Walking alone tonight
'Cause I've only got room for two.
Me and my burdened black heart,
It's all we know how to do.

Yet I look for a bigger bang
Than the kind I continually see.
Sick of all this inertia,
I want a human "BEING"!

Lover, can you help me?
I'm a child lost in the woods.
A black heart pollutes me
And I think...

You're a mountain that I'd like to climb,
Not to conquer, but to share in the view.

Pulled by a false inertia,
Pushed out by circumstance.
Pistol firing at my feet
That's coercing me to dance.

Yet I look for a bigger bang
Than the kind I'm sorry to know.
Here I am, first foot of the climb.
Watch me go.

Lover, can you help me?
I'm a child lost in the woods.
A lit path eludes me
And I think...

You're a mountain that I'd like to climb,
Not to conquer, but to share in the view.
You're a bonfire and I'm gathered 'round you.
Set this old black heart inertia aflame.
Send it away... (8X)

You're a mountain that I'd like to climb,
Not to conquer, but to share in the view.
You're a bonfire and I'm gathered 'round you.
Set this old black heart inertia aflame.

Set it aflame, send it away... (6X)

Baby
Gimme a sign
A message coming throug
With all we're
Leaving behind
I miss you
I want to know about you
I want to live around you
But it's easy to worry here
Oh I hope I don't disappear
I know, yeah, I know
But I'm leaving it up to you
Yeah baby
Yeah baby
I needed some time
To figure out my shit
Still walking
Through the mines
Explosions never far
I want to know about you
I want to live around you
But it's easy to worry here
Oh I hope I don't disappear
I know, yeah, I know
I know we'll have to choose
Is there anything left to lose?
Yeah baby, yeah baby
When you're gone
I know it's so hard
I know if you come to me
I can make us happy
Yeah baby
I'm here inside
I need to tell you something
Put your hand in mine
I want your name baby
I don't know your name anymore
I don't know your name anymore
I never knew your name before
Yeah, baby

Thin Lizzy - Massacre

Από το πρόσφατα κυκλοφορήσαν ζωντανό άλμπουμ των Thin Lizzy - Still Dangerous που προέρχεται από τις συναυλίες τους στο Tower Theatre της Philadelphia στις 20 & 21 Οκτωβρίου 1977.

At a point below zero
There's no place left to go
Six hundred unknown heroes
Were killed like sleeping buffalo

Through the devil's canyon
Across the battlefield
Death has no companion
The spirit is forced to yield

There goes the bandolero
Through the hole in the wall
He's a coward but doesn't care though
In fact, he doesn't care at all

The general that's commanding
He's defending what he fears
While the troops they are depending
On reinforcements from the rear

If God is in the heavens
How can this happen here?
In His name, they used the weapons
For the massacre

There is a point below zero
Where the sun can see the land
Six hundred unknown heroes
Lay dead in the sand

------------------

The end is near.
The end is near, the time has come:
There ain’t no way–
Nobody will save you now.

The end is near,
The end is near. The time has come:
Don’t even think
That there’s a way out of this.

Down the road and up the creek: it’s over.
It’s such a clear and certain hell of
thing: it’s over.

“You’re on your own.”
You’re on your own. Once upon a time
(the other night),
you couldn’t do nothing right,

“I’m on my own,”
you said to yourself down on your
luck, woe is me,
etc.: lonely. See,
the worst times weren’t so bad,
compared to this. Though
that ain’t much comfort. I might try to
reminisce. No.

The end is near,
The end is near, the time has come.
Don’t even think.
That there’s a way out of this:

The end is near.
The end is near. The time has come.
There ain’t no way;
There’s nothing will save us now.

Το δεύτερο σινγκλ από το νέο άλμπουμ των Dave Matthews Band - Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King, που κυκλοφόρησε στις 2 Ιουνίου θα κυκλοφορήσει στις 13 Ιουλιου ακολουθώντας το Funny the Way It Is.

