Michel

Hey Michel how's life are you ok
I wonder if you ever think of me
It's been 9 years since that kiss
I can't help but reminisce
Hey Michel do you remember

We walked the street to the beat
Hand in hand you and me
Smiling faces so in love
Hoping that they all could see
That we belonged together you and me against the world
But we found out the hard way cause it wasn't meant to be

Now it's you and her I see

You were my first and worst love
And so it only could go wrong
But ain't that just the way you learn
Hey Michel I just wanted to let you know
That someone else has stolen my heart
And now another girl has caught your eye
That doesn't mean I don't think of you
I am just hoping she'll treat you right

Do you remember
How we walked the street to the beat
Hand in hand you and me
Smiling faces so in love
Hoping they all could see
That we belonged together you and me against the world
But we found out the hard way cause it wasn't meant to be

Now it is you and her I see

It was just a silly dream

(Anouk)

Folle de Toi

ELLE : Je suis folle
LUI : d’être folle de moi
ELLE : tu es fou
LUI : je suis fou de toi
ELLE : je suis folle
LUI : d’être folle de moi
ELLE : tu es fou
LUI : je suis fou de toi
LUI : as-tu fait bon voyage?
Connaissent-ils l’heure du rendez-vous?
ELLE : te donnent-ils ta pilule?
Vas-tu un jour avouer tout?
ELLE : je suis folle
LUI : de penser à ça
ELLE : tu es fou
LUI : de ta robe à pois
ELLE : je m’étiole
LUI : ne dis jamais ça
ELLE : Je m’en fous
LUI : ils ne m’auront pas
ELLE : dans ma main j’ai caché le soleil
LUI : dans la cour on peut voir le ciel
ELLE : Je suis folle
LUI : d’être folle de moi
ELLE : tu es fou
LUI : on le dit parfois
ELLE : ça m’affole
LUI : d’être loin de toi
ELLE : je l’avoue
LUI : j’ai peur quelques fois
ELLE : lisent-ils toujours tes lettres?
As-tu arrêté de fumer?
LUI : ça na pas d’importance
Ils vont bientôt me libérer
ELLE : Je suis folle
LUI : mais c’est malgré toi
ELLE : tu es fou
LUI : je l’étais déjà
ELLE : je m’étiole
LUI : ça suffit comme ça
ELLE : Je m’en fous
LUI : ils ne m’auront pas
ELLE : ce n’est qu’un mauvais tour
Que nous joue la vie
LUI : tout est dit la messe est finie
ELLE : Je suis folle
LUI : d’être folle de moi
ELLE : tu es fou
LUI : je suis fou de toi
ELLE : je suis folle
LUI : d’être folle de moi
ELLE : tu es fou
LUI : je suis fou de toi
ELLE : je suis folle
LUI : d’être folle de moi
ELLE : tu es fou
LUI : je suis fou de toi
ELLE : je suis folle
LUI : d’être folle de moi
ELLE : tu es fou
LUI : je suis fou de toi

Pedra Filosofal

Eles não sabem que o sonho
é uma constante da vida
tão concreta e definida
como outra coisa qualquer

como esta pedra cinzenta
em que me sento e descanso
como este ribeiro manso
em serenos sobressaltos

como estes pinheiros altos
que em verde e oiro se agitam
como estas árvores que gritam
em bebedeiras de azul

eles não sabem que sonho
é vinho, é espuma, é fermento
bichinho alacre e sedento
de focinho pontiagudo
no perpétuo movimento

Eles não sabem que o sonho
é tela é cor é pincel
base, fuste ou capitel
arco em ogiva, vitral

Pináculo de catedral
contraponto, sinfonia
máscara grega, magia
que é retorta de alquimista

mapa do mundo distante
Rosa dos Ventos Infante
caravela quinhentista
que é cabo da Boa-Esperança

Ouro, canela, marfim
florete de espadachim
bastidor, passo de dança
Columbina e Arlequim

passarola voadora
pára-raios, locomotiva
barco de proa festiva
alto-forno, geradora

cisão do átomo, radar
ultra-som, televisão
desembarque em foguetão
na superfície lunar

Eles não sabem nem sonham
que o sonho comanda a vida
e que sempre que o homem sonha
o mundo pula e avança
como bola colorida
entre as mãos duma criança

(Manuel Freire)

Fire Sign

You should have told me. Seemed like an ordinary day.
Everything seemed to be okay.
Did it hurt you? These are the scars you never show.
She is a fire sign, you know.
One day you're near and then you go.

