      Song SR-71 Tomorrow (lyrics already posted)
      and SR-71 What a Mess
      WHAT A MESS:
      I confess it's all true.
      I'm a mess, what a fool
      Now what do I do

      I need your help to get up from my knees
      I can't seem to see the forest for the trees
      As I wait in my silent misery
      All I'm asking is please...forgive me

      Now she knows me
      Now she knows me
      She wants me to be
      Someone I can't be
      ...still she wants me
      ... she needs me
      ...and she wants me
      Because she loves me

      I need your help to get up from my knees
      I can't seem to see the forest for the trees
      As I wait in my silent misery
      All I'm asking is please...forgive me

      SHATTERED

      Now you see inside
      I no longer hide
      Or fall between the cracks you left behind

      Shattered, now you're out of time
      You've come this far to be denied

      What a shame, I'm to blame
      What a shame, I'm to blame

      I need your help to get up from my knees
      I can't seem to see the forest for the trees
      As I wait in my silent misery
      All I'm asking is please...forgive me

      Cuz all I'm askin is please

        How about...
        Red Right Hand
        by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

        Take a little walk to the edge of town
        and go across the tracks
        Where the viaduct looms
        like a bird of doom
        as it shifts and cracks.

        Where secrets line
        and the border fines
        and the hummin' whines
        and man you know you're never coming back
        'Cross the valley, cross the stream
        cross the mills, cross the stacks

        On the gathering storm comes a tall handsome man
        in a dusty black coat with a red right hand.

        He'll wrap you in his arms
        tell you that you've been a good boy.
        He'll rekindle all the dreams
        it took you a life time to destroy.
        He'll reach deep into the hole
        heal your shrinking soul,
        but there won't be a
        single thing that you can do.

        He's a god, he's a man
        he's a ghost, he's a guru.
        They're whisperin' his name
        through this disappearing land
        but hidden in his coat is a red right hand.

        If you don't have no money
        he'll get you some.
        If you don't have no car
        he'll get you one.
        If you don't have no self-respect
        you feel like an insect
        well, don'tcha worry buddy
        'cause here he comes
        through the ghetto and the barrio
        and the bowery and the slums.

        His shadow is cast wherever he stands,
        with stacks of green paper
        in his red right hand.

        You'll see him in your nightmares,
        you'll see him in your dreams.
        He'll appear out of nowhere
        but he ain't what he seems.
        You'll see him in your head
        on the TV screen,
        hey, buddy I'm warning you to turn it off!

        He's a god, he's a man
        he's a ghost, he's a guru.
        You're one microscopic cog
        in his catastrophic plan,
        designed and directed
        by his red right hand.

          Watcher, I posted Red Right Hand for Lionel, but I suppose it could suit either of them

            The song fits Lex more in the future than now, I guess. When he's more like Lionel.

                    Ok, this song really reminds me of Lex. All of it, every word.

                    I can actually imagine the "I remember" part being played as Lex remembers his time in the asylum.

                    "Fighter" Christina Auilera

                    After all you put me through
                    You'd think I'd despise you
                    But in the end I want to thank you
                    Because you made me that much stronger

                    When I, thought I knew you
                    Thinking, that you were true
                    I guess I, I couldn't trust
                    Called your bluff, time is up
                    'Cause I've had enough
                    You were, there by my side
                    Always, down for the ride
                    But your, joy ride just came down in flames
                    'Cause your greed sold me out in shame, mmhmm

                    After all of the stealing and cheating
                    You probably think that I hold resentment for you
                    But, uh uh, oh no, you're wrong
                    'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do
                    I wouldn't know just how capable I am to pull through
                    So I wanna say thank you

                    'Cause it makes me that much stronger
                    Makes me work a little bit harder
                    It makes me that much wiser
                    So thanks for making me a fighter
                    Made me learn a little bit faster
                    Made my skin a little bit thicker
                    Makes me that much smarter
                    So thanks for making me a fighter

                    Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohhhh, ohh-yeah ah uhhhuh

                    Never, saw it coming
                    All of, your backstabbing
                    Just so, you could cash in
                    On a good thing before I realized your game
                    I heard, you're going around
                    Playing the victim now
                    But don't, even begin
                    Feeling I'm the one to blame
                    'Cause you dug your own grave

                    After all of the fights and the lies
                    Yes you wanted to harm me but that won't work anymore
                    Uh, no more, oh no, it's over
                    'Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture
                    I wouldn't know how to be this way now, and never back down
                    So I wanna say thank you

                    'Cause it makes me that much stronger
                    Makes me work a little bit harder
                    Makes me that much wiser
                    So thanks for making me a fighter
                    Made me learn a little bit faster
                    Made my skin a little bit thicker
                    It makes me that much smarter
                    So thanks for making me a fighter

                    How could this man I thought I knew
                    Turn out to be unjust so cruel
                    Could only see the good in you
                    Pretended not to see the truth
                    You tried to hide your lies, disguise yourself
                    Through living in denial
                    But in the end you'll see
                    YOU-WON'T-STOP-ME

