our october day (X-Men: First Class fanmix)

[be_themoon]

Fandom: X-Men: First Class
Title: our october day
Subject: everyone, Charles/Erik
Warnings: spoilers for the movie
Mixers Notes: For singustosleep's June challenge, at the movies and black and white. There's quite a few Charles/Erik songs, a few for specific team-members, several songs that apply to more than one person, and some of them are team-songs. Mostly it's very open to interpretation. :P (We could play a game called 'spot the really tongue-in-cheek song Betsy stuck in because she couldn't resist. I suspect it wouldn't take long.)





Samson and Delilah - Shirley Manson
if I had my way
I'd burn this whole building down

Cathedrals - Jump Little Children
in the cathedrals of New York and Rome
there is a feeling that you should just go home
and spend a lifetime finding out just where that is

Gravity - Vienna Teng
but don't you believe them
don't you drink their poison too
these are the scars that words have carved on me

Cold War - Janelle Monae
this is a cold war
you better know what you're fighting for
this is a cold war
do you know what you're fighting for?

Old College Try - The Mountain Goats
our love has never had a leg to stand on
from the aspirins to the crossways to the elevils
but I will walk all the way down with you
if you will come all the way down with me

Stray Italian Greyhound - Vienna Teng
this feeling calls for everything that I am not
I'm not that kind
I'm so good at shooting down any notion this tired world could change

Speeding Cars - Imogen Heap
there baby it's all textbook stuff
it's in the ABC's of growing up

All These Things I've Done - The Killers
I've got soul but I'm not a soldier

Lifelike - The Rosebuds
well oh well, the pines are getting to me
look at my life, I'm wild but I'm not free

Black Sheep - Metric
hello again friend of a friend
I knew you when our common goal was waiting for the world to end

Rusted Wheel - Silversun Pickups
so you can't hold onto a star
though at least you can hold on to another plan
rusted wheel planted still
rusted wheel can't move on

She's Not There - Nick Cave & Neko Case
but it's too late to say you're sorry
how should I know why should I care
please don't bother trying to find her
she's not there

Bang Bang - Nancy Sinatra
bang bang I hit the ground
bang bang that awful sound
bang bang my baby shot me down

Running Up That Hill - Placebo
and if I only could make a deal with god
get him to swap our places
be running up that hill

Anyone's Ghost - The National
I had a hole in the middle where the lightning went through it
I told my friends not to worry
didn't want to be your ghost
didn't want to be anyone's ghost

Blinding - Florence & The Machine
no more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
no more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world

What Am I Gonna Do Now - Todd Wright
it's hard to remember that late September
when all this came crashing down

The Dangling Conversation - Simon & Garfunkel

and I only kiss your shadow

I cannot touch your hand

you're a stranger now unto me

 

Antebellum - Vienna Teng

I know the border lines we drew between us

keep the weapons down, keep the wounded safe

I know our antebellum innocence was never meant to see

the light of our armistice day

but how much would I give to have it back again?

how much did we lose to live this way?
