Soundtrack

A collection of songs to bookmark a memorable season of my life.

[Tracklist in alphabetical order]

BELOVED

[Artist: VNV Nation]

it’s colder than before
the seasons took all they had come for
now winter dances here
it seems so fitting don’t you think?
to dress the ground in white
and grey

it’s so quiet I can hear
my thoughts touching every second
that I spent waiting for you
circumstances afford me
no second chance to tell you
how much I’ve missed you

my beloved do you know
when the warm wind comes again
another year will start to pass
and please don’t ask me why I’m here
something deeper brought me
than a need to remember

we were once young and blessed with wings
no heights could keeps us from their reach
no sacred place we did not soar
still greater things burned within us
I don’t regret the choices that I’ve made
I know you feel the same

my beloved do you know
how many times I stared at clouds
thinking that I saw you there
these are feelings that do not pass so easily
I can’t forget what we claimed was ours

moments lost though time remains
I am so proud of what we were
no pain remains, no feeling
eternity awaits
grant me wings that I might fly
my restless soul is longing
no pain remains, no feeling
eternity awaits

BLUE MOON

[Artist: Silke Bischoff]

remember the waves that come and go
I can smell the sea
I can taste the sky
The dream lives for the dream itself
And I take it to the moon
Blue moon
I should have better stayed at home
I wish I would be all alone
Disconnected for some years
All those tears

I should have better stayed at home
I wish I would be all alone
Disconnected for some years
All those tears
Remember the years
I didn’t really miss you
Remember the tears
I can hear your voice
I can see your face
Remember the years
I didn’t really miss you
Remember the years
Hello and goodbye

CLOUDBUSTING

[Artist: Kate Bush]

I still dream of Orgonon.
I wake up crying.
You’re making rain,
And you’re just in reach,
When you and sleep escape me.

You’re like my yo-yo
That glowed in the dark.
What made it special
Made it dangerous,
So I bury it
And forget.

But every time it rains,
You’re here in my head,
Like the sun coming out
Ooh, I just know that something good is gonna happen.
And I don’t know when,
But just saying it could even make it happen.

On top of the world,
Looking over the edge,
You could see them coming.
You looked too small
In their big, black car,
To be a threat to the men in power.

I hid my yo-yo
In the garden.
I can’t hide you
From the government.
Oh, God, Daddy
I won’t forget,

‘Cause every time it rains,
You’re here in my head,
Like the sun coming out
Ooh, I just know that something good is gonna to happen.
And I don’t know when,
But just saying it could even make it happen.

And every time it rains,
You’re here in my head,
Like the sun coming out
Like your son’s coming out,
Ooh, I just know that something good is going to happen.
And I don’t know when,
But just saying it could even make it happen.
Ooh, just saying it could even make it happen.

We’ve been cloudbusting daddy

Your sun’s coming out. Your son’s coming out.

DANTE’S PRAYER

[Artist: Loreena McKennitt]

When the dark wood fell before me
And all the paths were overgrown
When the priests of pride say there is no other way
I tilled the sorrows of stone

I did not believe because I could not see
Though you came to me in the night
When the dawn seemed forever lost
You showed me your love in the light of the stars

Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me

Then the mountain rose before me
By the deep well of desire
From the fountain of forgiveness
Beyond the ice and fire

Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me

Though we share this humble path, alone
How fragile is the heart
Oh give these clay feet wings to fly
To touch the face of the stars

Breathe life into this feeble heart
Lift this mortal veil of fear
Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears
We’ll rise above these earthly cares

Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me
Please remember me

EVERYWHERE

[Artist: Cranes]

Don’t you know I care
Don’t you know that I’ll be there
As soft, as wide as air
Climb to the stars
Shine high up there

And fall into your stare
With all the colours I can wear
I’d touch you if I dare
And there’ll be angels everywhere

And when our body is bare
And everything is soft and clear
As close as we can bear
And all our love goes everywhere

And I know I could be lost
And always too soon it’s over
But there’s everything to feel
And there’s everything to discover

HAUNTED

[Artist: Type O Negative]

A swollen sun melting in the horizon
Between the sheets where I wait for her to come

A living flame, impossible to resist
Burning me deep with every bite, kiss and lick

I’m haunted
I’m haunted
I’m haunted (by her)

Invades my sleep with tumescent intentions
Hades I’m sure must be missing a demon

