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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
[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
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'.
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.
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.
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.
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.
[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

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.
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

Leading us into
Temptation

Backhand, role reversal
Where is someone?
Backhand, reversible roles

With a loose grip
On such a tight ship

All over, all over, all over, all over, all over, all over, all over
You.
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.
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.
I know you
Don't know what I'm going through
Standing here looking at you
Well let me tell you that it hurts so bad
It makes me feel so sad
It makes me hurt so bad to see you again
Like needles and pins
People say "you've been making out okay
He's in love don't stand in his way"
Well let me tell you that it hurts so bad
It makes me feel so sad
It's gonna hurt so bad if you walk away
Why don't you stay and let me make it up to you
I'll do anything you want me to
You loved me before please love me again
I can't let you go back to her
Please don't go
Please don't go
Please don't go
Please don't go
Hurt so bad
Come back it hurts so bad
Don't make it hurt so bad
I'm begging you please
Oooooh oh oh oh

Να 'ρθεις αυτή την όμορφη βραδιά
και σαν δυο ξένοιαστα παιδιά
να φύγουμε γι' αλλού.
Να 'ρθεις και με πιλότο την καρδιά
να βρούμε μια άγνωστη αμμουδιά
κάποιου χρυσού γιαλού.
Θα γίνω βραζιλιάνα με το σομπρέρος μου
θα 'σαι ο καμπαλέρος μου
κι όταν αρχίσει ο έρως μου για σένα,
θ' αρχίσουν οι μαράκες ρυθμό να δίνουνε,
τ' άστρα θα τρεμοσβήνουνε
κι όλα χορός να γίνουνε θα λες.
Αυτό το μάμπο το μπραζιλέιρο
μου δίνει κέφι, μου δίνει στιλ
και βραζιλιάνο με κάνει βέρο
αυτό το μάμπο απ' τη Μπραζίλ.
Down down down into a cloud of shame
You love me like a car wreck, wrapped around a tree
Down down down, it’s the only way to go
Sometimes it's hard to hold on, without letting go
I walk in the water 'cause I can hardly breathe
We can leave the ones who love us
You’re all I ever need
Just sand in the water
Drown next to me
Now, now, now, cause the curtain has to close
We take a bow and face the crowd, realize we’re all in the show
Now just now you can rest your weary eyes
It’s only over once you leave before it makes you feel dead alive
I walk in the water 'cause I can hardly breathe
We can leave the ones who love us
You’re all I ever need
We’ll tell each other lies
That I know we’ll both believe
Just sand in the water
Drown next to me
I’m never letting go
Caught in the undertow
Take your run up and sow
Dive down 'cause I just wanna try to last both out
I walk in the water 'cause I can hardly breathe
We can leave the ones who love us
You’re all I ever need
We’ll tell each other lies
That I know we’ll both believe
Just sand in the water
Just sand in the water
Just stand in the water
Drown next to me.
Something in the way she moves,
Attracts me like no other lover.
Something in the way she woos me.
I don't want to leave her now,
You know I believe and how.
Somewhere in her smile she knows,
That I don't need no other lover.
Something in her style that shows me.
I don't want to leave her now,
You know I believe and how.
You're asking me will my love grow,
I don't know, I don't know.
Stick around, and it may show,
But I don't know, I don't know.
Something in the way she knows,
And all I have to do is think of her.
Something in the things she shows me.
I don't want to leave her now.
You know I believe and how.

You don't do unto me, like I know you could
Why am I the only one who's misunderstood?
Ashes to ashes, and it's dust to dust,
Well, if you won't take me then I guess the devil must.
I've been hurting, my hearts been burning,
I've been hurting, but I've been learning, just the same
Well, I've been waiting, seems like forever
While I've been waiting,
my situation ain't got much better
While I've been waiting,
the situation ain't got much better
I've been waiting,
the situation don't get much better.
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very very
mad world mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me
And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very very
Mad world, world
Enlarge your world
Mad world.
Out in the street, shufflin' feet,
Couples passin' two by two,
While here am I, left high and dry,
Black, and 'cause I'm black I'm blue.
