523. Because - The Beatles





Because the world is round it turns me on
Because the world is round...aaaaaahhhhhh

Because the wind is high it blows my mind
Because the wind is high......aaaaaaaahhhh

Love is old, love is new
Love is all, love is you

Because the sky is blue, it makes me cry
Because the sky is blue.......aaaaaaaahhhh

Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh....

522. The cigarette duet - Princess Chelsea



It's just a cigarette & it cannot be that bad
Honey don't you love me and you know it makes me sad?
It's just a cigarette like you always used to do
I was different then, I don't need them to be cool

It's just a cigarette and it harms your pretty lungs
Well it's only twice a week so there's not much of a chance
It's just a cigarette it'll soon be only ten
Honey can't you trust me when I want to stop I can

It's just a cigarette and it's just a Malboro Light
Maybe but is it worth it if we fight?
It's just a cigarette that I got from Jamie-Lee
She's gonna get a smack and I'm gonna give you three

It's just a cigarette and I only did it once
it's only twice a week so there's not much of a chance
It's just a cigarette and I'm sorry that I did it
Honey can't you trust me when I want to stop I can

521. Marathon - Tennis



Coconut Grove
Is a very small cove
separated from the sea
by a shifting shoal
we didn't realize that
we had arrived
at high tide, high tide
barely made it out alive

red over white
fishermen working at night
not even once
did we see a light
we didn't realize
the forecast had been revised
by moonless skies and
shifty wind that gusts and dies

on the sand our keel is heaving
but tonight we've got to be leaving
travel through the day and into the evening

Marathon how long we've been gone
and still not yet set foot upon you

your low lying shore opens welcomingly
to one who's spent the night at sea
Adrift in the shallows, a modest repose
adorn with coral, your bright colors show
ushered in through a bridge that is never closed.

520. Handbags & the gladrags - Rod Stewart





Ever seen a blind man cross the road
Trying to make the other side?
Ever seen a young girl growing old
Trying to make herself a bride?

So what becomes of you my love
When they have finally stripped you of
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you

Once I was a young man
And all I thought I had to do was smile
Well you are still a young girl
And you've bought everything in style

So once you think you're in you're out
'Cause you don't mean a single thing without
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you

Sing a song of six-pence for your sake
And drink a bottle full of rye
Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake
And bake 'em all in a pie

They told me you missed school today
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy

They told me you missed school today
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you

519. Angel in the snow - Elliott Smith



I'd say you make a perfect
angel in the snow
all crushed out on the way you are
better stop before it goes too far
don't you know that i love you
sometimes i feel like only a cold still life
that fell down here to lay beside you

don't you know that i love you
sometimes i feel like only a cold still life
only a frozen still life
that fell down here to lay beside you

518. A pele que há em mim - Márcia



Quando o dia entardeceu
E o teu corpo tocou
Num recanto do meu
Uma dança acordou
E o sol apareceu
De gigante ficou
Num instante apagou
O sereno do céu

E a calma a aguardar lugar em mim
O desejo a contar segundo o fim.
Foi num ar que te deu
E o teu canto mudou
E o teu corpo do meu
Uma trança arrancou
O sangue arrefeceu
E o meu pé aterrou
Minha voz sussurrou
O meu sonho morreu

Dá-me o mar, o meu rio, minha calçada.
Dá-me o quarto vazio da minha casa
Vou deixar-te no fio da tua fala.
Sobre a pele que há em mim
Tu não sabes nada.

Quando o amor se acabou
e o meu corpo esqueceu
o caminho onde andou
nos recantos do teu
e o luar se apagou
e a noite emudeceu
o frio fundo do céu
foi descendo e ficou

Mas a mágoa não mora mais em mim
Já passou, desgastei, para lá do fim
É preciso partir,
É o preço do amor
Para voltar a viver
Já nem sinto o sabor
A suor e pavor
Do teu colo a ferver
Do teu sangue de flor
Já não quero saber

Dá-me o mar, o meu rio, a minha estrada
O meu barco vazio na madrugada
Vou deixar-te no frio da tua fala.
Na vertigem da voz quando enfim se cala.

517. Não venhas tarde - Carlos Ramos



Não venhas tarde!,
Dizes-me tu com carinho,
Sem nunca fazer alarde
Do que me pedes, baixinho.

Não venhas tarde!,
E eu peço a deus que no fim
Teu coração ainda guarde
Um pouco de amor por mim.

Tu sabes bem
Que eu vou p'ra outra mulher,
Que ela me prende também,
Que eu só faço o que ela quer,
Tu estás sentindo
Que te minto e sou cobarde,
Mas sabes dizer, sorrindo,
Meu amor, não venhas tarde!

Não venhas tarde!,
Dizes-me sem azedume,
Quando o teu coração arde
Na fogueira do ciúme.

Não venhas tarde!,
Dizes-me tu da janela,
E eu venho sempre mais tarde,
Porque não sei fugir dela

Tu sabes bem
Que eu vou p'ra outra mulher,
Que ela me prende também,
Que eu só faço o que ela quer,

Sem alegria,
Eu confesso, tenho medo,
Que tu me digas um dia,
Meu amor, não venhas cedo!

Por ironia,
Pois nunca sei onde vais,
Que eu chegue cedo algum dia,
E seja tarde demais!
