Such a beautiful song.
http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/j/james_taylor/only_a_dream_in_rio.html Only a Dream in Rio More than a distant land Over a shining sea More than the steaming green More than the shining eyes Well they tell me it's only a dream in rio Nothing could be as sweet as it seems On this very first day down They remind me "son have you so soon forgotten Often as not it's rotten inside And the mask soon slips away" Strange taste of a tropical fruit Romantic language of the portuguese Melody on a wooden flute Somba floating in the summer breeze It's alright you can stay asleep You can close your eyes You can trust the people of paradise To call your keeper And tender your goodbyes Oh what a night wonderful one in a million Frozen fire brazillian stars Oh holy southern cross Later on take me way downtown in a tin can; Can't come down from the bandstand I'm never thrown for such a loss when they say Quando a nossa mae acordar Andareimoz au sol Quando a nossa mae acordar Cantara' pelos sertao Quando a nossa mea acordar Todos os filios saberao Todos os filios saberao E regozilarao Caught in the rays of the rising sun On the run from the soldier's gun Shouting out loud from the angry crowd The mild the wild and the hungry child I'll tell you there's more than a dream in rio I was there on the very day And my heart came back alive There was more More than the singing voices More than the upturned faces And more than the shining eyes But it's more than the shining eye More than the steaming green More than the hidden hills More than the concrete christ More than a distant land Over a shining sea More than a hungry child More like another time Born of a million years More than a million years Portuguese version Performed by james taylor & milton nascimento Additional lyrics in portuguese by fernando brant From 'angelus' A terra é minha mãe O mar é o meu chão O verde é a luz Sorrindo em meu olhar Pois eu digo, é mesmo um sonho o rio Tudo será como deve ser Quero estar com vocí lá Eu garanto, é um lugar diferente A minha gente carrega uma cruz Mas tem força pra mudar Strange taste of a tropical fruit Romantic language of the portuguese Melody on a wooden flute Samba floating in the summer breeze Float on It's alright you can stay asleep You can close your eyes You can trust the people of paradise To call your keeper And to tender your goodbyes Oh, what a night Wonderful one in a million Frozen fire brazilian Oh, holy southern cross Later on take me way downtown In a tin can I can't come down from the bandstand I'm never thrown for such a loss When they say O lugar de onde eu vim Brota no coração O lugar aonde eu nasci Está no mundo e em mim O lugar que a gente sonhar Pode existir, existirá Vive em nós e viverá Enquanto houver canção Caught in the rays of the rising sun On the run from the soldier's gun Shouting out loud from The angry crowd The mild, the wild and the hungry child I'll tell you it's more than A dream in rio I was there on the very day Dói demais o coração, e era mais Mais do que nossas vozes Mais do que o nosso rosto Mais do que a luz do olhar But it's more than the shining eye (mais do que a luz do olhar) More than the steaming green (mais do que o verdejar) More than the hidden hills (tudo o que não se viu) More than the concrete christ (mais do que o redentor) More than a distant land (mais do que a terra mãe) Over the shining sea (mais do que o céu e o mar) More than a hungry child (a fome a nos doer) More like another time (o tempo a nos curtir) Born of a million years (mais do que um milhão) More than a million years (de anos pra sonhar) -------------------------------------------- A translation of the portuguese: Quando a nossa mãe acordar When our mother awakes Andaremos ao sol We shall walk in the sun Quando a nossa mãe acordar When our mother awakes Cantará pelo sertão She shall sing in the wilderness Quando a nossa mãe acordar When our mother awakes Todos os filhos saberão All her children shall know Todos os filhos saberão All her children shall know E regozijarão And they shall rejoice ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nurturing my inner clown. |

WHAT'S HE BUILDING?
Tom Waits What's he building in there? What the hell is he building in there? He has subscriptions to those magazines. He never waves when he goes by. He's hiding something from the rest of us. He's all to himself. I think I know why. He took down the tire swing from the pepper tree. He has no children of his own, you see. He has no dog. He has no friends. His lawn is dying. What are all those packages he sends? What's he building in there? That hooklight on the stairs. What's he building in there? I'll tell you one thing. He's not building a playhouse for the children. What's he building in there? And what's that sound from underneath the door? He's pounding nails into a hardwood floor. I swear to god, I heard someone moaning, low. And I keep seeing the blue light of a TV show. He has a router. And a table saw. And you won't believe what Mr. Stitches saw. There's poison underneath the sink, of course. There's also enough formaldehyde to choke a horse. What's he building in there? What the hell is he building in there? I heard he has an ex-wife in someplace called Mayor's Income, Tennessee. And he used to have a consulting business in Indonesia. But what's he building in there? He has no friends. But he gets a lot of mail. I'll bet he spent a little time in jail. I heard he was up on the roof last night, signalling with a flashlight. And what's that tune he's always whistling? What's he building in there? What's he building in there? We have a right to know. |

Thrush Hermit - We are being reduced
Take the hand that takes away And keep it in your pocket Take the words that I say And launch them in a rocket As they leave the atmosphere Watch their meaning disappear Apologies that no one hears, my dear I'm wearing out my vocal chords Because I am alone and bored Will you take me up to 24,000 feet Concorde? Hearts are broken everyday By those who take their love away Mistaking satellites for stars in bars Above the earth we receive the news: we are being reduced ________________________ What else would hunters do? |

