The All-American Rejects: 'It Ends Tonight'

'Can't Take It' by The All-American Rejects



'Move Along' by The All-American Rejects

Go ahead as you waste your days with thinking:
When you fall everyone stands.
Another day and you've had your fill of sinking,
With the life held in your
Hands are shaking cold,
These hands are meant to hold.

Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong:
Move along, move along like I know you do;
And even when your hope is gone:
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along
Move along

So a day when you've lost yourself completely
Could be a night when your life ends.
Such a heart that will lead you to deceiving:
All the pain held in your
Hands are shaking cold
Your hands are mine to hold.

Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong:
Move along, move along like I know you do,
And even when your hope is gone,
Move along, move along just to make it through:
Move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)

When everything is wrong, we move along;
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
When everything is wrong, we move along,
Along, along, along

When all you got to keep is strong:
Move along, move along like I know you do;
And even when your hope is gone,
Move along, move along just to make it through.


(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
Right back what is wrong
We move along...




'It Ends Tonight' by The All-American Rejects



'Straitjacket Feeling'

Radiohead: No Surprises

A heart that's full up like a landfill,
A job that slowly kills you,
Bruises that won't heal.

You look so tired and unhappy:
Bring down the government,
They don't, they don't speak for us.
I'll take a quiet life,
A handshake of carbon monoxide.

No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
Silent, silent

This is my final fit, my final bellyache with

No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises please

Such a pretty house, such a pretty garden

No alarms and no surprises (let me out of here)
No alarms and no surprises (let me out of here)
No alarms and no surprises please (let me out of here)



'Karma Police'



'Street Spirit' (Fade Out)

'Sing for Absolution' by Muse

Lips are turning blue,
A kiss that can't renew.
I only dream of you,
My beautiful.

Tiptoe to your room,
A starlight in the gloom;
I only dream of you
And you never knew.

Sing for absolution:
I will be singing,
Falling from your grace.

There's nowhere left to hide,
In no one to confide;
The truth runs deep inside
And will never die.

Lips are turning blue,
A kiss that can't renew;
I only dream of you,
My beautiful.

Sing for absolution:
I will be singing,
Falling from your grace.

Our wrongs remain unrectified
And our souls won't be exhumed.'

'Invincible' by Muse

'Invincible' by Muse (Official Video)

Follow through
Make your dreams come true
Don't give up the fight
You will be alright
'Cause there's no one like you in the universe

Don't be afraid
What your mind conceives
You should make a stand
Stand up for what you believe
And tonight
We can truly say
Together we're invincible

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

Do it on your own
It makes no difference to me
What you leave behind
What you choose to be
And whatever they say
Your soul's unbreakable

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
Together we're invincible

During the struggle
They will pull us down
Please, please
Let's use this chance
To turn things around
And tonight
We can truly say
Together we're invincible
Together we're invincible



'Invincible' Live from Reading Festival...



'Starlight'


Far away
The ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

Starlight
I will be chasing the starlight
Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms

My life
You electrify my life
Let's conspire to ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel alive

But I'll never let you go
If you promised not to fade away
Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms

Far away
The ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

And I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms
I just wanted to hold

'Feeling Good' and 'Hysteria' by Muse

'Feeling Good'

Birds flying high
You know how I feel
Sun in the sky
You know how I feel
Reeds driftin' on by
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea
You know how I feel
River running free
You know how I feel
Blossom in the tree
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when the day is done
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me

Stars when you shine
You know how I feel
Scent of the pine
You know how I feel
Yeah freedom is mine
And I know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me

And I'm feeling good



'Hysteria' by Muse
It's bugging me, grating me
And twisting me around
Yeah I'm endlessly caving in
And turning inside out

'cause I want it now
I want it now
Give me your heart and your soul
And I'm breaking out
I'm breaking out
Last chance to lose control

It's holding me, morphing me
And forcing me to strive
To be endlessly cold within
And dreaming I'm alive

'cause I want it now
I want it now
Give me your heart and your soul
And I'm not breaking down
I'm breaking out
Last chance to lose control

And want you now
I want you now
I'll feel my heart implode
And I'm breaking out
Escaping now
Feeling my faith erode



Plug In Baby

'Knights of Cydonia' by Muse

'Knights of Cydonia'

Come ride with me
Through the veins of history
I'll show you how god
Falls asleep on the job

And how can we win
When fools can be kings
Don't waste your time
Or time will waste you

No one's gonna take me alive
The time has come to make things right
You and I must fight for our rights
You and I must fight to survive

No one's gonna take me alive
The time has come to make things right
You and I must fight for our rights
You and I must fight to survive

No one's gonna take me alive
The time has come to make things right
You and I must fight for our rights
You and I must fight to survive

'Time is Running Out' and 'Bliss' by Muse

'Time is Running Out'



'Bliss' by Muse

Everything about you is how I wanna be
Your freedom comes naturally
Everything about you resonates happiness
Now I won't settle for less

Give me all the peace and joy in your mind

Everything about you pains my envying
Your soul can't hate anything
Everything about you is so easy to love
They're watching you from above

Give me all the peace and joy in your mind
I want the peace and joy in your mind
Give me the peace and joy in your mind

Everything about you resonates happiness
Now I won't settle for less

Give me all the peace and joy in your mind
I want the peace and joy in your mind
Give me the peace and joy in your mind

Midnight Oil: Beds are Burning

'Beds are Burning' by Midnight Oil

'The time has come
To say fair's fair..

