Glory and gore - Lorde

There's a humming in the restless summer air
And we're slipping off the course that we prepared
But in all chaos there is calculation
Dropping glasses just to hear them break
You've been drinking like the world was gonna end (it didn't)
Took a shiner from the fist of your best friend (go figure)
It's clear that someone's gotta go
We mean it, but I promise we're not mean

And the cry goes out
They lose their minds for us and how it plays out
Now we're in the ring and we're coming for blood

You could try and take us
But we're the gladiators
Everyone a rager
But secretly they're saviours
Glory and gore go hand in hand
That's why we're making headlines
You could try and take us
But victory's contagious

Delicate in every way but one (the swordplay)
God knows we like archaic kinds of fun (the old way)
Chance is the only game I play with, baby
We let our battles choose us

And the cry goes out
They lose their minds for us and how it plays out
Now we're in the ring and we're coming for blood

You could try and take us
But we're the gladiators
Everyone a rager
But secretly they're saviours
Glory and gore go hand in hand
That's why we're making headlines
You could try and take us
But victory's contagious

No-one around here's good at keeping their eyes closed
The sun's starting to light up when we're walking home
Tired little laughs, gold lie promises
We'll always win at this, I don't ever think about death
It's alright if you do, it's fine
We gladiate but I guess we're really fighting ourselves
Roughing up our minds so we're ready when the kill time comes
Wide awake in bed, words in my brain
“Secretly you love this, do you even wanna go free?”
Let me in the ring, I'll show you what that big word means

You could try and take us
But we're the gladiators
Everyone a rager
But secretly they're saviours
Glory and gore go hand in hand
That's why we're making headlines
You could try and take us
But victory's contagious

Beautiful crime - Tamer

Each step I left behind
Each road you know is mine
Walking on the line ten stories high
Say you'll still be by my side

If I could take your hand
If you could understand
That I can barely breathe, the air is thin
I fear the fall and where we'll land

We fight every night for something
When the sun sets we're both the same
Half in the shadows
Half burned in flames
We can't look back for nothing
Take what you need, say your goodbyes
I gave you everything
And it's a beautiful crime

Each breath I left behind
Each breath you take is mine
Walking on the line ten stories high
Fear a fall, you're asking why

We're leaving the things we lost
Leaving the ones we've crossed
I have to make an end, so we begin
To save my soul at any cost

We fight every night for something
When the sun sets we're both the same
Half in the shadows
Half burned in flames
We can't look back for nothing
Take what you need, say your goodbyes
I gave you everything
This darkness is the light

This darkness is the light

We fight every night for something
When the sun sets we're both the same
Half in the shadows
Half burned in flames
We can't go back for nothing
Take what you need, say your goodbyes
(I gave you everything)
And it's a beautiful crime

Immortal - Marina And The Diamonds

I wanna be immortal
Like a God in the sky
I wanna be a silk flower
Like I'm never gonna die
I wanna live forever
Forever in your heart
And we'll always be together
From the end to the start

That's what we do it for
To reserve a place
It's just another part of the human race
That's what we do it for
To reserve a space
In history, it's just
Part of the human race, race
(Race, race, race, race, race, race)

I'm forever chasing after time
But everybody dies, dies
If I could buy forever at a price
I would buy it twice, twice
But if the earth ends in fire
And the seas are frozen in time
There'll be just one survivor
The memory that I was yours
And you were mine
Everybody dies, dies
Chasing after time, time

When you love somebody
They'll always leave too soon
But a memory, a memory
Can make a flower bloom
We wanna be remembered
Don't wanna live in vain
But nothing lasts forever
This world is in a losing game

I wanna mean something to somebody else
Feel a significance in the real world
It's not enough to live out a lucky life

I'm forever chasing after time
But everybody dies, dies
If I could buy forever at a price
I would buy it twice, twice
But if the earth ends in fire
And the seas are frozen in time
There'll be just one survivor
The memory that I was yours
And you were mine
Everybody dies, dies
Chasing after time, time

