1222. In the waiting line - Zero 7



Wait in line
'Till your time
Ticking clock
Everyone stop

Everyone's saying different things to me
Different things to me
Everyone's saying different things to me
Different things to me

Whoa
Do you believe
In what you see
There doesn't seem to be anybody else who agrees with me

Do you believe
In what you see
Motionless wheel
Nothing is real
Wasting my time
In the waiting line
Do you believe in
What you see

Nine to five
Living lies
Everyday
Stealing time
Everyone's taking everything they can
Everything they can
Everyone's taking everything they can
Everything they can

Whoa
Do you believe
In what you feel
It doesn't seem to be anybody else who agrees with me

Do you believe
In what you see
Motionless wheel
Nothing is real
Wasting my time
In the waiting line
Do you believe
In what you see

Ah and I'll shout and I'll scream
But I'd rather not have seen
And I'll hide away for another day

Do you believe
In what you see
Motionless wheel
Nothing is real
Wasting my time
In the waiting line
Do you believe
In what you see

Everyone's saying different things to me
Different things to me
Different things to me
Different things to me
Different things to me
Everyone's taking everything they can
Everything they can

1221. Flume - Bon Iver





I am my mother's only one
It's enough

I wear my garment so it shows
Now you know

Only love is all maroon
Gluey feathers on a flume
Sky is womb and she's the moon

I am my mother on the wall, with us all
I move in water, shore to shore
Nothing's more

Only love is all maroon
Lapping lakes like leary loons
Leaving rope burns
Reddish rouge

Only love is all maroon
Gluey feathers on a flume
Sky is womb and she's the moon

1220. Bongo bong - Manu Chao



Mama was queen of the mambo
Papa was king of the Congo
Deep down in the jungle
I start bangin' my first bongo
Every monkey'd like to be
In my place instead of me
Cause I'm the king of bongo, baby
I'm the king of bongo bong

I went to the big town
Where there is a lot of sound
From the jungle to the city
Looking for a bigger crown
So I play my boogie
For the people of big city
But they don't go crazy
When I'm bangin' in my boogie

I'm the (king of the bongo, king of the bongo bong)
Hear me when I come baby
(King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong)

Nobody'd like to be in my place instead of me
Cause nobody go crazy when I'm bangin' on my boogie
I'm a king without a crown hanging loose in a big town
But I'm the king of bongo baby I'm the king of bongo bong
(King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong)
Hear me when I come, baby,
(king of the bongo, king of the bongo bong)

They say that I'm a clown
Making too much dirty sound
They say there is no place for little monkey in this town
Nobody'd like to be in my place instead of me
Cause nobody go crazy when I'm bangin' on my boogie

I'm the (king of the bongo, king of the bongo bong)
Hear me when I come, baby
(King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong)
Hear me when I come

Bangin' on my bongo all that swing belongs to me
I'm so happy there's nobody in my place instead of me
I'm a king without a crown hanging loose in a big town
I'm the king of bongo baby I'm the king of bongo bong
(King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong)
Hear me when I come, baby
(king of the bongo, king of the bongo bong)

1219. Stardust - Hoagy Carmichael



Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely nights dreaming of a song
The melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you

When our love was new
And each kiss an inspiration
Ah but that was long ago
Now my consolation is in the stardust of a song

Beside the garden wall when stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
Of paradise where roses grew

Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain

Sunday 24 December 2017

1218. Flipside - Norah Jones



I tried to get high, but you wanted me low
Good things are happening, but happening slow
It's some kind of mystery from long ago

I finally know who I'm supposed to be
My mind was locked but I found the key
Hope it don't all slip away from me

Hard times, fun lines
Moments pass by and I cry
Rewind, step behind
It's hard to find the flip-side

I can't stand when you tell me to get back
If we're all free, then why does it seem we can't just be?

You saw your reflection all over the news
Your temperature's well past a hundred and two
Put the guns away, or we'll all gonna lose

Stand by, or take flight
Eat or throw your piece pie
Walk on, or be mine
Moments fly by and I cry

I can't stand when you tell me to get back
If we're all free, then why does it seem we can't just be?
I can't stand when you tell me to get back
If we're all free, then why does it seem we can't just be?

1217. You give me something - James Morrison





You only stay with me in the morning
You only hold me when I sleep
I was meant to tread the water
But now I've gotten in too deep

For every piece of me that wants you
Another piece backs away

You give me something
That makes me scared alright
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try
Please give me something
Because someday I might know my heart

You only waited up for hours
Just to spend a little time alone with me
And I can say I've never bought you flowers
I can't work out what they mean

I never thought that I'd love someone
That was someone else's dream

You give me something
That makes me scared alright
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try
Please give me something
Because someday I might call you from my heart

But it might be a second too late
And the words that I could never say
Are gonna come out anyway

You give me something
That makes me scared alright
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try
Please give me something

You give me something
That makes me scared alright
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try
Please give me something
Because someday I might know my heart

Know my heart, know my heart, know my heart

1216. Foram cardos foram prosas - Manuela Moura Guedes





Há luz sem lume aceso
Mas sem amar o calor
À flor de um fogo preso
À luz do meu claro amor

Há madressilvas aos pés
E águas lavam o rosto
Dedos que tens em rés pés
Oh, meu amante deposto

Não foram poemas nem rosas
Que colheste no meu colo
Foram cardos, foram prosas
Arrancadas do meu solo

Porque tu ainda me queres
O amor que ainda fazemos
Dá-me um sinal se puderes
Sejamos amantes supremos

Será sempre a subir
Ao cimo de ti
Só para te sentir

Será no alto de mim
Que um corpo só
Exalta o seu fim

1215. Estou a aprender a ser feliz - Pólo Norte





Andar, nesta estrada, por caminhos incertos
Tão longe e tão perto do que eu quero ser
Cantar, uma balada, de sonhos despertos
De braços abertos para te conhecer

Mas na verdade
Estou aqui pra te sentir
Para te ver a sorrir

Estou a aprender a ser feliz
Aquilo que eu vou ser ninguém me diz
A guitarra que só toca por amor
Não acalma o desejo, nem a dor

Bem vês, companheira, eu parto sozinho
E corro o destino as vezes sem crer
Talvez, também queira, cantar-te baixinho
Dar-te o meu carinho e tudo esquecer

Mas na verdade
Estou aqui pra te sentir
Para te ver a sorrir

Estou a aprender a ser feliz
Aquilo que eu vou ser ninguém me diz
A guitarra que só toca por amor
Não acalma o desejo, nem a dor

1214. There she goes - The La's



there she goes
there she goes again
racing thru' my brain

and i just can't contain
this feelin' that remains

there she blows
there she blows again
pulsing thru' my vein

and i just can't contain
this feelin' that remains

there she goes, there she goes again
she calls my name, pulls my train
no-one else could heal my pain

and i just can't contain
this feelin' that remains

there she goes
there she goes again
chasing down my lane

and i just can't contain
this feelin' that remains

1213. You and whose army? - Radiohead





Come on, come on
You think you drive me crazy
Come on, come on
You and whose army?
You and your cronies
Come on, come on
Holy Roman empire
Come on if you think
Come on if you think
You can take us on
You can take us on

You and whose army?
You and your cronies

You forget so easily
We ride tonight
We ride tonight
Ghost horses
Ghost horses
We ride tonight
We ride tonight
Ghost horses
Ghost horses
Ghost horses

1212. O meu amor foi para o Brasil - Ana Moura



O meu amor foi para o Brasil nesse vapor
Gravou a fumo o seu adeus no azul do céu
Quando chegou ao Rio de Janeiro
Nem uma linha escreveu
Já passou um ano inteiro

Deixou promessa de carta de chamada
Nesta barriga deixou uma semente
A flor nasceu e ficou espigada
Quer saber do pai ausente
E eu não lhe sei dizer nada

Anda perdido no meio das caboclas
Mulheres que não sabem o que é pecado
Os santos delas são mais fortes
do que os meus
Que fazem orelhas moucas
No peditório dos céus
Já deve estar por lá amarrado
Num rosário de búzios
Que o deixou enfeitiçado

