Reeperbahn - Tom Waits[2002]

TOM WAITS - "Reeperbahn"

Kom út 2002 á  meistaraverkinu Alice



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qbPeMR1w88
http://www.tomwaits.com/albums/#/albums/album/7/Alice/


Around the curve of The Parrot Bar
A broken-down old movie star
Hustling and Easterner
Bringing out the beast in her
A high dive on a swimming pool
Filled with needles and with fools
The memories are short but the tales are long
When you're in the Reeperbahn
Oh, they called her Rosie when she was a girl
For her bright red cheeks and her strawberry curls
When she would laugh the river would run
She said she'd be a comedian
Oh what a pity, oh what a shame
When she said, ‘come calling’, nobody came
Now her bright red cheeks are painted on
And she's laughing her head off in the Reeperbahn
Now little Hans was always strange
Wearing womens underthings
His father beat him but he wouldn't change
He ran off with a man one day
Now his lingerie is all the rage
In the black on every page
His father proudly calls his name
Down there in the Reeperbahn
Now if you've lost your inheritance
And all you've left is common sense
And you're not too picky about the crowd you keep
Or the mattress where you sleep
Behind every window, behind every door
The apple has gone but there's always the core
And the seeds will sprout up right through the floor
Down there in the Reeperbahn
Down there in the Reeperbahn
Down there in the Reeperbahn

Tilnefning nr. 275 - Hörður

Ég vil fá mér kærustu - Hjálmar[2005]
2. stúdíóplata Hjálma kom út árið 2005 og bar heitið Hjálmar.
Ég vil fá mér kærustu er einmitt að finna á þeirri plötu. Frábær sveit hér á ferð.



Ég vil fá mér Kærustu

Ég vil fá mér kærust u sem allra allra fyrst.
En ekki verður gott að finna han a,

því hún skal hafa kinnar eins og hrútaber á kvist

og hvarmaljósin björt sem demantana

Hún skal vera fegurst af öllum innan lands

og iðin við að spinna og létt að stíga dans

og hún skal kunna’ að haga sér hið besta.


Þær eru flestar góðar meðan unnustinn er nær

en oss þær eru vissar til að blekkja

en ég vil fá mér eina þá sem ei við öðrum hlær

sem elskar mig og bara mig vill þekkja


og hún skal líka finna beztu hugarró hjá mér

ef húsi mínu færir hún iðni og dyggð með sér

og stóra, fulla kistu beztu klæða.


Og ef ég svo í eina næ jafnt alveg sem ég vil

þá óðara til brullups skal ég feta

og sveitafólk mitt veislu fær sem vantar ekkert til

og vín og hrokafylli sína að éta


og þar skal vera dans og drykkja daga þrjá í röð

hin dýra ást oss gjörir í hjörtunum svo glöð

en til þess verður ofurlitlu að eyða.

Nowhere Man please listen,
You don't know what you're missing,
Nowhere Man,the world is at your command!

(lead guitar)

He's as blind as he can be,
Just sees what he wants to see,
Nowhere Man can you see me at all?

Nowhere Man, don't worry,
Take your time, don't hurry,
Leave it all till somebody else
lends you a hand!

Doesn't have a point of view,

Pregnant for the Last Time – Morrissey[1991]

Pregnant for the Last Time – Morrissey
Kom út á smáskífu árið 1991.



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlP6coXQcps

Phlegm lapels for the last time
Corn beef legs for the last time
Oh, we're so glad
That you've finally decided

But then you see someone new
And you want someone new
So you have someone new
I don't blame you
We would all do the same as you
If ever we had the nerve to

Chips with cream for the last time
The People's Friend for the last time
Oh, we're so glad
That you've finally decided

Tiny striped socks for the last time
Pokes and prods for the last time
And the doctor said
Don't nod your head until June !

But then you see someone new
And you want someone new
So you have someone new
I don't blame you
We would all do the same as you
If ever we had the chance to

Sick at noon for the last time
And who is going to clean up ?
Would you be so kind ?
Oh, everybody's staring
At the strange clothes that you're wearing

Bad advice for the last time
And people being nice for the very first time
Oh, we're so glad

Arinbjarnarson - Spilverk Þjóðanna[1977]

Arinbjarnarson kom út 1977 á Sturlu. Eitt af fjölmörgum meistaraverkum Spilverksins.
Myndbandið mjög áhugavert.





