- 1. Helena – My Chemical Romance
Lyrics
Long ago
Just like the hearse you die to get in again
We are so far from you
Burning on just like a match you strike to incinerate
The lives of everyone you know
And what’s the worst to take (worst you take)
from every heart you break (heart you break)
And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well, I’ve been holding on tonight
What’s the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
Came a time
When every star fall brought you to tears again
We are the very hurt you sold
And what’s the worst to take (worst you take)
from every heart you break (heart you break)
And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well, I’ve been holding on tonight
What’s the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
Can you hear me?
Are you near me?
Can we pretend
to leave and then
We’ll meet again
When both our cars collide?
What’s the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight

- 2. Speed of Sound – Coldplay
Lyrics
How long before I get in?
Before it starts, before I begin?
How long before you decide?
Before I know what it feels like?
Where To, where do I go?
If you never try, then you’ll never know.
How long do I have to climb,
Up on the side of this mountain of mine?
Look up, I look up at night,
Planets are moving at the speed of light.
Climb up, up in the trees,
every chance that you get,
is a chance you seize.
How long am I gonna stand,
with my head stuck under the sand?
I’ll start before I can stop,
before I see things the right way up.
All that noise, and all that sound,
All those places I got found.
And birds go flying at the speed of sound,
to show you how it all began.
Birds came flying from the underground,
if you could see it then you’d understand?
Ideas that you’ll never find,
All the inventors could never design.
The buildings that you put up,
Japan and China all lit up.
The sign that I couldn’t read,
or a light that I couldn’t see,
some things you have to believe,
but others are puzzles, puzzling me.
All that noise, and all that sound,
All those places I got found.
And birds go flying at the speed of sound,
to show you how it all began.
Birds came flying from the underground,
if you could see it then you’d understand,
ah when you see it then you’ll understand?
All those signs, I knew what they meant.
Some things you can invent.
Some get made, and some get sent,
Ooh?
Birds go flying at the speed of sound,
to show you how it all began.
Birds came flying from the underground,
if you could see it then you’d understand,
ah, when you see it then you’ll understand?

- 3. All These Things That I’ve Done – The Killers
Lyrics
When there’s nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son
One more son
If you can hold on
If you can hold on, hold on
I want to stand up, I want to let go
You know, you know – no you don’t, you don’t
I want to shine on in the hearts of men
I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand
Another head aches, another heart breaks
I am so much older than I can take
And my affection, well it comes and goes
I need direction to perfection, no no no no
Help me out
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don’t you put me on the backburner
You know you got to help me out
And when there’s nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son
These changes ain’t changing me
The cold-hearted boy I used to be
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don’t you put me on the backburner
You know you got to help me out
You’re gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you’re gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you’re gonna bring yourself down
I got soul, but I’m not a soldier
I got soul, but I’m not a soldier
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don’t you put me on the backburner
You know you got to help me out
You’re gonna bring yourself down
You’re gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, oh don’t you put me on the backburner
Yeah, you’re gonna bring yourself down
Over and again, last call for sin
While everyone’s lost, the battle is won
With all these things that I’ve done
All these things that I’ve done
If you can hold on
If you can hold on

- 4. All That I’ve Got – The Used
Lyrics
So deep that it didn’t even bleed and catch me
Off guard, red handed
Now I’m far from lonely
Asleep I still see you lying next to me
So deep that it didn’t even bleed and catch me I..
I need something else
Would someone please just give me
Hit me, knock me out
And let me go back to sleep
I can laugh
All I want inside I still am empty
So deep that it didn’t even bleed and catch me I…
I’ll be just fine
Pretending I’m not
I’m far from lonely
And it’s all that I’ve got
I’ll be just fine
Pretending I’m not
I’m far from lonely
And it’s all that I’ve got
I guess, I remember every glance you shot me
Un-harmed, I’m losing weight and some body heat
I squoze so hard
I stopped your heart from beating
So deep that I didn’t even scream fuck me, I..
I’ll be just fine
Pretending I’m not
I’m far from lonely
And it’s all that I’ve got
I’ll be just fine
Pretending I’m not
I’m far from lonely
And it’s all that I’ve got
And it’s all that I’ve got
Yeah, it’s all that I’ve got
It’s all that I’ve got
It’s all that I’ve got
It’s all that I’ve got!
So deep that it didn’t even bleed and catch me
So deep that I didn’t even scream fuck me
I’ll be just fine
Pretending I’m not
I’m far from lonely
And it’s all that I’ve got
I’ll be just fine
Pretending I’m not
I’m far from lonely
And it’s all that I’ve got
And it’s all that I’ve got
Yeah, it’s all that I’ve got

