"Supernova"
Written By
Performed By Liz Phair
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 F-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,
You're an angel with wings of fire,
A flying, giant friction blast ...

"No Tears Tonight"
Written By
Performed By Murry Attaway
There'll be no tears tonight
Slowly the shadows fall away in time
Now I know no future dreams
The things I have today are fine
And as I stumble through I find that I can choose
And lose the things I'm not afraid to lose
Hold your hour
Live today and let the past go free they said
Try again and I will do the best I can today instead
And as I stumble through
I find that I can choose
And lose the things I'm not afraid to lose
We move in circles as we go
With nothing to guide us but our souls
And we keep on looking for something that we must have
lost two thousand years ago
There'll be no tears tonight
Slowly the shadows fall away in time
Now I know no future dreams
The things I have today are fine
And as I stumble through
I find that I can choose
And lose the things I'm not afraid to lose
We move in circles as we go
With nothing to guide us but our souls
And we keep on looking for something that we must have
lost two thousand years ago

"Lump"
Written By
Performed By The Presidents of the United States of America
Lump sat alone in a boggy marsh,
totally emotionless except for her heart
Mud flowed up into lump's pajamas
she totally confused all the passing pihranas
She's lump, she's lump
She's in my head
She's lump, she's lump, she's lump
She might be dead
Lump lingered last in line for brains
and the one she got was sorta rotten and insane
Small things so sad that birds could land
Is lump fast asleep or rockin' out with the band?
She's lump, she's lump
She's in my head
She's lump, she's lump, she's lump
She might be dead
Lump was limp and lonely and needed a shove
Lump slipped on a kiss and tumbled into love
She spent her twenties between the sheets
Life limped along at sub-sonic speeds
She's lump, she's lump
She's in my head
She's lump, she's lump, she's lump
She might be dead
Is this lump outta my head?
I think so
Is this lump outta my head?
I think so
Is this lump outta my head?
I think so
Is this lump outta my head?

"Seether"
Written By
Performed By Veruca Salt
Seether is neither loose nor tight.
Seether is neither black nor white.
I try to keep her on a short leash.
I try to calm her down.
I try to ram her into the ground, yeah.
Can't fight the seether [x3]
I can't see her till I'm foaming at the mouth.
Seether is neither big nor small.
Seether is the center of it all.
I try to rock her in my cradle.
I try to knock her out.
I try to cram her back in my mouth, yeah.
Can't fight the seether.[x3]
I can't see her till I'm foaming at the mouth.
Keep her down, boiling water.
Keep her down, what a lovely daughter.
Oh she is not born like other girls,
but I know how to conceive her.
Oh she may not look like other girls,
but she's a snarl tooth seether. Seether!
Can't fight the seether.[x3]
I can't see her till I'm foaming at the mouth. Yeah

"Shrine"
Written By
Performed By The Dambuilders
she doesn't speak much english
but she tells me all her favorite bands
there's not too much to talk about
wonder if she understands
i know she likes L7
and i think that she likes me
when she rolls her stockings past the knee
we're talking rock and roll...
and now it seems like yesterday
i met her in a smoky club
if you get drunk and fall behind
you know that I will put you up
and if I learned the language
she could tell me all her dreams
i know exactly what she means
and I could fall so easily
because her hair is colored red
I asked her if she'll dye mine too
she tells me it's already dead
and I knew that if I stayed with her
i'd lose track of all time
till I light a candle to the shrine
call it rock and roll...

"Tomorrow"
Written By Simon Nelson, Matthew Netson, Nian Brindle, James Fraser
Performed By James
I see you falling
How long to go till you hit the ground
You keep on screaming
Don't you see me here.. am I a ghost to you?
Now your grips too strong
Catch love with a net or a gun
Gotta keep faith that your path will change
Gotta keep faith that your luck will change tomorrow
Tomorrow
Why are you phoning
What am I to do when you are miles away
You're always calling from the darkest moons
And we're both scared
Now your grips too strong
Catch love with a net or a gun
Gotta keep faith that your path will change
Gotta keep faith that your love will change
Now your grips too strong
Catch love with a net or a gun
Gotta keep faith that your path will change
Gotta keep faith that your love will change tomorrow
I'm just out of your range
Tomorrow
All your suffering's in vain
Tomorrow
Lalala
Now your grips too strong
Catch love with a net or a gun
Gotta keep faith that your path will change
Gotta keep faith that your love will change tomorrow
I got out of your range
Tomorrow
All your suffering seems vain
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Some forgiveness now
Tomorrow
Love's no sacred chao

