Off I go | Greg Laswell

Loose ends, they tangle down

And then take flight

But never tie me down

Never tie me down.

Loose ends, they tangle down

And then take flight

But never tie me down

Never tie me down.

Off I go.

Where I fall

Is where I land.

Off I go.

Where I fall.

Is where I land.

Road Trippin'

Road trippin' with my two favorite allies

Fully loaded we got snacks and supplies

It's time to leave this town, it's time to steal away

Let's go get lost anywhere in the U.S.A.

Let's go get lost, let's go get lost..

.

Blue you sit so pretty west of the one

Sparkle light with yellow icing just a mirror for the sun

Just a mirror for the sun

Just a mirror for the sun

These smiling eyes are just a mirror for...

So much as come before those battles lost and won

This life is shining more forever in the sun

Now let us check our heads and let us check the surf

Staying high and dry's more trouble than it's worth in the sun

Just a mirror for the sun

Just a mirror for the sun

These Smiling eyes are just a mirror for...

In Big Sur we take some time to linger on

We three hunky dory's got our snakefinger on

Now let us drink the stars, it's time to steal away

Let's go get lost right here in the U.S.A.

Let's go get lost, let's go get lost...

Blue you sit so pretty west of the one

Sparkle light with yellow icing just a mirror for the sun

Just a mirror for the sun

Just a mirror for the sun

These smiling eyes are just a mirror for...

These smiling eyes are just a mirror for...

Your smiling eyes are just a mirror for...

It's oh, so quiet | Bjork

Shhhh, Shhhh
It's, oh, so quiet shh,shh
It's, oh, so still shh,shh
You're all alone shh, shh
And so peaceful until...

You fall in love
Zing boom
The sky up above
Zing boom
Is caving in
Wow bam
You've never been so nuts about a guy
You wanna laugh you wanna cry
You cross your heart and hope to die
'Til it's over and then

Shhh, Shhh
It's nice and quiet
Shhh, Shhh
But soon again
Shhh, Shhh
Starts another big riot

You blow a fuse, zing boom
The devil cuts loose, zing boom
So what's the use, wow bam
Of falling in love

It's, oh, so quiet
It's, oh, so still
You're all alone
And so peaceful until...

You ring the bell, bim bam
You shout and you yell, hi ho ho
You broke the spell
Gee, this is swell you almost have a fit
This guy is "gorge" and I got hit
There's no mistake this is it

'Til it's over and then
It's nice and quiet
Shhh, Shhh
But soon again
Shhh, Shhh
Starts another big riot

You blow a fuse
Zing boom
The devil cuts loose
Zing boom
So what's the use
Wow bam
Of falling in love

The sky caves in
The devil cuts loose
You blow blow blow blow blow your fuse ahhh
When you've fallen in love
Ssshhhhhh...

The Cat Empire | Nothing

Yesterday

the sky looked sweet

when we dropped

a big bomb at our feet

and sometime soon

we all might zoom

to space and continue

with another zoo

Work and pace

for paper face

spend it wisely

and keep it safe

because the human race

is a non-stop race

with too many trials

but no real case

Something about this second

something about this hour

take away the money

then the time becomes the power

a moment just to swim

and to shower and to sing

and to brighten and to dim

and to sleep and to wander in

Nothing

oh sweet nothing

today we're doing nothing at all

Yesterday

I climbed a hill

then cycle down speedy

on a great big wheel

feeling ill

laboured still

grinding and stressing

in that giant mill

Drove a car

stop and start

round and round in circles

never got too far

running barefoot

on the hot hot tar

‘cause if you stop

then you burn

then your feet get scars

Something about this instance

something about this minute

striving for the future

but don't realise that we're in it

a moment just to float

to ponder and to dote

to dry and to soak

and to take a little toke of that

Nothing

oh sweet nothing

today we're doing nothing at all

pageant of the bizarre

 

It's never gonna be

Normal, you and me

What you're signing on for

Is a storm at sea

Catch a falling star you'll go far

In the pageant of the bizarre

You may fall indeed, yeah

You'll find peace with me, yeah

Yesterday

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away.

Now it looks as though they're here to stay.

Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly, 

I'm not half the man I used to be,

There's a shadow hanging over me,

Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Why she had to go 

I don't know she wouldn't say. 

I said something wrong,

Now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.

Now I need a place to hide away.

Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Why she had to go 

I don't know she wouldn't say. 

I said something wrong,

Now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.

Now I need a place to hide away.

Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm.

The xx | Heart skipped a beat

Heart skipped a beat

And when I caught it

You were out of reach

But I'm sure, I'm sure

You've heard it before

Paranoid Android | Radiohead

Please could you stop the noise, I'm trying to get some rest

From all the unborn chicken voices in my head

What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but not an android)

What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but not an android)

When I am king, you will be first against the wall

With your opinion which is of no consequence at all

What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but no android)

What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but no android)

Ambition makes you look pretty ugly

Kicking and squealing gucci little piggy

You don't remember

You don't remember

Why don't you remember my name?

