"Glory Box" by Portishead -
from their first album "Dummy" (1994)

I'm so tired of playing,
Playing with this bow and arrow,
Gonna give my heart away,
Leave it to the other girls to play,
For I've been a temptress too long.

Hmm just,
Give me a reason to love you,
Give me a reason to be,
A woman,
I just wanna be a woman.

From this time, unchained,
We’re all looking at a different picture,
Through this new frame of mind,
A thousand flowers could bloom,
Move over, and give us some room.

Yeah,
Give me a reason to love you,
Give me a reason to be,
A woman,
I just want to be a woman.

So don't you stop, being a man,
Just take a little look from our side when you can,
Sow a little tenderness,
No matter if you cry.

Give me a reason to love you,
Give me a reason to be,
A woman,
It's all I wanna be is all woman.

For this is the beginning of forever and ever,
It's time to move over ,
So I want to be.

I'm so tired of playing,
Playing with this bow and arrow,
Gonna give my heart away,
Leave it to the other girls to play.
For I've been a temptress too long.

Hmm just,
Give me a reason to love you.


"Psyche" by Love Spirals Downwards (Kristen Perry-Gow, 1998)-
from their 4th album "Flux"

Here I reap barley, corn and wheat
In this field dark and bleak
Eros holds the keys I seek
Psyche's tasks to complete

I loved him blindly
Never saw his face by day
I loved him nightly
Aphrodite

From my lips Venus fountains drip
Bittersweetness
Eden howls behind garden walls
Reed pipes for wantoness

I held the lamp
Suspicion beheld me his face
I held the lamp
My lover flew away

I loved him blindly
Never saw his face by day
I loved him nightly
Aphrodite

In the shadows of passion's throws
Love's harvest seemed so cruel
Black rivers cross beauty's domain
Mortal world you begin to fade

I loved him blindly
Never saw his face by day
I loved him nightly
My lover flew away

I loved him blindly
Never saw his face by day
I loved him nightly
Aphrodite


"Not Myself" by John Mayer

Suppose I said
I am on my best behavior
And there are times
I lose my worried mind

Would you want me when I'm not myself?
Wait it out while I am someone else?

Suppose I said
Colors change for no good reason
And words will go
From poetry to prose

Would you want me when I'm not myself?
Wait it out while I am someone else?

And I, in time, will come around
I always do for you

Suppose I said
You're my saving grace?


"Sour Times" by Portishead -
from their first album "Dummy" (1994)

To pretend no one can find,
The fallacies of morning rose,
Forbidden fruit, hidden eyes,
Courtesies that I despise in me
Take a ride, take a shot now.

‘Cause nobody loves me,
It's true,
Not like you do.

Covered by the blind belief,
That fantasies of sinful screens,
Bear the facts, assume the dye,
End the vows no need to lie, enjoy,
Take a ride, take a shot now.

‘Cause nobody loves me,
It's true,
Not like you do.

Who oo am I, what and why?
‘Cause all I have left is my memories of yesterday,
Ohh these sour times.

‘Cause nobody loves me,
It's true,
Not like you do.

After time the bitter taste,
Of innocence decent or race,
Scattered seed, buried lives,
Mysteries of our disguise revolve,
Circumstance will decide.

‘Cause nobody loves me,
It's true,
Not like you do


"Stir About the Stars" by Love Spirals Downwards (1992) -
from their first album "Idylls"

I begin again
As the world outside ends
Dense, even in the still light
To owe you my life
I tell you
Make castles when you want to
And fill them with sights
Stir about the stars
During nights below these tides