I, I hate the morning
I, I hate the morning

From the panes a green mist swirls
Is it a shadow of reflection?
This apparition in moon beams bathed
A voice like wind through trees beckons
Cool rain on hot summer stone
The odor fills my presence
Of freshly dug grave and death and night
These things are her essence
Nocturnal mistress, spirit lover
Your mouth of wine and wooksmoke taste
My goddess of the violet twilight
You are lust incarnate
In the sweat of my bed
The eastern sky hints of dawning
Alone and awake but exhausted I lie
Oh how I hate the morning

I, oh I hate the morning (light)
I, oh I, hate the morning (light)

HOW FORTUNATE THE MAN WITH NONE

[Artist: Dead Can Dance]

You saw sagacious Solomon
You know what came of him,
To him complexities seemed plain.
He cursed the hour that gave birth to him
And saw that everything was vain.
How great and wise was Solomon.
The world however did not wait
But soon observed what followed on.
It’s wisdom that had brought him to this state.
How fortunate the man with none.

You saw courageous Caesar next
You know what he became.
They deified him in his life
Then had him murdered just the same.
And as they raised the fatal knife
How loud he cried: you too my son!
The world however did not wait
But soon observed what followed on.
It’s courage that had brought him to that state.
How fortunate the man with none.

You heard of honest Socrates
The man who never lied:
They weren’t so grateful as you’d think
Instead the rulers fixed to have him tried
And handed him the poisoned drink.
How honest was the people’s noble son.
The world however did not wait
But soon observed what followed on.
It’s honesty that brought him to that state.
How fortunate the man with none.

Here you can see respectable folk
Keeping to God’s own laws.
So far he hasn’t taken heed.
You who sit safe and warm indoors
Help to relieve out bitter need.
How virtuously we had begun.
The world however did not wait
But soon observed what followed on.
It’s fear of god that brought us to that state.
How fortunate the man with none.

LOVED

[Artist: Cranes]

Try to hold on
Though it seems you can’t go on
You know that you can be strong
Find a way to carry on

And God bless your soul
In the heavens up above
If you can’t find a way
You must know that you are loved

Try to be strong
Find a way to carry on
I know you are brave
And I hope you find your way

Is there a reason why
the sky gets black at night and
Our hearts feel like stone
And you’re left to face this alone?

Try to be strong
Find a way to carry on
I know you are brave
And I hope you find your way
I know you are brave
And I hope you find your way

NO MORE TEARS

[Artist: Ozzy Osbourne]

The light in the window is a crack in the sky
A stairway to darkness in the blink of an eye
A levee of tears to learn she’ll never be coming back
The man in the dark will bring another attack

Your mamma told you that you’re not supposed
to talk to strangers
Look in the mirror and tell me do you think your
life’s in danger here

No more tears, tears, tears
No more tears, tears, tears
No more tears, tears, tears
No more tears, tears, tears

Another day passes as the night closes in
The red light goes on to say it’s time to begin

I see the man around the corner waiting,
can he see me?
I close my eyes and wait to hear the sound of
someone screaming here

No more tears, tears, tears
No more tears, tears, tears
No more tears, tears, tears
No more tears, tears, tears

It’s just a sign of the times
Going forward in reverse
Still, these were our first
It’s just a hand in the bush
A hand in the bush

So now that it’s over can’t we just say good-bye? (bye-bye, bye-bye)
I’d like to move on and make the most of the night
Maybe a kiss before I leave you this way
Your lips are so cold I don’t know what else to say

I never wanted it to end this way my love
my darling
Believe me when I say to you in love I think
Im falling here

No more tears, tears, tears
No more tears, tears, tears
No more tears, tears, tears
No more tears, tears, tears

It’s just a hand in the bush
(in the bush, in the bush, in the bush…)

NOXIOUS – THE DEMON’S GAME

[Artist: Corpus Delicti]

The Brand New Game Is Up To Come
A Sign Is All She Wants

When The Vices Go To Hellway,I Bring Up My Wine And Go There Again, Go There Again

Noxious Pleasures Run In My Hands, Give Me The Power

The Game Has Now Begun
A Dirty Damage In Our Fall
A Road With No Direction

To Build The Hate, The New Empire
A House Of Desperation

The Madness In Arms
Will Never Tear Our Hearts Apart
Our Love The Devils Passion

An The Flames Around My Neck Burn My Soul In The Demons Game, The Demons Game
The Strangest Disease Comes To My Head, Get Out And Get Out Of Here
Noxious Pleasures Run In My Hands, I Break The Empire

