1 / Brighter than the Sunshine - Aqualung
"I never understood before
I never knew what love was for
My heart was broke, my head was sore
What a feeling
Tied up in ancient history
I didn't believe in destiny
I look up you're standing next to me
What a feeling
What a feeling in my soul
Love burns brighter than sunshine
Brighter than sunshine
Let the rain fall, i don't care
I'm yours and suddenly you're mine
Suddenly you're mine
And it's brighter than sunshine
I never saw it happening
I'd given up and given in
I just couldn't take the hurt again
What a feeling
I didn't have the strength to fight
Suddenly you seemed so right
Me and you
What a feeling
Love will remain a mystery
But give me your hand and you will see
Your heart is keeping time with me
I got a feeling in my soul ..."
|I wanted to begin with something happy ! Because The Christmas Invasion was amazingly funny. Love the lyrics ( a bit too common though)...the only problem could be that...well it snowed...]
2 / The Shores and the Plains - Millbrook
"I'm sitting here, lying, just talking to you
I Remembered at the wind and I said
and the stars in the sky
and I think to myself that there is someone out there
Who cares for me and who 'll care for the two
And the stars
And I wish you can hear my every heartbeats
Because if you could you'ld hear it will beat your words
Will you walk the shores with me and
Will you walk the plains with me my love?
Will you wait the storms with me and
Will you come away with me, my love, somewhere?
I wish that I could take away all of your planes
And I hate when you cry 'cause it makes me cry too
You were meant to be happy
And for that I would said
You'll get me a home
And the rest would be found
For that I love you
For that need you
And for that I beg you
I need you,
I want to
I wish I could show you
I wish I could rearch you
I wish I could ask you"
3 / The World Turned Upside Down - Coldplay
"X & Y
The land, sea, rivers, trees, the stars, the sky
That and this
We're part of a bigger plan
Don't know what it is
You and me
The land, sun, trees, the sky, the stars, the sea
365 Degrees
I am a puzzle, you're the missing piece
Hang on a minute, just a minute please
I'll come
And everything under the sun
What is this feeling that I can't explain
And why am I never gonna sleep again
What is this thing I've never seen before
A little boy lost in a breaking storm
Hide and sob, and away they fly
To write your name in the summer sky
Life has really only just begun
Life that comes
And everything under the sun
X is Y (why)
The land, sea, rivers, trees, the stars, the sky
365 Degrees
All of the surface and the underneath
Searching your mellow and outsings your key, ah
And everything under the sun
What is this feeling that I can't explain
And why am I never gonna sleep again
What is this thing I've never seen before
A little boy lost in a breaking storm
And you don't know that you've been born
Can't see the calm until the storm
Can't tell your right side from your wrong
Can't see the wave you're riding on."
[Happy song is happy. And Coldplay is always worth listening specially when they write things like "life has only just begun". ]
4 / Rebel Rebel - David Bowie
"You've got your mother in a whirl
She's not sure if you're a boy or a girl
Hey babe, your hair's alright
Hey babe, let's go out tonight
You like me, and I like it all
We like dancing and we look divine
You love bands when they're playing hard
You want more and you want it fast
They put you down, they say I'm wrong
You tacky thing, you put them on
Rebel Rebel, you've torn your dress
Rebel Rebel, your face is a mess
Rebel Rebel, how could they know?
Hot tramp, I love you so!
Don't ya?
You've torn your dress, your face is a mess
You can't get enough, but enough ain't the test
You've got your transmission and your live wire
You got your cue line and a handful of ludes
You wanna be there when they count up the dudes
And I love your dress
You're a juvenile success
Because your face is a mess
So how could they know?
So what you wanna know
Calamity's child, chi-chile, chi-chile
Where'd you wanna go?
What can I do for you? Looks like you've been there too'
[Bowie is made of win for this episode. Tooth and Claw was not one of my favorite episodes, but the Doctor and Rose were priceless in it ! I miss Happy!Doctor too...]
5 / Born Yesterday - Rob Dougan
"She thinks that I was born yesterday
She thinks that I go out with the tide and fade at the end of the day
She thinks that my hairs aren't numbered
And when pricked I don't cry in pain
Just cause I smile like a child born yesterday
And she thinks that I was born in another age
She thinks I get up with the sun and dream my life away
And she thinks that I cause I'm saying nothing that I've got nothing to say
Just cause I smile like a child born yesterday
And she thinks that I was born yesterday
She thinks that I came into this world (born without a name)
And she thinks that Im going nowhere cause I stay in one place
And cause I smile like a child born yesterday."
