Horse And I

Got woken in the night,
by a mystic golden light.
My head soaked in river water.
I had been dressed in a coat of armor. They called a horse out of the woodland.
"Take her there, through the desert shores."
They sang to me, "This is yours to wear. You're the chosen one, there's no turning back now."

The smell of redwood giants.
The banquet for the shadows.
Horse and I, we're dancers in the dark.
Came upon the headdress.
It was gilded, dark and golden.
The children sang.
I was so afraid I took it to my head and prayed.
They sang to me, "This is yours to wear. You're the chosen one, there's no turning back."
They sang to me, "This is yours to wear. You're the chosen one, there's no turning back."

There is no turning back.
There is no turn.
There is no turning back.
There is no turn.
There is no turning back.
There is no turn

(Bat For Lashes)

You Are The Light

Yeah I got busted
so I used my one phone call to dedicate
a song to you on the radio

Yeah I got busted
in custody I imagined our melody
being played on a grand piano

I saw your face in front of me
it was perfect clarity
I saw a light in the end of the tunnel

And it was you
'cause you are the light by which I travel into this and that
you are the light
you are the light by which I travel into this and that

Yeah I got busted
I painted a dirty word on your old man's Mercedes Benz 'cause you told me to do it

Yeah I got busted
but soon they released me cause the cops were sad
and they didn't know how to prove it

I saw your face in front of me
it was perfect clarity
I saw a light in the end of the tunnel

And it was you
'cause you are the light by which I travel into this and that
you are the light
you are the light by which I travel into this and that

It's all so obvious, so obvious
why would anyone need a map or a compass
It's so beautiful to be guided by you

'Cause you are the light
you are the light by which I travel into this and that
You are the light
you are the light by which I travel into this and that

You are the light, light
You are the light, light

Roosterspur Bridge

Somewhere Down Past Roosterspur Bridge
Perhaps Just A Trick Of The Light
I Thought I Heard The Sweetest Guitar
Was It A Rock And Roll Jesus

Sometimes I Think
I Think I Understand
The Fear In The Boy
The Fire In The Man
Sometimes I Watch
The Wonder In Your Eyes
That And You Leaving
I Have Memorized
That And You Leaving
I Have Memorized

Drove All Night Through Sliding Rock Falls
Thinking I'd Find Something That We'd Lost
Can't Remember When You Stopped Laughing
Or When I Stopped Wanting To Win

Sometimes I Think
I Think I Understand
The Fear In The Boy
The Fire In The Man
Sometimes I Watch
The Wonder In Your Eyes
That And You Leaving

I Have Memorized
Do You Even See Me Now
Do You Think Of Us Still
Do I Always Read Things In
Before A Day's Deliverance
On Roosterspur Bridge

Sometimes I Think
I Think I Understand
The Fear In The Boy
The Fire In The Man
Sometimes I Watch
The Wonder In Your Eyes
That And You Leaving
I Have Memorized
That And You Leaving
That And You Leaving
I Have Memorized

(Tori Amos)

Do You Believe In Rapture?

Stand behind his drunken imp
Stand behind his light of love
Hear him yell his bloody tongue
Hear him yell of blood and war

Do you believe in his sweet sensation?
Do you believe in second chance?
Do you believe in rapture, babe?

A terrible hit strikes today
A terrible hit for the parade
Burning eyes see Jesus coming
Jesus comes to pave the way

Do you believe in his sweet sensation?
Do you believe in second chance?
Do you believe in rapture, babe?

Can you tell me what to feel?
Open up your tender soul
Can I drink your drunken mercy?
Wine burns the devil's home

Do you believe in his sweet sensation?
Do you believe in second chance?
Do you believe in rapture, babe?

