Thou shalt not...



Thou shalt not steal if there is direct victim.
Thou shalt not worship pop idols or follow lost prophets.
Thou shalt not take the names of Johnny Cash, Joe Strummer, Johnny Hartman, Desmond Decker, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix or Syd Barret in vain.
Thou shalt not think that any male over the age of 30 that plays with a child that is not their own is a peadophile… Some people are just nice.
Thou shalt not read NME.
Thall shalt not stop liking a band just because they’ve become popular.
Thou shalt not question Stephen Fry.
Thou shalt not judge a book by it’s cover.

Thou shalt not go into the woods with your boyfriend’s best friend, take drugs and cheat on him.
Thou shalt not fall in love so easily.
Thou shalt not use poetry, art or music to get into girls’ pants. Use it to get into their heads.
Thou shalt not watch Hollyoakes.
Thou shalt not attend an open mic and leave as soon as you're done just because you’ve finished your shitty little poem or song you self-righteous prick.
Thou shalt not return to the same club or bar week in, week out just ’cause you once saw a girl there that you fancied but you’re never gonna fucking talk to.

Thou shalt not put musicians and recording artists on ridiculous pedestals no matter how great they are or were.


The Beatles - Were just a band.

The next big thing - JUST A BAND.

Thou shalt give equal worth to tragedies that occur in non-English speaking countries as to those that occur in English speaking countries.
Thou shalt remember that guns, bitches and bling were never part of the four elements and never will be.


Thou shalt not make repetitive generic music

Thou shalt not make repetitive generic music

Thou shalt not make repetitive generic music

Thou shalt not make repetitive generic music

Thou shalt not pimp my ride.
Thou shalt not scream if you wanna go faster.
Thou shalt not move to the sound of the wickedness.
Thou shalt not make some noise for Detroit.
When I say “Hey” thou shalt not say “Ho”.
When I say “Hip” thou shalt not say “Hop”.
When I say "he say, she say, we say, make some noise" - kill me.
Thou shalt not quote me happy.
Thou shalt not shake it like a polaroid picture.
Thou shalt not wish your girlfriend was a freak like me.
Thou shalt spell the word “Pheonix” P-H-E-O-N-I-X not P-H-O-E-N-I-X, regardless of what the Oxford English Dictionary tells you.
Thou shalt not express your shock at the fact that Sharon got off with Bradley at the club last night by saying “Is it”.
Thou shalt think for yourselves.

And thou shalt always kill.

White Stripes - Conquest



And then in the strange where things happen
The roles were reversed from that day
The hunted became the huntress
The hunter became the prey!

Of Montreal - Heimdalsgate Like A Promethean Curse

Lcd Soundsystem - Someone Great



I wish that we could talk about it,
But there, that's the problem.
With someone new I could have started,
Too late, for beginnings.
The little things that made me harassed,
Are gone, in a moment.
I miss the way we used to argue,
Locked, in your basement.

I wake up and the phone is ringing,
Surprised, as it's early.
And that should be the perfect warning,
That something's, a problem.
To tell the truth I saw it coming,
The way, you were breathing.
But nothing can prepare you for it,
The voice, on the other, end.

The worst is all the lovely weather,
I'm sad, it's not raining.
The coffee isn't even bitter,
Because, what's the difference?
There's all the work that needs to be done,
It's late, for revision.
There's all the time and all the planning,
And songs, to be finished.

And it keeps coming,
And it keeps coming,
And it keeps coming,
Till the day it stops
(Repeat x3)
And it keeps coming,
(Repeat x7)
Till the day it stops.

I wish that we could talk about it,
But there, that's the problem.
With someone new I could have started,
Too late, for beginnings.
You're smaller than my wife imagined,
Surprised, you were human.
There shouldn't be this ring of silence,
But what, are the options?

When someone great is gone.
(Repeat x8)

We're safe, for the moment.
Saved,
For the moment.

Albert Hammond Jr. - Blue Skies



There are things I could've told you
There's a time and a place
Well my words would allow me
To say what I won't change

Don't let me know know as its happening
Ohhh
Dont let me know what you said
Ohhhhh

There are birds all around me
There were bats pressed to my face
And in time you will forget me
And I try and do the same

Don't let me know know as its happening
Ohhh
Dont let me know what you said
Ohhhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhhh

Its been years since I saw you
But each day I see your face

And in time you will remind me that I wish were the same
Don't let me know know as its happening
Ohhh
Dont let me know what you said
Ohhhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhhh

At The Drive In - One Armed Scissor

The Long Blondes - Giddy Stratospheres

Gogol Bordello - Not A Crime

She Wants Revenge - Someone Must Get Hurt

Este foi o único video que encontrei com esta música, por isso ouçam apenas...

Please don't touch me, I've come to far to let you bring me down
He's thinks that I'm easy but try as you might you can't have me now
These tedious dances we run through but I've memorized them now
I quietly melt down and consent to you if only just to bawl

As I stare through you and I stand quite still
And a alarm sounds just up the road
I can tell you'd like some company but I can't fix you and you don't want me

I call for the witness, present the facts right down to the little things
They say the heart is resilient, in black and white you swore there'd be no strings
I sneak out the back door, but the gavel strikes
And I can hear you cry, and the sound of my footsteps
This time they will be no long goodbye

As I stare through you and I stand quite still
And a alarm sounds just up the road
I can tell you'd like some sympathy but I can't fix you and you don't want me

How can I trust you? How could you need me now?
Its getting to be so cold,
The decision is in that I won't break
You cant even run with our lives at stake
Well, someone must get hurt and it won't be me
The decision is in there will be no fight
It might sound cold but I know its right
Cause someone must get hurt and it won't be me
