I am just full of the pan-fandom love lately...
Shiny new fanmix, yay! I've actually been sort of working on this one off and on for a while, but it's only now come to fruition, so here. I've done this one for Crowley/Aziraphale, my Good Omens OTP, and I tried to arrange the songs in an order that would a) flow well and b) tell a story. I hope I succeeded. Even if you don't ship them or don't know GO, hey! Free music! (posted to fanmix and lower_tadfield)
The original art for the covers was done by the ever-talented linnpuzzle and can be found here and here. Thanks!
Good Omens - Crowley/Aziraphale - Banging On The Door Of An Angel
1. Death Cab For Cutie - The New Year (lyrics) - both
So this is the new year/And I don't feel any different/The clanking of crystal/Explosions off in the distance/So this is the new year/And I have no resolutions/For self-assigned penance/For problems with easy solutions ... I wish the world was flat like the old days/Then I could travel just by folding a map/No more airplanes, or speedtrains, or freeways/There'd be no distance that could hold us back
2. Liz Phair - Extraordinary (lyrics) - Aziraphale
You think that I go home at night/Take off my clothes, turn out the lights/But I burn letters that I write/To you, to make you love me ... I am extraordinary, if you'd ever get to know me ... You may not believe in me/But I believe in you/So I still take the trash out/Does that make me too normal for you?
3. matchbox twenty - Downfall (lyrics) - Crowley
Wonder how you sleep/I wonder what you think of me/If I could go back/Would you have ever been with me?/I want you to be uneased/I want you to remember/I want you to believe in me/I want you on my side/Come on and lay it down/I've always been with you/Here and now/Give all that's within you/Be my savior/And I'll be your downfall
4. Hoobastank - If I Were You (lyrics) - Aziraphale
You seem to find the dark when everything is bright/You look for all that's wrong instead of all that's right/Does it feel good to you to rain on my parade?/You never say a word unless it's to complain/It's driving me insane/If I were you/Holding the world right in my hands/The first thing I'd do/Is thank the stars for all that I have/If I were you/Look what surrounds you now/More than you ever dreamed/Have you forgotten just how hard it used to be/So what's it going to take for you to realize/It all could go away in one blink of an eye/It happens all the time
5. Queen - Innuendo (lyrics) - Crowley
While the sun hangs in the sky and the desert has sand/While the waves crash in the sea and meet the land/While there's a wind and the stars and the rainbow/'Til the mountains crumble into the plain/Oh yes, we'll keep on tryin'/Tread that fine line/Oh, we'll keep on tryin', yeah/Just passing our time ... Our lives dictated by tradition, superstition, false religion/Through the eons, and on and on ... Through the sorrow, all through our splendour/Don't take offense at my innuendo/If there's a God or any kind of justice under the sky/If there's a point, if there's a reason to live or die/If there's an answer to the questions we feel bad to ask/Show yourself - destroy our fears - release your mask
6. Joseph Arthur - In The Sun (lyrics) - Aziraphale
I picture you in the sun wondering what went wrong/And falling down on your knees asking for sympathy/And being caught in between all you wish for and all you've seen/And trying to find anything you can feel that you can believe in/May God's love be with you/Always/May God's love be with you
7. The Stereophonics - Dakota (lyrics) - Crowley
Thinking back, thinking of you/Summertime, think it was June/Yeah, think it was June/Laying back, head on the grass/Chewing gum, having some laughs/Yeah, having some laughs ... Drinking back, drinking for two/Drinking with you/When drinking was new/Sleeping in the back of my car/We never went far/Didn't need to go far/You made me feel like the one/Made me feel like the one
8. Vertical Horizon - Angel Without Wings (lyrics) - Aziraphale
We started out so brand new, darling/But now it seems that nothing can change your mind/I have seen your city lights/But have you seen my country skies?/Watch the world go twirling by/And perhaps it's common fears/Or uncommon hearts/That makes us insincere/And torn apart/But when will I learn/Love is just my fantasy disguised/An angel without wings can hardly fly/And love without a dream, it will not survive
9. Goo Goo Dolls - Let Love In (lyrics) - both
You smile, hiding behind a God-given face/But I know you're so much more/Everything they ignore is all that I need to see/You're the only one I ever believed in/The answer that could never be found/The moment you decided to let love in/Now I'm banging on the door of an angel/The end of fear is where we begin/The moment we decided to let love in
10. The Magnetic Fields - Swinging London (lyrics) - Crowley
I read your manifestos and your strange religious tracts/You took me to your library and kissed me in the stacks/Planets crash, the world goes nova/Sun explodes, all goes black/You went off swinging London and forgot to come back ... You couldn't grok my racecar, but you dug the roadside blur/You weren't into my airplane, but you loved the whirling world
11. Death Cab For Cutie - I Will Follow You Into The Dark (lyrics) - both
Love of mine, someday you will die/But I'll be close behind/I'll follow you into the dark/No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white/Just our hands clasped so tight/Waiting for the hint of a spark/If heaven and hell decide/That they both are satisfied/Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs/If there's no one beside you/When your soul embarks/Then I'll follow you into the dark ... You and me have seen everything to see/From Bangkok to Calgary/And the soles of your shoes are all worn down/The time for sleep is now/It's nothing to cry about/Cause we'll hold each other soon/The blackest of rooms
Sinister Ducks - March Of The Sinister Ducks (lyrics) - bonus
Everyone thinks they're such sweet little things/Ducks, ducks! Quack, quack! Quack, quack!/Soft downy feathers and nice little wings/Ducks, ducks! Quack, quack! Quack, quack! ... What are they doing at night in the park?/Ducks, ducks! Quack, quack! Quack, quack!/Think of them waddling about in the dark/Ducks, ducks! Quack, quack! Quack, quack! ... Look closer and you may recoil in surprise/At web-footed fascists with mad little eyes/Ducks, ducks! Quack, quack! Quack, quack!
