The Mending of the Gown Sunset Rubdown she had a name, she had a spirit/ she had a line in the play if you waited to hear it / but a master of disguises… / her demise was her design, they said / “was it the mending of the gown or the running it around?”

The World is Not Enough Garbage the world is not enough / but it is such a perfect place to start, my love / and if you're strong enough / together we can take the world apart, my love

Time to Dance (Instrumental) Panic! at the Disco (a string quartet tribute) she didn't choose this role / but she'll play it and make it sincere / so you cry, you cry / (give me a break) / but they believe it from the tears / and the teeth right down to the blood / at her feet

My Boy Builds Coffins Florence + Machine my boy builds coffins for the rich and the poor / kings and queens; they've all knocked on his door / beggars and liars, gypsies and thieves / they all come to him 'cause he's so eager to please / my boy builds coffins he makes them all day / but it's not just for work and it isn't for play / he's made one for himself / one for me too / one of these days he'll make one for you

Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps) David Bowie she asked me to stay / and I stole her room / she asked for my love / and I gave her a dangerous mind / now she's stupid in the street / and she can't socialise / well I love the little girl / and I'll love her till the day she dies

Pretty Down to Your Bones The Hush Sound I whimper, laugh, and cry / there is a murmur of your love inside / when you dress me in the dream you made / I'll be your bargain, be your favorite / but oh, sometimes it hurts / you pluck my nerves

All Mine Portishead make no mistake / you shan't escape / tethered and tied / there's nowhere to hide from me / all mine.... / you have to be

Many Moons Janelle Monáe so strong for so long / all I wanna do is sing my simple song / square or round, rich or poor / at the end of day and night all we want is more / I keep my feet on solid ground and use my wings when storms come around / I keep my feet on solid ground for freedom / you're free but in your mind, your freedom's in a bind

Thistle and Weeds Mumford & Sons I begged you to hear me, there's more than flesh and bones / let the dead bury the dead, they will come out in droves / but take the spade from my hands and fill in the holes you've made / but plant your hope with good seeds / don't cover yourself with thistle and weeds

Breathe Me Sia be my friend / hold me, wrap me up / unfold me / I am small / I'm needy / warm me up / and breathe me

The Queen & The Soldier Suzanne Vega but the crown, it had fallen, and she thought she would break / and she stood there, ashamed of the way her heart ached / she took him to the doorstep and she asked him to wait / she would only be a moment inside. / out in the distance her order was heard / and the soldier was killed, still waiting for her word / and while the queen went on strangling in the solitude she preferred / the battle continued on

Circus Britney Spears there's only two types of guys out there, / ones that can hang with me, and ones that are scared / so baby I hope that you came prepared / I run a tight ship, so beware / I'm like a ring leader, I call the shots. / I'm like a fire cracker, / I make it hot when I put on a show

Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) Emily Browning sweet dreams are made of this / who am I to disagree? / travel the world and the seven seas / everybody's looking for something / some of them want to use you / some of them want to get used by you / some of them want to abuse you / some of them want to be abused
