"Desperado"


Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
But I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Can hurt you somehow

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of hearts is always your
best bet

Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get

Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you
home
And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some
people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're losin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you
(let sombody love you)
You better let somebody love you
before it's too late

Someday, you'll gonna realize
One day, you'll see this through my eyes
But then I won't even be there
I'll be happy somewhere
Even if I cared

I know you don't really see my worth
You think you're the last guy on earth
Well, I've got news for you
I know I'm not that strong
But it won't take long, won't take long

CHORUS
'Cause someday, someone's gonna love me
The way I wanted you to need me
Someday, someone's gonna take your place
One day, I'll forget about you
You'll see, I won't even miss you
Someday, someday

But now, I know you can tell
I'm down and I'm not doin' well
But one day, these tears
They will all run dry
I won't have to cry sweet goodbye

CHORUS
'Cause someday, someone's gonna love me
The way I wanted you to need me
Someday, someone's gonna take your place, Ooh
One day, I'll forget about you
You'll see, I won't even miss you
Someday, I know someone's gonna be there

Someday, someone's gonna love me
The way I wanted you to need me
Someday, someone's gonna take your place
One day, I'll forget about you
You'll see, I won't even miss you
Someday, someday

:sick:

I'm really loving this song right now, though it makes me cry.

Radios in Heaven ~ Plain White T's

Your time has already come and I don't know why
The last thing that I had heard
you were doin' just fine
It seems like just yesterday
I was laughing with you
Playing games at Grandma's house
well you taught me well, didn't you?
I hope I'm just like you

Do they have radios in heaven?
I hope they do
'Cause they're playing my song on the radio
And I'm singing it to you

You left before I had a chance to say goodbye
But that's the way life usually is
it just passes you by
But you can't hold on to regrets and you can't look back
So I'll just be thankful for the times that I had with you
I hope I'm just like you

Do they have radios in heaven?
I hope they do
'Cause they're playing my song on the radio
And I'm singing it to you
If they don't have radios in heaven
here's what I'll do
I can bring my guitar when my time is up and I'll play it for you

Tell me can you hear me now
if not, then I can try to sing real loud
What's it like up on the other side of the clouds?
I hope I'm just like you
I hope I turn out to be as good as you

Stand Up ~ Flobots (I particularly like the bold)
* * *
Stand up
We shall not be moved
Except by a child with no socks and shoes
If you've got more to give than you've got to prove
Put your hands up and I'll copy you

Stand up
We shall not be moved
Except by a woman dying from a loss of food
If you've got more to give than you've got to prove
Put your hands up and I'll copy you

We still don't understand thunder and lightning
Flashback to when we didn't fund the dam
Didn't fund the damn levee
No wonder man
Now our whole damn city's torn asunder man
Underwater but we still don't understand
We see hurricane spills overrun the land
Through gaps you couldn't fill with a hundred tons of sand
No we still don't understand
We've seen planes in the windows of buildings
Crumbled in
We've seen flames sending chills through London
And we've sent planes to kill them
And some of them are children
But still we crumble under buildin
Underfunded but we still don't understand
Under God but we kill like the son of Sam
But if you feel like I feel about the son of man
We will overcome

So stand up (Stand up)
We shall not be moved
Except by a child with no socks and shoes
If you've got more to give than you've got to prove
Put your hands up and I'll copy you

Stand up (Stand up)
We shall not be moved
Except by a woman dying from a loss of food
If you've got more to give than you've got to prove
Put your hands up and I'll copy you

I said put your hands up and I'll copy you
Put your hands up and I'll copy you
If you've got more to give than you've got to prove
Put your hands up and I'll copy you

We shall not be moved
Except by a child with no socks and shoes
Except by a woman dying from a loss of food
Except by a freedom fighter bleeding on a cross for you

We shall not be moved
Except by a system thats rotting through
Neglecting the victims and ordering the cops to shoot
High treason now we need to prosecute

So stand up (Stand up)
We shall not be moved
And we wont fight a war over fossil fuel
Times like this that you want to plot a coup
Put your hands up and I'll copy you

Stand up (Stand up)
We shall not be moved
Unless we are taking a route we have no pursued
So if you've got a dream and a lot to do
Put your hands up and I'll copy you
I said put your hands up and I'll copy you
Put your hands up and I'll copy you
If you've got a dream and a lot to do
Put your hands up

Now shake, shake a Polaroid dream
Nightmare negatives develop on the screen
We sit back and wait for the government team
Criticize they but who the **** are we
The people want peace
But the leaders want war
Neighbors don't speak, peak through the front door
House representatives preach stay the course
Its time for a leap of faith
Once more
Put your hands up high if you haven't imagined
Hope that the pen strokes stronger than the cannon
Balls to the wall nose to the grindstone
My interrogation techniques leave ya mind blown
Places your bets, lets speak to the enemy
Don't let them pretend that we seek blood
And whose we anyway kimosabai
Mighty warlord wannabe street thug
A threat for a threat leaves the whole world terrified
Blow for blow never settles the score
Word for word its time to be clarified
We the people did not want war!

