Dark as Love
by Melissa Ritter (Luscious Redhead)

She (she) came down (came down)
Down down from heaven (from heaven)

Black (black) as night (as night)
She will hypnotize
Hyponotize (hypnotize hypnotize hypnotize hypnotize)

Hypnotize (hypnotize hypnotize hypnotize hypnotize)

Dark as love (dark as love)
Dark as love (dark as love)
A shadow (a shadow)
Shadow

Dark as love (dark as love)
Dark as love (dark as love)
A shadow (a shadow)
Shadow

Angels fall
Angels fall
The shadow (shadow)
Shadow (shadow)

She (she) came down (came down)
She (she) came down (came down)
She (she) came down (came down)
She (she) came down (came down)
She (she) came down (came down)
From heaven

Catch My Fall (aka In It For You)
by The Elliots

Some are made to follow and I
Was led by the love of your smile
I always realize
You are the one

You’re everything I need and adore
I don’t want anything more
So don’t be hesitant
I am the one

I’m not in it for me (I’m not in it for all)
I’m not in it for all (won’t you catch my fall)
But if you catch my fall (I’ll be in it for you)
I’ll be in it for you (won’t you catch my)
A pair is more than two (I’m not in it for all)
I’m not in it for all (won’t you catch my fall)
But if you catch my fall (I’ll be in it for you)
I’ll be in it for you (won’t you catch my)
A pair is more than two

I never get anything back
You treat me like a heart attack
I’m not your enemy
Or just a friend
I wanna have you all to myself
Like a prize on a winner’s shelf
So open up your door
Or I’m comin’ in

I’m not in it for me (I’m not in it for all)
I’m not in it for all (won’t you catch my fall)
But if you catch my fall (I’ll be in it for you)
I’ll be in it for you (won’t you catch my)
A pair is more than two (I’m not in it for all)
I’m not in it for all (won’t you catch my fall)
But if you catch my fall (I’ll be in it for you)
I’ll be in it for you (won’t you catch my)
A pair is more than two
A pair is more than two
A pair is more than two

A pair is more than two
(I’m not in it for all)
(Won’t you catch my fall)
(I’ll be in it for you)
(Won’t you catch my)

(Note: these lyrics aren't available anywhere I could find, so this is my best attempt.)

Shine
by Andy Stochansky

Get up, get up, get up, get up
Lift your head
C'mon, c'mon
Get up out of bed

******************************************
This is my favorite song of all the ML tunes because I truly believe this is Alex's song.

I'm SO not a morning person, so I use this song as my alarm clock sound.

Heavenly
by The Dandy Warhols

Heavenly scene of mind or could be hell
Oh baby I'm not, yeah
Everything I should be, yeah
Oh maybe I'm not, yeah
And everything I wanted to realize
Baby I got, yeah
Everything I could be, yeah
Oh, baby I'm not, yeah

(oh oh oh yeah) - repeats

Oh I've got, yeah
Heavenly scene
Oh I could be, yeah
Heavenly scene
Oh I got, yeah

Heavenly scene of mind or could be hell
Oh baby I'm not, yeah
Everything I should be, yeah
Oh maybe I'm not, yeah
And everything I wanted to realize
Baby I got, yeah

Oh I've got, yeah
Heavenly scene
Oh I could be, yeah
Heavenly scene
Oh I got, yeah

Oh I'm not, yeah
Heavenly scene
Oh I could be, yeah
Heavenly scene
Oh I'm not, yeah

My Little Box
By John Frizzell

Silent in my sanity
I live safe inside my cell
In the darkness that surrounds me
I see my own special hell
Comfort in my suffering
Feeling warm inside this pain
Four walls coming down on me
I come on down again

I let you win, you come on to me
And you're so f***ing brave
A chewed out lighted candle
Fell in my cool and empty cave
Somewhere in your world
They tell you this is what the people need
Doing all that s**t on me
And leave me here to bleed

Cradle falls
(I live safe inside my cell)
(In the darkness that surrounds me)
Unholy walls

Cradle falls, unholy walls
Cradle falls

Silent in my sanity
I live safe inside my cell
In the darkness that surrounds me
I see my own special hell
Comfort in my suffering
Feeling warm inside this pain
Four walls coming down on me
I come on down again

You woke me out of my secret grave
You let your pretty world in

Cradle falls
(I live silently inside my cell)
(You woke me out of my sin)
Unholy walls
(You woke me out of my secret grave)
(You let your pretty world in)

Fall...

Now you're in my world
Did you dream it’d be so small?
My little box was perfect,
Until you destroyed it all
My sanctity of sorrow gone
Forever in its place
The saccharine sweet of you
Is all that's left to taste

Feeling claustrophobic
Now my world is closing in
Subtle retribution
Where I am and where I've been
I'll take you to a place
You never knew could be
Curled up, in my little box

Cradle falls

I Love LA
by Randy Newman

Hate New York City
It's cold and it's damp
And all the people dress like monkeys
Let's leave Chicago to the Eskimos
That town's a little bit too rugged
For you and me you bad girl

Rollin' down Imperial Highway
With a big nasty redhead at my side
Santa Ana winds blowin' hot from the north
We was born to ride

Roll down the window put down the top
Crank up the Beach Boys baby
Don't let the music stop
We're gonna ride it till we just can't ride it no more

From the South Bay to the Valley
From the West Side to the East Side
Everybody very happy
'Cause the sun is shining all the time
Looks like another perfect day

I love LA (We love it!)
I love LA (We love it!)
We love it!

