Lyrics of some songs used in Person of Interest
Some lyrics from songs used in Person of Interest episodes
Used in "Mission Creep" at the end. Obviously meant to refer to Joey & his girl, with echoes of Reese & Jessica...
Live With Me
by Massive Attack
[Whooooooo hoooh]
It don't matter, where you turn
Gonna survive, you live and learn.
I've been thinking about you, baby.
By the light of dawn,
And midnight blue ... day and night ... I've been missing you.
I've been thinking about you, baby.
Almost makes me crazy,
Come and live with me.
Either way, win or lose,
When you're born into trouble,
You live the blues,
I've been thinking about you, baby.
See: it almost makes me crazy.
Child, nothing's right if you ain't here
I'd give all that I have, just to keep you near
I wrote you a letter, and tried to make it clear,
But you just don't believe that I'm sincere.
I've been thinking about you, baby.
(woohoooo hoooo)
Plans and schemes, hopes and fears,
Dreams I've denied for all these years
I, I've been thinking about you, baby
Living with me, wow.
I've been thinking about you, baby
Makes me wanna [hoooo, hoooo, hoooo, hoooo]
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Child, nothing's right, if you ain't here
I'd give all that I have, just to keep you near.
I wrote you a letter, darling, tried to make it clear,
But you just don't believe that I'm sincere.
I've been thinking about you, baby
I want you to live with me, wow
I've been thinking about you, baby
I want you to live with me.
Used in "Flesh & Blood" when BAMF!Reese rescued Carter's kid
Burn My Shadow
by UNKLE featuring Ian Astbury
I have burned my tomorrow
And I stand inside today
At the edge of the future
And my dreams all fade away
I have burned my tomorrow
And I stand inside today
At the edge of the future
And my dreams all fade away
And burn my shadow away
And burn my shadow away
Fate's my destroyer
I was ambushed by the light
And you judged me once for falling
This wounded heart arrives
And burn my shadow away
And burn my shadow away
When I see the light
True love forever
When I see the light
True love forever
When I see the light
True love forever
When I see the light
True love forever
Burn my shadow
When I see the light
True love forever
When I see the light
True love forever
Oh burn my shadow
When I see the light
True love forever
Away
And burn my shadow away
Oh how I loved you
Used in "Risk" when Reese calls the burner phone and Elias answers. Yeah, IDEK what they were trying to imply with this one...
Down Boy
by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs
No fame
All there is, all there was
On the second lady
Can't take a cent
Take a cut
Of that kind of rent
I'll stand kind of pushed
Kind of bent, on this heavy land
I'll stand for the sake
Of my friend, I will see him there
Down
Down
Count me down
Down
Down boy, down
Count me down
Down boy
Down boy
Down boy
Down
The same
Not begin
Not give up
In a better way
Again, wash the stains
Off his bed
Not to split 'em up
I'll stand
For the sake
Of my friend
I will see him there
Well, I will see him there
Down
Down
Count me down
Down
Down boy
Down
Count me down
Down boy
Down boy
Down boy
Down
Down
Count me down
Down
Down boy
Used in "Many Happy Returns" through the end of the episode. More of Reese thinking he's a monster? I don't know...
Revenge
by Danger Mouse & Sparklehorse, featuring the Flaming Lips
Pain
I guess it's a matter of sensation
But somehow you have a way of avoiding it all
In my mind
I have shot you and stabbed you through your heart
I just didn't understand
The ricochet is the second part
'Cause you can't hide what you intend
It glows in the dark
Once you've sought
The path of revenge
There's no way to stop
And the more I try to hurt you
The more it hurts me
Strange
It seems like a character mutation
Though I have all the means of bringing you fuckers down
I can't make myself
To destroy upon command
Somehow forgiveness lets the evil make the laws
No you can't hide what you intend
It glows in the dark
Once we've become the thing we dread
There's no way to stop
And the more I try to hurt you
The more it backfires
The more that it backfires
The more that it backfires
Used in "Matsya Nyaya" through the end, starting around when Stanton shoots Reese. "I'm gonna die in a place that don't know my name" - Reese is still convinced about this, it seems. It's a pity he can't give Finch the gift of his real name in return for the gift of a home - I mean, he can, but since Finch already had his info from the military, he already knows it.
Lonely Soul
by UNKLE, featuring Richard Ashcroft
God knows you're lonely souls
God knows you're lonely souls
God knows you're lonely souls
Yeah, yeah
I believe there's a time and a place
To let your mind drift and get out of this place
I believe there's a day and a place
That we will go to and I know you wanna share
There's no secret to living
(There's no secret to living)
Just keep on walking
There's no secret to dying
(There's no secret to dying)
Just keep on flying
I'm gonna die in a place that don't know my name
I'm gonna die in a space that don't hold my fame
God knows you're lonely souls
God knows you're lonely souls
I believe there's a time when the cord of life
Should be cut, my friends
(Cut the cord, my friend)
I believe there's a time when the cord can be cut
And this vision ends
(Let this vision end)
But I'm gonna die in a place that don't know my name
And I'm gonna cry in a space that don't hold my name
Walking in the cold, just keep on flying
There'll be a searchlight on the mountain high
God knows you're lonely souls
God knows you're lonely souls
God knows you're lonely souls
God knows you're lonely souls
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, I'm a lonely soul
I'm gonna die in a place that don't know my name
I'm gonna die in a place that don't know my name
God knows you are lonely souls
Lonely souls, lonely souls
Lonely soul, I'm a lonely soul
So long, little chapel
Sweet is the sound
Pack up your light
Pack up your light
Say goodbye to the Holy water life
Sweet sound, in and out
Ahh
Pushing it in
