There's dissension in the ranks in Otherville, and there is (of course!) an appropriate Elvis Costello song for it.

| | Lost Horizons - 200 sec
Sawyer, Gin Blossoms.
Lyrics:
The last horizons I can see
are filled with bars and factories,
and in them all we fight to stay awake.
I'll drink enough of anything
to make this world look new again:
I'm drunk, drunk, drunk,
in the gardens and the graves.
She had nothing left to say,
so she said she loved me.
I stood there grateful for the lie.
I'll drink enough of anything
to make this girl look new again:
I'm drunk, drunk, drunk,
in the gardens and the graves.
Turn summer trees to bones and ice;
turn insect songs against the night.
With words we build and words we break -
I'm drunk, drunk, drunk,
in the gardens and the graves.
Maybe I could use you
to reassure myself.
I wouldn't wish this indecision
on anybody else.
We'll drink enough of anything
to make this world look new again.
And when the sin smiles,
how could it be wrong?
The last horizons I could see
are now resigned to memories.
I never thought I'd still be here today.
I'll drink enough of anything
to make myself look new again:
I'm drunk, drunk, drunk,
in the gardens and the graves.

Comparison - Ben and Locke
Lyrics:
Little man, big man - who came first?
What is the measure of our worth?
If there was a storm rolled in,
Who'd run inside, who'd go walking?
Little man, big man - what's inside?
It's all in the places where we find our pride
If there was a soul lost by the road,
Who'd pass by, who'd take it home?
Where is the beast lying?
Is there a beast hiding?
Little man, big man - who is who?
It's all in the damage that our toys can do
If there was a rock and a window pane,
Who'd throw stones, who'd walk away?
Where is the beast lying?
Is there a beast hiding?
Are we learning? Are we moving?
Little man, big man - fade away
It's all in the violence of the games we play
It's all in the violence of the games we play
It's all in the love we give today

| | Watch Your Step - 180 sec
Ensemble video with the same singer as 'Pills and Soap,' Elvis Costello again. This one's more upbeat, but still just as paranoid. (His songs work really well for Lost; what can I say?)
Lyrics:
Don't say a word; don't say anything.
Don't say a word; I'm not even listening.
I read in the paper about their escape -
They're just two bit kids from a bunch of sour grapes.
You better watch your step.
Watch who's knocking on your front door -
Now you know that they're watching, what are you waiting for?
Think you're young and original? Get out before
They get to watch your step.
Every day is full of fun and family spies;
They're making heroes out of fall guys.
They say it's good for business
From Singapore to Widnes -
You better watch your step.
Broken noses hung up on the wall;
Back-slapping drinkers cheer the heavyweight brawl,
So punch drunk they don't understand at all.
You better watch your step.
Every night, go out full of carnival desires,
End up in the closing-time choirs:
When you're kicking in the car chrome,
And you're drinking down the Eau de Cologne,
And you're spitting out the Kodachrome.
You better watch your step.
Bye, I send you all my regards.
You're so tough; you're so hard
Listen to the hammers falling in the breaker's yard.
You better watch your step.

| | My Back Pages - 180 sec
Sayid, set to the Byrds' cover of a song originally written by Bob Dylan. Lyrics:
Crimson flames tied through my ears,
Throwin' high and mighty traps.
Countless fire and flaming road,
Using ideas as my maps.
"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I,
Proud 'neath heated brow.
Ah, but I was so much older then;
I'm younger than that now.
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth;
"Rip down all hate," I screamed.
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull. I dreamed
Romantic flanks of musketeers,
Foundation deep, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then;
I'm younger than that now.
In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach -
Fearing not I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach.
Sisters fled by confusion boats,
Mutiny from stern to bow.
Ah, but I was so much older then;
I'm younger than that now.
Ah, but I was so much older then;
I'm younger than that now
My guard stood hard when abstract threats,
Too noble to neglect,
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect.
Good and bad, I define these terms,
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then;
I'm younger than that now.

