Irene Skylakaki - In the light

Lately I've been sitting all alone

And my mind has frozen time

But the clock is ticking

Tell me would you want to kiss me

Hold me in your arms 
and squeeze me

If you knew I was a beast

But in the light
Everything looks beautiful and bright
I can see no clouds up in the sky

Your sparkling eyes
Make it hard to see behind the lies
Why do I put up with this disguise

Lately I've been sitting in the dark
And our moments at the park
Seem so far and distant

The Sound - I can't escape my self

So many feelings
pent up in here
left all alone, i'm with
the one i most fear

I'm sick and i'm tired
of reasoning;
just want to break out,
shake off this skin

 

I, i can't
escape myself

All my problems
loom larger than life
i can't swallow
another slice

Seems like my shadow
mocks every stride
i learn to live with
what's trapped inside

Minus blue - Be as one

Tread the ground on which 

you stand all life's memories 

in your hand shaded dawn 

burst to light watch as 

day lightens night

Thinking back to that day
wading sun shined waters fast
watching time pass away
it's no good to live the past

Tread the ground on which you stand
all life's memories in your hand
shaded dawn burst to light
watch as day lightens night

Dreams get better all the time
still i hope the day will come
that day when sun rays will shine
when you and i will be as one

Tread the ground on which you stand
all life's memories in your hand
shaded dawn burst to light
watch as day lightens night

Soft Cell - Tainted Love

 

Sometimes i feel i've got to

run away i've got to

get away

from the pain that you

drive into the heart of me

the love we share

seems to go nowhere

and i've lost my light

for i toss and turn

i can't sleep at night

Once i ran to you (i ran)

now i'll run from you

this tainted love you've given

i give you all a boy could give you

take my tears and that's not nearly all

oh...tainted love

tainted love

Now i know i've got to

run away i've got to

get away

you don't really want any more from me

to make things right

you need someone to hold you tight

and you think love is to pray

but i'm sorry i don't pray that way

Once i ran to you (i ran)

now i'll run from you

this tainted love you've given

i give you all a boy could give you

take my tears and that's not nearly all

oh...tainted love

tainted love

Don't touch me please

i cannot stand the way you tease

i love you though you hurt me so

now i'm going to pack my things and go

tainted love, tainted love

touch me baby, tainted love

tainted love

Shawn Phillips - Woman

The glow around your face

when you see the lightning race

i know i'm very near

and i can hear the thunder

A woman of perplexity

a woman for eternity

a woman of the land

a woman for a man

I'm down on my knees

and i'm saying: "please believe me"

it's hard to fall out of love completely

it's harder to find a way to come back discretely

To speak of things anew
to weep in quiet blue
brocade upon your bed
memories should fade, at least of you

A sceptor of ice and fire
the spectre of my desire
a girl child of such loveliness
a woman of my emptiness

A woman of fame, renown
a woman who kicks the clown
a woman of the land
a woman for a man

Tricky - Hell is Around the Corner

I stand firm for our 
soil lick a rock on foil 
say reduce me, seduce me, 
dress me up as tootsie

hell is round the 

corner where i shelter.

Ism's and schisms,  we're 
living helter skelter if you 
believe and deceive
  common sense says shouldn't 
receive let me take you 
down the corridors of my 
life and when you walk, 
do you  walk to your preference?

No need to answer till i take   
furthur evidence i seem to 
need a reference  to get residence 
a reference to your  preference to say, 
i'm a good neighbor, i trudge, 
so judge me for labour, 
live version of the song

the bond on me ensures 
my good behavior the constant   
strum insures my insanity.

Passing the ignorance ensures   
the struggle for my family we're hungry 
beware  of our appetite distant drums 
bring the  news of a kill tonight the kill 
which i share  with my passengers 
we take our fill, take  our fill, take our fill. 

Confused by different  memories, 
details  of asian  remedies conversations,   
of what's become of enemies.

My brain thinks bomb-like,  
so i listen he's a calm type and as i grow, 
i grow collective before the move sit  on the perspective.

Mr. quaye lay in the crevice and watches 
from the precipice empirial passage heat from

the sun somedays slowly passes, until then, 
you have to live with yourself.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - The Weeping Song

Go son, go down to 

the water and see 

the women weeping 

there then go up 

into the mountains

the men, they are 

weeping too

Father, why are all the 

women weeping?

they are weeping 

for their men

then why are all the men 

there weeping?