Hví er ég Arinbjarnarson
En hvorki Kúld né Schiöth
Sem búa'á númer þrettán
Í sömu götu og ég
Í sama húsi og ég?

Á sömu hæð býr afi Arinbjörn
Og amma Fía sparsöm kona on'úr hreppum
Sem lifir dauðann af
Í dönskum bókaskáp

Mamma vildi annan mann
Og pabbi annað víf
En það fæddist lítið barn
Hér á þessum stað
Mér finnst það fjandi hart
Því barnið, ég er það
Ra - la - la - la - la - la - la

Því er ég hér en ekki þú
Og við við en ekki bara eitthvað annað
Maðkur eða mús
Máfur eða hús
Dagblað eða djús
Krukka eða krús
Mínus eða plús
Andrés eða önd
Ég en ekki þú

Ragnheiður biskupsdóttir - Megas[1975]
Megas - Ragnheiður biskupsdóttir af millilendingu frá 1975

Meira af sagnfærði undan rós frá meistaranum



Ragnheiður biskupsdóttir brókar var með sótt
og beiddi þegar Daði mælti á latínu.
Hann kenndi henni sitthvað til gamans og til gagns
og gjörðist snemma þaulkunnugur gatinu.

Í skammdeginu vildi hend að villtust bestu menn
og var oft fyrir kvenlíkami í rúminu.
En milli draums og veru þeir vissu óglögg skil
og voru síst að pæla í þeim í húminu.

Og Ragnheiður hún fæddi einn dag hann Daðason,
menn dylgjuðu, menn bára hana út, menn hæddu hana.
En hlýðið góðir drengir, það er hlálegt en þó satt,
það var helvítið hann Brynjólfur sem sæddi hana.

Sweet Child of Mine – The Gregorian[2009]
Frábært lag í stórkostlegri útgáfu Gregorian

Kom fyrst út 1987 á Appetite for Destruction – Guns and Roses - en útgáfan sem ég tilnefni kom út á Masters of Chant, Chapter VII árið 2009



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2y3xZxeOwtQ

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I stared too long
I'd probably break down and cry

Oh, sweet child o' mine
Oh, sweet love of mine

She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder and the rain
To quietly pass me by

Oh, sweet child o' mine
Oh, sweet love of mine

Oh, sweet child o' mine
Oh, sweet love of mine
Oh, sweet child o' mine
Oh, sweet love of mine

Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Where do we go
Where do we go now

Where do we go
Sweet child
Where do we go now

Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Where do we go now

Where do we go
Where do we go now
Sweet child
Sweet child o' mine

Eldri live útgáfa hér

Well Pale Face said
To the Eyeball Kid
She just goes clank and boom and steam
A halo, wings, horns and a tail
Shoveling coal inside my dreams
There are no laws
She's made of cream
She's such a scream

Qui bon tres bien, nails in cement
A Donnie gal from mortal clay
The plow is red
THe well is full inside
The dollhouse of her skull
A cheetah coat fills up with steam
She's such a scream

All crooked lines
Her fireplace
A milktrain so clean
Machine gun haste
You'll ride the only wall of shame
And drag that chain across the state
Her lips are red
She is the queen
She's such a scream

Manstu - Ásbjörn Kristinsson Morthens[1987]

Ásbjörn Kristinsson Morthens - Manstu af Dögun frá 1987.

Athugasemd vefstjóra: Tilnefnari og vefstjóri fundu ekki lagið á youtube, ef einhver les þetta þá má væri vel þegið að koma með lagið á youtube. Lagið er þó að finna í spilaranum.

Manstu þær nætur þegar engan svefn var að fá?
Endalaus partý, aldrei, aldrei slakað á.
Jaxla við bruddum bláir undir augum fölir á kinn.

Manstu þá daga þegar dópið var eini vinur þinn?
Manstu þegar óttinn fór á stjá?
Fórum aldrei til dyra nema fyrst að gá.
Þegar feigðin dansaði fyrir utan gluggann minn.

Tónlistin var svört, hún gaf okkur breik,
koma niður með stíl og feitum reyk.
Við neituðum að trúa að þetta væri allt feik.
Það væri búið að dæma okkur báða úr leik.

