Without You I'm Nothing (featuring David Bowie) by Placebo

Strange infatuation seems
To grace the evening tide
I'll take it by your side

Such imagination seems
To help the feeling slide
I'll take it by your side

Instant correlation sucks
And breeds a pack of lies
I'll take it by your side
Oversaturation curls
The skin and tans the hide
I'll take it by your side

tick - tock
tick - tock
tick - tock
tick - tick - tick
tick
tick - tock

I'm unclean, a libertine
And every time you vent your spleen,
I seem to lose the power of speech,
Your slipping slowly from my reach
You grow me like an evergreen,
You never see the lonely me at all

I...

Take the plan, spin it sideways

I...

Fall

Without you, I'm nothing
Without you, I'm nothing
Without you, I'm nothing

Take the plan, spin it sideways

Without you, I'm nothing at all

If I Was by Midge Ure

If I was
(if I was)
A better man
(a better man)
Would fellow men take me to their hearts
(would fellow men)
Take me to their hearts
If I was
(if I was)
A stronger man
(a stronger man)
Carrying the weight of popular demand
Tell me would that alarm her?
I'd never harm her
At all

If I was a soldier
Captive arms I'd lay before her
If I was a sailor
Seven oceans I'd sail to her

If I was
(if I was)
A wiser man
(a wiser man)
Would other men
(would other men)
Reach out and touch me?
If I was
(if I was)
A kinder man
( a kinder man)
Dishing up love for a hungry world
Tell me would that appease her?
I want to please her again

If I was a painter
I'd paint a world that couldn't taint her
If I was her leader
On food of love from above
I would feed her

If I was a poet
All my love and burning words
I would show it
If I was her lover
Her eyes in kisses I would cover

Come here my baby
Oh, they can't touch you now
I'll keep you safe and warm
I'll never leave you at all

Come here my baby
Oh, they won't touch you
Dishing up love for a hungry world
Tell me would that appease you?
I want to please you again

If I was a soldier
Captive arms I'd lay before her
If I was a sailor
Seven oceans I'd sail to her
If I was a painter
I'd paint a world that couldn't taint her
If I was her leader
On food of love from above I would feed her
If I was a poet
All my love and burning words
I would show it

We Are Each Other by The Beautiful South

There's no more little secrets
We haven't yet disclosed
We bore the living daylights
Of anyone too close
And all our cards at Christmas
Are written to us both
Count them up who's got the most?

Said we'd be close
Said we'd work perfectly
Said that we'd toast
Beautiful company

Closer than a sister
To her baby brother
Closer than a cat
To the child that she'll smother
It's too close for a lover
It's too close for a lover
We are each other
We are each other

We've been through all positions
And this one's definitely best
You move Middle East
And I'll move Wild West
What happened to our friendship
We could easily have guessed
Add it up
We're self-possessed

Said we'd be true
Said we'd be so so proud
Just me an you
We'd shout it out aloud

Closer than a sister
To her baby brother
Closer than a cat
To the child that she'll smother
It's too close for a lover
It's too close for a lover
We are each other
We are each other

Remember we went shopping
And we went by piggyback
I shaved all my legs
And you grew hairs upon your back
Well no-one's ever been since to this
Lover's shack
It's a cul-de-sac

Said we'd be close
Said we'd work perfectly
Said that we'd toast
Beautiful company

Said we'd be true
Said we'd be so so proud
Just me an you
We'd shout it out aloud

Closer than a sister
To her baby brother
Closer than a secret agent
Working under cover
It's too close for a lover
It's too close for a lover
We are each other
We are each other
We are each other
We are each other

Did I tell you how much I miss
Your sweet kiss?
Did I tell you I didn’t cry?
Well I lied
I la-la-la-la-lied
Over real over
When I nearly hit the face I loved
So tired of packaging the anger
Always
Pushin' you away

Did I tell you you’re wonderful?
I miss you
Yes I do
Did I tell you that I was wrong?
I was wrong
'Cause you’re wonderful, yeah

Did I tell you how much I miss
Your smile?
Did I tell you I was okay?
Well no way
No way-way-way

Over real over
When I nearly hit the face I loved
So tired of packaging the anger
Always
Pushin' you away

Did I tell you you’re wonderful?
I miss you
Yes I do
Did I tell you that I was wrong?
I was wrong
'Cause you’re wonderful, yeah-yeah

