ties - years and years // and you’re a dancer, and i’m a spy. it’s so beautiful to see you lie. are you having fun? oh, tell me, how did it feel? did it all get too real for you? everybody’s screaming out your name - are you scared? ‘cause i don’t think you’re worth it.

smile - lily allen // i couldn't stop laughing, no, I just couldn't help myself. see, you messed up my mental health. i was quite unwell. i was so lost back then, but with a little help from my friends, i found a light in the tunnel at the end. at first, when i see you cry, it makes me smile. at worst, i feel bad for awhile, but then i just smile.

duvet - boa // and all the fears you hold so dear will turn to whisper in your ear. and you know what they say might hurt you, and you know that it means so much, and you don’t even feel a thing. and you don’t seem the lying kind; a shame that i can read your mind.

right in the head - m.ward // i hope my little brother puts a call in today. i hope he don’t forget where he came from. and though the names will get changed to protect the innocent, he said, "I hope the names will get changed to protect me." i hope he’s right in the head, even if he has to wrong someone.

aha! - imogen heap // nicest, sweetest, utmost in everything. so charming, very charming. well read, can play the fool, no one's ill at ease, and put their deepest swiss bank trust in you. no one saw it coming. you killed a man, cost you to keep me quiet!

the fly - U2 // it's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky. it's no secret that our world is in darkness tonight. the universe exploded 'cause of one man's lie. they a secret is something you tell one other person, so i’m telling you. we’re falling from the sky tonight.

PDA - interpol // yours is the only version of my desertion that i could ever subscribe to. that is all that I can do. you are the only person who's completely certain there's nothing here to be into. that is all that you can do. and everything we’ve come to makes you, you.

all the candles in the world - jane siberry //“and how many of us will there be?” more than we are now. “and where will we come from?” the rivers, the oceans, the ends of the darkest inlets, the lightest-coloured seas. all the candles in the world would not be enough to match the burning in our souls and the fever in our hearts and the fervor in our eyes as we're hoping and we're praying, and we're setting out into the streets, the back streets of the world.

bloody motherfucking asshole - martha wainwright // you say my time here has been some sort of joke, that i've been messing around. some sort of incubating period for when i really come around. but i'm cracking up, and you have no idea how it feels to be on your own. i will not pretend, i will not put on a smile, i will not say i’m alright for you, you bloody motherfucking asshole.

invincible - muse // follow through, make our dreams come true. don't give up the fight, you will be alright, ‘cause there's no one like you in the universe. and during the struggle they will pull us down, but please, please, let's use this chance to turn things around. and tonight, we can truly say: together, we're invincible.