The Cure - Lullaby
I spy something that starts with s... on candystripe legs the spiderman comes softly through the shadow of the evening sun stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead looking for the victim shivering in bed searching out fear in the gathering gloom and suddenly! a movement in the corner of the room! and there is nothing i can do when i realize with fright that the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight! quietly he laughs and shaking his head creeps closer now closer to the foot of the bed and softer than shadow and quicker than flies his arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes "be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy don't struggle like that or i will only love you more for it's much too late to get away or turn on the light the spiderman is having you for dinner tonight" and i feel like i'm being eaten by a thousand million shivering furry holes and i know that in the morning i will wake up in the shivering cold and the spiderman is always hungry... "Come into my parlour", said the spider to the fly... "I have something here for you"  Τα παιδεία παίζει. |

The wild boys are calling
On their way back from the fire In august moon's surrender to A dust cloud on the rise Wild boys fallen far from glory Reckless and so hungered On the razors edge you trail Because there's murder by the roadside In a sore afraid new world They tried to break us, Looks like they'll try again Wild boys never lose it Wild boys never chose this way Wild boys never close your eyes Wild boys always shine You got sirens for a welcome There's bloodstain for your pain And your telephone been ringing while You're dancing in the rain Wild boys wonder where is glory Where is all you angels Now the figureheads have fell And lovers war with arrows over Secrets they could tell They tried to tame you Looks like they'll try again Wild boys never lose it Wild boys never chose this way Wild boys never close your eyes Wild boys always shine k, don't think about who did this song or what the music sounds like (other than the kick ass drum part) but why hasn't this song had a better band cover it? -- I am over the hot and sticky right now |

Suo Gan
Huna blentyn yn fy mynwes Clyd a chynnes ydyw hon; Breichiau mam sy'n dynn amdanat, Cariad mam sy dan fy mron; Ni cha' dim amharu'th gyntun, Ni wna undyn â thi gam; Huna'n dawel, annwyl blentyn, Huna'n fwyn ar fron dy fam. Huna'n dawel, heno, huna, Huna'n fwyn, y tlws ei lun; Pam yr wyt yn awr yn gwenu, Gwenu'n dirion yn dy hun? Ai angylion fry sy'n gwenu, Arnat ti yn gwenu'n llon, Tithau'n gwenu'n ôl dan huno, Huno'n dawel ar fy mron? Paid ag ofni, dim ond deilen Gura, gura ar y ddôr; Paid ag ofni, ton fach unig Sua, sua ar lan y môr; Huna blentyn, nid oes yma Ddim i roddi iti fraw; Gwena'n dawel yn fy mynwes Ar yr engyl gwynion draw. |

Iron Maiden - The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner
The tough of the track with the wind And the rain that’s beating down on your back Your heart’s beating loud And goes on getting louder, and goes on even more ‘til the sound is ringing in your head With every step you tread, and every breath you take, Determination Makes you run, never stop, Got to win, got to run ‘til you drop - Keep the pace hold the race; Your mind is getting clearer. You’re over half way there, But the miles they never seem to end, As if you’re in a dream, not getting anywhere; It seems so futile. Run on and on. Run on and on, The loneliness of the long distance runner. I’ve got to keep running the course. I’ve got to keep running and win at all costs. I’ve got to keep going be strong, Must be so determined and push myself on. Run over stiles across fields, Turn to look at who’s on your heels. Way ahead of the field, the line is getting nearer, But do you want the glory that goes? You reach the final stretch, Ideals are just a trace. You feel like throwing the race. It’s all so futile. |

Frequenting Mass Transit/Frequency Ass Bandit - Botch
Patience is a girl I've been trying to forget about always rearing her ugly head when I'm choosing she's the one who still sits alone comforting smile saves me from making the same mistakes drags it out of me take what you've got and make it better I feel the loss I bear my own cross I still feel the same enjoying the last seconds we have My unseen dictator Grabs throats with both hands and it brings about euthanasia so who holds my fate in their hands __________________________ When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross -Sinclair Lewis |

In the Arms of Sleep - Smashing Pumpkins
(stuck in my head...) Sleep will not come to this tired body now Peace will not come to this lonely heart There are some things I'll live without But I want you to know that I need you right now I need you tonite I steal a kiss from her sleeping shadow moves Cause I'll always miss her wherever she goes And I'll always need her more than she could ever need me I need someone to ease my mind But sometimes a someone is so hard to find And I'll do anything to keep her here tonite And I'll say anything to make her feel alright And I'll be anything to keep her here tonite Cause I want you to stay, with me I need you tonite She comes to me like an angel out of time As I play the part of a saint on my knees There are some things I'll live without But I want you to know that I need you right now Suffer my desire Suffer my desire Suffer my desire for you _________________________ are you freaking out now? - TwiliteMinotaur shine like the sun you make me feel a little older, like a full-grown woman might come to me again in the cold cold night - the White Stripes |

Milk Lizard - Dillinger Escape Plan
My thick tongue hangs down low to the ground Licking up the sweat coming off of her heels She wants my teeth to wear She wants my hell to bear Well missy it's a lock for load If you wanna grind hips don't do it alone Don't save no dance no not for me Just cut me out You crept up like a disease looking like a girl only trying to be saved Your heart was trying to bleed and you're taking the right road if you're talking to me Well you thought you'd tear my skin from bone Just cause it was cold and you needed a coat Don't tease me just start digging the hole start digging Oh you're getting so sleepy tonight And you wanna go home but you don't have a ride No time just taste won't touch for free My salt your sweet And you were there And I was every question that never had an answer I see right through you We never even noticed that There always was a reason That we were never meant to be left alone This feels like neverending __________________________ When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross -Sinclair Lewis |

The Overload
Talking Heads A terrible signal Too weak to even recognize A gentle collapsing The removal of the insides I�m touched by your pleas I value these moments We�re order than we realize ...in someone�s eyes A frequent returning And leaving unnoticed A condition of mercy A change in the weather A view to remember The center is missing They question how the future lies ...in someone's eyes The gentle collapsing Of every surface We travel on the quiet road ...the overload |
