The Noose - A Perfect Circle (listen via napster)

So glad to see you well, overcome them
Completely silent now
With heaven’s help
You’ve cast your demons out
And not to pull your halo down
Around your neck and tug you off your cloud
But I’m more than just a little curious
How you’re plannin’ to go about makin’ your amends
To the dead
To the dead

Recall the deeds as if they’re all
Someone else’s
Atrocious stories
Now you stand reborn
Before us all
So glad to see you well

And not to pull your halo down
Around your neck and tug you to the ground
But I’m more than just a little curious
How you’re plannin’ to go about makin’ your amends
To the dead
To the dead

With your halo slippin’ down
Your halo slippin’
Your halo slippin’ down
Your halo slippin’ down

Your halo slippin’ down
(I’m more than just a little curious
How you’re plannin’ to go about makin’ your amends)
[repeated]

Your halo slippin’ down
Your halo’s slippin’ down to choke you now

The trial - Pink Floyd (listen via napster)

Good morning, the worm, your honour,
The crown will plainly show,
The prisoner who now stands before you,
Was caught red-handed showing feelings.
Showing feelings of an almost human nature.
This will not do.

Call the schoolmaster!

I always said hed come to no good,
In the end, your honour.
If theyd let me have my way,
I could have flayed him into shape.
But my hands were tied.
The bleeding hearts and artists,
Let him get away with murder.
Let me hammer him today.

Crazy.
Toys in the attic, I am crazy.
Truly gone fishing.
They must have taken my marbles away.
(crazy. toys in the attic, he is crazy.)

You little shit, youre in it now.
I hope they throw away the key.
You shouldve talked to me more often than you did.
But no! you had to go your own way.
Have you broken any homes up lately?
Just five minutes, worm, your honour,
Him and me alone.

Baaaaaabe!
Come to mother, baby.
Let me hold you in my arms.
Mlord, I never meant for him to get in any trouble.
Whyd he ever have to leave me?
Worm, your honour, let me take him home.

Crazy.
Over the rainbow, I am crazy.
Bars in the window.
There must have been a door there in the wall.
For when I came in. . .
(crazy. over the rainbow, he is crazy.)

The evidence before the court is incontravertible.
Theres no need for the jury to retire.
In all my years of judging I have never heard before,
Of someone more deserving of the full penalty of the law.
The way you made them suffer,
Your exquisite wife and mother,
Fills me with the urge to deficate! — no, judge, the jury!
Since, my friend, you have revealed your deepest fear,
I sentence you to be exposed before your peers.
Tear down the wall!

3 Libras - A Perfect Circle (listen via napster)

Threw you the obvious
And you flew with it on your back
A name in your recollection
Down among a million same

Difficult not to feel a little bit
Disappointed and passed over
When I look right through,
See you naked but oblivious

And you don’t see me

But I threw you the obvious
Just to see if there’s more behind the
Eyes of a fallen angel,
Eyes of a tragedy

Here I am expecting just a little bit
Too much from the wounded
But I see, see through it all
See through, see you

‘Cause I threw you the obvious
To see what occurs behind the
Eyes of a fallen angel,
Eyes of a tragedy

Oh well, oh well
Apparently nothing,
Apparently nothing at all

You don’t, you don’t
You don’t see me

You don’t, you don’t
You don’t see me

You don’t, you don’t
You don’t see me

You don’t, you don’t
You don’t see me

You don’t see me

You don’t, you don’t
You don’t see me at all

Call Me When You Get This - Corrine Bailey Rae (listen via napster)

How does it feel being in these arms?
What’s it really like to be loved?
I’ve been alone now, how long?
Have you ever loved the way that i have?
And i have often wondered who,
Who could love you the way i do?
Now i just want you to know, how i’m touched deep in my soul just being with you.
And i need you more each day.
Baby, if you’re still awake,
Call me when you get this.
I’ve got all this poetry now i didn’t know then.
I kept inside. guess i had never seen anything beautiful
Till i first saw you asleep at night.
And i have often wondered who,
Who could love you the way i do?
Now i just want you to know,
How i’m touched deep in my soul
Just being with you.
And i need you more each day.
Baby, if you’re still awake,
Call me when you get this.
I just wanted to know what it was like, what’s it really like to be loved?
These little volcanoes came as a surprise to me.
I never thought i could be this way.
And i have been cautious and i’ve tried to keep to myself, but who could love you the way i do?
Now i just want you to know, how i’m touched deep in my soul.
Just being with you.
So much more each day,
Baby, if you’re still awake,
Call me when you get this

Battle-Axe - Deftones (unavailable on napster)

I want to sleep if you are awake
Still making believe that you aren’t at all crazy
And if you don’t believe I think you should
You make me so proud
Still you love to think you have always been this way…but you’re all wrong
And you only sleep when you’ve lost cause
Well I still believe that the cause was always me
And if you don’t believe I think you should
You make me so proud
Still you love to think you have always been this way
Well I’d love to think you will someday feel the same
And you love to think it will always…always…
If you still believe it will always be this way…well you’re all wrong

Nothing Better - The Postal Service (unavailable on napster)

[guy:]
Will someone please call a surgeon
Who can crack my ribs and repair this broken heart
That you’re deserting for better company?
I can’t accept that it’s over…
I will block the door like a goalie tending the net
In the third quarter of a tied-game rivalry

So just say how to make it right
And i swear I’ll do my best to comply

Tell me am i right to think that there could be nothing better
Than making you my bride and slowly growing old together

[girl:]
I feel I must interject here you’re getting carried away feeling sorry for yourself
With these revisions and gaps in history
So let me help you remember.
I’ve made charts and graphs that should finally make it clear.
I’ve prepared a lecture on why I have to leave

So please back away and let me go

[guy:]
I can’t my darling i love you so…

[both:]
Oh, oh

[guy:]
Tell me am i right to think that there could be nothing better
Than making you my bride and slowly growing old together

[girl:]
Don’t you feed me lines about some idealistic future
Your heart won’t heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures

[guy:]
I know that I have made mistakes and i swear
I’ll never wrong you again

[girl:]
You’ve got a lure i can’t deny,
But you’ve had your chance so say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