Browns and yellers, all have fellers,
Gentlemen prefer them light,
Wish I could fade, can't make the grade,
Nothing but dark days in sight:
Cold, empty bed, Springs hard as lead,
Pains in my head, Feel like old Ned.
What did I do, to be so Black And Blue?
No joys for me, No company,
Even the mouse ran from my house,
All my life through, I've been so Black And Blue.
I'm white inside, It don't help my case
'Cause I can't hide, what is on my face, oh!
I'm so forlorn, Life's just a thorn,
My heart is torn, Why was I born?
What did I do, to be so Black And Blue?
'Cause you're black, Folks think you lack
They laugh at you, And scorn you too,
What did I do, to be so Black And Blue?
When you are near, they laugh and sneer,
Set you aside and you're denied,
What did I do, to be so Black And Blue?
How sad I am, each day I feel worse,
My mark of Ham seems to be a curse!
How will it end? Ain't got a friend,
My only sin Is my skin.
What did I do, to be so Black And Blue?
Here I sit
A vampire at my piano
The flames burn glaringly higher
And the eyes that stare
through the darkness
Though they have no form
There's no need for alarm
So burn, so burn
Burn the flames higher and higher
So burn, burn the flames
Never to expire
Here I sit
A skeleton at my organ
The candles in my candelabra
burning hellishly, hellish hell
And the laughter unending echoes
through the haunted house
A little Christmas spirit
Ghostly haunting deadly spirit
Every creature is stirring
Even the mouse
So burn, so burn
Burn the flames higher, higher, higher, and higher
So burn, burn the flames
Never to expire
So burn...
Burn the flames higher, higher, higher, and higher
So burn, burn the flames
Never to expire
Here I sit myself at my instruments
Here they sit at their instruments
And the music fills and fills
Terrifies, horrifies, forever scares
The children of the night
What music we make
So burn, so burn
Burn the flames higher and higher
So burn, burn the flames
Never to expire.
The machine of a dream
Such a clean machine
With the pistons a pumpin'
And the hub caps all gleam
When I'm holdin' your wheel
All I hear is your gear
When my hand's on your grease gun
Oh it's like a disease son
I'm in love with my car
Gotta feel for my automobile
Get a grip on my boy racer rollbar
Such a thrill when your radials squeal
Told my girl I'll have to forget her
Rather buy me a new carburetor
So she made tracks sayin'
This is the end now
Cars don't talk back
They're just four wheeled friends now
When I'm holdin your wheel
All I hear is your gear
When I'm cruisin' in overdrive.
I was all right for a while, I could smile for a while
But I saw you last night you held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say hello
Oh, you wished me well, you couldn't tell
That I've been crying over you, crying over you
And you said, so long
Left me standing all alone
Alone and crying, crying, crying, crying
It's hard to understand but the touch of your hand
Can start me crying
I thought that I was over you
But it's true, so true
I love you even more than I did before
But darling, what can I do
For you don't love me and I'll always be
Crying over you, crying over you
Yes, now you're gone and from this moment on
I'll be crying, crying, crying, crying
Yeah, crying, crying over you.
Τα χείλη μου ξερά και διψασμένα
γυρεύουνε στην άσφαλτο νερό
περνάνε δίπλα μου τα τροχοφόρα
και συ μου λες μας περιμένει η μπόρα
και με τραβάς σε καμπαρέ υγρό
Βαδίζουμε μαζί στον ίδιο δρόμο
μα τα κελιά μας είναι χωριστά
σε πολιτεία μαγική γυρνάμε
δε θέλω πια να μάθω τι ζητάμε
φτάνει να μου χαρίσεις δυο φιλιά
Με παίζεις στη ρουλέτα και με χάνεις
σε ένα παραμύθι εφιαλτικό
φωνή εντόμου τώρα ειν' η φωνή μου
φυτό αναρριχώμενο η ζωή μου
με κόβεις και με ρίχνεις στο κενό
Πώς η ανάγκη γίνεται ιστορία
πώς η ιστορία γίνεται σιωπή
τι με κοιτάζεις Ρόζα μουδιασμένο
συγχώρα με που δεν καταλαβαίνω
τι λένε τα κομπιούτερς κι οι αριθμοί
Αγάπη μου από κάρβουνο και θειάφι
πώς σ' έχει αλλάξει έτσι ο καιρός
περνάνε πάνω μας τα τροχοφόρα
και γω μέσ' στην ομίχλη και τη μπόρα
κοιμάμαι στο πλευρό σου νηστικός
Πώς η ανάγκη γίνεται ιστορία
πώς η ιστορία γίνεται σιωπή
τι με κοιτάζεις Ρόζα μουδιασμένο
συγχώρα με που δεν καταλαβαίνω
τι λένε τα κομπιούτερς κι οι αριθμοί.
