The Sensational Alex Harvey Band - Next (1974)

(Jacques Brel/Mort Shuman)

N E X T
Naked a sin
An army towel, covering my belly
Some of us weep, some of us howl
Knees turn to jelly, but Next! Next!
I was just a child
A hundred like me
I followed a naked body
A naked body followed me, Next! Next!
I was just a child when my innocence was lost
In a mobile army whorehouse
A gift of the army, free of cost. Next! Next! Next!

Me, I really would have liked a little bit of tenderness
Maybe a word, maybe a smile, maybe some happiness, but Next! Next!
Oh, it was not so tragic
and heaven did not fall
But how much at that time
I hated being there at all, Next! Next!
I still recall the brothel trucks, the flying flags
The queer lieutenant slapped our arses
He's thinking we are fags. Next! Next! Next!

I swear on the wet headof my
First case of gonorrhea
It is his ugly voice that I forever fear, Next! Next!
A voice that stinks of whiskey, corpses and of mud
The voice of nations
The thick voice of blood, Next! Next!
Since then each woman I have taken into bed
They seem to lie in my arms
And they whisper in my head, Next! Next!

Oh, the naked and the dead
Could hold each other's hands
As they watch me dream at night
In a dream that nobody understands
And though I am not dreaming in a voice grown dry 'n' hollow
I stand on endless naked lines of the following and the followed
The Next! Next!

One day I'll cut my legs off
I'll burn myself alive
I'll do anything to get out of life, to survive
Not ever to be next, Next! Next!
Not ev....er... to be next, not ev............er.....ahh.

The xx - VCR (2010)

You, you still have all the answers
and you, you still have them too
and we, we live half in the day time
and we, we live half at night

Watch things on VCRs, with me and talk about big love
I think we're superstars, you say you think we are the best thing

But you, you just know, you just do

When i find myself by the sea, in anothers company by the sea
When I go out the pier, gonna die and have no fear
Because you, you just know, you just do

Watch things on VCRs, with me and talk about big love
I think we're superstars, you say you think we are the best thing

But you, you just know, you just do.

The Rivieras - California Sun (1964)

Well, I'm goin' out west where I belong
Where the days are short and the nights are long
Where they walk and I'll walk
They twist and I'll twist
They shimmy and I'll shimmy
They fly and I'll fly
Well they're out there a'havin' fun
In that warm California sun.

Well, I'm goin' out west out on the coast
Where the California girls are really the most
Where they walk and I'll walk
They twist and I'll twist
They shimmy and I'll shimmy
They fly and I'll fly
Well they're out there a'havin' fun
In that warm California sun.

[24-second Instrumental Interlude]

Well the girls are frisky in old ‘Frisco
A pretty little chick wherever you go
A-a-and they'll walk and I'll walk
They'll twist and I'll twist
They'll shimmy and I'll shimmy
They'll fly and I'll fly
Well they're out there a'havin' fun
In that warm California sun

Yeah they're out there a'havin' fun
In that warm California sun.

Massive Attack - Girl I Love You (feat. Horace Andy) (2010)

Girl I love you but your loving has gone forever
Gonna miss you but my love has gone forever
I say I love you but your loving has gone forever
Gonna miss you but my love has gone forever

Girl I'm back in Spanish town ain't no trouble coming around
You promise you will never let me down
If you love me that much you will stick around

It's hard to tell that your love exist
But I know this one is for real

Girl I love you but your loving has gone forever
Forever

Girl I love you but your loving has gone forever
Gonna miss you but my love has gone forever
I say I love you but your loving has gone forever.

Robin Trower - Day Of The Eagle - 1975

I saw a light, just up ahead
But I couldn't seem to rise up from my bed
I'm not alone, than I am
People seem to think I'm superman
But I watch for the love
I'm living in the day of the eagle, the eagle not the, dove

It's like a weight, that brings me down
If I don't move, I'm on the ground
It's in my mind, It's in my soul
It's telling me the things I can't be told
It's a watch for the love
Living in the day of the eagle, eagle not the, dove

Another day, another night
I want to love, they want to fight
I need the time, I got to be alone
I got to meet a lover on my own
I watch for the love
Living in the day of the eagle, eagle not the, dove

Σπύρος Σακκάς - Δεν Είμαστε Ζουλού

Τη μέρα εκείνη την αρχαία
των προπαππούδων η παλιά τρελοπαρέα
αποβιβάστηκε με μπόγους και μπαούλα
στου κάβο-Μπλούμ τη χρυσορόδινη μυτούλα.

Και τα βουνά ετούτα ακόμα αντιλαλούν απ' το σουξέ
που τραγουδούσαν μ' ένα στόμα:
"Δεν είμαστε Ζουλού δεν είμαστε Παπούα,
είμαστε η άγρια φυλή των Λιλιπούα".

