pretty when you cry: another kip & me EP
01. lady gaga - bad romance
i want your ugly, i want your disease
i want your every thing, as long as it's free
i want your love and i want your revenge
you and me could write a bad romance
i want your love and all your lover's revenge
you and me could write a bad romance
02. ok go - a million ways
play that song again, another couple klonopin
a nod, a glance, a half hearted bow
i should, i wish i could, maybe if you were i would
a list of standard issue regrets
one last 80 proof, slouching in the corner booth
baby, it's as good as it gets
oh such grace, oh such beauty
so precious, suspicious, and charming and vicious
oh darling, you're a million ways to be cruel
03. vast - pretty when you cry
and the moon gives me permission
and i enter through her eyes
she's losing her virginity
and all her will to compromise
i didn't want to fuck you baby
i didn't want to fuck you
i didn't want to fuck you
but you're pretty when you're mine
i didn't really love you, baby
i didn't really love you
i didn't really love you
but i'm pretty when i lie
you hurt me baby
i hurt you baby
if you knew how much i love you
you would run away
but when i treat you bad
it always makes you want to stay
i didn't want to hurt you, baby
i didn't want to hurt you, baby...
(how can you do this to me now?)
04. skillet - monster
my secret side i keep
hid under lock and key
i keep it caged but i can't control it
cause if i let him out
he'll tear me up, break me down
it's hiding in the dark
its teeth are razor sharp
there's no escape for me
it wants my soul, it wants my heart
no one can hear me scream
maybe it's just a dream
or maybe it's inside of me
05. sarah mclachlan - adia
adia, i do believe i failed you
adia, i know i let you down
don't you know i tried so hard
to love you in my way?
(it's easy... let it go)
adia, i'm empty since you left me
trying to find a way to carry on
i search myself and every one
to see where we went wrong
if only you'd let yourself believe that
we are born innocent
believe me, adia, we are still innocent
it's easy; we all falter
but does it matter?
06. placebo - black-eyed
i was never faithful
and i was never one to trust
borderlining schizo
and guaranteed to cause a fuss
i was never loyal
except to my own pleasure zone
i'm forever black-eyed
a product of a broken home
07. belle & sebastian - stay loose
i was feeling like a loser
you said, "hey, you've still got me"
i was feeling pretty lonely
you said, "you wanted to be free"
i was looking for a good time
you said, "let the good times start"
with a quiver of your eyelid
you took on someone else's part
but what about me?
i don't really see
how things will improve
when all you want is to stay loose
and i know it could be me,
i'm always asking for more
(more, more, more, more)
i keep running 'round in circles
i keep looking for a doorway
i'm going to need two lives
to follow the paths i've been taking

(If any one's wondering how "Black-Eyed" fits into all of this, I always imagine Kip singing that as an "I'm sorry" to me. A "I'm screwed up and that's why I treat you bad" sorry, but an apology none the less. To this day, I've never actually heard "I'm sorry" out of her mouth, so maybe that's why I love listening to this song so much. To be honest, I'm not ever expecting it. )
Thanks jadegates, ddevotchka, and gandolforf for the addition of the Skillet, VAST, and Belle & Sebastian songs.
