A Sorta Fairytale

on my way up north
up on the ventura
i pulled back the hood
and i was talking to you
and i knew then it would be
a life long thing
but i didn't know that we
we could break a silver lining

and i'm so sad
like a good book
i can't put this day back
a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale
with you

things you said that day
up on the 101
the girl had come undone
i tried to downplay it
with a bet about us
you said that-
you'd take it
as long as i could
i could not erase it

and i'm so sad
like a good book
i can't put this day back
a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale
with you

and i ride along side
and i rode along side
you then
and i rode along side
till you lost me there
in the open road
and i rode along side
till the honey spread
itself so thin
for me to break your bread
for me to take your word
i had to steal it

and i'm so sad
like a good book
i can't put this day back
a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale
with you

i could pick back up
whenever i feel

down new mexico way
something about
the open road
i knew that he was
looking for some indian blood and
find a little in you find a little
in me we may be
on this road but
we're just
impostors
in this country you know
so we go along and we said
we'd fake it
feel better with
oliver stone
till i
almost smacked him -
seemed right that night and
i don't know what
takes hold
out there in the
desert cold
these guys think they must
try and just get over on us

and i'm so sad
like a good book
i can't put this
day back
a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale
with you

and i was ridin' by
ridin' along side
for a while till you lost me
and i was ridin' by
ridin' along till you lost me
till you lost
me in
the rear
view
you lost me
i said

way up north i took my day
all in all was a pretty nice
day and i put the hood
right back where
you could taste heaven
perfectly
feel out the summer breeze
didn't know when we'd be back
and i, i don't
didn't think
we'd end up like
like this

I Want You So Hard (Boy's Bad News)

I want you so hard
I want you so good
But can you trust me?
Yes, you know you could
My friends are talkin'
And they're tellin' you

Don't waste your time cause the boy's bad news

My friends are talkin'
And they're tellin' you

Just leave him alone cause the boy's bad news

I want you so hard
I want you so good
Now take a chance, momma
You know you should
Trust your instincts and let me in
Just be my ride and I'll be my friend
My friends are talkin'
And they're tellin' you

You're wastin' your time, the boy's bad news

My friends are talkin'
And they're tellin' you

Leave him alone, cause it's just bad news

The boy's bad news

Good Friday

I once fell in love with you
Just because the sky turned from gray
Into blue
It was a good friday
The streets were open and empty
No more passion play
On st. Nicholas avenue
I believe in st. Nicholas
Its a different type of santa claus


Cocorosie, "Good Friday"
in La Maison de Mon Rêve (2004)

Union Of The Snake

Telegram force and ready
I knew this was a big mistake.
There's a fine line drawing my senses together,
And I think it's about to break.

If I listen close I can hear them singers, oh oh oh...
Voices in your body coming through on the radio,ho,ho...

The union of the snake is on the climb..
Moving up, it's gonna race, it's gonna break through the borderline

Nightshades on a warning
Give me strength at least give me a light.
Give me anything even sympathy
There's a chance you could be right.

If I listen close I can hear them singers, oh oh oh...
Voices in your body coming through on the radio,ho,ho...

The union of the snake is on the climb..
Moving up, it's gonna race, it's gonna break through the borderline

If I listen close I can hear them singers, oh oh oh...
Voices in your body coming through on the radio,ho,ho...

The union of the snake is on the climb..
It's gonna race it's gonna break -
Gonna move up to the borderline..

The union of the snake is on the climb..
Moving up it's gonna race, it's gonna break through the borderline.

The union of the snake is on the climb
It's gonna race it's gonna break -
Gonna move up to the borderline..

Wishlist

I wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go off
I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on
I wish I was a sentimental ornament you hung on
The Christmas tree, I wish I was the star that went on top
I wish I was the evidence, I wish I was the grounds
For 50 million hands upraised and open toward the sky

I wish I was a sailor with someone who waited for me
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me
I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good
I wish I was the full moon shining off your Camaro's hood

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

I wish I was a radio song, the one that you turned up
I wish...
I wish...