So stand up (Stand up)
We shall not be moved
Except by a child with no socks and shoes
If you've got more to give than you've got to prove
Put your hands up and I'll copy you

Stand up (Stand up)
We shall not be moved
Unless we are taking a route we have not pursued
So if you've got a dream and a lot to do
Put your hands up and I'll copy you

I said put your hands up and I'll copy you
Put your hands up and I'll copy you
If you've got a dream and a lot to do
Put your hands up

My favourite song, and some of the best lyrics in general, in my opinion:

Dogs - Pink Floyd

You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need
You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street
You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed
And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight
You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking.
And after a while, you can work on points for style
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake
A certain look in the eye, and an easy smile
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to
So that when they turn their backs on you
You'll get the chance to put the knife in.
You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder
You know it's going to get harder, and harder, and harder as you get older
And in the end you'll pack up, fly down south
Hide your head in the sand
Just another sad old man
All alone and dying of cancer.
And when you loose control, you'll reap the harvest that you've sown
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone
And it's too late to loose the weight you used to need to throw around
So have a good drown, as you go down, alone
Dragged down by the stone.
I gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused
Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used
Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise
If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this maze?
Deaf, dumb, and blind, you just keep on pretending
That everyone's expendable and no-one has a real friend
And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner
And everything's done under the sun
And you believe at heart, everyone's a killer.
Who was born in a house full of pain
Who was trained not to spit in the fan
Who was told what to do by the man
Who was broken by trained personnel
Who was fitted with collar and chain
Who was given a pat on the back
Who was breaking away from the pack
Who was only a stranger at home
Who was ground down in the end
Who was found dead on the phone
Who was dragged down by the stone.

"Golden Slumbers" Once there was a way to get back homeward/once there was a way to get back home/Sleep pretty darling do not cry/And I will sing a lullaby/ Golden slumbers fill your eyes/ Smiles awake yoou when you rise." the Beatles

I actually liked the chorus on this song and not just the lyrics, which is unusual.
Mistakes- Immortal Technique
It's hard to breath and hard to run when your lungs blacken
Coughing up blood like, what the **** happened?
Raising my wrist to cancer’s the answer homie,
But after drinking something it’s nothing like puffin a bogie
Now I could blame the same product placements in movies,
All the commercials, or scarface in a jacuzzi
But now I'm living it, damn I shoulda never took that first cigarette

I ****ed up, like your girl was riding on top of me,
I shoulda took her to trial, and never copped a plea,
But this aint a Christian nation, mother****er please
America never taught me to turn the other cheek
Cause I'm from Harlem, the north of Manhattan,
We knock niggas out, and make ‘em bounce like Ricky Hatton,
But wildin’ on the corner got me turned back from the Canadian border.

I knew she was a virgin when I first met her,
Rockin stockings, popping out of the catholic school sweater,
Mom told me she could do better than a criminal
Seventeen year old psychotic trying to be lyrical
I never meant to break her heart or **** up her life,
But I was careless instead of treating her right
I seen her again at some club, stripping,
And wondered if I could have made her life different

I joined the army looking for money to go to college
But they didn't pay me a quarter of what they ****ing promised
Extended my tour, treated me like a sucker
That's the reason offices get fragged, mother****er
Don't give me speeches on how you respect and you love me,
But no body armor in a lightly armored Humvee?
My family's lonely, and you want me to re-enlist for thirty grand homie?
No.

When I was young I got signed to a record label,
The deal looked so good when it was on the table
It paid for my cable, cribs, cars and jewelry, the studios, the women,
There's nothing they wouldn't do for me,
Except stop screwing me for publishing the royalties
How the **** are you my dog when there's no loyalty
Word to the street, I shoulda gone independent like Immortal Technique.

