Sleeping Where I Fall

by Thurston Moore

Sleeping where I fall
Creeping and I crawl
Peeping in your stall
Sleeping and I fall

I never know what to do
Everybody knows it's because of you
Every time I remember, I stop and pray
I never know what to say

Charmless Man

by Damon Albarn

I met him in a crowded room
Where people go to drink away their gloom
He sat me down, and so began
The story of a charmless man

Educated the expensive way
He knows his Claret from his Beaujolais
I think he'd like to have been Ronnie Kray
But then nature didn't make him that way

He thinks his educated airs
Those family shares
Will protect him
That we'll respect him
He moves in circles of friends
Who just pretend
That they like him
He does the same to them
And when you put it all together
There's the model of a charmless man

He knows the swingers and their cabaret
Says he can get in anywhere for free
I began to go a little cross-eyed
And from this charmless man I just had to hide

He talks at speed he gets nosebleeds
He doesn't see
His days are tumbling
Down upon him
And yet he tries so hard to please
He's just so keen
For you to listen
But no-one's listening
And when you put it all together
There's the model of a charmless man

Gold Soundz

by Stephen Malkmus

Go back to those gold soundz
And keep my anthem to yourself
Because it's nothing I don't like
Is it a crisis or a boring change?
When it's central, so essential
It has a nice ring when you laugh
At the lowlife opinions
And they're coming to the chorus now

I keep my address to yourself
'Cause we need secrets
We need secrets back right now

Because I never want to make you feel
That you're social, never ignored soul
Believe in what you want to do
And do you think that it's a major flaw
When they rise up in the falling rain?
And if you stay around with your knuckles ground down
The trial's over, the weapon's found

Keep my address to myself
Because it's secret
'Cause it's secret back right now

So drunk in the August sun
And you're the kind of girl I like
Because you're empty and I'm empty
And you can never quarantine the past
Did you remember in December
That I won't need you when I'm gone?
And if I go there, I won't stay there
Because I'm sitting here too long

I've been sitting here too long
And I've been wasted
Advocating that word for the last word
Last words come up, all you've got to waste

Coloured Rain

by Steve Winwood

Yesterday I was a young boy
Searching for my way
Not knowing what I wanted
Living life from day to day

'Til you came along
There was nothing but an empty space and a pain
Feels like coloured rain
Tastes like coloured rain
Bring on coloured rain

I can see a sail of changing
Filling with surprise
United with a feeling
Bringing love into my eyes
