Until She Comes - The Psychedelic Furs (1991)

until she comes again
and i can hear the things she said
i feel no thoughts to move my head
until she comes again

and with her step
i move my feet
and with her hands
i feel my skin
and with her need
i find i'm saved
and with her dreams
i'm laid

until she comes again
the sun goes out and night comes in
the time goes round and day grows dim
until she comes again

and with her step
i move my feet
and with her hands
i feel my skin
and with her need
i find i'm saved
and with her dreams
i'm laid

i can't be saved from my ways
until she comes
can't be saved from my ways
until she comes

until she comes again
with all my saving and my sins
there's no good reason to begin
until she comes again

and with her step
i move my feet
and with her hands
i feel my skin
and with her need
i find i'm saved
and with her dreams
i'm laid

i can't be saved from my ways
until she comes
can't be saved from my ways
until she comes

until she comes again
with all her dreams tied in her hand
there is no way to understand
until she comes again
until she comes again
the sun goes out and night comes in
the time goes round and day grows dim
until she comes again

The Scarlet Thing In You - Peter Murphy (1995)

from the world to the dreaming fields of light
yeah from the soaking mud
gonna fly up to the sky
to the scarlet thing in you

on the red wings i will sail at night
to the scarlet thing in you
on a long lost ocean wave of light
submerged and unafraid

i saw you
you were one
i saw you
you were one i saw you
you were one i saw you
you were one

no way back to recall the way
cause i threw out all the why's
spinning with the spider in the cave
found the scarlet thing in you

where the birds can't reach no words can teach spinning in the cave for the scarlet thing in you

i saw you, you saw me

i saw you
you were one
i saw you
you were one i saw you
you were one i saw you
you were one

everything's alright
everything's alright
everything's alright
everything's alright

spinning in the cave for the scarlet thing in you
spinning in the cave for the scarlet thing in you
spinning in the cave for the scarlet thing in you
spinning in the cave for the scarlet thing in you

6 Underground - Sneaker Pimps (1996)

take me down
6 underground
the ground beneath your feet

laid out low
nothing to go
nowhere a way to meet

i've got a head full of drought
down here
so far off of losing out
round here
overground, watch this space
i'm open to falling from grace

calm me down
bring it round
too way high off your street

i can see
like nothing else
in me, you're better than i wannabe

don't think 'cos i understand
i care
don't think 'cos i'm talking
we're friends
overground, watch this space
i'm open to falling from grace

talk me down
safe and sound
too strung up to sleep

wear me out
scream and shout
swear my time's never cheap

i fake my life like i've lived
too much
i take whatever you're given, not enough
overground, watch this
space, i'm open

i fake my life like i've lived
too much
i take whatever you're given, not enough
overground, watch this
space, i'm open
to falling
from grace

My Sister - The Juliana Hatfield Three (1993)

my sister
my sister
my sister

i hate my sister, she's such a bitch
she acts as if she doesn't even know that i exist
but i would do anything to let her know i care
but i am only talking to myself 'cause she isn't there

my sister

i love my sister, she's the best
she's cooler than any other girl that i have ever met
she had the greatest band, she had the greatest guy
she's good at everything and doesn't even try

she's got a wall around her nobody can climb
she lets her ladder down for those who really shine
i tried to scale it, but to me she's blind
so i lit a firecracker, went off in my eye

i miss my sister, why'd she go?
she's the one who would have taken me
to my first all-ages show
it was the violent femmes and the del fuegos
before they had a record out
before they went gold
and started to grow

i miss my sister
i miss my sister
i miss my sister
i really miss her

Sleeping Satellite - Tasmin Archer (1992)

i blame you for the moonlit sky
and the dream that died
with the eagles' flights
i blame you for the moonlit nights
when i wonder why
are the seas still dry
don't blame this sleeping satellite

did we fly to the moon too soon?
did we squander the chance?
in the rush of the race
the reason we chase is lost in romance
and still we try
to justify the waste
for a taste of man's greatest adventure, whoa

