The Essential Bands : Nme Presents [compilation] (2008) by Various Artists (보컬) on maniadb.com

Sooooooooooooooooooooooo
Everything is average nowadays
Everything is average nowadays
Everyone would do it if they can
And everything is going down the pan
And everyone is following the craze
And everything is average

Now you say it's getting better
But I don't really see the signs
Said it is too different
You thought it would be suicide

Not much to believe in
Left up on a shelf
So get your coats we're leaving
We'll just do something else

Ohhhh Everything is average nowadays
Everything is average nowadays
And everything is of no consequence
Cos everyone is sitting on the fence
And everything will always stay the same
Cos everything is average

Now you said you didn't mean it
You threw away the book of rules
You thought that we should read it
I wouldn't even know how to

Not much to believe in
Left up on the shelf
So get your coats we're leaving
We'll just do something else

All I need is a ball and a wall
Or a sledge and a hill in heavy weather
All I need is a ball and a wall
A sledge and a hill in heavy weather

Oh oh oh oh ~

Not much to believe in
Left up on the shelf
So get your coats we're leaving
We'll just do something else

Everything is average nowadays
Everything is average nowadays
Everyone would do it if they can
And everything is going down the pan
And everyone is following the craze
And everything is average nowadays

(Come with me)

We took a back road, we're gonna look at the stars
We took a back road in my car
Down to the ocean, it's only water and sand
And in the ocean, we'll hold hands
But I don't really like you
Apologetically dressed in the best
Put on a heartbeat glide
Without an answer, the thunder speaks for the sky
And on the cold, wet dirt I cry
And on the cold, wet dirt I cry

Don't you wanna come with me?
Don't you wanna feel my bones
On your bones?
It's only natural

This cinematic vision ensues
Like the holiest dream
There's someone calling, an angel whispers my name
But the message relayed is the same

(Wait 'til tomorrow you'll be fine)
But it's gone to the dogs in my mind
Always hear them when the dead of night
Comes calling to save me from this fight
But they can never wrong this right

Don't you wanna come with me?
Don't you wanna feel my bones
On your bones?
It's only natural
Don't you wanna swim with me?
Don't you wanna feel my skin
On your skin?
It's only natural

(Never had a lover)
I never had a lover
(Never had soul)
I never had soul
(Never had a good time)
And I never had a good time
(Never got bold)
I never got bold

Don't you wanna come with me?
Don't you wanna feel my bones
On your bones?
It's only natural
Don't you wanna swim with me?
Don't you wanna feel my skin
On your skin?
It's only natural

Don't you wanna come with me?
Don't you wanna feel my bones
On your bones?
It's only natural
Come and take a swim with me
Don't you wanna feel my skin
On your skin?
It's only natural

Your back's against the wall
There's no one home to call
You're forgetting who you are
You can't stop crying
It's part not giving in
Part trusting your friends
You do it all again and I'm not lying

Oh oh oh
Standing in the way of control
Standing in the way of control
Standing in the way of control
Standing in the way of control

I'm doing this for you
Because it's easier to lose
And it's hard to face the truth
When you think you're dying
It's part not giving in
Part trusting your friends
You do it all again but you don't stop trying

Oh oh oh
Standing in the way of control
Standing in the way of control
Standing in the way of control
Standing in the way of control

Standing in the way of control
We live our lives
Because of standing in the way of control
We will live our lives
Because of standing in the way of control
We live our lives
Because of standing in the way of control
We will live our lives, lives, lives, lives on

Your back's against the wall
There's no one home to call
You're forgetting who you are
You can't stop crying
It's part not giving in
Part trusting your friends
You do it all again, you don't stop trying

Standing in the way of control
Standing in the way of control
Standing in the way of control
Standing in the way of control
Standing in the way of control
Standing in the way of control
Standing in the way of control
Standing in the way of control

Because of standing in the way of control
Because of standing in the way of control
We will live our lives, lives, lives, lives on

Oh, one more drink and then I'll goes
But there's one more thing I've got to know
Does he take you places that I don't?
And what happened to the story that we wrote?

