Faith vs Fear

'Your Faith has got to be greater than your Fear'

Lyrics to '11th Dimension' - by Julian Casablancas - taken from the Album 'Phrazes for the Young'

Muse - Undisclosed Desires (lyrics)

Editors - Papillon (Lyrics)

Papillon

Make our escape, your my own papillon
World turns to fast, feel love before it's gone
It kicks like a sleep twitch
My papillon feel love when it's shone

it kicks like a sleep twitch

Darling just don't put down your guns yet
If there really was a God here
He'd have raised a hand by now
Now darling your born get old and die here
Well that's quite enough for me
We'll find our own way home somehow

No sense of doubt, or what you could achieve
Well I found you out, I see the life you wish to leave
Well it kicks like a sleep twitch
You will choke , choke on the air you try to breathe
It kicks like a sleep twitch

Darling now just don't put down your guns yet
If there really was a God here
He'd have raised a hand by now
Darling ah your born get old and die here
Well that's quite enough from me dear
We'll find our own way home somehow
It kicks like a sleep twitch

It kicks like a sleep twitch

Devil in the Details - Lyrics - Placebo

I've been wasting all my time
With the devil in the details
I got no energy to fight
He's a fucking pal of mine
That devil in the details

And he's fixing up to take a bite
I don't see the point in trying
I got the devil in the details
He's gonna teach me wrong from right
That fucking pal of mine
The devil in the details
Well, I'm gonna dance with him tonight

All of my wrongs
No more wicked ways
Come back to haunt me, come what may
For all of the songs
I hoped to write someday
Looks like the devil's here to stay

Let me take you for a ride
With the devil in the details
We'll kiss and tremble with delight
Everything is fine
With the devil in the details
We're gonna dance with him tonight

All of my wrongs
No more wicked ways
Come back to haunt me, come what may
For all of the songs
I hoped to write someday
Looks like the devil's here to stay
Looks like the devil's here to stay

Looks like the devil's here to stay

All of my wrongs
No more wicked ways
Come back to haunt me, come what may
For all of the songs
I hoped to write someday
Looks like the devil's here to stay
Looks like the devil's here to stay

Looks like the devil's here to stay

I've been wasting all my time
With the devil in the details

Bloc Party - Biko (Lyrics)

BIKO

For my sweetheart the melancholic, you have crossed the river styx
And the waves have taken you away
As I lay my head on your chest, I can hear it in your veins
Wake me up when you come to bed

So toughen up
Biko toughen up
Biko toughen up
This world isn't kind to little things

(You're not doing this alone)

Was my love not strong enough to bring you back from the dead
If I could eat your cancer I would but I can't
So I keep writing these songs for you
To steal you from your grey
And we can dance in our front room again

So toughen up
Biko toughen up
Biko toughen up
I need you be strong for us
So toughen up
Biko toughen up
Biko toughen up
This world isn't kind to little things

(You're not doing this alone)

Don't you know that when you stand you stand up for the both of us
Remember that when the darkness looms
(You're not doing this alone)
Every tear you shed is cleansing, taking the pain away from you
I left you blueberries in the fridge, the little things that I can do

So toughen up,
Biko, toughen up (that I can do)
Biko, toughen up (that I can do)
I need you to be strong for us

So toughen up
Biko, toughen up
Biko, toughen up
This world isn't kind to little things

(You're not doing this alone)
(You're not doing this alone)
(You're not doing this alone)
(You're not doing this alone)
(You're not doing this alone)
(You're not doing this alone)

Resist!
Resist!
Resist!
Resist!

So toughen up (Resist! )
Biko, toughen up (Resist! )
Biko, toughen up (Resist! )
I need you to be strong for us (Resist! )

So toughen up (Resist! )
Biko, toughen up (Resist! )
Biko, toughen up (Resist! )
This world isn't kind to little things (Resist! )

(You're not doing this alone)
(You're not doing this alone)

Placebo -'For what it's Worth' Lyrics

Placebo - For what it's Worth

The end of the century
I said my goodbyes
For what it's worth
I always aim to please
But I nearly died
For what it's worth
Come on lay with me
Cos I'm on fire
For what it's worth
I'd tear the sun in three
To light up your eyes

For what it's worth
For what it's worth
For what it's worth
For what it's worth

Broke up the family
Everybody crying
For what it's worth
I have a slow disease
That sucked me dry

For what it's worth
Come on walk with me
Into the rising tide
For what it's worth
Fill the cavity
Your God shaped hole tonight