"Try Again"
Written By
Performed By Sugar
When the clouds of doubt surround you
And there's no relief in sight
When nothing you do holds a meaning
But you can't give up the fight
You think of the good things that might be in store
You try and you try 'til you just can't try any more
There's one thing for certain, that nothing is certain
You try and you try and you try, can you try anymore?
You try again
Somewhere in the back of my mind
I know this indecision well
And you might think that I seem beaten
But I got up each time I fell
I'm not going to lay here expecting the worst
You try and you try 'til you just can't try any more
I'm not giving up, there is hope in here somewhere
I try and I try and I try and I try anymore
You try again
It would be so easy to stop hesitating
It could be so wonderful from now on
And if I put my mind to finding enjoyment
I could break the spell, the worries are gone
I wish being happy was something so simple
If all of the doubts that I had every day went away
Then maybe I'd get to that point in my life
If I try and I try and I try, maybe I
You try again

"It's No Good"
Written By
Performed By Depeche Mode
I'm going to take my time
I have all the time in the world
To make you mine
It is written in the stars above
The gods decree
You'll be right here by my side
Right next to me
You can run, but you cannot hide
Don't say you want me
Don't say you need me
Don't say you love me
It's understood
Don't say you're happy
Out there without me
I know you can't be
'cause it's no good
I'll be fine
I'll be waiting patiently
Till you see the signs
And come running to my open arms
When will you realise
Do we have to wait till our worlds collide
Open up your eyes
You can't turn back the tide
Don't say you want me
Don't say you need me
Don't say you love me
It's understood
Don't say you're happy
Out there without me
I know you can't be
'cause it's no good
I'm going to take my time
I have all the time in the world
To make you mine
It is written in the stars above
Don't say you want me
Don't say you need me
Don't say you love me
It's understood
Don't say you're happy
Out there without me
I know you can't be
'cause it's no good

"If You Could Only See"
Written By
Performed By Tonic
If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me
Well, you got your reasons
And you got your lies
And you got your manipulations
They cut me down to size
Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't
If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me
Seems the road less traveled
Shows happiness unraveled
And you got to take a little dirt
To keep what you love...
That's what you gotta do
Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't
You're stretching out your arms for something that's just not there
Sayin' you love where you stand
You give your heart when you can
If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me
Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't
... (Sayin' it anyway)
Sayin' you love where you stand
You give your heart when you can
If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me

"Laid"
Written By
Performed By James
This bed is on fire
With passionate love
The neighbors complain about the noises above
But she only comes when she's on top
My therapist said not to see you no more
She said you're like a disease without any cure
She said I'm so obsessed that I'm becoming a bore, oh no
Ah, you think you're so pretty
Caught your hand inside a till
Slammed your fingers in the door
Fought with kitchen knives and skewers
Dressed me up in women's clothes
Messed around with gender roles
Dye my eyes and call me pretty
Moved out of the house, so you moved next door
I locked you out, you cut a hole in the wall
I found you sleeping next to me, I thought I was alone
You're driving me crazy, when are you coming home
Pretty
Pretty

"Barrel Of A Gun"
Written By
Performed By Depeche Mode
Do you mean this horny creep
Set upon weary feet
Who looks in need of sleep
That doesn't come
This twisted, tortured mess
This bed of sinfulness
Who's longing for some rest
And feeling numb
What do you expect of me
What is it you want
Whatever you've planned for me
I'm not the one
A vicious appetite
Visits me each night
And won't be satisfied
Won't be denied
An unbearable pain
A beating in my brain
That leaves the mark of Cain
Right here inside
What am I supposed to do
When everything that I've done
Is leading me to conclude
I'm not the one
Whatever I've done
I've been staring down the barrel of a gun
Is there something you need from me
Are you having your fun
I never agreed to be
Your holy one
Whatever I've done
I've been staring down the barrel of a gun