(Pearl Jam)

You've Got To Hide Your Love Away

Here I stand head in hand
Turn my face to the wall
If she's gone I can't go on
Feeling two foot small
Everywhere people stare
each and every day
I can see them laugh at me
And I hear them say

Hey you've got to hide your love away
Hey you've got to hide your love away

How can I even try?
I can never win
Hearing them, seeing them
In the state I'm in
How could she say to me
"Love will find a way?"
Gather round all you clowns
Let me hear you say

Hey you've got to hide your love away
Hey you've got to hide your love away

(The Beatles)

Celebrating The Sun

You came out of my closet
To fuck up with my world
Now I'm afraid to sleep at night
My bed feels so tight

I'm tired of losing my dreams
I guess I can't control my mind
While you're running around in my head
If someone ask where I'll be

I'll be out
Celebrating the sun
I'll be out
Celebrating the sun
I feel I'm about to run run run
I'm celebrating the sun

When you penetrated my skin
I felt like running a thousand miles
But now I wish I'd puncture the skies
So I could feel some warmness again
You painted my picture in grey
Amongst still lifes and sharp knifes

But I just wanna get out
And feel I've got to celebrate
What's left of my sanity
I'll be out
Celebrating the sun
Out
Celebrating the sun
I feel like I'm gonna run run run
I'm celebrating the sun

You've Taken All

Slowly you’re turning away
And I can’t help but say
Slowly my fate is turning

You’ve taken all that I’ve got
You’ve taken all that I’ve got
You’ve taken all that I’ve got to give

Somewhere the road is turning
And I can feel the yearning

You’ve taken all that I’ve got
You’ve taken all that I’ve got
You’ve taken all that I’ve got to give

Slowly our luck is changing
My thoughts are slowly ranging

Slowly our luck is changing
My thoughts are slowly ranging
Slowly you’re turning away
And I can’t help but say

You’ve taken all that I’ve got
You’ve taken all that I’ve got
You’ve taken all that I’ve got to give

Somewhere the road is turning
And I can feel the yearning

You’ve taken all that I’ve got
You’ve taken all that I’ve got
You’ve taken all that I’ve got to give

A Noite Passada

A noite passada acordei com o teu beijo
descias o Douro e eu fui esperar-te ao Tejo
vinhas numa barca que não vi passar
corri pela margem até à beira do mar
até que te vi num castelo de areia
cantavas "sou gaivota e fui sereia"
ri-me de ti "então porque não voas?"
e então tu olhaste
depois sorriste
abriste a janela e voaste

A noite passada fui passear no mar
a viola irmã cuidou de me arrastar
chegado ao mar alto abriu-se em dois o mundo
olhei para baixo dormias lá no fundo
faltou-me o pé senti que me afundava
por entre as algas teu cabelo boiava
a lua cheia escureceu nas águas
e então falámos
e então dissemos
aqui vivemos muitos anos

A noite passada um paredão ruiu
pela fresta aberta o meu peito fugiu
estavas do outro lado a tricotar janelas
vias-me em segredo ao debruçar-te nelas
cheguei-me a ti disse baixinho "olá",
toquei-te no ombro e a marca ficou lá
o sol inteiro caiu entre os montes
e então olhaste
depois sorriste
disseste "ainda bem que voltaste"



Sérgio Godinho, "A Noite Passada"
in Pré-histórias (1972)

Something In The Air

Your coat and hat are gone
I've really can't look at your little empty shelf
A ragged teddy bear
It feels like we never had a chance
Don't look me in the eye

We lay in each others arms
But the room is just an empty space
I guess we've lived it out
Something in the air
We smiled to fast then can't think of a thing to say

Lived with the best times
Left with the worst
I've danced with you too long
Nothing left to save
Let's take what we can
I know you hold your head up high
We've raced for the last time
A place of no return

And there's is something in the air
Something in my eye
I've dance with you too long (yeah)
Something in the air
Something in my eye

Abracadoo, I loose you
We can't avoid the clash
The big mistake
Now we're gonna pay and pay
The sentence of our lives
Can't believe I'm asking you to go

We used what we could
To get the things we want
But we lost each other on the way
I guess you know I never wanted anyone more than you

Lived all our best times
Left with the worst
I've danced with you to long
Say what you will
There's something in the air
Raced for the last time
Well I know you'll hold your head up high
But it's nothing we have to say
There's nothing in our eyes

But there's something in the air
Something in my eye
I've danced with you too long
There's something I have to say
There's something in the air
Something in my eye
Do do do do
Do do do do
I've danced with you too long
Do do do do
Do do do do
Danced with you too long
Do do
Danced with you too long
Something in the air
Something in the air
Do do do do
Do do do do