For what it's worth
For what it's worth
For what it's worth
For what it's worth

For what it's worth
For what it's worth
For what it's worth
For what it's worth

No-one cares when your out on the street
Picking up the pieces to make ends meet
No-one cares when your down in the gutter
Got no friends got no lover
No-one cares when your out on the street
Picking up the pieces to make ends meet
No-one cares when your down in the gutter
Got no friends got no lover

For what it's worth
Got no lover
For what it's worth
Got no lover
For what it's worth
Got no lover
For what it's worth
Got no lover
For what it's worth
Got no lover
For what it's worth
Got no lover
For what it's worth
Got no lover
Got no friends
Got no lover.

Right Where it Belongs - NIN (Lyrics)

Right Where it Belongs

See the animal in his cage that you built
Are you sure what side your on ?
Then I look to closely in the eye
Are you sure what side of the glass you are on ?
See the safety of the life you have built
Everything where it belongs
Feel the hollowness inside of your heart
And it's all ............Right where it belongs

What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems
What if all the world you think you know
Is an elaborate dream
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want to be ?
But if you could look right through the cracks
Would you find yourself.......Find yourself afraid to see

What if all the world's inside of your head
Just creations of your own
Your devils and your gods all the living and the dead
And you really are alone

You can live in this illusion
You can choose to believe
You keep looking but you can't find the worlds
Are you hiding in your dreams ?

What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems
What if all the world you used to know
Is an elaborate dream
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want to be ?
But if you could look right through the cracks
Would you find yourself.......Find yourself afraid to see


NIN - 'Right Where it belongs' - Taken from the Album 'With Teeth' released in 2005.

Previous posting that reminded me of this track 'You Alone'

Minute Prologue.....(Musings on inability)

Minute Prologue.

I've been listening to all the dissention
I've been listening to all the pain

And I feel that no matter what I do for you
It's gonna come back again

But I think that I can heal it
but I think that I can heal it
I'm a fool that I think I can heal it
With this song......

Taken from the Album 'Live Songs (1973)' by Leonard Cohen

You Know Me........?

WISH

This is the first day of my last day
Build it up now take it apart climbed up real high now fall down real far.
No need for me to stay the last thing left I just threw it away.
(?) my trust in you
Now there's something more fucked up I could do

Wish there was something real ,wish there was something true
Wish there was something real in this world for you.

I'm the one without a soul, I'm the one with this big fucking hole.
No new tale to tell twenty-six years on my way to hell.
Big time hard line bad luck fist fuck
Don't think you're having all the fun
You know me I hate everyone

Wish there was something real ,wish there was something true
Wish there was something real in this world for you.

Wish there was something real ,wish there was something true
Wish there was something real in this world for you.

Wish there was something real ,wish there was something true
Wish there was something real in this world for you.

This world for you
This world for you
This world for ......

You can have the hate that it brings

You can have my everything"

Mama Lay softly on the Riverbed (Lyrics) - "Years of refusal" -Morrissey

Mama why did you do it?
mama who drove you to it ?
Was it the pigs in grey suits persecuting you
uncivil servants unconcerned by how they frightened you
life is nothing much to loose
It's just so lonely here without you


Mama why did you do it?
mama who drove you to it ?


(?) british money men who scared the life out of you
bailiffs with bad breathe I will slit their throats for you
life is nothing much to loose
It's just so lonely here without you


life is nothing much to loose
It's just so lonely here without you
(soooo)
I want you
When I come to you
we're going to lie down beside you mama
we're going to met you
We're going to join you
we're going to lie down beside you mama
and we will be safe and sheltered in our graves
we'll come before you and we will kiss you
by way of one fine (?) mama

Morrissey - 'Mama lay softly on the Riverbed' taken from the forthcoming album 'Years of Refusal' Released 2009

Snippets...of lyrics.

"Nothing in this world is for real,
Except you are for me, and I am so yours"

Marilyn Manson - 'Ka-Boom Ka-Boom'

Say Farewell.....