I grew from monkey into man
then I crushed fifteen million with a wave of my hand
I grew drunk on water turned into wine
Till I was slave and master at the same damn time

It's why i am
why i am
why i am
Still here dancing with the GrooGrux King

Out of my head and into the womb. Hello
A king of men it makes no sense
When I bow to the priest while I worship the witch

But it's why I am
always the one to make you smile
Why I am
still snake in the woodpile
It's Why I am
still here dancing with the GrooGrux King

Out of my head and into the womb
So will my ghost takes me from you
You can remember the fool that I am
Dont cry baby don't cry
The lose and the win of the world
Wrong and right, us and them of the world
It's the you and the me of the world
Only one way out of the world

Its the lose and the win of the world
Wrong and right, us and them of the world
It's the you and the me of the world
Only one way out of the world

(Tim Reynolds solo)

Its why I am
unlikely to agree
Why I am
climbin out of my monkey tree
Why I am
still here dancin with the GrooGrux King
we'll be drinkin Big Whiskey while we dance and sing
and when my story ends its gonna end with him
Heaven or Hell I'm goin there with the GrooGrux King
Its Why i am
the apple of your pretty eye
Why I am
a snake in the woodpile
Why I am
still here dancin with the GrooGrux King

out of my head an into the womb
so will my ghost takes me from you
you can remember the fool that I am
Dont cry baby don't cry

John Vanderslice - Forest Knolls

Στις 19 Μαΐου ο John Vanderslice κυκλοφόρησε το Romanian Names μέσα στο οποίο βρίσκεται το Forest Knolls.

we were unprepared
by rights we should have been aware
with bow and flint and arrow
there were three deer outside the window

my father's father would've known
how to pull that wire and steady the bow
send that arrow into her beating heart
how to cut her and use every part

we've got food for weeks and weeks
and all that blood would find its way to the carpet
sitting there I couldn't shake that guilt
as the deer walked free up the hill

Couldn’t live without you when I tried to roam
Put me by the window, let me see outside
Looking at the places where all my family died

he stumbled into faith and thought,
this is all there is
the pictures in his mind arose
and began to breathe
and all the gods in all the worlds
began colliding on a backdrop of blue

blue lips
blue veins

he took a step but then felt tired
he said, I'll rest a little while
but when he tried to walk again
he wasn't a child
and all the people hurried past
real fast and no one ever smiled

blue lips
blue veins
blue, the color of the planet from far, far away

he stumbled into faith and thought,
this is all there is
the pictures in his mind arose
and began to breathe
and no one saw and no one heard
they just followed lead
the pictures in his mind awoke
and began to breed

they started off beneath the knowledge tree
then they chopped it down to make white picket fences
they marched along the railroad tracks
and smiled real wide for the camera lenses
they made it past the enemy lines
just to become enslaved in the assembly lines

blue lips
blue veins
blue, the color of the planet from far, far away...

blue...the most human color...

blue lips
blue veins
blue, the color of our planet from far, far away...

The Sounds - Beatbox

Στις 2 Ιουνίου κυκλοφόρησαν το τρίτο τους άλμπουμ Crossing the Rubicon οι Σουηδοί The Sound μέσα στο οποίο βρίσκεται το Beatbox.

Wake up one day with a song in my head
In the basement a beatbox on my bed
Silver frame, claim to fame
Never made them quite the same
So I tip tap toe tapping down the street
On my way I saw Tony The Beat
This is the time to lose control
Everybody's here come on let's roll!

[Chorus]
So turn it up and break it down
Come on bring that beatbox back
Tell me do you feel it?
So turn it up and break it down
Come on bring that beatbox back
Tell me do you feel it? Hey!

Late that night I saw a woman in red
"Hey there honey!" that's what she said
Tried to move my feet up and down
But the DJ sucked I'm stuck to the ground
I wanna dance, dance to the beat
that's all I want that's all I need
This is the time to lose control
Everybody's here come on let's go!

[Chorus]

Yeah you know that you want it
'cause you can't deny it
Yeah you know that you want it
so don't even try it
And that's what I said now it's up to you
(Hey Schoolly, Thanks for the Hi-Hat!)
So turn it up, So turn it up, and break it down

[Chorus]

Yeah you know that you want it
'cause you can't deny it
Yeah you know that you want it
so don't even try it
Come on bring that beatbox back
So turn it up and break it down
Come on bring that beatbox
back, back, b-back, back!
So turn it up and break it down
Come on bring that beatbox
back, back, b-back, back!
Come on bring that beatbox back

Lacrimosa - Die Sehnsucht In Mir

Από το νέο άλμπουμ των Lacrimosa, Sehnsucht που κυκλοφόρησε στις 9 Μαΐου.

