Grimes - Oblivion (2012)



I never walk about after dark
It’s my point of view
‘Cause someone could break your neck
Coming up behind you
Always coming and you’d never have a clue”
And now I'm left behind all the time
I will wait forever
Always looking straight
Thinking counting all the hours you wait

See you on a dark night

And now another play I would act
If you could help me out
It's hard to understand
Because when you're running by yourself
It's hard to find someone to hold your hand

And now the empathy empowers me
But I will wait forever
I need someone now
To look into my eyes and tell me
Girl you know you've got to watch your health

See you on a dark night.

Σωκράτης Μάλαμας - Κοντραπούντο (1998)



Στίχοι:  Άλκης Αλκαίος
Μουσική:  Σωκράτης Μάλαμας

Πάντοτε έψαχνα έναν δρόμο να σε φτάσω
σκυφτός μερόνυχτα σε χάρτες και βιβλία
ήθελα μόνο τη σκιά σου ν΄ αγκαλιάσω
στου κόσμου βγαίνω τα σενά περιπολία

Όλα τα σχέδια χρυσόψαρα στη γυάλα
και σύ τη μάσκα σου φοράς και τα στολίδια
τ΄ άστρα μου στέλνουνε πανάρχαια σινιάλα
κι εγώ μιας χίμαιρας μαζεύω τα ξεφτίδια

Zωή σε σπούδασα και ξέχασα να ζήσω
ποιός το χαμένο μου καιρό θα φέρει πίσω
δε δίνει ρεύμα ότι αγαπώ και δε με σώζει
τη λύση ψάχνω στο μπερντέ του Kαραγκιόζη

Πάντοτε έψαχνα έναν δρόμο να σε φτάσω
τρέχεις αδιάκοπα και τίποτα δεν τρέχει
μα συνεχίζω κι ας βρεθώ ξανά στον άσσο
κανείς δε χάνει μια ζωή που δεν την έχει

Bγαίνουν στην άγραν της TV τα συνεργεία
όλα είναι ζήτημα τιμής σ΄ αυτόν τον κόσμο
τα όνειρά μου κατεβαίνουν σ΄ απεργία
άσωτοι άγγελοι μου δείχνουνε το δρόμο.

Την έδιωξα κι όμως την αγαπώ

Στίχοι: Χρήστος Κολοκοτρώνης, Θεσσαλός
Μουσική: Μανώλης Χιώτης            

Την έδιωξα κι όμως την αγαπώ,
την έδιωξα μήπως και ησυχάσω,
την χώρισα όμως τι να σας πω,
δεν μπόρεσα στιγμή να την ξεχάσω

Την έδιωξα να πάει μακριά μου
μα όμως τη ζητάει η καρδιά μου.

Την έδιωξα να μην καταστραφώ,
την έδιωξα μήπως και λησμονήσω,
την χώρισα, τι πάθος φοβερό,
δεν μπόρεσα μιαν άλλη ν΄ αγαπήσω.

Την έδιωξα να πάει μακριά μου
μα όμως τη ζητάει η καρδιά μου.

Στίχοι: Νίκος Γκάτσος

Μ΄ άσπρα πουλιά και σύννεφα
τον ουρανό θα ντύσω
και τ΄ ονομά σου αθάνατο
στην πέτρα θα κεντήσω

Στο περιβόλι τ΄ ουρανού
θα μπω για να διαλέξω
δάφνη μυρτιά κι αμάραντο
στεφάνι να σου πλέξω

Αθήνα Αθήνα
Χαρά της γης και της αυγής
μικρό γαλάζιο κρίνο
Κάποια βραδιάστην αμμουδιά
κοχύλι σου θα μείνω.

