Enjoy The Silence (Gore) Depeche Mode - from “Violator” (1990) Words like violence break the silence Come crashing in, into my little world Painful to me, pierce right through me Can’t you understand oh my little girl All I ever wanted, all I ever needed Is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary, they can only do harm Vows are spoken to be broken Feelings are intense, words are trivial Pleasures remain, so does the pain Words are meaningless, and forgettable All I ever wanted, all I ever needed Is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm Enjoy the silence I’m Not In Love (Stewart/Gouldman) 10cc - from The Original Soundtrack (1975) I’m not in love, so don’t forget it. It’s just a silly phase I’m going through. And just because I call you up, Don’t get me wrong, don’t think you’ve got it made. I’m not in love, no no, it’s because... I like to see you, but then again, That doesn’t mean you mean that much to me. So if I call you, don’t make a fuzz; Don’t tell your friends about the two of us. I’m not in love, no no, it’s because... I keep your picture upon the wall. It hides a nasty stain that’s lying there. So don’t you ask me to give it back. I know you know it doesn’t mean that much to me. I’m not in love, no no, it’s because... Ooh, you’ll wait a long time for me. Ooh, you’ll wait a long time. I’m not in love, I’m not in love... Rattlesnakes (Clark/Cole) Lloyd Cole & The Commotions - from “Rattlesnakes” (1984) Jodie wears a hat although it hasn’t rained for six days She says a girl needs a gun these days Hey on account of all the rattlesnakes She looks like Eve Marie Saint in on the waterfront She reads Simone de Beauvoir in her American circumstance She’s less than sure if her heart has come to stay in San Jose And her neverborn child still haunts her As she speeds down the freeway As she tries her luck with the traffic police Out of boredom more than spite She never finds no trouble, she tries too hard She’s obvious despite herself She looks like Eve Marie Saint in on the waterfront She says all she needs is therapy yeah All you need is, love is all you need Jodie never sleeps ‘cause there are always needles in the hay She says that a girl needs a gun these days Hey on account of all the rattlesnakes She looks like Eve Marie Saint in on the waterfront As she reads Simone de Beauvoir in her American circumstance Her heart, heart’s like crazy paving Upside down and back to front She says ooh, it’s so hard to love When love was your great disappointment Time (Waits) Tom Waits - from Rain Dogs (1985) Well, the smart money’s on Harlow And the moon is in the street The shadow boys are breaking all the laws And you’re east of East St. Louis And the wind is making speeches And the rain sounds like a round of applause Napoleon is weeping in the Carnival saloon His invisible fiance is in the mirror The band is going home It’s raining hammers, it’s raining nails Yes, it’s true, there’s nothing left for him down here Chorus: And it’s Time Time Time And it’s Time Time Time And it’s Time Time Time That you love And it’s Time Time Time And they all pretend they’re Orphans And their memory’s like a train You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away And the things you can’t remember Tell the things you can’t forget that History puts a saint in every dream Well she said she’d stick around Until the bandages came off But these mamas boys just don’t know when to quit And Matilda asks the sailors are those dreams Or are those prayers So just close your eyes, son And this won’t hurt a bit Chorus Well, things are pretty lousy for a calendar girl The boys just dive right off the cars And splash into the streets And when she’s on a roll she pulls a razor From her boot and a thousand Pigeons fall around her feet So put a candle in the window And a kiss upon his lips Till the dish outside the window fills with rain Just like a stranger with the weeds in your heart And pay the fiddler off till I come back again Heart Of Gold (Neil Young) Neil Young - from “Harvest” (1972) I want to live, I want to give I’ve been a miner for a heart of gold. It’s these expressions I never give That keep me searching for a heart of gold And I’m getting old. Keeps me searching for a heart of gold And I’m getting old. I’ve been to Hollywood I’ve been to Redwood I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold I’ve been in my mind, it’s such a fine line That keeps me searching for a heart of gold And I’m getting old. Keeps me searching for a heart of gold And I’m getting old. Keep me searching for a heart of gold You keep me searching for a heart of gold And I’m getting old. I’ve been a miner for a heart of gold. I Don’t Like Mondays (Bob Geldof) The Boomtown Rats - from The Fine Art Of Surfacing (1979) The silicon chip inside her head Gets switched to overload And nobody’s gonna go to school today She’s gonna make them stay at home And Daddy doesn’t understand it He always said she was good as gold And he can see no reason 'Cause there are no reasons What reasons do you need to be shown? Chorus: Tell me why I don’t like Mondays I want to shoot the whole day down The telex machine is kept so clean And it types to waiting world And Mother feels so shocked Father’s world is rocked And their thoughts turn to Their own little girl Sweet 16 ain’t that peachy keen No it ain’t so neat to admit