Wrapped Around Your Finger, The Police (Crawford, Estet)
YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4FKS-a9Enk
You consider me the young apprentice
Caught between the Scylla and Charybdis
Hypnotized by you if I should linger
Staring at the ring around your finger
I have only come here seeking knowledge
Things they would not teach me of in college
I can see the destiny you sold
Turned into a shining band of gold
I'll be wrapped around your finger
I'll be wrapped around your finger
Mephistopheles is not your name
I know what you're up to just the same
I will listen hard to your tuition
You will see it come to its fruition
I'll be wrapped around your finger
I'll be wrapped around your finger
Devil and the deep blue sea behind me
Vanish in the air you'll never find me
I will turn your face to alabaster
When you will find your servant is your master
Ohhh, you'll be wrapped around my finger
You'll be wrapped around my finger
You'll be wrapped around my finger
World In My Eyes, Depeche Mode (Schuldig/Yohji)
YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWZzSLrKNPg
Let me take you on a trip
Around the world and back
And you won't have to move
You just sit still
Now let your mind do the walking
And let my body do the talking
Let me show you the world in my eyes
I'll take you to the highest mountain
To the depths of the deepest sea
And we won't need a map, believe me
Now let my body do the moving
And let my hands do the soothing
Let me show you the world in my eyes
That's all there is
Nothing more than you can feel now
That's all there is
Let me put you on a ship
On a long, long trip
Your lips close to my lips
All the islands in the ocean
All the heavens in the motion
Let me show you the world in my eyes
That's all there is
Nothing more than you can touch now
That's all there is
Let me show you the world in my eyes
Last Night I Dreamt that Somebody Loved Me, The Smiths (Yohji, Nagi)
YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KDm1Hf1rQk
Last night I dreamt
That somebody loved me
No hope, but no harm
Just another false alarm
Last night I felt
real arms around me
No hope, no harm
Just another false alarm
So, tell me how long
Before the last one?
And tell me how long
Before the right one?
The story is old - I know
But it goes on
The story is old - I know
But it goes on
Oh, goes on
And on
Oh, goes on
And on
Where the Wild Roses Grow, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds w/ Kylie Minogue (Farfarello/Sally: what, you expected a happy ending? :D)
YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yy8inefTo6Q
They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day
From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one
She stared in my eyes and smiled
For her lips were the colour of the roses
That grew down the river, all bloody and wild
When he knocked on my door and entered the room
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
He would be my first man, and with a careful hand
He wiped at the tears that ran down my face
They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day
On the second day I brought her a flower
She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen
I said, "Do you know where the wild roses grow
So sweet and scarlet and free?"
On the second day he came with a single red rose
He said "Give me your loss and your sorrow"
I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed
"If I show you the roses, will you follow?"
They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day
On the third day he took me to the river
He showed me the roses and we kissed
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
As he knelt (stood smiling) above me with a rock in his fist
On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
And I kissed her goodbye, said, "All beauty must die"
And lent down and planted a rose ‘tween her teeth
They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day
In the Eye, Suzanne Vega (Schuldig) - no link available
If you were to kill me now right here
I would still look you in the eye
And I would burn myself into your memory
as long as you were still alive
I would live inside of you
I'd make you wear me like a scar
And I would burn myself
into your memory
and run through everything you are
I would not run, I would not turn, I would not hide
I would not run, I would not turn, I would not hide
If you were to kill me now right here
I would still look you in the eye
And I would burn myself
into your memory
as long as you were still alive
I would not run, I would not turn, I would not hide
I would not run, I would not turn, I would not hide
In the eye
Look me in the eye
