[In progress. Now featuring music Bonny herself would not be caught dead listening to! You know, insofar as dead people can listen to music.]
GROWINGUP
Eels - Bus Stop BoxerI don't miss where I came from,
but each night I dream
about being back home.
Carbon Leaf - Texas StarsHow quickly dreams rearrange
when constellations are at war.
Hey lone star, it's all right.
Did you look up to find
you were left behind?
Did your heroes and stars fade out?
Dirty Pretty Things - You Fucking Love ItShe could never ever ever ever ever
ever ever get it into her thick head.
So when pretending ends
she'll have scattered her friends
and she’ll find she’ll wake up dead.CADETSERGE
Angel City - Shadow BoxerWatch out when you're all alone,
locked inside your safety zone:
you might find that you have turned
to stone.
Shadow boxer, shadow boxer
Shadow boxer, shadow boxer
You ain't nothin' but a shadow boxer.
The Hours - Ali In The JungleEverybody gets knocked down.
How quick are you gonna get up?
Just how are you gonna get up?
Like Ali in the jungle,
like Nelson in jail,
like Simpson on the mountain.
Well with odds like that,
they were bound to fail.
Pop Levi - Pick Me Up UppercutI need a pick me up,
pick me up, pick me up.
(You need a pick me up!)
Uppercut, uppercut, uppercut.
(You need an uppercut!)CAPTAINSERGE
They Might Be Giants - Cap'mLook me over, I'm the Cap'm.
You say it's such a joke
but I don't see you laughing.
Ben Folds Five - Boxing My intention's become
not to lose what I've won.
Ambition has given way to desperation,
and I lost the fight for my eyes.
Lacuna Coil - I'm Not AfraidWatch your back because I am coming closer,
shivers down your spine:
you were not expecting me.
How does it feel to be faced in your territory?
Are you afraid to see me here?FUCKIN'MEN
Joan Jett - Love Stinks I don't care
what any Casanova thinks.
All I can say is:
love stinks.
Love stinks, love stinks (yeah yeah).
Love stinks, love stinks (yeah yeah).
AGYG - Anything You Can Do(Anything you can say, I can say softer.)
I can say anything softer than you.
(No, you can't.)
Yes, I can.

Yes, I can.
(No, you can't.)
Yes I can, YES I CAAAAN!
Martha Wainwright - Bloody
Motherfucking AssholeOh I wish I wish I wish I was born a man,
so I could learn how to stand up for myself
like those guys with guitars
I've been watching in bars
who've been stamping their feet
to a different beat.
I will not pretend; I will not put on a smile.SIXFINGERSMIKE
Anouk - Nobody's WifeIt's too bad, but hey, that's me.
What goes around comes around, and you'll see
that I can carry the burden of pain.
'Cause it ain't the first time that a man goes insane
when I spread my wings to embrace him for life.
I'm suckin' out his love. I'll never be nobody's wife.
Cake - Daria When you tried to kiss me,
I only bit your tongue.
When you tried to get me together,
I only came undone.
Dresden Dolls - Good DayI picked up the pieces
of my broken ego.
I have finally made my peace
as far as you and me go,
but I'd love to have you up
to see the place.
I'd like to do more than survive,
I'd like to rub it in your face!
CASSIDY
Anika Moa - In The MorningBleed, bleed, bleed, bleed, that’s all I ever do.
A built-in sun room for everyone to frame.
I’m so lucky to have a great career,
but after all the fuss I just wanted to have you.
All I ever wanted was to be near a face
in the morning, in the morning.
After the operation my heart will become erased,
and I will miss you, I will miss you.
Richard Sleigh - Somewhere
Over The Rainbow[Harmonica solo.]
Lucie Idlout - For You (Track 3)
When you're tired and feeling down,
when you've lost the will to go on,
I won't be there for you.
When the night has brought you to mourn
and you curse the day you were born,
I won't be there for you.
Not for the stars in the sky,
not for the tears in your eyes,
not for a comforting moment,
not a second.
I won't be there for you.
ARLAGONZALEZ
Luise Pop - Feminist TerroristsThey may not be pretty.
They may not be smart.
But they've got guns, yeah,
and that's a start.
Kings of Convenience - MisreadA friend is not a means
you utilize to get somewhere.
Somehow I didn't notice
friendship is an end.
What do you know?
It happened again.
Wilco - SolitaireOnce I thought without a doubt
I had it all figured out:
universe with hands unseen,
I was cold as gasoline.
Took too long to see
I was wrong to believe in me
only.
PROGRESSION
The Temper Trap - Soldier OnSoldier on, soldier on.
Keep your heart close to the ground.
Don't think about it at all.
Just keep your head low.
Don't think about it at all.
Ani DiFranco - Anticipate'Cause someone you don't know
is someone you don't know.
Get a firm grip, girl,
before you let go.
For every hand extended
another lies in wait.
Keep your eye on that one.
Anticipate.
Eagles - DesperadoDesperado, why don't you come
to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences
for so long now.
Oh, you're a hard one,
I know that you got your reasons.
These things that are pleasin' you
can hurt you somehow.
