In The New Year

Oh I’m still living
At the old address
And I’m waiting on the weather
And I know you’ll pass

I know that it’s true
It’s gonna be a good year
Out of the darkness
And into the fire
I’ll tell you I love you
And my hearts in the strangest place
That’s how it started
And that’s how it ends

And I know you’re with me
It’s a point of pride
And it’s louder than lightning
In this room of mine
Oh I’m just like you I never hear the bad news
And how come that
We won by a landside
Our troubles are over
My sisters a medic
She warned my friends
Yeah, that’s how it started

So it’s all over
It’s all over, anyhow
You took our sweet time
And finally I opened my eyes

My friends and my family
They are asking of me
How long will you ramble
How long will you still repeat
The snow is still falling
And I’m almost home
I’ll see you…

(The Walkmen)

Candy

Candy told me nothing really matters anymore
And when I ask her what she means she says I ought to know
Candy said she's made arrangements for me in the sand
And Candy said she wants me with her down in Candyland
Candy says she wonders why we try
I couldn't think of what to say
I had no ready reply
But Candy says I'd like it where she is
She says it's an opportunity that I don't want to miss
Candy said she's made arrangements for me in the sand
And Candy said she wants me with her down in Candyland
Candy said she wants me with her down in Candyland
Candy asked me if she died if I could go on
Of course I said I couldn't and of course we knew that's wrong
But Candy I said Candy no you can't do that to me
Because you love me way to much for you to ever leave
Candy said she's made arrangements for me in the sand
And Candy said she wants me with her down in Candyland
Candy said she's made arrangements for me in the sand
And Candy said she wants me with her down in Candyland
Candy said she wants me with her down in Candyland

Há gente aqui

(Maria João & Mário Laginha)

All The Way

...They heard the sound of the snow falling
They left the house, and started running
They ran past the street where they fluffed their lines
Where chemistries slowly redesigned
All the way, the calender froze on even number
Cat caught the tones of the cold corner
All the way, they could see it going
All the way, east temperature, fahrenheit sanction
A transparent sound, mapping distraction
All the way, it would be forever
All the way

All the way, they heard the sound of the snow falling
They left the house and started running
I will let you know when it's time to be leaving
Don't want the same ghost for company this evening
You come here, and I disappear
Somehow I see something I fear
Maybe we'll make someone's souvenir
All the way, they heard the sound of the snow falling...

Amor Combate

Eu quero estar lá
Quando tu tiveres de olhar para trás.
Sempre quero ouvir
Aquilo que guardaste para dizer no fim.

Eu não te posso dar
Aquilo que nunca tive de ti,
Mas não,... te vou negar a visita às ruínas que deixaste
em mim.

Se o nosso amor é um combate,
Então que ganhe a melhor parte.

Se o nosso amor é um combate, o nosso amor é um combate, o nosso amor é um combate...

O chão que pisas sou eu.
O nosso amor morreu quem o matou fui eu.
O chão que pisas sou eu.

(Linda Martini)

Pardonné

Je suis l'enfant d'un peuple sourd,
Qu'on vienne à mon secours
J'ai construit ma vie et des barrières autour
Sans jamais voir le jour,
J'ai prié mes dieux enfermé seul dans ma tour
Comme toi j'ai voulu un visage et voir du paysage
Prendre le large, écouter mon message
Les barreaux d'une cage
Peuvent céder sous le poids des larmes

J'ai pardonné et j'ai fermé les yeux, j'ai appris à rêver
Et j'ai pardonné et j'ai fermé les yeux sur ma réalité

Je suis la cible qu'il te faut, le satellite en trop
J'ai courbé les épaules et j'ai joué mon rôle
Je suis comme tout le monde
Pourtant malgré moi de la peur je suis l'hôte
Je suis l'enfant d'un peuple sourd
Qu'on vienne à mon secours
J'ai construit des barrières, la vie suit son cours
Je n'attends plus le jour, j'ai renié mes dieux pour toujours

J'ai pardonné et j'ai fermé les yeux, j'ai appris à rêver
Et j'ai pardonné et j'ai fermé les yeux sur ma réalité

Marcher ensemble, sauter ensemble c'est parfait
Tomber ensemble, mourir ensemble c'est parfait
Marcher ensemble, sauter ensemble
Tomber ensemble, mourir ensemble
Partir en cendre, ne rien entendre Finir en sang
Ne plus attendre