O meu amor foi seringueiro no Pará
Foi recoveiro nos sertões do Piauí
Foi funileiro em terras do Maranhão
Alguém me disse que o viu
Num domingo a fazer pão

O meu amor já tem jeitinho brasileiro
Meteu açúcar com canela nas vogais
Já dança o fórró e arrisca no pandeiro
Quem sabe um dia vai
Arriscar outros carnavais

Anda perdido no meio das mulatas
Já deve estar noutros braços derretido
Já sei que os santos delas são milagreiros
Dançam com alegria
No batuque dos terreiros
Mas tenho esperança
Que um dia a saudade
Bata e ele volte para
os meus braços caseiros

Está em São Paulo e trabalha em telecom
Já deve ter Doutor escrito num cartão
À noite samba no Ó-de-Boro-gódó
Esqueceu o solidó
E já não chora a ouvir fado
Não sei que diga ele era tão desengonçado
Se o vir já não o quero
Deve estar um enjoado

1210. It's a sin - Pet Shop Boys



When I look back upon my life
It's always with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin

At school they taught me how to be
So pure in thought and word and deed
They didn't quite succeed
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin

Father, forgive me, I tried not to do it
Turned over a new leaf, then tore right through it
Whatever you taught me, I didn't believe it
Father, you fought me, 'cause I didn't care
And I still don't understand

So I look back upon my life
Forever with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to - it's a sin
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin

(Confiteor Deo omnipotenti vobis fratres, quia peccavi nimis cogitatione,
verbo, opere et omissione, mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa)
[trans. "I confess to almighty god,
and to you my brothers,
that I have sinned exceedingly
in thought, word, act and omission,
through my fault, through my fault,
through my most grievous fault"]

(Zero!)

1209. Close to me - The Cure



I've waited hours for this
I've made myself so sick
I wish I'd stayed asleep today
I never thought that this day would end
I never thought that tonight could ever be
This close to me

Just try to see in the dark
Just try to make it work
To feel the fear before you're here
I make the shapes come much too close
I pull my eyes out
Hold my breath
And wait until I shake

But if I had your faith
Then I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure
That my head on the door was a dream

I've waited hours for this
I've made myself so sick
I wish I'd stayed asleep today
I never thought that this day would end
I never thought that tonight could ever be
This close to me

But if I had your face
I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure
That my head on the door
Was a dream

1208. Friday I'm love - The Cure



I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday, I don't care about you
It's Friday I'm in love

Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart
Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday I'm in love

Saturday wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate

I don't care if Monday's black
Tuesday, Wednesday heart attack
Thursday, never looking back
It's Friday I'm in love

Monday you can hold your head
Tuesday, Wednesday stay in bed
Oh Thursday watch the walls instead
It's Friday I'm in love

Saturday wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate

Dressed up to the eyes
It's a wonderful surprise
To see your shoes and your spirits rise
Throwing out your frown
And just smiling at the sound
And as sleek as a shriek
Spinning round and round
Always take a big bite
It's such a gorgeous sight
To see you eat in the middle of the night
You can never get enough
Enough of this stuff
It's Friday I'm in love

I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's gray and Wednesday too
Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday I'm in love

Mondays you can fall apart
Tuesday Wednesday break my heart
Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday I'm in love

1207. Boys don't cry - The Cure



I would say I'm sorry
If I thought that it would change your mind
But I know that this time
I have said too much
Been too unkind

I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up whit lies
I try and laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes
Because boys don't cry
Boys don't cry

I would break down at your feet
And beg forgiveness
Plead whit you
But I know that it's too late
And now there's nothing I can do
So I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try and laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes
Because boys don't cry
Boys don't cry

I would tell you
That I loved you
If I thought that you would stay
But I know that it's no use
That you've already
Gone away

Misjudged your limit
Pushed you too far
Took you for granted
I thought that you needed me more

Now I would do most anything
To get you back by my side
But I just keep on laughing
Hiding the tears in my eyes
Because boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
Boys don't cry

1206. O homem das castanhas - Carlos do Carmo





Na Praça da Figueira,
ou no Jardim da Estrela,
num fogareiro aceso é que ele arde.
Ao canto do Outono, à esquina do Inverno,
o homem das castanhas é eterno.
Não tem eira nem beira, nem guarida,
e apregoa como um desafio.
É um cartucho pardo a sua vida,
e, se não mata a fome, mata o frio.

Um carro que se empurra,
um chapéu esburacado,
no peito uma castanha que não arde.
Tem a chuva nos olhos e tem o ar cansado
o homem que apregoa ao fim da tarde.
Ao pé dum candeeiro acaba o dia,
voz rouca com o travo da pobreza.
Apregoa pedaços de alegria,
e à noite vai dormir com a tristeza.

Quem quer quentes e boas, quentinhas?
A estalarem cinzentas, na brasa.
Quem quer quentes e boas, quentinhas?
Quem compra leva mais calor p'ra casa.

A mágoa que transporta a miséria ambulante,
passeia na cidade o dia inteiro.
É como se empurrasse o Outono diante;
é como se empurrasse o nevoeiro.
Quem sabe a desventura do seu fado?
Quem olha para o homem das castanhas?
Nunca ninguém pensou que ali ao lado
ardem no fogareiro dores tamanhas.

Quem quer quentes e boas, quentinhas?
A estalarem cinzentas, na brasa.
Quem quer quentes e boas, quentinhas?
Quem compra leva mais amor p'ra casa.

1205. Lisboa que amanhece - Sérgio Godinho





Cansados vão os corpos para casa
Dos ritmos imitados doutra dança
A noite finge ser
Ainda uma criança de olhos na lua
Com a sua
Cegueira da razão e do desejo

A noite é cega, as sombras de Lisboa
São da cidade branca a escura face
Lisboa é mãe solteira
Amou como se fosse a mais indefesa
Princesa
Que as trevas algum dia coroaram

Não sei se dura sempre esse teu beijo
Ou apenas o que resta desta noite
O vento, enfim, parou
Já mal o vejo
Por sobre o Tejo
E já tudo pode ser
Tudo aquilo que parece
Na Lisboa que amanhece


O Tejo que reflecte o dia à solta
æ noite é prisioneiro dos olhares
Ao Cais dos Miradoiros
Vão chegando dos bares os navegantes
Amantes
Das teias que o amor e o fumo tecem

E o Necas que julgou que era cantora
Que as dádivas da noite são eternas
Mal chega a madrugada
Tem que rapar as pernas para que o dia
Não traia
Dietriches que não foram nem Marlénes


Em sonhos, é sabido, não se morre
Aliás essa é a Única vantagem
De após o vão trabalho
O povo ir de viagem ao sono fundo
Fecundo
Em glórias e terrores e aventuras

E ai de quem acorda estremunhado
Espreitando pela fresta a ver se é dia
E as simples ansiedades
Ditam sentenças friamente ao ouvido
Ruído
Que a noite se acostuma e transfigura


Na Lisboa que amanhece

1204. Vanha kaunis mies - Jippu



Hän seisoi sen haudan vierellä
musta hattu kädessä ja
puhuu jäätyneille lehdille lumessa

hän oli palanut kertomaan
että osaa rakastaa
ja ettei saa unta
ilman sua

kaunis,
vanha surullinen mies
lumisia sinivuokkoja
keräsi sun haudalle

kaunis,
vanha surullinen mies
kristallivirran reunalle jätti sydämen

kotona hän toivoi sun palaavan
lämmitti kalakeittoa
näkkileivän pöydälle voiteli
nyt hän istuu ja
odottaa itkien
kotona rakkaitaan tänään odottaa

kaunis,
vanha surullinen mies
lumisia sinivuokkoja
keräsi sun haudalle

kaunis,
vanha surullinen mies
kristallivirran reunalle jätti sydämen

aamulla valkoisen peiton
sängylle levitti ja
pöydän pitsiliinaa silitti

kaunis,
vanha surullinen mies
lumisia sinivuokkoja
keräsi sun haudalle

kaunis,
vanha surullinen mies
kristallivirran reunalle jätti sydämen

1203. Kukkakaupan kulmalla - Jippu



Odotan ratikkaa, yritän unohtaa
Ikävää joka jäI
Muhun asumaan
Muhun asumaan

Ratikan ikkunaan
Kirjoitan sanoja huulipunalla
Suutelen etupenkkiä
Suutelen etupenkkiä

