So On, Nevada

I DON'T RECALL EVER A TIME WHEN YOU FELT FINE 
WHEN LEAVING THE ROOM, SAYING YOU WOULD COME BACK, AND I BELIEVED YOU

DON'T HIDE YOUR SMILE 
DON'T BE SET IN YOUR WAYS 

I'LL BIDE MY TIME WITH YOU BY SIDE IN COLORADO 
THE BIRDS WILL FLY SOUTH,  SO YOU TAKE THEIR ADVICE 
AND LEAVE ALSO 

DON'T CALL MY BLUFF 
DON'T GUESS WHAT I DO 

IT'S NOT THAT I MIND YOU
JUST HANGING AROUND 
I KNOW THAT YOU MEAN WELL 
BUT IT'S DRAGGING ME DOWN

I'LL CUT ME TIES, AND FINALLY DECIDE ON A NEW HOME 
I'LL PHONE YOU FROM SOMEWHERE, SOME TIME AND SO ON, NEVADA

DON'T CALL MY FRIENDS - THEY WON'T ANSWER THE PHONE

(Damien Jurado) 

Et Si Tu N'Existais Pas

Et si tu n’existais pas,
Dis-moi pourquoi j’existerais?
Pour traîner dans un monde sans toi,
Sans espoir et sans regrets.

Et si tu n’existais pas,
J’essaierais d’inventer l’amour,
Comme un peintre qui voit sous ses doigts
Naître les couleurs du jour.
Et qui n’en revient pas.

Et si tu n’existais pas,
Dis-moi pour qui j’existerais?
Des passantes endormies dans mes bras
Que je n’aimerais jamais.

Et si tu n’existais pas,
Je ne serais qu’un point de plus
Dans ce monde qui vient et qui va,
Je me sentirais perdu,
J’aurais besoin de toi.

Et si tu n’existais pas,
Dis-moi comment j’existerais?
Je pourrais faire semblant d’être moi,
Mais je ne serais pas vrai.

Et si tu n’existais pas,
Je crois que je l’aurais trouvé,
Le secret de la vie, le pourquoi,
Simplement pour te créer
Et pour te regarder.

(Iggy Pop)

Why's she telling me the story of her life?
All the things you wanna kill will give you spite
And if you've taken all the prisoners inside
As they're doling out their wisdom in the fire

I will say!
I will say don't judge me!
I will say!
I will say don't judge me!
I wait on a darkened highway!
I wait on a darkened highway!

I can take as long as without looking by
Why's she telling me the story of her life
And if you've taken all the prisoners inside
As they've thrown all their wisdom in the fire

I will say!
I will say don't judge me!
I will say!
I will say don't judge me!
I wait on a darkened highway!
I wait on a darkened highway!

I will say!
I will say don't judge me!
I will say!
I will say don't judge me!
I wait on a darkened highway!
I wait on a darkened highway!

A Real Hero

Real human being
And a real hero

Back against the wall and odds
With the strength of a will and a cause
Your pursuits are called outstanding
You're emotionally complex

Against the grain of dystopic claims
On the thoughts your actions entertained
And you have proved to be

A real human being and a real hero
Real human being and a real hero
Real human being and a real hero
Real human being and a real hero
Real human being

A pilot on a cold, cold morn’
One-hundred fifty-five people on board
All safe and all rescued
From the slowly sinking ship

Water warmer than his head so cool
In that tight bind knew what to do
And you have proved to be

A real human being and a real hero
Real human being and a real hero
Real human being and a real hero
Real human being and a real hero
Real human being

Real human being
Real human being

(College feat. Electric Youth)

(You Will) Set The World On Fire

Midnight in the village
She gonna light the candle
From vigorin to cast light
Baez leaves the stage
No twin the black of guitar
Burnt together all in rage
You've got what it takes
You say too much

