UNDERDOG. James T. Kirk.
     a pre-enterprise mini-mix.


o1. third eye blind, my hit and run

feeling the speed through the intersection, sheets of rain,
hands in gloves grip handlebars. ride alone to the pub in the dark.
i can't turn, i make contact, blinkers smash into mosaic, then i
start flying. always think we get more time, now living, maybe dying,
don't we always wish we had more time.

o2. smile empty soul, silhouettes

silhouettes above the cradle hold me down, they won't let me go
the wrong way. my mother taught me all the fables, but i don't wanna live
like my mother, i don't wanna let fear rule my life. and i don't wanna live
like my father, i don't wanna give up before i die. his good intentions
leave me shaking, show me how i don't ever want to end up like he did.

03. kasabian, underdog

love in technicolor, sprayed out on walls, well i've been pounding
the pavement 'til there's nothing at all. i got my cloak and dagger
in a bar room brawl, see the local loves a fighter, loves a winner to fall.
feels like i'm lost in a moment. i'm always losing to win. i'm the underdog,
live my life on a lullaby. kill me if you dare, hold my head up everywhere.

o4. cobra starship, being from jersey means never having to say you're sorry

and can you hear me now? that i'm dumbing myself down, am i filling you
with doubt? that i am who you thought, 'cause i know it's just a game but
i'm playing to win. i won't forget where i came but it's time to take over,
oh yeah. i'm tired of waiting, i'm tired of being a poor cliche and misunderstood.
this tune it can fade 'cause i can't think anymore...

o5. snow patrol, chocolate

this could be the very minute i'm aware i'm alive. with a name i've never chosen,
i can make my first steps as a child of 25. this is the straw, final staw
in the roof of my mouth. on my knees i think clearer. what have i done?
it's too late for that. what have i become? truth is nothing, yet.

o6. nsync, space cowboy

is this the beginning or the beginning of the end? well i've got other
thoughts, my friends. see i've got my eyes on the skies, the heavenly bodies
of light. and if you're in the mood to take a ride, then strap on the suit
and get inside. if you wanna fly, come and take a ride, take a space ride
with a cowboy, baby.

[masterlist of mixes]

a/n: kasabian's 'underdog' totally made me think of reboot!kirk, so i had to make a mix around it -- so this mix focuses on everything leading up to when jim joins starfleet/turns his life around. (and yes, there is nsync in it. IT'S ODDLY FITTING.) i have a few other star trek mixes i'm working on (AOS & TOS), including an AOS kirk/spock that starts with cobra starship's 'i kissed a boy' (I KISSED A BOY JUST TO START SHIT) because it's perfect for their ambiguous animosity. =D anyway, enjoy!

and remember, it's good form to leave a comment! and really encourages me (:
