Cat Stevens - Father and Son (1970) & The Flaming Lips - Fight Test (2003)
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)
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)
[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)
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)
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)
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)
(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.

I'm the hippiest number in town and I'll tell you why,
I'm the snappiest dresser right down to my inch wide tie,
And to get you wise I'll explain it to you,
A few of the things that a face is supposed to do.
I wear zoot suit jacket with side vents five inches long,
I have two-tone brogues yeah you know this is wrong.
But the main thing is unless you're a fool,
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)
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.

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

Scarlet for me, scarlet for you.

Νίκος Παπάζογλου - Βαριά βαλίτσα (1990)
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.

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)
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.

Μαρία Φαραντούρη - Ο Αντώνης (1975)
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
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Lover's Touch (2010)
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.
«Μέρα Μαγιού μού μίσεψες»
«Μέρες Μαγιού» από το 1893 ώς σήμερα

Pink Floyd - The Final Cut (1983)
| 1. The Post War Dream |
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.

Alice in Chains - Grind (1992)
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.

Kyuss - Gardenia (1994)
One blow till I'll take ya' down, I'll take ya down
One smoke and your head spins around and around
Chrome mags, a million drags, a never lags
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
Get back, get back a-rollin' (3x)
Get back, get back motherfucker
Get back, get back a-rollin'
Get back, get back motherfucker(2x).

Lauryn Hill - Doo Wop (That Thing) (1998)
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)

Radiohead - Lotus Flower (2011)
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)
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.
Blue Valentine (Η ταινία - 2010)/The Mills Brothers - You Always Hurt the One You Love (Το τραγούδι - 1944)
Ο Ryan Gosling (Dean) απαγγέλει στην λατρεμένη του Michelle Williams (Cindy), με ένα γιουκαλίλι, το You Always Hurt the One You Love. Η σκηνή διαδραματίζεται στην είσοδο καταστήματος πώλησης είδων για ερωτευμένους.
You always hurt the one you love
The one you shouldn't hurt at all
You always take the sweetest rose
And crush it till the petals fall
You always brea-eak the kindest hear-eart
With a hasty word you can't recall, so
If I broke your heart la-ast night
It's because I love you most of all
You always hurt the one you lo-ove
The one you shouldn't hurt at all
You always take the sweetest ro-ose
And crush it till the petals fa-all
You always break the kindest heart
With a hasty word you can't recall
So-o if I broke your heart last night
It's because I love you mo-ost of a-all
You always hurt the one you love
The one you shouldn't hurt at all
You always take the sweetest rose
Crush it, ti-ill the petals fall
You always brea-eak the kindest heart
With a hasty word you can't recall, so
If I broke your heart last night
It's because I love you most of all.

Tame Impala - Sundown Syndrome (2009)
Please don't get answers from eyes
You know that mine can't lie
Quite as well as yours
Just let the spare moment flow
Rounding steps as I go
Through the open doors
Please don't deflate from a sigh
I'd hold still every time but I'd start to shake
I wander around for days
Wondering what I'll say
When they want the truth
You will never know how hard I try
To keep from waning while waiting at the start
The depth of every touch is real as you need
But words don't do any favours for me
You will never know how hard I try
To keep from waning while waiting at the start
The depth of every touch is real as you need
But words don't do any favours for me
You will never know how hard I try
To keep from waning while waiting at the start
The depths of every touch is real as you need
But words don't do any favours for me
You will never know how hard I try
To keep from waning while waiting at the start
The depth of every touch is real as you need
But words don't do any favours for me
You will never know how hard I try
To keep from waning while waiting at the start
The depth of every touch is real as you need
But words don't do any favours for me.

Anna Calvi - Jezebel (2010)
Jezebel.
Jezebel.
If ever the devil was born,
Without a pair of horns
It was you,
Jezebel, it was you.
If ever an angel fell,
Jezebel,
It was you.
Jezebel, it was you.
If ever a pair of eyes,
Promised paradise.
Deceiving me, grieving me,
Leavin' me blue.
Jezebel, it was you.
If ever the devil's plan,
Was made to torment man,
It was you,
Jezebel, it was you.
T would be better I had I never known,
A lover such as you.
Forsaking dreams and all,
For the siren call of your arms.
Like a demon, love possessed me,
You obsessed me constantly.
What evil star is mine,
That my fate's design,
Should be Jezebel?
If ever a pair of eyes,
Promised paradise.
Deceiving me, grieving me,
Leavin' me blue.
Jezebel, it was you.
If ever the devil's plan,
Was made to torment man,
It was you,
Night an' day, every way.
Oh, Jezebel, Jezebel, Jezebel.
