5 on Friday - Set 54

Travis at Trav's Thoughts invites everyone to lay down a short set of music that takes their fancies for his 5 on Friday meme.

This week we're playing Travis' Musical Progressions Game. The idea here is to compile a set wherein one track leads into another for a reason that may or may not be obvious.

See if you can guess!

1 - Exogenesis Symphony Pt 1: Overture - Muse

*Just in time for this album's Grammy win for Best Rock Album!*

Why?
Why?
Why?

I can't forgive you
And I can't forget

- Matthew Bellamy



2 - Long Road to Ruin - Foo Fighters

One flag was taken down
To raise another in its place

A heavy cross you bear
A stubborn heart remains unchanged
No home, no life, no love
No stranger singing in your name

- Grohl / Hawkins / Mendel / Shiflett



3 - Polly - Nirvana

Polly wants a cracker
Think I should get off her first
I think she wants some water
To put out the blow torch

Isn't me
Have a seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings

- Cobain / Grohl / Novoselic



4 - Letter to God - Courtney Love

I never wanted to be
The person you see
But thank you

Oh God, please tell me now
Are you disappointed? Are you proud?
Haven't I done everything?
Everything?

I'm so sorry I'm so weak
And I turned into a freak
But I don't know anything
Anything

- Linda Perry



5 - Tonight, Tonight - Smashing Pumpkins

The indescribable moments of your life
The impossible is possible, tonight
Believe in me as I believe in you, tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight

- Billy Corgan



Note: The meanderings of my mind on this musical progression will be posted on Tuesday.
