Since I don't have you

"I don't have anything since I don't have you"
Poderia ser o tema de um psicopata, de um suicida ou de um bêbado. Depende de como as pessoas encaram as coisas. Originalmente essa música, gravada pelos "Skyliners" era uma ingênua 'heartbroken song', bem ao estilo dos anos 50 ainda e que mereceria no máximo um porre. E é isso, não passa disso. O que quer que você faça não perturbe ninguém. Como diz o ditado: "If you can't hand you drink. Drink milk!" A letra é ótima! O cara está completamente arrasado, na pior. O que ele fez? Escreveu uma música! E hoje nós temos a satisfação de ler esta pérola da depressão!
Since I don't have you
I don't have plans and schemes,
And I don't have hopes and dreams.
I don't have anything,
Since I don't have you.
And I don't have fond desires,
and I don't have happy hours.
I don't have anything,
Since I don't have you.
Happiness, and I guess,
I never will again.
When you walked out on me,
In walked ol' misery,
And he's been here since then.
Yeah, we're fucked.
I don't have love to share,
And I don't have one who cares.
I don't have anything,
Since I don't have you.
You, you, you, oh, oh!
You, you, you, oh, oh!
You, you, you, oh, oh!
You, you, you, oh, oh!
You, you, you, oh yeah!

Símbolos da intolerância

Que droga significa esse símbolo?? Eu não sei. Já pesquisei e niguém sabe ao certo. Mas isso não faz a mínima diferença, porque qualquer que seja seu significado ele pode ser forjado e associado a qualquer coisa que você quiser.
Há muitos símbolos de intolerância, entretanto há ainda mais pessoas intolerantes.
In the Flash (2)
So ya, thought ya
Might like to go to the show.
To feel that warm thrill of confusion,
That space cadet glow.
I've got some bad news for you sunshine,
Pink isn't well, he stayed back at the hotel
And they sent us along as a surrogate band
We're gonna find out where you folks really stand.
Are there any queers in the theater tonight?
Get them up against the wall!
There's one in the spotlight, he don't look right to me,
Get him up against the wall!
That one looks Jewish!
And that one's a coon!
Who let all of this riff-raff into the room?
There's one smoking a joint,
And another with spots!
If I had my way,
I'd have all of you shot!

How do you think it feels?

How do you think it feels
Lou Reed
How do you think it feels
When you're speeding and lonely
Come here baby
How do you think it feels
When all you can say is: If only
If only I had a little
If only I had some change
If only, if only, only
How do you think it feels
And when do you think it stops ?
How do you think it feels
When you've been up for five days
Come down here Mama
Hunting around always - ooh
'Cause you're afraid of sleeping
How do you think it feels
To feel like a wolf and foxy
How do you think it feels
To always make love by proxy ?
How do you think it feels
And when do you think it stops ?
When do you think it stops ?

Heroine/Heroin

Heroine= Heroina, feminino de herói
Heroin - Lou Reed
I dont know just where Im going
But Im goin to try for the kingdom if I can
cause it makes me feel like Im a man
When I put a spike into my vein
Then I tell you things arent quite the same
When Im rushing on my run
And I feel just like jesus son
And I guess I just dont know
And I guess that I just dont know
I have made very big decision
Im goin to try to nullify my life
cause when the blood begins to flow
When it shoots up the droppers neck
When Im closing in on death
You cant help me not you guys
All you sweet girls with all your sweet talk
You can all go take a walk
And I guess I just dont know
And I guess I just dont know
I wish that I was born a thousand years ago
I wish that Id sailed the darkened seas
On a great big clipper ship
Going from this land here to that
I put on a sailors suit and cap
Away from the big city
Where a man cannot be free
Of all the evils in this town
And of himself and those around
Oh, and I guess I just dont know
Oh, and I guess I just dont know
Heroin, be the death of me
Heroin, its my wife and its my life
Because a mainer to my vein
Leads to a center in my head
And then Im better off than dead
When the smack begins to flow
Then I really dont care anymore
About all the jim-jims in this town
And everybody putting everybody else down
And all of the politicians makin crazy sounds
All the dead bodies piled up in mounds, yeah
Wow, that heroin is in my blood
And the blood is in my head
Yeah, the gods good as dead
Ooohhh, God that Im not aware
I just dont care
And I guess I just dont know
And I guess I just dont know
Flesh Failures

The Flesh Failures
We starve-lookAt one another
Short of breath
Walking proudly in our winter coats
Wearing smells from laboratories
Facing a dying nation
Of moving paper fantasy
Listening for the new told lies
With supreme visions of lonely tunes
Somewhere
Inside something there is a rush of
Greatness
Who knows what stands in front of
Our lives