Kaulahuivissa kaulaani
Paleltaa kaupan kassalla
Joku itki taas koiraansa
Sitä kuollutta koiraansa

Ehkä sitten koirien taivaassa
En enää odota
Sulta rakkautta
Sulta rakkautta

Naapurissa mies hakkaa vaimoaan
Havaiji-paidassa näyttää
Liian lihavalta
Lihavalta ja vanhalta

Haluisin sytyttää kotini
Palamaan leivänpaahtimella
Mutta pelkäänkin kuolemaa
Ilman sinua kuolemaa

Tulisitko vastaan kukkakaupan kulmalle
Kun annan mun sydämen takaisin sinulle

Tulisitko vastaan kukkakaupan kulmalle
Kun annan mun sydämen takaisin sinulle

Tulisitko vastaan kukkakaupan kulmalle
Kun annan mun sydämen takaisin sinulle

Odotan ratikkaa, yritän unohtaa
Ikävää joka jäi

1202. E tu gostavas de mim - Ana Moura (Miguel Araújo)





Aviões no céu a mil
Banda larga em Arganil
Argonautas, foguetões
Fogos, factos, e neutrões
Nitro, super, combustão
Consta em Santa Comba Dão
Dão-se destas situações
Milagres e aparições
Dava-se outro caso assim
E tu gostavas de mim

Pode um rebento em Belém
Ser filho mas só da mãe
Multiplicação do pão
Boavista campeão
Automóveis sem motor
Motociclos a vapor
Se não tem divina mão
E acontece tudo em vão
Dava-se outro caso assim
E tu gostavas de mim

Lei e ordem no Brasil
Ciber-espaço em Contumil
Cães em naves espaciais
Micro-chips em cães normais
Micro-sondas em Plutão
Dentro da televisão
Situações paranormais
Para nós mais que banais
Não era pedir demais
E tu gostavas de mim

1201. Leve como uma pena - Ana Bacalhau



E olha ao longe a praia
O bote aguentou
Bom vento sopra forte
Que é pra lá que eu vou

Formosa e segura
Venha quem vier
Finalmente livre
Sem nada a temer

Uns dizem que não posso
Outros que não sou capaz
Se aprovam ou reprovam
A mim tanto faz
Passou a tempestade
O momento chegou
É hora
De mostrar quem eu sou

Até podem rogar-me pragas
Ou lançar-me às feras
Insistirem em encaixar
Onde eu não couber
Já não vou ficar mais de pena
Podem atar meu mundo à perna
Para me ver aos tombos
E apoiar-se nos meus ombros
Que eu sinto-me leve
Leve como uma pena

O medo atrapalha
A ilusão confunde
A obra boquiabre
Aboca meio mundo

E se o que eu for, for feito
E o que eu fizer for meu
Pode não ser perfeito
Mas há de ser eu

Cairam rios de chuva
O vento uivou lá fora
A pouco e pouco o temporal
Foi acalmando agora
Já só falta uma nuvem
Para o sol brilhar
É hora de por isto a andar

Até podem rogar-me pragas
Ou lançar-me às feras
Insistirem em encaixar
Onde eu não couber
Já não vou ficar mais de pena
Podem atar meu mundo à perna
Para me ver aos tombos
E apoiar-se nos meus ombros
Que eu sinto-me leve
Leve como uma pena

Dias e dias
Carregando um fardo
Que afinal não era meu
À procura de uma resposta

E a resposta
A resposta
Pelos vistos
A resposta sou eu

Até podem rogar-me pragas
Ou lançar-me às feras
Insistirem em encaixar
Onde eu não couber
Já não vou ficar mais de pena
Podem atar meu mundo à perna
Para me ver aos tombos
E apoiar-se nos meus ombros
Que eu sinto-me leve
Leve como uma pena

Leve, leve
Olha agora sinto-me leve
Leve, leve, leve
Como uma pena
Leve, leve
Olha agora sinto-me leve
Leve, leve
Leve como uma pena

1200. Let's never stop falling in love - Pink Martini





I wish a falling star could fall forever
And sparkle through the clouds and stormy weather
And in the darkness of the night
The star would shine a glimmering light
And hover above our love

Please hold me close and whisper that you love me
And promise that your dreams are only of me
When you are near, everything's clear
Earth is a beautiful heaven
Always I hope that we follow the star
And be forever floating above

I know a falling star can't fall forever
But let's never stop falling in love

When you are near, everything's clear
Earth is a beautiful heaven
Always I hope that we shine like the star
And be forever floating above

I know a falling star can't fall forever
And let's never stop falling in love
No let's never stop falling in love

1199. Juntos somos mais fortes - Amor Electro



É o amor, correndo o mundo todo, em busca do calor
A noite espera pela hora do nosso esplendor
A luz acesa preparada para os dias de afeição
A mesa posta, a alma aberta
A chamar a multidão, a família em união

Juntos, somos mais fortes
Seremos o céu que abraça o mundo
Juntos, seremos a voz que acende o amor...o amor

Juntos, somos mais fortes
Seremos o céu que abraça o mundo
Juntos, seremos a voz que acende o amor… o amor

1198. Eu gosto é do Verão - Fúria do Acucar



Na Primavera o amor anda no ar.
Na Primavera os bichos andam no ar.
Na Primavera o pólen anda no ar
E eu não consigo parar de espilrar.

No Verão os dias ficam maiores.
No Verão as roupas ficam menores.
No Verão o calor bate recordes
E os corpos libertam seus suores.

Eu gosto é do Verão
De passearmos de prancha na mão.
Saltarmos e rirmos na praia
De nadar e apanhar um escaldão.
E ao fim do dia, bem abraçados
A ver o pôr-do-Sol
Patrocinado por uma bebida qualquer.

No Outono a escola ameaça abrir.
No Outono passo a noite a tossir.
No Outono há folhas sempre a cair
E a chuva faz os prédios ruir.

No Inverno o Natal é baril.
No Inverno ando engripado e febril.
No Inverno é Verão no Brasil
E na Suécia suicidam-se aos mil

E ao fim do dia, bem abraçados
A ver o pôr-do-Sol
Patrocinado por uma bebida qualquer.
Patrocinado por uma bebida qualquer.
Qualquer.

1197. Paixão - Heróis do Mar





Jurei ser eu o teu luar
Brilhar só eu no teu olhar

Paixão, paixão não vais fugir de mim
Serás paixão até ao fim
Paixão, paixão não vais fugir de mim
Serás paixão até ao fim

Oh por favor vá lá sorri
Dou-te esta flor um beijo a ti

Paixão, paixão não vais fugir de mim
Serás paixão até ao fim
Paixão, paixão não vais fugir de mim
Serás paixão até ao fim

Paixão, paixão não vais fugir de mim
Serás paixão até ao fim

Paixão, paixão não vais fugir de mim
Serás paixão até ao fim
Paixão, paixão não vais fugir de mim
Serás paixão até ao fim

1196. Amor - Heróis do Mar



Ai este caminho em flor
Cheio de sol
Perfumado com o nosso amor

Quando a tua mão e a minha
Trocam doçuras
No calor eterno de ternuras

Ó amor não me mataste o desejo
Ó amor com o teu primeiro beijo
Ó amor não me mataste o desejo
Ó amor com o teu primeiro beijo

Quando a tua mão e a minha
Trocam delícias
No calor eterno de carícias

Ó amor não me mataste o desejo
Ó amor com o teu primeiro beijo
Ó amor não me mataste o desejo
Ó amor com o teu primeiro beijo

1195. Dei-te quase tudo - Paulo Gonzo



Foste entrando sem pedires
E marcaste os teus sinais
Tatuaste a minha vida
Ferro e fogo e muito mais
Vasculhaste os meus segredos
E eu deixei
Sem reservas nem pudor...

