Wall

I was sayin' let me outta here before I was even born,
It's such a gamble when you get a face,
It's fascinatin' to observe what the mirror does,
But when I dine it's for the wall that I set a place.

I belong to the blank generation,
And I can take it or leave it each time.
I belong to the ____ generation,
But I can take it or leave it each time.

(Richard Hell/Television, extrait // excerpt, Blank Generation)

Edge

Don't smoke
Don't drink
Don't fuck
At least I can fucking think

I can't keep up
Can't keep up
Can't keep up
Out of step with the world

(Minor Threat, Out of Step)

Extinction

I'm just like anyone
I want to feel
The road of tar beneath the wheel named extinction
And evolving from the sea
Would not be too much time for me
To walk beside you in the sun

(Pixies, extrait // excerpt, The Sad Punk)

Key

up there -- there is a sea
up there -- there is a sea
up there -- there is a sea
the sea's the possibility
There is no land but the land
(up there is just a sea of possibilities)
There is no sea but the sea
(up there is a wall of possibilities)
There is no keeper but the key
(up there there are several walls of possibilities)
Except for one who seizes possibilities, one who seizes possibilities

(Patti Smith, extrait // excerpt, Land)

Blues

Another cigarette,
Another day,
From A to B,
Again avoiding C, D, and E,
'cos E is where you play the blues

(Wire, extrait // excerpt, Lowdown)

Try

Mr. Present, go away
Come back and fuck with us some other day
Mr. Feelings, run and hide
You have no right to what you feel inside
Motherfuckers, quick to kiss
Talk your shit, but don't fuck with this
All I want to know is
Am I holding on? Am I moving on?
What can we do, what can we do?

Try
Try
Try
Try

(Minor Threat, extrait // excerpt, Look Back And Laugh)

Broken

I got no lips, I got no tongue
Whatever I say is only spit

(Pixies, extrait // excerpt, Broken Face)