(Kyo)

All That You Have Is Your Soul

Oh my mama told me
'Cause she say she learned the hard way
Say she wanna spare the children
She say don't give or sell your soul away
'Cause all that you have is your soul

Don't be tempted by the shiny apple
Don't you eat of a bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
'Cause all that you have is your soul

I was a pretty young girl once
I had dreams I had high hopes
I married a man he stole my heart away
He gave his love but what a high price I paid
And all that you have is your soul

Don't be tempted by the shiny apple
Don't you eat of a bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
'Cause all that you have is your soul

Why was I such a young fool
Thought I'd make history
Making babies was the best I could do
Thought I'd made something that could be mine forever
Found out the hard way one can't possess another
And all that you have is your soul

Don't be tempted by the shiny apple
Don't you eat of a bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
'Cause all that you have is your soul

I thought thought that I could find a way
To beat the system
To make a deal and have no debts to pay
I'd take it all take it all I'd run away
Me for myself first class and first rate
But all that you have is your soul

Don't be tempted by the shiny apple
Don't you eat of a bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
'Cause all that you have is your soul

Here I am waiting for a better day
A second chance
A little luck to come my way
A hope to dream a hope that I can sleep again
And wake in the world with a clear conscience and clean hands
'Cause all that you have is your soul

All that you have
All that you have
All that you have
Is your soul

(Tracy Chapman)

Reality TV

You stay away from your window light
You used to have a life
You got a box of light
You got your eye and your heart abound
The people on the screen are your best friends now

You talk to the numbers
And text phone the others
You can’t leave the dial alone
You talk to the numbers
And text phone the others
Why go out when you can just stay at home?

Wanna see people
hugging and kissing
Wanna see people
hugging and kissing
Wanna see people
hugging and kissing
That’s because it’s
what you’re missing

You get your love from the web cam channel
Watching the brunette with the house mate flannel
You got your eye and your heart abound
The people on the screen are your family now

There’s Steve who is Charmaine
He had all his sex changed
He don’t get on with Simone
She’s diesel and lipstick
She only do them real chicks
Why go out when you can just stay at home?

Wanna see people
hugging and kissing
Wanna see people
hugging and kissing
Wanna see people
hugging and kissing
That’s because it’s
what you’re missing

(Infadels)

Working Class Hero

As soon as you're born they make you feel small,
By giving you no time instead of it all,
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.

They hurt you at home and they hit you at school,
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool,
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.

When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years,
Then they expect you to pick a career,
When you can't really function you're so full of fear,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.

Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,
And you think you're so clever and classless and free,
But you're still fucking peasents as far as I can see,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.

There's room at the top they are telling you still,
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill,
If you want to be like the folks on the hill,
A working class hero is something to be.
A working class hero is something to be.

If you want to be a hero well just follow me,
If you want to be a hero well just follow me.

(John Lennon)

Brighter Than Sunshine

I never understood before.
I never knew what love was for.
My heart was broke, my head was sore
What a feeling.

Tied up in ancient history,
I didn't believe in destiny.
I look up, you're standing next to me
What a feeling.

What a feeling in my soul
Love burns brighter than sunshine,
Brighter than sunshine.
Let the rain fall, I don't care.
I'm yours, and suddenly you're mine.
Suddenly, you're mine;
And its brighter than sunshine.

I never saw it happening.
Id given up and given in.
I just couldn't take the hurt again
What a feeling.

I didn't have the strength to fight.
Suddenly, you seemed so right.
Me and you -
What a feeling.

What a feeling in my soul
Love burns brighter than sunshine.
Its brighter than sunshine.
Let the rain fall, I don't care.
Im yours, and suddenly you're mine.
Suddenly, you're mine.

And its brighter than the sun.
Its brighter than the sun.
Its brighter than the sun, sunshine.

Love will remain a mystery,
But give me your hand, and you will see.
Your heart is keeping time with me.

What a feeling in my soul
Love burns brighter than sunshine.
Its brighter than sunshine.
Let the rain fall, I don't care.
I'm yours, and suddenly you're mine.
Suddenly, you're mine.

I got a feeling in my soul.
Love burns brighter than sunshine,
Brighter than sunshine.
Let the rain fall, I don't care.
I'm yours, and suddenly you're mine.
Suddenly, you're mine.