The time has come,
A fact's a fact,
It belongs to them,
Let's give it back.

How can we dance
While our earth is turning?
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning?'



'Put Down that Weapon'

Under the waterline
No place to retire
To another time
The eyes of the world now turn

And if we think about it
And if we talk about it
And if the skies go dark with rain
Can you tell me will our freedom remain

Put down that weapon or we'll all be gone
You can't hide nowhere with the torchlight on
And it happens to be an emergency
Some things aren't meant to be
Some things don't come for free

Above the waterline
Point the finger yeah point the bone
It's the harbour towns
That the grey metal ships call home

And if we think about it
And if we talk about it
And if the seas go boiling black
Can you tell me what you'll do about that

Put down that weapon or we'll all be gone
I must know something to know it's so wrong
And it happens to be an emergency
Some things aren't meant to be
Some things don't come for free

They keep talking about it
They keep talking...

Put down that weapon or we'll all be gone
You must be crazy if you think you're strong.'



'Blue Sky Mine'

Hey, hey-hey hey
There'll be food on the table tonight
Hey, hey, hey hey
There'll be pay in your pocket tonight

My gut is wrenched out, it is crunched up and broken;
A life that is led is no more than a token.
Who'll strike the flint upon the stone and tell me why?
If I yell out at night there's a reply of bruised silence,
The screen is no comfort I can't speak my sentence.

They blew the lights at heaven's gate and I don't know why.

But if I work all day at the blue sky mine
(There'll be food on the table tonight)
Still I walk up and down on the blue sky mine
(There'll be pay in your pocket tonight)
The candy store paupers lie to the share holders,
They're crossing their fingers, they pay the truth makers
The balance sheet is breaking up the sky
So I'm caught at the junction still waiting for medicine,
The sweat of my brow keeps on feeding the engine;
Hope the crumbs in my pocket can keep me for another night.
And if the blue sky mining company won't come to my rescue,
If the sugar refining company won't save me,
Who's gonna save me?

But if I work all day...

And some have sailed from a distant shore:
And the company takes what the company wants,
And nothing's as precious, as a hole in the ground.

Who's gonna save me?
I pray that sense and reason brings us in.
Who's gonna save me?
We've got nothing to fear.

In the end the rain comes down,
Washes clean, the streets of a blue sky town.

Love's Great Adventure' and 'Sleepwalk' from Ultravox

'Love's Great Adventure'

Standing on my own,
It didn't mean that much to me.
I thought I had it all,
I didn't see the mystery

I stood the test of time,
And took the step to find,
Love's great adventure.

I spoke a million words:
They didn't mean that much to me.
They rang around my head,
Like empty tuneless harmony.
Love's great adventure's mine!

Lying side by side,
It didn't mean that much to me.
Or starting to enjoy,
The poetry and symphonies.
I took it in my stride,
And hailed the day I tried,
Love's great adventure.

A fool who couldn't see,
It didn't mean that much to me.
I couldn't understand,
That's how the game is meant to be.
Love's great adventure's mine!

My great adventure.
Love's great adventure.

Love's great adventure!

Standing on my own,
It didn't mean that much to me.
I thought I had it all,
I didn't see the mystery.
I stood the test of time.
I took the step to find.
Love's great adventure's mine!

'The Lament'

999 sings 'Homicide' and 'Emergency'

'Homicide'
I believe in Homicide
I rest my case, don’t cast aside.
You better believe it
That’s the truth of it
Take it or leave it
Resign to it.
Homicide, Homicide,
Homicide, Homicide.

No one cared
When someone lied
They’d rather say
That it’s irrelevant.
You better believe it,
That’s the truth of it.
Take it or leave it,
Resign to it:

Homicide, Homicide,
Homicide, Homicide.

You tried to tell me it’s his fault because he’s down
And letting loose this Homicide all over the town
I’ll take your number I’ll write it down;
What’s your address, I’ll write it down;
I’ll be in touch so don’t leave town in a big black car

Homicide, Homicide,
Homicide, Homicide,
Homicide, Homicide,
Homicide, Homicide.

This song still has great energy.