You just say you don't know
You don't know
Oh no you don't know
You don't know

Woo

Oh, let's just get this whole thing straight
I don't wanna kidnap the truth and negotiate
Or miss the point they met you
Just wanna hear you say something that you believe to be true

But you say you don't know
You don't know
You just say you don't know
You don't know
What it feels like
What it feels like

And so I'll go before I fall to pieces
Yes I'll go before I fall to pieces

Now I'm just waiting for something that might never come
If it's a million to one shot I'll make sure I'm the one
Seems that nothing is safe, except the truth turns to lies
Never figured it out or found out why

So I'll go
Yes I'll go
Yes I'll go
Yes I'll go
Oh baby I'll go
Oh yes I'll go
Yes I'll go
Oh yes I'll go
Before I fall to pieces
Before I fall to pieces
Yes I'll go before I fall to pieces
Yes I'll go before I fall to pieces

Ohhhhhhh Ohhh Ohhh
Ohhhhhhhhhhh Ohh Ohh
Ohhhhhhh Ohhh Ohhh

Shoot the runner, shoot shoot the runner
I'm a king and she's my queen
Shoot the runner, shoot shoot the runner
I'm a king and she's my queen

Dream, dream again in your way
Always knew that you would
Lose yourself to the scene
Am I only a dream

Shoot the runner, shoot shoot the runner
I'm a king and she's my queen, bitch

Bang, bang away with my chang
Always know that I can
Get you on to the floor
Absinthe make you a whore

Shoot the runner, shoot shoot the runner
I'm a king and she's my queen
Shoot the runner, shoot shoot the runner
I'm a king and she's my queen, bitch

Kings, kings they come and they go
By this sword you must know
All things come and then pass
Live your days like the rest

Aahh.. And you're my queen, that's it
Shoot shoot the runner
Cause I'm a King and you're my Queen, bitch.

Far away
This ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

Starlight
I will be chasing the starlight
Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms

My life
You electrify my life
Let's conspire to ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel alive

But I'll never let you go
If you promised not to fade away
Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms

Far away
This ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

And I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms
I just wanted to hold

I feel the cold setting in
I feel the goosebumps all over my skin
I start to fear the worst, I'm feeling so alone
I shouldn't feel like this in my own home

Feels like my teeth are falling out
From all the gibberish that's been pouring out my mouth
What was I thinking? What was I doing with that milf?
My chin is exhausted, man it was time for filth

And it's not a good way to start the day
I know it's done me no good
I don't wanna face the world, though I know I should
Tell myself I won't do it again, but I know I will be
Lying in my bed my thoughts racing

Like they always have been
Like they always will be
Like they always have been
Like they always will be

And I feel that chill back in the air
Though I can't see no one, I feel their stares
They've sussed me out my name, know everything I've done
And this could be our secret, if they just don't tell no one

And it's not a good way to start the day
I know it's done me no good
I don't wanna face the world, though I know I should
Tell myself I won't do it again, but I know I will be
Lying in my bed my thoughts racing

Like they always have been
Like they always will be
Like they always have been
Like they always will be
Like they always have been

And the sun's gone down and I'd love it to rise
Lets me know that I've survived
Every noise runs down my spine
Keep the clock to check the time

I need to talk, need conversation
Rack my brain for explanations
Need you here just holding me
Shield me so they'll leave me be

But that's the way I'll always be
And that's the way it's always been
And that's the way it'll always be

It's not a good way to start the day
I know it's done me no good
I don't wanna face the world, though I know I should
Tell myself I won't do it again, but I know I will be
Lying in my bed my thoughts racing
Like they always have been

Not a good way to start the day
I know it's done me no good
I don't wanna face the world, though I know I should
I tell myself I won't do it again, but I know I will be
Lying in my bed my thoughts racing

Like they always have been
Like they always will be
Like they always have been
Like they always will be
Like they always have been

I'm gonna make it bend and break
It sent you to me without wait
Say a prayer
but let the good times roll
In case god doesn't show
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
And i want these words
to make things right
But it's for wrongs that
make the words come to life
Who does he think he is
If that's the worst you got
better put your fingers
back to the keys
One night and one more time
Thanks for the memories
Even though they weren't so great
He tastes like you
Only sweeter
One night and yeah one more time
Thanks for the memories
Thanks for the memories
See he tastes like you
Only sweeter

