lcd soundsystem - “losing my edge”

I used to work in the record store.
I had everything before anyone.
I was there in the Paradise Garage DJ booth with Larry Levan.
I was there in Jamaica during the great sound clashes.
I woke up naked on the beach in Ibiza in 1988.

But I’m losing my edge,
to better-looking people
with better ideas and more talent.

And they’re actually really, really nice.

I’m losing my edge.

bush - “insect skin”

iron lung, i know you well
deal with you like a bad spell
see the trail, moon burns
red stripe and vicadin

you were the only one, you were the censor
you’ll never people me, i’m not defenseless
in the afternoon as the light dims
build a life out of all of all this semtex
you’re the brightest one, you were the center
perfect opposite of of what you asked for

it’s not just one way
a negative factor
with all of these wasps out
i’d better take cover, better take cover

copper tongue, beam me up
lonely without my impediments
start to save what we used to steal
walking on, on gelatin

i never noticed you, you were the brightest one
you were wide of me, just like the english sun
you caught the light again in a perfect way
the biggest threat of all is in the alleyway
you’re the demon seed, you’re the factor
it feels better with a little bit of plaster

it’s not just one way
a negative factor
with all of these wasps out
i’d better take cover, better take cover
i’d better take cover

there’s all the pain in the way she talks
there’s all the pain in the way she walks
there’s all the pain in her wave goodbye
all the pain in the way she smiles
there’s all the pain in her fatal charm
all the pain in her arms, arms
in her arms, in her arms

atmosphere - yesterday

Yesterday —
Was that you? Looked just like you
Strange things my imagination might do
Take a breath, reflect on what we been through
Or am I just goin’ crazy ‘cause I miss you?

if you open up the doors,
you will see -
love in all it’s shining glory
