Bibio - Jealous of Roses
You make remarks about the people
Who walk past your window
Arm in arm
You’re even jealous of the roses
That grow in the garden of the house
Where nobody lives
You even say there’s a time and a place
For feeling happy
You speak of love as a symptom of conformity
You even say there’s a time and a place….
You speak of love…
1 There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy
And sad of eye
But very wise
Was he
And then one day
One magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
The greatest thing
You’ll ever learn
Is just to love
And be loved in return
6 Röyksopp - Circuit Breaker
What is that vitalizing sound
Calling me
In my head
Repeatedly
What is that visionary sight
Before my eyes
So prominent
So mesmerizing turbulent
You’ve got a hold on me
Your ingenuity
Seems to be driving me down on my knees
The force you generate
You reinvigorate
Your body talks and overstates
Well I’m already drawn
Close to the divine
Intoxicating images are rushing through my mind
Embodiment of sin
Has kindled me within
Sensation seems to multiply
They’re building up inside
Cutting through the night
Radiating light
I’ve seen you move the crowd
I know what you’re about
The stories I have heard
The talk about excess
I know what people say
But surely you impress
Charismatic pill
You elevated sun
Vanity and pride
Added into one
A universal force
An automatic high
A thing I can’t control
No matter how I try
What have you done to me
This candid chemistry
Emotions running over me
And when you arch your back
Just with a stare like that
Well it’s natural to interact
Well I’m not holding back
Ready to commence
Caught up in your blizzard
So confusing and intense
Synergy of two
Energy gone wild
See the stars align
To spell your name out in the sky
Never seen a sight
So fascinating right
A symmetry between
Dirty and pristine
Calling out so loud
Beautiful and true
Mystery about
Everything you do
Charismatic drug
You elevated sun
Vanity and pride
Added into one
A universal force
An autonomic high
A thing I can’t control
No matter how I try
This electricity
Injected into me
Emotions running over me
And when you’re getting close
You touch my innermost
A feeling deep inside me knows
Wonders of deligtht
Cutting through the night
Known you got it all
I can’t do without
Burning in my veins
Ripping through my soul
I’ll never be the same
A secret can’t be told
Charismatic pill
You elevated sun
Vanity and pride
Added into one
A universal force
An autonomic high
A thing I can’t control
No matter how I try
3 Foremost Poets - Open Seasons
:) :) :)
David Sylvian - I Surrender
I opened up the pathway of the heart
The flowers died embittered from the start
That night i crossed the bridge of sighs and i surrendered
I looked back and glimpsed the outline of a boy
His life of sorrows now collapsing into joy
And tonight the stars are all aligned and i surrender
My mother cries beneath a southern sky and i surrender
Recording angels and the poets of the night
Bring back the trophies of the battles that we fight
Searchlights fill the open skies and i surrender
Outrageous cries of love have called me back
Derailed the trains of thought, demolished wayward tracks
You tell me i’ve no need to wonder why i just surrender
I stand too close to see the sleight of hand
How she found this child inside the frightened man
Tonight i’m learning how to fly and i surrender
I’ve travelled all this way for your embrace
Enraptured by the recognition on your face
Hold me now while my old life dies tonight and i surrender
My mother cries beneath the open skies and i surrender
An ancient evening just before the fall
The light in your eyes, the meaning of it all
Birds fly and fill the summer skies and i surrender
She throws the burning books into the sea
“Come find the meaning of the word inside of me”
It’s alright the stars are all aligned and i surrender
My mother cries beneath the moonlit skies and i surrender
My body turns to ashes in her hands
The disappearing world of footprints in the sand
Tell me now that this love will never die and i’ll surrender
My mother cries beneath the open skies and i surrender
7 UNKLE - Reign ft. Ian Brown
I am the lightning, i am the heat
I am the rain, rain oh, rain oh, reign all day
I am the rain
I’m gonna reign this way again
I am the rain
I am the spy
Before the blade
I am the raindrop out I see I cause
The ripples that becoming the crashing waves
I am the rain, rain oh, rain oh, reign all day
I am the rain
You thought a different day had come
A day you thought the earth was done
And if you could have said it all
I know you would have said it all
You thought a different day had come
A day you thought the earth was done
And if you could have said it all
I know you would have said it all
I am the rain
I’m gonna reign this way again (reign this way again)
I am the rain, rain oh, rain oh, reign all day
You thought a different day had come
A day you thought the earth was done
I am the rain
And if you could have said it all
I know you would have said it all
I am the rain
Ladytron - Versus
Distance versus time
cutting versus down to size
focus versus tears
versus how did i get here’s
versus curses in your eyes
force of nature versus rage
nature versus odd or strange
theres a fire starting here
versus theres nothing to fear
versus lonely versus safe
like a kitten versus rain
a cathedral versus love versus shame
see versus out to sea (or sea vs out to see?)
versus, versus, versus me
versus me
Massive Attack - Psyche
…No reason or rhyme, by chance or design
Just a dance to the music of time…
Bryan Ferry (Albert Sanchez, 1987)
Roxy Music - Out Of the Blue
All you cares
Now they seem
Oh so far away
All your fears
I fear I once shared
Now I know
There’s a future
For all of us
Not so long ago
I was so scared
You seemed so sad
I could see
Through your twisted smile
So unsure
Always confused
Pale blue eyes
Gazing down
From your ivory tower
Through the haze
All broken and bruised
Then: out of the blue
Love came rushing in
Out of the sky
Came the sun
Out of left field
Came a lucky day
Out of the blue
No more pain
I don’t mind
If it’s only
A passing craze
Throwaway lines
Often ring true
If I were you
I would stay
For a little while
I you were me
Would you walk out
In style?