<Αγριολούλουδο>

Μη με λυπάσαι διώξε με απόψε
σαν να `μαι αγριολούλουδο
και τη ζωή μου κόψε
Εγώ γυμνός ξεκίνησα
εγώ πηγαίνω μόνος
Σπίτι μου είναι ο δρόμος
και τραγούδι μου ο πόνος
Διώξε με και μη λυπάσαι
τι θα γίνω μη φοβάσαι
κι αν χιονίζει και αν βρέχει
τ΄ αγριολούλουδο αντέχει

Μη με κρατήσεις μονάχα από συμπόνια
το κρύο το συνήθισα θ΄ αντεξω και τα χιόνια
Εγώ γυμνός ξεκίνησα
εγώ πηγαίνω μόνος
Σπίτι μου είναι ο δρόμος
και τραγούδι μου ο πόνος
Διώξε με και μη λυπάσαι
τι θα γίνω μη φοβάσαι
κι αν χιονίζει και αν βρέχει
τ΄ αγριολούλουδο αντέχει.

Σαββατόβραδο


Στίχοι: Τάσος Λειβαδίτης
Μουσική: Μίκης Θεοδωράκης         

Μοσχοβολούν οι γειτονιές
βασιλικό κι ασβέστη,
παίζουν τον έρωτα κρυφά
στις μάντρες τα παιδιά.

Σαββάτο βράδυ μου έμορφο
ίδιο Χριστός Ανέστη,
ένα τραγούδι του Τσιτσάνη
κλαίει κάπου μακριά.

Πάει κι απόψε τ΄ όμορφο
τ΄ όμορφο τ΄ απόβραδο,
από Δευτέρα πάλι
πίκρα και σκοτάδι.
Αχ, να `ταν η ζωή μας
Σαββατόβραδο
κι ο Χάρος να `ρχονταν
μια Κυριακή το βράδυ.

Οι άντρες σχολάν΄ απ΄ τη δουλειά
και το βαρύ καημό τους
να θάψουν κατεβαίνουνε
στο υπόγειο καπηλειό.

Και το φεγγάρι ντύνει, λες,
με τ΄ άσπρο νυφικό του
τις κοπελιές που πλένονται
στο φτωχοπλυσταριό.

Πάει κι απόψε τ΄ όμορφο
τ΄ όμορφο τ΄ απόβραδο,

 Βράχο βράχο

Στίχοι: Δημήτρης Χριστοδούλου
Μουσική: Μίκης Θεοδωράκης

Είναι βαριά η μοναξιά
είναι πικρά τα βράχια
παράπονο η θάλασσα
και μου πνιξε τα μάτια

Βράχο βράχο τον καημό μου
τον μετράω και πονώ
κι είναι το παράπονο μου
πότε μάνα θα σε δω

Πάρε με θάλασσα πικρή
πάρε με στα φτερά σου
πάρε με στο γαλάζιο σου
στη δροσερή καρδιά σου

Βράχο βράχο τον καημό μου
τον μετράω και πονώ
κι είναι το παράπονο μου
πότε μάνα θα σε δω

Πάρε με να μην ξαναδώ
τα βράχια και το χάρο
κάνε το κύμα όνειρο
και τη σιωπή σου φάρο

Βράχο βράχο τον καημό μου
τον μετράω και πονώ
κι είναι το παράπονο μου
πότε μάνα θα σε δω

Γίνε αστέρι κι ουρανός
γίνε καινούργιος δρόμος
να μην βαδίζω μοναχός
να μην πηγαίνω μόνος

Βράχο βράχο τον καημό μου
τον μετράω και πονώ
κι είναι το παράπονο μου
πότε μάνα θα σε δω.

Magic Sam - My Love Will Never Die (1967)



You've done me wrong for a long, long time.
And all you've done still never changed my mind so please,
try to love me, oh please honey try.
My love for you will never die.

You've done me wrong for a long, long time.
And all you've done still never changed my mind so please,
try to love me, oh please honey try.
My love for you will never die.

These flowers grow where I lay and rest
and these colored blossoms darling, hold to your breast
And darling I know it's my mind breaking out
from inside my love for you will never die.