Some people learn from mistakes and don't repeat them,
Others try to block the memories and just delete them
But I keep them as a reminder they not killing me,
And I thank God for teaching me humility
Son remember when you fight to be free,
To see things how they are, and not how you like ‘em to be
Cause even when the world is falling on top of me,
Pessimism is an emotion, not a philosophy
Knowing what's wrong, doesn't imply that you right,
And its another when you suffer to apply it in life,
But I'm no rookie, and I'm never gonna make the same mistake twice, pussy


Also:Lupe Fiasco-Intruder Alert

She said that there was no love in her heart
Cause one day a rapist attacked her and broke
That all apart
She said there was no way to fix it
Or to cover her scars
Then one day a guy came along that
Probably could help her start
He was sincere made her believe it was safe
For her to trust again
Before long she was cool to giving hugs to him
Knew that it was right cause somethin was wrong
The alarms in her mind didn't tell her he didn't belong

There was no

[Chorus:]
Intruder [x4]
Alert [x4]

He said nobody else ever loved em (him)
Thats why he get high enough to go touch the heavens above em
Vividly remembers every pipe
Every needle that stuck em
Every alley he ever slept in
Every purse that he snuck in
Every level of hell he's been to
And the one that he's stuck in
The one he cant escape
Even tho it's of his own construction
Maybe you can relate
Maybe you one of those that just doesn't
Maybe he doesn't care
Loves to allow these demons to come in
With no

[Chorus:]
Intruder [x4]
Alert [x4]

Famine stricken his home
Land and no social standing
In the economic pecking order
Emergency relief
Distribution systems is in disorder
He's checking water making sure
It's safe enough for his
Daughter to float across in
The boat he built
Hopefully strong enough to support
Praying border patrols
Don't catch her
And process and deport her
Before she reach the shore
Of the land of the free
Where they feed u
Treat u like equals
Deceive you
Stamp u
And call you illegal

I don't have a favorite anything really but this version of this song ranks right up there for me.

Hallelujah – Written by Leonard Cohen, sung by KD Lang

I heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
You don’t really care for music do ya
Well it goes like this
The fourth the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

Well your faith was strong
But you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew ya
Well she tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and cut your hair
And from your lips she drew Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

Baby I’ve been here before
I’ve seen this room and I’ve walked this floor
Used to live alone before I knew ya
But I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
Our love is not a victory march
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

Maybe there’s a God above
But all I’ve ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
And it’s not a cry that you hear at night
It’s not someone who’s seen the light
It’s a cold and broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

Marble House by The Knife, one of my favourite songs ever.

I cut your nails and comb your hair,
I carry you down the stairs.
I wanted to see right through from the other side,
I wanted to walk a trail with no end in sight.

The moment we believe that we have never met
Another kind of love it's easy to forget
When we are all alone then we do both agree,
We have a thing in common this was meant to be.

You close my eyes and soothe my ears
You heal my wounds and dry my tears.
On the inside of this marble house I grow
And the seeds I sow will grow up prisoners too.

The moment we believe that we have never met
Another kind of love it's easy to forget
When we are all alone then we do both agree,
We have a thing in common this was meant to be.

Now where's your shoulder
What is it's name
What's your scent
Say it again.
If it goes faster can you still follow me
It must be safe when it's on TV.

I raise my hands to heaven of curiosity,
I don't know what to ask for
What has it got for me?
The others say we're hiding,
It's as forward as can be.
Some things I do for money,
Some things I do for free.

I Can- Regine Velasquez, Mikey Cojuangco, Donna Cruz

Chorus:
Regine Velasquez:
I can live... I can love
I can reach the heavens above...
I can right what is wrong...
I can sing just any song...
I can dance... I can fly...
And touch the rainbow in the sky...
I can be your good friend...
I can love you... until the end

Mikee Cojuangco:
What took you so long to make me see...
How lucky I am cause I am free...
Free to do the things I wanna do...

Donna Cruz:
What took you so long to make me feel...
I can give love...
Love so real...
What took you so long to let me know...

Repeat Chorus

Mikee Cojuangco:
What took you so long to make me cry...
Donna Cruz:
So I would know the reason why...
Mikee Cojuangco:
(what took you so long...)
Regine Velasquez:
I'm so lucky I can smile... I didn't know this for a while...

