---------------------------------------------------- It's four in the morning, the end of December I'm writing you now just to see if you're better New York is cold, but I like where I'm living There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening.
I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert You're living for nothing now, I hope you're keeping some kind of record.
Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair She said that you gave it to her That night that you planned to go clear Did you ever go clear?
Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder You'd been to the station to meet every train And you came home without Lili Marlene
And you treated my woman to a flake of your life And when she came back she was nobody's wife.
Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth One more thin gypsy thief Well I see Jane's awake --
She sends her regards. And what can I tell you my brother, my killer What can I possibly say? I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you I'm glad you stood in my way.
If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free.
Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes I thought it was there for good so I never tried.
And Jane came by with a lock of your hair She said that you gave it to her That night that you planned to go clear
[Verse 1] I might be too strung out on compliments, overdosed on confidence Started not to give a fuck and stopped fearing the consequence Drinking every night because we drink to my accomplishments Faded way too long, I'm floatin' in and out of consciousness And they saying I'm back, I agree with that I just take my time with all this shit, I still believe in that I had someone tell me I fell off, ooh I needed that And they want to see me pick back up, well, where'd I leave it at? I know I exaggerated things, now I got it like that Tuck my napkin in my shirt cause I'm just mobbin' like that You know good and well that you don't want a problem like that You gonna make someone around me catch a body like that No, don't do it, please don't do it Cause one of us goes in, and we all go through it And Drizzy got the money, so Drizzy gonna pay it Those my brothers, I ain't even gotta say it That's just something they know
[Hook] They know That the real is on the rise, fuck them other guys I even gave 'em a chance to decide, now it's something they know They know, they know, they know
[Verse 2] I be yelling out money over everything, money on my mind Then she wanna ask when it got so empty Tell her I apologize, happened over time She says they miss the old Drake, girl don't tempt me If they don't get it, they'll be over you That new shit that you got is overdue You better do what you supposed to do I'm like "why I gotta be all that?" but still I can't deny the fact That it's true, listening to you expressing all them feelings Soap opera rappers, all these niggas sound like "All My Children" And that's who you thinking is 'bout to come and make a killing I guess it really is just me, myself and all my millions You know that they ain't even got it like that You gonna hype me up and make me catch a body like that Cause I live for this, it isn't just a hobby like that When they get my shit and play it, I ain't even gotta say it, they know
[Hook]
[Outro] I be yelling out: money over everything, money on my mind Tell them I apologize, it happened over time, they know
I heard once that they would rather hear about memories than enemies Rather hear what was or will be than what is Rather hear how you got it over how much it cost you Rather hear about finding yourself and how you lost you Rather you make this an open letter, about family and struggle and it taking forever About hearts that you’ve broken and ties that you’ve severed No doubt in my mind, that’ll make them feel better.
I was born in the valley of bricks Where the river runs high above the rooftops I was waiting for the cars coming home late at night From the Dutch mountains
I was standing in the valley of rock Up to my belly in an early fog I was looking for the road to a green painted house In the Dutch mountains In the Dutch mountains Mountains
I met a woman in the valley of stone She was painting roses on the walls of her home And the moon is a coin with the head of the queen Of the Dutch mountains In the Dutch mountains
(Instrumental)
I lost a button of my shirt today It fell on the ground And it was rolling away Like a trail leading me back To the Dutch mountains To the Dutch mountains Mountains
I met a miller on the back of a cow He was looking for the wind but he didn't know how I said: Follow the cloud that looks like a sheep In the Dutch mountains In the Dutch mountains
Daba dabda ..
In the Dutch mountains
Daba dabda ..
In the Dutch mountains Mountains Mountains Mountains Mountains Buildings Buildings Buildings

Well I’m so above you
And it’s plain to see
But I came to love you anyway
So you tore my heart out
And I don’t mind bleeding
Any old time to keep me waiting
Waiting, waiting
Chorus:
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
I’m a lonely boy
I’m a lonely boy
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
Well your mama kept you but your daddy left you
And I should’ve done you just the same
But I came to love you
And I want to flee
Any old time you keep me waiting
Waiting, waiting
Chorus:
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
I’m a lonely boy
I’m a lonely boy
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
I’m a lonely boy
I’m a lonely boy
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting.

