Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds "Straight to You"

I know that many think Gail is a weak character, but I believe that if the series would have continued, she would have developed very much - in the end her love could have been Lucas' only salvation... And the sky will throw thunderbolts and sparks straight at you, but I'll come a-running - Straight to you.

All the towers of ivory are crumbling
And the swallows have sharpened their beaks
This is the time of our great undoing
This is the time that I'll come running

Straight to you for I am captured
Straight to you for I am captured one more time

Now the light in our window is fading
And the candle it gutters on the ledge
Well now sorrow it comes a-stealing
And I'll cry girl but I'll come a-running

Straight to you for I am captured
Straight to you for I am captured once again

Gone are the days of rainbows
And gone are the nights of a-swinging from the stars
For the sea will swallow up the mountains
And the sky will throw thunderbolts and sparks

Straight at you but I'll come a-running
Straight to you, yeah I'll come a-running one more time

Now heaven has denied us its kingdom
And the saints they're all drunk and howling at the moon
And the chariots of angels are colliding
Well I'll run baby but I'll come running

Straight to you for I am captured
Straight to you for I am captured one more time

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds "(Are You) The One That I've Been Waiting For?"

Are Lucas and Gail destined for each other? If so, did he know it even before she came to Trinity?

I felt you coming girl as you drew near
I knew you'd find me cause I longed you here
Are you my destiny, is this how you'll appear
Wrapped in a coat with the tears in your eyes
Well take that coat babe and throw it on the floor
Are you the one that I've been waiting for?

As you've been moving surely towards me
My soul has comforted and assured me
That in time my heart it will reward me
That all will be revealed
So I've sat and I've watched an ice-age thaw
Are you the one that I've been waiting for?

Out of sorrow entire worlds have been built
Out of longing great wonders have been willed
They're only little tears darlin' let them spill
And lay your head upon my shoulder
Outside my window the world has gone to war
Are you the one that I've been waiting for?

We will know won't we
Stars will explode in the sky
But they don't do they
Stars have their moment then they die

There's a man who spoke wonders though I never met him
He said 'He who seeks finds and who knocks will be let in'
I think of you in motion and just how close you are getting
And how every little thing anticipates you
All down my veins my heartstrings call
Are you the one that I've been waiting for?
Are you the one that I've been waiting for?

Doro "Unholy Love"

Finally, Gail admitted that she wants Lucas, but she still can't confess to herself that she loves him, who to her is evil incarnate.

Oh, you make it so easy when you're makin' it rough
You won't make no promises but you can't get enough
I feel like I'm standing in the headlight beam
You come on like thunder, I know what this means

It's unholy love
Oh can't you see
It's unholy love
You know it's killing me

The sting of confusion by the kiss from your lips
You don't make it painless and you don't make it quick
I'll hold on forever till I feel the sweet rose thorn
When you're holding me closer while you're breaking my heart

It's unholy love
Baby can't you see
It's unholy love
So good this cannot be
It's unholy love
Oh can't you see
It's unholy love
You know it's killing me

I feel like I'm standing in the headlight beam
You come on like thunder, I know what this means

It's unholy love
It's unholy love
You know it's killing me
Baby can't you see
It's unholy love
This hell is killing me

W.A.S.P. "Breathe"

Gails relationship with Lucas - this time from Lucas' point of view.

You don't have to hear my heart beat
All you need is to look into my eyes
And tell me I'm the one your heart needs
I'm the only one you run to in the night
Oh-let me, burn the words forever mine
Across your heart, across your mind

Take your hands and feel my heart beat
Come and let me feel it in your eyes
All you have to do is touch me
Oh-and lay your flame across my fire
Oh-let me spread your wings and come inside
And take your heart and make you mine

Come and lay down your heart on me
All that I wanna feel is
Breathe in me
Lay down your heart on me
Feel you inside of me
Breathe on me
Come and take me on, take me down
Oh, take me all, all the way
There's only one way
There's only one thing I need, all I need
Take me way down
Come and lay down on me

Come and lay down your heart on me...

Warlock "All Night"

Just ignore the line "I'm your witch queen", the rest is perfect!

Your evil eyes are cold as ice
Your face is so wild
(Just like the peak
of an eagle that cries)
I feel the danger
But I can't break loose
My heart is on fire
And every flame is called: you

Can you feel my love?
Can you feel my love?
You're gonna burn my heart
You're gonna burn my heart

Chorus:
Alrigth, all night, alright with you
Feel alright all night
Take me, take me, take me cruel

You are talking of the night
A demon ready to flight
I'm your witch queen
And through thunder and lightning we ride

I feel the danger
I can't break loose
You are the son of the devil
I am longing for you

Garbage "A Stroke of Luck"

Another song about Gail's feelings for Lucas. (Or as Samm said: "This song reminds me of her dilemma with Lucas" )

Hanging by threads of palest silver
I could have stayed that way forever
Bad blood and ghosts wrapped tight around me
Nothing could ever seem to touch me

I lose what I love most
Did you know I was lost until you found me?

A stroke of luck or a gift from God?
The hand of fate or devil's claws?
From below or saints above?
You came to me

Here comes the cold again
I feel it closing in
It's falling down and
All around me falling

You say that you'll be there to catch me
Or will you only try to trap me
These are the rules I make
Our chains were meant to break
You'll never change me

Here comes the cold again
I feel it closing in
You're falling down and
All around me falling

Stroke of luck or a gift from God?
Hand of fate or devil's claws?
From below or saints above?
You come to me now

Don't ask me why
Don't even try

A stroke of luck or a gift from God?
The hand of fate or devil's claws?
From below or saints above?
You came to me

Here comes the cold again
I feel it closing in
It's falling down and
All around me falling

Falling, falling
Falling, falling
Falling, falling

Melissa Etheridge "Let Me Go"

This song already begins very appropriately:

Am I the snake inside your garden
The sugar in your tea
The knock upon your backdoor
The twist that turns your key
Am I the sweat you feel on your head
The shadow on your face
The tune inside your head that put you here in the first place
Well I don't want to be
I don't want to be
I don't want to be your sweet temptation
I don't want to be your new sensation
It's just a delicate distraction
With just a hint of satisfaction
Look me in the eye and let me know
If you can't love me that let me go
Let me go
Let me go

Do you try to stay suspended
In your deepest fantasy
After night has ended
The scent of mystery
The power of suggestion
Tangles up your soul
A neutral state between love and hate
Is bound to take its toll
Well I don't think you know
I don't think you know
I don't think you know about the screaming
You don't understand the meaning
You could trade it in for laughter
To keep your happy ever after
Look me in the eye and let me know
If you can't love me then let me go
Let me go
Let me go

Baby in your ivory tower
Do you sleep tight dream fight
Baby does it wet your appetite
Maybe in your darkest hour
Am I the keeper of your beast
Well I don't want to be
I don't want to be
So let me go
Let me go

Tori Amos "Raspberry Swirl"

Citing Craig: "This half works for Gail and half for Lucas. [...] And I guess the boys line could apply either to Caleb or could be used by Lucas haters...although I don't think there are any in these parts..."

I am not your senorita
I am not from your tribe
in the garden I did no crime
I am not your senorita
I am not from your tribe
If you want inside her
well,
boy you better make her rasberry swirl
things are getting desperate
when all the boys can't be men
everybody knows
I'm her friend
everybody knows
I'm her man
I am not your senorita
I don't aim so high
in my heart I did no crime
if you want inside her
well,
boy you better make her rasberry swirl...
