372. Space Girl - The Imagined Village



My mama told me I should never venture into space,
But I did, I did, I did,
She said no terran girl could trust the martian race,
But I did, I did, I did.

A rocket pilot asked me on a voyage to go,
And I was so romantic, I couldn't say no
That he was just a servo robot how was I to know?
So I did, I did, I did.
She told me never venture out among the asteroids
But I did, I did, I did.
She said the Milky Way was something to avoid
So I did, I did, I did.
She said that Venus was too hot and Saturn not much fun
And bug-eyed monsters tended to be just a trifle dumb.
She said I'd need a blaster and I'd need a freezer gun
And I did, I did, I did.

My mama told me never trust a space engineer
But I did, I did, I did.
She said freefall and superdrive would surely cost me dear
And they did, they did, they did.
I've been as far in hyperspace as anybody can,
I've travelled through the time warp in the Psycho Plan.
They say a gal must travel for to find her superman
And I did, I did, I did.

371. Lado de lá - Cavalheiro






Dizes-me bem baixinho
"Isto assim já não vai dar"
Puxas-me com carinho
Mas estou do lado de lá

Que barreira invísivel
que distância impossível
mas que eterno Dezembro
o que era bom já nem me lembro

Tanto nós nos esforçamos
Tanto no fim nós falhamos
Tanto juntos construímos
Tanto agora destruímos

Mas que beco sem saída
este fim nesta corrida
mas que pesada herança
para quem já tem tão pouca esperança

Vamos começar a acabar
Vamos sentir tudo a parar
Seria tão bom que não fosse assim
Seria tão bom adiar o fim

370. In the morning of the magicians - The Flaming Lips



In the morning I'd awake and I couldn't remember
What is love and what is hate? - the calculations error
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-what is love and what is hate?
And why does it matter? - Is to love just a waste?
How can it matter? Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh; oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.

As the dawn began to break - I had to surrender
The universe will have its way - too powerful to master
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-what is love and what is hate?
And why does it matter? - Is to love just a waste?
how can it matter? Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.

369. Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard - Paul Simon



The mama pajama rolled outta bed, and she ran to the police station
When the papa found out, he began to shout, and he started the investigation
It's against the law, it was against the law
What the mama saw, it was against the law

The mama looked down and spit on the ground every time my name gets mentioned
The papa said oy, if I get that boy
I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention
Well I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm goin'
I'm on my way, I'm takin' my time, but I don't know where

Goodbye to Rosie, the queen of Corona
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard

[Instrumental break]

In a couple of days they're gonna take me away
But the press let the story leak
When the radical priest come to get me released
We was all on the cover of Newsweek
And I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm goin'
I'm on my way, I'm takin' my time, but I don't know where

Goodbye to Rosie, the queen of Corona
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard

368. Keep me in my plane - WhoMadeWho



Watch a movie I've seen five times before
Fall asleep with my head
on the emergency door

Food tastes good at 50,000 feet...
Red wine and cognac
make me feel complete

make me feel safe ( x 2 )
keep me in my place

There's snow and ice on Greenland below
One more place
I would like to go

make me feel safe ( x 2 )
keep me in my place

Watch a movie I've seen five times before
Fall asleep with my head
on the emergency door

make me feel safe ( x 2 )
keep me in my place

367. Chicago - Sufjan Stevens



I fell in love again
all things go, all things go
drove to Chicago
all things know, all things know
we sold our clothes to the state
I don't mind, I don't mind
I made a lot of mistakes
in my mind, in my mind

you came to take us
all things go, all things go
to recreate us
all things grow, all things grow
we had our mindset
all things know, all things know
you had to find it
all things go, all things go

I drove to New York
in the van, with my friend
we slept in parking lots
I don't mind, I don't mind
I was in love with the place
in my mind, in my mind
I made a lot of mistakes
in my mind, in my mind

you came to take us
all things go, all things go
to recreate us
all things grow, all things grow
we had our mindset
all things know, all things know
you had to find it
all things go, all things go

if I was crying
in the van, with my friend
it was for freedom
from myself and from the land
I made a lot of mistakes
I made a lot of mistakes
I made a lot of mistakes
I made a lot of mistakes

you came to take us
all things go, all things go
to recreate us
all things grow, all things grow
we had our mindset
all things know, all things know
you had to find it
all things go, all things go

you came to take us
all things go, all things go
to recreate us
all things grow, all things grow
we had our mindset
(I made a lot of mistakes)
all things know, all things know
(I made a lot of mistakes)
you had to find it
(I made a lot of mistakes)
all things go, all things go
(I made a lot of mistakes)

366. Sweet Elaine - Josh Rouse

After a 365 song therapy, life continues. With new music. New discoveries.
Still, the passion is the same. For good lyrics and good sounds.




Good things come to those who wait,
I work so hard, for you,
Please help me see this through,
My sweet Elaine

Sweet Elaine
Here we go again,
Making new arrangements
A wedding with some strangers,
It's a fantasy

Drink the rain,
Before the weather changes,
New years and new faces,
Lost of celebrations,
For no reason.

Holding on to something real,
Holding on to love's embrace,
Good things come to those who wait,
My sweet Elaine.

Why slow down?
We've always moved around,
Strangers and acquaintances,
This conversations crazy,
What am I to do?

Sweet Elaine,
Help me to ease this pain.
'fore the book starts over,
I found a four leaf clover,
On your front step.

Holding on to something real,
Holding on to love's embrace,
Good things come to those who wait,
I work so hard, for you,
Please help me see this through,
Oh my sweet Elaine.

Holding on to something real,
Holding on to love's embrace,
Good things come to those who wait,
I was never one to stay,
But I'm holding on
I'm holding on,
I'm holding on,
I work so hard for you,
Please help me see this through,
Please help me see this through,
Oh my sweet Elaine.
