Behind the hatred there lies
A murderous desire for love
I decree today that life
Is simply taking and not giving
England is mine - it owes me a living [First added to this chart: 12/02/2013]

I will be the first person in history
To die of boredom
I don't care about this life,
They say there'll be another one [First added to this chart: 01/13/2014]

They walk around together
And try and look trendy
I think it's a shame
That they all look the same
Can you hear this angry silence? [First added to this chart: 04/29/2015]

There is no culture is my brag,
Your taste for bullshit reveals a lust for a home of office
This is the home of the vain! This is the home of the vain!
Where are the obligatory niggers?
Hey there fuckface! Hey there fuckface!
There are twelve people in the world
The rest are paste
I'm living a fake
People say, "You are entitled to and great."
But I haven't wrote for 90 days
I'll get a good deal and I'll go away
From the empty brains that ask
How I wrote "Elastic Man" [First added to this chart: 11/29/2013]

I wanna build her up
Up as tall as a church
Just to watch her falling down
There is magic in her fingertips
There is magic in the lips I kiss
There is magic in her beautiful eyes
Justify the tears I’ve cried [First added to this chart: 04/29/2015]

My feelings are hurt so easily
that is the price that I I pay
to appreciate
the beauty they're busy killing
Emma's house is empty
So why do I call it Emma's house? [First added to this chart: 01/13/2014]

Only grown up boys are afraid of sex
I'm in love with the way you hang your head
Bizarre how the emptiness is brimming
I see me going to heaven
You can reach for the stars of heaven
It doesn't mean you'll ever get there [First added to this chart: 04/29/2015]

Great concept for a chart. Have to give you top marks for that but you have also chosen some really interesting lyrics. Great chart

Great chart idea, singingpeasant! I've been meaning to check out Felt for a long time, so think I might have to do that now. Getting more into B & S too these days.
Some of my favourite lyrics are probably on 'La De Da' by Joel Plaskett. Check out Ian Whitty and the Exchange as well, especially the song called 'Houndstooth Shirt' (I think there's a bit of a Belle and Sebastian influence in their songs too, actually).

It's great that you enjoyed Sinsister! Thanks for your rec. Does Townes Van Zandt play in any band or do solo? I haven't heard him before. I'll check him soon.

I like. I wanna make a chart like this. perhaps i will. It's pretty excellent Listen to Townes Van Zandt. The Song "Rake" is a great intro. if you haven't already. Also his song "Highway Kind" changes my life. The final verse really hit me. Still does.
Ill be checking into some of these more. I just listened to If You're Feeling Sinister today. So great.
