A Tourada

Não importa sol ou sombra
camarotes ou barreiras
toureamos ombro a ombro
as feras.
Ninguém nos leva ao engano
toureamos mano a mano
só nos podem causar dano
a espera.

Entram guizos chocas e capotes
e mantilhas pretas
entram espadas chifres e derrotes
e alguns poetas
entram bravos cravos e dichotes
porque tudo o mais
são tretas.

Entram vacas depois dos forcados
que não pegam nada.
Soam brados e olés dos nabos
que não pagam nada
e só ficam os peões de brega
cuja profissão
não pega.

Com bandarilhas de esperança
afugentamos a fera
estamos na praça
da Primavera.

Nós vamos pegar o mundo
pelos cornos da desgraça
e fazermos da tristeza
graça.

Entram velhas doidas e turistas
entram excursões
entram benefícios e cronistas
entram aldrabões
entram marialvas e coristas
entram galifões
de crista.

Entram cavaleiros à garupa
do seu heroísmo
entra aquela música maluca
do passodoblismo
entra a aficionada e a caduca
mais o snobismo
e cismo...

Entram empresários moralistas
entram frustrações
entram antiquários e fadistas
e contradições
e entra muito dólar muita gente
que dá lucro as milhões.

E diz o inteligente
que acabaram as canções.

(A Naifa)

Sleepy Song

Tell me
I can think right
Am I going home tonight
Or staying here?

Turn over
Turn out the light
I'm going home tonight
Not staying here
If you let me sleep
I won't wake up
I haven't closed my eyes for days
Sleep
I won't wake up
I haven't closed my eyes

Tell me
I can think right
I'm going home tonight
Not staying here

Turn over
Turn out the light
I'm going home tonight
Not staying here
If you let me sleep
I won't wake up
I haven't closed my eyes for days
Sleep
I won't wake up
I haven't closed my eyes

(Tindersticks)

One Half

I guess I was asleep that night
Was waiting far
I guess I was asleep that night
Was waiting far
I guess I was asleep that night
Was waiting far
I guess I was asleep that night
Was waiting far

I was waiting here
Come around me
I was waiting here
Come around me
I was waiting here
Come around me
I was waiting here
Come around me
I was waiting here


(Julianna Barwick)

Almost Home

All this time
In a moment's time
To turn away
Leave it all behind

So we climb
So we all uphold the line
The crowd is home
The treasure found

So let it go
Wake up, wake up, wake up
We're almost home

Time to scout
When I was a child there
I know at heart
To be at your side

So we climb
So we all uphold the line
I dream it too
The stars remind

So let it go
Wake up, wake up, wake up
We're almost home

All this time
In a moment's time
To turn away
Leave it all behind

So we climb
So we all uphold the line
The crowd is home
The treasure found

So let it go
Wake up, wake up, wake up
We're almost home

(Moby feat. Damien Jurado)

47 seconds are enough if you only have one thing to do

I don't think it's my time.
I don't think it's your time.
Just turn around and take me
and take me
and take me
and take me.
I don't think it's my time.

Eliza

The lonely won’t hold me for good

Peaceful is gleaming she stood

To see her, to be her, to change

As if like a kiss we’re the same

So hold me up, hold me up

If only I could be you

Eliza

My sister, my pistol below

If you could know all that I know

I’m falling, no warning, no way

Tomorrow, tomorrow’s too late

So hold me up, hold me up

I know that I could be you

Eliza

So priceless and godless I wait

To leave this soul behind

Untangle the jangle of bells

They ring my fear through the night

(Anna Calvi)

Common Burn

Simple things like your overcoat
And your beauty
That still are burnin' me

Let me hang around
Even if it's just some way
To have some common burn

A common burn

So I spend the night in someone's house
That you glowed in
Oh simple me that you fled

But we have that in common
That common burn
That common burn

Oh well
Haven't I said
So many times before
You could sit around
And have everything that you score
Just don't come home and say you've been asleep
When you know you're burnin' someone

That common burn
That common burn
You know we have
