236. Tell me - Au Revoir Simone



Places exist
Just when we need them
And times like this
Just when we need them
I never noticed before
Seems that i was waiting for
If we ignore all the signs
Doesn't mean there won't be more
Things are far out
Electric is the air
And farther out
There's magic everywhere
If we can see
Everything that we could be noticing
And really see we can wake
From the scenes we're all dreaming

235. Inquietação - JP Simões



A contas com o bem que tu me fazes
A contas com o mal por que passei
Com tantas guerras que travei
Já não sei fazer as pazes

São flores aos milhões entre ruínas
Meu peito feito campo de batalha
Cada alvorada que me ensinas
Oiro em pó que o vento espalha

Cá dentro inquietação, inquietação
É só inquietação, inquietação
Porquê, não sei
Porquê, não sei
Porquê, não sei ainda

Há sempre qualquer coisa que está pra acontecer
Qualquer coisa que eu devia perceber
Porquê, não sei
Porquê, não sei
Porquê, não sei ainda

Ensinas-me fazer tantas perguntas
Na volta das respostas que eu trazia
Quantas promessas eu faria
Se as cumprisse todas juntas

Não largues esta mão no torvelinho
Pois falta sempre pouco para chegar
Eu não meti o barco ao mar
Pra ficar pelo caminho

Cá dentro inqueitação, inquietação
É só inquietação, inquietação
Porquê, não sei
Porquê, não sei
Porquê, não sei ainda

Há sempre qualquer coisa que está pra acontecer
Qualquer coisa que eu devia perceber
Porquê, não sei
Porquê, não sei
Porquê, não sei ainda

Cá dentro inqueitação, inquietação
É só inquietação, inquietação
Porquê, não sei
Mas sei
É que não sei ainda

Há sempre qualquer coisa que eu tenho que fazer
Qualquer coisa que eu devia resolver
Porquê, não sei
Mas sei
Que essa coisa é que é linda.

234. The puzzle - Ane Brun



I walked into love
I walked into a minefield
I never heard of

I walked into love
I walked into a minefield
I never heard of

Her remains were spread out like the pieces of a puzzle
it took her 365 days putting them together
the pieces were quite difficult to distinguish from eachother
they were tiny and the clear blue sky
went on forever

Clearly the corners were an easy start
that was when everyone was still
helping me out
when it was time to fill in the frames
they left – they thought I ought
to have gotten over you
by then

Her remains were spread out like the pieces of a puzzle
it took her 365 days putting them together
the pieces were quite difficult to distinguish from eachother
they were tiny and the clear blue sky
went on forever

I wouldn´t do that to you
I wouldn´t do that to you
I wouldn´t do that to you
I wouldn´t do that to you

I walked into love
I walked into a minefield
I never heard of

I walked into love
I walked into a minefield
I never heard of
I never heard of…

233. A-punk - Vampire Weekend



Johanna drove slowly into the city
The Hudson River all filled with snow
She spied the ring on His Honor's finger
Oh-oh-oh

A thousand years in one piece of silver
She took it from his lilywhite hand
Showed no fear - she'd seen the thing
In the Young Men's Wing at Sloan-Ketterin

[CHORUS:]

Look outside at the raincoats coming, say OH

His Honor drove southward seeking exotica
Down to the Pueblo huts of New Mexico
Cut his teeth on turquoise harmonicas
Oh-oh-oh

I saw Johanna down in the subway
She took an apartment in Washington Heights
Half of the ring lies here with me
But the other half's at the bottom of the sea

[CHORUS]

232. Keep the streets empty for me - Fever Ray





Memory comes when memory's old
I am never the first to know
Following the stream up North
Where do people like us float

There is room in my lap
For bruises, asses, handclaps
I will never disappear
For forever, I'll be here

Whispering
Morning, keep the streets empty for me
Morning, keep the streets empty for me

I'm laying down, eating snow
My fur is hot, my tongue is cold
On a bed of spider web
I think of how to change myself

A lot of hope in a one man tent
There's no room for innocence
Take me home before the storm
Velvet moths will keep us warm

Whispering
Morning, keep the streets empty for me

Uncover our heads and reveal our souls
We were hungry before we were born

231. Corduroy - Pearl Jam



The waiting drove me mad...
You're finally here and I'm a mess.
I take your entrance back -
Can't let you roam inside my head.

I don't want to take what you can give
I would rather starve than eat your bread.
I would rather run but I can't walk
Guess I'll lie alone just like before.

I'll take the varmint's path
Oh and I must refuse your test
A-push me and I will resist
This behavior's not unique.

I don't want to hear from those who know
They can buy, but can't put on my clothes.
I don't want to limp for them to walk
Never would have known of me before.
I don't want to be held in your debt.
I'll pay it off in blood, let I be wed
I'm already cut up and half dead
I'll end up alone like I began.

Everything has chains, absolutely nothing's changed.
Take my hand, not my picture, spilled my tincture.

I don't want to take what you can give
I would rather starve than eat your bread
All the things that others want for me
Can't buy what I want because it's free
Can't buy what I want because it's free
Can't be what you want because I'm...

I ain't s'posed to be just fun
Oh, to live and die, let it be done.
I figure I'll be damned - all alone like I began...
It's your move now...
I thought you were a friend, but I guess I, I guess I hate you...

230. Caring is creepy - The Shins



I think I'll go home and mull this over
Before I cram it down my throat
At long last it's crashed, its colossal mass
Has broken up into bits in my moat.

Lift the mattress off the floor
Walk the cramps off
Go meander in the cold
Hail to your dark skin
Hiding the fact you're dead again
Underneath the power lines seeking shade
Far above our heads are the icy heights that contain all reason

It's a luscious mix of words and tricks
That let us bet when we know we should fold
On rocks i dreamt of where we'd stepped
And of the whole mess of roads we're now on.

Hold your glass up, hold it in
Never betray the way you've always known it is.
One day I'll be wondering how
I got so old just wondering how
never got cold wearing nothing in the snow.

This is way beyond my remote concern
Of being condescending

All these squawking birds won't quit.
Building nothing, laying bricks.

229. Days that are over - Sondre Lerche



One hundred thousand cars have passed this house
The celebration starts with laughter

Can it be that we're not clean?
The days have turned to haze
Tell me how we should have lied
to keep away this space
To keep from snowing in
Keep from lingering
Keep our worlds apart

When it come to letting go
Let the quicksand flow
When I write it in the sand
There is something wrong

Days that are over
Will not continue to last
If you try to construct the past

I leave the heat on to leave a trace
of all the things the air was filled with

All the words I never knew and all the words I know
Now they all come out too late for you to realize
Satisfy my luck
This director's cut
doesn't spare an inch

I have never seen this place and no surrounding walls
As the party turns to dust they all understand

Days that are over
Will not continue to last
If you try to construct the past

228. In the backseat - Arcade Fire



I like the peace
in the backseat,
I don't have to drive,
I don't have to speak,
I can watch the country side,
and I can fall asleep.

My family tree's
losing all its leaves,
crashing towards the driver's seat,
the lightning bolt made enough heat
to melt the street beneath your feet.

Alice died
in the night,
I've been learning to drive.
My whole life,
I've been learning.

I like the peace
in the backseat,
I don't have to drive,
I don't have to speak,
I can watch the country side

Alice died
in the night,
I've been learning to drive.
My whole life,
I've been learn----Oh....

227. Be Ok - Ingrid Michaelson



I just want to be ok, be ok, be ok
I just want to be ok today
I just want to be ok, be ok, be ok
I just want to be ok today

I just want to feel today, feel today, feel today
I just want to feel something today
I just want to feel today, feel today, feel today
I just want to feel something today

CHORUS:
Open me up and you will see
I'm a gallery of broken hearts
I'm beyond repair, let me be
And give me back my broken parts

I just want to know today, know today, know today
I just want to know something today
I just want to know today, know today, know today
Know that maybe I will be ok

CHORUS

Just give me back my pieces
Just give them back to me please
Just give me back my pieces
And let me hold my broken parts

I just want to be ok, be ok, be ok
I just want to be ok today
I just want to be ok, be ok, be ok
I just want to be ok today

I just want to feel today, feel today, feel today
I just want to feel something today
I just want to know today, know today, know today
Know that maybe I will be ok
Know that maybe I will be ok
Know that maybe I will be ok

226. New slang - The Shins



Gold teeth and a curse for this town were all in my mouth.
Only, I don't know how they got out, dear.
Turn me back into the pet that I was when we met.
I was happier then with no mind-set.

And if you'da took to me like
A gull takes to the wind.
Well, I'da jumped from my tree
And I'da danced like the king of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives woulda fared well.

New slang when you notice the stripes, the dirt in your fries.
Hope it's right when you die, old and bony.
Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall,
Never shoulda called
But my head's to the wall and i'm lonely.

And if you'da took to me like
A gull takes to the wind.
Well, I'da jumped from my tree
And I'da danced like the king of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives woulda fared well.

God speed all the bakers at dawn may they all cut their thumbs,
And bleed into their buns 'til they melt away.

I'm looking in on the good life I might be doomed never to find.
Without a trust or flaming fields am I too dumb to refine?
And if you'da took to me like
Well I'da danced like the queen of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives woulda fared well.

225. Two weeks - Grizzly Bear



Save up all the days
A routine malaise
Just like yesterday
I told you I would stay

Would you always
Maybe sometimes
Make it easy
Take your time

Think of all the ways
Momentary phase
Just like yesterday
I told you I would stay

Every time you try
Quarter half the mile
Just like yesterday
I told you I would stay

Would you always
Maybe sometimes
Make it easy
Take your time

224. The district sleeps alone tonight - The Postal Service



Smeared black ink.
Your palms are sweaty,
and I'm barely listening
to last demands.
I'm staring at the asphalt wondering
"What's buried underneath where I am?"
(Where I am)

I'll wear my badge:
a vinyl sticker with big block letters
adhered to my chest
tells your new friends
"I am a visitor here... I am not permanent."
And the only thing keeping me dry is...
(Where I am)

You seem so out of context,
in this gaudy apartment complex.
A stranger with your door key,
explaining that I'm just visiting.
And I am finally seeing
why I was the one worth leaving.
Why I was the one worth leaving.

D.C. sleeps alone tonight.

(Where I am)
You seem so out of context
in this gaudy apartment complex.
(Where I am)
A stranger with your door key
explaining that I'm just visiting.
(Where I am)
And I am finally seeing
why I was the one worth leaving.
Why I was the one worth leaving.

(Where I am)
The District sleeps alone tonight
after the bars turn out their lights
(Where I am)
and send the autos swerving
into the loneliest evening.
(Where I am)
And I am finally seeing
why I was the one worth leaving.
why I was the one worth leaving.
why I was the one worth leaving.
why I was the one worth leaving.

223. Seven - Fever Ray



I've got a friend who I've known since I was seven
We used to talk on the phone, if we had time, if it's the right time

Accompany me by the kitchen sink
We talk about love, we talk about dishwasher tablets, illness
And we dream about heaven

I know it, I think I know it from a hymn
They've said so, it doesn't need more explanation
A box to open up with light and sound
Making you cold
Very cold

I leave home at seven
Under a heavy sky, I ride my bike up, I ride my bike down

November smoke and your toes go numb
A new colour on the Globe
It goes from white to red, a little voice in my head says oh, oh, oh

I know it, I think I know it from a hymn
They've said so, it doesn't need more explanation
A box to open up with light and sound
And if you don't
You're on your own

