-
Needs you like she needs her pills to tell her that the world's OK- Sisters of Mercy, Alice -
You can keep your Marxist ways for it's only just a phase- Monty Python - The Money Song -
Every time I look in your eyes I see St. Peter wave- They Might Be Giants, Dig My Grave - There's nothing to do so pack up your bags and join the back of the queue this time
-
I'm as honest as the day is long, the longer the daylight, the less I do wrong - Madness, Shut Up - An emotional charge like an electrical spark, but the fuses are two, you can't tell them apart
- The question is big, the question is wide, I can't see around it I see only one side
- Days in silence try my temper, nights spent drinking to remember
- There were fireworks over London. You weren't among them anymore
- The truth unwinding, scraping away at my mind, please stop asking me to describe
-
And though I once preferred a human being’s company, they pale before the monolith that towers over me- They Might Be Giants, The Statue Got Me High -
Telephone box Red on grey Six three two three double 'O' three- OMD, Red Frame White Light -
I'm a bull not a bear, a millionaire- James, (Just Like) Fred Astaire -
I'm on warm milk and laxatives cherry-flavored antacids- Nirvana, Pennyroyal Tea - hey did any of you freaks here ever remember lenny? i can't remember his last name, he's turned to dust now, one of the chosen few
- I'd shed blood for you/ The north star in the firmament/ You shine the most bright
I've seen you draped in an electric veil/ Shrouded in celestial light -
At school they taught me how to be so pure in thought and word and deed. They didn't quite succeed- Pet Shop Boys, It's a Sin - We needed something to move and fill up the space. We needed something that always is just the case
- Abandon faith and then belief
-
She sleeps with the covers down, Hopin' that somebody gets in. Doesn't matter what she does, She knows that she can't win.- Kinks, Suzannah's Still Alive - Some have teeth and some have hair. Some have soft sweet petals, some look like Cher
-
That weren't no D.J. that was hazy cosmic jive- David Bowie, Starman - The moon... beautiful The sun... even more beautiful
- I thought she was the girl for me. I was so taken by her personality
- Am I a slut? Wow this is even better than a movie
- You're just a oil slick on the drag strip. You're just a skid mark on the speedway
-
These are my salad days, slowly being eaten away,just another play for today- Spandau BAllet, Gold - Things cross your mind, you can't help it. What you said, what I said, what you did, what I did.
- Back in the days when the battles raged and we thought it was nothing
-
In the fattest largest cloud up there. He's whiter than white and cleaner then clean.- Sugarcubes, Deus - He said the record wouldn't have to be hot and no-one ever seemed to care if it's not
-
See the young man in his new gown talking up to his bouffant drag- Bauhaus, Small Talk Stinks - Well close your breath and hold your eyes, turn the corner of surprise
- But to send you to Antarctica to face your certain death was a very, very heartless thing to do
-
I'm throwing off the shadow of a better man now what you see is what you never had- Sisters of Mercy, When you don't see me -
She said you'll get me when I'm old and wizened and not a day before that- Morphine, Honey White - When he's had enough of that, maybe you'll take him to bed
To teach him he's alive before he wishes he was dead -
Gimme something strong and I'll sing this song- Young Gods, Skinflowers - Girl with a curl with a sweet sweet ribbon in her hair she's calling out a window cos her daddy just don't care
-
If you need a second opinion as you seem to do these days you can look in my eyes and you can count the ways- I want you, Elvis Costello & the Attractions -
Dredged in flour and deep fat fried and cooled on paper towels and then devoured- Morphine, Sharks -
purple pie pete your lips are like lightning girls melt in the heat- T Rex, Telegram Sam -
You float like a feather in a beautiful world- Radiohead, Creep -
I got a reason for the devil inside you know Get a ticket, get a gun and we'll run the show- PWEI, Ruff Justice, Ruff Law - 'Cos I got the real love, the kind that you need , you'll come running back to me
- She said, it's hard, it's just hard, it's kinda hard to say
- My wife's getting lazy going gadget crazy wants a pallette shaped coffee table and a matching settee
-
he wears a sticky white shirt and tie in those viscose clothes his watch-hand glows- John Foxx, He's a Liquid -
I shouldn't be up at this time but I can't sleep with you there by my side- The Boo Radleys, Wake Up Boo - If you're looking for trouble that's what you will find. Mom and pop, they will fuck you, for sure.
