Stay Down
Wasn't a fighter until somebody told me
I had better learn to lean into the punch...
I'm just steering my life in a video game
Similar acts and a different name
It's a slow down
So would you teach me I'm the villain, aren't I?
Aren't I the one constantly repenting for a difficult mind?
02
The Buggles
Video Killed the Radio Star
And now we meet in an abandoned studio
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago
And you remember the jingles used to go
Oh, oh, you were the first one
Oh, oh, you were the last one
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
In my mind and in my car
We can't rewind, we've gone too far
03
Dessa
Palace
That trouble you've been looking for, it came looking for
You shouldn't open doors you don't plan to walk through
If I were you I'd pay my dues
You've got a lot of long answers to a lot of short questions
You've had a lot of last chances, a run of lucky guesses
Say your nerves can stand it, you bet it all and then step back
But if you're steady-handed then that glass is shaking bad

Katie Melua
Nine Million Bicycles
We are twelve billion light years from the edge
That's a guess, no one can ever say it's true
But I know that I will always be with you
We're high on the wire with the world in our sight
And I'll never tire of the love that you give me every night...
And there are nine million bicycles in Beijing
And you know that I will love you till I die

KT Tunstall
Suddenly I See
Her face is a map of the world, is a map of the world
You can see she's a beautiful girl, she's a beautiful girl
And everything around her is a silver pool of light
The people who surround her feel the benefit of it, it makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm...
She fills up every corner like she's born in black and white
Makes you feel warmer when you're trying to remember what you heard
She likes to leave you hanging on her word
Suddenly I see this is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see why the hell it means so much to me

I Bet on Losing Dogs
I know they're losing and I pay for my place by the ring
Where I'll be looking in their eyes when they're down
I'll be there on their side
I'm losing by their side
Will you let me, baby, lose on losing dogs?
I know they're losing and I pay for my place by the ring
Where I'll be looking in their eyes when they're down
I wanna feel it
I bet on losing dogs
I always want you when I'm finally fine
07
Oingo Boingo
Weird Science
Plastic tubes and pots and pans
Bits and pieces and the magic from my hand will make weird science
Things I've never seen before
Behind bolted doors, talent and imagination, weird science...
Magic and technology
Voodoo dolls and chants, electricity, we're making weird science
Fantasy and microchips...
From my heart and from my hand, why don't people understand my intentions?
08
Scissor Sisters
I Don't Feel Like Dancin'
Cities come and cities go just like the old empires
When all you do is change your clothes and call that versatile...
So I just pretend that I know which way to bend
And I'm gonna tell the whole world that you're mine
Just please understand when I see you clap your hands
If you stick around I'm sure that I'll be fine
But I don't feel like dancin' when the old Joanna plays
My heart could take a chance but my two feet can't find a way
You'd think that I could muster up a little soft-shoe gentle sway
But I don't feel like dancin', no sir, no dancin' today
09
Sleeping At Last
Six
My mind was heavy, running ragged with worst-case scenarios,
Emergency exits and the distance below.
I woke up so worried that the angels let go...
I want to believeβno, I choose to believe
That I was made to become a sanctuary.
Fear won't go away but I can keep it at bay
And these invisible walls just might keep us safe.
With vigilant heart, I'll push into the dark
And I'll learn to breathe deep and make peace with the stars.
Is it courage or faith to show up every day?

Rebuild
We will rebuild everything we've lost
We will rebuild everything we've lost
We will rebuild everything we've lost
We will tell ourself...
Will we be able to heal what we're breaking?
Can we return all the living we've taken?
Will we be able to heal what we're breaking?
We will rebuild everything we've lost
We will tell ourselves (Everything we've lost)
