Something Automatic: A 90s Fanmix for SyFy's Alice

[wanderamaranth]

Created originally as a pinch-hit gift (that turned out to be unneeded) for the AiW Holiday Gift Exchange for azuremonkey .

For one reason or another, SyFy's Alice seems to be set in the 90's to me. Hence the fanmix made of 90s songs.

 

Wax Ecstatic -- Sponge

Here's something that is automatic
It's wax ecstatic
When life is nothing less than tragic
It's wax ecstatic

Throw all your troubles away
You have nothing left you want to save
With this circus you'll need nothing more
And all your troubles walk out the door
And it all is just a phone call away

Referencing the "shiny little pearls" that are extracted from the Oysters, and how they are used by the residents of Wonderland.

The Perfect Drug -- Nine Inch Nails

My blood just wants to say hello to you
My fear is warm to get inside of you
My soul is so afraid to realize
How very little bit is left of me

Take me with you (home)
Take me with you (home)
Without you everything falls apart
(Without you) It's not as much fun to pick up the pieces

Hatter, and his immediate attraction and desire to assist Alice.

Leader of Men -- Nickelback

Tell your friends not to think out loud
Until they swallow
Whisper things into my brain
Your voice sounds so hollow
I am not a leader of men
Since I prefer to follow
Do you think I could have a drink
Since it's so hard to swallow?

Hatter again; him facing his dependence on the emotion tea, and why it is that he runs a tea shop instead of outright joining the resistance.

Wishlist -- Pearl Jam

I wish I was an alien at home behind the sun
I wish I was the souvienor you kept your house key on
I wish I was the pedal break that you depended on
I wish I was the verb 'to trust' and never let you down

Hatter once again; his thoughts on Alice.

Lemon Parade -- Tonic

I wish I'd seen you as a little girl
Without your armor to fend off the world
I would have kept you underneath my wing
I would protect you from everything

This mix was overtaken by Hatter-ness; once again, his thoughts on Alice and her seeming inability to trust him.

Valentine -- Shades Apart

Just like Roman Holiday
A princess and a schemer
Killing an ordinary day
Any way they choose

~

Valentine, say the line
We can be famous for tonight
Superstar, there you are
Bigger than life in black and white
Valentine, say the line
We can just leave it all behind
Say the line, my valentine

Alice and Hatter's relationship; can be taken from either her or his POV.