I got a feeling in my soul.
Love burns brighter than sunshine.
Its brighter than sunshine.
Let the rain fall, I don't care.
I'm yours, and suddenly you're mine.
Suddenly, you're mine.
And it's brighter than sunshine.

Kind & Generous

You've been so kind and generous
I don't know how you keep on giving
For your kindness, I'm in debt to you
For your selflessness, my admiration
For everything you've done, you know I'm bound
I'm bound to thank you for it

You've been so kind and generous
I don't know how you keep on giving
For your kindness, I'm in debt to you
And I never could have come, this far without you
For everything you've done, you know I'm bound
I'm bound to thank you for it

Oh, I want to thank you for so many gifts you gave
The love, the tenderness, I wanna thank you
I want to thank you for your generosity, the love
And the honesty that you gave me
I want to thank you show my gratitude
My love, and my respect for you, I want to thank you
Oh, I want to thank you, thank you; thank you, thank you
I want to thank you, thank you; thank you, thank you

(Natalie Merchant)

Time Is My Everything

Many moons have passed
since our paths last crossed
Did you maybe lose your way?
'cause time is my everything

Time is my everything
For you I'd do anything
Under the sun

And child, don't you fear anything
For all of the wicked men,
shall have to stand in line
I know you're gonna see it in the fullness of time

I know you're gonna see it in the fullness of time

So many moons have passed
since our paths last crossed
You're gonna have to find a way,
time is my everything

Time is my everything
For you I'd do anything
Under the sun

Child, don't you fear anything
For even the greatest men,
shall have to stand in line
I know you're gonna see it in the fullness of time

Ain't the devil happy
when two lovers break a bond they made?
Happy ever after when two lovers come as one again

I know you're gonna see it in the fullness of time

I know you're gonna see it in the fullness of time

(Ian Brown)

Kissing The Lipless

Called to see
If your back
Was still aligned
And your sheets
Were growing grass
All on the corners of your bed

But you've got too much to wear
On your sleeves
It has too much to do with me
And secretly
I want to bury in the yard
The grey remains of a friendship scarred

You told us of your new life there
You got someone coming round
Gluing tinsel to your crown
He's got you talkin' pretty loud

You berate remember
Your ailing heart and your criminal eyes
You say you're still in love
If it's true, what can be done?
It's hard to leave all those moments behind

Called to see
If your back
Was still aligned
And your sheets
All growing grass
All on the corners of your bed

But you've got too much to wear
On your sleeves
It has too much to do with me
And secretly
I want to bury in the yard
The grey remains of a friendship scarred

You've tested your metal of
Doe's skin and petals
While kissing the lipless
Who bleed all the sweetness away

(The Shins)

How Lucky We Are

One day
We'll get out of this shitty apartment
One day
Is all it takes for things to turn around now
All I know
Is I got you and you got me babe
And when that morning comes
I'll make coffee and you'll read the paper
We'll talk about our plans
and I'll keep saying how lucky we are

One day
We'll get in the car
and drive anywhere we wanna go
And then we'll stay in a
five star mini bar luxury hotel room
Cause all I know is I got you
and you got me babe
And when that morning comes
I'll make coffee and you'll read the paper
We'll talk about our plans and
I'll keep saying how lucky we are
How lucky we are
Oh oh ohh
How luck we are
Oh oh ohh
How lucky we are
Oh oh ohh
How lucky we are

Ooh ooh oh
Ooh ooh oh
Ooh ooh oh
Ooh ooh oh

One day
We'll turn on the tv and won't see nothing 'bout war
And when that morning comes
I'll make coffee and you'll read the paper
We'll talk about our plans and
I'll keep saying how lucky we are

How lucky, how lucky, how lucky we are
Oh
How lucky, how lucky, how lucky we are
Oh
How lucky, how lucky, how lucky we are
Oh
How lucky, how lucky, how lucky we are

(Meiko)

Leave

Nothing could be bring me closer
Nothing could be bring me near
Where is the road I follow?
to leave, leave

It's under, under, under my feet
The sea spread out there before me
where do I go where the land touches the sea
There is my trust in what I believe

That's what keeps me,
That's what keeps me,
That's what keeps me down,
To leave it, leave it,
Leave it all behind

Shifting the dream
Nothing could bring me further from my old time
Shifting the dream
It's charging the scene
I know where I marked the signs
I suffer the dreams of a world gone mad
I like it like that and I know it