You are the hole in my head
You are the space in my bed
You are the silence in between
What I thought and what I said
You are the night time fear
You are the morning when it's clear
When it's over, you will start
You're my head, you're my heart
No light, no light in your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day
You can't choose what stays and what fades away
And I'll do anything to make you stay
No light, no light
(No light)
Tell me what you want me to say
Through the crowd eyes crying out at me
In your place there were a thousand other faces
I was disappearing in plain sight
Heaven help me, I need to make it right
You want a revelation,
You want to get it right
But, it's a conversation,
I just can't have tonight
You want a revelation, some kind of resolution
You want a revelation
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/f/florence+and+the+machine/no+light+no+light_20986760.html ] No light, no light in your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day,
You can't choose what stays and what fades away
And I do anything to make you stay
No light, no light
(No light)
Tell me what you want me to say
Would you leave me,
If I told you what I've done?
And would you leave me,
If I told you what I've become?
'Cause it's so easy,
To say it to a crowd
But it's so hard, my love,
To say it to you, my love
No light, no light in your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day,
You can't choose what stays and what fades away
And I do anything to make you stay
No light, no light
(No light)
Tell me what you want me to say
You want a revelation
You want to get it right
But, it's a conversation,
I just can't have tonight
You want a revelation, some kind of resolution.
You want a revelation
You want to get it right
But, it's a conversation,
I just can't have tonight
You want a revelation, some kind of resolution
Tell me what you want me to say
You need coolin, baby Im not foolin,

It breaks my heart ‘cause I know you’re the one for me
Don’t you feel sad there never was a story
Obviously it'll never be
You will never know
I will never show what I feel, what I need from you no
And you will never know
I will never show what I feel, what I need from you
With every smile comes my reality irony
You won’t find out what has been killing me
Can’t you see me, can’t you see?
And you will never know
I will never show what I feel, what I need from you no
And you will never know
I will never show what I feel, what I need from you
No no you will never know
I will never show what I feel, what I need from you no
No no no no you'll never know
No no no no you'll never know
No no no no love me love me love me love me no
And you will never know
I will never show
What I feel
What I need from you no no no
You will never know
And I will never show no no no
What I feel
What I feel
What I feel
What I need
What I need from you no.
Our language of love The Battle of Trees We fought side by side No one had more
Sharper consonants than you, love And my vowels, well, were trusted
First comes the Birch Rowan followed by the Ash Then through the Alder she forms And merges with Willow
The Hawthorne blossoms As the Oak guards the door She is the hinge on which the year swings He courts the lightning flash and her
Summoning the spirits Through incantations You said the Thunder God seems to have And our enemies are the Reed But we knew the Furies held the Holly sacred
We were insulated In a circle of words we'd drawn With wisdom sent from nine Hazels A Rowan fire and a Willow rod
At ten comes the vine That generates bramble wine The constant change of the night sun A song in the blood of the white bull
Our language of love The Battle of Trees We fought side by side No one had more Sharper consonants than you, love And my vowels, well, were trusted
From Ivy leaves is an ale that can unveil The hidden meanings and serpents Only revealed through visions Yes vowels could insert “A” was for the Silver Fir
The Firs of course Then came next With Heather at her most Passionate
The White Poplar's gift to the souls of the dead A promise that it was not the end But for the vine the “U”, it's coffer
Vowels and consonants The power of trees The power they hold The power of prose
So when the church Began to twist the old myths They built their own Tower of Babel From Ulster to Munster
The Reed gave way then To the Elder The Earth turns her will So that night follows day
From dawn to dawn Fom Winter to Winter At day the Ash had power over the Alder
Our language of love The Battle of Trees We fought side by side Then he said to me: “I've dodged bullets and even poisoned arrows Only to be foiled by the blade of a vowel”
I'm going up the country, baby, don't you wanna go
I'm going up the country, baby, don't you wanna go
I'm going to some place where I've never been before
I'm going, I'm going where the water tastes like wine
I'm going where the water tastes like wine
We can jump in the water, stay drunk all the time
I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away
I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away
All this fussing and fighting, man, you know I sure can't stay
Now, Baby, pack your leaving trunk, you know we got to leave today
Just exactly where we going I can not say
But we might even leave the U.S.A.
'Cause it's a brand new game, and I want to play
No use of you running or screaming and crying
'Cause you got a home as long as I've got mine.