Been looking forward to the future
But my eyesight is going back
In these crystal balls
It's always cloudy
Except for when you
look into the past
One night stand
One night stand
One night and one more time
Thanks for the memories
Even though they weren't so great
He tastes like you
Only sweeter
One night and yeah one more time
Thanks for the memories
Thanks for the memories
See he tastes like you
Only sweeter
They say I only think in the
form of crunching numbers
in hoter rooms Collecting
patient lovers
Get me out of my mind
Get you out of those clothes
I'm a letter away
From getting you into the mood
Whoa
One night and one more time
Thanks for the memories
Even though they weren't so great
He tastes like you
Only sweeter
One night and yeah one more time
Thanks for the memories
Thanks for the memories
See he tastes like you
Only sweeter
One night and one more time
Thanks for the memories
Even though they weren't so great
He tastes like you
Only sweeter
One night and yeah one more time
Thanks for the memories
Thanks for the memories
See he tastes like you
Only sweeter

She's a loaded gun
In my shaking hand
Am I in hell
Or the promise land?

So I'll tell you my name when I'm on your skin

(I'll show you mine)
Now watch out watch out!!

(Show me yours)
I said a yeah yeah yeah yeah yeaaaaaaaah!
(All in time)

Our ambition got cast aside
Thrown away when the batteries died
And you'll start to compromise
Just to get to the other side

But, it's always for the best
And if you're not convinced
Then you'll get left behind
I lost, interest

It doesn't seem like you mean it
I don't believe, that you believe it
And it feels like running with your eyes closed
If you forget what you're supposed to be

It doesn't seem like you mean it
I don't believe, that you believe it
And it feels like running with your eyes closed
If you forget what you're supposed to be

Let's go see Raoul
Let's go see Raoul
Let's go see Raoul
(Let's make a stand)
Let's go see Raoul
(For all the ones who)
Let's go see Raoul
(Used to give a damn)
Let's go see Raoul
(Working over time)

Our ambitions got cast aside
Thrown away when the batteries died
And you'll start to compromise
Just to get to the other side

It doesn't seem like you mean it
I don't believe, that you believe it
And it feels like running with your eyes closed
If you forget what you're supposed to be

It doesn't seem like you mean it
I don't believe, that you believe it
And it feels like running with your eyes closed
If you forget what you're supposed to be

Let's go see Raoul
Let's go see Raoul
Let's go see Raoul
Let's go see Raoul
In the family place
Let's go see Raoul
Let's go see Raoul
Let's go see Raoul
Let's go see Raoul
Let's go see Raoul
Let's go see Raoul
Let's go see Raoul

It doesn't seem like you mean it
I don't believe, that you believe it
And it feels like running with your eyes closed
If you forget what you're supposed to be

Let's go back to work (Repeats until end of song)

Why is that stand so still? (still)
People gonna start thinking we're statues (aha)
This silence is disturbing me
People talk but I can't hear

I'm off the hook (Auuuh)
Off the hook
I think I'm off the hook, babe
Off the hook

Let's find us both a place to sit
The more I talk the more my bones get heavy
The silence is disturbing me
Don't they know I can't read lips?

I'm off the hook (Auuuh)
Off the hook
I think I'm off the hook, babe
Off the hook
Off the hook
yeah..

Yeah, you were right this is really fun
I never got this dumb before


I'm off the hook (Auuuh)
Off the hook
I think I'm off the hook, babe
Off the hook

Why is that stand so still?
People gonna start thinking we're statues
The silence is disturbing me
People talk but I can't hear
I'm off the hook

You wear my favourite shoes

If there's somebody waiting
So you'll hold yourself up and you'll hold yourself in
And then pray that you are growing

And turn to this
Darkness
You turn it into light, and you'll turn too bright
Forget all the hype

You'll need heart and I'll need courage
We all need time

So let's make time work for us

Are you still mine?

Careless in our summer

Well did you hear, there's a natural order.
Those most deserving will end up with the most.
That the cream cannot help but always rise up to the top,
Well I say: Shit floats.
If you thought things had changed,
Friend you'd better think again,
Bluntly put in the fewest of words,
Cunts are still running the world,
Cunts are still running the world.