NUTSHELL

[Artist: Alice In Chains]

We chase misprinted lies
We face the path of time
And yet I fight
And yet I fight
This battle all alone
No one to cry to
No place to call home

Oooh…Oooh…
Oooh…Oooh…

My gift of self is raped
My privacy is raked
And yet I find
And yet I find
Repeating in my head
If I can’t be my own
I’d feel better dead

Oooh…Oooh…
Oooh…Oooh…

NYMPHETAMINE (FIX)

[Artist: Cradle of Filth]

Lead to the river
Midsummer, I waved
A ‘V’ of black swans
On with hope to the grave
All through Red September
With skies fire-paved
I begged you appear
Like a thorn for the holy ones

Cold was my soul
Untold was the pain
I faced when you left me
A rose in the rain
So I swore to the razor
That never, enchained
Would your dark nails of faith
Be pushed through my veins again

Bared on your tomb
I am a prayer for your loneliness
And would you ever soon
Come above unto me?
For once upon a time
From the binds of your lowliness
I could always find
The right slot for
your sacred key

Six feet deep is the incision
In my heart, that barless prison
Discolours all with tunnel vision
Sunsetter
Nymphetamine
Sick and weak from my condition
This lust, a vampyric addiction
To her alone in full submission
None better
Nymphetamine

Nymphetamine, nymphetamine
Nymphetamine girl
Nymphetamine, nymphetamine
My nymphetamine girl

Wracked with your charm
I am circled like prey
Back in the forest
Where whispers persuade
More sugar trails
More white lady laid
Than pillars of salt
(Keeping Sodom at night at bay)

Fold to my arms
Hold their mesmeric sway
And dance out to the moon
As we did in those golden days

Christening stars
I remember the way
We were needle and spoon
Mislaid in the burning hay

Bared on your tomb
I am a prayer for your loneliness
And would you ever soon
Come above unto me?
For once upon a time
From the binds of your holiness
I could always find
The right slot for
your sacred key

Six feet deep is the incision
In my heart, that barless prison
Discolours all with tunnel vision
Sunsetter
Nymphetamine
Sick and weak from my condition
This lust, a vampyric addiction
To her alone in full submission
None better
Nymphetamine

Sunsetter
Nymphetamine
None better
Nymphetamine

Nymphetamine, nymphetamine
Nymphetamine girl
Nymphetamine, nymphetamine
My nymphetamine girl

* ‘The title is a portmanteau of “nymphomaniac” and “amphetamine”, and Dani Filth explained the track itself as referring to “a drug-like addiction to the woman in question, with her insidious vampyre qualities literally bringing her lover back from the brink of the spiritual grave, only to bury him further on the strength of a whim.’

PET

[Artist: A Perfect Circle]

Don’t fret precious I’m here, step away from the window
And Go back to sleep

Lay your head down child
I won’t let the boogeyman come

Count their bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums

Pay no mind to the rabble
Pay no mind to the rabble

Head down, go to sleep
To the rhythm of the war drums

Pay no mind what other voices say
They don’t care about you, like I do, like I do
Safe from pain and truth and choice and other poisoned devils,
See, they don’t give a fuck about you, like I do.

Just stay with me, safe and ignorant,
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep

Lay your head down child
I won’t let the boogeyman come
Count the bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums

Pay no mind to the rattle
Pay no mind to the rattle

Head down, go to sleep to the rhythm of the war drums

I’ll be the one to protect you from
Your enemies and all your demons

I’ll be the one to protect you from
A will to survive and a voice of reason

I’ll be the one to protect you from
Your enemies and your choices son
They’re one in the same
I must isolate you
Isolate and save you from yourself

Swayin’ to the rhythm of the new world order and
Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums

The boogeymen are coming
The boogeymen are coming

Keep your head down, go to sleep, to the rhythm of the war drums

Stay with me
Safe and ignorant
Just stay with me
Hold you and protect you from the other ones
The evil ones
Don’t love you son,
Go back to sleep

PICTURES OF YOU

[Artist: the Cure]

