Many of the songs I like are obscure and lo-fi and can be hard to sing along to without
any lyrics being provided, so I typed these out as best I could.
There are probably many, many errors, and some parts I struggled to decipher.
If you have better interpretations I'm all ears. (Click titles to expand.)

The Carousel - Handmedown Green (listen)
I keep evey (ribbon?) in every box
Keep broken watches and keys without locks
Keep buttons and (braids?) from old handmedowns
But I shed my tears all over town

I have boots for all weathers with buttons and bows
?????? to my elbows and coats to my toes
I have hats and old (covers?) all hanging round
But I'll wear my sorrow when I ride to town

But I'll wear my sorrow until the day comes when my true love returns and gathers the sun
And I wept my tears near, far and wide, and bring him back home in my heart to reside
(In my heart to reside)

One is for sorrow, two is for love, and three is for the one you're thinking of
One is for sorrow, two is for love, and three is for the one you can never have

Hunky Dory - Tomorrow (listen)
you know, you shouldn't worry cause there'll always be tomorrow
but then tomorrow sometimes never comes
but maybe in the morning you'll forget your sorrows
and come tomorrow your work is done

in the morning you'll be yawning in the cold of the day
but just a smile can chase your blues away
in the morning you'll be yawning in the cold of the day
but just a smile can chase your blues away

you feel you've got no worries but the worlds upon your shoulders
and the world is getting colder with every day

in the morning you'll be yawning in the cold of the day
but just a smile can chase your blues away





Hunky Dory - We've Got Each Other (listen)
no way of knowing, which way it's going
i'm fighting hard to survive
don't think me hateful, i'm not ungrateful
i'm happy just to be alive

and we'll get high, simply being with you
and all we gotta do is help each other through
and maybe every wrong will be right
we got each other tonight

we'll share the blue skies, we'll share the sunrise
we'll touch the dawn of the day
and in the evening, don't think of leaving
don't go turning away

and i'll get high, simply being with you
and all we gotta do is help each other through
and maybe every wrong will be right
we got each other tonight

a time for loving, a time for crying
a time to live and to die
a time together, we'll share forever
there'll be no tears of goodbye

and we'll get high, simply being with you
and all we gotta do is help each other through
and maybe every wrong will be right
we got each other tonight
we got each other tonight
we got each other tonight
we got each other tonight



Hunky Dory - It's Love (listen)
when it's ??? that time of day
when the blues won't go away
when every breath is just another sigh

try to raise a smile
every once in a while
it's getting hard to make your day go by

it's laugher, it's tears
it's any way you want it, and
it's frayed and it's thin
put any label on it, it's love
it's love

when you walk along the street
and turn away from friends you meet
and just want to crawl away and hide
i know what you can do
there's only one way to
just learn to take it in your stride

it's laugher, it's tears
it's any way you want it, and
it's frayed and it's thin
put any label on it, it's love
it's love (x2)

starry cat - untitled (5:30 am) (listen)
in your kitchen, by the sink
running my hands under water
outside the slowly building hum, turns all the lights off one by one

no more shadows on your face
and i can barely place you in the room
and no more trains go by, you put your mouth on mine

julia brown - tears (listen)
tears of joy run down my face
i know that i must go
i hear a voice calling my name
coming to carry me home

this life was long, this life was tough
i lost the ones i love
i never thought i'd be good enough
to see heaven above

but now tears fall down my eyes
i no longer feel alone
a hear a voice saying don't cry
i've come to carry you home

Rocketship - Unfelt (listen)
You were in my favourite band

tried to come clean but you didn't understand
that I've been here too long, but I get along
if I love anything, I love you here, inside my self-made purgatory

try not to breathe this dark atmosphere
it will conform your lungs to a pile of wet concrete

I don't feel the need to eat
I don't feel the need to eat
I don't feel the need to eat
I don't feel the need to be here

blank eyes gone light
hidden behind their fear
love tries to remind us

to breath this dark air
to breath this dark air
i don't care


Rocketship - Naomi and Me (listen)
You were in my favourite band

and our [heartbells ring?]
To love you, to love you


Rocketship - People I Know (listen)
People I know
Are happier alone

They talk about how much it costs
To talk about how much was lost

People I know
Wear smiles when they're low

And talk about the days gone by
And all the ends they left untied

La, la, la...

