{Playlist} Are You Nobody Too? - Julian Sark & Suzie Costello

[superiorspectre]

Take one consummate traitor, trying to find a way to redemption in the face of constant distrust and old habits which haven't quite died yet...

...and introduce him to Suzie.

They're best friends, occasional lovers, and may, in fact, secretly be the same person.


All About Us - t.A.T.u. (YouTube)

They say
They don't trust
You, me, we, us
So we'll fall
If we must
Cause it's you, me
And it's all about
It's all about

It's all about us (all about us)
It's all about
All about us (all about us)
There's a thing that they can't touch
'Cause ya know (ah ah)
It's all about us (all about us)

Believe - K's Choice (YouTube)

Bravely I look further than I see
Knowing things I know I cannot be, not now
I'm so aware of where I am, but I don't know where that is
And there's something right in front of me and I

Touch the fingers of my hand
And I wonder if it's me
[...]
Wait for me, I'm nothing on my own
I'm willing to go on, but not alone, not now
I'm so aware of everything, but nothing seems for real and
As long as you're in front of me then I'll

I watch the fingers of our hands
And I'm grateful that it's me
Holding on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on

Blood Sings - Alex Reed [Suzanne Vega cover] (YouTube)

One body split and passed along the line
From the shoulder to the hip
I know these bones as being mine
And the curving of the lip

And my question to you is:
How did this come to pass?
How did this one life fall so far and fast?

Some are lean and some with grace, and some without;
All tell the story that repeats
Of a child who had been left alone at birth
Left to fend and taught to fight

See his eyes and how they start with light
Getting colder as the pictures go

Crash Into Me - Dave Matthews Band (YouTube)

Who's got their claws
In you my friend?
Into your heart I'll beat again
Sweet like candy to my soul
Sweet you rock,
And sweet you roll
Lost for you, I'm so lost for you

Oh, and you come crash into me
And I come into you

Eclipsed - Evans Blue (YouTube)

We love our tragedies.
We're both broken in our own little ways
We're broken, but we fit together just right
You know I saw the black inside your eyes
I saw they were eclipsed by mine and they looked just right.

Good Enough - Sarah McLachlan (YouTube)

I never would have opened up
but you seemed so real to me
after all the bullshit I've heard
it's refreshing not to see
I don't have to pretend
she doesn't expect it from me

Happy Home - Garbage (YouTube)

In my happy home I barely breathe
In my lovers arms I find relief
And there's a sky that's changing and a bird that sings
I never once in my wayward life was heading to run out

In my lover's arms I wait for morning
I beg my god to speak and tear me apart
I'd lay down my body I'd lay down my arms
I never once in my sweet short life meant anybody harm

I See You, You See Me - The Magic Numbers (YouTube)

I often thought that you'd be better off left alone
Why throw a circle round a man with broken bones
But darling when I see you, I see me

Its alright I never thought I'd fall in love again
Its alright I look to you as my only friend

No Cheap Thrill - Suzanne Vega (YouTube)

Ante up. And don't be shy.
Who is that man who is catching my eye?
What's underneath all of the deadpan face?
Sitting so pretty with a criminal grace?
[...]
I'll see you, I'll call you, I'll raise you
But it's no cheap thrill
It will cost you, cost you, cost you
Anything you have to pay.

Ooh-Oh - Keri Noble (YouTube)

Wasn’t it the pain that brought us together?
Wasn’t it the heartache that brought me to you?
Wasn’t it the look that you saw in my eyes
That told you I knew what you’d been through?

Protect Me From What I Want - Placebo (YouTube)

Maybe we're victims of fate
Remember when we'd celebrate
We'd drink and get high until late
And now we're all alone

Wedding bells ain't gonna chime
With both of us guilty of crime
And both of us sentenced to time
And now we're all alone

Ribbons - The Sisters of Mercy (YouTube)

I'm lying on my back now
The stars look all too near
Flowers on the razor wire
I know you're here
We are few
And far between
I was thinking about her skin
Love is a many splintered thing
Don't be afraid now
Just walk on in
(Flowers on the razor wire)
(Walk on in)

Strange Wind - Poe (Lyrics)

Oh, I've got so much to tell you
I've been lonely, I've been wild
And when I see it in your eyes a wilder cry than even mine
I know something's hidden inside
Strange wind that cries
I hear you in my head
There it is again
That strange wind that cries
It breaks me up sometimes

Such Great Heights - Iron & Wine (YouTube)

I am thinking it's a sign
That the freckles in our eyes
Are mirror images and when we kiss
They're perfectly aligned
And I have to speculate
That God himself did make us
Into corresponding shapes
Like puzzle pieces from the day

The World Is Not Enough - Garbage (YouTube)

People like us
Know how to survive
There's no point in living
If you can't feel alive
We know when to kiss
And we know when to kill
If we can't have it all
Then nobody will