(David Bowie)

Platna Milosc

Z pozoru chłodny
choć w środku płonę
Idąc bez celu
zmierzam do niej

Nie potrzebuję
Żadnej mapy
Żeby bezbłędnie
do niej trafić

Miłości
bracie się nie kupi
Ten kto to śpiewał
Nie był głupi

Lecz jest uliczka
W moim mieście
Gdzie zawsze można
Kupić szczęście

Płatna miłość
Innej nie znam
Płatna miłość
Poezja

Czasami
gdy na ciebie patrzę
To chciałbym zostać tu
na zawsze

A gdy dotykam
twego łona
To got󷠢yłbym
na nim skonać

A ty żartujesz
ze swego ciała
I m󷩳z:
Ale jestem stara...

Te parę zmarszczek
to drobnostka
Skoro do rana
mogę zostać

Płatna miłość
Innej nie znam
Płatna miłość
Poezja

Grajcie nam, mandoliny!

Miłość jest tania
szybka, prosta
Kto się jej oprze
Kto jej sprosta

Kochając
Nie myślimy o tym
że uzależnia
jak narkotyk

Z pozoru płonę
lecz w środku jestem chłodny
Idąc bez celu
wznoszę modły

Jedno tylko
mogę pragnąć:
Nie daj mi, Panie
Kochać... darmo

Płatna miłość
Innej nie znam
Płatna miłość
Poezja

Płatna miłość
Innej nie znam
Płatna miłość
Poemat

Mandoliny, grajcie! Grajcie..

Peace Train

Now I've been happy lately, thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, something good has begun

Oh I've been smiling lately, dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be, some day it's going to come

Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again

Now I've been smiling lately, thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, something good has begun

Oh peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train
Come on now peace train
Yes, peace train holy roller

Everyone jump upon the peace train
Come on now peace train

Get your bags together, go bring your good friends too
Cause it's getting nearer, it soon will be with you

Now come and join the living, it's not so far from you
And it's getting nearer, soon it will all be true

Now I've been crying lately, thinking about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating, why can't we live in bliss

Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again

(Cat Stevens)

Unfinished Sympathy

I know that I've imagined love before
And how it could be with you
Really hurt me baby, really cut me baby
How can you have a day without a night
You're the book that I have opened
And now I've got to know much more

The curiousness of your potential kiss
Has got my mind and body aching
Really hurt me baby, really cut me baby
How can you have a day without a night
You're the book that I have opened
And now I've got to know much more

Like a soul without a mind
In a body without a heart
I'm missing every part

Flame

I don't want to be the one to rides flame
I don't know her name
And I don't want to go where the seekers all go
I don't want to know
And you can feel anything you wanna feel
And you can feel anything you wanna feel
And call it real
But I don't want to be the one who rides flame
I don't want to be the one who rides flame

I can't complain though i'm wrapped up in chains
I can't complain
Everybody's got the right to be free
But that's not me
And you can feel anything you wanna feel
And you can feel anything you wanna feel
And you can feel anything you wanna feel
And call it real
But I don't want to be the one who rides flame
I don't want to be the one who rides flame

Hit the flame burn a hole in my brain
Never be the same
I try to take it slow but she's pushing me to go
But I don't wanna go
And you can feel everything you wanna feel
And you can feel everything you wanna feel
And you can feel everything you wanna feel
And call it real
But I don't wanna be the one who rides flame
I don't wanna be the one who rides flame
I don't wanna be the one who rides flame
I don't wanna be the one who rides flame
I don't wanna be the one who rides flame
I don't wanna be the one who rides flame
I don't wanna be the one who rides flame
I don't wanna be the one who rides flame

Sugar Water

The velocity of time turns her voice into sugar water
I'm on a concrete way
The wind is blowing to the north-northwest
It smells like sands of the southern island
When a black cat crosses my path
A woman in the moon is singing to the earth
A woman in the moon is singing to the earth

La la la, la la la la la la
La la la, la la la la la la
La la la, la la la la la la
La la la, la la la la la la

Im riding on a camel that has big eyes
The buildings are changing into coconut trees
Little by little
When a black cat crosses my path
A woman in the moon is singing to the earth
A woman in the moon is singing to the earth

La la la, la la la la la la
La la la, la la la la la la
La la la, la la la la la la
La la la, la la la la la la
La la la, la la la la la la
La la la, la la la la la la
La la la, la la la la la la
La la la, la la la la la la

We are taking sugar water shower

Story Of An Artist

listen up and i'll tell a story
about an artist growing old
some would try for fame and glory
others aren't so bold

and everyone in friends and family
sayin "hey go get a job
why do you only do that only
why are you so odd?