You’re wonderful yeah-yeah

Now-now-now each and every day
I realize the price I have to pay
You -
You’re wonderful
And now for your information
I’m walking around like an arm decoration
You -
You’re wonderful
So high I can’t get over it
So deep I can’t get under it
You (ooohh) -
You’re wonderful yeah
You’re wonderful yeah-yeah
You’re wonderful yeah-yeah
You’re wonderful yeah-yeah
Wonderful

Did I tell you you’re wonderful?
I miss you
Yes I do
Did I tell you that I was wrong?
I was wrong
For so long-long-long-long

Did I tell you you’re wonderful?
(do-do-do-do-do-do)
I miss you
Yes I do
Did I tell you that I was wrong?
(la la la la la la la la)
I was wrong
For so long-long-long-long

Did I tell you you’re wonderful?
(wonderful)
I miss you
Yes I do
Did I tell you that I was wrong?
I was wrong
For so long-long-long

Did I tell you you're wonderful?

Stars by Leiahdorus
[Another one I had to transcribe myself. I apologize for any errors, but it's the best I can do for now.]

The stars in the sky
Keeping things all bright
On an autumn night
I feel so calm tonight

A wind song fills the air
A harmony without care
Vanishing into the night
Oh, this sounds so right

Abandon the noise
Surrounded by warm
Blurring boundaries
Winding me in
Spinning me out
Right off into an void

The stars in your eyes
Keeping me alive
On a night like tonight
I feel so alive

The breeze throught the leaves
Keeping me at ease
On an autumn night
Oh this feels so right

Kaleidoscope skies
Mesmerize
Keeping our memories
Abandon the noise
Surrounded by warm
Blurring boundaries

The stars in the sky
Keeping all things bright
On an autumn night
I feel so calm tonight

The stars in your eyes
Keeping me alive
On a night like tonight
I feel so alive

Kaleidoscope skies
Keeping the knife
From the tips of memories
Abandon the noise
Surrounded by warm
Blurring boundaries

Dream With Me by T.O.Y.

Stars you try to catch
So close to the sky
Living near the edge
And never ask me why
Things are not the same
You´re in a shiny game
It feels like a fairytale
In this grim reality
(grim reality) (grim reality)
(grim reality)

Words you want to say
Standing in the pouring rain
Time just fades away
No more empty words to say
Things are not the same
And you feel the aching pain
It feels like the sweetest dream
But believe it's reality

You´ll be always at my side,
In my heart and in my mind
I will love you day and night
Dream with me

You´ll be always at my side,
In my heart and in my mind
I will love you day and night
Dream with me

Dreams you used to dream
Sleeping in your tester-bed
Exploring what they mean
Telling you stories so sad
Things are not the same
Looking to this strange game
Like a fantasy
Melting souls - just you and me

Things you liked to do
Running through a blooming field
Heaven on earth so blue
The sun is shining just for you
Things are not the same
And you feel a growing pain
Showing you my realm
We will stay here in this dream

You´ll be always at my side,
In my heart and in my mind
I will love you day and night
Dream with me

You´ll be always at my side,
In my heart and in my mind
I will love you day and night
Dream with me

You´ll be always at my side,
(You'll be always at my side)
You´ll be always at my side,
(You'll be always at my side)
You´ll be always at my side,
(You'll be always at my side)
You´ll be always at my side,
(You'll be always at my side)

If I Only Were A Goth by Thou Shalt Not
(to tune of "If I Only Had A Heart")

I'd be thinner, I'd be taller
Go clubbing in my collar
With skin pale as a moth
Dressed in black, I'd go creepin'
While the normal folk are sleepin'
If I only were a Goth
With my hair up, I'd look fancy
Like Siouxsie and the Banshees
With silk or velvet cloth
Dressed in boots, never sandals
And the room would be lit with candles
If I only were a Goth

Yes I'd wanna die
From the bottom of my heart impure
Would I like another clove? Well, sure
And after that, we'll go listen to The Cure

I'd pretend to be a vampire
Like in stories 'round the campfire
I'd suck your bloody froth
Yes the thing I'd be best at
Is impersonating Lestat
If I only were a Goth

In my casket purse I'm toutin'
Einsturzende Neubauten
And pagan hymns to Thoth
Yes the world would be depressing
Over death I'd be obsessing
And this corpse that I'm undressing
Would be sexier, I'm guessing
With my diet I'd get scurvy
And I'd worship Peter Murphy
If I only were a Goth

Johnsburg, Illinois by Tom Waits

She's my only true love
She's all that I think of
Look here in my wallet
That's her
She grew up on a farm there
There's a place on my arm
Where I've written her name
Next to mine
You see I just can't
Live without her
And I'm her only boy
And she grew up outside McHenry
In Johnsburg, Illinois
