Conto de Fadas de Sintra a Lisboa

Ele era um cavalheiro
Todo ele transpirava elegância
Ela era gata borralheira
Tivera que limpar a sua infância

Ele velejava no verão
E esquiava no inverno
Ela trabalhava ao balcão
De um qualquer estabelecimento moderno

Ele gostava de reluzir em si
O estilo da capital
Ela já não conseguia distinguir as cores
Da bandeira nacional

Ele tinha entre os seus títulos
Uma futura ordem do infante
Ela achava o levantar do dedo mindinho
Algo deselegante

Mas ele um dia curvou-se a seus pés

E ela passou a ocupar o tempo
A descobrir o que era a cultura
E ele confinou-se aos seus aposentos
E descobriu a costura

Ela quis poder entender o universo
E começou a ler Platão
E ele resolveu perceber o que era a justiça
Em frente à televisão

A ele de nada lhe valeu a aparência
Nem a casa no largo do rato
Porque ela sabia que era cinderela
E enganou-o com um sapato

Ele que um dia fora príncipe
Agora rendia-se à evidência
Com mulheres que calçam o quarenta
É melhor revelar prudência

Hoje ele ainda beija os seus pés

(Os Pontos Negros)

I Don't Know What I Can Save You From

You called me after midnight,
it must have been three years since we last spoke.
I slowly tried to bring back
the image of your face from the memories so old.
I tried so hard to follow,
but didn't catch a half of what had gone wrong,
said "I don't know what I can save you from. "
I don't know what I can save you from.

I asked you to come over,
and within half an hour,
you were at my door.
I had never really known you,
but I realized that the one you were before,
had changed into somebody for whom
I wouldn't mind to put the kettle on.
Still I don't know what I can save you from.
I don't know what I can save you from.

(Kings Of Convenience)

L.E.S. Artistes

What I'm searching for
to tell it straight, I'm tryin to build a wall
Walking by myself
down avenues that reek of time to kill
If you see me keep going
be a pass by waver
Build me up, bring me down
just leave me out you name dropper
Stop tryin to catch my eye
I see you good you forced faker
Just make it easy
You're my enemy you fast talker

I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for all the things that I believe

What am I here for
I left my home to disappear is all
I'm here for myself
Not to know you
I don't need no one else
Fit in so good the hope is that you cannot see me later
You don't know me
I am an introvert an excavator
I'm duckin' out for now
a face in dodgy elevators
Creep up and suddenly
I found myself
an innovator

I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for all the things that I believe

Change, change, change,
I want to get up out of my skin
tell you what
if I can shake it
I'm 'a make this
something worth dreaming of

Caipirinha

Everyday it's a dream,
it's obscene.
I wish I was there.
Far Away,
having fun, beneath the sun, my feet in the sand.
But here I am,
freezing cold, shoveling snow,
but why should you care?
I wish I was there.
I wish I was there.
It always begins and never ends.
Winter breeze, antifreeze, screaming please,
I wish I was there.
Cocoa, chilled by snow.
All alone.
Ice falls in the air,
But here I am.
Sweat and heat at the beach,
and your not my friend.
I wish I was there.
I wish I was there.
It always begins and never ends.
I wish I was there.
I wish I was there.
It always begins and never ends.
It always begins and never ends

(Peeping Tom feat. Bebel Gilberto)

Satisfied Mind

How many times have you heard someone say,
"If I had money, I would do things my way."
But little they know, that it's so hard to find
one rich man in ten, with a satisfied mind.

Money can't buy back all your youth when you're old,
a friend when you're lonely, or peace to your soul.
The wealthiest person, is a pauper at times
compared to the man with a satisfied mind.

When my life is over and my time has run out,
my friends and my loved ones, I will leave there's no doubt.
But one thing's for certain, when it comes my time,
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind.
But one thing's for certain, when it comes my time,
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind mind mind, mind mind,
satisfied mind.

(Jeff Buckley)

Going On

I've seen it with my own eyes
How we're getting otherwise
Without the luxury of leaving

The touch and feeling of free
Is intangible technically
Something you got to believe in

Connect the cause and effect
One foot in front of the next
This is the start of a journey

And my mind is already gone
And though there other unknowns
Somehow this doesn't concern me

And you can stand right there if you want

But I'm going on
And I'm prepared to go it alone
I'm going on
To a place in the sun that's nice and warm
I'm going on

And I'm sure they'll have a place for you too, ooh

Anyone that needs what they want
And doesn't want what they need
I want nothing to do with

And to do what I want
And to do what I please
Is first on my to do list

But every once in a while
I think about her smile
One of the few things I do miss

But baby I've got to go
Baby I've got to know
Baby I've got to prove it

And I'll see you when you get there

But I'm going on
And I'm prepared to go it alone
I'm going on
May my love lift you up to the place you belong
I'm going on

And I promise I'll be waiting for you, ooh

Don't follow me

(Gnarls Barkley)

See Line Woman

see-line woman
she drink coffee
she drink tea
and then go home
see-line woman

see-line woman
dressed in green
wears silk stockings
with golden seams
see-line woman

see-line woman
dressed in red
make a man lose his head
see-line woman

see-line woman
black dress on
for a thousand dollars
she wail and she moan
see-line woman

wiggle wiggle
turn like a cat
wink at a man
and he wink back
now child
see-line woman

empty his pockets
and wreck his days
make him love her
and she'll fly away

see-line woman
take it on out now
empty his pockets
and she wreck his days
and she make him love her
then she sure fly away
she got a black dress on
for a thousand dollars
she wail and she moan...

