24th Song: New Order - Age of Consent

Won't you please let me go
These words lie inside they hurt me so
And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you
Just what I want to do
I'm not the kind that needs to tell you
Just what you want me to

I saw you this morning
I thought that you might like to know
I received your message in full a few days ago
I understood every word that it said
And now that I've actually heard it
You're going to regret

And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you
Just what you want me to
You're not the kind that needs to tell me
About the birds and the bees

Do you find this happens all the time
Crucial point one day becomes a crime
And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you
Just what I want to do
I'm not the kind that needs to tell you

I've lost you [x5]
I've lost you [x5]
I've lost you [x5]

23rd Song: Stars - Changes

Stars - Changes (Uncensored) from Stars on Vimeo.

This time in between the day and the night
the light kills my sense of life
so scared, turn it off, turn it off

It's dull, this dusk, this desk, this dust
My eyes adjust
I'll blow out the flame
Can you and me remain?

Changes, never been good with change
I hate it when it all stays the same
caught between the gold and the game
Changes, never been good with change
I hate it when it all stays the same
caught between the cold and the waves
My heart beats up, again

Once said, words make a world of their own
I misread
I can't get you back on the phone
I'm so tired, so turn it off, turn it off
How's that, last week we were home
you're far away
and I hardly know
Can you and me delay?

Changes, never been good with change
I hate it when it all stays the same
caught between the gold and the game
Changes, never been good with change
troubled when it all stays the same
caught between this cold and the waves
My heart beats up, again

Are you my trouble
Are you my trouble

22nd song: Page France- Chariot

Swing, like a chariot
At the trumpet call
When we're all unsaved,
Swing like a wrecking ball
Like the heart of god
What a mystery
Filled with the wedding feast
For the snakes and bees
With the angel teeth, swing
Come and carry us
Come and marry us
To the blushing circus king
And dance like elephants as he comes to us
Through a fiery golden ring
With a violin and a song to sing
As he brings for us our wings
Now he's one of us
Plays the tambourine
Breaks the bread for us
And sings
Will you wait for us
Will you stay for us
Will you grace us everything
You're a wrecking ball
With a heart of gold
People wait for it, swing
Like a chariot
Swing it low for us
Come and carry us away
So we will become a happy ending
So we will become a happy ending
Fire come and carry us
Make us shine or make us rust
Tell us that you care for us
We need to hear a word for us
Let your body stand with us
Or let our rags be turned to dust
Chariot you swing for us
We think that you can carry all of us
So we will become a happy ending
So we will become a happy ending
So we will become a happy ending

21st Song: New Order - Love Less

There was a time I call before
When all I knew was what I saw
The keeper of a major key
I lived in a town called Liberty

I worked hard
To give you all the things that you need
And almost anything that you see
I spent a lifetime working on you
And you won't even talk to me

Can't you see
Why don't you look at me
It's not your right to be
So much my enemy

I knew that I could never give
You knew that you could not forgive
No price or pride would fall before
A ten foot wall without a door

But you know
I watch every step that you make
To find some other fool you can take
And I don't know why I even try
Because it all comes down to this

Can't you see
Why don't you look at me
It's not your right to be
So much my enemy

Can't you see
Why don't you look at me
It's not your right to be
So much my enemy

I worked hard
To give you all the things that you need
And almost anything that you see
I spent a lifetime working on you
And you won't even talk to me

11th song: YUCK - Milkshake



back in june, i'll pull the plug out
and push the penny in a poem
i am sorry i admit that
admit that what i did was wrong

i don't wanna get you down
i just need to be around
treating me so unkind
you are making a milkshake of my mind

in july, i pull the plug out
and watch the water wash away
i get high to dream and pin out
and i get higher everyday

i don't wanna get you down
i just need to be around
baby, you are so unkind
you are making a milkshake of my mind


12th song: Cherry Bombshell - Luka

13th song: Sondre Lerche - I Cannot Let You Go




With a sleight of hand
and a force of will
Closets full of odd-sized shoes to fill
I better be a gifted kid To undo some of the deeds you did

In 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
You're gonna be alone, gonna be alone, it's gonna be late
Forgive you anything
I try to shake it but it just won't do
And it's all coming back to me now
So we'll pretend, I'll make up something new You can push me away but I cannot let you go (let you go)
I cannot let you go (let you go)
I cannot let you go

The rubber band
is wearing thin
bursting as reality kicks in
All hope should be
at long last lost
but you'll defy all sense at any cost