- 5. Fight For All The Wrong Reasons – Nickelback
Lyrics
Well I wanted you
I wanted no one else
I thought it through
I got you to myself
You got off
Every time you got on to me
I got caught up
In favorable slavery
Was it wrong? Was it wrong?
[CHORUS]
I guess it wasn’t really right
I guess it wasn’t meant to be
It didn’t matter what they said
‘Cause we were good in bed
I guess I stuck around so I could watch us fight
for all the wrong reasons
No, it didn’t matter what I tried
It’s just a little hard to leave
When you’re going down on me
I guess I stuck around so I could watch us fight
for all the wrong reasons
Well you know my friends
Well they know your enemies
I’d pretend
Not to hear what they said to me
‘Cause I got off
Every time you got on to me
Was it wrong
To go along with insanity?
Was it wrong? Was it wrong?
[CHORUS]
[x4]
I guess it wasn’t what I wanted
Wasn’t really what I thought
Thought it was the day I got
I want it all to go away(x4)
[CHORUS]

- 6. Beverly Hills – Weezer
Lyrics
Where I come from isn’t all that great
My automobile is a piece of crap
My fashion sense is a little whack
And my friends are just as screwy as me
I didn’t go to boarding schools
Preppy girls never looked at me
Why should they I ain’t nobody
Got nothing in my pocket
[Chorus]
Beverly Hills – That’s where I want to be! (Gimme Gimme)
Living in Beverly Hills…
Beverly Hills – Rolling like a celebrity! (Gimme Gimme)
Living in Beverly Hills…
Look at all those movie stars
They’re all so beautiful and clean
When the housemaids scrub the floors
They get the spaces in between
I wanna live a life like that
I wanna be just like a king
Take my picture by the pool
Cause I’m the next big thing!
[Chorus]
The truth is…I don’t stand a chance
Its something that you’re born into…
And I just don’t belong…
No I don’t – I’m just a no class, beat down fool
And I will always be that way
I might as well enjoy my life
And watch the stars play
[Chorus]

- 7. Some Say – Sum 41
Lyrics
Some say we’re never meant to grow up
I’m sure they never knew enough
I know the pressures won’t go away
It’s too late
Find out the difference somehow
It’s too late to even have faith
Don’t think things will ever change
You must be dreaming
Think before you make up your mind
You don’t seem to realize
I can do this on my own
And if I fall I’ll take it all
It’s so easy after all
Believe me ’cause now’s the time to try
Don’t wait, the chance will pass you by
Time’s up to figure it out
You can’t say it’s too late
Seems like everything we knew
Turned out were never even true
Don’t trust, things will never change
You must be dreaming
Think before you make up your mind
You don’t seem to realize
I can do this on my own
And if I fall I’ll take it all
It’s so easy after all
Some say we’re better off without
Knowing what life is all about
I’m sure they’ll never realize the way
It’s too late
Somehow it’s different everyday
In some ways it never fades away
Seems like it’s never gonna change
I must be dreaming
Think before you make up your mind
You don’t seem to realize
I can do this on my own
Think before you make up your mind
You don’t seem to realize
I can do this on my own
And if I fall I’ll take it all
It’s so easy after all
Believe me, it’s alright
It’s so easy after all
Believe me, it’s alright
It’s so easy after all

