Nightshifting it on the down-low

I've got a lovely evening of night shift ahead of me and the following are some of the many gems I'll be delighting my ears with for the duration of this long evening.

Yeah. Slow and nothing to fucking write about.


Simple Minds - Hypnotised

I can feel the whole world spinning around

I'm losing ground

I feel it every day

And I can feel you coming inside out

I'm losing touch with all reality

I remember the look in your eyes

The way that they pulled me inside

All I've got now in my defence is my innocence

I've been hypnotised



I can hear the church bells ringing out

Reminds me of some bright and sunshine day

When all the pretty horses you would ride

Would come right back to feel your energy



I still remember the look in your eyes

The way that they filled me inside

All I've got now in my defence

Is my innocence

I've been hypnotised



You know it won't be easy

It's never easy

I've been hypnotised

It won't be easy



If you've got a heart that burns inside

Let me get inside let me tangle with the flames

If you've got a light that burns inside

The heat will rise and melt down once again



I'm waiting for a sign, help me realign

Maybe it's a sin I know but it's not a crime

All I know, I've been hypnotised



Maybe there's a way I can find a way

Final hour Judgement day

All I know, I've been hypnotised



And then I realise

Katatonia - Clean Today

all the white lights falling

the blue lights are falling
night is warm
came down with a promise
I have my best shirt on
I lower myself now
it is a way to forget
of last year's failure

WILL THE STREETLIGHTS REFLECT ME WELL ENOUGH
AM I TRANSPARENT WHEN I AM CLEAN
WILL THE DARKNESS AROUND ME BE SO STRONG
THAT THERE IS NO WAY I CAN BE SEEN

boys will we become
heroes of this night
or am I just happy
whenever not sober
I cleaned myself well
clean today

and when I pause for a breath
I see millions like me

Katatonia - The Future of Speech


my prospects have become less promising
i find it hard to believe in anything
seems I lost my world and so I lost my faith
and I can't go back to where I've been

a brand new day
it can't get worse
hear myself say
it can't get worse

I have no lies or truth in what I say
there is no meaning
the words are numb and I am so afraid
there is no meaning

this is another chance or so I'm told
by these who can push themselves at any cost
they bless me with their fingers crossed
my youth is stolen, transformed and sold
