 43  8.2 Iron & Wine - Boy With a Coin
Boy with a coin he found in the weeds With bullets and pages of trade magazines Close to a car that flipped on the turn When God left the ground to circle the world Girl with a bird she found in the snow That flew up her gown and that's how she knows If God made her eyes for crying at birth Then left the ground to circle the Earth Boy with a coin he crammed in his jeans Then making a wish he tossed in the sea Walked to a town that all of us burn When God left the ground to circle the world mika_'s rating:
 
179 7.7 Sarah Mclachlan - Building a Mystery
You come out at night That's when the energy comes And the dark side's light And the vampires roam You strut your rasta wear And your suicide poem And a cross from a faith that died Before Jesus came You're building a mystery You live in a church Where you sleep with voodoo dolls And you won't give up the search For the Ghost in the halls You wear sandals in the snow And a smile that won't wash away Can you look out the window Without your shadow getting in the way? You're so beautiful With an edge and charm And so careful When I'm in your arms Cause you're working Building a mystery Holding on and holding it in Yeah you're working Building a mystery And choosing so carefully You woke up screaming aloud A prayer from your secret god But you feed off our fears And hold back your tears, oh You give us a tantrum And a know it all grin Just when we need one When the evening's thin You're so beautiful A beautiful fucked up man You're setting up your Razor-wire shrine Cause you're working Building a mystery Holding on and holding it in Yeah you're working Building a mystery And choosing so carefully Ooh you're working Building a mystery Holding on and holding it in Yeah you're working Building a mystery And choosing so carefully Yeah you're working Building a mystery Holding on and holding it in Yeah you're working Building a mystery And choosing so carefully You're building a mystery mika_'s rating:
22 8 Bad Religion - I Want to Conquer the World
Hey brother Christian with your high and mighty errand Your actions speak so loud I can't hear a word you're saying Hey sister bleeding heart with all of your compassion Your labors soothe the hurt but can't assuage temptation Hey man of science with your perfect rules of measure Can you improve this place with the data that you gather? Hey mother mercy can your loins bear fruit forever? Is your fecundity a trammel or a treasure?

Hey mister diplomat with your worldly aspirations Did you see your children cry when you left them at the station? Hey moral soldier you're got righteous proclamation And precious tomes to fuel your pulpy conflagrations I want to conquer the world Give all the idiots a brand new religion Put an end to poverty, uncleanliness and toil Promote equality in all of my decisions I want to conquer the world Expose the culprits and feed them to the children Do away with air pollution And then I'll save the whales We'll have peace on Earth And global communion I want to conquer the world mika_'s rating:
82 7.5 Counting Crows - Angels of the Silences
Well I guess you left me with some feathers in my hand Did it make it any easier to leave me where I stand? I guess there might not be too many who would stand beside you now Where'd you come from? Where am I going? Why'd you leave me 'til I'm only good for Waiting for you All my sins I said that I would pay for them if I could come back to you All my innocence is wasted on the dead and dreaming Every night these silhouettes appear above my head Little angels of the silences that climb into my bed and whisper Every time I fall asleep Every time I dream "Did you come? Would you lie? Why'd you leave us 'til we're only good for Waiting for you" All my sins I said that I would pay for them if I could come back to you All my innocence is wasted on the dead and dreaming I dream of Michelangelo when I'm lying in my bed Little angels hang above my head and read me like an open book And suck my blood, break my nerve, offer me their arms Well I will not be an enemy of anything I'll only stand here Waiting for you All my sins I said that I would pay for them if I could come back to you All my innocence is wasted on the dead and dreaming I'm gone, I'm gone, I believe today I'm gone I'm gone, I'm gone, take me away I'm gone I'm gone, I'm gone, got to leave today I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone mika_'s rating:
 
19 6.8 Bad Religion - The Voracious March of Godliness
Since the start of the 17th century There's been the scent of unseasoned wood burning in the air And the conquest of nature meant nothing at all While we betray exception we take all that's there But motives are translucent in the reflection of shame The actions ghostly remnants of our ancestral ways And unwittingly you just take your place in this parade The voracious march of Godliness makes us all the same anyway Since the dawn of our human family There's been concentrated sepsis blowing in the breeze And we turned on each other with ferocity Desperation, forced, without reprieve But the missions were misguided and the trammeled led astray The air resounds with thunder as the victor seized the day And the haunting voice of history lives ignored but not betrayed The voracious march of Godliness will get us close to Heaven one day mika_'s rating:
39 6.6 Bad Religion - American Jesus
I don't need to be a global citizen 'Cause I'm blessed by nationality I'm a member of a growing populace We enforce our popularity There are things that seem to pull us under and There are things that drag us down But there's a power and a vital presence It's lurking all around We've got the American Jesus See him on the interstate We've got the American Jesus He helped build the president's estate I feel sorry for the Earth's population 'Cause so few live in the U.S.A.

