Jenny Wilson - Let My Shoes Lead Me Forward
This is what they said

Tie my shoes and set my jacket
Lock the door and check my pockets
I'm leaving a light on just for the sign
It makes them think that I'm still around

Sold my bed no need to sleep these nights
The sky is perfectly brown instead of black
Let my shoes lead me forward...

It's okay
Come on
No time for education so let's roll
This turn
These rules
I'm gonna turn my back to everything I know

Pick up stones 'cause I don't need them
I'll throw them at you
Tried with books but I've no place in
(Come on read them to me)
Sold my bed no need to sleep these nights
Walking round since it doesn't matter

It's okay
Come on
No time for education so let's roll
This turn
These rules
I'm gonna turn my back to everything I know

This is what they said
Listen to them

It's okay
Come on
We'll do the things they'll never learn
It's okay
Come on
No time for education so let's roll


Timo Maas - First Day
I see you found my underground
Help yourself to guns and ammo
Nothing here has ever seen the light of day
I leave it in my head

It's the first day of the rest of your life
It's the first day of the rest of your life
It's the first day of the rest of your life
It's the first day of the rest of your life

You'll remember me, for the rest of your life
You'll remember me, for the rest of your life

Don't fuck it up


Head Automatica - Please Please Please (Young Hollywood)
You scream louder than fiction
And you get down on your knees
And tear open your heart
So I can love you and your disease

You lick the hand that feeds you
And kiss the blade that cuts
I wanna fuck you in your god's hands
When your praying bites the dust

Please please please please please please please please
Let me anoint the lust inside you
Please please please please please please please please
Let me devalue what's inside you

Hollywood at night
Hanging around
If this is a must
Then dying is a must right now
Hollywood at night
Hanging around
If this is a must
Then dying is a must right now

And I'll deny you
Fact or fiction, fact or fiction, fact or fiction
Its a mission to survive
And learn to want you
When I hate, when I hate
Whats all inside

Please please please please please please please please
Let me anoint the lust inside you
Please please please please please please please please
Let me devalue what's inside you

Hollywood at night
Hanging around
If this is a must
Then dying is a must right now
Hollywood at night
Hanging around
If this is a must
Then dying is a must right now


The Faint - Glass Danse
feel the vapour pressure drop as the dark
steam pours out the entrance. real cold world is
swirling into a club that keeps the real
life world out. where every sense seems deathly
weak from the frozen time you spent in transit.
the glass dance world flickers on and the
low end thaws your anxious body

maybe i feel detached, i may just look too shy,
it's a disinterest not that i'm a timid guy.
i call them bodies but, they are attentive too,
i feel the social glare i feel the attitude.

watch as mirrors clear themselves with the
breath of frigid air that eased in.
made up babies all rotate as a siren
spins a beam of amber. time sliced beat
by beat in a row, in a club.
in a line, in the city. the glass dance world
flickers on because the cycle happens enough:

a baby falls out warm, it's screaming for its life,
an infant tries to dance as it grows up then dies.
that's simplified but uh. . .when your complexion dries,
you wake up cold and think, you wish it'd been this way.


Depeche Mode - Lillian
Oh, Lillian
Look what you've done
You've stripped my heart
Ripped it apart
In the name of fun

Oh, Lillian
I'm a poor man's son
And precious jewels
Weren't found in schools
Where I came from

Pain and misery always hit the spot
Knowing you can't lose what you haven't got

Oh, Lillian
I should have run
I should have known
Each dress you own
Is a loaded gun

Oh, Lillian

Oh, Lillian
I need protection
I hear your voice
And any choice I had is gone

Oh, Lillian
Once I begun
I couldn't stop
'til every drop of blood was sung

Pain and misery always hit the spot
Knowing you can't lose what you haven't got

Oh, Lillian
Look what you've done
You stripped my heart
Ripped it apart
In the name of fun

Oh, Lillian


Tiga - You Gonna Want Me
Know you gonna want me

Baby, song for any season
I got so many reasons
You gonna wanna make it
Someday...

Some say:
''Boy, you're always teasin'...
I think you best be leavin'...
Why you gonna drive me crazy!''

