FST: without you here i'm viciously lonely
without you here I’m viciously lonely
1. Love Doesn’t Last Too Long--The Weepies
I didn't even have time to get it straight in my mind
To catch up from behind, to see that I was blind
And I wish I was wrong
But love doesn't last too long
2. For No One--The Beatles
And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years
3. Ruthless--Something Corporate
But there you go for the last time
I finally know now what I should have known then
That I could still be ruthless if you let me
4. Girl With One Eye--Florence & The Machine
I said ‘don’t worry, oh-oh
It’s not gonna hurt’
Oh my reputation’s kinda clouded with dirt
That’s why she sleeps with one eye open
5. Are We The Waiting--Green Day
Forget me nots and second thoughts live in isolation
Heads or tails and fairytales in my mind
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting unknown
The rage and love, the story of my life
6. Raining In Baltimore--Counting Crows
There's things I remember and things I forget
I miss you I guess that I should
Three thousand five hundred miles away
But what would you change if you could?
7. Suckerpunch--Refreshments
See Dick
See Jane
See how they both complain
See how they go round and round
Over nothin at all
8. When You Go--Jonathan Coulton
So fold my heart up small
Or break it into pieces
Find somewhere, and keep it there
Take it when you go.
9. Sraid an Chloig (Clock Street)--Solas
T'isn’t often I think of you these days
But today on your birthday
I miss the record of your voice
(This is an absolutely beautiful song sung in Irish Gaelic. I've included
the lyrics and a translation in the zip file)
10. Gloomy Sunday--Artie Shaw
Sunday is gloomy
My hours are slumberless
Dearest the shadows I live with are numberless
11. When it Goes Down--Something Corporate
And it sinks in
Through these holes in your old bed sheets
You might spend your life alone
And you don't want to be alone
12. The Boy’s Gone--Jason Mraz
Well I suppose we'll all make our judgement call
We'll walk it alone, stand up tall, then march to the fall
So we better be happy now that we'll all go home.
13. My Vampire Heart--Tom McRae
So I curse you
My vampire heart
For letting me love you
Love you
For letting me love you
