game/jaunt soundtrack: Phase Three, part two

[leftbehindagain]

Recalibration

---

★ Odds Are - Barenaked Ladies
(sure, things go wrong
but I'll take my chances
odds are long, so why not play?)

★ POV Waltz - Harry Nilsson
(flying high up in the sky
I wonder why I have to have another
point of view to see me through)

★ Furr - Blitzen Trapper
(now my fur has turned to skin
and I've been quickly ushered in
to a world that I confess I do not know
but I still dream of running careless through the snow)

★ Mr. Spock - Nerf Herder
(Captain Kirk went to the planet
and there he fought the man-lizard
he saved the ship, invented the gunpowder
but that's just not good enough for you, is it?)

Elsewhere University

---

★ Mother Goose - Jethro Tull
(and a foreign student said to me
was it really true
there are elephants and lions too in Piccadilly Circus?)

★ Moonshadow - Cat Stevens
(and if I ever lose my eyes
if my colors all run dry
yes, if I ever lose my eyes away
I won't have to cry no more)

★ Fiery Crash - Andrew Bird
(oh, the line's starting to break up
just as you were starting to say
something apropos, I don't know)

★ Never Quite Free - Mountain Goats
(see the sunset turning red
let all be quiet in your head
and look about, all the stars are coming out
they shine like steel swords
wish me well where I go
but when you see me, you'll know)

Dawnbreak Boulevard

---

★ Celluloid Heroes - the Kinks
(I wish my life was a nonstop Hollywood movie show
a fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes
because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
and celluloid heroes never really die)

★ Celebrity - Barenaked Ladies
(I could disappear
into the great unknown
and it would wear my face
as if it were its own)

★ Baby Let's Swing/The Last Thing You Said/Don't Tie My Hands - Todd Rundgren
(everyone's heard of how you left me again
everyone's heard about my so-called friend
they tell me I'm a fool, but I don't hear a word
'cause the last thing you said was the last thing I heard)

★ Pompeii - Bastille
(great clouds roll over the hills
bringing darkness from above
but if you close your eyes
does it almost feel like nothing changed at all
and if you close your eyes
does it almost feel like you've been here before?)

Shinji's dungeon II

---

★ One Headlight - the Wallflowers
(this place is old, it feels just like a beat-up truck
I turn the engine but the engine doesn't turn
it smells of cheap wine and cigarettes
this place is always such a mess
sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn)

★ 21 Guns - American Idiot
(did you try to live on your own
when you burnt down your house and home
did you stand too close to the fire
like a liar looking for forgiveness
when it's time to live and let die
and you can't get another try
something inside this heart has died
you're in ruins)

★ With or Without You - U2
(my hands are tied, my body bruised
she got me with
nothing to win and nothing left lose)

★ Downfall - Matchbox 20
(I want you trouble me
I wanted you to linger
I want you to agree with me
I want so much, so bad)

Market of the Vanities

---

★ Heretics - Andrew Bird
(bored holes through our tongues
so sing a song about it
held our breath for too long
till we're half-sick about it
tell us what we did wrong
then you can blame us for it
turn the clamp on our thumbs
and sow a doubt about it)

★ Karn Evil 9 (1st Impression, Part 2) - Emerson, Lake & Palmer
(there behind the glass
stands a real blade of grass
be careful as you pass
move along, move along
come inside, the show's about to start
guaranteed to blow your head apart
rest assured you'll get your money's worth
greatest show in heaven, hell or earth)

★ Galileo - Indigo Girls
(I'm not making a joke
you know me, I take everything so seriously
if we wait for the time till our souls get it right
then at least I know there'll be no nuclear annihilation in my lifetime)

★ Paths of Desire - October Project
(I have traveled the paths of desire
following smoke and remembering fire
the night is falling, the path is receding
I don't need to see it to know where it's leading)

★ God Shuffled His Feet - Crash Test Dummies
(the people sat waiting
out on their blankets in the garden
but God said nothing
so someone asked him, beg your pardon
not quite clear, the language you just spoke
was that a parable or a very subtle joke?)

The Question of Albion

---

★ Cliffs of Dover - Eric Johnson
(instrumental)

★ Jerusalem - Emerson, Lake & Palmer
(I will not cease from mental fight
nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
till we have built Jerusalem
in England's green and pleasant land)

★ Pray Your Gods - Toad the Wet Sprocket
(I feel my body weakened by the years
as people turn to gods of cruel design
is it that they fear the pain of death
or could it be they fear the joy of life?)

★ Souverian - Andrew Bird
(though bells will ring
church steeples are catching fire
and if you promise spring
then I know you are a liar)
