Natalie Prass - Why Don't You Believe In Me (2015)



We've had enough time to find out what we are
No reason we should be walking in the dark
By now we should know how cruel love can be
You take so long to say it
It only makes it harder
You're pushing me away
Farther and farther
You pretend as if you don't know
How it's bringing me down
Why don't you believe in me
What did I do
Now that you're leaving
Because you need something new
You'll wish I was with you
Tried to remain constant like a flowing stream
And I tried my best to be all that you need
Please don't close the door
Take a step back
I wake up alone
The nights keep getting harder
Wanna call you but I don't
I want to be smarter
Afraid to make my next move
And it's bringing me down
Why don't you believe in me
What did I do
Now that you're leaving
Cause you need something new
You'll wish I was with you.

Elvis Presley - Little Egypt (Ying-Yang) (1964)



I went and bought myself a ticket
And I sat down in the very first row
They pulled the curtain
But then when they turned the spotlight way down low
Little Egypt came out a-struttin'
Wearin' nothin' but a button and a bow

Singing, ying-ying, ying-ying
Ying-ying, ying-ying

She had a ruby on her tummy
And a diamond big as Texas on her toe
She let her hair down
And she did the hoochie-coochie real slow
When she did her special number on the zebra skin
I thought she'd stop the show

Singing, ying-ying, ying-ying
Ying-ying, ying-ying

She did her triple somersault and when she hit the ground
She winked at the audience and then she turned around
She had a picture of a cowboy tattooed on her spine
Said, Phoenix, Arizona 1949

Yeah, but let me tell you people
Little Egypt doesn't dance there anymore
She's too busy mopping
And a-takin' care of shopping at the store
'Cause we've got seven kids
And all day long they crawl around the floor

Singing ying-ying, ying-ying
Ying-ying, ying-ying.

Παύλος Παυλίδης - Όσοι τρώνε απ' τα σκουπίδια (2014)



Όσοι τρώνε απ, τα σκουπίδια
πρέπει γρήγορα να βρουν
οδοντόκρεμες σαπούνια
και αμέσως να πλυθούν

το επιβάλλουν οι κανόνες
της σωστής υγιεινής
που εφαρμόζονται αιώνες
στα κελιά και στους στρατώνες
και στους οίκους ανοχής

Τρέξε όσο πιο γρήγορα μπορείς....

Όσοι τρώνε απ' τα σκουπίδια
ας προσέχανε παλιά
πριν πεινάσουν μαγειρέψαν
των φρονίμων τα παιδιά

Τώρα οι άστεγοι γυρνάνε
στις πλατείες για να βρουν
όσα οι φρόνιμοι πετάνε
ρούχα που δεν τους χωράνε
και ιδέες που μισούν

Τρέξε πριν προλάβουν να μας βρουν...

Το να τρως απ' τα σκουπίδια
είναι χρήσιμο πολύ
δείχνει μια ευαισθησία
κάπως οικολογική

Έτσι όπως μαζευτήκαν
κινδυνεύει σοβαρά
η δημόσια υγεία
τα παιδιά μας στα σχολεία
των Ελλήνων τα ιερά

Βρέχει πέτρες μες στην αγορά...

Όσοι τρώνε απ' τα σκουπίδια
να φοράν χρωματιστά
φτάνουν πια αυτά τα γκρίζα
αυτά τα καταθλιπτικά

Η ελπίδα θα πεθάνει
τελευταία επειδή
της αρέσει να το βλέπει
και γι αυτό στο επιτρέπει
να πεθαίνεις πρώτα εσύ.

Nightstalker - Children Of The Sun (2012)



Lie or truth
I'm keeping all my love for you now, baby
Me and you
We're gonna change the world again now, maybe

We still have a lot of way to go
Try to remember that in this we're together
We still have a lot of time to do
Just remember, we're born free forever

Shame on you
You're hiding all your life from yourself, baby
We're the rule
We came from far away for you now, lady

We still have a lot of way to go
Try to remember that in this we're together
We still have a lot of time to do
Just remember that we're born free forever

Lie or truth
I'm keeping all my love for you now, baby
We're the rule
We came from far away for you now, lady

We still have a lot of way to go
Try to remember that in this we're together
We still have a lot of time to do
Just remember, we're born free forever

We're gonna live forever
Don't you know, we're all one together
We are the children of the sun.
