Annie, don't run away
Where I can't find you, the game has gone too far
Talking, a lot of talk
Playing telephone, twenty city blocks
Annie, they have the dossier
The investigation's already underway
And I tried Justine, she said to give you a ring
And I try to sleep but all I can hear's the beep

Answering, answering machine
Answering, answering machine
Just your answering, answering machine (Won't you come and find me?)
Answering, answering machine (Annie, won't you come and find me?)

Hey man, this is Ric
Uh, Callie just called me
And she said that she saw Annie acting in a dirty movie

Highway Madonna, evasion is her trade
There was no other, not a shadow at her place
With the brush you left, I comb the alleyways
I don't miss a beat, the tableau stays in place
Annie, I was closing in
But I smeared the number walking in the rain
The girl down the hall, she said to give you a call
And I try to sleep but all I can hear's the beep

From your answering, answering machine
Answering, answering machine
Just your answering, answering machine
Answering, answering machine

Answering, answering machine (Won't you come and find me?)
Answering, answering machine (Annie, won't you come and find me?)
Just your answering, answering machine (Won't you come and find me?)
Answering, answering machine (Annie, won't you come and find me?)

If you have any information leading to the whereabouts of Annie
Don't hesitate to call 976-LUV-LORN
That's 976-LUV-LORN
LUV with a "U", thank you

Corpse I Fell In Love With
Gadjits, The
He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

Battle Royale
Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone). And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
