John's Theme Song

Arctic Monkey's "Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?"

The mirror's image
Tells me it's home time
But I'm not finished
'Cause you're not by my side
And as I arrived I thought I saw you leaving
Carrying your shoes
Decided that once again I was just dreaming
Of bumping into you

Now it's three in the morning and I'm trying to change your mind
Left you multiple missed calls and to my message you reply,
"Why'd you only call me when you're high?
Hi, why'd you only call me when you're high?"

Somewhere darker
Talking the same shite
I need a partner (hey)
Well, are you out tonight?
It's harder and harder to get you to listen
More I get through the gears
Incapable of making alright decisions
And having bad ideas

Now it's three in the morning and I'm trying to change your mind
Left you multiple missed calls and to my message you reply (message you reply),
"Why'd you only call me when you're high? (why'd you only call me when you're high?)
Hi, why'd you only call me when you're high?"

And I can't see you here wonder where I might?
Sort of feels like I'm running out of time
I haven't found what I was hoping to find
You said, "You gotta be up in the morning, gonna have an early night.
And you're starting to bore me, baby.
Why'd you only call me when you're high?"

Why'd you only ever phone me when you're high?
Why'd you only ever phone me when you're high?
Why'd you only ever phone me when you're high?
Why'd you only ever phone me when you're high?

"Heavydirtysoul" by Twenty One Pilots

There's an infestation in my mind's imagination,
I hope that they choke on smoke 'cause I'm smoking them out the basement,
This is not rap, this is not hip-hop,
Just another attempt to make the voices stop,
Rapping to prove nothing, just writing to say something,
'Cause I wasn't the only one who wasn't rushing to sayin' nothing,
This doesn't mean I lost my dream,
It's just right now I got a really crazy mind to clean.

Gangsters don't cry,
Therefore, therefore I'm,
Mr. Misty-eyed, therefore I'm.

Can you save, can you save my?
Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
Can you save, can you save my?
Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
For me, for me, uh
Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
For me, for me, uh
Can you save my heavydirtysoul?

Nah, I didn't understand a thing you said,
If I didn't know better I'd guess you're all already dead,
Mindless zombies walking around with a limp and a hunch,
Saying stuff like, "You only live once."
You've got one time to figure it out,
One time to twist and one time to shout,
One time to think and I say we start now,
Sing it with me if you know what I'm talking about.

Gangsters don't cry,
Therefore, therefore I'm,
Mr. Misty-eyed, therefore I'm.

Can you save, can you save my?
Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
Can you save, can you save my?
Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
For me, for me, uh
Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
For me, for me, uh
Can you save my heavydirtysoul?

Death inspires me like a dog inspires a rabbit.

Can you save, can you save my?
Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
Can you save, can you save my?
Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
For me, for me, uh
Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
For me, for me, uh
Can you save my heavydirtysoul?

Can you save, can you save my?save my?
Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
Can you save, can you save my?save my?
Can you save my heavydirtysoul?

"Sinister Kid" by The Black Keys

Well, the crooks are out
And the streets are gray
You know I wouldn't have it
Any other way

Your mother's words
They're ringing still
But your mother don't
Pay our bills

A sinister kid is a kid who
Runs to meet his Maker
A drop dead sprint from the day he's born
Straight into his Maker's arms
And that's me, that's me
The boy with the broken halo
That's me, that's me
The devil won't let me be

I got a tortured mind
And my blade is sharp
A bad combination
In the dark

If I kill a man
In the first degree
Baby would you
Flee with me?

A sinister kid is a kid who
Runs to meet his Maker
A drop dead sprint from the day he's born
Straight into his Maker's arms
And that's me, that's me
The boy with the broken halo
That's me, that's me
The devil won't let me be

"Message Man" by Twenty One Pilots

Eh! Eh! Eh! Eh!
Eh! Eh! Eh! Eh!
No no no no no no (Eh! Eh! Eh! Eh!)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (Eh! Eh! Eh! Eh!)

A loser hides behind a mask of my disguise,
And who I am today is worse than other times,
You don't know what I've done, I'm wanted and on the run.
I'm wanted and on the run.
So I'm taking this moment to live in the future

Release me from the present,
I'm obsessing all these questions,
Why I'm in denial that they tried the suicidal session,
Please use discretion when you're messing with the message, man,
These lyrics aren't for everyone, only few understand.

Eh! Eh! Eh! Eh!
Eh! Eh! Eh! Eh!
No no no no no no (Eh! Eh! Eh! Eh!)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (Eh! Eh! Eh! Eh!)

You don't know my brain the way you know my name,
You don't know my heart the way you know my face,
You don't know what I've done, I'm wanted and on the run.
I'm wanted and on the run.
So I'm taking this moment to live in the future

Release me from the present,
I'm obsessing all these questions,
Why I'm in denial that they tried the suicidal session,
Please use discretion when you're messing with the message, man,
These lyrics aren't for everyone, only few understand.

My people singing
My people singing

Hope you're dead 'cause how could you sleep at a time like this,
People, they rhyme like this, we're all impressed by this,
They rip it, flip it, but these are just triplets,
Wrote this in three minutes, three words to a line,
It's just poetry divided, I'm the kind of guy who,
Takes every moment he knows he confided in,
Music to use it for others to use it,
You're dead 'cause how could you sleep at a time like this,
Life is up here, but you comment below,
And the comments will always become common motivation,
To promote your show's next episode,
So your brain knows to keep going even though hope,
Is far from this moment, but you and I know it,
Gets better when morning finally rears it's head,
Together we're losers, remember the future,
Remember the morning is when night is dead.