defeat, They can see no reasons 'Cause there are no reasons What reasons do you need to be shown? Repeat Chorus All the playing’s stopped in the playground now She wants to play with her toys awhile And school’s out early and soon we’ll be learning That the lesson today is how to die And then the bullhorn crackles And the captain tackles With the problems and the how’s and why’s And he can see no reasons 'Cause there are no reasons What reasons do you need to die? Repeat Chorus Happiness Is A Warm Gun (Lennon/McCartney) The Beatles - from The Beatles (White Album, 1968) She’s not a girl who misses much. Do do do do do do, oh yeah She’s well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand Like a lizard on a window pane. The man in the crowd with the multicolored mirrors On his hobnail boots Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy Working overtime A soap impression of his wife which he ate And donated to the National Trust. I need a fix ‘cause I’m going down. Down to the bits that I left uptown. I need a fix ‘cause I’m going down. Mother Superior jump the gun Mother Superior jump the gun Mother Superior jump the gun Mother Superior jump the gun. Happiness is a warm gun (bang, bang, shoot shoot) Happiness is a warm gun When I hold you in my arms And I feel my finger on your trigger I know nobody can do me no harm Because happiness is a warm gun. Yes it is. Raining Blood (Hanneman/King) Slayer - from Reign In Blood (1986) Trapped in purgatory A lifeless object, alive Awaiting reprisal Death will be their acquisition The sky is turning red Return to power draws near Fall into me, the sky’s crimson tears Abolish the rules made of stone Pierced from below, souls of my treacherous past Betrayed by many, now ornaments dripping above Awaiting the hour of reprisal Your time slips away Raining blood From a lacerated sky Bleeding its horror Creating my structure Now I shall reign in blood Real Men (Jackson) Joe Jackson - from Night And Day (1982) Take your mind back - I don’t know when Sometime when it always seemed To be just us and them Girls that wore pink And boys that wore blue Boys that always grew up better men Than me and you What’s a man now - what’s a man mean Is he rough or is he rugged Is he cultural and clean Now it’s all change - it’s got to change more ‘Cause we think it’s getting better But nobody’s really sure And so it goes - go round again But now and then we wonder who the real men are See the nice boys - dancing in pairs Golden earring golden tan Blow-wave in the hair Sure they’re all straight - straight as a line All the gays are macho Can’t you see their leather shine You don’t want to sound dumb - don’t want to offend So don’t call me a faggot Not unless you are a friend Then if you’re tall and handsome and strong You can wear the uniform and I could play along And so it goes - go round again But now and then we wonder who the real men are Time to get scared - time to change plan Don’t know how to treat a lady Don’t know how to be a man Time to admit - what you call defeat ‘Cause there’s women running past you now And you just drag your feet Man makes a gun - man goes to war Man can kill and man can drink And man can take a whore Kill all the blacks - kill all the reds And if there’s war between the sexes Then there’ll be no people left And so it goes - go round again But now and then we wonder who the real men are 
New! From the German Strange Little Girl single: After All -David Bowie Please trip them gently, they don't like to fall, Oh by jingo There's no room for anger, we're all very small, Oh by jingo We're painting our faces and dressing in thoughts from the skies, from paradise But they think that we're holding a secretive ball. Won't someone invite them They're just taller children, that's all, after all Man is an obstacle, sad as the clown, Oh by jingo So hold on to nothing, and he won't let you down, Oh by jingo Some people are marching together and some on their own Quite alone Others are running, the smaller ones crawl But some sit in silence, they're just older children That's all, after all I sing with impertinence, shading impermanent chords, With my words I've borrowed your time and I'm sorry I called But the thought just occurred that we're nobody's children at all, after all Live your rebirth and do what you will, Oh by jingo Forget all I've said, please bear me no ill, Oh by jingo After all, after all Only Women Bleed -Alice Cooper Man's got his woman to take his seed He's got the power - oh She's got the need She spends her life through pleasing up her man She feeds him dinner or anything she can She cries alone at night too often He smokes and drinks and don't come home at all Only women bleed Only women bleed Only women bleed Man makes your hair gray He's your life's mistake All you're really lookin' for is an even break He lies right at you You know you hate this game He slaps you once in a while and you live and love in pain She cries alone at night too often He smokes and drinks and don't come home at all Only women bleed Only women bleed Only women bleed Only women bleed Only women bleed Only women bleed Black eyes all of the time Don't spend a dime Clean up this grime And you there down on your knees begging me please come Watch me bleed. Only women bleed Only women bleed Only women bleed Only women bleed Only women bleed Only women bleed |