"and we dont really like what you do
we dont think anyone ever will
we think you have a problem
and this problem's made you ill"

the artist walks among the flowers
appreciating the sun
he's out there all his waking hours
oh and who's to say he's wrong

but the artist walks alone
and someone says behind his back
"he's got some gall to call himself that
he doesn't even know where he's at"

and they sit in front of their tv
sayin "hey isn't this a lot of fun"
and they laugh at the artist
saying "he don't know how to have fun"

listen up and i'll tell a story
about an artist growin old
some would try for fame and glory
others like to watch the world

Mixed Bizness

I'm mixing business with leather
Christmas with Heather
Freaks flock together
And make all the b-boys scream

All right
Turn it up now
All right
Turn it up now

Word up to the manthing
She's always cold lamping
Visine at the canteen
I just wanna watch you dance

Do you wanna ride on the Baltic Sea
I'll be your mistress C.O.D.
I'll comb your hair
Rewrite your diary
Pour champagne on a honey bee

She can really do me
She can look right through me
And make all the b-boys scream

I'm mixing fitness with leather
Homework with Heather
Freaks flock together
And make all the lesbians scream

All right
Turn it up now
All right
Turn it up now

Original

Sonically we're in control
We're the diamond in your soul
Images come thick and fast
From the future, from the past

The film starts, the film ends,
Nothing is said in between.
Just sudden moments from someone else's story,
Will it ever be the same again?
Hours filled with conversation, no attention paid.
Too distracting convention, no need for friends.
Will it ever be the same again?
Will it ever be the same again?

You're original, with your own path
You're original, got your own way

Will it ever be the same again?
I need to hear that again
Because a dream starts, and a dream must end.

My mother told me, don't ever change
You're original, in your own way
My mother told me, don't ever change
You're original, got your own path

You're original
Will it ever be the same again?
I need to hear that again
Because a dream starts, and a dream must end.

You're original

Cave: That song is kind of a list of atrocities. I write a lot of songs like that, where the basic idea is, "C'mon baby, let's get the fuck out of here!" But I think adding "Man in the Moon" on at the end gave it extra significance. The protagonist has gotten out, and is very much on his own, floating in space. Like a fetus or a lost astronaut.

Fifty-Fifty Clown

I feel rewarded on being so ugly, eh
Oh, and you're a lone shadow
I feel rewarded on being so ugly, eh
Smile and face your wife angry
His life don't despise what's in eyes
He skips so as the seasons
To come as a breeze has
Again, ahead
We'll rust, our nose dust
A fine gard with pleased and, oh its true
Hill can't comfort the brain
He must come as he was
Again, ahead
And this is safe, flowing, love, soul and light
Motions aren't in the shape that emotions are
Good morning myth to somebody I call in light
Motions aren't in the shape that emotions are
And this is safe, flowing, love, soul and light
Motions aren't in the shape that emotions are

Pyramid Song

i jumped in the river and what did I see?
black-eyed angels swimming with me
a moon full of stars and astral cars
all the figures i used to see
all my lovers were there with me
all my past and futures
and we all went to heaven in a little row boat

there was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

The Dull Flame Of Desire

I love your eyes, my dear
Their splendid sparkling fire

When suddenly you raise them so
To cast a swift embracing glance

Like lightning flashing in the sky
But there's a charm that is greater still

When my love's eyes are lowered
When all is fired by passion's kiss

And through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire


Björk (feat. Antony Hegarty), "The Dull Flame of Desire"
in Volta (2007)

How to Fight Loneliness

How to fight loneliness?
Smile all the time

Shine you teeth 'til meaningless
And sharpen them with lies

And whatever's going down
Will follow you around
That's how you fight loneliness

You laugh at every joke

Drag your blanket blindly
And fill your heart with smoke

And the first thing that you want
Will be the last thing you ever need
That's how you fight it

Just smile all the time
Just smile all the time
Just smile all the time
Just smile all the time

Fado

À volta do adro
duas ou três casas
uns bancos vermelhos
ao meio uma cruz
ali um café
ao lado da igreja
uns homens parados
e uma linda luz

com a voz que me resta
eu não vou poder cantar
as coisas do mundo
não sei descrever
estou longe
são portas fechadas
segredos por revelar
são coisas do mundo
só se podem ver
ao longe

sim estou convencido
qu'isto é mesmo assim
que nunca se conta
bem o que se vê
e levo comigo
já sem aprender
o que os olhos vêem
e eu já não sei

com a voz que me resta
eu não vou poder cantar
as coisas do mundo
não sei descrever
estou longe
são portas fechadas
segredos por revelar
são coisas do mundo
só se podem ver
ao longe
ao longe...

Curbside Prophet

i’m just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i’m waiting for my rocket to come
i’m just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i’m waiting for my rocket y'all, hey


ya see it started way back in nyc
when i stole my first rhyme from the m.i.c.
at a west end avenue at 63
the beginning of a leap year, february, ’96
when a guitar picked up in the mix
i committed to the licks like a nickel back of tricks
well look at me now
look at me now
look at me now, now, now, now


i'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i'm waiting for my rocket to come
i'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i'm waiting for my rocket y'all, hey


well you’re never never gonna guess
where i’ve been been been
and i have no regrets
that i bet my whole checking account
because it all amounts to nothing up in the end
well you can only count on the road again
will soon be on the radio dial
and i been payin close attention to the willie nelson style
like a a band of gypsies on the highway while
as i’m a one man wishin on the california skyline
drive up the coast i brag and i boast
because i’m pickin up my pace and makin time like space ghost
raising a toast to the highway patrol with the most
but my cruise control's on coast
cause i'm tourin around the nation on extended vacation
see i got Elsa the dog who exceeds my limitation
i say, i like your style, crazy pound pup
you need a ride? 'woof'
well come on, girl, hop in the truck


with the curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i'm waiting for my rocket to come
i'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i'm waiting for my rocket y'all
i'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i'm waiting for my rocket to come on
i'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i'm waiting for my rocket y'all


see i'm a down home brother, redneck undercover
with my guitar here i'm ready to play
and i'm a sucker for philly
got a natural ability to give the freestyle
look at my flexibility
dangerous on the mic
my ghetto hat's cocked right
all the ladies say, "yo, that kid is crazy"
we got the backstage betties taking more than they can get

they say, "what's up with m-r-a-z?"


hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
something's different in my world today
well they changed my traffic sign to a brighter yellow
hey, hey, something's different in my world today
well they changed my traffic sign to a brighter yellow
i'm just a curbside prophet love
a curbside brother love
a curbside brother love
a curbside oh come on
i'm just a curbside prophet and i'm waiting for my rocket
i'm waiting for my rocket to come

Elephant Gun

If I was young, I'd flee this town
I'd bury my dreams underground
As did I, we drink to die, we drink tonight

Far from home, elephant gun
Let's take them down one by one
We'll lay it down, it's not been found, it's not around

Let the seasons begin - it rolls right on
Let the seasons begin - take the big king down

Let the seasons begin - it rolls right on
Let the seasons begin - take the big king down

And it rips through the silence of our camp at night
And it rips through the night

And it rips through the silence of our camp at night
And it rips through the silence, all that is left is all that i hide

(Beirut)

Stay (Faraway, So Close!)

Green light, Seven Eleven
You stop in for a pack of cigarettes
You don't smoke, don't even want to
Hey now, check your change
Dressed up like a car crash
Your wheels are turning but you're upside down
You say when he hits you, you don't mind
Because when he hurts you, you feel alive
Hey babe, is that what it is

Red lights, gray morning
You stumble out of a hole in the ground
A vampire or a victim
It depend's on who's around
You used to stay in to watch the adverts
You could lip synch to the talk shows

And if you look, you look through me
And when you talk, you talk at me
And when I touch you, you don't feel a thing

If I could stay...
Then the night would give you up
Stay...and the day would keep its trust
Stay...and the night would be enough

Faraway, so close
Up with the static and the radio
With satelite television
You can go anywhere
Miami, New Orleans
London, Belfast and Berlin

And if you listen I can't call
And if you jump, you just might fall
And if you shout, I'll only hear you

If I could stay...
Then the night would give you up
Stay...then the day would keep its trust
Stay...with the demons you drowned
Stay...with the spirit I found
Stay...and the night would be enough

