Each man 
has a way to betray 
the revolution 
This is mine 

- 'Poem 111' by Leonard Cohen

1. laura veirs, "fire snakes"
Good things do happen.

hot ash and hot rocks
they’ll crash and they’ll mosh
'til the trees are all flat
and we all collapse from the chase
then i’ll dress up your wounds
wash off the salt
freshen the blooms
at your mud-crusted altar


2. the veils, "larkspur"
I'm the one who gripped you tight and raised you from perdition.

something got a hold on me 
know that something got a hold of me
feel that something got a hold on me
and the sky lit up


3. nick cave & the bad seeds, "red right hand"
You should show me some respect. I dragged you out of Hell. I can throw you back in.

you'll see him in your nightmares
you'll see him in your dreams
he'll appear out of nowhere but
he ain't what he seems
you're one microscopic cog
in his catastrophic plan
designed and directed by
his red right hand


4. a perfect circle, "a stranger"
Can I tell you something if you promise not to tell another soul?

cast the calming apple
up and over satellites
to draw out the timid wild one
to convince you it's all right
you're a stranger
so what do i care?
you vanish today
not the first time i hear all the lies
what am i to do with all this silence?


5. duncan sheik, "orpheus"
I was getting too close to the humans in my charge. 

still the voices have stories to tell
of the power struggles in heaven and hell
but we feel secure against such mighty dreams 
as orpheus sings of the promise tomorrow may bring
tell me, i've still a lot to learn 
understand these fires never start
please believe me
when this joke is tired of laughing i will hear
the promise of my orpheus sing 


6. paris combo, "trois petits points"
Just so you understand... why I can't help.

cela fait des ans, des ans
que mon ange passe
devant mon lit défait, en fait
qu'il défait quand il passe
pour me montrer
que dans ce monde très
que dans ce monde quelqu'un me tient
sans arrêt, sans fin

(these are the years that my angel passes
before my unmade bed, in fact
it becomes unmade when he comes to show me
that in this world, someone holds me
unstoppably, without end)


7. lhasa de sala, "anywhere on this road"
If there's anything worth dying for, this is it.

there will be an end
to the longing and yearning
if i can stand up
to angels and men
i'll never get swallowed
in darkness again


8. sade, "soldier of love"
We're making it up as we go.

i'm at the borderline of my faith 
i'm at the hinterland of my devotion 
i'm in the front line of this battle of mine 
but i'm still alive 


9. iron & wine, "pagan angel & a borrowed car"
Don't ever change.

i was still a beggar shaking out my stolen coat
among the angry cemetery leaves
when they caught the king beneath the borrowed car
righteous, drunk, and fumbling for the royal keys
love was a father's flag and sung like a shank
in a cake on our leather boots


10. 65daysofstatic, "drove through ghosts to get here"
I gave everything for you, and this is what you give to me?

[instrumental]


11. fink, "this is the thing"
But watching him, I stopped. Everything he sacrificed, and I was about to ask him for more.

the things that keep us apart
keep me alive
and the things that keep me alive
keep me alone


12. midnight masses, "preacher's son/desperate man"
Certain regrettable things are now required of me.

it was day and it was night
i took a walk with the angel of light
he said hold on, do you know whose side i’m on?


13. elliott smith, "between the bars"
Much of the time, I'd rather be here

drink up with me now
and forget all about the pressure of days
do what i say and i'll make you okay
and drive them away
the images stuck in your head
the people you've been before
that you don't want around anymore
that push and shove and won't bend to your will
i'll keep them still


14. ...and you will know us by the trail of dead, "it was there that I saw you"
And the worst part was Dean, trying so hard to be loyal with every instinct telling him otherwise.

as time went on
i wondered what was wrong
i wondered what became of you


15. imogen heap, "2-1"
The one in the dirty trenchcoat who's in love with you?

i'm dying to know what's in your head
i'm dying to know how it all got in there
i'm dying to know, to help make some sense of it all
i'm dying to know, tell me
is it my fault?


16. foo fighters, "stranger things have happened"
Where were you when I needed to hear it?

you are not alone, dear loneliness
you forgot but i remember this
stranger things have happened, i know
i'm not alone, dear loneliness
i forgot that i remember this
stranger things have happened, i know


17. aereogramme, "living backwards"
Does it make you feel better?

i'll not be afraid
it's taken this long to come back again
and yes, i might suffer the fate of another
of shit and the bones and all things considered
i walked with my hands held out
to you and all that's good
and i'm sure
we shouldn't be wasting away


18. manu chao, "la vie à deux"
I'm going to find some way to redeem myself to you.

j'espère ne plus jamais faire souffrir quelqu'un
comme je t'ai fait souffrir
moi qui aimais tellement ton sourire
je n'entends plus que tes soupirs
il est minuit à tokyo
il est cinq heures au mali
quelle heure est-il au paradis?

(i hope i no longer make anyone suffer
the way i made you suffer
i who so loved your smile
i no longer hear anything but your sighs
it's midnight in tokyo
it's five o'clock in mali
what time is it in paradise?)