Oh you will set the world babe
You will set the world on fire
I can work the scene and
I can see the magazines
I can hear the nation
I can hear the nation cry
You will set the world babe
You will set the world on fire
You will set it on fire

Kennedy would kill for the lines that you've written
Van Ronk says to Bobby, she's the next real thing
Cracks still at hell fly, screaming like a banshee
You're in the boat babe, reel in the water
You say too much

Oh you will set the world babe
You will set the world on fire
I can work the scene and
I can see the magazines
I can hear the nation
I can hear the nation cry
You will set the world babe
You will set the world on fire
You will set it on fire

Oh you will set the world babe
You will set the world on fire
I can work the scene and
I can see the magazines
I can hear the nation
I can hear the nation cry
You will set the world babe
You will set the world on fire
You will set it on fire.

(David Bowie)

Shenandoah

Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Look away, you rollin' river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
Look away, we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri.

Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Look away, you rollin' river
It was for her I'd cross the raging waters
Look away, we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri.

For seven long years I courted Sally
Look away, you rollin' river
She broke my heart in this here valley
Look away, we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri.



(Tom Waits and Keith Richards)

Canção do Engate

Tu estás livre e eu estou livre
E há uma noite para passar
Porque não vamos unidos
Porque não vamos ficar
Na aventura dos sentidos

Tu estás só e eu mais só estou
Tu que tens o meu olhar
Tens a minha mão aberta
À espera de se fechar
Nessa tua mão deserta

Vem que o amor
Não é o tempo
Nem é o tempo
Que o faz
Vem que o amor
É o momento
Em que eu me dou
Em que te dás

Tu que buscas companhia
E eu que busco quem quiser
Ser o fim desta energia
Ser um corpo de prazer
Ser o fim de mais um dia

Tu continuas à espera
Do melhor que ja não vem
E a esperanca foi encontrada
Antes de ti por alguém
E eu sou melhor que nada

(António Variações)

Se Deus Quiser

Acordo cedo, que tormento
Levantar o corpo morto
Tanto sono, tanto medo
De um atraso no emprego
Tomo o leite do costume
Quando há tempo torro o pão
E num ai estou no carro
Já cismando com o patrão
Finco o pé bem a fundo
Travo, finto meio mundo
Passo o sinal vermelho
Fito a bofia pelo espelho
Vem portagem acidente
Três cigarros de repente
Buzinões insultos ameaças
Indisposta tanta gente

Mas se Deus quiser
Terei um dia casa, mordomo e chauffeur
E se Deus quiser haverá quem me sirva
Malgas de caviar com a colher

Respiro fundo mesmo fundo
Para ganhar resistência
Um sorriso amarelo para o colega carrancudo
E aos poucos vou enchendo
Com os nervos o cinzeiro
Doi-me o peito a cabeça na verdade o corpo inteiro
Vem o almoço, que repasto, sandes e mini ao balcão
Pelo menos nessa hora há com a bola, animação
Pico às duas, risco as três, quatro, cinco
Só mais três, saio às oito morto
Foge a vida debaixo dos pés

Mas se Deus quiser
Terei um dia casa, mordomo e chauffeur
E se Deus quiser haverá quem me sirva
Malgas de caviar com a colher

Chego a casa quase às dez
Tanto andei nem sinto os pés
Vejo o puto de relance
Já tão grogue pelo sono
Conto história, faço mimo, adormeço o menino
O jantar é fastfood pra trincar devagarinho
Fico em frente ao novo plasma
Com a série mais em voga
Deixo-me ir naquela história
Que sonhar ainda não custa
Adormeço a babar-me, lado a lado com a Maria
Que não tem a vida que em solteira, eu lhe prometi

Mas se Deus quiser
Terei um dia casa, mordomo e chauffeur
E se Deus quiser haverá quem me sirva
Malgas de caviar com a colher

Mas se Deus quiser
Terei um dia casa, mordomo e chauffeur
E se Deus quiser haverá quem me sirva
Malgas de caviar com a colher