I’ve been looking so long at these pictures of you
that I almost believe that they’re real
I’ve been living so long with my pictures of you
that I almost believe that the pictures are all I can feel

remembering you standing quiet in the rain
as I ran to your heart to be near
and we kissed as the sky fell in
holding you close
how I always held close in your fear
remembering you running soft through the night
you were bigger and brighter and whiter than snow
and screamed at the make-believe
screamed at the sky
and you finally found all your courage to let it all go

remembering you falling into my arms
crying for the death of your heart
you were stone white so delicate
lost in the cold
you were always so lost in the dark
remembering you how you used to be
slow drowned
you were angels
so much more than everything
hold for the last time then slip away quietly
open my eyes
but I never see anything

If only I’d thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I’d thought of the right words
I wouldn’t be breaking apart
all my pictures of you

looking so long at these pictures of you
but I never hold on to your heart
looking so long for the words to be true
but always just breaking apart
my pictures of you

there was nothing in the world
that I ever wanted more
than to feel you deep in my heart
there was nothing in the world
that I ever wanted more
than to never feel the breaking apart
all my pictures of you

RIBBONS

[Artist: Sisters of Mercy]

I’m lying on my back now
The stars look all too near
Flowers on the razor wire
I know you’re here
We are few
And far between
I was thinking about her skin
Love is a many splintered thing
Don’t be afraid now
Just walk on in
(flowers on the razor wire)
(walk on in)
Her eyes were cobalt red
Her voice was cobalt blue
I see no purple light
Crashing out of you
So just walk on in
(flowers on the razor wire)
(walk on in)
Her lovers queued up in the hallway
I heard them scratching at the door
I tried to tell her
About marx and engels, God and angels
I don’t really know what for
But she looked good in ribbons
So just walk on in
She looked good in ribbons
So just walk on in

Tie a red red red red red red ribbon
Love is a many splintered thing
Tie a red red red red ribbon
Don’t be afraid
Just walk on in

Just walk on in
(incoming…)
(incoming…)
Just walk on in
Just walk on in
Flowers on the razor wire
Just walk on in…
Incoming!

SHINE

[Artist: Fields of the Nephilim]

Mirror, Mirror
This is the place
Where love is broken down
I’m barely free
As I want you now
Misery – seems so cold out
Misery – am I dead now

Shine – enlighten me – shine
Shine – awaken me – shine
Shine – for all your suffering – shine
Shine – she’s mine

My face now pressed against the glass
The winter here it seems to last
Mirror, what they see
Misery in me

Shine – enlighten me – shine
Shine – awaken me – shine
Shine – for all your suffering – shine
Shine

Malachi

“Shine like a mirror reflecting, like the sun shines — something that comes from above, when all that remains falls below.”

Bow before Hecate
Man of fortune
Man of shame
She’s gonna reach for
The hearts of all of you
And I know her eyes are true

In a fatal world,
They’re afraid of what she brings
In an unknown world
There are fears of nothing

And I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid

I will bring her down
Lord I’m barely human
I could raise her now
But I can’t bear to lose her

I’m not afraid

I’m freezing, I’m waiting
All winter, her season
Asleep now I wait here
Awaken
I can’t let go

The winter – the winter – the winter
She’s here again
Is this the end
Here there’s nothing left
Laid to rest now
Can’t look away
I keep holding her
Winter without me seems so beautiful

Be not afraid of the ways she brings
No, I’m not afraid of the way she shines

SLEEPING WITH GHOSTS

[Artist: Placebo]

The sea’s evaporating
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
Cause soulmates never die

This one world vision
Turns us in to compromise
What good’s religion
When it’s each other we despise
Damn the government
Damn their killing
Damn their lies

Hush
It’s okay
Dry your eyes
Dry your eyes
Soulmate dry your eyes
Dry your eyes
Soulmate dry your eyes
Cause soulmates never die

Soulmates never die
Never die
Soulmates never die
Never die…
Soulmates never die
Soulmates never die
Soulmates never die
Soulmates never die

SPIRIT IN BLACK

[Artist: Slayer]

Welcome to my world
Involve yourself within my dream
Experience a life
Just like your mind thought not to be
Take a look through time
As past or present words to be
I rule this inferno
Enthroned for eternity

Chorus
Coils of the serpent unwind
Buried beneath you will find
Deep in the halls of the damned
Spirit in black till the journey’s end

Spirits damned to rot
Amidst the brimstone fireballs
Eyes of the dead
Watching from their living walls
Broken glass reflections
Show your flesh eaten away
Beyond the gates I ‘ll take you
Where the blood forever rains