Manstu þá daga þegar dýrðin var til?
Rifum niður skápa, skriðum bak við þil.
Mínútan varð að martröð sem ekkert sló á
nema skammtur af Perú en það var ekkert að fá.

Manstu svo loks gamli að augun gátum ekki opnað?
Hræddir við að deyja, gátum ekki stoppað.
Og ég man þá daga vinur minn.

Soldier Of Fortune – Deep Purple[1974]

Soldier Of Fortune – Deep Purple
Kom út á níundu plötu Depp Purple – Stormbringer 1974



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BGwEulYs8c

I have often told you stories
About the way
I lived the life of a drifter
Waiting for the day
When I'd take your hand
And sing you songs
Then maybe you would say
Come lay with me love me
And I would surely stay

But I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune

Many times I've been a traveller
I looked for something new
In days of old
When nights were cold
I wandered without you
But those days I thougt my eyes
Had seen you standing near
Though blindness is confusing
It shows that you're not here

Now I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
I can hear the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune

Funny How Love Is - Fine Young Canniballs[1986]

Fine Young Canniballs koma frá Birmingham líkt og UB40 sem ég tilnefndi síðast. Sá FYC í Höllinni 1986 á Listahátíð. Virkilega flott lag frá þeim félögum, saxófónninn alltaf jafn töfrandi hljóðfæri. Annars kom lagið út á fyrstu plötu þeirra félaga sem hét einfaldlega Fine Young Canniballs árið 1986.



**I go to places we used to go
I still see people we used to know
Friends they ask me where is she now
I have to tell them we're over now

**When at first you left I thought I'd surely die
I couldn't see a future without you by my side
We're not together but I'm still alive
I'd rather not see you for a very long time

Funny how love is
Funny how love is
Funny how love is

**I don't want your magazines I don't want your clothes
Take them from my house let me be alone
**Y'ever try to catch me in or call me on the phone
Don't send me letters I don't want to know

**When at first you left I thought I'd surely die
I couldn't see a future without you by my side
We're not together but I'm still alive
I'd rather not see you for a very long time

Funny how love is
Funny how love is
Funny how love is

**Love is so funny; you sure put a joke on me
Funny how love is...

Back in the box - Hawkwind[1992]

Hawkwind - Back In The Box. Held að eina platan sem þetta verk er að finna á sé California Brainstorm sem tekin var upp 1990 en kom út 1992.

Fann ekki sömu útgáfu og er á plötunni.


Live

Fróðleikur um þessa einstöku og frábæru sveit

Back in the box, shut in the dark
Falling apart
Digging the dirt
Hiding the hurt
Locked in a dream
What does it mean?
Shut in the box
Too many locks
Back in the box, back in the box
Back in the box, back in the box
Counting down
Twisting round
See behind your back
Counting down
Twisting round
See behind your back
....behind your back [ x 7 ]
Locked in dreams
What does it mean?
Shut in a box
There's too many locks
Shut in a box
There's too many locks
Round and round
Round and round and round
I see you
Hanging there
Switch on the TV, look at the screen
Money for a Rolls or a washing machine
You pay your money and you pay your rent
Every day it's always spent
Maybe it starts to be the same
You look out your window and it starts to rain
Someone is saying it's time to die
Send us some money and I'll tell you why
I pay my stamps and I pay my tax
I daren't stop working and that's a fact
But all I see on the TV screen
Is starving kids and war machines
Is this what i've been taught in school?
Is education the golden rule?
the golden rule
the golden rule.......
Back in the box
Back in the box
Back in the box
Back in the box

Switching off - Elbow[2003]
Enn og aftur vil ég tilnefna lag með Elbow -  núna er það Switching off
Kom út 2003 á Cast of Thousands


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdwt-x2fQ4g
Last of the men in hats hops off the coil
And a final scene unfolds inside
Deep in the rain of sparks behind his brow
Is a part replayed from a perfect day
Teaching her how to whistle like a boy
Love's first blush

Chorus
Is this making sense?
What am I trying to say?
Early evening June
This room and a radio play
This I need to save
I choose my final thoughts today
Switching off with you

All the clocks give in
And the traffic fades
And the insects like a neon choir
The instant fizz
Connection made
And the curtains sigh
In time
With you

Chorus 2
You, the only sense the world has ever made
Early evening June
This room and radio play
This I need to save
I choose my final scene today
Switching off

Ran to ground for a while there
But I came off pretty well

Chorus 3
You, the only sense the world has ever made
This I need to save
A simple trinket locked away
I choose my final scene today
Switching off with you

Food for thought - UB40[1980]

Eitt af mínum uppáhaldslögum með UB40 þegar þeir voru á sínum upphafsárum. Lagið kom út á þeirra fyrstu plötu Signing off 1980. Á tónleikaplötunni UB40 Live sem kom út árið 1983 tóku þeir þetta lag sem ég er sérlega hrifinn af.



