somebody got murdered

Somebody got murdered on New Year's Eve
Somebody said dignity was the first to leave
I went into the city, went into the town
Went into the land of the midnight sun

Searchin' high, searchin' low
Searchin' everywhere I know
Askin' the cops wherever I go
Have you seen dignity?
(Bob Dylan, "Dignity")

wheels

I was born here and I'll die here against my will
I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
(...)
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.
(Bob Dylan, "Not Dark Yet", 1997)

the long way

Well, I stumbled in the darkness
I'm lost and alone
Though I said I'd go before us
And show the way back home
Is there a light up ahead
I can't hold onto very long
Forgive me pretty baby but I always take the long way home
(Norah Jones, "The Long Way Home", 2004)

underground sunbeams

Jesus don't want me for a sunbeam.
'Cause sunbeams are not made like me.
Don't expect me to cry for all the reasons you had to die.
Don't ever ask your love of me.
(The Vaselines, "Jesus Doesn't Want Me For A Sunbeam", 1992)

creepy as an empty parking lot

I see you falling
How long to go till you hit the ground
You keep on screaming
Don't you see me hear
Am I a ghost to you?
Now your grips to strong
Can't catch love with a net or a gun
Gotta keep faith that your path will change
Gotta keep faith that your luck will change tomorrow
(James, "Tomorrow", 1997)

light curves

High up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
(Coldplay, "Fix You", 2005)

the fallen A

Oh darling, take a look at you and me
We both love our freedom and we'll always be
Two roads
(Chris Rea, "Two Roads")

behind your back

Frank Costello: When I was growing up, they would say
you could become cops or criminals.
But what I'm saying is this.
When you're facing a loaded gun, what's the difference?
(Martin Scorsese, "The Departed", 2006)

spinning love

I tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to
Hand in hand like lovers are supposed to
(Dire Straits, "Hand in Hand", 1980)

the Duke

Have I got the strength to ask
Beyond the window
I feel this fear alone
Until we have
Total honesty
If I tremble or fall
I'm reaching out in this mourning air.
(Portishead, "Mourning Air", 1997)

slide away

I'm going to make a lot of money
Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
(Joni Mitchell, "River", 1971)

cab driver

Mr. Cab Driver won't you stop to let me in
Mr. Cab Driver don't you like my kind of skin
Mr. Cab Driver you're never gonna win
(Lenny Kravitz, "Mr. Cab Driver", 1990)

keep your eyes on the road

The future's uncertain,
and the end is always near
(The Doors, "Roadhouse Blues", 1970)