Versucht erneut versucht
Bin ich still starr und erstaunt
Und ein wenig, ja
Ein wenig beseelt
Ich schwebe über die zahme See
Kann das frische Nass
Auf meinen Füssen schier erahnen

Erlesen bist Du
Dass solches Du kannst schaffen
Und sieh' ich blute nicht mehr
Gleichwohl schwerelos
So ruhen meine Blicke auf Dir
Und ich fühle einen Hauch von Frieden

Und so ziehst Du weiter und das Bild verweht
Alles löst sich auf
Nichts bleibt zurück

Alleine die Stille bleibt bestehen
Und die Ruhe wird beängstigend
Lethargie und Einsamkeit begleiten sie
Und ich winde mich in mich hinein
Und der Sturm zieht auf
Peitscht die Wellen auf

Könnte ich mich doch erheben
Und noch einmal zu Dir sehen
Und ich spräche, ich würde sagen:
Du bist hier
Jetzt ist alles gut

When sanskrit was my mother tongue
Scarabs filled my pillow
Tarmac strips to pave for them
And thrones from which to teach
And in that pulse the future said
The story had been spun
You wet your bed so sleep in it
Cards can't make a house

And up that hill go the last of my crumbs
We'll be lucky if we eat tonight
And up that hill go the last of my crumbs
That’s why I'll magnify a hole...

When light years came
And light years passed
Tugging on the brink
Spoils reported missing
Put down in its sleep
Strangled in the background
Fitted for a mask
The future won't believe you
Past the ransom fast

And up that hill go the last of my crumbs
We'll be lucky if we eat tonight
And up that hill go the last of my crumbs
That’s why I'll magnify a hole...

Don't beat around the pulpit
There is no lost and found
Where is the devil waiting
Trying to disguise...
I've seen what you used to look like
But down here you won't survive

I've got the weight of half of the world
Don't stop dragging the lake
I won't come home
If you can't come home
Even if you make a grave with my name
You better keep on looking for me

Elvis Costello - Sulphur to Sugarcane

Η συνεργασία με τον T-Bone Burnett οδηγεί τον Elvis Costello στα μονοπάτια της Americana, που κυριαρχεί στο Secret, Profane And Sugarcane απ'όπου προέρχεται και το Sulphur to Sugarcane.

It's not very far from Sulphur to Sugarcane
'Cos everywhere I travel pretty girls call my name
I give ‘em as squeeze and they shoot me a wink
I buy their hot-headed husbands a long cool drink
You'd better come up smelling sweet 'cos you're a long time stinking
Then it's a little too late to complain
It's not very far from Sulphur to Sugarcane
Now if you catch my eye and you find that it runs down your leg
It's like striking a match pretty hard upon a powder keg
They'll tell you from the borders to the waters in the Gulf
And if you take all the sugar you'll end up in the sulphur
And you'll burn in...
"Hello, baby I'm a pleased to meet you"
"I wouldn't do you wrong, honey"
"I wouldn't cheat you, honey'"
"When can I see you again?"
"Wrap you up in cellophane"
It's not very far from Sulphur to Sugarcane...
It's not very far from Sulphur to Sugarcane...
And your eyes fill up with brine
Because you're drowning in wine
It's like the last days of Rome
With the despots and divine
There's no place like home
For a little doll from China
It's a little too late to complain
It's not very far from Sulphur to Sugarcane
You can go west to Texas
Go east to Mississippi
You can run out of money
You can run out of pity
Throw open your purse
Until you're crying for mercy
Go to Alabama
Escape Louisiana
I'm digging like a miner
North and South Carolina
And then if you continue
You will end up in Virginia
The woman in Poughkeepsie
Take their clothes off when they're tipsy
But in Albany, New York
They love the filthy way I talk
As they gargle with the finest champagne
When they can't get the grape or the grain
'Cos it's not very far from Sulphur to Sugarcane
If I could find a piano
Here in Bloomington, Indiana
I would play it with my toes
Until the girls all take their clothes off
Woman knock upon my door
In odd and even numbers
But none of them as wild as I discovered in Columbus
I gave up married women
'Cause I heard it was a sin
But now I'm back in Pittsburgh,
I might take them up again
Because they gargle with the finest champagne
When they can't get the grape or the grain
'Cos it's not very far from Sulphur to Sugarcane
Up in Syracuse
I was once falsely accused
But I'm not here to hurt you
I'mhere to steal your
Down in Bridgeport
The woman will kill you for sport
But inWorcester, Massachusetts
They just love my sauce
The woman in Poughkeepsie
Take their clothes off when they're tipsy
But I hear in Ypsilanti
They don't wear any panties...
Once they gargle with the finest champagne
They hitch up their skirts and exclaim
It's not very far, Sugar
It's not very far, Sugar
It's not very far from Sulphur to Sugarcane

