Nelly Furtado - Explode:
Vera's face burnt as a memory of bedroom fun,
With a lighter and some hairspray,
Smoking in the girls' room,
Not worse than Shelly's rape behind the Mc. Donald's,
By a man she thought was fine,
Didn't tell anybody.

Don't ask me why, it just fits!

"Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved

All the lonely people (Ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people (Ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all belong?"

I just want to feel safe in my own skin, I just want to be happy again
I just want to feel deep in my own world
but i'm so lonely I don't even want to be with myself anymore

Lowering the mood slightly, but any of the Holy Bible by the Manics.

Esp. 4st 7lb:
'I want to walk in the snow, and not leave a footprint.
I want to walk in the snow, and soil it's purity'.

On a more cheerful side, Madness's 'Baggy Trousers':
'Lots of girls and lots of boys,
Lots of smells and lots of noise'. Great line!

I'll pretend that I want you, for what is on the inside
But when I get inside I'll just want to get out
I'm your first and last deposit in sickness and in hell
I'll never promise you a garden, you'll just water me down

I cant believe, that you are for real
I dont care as long as your mine

When I said we, you know I meant me
And when I said sweet I meant dirty.......

Woke up next morning with a trashcan head
When I looked to my left, oh no,
I wished I was dead
There's Frankenstein's daughter
All curled up on me
I said "I gotta go home,
It's an emergency"
She said "But you are home"

Who said I lied because I never!"

Eventually me a friend
Sort of drifted along in to S&M
I can take about an hour on the Tower of Power
As long as I gets me a little golden shower.

Light switch, yellow fever,
Crawling up your bathroom wall,
Singing psychedelic phrases,
To the depths of a china bowl,
You've got.....
....venom in your stomach,
You've got.....
....poison in your head

Marillion - 'He knows, you know'

or:-
The sky was bible black in Lyon,
When I met the magdaleine,
She was paralysed in a street light,
She refused to give her name,
And a ring of violet bruises,
They were pinned upon her arm,
200 Francs for sanctuary, and she led me by the hand,
To a room of dancing shadows,
Where all the heartache disappears,
And from the glowing tongues of candles,
I heard her whisper in my ear,
'J'entend ton coeur'
'J'entend ton coeur' - I can hear your heart...............

Marillion again - 'Bitter Suite'

"You try to tell yourself the things you try to tell yourself to make yourself forget"
"It's all or nothin - I am not worried, I am not overly concerned."
(Both from Counting Crows - Anna Begins)

"I believe that junk food tastes so good because it's bad for you"
"I believe that God does not endorse TV evangelists"
(Both from Savage Garden, Affirmation)

"Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you
Even when I know you're wrong
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze-dried romance,
Five-hour phone conversation,
The best soya latte that you ever had and...me?"
(Train - Drops Of Jupiter)

"Rent a flat above a shop, cut your hair and get a job.
Smoke some fags and play some pool.
Pretend you never went to school.
But still you'll never get it right,
'cos when you're laid in bed at night,
watching roaches climb the wall,
if you called your dad he could stop it all....................etc...........because you think that poor is cool"

common people - pulp

All of the lyrics are spot on but I couldn't be arsed typing them.

Chelsea Monday - Marillion

Catalogue princess, apprentice seductress
Hiding in her cellophane world in glitter town
Awaiting the prince in his white Capri
Dynamic young Tarzan courts the bedsit queen

She's playing the actress in this bedroom scene
She's learning her lines from glossy magazines
Stringing all her pearls from her childhood dreams
Auditioning for the leading role on the silver screen

Patience my tinsel angel, patience my perfumed child
One day they really love you, you'll charm them with that smile
But for now it's just another Chelsea Monday
Chelsea Monday

Tju
In the city of dreamers...
Drifting with her incense in the labyrinth of London
Playing games with faces in the neon wonderland
Perform to scattered shadows on the shattered cobbled aisles
Would she dare recite soliloquies at the risk of stark applause
To Chelsea Monday

She'll pray for endless Sundays as she enters saffron sunsets
Conjure phantom lovers from the tattered shreds of dawn
Fulfilled and yet forgotten the St. Tropez mirage
Fragrant aphrodisiac, the withered tuberose
Of Chelsea Monday
Sweet Chelsea Monday

Patience my tinsel angel, patience my perfumed child
One day they really love you, you'll charm them with that smile
But for now it's just another Chelsea Monday
Sweet Chelsea Monday

Voice: "Hello John, did you see The Standard about four hours ago?
Fished a young chick out of The Old Father
Blond hair, blue eyes
She said she wanted to be an actress or something
Nobody knows where she came from, where she was going
Funny thing was she had a smile on her face
She was smiling
What a waste!"

Catalogue princess, apprentice seductress
Buried in her cellophane world in glitter town
Of Chelsea Monday
Chelsea Monday
She was only dreaming

Pulp - Something Changed

I wrote the song two hours before we met.
I didn't know your name or what you looked like yet.
Oh I could have stayed at home and gone to bed.
I could have gone to see a film instead.
You might have changed your mind and seen your friends.
Life could have been very different but then,
something changed.
Do you believe that there's someone up above?
Does he have a timetable directing acts of love?
Why did I write this song on that one day?
Why did you touch my hand and softly say.
Stop asking questions that don't matter anyway.
Just give us a kiss to celebrate here today.
Something changed.
When we woke up that morning we had no way of knowing,
that in a matter of hours we'd change the way we were going.
Where would I be now if we'd never met?
Would I be singing this song to someone else instead?
I dunno but like you said
something changed.

Pink Glove by Pulp (pretty popular choice it seems...)

And I know what you wear at the end of the day,
And I'd laugh if I saw, but I'm out of the way,
Yeh, it's too long ago, shouldn't care anymore,
But I wanted to know, is it as good as before?

Trouble Loves Me by Morrissey

Show me a barrell and watch me scrape it,
Faced with the music, as always I'll face it.

Chain so heavy, when he steps in the place. You could tap him on the shoulder and he'd fall on his face.

Ben Folds Five - Smoke

Leaf by leaf and page by page
Throw this book away
All the sadness all the rage
Throw this book away
Rip out the binding and tear the glue
All of the grief we never even knew we had it all along
Now its... smoke

The things we've written in it
Never really happened
All the things we've written in it
Never really happened
All of the people come and gone
Never really lived
All of the people come have gone
No one to forgive
...Smoke

We will not write a new one
There will not be a new one

Here's an evening dark with shame
Throw it on the fire
Here's the time I took the blame
Throw it on the fire
Here's the time we didn't speak it seemed for years and years
Here's a secret...no one will ever know the reasons for the tears
They are... smoke

We will never write a new one
There will not be a new one

Where do all the secrets live?
They travel in the air
You can smell them when they burn
They travel...
Those who say the past is not dead
Can stop and smell the smoke
You keep saying the past is not dead
Stop and smell the smoke
You keep on saying the past is not even past
And you keep saying

We are... smoke