Girls of fifteen
Sexually knowing
The ushers are sniffing
Eau-de-cologning
The seats are seductive
Celibate sitting
Pretty girls digging
Prettier women.
Magically bored
On a quiet street corner
Free frustration
In our minds and our toes
Quiet stormwater
M-m-my generation
Uppers and downers
Either way blood flows.
Inside outside
Leave me alone.
Inside outside
Nowhere is home.
Inside outside
Where have I been?
Out of my brain on the five fifteen
Out of my brain on a train.
On a raft in the quarry
Slowly sinking.
On the back of a lorry
Holy hitching.
Dreadfully sorry
Apple scrumping.
Born in the war
Birthday punching.
He man drag
In the glittering ballroom
Greyly outrageous
In my high heel shoes
Tightly undone
They know what they're showing
Sadly ecstatic
That their heroes are news.
Inside outside
Leave me alone.
Inside outside
Nowhere is home.
Inside outside
Where have I been?
Out of my brain on the five fifteen
Out of my brain on a train.
I want love
To roll me over slowly
stick a knife inside me,
and twist it all around.
I want love to
grab my fingers gently
slam them in a doorway
put my face into the ground.
I want love to
murder my own mother
and take her off to somewhere
like hell or up above.
I want love to
change my friends to enemies,
change my friends to enemies
and show me how it's all my fault.
I wont let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me x 2
Yeah I wont let love disrupt, corrupt, or interrupt me anymore.
I want love to
walk right up and bite me
grab a hold of me and fight me
leave me dying on the ground.
And I want love to
split my mouth wide open and
cover up my ears,
and never let me hear a sound.
I want love to,
forget that you offended me
or how you have defended me,
when everybody tore me down.
Yeah I want love to
change my friends to enemies,
change my friends to enemies
and show me how it's all my fault.
Yeah I wont let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me
I wont let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me
I wont let love disrupt, corrupt, or interrupt me anymore.
It's fucking sad that we need a tragedy to occur to gain a fresh perspective in our lives
Nothing happens for a reason, there's no point even pretending you know the sad truth as well as I
Oh god, the morning light
Sun rays bring my paranoia
I can't function unless I'm the only one awake
Rancor of our
last conversation that
forbidden word you
deform to
handicap me then
abuse your advantage
I'm nervous my soul is returning to crystals,
because your eyes are an agent of darkness
There's nothing to fight
It's just a bit of fait accompli
I spend my waking hours haunting my life
I made the one I love start crying tonight
And it felt good
Still there must be a more elegant solution
Lately I'm rotted in the filth of
self offered agonies that really should
fill me with shame,
but all I have is this manic energy
I lost my page in being the black sinner disciple in your heart collage
Just want to celebrate me
Need to suffer more
Face our pure liberty
Converts officiate
Divides new stratagems to
Disembowel our corinthian characters
I spend my waking hours haunting my life
I made the one I love start crying tonight
And it felt good
Still there must be a more elegant solution
I know I'm upside down about you
Your kindness feels like blasphemy or some sick education on the limits of humanity
So I profane the laws of some Victorian garbage
And listen to you smashing up my studio again
I spend my waking hours haunting my life
I made the one I love start crying tonight
And it felt good
Still there must be a more elegant solution
Lately all I can produce is psychotic vitriol
That really should fill me with guilt
But all I have is asmatic energy
I blame you for the moonlit sky
And the dream that died with the Eagle's flight
I blame you for the moonlit nights
When I wonder why are the seas still dry?
