THE GARDEN:
A CROWLEY/AZIRAPHALE FANMIX


1. Three Hits - Indigo Girls
Introducting Crowley:
three hits to the heart son
& it's poetry in motion
one could send you down the river
three's a strange way to be delivered
would you trade your words for freedom
that's a barter for a blind man
three hits to the heart son
& it's poetry in motion.
are you leveed like a treasure
only words can help me find you
& this world's a fickle measure
i will painfully remind you
from a wise man to your red hand
you lay covered in our best sins
three hits to the heart son
& it's poetry in motion.
well i dream you constant stranger
with your best bloods & your anger
you say 'mother do you claim me
my beloved do you blame me'
well the first two might release you
but the last one sings in me son
three hits to the heart son
& it's poetry in motion
three hits to the heart son
& the last one sings in me. . . .

2. The Great Beyond - R.E.M.
Dreaming of the unattainable:
i've watched the stars fall silent from your eyes
oh the sights that i have seen
i can't believe that i believed
i wish that you could see
there's a new planet in the solar system
there is nothing up my sleeve.
i'm pushing an elephant up the stairs
i'm tossing up punchlines that were never there
over my shoulder a piano falls
crashing to the ground.
in all this talk of time talk is fine
but i don't want to stay around
why can't we pantomime
just close our eyes & sleep sweet dreams
me & you with wings on our feet.
i'm breaking through i'm bending spoons
i'm keeping flowers in full bloom
i'm looking for answers from the great beyond.
i want the hummingbirds the dancing bears
sweetest dreams of you
looking to the stars
looking to the moon. . . .

3. Want To Be Bad - Tegan + Sara
Crowley gets the news, gets the baby, gets drunk, & gets in over his head:
your crowbar swung through the restaurant
more like a pub yeah we drank a lot.
don't get in over your head
i just want to be bad oh oh all right
you're so tragedy & you were hard on me.
you might be dead but it's hard to know
the night turns in but you're all go go.
then morning came
we're in this together
i don't care how far we go
what's the matter
what's the matter. . . .

4. Start Together - Sleater-Kinney
Desperation & confusion amidst grudging co-operation:
if you want me it's changing
if you want everything's changing
if you want the sky would open up
if you want your eyes could open up.
i'm a mess
i'm the worst
but the best
that you've heard.
come so far come close together
don't tear apart what we've worked for.
right or wrong
here we are
i wanna know
what you are
what you are.
baby don't you leave me baby don't you go
'cause i'll head out the fences head out the door
baby don't you leave me baby don't you go
'cause i'll roll with the punches roll out the door.
i don't know what you want
but i got what you. . . .

5. Evil And A Heathen - Franz Ferdinand
Working in close proximity to the Enemy, trying to avert the unavoidable, Crowley is sucked in:
words fall from our mouths like plates from shaking hands
smash upon the silence of the smooth naked canal.
well i'm evil & a heathen
i'm evil & a heathen
i'm a heathen & evil like you
there's not a lot not a lot i couldn't do.
well i like how you pretend that the end will be the end
so fill up first & drink a curse to the death of death instead.
your teeth are black with wine as you place those lips on mine
the moon hangs heavy & forbidden high in the night of our lives. . . .

6. Storm Warning - I Am Kloot
In the face of the coming Apocalypse & Aziraphale, Crowley gets stinking drunk & muses on things; this leads nowhere good nor coherent:
hell for leather lathered drunk
you're soused you're pissed you're sunk
the jukebox now is drunk
just along the way
had a call last saturday
to say i'd thrown my friends away
reverse the charges on 'em all
i made a lot of calls.
is there a storm coming
or are we just another shower
is there a storm warning
or did someone just cut the power
is there a storm coming
or are we just another shower
'cause there's a storm coming
coming coming coming.
i would've kept you free from harm
rang the bells & raised alarms
i would've kept them all at bay
except i thought i heard you say
'you're the leper boy you can't come in
the monkey god says now you're king
you're out you're in you're out you're in
you're out you're in you're out'. . . .