222. Stop crying your heart out - Oasis



Hold up!
Hold on!
Don't be scared,
You'll never change what's been and gone
May your smile, (may your smile)
Shine on, (shine on)
Don't be scared, (don't be scared)
Your destiny may keep you warm,

'Cause all of the stars,
Have faded away
Just try not to worry,
You'll see them someday,
Take what you need,
And be on your way and
Stop crying your heart out

Get up, (get up)
Come on, (come on)
Why you scared? (I'm not scared...)
You'll never change what's been and gone

'Cause all of the stars,
Have faded away
Just try not to worry,
You'll see them some day,
Take what you need,
And be on your way and
Stop crying your heart out

'Cause all of the stars,
Have faded away
Just try not to worry,
You'll see them someday.
Just take what you need,
And be on your way and
Stop crying your heart out

We're all of the stars,
We're fading away.
Just try not to worry,
You'll see us someday.
Just take what you need,
And be on your way and
Stop crying your heart out... [4x]

221. He doesn't know why - Fleet Foxes



Penniless and tired, with your hair grown long
I was looking at you there and your face looked wrong
Memory is a fickle siren song
I didn't understand

In the gentle light as the mornin' nears
you don't say a single word of your last two years
Where you were or when you'll reach the frontier
I didn't understand, no

See your rugged hands and a silver knife
Twenty dollars in your hand that you hold so tight
All the evidence of your vagrant life
My brother you were born

And you will try to do what you did before
Pull the wool over your eyes for a week or more
Let your family take you back to your
original mind

There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can say
There's nothing I can say
I can say

220. Analyse - Thom Yorke





A self-fulfilling prophecy of endless possibility
In rolling reams across a screen
In algebra, in algebra

In fences that you cannot climb
In sentences that do not rhyme
In all that you can ever change
The one you're looking for

It gets you down
It gets you down
There's no spark
No light in the dark

It gets you down
It gets you down
You traveled far
What have you found?

That there's no time
There's no time
To analyse
To think things through
To make sense

By candles in the city
They never looked so pretty
By powercuts and blackouts
Sleeping like babies

It gets you down
It gets you down
You're just playing a part
You're just playing a part
You're playing a part
Playing a part

But there's no time
There's no time
To analyse
Analyse

219. Go do - Jónsi





Go sing, too loud
Make your voice break - Sing it out
Go scream, do shout
Make an earthquake...

You wish fire, would die and turn colder
You wish, your love, could see you grow older
We should always know that we can do anything

Go drum, do go out
Make your hands ache - Play it out
Go march through crowds
Make your day break...

You wish silence, released noise in tremors
You wish, I know it, surrender to summers
We should always know that we can do everything

Go do, you'll know how to
Just let yourself, fall into landslide

Go do, you'll know how to
Just let yourself, give into low tide

Go do!

Tie strings to clouds
Make your own lake - Let it flow
Throw seeds to sprout
Make your own break - Let them grow

Let them grow (Endless summers)
Let them grow (Endless summers)

(Go do endless summers)

You will survive, will never stop wonders
You and sunrise will never fall under

You will survive, will never stop wonders
You and sunrise will never fall under
We should always know that we can do anything

Go do!

218. Quero é Viver - Humanos



Vou viver
até quando eu não sei
que me importa o que serei
quero é viver

Amanhã, espero sempre um amanhã
e acredito que será
mais um prazer

e a vida é sempre uma curiosidade
que me desperta com a idade
interessa-me o que está para vir
a vida em mim é sempre uma certeza
que nasce da minha riqueza
do meu prazer em descobrir

encontrar, renovar, vou fugir ou repetir

vou viver,
até quando, eu não sei
que me importa o que serei
quero é viver
amanhã, espero sempre um amanhã
eacredito que será mais um prazer

a vida é sempre uma curiosidade
que me desperta com idade
interessa-me o que está para vir
a vida, em mim é sempre uma certeza
que nasce da minha riqueza
do meu prazer em descobrir

encontrar, renovar vou fugir ou repetir

vou viver
até quando eu não sei
que me importa o que serei
quero é viver,
amanhã, espero sempre um amanhã
e acredito que será mais um prazer

