Muse - Undisclosed Desires (lyrics)

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)

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

Placebo 'Soulmates' Lyrics

Soulmates

The sea's evaporated,
Though it comes as no surprise
These clouds we're seeing,
They're explosions in the sky
It seems it's written,
But we can't read between the line

Hush, it's okay, dry your eye
Dry your eye
Soulmate dry your eye
Dry your eye
Soulmate dry your eye,
Soulmates never die

~This one world vision turns us into compromise~
What good's religion when it's each other we despise?
Damn the government damn their killing, damn their lies
~It's okay~

Dry your eyes
Soulmate dry your eyes
Dry your eyes
Soulmate dry your eyes,
cos' soulmates never die

Soulmates never die
Soulmates never die
Soulmates never die
Soulmates never die


Never die


Soulmates never die
Soulmates never die

Leonard Cohen 'Avalanche' Lyrics

Avalanche

I stepped into an avalanche,
it covered up my soul
when I am not this hunchback that you see,
I sleep beneath the golden hill.
You who wish to conquer pain,
you must learn, learn to serve me well.


You strike my side by accident
as you go down for your gold.
The cripple here that you clothe and feed
is neither starved nor cold;
he does not ask for your company,
not at the centre, the centre of the world.


When I am on a pedestal,
you did not raise me there.
Your laws do not compel me
to kneel grotesque and bare.
I myself am the pedestal
for this ugly hump at which you stare.


You who wish to conquer pain,
you must learn what makes me kind;
the crumbs of love that you offer me,
they're the crumbs I've left behind.
Your pain is no credential here,
it's just the shadow, shadow of my wound.


I have begun to long for you,
I who have no greed;
I have begun to ask for you,
I who have no need.
You say you've gone away from me,
but I can feel you when you breathe.


Do not dress in those rags for me,
I know you are not poor;
don't love me quite so fiercely now
when you know that you are not sure,
it is your turn, beloved,
it is your flesh that I wear.

Taken from the Album 'Songs of Love and Hate' 1971 Leonard Cohen

"They locked up a man
Who wanted to rule the world
The fools
They locked up the wrong man"

Keane 'Try Again' Lyrics

Try Again

I fell asleep on a late night train
I missed my stop and I went round again
Why would I want to see you now?
To fix it up, make it up somehow

Baby I'll try again, try again
Baby I die every night, every time

What I was isn't what I am
I'd change back but I don't know if I can

Still I'll try, try again, try again
Baby I die every night, every time

But I was made the way I am
I'm not a stone; I'm just a man
Lay down your arms and I will lay down mine
Rip back the time that we've been wasting

God I wish you could see me now
You'd pick me up and you'd sort me out

Still I'll try, try again, try again
Baby I die every night, every time



From the Album 'Under the Iron Sea'

Keane "On a Day like today" Lyrics

"On a day like today"

On a day like today
I looked at you and I
Saw something in the way
You stared into the sky
I saw you
Were sick and tired of my wrong turns
If you only knew
The way I feel
I'd really love to tell you but I,

Could never seem to say the things I needed to
On a day like today no other words would do

I saw you
Were sick and tired of my wrong turns
If you only knew
The way I feel
I'd really love to tell you but I,

Can never find the words to say and I don't know why
I can't find the words to say and I don't know why
I can't find the words to say and I don't know why
I can't find the words to say and I don't know why

And I don't know why....
And I don't know why....
And I don't Know why....

I saw you...
Were sick and tired of my wrong turns
If you only knew
The way I feel
I'd really love to tell you but I.....
Can never find the words to say
And I don't know why
I can't find the words to say
And I don't know why....
