Reckoner
You can't take it with yer
Dancing for your pleasure

You are not to blame for
Bittersweet distractor
Dare not speak it's name
Dedicated to all human beings

Because we separate like ripples on a blank shore
In rainbows
Because we separate like ripples on a blank shoree

Reckoner
Take me with yer
Dedicated to all human beings

Musician, Please Take Heed

I'm all alone, this is a holiday
Some bloody holiday
My friends have gone away
They're of the temporary sort, I think
I will be better without
As long as you let me out

To taste the air beside the river
I pick the soundtrack with immaculate care
Such a lot rests upon it
My life upon a song
You don't know how much I need
Musician, please take heed

I thought I might just write a letter
Anything to stay away
From books and lessons today
Besides it's part of my induction
Into the literate world
I am a literate girl

I string the words together softly
I lay my love upon you with each line
A gift of improvising
Removes me from revising
I made a daisy chain from
Phrase, verse, and punctuation

I'll kick this mood off with a change of scene
I bought a liatard and go to the gym
I couldn't get away with wearing in my sweater
But I lost a lot of weight
I think it's down to leaving meat out of my diet as a rule
I won't buy it 'cause it's cruel

And if the nighttime threatens me with pain
I will give in to lust
I will do what I must
I've got a number of a girl I know
Who gets hallucinogens from a pair of hooligans

I'll take a dose, I don't mind trying
She lets me stay there while I leave the ground
Oh episodes of mind her
I snuggle up beside her
Think that I'll stay til morning
She's got me started yawning...

Your Hand in Mine

(Explosions In The Sky)

Muda que Muda

Tanta gente sente medo de mudar
Temendo que a aparência perca o seu lugar
E ao tentar mexer com parecidos há em nós
É breve o silêncio até que se erga uma voz
O professor ou do senhor doutor

Nunca se chega a entender a totalidade
E o prazer de não saber vem só com a alta idade
Quem diz tudo saber não merece o benefício
Nem mesmo o homem que se ocupa de um só ofício
A consonância veste a ignorância

Vou andando
Sem dizer adeus
Bem-vinda próxima paragem
Ai Jesus que lá vou eu
Nunca mais me vão ver aqui
Se perguntarem diz que já morri

A pior raça é a de quem vive atrás da coerência
Vê na verdade matemática e no céu ciência
Ser tão pouco agora como já se era antes
É fruto da coerência em certos bons estudantes
Se é p'ra mentir, é p'ra mentir

E ter coragem de mudar é saber enfrentar
Que quando formos para outro lado não vamos voltar
Ter o sorriso pronto para a qualquer momento
Saber que faltámos ao tal grande acontecimento
Se é p'ra mudar, é p'ra perder

Vou andando
Sem dizer adeus
Bem-vinda próxima paragem
Ai Jesus que lá vou eu
Nunca mais me vão ver aqui
Se perguntarem diz que já morri

Vou a caminho do nada
Entrem comigo

(João Coração)

Canção do Monte

Anda cá meu anjo
Aninhou-se um beijo
Sobre o teu cansaço
Em passo a passo
Semear um hino
Sou o teu menino
Dá-me a tua mão

De baguim à ponta
(Dá-me a tua mão)
A história não conta
(Dá-me a tua mão)
Quantos foram fracos
Limpos os pratos
Dorme o tio na eira
Vai-se a vida inteira
Dá-me a tua mão

Choro com o teu riso
(Dá-me a tua mão)
Dizes que é preciso
(Dá-me a tua mão)
Tens-me no teu barco
Atira o meu arco
Se ganhares juízo
Lê o meu aviso
Dá-me a tua mão

Anda cá meu sonho
(Dá-me a tua mão)
Se tirares eu ponho
(Dá-me a tua mão)
Vem deixar-me rouco
A pouco e pouco
Semear um hino
Sou o teu menino
Dá-me a tua mão

Dá-me a tua mão

(Diabo na Cruz)

Just Like Christmas

on our way from stockholm
started to snow
And you said it was like christmas
but you were wrong
it wasn't like christmas at all

by the time we got to oslo
snow was gone
and we got lost
the beds were small
but we felt so young
it was just like christmas

it was just like christmas

(Low)

Last Christmas

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, You gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby do you recognise me?
Well it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

(Merry Christmas!) I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I Love You" I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, You gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
God I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was just a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, You gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

(David Fonseca)

Paranoid Android

Please can you stop the noise, I'm trying to get some rest
From all the unborn chicken voices in my head
What's that...?
What's that...?

When I am king, you will be first against the wall
With your opinion which is of no consequence at all
What's that...?
What's that...?

Ambition makes you look pretty ugly
Kicking, squealing gucci little piggy
You don't remember
You don't remember
Why don't you remember my name?
Off with his head, man
Off with his head, man
Why don't you remember my name? I guess he does...

Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height... height...
Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height... height...

That's it sir
You're leaving
The crackle of pigskin
The dust and the screaming
The yuppies networking
The panic, the vomit
The panic, the vomit
God loves his children, God loves his children, yeah!

(Sia)

Hey Guys! It's Christmas Time!