Now the working classes are obsolete,
They are surplus to societies needs,
So let ‘em all kill each other,
And get it made overseas.
That's the word don't you know,
From the guys thats running the show,
Lets be perfectly clear boys and girls,
Cunts are still running the world,
Cunts are still running the world.

Oh feed your children on Cray fish and Lobster tails,
Find a school near the top of the league,
In theory I respect your right to exist,
I will kill ya if you move in next to me,
Ah it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust,
But the takings are up by a third, Oh So
Cunts are still running the world,
Cunts are still running the world.

Your free market is perfectly natural,
Or do you think that I'm some kind of dummy,
It's the ideal way to order the world,
Fuck the morals, does it make any money?
And if you don't like it? Then leave.
Or use your right to protest on the street,
Yeah, use your rights but don't imagine that it's heard, Oh no no,
Cunts are still running the world,
Cunts are still running the world.

the busker man
when he's drowned
all his sorrows
in singing songs
Not everything has worked

But believe me he's smiling

So

Reflecting back at you someone

Come on with me through ruined lipglock
Accross Tangian deserts we'll flock
Madcap Medusa Flank my Foghorn
We'll change four seasons with our first born.

All ships of sense on hyper scean
All kytes of chaos still in motion
My culture vulture such a DAB hand
I'll steal you from the year 4000

Come with me, come with me
We'll travel to infinity
I'll always be there : uh oh : My Futrue Love
I'll always be there, for you : My Future Love

Your tears leave trails of TIK, VAN, LoofAutonoma
: the rubix groom hoom
Those crippled lines
that I can't get to would fall through time
but I won't let you

Come with me, come with me
We'll travel to infinity
I'll always be there : uh oh : My Futrue Love
I'll always be there, for you : My Future Love

I'm not a man
I'm a machine
Chisel me down until I am clean
I buy books I never read
And then I tell you some more about me!

Beneath the concrete there's a sound
A muffled cry below the ground
There is a poison in the air
A mix of chemicals and fear
My words are just hunches
I'm not sure what they mean
You're asking for commitment when I'm somewhere in between

Never, never try to gauge temperature when you tend to travel at such speed
It's our velocity
Is it cold where you are this time of year?
You didn't leave a scar

A stream of numbers hit a screen and you're expected to know what they mean
Throughout the conflict I was serene
I can't outrun the sadness I've seen
Are you willing to resist for people you've never met?
The devil's wheel revolves but it needs to be reset

Never, never try to gauge temperature when you tend to travel at such speed
It's our velocity
Please tell me, is it cold where you are this time of year?
You didn't leave a scar

I've got no-one to call in the middle of the night anymore
I'm just alone with these thoughts
I've got no-one to call in the middle of the night anymore
I'm just alone with my thoughts

I watched a film to change my feelings
I'm strong enough to bear a burden
If everyone became this sensitive, I wouldn't have to be so sensitive
If everyone became so sensitive, perhaps I wouldn't be so sensitive

Love is a lie
Which means I've been lied to
Love is a lie
Which means I've been lying too
Love is a lie
Which means I've been lied to
Love is a lie

I've got no-one to call in the middle of the night anymore
I'm just alone with these thoughts
I've got no-one to call in the middle of the night anymore
I'm just alone with my thoughts

Never, never try to gauge temperature when you tend to travel at such speed
It's our velocity

Lord give me grace and dancing feet
And the power to impress
Lord give me grace and dancing feet
Let me outshine the moon

Is it so wrong to crave recognition?
Second best, runner-up
Is it so wrong to want rewarding?
To want more than is given to you?
Than is given to you

Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle them with my wit
Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle, I will outshine them all

Standing on the packed dance floor
Our bodies thrown in time
Silent on the weekdays
Tonight I claim what's mine

Is it so wrong to crave recognition?
Second best, runner-up
Is it so wrong to want rewarding?
To want more than is given to you?
Than is given to you

Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle them with my wit
Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle, I will outshine them all

Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle them with my wit
Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle, I will outshine them all

Why do I have to fly
over every town
up and down the line
I'll die in the clouds above
and you that I defend
I do not love
I wake up it's a bad dream
No one on my side
I was fighting
But I just feel too tired
to be fighting
guess I'm not the fighting kind