Three o'clock in the morning
It's quiet and there's no one around
Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel runs to ground

Just the bang
And the clatter
As an angel
Hits the ground

U2, "Stay (Faraway, So Close!)"
in Zooropa (1993)

Morning Theft

Time takes care of the wound
So I can believe
You had so much to give
You thought I couldn't see

Gifts for boot heels to crush
Promises deceived
I had to send it away
To bring us back again

Your eyes and body brighten
Silent waters, deep
Your precious daughter in the
Other room, asleep

A kiss "Goodnight" from every
Stranger that I meet
I had to send it away
To bring us back again

Morning theft
Unpretender left
Ungraceful

True self is what
Brought you here, to me
A place where we can
Accept this love

Friendship battered down by
Useless history
Unexamined failure

But what am I still to you
Some thief who stole from you?
Or, some fool drama queen
Whose chances were few?

That brings us to who we need
A place where we can save
A heart that beats as
Both siphon and reservoir

You're a woman, I'm a calf
You're a window, I'm a knife
We come together
Making chance in the starlight

Meet me tomorrow night
Or any day you want
I have no right to wonder
Just how, or when

You know the meaning fits
There's no relief in this
I miss my beautiful friend

I have to send it away
To bring her back again.

(Jeff Buckley)

I Wanna Be Adored

I don't need to sell my soul

The Skin Of My Yellow Country Teeth

Once - The dogs have quit their barking
Son - my neighbor said to me.
Know the emptiness of talking blue
the same old sheep
Run - I'll do no more this walking
Haunted by a past I just can't see
Anymore
Anymore

But let me tell you I have never planned
To let go of the hand that has been
Clinging by its thick country skin
To my yellow country teeth

Far - Far away from West Virginia
I - Will try on New York City
Explaining that the sky holds the
Wind the sun rushes in and a child
With a shotgun can shoot down
Honeybees that sting
But this boy could use a little sting

Who - Will get me to a party?
Who - Do I have yet to meet?
You - You look a bit like coffee
And you taste a bit like me
How - Can I keep me from moving?

Now - I need a change of scenery
Just listen to me I won't pretend to
Understand the movement of the wind
Or the waves out in the ocean or how
Like the hours I change softly slowly
Plainly blindly oh me oh my!

Messages

So come sit down
Will you talk with me now?
Let me see through your eyes
Where there is so much life
We are biding our time
For these myths to unwind
These changes we will confront

So please beware
With every place that you had
Look to your soul
For these things that you know
For the trees that we see
Cannot forever breathe
With the changes they will confront

You know some people
They just wont understand
They just wont understand these things
Thank you for your message
But I don't understand
No, I just wont understand these things

This sacred land it has
Seen many hands, it has
Wealth and gold yet it is
Fragile and old and all the
Greedy souls just don't care to know
Of the changes it will confront

So speak out loud of the
Things you are proud
And if you love this coast
Keep it clean as it evolves
Cos the way that it shines
May just dwindle with time
With the changes it will confront

You know some people
They just wont understand
They just wont understand these things
Thank you for your message
But I don't understand
No, I just wont understand these things
You know some people
They just wont understand
They just wont understand these things
Thank you for your message
But I don't understand
No, I just wont understand these things

So hold nice and close
The ones that get to your soul
So that when it is cold
You wont feel so alone
Cos the roads that you take
May just crack and break
With the changes you will confront

With each gift that you share
You may heal and repair
With each choice that you make
You may help someone's day
Well I know you are strong
May your journey be long
Now I wish you the best of luck
Well I know you are strong
May your journey be long
And now I wish you the best of luck

(Xavier Rudd)

I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself

I just don't know what to do with myself
I don't know what to do with myself
planning everything for two
doing everything with you
and now that we're through
I just don't know what to do

I just don't know what to do with myself
I don't know what to do with myself
movies only make me sad
parties make me feel as bad
cause I'm not with you
I just don't know what to do

like a summer rose
needs the sun and rain
I need your sweet love
to beat love away

well I don't know what to do with myself
just don't know what to do with myself
planning everything for two
doing everything with you
and now that we're through
I just don't know what to do

like a summer rose
needs the sun and rain
I need your sweet love
to beat love away

I just don't know what to do with myself
just don't know what to do with myself
just don't know what to do with myself
I don't know what to do with myself

Misread

If you wanna be my friend
You want us to get along
Please do not expect me to
Wrap it up and keep it there
The observation I am doing could
Easily be understood
As cynical demeanour
But one of us misread...
And what do you know
It happened again

A friend is not a means
You utilize to get somewhere
Somehow I didn't notice
friendship is an end
What do you know
It happened again

How come no-one told me
All throughout history
The loneliest people
Were the ones who always spoke the truth
The ones who made a difference
By withstanding the indifference
I guess it's up to me now
Should I take that risk or just smile?

