#541 - [FANMIX] Creep: A BBC Sherlock Fanmix
Title: Creep: A Sherlock BBC Fanmix
Pairing: Sherlock/Moriarty, more rivalry than romance
Number of tracks: 10
Disclaimer: Songs are the property of their respective artists. Cover designs were created by me in Photoshop. Please do not repost without proper credit.
Notes: I don't usually make fanmixes, but I had a lot of fun hunting down songs for this one, so I hope someone else enjoys it as well. The songs are roughly arranged in a call-response pattern, but I'll leave it to you to figure out who's doing the talking. Artists include the Smashing Pumpkins, Crooked Fingers, and Tom Waits.
1. The Beginning is the End is the Beginning - the Smashing Pumpkins
Is it bright where you are?
Have the people changed?
Does it make you happy you're so strange?
And in your darkest hour
I hold secrets flame
We can watch the world devoured in it's pain
2. Creep - Radiohead
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
3. Let’s Not Pretend (To Be Good Men) - Crooked Fingers*
You can waste your precious time
Trying to erase all your thin little crimes
Making new waves, tiny drops in the ocean
Why trade old habits for newfound devotions
When you can shed your skin
And slither in with some new friends
Cover your horns, put a hat on your head
Paint everything blue that used to be red
We’ll jump in the river
In the black water dive
Down to some treasure
They left behind
You may get rich
Or maybe you will drown
So let’s begin
The question is not if but when
And let’s not pretend
To be good men
You can change your shirt
Scrape off the grime and the dirt
Barbwire the mirrors
Don’t look at yourself
Pull all your sinister ways from the shelf
Cause you did what you did
But you did it so well
Say what you want
But you’ll do it again
If they could not trust you before
Then they won’t trust you now
Oh they won’t trust you now
So don’t repent
Don’t be sorry now for your sins
And let’s not pretend
No, let’s not pretend
No no, no no
Let’s not pretend
No, let’s not pretend
Let’s not pretend
To be good men
Let’s not pretend
No, let’s not pretend
Let’s not pretend
To be new men
*I couldn’t find lyrics for this anywhere, so I did my best to transcribe them myself! :)
4. Behind Blue Eyes - the Who
But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free
…
If I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
If I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat
5. It’s Nice to Know You Work Alone - Silversun Pickups
It's the beauty of confession
In the sound when the levees break
And all the air is wrong, wrong
Redesigning a connection
A composition painted on my face
With a smile drawn on, on
6. We Are Detective - Thompson Twins
Somebody's watching me
And now I’m nervous and I shouldn't be
Somebody's got their eye on me
Perhaps I should invite him up for tea?
7. The More You Ignore Me, the Closer I Get - Morrissey
Beware! I bear more grudges
Than lonely high court judges
When you sleep
I will creep
Into your thoughts
Like a bad debt
That you can't pay
Take the easy way
And give in
Yeah, and let me in
Oh, let me in
Oh let me ...
Oh, let me in
IT'S WAR
IT'S WAR
IT'S WAR
IT'S WAR
IT'S WAR
8. Red Right Hand - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
He'll wrap you in his arms,
Tell you that you've been a good boy
He'll rekindle all the dreams
It took you a lifetime to destroy
He'll reach deep into the hole,
Heal your shrinking soul
But there won't be a single thing
That you can do.
He's a god, he's a man,
He's a ghost, he's a guru
They're whispering his name
Through this disappearing land
But hidden in his coat
Is a red right hand
9. More Than Rain - Tom Waits
It’s more than thunder it's more than thunder
It’s more than a swindle this crooked card game
It’s more than sad times it's more than sad times
None of our pockets are filled with gold
Nobody’s caught the boquet
There are no dead presidents we can fold
Nothing is going our way
And it's more than goodbye I have to say to you
It’s more than woe-be-gotten grey skies now
10. Requiem for a Dream, main theme - RfaD OST
[Instrumental]
