Animal Nitrate

Like his dad you know that he's had
Animal nitrate in mind
Oh in your council home he jumped on your bones
Now you're taking it time after time

Oh it turns you on, on, now he has gone
Oh what turns you on now your animal's gone?

Well he said he'd show you his bed
And the delights of the chemical smile
So in your broken home he broke all your bones
Now you're taking it time after time

Oh it turns you on, on, now he has gone
Oh what turns you on now your animal's gone?

What does it take to turn you on, on
Now he has gone?
Now you're over 21?
Now your animal's gone?

...animal, he was animal, an animal

Homelands

Tudo o que quiser
Tem que entender
Nas palmas da mão
Se tiver porquê

Frágil nessa terra
Fácil derrubou
Quando jogou fora
Tudo acabou

(Nitin Sawhney)

Geraldine

when your sparkle evades your soul
I'll be at your side to console
when your standing on the window ledge
I'll talk you back, back from the edge
I will turn, I will turn your tide
be your Sheppard and your guide
when you're lost in the deep and darkest place around
may my words walk you home safe and sound
when you say that I'm no good and you feel like walking
I need to make sure you know that's just the prescription talking
when your feet decide to walk you on the wayward side
up upon the stairs and down the downward slide
I will turn, I will turn your tide
do all that I can to heal you inside
I will be the angel on your shoulder
my name is Geraldine, I'm your social worker

I see you need me
I know you do

I see you need me
I know you do

I see you need me
I know you do

(Glasvegas)

La Confession

JE N'AI PAS PEUR
DE DIRE QUE JE T'AI TRAHI
PAR PURE PARESSE
PAR PURE MÉLANCOLIE
QU'ENTRE TOI
ET LE DIABLE
J'AI CHOISI LE PLUS
CONFORTABLE
MAIS TOUT CELA
N'EST PAS POURQUOI
JE ME SENS COUPABLE
MON CHER AMI

JE N'AI PAS PEUR DE DIRE
QUE TU ME FAIS PEUR
AVEC TON ESPOIR
ET TON GRAND SENS
DE L'HONNEUR
TU ME DONNES ENVIE
DE TOUT DéTRUIRE
DE T'ARRACHER
LE BEAU SOURIRE
ET MÊMe ÇA
N'EST PAS POURQUOI
JE ME SENS COUPABLE
C'EST ÇA LE PIRE

JE ME SENS COUPABLE
PARCE QUE J'AI L'HABITUDE
C'EST LA SEULE CHOSE
QUE JE PEUX FAIRE
AVEC UNE CERTAINE
CERTITUDE
C'EST RASSURANT
DE PENSER
QUE JE SUIS SûRE
DE NE PAS ME TROMPER
QUAND IL S'AGIT
DE LA QUESTION
DE MA GRANDE CULPABILITÉ

JE N'AI PAS PEUR
DE DIRE QUE J'AI TRICHÉ
J'AI MIs  LE PLUS PUR
DE MES PENSÉES
SUR LE MARCHÉ
J'AI ENVIE DE LAISSER TOMBER
TOUTE CETTE IDÉE
DE « VéRITÉ »
JE GARDERAIS
POUR ME GUIDER
PLAISIR ET CULPABILITÉ

(Lhasa de Sela)

Boble

Boble av bomull
Spinner rundt
Med meg
Inni seg
Gjennomsiktig

Sansene svimles
Synet sløres
Bobletid

Hver detalj
Blir større her
Som snekrystallens
Mange tær og
Sirkelens mange
Hjørnetenner

(Hanne Hukkelberg)

Edge of The Ocean

There's a place I dream about
Where the sun never goes out.
And the sky is deep and blue.
Won't you take me there with you.

Ohhh, we can begin again.
Shed our skin, let the sun shine in.
At the edge of the ocean
We can start over again.

There's a world I've always known
Somewhere far away from home.
When I close my eyes I see
All the space and mystery.

Ohhh, we can begin again.
Shed our skin, let the sun shine in.
At the edge of the ocean
We can start over again.

