La Musica
Yes, I've discovered great music recently (and my old stuff remains good.) First 30 shuffled songs on my iPod... lyrics are here. Guesses?
1) There is a city by the sea, a gentle company
I don't suppose you'd want to
And as it tells its sorry tale, in harrowing detail
Its hollowness will haunt you
Los Angeles, I'm Yours - The Decemberists ~ Sophie
2) Did you read about the army officer's plea
For donor's blood? It was given willingly
By boys who took the needles in their veins
And from their bodies every drop of blood was drained
No time to comprehend and there was little pain...
3) And would you want to see
If seeing meant that
You would have to believe
In things like heaven and in Jesus and the saints
And all the prophets
One of Us- Joan Osborne ~ Sarah Eidelson
4) And now my life has changed in oh so many ways,
My independence seems to vanish in the haze.
Help! - The Beatles ~ Sophie
5) How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Blowin' in the Wind - Bob Dylan ~ Mara
6) I'm floating in a black balloon
O.D. on Easter afternooon
My mama told me, "Baby, stay clean,
there's no in between."
7) I got my heart burnt, you know where I hurt
They say the miniskirt is coming back in style
I say it's not fair but what do they care
When you've got power then you use it for a while
8) A home for fleas
A hive for bees
A nest for birds
There ain't no words
For the beauty, the splendor, the wonder
Of my...
Hair - from "Hair" ~ Mara
9) If you'll walk across my camera,
I will flash the world your story,
I will pay you more than money
10) When I was an angel I would hang out with the other angels
Bbathing in the waters of a sea of self belief.
Now that I am human I can feel my limitations
And I realise I'll never get that clean.
11) But lord knows that this world is cruel
And I ain’t the lord no I’m just a fool
Learning loving somebody
Don’t make them love you
Sitting, Waiting, Wishing - Jack Johnson ~ Erin
12) I talked for hours to your wallet photograph
And you just listened
You laughed enchanted by my intellect
Or maybe you didn't
The World Has Turned...- Weezer ~ Ben
13) Lying in the long grass
Close beside her
Giving her the name
Of the one the moon loves
14) Eyes wide open
Always hoping for the sun
And she'll sing her song to anyone
That comes along
15) Don't want to discuss it
I think it's time for a change
You may get disgusted
And think I'm strange
In that case I'll go underground
Get some heavy rest
16) Arrive without travelling
See all without looking
Do all without doing
17) Come on, oh my star is fading
And I see no chance of release
And I know I’m dead on the surface
But I am screaming underneath
18) If there's a light leave it on
If there's a way
Some how thin airs taken your place
19) La Lune trop bleme pose un diademe sur tes cheveux roux.
La lune trop rousse de gloire eclabousse ton jupon plein d'trous.
La lune trop pale caresse l'opale de tes yeux blases.
Princesse de la rue soit la bien venue dans mon coeur brise.
Complainte de la Butte - Rufus Wainwright ~ Mara
20) Fifteen years gone now
I still wander this parapet
And shake my rattle bone
Fifteen years gone now
I still cling to the petticoats
Of the girl who died with me
21) One thing I promised Mary, when she was sick
That I would one day tell her story
So, when I answer frontman Richard Pages' call
On a sunny day years later...
22) It was undeniably clear to me, I don't know why
When every other part of life seemed locked behind shutters
I knew what worthless dregs we've always been.
23) Some people say that bowling alleys got big lanes
Some people say that bowling alleys all look the same
There’s not a line that goes here that rhymes with anything
Take the Skinheads Bowling - Camper Van Beethoven ~ Sarah E.
24) Once upon a midnight dearie
I woke with something in my head
I couldn't escape the memory
Of a phone call and of what you said
25) The morning sun when it’s in your face really shows your age
But that don’t worry me none, in my eyes you’re everything
I laughed at all your jokes
My love you didn’t need to coax
26) It won't do
to stir a deep desire,
to fan a hidden fire
that can never burn true.
27) I put on my overcoat and walked into winter - my teeth chattered rhythms
And they were grouped in twos or threes, like a morse code message was sent from me to me.
Cars on slippery slopes, they're stuck... People pushing through their mittens
As i was beginning to feel it soaking through my shoes, getting colder with
Every step i took to your apartment, dear.
28) there's a place your mother goes when everybody else is soundly sleeping
through the lights of beacon street
and if you listen you can hear her weeping, she's weeping,
cause the gentlemen are calling and the snow is softly falling on her petticoats
29) Hey hey
Have you ever danced in the rain
Or thanked the sun
Just for shining- just for shining
Or the sea?
30) Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in south Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Don't Stop Believin'- Journey ~ Katrina ?!?!
Enjoy.