Psicologia

Tens uma vida normal
Mas pressentes que afinal
As coisas todas são esquisitas
Este mundo é um buraco de animal
Sentes-te mal e hesitas

Pedes ajuda a alguém
Se houver remédios também
Não dizes não
Já viste o procedimento todo na televisão
Diz Freud "a culpa é da mãe"

Pagas para desabafar
Coisas que andas a pensar
Sobre o futuro e o passado mal passado
Que te está a atormentar
Man, andas a descompensar

Psicologia, factor de stress.
Esquizofrenia é uma mania,
Dá em gente com um ego que aborrece.
Há tanta coisa que enlouquece.

Vais de consulta em consulta
Mas nada disto resulta
E então aderes a outras modas mais em voga
Que convertem gente culta
Juntas-te ao culto do yoga

Destróis teu ego fatal
Depois constróis em espiral
Uma descida sem retorno e destemida
Com um desfecho banal
És só mais um suícida

Isto são coisas tão fáceis
São só doenças portáteis
Que se apoderam das cabeças mais modernas
Em alturas mais voláteis
Sentes-te só e hibernas

Psicologia, factor de stress.
Esquizofrenia é uma mania,
Dá em gente com um ego que aborrece.
Há tanta coisa que enlouquece.

Psicologia, factor de stress.

I Love to Move in Here

I love to move here.. “wooo!”
i love to move in here

okay..
this is how its gonna go..
y’all gona move ’till ya cant no more
the dj gonna pick up records ’till his hands are sore
the lights are gonna flash
for grand masta cash
gonna kick it to you like you never heard before
the place is here
the time is now
all the fellas say ho
all the ladies say ow.
put your two hands togetha
to form a soclap …
and jump back never see you ride the track
it ain’t black or white
it’s about the beat
if you can’t rack the mic
its about the heat
you say what you’re like
when im about to speak
and nobody wanna hear you anyway
so keep it moving girl (girl)
so old skool taking it back
and we ain’t leaving
till we stop breathing
even if the music stops -
we continue to groove
nice and smooth
because we want y’all to move

I love to move here.. “wooo!”
i love to move in here

9 Crimes

Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be thinking of you
It's the wrong time
For somebody new
It's a small crime
And I've got no excuse

Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright?
If u don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright
With you?

Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be cheating on you
It's the wrong time
She's pulling me through
It's a small crime
And I've got no excuse

Is that alright?
I give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright?
If you dont shoot it, how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright?
I give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright
Is that alright with you?

Is that alright?
I give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright?
If you don't shoot it, how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright?
If I give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright
Is that alright with you?

Is that alright?
Is that alright?
Is that alright with you?
Is that alright?
Is that alright?
Is that alright with you?

No...

Best For Last

Wait, do you see my heart on my sleeve?
It's been there for days on end and
It's been waiting for you to open up
Just you baby, come on now
I'm trying to tell you just how
I'd like to hear the words roll out of your mouth finally
Say that it's always been me

That's made you feel a way you've never felt before
And I'm all you need and that you never want more
Then you'd say all of the right things without a clue
But you'd save the best for last
Like I'm the one for you

You should know that you're just a temporary fix
This isn't a routine with you it don't mean that much to me
You're just a filler in the space that happened to be free
How dare you think you'd get away with trying to play me

Why is it everytime I think I've tried my hardest
It turns out it ain't enough, you're still not mentioning love
What am I supposed to do to make you want me properly?
I'm taking these chances and getting away
And though I'm trying my hardest you go back to her
And I think that I know things may never change
I'm still hoping one day I might hear you say

I make you feel a way you've never felt before
And I'm all you need and you never want more
Then you'd say all of the right things without a clue
But you'd save the best for last
Like I'm the one for you

You should know that you're just a temporary fix
This isn't a routine with you it don't mean that much to me
You're just a filler in the space that happened to be free
How dare you think you'd get away with trying to play me

But, despite the truth that I know
I find it hard to let go and give up on you
Seems I love the things you do
Like the meaner you treat me the more eager I am
To persist with this heartbreak and running around
And I think that I know things may never change
I'm still hoping one day I might hear you say

I make you feel a way you've never felt before
And I'm all you need and that you never want more
Then you'd say all of the right things without a clue
And you'll be the one for me and me the one for you

(Adele)