Here is a looking glass what do you see?
There's nothing there but me.
There was a wishing well I jumped into.
Nothing came true.

They deceive you. There was a wall you had to find.
The echoes in your mind.
You surrender. These are the lessons that you learn.
Nobody hears, no one's concerned.
One day it's clear and then you burn.

Here is the wishing well I Jumped into.
Nothing came true.
And here is a looking glass what do you see?
Sorry it's just me.

Even just a sound, and all your cards are down.
Even just a sound.
Let me lay you down. Don't have to make a sound.
I would lay you down.

It surrounds you. Sometimes it's easy to believe.
Sometimes it hurts more than it seems.
Now it's over. These are the scars you never show.
There was a warning sign, you know.
One day you're near and then you go...

(David Berkeley)

Baby

You know, you must take a look at the new land
The swimming pool and the teeth of your friend
The dirt in my hand
You know, you must take a look at me
Baby, baby
I know thats the way
You know, you must try the new ice cream flavor
Do me a favor, look at me closer
Join us and go far
And hear the new sound of my bossa nova
Baby, baby
Its been a long time
You know, its time now to learn Portuguese
Its time now to learn what I know
And what I dont know
And what I dont know
And what I dont know
I know, with me everything is fine
Its time now to make up your mind
We live in the biggest city of South America
Of South America
Of South America
Look here, read what I wrote on my shirt
Baby, baby
I love you
You do

(Bebel Gilberto)

Korean Dogwood

Red oak sugar and Korean dogwood and Korean dogwood
Vibes tug to run roam
Lit by mission moonlight
Kangas on that hillside
You are my life
And you baffle me some
Like an endless maple
Inca cornflower
You're my baby's blue eyes
And when goddess all in a prayer
You'll hear a sound
That rings true and fair
Black cape lightning
And all the orange blossoms and orange blossoms
My friend Piegan
Drawing endless love songs, endless love songs
Sweet bee, show me what you're seeing
Show me what you're seeing
And go right and loud and proud
Every little word
It's still rings through
Strange prayer looming
Over all our brothers, over all our brothers
Prism lifeson and the whole gospel
Is a rope thrown helpful
But for sure all that we've made
Will be swallowed by the Earth

(Devendra Banhart)

Cold Shoulder

You say it's all in my head
And the things I think just don't make sense
So where you been then? Don't go all coy
Don't turn it round on me like it's my fault
See I can see that look in your eyes
The one that shoots me each and every time

You grace me with your cold shoulder
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her
You shower me with words made of knives
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her

These days when I see you
You make it look like see-through
Do tell me why you waste our time
When your heart ain't admitting you're not satisfied
You know I know just how you feel
I'm starting to find myself feeling that way too

When you grace me with your cold shoulder
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her
You shower me with words made of knives
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her

Time and time again, I play the role of fool
(Just for you)
Even in the daylight when you pass
(I see you)
Try to look for things I hear but our eyes never find
'Though I do know how you play

You grace me with your cold shoulder
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her
You shower me with words made of knives
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her

You grace me with your cold shoulder
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her
You shower me with words made of knives
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her

Machine Gun

I saw a saviour
a saviour come my way
I thought I'd see it
at the cold light of day
but now I realise that I’m
Only for me

if only I could see
You turn myself to me
and recognise the poison in my heart
there is no other place
no one else I face
remedy, we’ll agree, is how I feel

here in my reflecting
What more can I say?
for I am guilty
for the voice that I obey
too scared to sacrifice a choice
chosen for me

if only I could see
You turn myself to me
recognise the poison in my heart
there is no other place
no one else I face
The remedy, to agree, is how I feel

(Portishead)

Better

If I kiss you where it's sore
If I kiss you where it's sore
Will you feel better, better, better
Will you feel anything at all
Will you feel better, better, better
Will you feel anything at all