Invadiste os meus sentidos
O que não fiz por amor
E deixaste a minha vida
Meio perdida
Neste beco sem saída..

Dei-te quase tudo
E quase tudo foi demais
Dei-te quase tudo
Leva agora os teus sinais...(2x)

Obrigaste-me a quebrar
Todas as leis
E deixaste-me ao sabor
Na loucura
Dei-te os dedos e os anéis
E o que tinha de melhor...

Dei-te quase tudo
E quase tudo foi demais
Dei-te quase tudo
Leva agora os teus sinais...(3x)

1194. Canto o fado - Carlos Ramos



Há para o sofrimento
Um bom remédio afinal
É cantar e num momento
Ninguém se lembra do mal
Não custa mesmo nada
Tentem fazer como eu
Uma guitarra afinada
Um voz bem timbrada
E tudo esqueceu

Quando a tristeza me invade
Canto o fado
Se me atormenta a saudade
Canto o fado
Haja ciúme á vontade
Canto o fado
Por uma esperança perdida
Não passe na vida
Por um mau bocado
Se acaso a sorte o esqueceu
É fazer como eu
Deixe andar cante o fado

Não é que não me interesse
Por quem à dor não resiste
Mas há gente que parece
Que gosta até de andar triste
Tem sempre um ar fatal
A que ninguém o obriga
E nesta vida afinal
Vendo bem nada vale
Mais do que uma cantiga

1193. Passear contigo - Broa de Mel



Hoje eu estou feliz por estar contigo
Cedo o Sol começou a brilhar
Hoje até o tempo é nosso amigo
Mas que bom que está p'ra passear.

Passear contigo, amar e ser feliz
O que mais quero da vida
Ter amor e muito amor p' ra dar
Ter amor e muito amor p' ra amar.

Passear contigo, amar e ser feliz
Mas que importa que se diga
Que amar assim é a brincar
Vem Amor, vem passear.

Vem ver como a tarde está linda
E como é tão bom ficarmos sós
Se o dia acabar o amor não finda
Porque há muito amor dentro de nós.

1192. O homem do Ribatejo - António Pinto Basto





O homem do Ribatejo
Tem de sobejo, coisas do céu
A chuva que vem do cimo
O sol a pino e a mão de Deus

Terra que em ondas de mágoa
Faz do campino um valente
O Tejo dá-nos a água
Que quer abraçar a gente

Pega um toiro em Alcochete
Vai cantar a Vila Franca
Monta um baio em Salvaterra de calção e meia branca
Vai à feira a Santarém
Há fandango em Almeirim
Nas adegas do Cartaxo bebe um sonho até ao fim

Irmão da terra e do gado
Cantor de fado, homem de fé
Traz a lezíria no peito
Não perde o jeito de ser quem é

Cresceu nas crinas do Tejo
Sabe brandir quando quer
O aguilhão do desejo
Nos braços de urna mulher

À Senhora do Castelo
Em Coruche, a oração
E na Feira do Cavalo da Golegã, animação
Já passou pela Chamusca
Entrou numa tasquinha
Vai também a Benavente pela festa da sardinha

1191. Take on me - A-ha





We're talking away
I don't know what
I'm to say I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, okay?

Take on me, (take on me)
Take me on, (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two

So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
I'll be stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry

Take on me, (take on me)
Take me on, (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two

Oh the things that you say
Is it live or
Just to play my worries away
You're all the things I've got to remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway

Take on me, (take on me)
Take me on, (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day

(Take on me, take on me)
(Take me on, take on me)
I'll be gone (take on me)
In a day

1190. Cold little heart - Michael Kiwanuka





Did you ever want it?
Did you want bad?
Ohhh, my
It tears me apart
Did you ever fight it?
All of the pain, so much power
Running through my veins
Bleeding, I'm bleeding
My cold little heart
Oh I, I can't stand myself

And I know
In my heart, in this cold heart
I can live or I can die
I believe if I just try
You believe in you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I

Did you ever notice
I've been ashamed
All my life
I've been playing games
We can try and hide it
It's all the same
I've been losing you
One day at a time
Bleeding, I'm bleeding
My cold little heart
Oh I, I can't stand myself

And I know
In my heart, in this cold heart
I can live or I can die
I believe if I just try
You believe in you and I
In my heart, in this cold heart
I can live or I can die
I believe if I just try
You believe in you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I

Maybe this time I can be strong
But since I know who I am
I'm probably wrong
Maybe this time I can go far
But thinking about where I've been
Ain't helping me start

1188. Le premier bonheur du jour - Françoise Hardy







Le premier bonheur du jour
C'est un ruban de soleil
Qui s'enroule sur ta main
Et caresse mon épaule

C'est le souffle de la mer
Et la plage qui attend
C'est l'oiseau qui a chanté
Sur la branche du figuier

Le premier chagrin du jour
C'est la porte qui se ferme
La voiture qui s'en va
Le silence qui s'installe

Mais bien vite tu reviens
Et ma vie reprend son cours
Le dernier bonheur du jour
C'est la lampe qui s'éteint

***************

The first joy of the day
it's a ribbon of sunshine
which wraps around your hand
and caresses my shoulder

It's the breath of the sea
and the beach that waits
It's the bird that sang
on the branch of a fig tree

The first sorrow of the day
It's the door that closes
The car that leaves
The silence that settles

But soon you return
and my life gets back on course
The last joy of the day
Is the lamp that switches off

1187. Sympathique - Pink Martini



Ma chambre a la forme d'une cage
Le soleil passe son bras par la fenêtre
Les chasseurs à ma porte
Comme des petits soldats
Qui veulent me prendre

{Refrain:}
Je ne veux pas travailler
Je ne veux pas déjeuner
Je veux seulement oublier
Et puis je fume

Déjà j'ai connu le parfum de l'amour
Un millions de roses
N'embaumeraient pas autant
Maintenant une seule fleur
Dans mes entourages
Me rend malade

{au Refrain}

Je ne suis pas fière de ça
Vie qui veut me tuer
C'est magnifique
Etre sympathique
Mais je ne le connais jamais

{au Refrain}

Je ne suis pas fière de ça
Vie qui veut me tuer
C'est magnifique
Etre sympathique
Mais je ne le connais jamais

1186. Hang on little tomato - Pink Martini





The sun has left and forgotten me
It's dark, I cannot see
Why does this rain pour down
I'm gonna drown
In a sea
Of deep confusion

Somebody told me, I don't know who
Whenever you are sad and blue
And you're feelin' all alone and left behind
Just take a look inside you and you will find

You gotta hold on, hold on through the night
Hang on, things will be all right
Even when it's dark
And not a bit of sparkling
Sing-song sunshine from above
Spreading rays of sunny love

Just hang on, hang on to the vine
Stay on, soon you'll be divine
If you start to cry, look up to the sky
Something's coming up ahead
To turn your tears to dew instead

And so I hold on to his advice
When change is hard and not so nice
And you listen to your heart the whole night through
Your sunny someday will come one day soon to you

1184. Mosquito song - Queens of the Stone Age



I know, I know the sun is hot
Mosquito's come suck your blood
Leave you there all alone
Just skin and bone

When you walk among the trees
Listening to the leaves
The further I go the less I know
The less I know

Where will you run?
Where will you hide?
Lullabies
To paralyze

Fat and soft, pink and weak
Foot and thigh, tongue and cheek
You know I'm told they swallow you whole
Skin and bone

Cutting boards and hanging hooks
Bloody knives, cooking books
Promising you won't feel a thing
At all

Swallow and chew
Eat you alive
All of us food that hasn't died
And the light says

Somehow they pick and pluck
Tenderize bone to dust
The sweetest grease, finest meat you'll ever taste
Taste, taste
So you scream, whine, and yell
Supple sounds of dinner bells
We all will feed the worms and trees So don't be shy

Swallow and chew
Eat you alive
All of us food that hasn't died

1183. Head like a haunted house - Queens of the Stone Age



Your head's like a haunted house
A tutti frutti written over the caption
Miss diagnosis a-with-a the most-est
Cue the evil smile
Desperation can led to madness
De-de-degradation is a must
The A, B, C's of leprosy

[Chorus 1]
Need a hand? Take mine
We're supreme, sublime
Fake apologize
Fucks in short supply

Too late, too slick, too young
Gag the bag reflex, spoken tongues
Séance, say what?
Say man, don't even think about it
Push the pest-aside
Xanadu's and xanadont's
Edumacate me, copulate me
A dirty trick and it's making me sick (Urgh!)

[Chorus 2]
(You okay?) I'm fine
Let's go! Is my sign
We're supreme, sublime
G-g-g-goddamn crime

[Bridge]
Tonight
I'm gonna put up a fight
I'm gonna get a reaction that I like
Burn the days
I reject your displays
I demand satisfaction or the knife
To trick the light fantastic, one takes wire on the shins
Petty disguises worn like skins, a distinction, nice
Drink the kool-aid and swallow the pill
You say that you don't and you won't, but you will
Busted

Your head's like a haunted house
Peeping at your mumbo jumbo
Outta sight, going bump in the night
Screwacide
With posterior so superior
Ain't in the race for second place
Circumstances in my pants
Is calling for action
Girl, I'll blow your mind
Then you will blow mine
We're supreme, sublime
Goin' for a ride

1182. Get him back - Fiona Apple





One man, he disappoint me
He give me the gouge and take my glee
Now every other man I see
Remind me of the one man who disappointed me

Wait til I get him back!
He won't have a back to scratch
Yeah, keep turning that chin
And you will see my face as I figure how to kill what I cannot catch

So I say and on I go
To another one who disappoint me so

The next one up: a contemptible snob!
He live to put things in their place
He did a commendable job
He put himself so low he can hardly even look me in the face

Wait til I get him back!
He won't have a back to scratch
Yeah, keep turning that chin
And you will see my face as I figure how to kill what I cannot catch

Oh, he make my blood just burn
I flipped so far I thought that I would not return

But the last one I had who was getting my hopes up
I might've been a little fast to dismiss
I think he let me down when he didn't disappoint me
He didn't always guess right but he usually got my gist

So wait til I get him back!
I'm gonna bring him home and I'll watch him unpack
He keep turning that chin
And you will see my face, it's fixed on the one I'm gonna get back

I'm gonna get him back
I am
I'm gonna get him back
I really am
I'm gonna get him back
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII'm gonna-
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII'm gonna-
I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna

1181. Maria - Leonard Bernstein / Stephen Sondheim







The most beautiful sound I ever heard
(Maria, Maria, Maria)
All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word
(Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria
Maria, Maria)
Maria!
I just met a girl named Maria
And suddenly that name
Will never be the same
To me
Maria
I just kissed a girl named Maria
And suddenly I found
How wonderful a sound
Can be
Maria
Say it loud and there's music playing
Say it soft and it's almost like praying
Maria,
I'll never stop saying
Maria
Maria, Maria,
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria
Say it loud and there's music playing
Say it soft and it's almost like praying
Maria
I'll never stop saying
Maria
The most beautiful sound I ever heard
Maria

1180. People - Barbra Streisand





People,
People who need people,
Are the luckiest people in the world
We're children, needing other children
And yet letting a grown-up pride
Hide all the need inside
Acting more like children than children

Lovers, very special people
They're the luckiest people in the world
With one person (one person)
One very special person (one very special person)

A feeling deep in your soul (in your soul)
Says you were half now you're whole
No more hunger and thirst
First be a person who needs people
People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world

No more hunger or thirst
First be a person who needs people (people need people)
People who need people
Are the luckiest (luckiest) people in the world

People who need people in the world
People who need people (send them your love)
Who need people
People who need people in the world (people who need people)
Send them your love (oh those people)
People who need people in the world
(people who need people)
(Send them your love)
(People who need people in the world) people who need people
(Send them your love) people
People who need people in the world
(Send them your love)

1179. Baby it's cold outside - Willie Nelson ft. Norah Jones







I really can't stay
Baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away
Baby it's cold outside
This evening has been
Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice
I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice

My mother will start to worry
Beautiful, what's your hurry?
And my father will be pacing the floor
Just listen to that fireplace roar
Now really I'd better scurry
Sweetheart, what's your hurry?
Well maybe just a half a drink more
Why don't you put some records on while I pour

All the neighbors might think
But baby, it's bad out there
Say, what's in this drink?
No cabs to be had out there
Oh, I wish I knew how
Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell
I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell

I ought to say no, no, no, sir
Mind if I move in closer
At least I'm gonna say that I tried
What's the sense in hurting my pride?
I really can't stay
Baby don't hold out
Oh, but it's cold outside

I simply must go
Baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no
But baby, it's cold out there
Oh, this welcome has been
So lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm
Look out that window at that storm

My sister will be suspicious
Gosh, your lips look delicious
And my brother will be there at the door
Waves upon a tropical shore
Oh, my maiden aunt's mind is vicious
Ooo, baby you're so delicious
Well maybe just one little kiss more
Never such a blizzard before

Oh, I've got to go home
You'll freeze to the bone out there
Say, lend me a comb
It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand
I thrill when you touch my hand
But don't you see?
How can you do this thing to me?

Oh, there's bound to be talk tomorrow
Making my lifelong sorrow
Well at least there will be plenty implied
If you caught pneumonia and died
But I really can't stay
Get over that old out
Baby it's cold outside

Ooo ooo ooo
Hey, I gotta get out of here
Come on, baby
Come on what?
Just give me five minutes more
You sure know how to wear a girl down, don't you?
Okay, okay, okay, okay

1178. Little Lou, Ugly Jack, Prophet John - Belle & Sebastian ft. Norah Jones



[Stuart:]
What a waste, I could've been your lover
What a waste, I could've been your friend
Perfect love is like a blossom that fades so quick
When it's blowing up a storm in May

Travel south until your skin turns warmer
Travel south until your skin turns brown
Put a language in your head and get on a train
And then come back to the one you love

[Norah:]
Yeah you're great, you're just part of this lifetime of dreaming
That extends to the heart of this long summer feeling

Quiet night, you see the tv's glowing
Quiet night, you hear the walls are awake
Being you I'm getting out of a party crowd
Can I see what's underneath your bed?

Can I stay until the milkman's working?
Can I stay until the café awakes?

[Together:]
Do you hate me in the light?
Did you get a fright?
When you looked across from where you lay

Yeah you're great, you're just part of this lifetime of dreaming
That extends to the heart of this long summer feeling
All the history of wars I invent in my head
Little Lou, Ugly Jack, Prophet John
All the history of wars I invent in my head
Little Lou, Ugly Jack, Prophet John

[Stuart:]
What a waste, I could've been your lover

[Norah:]
What a waste, I could've been your friend

1177. Paint It, Black - The Rolling Stones





I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens every day

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door, I must have it painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the settin' sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I wanna see your face, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun flying high in the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah!

1172. Smile - Nat King Cole



Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

1168. I shall be released - Bob Dylan








They say everything can be replaced

Yet every distance is not near

So I remember every face

Of every man who put me here

I see my light come shining

From the west unto the east

Any day now, any day now

I shall be released



They say every man needs protection

They say every man must fall

Yet I swear I see my reflection

Some place so high above this wall

I see my light come shining

From the west unto the east

Any day now, any day now

I shall be released



Standing next to me in this lonely crowd

Is a man who swears he’s not to blame

All day long I hear him shout so loud

Crying out that he was framed

I see my light come shining

From the west unto the east

Any day now, any day now

I shall be released

Thursday 21 September 2017

1167. Easy - Joanna Newsom



Easy
Easy
My man and me
We could rest and remain here
Easily
We are tested and pained by
What's beyond our bed
We're blessed and sustained by
What is not said

No one knows what is coming
Or who will harvest what we have sown
Or how I've been dulling and dulling
In the service of the heart alone

Or how I am warmed to the bone by the river
And in the river, made a life
I'm your little life-giver
I will give my life

Haven't you seen what I've seen
Don't you know what you ought to do
I was born to love
And I intend to love you

Down in the valley where the fields are green
Watch my luck turn fro and to
Pluck every last daisy clean 'til
Only I may love you

I am easy
Easy to keep
Honey, you please me
Even in your sleep

But my arms want to carry
My heart wants to hold
Tell me your worries
I want to be told

Sit and see how the fog from the port in the bay
Lays like snow at the foot of the Roanoke
Hear the frog going courtin'
'Til the day he croaks
Saying even then

How there is light in the river
And there's a river made of light
C'mon, you little life-giver
Give your life

Who asked
Who asked you if you wanna be
Loved by me
Who died and made you
In charge of who loves who
All the livelong day
If I have my way I will love you
But one can't carry the weight
Or change the fate of two
I've been waiting for a break
How long's it gonna take - let me love you

How about it
How about what I have to say
How about that livelong day
How'm I gonna stay here without you

Easy, easy
You must not fear
You must meet me to see me
I am barely here
But like a Bloody Mary
Seen in the mirror
Speak my name
And I appear

Speak my name
And I appear
Speak
And I appear

1166. Sininen - Egotrippi



Kelle täällä minä kerron
sen mikä on salaisuus.
Ollut sitä jo niin kauan,
että tein sille huoneen
tähän sydämeni viereen.

Tiedän miksi sydämeni laulaa
aina niin sinisin sävelin.
Se tahtoo näyttää näin sen
kuinka mun käy, jos en
enää mee eteenpäin.

Jos tahdotte niin kerron,
sen mikä on salaisuus.
Se on kaipuu aina sinne,
mistä vaivoin ensin pääsee pois,
ja minne kuitenkin vain tahtois.

Tiedän miksi sydämeni laulaa
aina niin sinisin sävelin.
Se tahtoo nayttää näin sen
kuinka mun käy, jos en, jos en
enää mee eteenpäin.

Tiedän miksi sydämeni laulaa
aina niin sinisin sävelin.
Näin se näyttää sen kuinka mun käy,
jos en enää mee eteenpäin,
jos ei enää mee eteenpäin.

1165. Love ridden - Fiona Apple



Love ridden, I've looked at you
With the focus I gave to my birthday candles
I've wished on the lidded blue flames
Under your brow
And baby, I wished for you

Nobody sees when you are lying in your bed
And I wanna crawl in with you
But I cry instead
I want your warm, but it will only make
Me colder when it's over,
So I can't tonight, baby

No, not "baby" anymore - if I need you
I'll just use your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on
And in a little while, we'll only have to wave

My hand won't hold you down no more
The path is clear to follow through
I stood too long in the way of the door
And now I'm giving up on you

No, not "baby" anymore - if I need you
I'll just use your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on
And in a little while, we'll only have to wave

No, not "baby" anymore - if I need you
I'll just use your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on
And in a little while, we'll only have to wave

1164. Extraordinary machine - Fiona Apple





I certainly haven't been shopping for any new shoes
-And-
I certainly haven't been spreading myself around
I still only travel by foot and by foot, it's a slow climb,
But I'm good at being uncomfortable, so
I can't stop changing all the time

I notice that my opponent is always on the go
-And-
Won't go slow, so's not to focus, and I notice
He'll hitch a ride with any guide, as long as
They go fast from whence he came
But he's no good at being uncomfortable, so
He can't stop staying exactly the same

If there was a better way to go then it would find me
I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me
Be kind to me, or treat me mean
I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine

I seem to you to seek a new disaster every day
You deem me due to clean my view and be at peace and lay
I mean to prove I mean to move in my own way, and say,
I've been getting along for long before you came into the play

I am the baby of the family, it happens, so
- Everybody cares and wears the sheeps' clothes
While they chaperone
Curious, you looking down your nose at me, while you appease
- Courteous, to try and help - but let me set your
Mind at ease

If there was a better way to go then it would find me
I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me
Be kind to me, or treat me mean
I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine

-Do I so worry you, you need to hurry to my side?
-It's very kind
But it's to no avail; I don't want the bail
I promise you, everything will be just fine

If there was a better way to go then it would find me
I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me
Be kind to me, or treat me mean
I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine

1163. Get gone - Fiona Apple





How many times do I have to say
To get away, get gone?
Flip your shit past another lass's
Humble dwelling
You got your game, made your shot, and you got away
With a lot, but I’m not turned-on
So put away that meat you’re selling

'Cause I do know what’s good for me-
And I’ve done what I could for you
But you’re not benefiting, and yet I’m sitting
Singing again, sing, sing again

How can I deal with this, if he won’t get with this
M'I gonna heal from this; he won’t admit to it
Nothing to figure out; I gotta get him out
It’s time the truth was out that he don’t give a
Shit about me

How many times can it escalate
Till it elevates to a place I can’t breathe?
And I must decide, if you must deride
That I’m much obliged to up and go
I’ll idealize, then realize that it’s no
Sacrifice, because the price is paid, and
There’s nothing left to grieve
Fuckin' go

'Cause I've done what I could for you
And I do know what’s good for me
And I’m not benefiting, instead
I’m sitting singing again, singing again, singing again
Sing, sing, sing again

How can I deal with this, if he won’t get with this?
M'I gonna heal from this; he won’t admit to it
Nothing to figure out; I gotta get him out
It’s time the truth was out that he don’t give a
Shit about me

1162. My wandering days are over - Belle & Sebastian





You know my wandering days are over
Does that mean that I'm getting boring?
You tell me
I'm tired of listening to myself
I'm tired of fixing things for Michael and the rest of them

You know my bip-bopping days are over
I hung my boots up and then retired from the disco floor
The centre of my so called being is
The space between your bed and wardrobe with the louvre doors

You know my celibate days are over
You put me straight on the finer points of my speech rehearsed
In the mirror of my steamy bathroom
Where the lino tells a sorry story in a monologue

Six months on, the winter's gone
The disenchanted pony
Left the town with the circus boy
The circus boy got lonely
It's summer, and it's sister song's
Been written for the lonely
The circus boy is feeling melancholy

It's got to be fate that's doing it
A spooky witch in a sexy dress has been bugging me
With the story of the way it should be
With the story of Sebastian and Belle the singer, yeah

You know my one man band is over
I hit the drum for the final time and I walked away
I saw you in Japanese restaurant
You were doing it for business men on the piano, Belle
You said it was a living Hell
You said you were in Hell

Six months on, the winter's gone
The disenchanted pony
Left the town with the circus boy
The circus boy got lonely
It's summer, and it's sister song's
Been written for the lonely
The circus boy is feeling melancholy

1161. You're just a baby - Belle & Sebastian



You're just a baby, baby girl
So kiss me on the cheek and then go off to school
You're just a baby, baby girl
So kiss me on the cheek before you know what's cool
You will be leaving in the morning
And I won't be there to see you go off your head
You will be working in the morning
And I won't be there to see you go off your head

Refrain:
There must be a reason for all the looks we gave
And all the things we never said before
So what's the score?
'Cause there must be a reason for all the looks we gave
And all the things we never said before, before

You're such a baby, baby girl
So kiss me on the cheek before you know what's sweet
You're just a baby, baby girl
So kiss me on the cheek before you go to sleep
You will be working in the morning
And I won't be there to see you go off your head
Yeah, you will be crying in the morning
And I won't be there to see you go off your head

Refrain

You're such a baby, baby girl
So kiss me on the cheek before you go to sleep
You're such a baby, baby girl
So let go off my hand so we can get some sleep
you will be crying in the morning
And I won't be there to see you go off your head
'Cause you will be married in the morning
And I won't be there to see you go off your head

1160. Expectations - Belle & Sebastian



Monday morning wake up knowing that you've got to go to school
Tell your mum what to expect, she says it's right out of the blue
Do you want to work in Debenham's, because that's what they expect
Start in Lingerie, and Doris is your supervisor

And the head said that you always were a queer one from the start
For careers you say you want to be remembered for your art
Your obsession gets you known throughout the school for being strange
Making life-size models of the Velvet Underground in clay

In the queue for lunch they take the piss, you've got no appetite
And the rumour is you never go with boys and you are tight
So they jab you with a fork, you drop the tray and go berserk
While you're cleaning up the mess the teacher's looking up your skirt