No, I don't wanna be afraid
Afraid to die, die, die
I just wanna be able to say
That I have lived my life, life
Oh, all the things that humans do
To leave behind a little proof
But the only thing that doesn't die is love, love, love
Love, love

I'm forever chasing after time
But everybody dies, dies
If I could buy forever at a price
I would buy it twice, twice
But if the earth ends in fire
And the seas are frozen in time
There'll be just one survivor
The memories of our lifetime
Everybody dies, dies
Chasing after time, time

So keep me alive
So keep me alive
So keep me alive, alive

Five to one - The Doors

Yeah, c'mon
Love my girl
She looking good
C'mon
One more

Five to one, baby, one in five
No one here gets out alive now
You get yours, baby, I'll get mine
Gonna make it, baby, if we try

The old get old and the young gets stronger
May take a week and it may take longer
They got the guns but we got the numbers
Gonna win, yeah, we're taking over, come on

Your ballroom days are over, baby
Night is drawing near
Shadows of the evening
Crawl across the years

You walk across the floor with a flower in your hand
Trying to tell me no one understands
Trade in your hours for a handful of dimes
Gonna make it, baby, in our prime

Come together one more time
Get together one more time
Get together one more time
Get together one more time

Get together one more time
Get together one more time
Get together one more time
Get together one more time
Get together, gotta get together

Hey, c'mon, honey
Won't have long wait for me, baby
I'll be there in just a little while
You see, I gotta go out in this car with these people and

Get together one more time
Get together one more time
Get together, got to
Get together, got to
Get together, got to
Take you up in my room and
Hah, hah, hah, hah, hah

Love my girl
She looking good, looking real good
Love you, c'mon

Shoot your gun - 22-20s

Spin me some sad story
Sell me some excuse
To help me understand the things you do
Cause the way you treat your lovers
Well, I just can't relate
And where'd you learn to shoot your gun so straight?

Oh baby, won't you cry?
Show me there’s some tears behind your eyes
Oh baby, won't you cry?
Show me there's a hurt behind your eyes

Once you had a reason
And once you had a place
You had it all and laid it all to waste
And I know you hate to need us
But why'd you need to hate?
And where'd you learn to shoot without restraint?

Oh baby, won't you cry?
You cut yourself so let me see you bleed
Oh baby, won't you cry?
Cry for all the things you'll never be

Oh baby, won't you cry?
Show me there’s some tears behind your eyes
Oh baby, won't you cry?
Why'd you have to kill to feel alive?
Why'd you have to kill to feel alive?
Why'd you have to kill to feel alive?

Big bad world - Kodaline

Maybe I'm wrong
Or maybe I'm right
Maybe it's just too late but this is keeping me awake all night
Maybe say yes or maybe say no
Maybe I'm just too shy to admit that it is time to go

We go out on our own
It's a big bad world outside
Carrying our dreams and all that they mean
Trying to make it all worthwhile

Maybe believe
Or maybe don't care
Shit, maybe there is no god in the big white clouds up there
Maybe live long
Or maybe die young
Or maybe live every day like it's your last day under the sun

We go out on our own
It's a big bad world outside
Carrying our dreams and all that they mean
Trying to make it all worthwhile

We go out on our own
It's a big bad world outside
Carrying our dreams and all that they mean
Try to make it all feel right

We go out on our own
It's a big bad world outside
Carrying our dreams and all that they mean
Trying to make it all worthwhile

We go out on our own
It's a big bad world outside
Carrying our dreams and all that they mean
Trying to make it all worthwhile

Seven nation army - The White Stripes

I'm gonna fight 'em off
A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back

And I'm talking to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette

And the message coming from my eyes
Says leave it alone

Don't want to hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell

And if I catch it coming back my way
I'm gonna serve it to you
And that ain't what you want to hear
But that's what I'll do

And the feeling coming from my bones
Says find a home

I'm going to Wichita
Far from this opera for evermore
I'm gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore

And I'm bleeding and I'm bleeding and I'm bleeding
Right before the Lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me
And I will think no more

And the stains coming from my blood
Tell me go back home

Stay gold - First Aid Kit

The sun shone high those few summer days
Left us in a song, wide-eyed haze
It shone like gold
It shone like gold