Born like sisters to this world
In a town where blood ties are only blood
If you never say your name out loud to anyone
They can never ever call you by it

If I kiss you where it's sore
If I kiss you where it's sore
Will you feel better, better, better
Will you feel anything at all
Will you feel better, better, better
Will you feel anything at all

You're getting sadder, getting sadder, getting sadder, getting sadder
And I don't understand, and I don't understand
But if I kiss you where it's sore
If I kiss you where it's sore
Will you feel better, better, better
Will you feel anything at all
Will you feel better, better, better
Will you feel anything at all
Anything at all
Will you feel anything at all
Anything at all
Will you feel anything at all
Anything at all...

Stuck In the Middle With You

Well I don't know why I came here tonight,
I got the feeling that something ain't right,
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair,
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs,
Clowns to the left of me,
Jokers to the right, here I am,
Stuck in the middle with you.

Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you,
And I'm wondering what it is I should do,
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face,
Losing control, yeah, I'm all over the place,
Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.

Well you started out with nothing,
And you're proud that you're a self made man,
And your friends, they all come crawlin,
Slap you on the back and say,
Please.... Please.....

Trying to make some sense of it all,
But I can see that it makes no sense at all,
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor,
'Cause I don't think that I can take anymore
Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.

Well you started out with nothing,
And you're proud that you're a self made man,
And your friends, they all come crawlin,
Slap you on the back and say,
Please.... Please.....

Well I don't know why I came here tonight,
I got the feeling that something ain't right,
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair,
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs,
Clowns to the left of me,
Jokers to the right, here I am,
Stuck in the middle with you,
Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you,
Stuck in the middle with you.

The Killing Moon

Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms, too late to beg you
Or cancel it, though I know it must be
The killing time
Unwillingly mine

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

In starlit nights I saw you
So cruelly you kissed me
Your lips a magic world
Your sky all hung with jewels
The killing moon
Will come too soon

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms, too late to beg you
or cancel it though I know it must be
The killing time
Unwillingly mine

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
You give yourself to him

(Echo & The Bunnymen)

The Water

The telegraph cables hum
The few can decipher who the message is from
And delivering quietly
'Cause some don’t get much company

The harbor becomes the sea
And light in the house keeps it collision free
Understand the lay of the land
Don’t let it hurt you
Or it will be the first to
'Cause

The water
The water came to realize
It's dangerous size
The mountain
The mountain came to recognize
Its steep and rocky sides
More than realized

Pale as a pile of bones
You hope for your babies and this is how they grow
With batters knocked over
The teeth bite the shoulder
Watching the gray sky that’s acting like a good guy

The water
The water came to realize
Its dangerous size
The mountain
The mountain more than recognize
Its steep and rocky sides
More than realized

(Feist)

Bring Sally Up

Bring sally up
And bring sally down
Lift and squat
Gotta tear the ground

Old miss lucy's dead and gone
left me here to weep and moan

(Moby)

This Is The Day

Well, you didn't wake up this morning because you didn't go to bed
You were watching the whites of your eyes turn red
The calendar on your wall is ticking the days off
You've been reading some old letters
You smile and think how much you've changed
All the money in the world couldn't buy back those days

You pull back your curtains
And the sun burns into your eyes
You watch a plane flying
Across a clear blue sky
This is the day
Your life will surely change
This is the day
When things fall into place

You could've done anything If you'd wanted
And all your friends and family think that you're lucky
But the side of you they'll never see
Is when you're left alone with the memories
That hold your life together ... like glue

You pull back your curtains
And the sun burns into your eyes
You watch a plane flying
Across a clear blue sky
This is the day
Your life will surely change
This is the day
When things fall into place

This is the day your life will surely change
This is the day your life will surely change
This is the day your life will surely change
This is the day your life will surely change

(The The)

Life is Real

Some people say that i'm too open
they say it's not good to let them no
everything about me
and they say one day
they will use every little things against me
but i don't mind maybe they're right
that's just how it is and i got nothing to hide

i live my life the way i want
i got nothing to hide nothing at all
life is not a fairy tale
they should know that life is real

i live my life the way i want
i got nothing to hide nothing at all
life is not a fairy tale
they should know that life is real

