Lioness

Artist: Songs:Ohia
Album: Lioness
Year: 2000

it is for me the eventual truth
of that look of the lioness to her man across the Nile
it is that look of the lioness to her man across the Nile
wanna feel my heart break if it must break in your jaws
want you to lick my blood off your paws
you can't get her fast enough
I will swim to you
whether you save you me
whether you savage me
want my last look to be the moon in your eyes
want my heart to break if it must break in your jaws
want you to lick my blood off your paws
it is for me the eventual truth
it is that look of the lioness to her man across the Nile
and you can't get here fast enough
I will swim to you

H.

What's coming through is alive.
What's holding up is a mirror.
But what's singing songs is a snake
Looking to turn this piss to wine.

They're both totally void of hate,
But killing me just the same.

The snake behind me hisses
What my damage could have been.
My blood before me begs me
Open up my heart again.

And I feel this coming over like a storm again.
Considerately.

Venomous voice, tempts me,
Drains me, bleeds me,
Leaves me cracked and empty.
Drags me down like some sweet gravity.

The snake behind me hisses
What my damage could have been.
My blood before me begs me
Open up my heart again.

And I feel this coming over like a storm again.

I am too connected to you to
Slip away, to fade away.
Days away I still feel you
Touching me, changing me,
And considerately killing me.

Without the skin,
Beneath the storm,
Under these tears
The walls came down.

And the snake is drowned and
As I look in his eyes,
My fear begins to fade
Recalling all of those times.

I could have cried then.
I should have cried then.

And as the walls come down and
As I look in your eyes
My fear begins to fade
Recalling all of the times
I have died
and will die.
It's all right.
I don't mind.

I am too connected to you to
Slip away, to fade away.
Days away I still feel you
Touching me, changing me,

And considerately killing me.

Three Libras

Artitst: A Perfect Circle
Album: Mer De Noms
Year: 2000

threw you the obvious
and you flew with it on your back, a name
in your recollection
down, among a million, say:
difficult not to feel a little bit
disappointed, and passed over
but i look right through
see you naked but oblivious
and you don't see me

but i threw you the obvious
just to see if there was more behind the
eyes of a fallen angel
eyes of a tragedy

.......oh well

apparently nothing
apparently nothing at all

you don't
you don't
you don't
see me

you don't
see me, you...
you dont...
you dont see me at all

Are You There?

Are you there?
is it wonderful to know
all the ghosts...
all the ghosts...
freak my selfish out
my mind is happy
need to learn to let it go
I know you'd do no harm to me

but since you've been gone I've been lost inside
tried and failed as we walked by the riverside

and I wish you could see the love in her eyes
the best friend that eluded you lost in time
burned alive in the heat of a grieving mind

but what can I say now?
it couldn't be more wrong
cos there's no one there
unmistakably lost and without a care
did we lose all the love that we could have shared

and its wearing me down
and its turning me round
and I can't find a way
now to find it out
where are you when I need you...

are you there?

The Mess We're In

Artists: P.J. Harvey & Thom Yorke
Album: Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea
Year: 2000

Can you hear them?
The helicopters?
I'm in New York
No need for words now
We sit in silence
You look me in the eye directly
You met me
I think it's Wednesday
The evening, the mess we're in

The city sun sets over me
The city sun sets over me

Night and day
I dream of
Making love to you now baby
Love making on screen
Impossible dream
And I have seen
The sunrise over the river
The freeway, reminding of
This mess we're in

The city sun sets over me
The city sun sets over me

What were you wanting?
I just want to say
Don't ever change
And thank you
I don't think we will meet again
I really must leave now
Before the sunrise
Above skyscrapers
The sin and
This mess we're in

The city sun sets over me
The city sun sets over me

Phantasmagoria In Two

If a fiddler played you a song, my love
And if I gave you a wheel
Would you spin for my heart and loneliness
Would you spin for my love

If I gave up all of my pride for you
And only loved you for now
Would you hide my fears and never say
"Tomorrow I must go"

Everywhere there's rain my love
Everywhere there's fear

If you tell me a lie I'll cry for you
Tell me of sin and I'll laugh
If you tell me of all the pain you've had
I'll never smile again

Everywhere there's rain my love
Everywhere there's fear

I can plainly see that our parts have changed
Our sands are shifting around
Need I beg to you for one more day
To find our lonely love

Everywhere there's rain my love
Everywhere there's fear

Grace

There's the moon asking to
stay
Long enough for the clouds to fly me away
Well it's my time coming,
I'm not afraid to die

