• life's a journey, not a destination. // aerosmith, amazing
• get up and go must'a got up and went. // aerosmith, sweet emotion
• I don't know what I'm doing, don't know shit. I changed my mind, I can't decide - there's too many variations to consider. No thing I do don't do no thing but bring me more to do. It's true, I do imbue my blue unto myself; I make it bitter. // fiona apple, on the bound
• now that we're here, we may as well go too far. // arctic monkeys, this house is a circus

• all those times we slept together, there was something that wasn't there. you never wanted to alarm me, but I'm the one that's drowning now. // bloc party, signs

• you just have to say it so you don't feel so weak about being such a freak. // franz ferdinand, outsiders

G

• but now you're in love, you know. you know, me too. I hope sex and drugs rust into myself, holy; it feels holy. // gorillaz, o green world

H

• consummate keepers of many left wondering; desolate dreamers with heads caught up in the sway. obstinate heeders of organized ignorance making up rules for the mute and the will-less. but all the kids that are raised in the freefall, from the silence of a pacified strip mall, they pay the wage with the dollars of gravity. // the helio sequence, can't say no
• crap is king. // don henley, dirty laundry
• she just looked at me uncomprehendingly, like cows at a passing train. // don henley, if dirt were dollars

• may our bodies remain. // interpol, public pervert
• I am a scavenger between the sheets of union; lately I can't tell for sure whether machines turn anyone. // interpol, take you on a cruise

L

• I saw a lion, he was standing alone with a tadpole in a jar. // led zeppelin, dancing days

M

• buy this car to drive to work, drive to work to pay for this car. // metric, handshakes
• your body's dead -- you're a word instead. // metric, live it out
• need is always pending on how much you can get. // metric, the people
• and now I run like a river to the setting sun, run like a river that has never been won, run like a river that will always be free. // steve miller band, wide river
• I just got a message that said, "yeah, Hell has frozen over." I got a phone call from the Lord, saying, "hey boy, get a sweater right now." // modest mouse, tiny cities made of ashes
• we still did what we should've thought through. // modest mouse, we've got everything

N

• he was lookin' at her all funny in the eye. // kate nash, birds
• I don't know how more people haven't got mental health problems. thinking is one of the most stressful things I've ever come across, and not being able to articulate what I want to say drives me crazy. don't think. just try and sleep. // kate nash, don't you want to share the guilt
• we're the heirs to the glimmering world. // the national, the geese of beverly road
• make up something to believe in your heart of hearts so you have something to wear on your sleeve of sleeves. // the national, mistaken for strangers
• you get mistaken for strangers by your own friends when you pass them at night under the silvery, silvery city bank lights, arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes glazing under. oh, you wouldn't want an angel watching over. surprise, surprise, they wouldn't wanna watch another uninnocent elegant fall into the unmagnificent lives of adults. // the national, mistaken for strangers

• all the while my fortune faded. // red hot chili peppers, fortune faded
• now I lay me down to sleep; I pray the funk will make me freaky. // red hot chili peppers
• days turn to nights, turn to weeks, turn paper into rocks, into plastic. my material heart, how it keeps us apart. watching days turn to nights, turn to weeks, turn everything I got into techniques. my mechanical heart, how it tears me apart. // röyksopp f. lykke li, miss it so much
