    strawberry gashes


    Turn her over
    A candle is lit, I see through her
    Blow it out and save all her ashes for me

    Curse me sold her
    The poison that runs it's course through her
    Pale white skin with strawberry gashes all over all over

    Watch me fault her
    You're living like a disaster
    She said kill me faster
    with strawberry gashes all over

    Called her over
    and asked her if she was improving
    She said "feels fine" it's wonderful wonderful here

    Hex me told her
    I dreamt of a devil that knew her
    Pale white skin with strawberry gashes all over all over

    Watch me fault her
    You're living like a disaster
    She said kill me faster
    with strawberry gashes all over

    I lay quiet
    waiting for her voice to say
    "Some things you lose and some things you just give away"

    Scold me failed her
    If only I'd held on tighter to her
    Pale white skin that twisted and withered away from me away from me

    Watch me lose her
    It's almost like losing myself
    Give her my soul
    and let them take somebody else get away from me

    Watch me fault her
    You're living like a disaster
    She said kill me faster
    with strawberry gashes all over all over me

    HAX Energy Soda....

    you only WISH you were aweome enough to drink it.

    The Circle Game: Joni Mitchell

    Yesterday a child came out to wonder
    Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
    Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
    And tearful at the falling of a star
    Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
    Skated over ten clear frozen streams
    Words like, when youre older, must appease him
    And promises of someday make his dreams
    And the seasons they go round and round
    And the painted ponies go up and dawn
    Were captive on the carousel of time
    We cant return we con only look behind
    From where we came
    And go round and round and round
    In the circle game.

    Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
    Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town
    And they tell him,
    Take your time, it wont be long now
    Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down
    And the seasons they go round and round
    And the painted ponies go up and dawn
    Were captive on the carousel of time
    We cant return we can only look behind
    From where we came
    And go round and round and round
    In the circle game

    So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
    Though his dreams have lost some grandeur
    Coming true
    Therell be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty
    Before the last revolving year is through.
    And the seasons they go round and round
    And the painted ponies go up and down
    Were captive on the carousel of time
    We cant return, we can only look behind
    From where we came
    And go round and round and round
    In the circle game
    Naked except for a cigarette, you let your mind drift and forget your disbelief. Feel the chill down your back and the flutter of wings through dandelion fields, and forget the pull of gravity in a night without stars.

    I lack eloquence and commitment to my arguments. They are half baked, and I will begin passionately, and then abandon them.

    Drunk on the Moon: Tom Waits

    Tight-slacked clad girls on the graveyard shift
    neath the cement stroll
    Catch the midnight drift
    Cigar chewing charlie
    In that newspaper nest
    Grifting hot horse tips
    On whos running the best

    And Im blinded by the neon
    Dont try and change my tune
    cause I thought I heard a saxophone
    Im drunk on the moon

    And the moons a silver slipper
    Its pouring champagne stars
    Broadways like a serpent
    Pulling shiny top-down cars
    Laramer is teeming
    With that undulating beat
    And some bonneville is screaming
    Its way wilder down the street

    (chorus)

    Hearts flutter and race
    The moons on the wane
    Tarts mutter their dream hopes
    The night will ordain
    Come schemers and dancers
    Cherry delight
    As a cleveland-bound greyhound
    And it cuts throught the night

    And Ive hocked all my yesterdays
    Dont try and change my tune
    cause I thought I heard a saxophone
    Im drunk on the moon

    I'm losing all those stupid games
    That I swore I'd never play

    Plea from a Cat Named Virtute- The Weakerthans

    Why don't you ever wanna play?
    I'm tired of this piece of string.
    You sleep as much as I do now,
    and you don't eat much of anything.
    I don't know who you're talking to,
    I made a search through every room,
    but all I found was dust that moved
    in shadows of the afternoon

    And listen, about those bitter songs you sing;
    they're not helping anything,
    they won't make you strong.

    So we should open up the house,
    invite the Tabby two doors down.
    You could ask your sister if,
    she doesn't bring her basset hound.
    Ask the things you shouldn't miss:
    tape hiss and the modern man,
    cold war and card catalogues
    to come join us if they can.