They are weeping back at them

this is a weeping song
a song in which to weep
while all the men and women sleep
this is a weeping song
but i won't be weeping long

Father, why are all the children weeping?
they are merely crying son
o, are they merely crying, father?
yes, true weeping is yet to come

This is a weeping song
a song in which to weep
while all the men and children sleep
this is a weeping song
but i won't be weeping long

O father tell me, are you weeping?
your face seems wet to touch
o then i'm so sorry, father
i never thought i hurt you so much

This is a weeping song
a song in which to weep
while we rock ourselves to sleep
this is a weeping song
but i won't be weeping long

No i won't be weeping long
no i won't be weeping long
no i won't be weeping long

Everlast - Stone In My Hand

Ride with the devil, hide with the lord
i got no pistol, ain't got no sword
i got no army, ain't got no land,
ain't got nothing but the stone that'sin 
my hand stone in my hand, stone 
in my hand ain't got nothing but the stone that's  in my hand


You say you want a revolution, well get on board we'll start a new crusade; we'll start a holy war don't need no orders, don't need no plan i don't need nothing but the stone that's 
in my hand

 

Stone in my hand, stone in my hand
i don't need nothing but the stone that's in my hand
stone in my hand, stone in my hand
i don't need nothing but the stone that's in my hand

You build your fighter jets, you drop your bombs
you kill our fathers, you kill our moms
you kill our brother and our sisters, and our uncles and our aunts
still i'm fighting with the stone that's in my hand

Stone in my hand, stone in my hand
still i'm fighting with the stone that's in my hand
stone in my hand, stone in my hand
all the love that's in my heart and the stone that's in my hand

Blood runs in the gutters, smoke fills the sky
every son that suffers, every mother cries
so if you've had enough and you're ready for your stand
i'll be waiting with the stone that's in my hand

Stone in my hand, stone in my hand
i'll be waiting with the stone that's in my hand
stone in my hand, stone in my hand
all the love that's in my heart and the stone that's in my hand

and listen closely to what i say.

Sivert hoyem - Shadows

If I was to fall into shadows

don't you be afraid

not anymore

You see

all this don't concern me

and I'm not the same

as I was before

Oh love

closer to you

cut me from the branch

cut me from the root

The big light's on

tall shadows surround me

but like warm stones we sleep

descendants of the mother-tree

just you and me

On and on, a river-song

whispering in my bones

go back to your old ways

i'll make you whole

Dying rivers, singing streams

and dreaming of the rain

awake inside a leaden dream

you fall again, fall again, fall again

Poplar trees in the breeze

i'm blown out on a high plain

screaming in the early morn

a renegade freight train

Maybe there's another town

up around the bend waiting

a cool blue moorish sky

the forest moon already fading

The sun goes down

in a quiet seaside town

silently saying hello

staring the horizon down

Oh love

closer to you

cut me from the branch

cut me from the root

On and on to sandy shores

with the fading moon

where your dark haired love lies

you make her swoon

Far away the dying day

lies stretched out across the plain

paraders of the true cross

Return again

return again

return again

Portishead - Glory Box

I'm so tired of playing,
Playing with this bow and arrow.
Gonna give my heart away,
Leave it to the other girls to play.
For I've been a temptress too long

Just. .

Give me a reason to love you,
Give me a reason to be a woman.
I just wanna be a woman.

 

From this time, unchained,
We're all looking at a different picture
Thru this new frame of mind
A thousand flowers could bloom,
Move over and give us some room.

Give me a reason to love you,
Give me a reason to be a woman.
I just wanna be a woman.

So don't you stop being a man,
Just take a little look from our side when you can.
Sow a little tenderness
No matter if you cry.

Give me a reason to love you,
Give me a reason to be a woman.
It's all I wanna be, is all woman.

For this is the beginning of forever and ever...

Its time to move over...

The Waterboys - Church Not Made With Hands

 

Bye-bye shadowlands

The term is over

and all the holidays have begun

Now she walks in fresh fields

her tracks are on the land

She is everywhere and no place

When it's dark and evening falls

she moves among men

They would seek to have her

as a prize

But she is in the shadows

the ocean and the sand

She is everywhere and no place

Her church not made with hands

Not contained by man

She is dancing high as clouds

Faster than the arrow

as straight as any crows that flies

Accross great seas she travels

up through rising lands

She is everywhere and no place

Her church not made with hands

Not contained by man

Isn't that a pretty sun

setting in a pretty sky?

Will we stay and watch it darken?

Will we stay and watch it darken?

The church not made by hands

Not contained by man

That precious place

Unmade by man

Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight

 
It's late in the evening;
She's wondering
what clothes to wear.
She puts on her make - up
and brushes her long blonde hair.
And then she asks me
"Do I look all right?"
And I say

"Yes, you look wonderful tonight."
We go to a party 

and everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady 

that's walking around with me.

 

And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?"
And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight."
 

I feel wonderful because I see
The love light in your eyes.
And the wonder of it all Is that you just 
don't realize how much I love you.


It's time to go home now and I've got an aching head,
So I give her the car keys and she helps me to bed.
And then I tell her, as I turn out the light,
I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight.
Oh my darling, you were wonderful every night."

Tricky - Really Real

 

I don't feel

My a' love

And

I love what to say

I don't want

I don't like

I don't want

you to stay

Any love

Any one

Till you feel

Inner song

Any time

Just to mind

And I feel

Inner safe

I don’t feel

Even love 

'Cause I m luck

Without love I don't feel

I'm really real

Inner choice

Inner thought

Too much force

Can change the course

In any life

With any wife

From in my head

And lay in bed

With any heart

With any brain

And any king

This is the same

My hearts a beat

And live in street

And every king