[I know it sounds like a weird choice. But I didn't find something that could be worth for Doctor/Sare Jane's reunion. Besides I thought this could be a perfect suite for Tooth and Claws....Rose begins to understand the Doctor is not human and has a past...Yeah I think it's only clear in my head !]
6 / Bloody Mother F**king Asshole
"Poetry is no place for a heart that's a whore
And I'm young & I'm strong
But I feel old & tired
Overfired
And I've been poked & stoked
It's all smoke, there's no more fire
Only desire
For you, whoever you are
You say my time here has been some sort of joke
That I've been messing around
Some sort of incubating period
For when I really come around
I'm cracking up
And you have no idea
No idea how it feels to be on your own
In your own home
with the fucking phone
And the mother of gloom
In your bedroom
Standing over your head
With her hand in your head
I will not pretend
I will not put on a smile
I will not say I'm all right for you
When all I wanted was to be good
To do everything in truth
Oh I I was born a man
So I could learn how to stand up for myself
Like those guys with guitars
I've been watching in bars
Who've been stamping their feet to a different beat
To a different beat
You bloody mother fucking asshole"
[I really like this episode, and I really liked reinette. But honeslty the doctor was a jerk. And I would perfectly understand Rose if she was thinking something like this. Funny choice.]
7 / Burning Bridges - Chris Pureka
"This is a story of burning bridges
and allowing time to pass
this is a story of forgiveness
and breaking things in my hands
this is a story of understanding
you can't choose who you love
and this is a story of soft skin
and rats in the walls
well you can't just pass along
the pain that comes around
you'll go dizzy until you fall
and I know you didn't mean to let me down
but you let me down so hard
this is a story of loaded glances
and leaning in too far
this is a story of vague advances
and confessions in smoky bars
so now I am walking down the sidewalk
and I am singing to myself
and I'm going to leave it all behind me now
'cause I don't need this,
I just don't need this
and you can't...
these memories are talking and talking
and I'll do anything to shut 'em up
I've got the pillow over my head
but they won't stop
no, no they won't stop
some fantasies are never meant to be
realized at all
and some regrets could be prevented
if you read the writing on the wall
oh and sometimes you say "you know nothing can happen"
and then she leans over and lifts off your glasses
and the next thing you know you're just tangled and guilty
and you've got a head full of liquor and perfume
oh and when did you leave me
and when did you find her
and tell me is this just what you wanted..."
[A must. I love this song. As if jerk-Doctor was bringing me inspiration...]
8 / 24 - Jem
"Been given 24 hours
to tie up loose ends
to make amends
His eyes said it all
I started to fall
and the silence deafened
Head spinning round
no time to sit down
just wanted to
run and run and run
Be careful they say
don't wish life away,
now I've one day
And I can't believe
How I've been wasting my time
In 24 hours they'll be
laying flowers
on my life, it's over tonight
I'm not messing no I
need your blessing
and your promise to live free
please do it for me
Is there a heaven a hell
and will I come back
who can tell
Now I can see
what matters to me
it's as clear as crystal
The places I've been
the people I've seen
plans that I made
start to fade
The sun's setting gold
thought I would grow old,
it wasn't to be
In 18 hours...
In 13 hours...
I'm not alone, I sense it, I sense it
All that I said, I meant it, I meant it
In just 8 hours...
In just 1 hour they'll be
laying flowers
on my life, it's over tonight
I'm not messing no I
need your blessing
and your promise to live free
please do it for me."
[I know they stayed 48h hours in this parallel world, but all the same...XD]
9 / Tapes - Alanis Morissette
I am someone easy to leave
Even easier to forget
A voice, if inaccurate
Again, I'm the one they all run from
Diatribes of clouded sun
Someone help me find the pause button
All these tapes in my head swirl around
Keeping my vibe down
All these thoughts in my head aren't my own
Wreaking havoc
I'm too exhausting to be loved
A volatile chemical
Best to quarantine and cut off
I'm a thorn in your sweet side
You are better off without me
It'd be best to leave at once."
[Because honestly this was not Rose's best time. She was rejected by almost everyone. Her Alt Mother, her Alt Father, and Mickey decided to leave...]
10 / Glorious Day - Embrace
"Who could send something so pure to lure me away?
i fought with the last of my breath.
but you came along on a glorious day.
by the time that you left i was crawling again.
yeah you came along on a glorious day.
now i want you to save me again.
