365 Days at Peking

Well, I feel just like a child
Yeah, I feel just like a child
From my womb to my tomb I guess I’ll always be a child

Well, some people try and treat me like a man.
Yeah, some people try and treat me like a man.
Well, I guess they just don’t understand
Yes, some people try and treat me like a man.

They think I know shit but that’s just it,
I’m a child.

Well, I need you to tell me what to wear
Yeah, I need you to help me comb my hair
Yeah, I need you to help me tie my shoes
Yeah, I need you to come keep me amused.

From my cave to my grave I guess I’ll always be a child.

I need you to help me reach the door
And I need you to walk me to the store
And I need you to please explain the war
And I need you to heal me when I’m sore

You can tell by my smile
That I’m a child

Feel just like a child - Devendra Banhart

Cripple Crow (2005)

(Love)
Can make your world go 'round
(Love)
Can really bring you down
(Love)
It's such a state of mind
(Love)
Can take a long long time
(Love)

I've got to figure out love...

(Love)
It's such a tricky thing
(Love)
Can include diamond rings
(Love)
Will make you scream and shout
(Love)
If there is no way out
(Love)

I've got to figure out love...

Pom Pom - MATTHEW DEAR

Asa Breed (2007) 

 

I've got you under my skin
I've got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart, that you're really a part of me
I've got you under my skin

I've tried so not to give in
I've said to myself this affair never will go so well
But why should I try to resist, when baby will I know than well
That I've got you under my skin

I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear

Don't you know you fool, you never can win
Use your mentality, wake up to reality
But each time I do, just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
cause I've got you under my skin

I've got you under my skin - FRANK SINATRA

Si estaba loco por ti,
me preguntaste un día,
si estaba loco por ti.
Maldita lengua la mía
cuando le dijo que sí
a quien no lo merecía.

Me puse a beber un día,
de la fuente del saber
me puse a beber un día.
Y sólo logré entender
que no hay filosofía
que pueda entender.

Nada tengo que envidiarte,
tampoco que agradecerte,
nada tengo que envidiarte.
Si me entero de tu muerte,
yo diré que en paz descanses,
y si vives, buena suerte.

Si estaba loco por ti (Verdiales) - LOS PLANETAS

Leyendas del Espacio (2007)

The times we had
Oh, when the wind would blow with rain and snow
Were not all bad
We put our feet just where they had
Had to go
Never to go

The shattered soul
Following close but nearly twice as slow
Were my good times
There were always golden rocks to throw
At those who
Those who admit defeat too late
Those were our times
Those were our times

And I will love to see that day
That day is mine
When she will marry me
Outside with the willow trees
And playing songs in May
What made me so
And I would love to see that day
The day was mine

Postcards from Italy - BEIRUT

Gulag Orkestar (2006)

You said I began
This messy state of love affair
And I drink too much and smoke too fast
That this city's cleared my innocence

Coffee is pouring out my ears
It's the only thing they have in here
And my heart stops beating

And when it stops it stops
My heart stopped beating
And when it stops it stops
My heart stopped beating

Number three still on my plate
I heard the trains are running late
And I laugh out loud
My life is a mess
I have gone too far
In my lifelessness

Another coffee it's on the house
The poor girl look is on the owners spouse
And my heart stopped beating

And when it stops it stops
My heart stopped beating
And when it stops it stops
My heart stopped beating

Outside your house
To make a scene
In my head you grabbed me passionately
But the lights are out
And in an hour I walked on home
In the pouring shower

Lost my keys in front of me
My neighbour’s smile he's handing me
The blackest coffee you will ever see

And my hearts stopped beating
And when it stops it stops
My heart stopped beating
And when it stops it stops

My heart stopped beating

Heartstopper - EMILIANA TORRINI

Fisherman's Woman (2005)

Ya sé que no es exactamente
lo que debería de ser,
pero me río al pensar
que crees que voy a ceder.

Sé que es más fácil quedarme sentado
y esperar que pase el dolor
que oír en la radio mi voz
decirle a la gente que no.

No intentes hacerme cambiar,
no me pidas ese favor,
siento decirte
que no, que no, que no, que no ...
que no, que no, que no, que no ...
que no, que no, que no ...

Ya sé que quizás no es el momento
ni es el lugar ideal,
pero dejarlo pasar
sería un triste final.

Y ya sé que piensas que es algo extraño,
que no puede durar más,
pero al final tú caerás
y puede que yo ya no esté.

No intentes hacerme cambiar,
no me pidas ese favor,
siento decirte
que no, que no, que no, que no ...
que no, que no, que no, que no ...
que no, que no, que no ...
siento decir que no ...