Where will I meet my fate
Baby I'm a man
I was born to hate And
when will I meet my end
In a better time
you could be my friend
I wake up it's a bad dream
No one on my side
I was fighting
But I just feel too tired
to be fighting
guess I'm not the fighting kind
Wouldn't mind it
if you were by my side
But you're long gone
yeah you're long gone now

Where do we go
I don't even know
My strange old face
And thinking about those days
And thinking about those days

I wake up it's a bad dream
No one on my side
I was fighting
But I just feel too tired
to be fighting
guess I'm not the fighting kind
Wouldn't mind it
if you were by my side
But you're long gone
yeah you're long gone now

All the signs are there
I did not exist
Underneath the stars
and comets
Far beneath the sun
Eyes can see
Anything they want to believe
I
I was breathing on the
oxygen that's left
I surrender
Put my hands up in the air
I waited for you there
But you left
an everlasting breath
I saw the cold air
You wrap me up that way
With all the love
in your hands
Oh

I believe in love
Because of you
Everything is broke
inside now
Watch me in a daze
Seconds knew
That I fall apart without you
I
I was breathing on the
oxygen that's left
I surrender
Put my hands up in the air
I waited for you there
But you left
an everlasting breath
I saw the cold air
You wrap me up that way
With all the love
in your hands
I

So let the people talk
It's Monday morning walk
Right past the fabulous mess we're in
It's gonna be a beautiful day
So do the bluebirds sing
As I take your hand
And you take my kiss
And I take the world
'Cause out of all the people I've known
The places I've been
The songs that I have sung
The wonders I've seen
Now that the dreams are all coming true
Who is the one that leads me on through

It's you
Who puts me in the magic position, darling now
You put me in the magic position
To live, to learn, to love in the major key

And I know how you've hurt

And been dragged through the dirt
But c'mon get back up
It's the time to live
So give your love to me
I'm gonna keep it carefully
Deep in the treasure chest below my breast
'Cause out of all the people I've known
The places I've been
The songs that I have sung
The wonders I've seen
Now that the dreams are all coming true
Who is the one that leads me on through

It's you
Who puts me in the magic position, darling now
You put me in the magic position, darling now
Let me put you in the magic position, darling
'Cause I'm singing in the, the major key

Let me put you in the major key

Your class, your caste, your country, sect,
your name or your tribe
There's people always dying trying to keep them alive
There's bodies decomposing in containers tonight
In an abandoned building where
Squatters made a mural of a Mexican girl
With fifteen cans of spray paint and a chemical swirl
She's standing in the ashes at the end of the world
Four winds blowing through her hair
But when great Satan's gone... the Whore of Babylon...
She just can't sustain the pressure where it's placed
She caves
The Bible's blind, the Torah's deaf, the Qur'an's mute
If you burned them all together you'd get close to the truth still
They're pouring over Sanskrit on the Ivy League moons
While shadows lengthen in the sun
Cast all the school and meditation built to soften the times
And hold us at the center while the spiral unwinds
It's knocking over fences crossing property lines
Four Winds, cry until it comes
And it's the Sum of Man slouching towards Bethlehem
A heart just can't contain all of that empty space
It breaks. It breaks. It breaks.

Well I went back by rented Cadillac and company jet
Like a newly orphaned refugee retracing my steps
All the way to Cassadaga to commune with the dead
They said, ""You'd better look alive""
And I was off to old Dakota where a genocide sleeps
In the Black Hills, the Badlands, the calloused East
I buried my ballast. I made my peace.
Heard Four Winds, leveling the pines
But when great Satan's gone... the Whore of Babylon...
She just can't remain with all that outer space
She breaks. She breaks. She caves. She caves.*

We danced together on the roof at the party,
5 stories removed from the trouble on the street
The sun arose revealing goose bumps on your arm
A sign that we should move together somewhere warm.

[Chorus]
We danced together [Repeat]

We moved to the street where they tried to hold curfew
And ran among the debris as the bullets flew.
Helicopters circled overhead to get a better view
We found a doorway, fell in and I held you.

[Chorus]

We didn't have no where to go
Waiting for the daylight to begin
Singer, save our secular souls
How can you have hope with no God?

We didn't give a shit about what they would say...
And stayed up until the light turned our world/eyes grey.
We caned our money like it was our last day
Two fingers up at those who wont miss us when we pass away