Off with his head, man

Off with his head, man

Why don't you remember my name?

I guess he does....

Rain down, rain down

Come on rain down on me

From a great height

From a great height... height...

Rain down, rain down

Come on rain down on me

From a great height

From a great height... height...

Rain down, rain down

Come on rain down on me 

That's it, sir

You're leaving

The crackle of pigskin

The dust and the screaming

The yuppies networking

The panic, the vomit

The panic, the vomit

God loves his children, God loves his children, yeah! 

Dancing with myself

On the floor of Tokyo

Or down in London town to go, go

With the record selection

And the mirror's reflection

I'm dancing with myself

When there's no-one else in sight

In the crowded lonely night

Well I wait so long

For my love vibration

And I'm dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself

Well there's nothing to lose

And there's nothing to prove

I'll be dancing with myself

If I looked all over the world

And there's every type of girl

But your empty eyes

Seem to pass me by

Leave me dancing with myself

So let's sink another drink

'Cause it'll give me time to think

If I had the chance

I'd ask the world to dance

And I'll be dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself

Well there's nothing to lose

And there's nothing to prove

I'll be dancing with myself

If I looked all over the world

And there's every type of girl

But your empty eyes

Seem to pass me by

Leave me dancing with myself

So let's sink another drink

'Cause it'll give me time to think

If I had the chance

I'd ask the world to dance

And I'll be dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself

If I had the chance

I'd ask the world to dance

If I had the chance

I'd ask the world to dance

If I had the chance

I'd ask the world to dance

[Scat]

Dancing with myself

Dancing with myself

Dancing with myself

Dancing with myself

If I looked all over the world

And there's every type of girl

But your empty eyes

Seem to pass me by

Leave me dancing with myself

So let's sink another drink

'Cause it'll give me time to think

If I had the chance

I'd ask the world to dance

And I'll be dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself

If I had the chance

I'd ask the world to dance

If I had the chance

I'd ask the world to dance

If I had the chance

I'd ask the world to dance

postcards from italy | beirut

The times we had

Oh, when the wind would blow with rain and snow

Were not all bad

We put our feet just where they had, had to go

Never to go

The shattered soul

Following close but nearly twice as slow

In my good times

There were always golden rocks to throw

at those who admit defeat too late

Those were our times, those were our times

And I will love to see that day

That day is mine

When she will marry me outside with the willow trees

And play the songs we made

They made me so

And I would love to see that day

Her day was mine

hoje é o primeiro dia do resto da tua vida

E entretanto o tempo fez cinza da brasa

e outra maré cheia virá da maré vazia

nasce um novo dia e no braço outra asa

brinda-se aos amores com o vinho da casa

e vem-nos à memória uma frase batida

hoje é o primeiro dia do resto da tua vida

últimos dias

ok.
chegou agora.
chegou a hora.


começo-me a aperceber
como se um balde de uma água lenta e fria me fosse despejada pelas costas
e eu de pés bem colados no chão se me poder mexer
de que mais uma vez,
termino
um dos muitos capítulos da minha vida


sempre


sem saber como cá cheguei.

Blind Blind Blind.

ao menos é bom saber que
quando se termina com algo
se começa outro algo.

Inspiração
acção de inspirar algo a alguém; influência
sugestão; lembrança

Quantas vezes, não passamos nós, à procura de inspiração?
Quantas vezes, não passamos nós, de olhos abertos?
Quantas vezes, não passamos nós, de olhos fechados?

Abram os olhos.

Olhem para as vossas mãos.
Agora estão em cima de um teclado, de um rato ou qualquer coisa mas não as olhem só agora. Não as olhem só por agora.

Olhem para as vossas mãos e
vejam o que podem fazer.

Olhem para as vossas mãos
num dia muito, muito frio.

Vejam o sangue que lhes aflui.

Olhem para as vossas mãos
num dia de chuva.

Vejam o percurso que cada gota de água tem.

Olhem para as vossas mãos
quando estiverem cheias de terra.

Vejam por onde a terra cai.

Olhem para as vossas mãos
quando andam pelas ruas.

Vejam as caras que as pessoas levam.

Olhem para as vossas mãos
num dia de sol.

Vejam quantos sorrisos apanham.

Olhem para as vossas mãos.
Vejam o que podem fazer.

Olhem quando puderem.
Olhem quando quiserem.
Olhem quando se lembrarem.
Vocês têm mãos.


Usem-nas.

Não vejo melhor inspiração
que o nosso próprio eu
e a nossa própria mão.