7. It's You - Michelle Branch
Secrets in the face of the storm:
if tomorrow never comes
i would want just one thing
i would tell it to the stars & the sun
i would write it for the world to see.
& it's you
the light changes when you're in the room
oh it's you oh it's you.
if tomorrow never comes
i would want just one wish
to kiss your quiet mouth
& trace the steps with my fingertips. . . .

8. Downfall - Matchbox Twenty
The inevitable tempest of 'what if's:
i wonder how you sleep i wonder what you think of me
if i could go back would you have ever been with me
i want you to be unleashed i want you to remember
i want you to believe in me i want you on my side.
come on & lay it down
i've always been with you
here & now
give all that's within you
be my saviour
& i'll be your downfall.
here we go again ashamed of being broken in
we're getting off track i wanna get you back again
i want you to trouble me i wanted you to linger
yeah i want you to agree with me i want so much so bad.
yeah be my saviour
only love can save us now
come lay me down
only love can save us now
i'll be your downfall
ah love can save us now
love save me now.
lay it down
i've always been with you
hear me now
with all that's within you
be my saviour
& i'll be your downfall. . . .

9. Mock Orange - Fashion Design
Crowley goes to see Aziraphale & stumbles into a fire:
this cannot be here
it twisted time
it shut you down
& it will kill us all.
you cannot be here
you twisted love
you shut me down
& you will kill us all.
i cannot be here
i twisted fate
i shut us down
& i will kill us all.

10. I'll Believe In Anything - Wolf Parade
In the face of the flames, Crowley is bared & ready to fight for his angel:
give me your eyes i need sunshine
give me your eyes i need sunshine
your blood your bones
your voice & your ghost
we've both been very brave
walk around with both legs
fight the scary day
we both pull the tricks out of our sleeves.
but i'll believe in anything
& you'll believe in anything
said i'll believe in anything
& you'll believe in anything.
if i could take the fire out from the water
i'd share a life & you'd share a life
if i could take the fire out from the water
i'd share a life & you'd share a life
if i could take the fire out from the water
i'd take you where nobody knows you & nobody gives a damn
said nobody knows you & nobody gives a damn.
& i could take another hit for you
& i could take away your trips from you
& i could take away the salt from your eyes
& take away the spitting salt in you
& i could give you my apologies
by handing over my neologies
& i could take away the shaking knees
& i could give you all the olive trees
look at the trees & look at my face
& look at a place far away from here.
if i could take the fire out from the water
i'd take you where nobody knows you & nobody gives a damn
i said nobody knows you & nobody gives a damn
i said nobody knows you & nobody gives a damn either way
about your blood your bones
your voice & your ghost
because nobody knows you & nobody gives a damn either way
& now i'll believe in anything. . . .

11. Love Me Like The World Is Ending - Ben Lee
His car is on fire - and so is he:
this is the first day of the future
& all i want is you
i wear a pair of socks you left here
but i know i know i know nobody could ever fill your shoes.
i can see so clearly when the smoke gets in my eyes
please me with your promises & hurt me with your lies
baby can you hear the message i am sending
love me like the world is ending.
this is the last day of existence
and all i want is you
and there's a sudden sadness
but i know i know i know the sky is what makes the ocean blue
i know i know i know the sky is what makes the ocean blue.
and they all say to pour it has to rain
so don't complain if we get wet
in the deep end. . . .

12. Eve Of Destruction - Bishop Allen
He finds Aziraphale in rather unfortunate circumstances (specifically an uncertain Apocalypse):
& if this moment is gone in a flash
& my hand in yours becomes ash in ash
& everyone becomes just dust in the blast
at least this day will be our last.
& i tell you over & over & over again my friend
that i'm down with you even on the eve of destruction.
what if saint peter won't let us in
saying heaven's a place for the innocent
& we'll have a dance (yeah a dance) on the head of a pin
& god will grin & shoo us away. . . .

13. Hallelujah - Paramore
Holding hands in the teeth of the gale, scared witless & full of hope:
somehow everything's gonna fall right into place
if we only had a way to make it fall faster every day
if only time flew like a dove
will god make it fly faster than i'm falling in love.
this time we're not giving up
let's make it last forever
screaming hallelujah
we'll make it last forever.
holding on to bases wearing thin
i can't force these eyes to see the end
if only time flew like a dove
we could watch it fly & just keep looking up.
& we've got time on our hands
we've got
got nothing but time on our hands
got nothing but got nothing but
got nothing but time on our hands. . . .

