    Là-bas (novel)

    Là-Bas, translated as Down There or The Damned, is a novel by the French writer Joris-Karl Huysmans, first published in 1891. It is Huysmans' most famous work after À rebours. Là-Bas deals with the subject of Satanism in contemporary France, and the novel stirred a certain amount of controversy on its first appearance. It is the first of Huysmans' books to feature the character Durtal, a thinly disguised portrait of the author himself, who would go on to be the protagonist of all of Huysmans' subsequent novels: En route, La cathédrale and L'oblat.

    Là-Bas was first published in serial form by the newspaper L'Écho de Paris, with the first installment appearing on February 15, 1891. It came out in book form in April of the same year; the publisher was Tresse et Stock. Many of L'Écho de Paris' more conservative readers were shocked by the subject matter and urged the editor to halt the serialisation, but he ignored them. Sale of the book was prohibited from French railway stations.

    Lullabies

    by: All Time Low

    Make it a sweet, sweet goodbye
    It could be for the last time and it's not right
    "Don't let yourself get in over your head", he said
    "Alone and far from home I'll find you"
    Sad like a candle you burnt out
    Spill the wax over the spaces left in place of angry words
    Scream to be heard like you needed any more attention
    Throw the bottle, break the door and disappear
    Sing me to sleep
    I'll see you in my dreams
    Waiting to say, "I miss you, I'm so sorry"
    Forever's never seemed so long as when you're not around
    It's like a piece of me is missing
    I could have learned so much from you but what's left now?
    Don't you realize you showed this family a world of pain?
    Can't you see this could have been a happy ending we let go?
    Sing me to sleep
    I'll see you in my dreams
    Waiting to say, "I miss you, I'm so sorry"
    Sing me to sleep
    Sing me to sleep
    Sing me to sleep
    Sing me to sleep
    Sing me to sleep
    (You've taken so much with you)
    I'll see you in my dreams
    (But why you left the worst with me?)
    Waiting to say, "I miss you, I'm so sorry
    I'm sorry, I'm sorry"