(Sonic Youth)

Estrela do Mar

Numa noite em que o céu tinha um brilho mais forte
E em que o sono parecia disposto a não vir
Fui estender-me na praia, sózinho, ao relento
E ali longe do tempo, acabei por dormir

Acordei com o toque suave de um beijo
E uma cara sardenta encheu-me o olhar
Ainda meio a sonhar perguntei-lhe quem era
Ela riu-se e disse baixinho: estrela do mar

"Sou a estrela do mar só a ele obedeço
Só ele me conhece, só ele sabe quem sou
No princípio e no fim
Só a ele sou fiel e é ele quem me protege
Quando alguém quer à força
Ser dono de mim..."

Não sei se era maior o desejo ou o espanto
Só sei que por instantes deixei de pensar
Uma chama invisível incendiou-me o peito
Qualquer coisa impossível fez-me acreditar

Em silêncio trocámos segredos e abraços
Inscrevemos no espaço um novo alfabeto
Já passaram mil anos sobre o nosso encontro
Mas mil anos são pouco ou nada para a estrela do mar

"Estrela do mar
Só a ele obedeço
Só ele me conhece, só ele sabe quem sou
No princípio e no fim
Só a ele sou fiel e é ele quem me protege
Quando alguém quer à força
Ser dono de mim..."

(Jorge Palma)

Valentine

Hold me
In your arms
May they keep me
Sing me
A lullaby
Cause I'm sleepy
I'm scared you don't need me anymore

Bring me
To the light
Of the morning
Take me
Through this night
Til the dawning
For I see a warning in your eyes

Don't need no valentines, no, no
Don't need no roses
Cause it just takes me back in time, no, no
Now you're not here

Hold me
Just tonight
Sleep will tend me
Save me
From lonely hours
There's so many
And I won't get any sleep tonight

Don't need no valentines, no, no
Don't need no roses
Cause it just takes me back in time, no, no
Now you're not here
Anymore
Not anymore

Don't need no valentines, no, no
Don't need no roses
Cause it just takes me back in time, no, no
When you left me lonely
And I won't drink no aged wine, no, no
Now you're not here
Anymore
Not anymore
Not anymore
Not anymore

(Richard Hawley)

Cripple And The Starfish

Mr. Muscle forcing bursting
Stingy thingy into little me, me, me
But just "ripple" said the cripple
As my jaw dropped to the ground
Smile smile

It's true I always wanted love to be
Hurtful
And it's true I always wanted love to be
Filled with pain
And bruises

Yes, so Cripple-Pig was happy
Screamed " I just completely love you!
And there's no rhyme or reason
I'm changing like the seasons
Watch! I'll even cut off my finger
It will grow back like a Starfish!
It will grow back like a Starfish!
It will grow back like a Starfish!"

Mr. Muscle, gazing boredly
And he checking time did punch me
And I sighed and bleeded like a windfall
Happy bleedy, happy bruisy

I am very happy
So please hit me
I am very happy
So please hurt me

I am very happy
So please hit me
I am very very happy
So come on hurt me

I'll grow back like a Starfish
I'll grow back like a Starfish
I'll grow back like a Starfish
I'll grow back like a Starfish

I'll grow back like a Starfish
I'll grow back like a Starfish
I'll grow back like a Starfish
I'll grow back like a Starfish
Like a Starfish...

(Antony And The Johnsons)

Desert Sunrise

a desert sunrise, you warm my soul
painting me in shades of clay
covering me whole
and I'm a lizard, sunbathing in your radiance
Oh, I come out of hiding, so sweet
so sweet you are
if I could only have a taste
wrap my lips around your flavor
just because you are you
just because you are, so beautiful

and I've been waiting all this life
in the company of one
and I know I am young
but I don't want to be alone
if you could only just
consider the two of us
and I know darling
I could be so good to you