(Ivy)

That's Just What You Are

In our endeavor we are never seeing eye to eye
No guts to sever so forever may we wave goodbye
And you're always telling me that it's my turn to move
When I wonder what could make the needle jump the groove
I won't fall for the oldest trick in the book
So don't sit there and think you're off of the hook
By saying there is no use changing 'cause

That's just what you are
That's just what you are

Acting steady always ready to defend your fears
What's the matter with the truth, did I offend your ears
By suggesting that a change might be a thing to try
Like it would kill you just to try and be a nicer guy
It's not like you would lose some critical piece
If somehow you moved point A to point B
Maintaining there is no point changing 'cause

That's just what you are
That's just what you are

Now I could talk to you till I'm blue in the face
But we still would arrive at the very same place
With you running around and me out of the race

So maybe you're right, nobody can take
Something older than time and hope you could make
It better, that would be a mistake
So take it just so far

'Cause that's just what you are
That's just what you are
That's just what you are

Acting steady always ready to defend your fears
What's the matter with the truth, did I offend your ears
You're like a sleepwalking man, it's a danger to wake you
Even when it is apparent where your actions will take you

That's just what you are
And that's just what you are
That's just what you are
That's just what you are

(Aimee Mann)

Bairro do Amor

No bairro do amor a vida é um carrossel
Onde há sempre lugar para mais alguém
O bairro do amor foi feito a lápis de côr
Por gente que sofreu por não ter ninguém

No bairro do amor o tempo morre devagar
Num cachimbo a rodar de mão em mão
No bairro do amor há quem pergunte a sorrir:
Será que ainda cá estamos no fim do Verão?

Eh, pá, deixa-me abrir contigo
Desabafar contigo
Falar-te da minha solidão
Ah, é bom sorrir um pouco
Descontrair-me um pouco
Eu sei que tu compreendes bem

No bairro do amor a vida corre sempre igual
De café em café, de bar em bar
No bairro do amor o Sol parece maior
E há ondas de ternura em cada olhar

O bairro do amor é uma zona marginal
Onde não há prisões nem hospitais
No bairro do amor cada um tem que tratar
Das suas nódoas negras sentimentais

Eh, pá, deixa-me abrir contigo
Desabafar contigo
Falar-te da minha solidão
Ah, é bom sorrir um pouco
Descontrair-me um pouco
Eu sei que tu compreendes bem

(Jorge Palma)

Don't Love You

Oh simple girl
Oh foolish man
Trying to bend these lovers rules
Into a simple plan

Oh aching bones on sleepless bed
They toss and turn and roll away
From words unsaid

It's just that all that you were
Was all I could want
Now I can't trust your lover's tongue
Except to tease and taunt

It's been said best by you
Been said best before
But I just want to let you know
I don't love you anymore

Sad wakes alone
Cradling the phone
Knows that sullen silence
Is the meanest way to moan
But all that you were
Was all that I had
And we could not find a simple way
To work that simple plan

Oh aching bones
Oh sleepless bed
Toss, turn and roll
Away from words unsaid
It's been said best by you
Been said best before

But I just want to let you know I don't
Love you anymore

I just want to let you know
I don't love you anymore

(TV On The Radio)

Ain't Got No, I Got Life

I ain't got no home, ain't got no shoes
Ain't got no money, ain't got no class
Ain't got no friends, ain't got no schooling
Ain't got no work, ain't got no job
Ain't got no man

Then what have I got
Why am I alive anyway?
Yeah, what have I got
Nobody can take away

Got my hair, got my head
Got my brains, got my ears
Got my eyes, got my nose
Got my mouth, I got my smile

I got my tongue, got my chin
Got my neck, got my boobies
Got my heart, got my soul
Got my back, I got my sex

Ain't got no father, ain't got no mother
Ain't got no children, ain't got no faith
Ain't got no earth, ain't got no water
Ain't got no ticket, Ain't got no token,
Ain't got no mind

Then what have I got
Why am I alive anyway?
Yeah, what have I got
Nobody can take away

Got my hair, got my head
Got my brains, got my ears
Got my eyes, got my nose
Got my mouth, I got my smile

I got my tongue, got my chin
Got my neck, got my boobies
Got my heart, got my soul
Got my back, I got my sex

I got my arms, got my hands, got my fingers,
Got my legs, got my feet, got my toes,
Got my liver, got my blood..

I've got life
I've got my freedom
I've got life

(Nina Simone)

Moonrise

Não fique triste
quando eu me apagar
vais partir da vida escura
veja a lua
veja a lua subindo
tomando o seu lugar
ondas de tristeza
para apre..
para apreciar

e assim um dia,
uma novela de paz
uma tempestade que trata as dores
não despede um futuro
que ainda pode ser
os olhos no escuro
ainda podem
ainda podem ver

(Nitin Sawhney)

Her Morning Elegance

Sun been down for days
A pretty flower in a vase
A slipper by the fireplace
A cello lying in it's case

Soon she's down the stairs
Her morning elegance she wears
The sound of water makes her dream
Awoken by a cloud of steam
She pours a daydream in a cup
A spoon of sugar sweetens up

