THE PSYCHEDELIC FURS

until she comes




until she comes again
i can hear the things she said
i feel no thoughts to move my head
until she comes again

and with her step, i move my feet
and with her hand, i feel my skin
and with her need, i find i'm saved
and with her dreams, i'm laid

until she comes again
the sun goes out and night comes in
the time goes round and day grows dim
until she comes again

and with her step, i move my feet
and with her hand, i feel my skin
and with her need, i find i'm saved
and with her dreams, i'm laid

until she comes
until she comes

until she comes again
with all my savings and my sins
there's no good reason to begin
until she comes again

and with her step, i move my feet
and with her hand, i feel my skin
and with her need, i find i'm saved
and with her dreams, i'm laid

until she comes
until she comes

until she comes again
with all her dreams tied in her hand
there is no why to understand
until she comes again

until she comes again
the sun goes out and night comes in
the time goes round
and day grows dim
until she comes again

THE WATERBOYS

december


December is the cruelest month
but this time for once my cheeks are warm
After long years in the monkey-house
I am ready for the storm
Let them throw all their cannonballs
let all their strongmen come
I'm ready to go anywhere
through venom, sick and scum!

December is a trusted friend
I always recognise her face
It's a plague of fool blown aside forever
by her soft and silent grace
She is reckless as a Mayday
gentle as a stone she ready to go anywhere
to carry me back home!

December fell deep in the bleak
mid-winter time when Jesus Christ
Howled saviour's a baby howl
a primal truth as pure as ice
And though we crucified him on a cross
and dragged his words from payer to curse
He was able to go anywhere
He was almost one of us!

He was almost one of us!


MORCHEEBA

otherwise



They wanted me here

Just to show you my face
But when it comes to the crunch
I just hide in disgrace
You're calling me mad
But i know you're the same
Cause you got to be seen to be playing the game
Yes we got to be seen to be playing, the game

It ain't gonna hurt now
If you open up your eyes
You're making it worse now
Everytime you criticise
I'm under your curse now
But I call it compromise
I thought that you were wise
But you were otherwise

A specimen like you
I would love to obtain
I asked a tedious guy if he'd tell me your name
I'd love to impress you
With a back sumersault
I wanna take up your love
But it's locked in a vault
I wanna take up your love
But it's locked in a vault

It ain't gonna hurt now
If you open up your eyes
You're making it worse now
Everytime you criticise
I'm under your curse now
But I call it compromise
I thought that you were wise
But you were otherwise

When i open my mouth
I'm so brutally honest
And i can't expect that kind of love from you
When you open your mouth
Your teeth are beautifully polished
And i can't extract the pain you're going through
No i can't explain
The pain you're going through

It ain't gonna hurt now
If you open up your eyes
You're making it worse now
Everytime you womanise
I'm under your curse now
But I call it compromise
I'm under your curse

It ain't gonna hurt now
If you open up your eyes
You're making it worse now
Everytime you criticise
I'm under your curse now
But I call it compromise
I thought that you were wise
But you were otherwise

do they know it's christmas

THE CURE

friday I'm in love


I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday I don't care about you
it's Friday I'm in love

Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday Wednesday break my heart
Thursday doesn't even start
it's Friday I'm in love

Saturday wait
and Sunday always comes too late
but Friday never hesitate

I don't care if Monday's black
Tuesday Wednesday heart attack
Thursday never looking back
it's Friday I'm in love

Monday you can hold your head
Tuesday Wednesday stay in bed
Oh Thursday watch the walls instead
it's Friday I'm in love

Saturday wait
and Sunday always comes too late
but Friday never hesitate

dressed up to the eyes
it's a wonderful surprise
to see your shoes and your spirits rise
throwing out your frown
and just smiling at the sound
and as sleek as a shriek
spinning round and round
always take a big bite
it's such a gorgeous sight
to see you eat in the middle of the night
you can never get enough
enough of this stuff
it's Friday
I'm in love!


ROBERT WYATT

free will and testament


Given free will but within certain limitations,
I cannot will myself to limitless mutations,
I cannot know what I would be if I were not me,
I can only guess me.

So when I say that I know me, how can I know that?
What kind of spider understands arachnophobia?
I have my senses and my sense of having senses.
Do I guide them? Or they me?

The weight of dust exceeds the weight of settled objects.
What can it mean, such gravity without a centre?
What can it mean, such gravity without a centre?
Is there freedom to un-be?
Is there freedom from will-to-be?

Sheer momentum makes us act this way or that way.
We just invent or just assume a motivation.
I would disperse, be disconnected. Is this possible?
What are soldiers without a foe?

Be in the air, but not be air, be in the no air.
Be on the loose, neither compacted nor suspended.
Neither born nor left to die.