I see you rising
on the horizon
bringing light into the day
and I'm coasting on your rays
when I awoke, you spoke through the mist of the mystic bliss
casting shadows
on all my dismal yesterdays
do you remember that you told me, darling
that I was so real
I tell you all my tears for you are real
and we'll cross that bridge again some day
I know we will
I hope we will

desert sunset, a lullaby
if I could give it all to you
if you'd only let me try
sing so sweetly, it's my only wish
music drips from your lips like sweet sips of a summer's kiss
summer raindrops are precious, tongues twist

and I’ve been waiting all this life
in the company of one
and I know I am young
but I don’t want to be alone
if you could only just
consider the two of us
I know darling
I could be so good to you

I see you rising, on the horizon
bringing light into the day
and I’m coasting on your rays
when I awoke and you spoke through the mist of a mystic bliss
casting shadows
on all my dismal yesterdays
do you remember that you told me, darling
that I was so real
I tell you all my tears for you are real
we’ll cross that bridge again some day
I know we will
I hope we will

desert moonrise, into the night
before we lay our heads
I wish to walk under the splendorous starlight
sing so sweetly, it’s the sweetest sound
and I’ve become weak in the knees
and I drop down and kiss the ground
and all my cares lie far below
in this earth I wish to die
in this hearth my fire grows

Oxalá

Oxalá, me passe a dôr de cabeça, oxalá
Oxalá, o passo não me esmoreça;

Oxalá, o Carnaval aconteça, oxalá,
Oxalá, o povo nunca se esqueça;

Oxalá, eu não ande sem cuidado,
Oxalá, eu não passe um mau bocado;
Oxalá, eu não faça tudo à pressa,
Oxalá meu Futuro aconteça.

Oxalá, que a vida me corra bem, oxalá.
Oxalá, que a tua vida também.

Oxalá, o Carnaval aconteça, oxalá,
Oxalá, o povo nunca se esqueça;

Oxalá, o tempo passe, hora a hora,
Oxalá, que ninguém se vá embora,
Oxalá, se aproxime o Carnaval,
Oxalá, tudo corra, menos mal

(Madredeus)

Who Am I? (Tripitena's Song)

Sometimes I wonder who am I
the world seeming to pass me by
A younger man now getting old
I have to wonder what the rest of life will hold

I hold a mirror to my face
there are some lines that I could trace
To memories of loving you
the passion that breaks reason in two

I have to think and stop me now
if reminisces make you frown
One thinks of what one hoped to be
and then faces reality

Sometimes I wonder who am I
who made the trees, who made the sky
Who made the storms, who made heartbreak
I wonder how much life I can take

I know I like to dream a lot
and think of other worlds that are not
I hate that I need air to breathe
I'd like to leave this body and be free

I'd like to float like a mystic child
I'd like to kiss an angel on the brow
I'd love to solve the mysteries of life
by cutting someone's throat or removing their heart

You'd like to see it beat
you'd like to hold your eyes
And though you know I'm dead
you'd like to hold my thighs

If it's wrong to think on this
to hold the dead past in your fist
Why were we given memories
let us lose our minds and be set free

Some-, sometimes I, I wonder who am I
the world seeming to pass me by
A younger man now getting old
I have to wonder what the rest of life will hold

I wonder
I wonder -

- Ooohhh, who started all this
was God in love and gave a kiss
To someone who later betrayed
and Godless love sent us away

To someone who later betrayed
and Godless love sent us away

(Lou Reed)

Blood On The Motorway

And now, eternity.

Be still now
I am with you,
I am deep within you;
You are at peace.
You cannot be harmed;
You will not suffer.
Breathe deeply,
Breathe in the healing love of the universe,
And breathe out the sickness which has taken you.
I am with you.

It's easy it's like breathing, it's like a heartbeat, it's easy
Have not betrayed your ideals
Your ideals betrayed you
What are you going to do?

Your eyes will not close
Your tongue barely speaks
But I can still feel you

I can still feel you
So come, come relax,
Grin, let the changes in
Come on, come relax
Grin,
Let the laughter, let the laughter
Let the laughter begin

Relax, grin, let the changes in.

Time is done
The sun has gone
It's too late
Eternity has come.

(DJ Shadow)