    Girly drinks and parlor games,
    we'll pass around the easy lie
    of absolutely no regrets,
    and later maybe you could try.
    To let your losses dangle off,
    the sharp edge of a century.
    We'll talk about the weather,
    or how the weather use to be.

    And I'll cater, with all the birds that I can kill,
    let their tiny feathers fill disappointment.
    Lie down, and lick the sorrow from your skin
    Scratch the terror and begin to believe you're strong.

    All you ever want to do is drink and watch TV,
    frankly that thing doesn't really interest me.
    I swear I'm going to bite you hard and taste your tinny blood
    if you don't stop the self-defeating lies you've been repeating
    since the day you brought me home.
    I know you're strong.
    I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
    Waiting for a winter to be done.
    Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
    In all that I could never overcome?

    Nice choice classic



    Some New Town - Slobberbone
    Got in your car, you never turned around
    And I hope you're happy in your new town
    And I hope you live where nothing goes wrong
    And the bars stay open all night long

    Hope you live where everyone's happy, and I
    Hope you live where nothing gets crappy, and I
    Hope the sidewalks and the streets are clean, and I
    Hope you've got good weather and everything, this is

    Just a phone call from the place you once lived
    Where we're still waiting for the sleet and rain to give
    It's just a line from you're old town
    Where we're still drinking to the times when you were around

    Days were we gave you good times and more
    Enough for you to break down and call this town yours, you gave us
    Remedies for everything ****ty
    Back when girls were pretty, yeah this is

    Just a letter from this house you once blessed
    Where I'm still waiting for the forwarding address
    Just a note from the past we once shared
    Where I'm still waiting on a present from the future to get me there

    I know your new town is so far away
    That I could maybe come and visit but could never stay
    It's just me calling from a town so far
    And I'm still waiting on directions to wherever you are

    Times were I wouldn't hold your arm
    For fear of letting go of the other one
    Fears I had to kiss you
    With my eyes closed I might miss you if you
    Looked at me in some way I hadn't seen, if you
    Took my words in some way I didn't mean
    If your smile showed signs of some inner frown
    Of thoughts of packing up and moving on to some new town
    There once was a scotsman named Drew
    Who put too much wine in his stew
    He felt a bit drunk
    And fell off his bunk
    And landed smack into his shoe

    Not my favourite lyrics but I keep singing this today

    See the stone set in your eyes
    See the thorn twist in your side
    I wait for you

    Sleight of hand and twist of fate
    On a bed of nails she makes me wait
    And I wait with without you

    that's all i know
    We can never know what to want, because living only one life we can neither compare it with our previous lives, nor perfect it in our lives to come'
    Milan Kundera,The Unbearable Lightness of Being


    Parce que c'est toi, parce que c'est moi

    this is a recent favorite of mine. from their new album, which is remarkably still available on their website for free..

    nine inch nails - lights in the sky

    She's mostly gone
    Some other place
    I'm getting by
    In other ways
    Everything they whispered in our ear
    Is coming true
    Try to justify the things
    I used to do
    Believe in you

    Watching you drown
    I'll follow you down
    And I am here right beside you
    The lights in the sky
    Have finally arrived
    I am staying right beside you

    I tried to stay away
    You know
    Just in case
    I've come to realize
    We all have our place
    Time has a way, you know
    To make it clear
    I have my role in this
    I can't disappear
    Or leave you here

    Watching you drown
    I'll follow you down
    And I am here right beside you
    The lights in the sky
    Are waving goodbye
    I am staying right beside you
    I'm losing all those stupid games
    That I swore I'd never play

    A New Day Has Come

    A new day has come
    A new day has come

    I was waiting for so long
    For a miracle to come
    Everyone told me to be strong
    Hold on and don't shed a tear

    Through the darkness and good times
    I knew I'd make it through
    And the world thought I had it all
    But I was waiting for you

    Hush, love

    I see a light in the sky
    Oh, it's almost blinding me
    I can't believe
    I've been touched by an angel with love

    Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
    Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
    Let it shatter the walls for a new, new son

    A new day has come
    A new day has come

    Where it was dark now there's light
    Where there was pain now there's joy
    Where there was weakness, I found my strength
    Oh, in the eyes of a boy

    Hush, love

    I see a light in the sky
    Oh, it's almost blinding me
    I can't believe
    I've been touched by an angel with love

    Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
    Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
    Let it shatter the walls for a new, new son

    A new day has come

    Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
    Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
    Let it shatter the walls for a new, new son

    A new day has come

    Ohhh, a light

    Hush, now

    I see a light in your eyes
    Oh, in the eyes of the boy

    I can't believe
    I've been touched by an angel with love

    I can't believe
    I've been touched by an angel with love

    Hush, now

    Hush, now
    "He is asleep. Though his mettle was sorely tried,
    He lived, and when he lost his angel, died.
    It happened calmly, on its own,
    The way the night comes when day is done."