What do you know
It happened again
What do you know

PYT (Pretty Young Thing)

Where did you come from lady
And ooh won't you take me there
Right away won't you baby
Tenderoni you've got to be
Spark my nature

Won't you come, it's emergency
Cool my fire yearnin'

We can dim the lights
Just to make it right
In the night
Hit the lovin' spot
I'll give you all I've got

I wanna love you (P.Y.T.)

Jeux D'Amour

Coeur, tu est tellement fou
tais-toi, mon coeur perdu

Je n'ai plus rien
q'un seule désir

laisser mon rêve
d'amour partir

viens, mon petit bateau
flotte, comme un berceau

je veux seulement oublier
emballe-moi sous les nuages
doucement vient le soleil
bonheur après le rage

d'amour
toujours
les jeux
d'amour

coeur, fait ton chemin
oublie, tous les chagrins

l'amour est beau
il est partout

il faut chercher
rêver, surtout

viens, encore une fois
prends moi dans tes bras

je veux seulement oublier
emballe-moi sous les nuages
doucement vient le soleil
bonheur après le rage

(Rodrigo Leão, com Helena Noguerra)

By your fairy eyes
Like a tiger in the dark
You were hungry from the start

Be my boy, be my boy

Slow Like Honey

You moved like honey in my dream last night
Yeah, some old fires were burning
You came near to me and you endeared to me
But you couldn't quite discern me

Does that scare you? I'll let you run away
But your heart will not oblige you
You'll remember me like a melody
Yeah, I'll haunt the world inside you

And my big secret - Gonna win you over
Slow like honey, heavy with mood

I'll let you see me, I'll covet your regard
I'll invade your demeanor
And you'll yield to me like a scent in the breeze
And you'll wonder what it is about me

It's my big secret - Keeping you coming
Slow like honey, heavy with mood

Though dreams can be deceiving
Like faces are to hearts
They serve for sweet relieving
When fantasy and reality lie too far apart

So I stretch myself across, like a bridge
And I pull you to the edge
And stand there waiting
Trying to attain
The end to satisfy the story
Shall I release you?
Must I release you?
As I rise to meet my glory

But my big secret
Gonna hover over your life
Gonna keep you reaching
When I'm gone like yesterday
When I'm high like heaven
When I'm strong like music
'Cuz I'm slow like honey, and
Heavy with mood

(Fiona Apple)

Let Me Kiss You

There's a place in the sun, For anyone who has the will to chase one
And I think I've found mine, Yes, I do believe I have found mine, so

Close your eyes, And think of someone, You physically admire
And let me kiss you, Let me kiss you

I've zig-zagged all over America, And I cannot find a safety haven
Say, would you let me cry, On your shoulder
I've heard that you'll will try anything twice

Close your eyes, And think of someone, You physically admire,
And let me kiss you, Let me kiss you

But then you open your eyes, And you see someone, That you physically despise
But my heart is open
My heart is open to you

(Morrissey)

Love You to Death

Não será concerteza o tipo usual do que se ouve mais por estes lados, mas um desafio é e será sempre um desafio....






In her place one hundred candles burning
As salty sweat drips from her breast
Her hips move and I can feel what they're saying, swaying
They say the beast inside of me's gonna get ya, get ya, get...

Black lipstick stains her glass of red wine
I am your servant, may I light your cigarette?
Those lips smooth, yeah I can feel what you're saying, praying
They say the beast inside of me's gonna get ya, get ya, get...

I beg to serve, your wish is my law
Now close those eyes and let me love you to death
Shall I prove I mean what I'm saying, begging
I say the beast inside me's gonna get ya, get ya, get...

Let me love you too
Let me love you to death

Hey am I good enough
for you?
Hey am I good enough
for you?
Am I?
Am I?
Am I good enough
for you?
