Medium: Television.
Fandom: Merlin.

Preview:
1. Eels - Royal Pain
"I got some sleep and I needed it,
Not a lot, just a little bit,
Someone's always tryin' to keep me from it,
It's a cryin' shame,
It's a royal pain in the neck.
I'm just tryin' to get by
With my pride a little bit intact.
Ask me any question and I'll level with you,
I didn't ask for anything but bein' with you,
That's the only thing I was born to do."
2. The Wedding Present - What Did Your Last Servant Die Of?
"Do you have to spend so much time on your hair?
Well couldn't you have started earlier? Of course you've got things to wear!
No, I didn't pick up your coat on the way,
Some of us have to work you know, have you been sitting there all day?
All that I've done for you,
After all that I have done for you."
3. Echo & The Bunnymen - Clay
"Am I the half of half-and-half,
Or am I the half that's whole?
I've got to be one with all my halves
It's my worthy earthly goal.
Are you the heavy half
Of the lighter me?
Are you the ready part
That has entered me?"
4. The Bottle Rockets - Suffering Servant
"Would I go too far,
Would I cross the line,
If I were to ask "do I ever cross your mind?"
And would it be a sin
To want to know your plan?
Or do you toss the dice just to see where they will land?
Am I your suffering servant?
What do you want from me?"
5. They Might Be Giants - Birdhouse In Your Soul
"I'm your only friend,
I'm not your only friend
But I'm a little glowing friend
But really I'm not actually your friend
But I am
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you,
Make a little birdhouse in your soul.
Not to put too fine a point on it,
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet,
Make a little birdhouse in your soul.
I have a secret to tell."
6. The Divine Comedy - Everybody Knows (Except You)
"Everybody knows that I love you,
Everybody knows that I need you,
Everybody knows that I do
Except you.
Everybody knows I live for you,
Everybody knows I adore you,
Everybody knows that it's true
Except you."
7. The Doors - We Could Be So Good Together
"We could be so good together,
Yeah, so good together,
We could be so good together,
Ya, we could, I know we could.
Tell you lies,
I tell you wicked lies.
Tell you lies,
Tell you wicked lies."
8. Of Montreal - Gallery Piece
"I want to be your love,
I want to make you cry,
And sweep you off your feet.
I want to hurt your pride,
I want to slap your face.
I want to make you laugh,
I want to dress the same,
I want to defend you.
I want to squeeze your thighs,
I want to kiss your eyelids
And corrupt your dreams.
I want to tell you lies,
I want to write you books.
I want to turn you on,
I want to make you come
200 times a day."
9. Clem Snide - Action
"And if the bedroom feels cold
Then we can unfold tonight
And your hand I will kiss
So unclench that fist it's so tight.
You're everything I want to do,
'Cause when there's love there's action."
10. José González - In Our Nature
"Put down your sword.
Send home your dogs.
Open up your doors.
Let down your guard.
It's in our nature.
It's in our nature.
It's in our nature.
It's in our nature.
Put down your gun.
Ignore the alarm.
Open up your heart.
Let down your guard."
11. B.C. Camplight - Couldn't You Tell?
"And if you offer me a second chance,
Then I would quickly need another.
Couldn't you tell?
Couldn't you tell?
Couldn't you tell
That I'm a liar*
And you should go?
And if I leave you with the mess I made
Or if I leave you empty handed
Shouldn't you know?
Shouldn't you know?
Shouldn't you know
That I'm a liar*
And you should go."
* - all the lyrics I've found give this word as 'alive' but I swear he says 'a liar' and it fits my subject matter. So there.
12. The Teardrop Explodes - Treason
"Is it real?
Or is it treason?
Is it treason?
Mirror hopping days of coarse reaction,
Oh it's very hard to fight.
I tried to find a plan of action
But I couldn't get it right."
13. Yann Tiersen - Les Jours Tristes
"It's hard, hard not to sit on your hands
And bury your head in the sand,
Hard not to make other plans
and claim that you've done all you can all along
And life must go on.
It's hard but you know it's worth the fight
'cause you know you've got the truth on your side,
When the accusations fly, hold tight.
Don't be afraid of what they'll say,
Who cares what cowards think, anyway?
They will understand one day, one day."
14. The Very Most - Good Fight Fighting
"I got to learn when to stand up and fight the good fight,
I got to learn how to balance respect and what's right.
I got to learn what it means just to hold up my head,
I'm starting to think that if I'm not myself then I'm dead."
15. The Dodos - Men
"We are in love,
We are at war,
I feed myself,
You feed the poor,
I write the fiction,
You write the lore.
And if I get out
I won't be saved,
You are my keeper
I am your slave.
You're in my thoughts,
You're in my way."
16. The Shins - Pink Bullets
"I was just bony hands, as cold as a winter pole,
You held a warm stone out new flowing blood to hold.
Oh what a contrast you were,
To the brutes in the halls,
My timid young fingers held a decent animal.
Over the ramparts you tossed
The scent of your skin and some foreign flowers,
Tied to a brick,
Sweet as a song,
The years have been short but the days were long.
Since then it's been a book you read in reverse,
So you understand less as the pages turn,
Or a movie so crass
And awkwardly cast
That even I could be the star."
17. Gruff Rhys - The Court of King Arthur
"Digging deeper I hit on an ancient lump,
Lift my spade up,
And dig a bit deeper,
Must be careful with my magnetometer,
Excavation takes a long time;
First I survey,
Then dig through the lime.
Hieroglyphics tell me you're here somewhere,
Been Radio Carbon dating for years and years,
How I've missed you by just a few inches,
Found your hand,
But you don't pull no punches.
Artefacts are calling me under,
'cause I'm digging for treasure,
I'm digging deep for the Court of King Arthur, Arthur."
