1. Invincible - OK Go
When they finally come to destroy the earth
They’ll have to go through you first
And I bet they wont be expecting that
When they finally come to destroy the earth
They’ll have to deal with you first
And my money says they won’t know about the
1000-Fahrenheit hot metal lights behind your eyes
Invincible
...
When they finally come out will you handle them
Will you devastate them deliberately
...
So please use your powers for good
Please use your powers for good
2. Casualty - Marty Casey and the Lovehammers
Nobody's safe 'round here no more
Drag this lonely boat from the shore
Cut the ropes that bind me
To save the ones behind me
Nobody's safe 'round here no more
...
Rise and fall
Climb the walls
Won't stop 'till I have it all
Persistance
Resistance
One man can make a difference
The battle's inside of me
The fight's begun but not yet won
And I won't become
One more casualty
3. Don't Make Me a Target - Spoon
Here come a man from the stars
We don't know why he go so far
And keep on marching along
Beating his drum
...
Don't make me a target
When you reach back in his mind
Feels like he's breaking the law
There's something back there he got
That nobody knows
4. Ladies and Gentlemen - Hot Hot Heat
There's a gentleman who's not so gentle 'cause he's too generous with his chit and his chat
So lately we've been discussing a way to rid this disgusting example of ample gossip and gab
...
He's a gentleman who plays a caricature of a character he wishes he was
So lately we've been ignoring all his stories as we smile and nod and let him simply do what he does
So watch out
And everybody's got the same story:
We never wanted him here
He showed up anyway
He never would leave us alone
We never wanted him here
He showed up anyway
But maybe that's ok
...
Soon this gentleman was barking louder when his biting harder didn't earn him respect
But lately we've been too proud to admit that we all might miss him just a bit now that he's packed up and left
What did we do?
5. Outta Heart - Hot Hot Heat
Make sure to wake me when you get back from the dead
I'll still be lying here in bed
All of your followers - they steal what you feel
It's just a shame it ain't real
It's in you to give
It's in you to take
It's in you stand up
It's in you to break
All of these people are waiting for someone to show them the way
I'm outta my soul
I'm out in the dark
I'm outta my mind
and I'm outta my heart
I'm outta my luck
I'm outta the know
I'm outta control but I want you to know
I'm outta my soul
I'm out in the dark
I'm outta my mind
and I'm outta my heart
I'm outta my luck
I'm down on my knees
If it matters to you I guess it matters to me
...
Are you worth your weight in gold?
6. Stay - 12 Stones
I walk to the edge again, searching for the truth
Taken by the memories of all that I've been through
If I could hear your voice I know I would be okay
I know that I've been wrong but I'm begging you to stay
Won't you stay
Will you be here or will I be alone,
Will I be scared
You'll teach me how to be strong
And if I fall down will you help me carry on
I cannot do this alone
I wish that I could turn back time
Just to have one more chance
To be the man I need to be
7. One of the Brightest Stars - James Blunt
One day your story will be told.
One of the lucky ones who's made his name
One day they'll make you glorious
Beneath the lights of your deserved fame
And it all comes 'round
Once in a lifetime like it always does
Everybody loves you 'cause you've taken a chance
Out on a dance to the moon, too soon
...
We were the ones who saw you first of all
We always knew that you were one of the brightest stars
One day they'll tell you that you've changed
Though they're the ones who seem to stop and stare
One day you'll hope to make the grave
Before the papers choose to send you there
8. I've Got All This Ringing in my Ears and None on my Fingers - Fall Out Boy
You’re a canary
I’m a coal mine
'Cause sorrow is just all the rage
Take one for the team
You all know what I mean
And I’m so sorry
But not really
Tell the boys where to find my body
...
The truth hurts worse
Than anything I could bring myself to do to you
9. Hide and Seek - Imogen Heap
Where are we?
What the hell is going on?
...
Spin me 'round again
And rub my eyes
This can't be happening
When busy streets a mess with people
Would stop to hold their heads heavy
...
Oily marks appear on walls
Where pleasure moments hung before the takeover
The sweeping insensitivity of this still life