47 8.5 Andrew Bird - Heretics
Born host to a tongue So sing a song about it Held our breath for too long ‘Til we're half sick about it Tell us what we did wrong And you can blame us for it Turn a clamp on our thumbs We'll sew a doll about it And tell us all about it How ‘bout some credit now Where credit is due For the damage that we've done? Wrought upon ourselves and others With a slow and vicious gun And although pratfalls can be fun Encores can be fatal And then I hear you say "Thank God it's fatal Thank God it's fatal Not shy Not shy of fatal Not shy of fatal Thank God" Wait just a second now It's not all that bad Don't you count out the sun. You're making mountains of handkerchiefs Where the mascara always runs So be careful when you're done You're bound to get post-nasal What, did I just hear you say? "Thank God it's fatal" We don't want to hear the sound of a door And we don't want to read the signs that you bore You know, the kind of sign you hang on the door Saying, "we'll be back," what a crack Now don't you think we might have heard that before? Born host to a tongue So sing a song about it Held our breath for too long ‘Til we're half sick about it Tell us what we did wrong And you can blame us for it Turn a clamp on our thumbs We'll sew a doll about it mika_'s rating:

Striking at mental apparitions like a drunk on a vacant street Silently beset by the hands of time and elegant in its fury An aberrant crack as skeletons yield to unrelenting gravity While viruses prowl for helpless victims who succumb rapidly Tell me, tell me where is the love in a careless creation when there's no above? There's no justice, just a cause and a cure And a bounty of suffering it seems we all endure And what I'm frightened of is that they call it God's love Well, we twist in torment and make believe There's a truth that we all submit Believe my eyes, my brain complies To all that they interpret So tell me, tell me where is the love in a careless creation when there's no above? There's no justice, just a cause and a cure And a bounty of suffering it seems we all endure And what I'm frightened of is that they call it God's love I know there's no reason for alarm But who needs perspective when it comes to pain and harm? We can change our minds There's a better prize But first you've got to tell me, tell me where is the love in a careless creation when there's no above?

Transgressions are made While cowards convey With a demon's ear, fixed and set to slay While the statue awaits To be whittled away With a mock of a slogan hiding filth with fear Never to learn Only to burn (and be burned) Branded straight through slate Clear as common day (Go slowly cause at the moment Things you'd never think you'd ever see Are happening and you can't believe the hatred) What shall be the mark to be made? When we crush it all to burn it down Without sight, without sound Not anything but a casualty forgotten in the ground A simple shell, that's solemn still--without sight,without sound Make a martyr A pedestal with ribbons of slaughter Feed the altar Stoke the fire it will take over Ignore the cut, the skin will callus as well as interest If all are reckless none is to profit None is to win it (Go slowly cause at the moment Things you'd never think you'd ever see Are happening and you can't believe the hatred) So who will pay for all the tears All the lives, from either side? All the years, all the time of living blind Playing "God Deciding"? And who will die next in line for the lie? Justified for the rise of sitting high playing "God Deciding" And who will walk away From the rage and revenge? Inhumane consequence comes in time Playing "God Deciding" And who will fall in line to arrive Out of sight and out of mind? Out of mind? Out of mind? Out of...? mika_'s rating:

Oh my God My God this can't be happening God tell me Tell me this isn't real I can't believe all that I have foreseen is finally happening I cannot for a single second stand the way I feel I always knew I always saw it coming Enveloped now Encased by my worst fear I've never felt the nausea of longing to feel nothing I never wanted to cease to exist, just disappear Fear memories are all that lie ahead Never have I felt so lost Fear tragedy is all that lies ahead Never have I felt so dead Once felt so warm Now I'm fucking freezing I am the once embraced abandoned one I raised my eyes up to the light in hopes of finding healing No relief was mine I was burnt by the sun Fear memories are all that lie ahead Never have I felt so lost Fear tragedy is all that lies ahead Never have I felt so dead I feel so I feel so Lost I feel so lost Fear memories are all that lie ahead Never have I felt so lost Fear tragedy is all that lies ahead Never have I felt so dead