[Kelly Rowland]
Oh lover, don’t you dare slow down
Go longer, you can last more rounds
Push harder, your almost there now
So go lover, make my mother proud
And when were done, I don’t wanna feel my legs
And when were done, I just wanna feel youre hands all over me baby
You can’t stop there, music still playin in the background
And you’re almost there
You can do it, I believe in you baby
So close from here
So baby I’mma be your motivation
Go, go, go, go
Motivation
Go, go, go, go
Oh Lover, when you call my name
No other, can do that the same

So lover, dont it make me rain
And when were done, I don’t wanna feel my legs
And when were done, I just wanna feel youre hands all over me baby
You can’t stop there, music still playin in the background
And you’re almost there
You can do it, I believe in you baby
So close from here
[Lil Wayne]
Uh, girl I turn that thing into a rainforest
Rain on my head, call that brainstorming
Yeah this is deep, but oh, I go deeper
Make you lose yourself, and finders keepers
It go green light, go Weezy go
I like to taste that sugar, that sweet and low
But hold up wait, new position
I put her on my plate then do the dishes
Lyrics courtesy of www.killerhiphop.com
She my motivation, I’m her transportation
Cause I let her ride, while I drive her crazy
Then I just keep going going, like I’m racing
When I’m done she hold me like a conversation
Weezy, baby
[Kelly Rowland]
And when were done, I don’t wanna feel my legs
And when were done, I just wanna feel youre hands all over me baby
You can’t stop there, music still playin in the background
And you’re almost there
You can do it, I believe in you baby
So close from here.
There once was a woman A strange kind of woman The kind that gets written down in history Her name was nancy Her face was nothing fancy She left a trail of happiness and misery
I loved her Everybody loved her She loved everyone and gave them good return I tried to take her I even tried to break her She said, I ain't for takin' won't you ever learn
I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you I spent my money as I took my turn I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman, yes I have
She looked like a raver But I could never please her On wednesday mornings boy you can't go far I couldn't get her But things got better, she said Saturday nights from now on, baby, you're my star ,,Saturday nights from now on, baby, you're my star ,Saturday nights from now on, baby, you're my star.
I didn't mean to end his life
I know it wasn't right
I can't even sleep at night
Can't get it off my mind
I need to get out of sight
Before I end up behind bars
What started out as a simple altercation
Turned into a real sticky situation
Me just thinking on the time that I'm facing
Makes me wanna cry
Cause I didn't mean to hurt him
Could've been somebody's son
And I took his heart when
I pulled out that gun
Rum pum pum rum pum pum pum rum pum pum pum
Man Down
Rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum
Man Down
Oh mama mama mama

It's a 22
I Call her Peggy Sue
When she fits right down in my shoes
What do you expect me to do
If you're playing me for a fool
I will lose my cool
And reach for my fire arm
I didn't mean to lay him down
But it's too late to turn back now
Don't know what I was thinking
Now he's no longer living
So I'm bout to leave town
Cause I didn't mean to hurt him
Could've been somebody's son
And I took his heart when
I pulled out that gun
Rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum
Man Down

And for love's sake
Each mistake
Oh, you forgave
And soon both of us
Learned to trust
Not run away
It was no time to play
We build it up
And build it up
And build it up
And now it's solid
Solid as a rock
That's what this love is
That's what we've got, oh, mmm
Solid
Solid as a rock
And nothing's changed it, woo
The thrill is still hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot
Oh, ha, you didn't turn away
When the sky went gray
Somehow we managed
We had to stick together
You didn't bat an eye
When I made you cry
We knew down the line
We would make it better
And for love's sake
Each mistake
Oh, you forgave
And soon both of us
Learned to trust
Not run away
It was no time to play
We build it up
And build it up
And build it up
And now it's solid
Solid as a rock
That's what this love is
That's what we've got, oh
Yes, it is
Solid
Solid as a rock
And nothing's changed it
The thrill is still hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot
Gone with the wind
Another friend
Got in between
Tried to separate us
Knock, knock on wood
You understood
Love was so new
We did what we had to
And with that feeling
We were willing
To take a chance
So, against all odds
We made a start
We got serious
This wouldn't turn to dust
We build it up
And build it up
And build it up
And now it's solid
Solid as a rock
That's what this love is
Oh, that's what we've got, oh
Solid, yes it is
Solid as a rock
And nothing's changed it
The thrill is still hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot
Solid
Solid as a rock
You know it, well
You know it, baby
Solid
Solid as a rock
Solid
Don't leave me, baby
Solid as a rock
Solid
Solid as a rock
Solid
Solid as a rock
Good, good thing
Solid (solid, solid, solid, solid, solid)
As a rock.
Ο Cat Stevens ζήτησε δικαιώματα τα οποία και πήρε, από τους The Flaming Lips για το τραγούδι Fight Test που μοιάζει πολύ μουσικά με το δικό του το Father and Son.
Cat Stevens - Father and Son (1970)
Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to go through
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy,
To be calm when you've found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you've got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.