Don't blame this sleeping satellite
Did we fly to the moon too soon?
Did we squander the chance? In the rush of the race
The reason we chase is lost in romance
And still we try to justify the waste
For a taste of man's greatest adventure
I blame you for the moonlit sky
And the dream that died with the Eagle's flight
I blame you for the moonlit nights
When I wonder why are the seas still dry?
Don't blame this sleeping satellite
Have we got what it takes to advance?
Did we peak too soon? If the world is so green
Then why does it scream under a blue moon?
We wonder why the earth's sacrificed
For the price of its greatest treasure
I blame you for the moonlit sky
And the dream that died with the Eagle's flight
I blame you for the moonlit nights
When I wonder why are the seas still dry?
Don't blame this sleeping satellite
And when we shoot for the stars
What a giant step have we got what it takes
To carry the weight of this concept?
Or pass it by like a shot in the dark
Miss the mark with a sense of adventure
I blame you for the moonlit sky
And the dream that died with the Eagle's flight
I blame you for the moonlit nights
When I wonder why are the seas still dry?
Don't blame this sleeping satellite.
Naked as sin
an army towel, covering my belly
Some of us weep, some of us howl
Knees turn to jelly
But Next! Next!
I was just a child
A hundred like me
I followed a naked body
a naked body followed me
Next! Next!
I was just a child when my innocence was lost
in a mobile army whorehouse
a gift of the army, free of cost
Next! Next! Next!
Me, I really would have liked a little bit of tenderness
Maybe a word, maybe a smile, maybe some happiness
But Next! Next!
Oh it was not so tragic
and heaven did not fall
But how much at that time
I hated being there at all
Next! Next!
I still recall the brothel trucks, the flying flags
The queer lieutenant slapped our arses
thinking we were fags
Next! Next! Next!
I swear on the wet head
of my first case of gonorrhea
It is his ugly voice that I forever fear
Next! Next!
A voice that stinks of whiskey
of corpses and of mud
The voice of nations
the thick voice of blood
Next! Next!
Since then each woman I have taken into bed
they seem to lie in my arms
and they whisper in my head
Next! Next!
All the naked and the dead
could hold each other's hands
as they watch me dream at night
in a dream that nobody understands
and though I am not dreaming in a voice
grown dry and hollow
I stand on endless naked lines of the following and the followed
Next! Next!
One day I'll cut my legs off
I'll burn myself alive
I'll do anything to get out of life to survive
not ever to be next
Next! Next!
not ever
to be next, not ever...................

A summer evening on Les Champs Elyses A secret rendezvous they planned for days I see faces in the crowded cafe A sound of Laughter as the music plays.
Jeanne-Claude's student at the University Louise-Marie is just a world away You recall the night they met was warm with laughter The words and music as she turned away.
I'll meet you at midnight Under the moonlight I'll meet you at midnight Oh, but Jeanne-Claude, Louise-Marie will never be
Each cigarette will light a thousand faces The shade is passing like a thousand years Midnight was turning into empty spaces The sound of laughter'd disappeared
I'll meet you at midnight
Under the moonlight
I'll meet you at midnight
Oh, but Jeanne-Claude, Louise-Marie will never be
A summer morning on Les Champs Elyses The entertainment in the street cafe The sunlight melting through an open doorway Jeanne-Claude has left some other day.
So soon we're too old to carry
We knew we only had a little while
In the middle keep ticking over
Before you know it, parent a parent
To have it all and still want more
One things for sure we're all getting older
So we take a lover waiting in the corner
Before you know it, pushing up the daisies
And we go back to where we came from
Like those before and those to come
And know its the ever and the more
And again and again and again
In the end nothing comes easy
So you find a way to take a little with you
For the ones you love, there if they need to
Pharaoh, they're not coming with you.
And we go back to where we came from
Like those before and those to come
And know its the ever and the more
And again and again and again
So soon we're too old to carry
We knew we only had a little while
In the middle keep ticking over
Before you know it, parent a parent
And we go back to where we came from
Like those before and those to come
And know its the ever and the more
And again and again and again.