Alice Cooper- Billion Dollar Babies (1973)




Billion dollar baby
Rubber little lady, slicker than a weasel
Grimy as an alley
Loves me like no other lover
Billion dollar baby
Rubber little monster, baby, I adore you
Man or woman living couldnt love me like you, baby
We go dancing nighty in the attic
While the moon is rising in the sky
If Im too rough, tell me
Im so scared your little head will come off in my hands
I got you in the dimestore
No other little girl could everhold you
Any tighter, any tighter than me, bay
Billion dollar baby
Reckless like a gambler , million dollar maybe
Foaming like a dog that's been infected by the rabies
We go dancing nighty in the attic
While the moon is rising the sky
If Im too rough , tell me
Im so scared your little head will come off in my hands
Million dollar baby
Billion dollar bay
Trillion dollar baby
Zillion dollar baby.

Pink Floyd - Have a Cigar (1975)







Come in here, Dear boy, have a cigar.
You're gonna go far,
You're gonna fly high,
You're never gonna die,
You're gonna make it, if you try;
They're gonna love you.
Well I've always had a deep respect,
And I mean that most sincerely.
The band is just fantastic,
that is really what I think.
Oh by the way, which one's Pink?

And did we tell you the name of the game, boy?
We call it Riding the Gravy Train.

We're just knocked out.
We heard about the sell-out.
You gotta get an album out.
You owe it to the people.
We're so happy we can hardly count.
Everybody else is just green,
Have you seen the chart?
It's a hell of a start,
It could be made into a monster
If we all pull together as a team.

And did we tell you the name of the game, boy?
We call it Riding the Gravy Train.

Pat Boone - Speedy Gonzales (1962)



It was a moonlit night in Old Mexico.
I walked alone between some old adobe haciendas.
Suddenly, I heard the plaintive cry of a young Mexican girl:

La la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la
la la la la.

You better come home Speedy Gonzales, away from tannery row.
Stop all of your drinking with that floosie named Flo!
Come on home to your adobe and slap some mud on the wall!
The roof is leaking like a strainer. There's loads of roaches in the
hall.
(La la la la)

Speedy Gonzales (Speedy Gonzales),
why don't you come home?
Speedy Gonzales (Speedy Gonzales),
how come you leave me all alone?

"He, Rosita, I have to go shopping downtown for my mother,
she needs some Tortillias and Chilli Pepper!"

La, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la
la la.

Your doggie's gonna have a puppy, and we're running out of Coke.
no enchiladas in the icebox, and the television's broke.
I saw some lipstick on your sweatshirt, I smell some perfume in your
ear.
Well, if you're gonna keep on messin', don't bring your business back
a-here.
(La la la la)

Mmm, Speedy Gonzales (Speedy Gonzales),
why don't you come home?
Speedy Gonzales (Speedy Gonzales),
how come you leave me all alone?

"He, Rosita, come quick!
Down at the cantina, they're giving green stamps with Tequila!"

La, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la
la la
La la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la
la la la la la.

Frank Ocean - Pyramids (2012)



[Hook]
Set the cheetahs on the loose
There's a thief out on the move
Underneath our legion's view
They have taken Cleopatra

[Bridge]
Run run run, come back for my glory
Bring her back to me
Run run run, the crown of our pharaoh
The throne of our queen is empty

[Verse 1]
We'll run to the future, shining like diamonds
In a rocky world, rocky-rocky world
Our skin like bronze and our hair like cashmere
As we march to rhythm on the palace floor
Chandeliers inside the pyramid, tremble from the force
Cymbals crash inside the pyramid, voices fill up the halls

[Hook]

[Verse 2]
The jewel of Africa
What good is a jewel that ain't still precious?
How could you run off on me? How could you run off on us?
You feel like God inside that gold
I found you laying down with Samson and his full head of hair
Found my black queen Cleopatra, bad dreams, Cleopatra