Que no - DELUXE

If things were to go wrong (2003)

Another day is here and I am still alive

I say these words aloud,

they speak form the inside

And everytime I see you

You just walk away

Still the world is turning

I want to hear what you, what you've got to say

My mind is all made up, I'm doing all I can

I'm trying hard to think, but I can't understand

Why everytime I see you

You just walk away

And still the world is turning

----Charlotte Cooper singing------------

My head is spinning round,

I don't know what to do

If I'm so happy, I've got everything to lose

And everytime I see you

I can't stand to stay

And now it's always raining

You're the one to blame.

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

Everytime I see you You just walk away

Still the world is turning

I want to hear what you, what you've got to say

I Want To Hear What You Have Got To Say - THE SUBWAYS

Young for Eternity (2006)

Say say my playmate
won't you lay hands on me
mirror my malady
transfer my tragedy

Got a curse I cannot lift
shines when the sunset shifts
when the moon is round and full
gotta bust that box, gotta gut that fish

My mind's aflame

We could jet in a stolen car
but I bet we wouldn't get too far
before the transformation takes
and bloodlust tanks and crave gets slaked

My mind has changed
my body's frame but God I like it
my heart's aflame
my body's strained but God I like it

Charge me your day rate
I'll turn you out in kind
when the moon is round and full
gonna teach you tricks that'll blow your
mongrel mind

Baby doll I recognize
you're a hideous thing inside
if ever there were a lucky kind it's
you you you you!!!

I know it's strange another way to get to know you
you'll never know unless we go, so let me show you
I know it's strange another way to get to know you
we've got 'till noon, here comes the moon
so let it show you, show you now 

Dream me oh dreamer
down to the floor
open my hands and let them
weave onto yours

Feel me, completer
down to my core
open my heart and let it
bleed onto yours

Feeding on fever
down all fours
show you 
what all that howl is for

Wolf like me - TV ON THE RADIO
Return to cookie mountain (2006) 

I am a bird girl now
I've got my heart
Here in my hands now

I've been searching
For my wings some time
I'm gonna be born
Into soon the sky

'Cause I'm a bird girl
And the bird girls go to heaven
I'm a bird girl
And the bird girls can fly
Bird girls can fly

El disco más triste del mundo

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xD7U-xK9Xmk

Let's dance little stranger
Show me secret sins
Love can be like bondage
Seduce me once again

Burning like an angel
Who has heaven in reprieve
Burning like the voodoo man
With devils on his sleeve

Won't you dance with me
In my world of fantasy
Won't you dance with me
Ritual fertility

Like an apparition
You don't seem real at all
Like a premonition
Of curses on my soul

The way I want to love you
Well it could be against the law
I've seen you in a thousand minds
You've made the angels fall

Come on little stranger
There's only one last dance
Soon the music's over
Let's give it one more chance

Won't you dance with me
In my world of fantasy
Won't you dance with me
Ritual fertility

Take a chance with me
In my world of fantasy
Won't you dance with me
Ritual fertility

Through the window pane (2006)

• VIDEO
• ACOUSTIC CONCERT

And if the snow buries my,
my neighborhood.
And if my parents are crying
then I’ll dig a tunnel
from my window to yours,
yeah a tunnel
from my window to yours.

You climb out the chimney
and meet me in the middle,
the middle of the town.
And since there’s no one else around,
we let our hair grow long
and forget all we used to know,
then our skin gets thicker
from living out in the snow.

You change all the lead
sleepin’ in my head,
as the day grows dim
I hear you sing a golden hymn.

Then we tried to name our babies,
but we forgot all the names that,
the names we used to know.
But sometimes we remember our bedrooms,
and our parent’s bedrooms,
and the bedrooms of our friends.
Then we think of our parents,
well what the hell ever happened to them?!

You change all the lead
sleepin’ in my head to gold,
as the day grows dim,
I hear you sing a golden hymn,
the song I’ve been trying to sing.

Purify the colors, purify my mind.
Purify the colors, purify my mind,
and spread the ashes of the colors
in this heart of mine.

Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels) - THE ARCADE FIRE
Funeral (2005)

Esos tres años que pasé detrás de ti
fueron los mejores años de mi juventud.
Iba a todos tus conciertos sólo para oír tu voz,
cada disco que sacabas
terminaba en mi colección.

Y un buen día en Gandía
que tocabas con Tachenko,
me invitaste a tomar algo,
me invitaste a compartir
la cama, la bañera, el mini bar.

Me enseñaste los acordes
y algún truco de escritor,
empecé a escribir canciones para ser como tú.
Y cuando todo terminó en la Feria de Mahón
yo quise decir algo, tu dijiste "llora por mí"

Nunca pude superarlo,
sé que nunca he de olvidar
que esos tres años que pasamos por ahí
fueron los mejores que viví.