My fading voice sings of love,
but she cries to
the clicking of time,
Oh, time.
Wait in the fire...And she weeps on my arm
Walking to the bright lights in sorrow
Oh drink a bit of wine
we both might go
tomorrow
Oh my love...And the rain is falling
and I believe
my time has come
It reminds me of the pain
I might leave behind...
Wait in the fire…And I feel them drown
my name
So easy to know and forget with this kiss
I'm not afraid to go
but it goes so slow

Love, Hate, Love

I tried to love you I thought I could
I tried to own you I thought I would
I want to peel the skin from your face
Before the real you lays to waste

You told me I'm the only one
Sweet little angel you should have run
Lying, crying, dying to leave
Innocence creates my hell

Cheating myself still you know more
It would be so easy with a whore
Try to understand me little girl
My twisted passion to be your world

Lost inside my sick head
I live for you but I'm not alive
Take my hand before I kill
Still love you, I still burn

Love, hate, love

Perfect Day

Just a perfect day,
Drink Sangria in the park,
And then later, when it gets dark,
We go home.
Just a perfect day,
Feed animals in the zoo
Then later, a movie, too,
And then home.

You're going to reap just what you sow,
You're going to reap just what you sow,
You're going to reap just what you sow,
You're going to reap just what you sow...

Set The Ray To Jerry

Born to please, every simple need
I stand alone in my thoughts indeed
Hate you
For ever making me
I'm in you, I'm your anything

And I- want you
And I- need you
And all you are is brand new
And I- need you

Come to me, let me hold you still
I'm so tired, just as tired as you
Take me for anyone but me
All that you feel is never true

And I- want you
And I- need you
And all you are is brand new
And I- need you

When you say that you are
Forever my star
Could never let you go, no, no
And never let you know

Let roar these fears
To the whore of my tears
Pure as a lie, I pour to your eyes
Suck you like the sap from a tree
Honey from the dew, from the bumblebees, yeah yeah

And I- want you
And I- need you
And all you are is brand new
And I- need you

When you say that you are
Forever my star
Could never let you go, no, no
Never let you know

And I- want you
And I- need you
And all you are is brand new
And I- need you

Rospo

Solo un momento
un po’ di tempo per me
nel mio mondo inutile
il tuo sorriso mi disgusta

Sono contento
di essere infelice
si apre il sipario ma
non credere
io non so fingere
io non so fingere

Libero dentro
io non esco da me
sono chiuso in gabbia ma
prendimi
prova a prendermi
sì, prova a prendermi

Show me your hand
non sarei più lo stesso
Show me your hand
prova a ridere adesso
Show me your hand
non mi fermare adesso
Show me your hand
non puoi toccarmi dentro

Libero dentro
un mondo di favole
vittima di un incantesimo
baciami
sì, ho detto baciami
voglio tornare ROSPO

Show me your hand
voglio tornare ROSPO
Show me your hand
superficialità mediocrità successo
Show me your hand
non mi fermare adesso
Show me your hand
non puoi toccarmi dentro

Show me your hand
voglio tornare ROSPO
Show me your hand
moralità formalità già dato
Show me your hand
non mi fermare adesso
Show me your hand
ipocrisia televisiva conati
Show me your hand
non mi fermare adesso
Show me your hand
non puoi toccarmi dentro

Ragazzo Solo, Ragazza Sola
(versione italiana di Space Oddity)

La mia mente ha preso il volo
Un pensiero, uno solo
Io cammino mentre dorme la città

I suoi occhi nella notte
Fanali bianchi nella notte
Una voce che mi parla chi sarà?

Dimmi ragazzo solo dove vai,
Perché tanto dolore?
Hai perduto senza dubbio un grande amore
Ma di amori e' tutta piena la città,

No ragazza sola, no no no
Stavolta sei in errore
Non ho perso solamente un grande amore
Ieri sera ho perso tutto con lei.