                    I am a fighter and I
                    I ain't gonna stop
                    There is no turning back
                    I've had enough

                    'Cause it makes me that much stronger
                    Makes me work a little bit harder
                    Makes me that much wiser
                    So thanks for making me a fighter
                    Made me learn a little bit faster
                    Made my skin a little bit thicker
                    It makes me that much smarter
                    So thanks for making me a fighter

                    thought I'd forget, but I remember
                    i remember, i remember
                    thought I'd forget, but i Iremember
                    I remember, I remember

                    'Cause it makes me that much stronger
                    Makes me work a little bit harder
                    Makes me that much wiser
                    So thanks for making me a fighter
                    Made me learn a little bit faster
                    Made my skin a little bit thicker
                    It makes me that much smarter
                    So thanks for making me a fighter

                      A song that always pops into my mind, even though it's a bit dark, is "Hurt" by either NIN or Johnny Cash. It's dark, broody, and hits on all the points of Lex's journey to the dark side. (The song as it pertains to Lex is obviously metaphorical, I don't see him having a drug problem, but he has had a lot of his loved ones leave him and he does do a lot of looking inside himself for the reason as to why he is the way he is.)


                      HURT:

                      I hurt myself today
                      To see if I still feel
                      I focus on the pain
                      The only thing that's real

                      The needle tears a hole
                      The old familiar sting
                      Try to kill it all away
                      But I remember everything

                      What have I become?
                      My sweetest friend
                      Everyone I know
                      Goes away in the end

                      You could have it all
                      My empire of dirt
                      I will let you down
                      I will make you hurt

                      I wear this crown of thorns
                      Upon my liar's chair
                      Full of broken thoughts
                      I cannot repair

                      Beneath the stains of time
                      The feeling disappears
                      You are someone else
                      I am still right here

                      If I could start again
                      A million miles away
                      I would keep myself
                      I would find a way
                      Need I say more?

                        I would definitly have to agree with the previously mentioned SR-71 song "Tomorrow". In my opinion Lex is a character who is or has tried to be good.In past episodes he's talked about trying to fight his "destiny", and I think there are many times in the show that you can sense Lex's fear of himself ,the fear that he'll become like his father. Second would be the also mentioned Stabbing Westward song "What Do I Have To DO". While he fears becoming like his father at the same time Lex has at times tried please his father or exceed his father's and other's expectations of him. Although I think this season and recent episodes have him breaking away from feeling as though he needs try to meet his fathers expectations. Both are great songs at reflecting Lex I think. I'd have to say that I think that the songs used in scenes with Lex are almost always some of the best in the show.

                            Songs About Lex (Or MR)

                            We all love him. The tragic mystery of Smallville that is Lex Luthor. And for those of us who have, painstakingly enough, fallen in love with this character, there has always been a song or two to remind us of our Lex. Here are mine:

                            CLASSICAL - "No One Like You" by Sarah Brightman

                            Explanation: This song reminds of Lex mainly because it was featured in the movie Powder about a brilliant bald boy isolated from the rest of the world. Sounds like Lex, huh? Also, it seems like the perfect song, in both lyrics and music, to express what a love affair with Lex might actually feel like. Matches my FanFic, too. Give it a listen and a read.

                            Lexerpt:
                            In your eyes are my secrets that I've never shown you
                            In my heart I feel I've always known you
                            In your arms there's a comfort that I never knew
                            You've what I've been waiting for
                            There's no one like you.....

                            Innocent as a newborn in a world so frightning
                            Seems as if my world's been struck by lightning
                            Every dream I abandoned seems it could come true
                            I believe in miracles
                            There's no one like you!

                            Listen here: http://music.barnesandnoble.com/sear...n=724355651129


                            POP - "I Miss You" by Blink-182

                            Explanation: This song describes a dark lover, a hurt lover, a lover who seeks, subconsciously, to hurt. But the catch is, you still love them afterwards. A perfect description of Lex, I think.

                            Lexerpt:
                            Hello there, the angel from my nightmare
                            The shadow in the background of the morgue
                            The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley
                            We can live like Jack and Sally if we want
                            Where you can always find me
                            We'll have Halloween on Christmas
                            And in the night we'll wish this never ends
                            We'll wish this never ends

                            Don't waste your time on me you're already
                            The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you)
                            Don't waste your time on me you're already
                            The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you)

                            Where are you and I'm so sorry
                            I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight
                            I need somebody and always
                            This sick strange darkness
                            Comes creeping on so haunting every time
                            And as I stared I counted
                            Webs from all the spiders
                            Catching things and eating their insides
                            Like indecision to call you
                            and hear your voice of treason
                            Will you come home and stop this pain tonight
                            Stop this pain tonight...

                            Listen here: http://music.barnesandnoble.com/sear...n=602498609668

                                No one ever associates anything with Lex. I mean, just look at this thread! Only two people have posted on it in two days. Look at Lex's board, for God's sake! It's thread-bare!

                                *sigh* That makes me sad inside...
