This mix sort of came about accidentally while I was making another mix about the Master (will be posted eventually), so I thought I'd post it before I went away for the weekend to attend my 500th graduation ceremony. Nearly every time I thought I'd found a song for him, I discovered it was much more applicable to her issues/particular brand of crazy.

The songs are pretty much in chronological order, charting her progress through Sound of Drums/Last of the Time Lords. As per usual with my mixes, it's an...eclectic selection of music. Hope you enjoy!

Saltwater Queen - A Lucy Saxon Mix

Lyrics and visuals:




01. Bat For Lashes - Use Somebody

I’ve been roaming around
Always looking down at all I see
Painted faces fill the places I can’t reach
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you

02. The Morning Benders - He's a Rebel

When he holds my hand, I'm so proud, 'cause he's not just one of the crowd
My baby, oh he's the one to try the things they've never done
And just because of that, they say:
He's a rebel and he'll never ever be any good
He's a rebel 'cause he never ever does what he should
But just because he doesn't do what everybody else does,
That's no reason why I can't give him all my love
He's always good to me, always treats me tenderly
'Cause he's not a rebel, oh no no no
He's not a rebel, oh no no no, to me

03. Rufus Wainwright - Pretty Things

Pretty things, so what if I like pretty things
Pretty lies, so what if I like pretty lies
From where you are, to where I am now
I need these pretty things, around the planets of our phase
Everything's a sign of my astrology
From where you are, to where I am now is its own galaxy
Be a star and fall down somewhere next to me

04. Samantha Crain - Traipsing Through the Aisles

A web of confusion spun by spiders
Crawling faster towards redemption
See them crawl, see them crawl, see them crawl...
I'm a spinning windmill, turning keys in locks tonight,
But safe inside your arms, I've seen the trees outside a window
I'm lost, I'm lost, I'm lost
And I'm lost inside my home, in my clothes
In the roads, in my own mind
And I know it's not a sign, I just might stop this time
I did something wrong, I did something wrong, I did something wrong

05. Other Lives - Paper Cities

We sent them all across the ocean; many lives were taken
But I didn't cry, I didn't know them
And I just looked on with no expression...
Put down your banners and flags, this war you've made won't last
And your country's just lines on a map
They're drawn up, they don't last
Paper cities burning, the ashes fell like rain
And when the fire was over everything had changed
People come together, reminds us we're the same

06. Bodies of Water - Under the Pines

We all went out underneath the alder tree
And in alder shade we spoke so carefully
But way back against the knotted pines
It was dim, and things grew honest then...
Now all of the tendons of the world are loosed
And in the dark light of pine we spoke the truth
Yes way back, oh things grew honest then
Paths diverge into the boring mist
Under and under and under the pines

07. The Builders and the Butchers - Black Dresses

Little sister there's blood on the tracks
And a lit cigarette but you're not coming back
To a town that was built on black gold and iron hearts...
And she doesn't mourn for a man's come and gone
She's worn the color of black all along
She was born with a stone where there shoulda been a heart
And she wore black dresses, and she never cried in the morning
She's got a bottle and a paper so she can forget her name

08. Kyte - Eyes Lose Their Fire

She smiles, hides, life's about falling
Eyes bloodshot and lost in a mask
They all wait, crowds have been forming
Noise spellbinding out of control
Eyes lose their fire

09. Bon Iver - The Wolves (Act I and II)

Someday my pain, someday my pain
Will mark you
Harness your blame, harness your blame
And walk through
With the wild wolves around you
In the morning, I'll call you
Send it farther on...
What might have been lost -
Don't bother me

10. The Battle of Land and Sea - Saltwater Queen

With the devil peering close by on the street
With a little boy charm and anchors of wide heavy iron at her feet
She whispers and cries in harmonies for her saltwater king
Oh heavy are you my boy with demons in your sleeve
They're trouble placing razors and pins underneath your feet...
You whisper and cry in harmonies for your saltwater queen
