Desert Island

Life on the outside of a fantasy
The more I bleed, the longer we breathe
And I could have sworn my heart was broken since were having fun
Now you're the one, alone with me

And if you, keep talking crazy 'bout a promise land
I'll understand, and will you to lie
Hard to be stuck on this desert island
My head down in the sand, no complications

Come on lets kick the sun
We'll become one, as the temperature rises

I saw the future, don't know how it ends
It might depend, on whether we leave
And in the moment it was open, you've done jumped the gun
And sunk our dreams out here in the sea
And I said

Don't come unstuck on this desert island
Imagination ends
My hope is fading

From here to kingdom come
You are the one, I'm floating beside

Somewhere our love stands always
By the way, by the sign
We built Atlantis in the space of a day

Our new home, Our new home
Our new home, Our new home
Our new home, Our new home
Our new home, Our new home
Our new home, Our...

We built our own utopia baby
Our own utopia baby (our new home)

We built our own utopia baby
Our own utopia baby (our new home)

Com Que Voz

Com que voz chorarei meu triste fado,
que em tão dura paixão me sepultou.
Que mor não seja a dor que me deixou
o tempo, de meu bem desenganado.

Mas chorar não se estima neste estado
aonde suspirar nunca aproveitou.
Triste quero viver, pois se mudou
em tristeza, a alegria do passado.

De tanto mal, a causa é amor puro,
devido a quem de mim tenho ausente,
por quem a vida e bens dele aventuro.

(Amália Rodrigues)

Os Embeiçados

ela tem
boca torta
nariz grande
cabelo mal cortado
rói as unhas
usa cunhas
mas eu estou apaixonado

ele tem
espinhas sardas
pontos negros
e uma boca exagerada
desafina
e desatina
mas eu estou apaixonada

ela é
ciumenta
rabugenta
embirrenta e tagarela
intriguista
e moralista
mas eu estou louco por ela

ele faz
cenas gagas
altas fitas
não tem confiança em mim
faz-se caro
faz-me trombas
mas eu gosto dele assim

diz-se que o amor é cego
deforma tudo a seu jeito
mas eu acho que o amor
descobre o lado melhor
do que parece defeito

porque eu gosto
gosto dele
e ela gosta
gosta de gostar de mim

Blue Orchids

The ancient streets so crowded and narrow
The winding stairs climb up, up high
The air tonight hangs sour and heavy
I'm dying up here love, lie with me lie


The view electrical and sprawling
The city lights move out and on and on
Out there in the halo of the skyline
My guardian angel looks down upon me


Fall tonight sweet Paris Rain
Shower me in her warm kisses


She rides the halo of the skyline
My fallen sister died so young
And all the gifts you gave I have them
And all your love I'm still holding onto


A fallen star over long lost highways
My fallen love died so young
Our last goodbye I wanted to be there
To bathe the loss from your fading eyes


Close these sweeping long gray curtains
The dizzying spiraling heights


How could I walk these old dim halls again
How could I leave this room all alone


When she comes by every morning
Brings back pink and pale blue orchids
When she comes by every evening
Lays down beside me softly breathing
When she comes by every afternoon
Piano music weeps quietly
As May melts into June

Suicide Is Painless

Through early morning fog I see
The visions of the things to be
The pains that are withheld from me
I realise and I can see

Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
But I can take or leave it if I please

The game of life is hard to play
I'm gonna loose it anyway
But losing cards are some days late
So this is all I have to say

The sword of time will pierce our skin
It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger watch it grin

A brave man once requested me
To answer questions that I keep
"Is it to be or not to be"
And I reply "Oh why ask me ?"

And you can do the same thing if you please