Ma lei
I colori della vita
Dei cieli blu
Una come lei non la troverò mai più

Ora ragazzo solo dove andrai
La notte e' un grande mare
Se ti serve la mia mano per nuotare
Grazie ma stasera io vorrei morire
Perché sai negli occhi miei
C'e' un angelo, un angelo
Che ormai non vola più che ormai non vola più
Che ormai non vola più
C'e' lei
I colori della vita
Dei cieli blu
Una come lei non la troverò mai più

Livido Amniotico

Sono soltanto parole per me, che la distanza ora complica
io vorrei tanto capirne di più, vorrei che non pensassi al male
che perso nel sonno più chiuso che c'è, lascia soltanto un impronta nell'aria
oltre a un respiro d'amaro per noi, ci resta solo il disegno del tempo.
so che avremmo ancora bisogno di crederci,
e anche se a volte parlarne fa male
so che resta un livido amniotico gelido,
sto percorrendo a ritroso la strada

per noi, ma qui tu scivoli a fondo e non hai
rifugio per sciogliere il peso che c'è
in me è tardi in me

Sono soltanto parole per me, che la distanza ora complica
io vorrei tanto capirne di più, vorrei che non pensassi al male
che perso nel sonno più chiuso che c'è, lascia soltanto un impronta nell'aria
oltre a un respiro d'amaro per noi, ci resta solo il disegno del tempo.

se non posso nemmeno provare più a reggerti
nel vuoto che raschia il tuo sguardo specchiandomi
lasciare che il tempo ora passi sopra di noi
rendermi immobile al flusso dei giorni

tra noi,ma qui tu scivoli a fondo e non hai
rifugio per sciogliere il peso che c'è
in me è tardi in me

Sono soltanto parole per me, che la distanza ora complica
io vorrei tanto capirne di più, vorrei che non pensassi al male
che perso nel sonno più chiuso che c'è, lascia soltanto un impronta nell'aria
oltre a un respiro d'amaro per noi, ci resta solo il disegno del tempo.

sei per me livido amniotico,
sei per me livido amniotico,
sei per me livido amniotico,
sei per me livido amniotico,
sei per me livido amniotico.

Sono soltanto parole per me, che la distanza ora complica
io vorrei tanto capirne di più, vorrei che non pensassi al male
che perso nel sonno più chiuso che c'è, lascia soltanto un impronta nell'aria
oltre a un respiro d'amaro per noi, ci resta solo il disegno del tempo

For The Roses

Rose said quote: "it's time to make a mess"
Time won't be soon mine in time I guess
She's painting on my back a beautiful flowerpot
And she treats me she treats me she treats me like her local god

Rose said quote: "it's time to make a mess"
This one's yours and yours is self obsessed
She's painting on my back a green tom, the Beefheart one
And she cuddles and she coos
and she cuts the bullshit I confessed

She said: "Don't look my way
What can I possibly say
I've never seen you before today
I'm just the one that makes you think of the one
that makes you feel like you're the one."

But thank you for the roses for the roses
So thank you for the roses for the roses
Thank you for the roses for the roses

Rose said quote: "it's time to make a mess"
remind me what it is that I do best
She's painting on my back some beautiful something sweet
And she treats me, she treats me, she beats me

Rose said quote: "my time has come at last"
Ugly things through my mind they have passed
She's scratching on my back 'if this boy believes me'
She leaves me, deceives me and takes those flowers just to
please me...

Rose don't mind where she been
She been blind
She been mine
all this time
She been kind
She been blind
She says: "Thank you for the roses for the roses."

Just to thank you for the roses for the roses

Just to thank you...

Right Where It Belongs

See the animal in it's cage that you built
Are you sure what side you're on
Better not look him too closely in the eye
Are you sure what side of the glass you are on
See the safety of the life you have built
Everything where it belongs
Feel the hollowness inside of your heart
And it's all
Right where it belongs

What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems
What if all the world you think you know
Is an elaborate dream
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you wanted to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks
Would you find yourself
Find yourself afraid to see?

What if all the world's inside of your head
Just creations of your own
Your devils and your gods
All the living and the dead
And you really are alone
You can live in this illusion
You can choose to believe
You keep looking but you can't find the woods
Are you hiding in the dreams?

What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems
What if all the world you used to know
Is an elaborate dream
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you wanted to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks
Would you find yourself
Find yourself afraid to see?

Artist: Sophia
Album: People Are Like Seasons
Year: 2004

oh I left you
but you never really felt that far away
oh I left you
because it seemed to hurt us less than if I stayed
and yeah I left you
but you never really felt that far away
and yeah I left you
because it seemed to hurt us less than if I stayed

and if I will you closer
can you feel the presence of my thoughts
and you don’t say much now
but what you say just tears
yeah tears my world apart
and are you waiting
are you waiting for the end before it begins
and are you waiting
are you waiting for the end

oh I left you
but you never really felt that far away
and yeah I left you
because it seemed to hurt us less than if I’d stayed
and yeah I left you
but how long will it take for you to forget this hate
and yeah I left you
but is "I'm sorry" too simple a thing to say now