Look at that mountain
Look at those trees
Look at that bum over there, man
He's down on his knees
Look at these women
Ain't nothin' like 'em nowhere

Century Boulevard (We love it!)
Victory Boulevard (We love it!)
Santa Monica Boulevard (We love it!)
Sixth Street (We love it, we love it, we love it!)
We love LA!

I love LA
(We love it!)
I love LA
(We love it!)
I love LA
(We love it!)

White Flag
by Dido

I know you think that
I shouldn't still love you, I'll tell you that
But if I didn't say it, well, I'd still have felt it
Where's the sense in that?
I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were

But I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

I know I left too much mess
And destruction to come back again
And I caused nothing but trouble
I understand if you can't talk to me again
And if you live by the rules of 'It's over'
Then I'm sure that that makes sense

But I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

And when we meet which I'm sure we will
All that was then will be there still
I'll let it pass and hold my tongue
And you will think that I've moved on

I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

Shine
by Andy Stochansky

Get up, get up, get up, get up
Lift your head
C'mon, c'mon
Get up out of bed

******************************************
This is my favorite song of all the ML tunes because I truly believe this is Alex's song.

I'm SO not a morning person, so I use this song as my alarm clock sound.

Oh, that's brilliant! *HM runs off to figure out how to do this*

And just to bookend your comment, MI, Sleep by Meiko actually does make a good song to put one to sleep. I often put that on a loop when I go to bed... something about the orchestration and the repetition at the end just puts me in dreamland.

You Know How (aka Easy As You're Waiting)
by Los Halos

Long even as a whisper
Tears even as you’re listening
Lord I can hear you pounding
Calm even as we cry out

You know how it always is
You know how it seems to be
You know how it all works out
You know how it matters to me
To me

Fear even as you’re waiting
Caught even as you’re falling
Lord I can I hear you breathing
Strong even as I’m drowning

You know how it always is
You know how it seems to be
You know how it all works out
You know how it matters to me
To me
To me
To me

And I can’t stop thinking of this
As my words go round and round
And I can’t stop looking for a light
So bright it shakes and breaks the night in two

Peace even as you’re waiting
Love even as you cry out
Lord I can feel you calling
Gone even as you get it

You know how it always is
You know how it seems to be
You know how it all works out
You know how it matters to me
To me
To me
To me
To me

This is another one that doesn't seem to have lyrics anywhere, so this is my best guess. Thanks to Lilly for helping me figure out the first verse!

I know Who You Could Be
by Butcher Boy


I know who you could be, an innocent who will save me.
I know who you could be, another boy who will wake me.

Haphazard dentistry and stars will fill me up.
And it sounds funny when we kiss, like water drips.

I know who you could be, a Pagliacci to take me.
I know who you could be, a desperado to break me.

Could you be sure and safe from harm in my dead (?) arms?
Poor baby, don't be so strung out when I'm so proud.

And I'll prepare, I'll rip a page from every book you've ever read.
Don't blame me, I had a vision and a whole philosophy on how things ought to be.


---------------------------------------

I only found one version of the lyrics for this song. I verified them as best I could, although I'm not convinced about "dead" in the second to last verse. Also, "haphazard dentistry" is so bizarre, it sounds like one of the "misheard lyrics" things, but for the life of me, it sounds correct.

[allegrita]

Here's another one I would love help with... does anyone know what the woman's voice is saying? It sounds like Arabic. I've done a (bad) phonetic rendering of what it sounds like to me, but I'd love to know what she's saying...

Vanished
by Front Line Assembly

We cling to each other
Like a child and a mother
A desperation of separation
I feel I’m going under

whispered, with heavy reverb/echo (To the left to the right to the middle
My head is spinning around
To the left to the right to the middle
I'm going underground

To the left to the right to the middle
My head is spinning around
To the left to the right to the middle
I'm going underground)

Untrue as true can be
We're seeking endlessly
No answers for tomorrow
We'll drown in our sorrow

Vanishing horizons
We leave each other cold
I’m dying on the inside
Nowhere left to go
The bruises on my skin
Means you held too tight
The evil that you spoke of
Doesn’t make it right

Ah….
La allah moo li, allah moo la
La allah moo li, allah moo la
La allah moo li, allah moo la
(Eeee, ahhh…)


La allah moo li, allah moo la
whispered (I know what you're feeling)
La allah moo li, allah moo la
whispered (I know what you're thinking)
La allah moo li, allah moo la
whispered (I know what you're doing)
La allah moo li, allah moo la
whispered (I know what you're feeling)

Ahhhh….
Vanishing horizons (ahhhh…)
We leave each other cold (ahhhh…)
I’m dying on the inside (ahhhh…)
Nowhere left to go (ahhhh…)
The bruises on my skin (ahhhh…)
Means you held too tight (ahhhh…)
The evil that you spoke of (ahhhh…)
Doesn't make it right (ahhhh…)

Lilly, I think those words are correct. Here's a live version of the song to compare... the only difference is they say "a sleepy boy who will wake me" in the second line. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOtKy4HiUWA

And I think the "haphazard dentistry" is why they make a noise when they kiss... having suffered through four years of braces, I vividly remember that weird experience!