Repeat Chorus

Donna, Mikee:
I can dance...
Regine Velasquez:
(I can dance)
Donna, Mikee:
I can fly...
Regine Velasquez:
(I can fly)
Donna, Mikee, and Regine:
And touch the rainbow in the sky...
I can be your good friend...
I can love you...
Until the end...

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

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

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

good song.

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.

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

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

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

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

The Ting-Tings' "That's not my name" is really good.

"They call me hell
They call me Stacey
They call me her
They call me Jane
That's not my name"

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.

How you Live by Point of Grace

"Turn up the music
Let it all out
you want regret it
its not what you do
and its not where you've been
but its how you live"

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!)

" I looked to the sky and opened my eyes then the weathermen
Symbol in the clouds just a memory of my friend
He stuck his head in the future where they sing his art
Where the wild card will be crowned the king of hearts "



" Please stop talking so loud and just let me sleep
I ain't in nobody's way they can just step over me "



" Be kind to me or treat me mean, i'll make the most of it i'm an extraordinary machine " [/SIZE]

Still feels like our first night together. (Mr Bryan Adams)

Shakespeare in Love
by Layla Kaylif

He's fought and he's fallen
He's on his knees before he's on his feet
A sinister romantic
Oh, he's about to be and she's about to see

Teachin' torches to burn bright
She's hanging on the cheek of night
A snowy dove trooping with crows
He never saw true beauty till tonight

CHORUS:
She'll take him to the brink of deliverance
Show him that much
Oh, don't you know it
Oh, don't you know it
So he falls in love to feel that he's falling
She'll let him know his heart
Oh, don't you know it
Oh, don't you know it
That's Shakespeare in love

He's fought and he's fallen
He's on his knees before he's on his feet
A glittery romantic
Oh, he's about to be and she's about to see

His bounty's boundless like the sea
His love is endless, just as deep
The more he gives the more he has
`Cause both of them are truly infinite

CHORUS:
She'll take him to the brink of deliverance
Show him that much
Oh, don't you know it
Oh, don't you know it
So he falls in love to feel that he's falling
She'll let him know his heart
Oh, don't you know it
Oh, don't you know it
That's Shakespeare in love

That's Shakespeare in love

A sinister romantic
He's on his knees before he's on his feet

CHORUS:
She'll take him to the brink of deliverance
Show him that much
Oh, don't you know it
Oh, don't you know it
So he falls in love to feel that he's falling
She'll let him know his heart
Oh, don't you know it
Oh, don't you know it
That's Shakespeare in love

That's Shakespeare in love

I wanna love you and treat you right;
I wanna love you every day and every night:
We'll be together with a roof right over our heads;
We'll share the shelter of my single bed;
We'll share the same room, yeah! - for Jah provide the bread.
Is this love - is this love - is this love -
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
Is this love - is this love - is this love -
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
I wanna know - wanna know - wanna know now!
I got to know - got to know - got to know now!

I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I - I'm willing and able,
So I throw my cards on your table!
I wanna love you - I wanna love and treat - love and treat you right;
I wanna love you every day and every night:
We'll be together, yeah! - with a roof right over our heads;
We'll share the shelter, yeah, oh now! - of my single bed;
We'll share the same room, yeah! - for Jah provide the bread.

Is this love - is this love - is this love -
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
Is this love - is this love - is this love -
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
Wo-o-o-oah! Oh yes, I know; yes, I know - yes, I know now!
Yes, I know; yes, I know - yes, I know now!

I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I - I'm willing and able,
So I throw my cards on your table!
See: I wanna love ya, I wanna love and treat ya -
love and treat ya right.
I wanna love you every day and every night:
We'll be together, with a roof right over our heads!
We'll share the shelter of my single bed;
We'll share the same room, yeah! Jah provide the bread.
We'll share the shelter of my single bed

What a great song, LJ.

Bob is a legend

Wolfsheim - Leave no deed Undone

from the moment you wake up
you cannot feel free
there are so many things in this world
you can't see
just don't keep on leaving
your dreams behind
have a heart to see you'll get
trapped in your mind

it's like an impurity in your mind
furtive ruin that
hails from behind
get rid of the demon
that darkens your sun
go on... go on...
leave no deed undone!

you don't really depend
on material plight
and the way you live...
it is simply not right
you just have to get rid
of your own demands
fight against yourself
for a second chance

no escape
every further step you'll ever make
will drive you on to me
and I will set you free

sometimes it's so easy
just to be scared
no-one promised
your life would be fair
there's always a reason for you to run
away... with me... leave no deed undone

I especially like the "no-one promised your life would be fair", though I know that has been said many times before.