I know it well, ugly and sweet
That temper madness with an even extreme

That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
I say that I'm a bantam lightweight
I say that I'm a phantom airplane
That never left the ground

Lift me, lift me,
I attain my dream
I lost myself, I lost the
Heartache calling me
I lost myself in sorrow
I lost myself in pain
I lost myself in clarity,
Memory, leave, leave

Lift my hands, my eyes are still
I walk into the scene
lift myself in a different place
just Leavin'

I longed for this to take me,
I longed for my release
I waited for the callin'
To leave, leave

Leave, leave
Leavin', leavin'
Leavin', leave

(R.E.M.)

Roads

Oh, can't anybody see,
We've got a war to fight,
Never found our way,
Regardless of what they say.

How can it feel, this wrong,
From this moment,
How can it feel, this wrong.

Storm,
In the morning light,
I feel,
No more can I say,
Frozen to myself.

I got nobody on my side,
And surely that ain't right,
Surely that ain't right.

Oh, can't anybody see,
We've got a war to fight,
Never found our way,
Regardless of what they say.

How can it feel, this wrong,
From this moment,
How can it feel, this wrong.

How can it feel this wrong,
From this moment,
How can it feel, this wrong.

Oh, can't anybody see,
We've got a war to fight,
Never found our way,
Regardless of what they say.

How can it feel, this wrong,
From this moment,
How can it feel, this wrong.

Snow on the Sahara

Only tell me that you still want me here
When you wander off out there
To those hills of dust and hard winds that blow
In that dry white ocean alone
Lost out in the desert
You are lost out in the desert

But to stand with you in a ring of fire
I'll forget the days gone by
I'll protect your body and guard your soul
From mirages in your sight

Lost out in the desert
You are lost out in the desert

If your hopes scatter like the dust across your track
I'll be the moon that shines on your path
The sun may blind our eyes, I'll pray the skies above
For snow to fall on the Sahara

Just a wish and I will cover your shoulders
With veils of silk and gold
When the shadows come and darken your heart
Leaving you with regrets so cold

Lost out in the desert
You are lost out in the desert

If your hopes scatter like the dust across your track
I'll be the moon that shines on your path
The sun may blind our eyes, I'll pray the skies above
For snow to fall on the Sahara

If that's the only place where you can leave your doubts
I'll hold you up and be your way out
And if we burn away, I'll pray the skies above
For snow to fall on the Sahara

(Anggun)

Nem Vem Que Não Tem

Nem vem que não tem
Nem vem de garfo que hoje é dia de sopa
Esquenta o ferro, passa minha roupa
Eu nesse embalo vou botar pra quebrar
Sacudim, sacundá, sacundim, gundim, gundá!

Nem vem que não tem
Nem vem de escada que o incêndio é no porão
Tira o tamanco, tem sinteco no chão
Eu nesse embalo vou botar pra quebrar
Sacudim, sacundá, sacundim, gundim, gundá!

Nem vem, numa casa de cabloco, já disseram
Um é pouco, dois é bom, três é demais!
Nem vem, guarda seu lugar na fila
Todo homem que vacila, a mulher passa pra trás!

Nem vem que não tem
Pra virar cinza minha brasa demora!
Michô meu papo, mas já vamos'imbora!
Eu nesse embalo vou botar pra quebrar
Sacudim, sacundá, sacundim, gundim, gundá

Love In A Trashcan

If you touch that girl, you know it's okay
People say she's a whore anyway
I think she looks like a nice vamp
Looking for love in a trashcan

If you kiss that girl, you won't be caught dead
She's the coolest girl you think you ever met
I think she fits right into my life
On the road till the end of time
On the road till the end of time

Now the time is right and you feel the need
To go down low and receive a treat
The jukebox churns out songs about sex
Come on baby you're my best fix
Come on baby you're my best fix

Love, love in a trashcan
Love, love in a trashcan

(The Raveonettes)

Hands of Time

Keep looking through the window pane
Just trying to see through the pouring rain
It's hearing your name, hearing your name
I never really felt quite the same,
Since I've lost what I had to gain
No one to blame, no one to blame
Seems to me, can't turn back the hands of time
Oh it seems to me, can't turn back the hands of time

Seems to me, can't turn back the hands of time
Oh it seems to me, can't turn back the hands of time
Seems to me, history was left behind