Just Like Everyone (aka No Big Deal)
by Saturn Missiles

Hey, how does it feel
To be no big deal
You’re just like everyone

Hey, what do you deserve
When you’ve lost your nerve
And you’re just like everyone

Never seen much of anything
Never been much of anything at all
And every day’s just like the last one
Just dragging on and on
And there’s no escape from the break of dawn
To the setting sun
You’re just like everyone

Hey, what have you done
Never had no fun
And you’re just like everyone
Hey, what can you say
Who’d listen anyway
‘Cause you’re just like everyone

Don’t you feel like you wanna hide
You’re never safe from the fear inside yourself
And every day’s just like the last one
Just dragging on and on
And there’s no escape from the break of dawn
To the setting sun
You’re just like everyone

And every day’s just like the last one
Just dragging on and on
And there’s no escape from the break of dawn
To the setting sun
You’re just like everyone

(Note: these lyrics aren't available anywhere I could find, so this is my best attempt.)

Fallout
by Chad Gendason

Is it enough to give
All of those who go on
Is it enough to live
With no one to rely on
Can I make it there
With nothing left on my own
I'd die to feel you near
Lost again the dark calls

Come down, I'll wait for you

Is it enough to breathe
It’s empty here when you're gone
Is it enough to scream
When nothing's left to live on
Is it enough to know
The silence fills my window
Is it enough to show
That what you left here's all alone

Come down, I'll wait for you
Feel around, you know it’s true, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Come down, Come down

Come down, I'll wait for you
Feel around, you know it's true
Come down,
I'll wait I'll wait for you for you for you

Mercy
by Duffy

(Hit the beat and take it to the first line)

Yeah yeah yeah [x4]

I love you
But I’ve gotta stay true
My morals got me on my knees
I’m begging please stop playing games

I don’t know what this is
But you’ve got me good
Just like you knew you would
I don’t know what you do
But you do it well
I’m under your spell

You’ve got me begging you for mercy (yeah yeah yeah)
Why won’t you release me? (yeah yeah yeah)
You’ve got me begging you for mercy (yeah yeah yeah)
Why won’t you release me? (yeah yeah yeah)
I said release me
(yeah yeah yeah)

Now you think that I
Will be something on the side
But you’ve got to understand
That I need a man
Who can take my hand
Yes I do

I don’t know what this is
But you've got me good
Just like you knew you would

I don’t know what you do
But you do it well
I’m under your spell

You’ve got me begging you for mercy (yeah yeah yeah)
Why won’t you release me? (yeah yeah yeah)
You’ve got me begging you for mercy (yeah yeah yeah)
Why won’t you release me? (yeah yeah yeah)
I said you’d better release me, yeah, yeah, cut it out now
(yeah yeah yeah)

(rap behind vocals)
You look at me and think we're the same kind
‘Cause you don’t know what I’ve got in mind
I want a bit more than I’m asking for
But I just don’t want to waste my time
You think that I’ll be the other girl
Just like there’s nothing in this world
I wanna have fun, gonna get me some
I just don’t know where you’re comin’ from

I’m begging you for mercy
Just why won’t you release me
I’m begging you for mercy
You got me begging
You got me begging
You got me begging

Mercy (yeah yeah yeah / mercy mercy, show me some, show me some)
Why won't you release me (yeah yeah yeah / mercy mercy, show me some, show me some)
I'm begging you for mercy (yeah yeah yeah / mercy mercy, show me some, show me some)
Why won't you release me? (yeah yeah yeah / mercy mercy, show me some, show me some)

You got me begging you for mercy, yeah (yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah)
I'm begging you for mercy (mercy mercy, show me some, show me some)
I'm begging you for mercy (mercy mercy, show me some, show me some)
I'm begging you for mercy (mercy mercy, show me some, show me some)
I'm begging you for mercy (mercy mercy, show me some, show me some)

Why won’t you release me? Yeah yeah

Break it down

You’ve got me begging (mercy)
Beggin’ you for mercy
You’ve got me begging
Down on my knees
I said, you’ve got me begging (mercy)
Beggin’ you for mercy
You’ve got me beg-ee-ee-een
Ee-ee-een
Ee-ee-een
Ee-ee-een ooooh…

I'm not sure I've got all the background vocals right, but this is pretty close. And thanks to the nice person who answered the Yahoo question about Duffy's little rap, the words to that are included in italics just above the verse they go with. https://answers.yahoo.com/question/inde ... 226AAc8XSN
