Death Cab For Cutie - The New Year

Από το Transatlanticism [2003]
__________
so this is the new year.
and i don't feel any different.
the clanking of crystal
explosions off in the distance (in the distance).

so this is the new year
and I have no resolutions
for self assigned penance
for problems with easy solutions

so everybody put your best suit or dress on
let's make believe that we are wealthy for just this once
lighting firecrackers off on the front lawn
as thirty dialogues bleed into one

i wish the world was flat like the old days
then i could travel just by folding a map
no more airplanes, or speedtrains, or freeways
there'd be no distance that can hold us back.

there'd be no distance that could hold us back (x2)

so this is the new year (x4)

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band - Anthem / Next

Δύο από τα τραγούδια που μας άφησε ο μοναδικός Alex Harvey , που έφυγε από καρδιακή προσβολή το 1982, μιά μέρα μόλις πριν κλείσει τα 47 . Το Next (διασκευή τραγουδιού του Jaques Brel) προέρχεται από το ομώνυμο (Next -1973-) ενώ το Anthem από το The Impossible Dream -1974-. Οι The Sensational Alex Harvey Band επανενώθηκαν το 2004 και συνεχίζουν αρκετά πετυχημένα, όμως σίγουρα λείπει η μορφή του Alex Harvey.

Anthem

=======ΤSAHB======
If you don't put me on trial
Then why don't you turn me loose
You can throw the key away
Let me chase the wild goose
Your progress is my desire
You shouldn't do me wrong
Although it's true I'm worried now
I won't be worried long
Telling stories to the peacocks
Selling systematically
Just a counterfeit engraving
Of the way you used to be
Just another one-way number
Just another two-way song
Although it's true I'm worried now
I won't be worried long

Don't encourage me to murder
'Cause it pays to advertise
Don't treat me with suspicion
Don't tell me no more lies
You know I love your company
You shouldn't do me wrong
Although it's true I'm worried now
I won't be worried long
Although it's true I'm worried now
I won't be worried long

Next


=======ΤSAHB======

Naked as sin
an army towel, covering my belly
Some of us weep, some of us howl
Knees turn to jelly
But Next! Next!
I was just a child
A hundred like me
I followed a naked body
a naked body followed me
Next! Next!
I was just a child when my innocence was lost
in a mobile army whorehouse
a gift of the army, free of cost
Next! Next! Next!
Me, I really would have liked a little bit of tenderness
Maybe a word, maybe a smile, maybe some happiness
But Next! Next!
Oh it was not so tragic
and heaven did not fall
But how much at that time
I hated being there at all
Next! Next!
I still recall the brothel trucks, the flying flags
The queer lieutenant slapped our arses
thinking we were fags
Next! Next! Next!

I swear on the wet head
of my first case of gonorrhea
It is his ugly voice that I forever fear
Next! Next!
A voice that stinks of whiskey
of corpses and of mud
The voice of nations
the thick voice of blood
Next! Next!
Since then each woman I have taken into bed
they seem to lie in my arms
and they whisper in my head
Next! Next!

All the naked and the dead
could hold each other's hands
as they watch me dream at night
in a dream that nobody understands
and though I am not dreaming in a voice
grown dry and hollow
I stand on endless naked lines of the following and the followed
Next! Next!

One day I'll cut my legs off
I'll burn myself alive
I'll do anything to get out of life to survive
not ever to be next
Next! Next!
not ever
to be next, not ever...................

The Arcade Fire - No Cars Go / My Body Is A Cage

Τα δύο τελευταία τραγούδια από το Neon Bible (2007)


No Cars Go




----AF----

We know a place where no planes go
We know a place where no ships go

(Hey!) No cars go
(Hey!) No cars go
Where we know

We know a place no space ships go
We know a place where no subs go

(Hey!) No cars go
(Hey!) No cars go
Where we know

(Hey!)
(Hey!)
(Mom, Dad!)
(No go!)

(Hey!) Us kids know
(Hey!) No cars go
Where we know

Between the click of the light and the start of the dream [4x]

I don't want any pushing, and I don't want any shoving.
We're gonna do this in an orderly

Manner. Women and children! Women and children! Women and children,
Let's go! Old folks,

My Body Is A Cage (BBC Radio 2 Session)



----AF----

My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love,
But my mind holds the key.

My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love,
But my mind holds the key.

I'm standing on the stage
Of fear and self-doubt.
It's a hollow play,
But they'll clap anyway

My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key.

Standing next to me.
My mind holds the key.

I'm living in an age
That calls darkness light
Though my language is dead
Still the shapes fill my head.

I'm living in an age
Whose name I don't know
Though the fear keeps me moving
Still my heart beats so slow

My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key.

Standing next to me.
My mind holds the key.

My body is a...

My body is a cage.
We take what we're given,
Just because you've forgotten, that don't mean you're forgiven.

I'm living in an age
Still turning in the night
But when I get to the doorway
There's no one in sight.

I'm living in an age,
Realizing I'm dancing
With the one I love,
But my mind holds the key.

You're still next to me,
My mind holds the key.
Set my spirit free.
Set my spirit free.
Set my body free.
Set my body free.
Woo!
Set my spirit free.
Set my body free.
Oh, oh. Oh, oh

Joe Jackson - Steppin' Out

O Joe Jackson επανέρχεται στη δισκογραφία με την κυκλοφορία του πάρα πολύ καλού Rain στα τέλη Ιανουαρίου του 2008. Το Steppin' Out που είναι η μεγαλύτερη επιτυχία του προέρχεται από το Night and Day [1982].
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Now -
The mist across the window hides the lines
But nothing hides the colour of the lights that shine
Electricity so fine
Look and dry your eyes

We -
So tired of all the darkness in our lives
With no more angry words to say
Can come alive
Get into a car and drive
To the other side

Me babe - steppin out
Into the night
Into the light
You babe - steppin out
Into the night
Into the light

We -
Are young but getting old before our time
Well leave the t.v. and the radio behind
Dont you wonder what well find
Steppin out tonight

You -
Can dress in pink and blue just like a child
And in a yellow taxi turn to me and smile
Well be there in just a while
If you follow me

Me babe - steppin out
Into the night
Into the light
You babe - steppin out
Into the night
Into the light

Alison Moyet - Do You Ever Wonder

Από το υπέροχο Hometime (2002)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do you ever wonder
What it's like
To be alone and
No sleep at night
Ever wonder
Is this for real
Ever Wonder

Sometimes I think you sigh
Time drifts by, once in a life
Love is strong

I won't feel anything
I'm lost without you

In my mind a picture
That you frame
Kaleidoscope of love you're showing me
Loving sweet rays
All hopes that fade
My only gain
My lonely game played without you

You sigh
Time drifts by, once in a life
Love is strong

I won't feel anything
I'm lost without you

Through the wake of you
Every now and then
Every now and then
The road that I follow is so far from you

Do you every wonder