Operation Sodasteal - The Flies (MV) (listen)
The wanting, the wanting, the wanting
I'm captured, I am destroyed I am nothing of use
The desire is palpable and putrid
It is poignant, disgusting as you walk into public restrooms
You call yourself for a good time
The wanting creates new weakness
There is nobody in your house
There is nobody outside waiting to love your corpse, like me
I will become your wanting
Wanting will become me
Look at me, I am your wanting
Your corpse will decorate the soil
A siren figure (head of the Earth?) [vessel]
My corpse will litter the ground like the trash, the (???) that litters it now [vessel]
Your wanting is me until I become the flies wanting
The flies
The flies
The flies (vessel)

Current 93 - Imperium V (listen)
the lord is my shepherd, i shall not want
the lord is my shepherd

to every thing there is a season
and a time to every purpose
and to the heavens
when first we enter into this life
then what?

some die when they are in the womb
and some die as they are born
and some die as they learn to crawl
and some die as they learn to walk
some die in these ways
some die, some die

lives are obliterated so soon
our lives are like words
written with a stick in the water
as all ripe fruit always falls and rots
so are we all by our deaths destroyed

behind me, the wind calls, imperium
oh, oh, imperium, it comes
imperium, behind me, the shadow, the shadow falls, imperium
behind me, the shadow, the shadow, imperium

a time to be born, and a time to die
a time to laugh, a time to weep
a time to sow, a time to rend, a time to build up, a time to destroy
a time to sow and a time to reap

oh, oh, mother mother mother, imperium
at the back of us, destiny, imperium
imperium, imperium, imperium, imperium
behind us, falls the shadowm imperium
my heart, imperium, imperium
my god! left alone, left alone
oh imperium, behind every one of you, the shadow falls
the shadow falls behind us all. imperium

a time to reap, a time to sow
a time to kill, a time to live, a time to slay
a time to collect and a time to gather
imperium for every one
and each of us behind our backs

five times this is the end
it comes on the winds, silver gold and bloody tarred
on the winds it comes, and whispers imperium
whispering imperium for every one of us
the gate shall open and close
and behind us, imperium

Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh,
when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them; While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars,
be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain: In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble,
and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out
of the windows be darkened, And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low,
and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low; Also when
they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish,
and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners
go about the streets: Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken
at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the
spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

Super Famicom - Growing Up (listen)

i always thought our love would last
but in the end it came to past

i'm growing up and waking up
i know it's never coming back
i'm growing up and waking up
i know it's never coming back

the dreams i had will not come true
and all of them included you
i felt so empty for so long

sentimental feelings come back and they are the same
as they were when i was younger, when this was a game
when they were new, when they were new

it's still not fair

Rocketship - No More Tomorrows (listen)
They laughed, uncouth and unkind
Some mended in ruin, some rich drunk on wine
Threadbare stockings and threadbare dreams
You've got your medicine it seems
But I've got no more tomorrows, see the sun rise

It's hard, that's what the old songs day
How love can last a lifetime, or only for a day
Tattered fringes and shattered hope, you've got your friends to help you cope
But I've got no more tomorrows, see the sun rise
See the sun rise

You'll catch a cold, mother, dressed such out of doors
I hear the whistle cross the moors
You've got tears in your eyes, reflecting the sunrise
But I've got no more tomorrows, no more tomorrows, no more tomorrows, no more tomorrows...

catface - Adelais and the Shadow Creature (listen)
(nwot rednow a si ytic ruoy)
you see, there was this one catgirl in the neighborhood named adelais, sweet and pure
one day she decided to head out into the forest over there and that's when she met the shadow creature
the creature said

heyo, adelais ????????????????????????
if you want to say the word i'll transform you into the creature of your dreams
DON'T GO ADELAIS!!!!

don't go adelais, save yourself from [this?], you know that this creature's intent
please we're begging you, if you are this way, you could easily wind up dead

despite the voices inside her telling her no, she took the shadow creature's offer and waited
suddenly her mouth was torn open as the darkness overtook her, her flesh twisting until it was totally unrecognizable
the mind, once protected from such evils ????? and madness, as millions of eyeballs targeted her beloved neighborhood
the shadow creature tore through the town, destroying the loves of friends, a sad result very disheartening

it got so bad that local priests had to be called, and after hours and hours of torment, adelais, once sweet and pure, was no more

through with adelais
???????????????????
had she stayed away
things would be different
it was not to be
now she's gone and dead

and so the lesson for today dear listener is, stay away from demonic temptation
(your city is a wonder town)

Airport Girl - Glitterball (listen)
you look beautiful to me, you're the fairy on my tree
silver glitter showers down on me
i'm afraid i am alone, i've got nowhere else to go
i'm in a plastic dome with plastic snow

i'm tied up with silver thread, just a bauble for my head
crystal snowdrops float around, i don't hear a single sound
twinkle twinkle little star, how i wonder what you are
magical to me

i'm afraid i am alone, i've got nowhere left to go
i'm in a plastic dome with plastic snow

Renard - Love Song (listen)

someday I'll be there with you
someday you'll be here with me
someday I'll be there with you

emily bewley - mallory weiss (listen)
collapsing lungs
cuts on my tongue
pushing my knees onto tile again
hearts rapid beating
patterns within me
this is a game you can't win

a starving body means a starving head
and ignorance is bliss, they always said
i've accepted my place as an ornament

hair in the drain, acidic teeth
i'm at the mercy of you(?)
twenty years of trying not to break
trying a little less as of late

collapsing lungs
cuts on my tongue
crushed velvet angels will come take me home
