Beck - Lost Cause
Your sorry eyes, they cut through bone.
They make it hard to leave you alone.
Leave you here wearing your wounds
Waving your guns at somebody new.
Baby Im a lost
Baby Im a lost
Baby Im a lost cause.
Theres too many people you used to know
They see you coming they see you go.
They know your secrets and you know theirs
This town is crazy, but nobody cares.
Baby Im a lost
Baby Im a lost
Baby Im a lost cause.
Im tired of fighting
Im tired of fighting
Fighting for a lost cause
Theres a place where you are going
You aint never been before
Theres no one laughing at your back now
No one standing at your door
Is that what you thought love was for?
Baby Im a lost
Baby Im a lost
Baby Im a lost cause
Im tired of fighting
Im tired of fighting
Fighting for a lost cause.
Long Road (Eddie Vedder with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan)
(...)
Sol deus maior
que os corações expludam
que braços se encontrem
que a vida seja vida e não apenas morte
Álcool deus menor
leva-me lá para longe
leva-me e esquece-me
eu não estou
não existo.

Move On Up - Mark Eitzel
Hush now child and don't you cry
Your folks might understand you by and by
Move on up towards your destination
You may find from time to time
Complications
Bite your lip and take a trip
Though there may be wet road ahead
You cannot slip
So move on up and peace you will find
Into the steeple of beautiful people
Where there's only one kind
So hush now child and don't you cry
Your folks might understand you by and by
Just move on up and keep on wishing
Remember your dreams are your only schemes
So keep on pushing
Take nothing less - not even second best
And do not obey - you must have your say
You can pass the test
Move on up!

Fala do espanto com que soubestes
da vinda das manhãs claras
e tu já não acreditavas
no borbulhar das plantas
no rumor dos pardais
Acredita na esperança
que escorre das árvores
(Luis Rodrigues)
Woman
You gotta be fortunate
You gotta be lucky now
I was just sitting here
Thinking good and bad
But I'm the kinda woman
That was built to last
They tried erasing me
But they couldn't wipe out my past
To save my child
I'd rather go hungry
I got all of Ethiopia
Inside of me
And my blood flows
Through every man
In this godless land
That delivered me
I've cried so many tears even the blind can see
Chorus:
This is a woman's world.
This is my world.
This is a woman's world
For this man's girl.
There ain't a woman in this world,
Not a woman or a little girl,
That can't deliver love
In a man's world.
I've born and I've bread.
I've cleaned and I've fed.
And for my healing wits
I've been called a witch.
I've crackled in the fire
And been called a liar.
I've died so many times
I'm only just coming to life.
Chorus
My blood flows
Through every man and every child
In this godless land
That delivered me
I cried so many tears even the blind can see
Eu voto Sim
Sim esclarecido
Movimento pelo Sim

Reservoir Dogs - Stuck in the middle with you
Mr. Pink: You kill anybody?
Mr. White: A few cops.
Mr. Pink: No real people?
Mr. White: Just cops.
A versão "quida"...
A versão "senão tens idade ou estômago não vejas"...
A versão "certinha"...
A versão "mete-mesmo-medinho"...

Cocorosie - Good Friday
Agora que o silêncio é um mar sem ondas,
E que nele posso navegar sem rumo,
Não respondas
Às urgentes perguntas
Que te fiz.
Deixa-me ser feliz
Assim,
Já tão longe de ti como de mim.
Perde-se a vida a desejá-la tanto.
Só soubemos sofrer, enquanto
O nosso amor
Durou.
Mas o tempo passou,
Há calmaria...
Não perturbes a paz que me foi dada.
Ouvir de novo a tua voz seria
Matar a sede com água salgada.

Cocorosie & Antony and the Johnsons - Beautiful Boyz
Há palavras que nos beijam
Como se tivessem boca,
Palavras de amor, de esperança,
De imenso amor, de esperança louca.
Palavras nuas que beijas
Quando a noite perde o rosto,
Palavras que se recusam
Aos muros do teu desgosto.
De repente coloridas
Entre palavras sem cor,
Esperadas, inesperadas
Como a poesia ou o amor.
(O nome de quem se ama
Letra a letra revelado
No mármore distraído,
No papel abandonado)
Palavras que nos transportam
Aonde a noite é mais forte,
Ao silêncio dos amantes
Abraçados contra a morte.
Alexandre O'Neill
Zero 7 - In the waiting line
(...)
Se eu pudesse trincar a terra toda
E sentir-lhe um paladar,
E se a terra fosse uma cousa para trincar
Seria mais feliz um momento...
Mas eu nem sempre quero ser feliz.
Alberto Caeiro
Cake - I'll survive
First I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
without you by my side
But I spent so many nights
thinking how you did me wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to carry on
and so you're back
from outer space
I just walked in to find you here
with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed my stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
you'd be back to bother me

Beth Gibbons - Mysteries
God knows how I adore life
When the wind turns on the shores lies another day
I cannot ask for more
When the time bell blows my heart
And I have scored a better day
Well nobody made this war of mine
And the moments that I enjoy
A place of love and mystery
I'll be there anytime
Oh mysteries of love
Where war is no more
I'll be there anytime
