Well, I wish I was a catfish,
swimmin in a oh, deep, blue sea
I would have all you good lookin women,
fishin, fishin after me
Sure 'nough, a-after me
Sure 'nough, a-after me
Oh 'nough, oh 'nough, sure 'nough
I went to my baby's house,
and I sit down oh, on her steps.
She said, "Now, come on in now, Muddy
You know, my husband just now left
Sure 'nough, he just now left
Sure 'nough, he just now left"
Sure 'nough, oh well, oh well
Well, my mother told my father,
just before hmmm, I was born,
"I got a boy child's comin,
He's gonna be, he's gonna be a rollin stone,
Sure 'nough, he's a rollin stone
Sure 'nough, he's a rollin stone"
Oh well he's a, oh well he's a, oh well he's a
Well, I feel, yes I feel,
feel that I could lay down oh, time ain't long
I'm gonna catch the first thing smokin,
back, back down the road I'm goin
Back down the road I'm goin
Back down the road I'm goin
Sure 'nough back, sure 'nough back

It's always now
And nothing ever goes away
Everything is here to stay
And it's always now
It's always now
There never was a used to be
Everything is still with me
And it;s alawys now
So brace your heart
Save yourself some sanity
It's more than just a memory
And it's always now
And here's your part
Sing it like a melody
There's really only you and me
And it's always now
So brace your heart
Save yourself some sanity
It's more than just a memory
And it's always now
And here's your part
Sing it like a melody
There's really only you and me
And it's always now
There's really only you and me
And it's always now
Coldplay -Violet Hill
:::::::::COLDPLAY:::::::::
Was a long and dark December
From the rooftops I remember
There was snow
White snow
Clearly I remember
' From the windows they were watching
While we froze down below
When the future's architectured
By a carnival of idiots on show
You'd better lie low
If you love me
Won't you let me know?
Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
And the fog
Became God
Priests clutched onto bibles
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
And the cross was held aloft
Bury me in honor
When I'm dead and hit the ground
A love back home unfolds
If you love me
Won't you let me know?
I don't want to be a soldier
With the captain of some sinking ship
With snow, far below
So if you love me
Why'd you let me go?
I took my love down to violet hill
There we sat in snow
All that time she was silent still
So if you love me
Won't you let me know?
Won't you let me know?

Trouble - The Skull
Από το The Skull των Trouble -1985
This is my body
my sacrifice to you
this is my blood
which shall be shed for your sins
i have come to be the light of the world
not to judge but to save all of you
As darkness sets,
the agony begins
one of you will betray me with a kiss of death
pray that you may not enter into temptation
God gives me strength, I`m going to be crucified
A crown of thorns
and disgraced by scourge
I took up my cross
had to carry it to the skull
do not weep for me, but for you
and your children
Father forgive them for they know not what they do.
Why did we turn our backs on him
how could we let it happen
just stood and stared at the man on the cross
the time will come when we must face life alone.
You got to make up your mind
for what you know is right
let`s not be another face in the crowd
we can do it together
Let us pray
for those who crucify - Christ have mercy
for fools who follow fools - Christ have mercy
for those who walk in darkness - Christ have mercy
and for all of you - Christ will come again.

Spoon - Don't You Evah
/*/*/*/*/*
Bet you got it all planned, right
Bet you never worry, never even feel a fright
Bet you got it all planned, right
Never fit to worry, never even feel a fright
Single sleeps alone and I know you don't really mind
Five years by your side, so I know you really don't mind
But don't you nevah
Be down
I said don't evah
'Cause it's gonna keep him hanging around
Nevah
Be down
I said don't evah
Because it's gonna keep him hanging around
Bet you never think it's right
Bet you think you have to but it doesn't feel right
Bet you never think it feels right
Famous-sounding words make your head feel light
Petals getting picked with the love-yous and the love-you-nots
Five years going by, everyone is staying on their side
But don't you nevah
Be down
I said don't evah
'Cause it's gonna keep him hanging around
Nevah
Be down
I said don't evah
Because it's gonna keep him hanging around
But don't you nevah
Be down
I said don't evah
'Cause it's gonna keep him hanging around
Nevah
Be down
I said don't evah
Because it's gonna keep him hanging around
Five years going by, everyone is staying on their side
Five years going by, everyone is staying on their side
Bet you got it all planned, right
Bet you never worry, never even feel a fright
Bet you got it all planned, right
Never fit to worry, never even feel a fright