And She fights for her life
As she puts on her coat
And she fights for her life on the train
She looks at the rain
As it pours
And she fights for her life
As she goes in a store
With a thought she has caught
By a thread
She pays for the bread
And She goes...
Nobody knows

Sun been down for days
A winter melody she plays
The thunder makes her contemplate
She hears a noise behind the gate
Perhaps a letter with a dove
Perhaps a stranger she could love

And She fights for her life
As she puts on her coat
And she fights for her life on the train
She looks at the rain
As it pours
And she fights for her life
As she goes in a store
With a thought she has caught
By a thread
She pays for the bread
And She goes...
Nobody knows

And She fights for her life
As she puts on her coat
And she fights for her life on the train
She looks at the rain
As it pours
And she fights for her life
Where people are pleasently strange
And counting the change
And She goes...
Nobody knows

(Oren Lavie)

Step By Step

Step by step
All the happy Saints go marching in
And if one of those Saints step out of line
He'll have to start again
Cause Jacob's golden ladder
Get's slippery at the top
And many a happy-go-lucky saint
Has made that long long drop

If I'm late don't wait
Go on without me
I may tarry awhile
Cause I need to know
Before I go
How come the Devil smiles

If I'm late don't wait
Go on without me
I may tarry awhile
Cause I need to know
Before I go
How come the Devil smiles

Free from care
Free from sin
The Saints are trooping in
The children play all around the throne
Innocent of sin
A trillion voices sing the name
The mortals may not know
And Heaven's walls are too high to hear
The trouble down below

If I'm late don't wait
Go on without me
I may tarry awhile
Cause I need to know
Before I go
How come the Devil smiles
I need to know
Before I go
How come the Devil smiles
I need to know
Before I go
How come the Devil smiles

(Jesse Winchester)

That Particular Time

My foundation was rocked my tried and true way to deal was to vanish
My departures were old I stood in the room shaking in my boots
At that particular time love had challenged me to stay
At that particular moment I knew not run away again
That particular month I was ready to investigate with you
At that particular time

We thought a break would be good for four months we sat and vacillated
We thought a small time apart would clear up the doubts that were abounding
At that particular time love encouraged me to wait
At that particular moment it helped me to be patient
That particular month we needed time to marinate in what us meant

Ive always wanted for you what you've wanted for yourself
And yet I wanted to save us high water or hell
And I kept on ignoring the ambivalence you felt
And in the meantime I lost myself
In the meantime I lost myself
Im sorry I lost myself.i am

You knew you needed more time time spent alone with no distraction
You felt you needed to fly solo and high to define what you wanted
At that particular love encouraged me to leave
At that particular moment I knew staying with you meant deserting me
That particular month was harder than youd believe but I still left
At that particular time

(Alanis Morissette)

Thorn In My Pride

Wake me when the day breaks
Show me how the sun shines
Tell me about your heartaches
Who could be so unkind?
Do you dream to touch me?
And smile down deep inside
Or could you just kill me?
It's hard to make up your mind, sometimes.

My angels, my devils, my thorn in my pride.

Are you wanting inspiration
You spill your secrets on me
Then you tell me with a whisper
Of things that will never be.
Do you hear me breathing?
Does it make you want to scream?
Did you ever like a bad dream?
Sometimes life is obscene.

My angels, my devils, my thorn in my pride.

Lover cover me with your sleep
Let your love light shine
Lover cover me with a good dream
Let your love light shine

(The Black Crowes)

Paint It Black

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens every day

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and must have it painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you

If I look hard enough into the settin' sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls go by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

Hmm, hmm, hmm,...

I wanna see your face, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah!

Hmm, hmm, hmm,...

(Rolling Stones)

Fall In

Don't worry if we fall in love
We will never touch the ground
Don't worry if we fall in love
We will never touch the ground
Just fall into a dream

They say
If you die in a dream
You die in real life
Well
I just died in your arms
Lost in your eyes
And I know
This must be a dream
Cos I feel
Like I can fly to heaven

They say
If you live in a dream
You're hopelessly lost
Well
This ain't just any old dream
For our paths have crossed
And I may be hopelessly lost
But somehow
I've managed to find heaven

And don't worry
If we fall in love
We will never touch the ground
Don't worry if we fall in love
We will never touch the ground
Just fall into a dream
Don't worry if we fall in love
We will never touch the ground
Don't worry if we fall in love
We will never touch the ground
Just fall into a dream

(Esperanza Spalding)
