Nothing As It Seems

Don't feel like home,.. he's a little out...
And all these words elope,.. it's nothing like your poem...
Putting in,.. inputting in,.. don't feel like methadone...
Scratching voice.. all alone,.. it's nothing like your baritone
It's nothing as it seems,.. the little that he needs,. it's home
The little that he sees,.. is nothing. He concedes,.. it's home

One uninvited chromosome,.. a blanket like the ozone.
It's nothing as it seems, all that he needs,. it's home...
The little that he frees,.. is nothing, he believes...

Saving up a sunny day,.. something maybe two tone...
Anything to call his own,.. a chip off the cornerstone...
Who's kidding, rainy day,...one way ticket headstone...
Occupations overthrown,.. a whisper thru a megaphone...

It's nothing as it seems,... the little that he needs,... it's home
The little that he sees, ..is nothing. He concedes,. it's home...
And all that he frees,... a little bittersweet,.. it's home...
It's nothing as it seems,.. the little that you see,.. it's home...

(Pearl Jam)

Stranded Pearl

there's a power in that division
in the hour of revision
when the taste of love has all but gone sour
when i look into your eyes i surrender
such surrender is rendered justified
you stand with a boot upon my fender
reflecting on my glass eye
out amongst the willows and the briars
on the streets between the man made spires
in the tangulation of too many wires
love's translation still transpires
every girl is like a pearl
hearts strung along and then left stranded
this world is worn, all frayed and torn
men in uniform is not what love had demanded
i lost me my eye in a battle
was sent to rattle their cage
lost sight of the big picture
now this permanent fixture is my rage
when i look into your eyes i surrender
such surrender is rendered justified
you stand with a boot upon my fender
gingham hiked high, looking so fine
reflecting on my glass eye

(Giant Sand feat. Isobel Campbell)

Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream

Last night I had the strangest dream I've ever known before...I
dreamed that all the world agreed to put an end to war...I dreamed
I saw a mighty room...the room was filled with men...and the papers
they were signing said they'd never fight again.And when the papers
was all signed, and a million copies made, they all joined their hands and
bowed their heads and greatful prayers were prayed...and the people
in the streets below were dancing round and round...while swords and
guns and uniforms were scattered to the ground...Last night I had the
strangest dream I've ever known before...I dreamed that all the world
agreed to put an end to war....

(Johnny Cash)

Big Bird in a Small Cage

There was a house halfway 'round the world
And I was invited in for a small taste of gin
There was a hallway a thousand birds long
But the biggest one of all was in a
Cage too small

I asked the caretaker cause he was the Maker
Looked at me and laughed took another sip from his glass and said
Open up your ears and heart
You put a big bird in a small cage it'll sing you a song

That we all love to sing along
To the sound of the bird that wants

Well we rolled into town, into sweet New Orleans
To the Apple Bell bar there was a hole in the wall
The ceilings weren't tall, the floors were the ground
but the sound that you would make would just warm your heart

Well it was quarter to twelve when the boys walked in
They got their black suits on and the songs would begin
You open up your ears and heart
You put a big bird in a small cage it'll sing you a song

That we all love to sing along
To the sound of the bird that wants

(To the sound of the bird that wants)
(You put a big bird in a small cage it'll sing you a song)

(Patrick Watson)

One Life Stand

Tell me where you've been to
Nowhere that you shouldn't do
tell me what you're good for
I can tell you something too
Where have you been staying
tell me what you're playing
Hope its not my conscious
You will always be my baby

(Keep on feeling)
I only wanna be your one life stand
(Keep on feeling)
Tell me do you stand by your whole man

Wishes keep remaining
Nothing will contain it
A baloon where they're escapin'
Theres nothing but a play thing
Moments keep us guessing
And lead us from temptation
But better to embrace them
And measure our relation

(Keep on feeling)
I only wanna be your one life stand
(Keep on feeling )
Tell me do you stand by your whole man

