Apple Blossom- The White Stripes

Hey little apple blossom
What seems to be the problem?
All the ones you tell your troubles to
They don't really care for you

Come and tell me what you're thinking
Cause just when the boat is sinking
A little light is blinking
And I will come and rescue you

Lots of girls walk around in tears
But that's not for you
You've been looking all around for years
For someone to tell your troubles to

Come and sit with me and talk a while
Let me see your pretty little smile
Put your troubles in a little pile
And I will sort em' out for you

Lots of girls walk around in tears
But that's not for you
You've been looking all around for years
For someone to tell your troubles to

Come and sit with me and talk a while
Let me see your pretty little smile
Put your troubles in a little pile
And I will sort em' out for you

I'll fall in love with you
I think I'll marry you

Where you can't follow- The Horrorpops

I won't stay here no more
gone where you can not follow
I know what I saw
I'm choosing the door

I'm briefing you shortly
you're gonna lose
no matter how you try
you're just gonna abuse
your last breath
I've been watching you mind
you've only been working
on another me
a smiling female machine
so you can love me more

I won't stay here no more
gone where you can not follow
I know what I saw
I'm choosing the door


You can kneel and cry
and tell me why
but it's not gonna change
{I can} feel these tears so clear
when I close my eyes
burned in my conscience
is the two of you
close enough - but not too close
I saw you both
and my heart burned


I won't stay here no more
gone where you can not follow
I know what I saw
I'm choosing the door

I won't stay here no more
gone where you can not follow
I know what I saw
I'm choosing the door

I won't stay here no more
gone where you can not follow
I know what I saw
I'm choosing the door

Sellout- The Oddz

Last night my girlfriend asked me why
they don't play me on mtv
I guess I never really tried
to write a song thats this cheesy

but im tired of being poor
im tired of this life
and im ready to sell out completely
and i want some super model to become my wife
and i want more bling bling

la la la everybody sing
the stupidest song on the radio(radio)
look at me im on mtv
in the cheesiest video you'll ever see

last night a dj died
took his life on the radio(radio)
his hopes and dreams denied
they never let him spin what he wanted to
i say our hands our tied
you dont have a word on it anyway
why not spin my song
you can help me get laid, laid, laid....

la la la everybody sing
the stupidest song on the radio(radio)
look at me im on mtv
in the cheesiest video you'll ever see

la la la everybody sing
the stupidest song on the radio
look at me im on mtv
in the cheesiest video you'll ever see

hear the lyrics too
the melody's stupid
play it on and on until people start to scream it
some people tour the nation
its on every fucking station
the song is a defication
its on ludicrous rotation
all over the nation


spoken:
well its a hot morning here in down town hell...
fire and brimstone is falling from the skies and skull headed bats are eating all the naughty little children
if you're like everybody else you're stabbing yourself in the ear right now with a sharpened chopstick trying to make this madness end.
This is going out to you, it's sellout by the oddz 57 million more times....in a row.

Last night my girlfriend asked me why
they don't play me on mtv
I guess I never really tried
to sell my soul on tv
to sell out this completely!!

la la la everybody sing
the stupidest song on the radio(radio)
look at me im on mtv
in the cheesiest video you'll ever see

la la la everybody sing
the stupidest song on the radio(radio)
look at me im on mtv
in the cheesiest video you'll ever see

(on the radio, on the radio)
(on the radio, on the radio)

Welcome to the world- Voltaire

I knew a girl,
She was so young
So full of dreams
so ready for love

she met a boy
whose words were like the waves
in came the tide
and she was swept away

I knew a boy,
he was so young
so full of steam
so ready for lust

he met a girl who
held a wonderous prize
he said the magic words
to open up her thighs!!

Ten years have passed
He's on your mind
as long as you live
he'll always be that guy

If you asked him to
prove it once again
he may recall the night
but he can't remember your name

you lost nothing
you lost nothing
you lost nothing
you lost nothing
welcome to the world!
(echoes)

Bad moon Rising- Rasputina

I see a bad moon rising,
I see trouble on the way,
I see earthquakes and lightnin'
I see bad times today

So don't come 'round tonight
It's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise

I hear hurricanes a-blowin'
I fear the end is comin' soon
I fear river's over flowing
I hear the voice of rage and ruin

So don't come 'round tonight
It's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise

Hope you have got your things together
Hope you are quite prepared to die
Looks like we're in for nasty weather
One eye is taken for an eye

Not about Love- Fiona Apple

The early cars
Already are
Drawing deep breaths past my door
And last night's phrases
Sick with lack of basis
Are still writhing on my floor

And it doesn't seem fair
That your wicked words should work
In holding me down
No, it doesn't seem right
To take information
Given at close range
For the gag
And the bind
And the ammunition round

Conversation once colored by esteem
Became duologue as a diagram of a play for blood
Took a vacation, my palate got clean
Now I could taste your agenda
While you're spitting your cud

And it doesn't make sense
I should fall for the kingcraft of a meritless crown
No, it doesn't seem right
To take information
Given at close range
For the gag
And the bind
And the ammunition round

This is not about love
'Cause I am not in love
In fact I can't stop falling out

This is not about love
'Cause I am not in love
In fact I can't stop falling out
I miss that stupid ache

What is this posture
I have to stare at
That's what he said when I'm sittin' up straight
Change the name of the game 'cause he lost
And he knew he was wrong but he knew it too late
But I'm not being fair
'Cause I chose to listen to that filthy mouth
But I'd like to choose right
Take all the things that I've said that he stole
Put 'em in a sack
Swing 'em over my shoulder
Turn on my heels
Step out of this sight
Try to live in a lovelier light

This is not about love
'Cause I am not in love
In fact I cant stop falling out

This is not about love
'Cause I am not in love
In fact i cant stop falling out
I miss that stupid ache

Trois Verges- Epica

Memory, fading out
Its presence still lingers in my mind
Listen to your inner voice
There's no escape, there's no other choice

A foolish fate that came about
Death could not leave without
Don't try to scour your inane soul
It would be labour lost

Deep inside hides a lie
Where can we try to seek
A way so this will die

Innocence died when they took his mind
And they tried to leave him behind
Not even a cascade of tears will save you
And keep you away from harm

Concinnity of destiny
Is not what you wished it to be

Deep inside hides a lie
Where can we try to seek
A way so this will die

Blinded by love
Between lust and hate
You scarred your fate
There’s no time to waste

Ride for your own ruin
Odium became your opium

Please don’t let me bleed for all eternity

Deep inside hides a lie
Where can we try to seek
A way so this

Please leave me be in my own misery
