Gallows - The Vulture (Act II)


When you work for the father
Your sin is never saved
You carry the net and he holds the spade.
You will drag the lakes and he will rob the graves.
You will be remembered
No one will speak your name

Live by the sword die for the lord.
Call down the vulture to dine on the corpse.

Cursed are the places you have been
You lead us there and forced us in
Take the girls to become the daughters.
If the horses won´t drink drown them in the water

When you work for the father
Your sin is never saved
[ Gallows Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
You carry the net and he holds the spade.
You will drag the lakes and he will rob the graves.
You will be remembered
No one will speak your name

Live by the sword.
Die for the lord.
Call down the vultures
To dine on the corpse

Cursed are the places you have been
You lead us there and forced us in
Take the girls to become the daughters.
If the horses wont drink drown them in the water

This is the end

Sebadoh - Drama Mine

*Not actual band in video* :-)


Close the Venetian blind
Shut out the light and say goodbye to you
Soon I can see right through
You're sitting here talking to
Real eyes, pools of blue
Making what you say the rule
You make me dream of broken tools
I need the Dramamine
To be as crazy as your scene
I know it's not a dream
Don't know what you're telling me?
It's like wasting everything
On someone else's dream
It's like wasting everything
On someone else's dream
Seems pretty crazy to me
Seems pretty crazy to me
Seems pretty crazy to me

The Cure - Jumping someone else's train


Don't say what you mean
You might spoil your face
If you walk in the crowd
You won't leave any trace
It's always the same
You're jumping someone else's train

It won't take you long
To learn the new smile
You'll have to adapt
Or you'll be out of style
It's always the same
You're jumping someone else's train

If you pick up on it quick
You can say you were there
Again and again and again
You're jumping someone else's train

It's the latest wave
That you've been craving for
The old ideal
Was getting such a bore
Now you're back in line
Going not quite quite as far
But in half the time
Everyone's happy
They're finally all the same
'cause everyone's jumping
Everyone else's train

Jumping someone else's train
Jumping someone else's train
Jumping someone else's train

Dead Kennedys - Let's Lynch the Landlord


The Landlord's here to visit
They're blasting disco down below
Sez, "I'm doubling up the rent
Cos the building's condemned
You're gonna help me buy City Hall"

But we can, you know we can
But we can, you know we can
Let's lynch the landlord man

I tell them 'turn on the water'
I tell 'em 'turn on the heat'
Tells me 'All you ever do is complain'
Then they search the place when I'm not here

But we can, you know we can
Let's lynch the landlord
Let's lynch the landlord
Let's lynch the landlord man

There's rats chewin' up the kitchen
Roaches up to my knees
Turn the oven on, it smells like Dachau, yeah
Til the rain pours thru the ceiling

But we can, you know we can
Let's lynch the landlord man

U2 - I will follow

Very rare clip of U2 performing on a short lived kids programme called Get it Together. I don't have the exact date of this but believe it is November 1980

Palace - I Send My Love To You



I send my love to you.
I send my hands to you.
I send my clothes to you.
I send my nose to you.
I send my trees to you.
I send my pleas to you.
Won't you send some back to me?

Send your ways to me.
Send your call to me.
Send you days to me.
Send it all to me.
And when I'm high and square,
When i would have you there,
You will be...

The moon is falling.
My wounds are calling.
My head is bleeding.
And I'm a duck.
The lake is cracking.
It hears me quacking.
Fuck the land, and two if by me.

Send your ways to me.
Send your call to me.
Send your days to me.
Send it all to me.
And when i'm high and square,
When i would have you there,
You will be...

Radiohead - My Iron Lung



Faith, you're driving me away
You do it everyday
You don't mean it
But it hurts like hell

My brain says I'm receiving pain
A lack of oxygen
From my life support
My iron lung

We're too young to fall asleep
To cynical to speak
We are losing it
Can't you tell?

We scratch our eternal itch
A twentieth century bitch
And we are grateful for
Our iron lung

The headshrinkers, they want everything
My uncle Bill, my Belisha beacon
The headshrinkers, they want everything
My uncle Bill, my Belisha beacon

Suck, suck your teenage thumb
Toilet trained and dumb
When the power runs out
We'll just hum

This, this is our new song
Just like the last one
A total waste of time
My iron lung
The headshrinkers, they want everything
My uncle Bill, my Belisha beacon
The headshrinkers, they want everything
My uncle Bill, my Belisha beacon

And if you're frightened
You can be frightened
You can be, it's OK
And if you're frightened
You can be frightened
You can be, it's OK

The headshrinkers, they want everything
My uncle Bill, my Belisha beacon