I’m a puppet on a string Tracy island, time-traveling diamond Coulda shaped heartaches Come to find ya fall in some velvet morning Years too late She’s a silver lining lone ranger riding Through an open space In my mind when she’s not right there beside me I go crazy cause here isn’t where I wanna be And satisfaction feels like a distant memory And I can’t help myself, All I wanna hear her say is “Are you mine?” Are you mine? Are you mine? Are you mine?
I guess what I’m trying to say is I need the deep end Keep imagining meeting, wished away entire lifetimes Unfair we’re not somewhere misbehaving for days Great escape lost track of time and space She’s a silver lining climbing on my desire And I go crazy cause here isn’t where I wanna be And satisfaction feels like a distant memory And I can’t help myself, All I wanna hear her say is “Are you mine?” Are you mine? Are you mine? Are you mine?
And the thrill of the chase moves in mysterious ways So in case I’m mistaken, I just wanna hear you say you got me baby Are you mine? She’s a silver lining lone ranger riding through an open space In my mind when she’s not right there beside me And I go crazy cause here isn’t where I wanna be And satisfaction feels like a distant memory And I can’t help myself, All I wanna hear her say is “Are you mine?” Well are you mine? Are you mine? Are you mine?
Qui dove il mare luccica
e tira forte il vento
su una vecchia terrazza davanti al golfo di Sorrento
un uomo abbraccia una ragazza
dopo che aveva pianto
poi si schiarisce la voce e ricomincia il canto:
Te voglio bene assai
ma tanto tanto bene sai
e' una catena ormai
che scioglie il sangue dint' e' vene sai...
Vide le luci in mezzo al mare
pensò alle notti la in America
ma erano solo le lampare
e la bianca scia di un'elica
sentì il dolore nella musica
si alzò dal Pianoforte
ma quando vide la luna uscire da una nuvola
gli sembrò più dolce anche la morte
Guardò negli occhi la ragazza
quegli occhi verdi come il mare
poi all'improvviso uscì una lacrima
e lui credette di affogare.
Te voglio bene assai
ma tanto tanto bene sai
e' una catena ormai
e scioglie il sangue dint'e vene sai...
Potenza della lirica
dove ogni dramma e' un falso
che con un po' di trucco e con la mimica
puoi diventare un altro
Ma due occhi che ti guardano
così vicini e veri
ti fanno scordare le parole
confondono i pensieri.
Così diventò tutto piccolo
anche le notti la in America
ti volti e vedi la tua vita
come la scia di un'elica.
Ah si, e' la vita che finisce
ma lui non ci pensò poi tanto
anzi si sentiva felice
e ricominciò il suo canto:
Te voglio bene assai
ma tanto tanto bene sai
e' una catena ormai
che scioglie il sangue dint'e vene sai...Te voglio bene assai
ma tanto tanto bene sai
e' una catena ormai
che scioglie il sangue dint'e vene sai...
(Here, where the sea shines
and the wind howls,
on the old terrace beside the gulf of Sorrento,
a man embraces a girl
he wept after,
then clears his throat and continues the song:
I love you very much,
very, very much, you know;
it is a chain by now
that melts the blood inside the veins, you know…
He saw the lights out on the sea,
thought of the nights there in America,
but they were only the fishermen’s lamps
and the white wash astern.
He felt the pain in the music
and stood up from the piano,
but when he saw the moon emerging from a cloud
death also seemed sweeter to him.
He looked the girl in the eyes,
those eyes as green as the sea.
Then suddenly a tear fell
and he believed he was drowning.
I love you very much,
very, very much, you know,
it is a chain by now
that melts the blood inside the vein you know…
The power of opera,
where every drama is a hoax;
with a little make-up and with mime
you can become someone else.
But two eyes that look at you,
so close and real,
make you forget the words,
confuse your thoughts,So everything became small,
also the nights there in America.
You turn and see your life
through the white wash astern. But, yes, it is life that ends
and he did not think so much about it
on the contrary, he already felt happy
and continued his song:
I love you very much,
very, very much, you know,
it is a chain by now
that melts the blood inside the veins, you know…
I love you very much,
very, very much, you know,
it is a chain by now
that melts the blood inside the veins, you know)