Της αποβάσεως τη μέρα
την εγιορτάζουμε όλοι μέρα παρά μέρα
περικυκλώνοντας με βάρκες και φελούκες
τον Κάβο-Μπλούμ, που του πετάμε στρακαστρούκες.

Κι αέρας, κύματα και χώμα αντιλαλούν απ' το σουξέ
που τραγουδάμε μ' ένα στόμα:
"Δεν είμαστε Ζουλού δεν είμαστε Παπούα,
είμαστε δισέγγονα των άγριων Λιλιπούα".

Vampire Weekend - Cousins

You found a sweater on the ocean floor.
They're gonna find it if you didn't close the door.
You and the smart one sit outside of their sight,
In a house on a street they wouldn't park on at night.

Dad was a risk taker, his was a shoe maker,
You, greatest hits 2006 little list maker.

Heard codes in the melodies, you heeded the call,
You were born with ten fingers, and you're gonna use em all.

Interest in colors I discovered myself.
If your art-life is gritty, you'll be toastin' my health.
If an interest in culture, you should be lining the walls,
When interest is your birthright, you could just accrue it all.

Me and my cousins, and you and your cousins,
It's a line thats always running.

Me and my cousins and you and your cousins,
I can feel it coming.

You can turn your back on the bitter world.

The Undertones - It's Gonna Happen

Happens all the time
It's going to happen - happen - till your change your mind
It's going to happen - happen - happens all the time
It's going to happen - happen - till your change your mind

Best story I ever heard
The truth about fat Mr X and the young girl
See how far he'll let you go
Before he persuades you when you're walking home

Happens all the time...

Watching your friends passing by
Going to sleep without blinking a blue eye
Too slow to notice what's wrong
Two faced to you when you're taking them on

Happens all the time...

Everything goes when you're dead
Everything empties from what was in your head
No point in waiting today
Stupid revenge is what's making you stay

It's going to happen - happen - till your change your mind.

Ντίνος Σαδίκης (Εν Πλω) - Χωρίς Κανόνα

Είμαι ένα φύλλο του φθινόπωρου που πέφτει,
είμαι ένα στρώμα από φύλλα πεταμένα
κι αυτό το κίτρινο το χώμα που με βάφει,
κάποια στιγμή θα γίνει ένα και με μένα
Θα πλανηθώ μεσ' στις πτυχές του δέρματος σου,
θ' ακολουθώ κάθε τυχαία χαραγή σου
κι όπου με βγάλει θα φωλιάσω το χειμώνα,
χωρίς κανόνα!

Είμαι μια δύναμη κρυμμένη και το ξέρω
όμως δε ξέρω τι ζημιά μπορώ να κάνω,
Ζω σ' ένα πόλεμο που τρώει τα σωθικά μου,
που όμως κάποτε θα φάει και εμένα.
Στην μυρωδιά σου να μεθάω και να χάνομαι,
μόνο το χρώμα της πνοής σου να αισθάνομαι.
Έτσι ζεστά θα τον περάσω τον χειμώνα,
χωρίς κανόνα!

Είμαι ποτάμι που παρέσυρε τα δέντρα,
κάθε σταγόνα μου τα φύλλα τους δροσίζει,
μα δεν αρκεί αυτό ζωή για να τους δώσει
κι έτσι όλο κλέβουνε ζωή μόνο από μένα.
Πού θα με παν αυτοί οι δρόμοι σου δεν ξέρω
κι αυτό το άγνωστο με κάνει και σε θέλω.
Σ' αυτό το αίνιγμα κουρνιάζω τον χειμώνα
χωρίς κανόνα!

Είμαι ένα πλάτωμα, μια βάση για πυραύλους,
είμαι ένας πύραυλος που έκαψε τη βάση
κι αυτή η θλίψη μου δεν θα σβηστεί στ' αστέρια,
γι' αυτό θλιμμένο βλέπετε πάντα εμένα.
Κι έτσι όπως βλέπω να σε σέρνω και να σέρνομαι
κι όταν σε παίρνω να πετάμε και να φεύγουμε,
θα τον μπερδέψουμε για πάντα τον χειμώνα,
χωρίς κανόνα!

Εν Πλω - Χωρίς κανόνα.mp3

Brett Dennen - Ain't No Reason

There ain’t no reason things are this way
It's how they always been and they intend to stay
I can't explain why we live this way,
We do it everyday.

Preachers on the podium speaking of saints
Paupers on the sidewalk begging for change
Old ladies laughing from the fire escape, cursing my name
I got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same
A window and a pigeon with a broken wing
You can spend you whole life working for something,
Just to have it taken away
People walk around pushing back their debts
Wearing pay checks like necklaces and bracelets
Talking 'bout nothing, not thinking 'bout death
Every little heartbeat, every little breath
People walk a tight rope on a razor’s edge
Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons
It could be a bomb, or a bullet, or a pen
Or a thought, or a word, or a sentence

There ain't no reason things are this way
It's how they always been and they intend to stay
I don’t know why I say the things that I say,
But I say them anyway

But love will come set me free
Love will come set me free, I do believe
Love will come set me free, I know it will
Love will come set my free, yes.