Son
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
It's always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
if you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
Son
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them you know not me.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
The Flaming Lips - Fight Test (2003)
THE TEST BEGINS - NOW (spoken)
I thought I was smart - I thought I was right
I thought it better not to fight - I thought there was a
Virtue in always being cool - so when it came time to
Fight I thought I'll just step aside and that the time would
Prove you wrong and that you would be the fool -
I don't know where the sun beams end and the star
Lights begins it's all a mystery
Oh to fight is to defend if it's not
Now than tell me when would be the time that you would stand up
And be a man - for to lose I could accept but to surrender
I just wept and regretted this moment - oh that I - I
Was the fool
I don't know where the sun beams end and the star
Lights begins it's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides what right for his
Own life - it's all a mystery
Cause I'm a man not a boy and there are things
You can't avoid you have to face them when you're not prepared
To face them -
If I could I would but you're with him now it'd do no good
I should have fought him but instead I let him - I let
Him take you -
I don't know where the sun beams end and the star
Lights begins it's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides what right for his
Own life - it's all a mystery
Η ταινία για το νέο αλμπουμ των TV On The Radio, Nine Types of Light, φτιαγμένη με μεράκι από τους ίδιους, περιλαμβάνει όλα τα τραγούδια του δίσκου όπως επίσης συνεντέυξεις απλών ανθρώπων που μιλούν για τα όνειρα, την αγάπη, τη φήμη και το μέλλον...
You thought the leaden winter would bring you down forever,
But you rode upon a steamer to the violence of the sun.
And the colors of the sea blind your eyes with trembling mermaids,
And you touch the distant beaches with tales of brave Ulysses
How his naked ears were tortured by the sirens sweetly singing,
For the sparkling waves are calling you to kiss their white laced lips.
And you see a girl's brown body dancing through the turquoise,
And her footprints make you follow where the sky loves the sea.
And when your fingers find her, she drowns you in her body,
Carving deep blue ripples in the tissues of your mind.
The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers,
And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter.
Her name is Aphrodite and she rides a crimson shell,
And you know you cannot leave her for you touched the distant sands
With tales of brave Ulysses how his naked ears were tortured
By the sirens sweetly singing.
The tiny purple fishes run lauging through your fingers,
And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter.
[Otis Redding]
It makes it easier, easier to bear
You won’t regret it, no, no
No, girl they won’t forget it
Love is their home
Happiness yeah
Sq-sq-sq-squeeze her, don’t tease her
Never leave her…
[Jay-Z]
Sounds so soulful don’t you agree
I invented swag
Poppin’ bottles, puttin’ supermodels in the cab, proof
I guess I got my swagger back, truth
New watch alert, Hublot’s
Or the big face Rollie I got two of those
Arm out the window through the city I maneuver slow
Cock back, snap back
See my cut through the holes
[Kanye West]
Damn Yeezy and Hov,
Where the hell ya been?
Niggas talkin real reckless: stuntmen
I adopted these niggas, Phillip Drummond ‘em
Now I’m bout to make them tuck they whole summer in
They say I’m crazy, well, I’m ’bout to go dumb again
They aint see me cause I pulled up in my other Benz
Last week I was in my other other Benz
Throw your diamonds up cause we in this bitch another ‘gain
[Jay-Z]
Photo shoot fresh, looking like wealth
I’m ’bout to call the paparazzi on myself
Uh, live form the Mercer
Run up on Yeezy the wrong way, I might murk ya
Flee in the G450 I might surface
Political refugee, asylum can be purchased
Uh, everythings for sale, I got 5 passports
I’m never going to jail
[Kanye West]
I made “Jesus Walks” I’m never going to hell
Couture level flow, it’s never going on sale
Luxury rap, the Hermes of verses
Sophisticated ignorance, write my curses in cursive
I get it custom, you a customer
You ain’t ‘customed to going through Customs, you ain’t been nowhere, huh?
And all the ladies in the house, got ‘em showing off
I’m done, I hit ya up mana-naaaa!
[Jay-Z]
Welcome to Havana
Smoking cubanos with Castro in cabanas
Viva Mexico, Cubano
Dominicano, all the plugs that I know
Driving Benzes, wit’ no benefits
Not bad huh? For some immigrants
Build your fences, we diggin’ tunnels
Can’t you see? We gettin’ money up under you
[Kanye]
Can’t you see the private jets flyin’ over you?
Maybach bumper sticker read “What would Hova do?”
Jay is chillin’, ‘Ye is chillin’
What more can I say? We killin’ ‘em
Hold up, before we end this campaign
As you can see, we done bodied the damn lames
Lord, please let them accept the things they can’t change
And pray that all of their pain be champagne.