Chorus

Afterlife confessions
Tell me who you used to be
Looking on in wonder
As I show you it was me
Burning from within
You know one spark is all it takes
Hear the piercing cries of all
Who found that hell awaits

Living nightmare can’t you see
You really have no choice
Faded memories haunt you
Listen clearly to my voice
Feed me all your hatred
Empty all your thoughts to me
I can fill your emptiness
With immortality

Welcome to my world
Involve yourself within my dream
Experience a life just like your mind thought not to be
Take a look through time
As past or present worlds to be
I rule this inferno
Enthroned for eternity

TEARJERKER

[Artist: Korn]

Well I wish there was someone
Well I wish there was someone
To love me

When I used to be someone
And I knew there was someone
That loved me

As I sit here frozen alone
Even ghosts get tired and go home
As they crawl back under the stones

And I wish there was something
Please tell me there’s something better
And I wish there was something more than this
Saturated loneliness

And I wish I could feel it
And I wish I could steal it
Abduct it, corrupt it, but I never can
it’s just saturated loneliness

Does the silence get lonely?
Does the silence get lonely?
Who knows?
I’ve been hearing it tell me
I’ve been hearing it tell me
Go home

Cause the freaks are playing tonight
They packed up and turned out the lights

And I wish there was something
Please tell me there’s something better
And I wish there was something more than this
Saturated loneliness

And I wish I could feel it
And I wish I could steal it
Abduct it, corrupt it, but I never can
It’s just saturated loneliness

And the bath waters cold
And this life’s getting old

And I wish I could feel it
And I wish I could feel it
And I wish I could steal it
Abduct it, corrupt it
And I wish I could feel it
And I wish I could steal it
And I wish I could feel it
Abduct it, corrupt it
But I never can
I never can
Never Can
Never Can
Never Can

TEMPLE OF LOVE

[Artist: Sisters of Mercy]

With the fire from the fireworks up above me
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain at hand
You run for cover in the temple of love
You run for another but still the same
For the wind will blow my name across this land

In the temple of love you hide together
Believing pain and fear outside
But someone near you rides the weather
And the tears he cried will rain on walls
As wide as lovers eyes

In the temple of love: shine like thunder
In the temple of love: cry like rain
In the temple of love: hear my calling
In the temple of love: hear my name

And the devil in black dress watches over
My guardian angel walks away
Life is short and love is always over in the morning
Black wind come carry me far away

With the sunlight died and night above me
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain inside
You run for cover in the temple of love
You run for another its all the same
For the wind will blow and throw your walls aside

With the fire from the fireworks up above
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain
You run for cover in the temple of love
I shine like thunder cry like rain
And the temple grows old and strong
But the wind blows longer cold and long
And the temple of love will fall before
This black wind calls my name to you no more

In the black sky thunder sweeping
Underground and over water
Sounds of crying weeping will not save
Your faith for bricks and dreams for mortar
All your prayers must seem as nothing
Ninety-six below the wave
When stone is dust and only air remains

In the temple of love: shine like thunder
In the temple of love: cry like rain
In the temple of love: hear the calling
And the temple of love is falling
Down

In the temple of love: shine like thunder
In the temple of love: cry like rain
In the temple of love: hear my calling
In the temple of love: hear my name

In the black sky thunder sweeping
Underground and over water
Sounds of crying weeping will not save
Your faith for bricks and dreams for mortar
All your prayers must seem as nothing
Ninety-six below the wave
When stone is dust and only air remains
The only haven you can trust

And the devil in black dress watches over
My guardian angel walks away
Life is short and love is always over in the morning
Black wind come carry me far away

With the fire from the fireworks up above
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain you

You run for cover in the temple of love
I shine like thunder cry like rain
And the temple grows old and strong
But the wind blows longer cold and long
And the temple of love will fall before
This black wind calls my name to you no more

In the temple of love you hide together
Believing pain and fear outside
But someone near you rides the weather
And the tears he cried will rain on walls
As wide as lovers eyes

In the temple of love: shine like thunder
In the temple of love: cry like rain
In the temple of love: hear my calling
And the temple of love is falling
Down

THE EVIL THAT MEN DO

[Artist: Iron Maiden]

Love is a razor and I walked the line on that silver blade
Slept in the dust with his daughter, her eyes red with
The slaughter of innocence
And I will pray for her
I will call her name out loud
I would bleed for her
If I could only see her now

Living on a razors edge
Balancing on a ledge
Living on a razors edge
Balancing on a ledge
Living on a razors edge
Balancing on a ledge
You know, You know

The evil that men do lives on and on…..
The evil that men do lives on and on…..
The evil that men do lives on and on…..
The evil that men do lives on and on…..