'Say farewell to your fair-weather friends , and not a second to soon'

Morrissey 'No-one can hold a candle to you'

Morrissey- 'One day goodbye will be farewell' lyrics

'One day goodbye will be farewell'

Always be careful when you abuse the one you love hour or the day no-one can tell
But one day goodbye will be farewell
And you will never see the one you love again
You will never see the the one you love again

I have been thinking -what with- my final brain cell
How time grips you slyly in it's spell
And before you know goodbye will be farewell

And you will never see the one you love again
And the tiny children tell you that you smell
Well just look at me, a stubborn beast I've got nothing to sell
And when I die I want to go to hell

And that's when goodbye should be farewell
taa tah taa tah

One day goodbye will be farewell
So grab me while you still can - goodbye


Taken from the 'Live' version of the track - so no guarantee ppl that this is the final version to appear on 'Years of Refusal in Feb 09

Bloc Party - Talons Lyrics

Talons (Acoustic Version) lyrics



And in the dark it comes for me
Malevolent and without thought
Uprooting trees, destroying cars
Cold and relentless, with arms outstretched

No boat nor brick
Nor crucifix can hold it back
For I've been wicked
I've been arrogant

And when it comes it will feel like a kiss (Silent about it)
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
And I cannot say that I was not warned or was misled
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss

Awaken from dreams of drunken car crashes
You saddened my friends and claimed all my lovers
I tried to stay still, so it will not see
It's talons rake the side of my face
When did you become such a slut? (A dirty slut)

And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
And I cannot say that I was not warned or was misled
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
It will feel like a kiss

And I didn't think I'd catch fire when I held my hand to the flame
And I didn't think they'd catch up as fast as we could have run
Fate came a knocking when I was looking the other way
A new disease came in the post for me today
For me today,for me today,for me today

And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
Silent and velvet
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
And when it comes
And when it comes
And when it comes
And when it comes
And when it comes
And when it comes
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss


(Bloc Party 2008)

Note the 'Standard release of this single - is nothing at all in 'mood' like this version, in my opinion this is the superior release.

Morrissey & Thoughts.....

'There is something I wanted to tell you, It's so funny you'll kill yourself laughing

But then I, I look around, And I remember that I am alone, Alone. For evermore........'

Quoted from the track 'Come Back to Camden' off the Album 'You Are the Quarry' by Morrissey

NIN 'We're in this Together' Lyrics

We're in This Together

I've become impossible

holding on to when

when everything seemed to matter more

the two of us

all used and beaten up

watching fate as it flows

down the path we have chose

You and me

we're in this together now

none of them can stop us now

we will make it through somehow

You and me

if the world should break in two

until the very end of me

until the very end of you

Awake to the sound

as they peel apart the skin

they pick and they pull

trying to get their fingers in

well they've got to kill what we've found

well they've got to hate what they fear

well they've got to make it go away

well they've got to make it disappear

The farther I fall I'm beside you

as lost as I get I will find you

the deeper the wound I'm inside you

for ever and ever I am a part of...

You and me

we're in this together now

none of them can stop us now

we will make it through somehow

You and me

if the world should break in two

until the very end of me

until the very end of you

All that we were is gone we have to hold on

all that we were is gone we have to hold on

all that we were is gone we have to hold on

all that we were is gone

but we can hold on.....

You and me

we're in this together now

none of them can stop us now

we will make it through somehow

You and me

even after everything

you're the queen and I'm the king

nothing else means anything

Verve 'Love is Noise' Lyrics

Love is Noise

Will those feet in modern times
Walk on soles that are made in China?
Feel the bright prosaic malls
And the corridors that go on and on and on

Are we blind can we see?
We are one incomplete
Are we blind in the city?
Waiting Politely to be saved in

Cause love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I'm singing again
Love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues I'm singing again, again, again, again, again

Will those feet in modern times
Understand this world's affliction?
Recognize the righteous anger
Understand this world's addiction

I was blind couldn't see
What was here in me
I was blind, insecure
Felt like the road's way too long, yeah

Cause love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I'm singing again
Love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I'm singing again
Love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I'm feeling again
Love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I'm singing again, again, again, again, again, again, again


Cause love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that your feeling again
Love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I'm singing again, again, again, again

Will those feet in modern times
Walk on soles made in China?
Will those feet in modern times
See the bright prosaic malls?
Will those feet in modern times
Recognize every buddha?
Will those feet in modern times
Pardon me from my sins?
Love is noise

'Love is Noise' is released in the Uk on 4th of August 2008
Taken from the Album 'Forth' to be released in the UK on 25th August 2008.

Interesting thing about these lyrics is either I've got the wrong Verve 'video' for this tune or everybody else is just plagiarizing the wrong lyrics. Because the ones that are out there do not tie in with the 'Single' release ...unless those lyrics are for an extended/Album mix?
