ninety6tears | [be the way you are] - a brian/justin fanmix (queer as folk)

---
(EDIT: I don't think individual song downloads will work right now cause there's a problem with yousendit...the zip has been edited with a different upload at zshare.)

1. The Start - "Gorgeous" [download]

"I just saw the face of God. His name is Brian Kinney."

my eyes were spinning round
like the twist of a top
my head reeling round so fast
i didn't think it could stop
but i stopped and

gorgeous was the day we met
i couldn't speak except to say how
gorgeous that i thought you were to me
so gorgeous was the day we met
i couldn't speak except to say how
gorgeous that the two of us could be

2. Placebo - "Plasticine" [download]

"We don't need rings or vows to prove that we love each other. We already know that."
"You did it."
"Did what?"
"...Became the best homosexual you could possibly be."

Beauty lies inside desire and every wayward heart redeemed
That doesn't sell its soul for self-esteem
That's not plasticine

The only thing you can rely on is that you can't rely on anything
Don't go and sell your soul for self-esteem
Don't be plasticine

And don't forget to be the way you are.

3. Garbage - "#1 Crush" [download]

"He wants me...I'm gonna live with him. I'm gonna be with him. You'll see."

I will cry for you
I will wash away your pain with all my tears
And drown your fear

I will pray for you
I will sell my soul for something pure and true
Someone like you

See your face every place that I walk in
Hear your voice every time I am talking
You will believe in me
And I will never be ignored

4. Jamiroquai - "Little L" [download]

"So now I'm a back-up plan? Who you do when all else fails?"
"How many times do I have to tell you we're not a couple?"

You're playing so hard to get
You're making me sweat just to hold your attention
I can't give you nothing more
If you ain't givin nothing to me

Dont you know that
You make me love you, love you baby
With a little 'L'
Why does it have to be like this?
I can never tell

5. The Stone Roses - "I Am the Resurrection" [download]

Down down, you bring me down
I hear you knocking down my door and I can't sleep at night
Your face, it has no place
No room for you inside my house I need to be alone

Don't waste your words, I don't need anything from you
I don't care where you've been or what you plan to do

I am the resurrection and I am the light
I couldn't ever bring myself to hate you as I'd like

6. Madonna - "Burning Up" [download]

You're always closing your door
Well that only makes me want you more
And day and night I cry for your love
You're not convinced that that is enough
To justify my wanting you
Now tell me what you want me to do
I'm not blind and I know
That you want to want me but you can't let go

7. Ryan Adams - "Wonderwall" [download]

"You were right. The reason I took you in was because you took a bat to the head. But that's not the reason I want you to stay."

And all the roads we have to walk along are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
I don't know how

Because maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall

8. The Strokes - "Alone, Together" [download]

The world is over and I don't care 'cuz...
I am with you, now I've got to explain
Things they have changed in such a permanent way
Life seems unreal, can we go back to your place
"You drink too much", makes me drink just the same

The first time it happened too fast
The second time, I thought it would last
We all like it a little different...

9. The Dandy Warhols - "The Last High" [download]

So I am alone but adored
By a hundred thousand more
Then I sin when you were the last -
And I have known love
Like a whore
From atleast ten thousand more
Then I swore when you were the last -
When you were the last high

10. Sheila Nichols - "Bread And Water" [download]

"I never forgave Brian. I never had to."

You flow across me in waves of
I hope to see you soon
Your anchor drags behind me
I feel your imprint on my thumbs
And everywhere I go I hear you in the words that I use
In my theories algebra and sums

I've kicked myself for months now
It's bread and water without you

11. Coldplay - "We Never Change" [download]

"So how about marrying me?"
"Stop being ridiculous."
"I'm not being ridiculous...I mean it."

We never change, do we?
We never learned to leave,
So I wanna live in a wooden house,
I wanna live life, always be true,
I wanna live life, and be good to you,
I wanna fly, and never come down,
And I live my life, and have friends around.

12. Radiohead - "Lucky" [download]

The Head of State has called for me by name
But I don't have time for him
It's gonna be a glorious day
I feel my luck could change

Pull me out of the aircrash
Pull me out of the lake
I'm your superhero
We are standing on the edge

13. Daft Punk - "Something About Us" [download]

I might not be the right one
It might not be the right time
But there's something about us I've got to do
Some kind of secret I will share with you

I need you more than anything in my life
I want you more than anything in my life
I'll miss you more than anyone in my life
I love you more than anyone in my life

14. The Drifters - "Save The Last Dance For Me" [download]

"Did we really dance to this corny old song?"
"I prefer to think of it as ridiculously romantic."

Oh, I know
That the music's fine
Like sparkling wine
Go and have your fun
Laugh and sing
But while we're apart
Don't give your heart to anyone
But don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me

15. The Weakerthans - "Left And Leaving" [download]

My city's still breathing (but barely it's true)
through buildings gone missing like teeth.
The sidewalks are watching me think about you,
all sparkled with broken glass.
I'm back with scars to show.
Back with the streets I know.
They never take me anywhere but here.
Those stains in the carpet, this drink in my hand,
these strangers whose faces I know.
We meet here for our dress-rehearsal to say "I wanted it this way"
and wait for the year to drown.
Spring forward, fall back down.
I'm trying not to wonder where you are.
All this time lingers, undefined.
Someone choose who's left and who's leaving.
Memory will rust and erode into lists of all that you gave me:
a blanket, some matches, this pain in my chest,
the best parts of lonely, duct-tape and soldered wires,
new words for old desires,
and every birthday card I threw away.
I wait in 4/4 time.
Count yellow highway lines that you're relying on to lead you home.

16. Broken Social Scene - "Lover's Spit (Redux)" [download]

Bonus Tracks:
.the much more badass but much longer album version of "I Am the Resurrection" [download]

I have like 10KB left on my hard drive (ha) but I wanted this fanmix so much that I dl'ed it to a memory stick. Go me. haha

Really awesome mix, mate.

Ha. Well, I tried to dl this to a memory stick, but alas, yousendit is saying that you've exceeded your dl limit.

corposant.livejournal.com

This looks like a great mix but yousendit says that you've exceeded your bandwidth.

FUDGE!

wouldn't you know that my computer sucks and it can't read the file or something. :(

*iz pissed*

Damn. Try this:
http://www.zshare.net/download/24355731cb3dd3/

I re-uploaded it @ zshare:

http://www.zshare.net/download/24355731cb3dd3/

Were you able to download it and it just wouldn't open? Cause other people couldn't d'l it at all.
I uploaded it again here, but I don't know if you'd have any more luck.

Thanks.

It's definetly my problem. I could download it, but I think the problem is that the format is m4a. My computer sucks and won't play it. :(

But, I know I would have loved the fanmix anyway ;)
