the wind rages through your hair
09.THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS:THE STATE WE’RE IN
I’ve been workin’ baby for too long now
Just wanna get next to you boy
I’ve been searchin’ baby, a way to tell you how
Gotta get through to you boy
Never said it was sunshine but you took it all of the time
Never said it was sunshine but you took it all of the time
All of the time, all of the time, all of the time
You took it all of the time
There’s no escaping now
Let me show you how
What it feels to be true
I’ve been workin’ baby for too long now
Just wanna get next to you boy
I’ve been searchin’ baby, a way to tell you how
Gotta get through to you boy
Never said it was sunshine but you took it all of the time
Never said it was sunshine but you took it all of the time
All of the time, all of the time, all of the time
You took it all of the time
There’s no escaping now
Let me show you how
What it feels to be true
There’s no escaping now
Let me show you how
What it feels to be true
I’ve been workin’ baby for too long now
I’ve been searchin’ baby, a way to tell you how
10.WHITE LIES: BAD LOVE
I was waiting in the back-seat of the car
When I knew I’d given up
Down on the back streets by the park
So sick of the taste of blood
I’m gonna write your girl a letter
It’ll make everything better
If I’m guilty of anything
It’s loving you too much
Honey, sometimes love
Means getting a little rough
This is not bad love
This is not bad love
I’ve been going to church
But I don’t believe
I’ll ever be clear this pain
Walk like a ghost through the streets
Soaked from the pouring rain
And I won’t ask your God for mercy
My spirits’re low, my soul is dirty
11.CRYSTAL CASTLES & ROBERT SMITH: NOT IN LOVE
i saw your picture hangin’ on the back of my door
won’t give you my heart
no one lives there anymore
and we were lovers
now we can’t be friends
fascination ends
here we go again
cause it’s cold outside, when you coming home
cause it’s hot inside, isn’t that enough
i’m not in love
could it be that time has taken it’s toll
won’t take you so far, i am in control
and we were lovers
now we can’t be friends
fascination ends
here we go again
cause it’s cold outside, when you coming home
cause it’s hot inside, isn’t that enough
i’m not in love
we are not in love
12.THE NATIONAL: CONVERSATION 16
i think the kids are in trouble
i do not know what all the troubles are for
give them ice for their fevers
you’re the only thing i ever want anymore
we’ll live on coffee and flowers
try not to wonder what the weather will be
i figured out what we’re missing
tell you miserable things after you are asleep
now we’ll leave the silver city
cause all the silver girls gave us black dreams
leave the silver city
cause all the silver girls
everything means everything
it’s a hollywood summer
you never believe the shitty thoughts i think
we had friends out for dinner
when i said what i said i didn’t mean anything
we belong in a movie
try to hold it together till our friends are gone
we should swim in a fountain
I do not want to disappoint anyone
now we’ll leave the silver city
cause all the silver girls gave us black dreams
leave the silver city
to all the silver girls
everything means everything
I was afraid I’d eat your brains
I was afraid I’d eat your brains
Cause I’m evil
Cause I’m evil
Im a confident liar
Have my head in the oven so you know where i’ll be
I try to be more romantic
i wanna believe in everything you believe
i was less than amazing
i do not know what all the troubles are for
i fall asleep in your branches
you’re the only thing i ever want anymore
now we’ll leave the silver city
cuz all the silver girls gave us black dreams
eave the silver city
to all the silver girls
everything means everything
I was afraid I’d eat your brains
I was afraid I’d eat your brains
Cause I’m evil
Cause I’m evil
Cause I’m evil
13.NOAH AND THE WHALE: SHAPE OF MY HEART
Oh when I look to the shape of my heart,
It’s separated only by scars
That cut in and cut out
Oh and leave me without
Oh a heart that functions at all.
And when I look to the shape of the sky,
I give thanks for this hollow chest of mine;
That I no longer feel
The great weight of ordeals
That can make this life so unkind
Oh and if there’s any love in me,
Don’t let it show.
Oh and if there’s any love in me,
Don’t let it grow.
Oh when the wild was all covered by snow,
I forgot the colours that the grass tend to grow.
Oh the trees were all leafless,
And lifeless and black,
And I wondered if the leaves could grow back
For your heart is like a flower as it grows,
And it’s the rain, not just the sun that helps it bloom,
And you don’t know how it feels to be alive,
Until you know how it feels to die
Oh and if there’s any love in me,
Don’t let it show.
Oh and if there’s any love in me,
Don’t let it grow.
