In Another Time

You'll be surprised girl,
Soon they will mean nothing to you
They will fall into their own
And take some of the boys with them to
There's nothing
Nothing that you have to do

In another time girl
Tears won't leave a trace
In another time girl
In another place

You've been down girl,
There were those who put stones in your face
So tired of waiting
For something to change

They don't know what to do with
Something so good
But you wouldn't hurt them,
You wouldn't hurt them if you could
On of these days they gonna fall into their world
And they will know exactly what they did to you

Darling I just want you to know
Your tears won't leave a trace,
In another time girl,
In another time girl
In another place

(Sade)

Zebra

You know you're gold, you don't gotta worry none
Oasis child, born and so wild
Don't I know you better than the rest
All deception, all deception from you

Your love is stag in the white sand
Wilderness for miles, eyes so mild and wise
Don't I know you better than the rest
All deception, all deception from you

Any way you run, you run before us
Black and white horse arching among us

Your love is stag in the white sand
Oasis child born into a man
Don't I know you better than the rest
All deception, all deception from you

Wilderness for miles, eyes so mild and wise
Oasis child, born and so wild
Don't I know you better than the rest
All deception, all deception from you

Any way you run, you run before us
Black and white horse arching among us

A Teenager In Love

NOW YOU GO UNSEEN, PERFECT YOU’LL STAY HIDDEN
AND I CAN DREAM OF THINGS YOU’LL NEVER SEE
ALLI PLEASE, IF YOU ARE BRAVER THAN THE REST,
THERE’S LITTLE LEFT THAT COULD DISPUTE YOUR CLAIM

AND WHEN YOU’D FINALLY GONE,
HE TELLS ME “SHE WAS DEAD ALL ALONG”
HE WAS WRONG, HE HADN’T LIVED A DAY
THE WAY YOU LIVED YOUR FINAL DAYS
A TEENAGER IN LOVE WITH CHRIST AND HEROIN

NOW YOU FEEL ASHAMED
BUT HE FEELS NOTHING OF THE KIND
HE TALKS OF THINGS HE WOULDN’T MIND TO TRY SOMETIME,
BUT YOU’VE GOT LITTLE LEFT TO GIVE
HIS TOUCH IS NOT A THING YOU’LL EVER MISS

AND WHEN YOU’D FINALLY GONE,
HE TELLS ME “SHE WAS DEAD ALL ALONG”
HE WAS WRONG, HE HADN’T LIVED A DAY
THE WAY YOU LIVED YOUR FINAL DAYS
A TEENAGER IN LOVE WITH CHRIST AND HEROIN

AND IF YOU MADE A STAND,
I’D STAND WITH YOU ‘TIL THE END
BUT YOU DON’T NEED A FRIEND WHEN YOU’RE
A TEENAGER IN LOVE WITH CHRIST AND HEROIN

(The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart)

Paradise Circus

It's unfortunate that when we feel a storm
we can roll ourselves over 'cause we're uncomfortable
oh where the devil makes us sin
but we like it when we're spinning in his grip.

Love is like a sin my love
For the one that feels it the most
Look at her with a smile like a flame
She will love you like a fly will never love you, again

It's unfortunate that when we feel a storm
we can roll ourselves over when we're uncomfortable
oh well the devil makes us sin
but we like it when we're spinning in his grip.

You've Changed

Stealing hearts was your pastime
I saw girls falling hook line
You stole kisses and threw them aside
Hits and misses your love-side

You’ve changed for the better
You’ve changed for the better

Making waves was your hobby
And I asked you to hold me
And I knew it
You do it in front of the world
And I’ll end up different from the other girls

You’ve changed for the better
You’ve changed for the better

(Sia)

My Body Is A Cage

My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key

I'm standing on the stage
Of fear and self-doubt
It's a hollow play
But they'll clap anyway

My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key

I'm living in an age
That calls darkness light
Though my language is dead
Still the shapes fill my head

I'm living in an age
Whose name I don't know
Though the fear keeps me moving
Still my heart beats so slow

