Dump this agony and misery

Give me

When did your heart go missing?

A song for Agatha from Kel’s POV.

You've come to this. You were once a lion.

You've come to this. Ringing din here.

All the sad boys come home with you

Drape you in garlands and sing their sad songs to you

Pour all their stories like rain through you

Your body fell prey to the transparent mind of you

All blue ghosts search for signs of you

All the pale grey stars shine through you.

20. May the Living Be Dead (In Our Wake) by Flogging Molly

Said her name was Marie

From the banks of the Lee

With the prettiest eyes my own had ever seen

Her hair like ripples

They danced with the tide

As our hearts washed away to the sea

Was she sent down from the heavens above

Her breath pure as whiskey my heart fell in love

Now the devil is courtin' a different tune

And I laugh as the tears was the rain

Tell me why no one’s listenin'

Is there nothing at all left to say

In a world so unforgiving

You mean more to me each every day

So may the living be dead in our wake

A theme for The Party Killers.

It's too late baby, there's no turning around

I've got my hands in my pocket and my head in a cloud

I keep a sinister smile and a hold of my heart

You want to get inside

Then you can get in line

But not this time.

A song for Agatha and Kel.

My way.

5. Lydia by Her Space Holiday

I'm losing my mind in a record amount of time

Is it all in my head?

In each town I find there's always a graveyard near by

I'm taking here home

That girl from Glasgow whose father just left her alone

A theme for Agatha.

6. No one’s Gonna Love You by Band of Horses

It's looking like a limb torn off

Or altogether just taken apart

We're reeling through an endless fall

We are the ever-living ghost of what once was

[…]

And anything to make you smile

[…]

But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do

No one's gonna love you more than I do

But someone,

They could have warned you

When things start splitting at the seams and now

The whole thing's tumbling down

Things start splitting at the seams and now

If things start splitting at the seams and now,

It's tumbling down

Hard.

A song from Kel to Agatha; and Agatha to Kel.

7. Shankill Butchers by The Decemberists

The Shankill Butchers run tonight

You better shut your windows tight

They're sharpening their cleavers and their knives

And taking all their whiskey by the pint

Mind your mother's words

A wicked wind will blow

Your ribbons from your curls

Everybody moan, everybody shake

The Shankill Butchers want to catch you awake

A theme for Agatha and Kel.

We've survived thick and thin

Taking knocks on the chin

And the boys go into business and marry and raise a family

We're in the money, we're in the money;

We've got a lot of what it takes to get along!

We're in the money, that sky is sunny,

Old Man Depression you are through, you done us wrong.

We never see a headline about breadlines today.

And when we see the landlord we can look that guy right in the eye

We're in the money, come on, my honey,

Let's lend it, spend it, send it rolling along!

A theme for The Party Killers from the POV of Agatha.

We've got a war to fight

Never found our way

Regardless of what they say

How can it feel, this wrong

From this moment

How can it feel, this wrong

Theme song for Frank.

16. Rise Up In The Dirt by Voxtrot

Too many times you're gonna go out with a-walkin'

Too many times you come out late

Too many times you set yourself out of the scene, it makes you walk up straight

It makes you walk up straight

Too many times you trade the bottle for the body

One drop of breath and one for skin

You say nobody knows the truth about your body, are you entirely thin?

Are you entirely thin?

A song for Agatha.

You and I are on the outside

a bunch of animals every given day

Never read or hardly wrote

but signed an 'x' once in blood

A song for Kel and Agatha.

19. The Wolf by Tyler Bates

[Instrumental]

20. Feel Good Inc. by Gorillaz

City's breaking down on a camel's back

They just have to go 'cause they don't hold back

So all you fill the streets, it's appealing to see

You won't get out the county, 'cause you're bad and free

You've got a new horizon, it's ephermal style

A melancholy town where we never smile

And all I wanna hear is the message beep

My dreams, they've got to kiss, because I don't get sleep, no

A theme song for The Party Killers
