Almost Blue
Everything But The Girl
From the album Baby, the Stars Shine Bright, 1986
(originally by Elvis Costello & The Attractions)
Almost blue
Almost doing things we used to do
There's a girl here and she's almost you
Almost all the things that your eyes once promised
I see in hers too
Now your eyes are red from crying
Almost blue
Flirting with this disaster became me
It named me as the fool who only aimed to be
Almost blue
It's almost touching it will almost do
There's a part of me that's always true...always
Not all good things come to an end now it is only a chosen few
I've seen such an unhappy couple
Almost me
Almost you
Almost blue

Now there's no one left to vote for
And there's very rarely been
No more voices of the people
Who are not of the machine
And the giant public monster
Gathering summer's silent scream
Swearing blind he's not been seen
Hiding bones that everyone sees
And everybody knows
That everybody goes
The revolution's always over
The apocalypse is now
All hands are on the keyboard
Hardly any on the plough
The new government's the old one
Same old handbags at the helm
Lapsing back into religion
Letting voices overwhelm
And everybody knows
That everybody goes
It got crazy on the front line
Manning barricades to wait
On the motherboards of freedom
For the hordes of solid state
Long before the menu
Was having problems with the date
And the mice became the men
Far too late
And everybody knows
That everybody goes
wolfman (benicio del toro)
Now my church is in the dungeon
Down the fourteenth corridor
Virtual guards surround me
With electronic walls
We're at the level of playstation
Where the rich become the poor
On their bended knees they're praying
For more, so much more ...
And everybody knows
That everybody goes
No there's no one left to vote for
Only fools to vote against
The refugees have all surrendered
The perimeter's been fenced
Six billion dreamers are all banged up
By the sacrament of dough
And the new religion
Of the W.T.O
And everybody knows
That everybody goes
I have given up the memory
Of my years of dreaming on
To be as silent as I'm angry
About this trip through Babylon
I feel the building of the final
Psyche of the snake
Make a killing every lunchtime
Sleep it off until I wake
And everybody knows
That everybody goes

Damaged
Primal Scream
From the album Screamadelica, 1991
David Pressell
Sweet summer days
When I was feeling so fine
Just you and me girl
Was a beautiful time
Oh yeah
Said I felt so happy
My my my
I was through with doubt and pain
All the love I felt hadn't been in vain
Got damaged
I got damaged
I got damaged
I lost myself in you
I'd wake up beside you
You'd hold me in your arms
Nothing and nobody's gonna do me
Any harm oh yeah
Said I felt so happy
My my my
And the way I felt inside
Made me feel so glad to be alive
Got damaged
I got damaged
I got damaged
I lost myself in you
Do do doo
I'd never felt so happy
Do do doo
I'd never felt so happy
Do do doo
I'd never felt so happy
I'll never feel that way again
No, no, no, no, no, no
My my my
People can be precious
But they ain't for keeping
I got too possessive
But souls ain't for stealing
You were my addiction
I got strung out and crazy
Hit me like a fever
When you left me baby
Stone, stone, stone in love with you
I was stone, stone, stone in love with you
I was stone, stone, stone in love with you
I was stone, stone, stone in love with you
