William S. Burroughs & REM "Star Me Kitten"

Imagine this song being played live at Alison'sbar, Ben's at the pool table...

Keys cut, three for the price of one.
Nothing's free but guaranteed for a lifetime's use.
I've changed the locks
and you can't have one.
You, you know the other two.

The brakes have worn so thin that you could hear,
I hear them screeching through the door from our driveway.
Hey love, look into your glovebox heart.
What is there for me inside? This love is tired.
I've changed the locks. Have I misplaced you?
Have we lost our minds?
Will this never end?
It could depend on your take.

You. Me. We used to be on fire.
If keys are all that stand between,
Can I throw in the ring?
No gasoline.
Just fuck me kitten.
You are wild and I'm in your possession.
Nothing's free so, fuck me kitten.
Just fuck me kitten.
You are wild and I'm in your possession.
I'm in your possesion.
So, fuck me kitten.

The Cult "Saints Are Down"

In Trinity, all Saints can't help you once you've earned Lucas' disgrace! (Unfortunately, some words are missing at the end, since they weren't printed in the CD-booklet and are barely intelligible.)

I'm so blind I cannot see
You're so warm to me
I'm not there
And you are here
Please take me

The saints are down
The saints are down
The saints are down
The saints are down

Life's so long or short should I say
I am here to get it on with you today!
Hey you should know that I love you more than I can say
Sometimes I fear all those things that come down on us anyway
But I gotta tell you that my

Saints are down
yeah my saints are down
Let me tell you why
Saints are down
The saints are down

Hey pretty girl what you got to say
Who's fucking life is it anyway
Don't you know a thing about anybody ever
You're so wrapped up in your tiny self

Saints are down, yes they are
Your saints are down
Your saints are down
Your saints are down

Down there down
And they're not coming round
Yeah they're not easily found
And they're buried in the ground
Yeah they're buried upside down

Saints are down (5x)
The Saints are down yes they are
Yes they are well
You'll never see them again, no
Yes they are, they're ??? something
They could tell no more
They have no more to say

It's always something stupid we have lost
In my life ???

The saints are down (5x)

Garbage "As Heaven is Wide"

Samm thinks that this just seems like a song that any visitor to Trinity might sing - especially if they're female.

Nothing that you say will release you
Nothing that you pray would forgive you
Nothing's what your words mean to me
Something that you did will destroy me
Something that you said will stay with me
Long after you're dead and gone

If flesh could crawl
My skin would fall
From off my bones
And run away from here

As far from God
As heaven is wide
As far from God
As angels can fly

If holy is as holy does
This house will burn straight down to hell
Take it's conscience with it
As it falls

Nothing said could change the fact
My trust was blind
You broke the pact
If God's my witness, God must be blind

If flesh could crawl
My skin would fall
From off my bones
And run away from here

As far from God
As heaven is wide
As far from God
As angels can fly

Blue Oyster Cult "(Don't fear) The Reaper"

All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain..we can be like they are
Come on baby...don't fear the reaper
Baby take my hand...don't fear the reaper
We'll be able to fly...don't fear the reaper
Baby I'm your man...

Valentine is done
Here but now they're gone
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity...Romeo and Juliet
40,000 men and women everyday...Like Romeo and Juliet
40,000 men and women everyday...Redefine happiness
Another 40,000 coming everyday...We can be like they are
Come on baby...don't fear the reaper
Baby take my hand...don't fear the reaper
We'll be able to fly...don't fear the reaper
Baby I'm your man...

Love of two is one
Here but now they're gone
Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew then disappeared
The curtains flew then he appeared...saying don't be afraid
Come on baby...and she had no fear
And she ran to him...then they started to fly
They looked backward and said goodby...she had become like they are
She had taken his hand...she had become like they are
Come on baby... don't fear the reaper
