 7.6  (No sites really seem to have the same interpretation of Nirvana lyrics, but I've put down what I'm fairly sure is correct.) Song: Downer "Hand out lobotomies, to save little families Surrealistic fantasy, bland, boring, plain." Song: Aneurysm "Come on over and do the twist, Overdo it and have a fit, Love you so much it makes me sick, Come on over and shoot the shit." Song: Serve The Servants "Teenage angst has paid off well, now I'm bored and old." Song: Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle "In her false witness, we hope you're still with us To see if they float or drown Our favorite patient, a display of patience Disease-covered Puget Sound She'll come back as fire, to burn all the liars And leave a blanket of ash on the ground I miss the comfort in being sad" Song: On A Plain "I love myself better than you I know it's wrong so what should I do? The finest day that I've ever had Was when I learned to cry on command" dizzy_claire's rating:

 Song: Township Rebellion "Rebel, rebel and yell 'Cause our people still dwell in hell Locked in a cell Yes, the structure's a cell Mad is the story I tell How long can we wait?

Song: No Shelter "The main attraction - distraction got ya number than number than numb Empty ya pockets son; they got you thinkin' that What ya need is what they sellin' Make you think that buyin' is rebellin' From the theaters to malls on every shore Tha thin line between entertainment and war The frontline is everywhere, there be no shelter here Spielberg the nightmare works so push it far Amistad was a whip, the truth was feathered and tarred Memory erased, burned and scarred Trade in ya history for a VCR." dizzy_claire's rating:
7.7  Song: So Real "We walked around til the moon got full like a plate The wind blew an invocation and I fell asleep at the gate And I never stepped on the cracks 'cause I thought I'd hurt my mother And I couldn't awake from the nightmare that sucked me in and pulled me under Pulled me under Oh... that was so real."

We want the world and we want it... Now Now? Now!"

Song: Death To Birth "To find the found of sound That hears the touch of my tears Smells the taste of all we waste Could feed the others But we smother each other with the nectar And pucker the sour A bittersweet weather It blows through our trees Swims through our seas Fly's through the last gasp we left On this earth." Song: Alone "No ring ring to infect my phone Nobody’s calling, no one’s home Except silence and her lovely lovely tone I swear I’m alone I’ll just sit here in my hotel room I’ll just sit here in my rented tomb I’ll just sit, enjoy the view I’ll just sit and watch the world go. dizzy_claire's rating:
7.6  Song: Delicate "We might live like never before When there's nothing to give Well how can we ask for more?

Song: Volcano "You give me miles and miles of mountains And I'll ask for the sea."

Song: The Garden That You Planted "Now it's only work Each day bleeding into the next Barely scraping by I tire myself out just so I can rest But rest it rarely comes When it does I cannot go home Because it's much too quiet Seems I'm not suited to being alone Everyone around me has changed But the garden that you planted remains." Song: Winter Windows "I thought I loved you and our love would be forever How could I hit you, the only one who ever loved me?"

8.1  Song: Faded From The Winter "Daddy's ghost behind you Sleeping dog beside you You're a poem of mystery You're the prayer inside me Spoken words like moonlight You're the voice that I like Needlework and seedlings In the way you're walking To me from the timbers Faded from the winter." Song: Naked As We Came "She says "wake up, it's no use pretending" I'll keep stealing, breathing her. Birds are leaving over autumn's ending One of us will die inside these arms Eyes wide open, naked as we came One will spread our ashes 'round the yard."

Song: A Sunday Smile "We burned to the ground, left a view to admire With buildings inside, church of white We burned to the ground, left a grave to admire And as we reach for the sky, reach the church of white A Sunday smile, you wore it for a while A Sunday mile, we paused and sang A Sunday smile, you wore it for a while A Sunday mile, we paused and sang A Sunday smile, and we felt true." Song: Nantes "Well it's been a long time, long time now since I've seen you smile and I'll gamble away my fright and I'll gamble away my time and in a year, a year or so this will slip into the sea well it's been a long time, long time now since I've seen you smile nobody raise their voices just another night to mourn to nobody raise their voices just another night to mourn to."

I'm so happy. Cause today I found my friends.
They're in my head. I'm so ugly. But that's ok.
'Cause so are you. We've broke our mirrors.
Love the humour in that song :D
Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand
In a...desperate land
Lost in a Roman...wilderness of pain
" On your back with your racks as the stacks are your load
In the back and the racks and the stacks of your load
In the back with your racks and you're un-stacking your load
This is not the sound of a new man or crispy realization
It's the sound of the unlocking and the lift away
Your love will be
Safe with me "
Great list though = ]