Had I been free, I could have chosen not to be me.
Demented forces push me madly round a treadmill.
Demented forces push me madly round a treadmill.
Let me off please, I am so tired.
Let me off please, I am so very tired.



John Cale > The soul of Carmen Miranda



Since the soul of Carmen Miranda
had captured the mind of man
Dismissed with her generation
for the price of a can-can
Consigned to the sideshows of history,
with the patronized orphans of film
She seeded the bait
and offered the faint hope of chance to innocent men
In love with the trance of her dances
And abandoned by them
And abandoned by them

She called in the boys
She remembered their names,
and the sorry condition they came in
The dances were soiled,
they spun and recoiled
From the master tapdancer inside them,
beside them

The soul of Carmen Miranda
had captured the mind of man
Dismissed with her generation
for the price of a can-can
The soul of Carmen Miranda
for the price of a can-can
The soul of Carmen Miranda
for the price of a can-can


JOY DIVISION > Love will tear us apart


When routine bites hard and ambitions are low
and resentment rides high but emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways, taking different roads

Then love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again

Why is the bedroom so cold?
You've turned away on your side
Is my timing that flawed? Our respect runs so dry
Yet there's still this appeal that we've kept through our lives

But love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again

You cry out in your sleep, all my failings exposed
And there's tast in my mouth as desperation takes hold
Just that something so good just can't function no more

But love, love wil tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again

JOY DIVISION > Atmosphere



Walk in silence,
Don't walk away, in silence.
See the danger,
Always danger,
Endless talking,
Life rebuilding,
Don't walk away.

Walk in silence,
Don't turn away, in silence.
Your confusion,
My illusion,
Worn like a mask of self-hate,
Confronts and then dies.
Don't walk away.

People like you find it easy,
Naked to see,
Walking on air.
Hunting by the rivers,
Through the streets,
Every corner abandoned too soon,
Set down with due care.
Don't walk away in silence,
Don't walk away.


JOY DIVISION > Transmission


Radio, live transmission.
Radio, live transmission.
Listen to the silence, let it ring on.
Eyes, dark grey lenses frightened of the sun.
We would have a fine time living in the night,
Left to blind destruction,
Waiting for our sight.

And we would go on as though nothing was wrong.
And hide from these days we remained all alone.
Staying in the same place, just staying out the time.
Touching from a distance,
Further all the time.

Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio.

Well I could call out when the going gets tough.
The things that we've learnt are no longer enough.
No language, just sound, that's all we need know, to
synchronise
love to the beat of the show.

And we could dance.

Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio.


JOY DIVISION > Shadowplay



To the centre of the city where all roads meet,
waiting for you,
To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank,
searching for you,
I was moving through the silence without motion,
waiting for you,
In a room with a window in the corner I found truth.

In the shadowplay, acting out your own death,
knowing no more,
As the assassins all grouped in four lines,
dancing on the floor,
And with cold streel,
odour on their bodies mad a move to connect,
But I could only stare in disbelief
as the crowds all left.

I did everything, everything I wanted to,
I let them use you for their own ends,
To the centre of the city in the night,
waiting for you.
To the centre of the city in the night,
waiting for you.

Ay Candela, Candela, Candela me quemo ae
Ay Candela, Candela, Candela me quemo ae

Puso un baile una jutía, para una gran diversión
de timbalero un ratón que alegraba el campo un día
Un gato también venía elegante y placentero
buenas noches compañero siempre fijo hacia el timbal
para ahi el tipo de tocar para descansar un poco
salió el ratón medio loco, también voy a descansar
y el gato en su buen bailar, bailaba un danzón liviano
el ratón se sube a guano y dice bien placentero

Y ahora si quieren bailar busquen otro timbalero

Ay Candela, Candela, Candela me quemo aé
Ay Candela, Candela, Candela me quemo aé
Ay Candela, Candela, Candela me quemo aé

Oye faustino Oramas y su compañero necesito

La mujer cuando de agacha (me quemo aé)
Se le abre el entendimiento (me quemo aé)
La mujer cuando de agacha (me quemo aé)
Se le abre el entendimiento (me quemo aé)
Y el hombre cuando la mira (me quemo aé)

De ti me gusta una cosa (me quemo aé)
Sin que me cueste trabajo (me quemo aé)
De ti me gusta una cosa (me quemo aé)

De la barriga pa' arriba (me quemo aé)
De la cintura pa' abajo (me quemo aé)

THE POGUES > Dirty old town


I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
Kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
Clouds a drifting across the moon
Cats a prowling on their beat
Spring's a girl from the streets at night
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
Heard a siren from the docks
Saw a train set the night on fire
I Smelled the spring on the smoky wind
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
I'm going to make me a big sharp axe
Shining steel tempered in the fire
Will chop you down like an old dead tree
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