Circle of fire my baptism of joy at an end it seems
The seventh lamb slain, the book of life opens before me
And I will pray for you
Some day I may return
Don’t you cry for me
Beyond is where I learn

Living on a razors edge
Balancing on a ledge
Living on a razors edge
You know, You know

The evil that men do lives on and on…..
The evil that men do lives on and on…..
The evil that men do lives on and on…..
The evil that men do lives on and on…..

Living on a razors edge
Balancing on a ledge
Living on a razors edge
You know, You know

The evil that men do lives on and on…..
The evil that men do lives on and on…..
The evil that men do lives on and on…..
The evil that men do lives on and on…..

The evil, The evil, The evil that men do….
The evil, The evil, The evil that men do….

THE FRAGILE

[Artist: Nine Inch Nails]

She shines
In a world full of ugliness
She matters
When everything is meaningless
Fragile
She doesnt see her beauty
She tries
To get away
Sometimes
It’s just that nothing seems worth saving
I can’t watch her slip away

I won’t let you fall apart
I won’t let you fall apart
I won’t let you fall apart
I won’t let you fall apart

She reads the minds of all the people as they pass her by
Hoping someone will see
If I could fix myself I’d…
But it’s too late for me

I won’t let you fall apart
I won’t let you fall apart
I won’t let you fall apart
I won’t let you fall apart

We’ll find the perfect place to go where we can run and hide
We’ll build a wall and we can keep them on the other side
But they keep waiting and picking
And picking

It’s something I have to do (I won’t let you fall apart)
I was there, too (I won’t let you fall apart)
Before everything else (I won’t let you fall apart)
I was like you (I won’t let you fall apart)

THE GREAT BELOW

[Artist: Nine Inch Nails]

Staring at the sea
Will she come?
Is there hope for me?
After all is said and done
Anything at any price
All of this for you
All the spoils of a wasted life
All of this for you

All the world has closed her eyes
Tired faith all worn and thin
For all we could have done
And all that could have been

Ocean pulls me close
And whispers in my ear
The destiny I’ve chose
Is all becoming clear
The currents have their say
The time is drawing near
Washes me away
Makes me disappear
And I descend from grace
In arms of undertow
I will take my place
In the great below

I can still feel you
Even so far away
I can still feel you
Even so far away
I can still feel you
Even so far away
I can still feel you
Even so far away
Even so far away
Even so far away
Even so far away
So far away

UNDER THE GUN

[Artist: Sisters of Mercy]

You don’t have to say you’re sorry
To look on further down the line
Into the sun
Too close at heaven
Love is fine
But you can’t hold it like a …

Two worlds apart and two together
Into that good night kiss away
One takes the hard
One the other
Kiss a way

Are you living for love?
Are you living for love?
When the road gets too tough
Is your love strong enough?

(are you living?)
(are you living for love?)

Do you feel your head is full of thunder?
Questions never end?
Empty nights alone? no wonder
It all comes back again

Are you living for love?
Are you living for love?
I’ve been under the gun
I’ve lost and I’ve …

(one, two, three, four …)
Forget the many steps to heaven
It never happened and it ain’t so hard
Happiness is a loaded weapon and a
Short cut is better by far
Explosive bolts, ten thousand volts
At a million miles an hour
Abrasive wheels and molten metals
It’s a semi-automatic, get in the car
Corrosive heart and frozen heat
We’re worlds apart where we could meet
Where the street fold round and the motors start
And the idiot wields the power
Where the chosen hold the highest card
On the field of honour where the ground is hard
So the highest hand is joking wild
And the house soon fold and no-one stand
I put my finger on and dialled
The tower, the moon, the gun, and
Nine nine nine, singer down
Cloudburst and all around
The first are last, the blessed get wired
The best is yet to come
I put my finger on and fired
Heat-seeking, out of the sun
You can set the controls for the heart or the knees
And the meek’ll inherit what they damn well please
Get ahead, go figure, go ahead and pull the trigger
Everything under the gun