A friend of mine gave me an advice
he said be careful and think twice
before you talk about your life
protect yourself just keep quiet
the more they know the harder they try
to spoil your ways to spread lies
and even though i know he could be right
i just said i..

i live my life the way i want
i got nothing to hide nothing at all
life is not a fairy tale
they should know that life is real

i live my life the way i want
i got nothing to hide nothing at all
life is not a fairy tale
they should know that life is real

Me i be ayo ogunmakin fear no foe
i am real from head to toe
like life is real and you should know

Me i be ayo ogunmakin fear no foe
i am real from head to toe
just like my heart and my soul


Me i be ayo ogunmakin fear no foe
i am real from head to toe
like life is real and you should know

Me i be ayo ogunmakin fear no foe
i am real from head to toe
just like my heart and my soul

City of Blinding Lights

The more you see the less you know
The less you find out as you go
I knew much more then than I do now

Neon heart dayglo eyes
A city lit by fireflies
They're advertising in the skies
For people like us

And I miss you when you're not around
I'm getting ready to leave the ground....

Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh

Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights

Don't look before you laugh
Look ugly in a photograph
Flash bulbs purple irises
The camera can't see

I've seen you walk unafraid
I've seen you in the clothes you made
Can you see the beauty inside of me?
What happened to the beauty I had inside of me?

And I miss you when you're not around
I'm getting ready to leave the ground

Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh

Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights

Time... time
Won't leave me as I am
But time won't take the boy out of this man

Oh you look so beautiful tonight
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights

The more you know the less you feel
Some pray for others steal
Blessings are not just for the ones who kneel... luckily

Man In The Long Black Coat

Crickets are chirpin' the water is high
There's a soft cotton dress on the line hangin' dry
Window wide open African trees
Bent over backwards from a hurricane breeze
Not a word of goodbye not even a note
She gone with the man in the long black coat.

Somebody seen him hangin' around
As the old dance hall on the outskirts of town
He looked into her eyes when she stopped him to ask
If he wanted to dance he had a face like a mask
Somebody said from the bible he'd quote
There was dust on the man in the long black coat.

Preacher was talking there's a sermon he gave
He said every man's conscience is vile and depraved
You cannot depend on it to be your guide
When it's you who must keep it satisfied
It ain't easy to swallow it sticks in the throat
She gave her heart to the man in the long black coat.

There are no mistakes in life some people say
It is true sometimes you can see it that way
But people don't live or die people just float
She went with the man in the long black coat.

There's smoke on the water it's been there since June
Tree trunks unprooted beneath the high crescent moon
Feel the pulse and vibration and the rumbling force
Somebody is out there beating on a dead horse
She never said nothing there was nothing she wrote
She gone with the man in the long black coat.

(Mark Lanegan)

Slow

Slow
Would be the tempo of the restless soul
He's seen what a listless life can bring
Wait, and then waits until he's waiting for
The latency of everything

Slow
Would be the rhythm of the hummingbird
The quick speed in the shutter of his eyes
On flowers he will pose and he will spread the words
On how the world is slowly passing by

Slow
And tiredness of your control
Of the moment that is nearly standing still
Delayed for a minute and not a second more
Unphased like a forbidden thrill

Gently behind the beat
We shuffle on ancient streets
The reverb of time
Is our vantage point
We slept for a million years
Lived through a million fears
We are not nervous
We will not ask for more

If you can slow up, I'm gonna slow up too

Slow
Like the kissing of a lazy cheek
Like the limit and the deadline of the rush
And words, words waiting for you to speak
Or getting lost in your eternal crush

Slow
Would be the tempo of the restless mind
He's seen what a listless life can bring
And wait and then he waits until he's waiting for
The latency of everything

Gently behind the beat
We shuffle on ancient streets
The reverb of time
Is our vantage point
We slept for a million years
Lived through a million fears
We are not nervous
We will not ask for more
Pawns of the troubled times
And kings of our petty crimes
The minds will function
With a small delay
See what the past has planned
The future's a beggar's hand
The more we understand
The slower our days

If you can slow up, I'm gonna slow up too

(dEUS)