14. Amazed - Poe
Confessions:
it's amazing to me i can't seem to say what i'm doing here
my tongue is all twisted around the air
looking for words that were so well rehearsed
but i can't find them anywhere
with you there's no easy answer it's true
you change the equation i add up to
& all of the things that i thought i knew
you turn it around.
i'm amazed
when push comes to shove what i'd give to you
everything
i'm amazed
the hallways i wouldn't mind crawling through
& i do it for days & for days
i'm amazed i'm amazed i'm amazed i'm amazed
the places you're taking me to.
wait i thought i had this down
i built all my cages & my hideouts
& i covered all my bases
i locked the door i shut all my windows
but you came creeping like a whisper it's true
i try not to listen yeah but i hear you
i'm not really sure just what it is you do
but do it again.
i'm amazed
when push comes to shove what i'd give to you
everything
i'm amazed
the walls that i wouldn't mind crashing through
& i'd do it for days & for days
i'm amazed i'm amazed i'm amazed i'm amazed.
& all of the things i know you have done
but this time i think that we've really won
the tables have turned now i'm taking my hat off to you
who said 'we'll see'
darling it's all clear to me
i'm amazed. . . .

15. The Garden Of Everything - Maaya Sakamoto & Steven Conte
Eden sex (what else is there to say?):
here you are daylight's star made out of miracles
perfection of your own you alone oh so incredible
each atom sings to me 'set me free from chains of the physical'
oh free me oh free me
the mirror melts i'm somewhere else inside eternity
where you on outstretched wings sing within the garden of everything
where memories call to me backward dreams or phantom reality
call to me they call to me.
& so here we are lovers of lost dimensions
burning supernovas of all sound & sight
every touch a temptation & for every sense a sensation.
eyes of pure deep azure quite unbelievable
the sun's daughter you've been made not to fade quite inconceivable
each atom sings to me 'set me free from chains of the physical'
oh free me oh free me
a love like ours a starry flower through seasons & centuries
as rivers reach the sea you'll reach me with songs of your symmetry
a small boat there will float to far off coasts the isle of infinity
come with me oh come with me
here we'll see love's lost tree made out of miracles
emotions crystal leaves to cover me & you in eternity
each atom sings to us through the blood 'love is a miracle'
sings softly it sings softly.
& so here we are twin stars of brilliant brightness
lanterns lit by life for all the depths of night
& every day will return us to arms of the ever eternal
so here we are so far from earthly orbits
burning supernovas of all sound & sight
where every day will return us to arms of the ever eternal. . . .

16. I Believe - I Am Kloot
Something starts, imperfect & impermanent, but good enough - & they've lasted this long:
i believe in the hallelujah chorus of the shopping malls
we say we can't we know we shan't well of course we shall
'cause i've seen i believe.
i believe that we are forever something which is incomplete
we trade ourselves for nothings & the words are our conceit
i have seen now i believe
that the ceaseless seamless straying of your heart
will one day cause itself to make a start
you & me we believe.
i never thought i'd string along
i never thought we'd last this long
but we've seen so we believe
in the hallelujah chorus of the shopping malls
we say we can't we know we shan't well of course we shall
'cause we've seen & now we believe.
i never thought i'd string along
i never thought we'd last this long
i have seen i believe
that we are forever something that is incomplete
we trade ourselves for nothings & the words are our conceit
i have seen i believe. . . .

17. Of Angels And Angles - The Decemberists
Lazing on a Sunday afternoon:
there are angels in your angles
there's a low moon caught in your tangles
there's a ticking at the sill
there's a purr of a pigeon to break the still of day
as on we go drowning
down we go away
& darling we go a-drowning
down we go away
away.
there's a tough word on your crossword
there's a bedbug nipping a finger
there's a swallow there's a calm
here's a hand to lay on your open palm today
as on we go drowning
down we go away
& darling we go a-drowning
down we go away
away.
there are angels in your angles
there's a low moon caught in your tangles. . . .
