The old #6 in the first list was Seven Mary Three's Cumbersome. Booyah, I got it right.
1. All of the stars are fading away, just try not to worry, you'll see them someday.
2. If everything could ever be this real forever, if anything could ever be this good again.
3. America it's all so beautiful until it comes away.
4. Don't fall away, leave me to myself, don't fall away, leave my freedom in my hands.
5. it's our time to shine through the down glorified by what is ours
New #6. I'll sacrifice one moment for one truth.
7. I'll lay me down tonight much further down, swim in the calm tonight. This art does drown.
8. Well that's just fine that's just one of my names.
9. On the underground with the freaks and frowns, looking at the world through silver clouds.
10: I only beat you when I'm drunk, you're only pretty when you're crying.
The other list is still:
1. Favor headbands and cassettes, cigarettes, suffragettes, and boys
2. Past the shadows that fall down wherever we meet; pretty soon now, I won't come around
3. A war machine it springs to life, opens up one eager eye
4. Sun shines in the bedroom when we play, the rain it always starts when you go away
5. Do you went to work in Debenham's, because that's what they expect
Start in Lingerie, and Doris is your supervisor
6. Enchanted in the rapture of his sentimental sway
7. You had to sneak into my room 'just' to read my diary "it was just to see, just to see"
8. and if i smile please tell me some bad news before i laugh and act like a fool
9. I've got numbers beyond which you can dial
10. Said who is the man making diamonds out of coal
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.