falling in your, falling in your arms
fish on a line, learns to live on dry land
thrown back again to drown
kinder with poison
than pushed down a well - or a face burnt to hell
feel the cruel stones breaking her bones
dead before born
words fall in ruins - but no sound
she's dying of your shame - she maimed by your paw

he gives birth to swimming horses

fish on a line, walking on dry land
but, back in the water to drown we drown
floating in sky

he gives birth to swimming horses

take a ride on the tide with the assassin at your side
the weightlessness under water -- forgets in slow motion
& washes pointless tortures

he gives birth to swimming horses

floating in sky like fishes can fly through your arms

Κasabian - Fire

Νέο σινγκλ από το West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum των Kasabian. Το West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum κυκλοφόρησε στις 7 Ιουνίου.

Take me into the night
And I'm an easy lover
Take me into the fight
And I'm an easy brother
And I'm on fire

Burn my sweet effigy
I'm a road runner
Spill my guts on a wheel
I wanna taste uh-huh
And I'm on fire
And I'm on fire

And I'm on fire
I'm on fire
Whoo Whoo
Whoo Whoo

Wire me up to machines
I'll be your prisoner
Find it hard to believe
You are my murderer
I'm on fire, look behind you
There's a falling sky

I'm on fire
I'm on fire
Whoo Whoo
Whoo Whoo

I'm on fire
I'm on fire
Whoo Whoo
Whoo Whoo

Το ομώνυμο από το νέο άλμπουμ των Manic Street Preachers, Journal for Plague Lovers που κυκλοφορεί από τις 18 Μαΐου.

Pretend prayer
Pretend care
Makes everything seem so fair
These perfect abattoirs
These perfect actors
These perfect abattoirs

Only a god can bruise
Only a god can soothe
Only a god reserves the right
To forgive those that revile him
Only a god can bruise
Only a god can soothe
Only a god reserves the right
To forgive those that revile him

Oh, such love
Sweet stimulus
PG certificate and cuts unfocused
Stitches and wounds
Doctored divinity
So much love there's blind affinity

Only a god can bruise
Only a god can soothe
Only a god reserves the right
To forgive those that revile him
Only a god can bruise
Only a god can soothe
Only a god reserves the right
To forgive those that revile him

Only a god can bruise
Only a god can soothe
Only a god reserves the right
To forgive those that revile him

Green Day - Know Your Enemy

Πολύ καλές οι κριτικές για το νέο άλμπουμ των Green Day, 21st Century Breakdown που κυκλοφόρησε στις 15 Μαΐου. Το Know Your Enemy είναι το πρώτο σινγκλ.



Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy

Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy

Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy

Violence is an enemy
Against the enemy
Violence is an energy

Bringing on the fury
The choir infantry
Revolt against the honor to obey

Overthrow the effigy
The vast majority
Burning down the foreman of control

Silence is the enemy
Against your urgency
So rally up the demons of your soul

Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy

Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy

The insurgency will rise
When the bloods been sacrificed
Don't be blinded by the lies
In your eyes

Violence is an energy
From here to eternity
Violence is an energy
Silence is the enemy
So gimme gimme revolution

Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy

Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy

Overthrow the effigy
The vast majority
Burning down the foreman of control

Silence is the enemy
Against your urgency
So rally up the demons of your soul
