The Cure - Pictures Of You


I've been looking so long at these pictures of youThat I almost believe that they're realI've been living so long with my pictures of youThat I almost believe that the pictures are all I can feel
Remembering you standing quiet in the rainAs I ran to your heart to be nearAnd we kissed as the sky fell in, holding you closeHow I always held close in your fearRemembering you running soft through the nightYou were bigger and brighter and wider than snowYou screamed at the make-believe, screamed at the skyAnd you finally found all your courage to let it all go
Remembering you, fallen into my armsCrying for the death of your heartYou were stone white, so delicateLost in the coldYou were always so lost in the darkRemembering you, how you used to beSlow drowned, you were angelsSo much more than everythingHold for the last time then slip away quietlyOpen my eyes, but I never see anything
If only I'd thought of the right wordsI could have held on to your heartIf only I'd thought of the right wordsI wouldn't be breaking apart all my pictures of you
Looking so long at these pictures of youBut I never hold on to your heartLooking so long for the words to be trueBut always just breaking apartMy pictures of you
There was nothing in the world that I ever wanted moreThan to feel you deep in my heartThere was nothing in the world that I ever wanted moreThan to never feel the breaking apartMy pictures of you

BOB DYLAN - Changing of the Guards


Sixteen yearsSixteen banners united over the fieldWhere the good shepherd grievesDesperate men, desperate women dividedSpreading their wings 'neath the falling leaves
Fortune callsI stepped forth from the shadows to the marketplaceMerchants and thieves, hungry for power, my last deal gone downShe's smelling sweet like the meadows where she was bornOn midsummer's eve, near the tower
The cold-blooded moonThe captain waits above the celebrationSending his thoughts to a beloved maidWhose ebony face is beyond communicationThe captain is down but still believing that his love will be repaid
They shaved her headShe was torn between Jupiter and ApolloA messenger arrived with a black nightingaleI seen her on the stairs and I couldn't help but followFollow her down past the fountain where they lifted her veil
I stumbled to my feetI rode past destruction in the ditchesWith the stitches still mending 'neath a heart-shaped tattooRenegade priests and treacherous young witchesWere handing out the flowers that I'd given to you
The palace of mirrorsWhere dog soldiers are reflectedThe endless road and the wailing of chimesThe empty rooms where her memory is protectedWhere the angels' voices whisper to the souls of previous times
She wakes him upForty-eight hours later, the sun is breakingNear broken chains, mountain laurel and rolling rocksShe's begging to know what measures he now will be takingHe's pulling her down and she's clutching on to his long golden locks
Gentlemen, he saidI don't need your organization, I've shined your shoesI've moved your mountains and marked your cardsBut Eden is burning, either getting ready for eliminationOr else your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guards
Peace will comeWith tranquility and splendor on the wheels of fireBut will bring us no reward when her false idols fallAnd cruel death surrenders with its pale ghost retreatingBetween the King and the Queen of Swords

Joy Division - Transmission (Official Lyric Video)


Radio, live transmissionRadio, live transmission
Listen to the silence, let it ring onEyes, dark grey lenses frightened of the sunWe would have a fine time living in the nightLeft to blind destructionWaiting for our sight
And we would go on as though nothing was wrongHide from these days we remained all aloneStaying in the same place, just staying out the timeTouching from a distance, further all the time
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radioDance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radioDance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radioDance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Well I could call out when the going gets toughThe things that we've learnt are no longer enoughNo language, just sound, that's all we need knowTo synchronise love to the beat of the showAnd we could dance
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radioDance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radioDance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radioDance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio

Living Colour - Cult Of Personality (Official Video)


Look in my eyesWhat do you see?The cult of personality
I know your anger, I know your dreamsI've been everything you want to beOh, I'm the cult of personality
Like Mussolini and KennedyI'm the cult of personalityThe cult of personalityThe cult of personality
Neon lights, a Nobel prizeWhen a mirror speaks, the reflection liesYou won't have to follow meOnly you can set me free
I sell the things you need to beI'm the smiling face on your TVOh, I'm the cult of personality
I exploit you, still you love meI tell you, one and one makes threeOh, I'm the cult of personality
Like Joseph Stalin and GandhiI'm the cult of personalityThe cult of personalityThe cult of personality
Neon lights, a Nobel prizeWhen a leader speaks, that leader diesYou won't have to follow meOnly you can set you free
You gave me fortune, you gave me fameYou gave me power in your god's nameI'm every person you need to beOh, I'm the cult of personality
I am the cult of, I am the cult ofI am the cult of, I am the cult ofI am the cult of, I am the cult ofI am the cult of, I am the cult of personality

Nick Cave & Warren Ellis - We Are Not Alone (La Panthère des Neiges)


This world has ears and rocks have eyesNature loves to hide
The world is a bush full of fiery eyesNature loves to hide

The Police - Invisible Sun (Official Music Video)


I don't want to spend the rest of my life Looking at the barrel of an Armalite I don't want to spend the rest of my days Keeping out of trouble like the soldiers say I don't want to spend my time in hell Looking at the walls of a prison cell I don't ever want to play the part Of a statistic on a government chart There has to be an invisible sun It gives its heat to everyone There has to be an invisible sun That gives us hope when the whole day's done It's dark all day and it glows all night Factory smoke and acetylene light I face the day with me head caved in Looking like something that the cat brought in There has to be an invisible sun It gives its heat to everyone There has to be an invisible sun That gives us hope when the whole day's done And they're only going to change this place By killing everybody in the human race They would kill me for a cigarette But I don't even wanna die just yet There has to be an invisible sun It gives its heat to everyone There has to be an invisible sun That gives us hope when the whole day's done Oh oh oh oh oh oh