    Eliza Gilkyson - TWISTED

    I like the way the dark hangs off you
    Like a cloud around the sun
    The way nobody’s bought your heart
    The one on one
    You’re so beautiful
    You don’t give a damn
    You’re everything I’ve wanted in a man

    I like your clever boy disguises
    Your shady little grins
    When you walk the ragged edges
    Of the outside looking in
    You’re an exotica
    You’re in demand
    You’re everything I’ve wanted in a man

    I’m f*cked up, so twisted
    You’re everything I’ve wanted in a man

    I like the carnivore impression
    That you leave under my skin
    The secret we don’t mention
    Though it’s closin in
    You’ll never show your cards
    Or fold your hand
    You’re everything I’ve wanted in a man

    I’m f*cked up, so twisted
    You’re everything I’ve wanted in a man
    (repeated 3 times)

    from a song that i really like, i am too bored to write all the lyrics, i'll just give you a taste of it from the chorus:
    snow patrol- set the fire to the third bar


    i' m miles from where you are
    i lay down on the cold ground
    then i, i pray
    that something picks me up, and,
    sets me down in your warm arms.
    love is like a flower; it needs warmth and light as well as some space and care in order to grow. if you take care of it it grows and blossoms and you can taste its scent and touch its velvet surface and look at its bright colours. if you don't, it dies. and of course a flower has no meaning either if you don't give it to someone or have it growing next to another one. flowers are delicate. and so is love.

    It won't help much ... But lets try.

    Mesmo que cantores sejam falsos como eu serão bonitas,
    Even though the singers may be fake as I am they will be pretty
    não importa são bonitas as canções
    it doesn't matter, pretty'll be the songs
    Mesmo miseráveis os poetas os seus versos serão bons
    Even though being miserable the poets, their lines will be pretty fine
    Mesmo porque as notas eram surdas, quando um deus sonso e ladrão
    Even though the notes were "soundless things" when a mischievous and treacherous god
    fez das tripas a primeira lira que animou todos os sons
    made out from his limbs the first harp that gave all sounds their very life
    E daí nasceram as baladas e os arroubos de bandidos como eu
    cantando assim
    And from this there came out all the singings and the many scoundrel characters like me
    singing songs like this

    "Você nasceu pra mim"
    "você nasceu pra mim"
    "You were born to be mine"
    "you were born to be mine"


    Mesmo que você feche os ouvidos e as janelas do vestido
    Even though you close your ears and hide of your dress all the windows
    minha musa vai cair em tentação
    it doesn't matter, my muse will fall, will fall for you
    Mesmo porque estou falando grego com sua imaginação
    Even though my tongue to your imagination Greek speaks and whispers
    Mesmo que você fuja de mim por labirintos e alçapões
    Even though you run from me through deep hollows, dungeons and labirynths
    saiba que os poetas, como os cegos, podem ver na escuridão
    know you that the poets, like the blindmen are able to see in the dark deep
    E eis que menos sábios do que antes os seus lábios ofegantes hão
    de se entregar assim
    And alas that less wise then before you panting lips will therefore
    surrender to plea from me this

    "Me leve até o fim"
    "me leve até o fim"
    "Take me to the last breath"
    "do take me to the last breath"


    Mesmo que os romances sejam falsos como o nosso são bonitas
    Even though the romances may be fake as ours is they'll be pretty
    não importa são bonitas as canções
    it doesn't matter, really pretty'll be the songs
    Mesmo sendo errados os amantes / seus amores
    serão bons
    Even being wrong the lovers even so/ pretty will their afairs
    be



    (I ... made quite a free translation. Tough thing, to translate Portuguese into English! The opposite is far easier!)
