Violetta's Playlist


Sean
Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains) by Arcade Fire

And like a mirror, the city lights shine
They're screaming at us, "We don't need your kind"
Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small
That we can never get away from the sprawl

Cormac
Misty Morning, Albert Bridge by The Pogues

Turned to the wall
Pulled the sheets around my head
Tried to sleep, and dream my way
Back to you again

Michael
Darker With the Day by Nick Cave

And in my best shoes I started falling forward down the street
I stopped at a church and jostled through the crowd
And love followed just behind me, panting at my feet
As the steeple tore the stomach from a lonely little cloud

Finnbheara
Whiskey in The Jar by Thin Lizzy

As I was going over the Cork and Kerry mountains
I saw Captain Farrell and his money he was counting
I first produced my pistol and I then produced my rapier
I said stand or deliver or the devil he may take ya

Aoibheann
Pull Me Under by Queen Adreena

I'll play your game
Just pull me under
Just pull me under

And the silver sea
Rushing over me

Sreng
Honeymoon Croon by Bauhaus

Better fix her drink tonight
Bed time comes
Must blot out this urge to use my gun
Honeymoon tonight, croon croon tonight

Part I (Chapters 1-2)
Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in my Hand by Primitive Radio Gods

Am I alive or thoughts that drift away
Does summer come for everyone
Can humans do as prophets say
And if I die before I learn to speak
Can money pay for all the days I lived awake but half asleep

Part II (Chapters 3-10)
Some Kinda Love by The Velvet Underground

Between thought and expression there lies a lifetime
Situations arise because of the weather
And no kinds of love
Are better than others

Part III (Chapters 11-13)
Because You're Young by David Bowie

Because you're young - you'll meet a stranger some night
Because you're young - what could be nicer for you and it makes me sad
So I'll dance my life away
A million dreams, a million scars

Part IV (Chapters 14-19)
Blame and Demand by Damage Manual

We count for distance
From human nerves
We count for all the things we take
That we don't deserve

Part V (Chapters 20-23)
Blues from Down Here by TV on the Radio

Lessen your desire
Hold your breath so patiently
Never inquire how to be free
Just stay on your knees

Part VI (Chapters 24-25)
Take This Waltz by Leonard Cohen

And I'll dance with you in Vienna
I'll be wearing a river's disguise
The hyacinth wild on my shoulder
My mouth on the dew of your thighs
And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook
With the photographs there, and the moss
And I'll yield to the flood of your beauty
My cheap violin and my cross
And you'll carry me down on your dancing
To the pools that you lift on your wrist
Oh my love, oh my love
Take this waltz, take this waltz
It's yours now, it's all that there is
