Oh they turned their heads embarassed Pretend that they don't see.."

[Peteinblack]

5. Comfortably numb - Sisters of Mercy (goth) version
(Heavier and doomer than PF version)

4. And the Band Played Walzing Matilda - The Pogues

"Then a big Turkish shell knocked me arse over tit
And when I woke up in my hospital bed
And saw what it had done, I wished I was dead
Never knew there were worse things than dying
For no more I'll go waltzing Matilda
All around the green bush far and near
For to hump tent and pegs, a man needs two legs
No more waltzing Matilda for me"

3. There is a Light That Never Goes Out - The Smiths

"And if a double-decker bus
Crashes in to us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well the pleasure, the privilege is mine"

2. One Hundred Years - The Cure

"It doesn't matter if we all die
Ambition in the back of a black car
Creeping up the stairs in the dark
Waiting for the death blow
We die one after the other
Over and over
We die one after the other after the other...

1. Wheels of Confusion - Black Sabbath

"So I found that life is just a game
But you know there's never been a winner
Try your hardest, just to be a loser
The world will still be turning when you're gone
Yeah when you're gone!"

Where are my razor blades...?

 

[Les Biehn]

Radiohead No Surprises

"A heart that's full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won't heal
You look so tired, unhappy
Bring down the government
They don't, they don't speak for us
I'll take the quiet life
A handshake of carbon monoxide"

The Cure Plainsong

"I think it's dark and it looks like rain"
You said
"And the wind is blowing like it's the end of the world"
You said
"And it's so cold
It's like the cold if you were dead"
And then you smiled
For a second

[Peter Grummit]

How Soon is Now? The Smiths

"You could meet somebody, who really loves you
So you go and you stand and on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home
And you cry and you want to die"

Malcolm Middleton: We're All Gonna Die

You're gonna die, you're gonna die, you're gonna die alone
All alone."