Prison walls still standing tall
Some things never change at all
Keep on building prisons, gonna fill them all
Keep building bombs, gonna drop them all
Working your fingers bare to the bone
Breaking your back, make you sell your soul
Like a lung, it's filled with coal, sufficating slow
The wind blows wild and I may move
But politicians lie and I am not fooled
You don't need no reason or a three piece suit, to argue the truth
The air on my skin and the world under my toes
Slavery is stitched into the fabric of my clothes
Chaos and commotion wherever I go
Love, I try to follow

Love will come set me free
Love will come set me free, I do believe
Love will come set me free, I know it will
Love will come set my free, yes.

There ain't no reason things are this way
It's how they always been and they intend to stay
I can't explain why we live this way,
We do it everyday.

Neil Young - Throw Your Hatred Down

Here in the conscious world
We place our theories down
Why man must bring us
to our knees
Before he sees the weakness
of his sinful plan
The power in his hand
Will never touch a friend

Throw your hatred down
Throw your hatred down

[solo]

Meanwhile in the underworld
The weaknesses are seen
By peasants and presidents
Who plan the counter-scheme
Children in the schoolyard
Finish choosing teams
Divided by their dreams
While a TV screams

Throw your weapons down
Throw your weapons down

[solo]

The wheel of fortune
Keeps on rollin' down
The street that's paved
with sinful plans
There but for circumstance
May go you or I
Dressed in gold lame
Find a place to stay

Throw your hatred down
Throw your hatred down
Throw your hatred down
Throw your weapons down

Nataie Merchant - This House Is On Fire

This house is on fire!
Kick off your boots, come sit a spell.
Listen to me worry, come and listen well.
All you better best come and lean in boys, I don't dare raise my voice.
I've been sitting here for the longest time reading all the warning and the danger signs.
I don't have the gift of the prophecy, telling everybody how it's going to be.

Soon come, soon come the day this tinderbox is gonna blow in your face.
I don't have the gift of the prophesy, telling everybody how it's going to be.
You go passing wrong for right and right for wrong
People only stand for that for just so long.

It's all gonna catch like a house on fire, spark an evil blaze and burn higher.
Well, I don't have the gift of the prophesy, telling everybody how it's going to be.
You go passing wrong for right and right for wrong
People only stand for that for just so long.
I don't have the gift of the prophesy, telling everybody how it's going to be.
There's a wild fire catching in the whip of the wind
That could start a conflagration like there has never been.
This house is on fire!

Toyah - Thunder In The Mountains

Where the mountains meet the sea
And lights spit stains on the scenery
And the air is heavy with a sticky unease
I wish for my world of make believe

And the rebel in my soul says go
And the rebel in my soul says go

Can you hear it breaking through?
Can you hear it breaking through?
Thunder and lightning
Thundering thundering in the mountains

There's a motorway it's a monument
To distant cities with distant cries
A problem an explosion
Just a spark sets the anger in motion

And the rebel in my soul says go
And the rebel in my soul says go

Can you hear it breaking through?
Can you hear it breaking through?
Thunder and lightning
Thundering thundering in the mountains

Can you hear it in the mountains
Can you hear it breaking through?
Can you hear it breaking through?

Thunder and lightning
Thundering thundering in the mountains
Can you hear it breaking through?
Can you hear it breaking through?

Thunder and lightning
Thundering thundering in the mountains
And its breaking through
Breaking through
Breaking through

Ελευθερία Αρβανιτάκη - Όχι μαζί

Στίχοι: Γιώργος Ιωάννου
Μουσική: Νίκος Μαμαγκάκης
Πρώτη εκτέλεση: Ελευθερία Αρβανιτάκη

Μην περπατάς, μην περπατάς μαζί μου
να μη σε γράψουνε
με ξέρουνε στην πιάτσα
και θα σε κάψουνε

Περπατά το κατόπι πάνω στα βήματα
εγώ από σένα φως μου δε θέλω χρήματα
εγώ από σένα φως μου δε θέλω χρήματα

Γυρνάω και σε βλέπω
και αναστατώνομαι
αν είσαι όπως δείχνεις
εγώ σκοτώνομαι

Δεν θέλω να μας δούνε, μισώ το μάτι τους
εγώ ποτέ δεν είπα για το κρεβάτι τους
εγώ ποτέ δεν είπα για το κρεβάτι τους

Περπατά κι ακόλουθα, μάθε το σπίτι μου
να έρχεσαι μονάχος, αποσπερίτη μου
κι όταν χτυπάς την πόρτα μες τα μεσάνυχτα
τα παραθύρια μου όλα θα 'ναι ορθάνοιχτα
