Never Kill a Boy on the First Date





"Strong" by Velvet Chain

Velvet Chain performs this song on-stage in "Never Kill a Boy on the First Date" while Buffy and Owen are sitting on the couch. This song continues playing as they step onto the dance floor and begin dancing. It's from Velvet Chain's Groovy Side album.

"Strong"

I'll be right along
"Cause, baby, you're so strong

Baby, I see
You're vulnerable to me
That's your power over me

Baby, baby, I know
It's always been so
Physical love is oh
So meaningful for you

You write love letters to me
Strong
You know how to talk to me
So strong
Baby, I'm yours
You know
Because you're so
So strong
You're so, so strong

You would fight for me
You would starve for me
You would suffer, suffer for me
You would die for me
Well, I feel the same way too
You know I feel that way about you

I know you're mad about me
You're so mad because you're so
So strong

I know you're mad about me
You're so mad because you're so
So strong
You're so, so strong
You're so, so strong

"Treason" by Velvet Chain

This is the second song that Velvet Chain performs in "Never Kill a Boy on the First Date" while Buffy and Owen dance. Unfortunately, you only get to hear about two lines of this terrific song before the scene changes. This song is also from the Groovy Side album.

"Treason"

I have a window in my mind
I can turn to look right through you
Won't cost you anything but time
To see me feel like you do

Your cold and frozen mind
Locked in a winter season
You only live your life one time
Now you must find a reason

I'm standing in your shoes
I feel your conscience cut right through me
Sensation, oh so cruel
You keep your pain so close and cozy

I see a complicated maze
Debris of dead compassion
A love came like a hurricane
Then left its devastation

While you are breaking down
You're building up your best defenses
And when you finally drown
You'll lose your lover and your senses

I'll be a padding in your cell
An iceberg floating in your hell
You can lean on me
Believe in someone or in something
The sun is shining bright
The sky is blue and waiting for you
Stay inside your darkened room
And all your troubles will consume you
The sun is shining bright
The sky is blue and waiting for you
Stay inside your darkened room
And all your troubles will consume you

Depression is a sin
Your temple is a prison
Tomorrow breaks you down again
Your soul committing treason
Tomorrow breaks you down

Tomorrow breaks you down again
Your soul committing treason
Committing treason

"Rotten Apple" by Three Day Wheely

Cordelia and Owen dance to this song at the Bronze while Buffy watches from afar. This song comes from Three Day Wheely's Rubber Halo album, which is no longer available due to the band's original label going out of business. Lyrics here come from the small portion played in the episode, courtesy of Leslie Remencus.

"Rotten Apple"

It's real
Then you wake up shouting something familiar
Name it's not the same
You're just a girl
Just a girl who knows no shame
Whose desperate pace has lost its taste
And never-ending darkness weighs
I can't avoid, I can't complain
I know exactly who's to blame
This girl who shares my...

"Let the Sun Fall Down" by Kim Richey

This song plays in the background during Buffy's and Owen's parting conversation at the end of "Never Kill a Boy on the First Date". You can find this song on Kim Richey's self-titled debut album, Kim Richey.

"Let the Sun Fall Down"

Close the door and leave the world behind you
Open the window and listen to the breeze blow through the pines
Take a deep breath, what more can you do

Let the sun fall down all around you
Let the night surround you in a blanket of starlight
I'll whisper you a lullaby
Let the sun fall down

That old dark cloud acts like he knows you
He takes up too much time, time you could be spending holding me
But he can't have you now
It's you and me here in this room

Oh, let the sun fall down all around you
Let the night surround you in a blanket of starlight
I'll whisper you a lullaby
Let the sun fall down

The world will keep on turning
It'll all be there come morning
So tonight

Let the sun fall down all around you
Let the night surround you in a blanket of starlight
I'll whisper you a lullaby

Oh, let the sun fall down all around you
Let the night surround you in a blanket of starlight
I'll whisper you a lullaby
Let the sun fall down