My body is a cage
We take what we're given
Just because you've forgotten
Doesn't mean you're forgiven

I'm living in an age
Still turning in the night
But when I get to the doorway
There's no one in sight

I'm living in an age
They're laughing, I'm dancing
With the one I love
But my mind holds the key

Still next to me
My mind holds the key
Set my spirit free

(Peter Gabriel)

Casamento

É casamento junto à fonte das lezírias
É casamento no altar de S. João
É casamento porque a avó anda doente
É casamento porque sim e porque não
É casamento porque os tempos são modernos
É casamento porque eu gosto mais de ti
É casamento porque nem me és indiferente
É casamento porque o padre não se ri
É casamento que amanhã estou ocupado
É casamento para o tio se embebedar
É casamento que o solteiro fica velho
É casamento que anda tudo pra casar
É casamento anunciado de repente
É casamento preparado ao pormenor
É casamento mesmo em cima do joelho
É casamento na feira de Rio Maior

É casamento porque te amo há muito tempo
É casamento porque ontem te conheci
É casamento que a pensão fechou pra férias
É casamento desde a hora em que eu te vi
É casamento já que hoje ninguém casa
É casamento pra alegrar a minha mãe
É casamento porque és linda como a lua
É casamento que eu não quero mais ninguém

Meu amor há mil formas de ser louco
E três formas de ser feliz
Mas no fim só haverá um casamento
E é contigo, algo me diz

É casamento na igreja da tasquinha
É casamento até nas portas do sol
É casamento pra vestir uma gravata
É casamento pra estrear um bom lençól
É casamento porque foste a escolhida
É casamento porque fazes muito bem
É casamento pra acabar com as raparigas
É casamento na rotunda do Cacém

Meu amor há mil formas de ser louco
E três formas de ser feliz
Mas no fim só haverá um casamento
E é contigo, algo me diz

(Diabo na Cruz)

Paper Kite

I'll be right outside
Floating by like a paper kite
I'm caught up in your string
Lucky enough to be in your tree

And you'll never float too long

The birds watch as I sing
Waiting around for scissor teeth
And I could be of use
One more knot in a prisoner's noose

And you'll never float too long

And you'll never float too long
And you'll never float too long

What Kind of Heart

WHAT KIND OF HEART
WOULD A BLIND MAN CHOOSE
WOULD A BLIND MAN CHOOSE

WHAT'S BETTER TO WEAR
IN THE DARK FOR LOVE
IN THE DARK FOR LOVE

THAN A WOODEN GLOVE
TIED BEHIND YOUR BACK
TIED BEHIND YOUR BACK

WHERE ITS FINGERS CLACK
WHERE ITS FINGERS CLACK

WHAT KIND OF HEART
WOULD A BLIND MAN CHOOSE
WOULD A BLIND MAN CHOOSE

This Tornado Loves You

MY LOVE I AM THE SPEED OF SOUND
I LEFT THEM MOTHERLESS, FATHERLESS
THEIR SOULS DANGLING INSIDE-OUT FROM THEIR MOUTHS...
BUT IT'S NEVER ENOUGH
I WANT YOU

I CARVED YOUR NAME ACROSS THREE COUNTIES
AND GROUND IT IN WITH BLOODY HIDES
BROKEN NECKS WILL LINE THE DITCH
TILL YOU "STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP THIS MADNESS!"
I WANT YOU

I HAVE WAITED WITH A GLACIER'S PATIENCE
SMASHED EVERY TRANSFORMER WITH EVERY TRAILER
TILL NOTHING WAS STANDING
SIXTY-FIVE MILES WIDE

BUT STILL YOU ARE NOWHERE, STILL YOU ARE NOWHERE, NOWHERE IN SIGHT
COME OUT TO MEET ME, RUN OUT TO MEET ME
COME INTO THE LIGHT