In 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
You're gonna be alone, gonna be alone, it's gonna be late
Forgive you anything
I try to shake it but it just won't do
And it's all coming back to me now
So we'll pretend, I'll make up something new
But there's no getting back to the start
I try to shake it but it just won't do
You can push me away but
I cannot let you go (let you go)
I cannot let you go (let you go)
I cannot let you go
I cannot let you go

In 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
You're gonna be alone, gonna be alone, it's gonna be late
Forgive you anything
I try to shake it but it just won't do
And it's all coming back to me now
So let's pretend, I'll make up something new
But there's no getting back to the start
I'll be a father, you can be a son
'til I can't even tell us apart
I try to shake it but the deal is done
You can push me away but
I cannot let you go (let you go)
I cannot let you go (let you go)
Try as I may, I know
I cannot let you go
I cannot let you go

20th song: Death Cab for Cutie - You are a Tourist




This fire grows higher

When there's a burning in your heart
An endless yearning in your heart
Build it bigger than the sun
Let it grow, let it grow
When there's a burning in your heart
Don't be alarmed

This fire grows higher

When there's a doubt within your mind
Because you're thinking all the time
Framing rights into wrongs
Move along, move along
When there's a doubt within your mind

When there's a burning in your heart
And you think it'll burst apart
Or there's nothing to feel
Save the tears, save the tears
When there's a burning in your heart

And if you feel just like a tourist in the city you were born
Then it's time to go
And define your destination
There's so many different places to call home
Because when you find yourself the villain in the story you have written
It's plain to see
That sometimes the best intentions are in need of redemptions
Would you agree?
If so please show me

This fire grows higher
When there's a burning in your heart

5th song: Shout Out Louds- Play the Game





6th song: Brandon Flowers - Only the young


"Only The Young"

Look back in silence
The cradle of your whole life
There in the distance
Losing its greatest pride
Nothing is easy, nothing is sacred, why?
Where did the bow break?
It happened before your time

And there were people there
Lovely as you'd ever care
Tonight, baby, you can start again
Laughing in the open air
Have yourself another dream
Tonight, baby, we can start again

Only the young can break away, break away
Lost when the wind blows, on your own
Only the young can break away, break away
Lost when the wind blows, on your own

Mother, it's cold here
Father, thy will be done
Thunder and lightning are crashing down
They got me on the run
Direct me to the sun
Redemption, keep my covers clean tonight
Baby, we can start again

Only the young can break away, break away
Lost when the wind blows, on your own
Only the young can break away, break away
Lost when the wind blows, on your own

And the sun will shine again
And the sun will shine again
Are you looking for a sign?
Or are you caught up in the lie?


7th song: Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Little Shadow


Patience, shadow. While you're sick, there's no sight to see.
Little shadow, little shadow.
To the night, will you follow me?
Pardon, shadow, hold on tight to your darkened key.
Little shadow, little shadow.
To the night, will you follow me?

Closer, shadow, volume strikes, still we're cut free
of this song, little shadow
To the night, will you follow me?
Hey, shadow, stars, break of dawn, take a turn for stars, to my fantasy
Little shadow, to the night, will you follow me?

8th song: Kings of Convenience - I Don't Know What I Can Save You From



8th song: Chapterhouse - Breather



9th song: Charlotte Gainsbourg - Heaven Can Wait



She's sliding, she's sliding
Down to the dregs of the world
She's fighting, she's fighting
The urge to make sand out of pearls

Heaven can wait
And hell's too far to go
Somewhere between what you need
And you know
And they are trying to drive
The escalator into the ground

She's hiding, she's hiding
On a battleship with baggage to roam
There's thunder, there's lightning
And an avalanche of faces you know.

Heaven can wait
And hell's too far to go
Somewhere between what you need
And you know
And they are trying to drive
The escalator into the ground

And you left your credentials
In a Greyhound station
With a first aid kit and a flashlight
Going to a desert unknown

4th Song: The Primitives - Emphatise

earth and sea, wind and flame

you and me, we’re the same

we remain, have no shame

take my hand, don’t be shy

hold me and kiss my eyes

tell no lies, empathise

I want you to be like me

to be like me

I want you to be like me

to see like me

steal your will little one

friendship thrill to belong

can’t go wrong

sing my song

take my hand, don’t be shy

hold me and kiss my eyes

tell no lies, empathise

I want you to be like me

to be like me

I want you to be like me

to see like me

I want you

I want you

I want you to be like me

to see like me

to feel like me

to be like me

(earth and sea, wind and flame

you and me, we’re the same)