'Emergency'

We've heard it all before,
We're learning to ignore,
You must confess this awful mess
Isn't just a bore.
It's more than we can bear,
But do you really care?
The kiss of life to save a life
All you do is stare.
Sell yourself for cheap,
Make your mother weep.
Losing pride is hard to hide,
And harder still to keep.

I'm back in full attack
Never give in until they crack
Emergency,
emergency.

Raiders strike but where?
Panic in the air,
Running scared, I'm oh so scared:
It gets you everywhere.
Heard it on the news,
Rebels get accused,
Fighting for another cause
But why and where and whose?
Carry out their plan,
Release us if you can,
What's your worth to a pile of earth?
You're just another man.

Blackjack, what a quack,
Never get your money back.
Pack attack in the back,
By a bloody maniac.
Better see industry
Take it fast and make it last.
Go away make them pay,
Never make the same mistake.
Sometimes care, sometimes not
See them bleed and see them rot.

Sex Pistols

'Anarchy in the U.K.'



'God Save the Queen'

What can I say? I love the Sex Pistols... incredible energy. They fueled the Punk movement.

Klaus Nomi

Here's a genius who never cared what any one else thought...



'Simple Man'



'Lightning Strikes'

Gary Numan 'Cars'

'Cars'

Here in my car
I feel safest of all
I can lock all my doors
It's the only way to live
In cars

Here in my car
I can only receive
I can listen to you
It keeps me stable for days
In cars


Here in my car
Where the image breaks down
Will you visit me please?
If I open my door
In cars


Here in my car
I know I've started to think
About leaving tonight
Although nothing seems right
In cars'



Gary Numan on the Graham Norton Show...

WARNING: THIS VIDEO IS RATHER RUDE! It's hilarious, though. It's the Graham Norton Show, featuring Gary Numan. I happen to like Graham Norton and Gary Numan, and it is a bit of a laugh even if you aren't familiar with either one of them.

This song still can send shivers up my spine...



'White Wedding'

'There is nothing fair in this world,
There is nothing safe in this world;
And there's nothing sure in this world,
And there's nothing pure in this world,
Look for something left in this world,
Start again,

Come on,
It's a nice day for a white wedding.
It's a nice day to start again.'



'Rebel Yell'



'Hot in the City'




'Don't Need a Gun'


'...Of what a story dreams to buy,
Don't need a knife to violate my life.
It's all so insane:

When the other man has none
You don't need a gun;
Yes a Russian roulette no fun,
I don't need a gun.
I just need someone
I don't need a gun.

Blood red lights a domination street, yeah.
Just need your love and I feel that heat, yeah.
You can drive me through
That red stop light
With a whiplash smile'



'Wasteland' from the Cyberpunk album



'Adam in Chains'
'They've broken your heart,
Ah yeah, they're gonna tear your world apart.
Why make up a lie
And believe it's true?
Ah, tear it all apart:
I know the shape of things to come.
Why this now, girl?
Will we murder each other?

Like Adam in chains
I want revenge...'

'Cradle of Love'




The song is decent enough but I am including it for the video. It is both clever and amusing... Billy Idol always did know how to put together a great music video.

'This is How I Disappear' by My Chemical Romance

'Mama' by My Chemical Romance, the studio version

'Mama, we all go to hell.
Mama, we all go to hell.
I'm writing this letter and wishing you well,
Mama, we all go to hell.

'Oh, well, now,
Mama, we're all gonna die.
Mama, we're all gonna die.
Stop asking me questions, I'd hate to see you cry,
Mama, we're all gonna die.

'And when we go, don't blame us, yeah.
We'll let the fires just bathe us, yeah.
You made us, oh, so famous.
We'll never let you go.
And when you go, don't return to me my love.

'Mama, we're all full of lies.
Mama, we're meant for the flies.
And right now they're building a coffin your size,
Mama, we're all full of lies.

'Well Mother, what the war did to my legs and to my tongue,
You should've raised a baby girl,
I should've been a better son.
If you could coddle the infection
They can amputate at once.
You should've been,
I could have been a better son.'




'House of Wolves' by My Chemical Romance


'You play ring around the ambulance,
Well, like you never gave a care.
So get the choir boys around you,
It's a compliment, I swear.
And I said, ashes to ashes, we all fall down,
I wanna hear you sing the praise,
I said, ashes to ashes, we all fall down,
We got innocence for days!

...And say, ha,
What I wanna say:
Tell me I'm an angel,
Take this to my grave.
Tell me I'm a bad man,
Kick me like a stray.
Tell me I'm an angel,
Take this to my grave.'

Well tonight, well tonight
Will it ever come?
Spend the rest of your days rocking out
Just for the dead
Well tonight
Will it ever come?
I can see you awake anytime, in my head

Did we all fall down?
Did we all fall down?
Did we all fall down?
Did we all fall down?
From the lights to the pavement
From the van to the floor
From backstage to the doctor
From the Earth to the morgue, morgue, morgue, morgue