| | Flesh & Blood - 192 sec
LVI's 1980s contest - a song by Roxy Music. The challenge was to change the mood of a song with footage. I think going from a presumed pickup song to a creepy pastiche with Ben as Juliet's svengali is a decent change.
Lyrics:
My friend's flesh and blood
She lies overtime
You'd nail her if you could
But she says
Love me for my mind, in my time
I'm not that kind
My friend's flesh and blood
Life size - perfect ten
So rude - she's no good
But as she says, it pays to win
Play to win, she plays to win
My friend's flesh and blood
Streetwise for her time
You'd nail her if you could
But she says
Love me for my mind, in my time

| | 236-6132 - 188 sec
Kate's POV of Sawyer - as canonical as I could make it. Shippiest thing I've ever done - what can I say, the song seemed pitch-perfect. Music once more by Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer (see 'Happytown').
Lyrics:
236-6132 is the number of my love,
even though it's been some time since he made fair to answer -
'Cause he feints and fades from view
like a fighter ducks a glove,
though I play the highway kind and he the china dancer.
If I was afraid to break or bleed,
I would find someone much easier to need.
But when drifters' dreams come true
and when push comes 'round to shove,
236-6132 is the number of my love.
236-6132 is the number I must call,
when Casey's at the bat, and Sleeping Beauty slumbers,
when the frost is on the dew and my teardrops drip and fall,
'til the world is frozen flat, and the long night snows me under.
On the icy nails of no return,
we will strike a match and set the night to burn.
'Cause when Beauty wakes anew and when Casey cracks the ball,
236-6132 is the only number.
I am not looking for no champion of my freedom;
I am anything but anybody's foundling.
Sometimes I feel like I am wandering,
an old balloon on broken string,
a bubble in a baby's dream,
a lost and lonely buzzardling,
a vulture beating creaky wings,
while angry storms go gathering around me.
236-6132 is the number of my love,
when the clouds are howling rain and the sky is black as ashes.
'Cause it's sunlight where we flew,
though the trail is cold above,
and the raven quakes in vain while the lightning barks and flashes.
Still the clouds will fade to gray cocoons
and spring the winken monarchs, nodding never-blinken moons.
When the crows come home to roost and the eagle weds the dove,
236-6132 is the number of my love.

| | Happytown - 216 sec
Lost ensemble piece, with music by the Buddhist/cowboy folk duo Dave Carter/Tracy Grammer. Lyrics:
Beat down, misdirected, cropped short and sized to fit
Honey, if we're still connected, I could really use a hit
I am not lookin' for a key to open every door
Just a pillow on the floor where we can sit
Here in the shining city, here in the endless summer
Here in the cave of wonder, number ninety-two
The sky of never-was was never quite this blue
But it's all right, it's all right with me if it's all right with you
Guru child on Glory Mountain, waitin' patient, turtle-wise
Twenty years of bliss and countin' -- trips and riddles in his eyes
He says the primal quest ain't nothin' but a second guess
Sometimes you just do your best to compromise
Here in the shining city, here in the endless summer
Here in the cave of wonder, number ninety-two
The book is empty from the sparrow's point of view
But it's all right, it's all right with me if it's all right with you
Shootin' fools and starry gazers, wizard hip and button down
I walk the Occam's Razor way through priests and circus clowns
Am I a missioner of faith or grace or vision or
another grinning prisoner in Happytown?
Here in the shining city, here in the endless summer
here in the cave of wonder, number ninety-two
We chase the shadows of the chosen and the few
But it's all right, it's all right with me if it's all right with you
So strap me in, I'm goin' clear, I'm burnin' circles 'round the sun
The Fisher King is here, but he is not the only one
Parsifal and Valentino, ridin' winged palominos
Willie in his El Camino, on the run
Here in the shining city, here in the endless summer
Here in the cave of wonder, number ninety-two
The gods will lounge around until the show is through
But it's all right, it's all right with me if it's all right with you