217. Canção do engate - António Variações





Tu estás livre e eu estou livre
e há uma noite para passar
porque não vamos unidos
porque não vamos ficar
na aventura dos sentidos

tu estás só e eu mais só estou
que tu tens o meu olhar
tens a minha mão aberta
à espera de se fechar
nessa tua mão deserta

vem que o amor
não é o tempo
nem é o tempo
que o faz
vem que o amor
é o momento
eu que eu me dou
em que te dás
tu que buscas companhia
e eu que busco quem quiser
ser o fim desta energia
ser um corpo de prazer
ser o fim de mais um dia

tu continuas à espera
do melhor que já não vem
e a esperança fio encontrada
antes de ti por alguém
e eu sou melhor que nada
refrão (3x)

216. Seven nation army - White Stripes



I'm gonna fight 'em off
A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off Taking their time right behind my back
And I'm talking to myself at night because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind behind a cigarette

And the message coming from my eyes it says leave it alone

Don't want to hear about it every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it from the Queen of England to the hounds of hell
And if I catch it coming back my way I'm gonna serve it to you
And that ain't what you want to hear, but that's what I'll do

And the feeling coming from my bones it says find a home

I'm going to Wichita
Far from this opera forever more
I'm gonna work the straw, make the sweat drip out of every pore
And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding right before the Lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me and I will think no more
And the stains coming from my blood tell me go back home

215. Um contra o outro - Deolinda



Anda
Desliga o cabo
Que liga a vida
A esse jogo
Joga comigo
Um jogo novo
Com duas vidas
Um contra o outro

Já não basta esta luta contra o tempo
Este tempo que perdemos a tentar vencer alguém
Ao fim ao cabo
Que é dado como um ganho
Vai-se a ver desperdiçarmos
Sem nada dar a ninguém

Anda
Faz uma pausa
Encosta o carro
Sai da corrida
Larga essa guerra
Que a tua meta
Está deste lado da tua vida

O da medida
Sai do estado invisível
Põe o modo compatível
Com a minha condição
Que a tua vida
É real e repetível
Dá-te mais que o impossível
Se me deres a tua mão

Sai de casa e vem comigo para a rua
Vem, que essa vida que tens
Por mais vidas que tu ganhes
É a tua que mais perde se não vens

2x

Anda
Mostra o que vales
Tu nesse jogo
Vales tão pouco
Troca de vício
Por outro novo
Que o desafio
É corpo a corpo
Escolhe a alma
A estratégia que não falha
O lado forte da batalha
Põe no máximo que der
Dou-te a vantagem
Tu com tudo
E eu sem nada
Que mesmo assim desarmada
Vou-te ensinar a perder

Sai de casa e vem comigo para a rua
Vem, que essa vida que tens
Por mais vidas que tu ganhes
É a tua que mais perde se não vens

214. It's A New Day - will.i.am



I went to sleep last night
Tired from the fight
I've been fighting for tomorrow
All my life
Yea I woke up this morning
Feeling brand new
'Cause the dreams that I've been dreaming
Has finally came true

It's a new day
It's a new day
It's a new day
It's a new day
It's a new day

It's been a long time coming
Up the mountain kept runnin'
Songs of freedom kept hummin'
Channeling Harriet Tubman

Kennedy, Lincoln, and King
We gotta manifest that dream
It feels like I'm swimming upstream
It feels like I'm stuck in between
A rock and a hard place
We've been through the heartaches
And lived through the darkest days

If you and I made it this far
Well then hey, we can make it all the way
And they said no we can't
And we said yes we can
Remember it's you and me together

I woke up this morning
Feeling alright
I've been fightin' for tomorrow
All my life
Yea, I woke up this morning
Feeling brand new
Cause the dreams that I've been dreaming
Has finally came true