14.THE JESUS & MARY CHAIN: JUST LIKE HONEY
Listen to the girl
As she takes on half the world
Moving up and so alive
In her honey dripping beehive
Beehive
It’s good, so good, it’s so good
So good
Walking back to you
Is the hardest thing that
I can do
That I can do for you
For you
I’ll be your plastic toy
I’ll be your plastic toy
For you
Eating up the scum
Is the hardest thing for
Me to do
Just like honey
15.INGRID MICHAELSON: ONCE WAS LOVE
Everyone is hurting now and everything is burning down
But I can build back my new town today
Just because there once was love
Don’t mean a thing, don’t mean a thing
Just because there once was love
Don’t mean a thing, don’t mean a thing
Just because there once was love
Don’t mean a thing, don’t mean a thing
Just because there once was love
There once was love, there once was love
16.GOLD MOTEL: SUMMER HOUSE
Some say love’s a burning building,
Love’s a sinking ship,
But I like the heat
I like the noise
We are fools, and we know it
Trying not to show it
With every look
Every face
At the summer house, at the summer house
I’m curving like the ocean toward you
At the summer house, at the summer house today
No matter what you say, no matter what you say
I’m curving like the ocean toward you
At the summer house, at the summer house today
Today
I don’t believe in anyone else
Believe in anything else
But what I can touch
What I can see
Tell me where we won’t be ruined
Where we won’t get used to it
All of the noise
All of the heat
At the summer house, at the summer house
I’m curving like the ocean toward you
At the summer house, at the summer house today
No matter what you say, no matter what you say
I’m curving like the ocean toward you
At the summer house, at the summer house today
Today
Tell me nothing will ruin us, will ruin us
Tell me nothing will ruin us, will ruin us
At the summer house, at the summer house
I’m curving like the ocean toward you
At the summer house, at the summer house today
No matter what you say, no matter what you say
I’m curving like the ocean toward you
At the summer house, at the summer house today
No matter what you say, no matter what you say
I’m curving like the ocean toward you
At the summer house, at the summer house today
17.TILLY & THE WALL: DUST ME OFF
Sometimes I don’t feel alright
Keeps me shaking, up all night
and there’s nothing I can do
But I want to talk to you
This shit’s making me feel bad
I’m so sick of feeling sad
Why can’t I shake this mess?
Keeps on running through my head
I can’t get out of bed
stomach’s sick, dizzy head
singing helps alright,
but i been singing all night
Try to open up my eyes
take some time to realize
sometimes shit won’t feel alright
got to remember to fight
off the darkness that comes in,
sometimes.
Turn that sorrow into something that feels right
you’re a true friend i can count on, when i’m blue
you pull me up, you dust me off, you pull me through.
Sometimes LUCK’S NOT on my side
keeps me shaking, up all night
and there’s nothing i can do
but i want to talk to you
This shit’s making me feel bad
I’m so sick of feeling sad
Why can’t I shake this mess?
Always running through my head
Now I can’t get out of bed
stomach’s sick, dizzy head
singing helps alright,
but i been singing all night
Try to open up my eyes
take some time to realize
sometimes shit won’t feel alright
got to remember to fight
off the darkness that creeps in,
sometimes.
and turn that sadness into something that feels right
cause you’re a true friend i can count on, when i’m blue
you pull me up, you dust me off, you pull me through.
You’re my love
(wha-ah-ah-oh)
Yeah, you’re my love
(wha-ah-ah-oh)
Its true you’re my love
(wha-ah-ah-oh)
Darling, it’s true
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
18.JULIAN PLENTI: FUN THAT WE HAVE
with all the fun that we have, we have come far
with all the fun that we have, we have come so far
19. THE CIVIL WARS: POISON & WINE
You only know what I want you to
I know everything you don’t want me to
Your mouth is poison
Your mouth is wine
You think your dreams
Are the same as mine
Oh I don’t love you
But I always will
Oh I don’t love you
But I always will
Oh I don’t love you
But I always will
I always will
I wish you’d hold me when I turn my back
The less I give
The more I get back
Oh your hands can heal
Your hands can bruise
I don’t have a choice
But I still choose you
Oh I don’t love you
But I always will
I always will
20.PJ HARVEY: ONE LINE
Do you remember the first kiss?
Stars shooting across the sky
To come to such a place as this
You never left my mind
I’m watching from the wall
As in the streets we fight
This world all gone to war
All I need is you tonight
And I draw a line
To your heart today
To your heart from mine
A line to keep us safe
All through the rising sun
All through the circling years
You were the only one
Who could have brought me here
And I draw a line
To your heart today
To your heart from mine
A line to keep us safe
21.SIA: MY LOVE
My love, leave yourself behind
Be inside me, leave you blind
My love, you have found peace
You were searching for release
You gave it all into the call
You took a chance and
You took the fall for us
You came thoughtfully
Loved me faithfully
You taught me honor
You did it for me
Tonight you will sleep for good
You will wait for me, my love
Now I am strong, you gave me all
You gave all you had
And now I am home
My love, leave yourself behind
Be inside me, leave you blind
My love, look what you can do
I am mending, I’ll be with you
You took my hand and added a plan
You gave me your heart
I asked you to dance with me
You loved honestly
Did what you could release
Ah, ooh
I know you’re pleased to go
I won’t relieve this love
Now I am strong, you gave me all
You gave all you had
And now I am home
My love, leave yourself behind
Be inside me, I’ll be with you
22.MY BLOODY VALENTINE: SOMETIMES
Close my eyes
Feel me now
I don’t know maybe you could not love me now
You will know, and her feet down to the ground
Over there, and I want true love to love
You can’t hide, oh no, from the way I feel
Turn my head
Into sound
I don’t know when I lay down on the ground
You will find the (way it) hurts to love
Never cared and the world turned hearts to love
You will see, oh now, oh the way I do
You will wait
See me go
I don’t care when your head turned all alone
You will wait when I turn my eyes around
Overhead when I hold you next to me
Overhead, to know, oh the way I see
Close my eyes
Feel me how
I don’t know maybe you could not hurt me now
Here alone when I feel down too
Over there when I await true love for you
You can hide, oh no, oh the way I do
You will see, oh now, oh the way I do
Thank you to all the folks who help to maintain and mod Seasonal Spuffy! You guys rock.