I know
You gonna want me
But when you want me
It might be...
A different story

I know


Mylène Farmer - Je t'aime mélancolie (translating, badly)
I have an itch
To view life from my bed
Like an obsession
Every time they say to me
The wound is this:
Bad seeds grow too fast
That's why they're a nuisance
Then it occurs to me
To learn to pity myself

It's just my luck
I suffer low-key
I wait for my hurt
Her lips are so soft

I have an itch
To view life from my bed
Like an obsession
That haunts me at night
I savour the night
The idea of eternity
Bad seeds are a nuisance
Because they never die

When everything is grey
The hurt is my friend
A long acidic suicide
I love you, melancholy
Emotion that
Leads me to infinity
The worst mixed with my desire
I love you, melancholy

When everything is grey
The hurt is my friend
I have a humid soul
My entire being flounders
Oh come I beg of you
She's your friend too
The elixir of my delirium
I love you, melancholy

I have an itch
To see my life turned upside down
Everytime they say to me
That I'm a bad seed
And I say:
A born savage
Is worth taking into account
After all she often thumbs her nose
At the over-cultivated, and there!

It's just my luck
I suffer low-key
I wait for my hurt
Her lips are so soft

I have a concept
Of morality
Like a sad idea
That never dies
To sum up like this:
To please the envious
One must be ignored
But then, but then, when you get down to it
Isn't God the one who ditched me cold?


Madonna - Hung Up
Time goes by so slowly

Every little thing that you say or do
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call
Baby night and day
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you

Time goes by so slowly for those who wait
No time to hesitate
Those who run seem to have all the fun
I'm caught up
I don't know what to do

Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
I don't know what to do

Every little thing that you say or do
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call
Baby night and day
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you

Every little thing that you say or do
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you

Waiting for your call
Baby night and day
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you

Ring ring ring goes the telephone
The lights are on but there's no-one home
Tick tick tock it's a quarter to two
And I'm done
I'm hanging up on you

I can't keep on waiting for you
I know that you're still hesitating
Don't cry for me
'cause I'll find my way
you'll wake up one day
but it'll be too late


Mekon - Please Stay
I call out your name

Don't go
Don't go
Don't go
Don't go

If I call out your name like a prayer
Would you leave me alone in my fear...
...I need you so, please stay


Goldfrapp - Lovely 2 C U
A wonderful place to be
The birds are singing
The dreams that are sent to me
Everyone's waving

But there's no noises
The smell of your skin
The glittering lights of Hell
I'm missing sin

La Lovely 2 See U
La Lovely 2 See U

I wanna get out of here
Inhale your sky
A beautiful place to be
So I don't know why
They're selling us something
I don't need
They're selling us something, babe
You shouldn't believe



Can't find lyrics for the Jenny Wilson, oh well. (EDIT -- I transcribed it? Best as I could. XD) ...Dear saints I am missing Casey Spooner, how can this be. XD XD XD XD

Downloaded while doing takehome; got 2/3 through listening on the bus this morning before iPod battery crapped out. D: What I've heard so far is charmingly caustic, and destructive of self & others--what's not to love?!

Maybe Richard could keep him from ODing but I'm still not sure what Richard would be w/o the sword. Other than naked.

[tongari.livejournal.com]

snagging the music, thank you!

ahaha this is an appropriate Alec mix. <333 (who is purple? xD)

[petronia.livejournal.com]

Yumichika. ...No, I'm joking. Actually it's just the colour that flashes behind my eyelids when I listen to the music, if I ever find "purple" I'll let you know. XD

It's usually based around a concept phrase, though. This one was "cocaine and velvet". Ishida Uryuu's is "back to Cinderella's (music for the girl who leaves at midnight)".

[two-if-by-sea.livejournal.com]

but I'm still not sure what Richard would be w/o the sword. Other than naked.

...that is one of the best things I have ever heard anyone ever say.

[petronia.livejournal.com]

Richard would have to be a mob assassin and secret CIA agent or something. ^^; But there you have another reason why it both works and doesn't - it makes it all very L.A. sleazy. (Actually Ellen Kushner is simply more convincing when she writes refinement than when she writes sleaze... I dunno, it's late and I'm speaking off the top of my head at this point.)

A fantasy version of "floating world' Tokugawa Edo would allow for a more satisfactory mapping, to be honest. But then again if the idea is purely to send Richard and Alec off to Places they may as well be SPACE PIRATES. XD

[canis-m.livejournal.com]

You're right about the character mapping, of course. When I shrieked "DJ ALEC" I hadn't even considered an AU in logistical terms, my brain only got as far as "ahaha maybe someone will make a mix XD XD".

...They'd fit right in on Barrayar, come to think of it.

[insaneneko.livejournal.com]

I seem to be missing an important part of all this...is this a Swordspoint mix? An Alec mix? In any case, I love that book so I have downloaded it and look forward to listening to it. ^_^

[petronia.livejournal.com]

It's the Alec "DJ mix", yes. ^^