It's a new day
(it's a new day)
It's a new day
(it's a new day)
It's a new day
It's a new day

It's been a long time waitin'
Waiting for this moment
Been a long time praying
Praying for this moment

We hope for this moment
And now that we own it
For life I'ma hold it
And I won't let it go

It's for fathers, our brothers
Our friends who fought for freedom
Our sisters, our mothers
Who died for us to be in this moment

Stop and cherish this moment
Stop and cherish this time

It's time for unity
For us and we
That's you and me together

I woke up this morning
Feeling brand new
Cause the dreams that I've been dreaming
Have finally came true
Yea, I woke up this morning
Feeling alright

'Cause we weren't fighting for nothing
And the soldiers weren't fighting for nothing
No, Martin was dreaming for nothing
And Lincoln didn't change it for nothing
And children weren't crying for nothing

It's a new day
It's a new day
It's a new day
A new day
It's a new day
It's a new day
It's a new day

213. Blue skies - Noah and the Whale





This is a song for anyone
With a broken heart
This is a song for anyone
Who can't get out of bed

I'll do anything
To be happy
Oh cause blue skies are calling
But I know that it's hard

This is the last song
That I write
While still in love with you

This is the last song
That I write
While you're even on my mind

Cause it's time to leave
Those feelings behind
Oh cause blue skies are calling
But I know that it's hard

I don't think that it's the end
But I know we can't keep going
I don't think that it's the end
But I know we can't keep going

But blue skies are calling
Oh yeah blue skies are calling
Oh blue skies are calling
But I know that it's hard

212. Walk hard - Dewey Cox



Walk hard, hard
Down life's rocky road
Walk bold, hard
At my creed, my coal

I've been sworn and slandered and ridiculed too
Had to struggle everyday my whole life through
Seen my share of the worse that this world can give
But I still got a dream and a burning rage to live

Walk hard, hard
When they say, "You're all done"
Walk bold, hard
Though they say, "You're not the one"

Even if you've been told time and time again
That you're always gonna lose and you're never gonna win
Gotta keep that vision in your mind's eye
When you're standing on top of a mountain high

You know when I was a boy, folks used to say to me
"Slow down Dewey, don't walk so hard"
And I used to tell them, "Life's a race and I'm in it to win it
And I'll walk as damn hard as I please
How do I walk boys?"

When I meet my maker on my dying day
Gonna look him in the eye and by God I'll say
"I gave my word and my word was good
I took it in the face and I walked as hard as I could"

Walk hard
Walk hard
Walk hard
Walk hard

211. Intuition - Jewel



I'm just a simple girl
In a high-tech digital world
I really try to understand
All the powers that rule this land
They say Ms. J's big butt is boss
Kate Moss can't find a job
In a world of postmodern fad
What was good now is bad
It's not hard to understand
Just follow this simple plan

Follow your heart
Your intuition
It will lead you in the right direction
Let go of your mind
Your intuition
Is easy to find
Just follow your heart, baby

You look at me but you're not quite sure
Am I it, or could you get more?
You learn cool from magazines
You learned love from Charlie Sheen
If you want me, let me know you
I promise I won't say no

Follow your heart
Your intuition
It will lead you in the right direction
Let go of your mind
Your intuition
Is easy to find
Just follow your heart, baby

You've got somethin' that you're wantin' to sell
Sell your sin, just cash in
You've got somethin' that you're wantin' to tell
"You'll love me, wait and see"
If you want me, don't play games
I promise it won't be in vain

Follow your heart
Your intuition
It will lead you in the right direction
Let go of your mind
Your intuition
Is easy to find
Just follow your heart, baby

Follow your heart
Your intuition
It will lead you in the right direction
Let go of your mind
Your intuition
Is easy to find
Just follow your heart, baby

Follow your heart
Your intuition
It will lead you in the right direction
Let go of your mind
Your intuition
Is easy to find
Just follow your heart, baby (repeat 5 times)