Y es que no pude superarlo,
sé que nunca he de olvidar
que esos tres años que pasamos por ahí
fueron los mejores que viví,
fueron los mejores que viví ...

Waterloo To Anywhere (2006)

Mi porto addosso di te
soltanto il meglio di te
la faccia più incerta che fai
le cose che non mi dirai

E casomai mi dimentico già
di chiederti come si sta
dentro una foto d’estate che ho
tu che mi guardi
io che guardarti davvero non so

Mi porto addosso di te
soltanto il meglio di te
di mille canzoni che sai
quelle che non canterai

E casomai si confondono già
con altre che ho amato e che so
dentro la foto d’estate che ho
tu mi guardavi
io ti dicevo soltanto di no

Mi porto addosso di te
tutto il meglio di te
soltanto il meglio che c’è

…e casomai mi dimentico già
di chiederti come ti va
dentro la foto d’estate che ho
tu che mi guardi
io che non riesco più a dirti di no

Il Meglio di Te - GIANMARIA TESTA

Altre Latitudine (2003)

Buenas tardes, soy tu novio instantáneo,
no te apures que no voy a hacerte daño,
no te había visto nunca por aquí
pero ahora que te he visto, te vas a acordar de mí.

Primero voy a acompañarte hasta tu casa,
sin compromiso, sino en plan a ver qué pasa.
No hace falta que te pongas donde hay luz,
te darás cuenta enseguida de que corro más que tú.

Los novios instantáneos se ríen de ti.
Los novios instantáneos han nacido así.

Los novios i ... nos reímos de ti
Los novios i ... hemos nacido así.

Ahora es cuando sólo quiero estar contigo,
ahora es cuando hablo de ti con mis amigos
y ahora es cuando te lo empiezas a creer,
ya llevamos diez minutos, hay que acabar de una vez.

Y te digo, creo que se me está pasando,
y te digo que será mejor dejarlo,
que no es culpa tuya, el problema soy yo,
que verás como sin mí vas a estar mucho mejor.


¿Sabes cómo muere un novio instantáneo?
¿No te han dicho que estamos por todos lados?
¿Nadie te ha explicado la forma de vencernos?
¿Y cómo sales a la calle sin saberlo?

Los Novios Instantáneos - ASTRUD
Algo Cambió: Caras B y Rarezas - 1997-2005 (2006)

Tanto como amigos, ya es de mañana,
fuimos definiendo la amistad,
de madrugada, de madrugada.

Y nos enmarcamos en oro,
todo brilla en esta habitación,
veo nuestras caras deslumbradas.

Y la tarde ya será otro día, un día más.
Llega otra estación,
pero es igual que las demás.

Y la noche coge mal color.
Vamos a decir que es amistad,
y no se hable más...

Y aunque nos sabemos los mejores,
asistimos mudos al final
del verano y nos decoloramos.

Y olvidamos todo aquel calor.
Tras la puerta acechan como gatos,
todo lo perdido y todo lo encontrado.

Y la tarde ya será otro día, un día más.
Llega otra estación,
pero es igual que las demás.

Y la noche coge mal color.
Vamos a decir que es amistad,
y no se hable más.

Tres Tristes Tigres - NOSOTRÄSH con NACHO VEGAS

POPEMAS (2002)

Quiero que sepas que ya me esperaba
que esto ocurriera y que no pasa nada
Solo me da la razón y que he estado aprendiendo
de cada momento que he estado contigo.

Y pienso aplicar contra mis enemigos
tus tácticas sucias de acoso y derribo
Que también he sacado algo bueno
de todo este enredo.

Y quiero que sepas
que espero que acabes colgando de un pino
cuando veas lo imbécil que has sido
cuando veas que lo has hecho fatal.

Y que quiero que sepas
que ha sido un infierno estando contigo
Que el infierno es lo mas parecido
Te pareces un poco a Satán.


Quiero que sepas que me he acostumbrado
a tus putas escenas de "ahora me largo!"
Lárgate ya de verdad, que sería una suerte
si no vuelvo a verte en los proximos años.

Por mí que podrías tirarte de un tajo
que ya lo que hagas me trae sin cuidado
Si me pongo a pensarlo un momento
prefiero, prefiero

Así que ya sabes que espero
que acabes pegándote un tiro
Cuando veas lo imbécil que has sido
Cuando veas que lo has hecho fatal.

Y que quiero que sepas
que ha sido un infierno estando contigo
Que por poco no acabas conmigo
pero soy difícil de matar.

Y que quiero que sepas
que ha sido un infierno estando contigo
Que el infierno no es tanto castigo
Te pareces bastante a Satán.