CLIMB THE BOXCARS TO THE ENGINE
THROUGH THE SMOKE AND TO THE SKY

YOUR RAILS HAVE ALWAYS OUTRUN MINE SO I
I PICKED THEM UP AND CRASHED THEM DOWN
IN A MOMENT CLOSE TO NOW
CAUSE I MISS, I MISS, I MISS, I MISS
HOW YOU'D SIGH YOURSELF TO SLEEP
WHEN I'D RAKE THE SPRINGTIME ACROSS YOUR SHEETS

MY LOVE I AM THE SPEED OF SOUND
I LEFT THEM MOTHERLESS, FATHERLESS
THEIR SOULS DANGLING INSIDE-OUT FROM THEIR MOUTHS...
BUT IT'S NEVER ENOUGH

MY LOVE, I'M AN OWL ON THE SILL IN THE EVENING
BUT MORNING FINDS YOU
STILL WARM AND BREATHING
THIS TORNADO LOVES YOU, WHAT WILL MAKE YOU BELIEVE ME?

Seven

I've got a friend who I've known since I was seven
We use to talk on the phone, if we have time, if it's the right time

Accompany me by the kitchen sink
We talk about love, we talk about dishwasher tablets, illness
And we dream about heaven

I know it, I think I know it from a hymn
They've said so, it doesn't need more explanation
A box to open up with light and sound
Making you cold
Very cold

I leave home at seven
Under a heavy sky, I ride my bike up, I ride my bike down

November smoke and your toes go numb
A new colour on the Globe
It goes from white to red, a little voice in my head says oh, oh, oh

I know it, I think I know it from a hymn
They've said so, it doesn't need more explanation
A box to open up with light and sound
And if you don't
You're on your own


(Fever Ray)

Hideaway

Hideaway
Well they'll seat us in the sun
By the way
Know you've always been the one

You'll ask your reasons why
What once was yours is mine
My baby's gone

Ride away
Gonna take me from my man
By the way
No they'll never understand

We'll have a bit of fun
Watching everyone pass us by

You'll ask your reason why
What once was yours is mine
My baby's gone

Hideaway
Well they'll seat us in the sun
By the way
Know you've always been the one

You'll ask your reasons why
What once was yours is mine
My baby's gone

Ride away
Gonna take me from my man
By the way
No they'll never understand

We'll have a bit of fun
Watching everyone pass us by

You'll ask your reason why
What once was yours is mine
My baby's gone

Quarto 210

Hoje preciso de um pois,
preciso de um sim.
O que é que queres de mim,
hoje sinto-me assim.
Ecos de risos,
sinfonias de gritos.
Como sangue na barriga de mosquitos.
Hoje preciso de mim.
Mostra o teu jogo.
Eu pago para ver.

Tupelo

Looka yonder! Looka yonder!
Looka yonder! A big black cloud come!
O comes to Tupelo. Comes to Tupelo.

Yonder on the horizon.
Stopped at the mighty river and
Sucked the damn thing dry.
Tupelo-o-o, O Tupelo.
In a valley hides a town called Tupelo.

Distant thunder rumble. Rumble hungry like the Beast.
The Beast it cometh. Cometh down. Wo wo wo-o-o.
Tupelo bound. Tupelo-o-o. Yeah Tupelo.
The Beast it cometh. Tupelo bound.

Why the hen won't lay no egg.
Cain't get that cock to crow.
The nag is spooked and crazy.
O God help Tupelo! O God help Tupelo!

Ya can say these streets are rivers.
Ya can call these rivers streets.
Ya can tell ya self ya dreaming buddy.
But no sleep runs this deep.
No! No sleep runs this deep.
Women at their windows
Rain crashing on the pane
Writing in the frost
Tupelos' shame. Tupelo's shame.
O God help Tupelo! O God help Tupelo!

O go to sleep lil children
The sandmans on his way.
O go to sleep lil children.
The sandmans in his way.
But the lil children know
They listen to the beating of their blood.

They listen to the beating of their blood.
The sandman's mud!
The sandman's mud!
And the black rain come down.
Water water everywhere.
Where no bird can fly no fish can swim.
No fish can swim
Until The King is born!
Until The King is born!
In Tupelo! Tupelo-o-o!
Til The King is born in Tupelo!