Zombie ~~~cranberries


Another head hangs lowly,
Child is slowly taken.
And the violence caused such silence,
Who are we mistaken?

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, dou, dou, dou, dou, dou...

Another mother's breakin' heart
Is taken over.
When the vi'lence causes silence,
We must be mistaken.

It's the same old theme since nineteen-sixteen.
In your head, in your head they're still fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are dying...

In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, oh, ya, ya-a...

"Run by Snow Patrol"

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

Slower slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads

Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

"Land Of Confusion" by disturbed


I must have dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street

Now, did you read the news today?
They say the danger has gone away
But I can see the fire's still alight
They're burning into the night

There's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And there's not much love to go around
Can't you see this is a land of confusion?

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in

Oh, superman, where are you now?
When everything's gone wrong somehow?
The men of steel, these men of power
Are losing control by the hour

This is the time, this is the place
So we look for the future
But there's not much love to go around
Tell me why this is a land of confusion

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in

I remember long ago
When the sun was shining
And all the stars were bright all through the night
In the wake of this madness, as I held you tight
So long ago

I won't be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
That we know we'll never keep

There's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And there's not much love to go round
Can't you see this is a land of confusion?

Now, this is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for

This is the world we live in
And these are the names we're given
Stand up and let's start showing
Just where our lives are going to

if there was a better way than you know that it would find me! :)


who's sending letters through the mail
(stop it quit, calling my name)
whose empty chair is at the table?
(it's mine, I've left you alone)
who changed the locks?
Who took the pictures off the wall?
string me along like a beautiful love song

:D :D
I'm at the Water's Edge and I'm peering closer
This is where I will be, where you can find me
My shadow's kissing secrets
Your heart's in agony
I never meant to make you cry
Love, come back to me

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have you found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

Brandy "True" lyrics

In your arms I feel right at home,
That's the feeling I ain't felt before.
If you're feeling the same way then let me know,
Cause there's nothing worse than being in love alone.

Is it true that I'm not the only one?
Is it true that you're just having fun with my heart?
I need an answer
Is it true
Is it true

You're my Angel that was sent to earth.
In your eyes I see my future.
I can't be without you so it's got to work.
Goodbyes not an option so don't say a word.

Is it true that I'm not the only one?
Is it true that you're just having fun with my heart?
I need an answer
Is it true
Is it true

I've never been a victim of love before
So I’m not sure what I should be looking for
But I know the signs are in my face
Hope it's not to late to change
Your mind and make you wanna stay

Is it true that I'm not the only one?
Is it true that you're just having fun with my heart?
I need an answer
Is it true
Is it true

Is it true that I'm not the only one?
Is it true that you're just having fun with my heart?
I need an answer
Is it true
Is it true

If you just can't tell me the truth
it wasn't real when you said I love you.

I think I've already lost you
I think you're already gone
I think I'm finally scared now
You think I'm weak - but I think you're wrong
I think you're already leaving
Feels like your hand is on the door
I thought this place was an empire
But now I'm relaxed - I can't be sure

I think you're so mean - I think we should try
I think I could need - this in my life
I think I'm just scared - I think too much
I know this is wrong it's a problem I'm dealing

If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home
There's an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If you're gone - baby you need to come home
Cuz there's a little bit of something me
In everything in you

I bet you're hard to get over
I bet the room just won't shine
I bet my hands I can stay here
I bet you need - more than you mind

I think you're so mean - I think we should try
I think I could need - this in my life
I think I'm just scared - that I know too much
I can't relate and that's a problem I'm feeling

If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home
There's an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If you're gone - baby you need to come home
Cuz there's a little bit of something me
In everything in you

I think you're so mean - I think we should try
I think I could need - this in my life
I think I'm just scared - do I talk too much
I know this is wrong it's a problem I'm dealing

If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home
There's an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If you're gone - baby you need to come home
Cuz there's a little bit of something me
In everything in you

Fils Du Ciel - Les Rockets

Le dieux venus sur leur chars de feu
Les yeux brillants comme de diamants
Un corps sideral
Vetu de metal
Fils du ciel

Nous sommes les fils du ciel

Les matres du temps et de l'univers
Survolent les villes de notre terre
Vous, vous les verrez
D'un monde detraque
Fils du ciel

Nous sommes les fils du ciel

Nous sommes les fils de dieux
Venus purifier votre terre