Do you feel alive now Now that you own the dead Preying on the corpses Their hearts no longer fed Your sainthood is obvious on every starving face Your deception gives us A way to separate The poor from the hate The rich from the stone Genuflect away the sins that we've known Sure one percent rules, but Heaven's made of gold Chalk it up to folly and consequences alone Do we really want, do we really need A bastard Messiah Wrapped up in the dream of patriotic clean White washed desire And every time the real war's defined The trenches are filled to hide battle lines Torches to bridges and bridges to torture Headlines distort what we see as our borders What gives us the right to feel with remorse For a God they created A God for the poor Do we really want, do we really need A bastard Messiah Wrapped up in the dream of patriotic clean White washed desire For Bathory We're bleeding out The devil hides in angelic shrouds Blasphemy As speaking out We've asked for it For more of the same sad scheme Of ghettos created by the power elite For our minds and souls Burning no longer for freedom invoked More of the same Do we really want, do we really need A bastard Messiah Wrapped up in the dream of patriotic clean White washed desire Your sainthood is obvious on every starving face Your deception's given us a way to separate Do you feel alive now Now that you own the dead More of the same mika_'s rating:

12 8 Bad Religion - The Answer
Long ago in a dusty village Full of hunger, pain and strife A man came forth with a vision of truth And the way to a better life He was convinced he had the answer And he compelled people to follow along But the hunger never vanished And the man was banished And the village dried up and died At a time when wise men peered Through glass tubes towards the sky The heavens changed in predictable ways And one man was able to find That he had thought he found the answer And he was quick to write his revelation But as they were scrutinized In his colleagues eyes He soon became a mockery Don't tell me about the answer 'Cause another one will come along soon I don't believe you have the answer I've got ideas too But if you've got enough naivete And you've got conviction Then the answer is perfect for you An urban sprawl sits choking on its discharge Overwhelmed by industry Searching for a modern day savior from another place Inclined toward charity Everyone's begging for an answer Without regard to validity The searching never ends It goes on and on and on for eternity Don't tell me about the answer 'Cause another one will come along soon I don't believe you have the answer I've got ideas too But if you've got enough naivete And you've got conviction Then the answer is perfect for you

Your class, your caste, your country, sect, your name or your tribe There's people always dying, trying to keep them alive There are bodies decomposing in containers tonight In an abandoned building where A squatter's made a mural of a Mexican girl With fifteen cans of spray paint in a chemical swirl She's standing in the ashes at the end of the world Four winds blowing through her hair But when great Satan's gone, the whore of Babylon She just can't sustain the pressure where it's placed She caves The Bible's blind, the Torah's deaf, the Qu'ran's mute If you burn them all together, you get close to the truth still They are pouring over Sanskrit on the ivy league moons While shadows lengthen in the sun Cast on a school of meditation built to soften the times And hold us at the center while the spiral unwinds It's knocking over fences, crossing property lines Four winds, cry until it comes And it's the sum of man Slouching towards Bethlehem A heart just can't contain all of that empty space It breaks, it breaks, it breaks Well, I went back to my rented Cadillac and company jet Like a newly orphaned refugee, retracing my steps All the way to Cassadaga to commune with the dead They said, 'You'd better look alive.' And I was off to old Dakota where a genocide sleeps In the black hills, the bad lands, the calloused east I buried my ballast, I made my peace Heard four winds leveling the pines But when great Satan's gone, the whore of Babylon She just can't remain with all that outer space She breaks, she breaks, she caves, she caves mika_'s rating:
16 8.3 Bright Eyes - From a Balance Beam
There is a man holding a megaphone So he must have been the voice of God The bystanders claimed they saw angels Flying up and down the block Well, they must have been attached to wires I saw one laying in the lawn with a broken arm So I called 911 So that's one less founded opinion One more cause for a dispute So the street filled like a basin Up with cameras and their crews And they washed away the rumors Leaving just the concrete truth It was a spectacle No, I, I mean a miracle So then I fell like that girl from a balance beam A gymnasium of eyes were all holding on to me I lifted one foot to cross the other and I felt myself slipping It was a small mistake Sometimes that's all it takes Now I'm staring at my wrist Hoping that the timing is right When the planets will align There will be no planets to align Just the carcass of the sun And those little painted marbles Spinning senseless through an endless black sky (And so it never started and it will never stop just like I am and you are) It was in a foreign hotel's bathtub I baptized myself in change And one by one I drowned all of the people I had been I emerged to find the parallels were fewer I was cleansed I looked in the mirror and someone new was there Still I was as helpless as a chess piece When I was lifted up by someone's hand And delivered from the corner My enemies had got me in But in all of my salvation I still felt imprisoned inside That holding cell that is myself So I wait for the day when I'll hear the key As it turns in the lock and the guard will say to me "Oh, my patient prisoner, you have waited for this day and finally You are free! You are free! You are freezing" Now I'm staring at the sun waiting for it to explode Because a day is gonna come Don't know when but it will come And then we will finally know the way out of here And I will throw away this wrinkled map And my chart of stars and compass, cracked And I'll climb that tree all wet with sap To avoid the hungry beasts below I'll cut out my lover's tongue and sing Of a graveyard gray and a garden green And then we won't have worry no more No, we won't ever worry again About how this song or story ends About how this song and story will end mika_'s rating:
