Wilco - Dawned on Me (2011)

2012-01-27T18:07:00.002+02:00

I been young, I been old
I been hurt and consoled
Heart of cold, heart of gold - so I'm told
I been lost, I been found
I been taken by the sound of my own voice
Voices in my head

I can't help it if I fall in love with you again
I'm calling just to let you know it dawned on me
Every night is a test
To the East or the West, the sun rises and sets
That's the sun at it's best
I forget that I know, I regret letting you go
Sometimes I can't believe how dark it can be

I can't help it if I fall in love with you again
I'm calling just to let you know it dawned on me

So on, and so forth,
And again I will start to begin at the end

I can't help it if I fall in love with you again
I'm calling just to let you know it dawned on me.

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird (1977) Live

2012-01-25T19:10:00.000+02:00

If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me
For I must be traveling on now
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see

But if I stayed here with you,GIRL
Things just couldn't be the same
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change

Ohohohohohhhhh
And the bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
Lord knows I can’t change

Bye bye, baby, it's been a sweet love, yeah, yeah
Though this feeling I can't change
But please don't take it so badly
'Cause Lord knows I'm to blame

But if I stay here with you, GIRL
Things just couldn't be the same
Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you never change

Ohohohohohhhhh
And the bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
Lord knows I can't change
Lord help me I can't change
Lord I can't change,
Won't you fly high, Free Bird, yeah.

Rory Gallagher - Shadow Play (1978)

2012-01-21T22:47:00.000+02:00

In the flinty light, it's midnight,
And stars collide.
Shadows run, in full flight,
To run, seek and hide.
I'm still not sure what part I play,
In this shadow play, this shadow play.

Well, In the half-light, on this mad night,
I hear a voice in time.
Well, I look back, see a half-smile,
Then it's gone from sight.
Tell me, why everyone have changed,
In this shadow play, this shadow play,
I have to find my way,
In this shadow play.

Sounds come crashing,
And I hear laughing,
All those lights just blaze away.
I feel a little strange inside,
A little bit of Jekyll, a little Mr. Hyde.

Sounds come crashing,
And I hear laughing,
All those lights just blaze away.
I feel a little strange inside,
A little Dr. Jekyll, a little Mr. Hyde.
Yeah.........

Thoughts run wild, free as a child,
Into the night.
Across the screen a thin beam,
Of magic light.

Tell me why things don't look the same,
In this shadow play, this shadow play,
I have to find my way,
In this shadow play.
I have to get away,
In this shadow play,
Well help me find my way,
In this shadow play,
Yeah..........

Ο Γιάννης Πετρίδης στο Kosmos - Famous Blue Raincoat (Leonard Cohen)

2011-12-27T18:00:00.000+02:00

Leonard Cohen

----------------------------------------------------

Marissa Nadler

----------------------------------------------------
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

Sincerely, L. Cohen.

Agora,
Que lembro,
As horas ao longo do tempo;

Desejo,
Voltar,
Voltar a ti,
Desejo-te encontrar;

Esquecida,
Em cada dia que passa,
Nunca mais revi a graá§a
Dos teus olhos
Que amei.

Má¡ sorte, foi amor que ná£o retive,
E se calhar distraá-me...
- Qualquer coisa que encontrei.

Drake - Headlines (2011)

2011-12-14T20:26:00.000+02:00

[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.

The Nits - In the Dutch Mountains (1987)

2011-12-13T22:05:00.000+02:00

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

Wake up
Gonna wake up to nothing
Break up
The break up is coming
When you're heart is hollow
Another pill to swallow

Shake up
Got to shake up you're freezin'
Make up
I'm gonna make up my reasons

I used to say I need you
But I got to leave you

[chorus]
Sister, sister what did they do to you
Sister, sister what did they do to you

Did they take and try to break
A heart that long
It's so wrong

Hung up
Got me hung up in draft
Rung up
Got me rung up in bed

You took that handy job
The one who showed you love

[chorus]
Sister, sister what did they do to you
Sister, sister what did they do to you
Did they take and try to break
A heart that long
It's so wrong.

The Black Keys - Lonely Boy (2011)

2011-11-29T20:30:00.001+02:00

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.

Χειμερινοί Κολυμβητές - Ψὲς τὸ βράδυ (1991)

2011-11-20T16:08:00.001+02:00

Στίχοι: Σταῦρος Καραμανιώλας

Μουσική: Σταῦρος Καραμανιώλας

Ἑρμηνεία: Ἀργύρης Μπακιρτζῆς, Ἰσίδωρος Παπαδάμου

καὶ Σταῦρος Καραμανιώλας

Ψὲς τὸ βράδυ ἀπ᾿ τὴν παραλία, μπῆκα μέσα σ᾿ ἕνα ἀστικό,
νὰ μὲ πάει στὸν Προφήτη Ἠλία, τὰ παλιά τὰ στέκια μου νὰ δῶ.

Πῆγα Ποταμούδια καὶ Βὶξ στέρνες, νότα δὲν ἀκούστηκε καμιά·
πάψαν τὰ τραγούδια κι οἱ λατέρνες, λὲς καὶ ἤμουνα στὴν ἐρημιά.

Ἔκανα τὴ βόλτα μου στοῦ Τσάτσκα, ποῦ ῾ν᾿ τὰ χρόνια ἐκεῖνα τὰ παλιά,
κάθε βράδυ, λὲς καὶ ἦταν Πάσχα, ἄκουγες σαντούρια καὶ βιολιά.

Ἔφτασα στὴ στάση τοῦ Βλαμάκη, μὰ τὸ μαγαζὶ ἦταν κλειστό·
τράβηξα γραμμὴ γιὰ τοῦ Καϊνάκη, γιὰ νὰ πιῶ νερὸ νὰ δροσιστῶ.

Παράδεισο κι Ἀκρόπολη, τὰ βρῆκα γκρεμισμένα·
μπαίνω ξανὰ στὸ ἀστικό, μὲ μάτια βουρκωμένα.

Καβάλα, 1986

Florence + The Machine - No Light, No Light (2011)

2011-11-10T19:32:00.000+02:00

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

Imany - You Will Never Know (2011)

2011-11-01T18:34:00.000+02:00

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.

Tori Amos - Battle of Trees (2011)

2011-10-07T22:30:00.000+03:00

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”

Canned Heat - Going Up the Country (1968)

2011-09-26T00:56:00.000+03:00

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 - Motivation ft. Lil Wayne (2011)

[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
Won’t let ya get up out of there again
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.

Deep Purple - Strange Kind of Woman (1971)

2011-09-20T01:34:00.000+03:00

Alright

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.

Rihanna - Man Down (2011)

2011-09-17T10:35:00.000+03:00

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
I just shot a man down
In central station
In front of a big ol' crowd
Oh Why Oh Why
Oh mama mama mama
I just shot a man down
In central station

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
Rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum
Man Down

Oh mama mama mama
I just shot a man down
In central station
In front of a big ol' crowd
Oh Why Oh Why
Oh mama mama mama
I just shot a man down
In central station

Look I never thought I'd do it
Never thought I'd do it
Never thought I'd do it
Oh gosh

Why did I pull the trigger
Pull the trigger pull the trigger BOOM
And end a nigga end a niggas life so soon
When mi pull the trigger pull the trigger pull it pon you

In central statio.

Ashford & Simpson - Solid (1984)

2011-09-05T22:55:00.000+03:00

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.

2011-09-03T21:12:00.003+03:00

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

THE TEST IS OVER - NOW (spoken).

Cream - Tales of Brave Ulysses (1968)

2011-08-27T19:41:00.000+03:00

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.

Kanye West & Jay-Z feat. Otis Redding - Otis (2011)

2011-08-05T21:27:00.002+03:00

[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.

Françoise Hardy - Tous les garcons et les filles (1962)

2011-08-04T21:16:00.003+03:00

French
Tous les garçons et les filles

Tous les garçons et les filles de mon âge
Se promènent dans la rue deux par deux
Tous les garçons et les filles de mon âge
Savent bien ce que c'est qu'être heureux
Et les yeux dans les yeux, et la main dans la main

Ils s'en vont amoureux sans peur du lendemain
Oui mais moi, je vais seule par les rues, l'âme en peine
Oui mais moi, je vais seule, car personne ne m'aime

Mes jours comme mes nuits
Sont en tous points pareils
Sans joies et plein d'ennuis
Personne ne murmure je t'aime à mon oreille

Tous les garçons et les filles de mon âge
Font ensemble des projets d'avenir
Tous les garçons et les filles de mon âge
Savent très bien ce qu'aimer veut dire
Et les yeux dans les yeux, et la main dans la main

Ils s'en vont amoureux sans peur du lendemain
Oui mais moi, je vais seule par les rues l'âme en peine
Oui mais moi, je vais seule, car personne ne m'aime

Mes jours comme mes nuits
Sont en tous points pareils
Sans joies et pleins d'ennuis
Quand donc pour moi brillera le soleil?

Comme les garçons et les filles de mon âge
Connaîtrais-je bientôt ce qu'est l'amour?
Comme les garçons et les filles de mon âge
Je me demande quand viendra le jour

Où les yeux dans ses yeux et la main dans sa main
J'aurai le coeur heureux sans peur du lendemain

Le jour où je n'aurai plus du tout l'âme en peine
Le jour où moi aussi j'aurai quelqu'un qui m'aime.

English
All The Boys and Girls

All the boys and girls my age
Walk down the street in pairs
All the boys and girls my age
Know well what it means to be happy
Eyes in eyes, and hand in hand

They fall in love without fear of tomorrow
Yes, but I, I walk the streets alone, the lost soul
Yes, but I, I am alone, because nobody loves me

My days are like my nights
In all respects
No joy and such trouble
Nobody whispers "I love you" in my ear

All the boys and girls my age
Make projects for the future
All the boys and girls my age
Know very well what love means
Eyes in eyes, and hand in hand

They fall in love without fear of tomorrow
Yes, but I, I walk the streets alone, the lost soul
Yes, but I, I am alone, because nobody loves me

My days are like my nights
In all respects
No joy and such trouble
Oh, when will the sun shine for me?

Like the boys and girls my age
Will I soon know what love is?
Like the boys and girls my age
I wonder when the day comes

Or the eyes in eyes, hand in hand
I will have the happy heart without fear of tomorrow

The day that I will no longer be a lost soul
They day that I, too, will get someone who loves me.

Ελευθερία Αρβανιτάκη - Δεν τραγουδώ παρά γιατί μ'αγάπησες (1996)

2011-08-04T09:58:00.001+03:00

Στίχοι: Μαρία Πολυδούρη
Μουσική: Δημήτρης Παπαδημητρίου

Δεν τραγουδώ παρά γιατί μ' αγάπησες
σε περασμένα χρόνια.
Και σε ήλιο, σε καλοκαιριού προμάντεμα
και σε βροχή, σε χιόνια,
δεν τραγουδώ παρά γιατί μ' αγάπησες.

Μόνο γιατί με κράτησες στα χέρια σου
μια νύχτα και με φίλησες στο στόμα,
μόνο γι' αυτό είμαι σαν κρίνο ολάνοιχτο
κι έχω ένα ρίγος στην ψυχή μου ακόμα,
μόνο γιατί με κράτησες στα χέρια σου.

Μόνο γιατί όπως πέρναγα με καμάρωσες
και στη ματιά σου να περνάει
είδα τη λυγερή σκιά μου ως όνειρο
να παίζει, να πονάει,
μόνο γιατί όπως πέρναγα με καμάρωσες.

Γιατί, μόνο γιατί σε 'σεναν άρεσε
γι' αυτό έμειν' ωραίο το πέρασμά μου.
Σα να μ' ακολουθούσες όπου πήγαινα
σα να περνούσες κάπου εκεί σιμά μου.
Μόνο γιατί σε 'σεναν άρεσε.

Μόνο γιατί μ' αγάπησες γεννήθηκα
γι' αυτό η ζωή μου εδόθη.
Στην άχαρη ζωή την ανεκπλήρωτη
'μένα η ζωή πληρώθη.
Μόνο γιατί μ' αγάπησες γεννήθηκα.

Μονάχα για τη διαλεχτήν αγάπη σου
μου χάρισε η αυγή ρόδα στα χέρια.
Για να φωτίσω μια στιγμή το δρόμο σου
μου γέμισε τα μάτια η νύχτα αστέρια,
μονάχα για τη διαλεχτήν αγάπη σου.

Gorillaz - On Melancholy Hill (2010)

2011-07-30T16:59:00.001+03:00

Up on melancholy hill
There's a plastic tree
Are you here with me?
Just looking out on the day
Of another dream

Well you can't get what you want
But you can get me
So let's set up and see
'Cause you are my medicine
When you're close to me
When you're close to me

So call in the submarine
'round the world we'll go
Does anybody know
If we're looking out on the day
Of another dream?

If you can't get what you want
Then you come with me

Up on melancholy hill
A manatee?
Just looking out on the day
When you're close to me
When you're close to me

When you're close to me.

James Vincent McMorrow - This Old Dark Machine (2011)

2011-07-29T18:16:00.002+03:00

(verse 1)

spring it came upon us,
every insect filled the air
dropped their wings upon my brother,
cast their shadows on his hair

if we follow where they're leading,
we will surely come before
some unseen and wondrous magic
made of visions to explore

(chorus)
near the town where we were living
was an old abandoned farm
every year we'd plant an orchid
in the shelter of it's arm
to protect us from the madness
of the future still to come
it will be like this forever
I will keep you safe from harm

(verse 2)

then they caught us in the summer
dressed in fathers finest clothes
you the hat he wore to market
I the jacket filled with holes

I've been searchins all these hours
for a hand as pale as bone
that would keep the strongest sunlight
and reflect the brightest stone

(chorus 2)

near the town where we were living
was a warm and fragrant smell
of the orchid we had planted
now a forest tall and well
what a statue to our greatness
what a story all will tell
they'll remember us forever
they'll remember where we fell

(bridge)

this old dark machine, it shakes and it shudders
pulls to the left, then dies near the gutter
but still in the road, the traffic is silent
the people they stare, and then they turn violent
if they should touch, the hem of your dress
I would rise like a lion, strike out again
the faithful they wait, the faithful they wait
by the sign

(chorus 3)

near the town where we were living
came a loud and joyous sound
as the earth and all her beauty
picked us up from off the ground
carried far across the mountain
to a kingdom never bound
we will live like this forever
I will love you
I will love you
I will love you.

Ah you know you gotta know, yeah you know, yeah you gotta be cool.

So all you tickets I just want you to dig me,
With my striped zoot jacket that the salts can plainly see,

The Smiths - I Started Something I Couldn't Finish (1987)

2011-07-09T11:59:00.001+03:00

The lanes were silent
There was nothing, no one, nothing around for miles
I doused our friendly venture
With a hard-faced, three-word gesture

I started something
I forced you to a zone and you were clearly
Never meant to go
Hair brushed and parted
Typical me, typical me, typical me
I started something
And now I'm not too sure

I grabbed you by the gilded beams
Uh, that's what tradition means
And I doused another venture
With a gesture that was absolutely vile

I started something
I forced you to a zone and you were clearly
Never meant to go
Hair brushed and parted
Typical me, typical me, typical me
I started something
And now I'm not too sure

I grabbed you by the gilded beams
Uh, that's what tradition means
And now eighteen months' hard labour seems fair enough

I started something
I forced you to a zone and you were clearly
Never meant to go
Hair brushed and parted
Typical me, typical me, typical me
I started something
And now I'm not too sure

I started something
I started something
Typical me, typical me
Typical me, typical me
Typical me, typical me, typical me
I started something
And now I'm not too sure.

Johnny Otis/Marci Lee - Castin' My Spell (1959)

2011-06-25T10:31:00.003+03:00

I took a black cat, a cave bat, and threw them in a pot pot,
pot pot, pot pot
I took a blue snake, a green snake, and tied them in a knot knot,
knot knot, knot knot
I took a hog jaw, a dog's paw, and hung them on the line line,
line line, line line
I took a horse hair, a green pear, and made a crazy sign sign,
sign sign, sign sign

I'm castin' my spell on you, I'm castin' my spell on you
I'm castin' my spell on you, you'll never never be untrue

I took a goat's tooth, an old shoe, and put them in the ground ground,
ground ground, ground ground
I took an old dish, a dry fish, and made a crazy sound sound,
sound sound, sound sound
I took a goose egg, a frog leg, and hid them in a sack sack,
sack sack, sack sack
I got a Hindu, to tattoo, a genii on my back back,
back back, back back

I'm castin' my spell on you, I'm castin' my spell on you
I'm castin' my spell on you, you'll never never be untrue

Marc Almond/Gene Pitney - Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart (1988)

2011-06-22T08:59:00.001+03:00

Something's gotten hold of my heart
Keeping my soul and my senses apart
Something's gotten into my life
Cutting its way through my dreams like a knife
Turning me up, turning me down
Making me smile, making me frown
In a world that was war
I once lived in a time
That was peace
With no trouble at all
But then you came my way
And a feeling I know
Shook my heart
(And) made me want you to stay
All of my nights
And all of my da-a-a-a-a-a-ays

(I wanna tell you now)
Something's gotten hold of my hand
Dragging my soul to a beautiful land, yeah
Something's invaded my night
Painting my sleep with a colour so bright
Changing the grey, changing the blue
Scarlet for me, scarlet for you

I've got to know if this is the real thing
I've got to know what's making my heart sing, oh yeah
A smile and I am lost for a lifetime
Each minute spent with you is the right time
Every hour (yeah) every day (yeah)
You touch me and my mind goes astray (yeah)
And baby (yeah), and baby (yeah)

Something's gotten hold of my hand
Dragging my soul to a beautiful land, yeah
Something's gotten into my life
Cutting its way through my dreams like a knife
Turning me apart, turning me down
Making me smile, making me frown

In a world that was war
(In a world that was war)
I once lived in a time
That was peace
With no trouble at all
But then you! You! You!
You came my way
(But then you came my way)

And a feeling I know
Shook my heart
And made me want you to stay
All of my nights
And all of my da-a-a-a-a-a-ays

(I wanna tell you now)
Something's gotten hold of my heart
Keeping my soul and my senses apart, yeah
Something's invaded my night
Painting my sleep with a colour so bright
Changing the grey, changing the blue
Scarlet for me, scarlet for you.

Νίκος Παπάζογλου - Βαριά βαλίτσα (1990)

2011-04-17T18:16:00.006+03:00

...Ουκέτι Φοίβος έχει καλύβαν, ου μάντιδα Δάφνην, ου παγάν λαλέουσαν. Απέσβετο και λάλον ύδωρ.

Μουσική: Νίκος Παπάζογλου
Στίχοι: Τάκης Σιμώτας

Βαριά βαλίτσα σου 'κοψε το χέρι
και φορτωμένη γέρνεις ως τη γη
μα πιο πολύ στην τσέπη σου βαραίνει
ένα εισιτήριο χωρίς επιστροφή

Φουρτουνιασμένο πέλαγο
κι εμείς τρύπια καράβια
κι ως μοναξιά ο θάνατος
κάνει νερά στ' αμπάρια

Παραπατώντας σαν την πεταλούδα
τρέχεις για να προλάβεις ν' ανεβείς
δάκρυα στα μάτια και το φιλί του Ιούδα
όταν γυρίσεις απ' τη σκάλα να με δεις

Αεροδρόμια, σταθμοί
πολύβουα λιμάνια
ξερά χωρίς γλυκό νερό
του χωρισμού ποτάμια.

Γρηγόρης Μπιθικώτσης - Απρίλη μου (1962)

2011-04-01T10:28:00.004+03:00

Στίχοι: Μίκης Θεοδωράκης
Μουσική: Μίκης Θεοδωράκης

Απρίλη μου, Απρίλη μου ξανθέ
και Μάη μυρωδάτε, καρδιά μου πώς αντέ...
Καρδιά μου πώς, καρδιά μου πώς αντέχεις
μέσα στην τόση αγάπη και στις τόσες ομορφιές

Γιομίζ' η γειτονιά τραγούδια και φιλιά
Την κοπελιά μου τη λένε Λενιώ
Την κοπελιά μου τη λένε Λενιώ
Την κοπελιά μου τη λένε Λενιώ, μα το 'χω μυστικό

Αστέρι μου, αστέρι μου χλωμό
του φεγγαριού αχτίδα στο γαϊτανόφρυδο
Στο γαϊτανο... στο γαϊτανοφρυδό σου
κρεμάστηκε η καρδιά μου σαν το πουλάκι στο ξόβεργο

Γιομίζ' η γειτονιά τραγούδια και φιλιά
Την κοπελιά μου τη λένε Λενιώ
Την κοπελιά μου τη λένε Λενιώ
Την κοπελιά μου τη λένε Λενιώ, μα το 'χω μυστικό

Λουλούδι μου, λουλούδι μυριστό
και ρόδο μυρωδάτο, στη μάνα σου θα 'ρθω
στη μάνα σου, στη μάνα σου θα 'ρθω
να πάρω την ευχή της και το ταίρι που αγαπώ

Γιομίζ' η γειτονιά τραγούδια και φιλιά
Την κοπελιά μου τη λένε Λενιώ
Την κοπελιά μου τη λένε Λενιώ
Την κοπελιά μου τη λένε Λενιώ, μα το 'χω μυστικό.

James - Sit Down (1989)

2011-03-30T19:06:00.002+03:00

I sing myself to sleep
A song from the darkest hour
Secrets I can’t keep
Insight of the day
Swing from high to deep
Extremes of sweet and sour
Hope that God exists
I hope I pray

Drawn by the undertow
My life is out of control
I believe this wave will bear my weight
So let it flow

Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down, down
In sympathy

Now I’m relieved to hear
That you’ve been to some far out places
It’s hard to carry on
When you feel all alone
Now I’ve swung back down again
It’s worse than it was before
If I hadn’t seen such riches
I could live with being poor

Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down, down
In sympathy

Those who feel the breath of sadness
Sit down next to me
Those who find they’re touched by madness
Sit down next to me
Those who find themselves ridiculous
Sit down next to me
In love, in fear, in hate, in tears
In love, in fear, in hate, in tears
In love, in fear, in hate, in tears
In love, in fear, in hate

Down
Down

Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down, down
In sympathy

Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down, down
In sympathy

Down.

Μουσική: Μίκης Θεοδωράκης
Στίχοι: Ιάκωβος Καμπανέλης

Εκεί στη σκάλα την πλατειά
στη σκάλα των δακρύων
στο Βιλεγκράμπεν το βαθύ
το λατομείο των θρήνων

Εβραίοι κι αντάρτες περπατούν
Εβραίοι κι αντάρτες πέφτουν
Βράχο στην πλάτη κουβαλούν
βράχο σταυρό θανάτου

Εκεί ο Αντώνης στη φωνή
φωνή, φωνή ακούει
ω καμαράντ, ω καμαράντ
βόηθα ν' ανέβω τη σκάλα

Μα κει στη σκάλα την πλατειά
και των δακρύων τη σκάλα
τέτοια βοήθεια είναι βρισιά
τέτοια σπλαχνιά κατάρα

Ο Εβραίος πέφτει στο σκαλί
και κοκκινίζει η σκάλα
και συ λεβέντη μου έλα εδω
βράχο διπλό κουβάλα

Παίρνω διπλό, παίρνω τριπλό
μένα με λεν Αντώνη
κι αν είσαι άντρας έλα εδώ
στο μαρμαρένιο αλώνι

2011-03-29T09:42:00.000+03:00

Oh my lord*
She give me chills and fever
Sends a signal
To my receiver
Hard livin' killing me
I need that woman to set me free

And I want her
I want her so much
Cause she got the lover's touch

Feel sold out
Water gettin' higher
Livin' on the shoreline
Starin' at the fire

And I want her
I want her so much
Cause she got the lover's touch

I hear her voice
When I'm all alone
Gives me comfort
So soft and low

And I want her
I want her so much
Cause she got the lover's touch.

Γρηγόρης Μπιθικώτσης - Μέρα Μαγιού (1960)

Στίχοι: Γιάννης Ρίτσος
Μουσική: Μίκης Θεοδωράκης

Μέρα Μαγιού μου μίσεψες
μέρα Μαγιού σε χάνω
άνοιξη γιε που αγάπαγες
κι ανέβαινες απάνω

Στο λιακωτό και κοίταζες
και δίχως να χορταίνεις
άρμεγες με τα μάτια σου
το φως της οικουμένης

Και μου ιστορούσες με φωνή
γλυκιά ζεστή κι αντρίκεια
τόσα όσα μήτε του γιαλού
δεν φτάνουν τα χαλίκια

Και μου 'λεγες πως όλ' αυτά
τα ωραία θα είν' δικά μας
και τώρα εσβήστης κι έσβησε
το φέγγος κι η φωτιά μας.

Θεσσαλονίκη, Μάης του 1936. Μια μάνα μοιρολογεί, στη μέση του δρόμου, πάνω από τον νεκρό γιο της. Ο Γιάννης Ρίτσος εμπνέεται από το γεγονός που το διαβάζει στις εφημερίδες της εποχής και γράφει εκείνη τη χρονιά τον Επιτάφιο.

Pink Floyd - The Final Cut (1983)

2011-03-15T18:50:00.005+02:00

1. The Post War Dream

[Car sound, switching on of car radio]
"...announced plans to build a nuclear fallout shelter at Peterborough
in Cambridgeshire..."
[phzzt! of returning]
"...three high court judges have cleared the way..."
[phzzt!]
"...It was announced today, that the replacement for the Atlantic
Conveyor the container ship lost in the Falklands conflict would be
built in Japan, a spokesman for..."
[phzzt!]
"...moving in. They say the third world countries, like Bolivia, which
produce the drug are suffering from rising violence...[fades]"

Tell me true, tell me why, was Jesus crucified
Is it for this that Daddy died?
Was it for you? Was it me?
Did I watch too much T.V.?
Is that a hint of accusation in your eyes?
If it wasn't for the nips
Being so good at building ships
The yards would still be open on the clyde.
And it can't be much fun for them
Beneath the rising sun
With all their kids committing suicide.
What have we done, Maggie what have we done?
What have we done to England?
Should we shout, should we scream
"What happened to the post war dream?"
Oh Maggie, Maggie what have we done?

2. Your Possible Pasts

They flutter behind you your possible pasts,
Some bright-eyed and crazy, some frightened and lost.
A warning to anyone still in command
[Cattle truck noises]
"Ranks! Fire!"
Of their possible future, to take care.
In derelict sidings the poppies entwine
With cattle trucks lying in wait for the next time.

Do you remember me? How we used to be?
Do you think we should be closer?

She stood in the doorway, the ghost of a smile
Haunting her face like a cheap hotel sign.
Her cold eyes imploring the men in their macs
For the gold in their bags or the knives in their backs.
Stepping up boldly one put out his hand.
He said, "I was just a child then, now I'm only a man."

Do you remember me? How we used to be?
Do you think we should be closer?

By the cold and religious we were taken in hand
Shown how to feel good and told to feel bad.
Tongue tied and terrified we learned how to pray
Now our feelings run deep and cold as the clay.
And strung out behind us the banners and flags
Of our possible pasts lie in tatters and rags.

Do you remember me? How we used to be?
Do you think we should be closer?

3. One of the Few

When you're one of the few to land on your feet
What do you do to make ends meet?
Teach.
Make them mad, make them sad, make them add two and two.
Make them me, make them you, make them do what you want them to.
Make them laugh, make them cry, make them lie down and die.

4. When the Tigers Broke Free

It was just before dawn
One miserable morning in black 'forty four.
When the forward commander
Was told to sit tight
When he asked that his men be withdrawn.
And the Generals gave thanks
As the other ranks held back
The enemy tanks for a while.
And that's how the Anzio bridgehead
Was held for the price
Of a few hundred ordinary lives.

And kind old King George
Sent Mother a note
When he heard that father was gone.
It was, I recall,
In the form of a scroll,
With gold leaf and all.
And I found it one day
In a drawer of old photographs, hidden away.
And my eyes still grow damp to remember
His Majesty signed
With his own rubber stamp.

It was dark all around.
There was frost in the ground
When the tigers broke free.
And no one survived
From the Royal Fusiliers Company C.
They were all left behind,
Most of them dead,
The rest of them dying.
And that's how the High Command
Took my daddy from me.

5. The Hero's Return

Jesus, Jesus, what's it all about?
Trying to clout these little ingrates into shape.
When I was their age all the lights went out.
There was no time to whine or mope about.
And even now part of me flies over
Dresden at angels one five.
Though they'll never fathom it behind my
Sarcasm desperate memories lie.

Sweetheart sweetheart are you fast asleep? Good.
'Cause that's the only time that I can really speak to you.
And there is something that I've locked away
A memory that is too painful
To withstand the light of day.

When we came back from the war the banners and
Flags hung on everyone's door.
We danced and we sang in the street and
The church bells rang.
But burning in my heart
My memory smolders on
Of the gunners dying words on the intercom.

6. The Gunner's Dream

Floating down through the clouds
Memories come rushing up to meet me now.
In the space between the heavens
and in the corner of some foreign field
I had a dream.
I had a dream.
Good-bye Max.
Good-bye Ma.
After the service when you're walking slowly to the car
And the silver in her hair shines in the cold November air
You hear the tolling bell
And touch the silk in your lapel
And as the tear drops rise to meet the comfort of the band
You take her frail hand
And hold on to the dream.
A place to stay
"Oi! A real one ..."
Enough to eat
Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street
Where you can speak out loud
About your doubts and fears
And what's more no-one ever disappears
You never hear their standard issue kicking in your door.
You can relax on both sides of the tracks
And maniacs don't blow holes in bandsmen by remote control
And everyone has recourse to the law
And no-one kills the children anymore.
And no one kills the children anymore.

Night after night
Going round and round my brain
His dream is driving me insane.
In the corner of some foreign field
The gunner sleeps tonight.
What's done is done.
We cannot just write off his final scene.
Take heed of his dream.
Take heed.

7. Paranoid Eyes

Button your lip. Don't let the shield slip.
Take a fresh grip on your bullet proof mask.
And if they try to break down your disguise with their questions
You can hide, hide, hide,
"I'll tell you what, I'll give you three blacks, and play you for five
..."
"Ta! You was unlucky there son"
"Time gentleman!"
Behind paranoid eyes.

You put on our brave face and slip over the road for a jar.
Fixing your grin as you casually lean on the bar,
Laughing too loud at the rest of the world
With the boys in the crowd
You hide, hide, hide,
Behind petrified eyes.

You believed in their stories of fame, fortune and glory.
Now you're lost in a haze of alcohol soft middle age
The pie in the sky turned out to be miles too high.
And you hide, hide, hide,
Behind brown and mild eyes.

"Oi!"

8. Get Your Filthy Hands Off My Desert

"Oi...Get your filthy hands off my desert!"
"What 'e say?"

Brezhnev took Afghanistan.
Begin took Beirut.
Galtieri took the Union Jack.
And Maggie, over lunch one day,
Took a cruiser with all hands.
Apparently, to make him give it back.

9. The Fletcher Memorial Home

Take all your overgrown infants away somewhere
And build them a home, a little place of their own.
The Fletcher Memorial
Home for Incurable Tyrants and Kings.

And they can appear to themselves every day
On closed circuit T.V.
To make sure they're still real.
It's the only connection they feel.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, Reagan and Haig,
Mr. Begin and friend, Mrs. Thatcher, and Paisly,
"Hello Maggie!"
Mr. Brezhnev and party.
"Scusi dov'è il bar?"
The ghost of McCarthy,
The memories of Nixon.
"Who's the bald chap?"
"Good-bye!"
And now, adding colour, a group of anonymous latin-
American meat packing glitterati.

Did they expect us to treat them with any respect?
They can polish their medals and sharpen their
Smiles, and amuse themselves playing games for awhile.
Boom boom, bang bang, lie down you're dead.

Safe in the permanent gaze of a cold glass eye
With their favorite toys
They'll be good girls and boys
In the Fletcher Memorial Home for colonial
Wasters of life and limb.

Is everyone in?
Are you having a nice time?
Now the final solution can be applied.

10. Southampton Dock

They disembarked in 45
And no-one spoke and no-one smiled
There were to many spaces in the line.
Gathered at the cenotaph
All agreed with the hand on heart
To sheath the sacrificial Knifes.
But now
She stands upon Southampton dock
With her handkerchief
And her summer frock clings
To her wet body in the rain.
In quiet desperation knuckles
White upon the slippery reins
She bravely waves the boys Goodbye again.

And still the dark stain spreads between
His shoulder blades.
A mute reminder of the poppy fields and graves.
And when the fight was over
We spent what they had made.
But in the bottom of our hearts
We felt the final cut.

11. The Final Cut

Through the fish-eyed lens of tear stained eyes
I can barely define the shape of this moment in time
And far from flying high in clear blue skies
I'm spiraling down to the hole in the ground where I hide.

If you negotiate the minefield in the drive
And beat the dogs and cheat the cold electronic eyes
And if you make it past the shotgun in the hall,
Dial the combination, open the priesthole
And if I'm in I'll tell you what's behind the wall.

There's a kid who had a big hallucination
Making love to girls in magazines.
He wonders if you're sleeping with your new found faith.
Could anybody love him
Or is it just a crazy dream?

And if I show you my dark side
Will you still hold me tonight?
And if I open my heart to you
And show you my weak side
What would you do?
Would you sell your story to Rolling Stone?
Would you take the children away
And leave me alone?
And smile in reassurance
As you whisper down the phone?
Would you send me packing?
Or would you take me home?

Thought I oughta bare my naked feelings,
Thought I oughta tear the curtain down.
I held the blade in trembling hands
Prepared to make it but just then the phone rang
I never had the nerve to make the final cut.

"Hello? Listen, I think I've got it. Okay, listen its a HaHa!"

12. Not Now John

Fuck all that we've got to get on with these
Gotta compete with the wily Japanese.
There's too many home fires burning
And not enough trees.
So fuck all that
We've go to get on with these.

Can't stop
Lose job
Mind gone
Silicon
What bomb
Get away
Pay day
Make hay
Break down
Need fix
Big six
Clickity click
Hold on
Oh no
Brrrrrrrrrring bingo!

Make 'em laugh.
Make 'em cry.
Make 'em dance in the aisles.
Make 'em pay.
Make 'em stay.
Make'em feel ok.

Not nah John
We've got to get on with the film show.
Hollywood waits at the end of the rainbow.
Who cares what it's about
As long as the kids go?
Not now John
Got to get on with the show.

Hang on John we've got to get on with this.
I don't know what it is
But it fits on here like.....
Come at the end of the shift
We'll go and get pissed.
But now now John
I've got to get on with this.

Hold on John
I think there's something good on.
I used to read books but.....
It could be the news
Or some other abuse
Or it could be reusable shows.

Fuck all that we've got to get on with these
Got to compete with the wily Japanese.
No need to worry about the Vietnamese.
Got to bring the Russian Bear to his knees.
Well, maybe not the Russian Bear
Maybe the Swedes.
We showed Argentina
Now let's go and show these.
Make us feel tough
And wouldn't Maggie be pleased?
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah!

"s'cusi dove il bar
(What?)
se para collo pou eine toe bar
s'il vous plait ou est le bar
(...say it in English!...)
oi, where's the fucking bar John?
(Oh, now you're talking!)"
Oh! Rule Britannia! Britannia rules the day
Down!
Go, Maggie!
Hammer, Hammer, Hammer, Hammer, now!

13. Two Suns in the Sunset

In my rear view mirror the sun is going down
Sinking behind bridges in the road
And I think of all the good things
That we have left undone
And I suffer premonitions
Confirm suspicions
Of the holocaust to come.

The wire that holds the cork
That keeps the anger in
Gives way
And suddenly it's day again.
The sun is in the east
Even though the day is done.
Two suns in the sunset
Hmmmmmmmmmm
Could be the human race is run.

Like the moment when the brakes lock
And you slide towards the big truck
"Oh no!"
"[scream] Daddy, Daddy!"
You stretch the frozen moments with your fear.
And you'll never hear their voices
And you'll never see their faces
You have no recourse to the law anymore.

And as the windshield melts
My tears evaporate
Leaving only charcoal to defend.
Finally I understand the feelings of the few.
Ashes and diamonds
Foe and friend
We were all equal in the end.

"...and now the weather. Tomorrow will be cloudy with scattered showers
spreading from the east ... with an expected high of 4000 degrees
Celsius"

In the darkest hole, you'd be well advised
Not to plan my funeral before the body dies, yeah
Come the morning light, it's a see through show
What you may have heard and what you think you know, yeah

Let the sun never blind your eyes
Let me sleep so my teeth won't grind
Hear a sound from a voice inside

Sure to play a part, so you love the game
And in truth your lies become one and same, yeah
I could set you free, rather hear the sound
Of your body breaking as I take you down, yeah

Let the sun never blind your eyes
Let me sleep so my teeth won't grind
Hear a sound from a voice inside

In the darkest hole, you'd be well advised
Not to plan my funeral before the body dies, yeah

Let the sun never blind your eyes
Let me sleep so my teeth won't grind
Hear a sound from a voice inside.

One smoke and your head spins around and around

An ol' transport queen momma you never seen

Hear a purrin' motor
And she's a burnin' fuel
Push it over, baby
We're makin' love unto you

Power booster, I'm talkin' to God and more
Crank it up and above my head
Smell my shit eating grin on the skin of my world
Six hundred sixty six miles per hour

Hear a purrin' motor
And she's a burnin' fuel
Push it over, baby
We're makin' love

Hear a purrin' motor
And she's a burnin' fuel (oh they were burnin')
Push it over, baby
We're makin' love unto you
Makin' love unto you...making

Yo, remember back on the boogie when cats use to harmonize like...
whooo, whooo whooo whooo,
yo, my men and my women,
don't forget about the dean,Sirat al-Mustaqim
yo, its about a thing, uh

If ya feel real good wave your hands in the air
and 'lick' two shots in the atmosphere...
yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah...

It's been three weeks since you've been looking for your friend
The one you let hit it and never called you again
'Member when he told you he was 'bout the Benjamin's
You act like you ain't hear him then gave him a little trim
To begin, how you think you really gon' pretend
Like you wasn't down then you called him again
Plus when you give it up so easy you ain't even foolin’ him
If you did it then, then you’d probably fuck again
Talking out your neck sayin' you're a Christian
A Muslim sleeping with the gin
Now that was the sin that did Jezebel in
Who you gon' tell when the reprocussions spin
Showing off your ass 'cause you're thinking it's a trend
Girlfriend, let me break it down for you again
You know I only say it 'cause I'm truly genuine
Don't be a hard rock when you really are a gem
Baby girl, respect is just a minimum
Niggas fucked up and you still defending 'em
Now Lauryn is only human
Don't think I haven't been through the same predicament
Let it sit inside your head like a million women in Philly, Penn.
It's silly when girls sell their soul because it's in
Look at where you be in hair weaves like Europeans
Fake nails done by Koreans
Come again
Win win come again, brethren come again, my friend come again, yo come again

Guys you know you better watch out
Some girls, some girls are only about
That thing, that thing, that thing(2x-this line)

The second verse is dedicated to the men
More concerned with his rims and his Tims than his women
Him and his men come in the club like hooligans
Don't care who they offend popping yang like you got yen
Let's not pretend, they wanna pack pistol by they waist men
Crystal by the case men, still in they mother's basement
The pretty face men, claiming that they did a bid men
Need to take care of their three and four kids then
They facing a court case when the child's support late
Money taking, heart breaking now you wonder why women hate men
The sneaky silent men, the punk domestic violence men
The quick to shoot the semen stop acting like boys and be men
How you gon' win when you ain't right within
How you gon' win when you ain't right within
How you gon' win when you ain't right within
Uh uh Come again
Yo yo Come again, brethren come again, sistren come again, come again

Watch out watch out, look out look out,
Watch out watch out, look out look out.

Girls you know you better watch out
Some guys, some guys are only about
That thing, that thing, that thing(2x-this line)

guys you know you better watch out
some girls, some girls are only about
that thing, that thing, that thing(2x-this line)

I will slip myself into your pocket
Invisible
do what you want
do what you want

I was thinking I would disappear
I will slip into the groove
And cut me up
And cut me up

There's an empty space inside my heart
Where the weeds take root
so now I set you free
I set you free

There's an empty space inside my heart
It won't take root
so now I set you free
I set you free

Slowly we unfold
As lotus flowers
And all I want
Is the moon upon a stick
Dancing around a pit
Just to see what is
I can't kick your habit
Just to feed your fast-ballooning head
Listen to your heart

We will sink and be quiet as mice
And while the cat is away
do what we want
do what we want

There's an empty space inside my heart
That once held you but now I
Set you free
I set you free

Cause all I want is the moon upon a stick
Just to see what is
Just to see what gives

the bird that's flown into my room

Slowly we unfold
as lotus flowers
All I want is the moon upon a stake
and dancing round the pit
the darkness is beneath
I can't kick the habit
Just to feed my fast-ballooning head
Listen to your heart.

Μίκης Θεοδωράκης - Χάθηκα (1960)

2011-01-30T15:03:00.000+02:00

Χάθηκα,
Μέσα στους δρόμους που μ' έδεσαν για πάντα
Μαζί με τα σοκάκια, μαζί με τα λιμάνια

Χάθηκα,
Γιατί δεν είχα τα φτερά και είχα εσένα Κατινιώ
Γιατ' είχα όνειρα πολλά
Και το λιμάνι,
και το λιμάνι είναι μικρό
Γιατ' ήμουν πάντα μόνος
Και θα 'μαι πάντα μόνος.
