Songs of the Month
Miss Lorna's song divination meme. I decided to try it for other people, too..
July
For Piotr:
Cities in Dust - Siouxsie and the Banshees
For Mike:
John the Revelator - Depeche Mode
John the Revelator
Put him in an elevator
Take him up to the highest high
Take him up to the top where the mountains stop
Let him tell his book of lies
John the Revelator
He's a smooth operator
It's time we cut him down to size
Take him by the hand
And put him on the stand
Let us hear his alibis
By claiming God - As his holy right
He's stealing a God from the Israelites
Stealing a God from a Muslim, too
There is only one God through and through
Seven lies, multiplied by seven, multiplied by seven again
Seven angels with seven trumpets
Send them home on the morning train
Well who's that shouting?
John the Revelator!
All he ever gives us is pain
Well who's that shouting?
John the Revelator!
He should bow his head in shame
For John:
Eclipse - Apoptgyma Berzerk
But some day we'll catch a glimpse of eternity
As the world stands still, for a moment
And I guess we will be making history
When we all join hands just to watch the sky
And some day we'll catch a glimpse of eternity
As the world stands still, for a moment
For the veby first time and it's meant to be
We'll forget about ourselves and share the moment
(For a moment...)
For Jean-Paul:
User Friendly - Marilyn Manson
"I'm not in love, but I'm gonna fuck you
'til somebody better comes along."
[EDIT because Harry thinks I was unfair]
Or:
Ich Will - Rammstein
Lyrics and translation.
For Sally:
Out of Reach - Voltaire
It's all so clear to see
you can try to destroy me but not tonight
'cause I won't let you through
you can fight if you like some other time
you'll find I'm out of reach
your words can't hurt me I'm out tonight
For me:
Rotersand - Lifelight
come to my voices
reach for my hand
too many choices
don’t know where to land
no time for a breakdown
no time for remorse
turn on your lifelight
lead me out of the storm
there are times when seas are too deep
I feel I'm lost - no wind will bring my name to you
there are times I'm raging with fear
a spell that keeps me floundering in the nameless blue
