Silverchair - Ana's Song

Please die, Ana

For as long as you're here we're not

You make the sound of laughter

and sharpened nails seem softer

And I need you now, somehow

And I need you now, somehow

Open fire

On my needs designed

On my knees for you

Open fire

On my knees desires

What I need from you

Imagine pageant

In my head the flesh seems thicker

Sandpaper tears corrode the film

And I need you now, somehow

And I need you now, somehow

Open fire

On my needs designed

On my knees for you

Open fire

On my knees desires

What I need from you

And you're my obsession

I love you to the bones

And Ana wrecks your life

Like an Anorexia life

Open fire

On the needs designed

On my knees for you

Open fire

On my knees desires

What I need from you

Open fire

On the needs designed

Open fire

On my knees desires

On my knees for you

Alanis Morissette - Mary Jane

What's the matter Mary Jane, you had a hard day

As you place the don't disturb sign on the door

You lost your place in line again, what a pity

You never seem to want to dance anymore

It's a long way down

On this roller coaster

The last chance streetcar

Went off the track

And you're on it

I hear you're counting sheep again Mary Jane

What's the point of trying to dream anymore

I hear you're losing weight again Mary Jane

Do you ever wonder who you're losing it for

Well it's full speed baby

In the wrong direction

There's a few more bruises

If that's the way

You insist on heading

Please be honest Mary Jane

Are you happy

Please don't censor your tears

You're the sweet crusader

And you're on your way

You're the last great innocent

And that's why I love you

So take this moment Mary Jane and be selfish

Worry not about the cars that go by

All that matters Mary Jane is your freedom

Keep warm my dear, keep dry

Tell me

Tell me

What's the matter Mary Jane

Manic Street Preachers - 4st 7lb

Spoken: "I eat too much to live and not enough to stay alive. I'm just sitting in the middle, waiting."

Days since I last pissed

Cheeks sunken and despaired

So gorgeous sunk to six stone

Lose my only remaining home

See my third rib appear

A week later all my flesh disappear

Stretching taut, cling-film on bone

I'm getting better

Karen says I've reached my target weight

Kate and Emma and Kristin know it's fake

Problem is diet's not a big enough word

I wanna be so skinny that I rot from view

I want to walk in the snow

And not leave a footprint

I want to walk in the snow

And not soil its purity

Stomach collapsed at five

Lift up my skirt my sex is gone

Naked and lovely and 5st. 2

May I bud and never flower

My vision's getting blurred

But I can see my ribs and I feel fine

My hands are trembling stalks

And I can feel my breasts are sinking

Mother tries to choke me with roast beef

And sits savouring her sole Ryvitta

That's the way you're built my father said

But I can change, my cocoon shedding

I want to walk in the snow

And not leave a footprint

I want to walk in the snow

And not soil its purity

Kate and Kristin and Kit Kat

All things I like looking at

Too weak to fuss, too weak to die

Choice is skeletal in everybody's life

I choose, my choice, I starve to frenzy

Hunger soon passes and sickness soon tires

Legs bend, stockinged I am Twiggy

And I don't mind the horror that surrounds me

Self-worth scatters, self esteem's a bore

I long since moved to a higher plateau

This discipline's so rare so please applaud

Just look at the fat scum who pamper me so

Yeah 4st. 7, an epilogue of youth

Such beautiful dignity in self-abuse

I've finally come to understand life

Through staring blankly at my navel.

Filter - Skinny

So here you are in your small little world

Kept up like a little precious virgin girl

To hear 'bout your grace and your silly face

Wrapped up like a knot in a ball of shoelace

And everytime I talk to you

It sounds like you're caught in a psychological flu

Don't ever let them see you cheat

Don't Ever let them see you bleed

Don't Ever let them shake your hand

Don't ever let them believe that scam

Skinny

And it will make you cry

Skinny

And it will make you lie

Skinny

And if it makes you soft inside

Skinny

At least you will not die

And if you take a good look at them

All caught up in their graciousless win

Every sin is their seamless smile

Will go on for a countless while

And just because they think they won

It just means that the shit has just begun

Don't ever let them see you cheat

Don't ever let them see you beat

Don't ever let them shake your hand

Don't ever let them believe that scam

Skinny

And it will make you cry

Skinny

And it will make you lie

Skinny

And if it makes you soft inside

Skinny

At least you will not die

Yeah, skinny, skinny, huh

Saves the Day - Cars and Calories

Her life was magazines

And faithful TV screens

Selling an empty dream

Of cars and calories

Everything in between

The sun and Saturn's ring

The price tag can't be seen

And it took bites

Out of her insides

'Till she was just a hollow shell

Grew up in east LA

Watching celebrities

Living out all of her dreams.

The plastic canopy

Of US royalty

Drew her gaze towards the sky

Away from her own mind

And it took bites

Out of her insides

'Till she was just a hollow shell

And at her home her mother cried

Cause daddy had something on the side

They didn't look up when she sighed

When August came around

Bathing suits on the ground

Replaced by a cotton cloak

To see her own reflection

Was like squinting in the sun

And when all tomorrow brings

Is a set of broken wings

Well it takes bites

Out of your insides,

'Till you are just a hollow shell

And it took bites

Out of her insides

'Till she was just a hollow shell
