The Thorn of Camorr is said to be an unbeatable swordsman, a master thief, a friend to the poor, a ghost that walks through walls.
Slightly built and barely competent with a sword, Locke Lamora is, much to his annoyance, the fabled Thorn. And while Locke does indeed steal from the rich (who else would be worth stealing from?), the poor never see a penny. All of Locke's gains are strictly for himself and his tight-knit band of thieves: The Gentlemen Bastards.
(There may or may not be spoilers as the only way I'll explain my song choices is through the lyric extracts. Either way, I recommend reading the book first!)

Be Back Soon // Oliver [download]
[Boys]
It's him that pays the piper.
It's us that pipes his tune
So long, fare thee well
Pip! Pip! Cheerio!
We'll be back soon.
[Fagin]
You can go
But be back soon
You can go,
But bring back plenty
Of pocket hankerchiefs
And you should be clever thieves.
Whip it quick,
and be back soon
There's a sixpence here for twenty
Ain't that a lovely tune?
Burn This City // Cartel [download]
Stay up all night and sleep all day,
We were smart kids with too much to say,
and so, so sure that they were missing out.
They're the ones who are missing out
We were elemental, talked down to bare essentials.
Who knew we'd get so far?
Cause our days were numbered by nights on too many rooftops.
They said we'd burn so bright.
We burn this city and go.
Fame < Infamy // Fallout Boy [download]
I’m a preacher sweating in the pew
For the salvation I’m bringing you
I’m a salesman, I’m selling you hooks and plans
And my sales are making demands
[...]
Signing off "I’m alright in bed but I’m better with a pen"
The kid was alright but it went to his head
Over and Over // Three Days Grace [download]
I know what's best for me
But I want you instead
I'll keep on wasting all my time
Over and over, over and over
I fall for you
Over and over, over and over
I try not to
Over and over, over and over
You make me fall for you
Over and over, over and over
You don't even try to
We Are the Music Makers // Scarling [download]
We are the music makers, the lovers and the breeders
And we are the new risk takers
The narcissistic feeders
Well, we kiss like painted tigers
But we bleed like no one else
Cause, we are the music makers
Consumed with just ourselves
I wake up every morning and feel like a statistic
You say go go stop no go
It's your prickly aggression - That makes me optimistic
You say go go stop no go
Us // Regina Spektor [download]
They'll name a city after us
And later say it's all our fault
Then they'll give us a talking to
Then they'll give us a talking to
Because they've got years of experience
We're living in a den of thieves
Rummaging for answers in the pages
We're living in a den of thieves
And it's contagious
[...]
We wear our scarves just like a noose
But not 'cause we want eternal sleep
Heart Problems // Ted Leo & The Pharmacists [download]
If there's no money in your left hand
You could be pulled apart
You think it's more than just a cold?
[...]
I know we won't live forever
But oh, wouldn't you like to live them down?
[...]
You got a problem with the times
Your problems sound a lot like mine
They tell you "Crime, it doesn't pay"
But they'll make us pay to be victimized
No Bravery // James Blunt [download]
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
Fathers lost without a trace.
A nation blind to their disgrace,
Since he's been here.
And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
Bullet Theory // Funeral for a Friend [download]
It's over, it's only over
It's only over when we say
The smoke and mirrors
The lies that wind your tongue
Is this oppression what we wanted or what we needed?
As we function on impatience
And our patience is wearing thin
And you live a lie that will destroy us all
I'm Taking You With Me // Relient K [download] (wma)
I made a habit
Of never making promises
That aren't easy to keep
And there you have it
From now I'll make you one that is
To keep you here with me
