Satan's Seventh Bride by Helicopter Bride
http://www.sendspace.com/file/efbc3g

Best thing is on
You're playing guitar
And suddenly I feel romantic
Helsinki Mile
Play like Pearly Gan
Cause suddenly I feel like dancin'
You know I am
Your biggest fan
Be still my heart
And let the consequences be damned

Say can I tempt you
Can you be tempted, too
Pick up another string on your guitar
Hey can I tempt you
Or can you be tempted to
Play me like Satan's Seventh Bride

The string is strung
Those stakes are high
But I don't care cause I feel romantic
Stand in the light
Six carol lines
Breathing far but I'll take my chances

Now I know you are
A Jekyl and Hyde
But so is Satan's Star
And ready to join your tribe

Say can I tempt you
Can you be tempted, too
Pick up another string on your guitar
Hey can I tempt you
Can you be tempted to
Play me like Satan's Seventh Bride

Bring The Night On by Eve 6
http://www.sendspace.com/file/lg9rlu

OK, OK I'm boring you,
I'm warning you tonight,
is not the night for fights,
lies white or other wise.
My mood isn't better yet,
sober and humorless,
if you cant handle this,
roll off the mattress.

I'm trying to let you know that your not just another.
When you're under the covers, I'm under your thumb.
And your the finest of specimens,
leaving me breathless,
reeling and restless,
putting me to the test.

Turn the light off,
leave me where I lay.
Bring the night on, not another day.

Turn the light off,
leave me where I lay.
Bring the night on, not another day.

Ok I'm lying when I'm telling you your right
but you don't like the truth
served straight or otherwise,
And I'm an insomniac,
tossing and turning and,
it's getting repetitive,
swallow a sedative.

I'm trying to let you know that your not just another.
When you're under the covers, I'm under your thumb.
And your the finest of specimens,
leaving me breathless,
reeling and restless,
putting me to the test.

Turn the light off,
leave me where I lay.
Bring the night on, not another day.

Turn the light off,
leave me where I lay.
Bring the night on, not another day.
Not another day, not another day,
Not another day, not another day.

OK I'm boring you,
I'm warning you tonight,
is not the night for fights,
lies white or other wise.
My mood isn't better yet,
sober and humorless,
if you cant handle this,
BREAK!
roll off the mattress

Turn the light off,
leave me where I lay.
Bring the night on, not another day.

Turn the light off,
leave me where I lay.
Bring the night on, not another day.
Not another, not another
Not another day, not another day,
Not another day, not another day.



Muscle Museum by Muse
http://www.sendspace.com/file/mmrg5s
"Muscle Museum"

She had something to confess to
But you don't have the time so
Look the other way
You will wait until it's over
To reveal what you'd never shown her
Too little much too late

Too long trying to resist it
You've just gone and missed it
It's escaped your world

Can you see that I am needing
Begging for so much more
Than you could ever give
And I don't want you to adore me
Don't want you to ignore me
When it pleases you
And I'll do it on my own

I have played in every toilet
But you still want to spoil it
To prove I've made a big mistake
Too long trying to resist it
You've just gone and missed it
It's escaped your world

Can you see that I am needing
Begging for so much more
Than you could ever give
And I don't want you to adore me
Don't want you to ignore me
When it pleases you
And I'll do it on my own
I'll do it on my own



The Fragile by Nine Inch Nails
http://www.sendspace.com/file/mmrg5s

"The Fragile"

she shines
in a world full of ugliness
she matters when everything is meaningless

fragile
she doesn't 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

she reads the minds of all the people as they pass her by
hoping someone can see
if I could fix myseld I'd - but it's too late for me

I wont let you fall apart

we'll find the perfect place to go where we can run and hide
I'll build a wall and we can keep them on the other side
...but they keep waiting
...and picking...

it's something I have to do
I was there, too
before everyhting else
I was like you


I Think I Need A New Heart by Magnetic Fields
http://www.sendspace.com/file/ukff5z

Time stands still
All I can feel is the time standing still

as you put down the keys
and say don't call me please
while the radio plays

"I Think I Need a New Heart" ohhh

"I Think I Need a New Heart" ohhh

You've lied too
but it's assumed that I
can't tell the truth
cause it all comes out wrong
unless I put it in a song
so the radio plays
"I Think I Need a New Heart"
just for you
"I Think I Need a New Heart"

cause I always say I love you

when I mean turn out the light
and I say let's run away
when I just mean stay the night
but the words you want to hear
you will never hear from me

I'll never say "happy anniversary"
never stay to say "happy anniversary"

so I think I need a new heart ohhh
I think I need a new heart ohhh
I think I need a new heart ohhh
I think I need a new heart ohhh
Give me time

Salty Seas by Devics
http://www.sendspace.com/file/gs7lxv

I'm not saying that
I felt like you cared
I'm not saying that
I want to go back
The salty sea behind the eyes
and it's the tears
that come and make me cry
the falling leaf that never tries
to hold on to what
keeps it alive
I was so green
nothing could touch me
I'm not saying that
this is good or bad
I'm not saying that
I wanna go
The salty sea behind the eyes
and it's the tears
that come and make me cry
the falling leaf that never tries
to hold on to what
keeps it alive
the summer dream behind the eye
and it's the sleep that makes me alive
the sudden ease when you arrive
and it's you
that makes me try
