Straight to Hell
Alex Cox
1987
Better stop dreaming of the quiet life,
‘Cos it’s the one we’ll never know.
And quit running for that runaway bus,
‘Cos those rosey days are few.
And stop apologising for the things you’ve never done,
‘Cos time is short and life is cruel,
But it’s up to us to change
This town called malice.

One from the Heart
Francis Ford Coppola
1982
‘Cause love’s such an old fashioned word.
And love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night,
And love dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves.
This is our last dance.
This is our last dance.
This is ourselves.

The Return of the Living Dead

Must stand and face the hounds of Hell,
And rot inside a corpse’s shell.

Is against the odds and that’s what I’ve got to face.

Worn like a mask of self-hate,
Confronts and then dies.
Don’t walk away.