But just as the moon it shines straight
So dawn goes down today
No gold can stay
No gold can stay

What if our hard work ends in despair?
What if the road won't take me there?
Oh, I wish for once we could stay gold

What if to love and be loved is not enough?
What if I fall and can't bear to get up?
Oh, I wish for once we could stay gold
We could stay gold

We're on our way through rugged land
Top of that mountain we wanted to stand
With hearts of gold
With hearts of gold

But there is only forward, no other way
Tomorrow was your hope at the end of the day
And gold turns gray
And gold turns gray

What if our hard work ends in despair?
What if the road won't take me there?
Oh, I wish for once we could stay gold

What if to love and be loved is not enough?
What if I fall and can't bear to get up?
Oh, I wish for once we could stay gold
We could stay gold

All of my dreams, they fall and form a bridge
Of memories where I can get back
All of my dreams, they fall and form a bridge
Of memories where I can't get back to you

What if our hard work ends in despair?
What if the road won't take me there?
Oh, I wish for once we could stay gold

What if to love and be loved is not enough?
What if I fall and can't bear to get up?
Oh, I wish for once we could stay gold
We could stay gold

Could stay gold
Stay gold

Master pretender - First Aid Kit

Never thought that I was weak
Always thought I could get hurt pretty bad
Still get up on my own two feet

I always believed that I was free
That I had some sense of integrity
That would rise above whatever tried to change me

But, honey, now I won't wait
For something to bring me around and smile
Cause that only sticks for a while
Then I'm back again

Oh, I'm a master pretender

I always knew that I was young
But with a head held high and a shotgun
I could fool almost anyone

I never expected to be struck
By the fatal hands of fortune
Or by sheer bad luck

But, honey, now we won't change
And memories just rearrange
And fall into place
So I'm back again

Oh, I'm a master pretender

All the streets of New York City
Sure it look pretty from way up here
And I was headed home
Just found more alone
The further I'd go

I always thought that you'd be here
But shit gets fucked up
And people just disappear

So honey now don't be mad
Time has told me it can't be that bad
And if it is, well, big goddamn
But I'll stick around

I'll be your master defender
Yeah, I'll stick around
I'll be your master defender

Dance me to the end of love - The Civil Wars

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
And dance me to the end of love
Please, dance me to the end of love

Oh, let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Oh, let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Oh, show me slowly what I only know the limits of
And dance me to the end of love
Please, dance me to the end of love

Oh, dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
And dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
We're both of us beneath our love, and both of us above
And dance me to the end of love
Won't you dance me to the end of love

20 years - The Civil Wars

There's a note underneath your front door
That I wrote twenty years ago
Yellow paper and a faded picture
And a secret in an envelope

There's no reasons, no excuses
There's no second-hand alibis
Just some black ink on some blue lines
And a shadow you won't recognize

In the meantime, I'll be waiting
For twenty years and twenty more
I'll be praying for redemption
And your note underneath my door
And your note underneath my door

Falling - The Civil Wars

Haven't you seen me sleepwalking?
Cause I've been holding your hand
Haven't you noticed me drifting?
Oh, let me tell you I am

Tell me it's nothing
Try to convince me
That I'm not drowning
Oh, let me tell you I am

Please, please tell me you know
I've got to let you go
I can't help falling out of love with you

Why am I feeling so guilty
And why am I holding my breath?
I'm worried about everyone but me
And I just keep losing myself

Oh, tell me it's nothing
And try to convince me
That I'm not drowning
Oh, let me tell you I am

Please, please tell me you know
I've got to let you go
I can't help falling out of love with you

Oh, won't you read my mind?
Don't you make me lie here and die here

Oh, please, please tell me you know
I've got to let you go
I can't help falling out of love with you
With you

Oh, haven't you noticed?
And I, I'm sleepwalking

All these things that I've done - The Killers

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’m 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
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
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

Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down

Yeah, oh, don't you put me on the backburner
You're gonna bring yourself down
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

(Time, truth, hearts)

If you can hold on
If you can hold on