We can walk out after dark
Because it's Christmas time
Colored lights glow from the park
Because it's Christmas time
And the bells on the reindeer sled say
It's Christmas time
And the quilts on the back of the bed say
It's Christmas time

I think about how we could run away
Now that it's Christmas time
We travel in a one-horse open sleigh
Now that it's Christmas time

There's your father with his pipe
He says it's Christmas time
He might let us stay up all night
Because it's Christmas time
I might wish you all the best
Because it's Christmas time
I might kiss you on the back of your neck
Because it's Christmas time

I think about how we could run away
Now that it's Christmas time
We travel in a one-horse open sleigh
Now that it's Christmas time

It's Christmas time

(Sufjan Stevens)

About Today

Today you were far away
and I didn't ask you why
What could I say
I was far away
You just walked away
and I just watched you
What could I say

How close am I to losing you

Tonight you just close your eyes
and I just watch you
slip away

How close am I to losing you

Hey, are you awake
Yeah I'm right here
Well can I ask you about today

How close am I to losing you
How close am I to losing

(The National)

Half Life

I knew that I'd get like this again
That's why I try to keep at bay
Be a hundred percent when I'm with you and then
The perfect heart's length away

The stickler is you've played not one beat wrong
You never promised me anything
Even sat me down and warned me just how they fall
I knew the odds were I'd never win

Yet here I am

It's a half life
With you as my quarterback
A daft life

My self-worth measured in text back tempo
It's been two days and 8 minutes too slow
Well there may well be others but I still like to pretend
That I'm the one you really want to grow old with

Got a schedule to stick to, got a world to keep sweet
You're so much to everyone all the time
Will you ever slow down? Will I ever come first?
The universe contracts to sigh

It's a half life
With you as my quarterback
A daft life

It's a half life
With you as my quarterback
A daft life

Hold me
Darling, please

Hold me
Darling, please

You know you'll never be lonely, no you'll always be loved
And maybe you never need more than that
But for the surplus that loves, what's to become of us?
Does it even register on your conscience?

Long for one last showdown from a box in a crowd
Air compressed tight to explode
I'm clenching my ticket to the only way out
As you disappear in a puff of smoke

It's a half life
With you as my quarterback
A daft life

(Imogen Heap)

The Universal

This is the next century
Where the Universal's free
You can find it anywhere
Yes, the future's been sold
Every night we're gone
And to karaoke songs
How we like to sing along
'Though the words are wrong

It really, really, really could happen
Yes, it really, really, really could happen
When the days they seem to fall through you
Well, just let them go

No-one here is alone
Satellite's in every home
Yes, the Universal's here
Here for everyone
Every paper that you read
Says tomorrow's your lucky day
Well, here's your lucky day

It really, really, really could happen
Yes, it really, really, really could happen
If the days they seem to fall through you
Well, just let them go

(Blur)

We Have All The Time In The World

We have all the time in the world
Time enough for life to unfold
All the precious things love has in store
We have all the love in the world
If that's all we have, you will find
We need nothing more

Every step of the way will find us
With the cares of the world far behind us

We have all the time in the world
Just for love
Nothing more
Nothing less
Only love

Every step of the way will find us
With the cares of the world far behind us
Yes...

We have all the time in the world
Just for love
Nothing more
Nothing less
Only love

(My Bloody Valentine)

Menina Bordada

Menina bonita bordada de flor
Eu vi primeiro
Todo encanto dessa moça
Todo encanto dessa moça

Vai ver era só dizer a ela assim:

-Oi Moça, por favor, cuida bem de mim

In The Room Where You Sleep

I saw something
sitting on you bed.
I saw something
touching your head.
In the room
where you sleep.
In the room
where you sleep.
Where you......sleep.

You better run.
(You got me runnin'; you got me runnin' hard.)
You better run.
(You got me runnin'; you got me runnin' hard.)
You better hide!
(You got me runnin'; you got me runnin' hard.)
You better hide!
(You got me runnin'. I'm runnin' out of time.)

Oh.......You better run.

Oh....

I saw something
sitting on your bed.
I saw something
touching your head.
In the room
where you sleep.
In the room
where you sleep.
Where you......sleep.

You better run.
(You got me runnin'; you got me runnin' hard.)
You better run.
(You got me runnin'; you got me runnin' hard.)
You better hide!
(You got me runnin'; you got me runnin' hard.)
You better hide!
(You got me runnin'. I'm runnin' out of time.)

Oh..........You better run.

There's something in the shadows
in the corner of your room.
A dark heart is beating
and waiting for you.
There is no open window, but the floors still creep.
In the room where you sleep.
In the room where you sleep......
Where you....sleep.

You better run.
(You got me runnin'; you got me runnin' hard.)
You better run.
(You got me runnin'; you got me runnin' hard.)
You better hide!
(You got me runnin'; you got me runnin' hard.)
You better hide!
(You got me runnin'. I'm runnin' out of time.)

Oh......You better........run.

(Dead Man's Bones)

I'll Be Your Mirror

I'll be your mirror
Reflect what you are, in case you don't know
I'll be the wind, the rain and the sunset
The light on your door to show that you're home

When you think the night has seen your mind
That inside you're twisted and unkind
Let me stand to show that you are blind
Please put down your hands
'Cause I see you

I find it hard to believe you don't know
The beauty you are
But if you don't let me be your eyes
A hand in your darkness, so you won't be afraid

When you think the night has seen your mind
That inside you're twisted and unkind
Let me stand to show that you are blind
Please put down your hands
'Cause I see you

I'll be your mirror
(reflect what you are)

(The Velvet Underground & Nico)