In a clap-board shack with a roof of tin.
Where the rain came down and leaked within.
A young mother frozen on a concrete floor.
With a bottle and a box and a cradle of straw.
Tupelo-o-o! O Tupelo!
With a bottle and a box and a cradle of straw.

Well Saturday gives what Sunday steals.
And a child is born on his brothers heels.
Come Sunday morn the first-born dead.
In a shoebox tied with a ribbon of red.
Tupelo-o-o! Hey Tupelo!
In a shoebox tied with a ribbon of red.

O ma-ma rock you lil one slow.
O ma-ma rock your baby.
O ma-ma rock your lil one slow.
O God help Tupelo! O God help Tupelo!
Mama rock your lil one slow.
The lil one will walk on Tupelo.
Tupelo-o-o! Yeah Tupelo!
And carry the burden of Tupelo.
Tupelo-o-o! O Tupelo! Yeah!
The King will walk on Tupelo!
Tupelo-o-o! O Tupelo!
He carried the burden outa Tupelo!
Tupelo-o-o! Hey Tupelo!
You will reap just what you sow.

Reckoner

Reckoner
You can't take it with yer
Dancing for your pleasure

You are not to blame for
Bittersweet distractor
Dare not speak it's name
Dedicated to all human beings

Because we separate like ripples on a blank shore
In rainbows
Because we separate like ripples on a blank shoree

Reckoner
Take me with yer
Dedicated to all human beings

Musician, Please Take Heed

I'm all alone, this is a holiday
Some bloody holiday
My friends have gone away
They're of the temporary sort, I think
I will be better without
As long as you let me out

To taste the air beside the river
I pick the soundtrack with immaculate care
Such a lot rests upon it
My life upon a song
You don't know how much I need
Musician, please take heed

I thought I might just write a letter
Anything to stay away
From books and lessons today
Besides it's part of my induction
Into the literate world
I am a literate girl

I string the words together softly
I lay my love upon you with each line
A gift of improvising
Removes me from revising
I made a daisy chain from
Phrase, verse, and punctuation

I'll kick this mood off with a change of scene
I bought a liatard and go to the gym
I couldn't get away with wearing in my sweater
But I lost a lot of weight
I think it's down to leaving meat out of my diet as a rule
I won't buy it 'cause it's cruel

And if the nighttime threatens me with pain
I will give in to lust
I will do what I must
I've got a number of a girl I know
Who gets hallucinogens from a pair of hooligans

I'll take a dose, I don't mind trying
She lets me stay there while I leave the ground
Oh episodes of mind her
I snuggle up beside her
Think that I'll stay til morning
She's got me started yawning...

(God Help The Girl)

Your Hand in Mine

Domingo, Dezembro 27, 2009

Muda que Muda

Tanta gente sente medo de mudar
Temendo que a aparência perca o seu lugar
E ao tentar mexer com parecidos há em nós
É breve o silêncio até que se erga uma voz
O professor ou do senhor doutor

Nunca se chega a entender a totalidade
E o prazer de não saber vem só com a alta idade
Quem diz tudo saber não merece o benefício
Nem mesmo o homem que se ocupa de um só ofício
A consonância veste a ignorância

Vou andando
Sem dizer adeus
Bem-vinda próxima paragem
Ai Jesus que lá vou eu
Nunca mais me vão ver aqui
Se perguntarem diz que já morri

A pior raça é a de quem vive atrás da coerência
Vê na verdade matemática e no céu ciência
Ser tão pouco agora como já se era antes
É fruto da coerência em certos bons estudantes
Se é p'ra mentir, é p'ra mentir

E ter coragem de mudar é saber enfrentar
Que quando formos para outro lado não vamos voltar
Ter o sorriso pronto para a qualquer momento
Saber que faltámos ao tal grande acontecimento
Se é p'ra mudar, é p'ra perder

Vou andando
Sem dizer adeus
Bem-vinda próxima paragem
Ai Jesus que lá vou eu
Nunca mais me vão ver aqui
Se perguntarem diz que já morri

Vou a caminho do nada
Entrem comigo

(João Coração)