Hey, you've been used
Are you calm? Settle down
Write a song, I'll sing along
Soon you will know that you are sane
You're on top of the world again

Monday morning wake up knowing that you've got to go to school
Tell your mum what to expect, she says it's right out of the blue
Do you want to work in C&A, 'cause that's what they expect
Move to laundry and take a feel off Joe the Storeman

Tell Veronica the secret of the boy you never kissed
She's got everything to gain 'cause she's a fat girl with a lisp
She sticks up for you when you get aggravation from the snobs
'Cause you can't afford a blazer girl you're always wearing clogs

At the interval you lock yourself away inside a room
Head of English gets you, asks you, "What the Hell do you think you're doing?"
"Do you think you're better than the other kids? Well get outside."
You've got permission, but you've got to make the bastard think he's right

Hey, you've been used
Write a song, I'll sing along
Are you calm? Settle down
Soon you will know that you are sane
You're on top of the world again

And you're cool and you know
You're a star and you'll go far
Think of me as a friend
Not just a boy who's playing guitar
You're on top of the world again

1159. Up with people - Lambchop





Yes there comes a booming sound
It used to come from underground
Now it emanates
From a kind of welfare state
Of the soul
Yeah baby of the soul

And of the sweet sweet soul
Let's be certain
Of the deliberate monologue
As sure as if it will fall
Across you
Unto you
Will most certainly leave the doing undone

Come on undone

And we are doing
And we are screwing
Up our lives today
What's that we chanted
It's this we planted
C'mon progeny

1158. Broken box - Queens of the Stone Age





I've got wine & so do you
Mine came with a cork
I wish yours did too

Everyone just loves you so
Well hurray!
Now you know where to go

In my head you're all brand new
I guess you're really all the same
In my head you're all brand new
Tell your new boy where i came
In my head you're all brand new
I just didn't want what you gave
In my head you're all brand new
Go & find yourself another slave

There you are

Ooohh you're so in love, just like Juliet
Well guess what?
That's one thing that you can for-fucking-get

Tears from the sky
In pools of pain
Well baby tonite, i'm gonna go & dance in the rain

In my head you're all brand new
I guess you're really all the same
In my head you're all brand new
Tell your new boy where i came
In my head you're all brand new
Take that broken pussy elsewhere
In my head you're all brand new
Save it baby, i don't care

1157. Villains of circumstance - Queens of the Stone Age





I miss you now, what's come over me?
We're hostages of geography
The wait is long, and heavy too
Despite what you're accustomed to

I know that life moves on, that's what scares me so
Have no intentions of letting go
Only us, no one in the world
Only us, no one in the world

I better do something, move earth and sky
And patiently, sweetly, with all of my mind
I sing only for you
To the beat of my footsteps in the night

Close your eyes and dream me home
Forever mine, I'll be forever yours
Always, evermore, and on and on
Always, evermore, and on and on
Always, evermore, and on and on
Always, evermore

There's no magic bullet, no cure for pain
What's done is done, 'til you do it again
Life in pursuit of a nameless prey
I've been so close, I'm so far away

It's so hard to explain, so easy to feel
I need you now, nothing is real
Save me from the villains of circumstance
Before I lose my place

Close your eyes and dream me home
Forever mine, I'll be forever yours
I'll be forever yours
I'll be forever yours
Always, evermore, and on and on
Always, evermore, and on and on
Always, evermore, and on and on
Always, evermore

1155. Cubism - Local Natives



She flew across the sea
We talked on a small screen
A cubism dream
The most beautiful squares I'd ever seen
The canvas was free
A gift good mother gave to me
We joked at how they talked so differently

I will never know what had rot my heart
It just came and went in the dark
I had changed into the certain kind of man
That could break your heart with his own hands

We were to scan our own towns
And make good on what we found
Oh, what a fool I was to think
That I could get by on a smile and a wink
I make a friend, I make you sick
Could you even imagine a kiss?
We spoke of how we talked so differently
I spoke of how I felt so differently

I will never know what had rot my heart
It just came and went in the dark
I had changed into the certain kind of man
That could break your heart with his own hands

So in australia, on halloween
I proved what our love meant to me
The suffering, the struggling
I did it for you
I did it for me

1154. Domesticated animals - Queens of the Stone Age





Today is the day, bewilderness
Comes to reclaim everything
Burning bridge lights up the sky
Zip your lip until you've picked a side

You get right up then sit back down
The revolution is one spin 'round
You get back up then sit right down
A revolution is one spin 'round

All for one, all for naught
Perish, baby, perish the thought
Beat the kids to the punch
You've got heart, I'll have it for lunch

You get right up then sit back down
The revolution is one spin 'round
You get back up then sit right down
Dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, we all fall down

Tell me, where's the goddamn gold?
Gold

Pretty pets, once were wild
Domesticated love slave, give us a smile
You got a number, is it the same?
Who you belong to?
You feral or tame? (Probably tame)

Tell us where you keep the gold (For what?)
We wanna help you rule the world (I think not)
We won't tell a single soul (So they all say)
So tell us, where's the goddamn gold?

I'll tell you where the gold is
It's in the ground
You wonder where's the reason?
It's in the lost and found

I'll tell you where the gold is
It's in the ground
You wonder where's the freedom?
In the lost and found
Still not found

I'll tell you where the gold is
It's all mine
Mine
Get right up, kneel and bow
Where's your revolution now?

Get back up, sit right down
Tears of gold, drink them down
Get right up, kneel and bow
Shrunken heads parade through town
Tears of gold, drink them down
Dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, we all fall down

1153. 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 in 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, girl
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world

Friday 1 September 2017

1152. Peaceful morning - Hamilton Leithauser



I thought I heard the angels, Lord
When I was on the chapel floor
But I'll never be sure

Those old familiar harmonies
They carried us through New Orleans
In ice water smacking kisses
Sour lemon mouthfuls
Of black hours, seersucker
Powdered sugar moon glow

I know when you're with me
That your spirit's gonna lift me
So I never change directions
And I never ask no questions

Oh, I wish I could hear it
'Cause I still feel the spirit
From the rafters to the ceiling
I'm waiting on that feeling
Oh I know

I know that you're coming
Are you walking or are you running?
And I know when you're with me
That your spirit's gonna lift me

Oh, I know that you're coming
Are you walking or are you running?
And I know when you're with me
That your spirit's gonna lift me

Oh, I know that you're coming
Are you walking or are you running?
But I know you'll be leaving
Yeah, you'll always find a reason

Hey, I know that you're coming
Are you walking or are you running?
I know that you're coming
Are you walking or are you running?

1150. La donna è mobile - Giuseppe Verdi



La donna è mobile
Qual piuma al vento,
Muta d'accento — e di pensier.
Sempre un amabile,
Leggiadro viso,
In pianto o in riso, — è menzognero.
È sempre misero
Chi a lei s'affida,
Chi le confida — mal cauto il cuore!
Pur mai non sentesi
Felice appieno
Chi su quel seno — non liba amore!
La donna è mobile
Qual piuma al vento,
Muta d'accento — e di pensier,
E di pensier,
E di pensier!


Woman is fickle
Like a feather in the wind,
She changes her voice — and her mind.
Always sweet,
Pretty face,
In tears or in laughter, — she is always lying.
Always miserable
Is he who trusts her,
He who confides in her — his unwary heart!
Yet one never feels
Fully happy
Who on that bosom — does not drink love!
Woman is fickle
Like a feather in the wind,
She changes her voice — and her mind,
And her mind,
And her mind!

1149. Toreador - Georges Bizet




Votre toast, je peux vous le rendre,
Señors, señors car avec les soldats
oui, les toréros, peuvent s'entendre;
Pour plaisirs, pour plaisirs,
ils ont les combats !

Le cirque est plein, c'est jour de fête !
Le cirque est plein du haut en bas;
Les spectateurs, perdant la tête,
Les spectateurs s'interpellent
À grand fracas !

Apostrophes, cris et tapage
Poussés jusques à la fureur !
Car c'est la fête du courage !
C'est la fête des gens de cœur !
Allons ! en garde !
Allons ! allons ! Ah !

