Another Playlist?
Saw the music posts from earlier in the month and thought I'd add my own contribution! =D Also, hi all! Thoughts?
(Edit: Links to songs added by request!)
"The Other Side" - Scissor Sisters
What will one day become of us?
We'll grow as grass under their feet
No one here will ever know your name
And still you lie here next to me
"It Can't Come Quickly Enough" - Scissor Sisters
We knew all the answers
And we shouted them like anthems
Anxious and suspicious
That God knew how much we cheated
There's no indication of
what we were meant to be
Sucking up to strangers
Throwing wishes to the sea
"Something About Us" - Daft Punk
(Note: This one I see more as Data reflecting on a bond to a life-form)
I need you more than anything in my life
I want you more than anything in my life
I'll miss you more than anyone in my life
"Danger! High Voltage" - Electric Six
(Data/Lore fun XD)
Don't you want to know how we keep starting fires?
It's my desire
It's my desire
Danger, Danger, High Voltage
When we touch
When we kiss
"Come Back (Lorn Remix)" - Eskmo
(No real lyrics, but I like to use it as a backdrop for writing mechanical things)
"I'm Your Villain" - Franz Ferdinand
(A fairly big chunk of lyrics from this I feel fits Data/Lore, mostly Lore's POV)
If I could laugh I'd love you
If I could smile at anything you said
We could be laughing lovers
I think you'd prefer to be miserable instead
If I could love I'd love you
If I could love like anybody else
I know what I am
And I'm your villain
Although I don't give a damn if
I'm your villain
Because serious
You're so serious
"Blue Bird of Happiness" - Jimmy Durante
(An oldie, with lyrics that I picture being taken somewhat seriously by Data, and used as a sarcastic little tune by Lore)
The beggar man and his mighty king
Are only different in name
For they are treated just the same by fate
Today a smile and tomorrow tears
So learn your lesson before too late
Two hearts that beat as one
Neath a newfound sun
We are in a world that's just begun
"Every Planet We Reach Is Dead" - Gorillaz
Picture I'm the dreamer
I'll take you deeper
Down to the sleepy glow
Time is a low
Don't you know?
What are we going to do?
"The Great Pretender" - Henner Hoier (There are many covers of the song)
(Another oldie, This one to me is about how Data tries to be human by going through the motions, but is unable to really grasp what it means. The same may perhaps apply to Lore.)
Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
Pretending that I'm living well
My need is such
I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no one can tell
Oh yes I'm the great pretender
Adrift in a world of my own
I play the game
But to my real shame
You've left me to dream all alone
Too real is this feeling of make believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can conceive
Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
Just laughing and gay like a clown
I seem to be
But I'm not you see
"I Hate Myself for Loving You" - Joan Jett and the Blackhearts
(In my fic-verse...There's a parallel between Data and Lore being infatuated with their 'father figures' at some point or another. Song applies to Data/Picard and Lore/Dr. Soong, as well as plain old Data/Lore =3)
I turn my back and you're messin around
I'm not really jealous
Don't like look'in like a clown
I think of you ev'ry night and day
You took my heart and you took my pride away
I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the things that you do
I wanna walk, but I run back to you, that's why
I hate myself for loving you
"Circuit Breaker" - Royksopp
(The song is fast-paced with lots of fancy-ish words. Makes me think of what might go through the mind of a being who's processes run so much more quickly than ours, during an intimate encounter.)
Charismatic pill
You elevated sun
Vanity and pride
Added into one
A universal force
An automatic high
A thing I can't control
No matter how I try
What have you done to me
This candid chemistry
Emotions running over me
And when you arch your back
Just with a stare like that
Well it's natural to interact
Synergy of two
Energy gone wild
See the stars align
To spell your name out in the sky
Never seen a sight
So fascinated by it
A symmetry between
Dirty and pristine
"Trick Tricky" - Royksopp
(I see it as a very Crazy!Lore song.)
It's a tricky, tricky
This little one, two
Well if it is a lunatic we'll name it after you
Put it in your pocket and pick it up
We're here to entertain
Show them what you've got
Six afraid of seven
Cause seven ate nine
I'm afraid of losing the pieces I find
If I was created equal
If this what I get?
A bunch of stories to interpret?
Ready to rock it
Like rock and roll
You are the flower in glittering gold
Sleeping in the palm
The palm of my hand
They show you who to follow
It looks like a man
"Dear Mr. SuperComputer" - Sufjan Stevens
Sometimes it may seem your best intentions
Take off with a fever anyway
1-2-3-4-5-6-7 All computers go to heaven
If you think you got the vision
Put it in the conversation
Oh religion, superstition
Man's conditioned mysteries incomplete
"Almost Human" - Voltaire (How in the heck did I forget this one? A definite Lore song in my book.)
What did I ever do to you
that you should treat me this way?
is it really such a crime
for an angel to speak his mind?
in time I'll try to shed some light
what did I ever do so wrong
that you should cast me from grace
though I love to rule in hell here
how I miss the taste of heaven
its soft and cool embrace
if I were a big boy I wouldn't cry
but since I'm not a big boy
I'll have to close my eyes
and picture what's it's like
I'm just like you
made by he
despised by they
I'm almost me
I'm nearly human look at me
I'm almost a human being
I'm just like you
made by he
despised by they
I'm almost me
i'm nearly human
pity me I'm almost a human being
these tears are real
I'm jealousy I'm spite and hate
to the core I'm mean
I'm nearly human look at me
I'm almost a human being
I'm just like you
better than he
to hell with they
I'm almost me
I'm nearly human
Pity me I'm almost a human being
