Elbow – Newborn
Guy Garveys voice is absolutely priceless.
Whisper what you feel.
The talent of Elbow is untrue.
This is my badly strung declaration to you.
The Smiths – Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me
And tell me how long before the right one?
It’s The Smiths. It’s morbid. And I don’t care.
This story is old. I know. But it goes on.
Morrissey is a legend and Marr is a genius.
Nothing else need be said.
Teen angst lasts longer than your teens…
But I guess adult angst doesn’t sound right?
The Spill Canvas – Lullaby
It’s the way you blush when you’re nervous.
I adore The Spill Canvas, they haven’t ever done a bad song.
It’s about how you laugh out of pity. Because lets be honest, I’m not really that funny.
I like everything they stand for and what they sing about.
Because aren’t we all just looking for love?
Sometimes we find it,
Sometimes we don’t,
Sometimes it hurts,
And sometimes it just works.
Jeff Buckley – Everybody Here Wants You
Because his only song wasn’t Hallefuckinglujah.
I know everybody here thinks he needs you.
This should be an R n B song, I actually can’t believe it’s not been covered already.
The sea of fools has parted for us, there’s nothing in our way my love.
The Rifles – When I’m Alone
Friends that just want to kiss?
Friends that are in love?
Because I smile when you’re there.
But I cry when I’m all alone.
It’s far too hard to say to you don’t go.
Team Hate Nelson – Mrs. Beautiful
The only song I have and can find by this band.
I can die happy, as long as I die staring at your face.
And I love it. love it. love it.
They tell me is it dangerous living life for a fling.
I tell them is it jealously because they haven’t felt what I’m feeling.
I like the way there’s actually so much emotion in his voice.
The way he adores her but doesn’t think he’s enough for her.
When really he’s all she needs.
Joy Division – Love Will Tear Us Apart
Because I truly believe it’s possible to love someone so much that the love will just self destruct.
And why not?
Love is a powerful unpredictable thing.
Why is it something so good just can’t function no more?
Love will tear us apart…again.
Morrissey – Let Me Kiss You
Because Morrissey’s even good without Marr.
Would you let me cry on your shoulder? I’ve heard that you’ll try anything twice.
But it’s still not The Smiths.
But who cares?
Let Me Kiss You.
October Fall – It Was Summer (Baby Steps)
October Fall should never have broke up.
I say we forget what we know, keep taking baby steps.
This is a feel good song that’s about friends and summer.
In summer heat we lose our clothes, it won’t hurt what they don’t know.
And about falling in love and taking it slow.
If I can’t have you, I’ll dream about you.
Baby steps are better than walking backwards.
AFI – The Killing Lights
5am on the bathroom floor from the night before do you find me dreadful?
To me the idea of killing lights is drugs.
And killing time is an act of accidental self destruction.
Such a pretty face often will look dreadful.
Which is unfortunately something I can relate too.
But lucky for me I didn’t self destruct.
New Order – Regret
I would I like a place I could call my own.
Have a conservation on the telephone.
Wake up everyday that would be a start.
I would not complain about my wounded heart.
I was upset you see, almost all the time.
You used to be a stranger, now you are mine.
How I imagine I’d feel travelling and living next to a beautiful beach.
Lady Gaga – Bad Romance
This song makes me feel sexy, it doesn’t matter how many times I hear it.
It has pure sex appeal.
I want your love, love, love, love, I want your love.
And I think Lady Gaga is amazing.
You know that I want you
And you know that I need you.
Because I’m a free bitch baby.
The XX – Crystallised
I really love this band.
They are so chilled out yet so emotional.
I love the male/female vocals.
It works so well.
Don’t think that I’m pushing you away.
When you’re the one I’ve kept closest.
The Cribs – Cheat On Me
I could be someone else if you’d rather?
Try to win you over like a new stepfather.
Picture the scene so you don’t have to spell it out for me.
Because things go together better than others.
Manic depression and hyper sexuality.
Stereophonics – Getaway
Because actually I really want to just get away from everything.
I don’t care that it means I’m running away.
Maybe I want to runaway.
Fly in my getaway, gotta get away.
The Buzzcocks – Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn’t’ve)
Ever fallen in love with someone, ever fallen in love, in love with someone, ever fallen in love, in love with someone you shouldn’t’ve fallen in love with?
Yes, The Buzzcocks hailed from Leigh.
Rock and Roll.
Oasis – Songbird
Gonna write a song so she can see, give her all the love she gives to me
Talk of better days that have yet to come, never felt this love from anyone, she’s not anyone.
I had the good fortune of seeing Oasis live before they split, in the Summer of 2009.
This song can always reduce me to tears.
Only because it’s so beautiful.
Fall Out Boy – Fame <>
When I’m home alone I just dance by myself.
And you pull my hips so close volume goes with the truth.
Signing off, I’m alright in bed but I’m better with a pen.
You can never doubt the Wentz.
I’m addicted to the way I feel when I think of you.
There’s too much green to feel blue.
Band Of Skulls – Friends
Maybe I’ve been living for the weekend?
Because this song is clearly about an amazing Friday night in the Lux.
Every Friday just about midnight all my problems seem to disappear.
And making out on Friday nights.
My Chemical Romance – Vampires Will Never Hurt You
Another ‘I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love’ classic.
Vampires and love.
All the rage.
And as always innocent
Like a roller coaster fatality
Like ghosts in the snow.