The fire that they said would burn just lights up the way.
i lie in the place where i fell.
and three years on this nine day wonder won't go away.
till you bring an end to my hell.
when you came along on a glorious day.
by the time that you left i was crawling again.
yeah you came along on a glorious day.
now i want you to save me again.
Let them all keep their plans, cause all i want is in my hands,
and i can't look down.
back then i had it all, and now i want it back that's all,
and i can't get out."
[Optimism again. but not for long]
11 / 2nd Law - Tom McRae
"Tell all my friends
I have gone to the moon
Tell all my friends
I will write them soon
And tell them
If you see them
That I am better left alone
'Cause I'm living up here where the air is thin
And where gravity don't bring you down
Yeah I'm living up here and I'm watching your universe cooling down
I spend my days beneath a perspex dome
I think that I have finally come home
So tell them
If you see them
That I am better left alone."
12 / Eve, The Apple of My Eye
"You left it, I sent it
I want it back
You left it, I sent it
I want it back
If I had you here, I'd clip your wings
Snap you up and leave you sprawling on my pin
This plan of mine is oh so very lame
Can't you see the grass is greener where it rains
You left, I died,
I went and you cried
You came, I think
But I never really know
I've served my time
I've watched you climb
The wrong incline
But what do I know
Accept it, Don't let it
Turn the screw
Accept it, And let it
Scream back at you
Now this applies both equally to you and I
The only thing we share
Is the same sky
These empty metaphors
They're all in vain
Like can't you see the grass is greener where it rains
In the garden Snake was a charmin'
And Eve said let's give it a try
Now lead us not into temptation
But no matter how hard I try
When in the garden and
Snake is a charmin'
And Eve says let's give it a try
Eve is the apple of my eye
And I lie behind you
And a cradle you in the palm of me
And I pat your hair down
I think will we sink or swim?
'Cause we could do either on a whim."
[No one really understands these lyrics but the song is beautiful anyway.]
13 / Wonderwall - Ryan Adams
"Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now
Backbeat the word is on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now
And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
But I don't know how
Because baby
You're gonna be the one that saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall."
|I love the original, but as I found Ryan Adams's cover I couln't resist...Beautiful piece of music.]
14 / Modern Love - David Bowie
There's no sign of life
It's just the power to charm
I'm lying in the rain
But I never wave bye-bye
But I try, I try
Never gonna fall for
Modern love - walks beside me
Modern love - walks on by
Modern love - gets me to the church on time
Church on time - terrifies me
Church on time - makes me party
Church on time - puts my trust in god and man
God and man - no confessions
God and man - no religion
God and man - don't believe in modern love
It's not really work
It's just the power to charm
I'm still standing in the wind
But I never wave bye bye
[Seriously how was I supposed to find something that could fit this episode ! Hopefully there's always Bowie somewhere to save the day...]
15 / Mr Blue Sky - Electronic Orchestra (Bonus)
"Sun is shinin' in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin' ev'rybody's in a play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day
Runnin' down the avenue
See how the sun shines brightly in the city
On the streets where once was pity
Mister blue sky is living here today
Mister blue sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long
Where did we go wrong?
Hey you with the pretty face
Welcome to the human race
A celebration, mister blue sky's up there waitin'
And today is the day we've waited for
Hey there mister blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Ev'rybody smiles at you
Mister blue, you did it right
But soon comes mister night creepin' over
Now his hand is on your shoulder
Never mind I'll remember you this
I'll remember you this way"
[As usual the song played in this episode as a bonus.]
16 / Tender - Feeder
"Ache
Can't watch you break
And shatter
Saved
New lives to make
Us better
I'm letting you know
Cleansing my soul
Been letting you know
For days
Turn over everything
Time can heal us again
I'm tender in your arms
Reaching inside of me
Bringing the love I need
The loneliness has gone
Faith
New roads to take
Together
Days
Lying awake
Remember."
[This had to be put there...Miss Ten/Rose in those times...]
17 / Dream - Priscilla Ahn
"I was a little girl alone in my little world
who dreamed of a little home for me.
I played pretend between the trees,
and fed my houseguests bark and leaves,
and laughed in my pretty bed of green.
I had a dream
That I could fly from the highest swing.
I had a dream.
Long walks in the dark through woods grown behind the park,
I asked God who I'm supposed to be.
The stars smiled down on me,
God answered in silent reverie.
I said a prayer and fell asleep.
Now I'm old and feeling grey.
I don't know what's left to say about this life I'm willing to leave.
I lived it full and I lived it well,
there's many tales I've lived to tell.
I'm ready now, I'm ready now, I'm ready now to fly from the highest wing.
