[Playlist] Velveteen Boy

This playlist is slightly ridiculous, both in its angst and its absurdity. But then, it is Ianto's playlist, so there you go.

Take this, young man, and know joy:

A Praise Chorus - Jimmy Eat World (Lyrics)
Are you gonna live your life wonderin' standing in the back lookin' around?
Are you gonna waste your time thinkin' how you've grown up or how you missed out?
Things are never gonna be the way you want;
Where's it gonna get you acting serious?

...man, links are really not obvious in the comment CSS.

Have You Ever - The Offspring (Lyrics)
Have you ever walked through a room
But it was more like the room passed around you
Like there was a leash around your neck that pulled you through

Have you ever been at some place
Recognizing everybody's face
Until you realized that there was no one there you knew
Well I know

[…]

When the truth walks away, everybody stays
Cause the truth about the world is that crime does pay

So if you walk away
Who is gonna stay
Cause I'd like to make the world be a better place

Subterranean Homesick Alien - Radiohead (Lyrics)
The breath of the morning
I keep forgetting the smell of the warm summer air
I live in a town where you can't smell a thing
You watch your feet for cracks in the pavement

High up above aliens hover
Making home movies for the folks back home
Of all these weird creatures who lock up their spirits
Drill holes in themselves and live for their secrets

I swear I started out looking for happy songs. I did. Really I did.

Dissolved Girl - Massive Attack (Lyrics)
I've been here before
You're not my saviour
But I still don't go

Feels like something
That I've done before
I could fake it
But I'd still want more…
