.01 Boulevard of Broken Dreams | Green Day

[The Doctor, post-Rose, pre-Louisa – he’s never felt so alone in his entire life. Sometimes he wonders if he’ll ever feel whole again.]

 

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
‘Til then I walk alone

[...]

I’m walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone

Read between the lines
What's fucked up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone

 

.02 Faces Going Places | Jose Vanders

[This is Louisa’s life: get up, get dressed, go to work at the diner, go home, sleep. Rinse & repeat. Sometimes it’s so dull it makes her want to cry; sometimes it makes her want to smile. Either way, it’s her life and no one else’s – and that counts for a lot.]

 

There’s a woman with a baby, trying to make it stop
Crying so she's bribing with a lemon lollipop
There's a girl with her boyfriend, she's in way too far
‘Cos I saw him looking at another woman's heart

And people say that I am being lazy
I’ve got the dreams but don't know where to go
You think if I could choose to live here at the station I would?

There's a man with a bald patch at the back of his head
His heart is getting sleepy and he's watching where he treads
A group of sweaty girls are standing in a line
Naivety exploding as he gives them all the eye

The lady with the basket full of all her eggs
She's counted them too quickly, she'll wake up and they'll be dead
The boy who's lost his marbles has found them down the drain
The slit's too thin to get them so he'll have to start again

 

.03 Bullet and a Target | Citizen Cope

[The Doctor, and how he feels about the world and Louisa when he first meets her]

 

But what you’ve done here

Is put yourself between a bullet and a target

And it won’t be long now before

You’re pulling yourself away

 

I’ve been knowing her for years

I’ve been seeing her for years

She got dark, dark wavy hair

With a voice like she just don’t care

 

She got a skirt with a halter top

She got a dad who never gave enough

She drink a beer with a proper shot

She got knocked up in a pickup truck

[...]

Now she ducked and she ran away

Never to be heard from, never to be seen

I check the cover of a magazine

I’m just wondering how, just wondering how

 

.04 Liar, Liar | A Fine Frenzy

[Louisa when she first meets the Doctor – he must be crazy, she thinks, or the biggest liar in the world. Or maybe both. Still, she muses, there’s something about him. Something...nice.]

 

Liar, liar; you’re such a great big liar

With the tallest tale that I have ever heard

Fire, fire; you set my soul on fire

Laughing in the corner as it burns

Right between the ribs, it’s sinking in

 

Oh, oh, the siren sang so sweet

And watched the sailors going down

Oh, oh, you talked to me in siren song

Yeah, anyone would drown

Anyone would drown

 

Sick and tired of this mad desire

Fluttering inside me like a hawk

Wire, wire, got my hands on wires

Will heaven help you when I get them off?

Right between the ribs, you’ll feel it then

 

.05 Here it Goes Again | OK Go

[Theme song for “Into the Fire” – because you can’t get much crazier than a sentient stove.]

 

06. Right Where You Want Me | Jesse McCartney

[“Everything I touch wilts away.”
“I won’t wilt away too easily.”
“People change when they stay with me for too long.”
“I need a change in my life right now. And right now, you seem like the right one for me.”
“You’ll see things you never imagined.”

“Of course I will. That’s what I’m signing up for. A guided tour of the worlds”
“You wouldn’t be the first to die.”
"You're repeating yourself. Have you finally run out of reason as to why I shouldn’t follow you? You’re acting like you don’t want me to come.”]

 

There's something 'bout me that you ought to know
I've never felt the need to lose control
Always held on back and played it slow
But not this time
Baby, don't be gentle
I can handle anything

 

Take me on a journey
I've been thinking lately
I could use a little time alone with you
Let's do something, maybe
Please don't take your time
You got me
Right where you want me
[...]

Can't explain it
How you swept me off my feet, unexpectedly
In slow motion
My imagination's running, trying to keep my body still
I can hardly stand the thrill

 

.07 Sideways | Citizen Cope

[Louisa to the Doctor: her heart might be breaking, but she couldn’t stop falling for him if she tried]

 

You know it ain’t easy
For these thoughts here to leave me
There's no words to describe it
In French or in English

Well, diamonds they fade
And flowers they bloom
And I'm telling you

 

These feelings won't go away

They've been knockin' me sideways

They've been knockin' me out lately

Whenever you come around me

 

.08 You’re Beautiful | James Blunt

[The Doctor & his feelings for Louisa – he’d never admit it (even to himself), but he thinks he might be falling in love with her.]

 

My life is brilliant, my love is pure
I saw an angel of that I'm sure
She smiled at me on the subway
She was with another man
But I won't lose no sleep on that
'Cause I've got a plan

You're beautiful, you're beautiful
You're beautiful, it's true
I saw your face in a crowded place
And I don't know what to do
'Cause I'll never be with you

 

.09 Disturbia | Rihanna

[Theme song for “The Stuff of Nightmares” – werewolves and guards and

 

It's a thief in the night
To come and grab you
It can creep up inside you
And consume you
A disease of the mind
It can control you
It's too close for comfort

Throw on your break lights
We're in the city of wonder
Ain't gonna play nice
Watch out, you might just go under
Better think twice
Your train of thought will be altered
So if you must falter be wise
Your mind is in disturbia

 

.10 Where Does the Good Go? | Tegan & Sara

[Louisa, post-“Forget” – it’s hard to believe now, but she knows that one day, if she has to, she’ll get out.]

 

Where do you go with your broken heart in tow?
What do you do with the left over you?
And how do you know, when to let go?
Where does the good go? Where does the good go?

Look me in the eye and tell me you don't find me attractive
Look me in the heart and tell me you won't go
Look me in the eye and promise no love's like our love
Look me in the heart and un break broken, it won't happen

 

.11 Over My Head (Cable Car) | The Fray

[The Doctor, post-“Forget” – the Doctor used to think of his life in two parts: Before Rose and After Rose. Now, he finds himself wondering when he’s going to have to switch from With Louisa to After Louisa. He saw the Forget 43. He wishes he hadn’t.]

 

I never knew

I never knew that everything was falling through

That everyone I knew was waiting on a cue

To turn and run when all I needed was the truth

 

But that’s how it’s gotta be

It’s coming down to nothing more than apathy

I’d rather run the other way than stay and see

The smoke and who’s still standing when it clears

[...]

And suddenly I become part of your past

I’m becoming the part that don’t last

I’m loosing you and it’s effortless

 

Without a sound

We loose sight of the ground in the throw around

Never thought that you wanted to bring it down

I won’t let it go down ‘til we torch it ourselves

 

P.S. Sorry for this being a whole -- *checks* *looks sheepish* -- five days late, but: a) I wasn't sure when you got back from New York, and I wanted this to be a surprise upon your return, and b) I wanted it to be absolutely perfect, so...;-)

P.P.S. Okay, so here's the deal -- I've just realized that the .zip I've uploaded, while fully functional, has songs in it that are locked to my iTunes. So Micks, you can download it and listen to them if you want (if it asks you for authorization, the password is Sc00bie), but anyone else who wishes to download (if anyone does, which is doubtful) will have to wait until I've burnt it to a CD, then ripped it back onto my computer un-locked. Alternatively, you could just download it now and only listen to the songs that are unlocked (all but, like, 3). I'll cross this paragraph out once it's fixed, don't worry. :-)