Michael Schenker - Money
Το Money των Pink Floyd είναι ανάμεσα στις διασκευές που ακούγονται στο νέο LP του Michael Schenker, "Doctor, Doctor: The Kulick Sessions".
Money, get away.
Get a good job with good pay and youre okay.
Money, its a gas.
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think Ill buy me a football team.
Money, get back.
Im all right jack keep your hands off of my stack.
Money, its a hit.
Dont give me that do goody good bullshit.
Im in the high-fidelity first class traveling set
And I think I need a lear jet.
Money, its a crime.
Share it fairly but dont take a slice of my pie.
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today.
But if you ask for a raise its no surprise that theyre
Giving none away.
Huhuh! I was in the right!
Yes, absolutely in the right!
I certainly was in the right!
You was definitely in the right. that geezer was cruising for a
Bruising!
Yeah!
Why does anyone do anything?
I dont know, I was really drunk at the time!
I was just telling him, he couldnt get into number 2. he was asking
Why he wasnt coming up on freely, after I was yelling and
Screaming and telling him why he wasnt coming up on freely.
It came as a heavy blow, but we sorted the matter out

this kind of journey just means nothing to me
I'll find my way back cause its easy you see
this separation still means nothing to me, ohh

Story Of The Year - Wake Up
Στις 22 Απριλίου κυκλοφορούν το νέο τους άλμπουμ The Black Swan οι Story Of The Year. Πρώτο single το Wake Up.
///////////////
We are alive for a moment
one second in the great abyss of time
all the bleeding and all the hate
just one blink of an eye
all the conflict
visits dire pain on human life
are we missing what it is to be alive?
one by one the pieces fall
until our pride defeats us all
or we learn to live without it
WAKE UP - to the sound of this time bomb
WAKE UP - to it's deafening song
WAKE UP - cause you don't know what you've got
until it's gone
our innocence is a virtue
but our arrogance will only leave us blind,
unattended
without anyone to save our idle lives
will we find out
that everything we know exists inside
of a fraction of a fraction
and one by one the pieces fall again
WAKE UP - to the sound of this time bomb
WAKE UP - to it's deafening song
WAKE UP - cause you don't know what you've got
until it's gone
one by one the pieces fall
until our pride defeats us all
WAKE UP - to the sound of this time bomb
WAKE UP - to it's deafening song
WAKE UP - cause you don't know what you've got
until it's gone

Jacques Brel - Amsterdam
79 χρόνια συμπληρώνονται σήμερα από τη γέννηση του μεγάλου Jacques Brel, στις 8 Απριλίου του 1929. Ανάμεσα στα υπέροχα τραγούδια που μας άφησε και το Amsterdam που διασκεύασε καταπληκτικά ο David Bowie
Amsterdam
Dans le port d`Amsterdam
Y a des marins qui chantent
Les rêves qui les hantent
Au large d`Amsterdam
Dans le port d`Amsterdam
Y a des marins qui dorment
Comme des oriflammes
Le long des berges mornes
Dans le port d`Amsterdam
Y a des marins qui meurent
Pleins de bière et de drames
Aux premières lueurs
Mais dans le port d`Amsterdam
Y a des marins qui naissent
Dans la chaleur épaisse
Des langueurs océanes
Dans le port d`Amsterdam
Y a des marins qui mangent
Sur des nappes trop blanches
Des poissons ruisselants
Ils vous montrent des dents
A croquer la fortune
A décroisser la lune
A bouffer des haubans
Et ça sent la morue
Jusque dans le coeur des frites
Que leurs grosses mains invitent
A revenir en plus
Puis se lèvent en riant
Dans un bruit de tempête
Referment leur braguette
Et sortent en rotant
Dans le port d`Amsterdam
Y a des marins qui dansent
En se frottant la panse
Sur la panse des femmes
Et ils tournent et ils dansent
Comme des soleils crachés
Dans le son déchiré
D`un accordéon rance
Ils se tordent le cou
Pour mieux s`entendre rire
Jusqu`à ce que tout à coup
L`accordéon expire
Alors le geste grave
Alors le regard fier
Ils ramènent leur batave
Jusqu`en pleine lumière
Dans le port d`Amsterdam
Y a des marins qui boivent
Et qui boivent et reboivent
Et qui reboivent encore
Ils boivent à la santé
Des putains d`Amsterdam
De Hambourg ou d`ailleurs
Enfin ils boivent aux dames
Qui leur donnent leur joli corps
Qui leur donnent leur vertu
Pour une pièce en or
Et quand ils ont bien bu
Se plantent le nez au ciel
Se mouchent dans les étoiles
Et ils pissent comme je pleure
Sur les femmes infidèles
Dans le port d`Amsterdam
Dans le port d`Amsterdam.