- 8. Remedy – Seether
Lyrics
Throw your dollar bills and leave your thrills all here with me
And speak but don’t pretend I won’t defend you anymore you see
It aches in every bone, I’ll die alone, but not for you
My eyes don’t need to see that ugly thing, I know it’s me you fear
If you want me hold me back
Frail, the skin is dry and pale, the pain will never fail
And so we go back to the remedy
Clip the wings that get you high, just leave them where they lie
And tell yourself, “You’ll be the death of me”
I don’t need a friend, I need to mend so far away
So come sit by the fire and play a while, but you can’t stay too long
It aches in every bone, I’ll die alone, but not for pleasure
I see my heart explode, it’s been eroded by the weather here
If you want me hold me back
Frail, the skin is dry and pale, the pain will never fail
And so we go back to the remedy
Clip the wings that get you high, just leave them where they lie
And tell yourself, “You’ll be the death of me”
Frail, the skin is dry and pale, the pain will never fail
And so we go back to the remedy
Clip the wings that get you high, just leave them where they lie
And tell yourself, “You’ll be the death of me”
Hold your eyes closed, take me in
Hold your eyes closed, take me in
Frail, the skin is dry and pale, the pain will never fail
And so we go back to the remedy
Clip the wings that get you high, just leave them where they lie
And tell yourself, “You’ll be the death of me”
Frail, the skin is dry and pale, the pain will never fail
And so we go back to the remedy
Clip the wings that get you high, just leave them where they lie
And tell yourself, “You’ll be the death of me”

- 10. When The Night Feels My Song – Bedouin Soundclash
Lyrics
I’m on the rocky road,
Heading down off the mountain slope,
And as my steps echo (echo) louder than before
Another day is done,
Say good-bye to the setting sun,
See what I found, turn back to the ground just like before
And hey hey hey, hey hey hey (hey!)
Hey Beautiful day (hey! hey!)
Hey Beautiful day
Hey, hey hey hey
Hey Beautiful day (hey! hey!)
Hey Beautiful day
When the night feels my song,
I’ll be home, I’ll be home
Into the undergrowth,
Twist and turn on a lonely road
In the twilight the day turns to night and I’m alone
And when the light has left,
I’m not sure of my every step
I’ll Follow the wind that pushes me west back to my bed
And hey hey hey, hey hey hey (hey!)
Hey Beautiful day (hey! hey!)
Hey Beautiful day.
Hey, hey hey hey (hey!)
Hey Beautiful day (hey! hey!)
Hey Beautiful day.
When the night feels my song,
I’ll be home, I’ll be home
(x 3)

- 11. Untitled (How Could This Happen To Me?) – Simple Plan
Lyrics
I open my eyes
I try to see but I’m blinded by the white light
I can’t remember how
I can’t remember why
I’m lying here tonight
And I can’t stand the pain
And I can’t make it go away
No I can’t stand the pain
How could this happen to me
I made my mistakes
I’ve got no where to run
The night goes on
As I’m fading away
I’m sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me
Everybody’s screaming
I try to make a sound but no one hears me
I’m slipping off the edge
I’m hanging by a thread
I wanna start this over again
So I try to hold onto a time when nothing mattered
And I can’t explain what happened
And I can’t erase the things that I’ve done
No I can’t
How could this happen to me
I made my mistakes
I’ve got no where to run
The night goes on
As I’m fading away
I’m sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me
I made my mistakes
I’ve got no where to run
The night goes on
As I’m fading away
I’m sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