I fashion my future on films in space
Silence
Tells me secretly
Everything
Everything
Manchester England England
Manchester England England
Eyes look your last
Across the Atlantic Sea
Arms take your last
embrace
And I'm a genius genius
And lips oh you the
doors of breath
I believe in God
Seal with a righteous kiss
And I believe that God believes in Claude
Seal with a righteous kiss
That's me, that's me, that's me
The rest is silence
The rest is silence
The rest is silence
[Singing]
Our space songs on a spider web sitar
Life is around you and in you
Answer for Timothy Leary, dearie
Let the sunshine
Let the sunshine in
The sunshine in
Let the sunshine
Let the sunshine in
The sunshine in
Let the sunshine
Let the sunshine in
The sun shine in...

The Boxer

I am just a poor boy
When I left my home and my family I was no more than a boy
Looking for the places only they would know

Lie la lie...
Asking only workman's wages I come looking for a job
But I get no offers
Lie la lie...
Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
In the clearing stands a boxer
Lie la lie...

Elton John - I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues

I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues
Don't wish it away

Don't look at it like it's forever
Between you and me I could honestly say
That things can only get better
And while I'm away
Dust out the demons inside
And it won't be long before you and me run
To the place in our
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
Time on my hands could be time spent with you
Laughing like children, living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
Just stare into space
Picture my face in your hands
Live for each second without hesitation
And never forget I'm your man
Wait on me girl
Cry in the night if it helps
But more than ever I simply love you
More than I love life itself

You're in my heart

Rod Stewart
I didn't know what day it waswhen you walked into the roomI said hello unnoticedYou said goodbye too soonBreezing through the clientelespinning yarns that were so lyricalI really must confess right herethe attraction was purely physicalI took all those habits of yoursthat in the beginning were hard to acceptYour fashion sense, Beardsly printsI put down to experienceThe big bosomed lady with the Dutch accentwho tried to change my point of viewHer ad lib lines were well rehearsedbut my heart cried out for youChorus:You're in my heart, you're in my soulYou'll be my breath should I grow oldYou are my lover, you're my best friendYou're in my soulMy love for you is immeasurableMy respect for you immenseYou're ageless, timeless, lace and finenessYou're beauty and eleganceYou're a rhapsody, a comedyYou're a symphony and a playYou're every love song ever writtenBut honey what do you see in me(Chorus)You're an essay in glamourPlease pardon the grammarbut you're every schoolboy's dreamYou're Celtic, United, but baby I've decidedYou're the best team I've ever seenAnd there have been many affairsMany times I've thought to leaveBut I bite my lip and turn around'cause you're the warmest thing I've ever found(Chorus)

Elton John

Esse talvez seja um dos melhores albuns de Elton John! Hoje vamos comentar a música "Someone saved my life tonight" - não é certamente uma música muito conhecida, mas é muito importante. Elton estava para se casar (com uma mulher!!). Esse episódio deu-se em 1969, e Elton não era nem de longe famoso ou rico. (Essa música foi gravada apenas em 1975) Segundo consta, apartir desse momento (o rompimento do noivado) iniciou-se a carreira artística de Elton John, assim como o processo de assumir-se gay. Há uma frase que precisa de algum esclarecimento, para aqueles que não conhecem certos termos próprios da Inglaterra:
"Clinging to your stocks and bonds Paying your H.P. demands forever" - HP= "Hire Purchase" - mais ou menos o equivalente a umfinanciamento mediante penhor. Eu não sei exatamente o que Taupin queria dizer com isso, mas certamente indica que o casamento lhe custaria caro demais.
SOMEONE SAVES MY LIFE TONIGHT
When I think of those east end lights, muggy nights The curtains drawn in the little room downstairs Prima donna lord you really should have been there Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair And its one more beer and I dont hear you anymore We've all gone crazy lately My friends out there rolling round the basement floor And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear You almost had your hooks in me didnt you dear You nearly had me roped and tied Altar-bound, hypnotized Sweet freedom whispered in my ear Youre a butterfly And butterflies are free to fly Fly away, high away, bye bye I never realised the passing hours of evening showers A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams Im strangled by your haunted social sceneJust a pawn out-played by a dominating queen Its four oclock in the morning Damn it listen to me good Im sleeping with myself tonight Saved in time, thank God my musics still alive And I would have walked head on into the deep end of the river Clinging to your stocks and bonds Paying your h.p. demands forever They're coming in the morning with a truck to take me home Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight Someone saved my life tonight So save your strength and run the field you play alone