[Outro]
Remove her, send the cheetahs to the tomb
Our war is over, our queen has met her doom
No more she lives no more serpent in her room
No more it has killed Cleopatra

*Second part*

[Verse 1]
Big sun coming strong through the motel blinds
Wake up to your girl for now, let's call her Cleopatra
I watch you fix your hair
Then put your panties on in the mirror, Cleopatra
Then your lipstick, Cleopatra
Then your six-inch heels, catch her
She's headed to the pyramid

[Hook]
She's working at the pyramid tonight
Working at the pyramid
Working at the pyramid tonight

[Verse 2]
Pimping in my convos
Bubbles in my champagne, let it be some jazz playing
Top floor motel suite twisting my cigars
Floor model TV with the VCR
Got rubies in my damn chain
Whip ain't got no gas tank but it still got woodgrain
Got your girl working for me
Hit the strip and my bills paid that keep my bills paid
Hit the strip and my bills paid, keep a nigga bills paid

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
You showed up after work I'm bathing your body
Touch you in places only I know
You're wet and you're warm just like our bathwater
Can we make love before you go
The way you say my name makes me feel like
I'm that nigga but I'm still unemployed
You say it's big but you take it, ride cowgirl
But your love ain't free no more, baby
But your love ain't free no more

[Hook]

Franco Battiato - Impressioni Di Settembre (2002)



Quante gocce di rugiada intorno a me
Cerco il sole ma non c'
Dorme ancora la campagna forse no
E' sveglia, mi guarda, non so
Gi l'odore della terra, odor di grano
Sale adagio verso me
E la vita nel mio petto batte piano
Respiro la nebbia, penso a te
Quanto verde tutto intorno, e ancor pi in l
Sembra quasi un mare d'erba
E leggero il mio pensiero vola e va
Ho quasi paura che si perda
Un cavallo tende il collo verso il prato
Resta fermo come me
Faccio un passo e lui mi vede, gi fuggito
Respiro la nebbia, penso a te
No, cosa sono adesso non lo so
Sono un uomo in cerca di s stesso
No, cosa sono adesso non lo so
Sono solo il suono del mio passo
E intanto il sole tra la nebbia filtra gi
Il giorno come sempre sar
Cerco il sole ma non c'
Ma non c'
Cerco il sole ma non c'.

Andy Williams - Moon River (1961)



Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way

Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend, moon river, and me

(moon river, wider than a mile
(I'm crossin' you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way

Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after that same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the
Bend
My huckleberry friend, moon river, and me.

The Republic Tigers - Buildings & Mountains (2008)



We've been waiting all our lives
for things we've always had but have no eyes to see
Something new is going to happen
The most natural thing but nothin' we'd expect

All these buildings and mountains
slowly they'll arise
before our eyes

How do cities understand
We drink our wine and wonder why we're really here
What's the point of even asking
You take the good and bad and make the best of it

All these buildings and mountains
slowly they'll arise
before our eyes

All these buildings and mountains
slowly they'll arise
before our eyes

All of you watch to see us move
Just make your fall before this age of industry
But for today I'll let it go
You've been good to me
Have I been good to you

All these buildings and mountains
slowly they'll arise
before our eyes

All these buildings and mountains
slowly they'll arise
before our eye.

Joe Cocker - Marjorine (1969)



Marjorine, where have you been?
Did you meet the queen, Marjorine?
Let me know. Why did you go?
Why don't you show, Marjorine?
Oh, down by the sea, searchin' for me, Marjorine
I want you back, but you will not get in the sack, no!
Each time I go to town I see your face in a crowd and,
when I come back home, I call your name aloud
 
Marjorine, life is too short
You'll just get caught, Marjorine
Hard to find. What's on your mind?
Won't be unkind, Marjorine
Oh, clouds start to form, keeping you warm, Marjorine
Life can be clean. Where have you been, oh, Marjorine?

