ecstatic disaster - an atia/antony fanmix (x)
Perjury, perjury, in the high’st degree
Murder, stem murder, in the direst degree;
All several sins, all used in each degree,
Throng to the bar, crying all, Guilty! guilty!
I shall despair. There is no creature loves me;
And if I die, no soul shall pity me:
Nay, wherefore should they, since that I myself
Find in myself no pity to myself? (Richard III, V.iii)lover’s day - tv on the radio (sex)
oh but the longing is terrible//a wanton heart under attack//i wanna love you//all the way off//i wanna break your back//colour of all that’s hysterical//travels along your bones//just to be near you sucking your skin//not gonna leave you alone
evil and a heathen - franz ferdinand (they fit like puzzle pieces)
your teeth are black with wine//as you place those lips on mine//and the moon hangs heavy and forbidden high//on the night of our lives//i’m evil and a heathen//i’m evil and a heathen//i’m a heathen and evil like you//there’s not a lot//not a lot we couldn’t do
killer queen - queen (atia)
caviar and cigarettes//well versed in etiquette//extraordinarily nice//she’s a killer queen//gunpowder, gelatine//dynamite with a laser beam//guaranteed to blow your mind//anytime
the rake’s song - the decemberists (antony)
charlotte i buried after feeding her foxglove//dawn was easy, she was drowned in the bath//isaiah fought but was easily bested//burned his body for incurring my wrath//alright, alright, alright//and that’s how i came your humble narrator//to be living so easy and free//expect that you think that I should be haunted//but it never really bothers me//alright, alright, alright
put the law on you - natalie merchant (when they fight, atia)
though you made it clear from the very start//there was no trusting you with my foolish heart//though you maybe made it clear that didn’t make it right//do you really think you’ll get away?//you can’t escape my justice ‘til my dying day
lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes off - panic! at the disco (when they fight, antony)
i’ve got more wit, a better kiss, a hotter touch, a better fuck//than any boy you’ll ever meet, sweetie you had me//girl i was it, look past the sweat, a better love deserving of//exchanging body heat in the passenger seat?//no, no, no, you know it will always just be me
i declare a ceasefire - my latest novel (when they make up)
i declare a ceasefire, ‘cause otherwise i’d find it hard//in among the crossfire, where arrows simply pierce my heart//and puncture my desire to put aside the previous part//analyzing dialogue, an arsenal so lightly thrown
his fire - franz ferdinand (rekindling the affair)
eyes, burning a way through me//overwhelm, destroying so sweetly//now, there is a fire within me//a fire that burns//this fire is out of control//i’m going to burn this city
some unholy war - amy winehouse (political task force with feelings)
if my man was fighting//some unholy war//i would be behind him//straight shook up beside him//with strength he didn’t know//it’s you i’m fighting for//he can’t lose with me in tow//i refuse to let him go//at his side and drunk on pride//we wait for the blow
the howling - within temptation (death and destruction)
we’ve been seeing what you wanted, got us cornered right now//fallen asleep from our vanity, might cost us our lives//i hear they’re getting closer//their howls are sending chills down my spine//and time is running out now//they’re coming down the hills from behind//when we start killing//it’s all coming down right now//from the nightmare we’ve created//i want to be awakened somehow

count of casualty, a brutus playlist (requested by sharonalee)
Act 1.
Radiohead - Go To Sleep (Little Man Being Erased)
We don’t really want a monster taking over
Tip toeing, tying down
We don’t want the loonies takin’ over
Tip toeing, tying down our arms
May pretty horses
Come to you as you sleep
I’m gonna go to sleep
And let this wash over meMuse - Assassin
Wild and bereft
Assassin is born
Oppose and disagree
Destroy demonocracyPatrick Wolf - Count of Casualty
In this war without an end
What peace do you defend
In this war without an end
What fear do you depend on?Act 2.
Keane - A Bad Dream
I wake up, it’s a bad dream,
No one on my side,
I was fighting
But I just feel too tired
to be fighting,
guess I’m not the fighting kind.Poets of The Fall - Given and Denied
Give me back my innocence cos I wish to dream again
Like I never outgrew my old playground
Where the sun sets slowly with a golden crown and the leaves sing lullabies ‘round vacant swings
Give me those wings
Let me fly once again
Like I did way back when
I would gamble and win
To lift me high above the din
Of the future we see
Does it hold something for me
I’m weightless again
Just before the shadows…
FallEpilogue.
Blackfield - Cloudy Now
In a violent place we can call our country
Is a mixed up man and I guess that’s me
The sun’s in the sky but the storm never seems to end
It’s a place of sorrow but we call it a home
And the darkest thoughts, yeah I guess they’re my own
There’s wealth in the bank but there’s nothing to show inside
It’s cloudy now.(download)

Mark Antony playlist. (requested by warandtheory and kingslayin)
Introduction:
Patrick Wolf - Tristan
Working for joy
On overtime
Stuck on a line
Of misadventure
I fear no crime
Poets Of The Fall - Passion Colors EverythingI have a mind for simple things, but things are not of mind to simplify
There’s always some loophole technicality you buy into and pay until you die
Money doesn’t bring me joy, it’s more like a darling dead weight
And I seem to have lost my appetite, it’s underrated how we overrate
I dance entangled with my dear
She pulls my every string
Completely trapped yet never here
When passion colors everythingWar and Exile:
Kasabian - Underdog
Kill me if you dare […]
Depeche Mode - Surrender
Beckoned to my fate
I won’t face the consequence
I wouldn’t hesitate
I’m a man of flesh and bone
Rapture, rushing through my veins
Passion, flaming, in my heart
Heavenly surrender once againDeparture:
Nine Inch Nails - The Great Below
All the world has closed her eyes
Tired faith all worn and thin
For all we could have done
And all that could have been //
And I descend from grace
In arms of undertow
I will take my place
In the great below.
I can still feel you
Even so far awayEpilogue:
IAMX - Oh Beautiful Town
They chewed me up,they spat me out,
Of their system and onto their street,
And the rest of my life was a sprint to forget
All the greatness that could never be.(.ZIP)