i blame you for the moonlit sky
and the dream that died
with the eagles' flights
i blame you for the moonlit nights
when i wonder why
are the seas still dry
don't blame this sleeping satellite

have we lost what it takes to advance?
have we peaked too soon?
if the world is so green
then why does it scream under a blue moon?
we wonder why
if the earth's sacrificed
for the price of its greatest treasure, whoa

i blame you for the moonlit sky
and the dream that died
with the eagles' flights
i blame you for the moonlit nights
when i wonder why
are the seas still dry
don't blame this sleeping satellite

and when we shoot for the stars
what a giant step
have we got what it takes
to carry the weight of this concept?
or pass it by
like a shot in the dark
miss the mark with a sense of adventure, whoa

whoa yeah yeah
whoa yeah yeah

don't blame this sleeping satellite

i blame you for the moonlit sky
and the dream that died
with the eagles' flights
i blame you for the moonlit nights
when i wonder why
are the seas still dry
don't blame this sleeping satellite

whoa yeah yeah
whoa yeah yeah
don't blame this sleeping satellite

whoa yeah yeah
whoa yeah yeah
don't blame this sleeping satellite

Supernova - Liz Phair (1994)

i have looked all over the place
but you have got my favorite face
your eyelashes sparkle like gilded grass
and your lips are sweet and slippery
like a cherub's bare wet ass

'cause you're a human supernova
a solar superman
you're an angel with wings of fire
a flying, giant friction blast

you walk in clouds of glitter
and the sun reflects your eyes
and every time the wind blows
i can smell you in the sky

your kisses are as wicked as an M-16
and you fuck like a volcano
and you're everything to me

'cause you're a human supernova
a solar superman
you're an angel with wings of fire
a flying, giant friction blast
you're a giant, flying friction blast

'cause you're a human supernova
a solar superman (solar)
you're an angel with wings of fire (angel)
a flying, giant friction blast

Closing Time - Semisonic (1998)

closing time, open all the doors
and let you out into the world
closing time, turn all of the lights on
over every boy and every girl

closing time, one last call for alcohol
so, finish your whiskey or beer
closing time, you don't have to go home
but you can't stay here

i know who i want to take me home
i know who i want to take me home
i know who i want to take me home
take me home

closing time, time for you to go out
to the places you will be from
closing time, this room won't be open
till your brothers or your sisters come

so, gather up your jackets, move it to the exits
i hope you have found a friend
closing time, every new beginning
comes from some other beginning's end, yeah

i know who i want to take me home
i know who i want to take me home
i know who i want to take me home
take me home

closing time, time for you to go out
to the places you will be from

Everlong - Foo Fighters (1997)

hello
i've waited here for you

tonight, i throw myself into
and out of the red
out of her head, she sang

come down and waste away with me
down with me
slow, how you wanted it to be

out of her head, she sang

and i wonder

breathe out
so i can breathe you in
hold you in
and now
i know you've always been
out of your head
out of my head, i sang

and i wonder

if everything could ever feel this real forever
if anything could ever be this good again
the only thing i'll ever ask of you

Linger - The Cranberries (1993)

if you, if you could return
don't let it burn
don't let it fade
i'm sure i'm not being rude
but it's just your attitude
it's tearing me apart
it's ruining every day

i swore, i swore i would be true
and honey so did you
so why were you holding her hand?
is that the way we stand?
were you lying all the time?
was it just a game to you?

but i'm in so deep
you know i'm such a fool for you
you got me wrapped around your finger
do you have to let it linger?
do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger?

oh, i thought the world of you
i thought nothing could go wrong
but i was wrong, i was wrong
if you, if you could get by
trying not to lie
things wouldn't be so confused
and i wouldn't feel so used
but you always really knew
i just want to be with you

and i'm in so deep
you know i'm such a fool for you
you got me wrapped around your finger
do you have to let it linger?
do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger?

and i'm in so deep
you know i'm such a fool for you
you got me wrapped around your finger
do you have to let it linger?
do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger?
you know i'm such a fool for you
you got me wrapped around your finger
do you have to let it linger?
do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger?