210. Steady, as she goes - The Raconteurs



Find yourself a girl, and settle down
Live a simple life in a quiet town

Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
So steady as she goes

Your friends have shown a kink in the single life
You've had too much to think, now you need a wife

Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
So steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
Well here we go again, you've found yourself a friend, that knows you well
But no matter what you do, you'll always feel as though you tripped and fell

So steady as she goes

When you have completed what you thought you had to do
And your blood's depleted to the point of stable glue

Then you'll get along
Then you'll get along

Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
So steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
Well here we go again, you've found yourself a friend that knows you well
But no matter what you do, it always feels as though you tripped and fell
So steady as she goes
Steady as she goes

Settle for a girl and buckle down
Send it to the crowd that's gathered round
Settle for a girl and buckle down
Send it to the crowd that's gathered round

So steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
So steady as she goes (steady as she goes)


Steady as she goes
Are you steady now?
Steady as she goes
Are you steady now?
Steady as she goes
Are you steady now?
Steady as she goes
Are you steady now?
Steady as she goes

209. Like a stone - Audioslave



On a cobweb afternoon
In a room full of emptiness
By a freeway I confess
I was lost in the pages
Of a book full of death
Reading how we'll die alone
And if we're good we'll lay to rest
Anywhere we want to go

In your house I long to be
Room by room patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone
I'll wait for you there
Alone

And on my deathbed I will pray
To the gods and the angels
Like a pagan to anyone
Who will take me to heaven
To a place I recall
I was there so long ago
The sky was bruised
The wine was bled
And there you led me on

In your house I long to be
Room by room patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone
I'll wait for you there
Alone, alone

And on I read
Until the day was gone
And I sat in regret
Of all the things I've done
For all that I've blessed
And all that I've wronged
In dreams until my death
I will wander on

In your house I long to be
Room by room patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone
I'll wait for you there
Alone, alone

208. You could be happy - Snow Patrol



You could be happy and I won't know
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go

And all the things that I wished I had not said
Are played on loops 'till it's madness in my head

Is it too late to remind you how we were
But not our last days of silence, screaming, blur

Most of what I remember makes me sure
I should have stopped you from walking out the door

You could be happy, I hope you are
You made me happier than I'd been by far

Somehow everything I own smells of you
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true

Do the things that you always wanted to
Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do

More than anything I want to see you go
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world

207. Já Não Sou Quem Era - Humanos



Já não sou quem era
Meus sonhos não são iguais
Já não sou quem era
A hora é sincera
E eu sinto que me estou a agitar

Já não fico à espera
Já não fico à espera mais
Já não fico à espera
De ver acender
Essa luz que me quer ofuscar

Já vejo com os meus olhos
Já vejo sem me deslumbrar
Já vejo as limitações
Já vejo com os meus olhos
Já vejo sem enganar
Perdi as ilusões
Conheço as limitações

Já não sou quem era
Meus sonhos não são iguais
Já não sou quem era
A hora é sincera
E eu sinto que me estou a agitar

Já não fico à espera
Já não fico à espera mais
Já não fico à espera
De ver acender
Essa luz que me quer ofuscar

Já vejo com os meus olhos
Já vejo sem me deslumbrar
Já vejo as limitações
Já vejo com os meus olhos
Já vejo sem enganar
Perdi as ilusões
Conheço as limitações

Já não sou quem era
Meus sonhos não são iguais
Já não sou quem era
A hora é sincera
E eu sinto que me estou a agitar

206. The man who sold the world - Nirvana



We passed upon the stair, we spoke in was and when
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
Which came as a surprise, I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago

Oh no, not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With The Man Who Sold The World

I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
I searched for a foreign land, for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazeless stare, we walked a million hills
I must have died alone, a long long time ago

Who knows? Not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With the Man who Sold the World

Who knows? not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the Man who Sold the World