(Hot Chip)

Together in Electric Dreams

I only knew you for a while
I never saw your smile
Till it was time to go
Time to go away (time to go away)

Sometimes its hard to recognise
Love comes as a surprise
And its too late
It's just to late to stay (to late to stay)

We'll always be together
However far it seems (love never ends)
We'll always be together
Together in electric dreams

Because the friendship that you gave
Has taught me to be brave
No matter where I go
I'll never find a better prize (find a better prize)

Though your miles and miles away
I see you everyday
I don't have to try
I just close my eyes
I close my eyes

(Giorgio Moroder & Phil Oakey)

Eleva!

olha sempre de perto
e anda sempre por perto
nesta vida nada tens como certo

Aeon

Oh aeon
My baby boy
Oh aeon will take care of me

All the stars, your eyes
Raining just for me
Oh aeon will set me free

Oh aeon
My baby boy
Oh aeon will repair me

Oh his heart enjoyed
Restores eyes alloyed
Carry me through the olden void

Oh aeon
His arms are warm
Oh aeon was never born

Aeon’s eyes forlorn
He contains the storm
He’s the pasture of my dawn

Oh aeon
My baby boy
Oh aeon will take care of me

Hold my father
For it is myself
Without him I wouldn’t exist

Oh aeon
Love my father
For my father is myself

Hold that man
In your tender clutch
Hold that man I love so much

(Antony and The Johnsons)

Why Can't I Forget Him

Ohhhh, oh, oh
Block the song
Block out everyone
'Cause I'm down here
I need you
But we're through

Tried to be cool, actin' a fool, waitin' around
For a phone but I don't hear a sound

Things don't change, they stay the same
If you let 'em
He's on my mind, 'bout all the time
Why can't I forget him?
Why can't I forget him?

The city streets
Won't let me sleep
'Cause everybody's watchin' me
Rather be dead than
Face what's ahead
Stranded out on the street
Tried to be cool, actin' a fool, waitin' around
For the phone but I don't hear a sound

Things don't change, they stay the same
If you let 'em
He's on my mind, 'bout all the time
Why can't I forget him?
Why can't I forget him?
Things don't change, they stay the same
If you let 'em
He's on my mind, 'bout all the time
Why can't I forget him?
Why can't I forget him?

(Blakroc feat. Nicole Wray)

Teardrops

Whenever I hear goodbyes, reminds me baby of you
I break down and cry, next time I'll be true, yeah
Fever for lost romance reminds me baby of you
I took a crazy chance
Next time I'll be true, I'll be true, I'll be true
Footsteps on the dance floor reminds me baby of you
Teardrops in my eyes, next time I'll be true, yeah
Whispers in the powder room
"She cries on every tune, every tune, every tune"


And the music don't feel like it did
And the music don't feel like it did
And the music don't feel like it did
With you

When I'm dancin' 'round, reminds me baby of you
I really let you down, next time I'll be true
I'll be true, I'll be true, I'll be true

Footsteps on the dance floor reminds me baby of you
Teardrops in my eyes, next time I'll be true, yeah
Whispers in the powder room
"She cries on every tune, every tune, every tune"

And the music don't feel like it did
And the music don't feel like it did
And the music don't feel like it did
With you

Me And The Devil / Your Soul And Mine

Early this mornin'
when you knocked upon my door
Early this mornin'
when you knocked upon my door
And I said, "Hello, Satan,"
I believe it's time to go."

Me and the Devil
walkin' side by side
Me and the Devil
walkin' side by side
And I'm goin' to see my woman
until I get satisfied

She say you don't see why
that you will dog me 'round
(Now, babe, you know you ain't doin' me right)
She say you don't see why
that you will dog me 'round
It must-a be that old evil spirit
so deep down in the ground

You may bury my body
down by the highway side
(Baby, I don't care where you bury my body when I'm dead and gone)
You may bury my body
down by the highway side
So my old evil spirit
can catch a Greyhound bus and ride

...