Haha haha haha haha
Haha haha haha haha ha
Feel good
Feel good
Feel good
Feel good
Feel good
Feel good
Feel good
Feel good
Feel good
City’s breakin’ down on a camel’s back
They just have to go ‘cos they don’t know when
So all you fill the streets it’s appealing to see
You won’t get out the county, ‘cos you’re bad and free
You’ve got a new horizon it’s ephemeral style
A melancholy town where we never smile
And all I wanna hear is the message beep
My dreams, they gotta catch me, ‘cos I don’t get sleep, no
Windmill, windmill for the land
Turn forever hand in hand
Take it all in on your stride
It is sticking, falling down
Love forever, love is free
Let’s turn forever you and me
Windmill, windmill for the land
Is everybody in?
Laughing gas these hazmats, fast cats
Lining them up like ass cracks
Ladies, ponies, at the track
It’s my chocolate attack
Shit, I’m stepping in the heart of this here
(Here)
Care bear reppin’ in the heart of this here
(Here)
Watch me as I gravitate
Haha haha ha
Yo, we goin’ to ghost town, this Motown
With yo’ sound you in the blink
Gon’ bite the dust, can’t fight with us
With your sound you kill the Inc.
So, don’t stop, get it, get it
(Get it)
Until you’re cheddar header
Watch the way I navigate
Haha haha ha
Feel good
Feel good
Feel good
Feel good
Windmill, windmill for the land
Turn forever hand in hand
Take it all in on your stride
It is sticking, falling down
Love forever, love is free
Let’s turn forever you and me
Windmill, windmill for the land
Is everybody in?
Don’t stop, shit it, get it
We are your captains in it

- 13. Santa Monica – Theory Of A Deadman
Lyrics
She fills my bed with gasoline
You think I wouldn’t notice
Her mind’s made up
The love is gone
I think someone’s trying to show us a sign
That even if we thought it would last
The moment would pass
My bones will break and my heart would give
Oh, it hurts to live
And I remember the day when you left for Santa Monica
You left me to remain with all your excuses for everything
And I remember the time when you left for Santa Monica
And I remember the day you told me it’s over
It hurts to breathe
Well every time that you’re not next to me
Her mind’s made up
The girl is gone
And now I’m forced to see
I think I’m on my way
Oh, it hurts to live today
Oh and she says “Don’t you wish you were dead like me?”
And I remember the day when you left for Santa Monica
You left me to remain with all your excuses for everything
And I remember the time when you left for Santa Monica
And I remember the day you told me it’s over
I wanted more than this
I needed more than this
I deserve more than this
But it just won’t stop
It just won’t go away
I needed more than this
I wanted more than this
I asked for more than this
But it just won’t stop
It just won’t go away
And I remember the day when you left for Santa Monica
You left me to remain with all your excuses for everything
And I remember the time when you left it all behind
And I remember the day you told me it’s over
And I remember the day when you left for Santa Monica
You left me to remain with all your excuses for everything
And I remember the time when you left for Santa Monica
Yeah, I remember the day you told me it’s over

- 14. No Transitory – Alexisonfire
Lyrics
I’m in a constant state of getting cut
So why don’t I feel anything?!
This is a violation
Maybe I forgot what it was like
Before it entered me
So this is what they call
Another endless night
So tired of believing
If this is wrong or right
I think this cause is lost
I wish that I could sleep
I feel like some kind of shadow
Another slave to the weak
Imagine if we lived
Under the weather
We would never be found
Never discovered
If everything goes wrong
If it’s one more endless night
You know there always tomorrow
And tomorrow (x8)
you know there’s always tomorrow
Tomorrow
And this knife, this knife
This is my most
This is my most
This is my most
Important appendage
This is my most
This is my most
This is my most
Important appendage
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
So now that your whole world
Has gone up into flames
This night is still never ending
Do you think you’re still safe?
Seems everything went wrong
We were discovered
But this time there’s no tomorrow
And tomorrow(x4)
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
And this knife! This knife!

