1. The Future – Leonard Cohen Give me back my broken night my mirrored room, my secret life it's lonely here, there's no one left to torture Give me absolute control over every living soul And lie beside me, baby, that's an order! Give me crack and anal sex Take the only tree that's left and stuff it up the hole in your culture Give me back the Berlin wall give me Stalin and St Paul I've seen the future, brother: it is murder.
Things are going to slide, slide in all directions Won't be nothing Nothing you can measure anymore The blizzard, the blizzard of the world has crossed the threshold and it has overturned the order of the soul When they said REPENT REPENT I wonder what they meant When they said REPENT REPENT I wonder what they meant When they said REPENT REPENT I wonder what they meant
You don't know me from the wind you never will, you never did I'm the little jew who wrote the Bible I've seen the nations rise and fall I've heard their stories, heard them all but love's the only engine of survival Your servant here, he has been told to say it clear, to say it cold: It's over, it ain't going any further And now the wheels of heaven stop you feel the devil's riding crop Get ready for the future: it is murder
Things are going to slide ...
There'll be the breaking of the ancient western code Your private life will suddenly explode There'll be phantoms There'll be fires on the road and the white man dancing You'll see a woman hanging upside down her features covered by her fallen gown and all the lousy little poets coming round tryin' to sound like Charlie Manson and the white man dancin'
Give me back the Berlin wall Give me Stalin and St Paul Give me Christ or give me Hiroshima Destroy another fetus now We don't like children anyhow I've seen the future, baby: it is murder
Things are going to slide ...
When they said REPENT REPENT ...
2. Striptease – Hawkley Worksman In a house thats by the tracks I want, I want you back In a dress that's faded black I want you back, I want you back
All the ways my mother taught me how I want, I want you now In any place you'll allow I want you now, i want you now
It's never very hard stayin' true When i'm stayin' true to you And your kisses are all i think about The proof is in your moves and your grooves And the little things you do And the silly things you laugh about
I called, you came I called, you came It seems to be our only way I'll be dreamin' of the kissin' that I'm missin' Truly wishin' that you listen When I sweetly ask you to
Striptease for me, baby Striptease for me, baby Striptease for me, baby aaaah!
All the ways you never ever had I want, I want you bad You know I'll never make you sad I want you bad, I want you bad
As if I never said the words I want, I want you first Only thing that can quench my thirst I want you first, I want you first
It's never very hard stayin' true When I'm stayin' true to you And your kisses are all i think about The proof is in your moves and your grooves And the little things you do And the silly things you laugh about
I called, you came I called, you came It seems to be our only way I'll be dreamin' of the kissin' That I'm missin' truly wishin' that you listen When i sweetly ask you to
Striptease for me, baby Striptease for me, baby Striptease for me, baby aaaah!
In a house thats by the tracks I want, I want you back In the dress that's faded black I want you back, I want you back
All the ways my mother taught me how I want, i want you now In any place you'll allow I want you now, I want you now
It's never very hard stayin' true When i'm stayin' true to you And your kisses are all i think about The proof is in your moves and your grooves And the little things you do And the silly things you laugh about
I called, you came I called, you came It seems to be the only way I'll be dreamin' of the kissin' That I'm missin' truly wishin' that you listen When i simply say to you
Striptease for me, baby Striptease for me, baby Striptease for me, baby raow!
3. Hate Me – Blue October
I have to block out thoughts of you so I don’t lose my head They crawl in like a cockroach leaving babies in my bed Dropping little reels of tape to remind me that I’m alone Playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home There's a burning in my pride, a nervous bleeding in my brain An ounce of peace is all I want for you. Will you never call again? And will you never say that you love me just to put it in my face? And will you never try to reach me? It is I that wanted space
Hate me today Hate me tomorrow Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you
Hate me in ways Yeah ways hard to swallow Hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you
I’m sober now for 3 whole months it’s one accomplishment that you helped me with The one thing that always tore us apart is the one thing I won’t touch again In a sick way I want to thank you for holding my head up late at night While I was busy waging wars on myself, you were trying to stop the fight You never doubted my warped opinions on things like suicidal hate You made me compliment myself when it was way too hard to take So I’ll drive so fucking far away that I never cross your mind And do whatever it takes in your heart to leave me behind
Hate me today Hate me tomorrow Hate me for all the things I didn’t do for you
Hate me in ways Yeah ways hard to swallow Hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you
And with a sad heart I say bye to you and wave Kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that I had made And like a baby boy I never was a man Until I saw your blue eyes cry and I held your face in my hand And then I fell down yelling “Make it go away!” Just make a smile come back and shine just like it used to be And then she whispered “How can you do this to me?”
Hate me today Hate me tomorrow Hate me for all the things I didn’t do for you
Hate me in ways Yeah ways hard to swallow Hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you For you For you For you
4. What Becomes of the Brokenhearted? – Jimmy Ruffin As I walk this land of broken dreams I have visions of many things But happiness is just an illusion Filled with sadness and confusion
What becomes of the broken hearted Who have love that's now departed I know I've got to find Some kind of peace of mind Maybe
Fruits of love Grow all around (all around) But for me they come a-tumbling down (a-tumbling down) Every day heart aches grow a little stronger (Just a little stonger) I can't stand this pain much longer I walk in shadows searching for light (searching for light) Cold and alone no comfort in sight (No comfort in sight) Hopin' and prayin' for someone to care (someone to care) Always movin' and going nowhere
What becomes of the broken hearted Who have love that's now departed I know I've got to find Some kind of peace of mind Help me please
I'm searching though I don't succeed (I don't succeed) Someone's love there's a growing need (Such a growing need) All is lost there's no place for beginning (No beginning) All that's left is an unhappy ending Unhappy ending
Now what becomes of the broken hearted Who have love that's now departed I know I've got to find Some kind of peace of mind I'll be searching everywhere Just to find someone to care I'l be looking every day I know I'm gonna find a way Nothing's gonna stop me now I'll find a way somehow
What becomes of the broken hearted Who have love that's now departed I know I've got to find Some kind of peace of mind Baby Oh yeah What becomes of the broken hearted Who have love that's now departed What becomes of the broken hearted Who have love that's now departed What becomes of the broken hearted
5. In the House of Stone and Light – Martin Page
O Mount Kailas Uncover me Come my restoration Wash my body clean I've been walking Along a crooked path Where the walls have fallen And broken me in half I'm telling you I will not rest till I lay down my head I'm gonna go In the house of stone and light I shall not cry for the blindman I leave behind When I go In the house of stone and light In the house of stone and light Holy lady Show me my soul Tell me of the place Where I must surely go Old man waiting At the gates for me Give me the wisdom Give me the key Chorus: I'm telling you I will not rest till I lay down my head In the house of stone and light I make my way O gonna be such a beautiful day In the house of stone and light In the house of stone and light Let me in beneath my skin In the house of stone and light It's been too long My spirit's been at war Havasupai Shaman Let me be reborn Chorus: And I will the sun upon my face Come the day I awake the child inside In the house of stone and light And when I go I will op - open my eyes In the house of stone and light I will see you In the house of stone and light I'm looking in beneath my skin In The House Of Stone And Light