(Refrain ×2)
|: Toréador, en garde ! Toréador !
Toréador !
Et songe bien, oui,
songe en combattant
Qu'un œil noir te regarde,
Et que l'amour t'attend,
Toréador, l'amour, l'amour t'attend ! :|

Tout d'un coup, on fait silence,
On fait silence… ah ! que se passe-t-il ?
Plus de cris, c'est l'instant !
Plus de cris, c'est l'instant !

Le taureau s'élance
en bondissant hors du toril !
Il s'élance ! Il entre, il frappe !…
un cheval roule,
entraînant un picador,
"Ah ! Bravo ! Toro !" hurle la foule,
le taureau va... il vient...
il vient et frappe encore !

En secouant ses banderilles,
plein de fureur, il court !
Le cirque est plein de sang !
On se sauve… on franchit les grilles !
C'est ton tour maintenant !
Allons ! en garde ! allons ! allons ! Ah !

(Refrain ×2)
|:Toréador, en garde ! Toréador !
Toréador !
Et songe bien, oui, songe en combattant
Qu'un œil noir te regarde,
Et que l'amour t'attend,
Toréador, l'amour, l'amour t'attend ! :|

L'amour ! L'amour ! L'amour !
Toréador, Toréador, Toreador !


***********


Your toast, I can return it to you,
Señores, Señores, because with soldiers
yes, toreros can get along;
For the pleasures, for the pleasure
they fight!

The circus is full, it is a celebrating day!
The circus is full from top to ground;
The crowd goes mad,
the crowd is arguing
with great deal!

Apostrophes, shouts and noises
Push to the breaking point!
Because it is the celebration of courage!
It is the celebration of the braves of heart!
Let's go! On guard! Let's go!
Let's go! Let's go! Ah!

(Chorus ×2)
|:Toreador, on guard! Toreador!
Toreador!
And contemplate well, yes contemplate
as you fight
that a dark eye is watching you,
and that love is waiting for you,
Toreador, love, love is waiting for you! :|

All at once, we are silent,
we are silent,... Oh, what is happening?
No more shouts, this is it!
No more shouts, this is it!

The bull is rushing
while jumping out of its fence!
He is rushing in! He's entering, hitting!
A horse is falling,
Dragging down a picador.
"Ah! Bravo! Toro!" the crowd is calling,
The bull goes on... he comes...
he comes, hitting once more!

While shaking his banderillas ,
full of rage, he runs!...
the circus is full of blood !
We flee... we pass the gates!
It's your turn now!
Let's go! On guard! Let's go! Let's go! Ah!

(Chorus ×2)
|: Toreador, on guard! Toreador!
Toreador!
And think well , yes think as you are fighting
that a dark eye is watching you,
and that love is waiting for you,
Toreador, love, love is waiting for you! :|

Love! Love! Love!
Toreador, Toreador, Toreador!

1148. Habanera - Georges Bizet




[Carmen]
L’amour est un oiseau rebelle
Que nul ne peut apprivoiser,
Et c’est bien in vain qu’on l’appelle
S’il lui convient de refuser.

Rien n’y fait, menace ou prière.
L’un parle bien, l’autre se tait.
Et c’est l’autre que je préfère.
Il n’a rien dit mais il me plait.
[Echoes Choeur]

L’amour! L’amour! L’amour! L’amour!

L’amour est enfant de Bohême,
Il n’a jamais jamais connu de loi.
Si tu ne m’aimes pas, je t’aime;
Si je t’aime, prends garde à toi! (Prends garde à toi!)
[Echoes Choeur]

Si tu ne m’aimes pas, si tu ne m’aimes pas, je t’aime, (Prends garde à toi!)
Mais si je t’aime, si je t’aime, prends garde à toi!

L’oiseau que tu croyais surprendere
Battit d’aile et s’envola.
L’amour est loin, tu peux l’attendre,
Tu ne l’attends pas, il est là!

Tout atour de toi, vite vite,
Il vient, s’en va, puis il revient.
Tu crois le tenir, il t’evite;
Tu crois l’eviter, il te tient.
[Echoes Choeur]

L’amour! L’amour! L’amour! L’amour!

L’amour est enfant de Bohême,
Il n’a jamais jamais connu de loi.
Si tu ne m’aimes pas, je t’aime;
Si je t’aime, prends garde à toi! (Prends garde à toi!)

Si tu ne m’aimes pas, si tu ne m’aimes pas, je t’aime, (Prends garde à toi!)
Mais si je t’aime, si je t’aime, prends garde à toi!


****************

[Carmen]
Love is a rebellious bird
That nobody can tame,
And you can call him, but in vain,
Because it suits him not to come.

Nothing helps, neither threat nor prayer.
One man talks well, the other is silent;
but it's the other that I prefer.
He says nothing, but he pleases me.
[Chorus Echoes]

Oh, love! Love! Love! Love!

Love is a gypsy's child,
It has never known the law.
If you love me not, then I love you;
If I love you, you'd best beware! (You'd best beware!)
[Chorus Echoes]

If you love me not, if you love me not, then I love you; (You'd best beware!)
But if I love you, if I love you, you'd best beware!

The bird you hoped to catch
Beat its wings and flew away.
Love stays away, you wait and wait,
When least expected, there it is!

All around you, quickly quickly,
It comes and goes, and then returns.
You think you hold it, it avoids you;
You think to avoid it, it holds you.
[Chorus Echoes]

Oh, love! Love! Love! Love!

Love is a gypsy's child,
It has never known the law.
If you love me not, then I love you;
If I love you, you'd best beware! (You'd best beware!)

If you love me not, if you love me not, then I love you; (You'd best beware!)
but if I love you, if I love you, you'd best beware!

1146. Satellite - Aimee Mann



Let's assume you were right
and play the game of charm and strange
and satellite
and when we've all had our fun
deflate the stars
and put away the sun
and so we can call it a day

Cause I'll never prove that my motives were pure
so let's remove any question of cure
cause even though you've made it pretty obscure
baby, it's clear, from here--
you're losing your atmosphere
from here, you're losing it

So let's assume it was true
cause baby can't lift up a hand to swear to you
and what's the use of defense?
the hangers-on are too far gone for evidence
and that one was lost from the first

Cause I'll never prove that my motives were pure
so let's remove any question of cure
cause even though you've made it pretty obscure
baby, it's clear, from here--
you're losing your atmosphere
from here, you're losing it

So have it your way
whatever makes the best resume
whatever you can throw in
wash, rinse and spin til it's
spun away--okay
but I won't be sticking around

Cause I'll never prove that my motives were pure
so let's remove any question of cure
cause even though you've made it pretty obscure
baby, it's clear, from here--
you're losing your atmosphere
from here, you're losing it

1145. Signs of life - Arcade Fire



Those cool kids
Stuck in the past
Apartments of cigarette ash
Wait outside until it begins
Won't be the first ones in
Spend your life waiting in line
You find it hard to define
But you do it every time
Then you do it again

[Chorus]
Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again
Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again

[Verse 2]
First kiss tastes like cigarettes
Dead man walking take your bets
Once again you lost your friends
Around and around again
Those cool kids
Stuck in the past
Apartments of cigarette ash
"Where are we going?"
Who did you ask?
Those cool kids
Stuck in the past
In a world of cigarette ash
"Where are we going?"
Who did you ask?
Who did you ask?

[Chorus]
Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again
Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again

[Verse 3]
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
Friday, Saturday, sometimes Sunday
Love is hard, sex is easy
God in Heaven, could you please me?
You think you invented life
You find it hard to define
But you do it every time
Then you do it again

[Chorus]
Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again
Still looking for signs of life (Looking for signs of life)
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again

Those cool kids
Stuck in the past
In a world of cigarette ash
"Where are we going?"
Who did you ask?
Who did you ask?

[Chorus]
Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again
Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again

[Bridge]
(Still looking)
Looking for signs of life
(Signs of life)
Still looking for signs of life
(Signs of life)

[Chorus]
Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again
Looking for signs of life
Looking for signs every night
But there's no signs of life
So we do it again
