An American Dream
Love and Rockets

I was dreaming in my sleep
Saw through you all
was dreaming still on my feet

These birds can't fly away

Saw through you all
saw what you could be
you just don't feel free

Feeling so high & low
It's the American dream

Skin Deep
The Stranglers

Many people tell you that they're your friend

Make sure that you're receiving the signals they send

'Cause brother, you've only got two hands to lend

Brother, you better watch out for the skin deep

Subterranean Homesick Alien
Radiohead

The breath of the morning
keep forgetting
The smell of the warm summer
air
Up above
Aliens hover
Making home movies
Of all these weird creatures
They're all uptight
Uptight
wish they'd swoop down
a country lane

My Valuable Hunting Knife

She will shine like a new girl
I want to shout out our love to the world

Everything I talk about I talk about with you

It will not rust through the tears

When I Win the Lottery
CVB

I robbed a liquor store or two
I made myself at home a few
times

Borrow myself a car when I need it

When I win the lottery

Gonna donate half my money to the city
So they have to name a street a school or a park after me

I think I'm going back to California
Somewhere distant

Far away

I think I'll go back
I think I hear the whisper of my own best friend

Zero
Yeah Yeah Yeahs

You're a zero
What's your name? No one's gonna ask you
Better find out where they want you to go
Try and hit the spot, get to know it in the dark

Get to know it whether you're crying
crying
oh oh

Can you climb, climb
climb higher?

What Does Sex Mean to Me?
Human Sexual Response

See a couple walking hand in hand

Worried women switch from pills to diaphragms
What does sex mean to them?

So I ask what does sex mean to me
And what does sex mean to society

Set themselves out upon a plate
For him to choose

Pretty Persuasion
R.E.M.

In the light
Quite a scene there
It's what I want

Tried to wear that on your sleeve
It's all wrong

He's got pretty persuasion
She's got pretty persuasion

God damn, pure confusion
He's got pretty persuasion

Bad nights causing teenage blues
Get down ladies, you've got nothin' to lose

Hello world I'm your wild girl

Lively Arts
The Damned

Those lively arts are on the slide
And culture's just a bore
When you're angry, young, and poor

And if I got my way
Those idle rich would pay
When the discussion starts

On the lively arts

On the tip of their tongue is the word that all along could turn around the way it'd fall

Don't worry, everybody's got an angel
Sooner or later somebody's gonna love you well

Fallen- fallen- now don't you worry

For everyone to have a share in this place?

How do we make sure we find a way for everyone to have a voice?
