your mind is restless 
they say you're getting better  
but you don't feel any better
 
your speakers are blowing  
your ears are wrecking  
your hearing damage  
you wish you felt better  
you wish you felt better
 
you can do no wrong 
in my eyes

(Thom Yorke - Hearing Damage)

I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
I do not think that they will sing to me.

T.S. Eliot

I need advice, I need advice
nobody ever looks at me twice

- The Smiths: Miserable Lie

She met a boy
who's words were like the waves
In came the tide
and she was swept away

Voltaire - Welcome To The World

Why does the sun go on shining
Why does the sea rush to shore
Don't they know it's the end of the world
'Cause you don't love me any more

Why do the birds go on singing
Why do the stars glow above
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when I lost your love

I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand, no, I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does

Why does my heart go on beating
Why do these eyes of mine cry
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye

Skeeter Davis: The End Of The World

oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
and as I climb into an empty bed
oh well, enough said
I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go, oh

oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
see, the sea wants to take me
the knife wants to slit me
do you think you can help me? 

I know it's over
and it never really began
but in my heart it was so real
and you even spoke to me, and said:
"if you're so funny
then why are you on your own tonight?
and if you're so clever
then why are you on your own tonight?"

love is natural and real
but not for you, my love
not tonight, my love

- The Smiths: I Know It's Over

En tunne ma muita, en itseäin.
Miten outojen joukkoon ma jouduinkin näin?
Toki jossakin muualla parempi ois?
Kun huoata vois
tai nukkua, nukkua nuorena pois!

Oi, vieraita oomme me ihmiset
kuin eri tähdillä syntynehet,
kuka kotoisin kuuhuen helmasta on,
kuka auringon,
kuka aivan, aivan on koditon.

Minä lapsonen koditon laaksoissa maan,
minä hankia hiihdän ja harhailen vaan,
minä sydäntä etsin, mi sylkähtäis,
joka luokseni jäis,
yö vaikka mun ympäri hämärtäis.

Minä etsin suojoa itseltäin
ja omilta hulluilta mietteiltäin;
mua pelottaa nämä ihmiset,
nämä katsehet,
mut enin mun syömeni syvyydet.

Eino Leino: Mua pelottaa