Pesadilla en el Parque de Atracciones - LOS PLANETAS
Encuentro con Entidades (2002)

Dame tiempo y verás que ya no creceré más.
No hay motivos, ¿para qué acostumbrarse?,
¿a qué?, ¿por qué me tuvo que pasar a mí?
Yo era amable con las jóvenes.
Muy bien ¿y qué?, las pistas llevan hacia mí,
era fácil, en desórdenes.

Y al volver a la acción, y a mis bolsas de viaje,
más calientes, ya no me echaré de menos más.
Y al entrar en calor, en mi mitad no hay nadie
diferente, rienda suelta para demostrar
que esto es mucho mejor, nada podrá asustarme,
en mi frente lo que hubiera escrito, ya no está.

Dame tiempo y verás que ya no creceré más.
Hay testigos para quien quiera quedarse
aquí, ¿por qué me tuvo que pasar a mí?
Yo era amable con las jóvenes.
Muy bien ¿y qué?, las pistas llevan hacia mí,
era fácil, en desórdenes.

Y al volver a la acción, y a mis bolsas de viaje,
diferentes, ya no me echaré de menos más.
Y ahora soy como soy, nada podrá asustarme,
entregadme cuando todos se hayan ido ya, al abordaje.

¿Por qué, por qué me tuvo que pasar a mí?
yo era amable, yo era Robin Hood.
Muy bien ¿y qué?, las pistas llevan hacia mí,
ya no estamos como estamos.

for intellectual revolution, "Are You Ready to be Heartbroken?",

Read Norman Mailer / Or get a new tailor.") pitchforkmedia.com

Somos culpables de este amor escandaloso
que el fuego mismo de pasión alimentó
que en el remanso de la noche impostergable
nos avergüenza seguir sintiéndolo.

Poco a poco
fuimos volviéndonos locos
Y es el vapor de nuestro amor
nos embriagó con su licor
y culpa al carnaval interminable
nos hizo confundir irresponsables

Si fuimos carne de la intriga casquivana
que la imprudencia del rumor hoy desató
que descubiertos por la luz de la mañana
nos castigaron la desidia y el dolor.

Infame (2003)

I like the peace
in the backseat,
I don't have to drive,
I don't have to speak,
I can watch the country side,
and I can fall asleep.

My family tree's
losing all its leaves,
crashing towards the driver's seat,
the lightning bolt made enough heat
to melt the street beneath your feet.

Alice died
in the night,
I've been learning to drive.
My whole life,
I've been learning.

I like the peace
in the backseat,
I don't have to drive,
I don't have to speak,
I can watch the country side

Alice died
in the night,
I've been learning to drive.
My whole life,
I've been learn----Oh....


In the backseat - ARCADE FIRE -
Funeral (2004)

Oh no, not me.

The circus girl fell off her horse
and now she's paralysed
The hitchiker was bound and gagged,
raped on the roadside
The libertine is locked in jail
The pirate sunk and broke his sail

But I've still got to go
I've got to go, so here I go
I'm going to run the risk of being free

The magicians secrets all revealed
And the preachers' lies are all concealed
And all our heroes lack any conviction
They shout through the bars of clichè and addiction

So I've got to go
I've got to go, so here I go
I'm going to run the risk of being free

And in this drought of truth and invention
Whoever shouts the loudest gets the most attention
So we pass the mic and they've got nothing to say except:
"Bow down, bow down, bow down to your god"
Then we hit the floor
And make ourselves and idol to bow before

Well I can't
And I won’t
Bow down
Anymore.
No more.

Sofa Song - THE KOOKS
Inside in inside out (2005)

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime... didn’t you?
People’d call, say, "Beware doll, you’re bound to fall"
You thought they were all kiddin’ you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin’ out

Now you don’t talk so loud
Now you don’t seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal.

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They’re drinkin’, thinkin’ that they got it made
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and things
But you’d better lift your diamond ring, you’d better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used

Go to him now, he calls you, you can’t refuse
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You’re invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a Rolling Stone?

Like a Rolling Stone - BOB DYLAN

Stringimi madre ho molto peccato
ma la vita è un suicidio
l’amore è un rogo
e voglio un pensiero superficiale
che renda la pelle splendida

Senza un finale che faccia male
con cuori sporchi e le mani lavate
A salvarmi, vieni a salvarmi, salvami
bacia il colpevole se dice la verità

Ma sì...

Passo le notti nero cristallo
a sceglier le carte che giocherei
A maledire certe domande
che forse era meglio non farsi mai

E voglio un pensiero superficiale
che renda la pelle splendida
A salvarmi, vieni a salvarmi, salvami
bacia il colpevole se dice la verità

Ma sì...