- 15. Middle Of Nowhere – Hot Hot Heat
Lyrics
Don’t get mad if I’m laughing
Blame the caffeine for all the 5 am phone calls
I haven’t slept a single night in over a month
And not even once did you start to make sense to me
Well maybe I’m a little bit slow, or just consistently inconsistent
She said, “Unpredictability’s my responsibility, baby.”
But you’re waiting at the door where everybody’s hanging out just like they hung out before
You didn’t have to do it but you did it to say
That you didn’t have to do it but you would anyway
To give you something to go on when I go off back to the middle of nowhere
To give you something to go on when I go off back to the middle of nowhere
They chewed me up and then they spit me out
And I’m not supposed to let it bother me
But maybe I’m a little bit weak – I let my frailty take the wheel
She said, “Maybe there’s a bit of me waiting for a bit of you. baby.”
But you’re waiting at the door where everybody’s hanging out just like they hung out before
You didn’t have to do it but you did it to say
That you didn’t have to do it but you would anyway
To give you something to go on when I go off back to the middle of nowhere
To give you something to go on when I go off back to the middle of nowhere
But you’re waiting at the door where everybody’s hanging out just like they hung out before
You didn’t have to do it but you did it to say
That you didn’t have to do it but you would anyway
To give you something to go on when I go off back to the middle of nowhere
To give you something to go on when I go off back to the middle of nowhere
To give you something to go on – to go on back to the middle of nowhere

Lyrics
Hey sister why you all alone?
I’m standing out your window
Hey little sister, can I come inside, dear?
I wanna show you all my love
I wanna be the only one
I know you like nobody ever, baby
Little sister can’t you find another way
No more livin’ life behind a shadow
[X2]
You whisper secrets in my ear
Slowly dancing cheek to cheek
It’s such a sweet thing when you open up, baby
They say I’ll only do you wrong
We come together cause I understand
Just who you really are, baby

Lyrics
Let it come down, Let it come down
Let it come down, Let it come down
Thinkin’ out loud, Thinkin’ out loud

You’re alone and you stand there
On the phone cryin’ my name
You’re alone desolation

Come down please come help me out
Take me, take me, get me out of here
Come down please come help me out

Come down please come help me out
(Won’t you help me out)
Take me, take me, get me out of here
Come down please come help me out

- 18. Dirty Water – K-OS Feat. Sam Roberts
Lyrics
I don’t know where I’m coming from
Only know where I belong
There’s dirty water in my bones
She… I know she will follow me
But she ain’t got no sympa…
She ain’t got no sympathy, and I got soul but no money
She ain’t got no sympathy, and I got soul but no money
Alright, okay, yeah
Alright, okay, yeah
Alright, okay, yeah
At the age of eighteen,
Came on the scene clean,
Now I know what pains means.
Spent time in the darkest places,
Beautiful faces in the dark oasis.
Trying to take this to the full extent.
Am I real heaven sent?
Clark Kent’s my alter ego.
Took that girl down to Puerto Rico.
Now I find out that we’re not amigos.
Treated her foul never as an equal
Now I’m all sad just because my ego,
Had a golden key, couldn’t find a key hole.
Yo, stop let the beat rock,
Conscious hip hop is gettin dropped.
Wake up saw B and the little one,
Little son had b-phids done.
Easy come, easy go.
Everyone thinks they know,
’bout the thing, high unknown.
Put their thoughts on a throne,
Then they name it G-O-D,
Colonize, you and me.
But I’m free, in the sky,
Me, myself, and I. Word.
I don’t know where I’m coming from
Only know where I belong
There’s dirty water in my bones
She… I know that she will follow me
But she ain’t got no sympa…
She ain’t got no sympathy, and I got soul but no money
She ain’t got no sympathy, and I got soul but no money
Alright, okay, yeah
Alright, okay, yeah
Alright, okay, yeah
I was walkin down the mountainside.
No matter what I did I couldn’t hide,
From all the things inside of me.
Seems that I was living fantasy,
Singing, oh, how time flies, with crystal clear eyes.
This life I know is gone.
Oh, how time flies, with crystal clear eyes.
This girl I like is gone, and now I leave home.
She ain’t got no sympathy, and I got soul but no money
She ain’t got no sympathy, and I got soul but no money
