I am a lost soul, I shoot myself with rock and roll
The hole I dig is bottomless, but nothing else can set me free

Welcome to a stream of consciouness description of my thoughts to NCAA Football 06 soundtrack (never heard it).

Train in Vain jumps out at me. Love that song. I need to listen to it now. Ok it's on. Yeeeeeeeaaaaaaaa

You say you stand...

Ok, where was I.

Atomic Garden. Have I heard that? It sounds super familiar.

Me myself & I by De La...Gold

Teenage FBI by GBV (for the home audience that's the author of the 'I am a lost soul...' lyrics above) ... cool song, I dig lo-fi DIY stuff like GBV

Oh hey, here's a spotify playlist with all the tracks.

Ok, I can't log in to spotify for some reason. No big.

Turns out Atomic Garden is early Bad Religion...neat. I like their Generator album, but that track doesn't jump out.

There's some NOFX, Lush, Superchunk, ... I'd probably like this soundtrack a lot.

...I loved the THPS 3 soundtrack...

"I remember how she held me oh so tight.
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then" - Bob Seger (Against The Wind)

"Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth.
You're an idiot, man. It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe." - Bob Dylan (Idiot Wind)

"It would take a strong, strong man to ever let you go." - Rick Astley (It Would Take A Strong Man)

"If you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow." - John Lennon (Revolution)

"If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?" - Bellamy Brothers

"The opposite of love's indifference" - Lumineers

"Dropping through sky, through the glass of the roof, through the roof of your mouth, through the mouth of your eye, through the eye of the needle... it's easier for me to get closer to heaven than to ever feel whole again." - The Cure

"Karma police, arrest this man...He talks in maths. He buzzes like a fridge, he's like a detuned radio. Karma police, arrest this girl, her Hitler hairdo is making me feel ill, and we have crashed her party." - Radiohead

Smile to the girl at the door
--Another-- 4 dollar whore
But don't look her in the eyes
She'll break your heart

A new glass here for this new friend of mine
Forgive me, I've forgot your name
Flip a coin
What shall we talk about
Heads I tell the truth
Tails I lie

"She's such a bad girl
She's like a chemical
Ooh, you try to stop it
She's like a narcotic
You want to talk to her
You want to talk to her
All the things you bought for her
Would not get her temperature." - Elvis Costello (Pump It Up)

"He's got a mind like a sewer and a heart like a fridge
He stands to be insulted and he pays for the privilege - Elvis Costello (Man Out Of Time)

"I used to be disgusted but now I try to be amused" - Elvis Costello (The Angels Wanna Wear My Red Shoes)

"They say you better listen to the voice of reason
But they don't give you any choice cuz they think that it's treason
You had better do what you are told..." - Elvis Costello (Radio Radio)

I wish you would

Come pick me up,
Take me out,
**** me up,
Steal my records,
Screw all my friends,
They're all full of shit,
With a smile on your face.
And then do it again

I wish you would

Well, this place is old, it feels just like a beat up truck
I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn
What smells of cheap wine, cigarettes
This place is always such a mess
Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn
I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else
Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same
But somewhere here in between the city walls of dying dreams
I think her death, it must be killing me
Hey, hey, hey

- AND -

The screen door slams, Mary's dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey, that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again, I just can't face myself alone again
Don't run back inside, darling, you know just what I'm here for
So you're scared and you're thinking that maybe we ain't that young anymore
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty but, hey, you're alright
Oh, and that's alright with me

This is an incredible song.

Murdered my throat, screaming bloody all night
Hit him with a book and how he crumbles
Oh you should have seen the arches tumble
They're golden no more
Now I'm smiling in my blood - Deer Tick

"As I inhale the cold air from the world's lung, I cast my being far away from me, In a crystal sphere on the ground I see my life, On my knees I kiss the death with all her beauty" - Evereve

"I've got something to say
I raped your mother today
Doesn't matter much to me, as long as she's spread!"

Border line
Dead inside
I don't mind
Falling to pieces
Count me in, violent
Let's begin feeding the sickness
How do I simplify?
Dislocate the enemy's on the way

Show me what it's like
To dream in black and white
So I can leave this world tonight

Unknown Soldier - Breaking Benjamin

If Cyrano de Bergerac
Fell prey to the blades of fifty men
With a heart and a sword he'd drive them back
Perchance to see Roxanne's eyes light up the sky again
And when beauty kind and full of grace
Again denied the beast her hand
The beast he turned and hid his face
And tried with all his might and magic to understand

And once upon a time
You know I used to wonder why
You know no one should need to cry
In pain of a heart forbade to fly
But you learn to say goodbye
As you whisper beneath a sigh

Sweet pain
Can't you plainly see?
Sweet pain
You know it matters to me
Sweet pain
Won't you make me feel at home?
Sweet pain
Don't you dare leave me alone

Sweet Pain - Blues Traveler