"Love Vigilantes"
Written by
Performed by New Order
Oh I've just come
From the land of the sun
From a war that must be won
In the name of truth
With our soldiers so brave
Your freedom we will save
With our rifles and grenades
And some help from god
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
I've got to go home
I've been so alone, you see
You just can't believe
The joy I did recieve
When I finally got my leave
And I was going home
Oh I flew through the sky
My convictions could not lie
For my country I would die
And I will see it soon
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
I've got to go home
I've been so alone, you see
When I walked through the door
My wife she lay upon the floor
And with tears her eyes were sore
I did not know why
Then I looked into her hand
And I saw the telegram
That said that I was a brave, brave man
But that I was dead
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
I've got to go home
I've been so alone, you see

No way home
Bring on the dancing horses
Headless and all alone
Shiver and say the words
Of every lie you've heard
First I'm gonna make it
Then I'm gonna break it
Till it falls apart
Hating all the faking
And shaking while I'm breaking
Your brittle heart

All alone
Sinking sand
Skin and bone
Bring on the dancing horses
Wherever they may roam
Shiver and say the words
Of every lie you've heard
First I'm gonna make it
Then I'm gonna break it
Till it falls apart
Hating all the faking
And shaking while I'm breaking
Your brittle heart
Brittle heart
Brittle heart
Brittle heart
And my little heart
Goes

Wherever he may roam
Bring on the new messiah
Wherever he may roam
Bring on the new messiah
Wherever he may roam

"A Girl Like You"
Written By
Performed By Edwyn Collins
I've never known a girl like you before
Now just like in a song from days of yore
Here you come a knockin knockin on my door
And I've never met a girl like you before
You give me just a taste so I want more
And my hands are bleeding and my knees are raw
Cos now you got me crawlin crawlin on the floor
And I've never known a girl like you before
You've made me acknowledge the devil in me
I hope to god I'm talkin metaphorically
Hope that I'm talking allegorically
Know that I'm talkin bout the way I feel
And I've never known a girl like you before
Never, never, never, never
Never met a girl like you before
This old town's changed so much
Don't feel like I belong
To many protest singers
Not enough protest songs
And now you've come along
Yes you've come along
It's all right, yeah it's all right, yeah it's all right

"Whip-Smart"
Written By
Performed By Liz Phair
I'm gonna tell my son to grow up pretty as the grass is green and
Whip-smart as the English Channel's wide.
And I'm gonna tell my son to keep his money in his mattress
And his watch on any hand between his thighs.
And I'm gonna lock my son up in a tower 'til I write my whole life story
On the back of his big brown eyes.
When they do the double dutch, that's them dancing. [x4]
And I'm gonna tell my son to join a circus so that death is cheap and
Games are just another way of life.
And I'm gonna tell my son to be a prophet of mistakes because for
Every truth, there are half a million lies.
And I'm gonna lock my son up in a tower
'Til he learns to let his hair down far enough to climb outside.
When they do the double dutch, that's them dancing.

"If I Can't Change Your Mind"
Written By Bob Mould
Performed By Sugar
Tears fill up my eyes
I'm washed away with sorrow
And somewhere in my mind
I know there's no tomorrow
I see you're leaving soon
I guess you've had your fill
But if I can't change your mind
Then no one will
And all throughout the years
I've never strayed from you my dear
But you suspect I'm somewhere else
You're feeling sorry for yourself
Leaving with a broken heart
I love you even still
But if I can't change your mind
Then no one will
Even though my heart keeps breaking
Don't you know that I'll be waiting
Here for you
Then when you return
When will you return
I hope you see I'm dedicated
Look how long that I have waited
If you come back then you will find
A different person
If you change your mind
How can I explain away
Something that I haven't done
And if you can't trust me now
You'll never trust in anyone
With all the crazy doubts you've got
I love you even still
But if I can't change your mind
Then no one will
Someday you'll see I've been true
I'll stay that way until
But if I can't change your mind
Then no one will

"Chopsticks"
Written By
Performed By Liz Phair
I met him at a party and he
Told me how to drive him home.
He said he liked to do it backwards.
I said that's just fine with me.
That way we can fuck and watch TV.
It was four a.m. and the light was gray
Like it always is in paperbacks.
He asked if I liked playing jacks.
I told him that I was good to sixes,
But all hell broke loose after that.
I told him that I knew Julia Roberts
When I was twelve at summer camp.
We didn't say anything after that.
I dropped him off and I drove on home
'Cause secretly, I'm timid.