I had a dream."
[I love the innocence of this song. 's voice is really sweet and I think the song works well for Rose.]
18 / All I Need - Mat Kearney
"Here it comes it’s all blowing in tonight
I woke up this morning to a blood red sky
They’re burning on the bridge turning off the lights
We’re on the run I can see it in your eyes
If nothing is safe then I don’t understand
You call me your boy but I’m trying to be the man
One more day and it’s all slipping with the sand
You touch my lips and grab the back of my hand
The back of my hand
Guess we both know we’re in over our heads
We got nowhere to go and no home that’s left
The water is rising on a river turning red
It all might be ok or we might be dead
If everything we’ve got is slipping away
I meant what I said when I said until my dying day
I’m holding on to you, holding onto me
Maybe it’s all gone black but you’re all I see
You’re all I see
The walls are shaking, I hear them sound the alarm
Glass is breaking so don’t let go of my arm
Grab your bags and a picture of where we met
All that we’ll leave behind and all that’s left
If everything we’ve got is blowing away
We’ve got a rock and a rock till our dying day
I’m holding on to you, holding on to me
Maybe it’s all we got but it’s all I need
You’re all I need
And if all we’ve got is what no one can break
I know I love you
If that’s all we can take
The tears are coming down
They’re mixing with the rain
I know I love you, if that’s all we can take
A pool is running for miles on the concrete ground
We’re eight feet deep and the rain is still coming down
The TV’s playing it all out of town
We’re grabbing at the fray for something that won’t drown."
[When the end of the world brings inspiration...Awesome]
19 / Big Chair - Travis
"you
And that's why it's quite hard to get through this alone
You're the only one I can talk to about it
In my darkest night I will be on my own
These walls that we climb are hard to recognise
They fall when I say your name
Here we go fast and slow on the big chair
But we don't know where we're going on the big chair
Don't you know it's hard, quite, in a time of confusion
To tell you that I love you
You see it could have been me instead of you
It could have been me if I wanted to
But it wasn't
So we'll have to face the truth
These walls that we climb are hard to recognise
They fall when I say your name
Time to pull the shutters down
Breaking clouds don't make a sound
When they cry."
[The last sever song of Travis that I love. Honeslty just look at the lyrics ! They are amazing for Doomsday...]
20 / Silver Coin - Angus & Julia Stone
"Heard the rattle from the train
Sounds of a hundred people,
Maybe more
Cut through the ropes before you came
I had a dream that you were gone.
I'm in the days of throwing rocks
When I saw your picture on a silver coin
Stole a kiss through your golden locks
I had a dream that you were gone.
Woke up and you were gone
All the love has gone away
Cos I didnt have the heart or strength to say
I'll miss you when you're gone
Heard the rattle from the chains
This goddamn room it gets so small sometimes
I had a dream that you were gone
Woke up and you were gone."
[Beautiful song...The lyrics works perfectly I think.]
21 / Never Meant To Hurt you - Wire Daisies
"So if I loved you
Should I dare to tell you
Would it silence you
Like a photograph
So no one told you
How I came to love you
How I came to feel
For you
And if you're willing
Please forgive me
I never meant to leave you
So nobody could hurt you
And if your conscience could clear mine
I never meant to leave you
I never meant to hurt you
So you left me there
No one said you loved me
No one said u cared
No one ever did ."
[As usual I'm not really fond of these music. But I don't know why I'm enthralled by this one...]
22 / You Only Disappear - Tom McRae
"Close my eyes I'm moving still
Magazines and dollar bills
And you wake up to a fall of snow
Your telephone your radio
Baby I'll call up a storm
Keep you safe from harm
But you only you only disappear
You only you only disappear
I can live with my regrets
Still raise a smile, still raise my head
And a stranger God can be so cruel
And a holy fool is still a fool
But this is all I can say
I have lost my way
But you only you only disappear
You only you only disappear
With a word with a line
With a smile that says goodbye
Baby says goodbye
It's raining now
On Royal Street
And I'd walk to you
If I could trust my feet."
23 / When it's Cold I'd Like to Die - Moby
"Where were you when I was lonesome?
Locked away with freezing cold
Someone flying only stolen
I can't tell this light so old
I don't want to swim the ocean
I don't want to fight the tide
I don't want to swim forever
When it's cold I'd like to die
What was that my sweet sweet nothing?
I can't hear you through the fog
If I holler let me go
If I falter let me know."
[I know, I know very depressing ending, but I could not help it, Doomsday's ending is not what you could call happy...]
