Two Fanmixes

Two Fanmixes behind the cut:






Iron Man by the Cardigans
Self explanatory, but I live this version better than the Led Zepplin original

There's a Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven't Figured it Out Yet by Panic! At the Disco

I'm the new cancer
Never looked better
And you can't stand it
Because you say so
under your breath
You're reading lips
when did he get all confident


Viva La Vida by Coldplay

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

The Resolution by Jack's Mannequin

I'm alive
And I don't need a witness
to know that I survived
I'm not looking for forgiveness

Dr. Yang by Ben Folds

Hey Dr. Yin
Chain Smoking Chinese centenarian
Deck my back with Pins
Connect the Wires that Plug me in


This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race by Fall Out Boy

This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race
I'm not a shoulder to cry on
But I digress

I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh so intricate,
Oh so intricate


From a Balance Beam by Bright Eyes

So then I fell like that girl
from a balance beam
A gymnasium of eyes
all were holding on to me
I lifted one foot to cross the other
and I felt myself slipping
It was a small mistake
Sometimes that is all it takes


Unsafe Safe by The Hush Sound

Don't open the safe is unsafe

No you won't disarm my heart
The last gift you'll ever get from me
Is the combination or the key


Bitch Went Nuts by Ben Folds

The bitch went nuts.
She stabbed my basketball.
And the speakers to my stereo.
She called me 'cunt'
But nothing prepared me for
what I found when I came home.

Medicine and Gasoline by Lucky Boy's Confusion

t's getting quiet here again
For a minute let's pretend
When I disapear the world stops turning
Getting hassled by my friends
They're telling me I'm changing for the worse

The Science of Selling Yourself Short by Less Than Jake

I could be an expert on co-dependency,
I could write the best book on underage tragedy,
I've been spending my time at the local liquor store,
I've been sleeping nightly on my best friends kitchen floor,
So I sit and wait and wonder,
"Does anyone else feel like me?"
I'm so over-dosed on apathy and burnt out on sympathy.

Love on The Rocks by Sara Bareillis

Here's a simplification of everything we're going though
You plus me is bad news
But you're a lovely creation and I like to think that I am too
But my friend said I look better without you.

Call Me When You're Sober by Evanescense

Don't cry to me.
If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
You want me,
Come find me.
Make up your mind.

You never call me when you're sober.
You only want it cause it's over,
It's over.

West Coast by Coconut Records

So pack up the bags to beat back the clock
Do i let her sleep or should i wake her up
You said
We both go together if one falls down
Yeah right, heh
I talk out loud like you’re still around

Momentum by The Hush Sound

All we need is a little bit of momentum
Break down these walls that we've built around ourselves
All we need is a little bit of inertia
Break down and tell break down and tell

Capital H by Motion City Soundtrack

I'll be back tomorrow
I'll be back in the ballroom swingin'
I'll be back with my Superman action
And I’m off to save the world

I'll be back tomorrow
I'll be back in the ballroom swingin'
I'll be back with a capital H
It stands for hero, and the hero is me

Champions by Lucky Boy's Confusion

Where are all the champions
that used to come around
Where are all the champions
they're no where to be found

An Insult to the Dead by Say Anything

Oh God (Too bad this won't come easy)
I have made such an awful regret of today
(Too bad this won't come easy)
I have made such an awesome regret

Cavanaugh Park by Something Corporate

And there was never any place
For someone like me to be
Totally happy
I'm running out of clock and that
Ain't a shock
Some things never do change
Never do change

Like Rats From a Sinking Ship

Don't you even try to jettison now
This has gone, this has gone as far as i can allow
This ships been sinking with you at the helm
Straight to hell, straight to hell, take a bow straight to hell
The waters red now bring in the sharks
Circling, circling look who's calling the shots
Find a new hit or a brand new drug to get off, to get off, to get off

New york city
You weren't good to me
You held me close and set me free
Big city you made me disappear

Broken by Lucky Boys Confusion

Here we go, never gonna see me broken
Here we go, they're never gonna see me broken
Here we go, gonna keep my eyes open
So tell me who do you think you're defeating?

The Electric Version by The New Pornographers

Strung together like christmas lights
Twelve whole seconds of history might
Lead you from where you went off the track
Welcome back

Bonus track:

Still Alive by Jonathon Coulton, from Portal

This was a triumph.
I'm making a note here:
HUGE SUCCESS.
It's hard to overstate
My satisfaction.
Aperture Science
We do what we must
Because we can.
For the good of all of us.
Except the ones who are dead.
But there's no sense crying
Over every mistake.
You just keep on trying
Till you run out of cake.
And the Science gets done.
And you make a neat gun.
For the people who are
Still alive.

Tony post Secret Invasion, beginning of the arc

We've Got a Big Mess on Our Hands by The Academy Is...

Somebody get my phone
So I can throw it in a public
Pool and watch it float
And as it slowly sinking down,
Become a social ghost
Inside a box, cut at the top
To let some light shine in
To remind me what I’ve done and where I’ve been
When it all comes crashing...

Tony and Osborn

Megalomanic by Incubus

Hey megalomaniac
You're no Jesus
Yeah, you're no fucking Elvis
Wash your hands clean on yourself, baby and
Step down
Step down

You're the Wanker if Anyone Is by Say Anything

Your eyes - they convey all I despise with one glazed glance in my direction.
Go grow some balls!
I'll think of you when your momma calls in just her under-alls.
I'll photograph your descent, your fall
When you bitch, and beg and crawl

Tony on the run

All These Things I've Done by The Killers

When there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son
One more son
If you can hold on
If you can hold on, hold on
I wanna stand up, I wanna let go
You know, you know - no you don't, you don't
I wanna shine on in the hearts of men
I wanna mean it from the back of my broken hand

Like Rats From a Sinking Ship by Lucky Boy's Confusion

Don't you even try to jettison now
This has gone, this has gone as far as i can allow
This ships been sinking with you at the helm
Straight to hell, straight to hell, take a bow straight to hell
The waters red now bring in the sharks
Circling, circling look who's calling the shots
Find a new hit or a brand new drug to get off, to get off, to get off

New york city
You weren't good to me
You held me close and set me free
Big city you made me disappear

Tony and Osborn

Commitment by Lucky Boy's Confusion

Hours and hours of stipulation
Slowly adding up to manipulation
We bought into your presentation
Rock 'n' roll and speculation
Throw your pitch and show your numbers
Dropping names of the people you're working under
I'll keep the miles, you can have the cash
Here's your word you can have it back

The end of Tony's journey

Broken by Lucky Boy's Confusion

Here we go, never gonna see me broken
Here we go, they're never gonna see me broken
Here we go, gonna keep my eyes open
So tell me who do you think you're defeating?

Point of Extinction by Motion City Soundtrack

Burning bridges is a form of suicide
I saw the fires as the ghost of my life
Passed me by and there's nowhere you can hide
From the lessons or the lies that bind them

I'm so tired
I've had enough
If there's one thing I've learned
You'll always get burned
But you'll never give it up

Tony and Maria

For a Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic by Paramore

So what did you think I would say?
No you can't run away, no you can't run away
So what did you think I would say?
No you can't run away, no you can't run away
You wouldn't

I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay
I put my faith in you, so much faith
And then you just threw it away
You threw it away

Tony and Pepper

Here is a Heart by Jenny Owen Youngs

sleep like the dead
through the noise in your head
while monitors click
and whirr and glow
i'm with you all day
and i still would stay
tomorrow and onward
just this close
you know i live to keep you safe, oh