So if you see the vulture coming
Flying circles in your mind
Remember there is no escaping
For he will follow close behind
Only promise me a battle
Battle for your soul, and mine.

(Gil Scott-Heron)

In Another Time

You'll be surprised girl,
Soon they will mean nothing to you
They will fall into their own
And take some of the boys with them to
There's nothing
Nothing that you have to do

In another time girl
Tears won't leave a trace
In another time girl
In another place

You've been down girl,
There were those who put stones in your face
So tired of waiting
For something to change

They don't know what to do with
Something so good
But you wouldn't hurt them,
You wouldn't hurt them if you could
On of these days they gonna fall into their world
And they will know exactly what they did to you

Darling I just want you to know
Your tears won't leave a trace,
In another time girl,
In another time girl
In another place

(Sade)

Zebra

You know you're gold, you don't gotta worry none
Oasis child, born and so wild
Don't I know you better than the rest
All deception, all deception from you

Your love is stag in the white sand
Wilderness for miles, eyes so mild and wise
Don't I know you better than the rest
All deception, all deception from you

Any way you run, you run before us
Black and white horse arching among us

Your love is stag in the white sand
Oasis child born into a man
Don't I know you better than the rest
All deception, all deception from you

Wilderness for miles, eyes so mild and wise
Oasis child, born and so wild
Don't I know you better than the rest
All deception, all deception from you

Any way you run, you run before us
Black and white horse arching among us

A Teenager In Love

NOW YOU GO UNSEEN, PERFECT YOU’LL STAY HIDDEN
AND I CAN DREAM OF THINGS YOU’LL NEVER SEE
ALLI PLEASE, IF YOU ARE BRAVER THAN THE REST,
THERE’S LITTLE LEFT THAT COULD DISPUTE YOUR CLAIM

AND WHEN YOU’D FINALLY GONE,
HE TELLS ME “SHE WAS DEAD ALL ALONG”
HE WAS WRONG, HE HADN’T LIVED A DAY
THE WAY YOU LIVED YOUR FINAL DAYS
A TEENAGER IN LOVE WITH CHRIST AND HEROIN

NOW YOU FEEL ASHAMED
BUT HE FEELS NOTHING OF THE KIND
HE TALKS OF THINGS HE WOULDN’T MIND TO TRY SOMETIME,
BUT YOU’VE GOT LITTLE LEFT TO GIVE
HIS TOUCH IS NOT A THING YOU’LL EVER MISS

AND WHEN YOU’D FINALLY GONE,
HE TELLS ME “SHE WAS DEAD ALL ALONG”
HE WAS WRONG, HE HADN’T LIVED A DAY
THE WAY YOU LIVED YOUR FINAL DAYS
A TEENAGER IN LOVE WITH CHRIST AND HEROIN

AND IF YOU MADE A STAND,
I’D STAND WITH YOU ‘TIL THE END
BUT YOU DON’T NEED A FRIEND WHEN YOU’RE
A TEENAGER IN LOVE WITH CHRIST AND HEROIN

Paradise Circus

It's unfortunate that when we feel a storm
we can roll ourselves over 'cause we're uncomfortable
oh where the devil makes us sin
but we like it when we're spinning in his grip.

Love is like a sin my love
For the one that feels it the most
Look at her with a smile like a flame
She will love you like a fly will never love you, again

It's unfortunate that when we feel a storm
we can roll ourselves over when we're uncomfortable
oh well the devil makes us sin
but we like it when we're spinning in his grip.

(Massive Attack)

You've Changed

Stealing hearts was your pastime
I saw girls falling hook line
You stole kisses and threw them aside
Hits and misses your love-side

You’ve changed for the better
You’ve changed for the better

Making waves was your hobby
And I asked you to hold me
And I knew it
You do it in front of the world
And I’ll end up different from the other girls

You’ve changed for the better
You’ve changed for the better

(Sia)