Elvis Presley - That's All Right (1954)



Well, that's all right, mama
That's all right for you
That's all right mama, just anyway you do
Well, that's all right, that's all right.
That's all right now mama, anyway you do

Mama she done told me,
Papa done told me too
'Son, that gal your foolin' with,
She ain't no good for you'
But, that's all right, that's all right.
That's all right now mama, anyway you do

I'm leaving town, baby
I'm leaving town for sure
Well, then you won't be bothered with
Me hanging 'round your door
Well, that's all right, that's all right.
That's all right now mama, anyway you do.

Can I come home with you?
Baby, can I come home with you?

Baby, let me follow you down
Baby, let me follow you down

Dean Martin - Sway (1954)



When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more

Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me

Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have the magic technique
When we sway I go weak

I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now

Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have the magic technique
When we sway I go weak

I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
You know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now.

Usher - Climax (2012)



[Hook]
Going nowhere fast
We've reached the climax
We're together, now we're undone
Won't commit so we choose to
Run away
Do we separate?
Don't wanna give in so we both gave up
Can't take it back, it's too late, we've reached the climax
Climax

[Verse 1]
I've fallen somehow
Feet off the ground
Love is the cloud
That keeps raining down
Where are you now?
When I need you around
I'm on my knees, but it seems we're

[Hook]

[Verse 2]
I gave my best, it wasn't enough
You get upset, we argue too much
We made a mess of what used to be love
So why do I care, I care at all
At all
At all
At all

[Hook]

[Bridge]
You say it's better if we
Love each other separately
I just need you one more time
I can't get what we had out my mind
Where are you now
When I need you around
I'm on my knees
But it seems we're going

Ike & Tina Turner - Nutbush City Limits (1973)



A church house, gin house
A school house, outhouse
On highway number nineteen
The people keep the city clean
They call it Nutbush, oh Nutbush
They call it Nutbush city limits
Nutbush city

Twenty-five was the speed limit
Motorcycle not allowed in it
You go t'the store on Friday
You go to church on Sundays
They call it Nutbush, oh Nutbush
Said they call it Nutbush city limits
Nutbush city

You go to the fields on week days
And have a picnic on Labor Day
You go to town on Saturday
But go to church every Sunday
They call it Nutbush, Nutbush
They call it Nutbush city limits
Nutbush city

No whiskey for sale
You get drunk, no bail
Salt pork and molasses
Is all you get in jail
They call it Nutbush, oh, Nutbush
They call it Nutbush city limits
Nutbush city

A lil old town on the Tennessee
Quiet little old community, one-horse town
You got to watch what they're puttin' down
Old Nutbush. They call it Nutbush
They call it Nutbush
Oh, Nutbush. They call it Nutbush.

Big Brother and the Holding Company - Ball 'n' Chain (1967)



S-sitting down by my window,
Oh, looking at the rain.
S-sitting down by my window now now,
All around I felt it,
All I could see was the rain.
Something grabbed a hold of me, honey,
Felt to me honey like, Lord, a ball and chain.
Yeah! Hey! You know what I mean,
But it's way too heavy for you,
You can't hold it tomorrow.

Say, whoa, whoa, honey, it can't be
Just because I got to want your love
Please please please please, whoa please, please.
Whoa, honey it can't be
Just because I got to need you daddy.
Please don't you let me down, no, please, Lord!
Here you gone today, but I wanted to love you,
I wanted to hold you, yeah, till the day I die,
Till the day, till the day,
Yeah! Hey! Hey! All right!

Say, whoa, whoa, honey this can't be
Not anything I ever wanted from you daddy
Tell me now, now, now, now, oh, tell me now, yeah.
I say, whoa, whoa, honey this can't be
No, no, no, no, no, no, no ... yeah yeah, hey!
And I want someone that could tell me, tell me why
Just because I got to want your love
Honey, just because I got to need, need, need your love
I said I don't understand, honey, but I wanna chance to try
Try, try, try, try try try try
Honey when everybody in the world wants the same damn thing
When everybody in the world will need the same lonely thing
When I wanna work for your love, daddy.
When I wanna try for your love, daddy.