Release me from the present,
I'm obsessing all these questions,
Why I'm in denial that they tried the suicidal session,
Please use discretion when you're messing with the message, man,
These lyrics aren't for everyone, only few understand.

Please use discretion when you're messing with the message, man,
These lyrics aren't for everyone, only few understand.

"Happy Little Pill" by Troye Sivan

In the crowd alone
And every second passing reminds me I'm not home
Bright lights and city sounds are ringing like a drone
Unknown, unknown

Oh, glazed eyes, empty hearts
Buying happy from shopping carts
Nothing but time to kill
Sipping life from bottles
Tight skin, bodyguards
Gucci down the boulevard
Cocaine, dollar bills
And...

My happy little pill
Take me away
Dry my eyes
Bring colour to my skies
My sweet little pill
Tame my hunger
Light within
Numb my skin

Like a rock I float
Sweat and conversations seep into my bones
Four walls are not enough
I'll take a dip into the unknown, unknown

Oh, glazed eyes, empty hearts
Buying happy from shopping carts
Nothing but time to kill
Sipping life from bottles
Tight skin, bodyguards
Gucci down the boulevard
Cocaine, dollar bills
And...

My happy little pill
Take me away
Dry my eyes
Bring colour to my skies
My sweet little pill
Tame my hunger
Light within
Numb my skin

Glazed eyes, empty hearts
Buying happy from shopping carts
Nothing but time to kill
Sipping life from bottles
Tight skin, bodyguards
Gucci down the boulevard
Cocaine, dollar bills
And...

My happy little pill
Take me away
Dry my eyes
Bring colour to my skies
My sweet little pill
Tame my hunger
Light within
Numb my skin

Love Don't Live Here Anymore
City & Colour (cover)

You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
Just a vacancy
Love don't live here anymore

When you lived inside of me
There was nothing I could conceive
That you wouldn't do for me
Trouble seemed so far away
You changed that right away, baby

You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
Just a vacancy
Love don't live here anymore

Love don't live here anymore
Just emptiness and memories
Of what we had before
You went away
Found another place to stay, another home

You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
Just a vacancy
Love don't live here anymore

In the windmills of my eyes
Everyone can see the loneliness inside me
Why'd ya have to go away
Don't you know I miss you so and need your love

You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
Just a vacancy
Love don't live here anymore

"Heavy is the Head" by Zac Brown Band, ft. Chris Cornell


Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Heavy is the head that wears the crown


Black dog
Drinks from the water
Trying to cool his tongue
Like the king
Finds no peace
His work is never done
Night falls
Smoke on the water
Darkness closes in
Cold white hand, in the deep
Will drown you for your sins


It's a lifelong expedition
Second-guessing your decisions
Trying to find out what's been missing
Pages keep on filling


Crying out
Ooh go and wake the king
Call to arms
For those who kiss the ring
Stand your ground
The walls are coming down
It's do or die
Do or die


Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Heavy is the head that wears the crown


Mad man
Blood on the altar
The Queen will have his head
His ghosts will shake those rattling chains
Long after he's dead
No soul knows his trouble
High upon his throne
Loved by few and judged by many
He bares that weight alone


It's a lifelong expedition
Second-guessing your decisions
Trying to find out what's been missing
And the pages keep on filling


Crying out
Ooh go and wake the king
Call to arms
For those who kiss the ring
Stand your ground
Yeah the walls are coming down
It's do or die
Do or die


Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Heavy is the head that wears the crown

"Hey Brother" by Avicii

Hey, brother, there?s an endless road to re-discover.
Hey, sister, know the water's sweet but blood is thicker.
Oh, if the sky comes falling down for you,
There?s nothing in this world I wouldn?t do.

Hey, brother, do you still believe in one another?
Hey, sister, do you still believe in love, I wonder?
Oh, if the sky comes falling down for you,
There?s nothing in this world I wouldn?t do.

What if I'm far from home?
Oh, brother, I will hear you call.
What if I lose it all?
Oh, sister, I will help you out!
Oh, if the sky comes falling down for you,
There?s nothing in this world I wouldn?t do.

Hey, brother, there?s an endless road to re-discover.
Hey, sister, do you still believe in love, I wonder?

Oh, if the sky comes falling down for you,
There?s nothing in this world I wouldn?t do.

"Dogs of War" by Blue Saraceno

Hear the devil callin, hear the devil callin
When I hear the devil callin' God will pay him for what he's do
I can't stop the Dogs of War, I can't stop the Dogs of War
See the fields burnin, see the fields burnin'
When I see the feels burnin cause hell is coming through
I can't stop the Dogs of War, I can't stop the dogs of war
Feel the river risin, feel the river risin
When I feel the river risin devil coming up from you
I can't stop the Dogs of war

"NFWMB" by Hozier

When I first saw you
The end was soon
To Bethlehem it slouched
And then, it must've caught a good look at you

Give your heart and soul to charity
'Cus the rest of you
The best of you
Honey, belongs to me

Ain't it a gentle sound, the rolling in the graves
Ain't it like thunder under earth, the sound it makes
Ain't it exciting you, the rumble where you lay
Ain't you my baby, ain't you my babe

Nothing ****s with my baby
Nothing can get a look in on my baby
Nothing ****s with my baby
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing

If I was born as a blackthorn tree
I'd wanna be felled by you
Held by you
Fuel the pyre of your enemies

Ain't it warming you, the world gone up in flames
Ain't it the life you, your lighting of the blaze
Ain't it a waste they'd watch the throwing of the shade
Ain't you my baby, ain't you my babe

Nothing ****s with my baby
Nothing can get a look in on my baby
Nothing ****s with my baby
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
