I'm putting this up at the request of erinm. Made for (and x-posted from) Theme 009: Alphabet at
fanmix.
Subject: Zero
Title: I'm Your Villain
Warnings: None
Notes: Because Callum Keith Rennie is, as always, a total sexpot.
1. Jucifer -- Amplifier
buried like a hero but
remembered as a freak
so let's all switch on an amplifier
and rock out to the beat
2. The Faint -- Agenda Suicide
agenda suicide, the drones work hard before they die
and give up on pretty little homes
(like a cast shadow)
Life expectancy in Azkadellia's workforce is not especially high.
3. Radiohead -- Electioneering
Riot shields, voodoo economics,
it's just business, cattle prods and the I.M.F.
I trust I can rely on your vote.
Anthem of a tyrannical regime.
4. Rufus Wainwright -- Evil Angel
Tear down these monuments
Bury the coat of arms
And build for me a factory
Working for Azkadellia -- saying goodbye to Oz, and hello to the O-Z.
5. Franz Ferdinand -- I'm Your Villain
I know what I am
I'm your villain
I don't give a damn if
I'm your villain
Because serious
You're so serious
But I've got ready salted
ready on your belly
If you want to have fun
See you later.
Zero is, if anything, unrepentant.
6. A Perfect Circle -- Imagine
Imagine no possessions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
A little twist of dirge-melodic irony.
7. Franz Ferdinand -- Outsiders
I've seen some years
But you're still my Caesar
With everything I feel
I feel you've already been here
The only difference is all I see is now all that I've seen.
8. The Killers -- Uncle Jonny
I say my appetite ain't got no heart
Shocking people when you feel that pull
Shock 'em jump 'em when you know its full
I feel a burning in my body core
It's a yearning that you can't ignore.
9. Chris Cornell -- You Know My Name
Arm yourself because no-one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize; it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die
The coldest blood runs through my veins
You know my name
Everyone in the O-Z knows Zero, and everyone knows that he means trouble.
Bonus tracks! These were slightly too silly to put on the main CD (though they are in the main .zip). Let's face it...they broke the flow. :P
The White Stripes -- I'm Finding It Harder To Be a Gentleman Everyday
Well I'm finding it harder
to be a gentleman every day
all the manners that I've been taught
have slowly died away
Scissor Sisters -- I Can't Decide
Oh I could throw you in the lake,
Or feed you poisoned birthday cake,
I wont deny I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
Oh I could bury you alive
But you might crawl out with a knife
And kill me when I'm sleeping that's why.
I can't decide whether you should live or die
Though you'll probably go to heaven
Please don't hang your head and cry
No wonder why my heart feels dead inside
Sold and bought and petrified
Lock the doors and close the blinds
We're going for a ride
Marilyn Manson -- You Spin Me Right Round
I...Don't wanna know your name
But I...Do want your private number baby
All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' arms
I want some, want some
The last one I blame entirely on dgmpepper's lovely Callum vid, set to the same. It made me go "Ooooh!" and blush a lot. Check it out
here on youtube.