I don't understand how come you're gone, man. I don't understand why half the world is still crying, man, when the other half of the world is still crying too, man, I can't get it together. I mean, if you got a cat for one day, man — I mean, if you, say, say, if you want a cat for 365 days, right — You ain't got him for 365 days, you got him for one day, man. Well I tell you that one day, man, better be your life, man. Because, you know, you can say, oh man, you can cry about the other 364, man, but you're gonna lose that one day, man, and that's all you've got. You gotta call that love, man. That's what it is, man. If you got it today you don't want it tomorrow, man, 'cause you don't need it, 'cause as a matter of fact, as we discovered in the train, tomorrow never happens, man. It's all the same fucking day, man.

So you gotta, when you wanna hold a sigh,
You gotta hold him like it's the last minute in your life, baby.
You gotta hold, whoa, whoa, hold him
'Cause someday some weight's gonna come on your shoulders, babe,
It's gonna feel too heavy, it's gonna weigh on you,
It's gonna feel just like a ball, ball, ball, oh daddy,
And a chain.

Cat Power - Nude as the News (1996)



I still have a flame gun
For the cute, cute, cute ones

And I saw your hand
With a loose grip
On a tight ship

I still have a flame gun
For the cute ones
To burn out all your tricks
And I saw your hand
With a loose grip
On a very tight ship

And I know
In the cold light
There's a very big man
There's a very big man
Leading us into
Temptation

Jackson, Jesse, I've got a son in me
Jackson, Jesse, I've got a son in me

And he's related to you
He's related to you
He is waiting to meet you

He's related to you
He's related to you
He is dying to meet you

Backhand, role reversal
Where is someone?
Backhand, reversible roles
I know there's someone

I still have a flame gun
For the cute ones
To burn out all your tricks
And I saw your hand
With a loose grip
On such a tight ship

And I know in the cold light
There's a very big man
Leading us into
Temptation

Jackson, Jesse, I've got a son in me
Jackson, Jesse, I've got a son in me

And he's related to you
He's related to you
He is waiting to meet you

He's related to you
He's related to you
He is dying to meet you

He's related to you
He's related to you
He's related to you
He's nude as the news, nude as the news
Nude as the news, nude as the news
All over, all over, all over, all over, all over, all over, all over
You.

The Temper Trap - Trembling Hands (2012)



Turning the ground
I once used to know
People are strangers
Same as before
Streets look familiar
I remember the part
Where I buried my head
So deep in my hands

This here city
Has fall along with me once
Won't find no angels
Selling back to the lost
This here place
Is too small for two
It tool one to realize
When dreams makes this hardest
Are not meant to come true

So throw me a line
Somebody out there help me
I'm on my own
I'm on my own
Throw me a line
And I have come here
To win you again
With trembling hands

Passion delays
Looking over the buildings
Town seems to starve
While the millions keep moving
Now here I am
I'm drop in your ocean
Noise in the crowd
Pushing through your halls of reason

So throw me a line
Somebody out there help me
I'm on my own
I'm on my own
Throw me a line
And I have come here
To win you again
With trembling hands

Hear me now make me whole
Hear me now make me whole

So throw me a line
Somebody out there help me
I'm on my own
I'm on my own
Throw me a line
And I have come here
To win you again
With trembling hands

There goes the ending
It left me in the war
I tried everything here
I'm done with my part.

Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Want To Have Fun (1983)



I come home in the morning light
My mother says when you gonna live your life right
Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones
And girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun

The phone rings in the middle of the night
My father yells what you gonna do with your life
Oh daddy dear you know you're still number one
But girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have

That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls - they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun

Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I want to be the one to walk in the sun
Oh girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have

That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls - they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun,
They want to have fun,
They want to have fun.
