The Doors

Riders on the Storm

There’s a killer on the road
His brain is squirmin’ like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play
If ya give this man a ride
Sweet memory will die
Killer on the road, yeah

Uncle Tupelo

Moonshiner

I've been a moonshiner
for seventeen long years
and I spent all my money
on whiskey and beer
and I go to some hollow
and set up my still
if whiskey don't kill me
Lord, I don't know what will

Nat King Cole

Aquellos ojos verdes 
de mirada serena
dejaron en mi alma
eterna sed de amar.

Betty Draper

Mad Men

Draper... What the hell are you doing?
Mrs Draper!

The Kinks

Girl, you really got me goin' 
You got me so I don't know what I'm doin', now
Yeah, you really got me now 
You got me so I can't sleep at night

William Elliott Whitmore

Bury your burdens in the ground

If you've got burdens
Don't carry them
Just bury them, in the ground
If you're hurting
Don't worry
I will try to be around

Frank Sobotka

The Wire

You know what the trouble is, Brucey?
We used to make shit in this country, build shit.
Now we just put our hand in the next guy's pocket.

Elbow

I've been working on a cocktail called Grounds for Divorce

Whoah

Polishing a compass that I hold in my sleeve

Whoah

Down comes him on sticks but then he kicks like a horse

Whoah

There's a Chinese cigarette case

And the rest you can keep

And the rest you can keep

And the rest you can keep

Steve Earle

Sunset in my mirror, pedal on the floor
Bound for New York City and I won’t be back no more
Won’t be back no more, boys won’t see me around
Goodbye guitar town.

Ghost Dog

The Creedence Clearwater Revival

Some folks are born to wave the flag,
ooh, they're red, white and blue.
and when the band plays "hail to the chief",
ooh, they point the cannon at you, lord,
It ain't me, it ain't me, i ain't no senator's son, son.
it ain't me, it ain't me; i ain't no fortunate one, no,
yeah!

Struggle for Pleasure

Simple Minds

You turn me on, you lift me up 
And like the sweetest cup I’d share with you 
You lift me up, don’t you ever stop, I’m here with you 
Now it’s all or nothing 
’cause you say you’ll follow through 
You follow me, and i, i, I follow you

Seth Bullock

Deadwood

R.L. Burnside

I'm not afraid of being insane

Been here too long, and I've seen too much

I got messed up. Ooh, I got messed up
I got messed up. Ooh, I got messed up

The Carnivale Convoy

Carnivale

David Carbonara

By the waters, 
the waters, 
of Babylon.
We lay down 
And wept, 
And wept,
For thee Zion.
We remember Thee,
Remember Thee Zion.
By the waters, 
The waters, 
Of Babylon.
We laid down 
And wept, 

And wept
For thee Zion
We remember thee, 
Remember thee Zion.

The Smiths

Take me out tonight
Where there's music and there's people
And they're young and alive
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one
Anymore

Jimmy McNulty

The Wire

- Let me understand you.
Every Friday night,
you and your boys would shoot crap, right?
And every Friday night,
your pal Snotboogie...
he'd wait till there was cash on the ground,
then grab the money and run away?
You let him do that?

-We catch him and beat his ass.
But ain't nobody ever go past that.

- I gotta ask you.
If every time Snotboogie
would grab the money and run away...
Why'd you even let him in the game?

- What?

- If Snotboogie always stole the money,
why'd you let him play?

- Got to. This America, man...

Blind Melon

All i can say is that my life is pretty plain

i like watchin' the puddles gather rain

and all i can do is just pour some tea for two

and speak my point of view

but it's not sane, it's not sane

I just want some one to say to me

i'll always be there when you wake

ya know i'd like to keep my cheeks dry today

so stay with me and i'll have it made

And i don't understand why i sleep all day

and i start to complain that there's no rain

and all i can do is read a book to stay awake

and it rips my life away, but it's a great escape

escape......escape......escape......

All i can say is that my life is pretty plain

ya don't like my point of view

ya think i'm insane

its not sane......it's not sane. 

Wilco

This is how I tell it

Oh, but it's long

One Sunday morning

Oh, one son is gone

I can see where they're dawning

Over the sea

My father said what I had become

No-one should be

Outside I look lived in

Like the bones in a shrine

How am I forgiven?

Oh, I'll give it time

Don Draper

Mad Men

Teddy told me that in Greek,
nostalgia literally means the pain from an old wound.
It’s a twinge in your heart,
far more powerful than memory alone.

Walter White

Breaking Bad

I am not in the danger Skyler.
I am the danger...

Johnny Cash

I hurt myself today,
To see if I still feel,
I focus on the pain,
The only thing that's real

Otis Taylor

I went down
To the house of the crosses
I saw my momma
Fall on her knees
Well she told me
This man's your father
He killed two people
And he raped me

Jimmy Darmody

Boardwalk Empire

I died in the trench,years back.
I thought you knew that.

Eddie Vedder

Oh, it's a mystery to me 
We have a greed with which we have agreed 
And you think you have to want more than you need 
Until you have it all you won't be free.