Ivory madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.
Barren is her bosom, empty as her eyes,
Death a certain harvest scattered from the skies.

Skin and bones is creeping, does`nt know he`s dead.
Ancient eyes are peeping, from his infant head.
Politician`s argue sharpening their knives.
Drawing up their Bargains, trading baby lives.

(Chorus)

Ivory madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.

Hear the bells are ringing, Christmas on it`s way.
Hear the angels singing, what is that they say?
Eat and drink rejoicing, joy is here to stay.
Jesus son of mary is born again today.

(Chorus)

Ivory madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.
Ivory madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.

Biblel - Imperiet[1986]

Imperiet - Biblel af Synd frá 1986




Och jorden snurrade öde och töm
Och allt var tyst över haven
Då hördes en röst ifrån ovan
Och det vart ljus den första dagen

Och rösten sade frambringen frukt
Och må de hava sitt frå på jorden
Och inga brott var ånnu begögna
Den andra dagen kom till norden

Och till sin avbild gjorde rösten en man
Och en kvinna att elska varann
Och dom blev kungar på jordklotets rund
Det var den tredje dagens rand

Så vem skall be for Babylon
Sjung en psalm for Babylon
Fall på knæ for Babylon
Slå på trumman for Babylon
Faller

Man och kvinna lærde sej eld
Och byggde riken och murar
Den fjærde dagen var murarna så långa
Att ingen visste var dom slutade

Och ingen hörde ej længre nögon röst
Hör våxte stæder mot skyarna
Den femte dagen då væren blev höst
Fåll det ett regn över månskobyarna

Och inga murar kan stoppa ett regn
Som faller år efter år
Den sjætte dagen har en röst mig berættat
Var jorden som ett öppet sår

Så vem skall be för Babylon
Sjung en psalm för Babylon
Fall på knæ för Babylon
Slå på trumman för Babylon
Faller

Och jorden snurrade öde och tom
Och allt var tyst över haven
Då hördes en röst ifrön ovan
Och det vart ljus den sjunde dagen

Så vem skall be för Babylon
Sjung en psalm för Babylon
Fall på knå för Babylon
Slå på trumman för Babylon
Faller


Og hér er textinn á ensku af því sumt fólk þykist ekki skilja sænsku:

The earth was spinning all vacant and waste
And there was silence over the ocean
When a voice came thundering from above
The first day of light was in motion

And the voice said may fruits be created
And seeds take root as they may
And no crimes were yet commited
An life was breathing it's second day

And in his image the voice made a man
And a woman to love one another
And they became rulers of the new born globe
And the third day was their mother

Now who will prey for Babylon
Sing a song to Babylon
On their knees the people of Babylon
You beat that drum coz Babylon is falling

Man and woman learn to make fire
And kingdoms and walls were extended
The fourth day the walls were reaching so far
No-one knew how to end them

And no one heard the voice anymore
Metal-cities rose and ascend
The fifth day sprinted in to fall
And a rain fell over the land

There are no walls to stop such a rain
That keeps falling forever more
I was told by a voice the sixth day
The globe was like an open soar

Now who will prey for Babylon
Sing a song to Babylon
On their knees the people of Babylon
You beat that drum coz Babylon is falling

The earth was spinning all vacant and waste
And there was silence over the oceans
When a voice came thundering from above
The seventh day was in motion

Now who will prey for Babylon
Sing a song to Babylon

Sjá hér gamlan svikahrapp
Selja tuskudúkkum happ
Undir yfirskyni því
Að allt sé merkin skrifað í

Stjörnuómerkilegt staut
Er allt hans innantóma taut
Það vekur viðbjóð innan til
Er vísindagyðju daðrar við

Það má víst teljast merkilegt
Hve margir trúa á tungl
Og ótrúlegt hversu illa blekkt
þau álpast inná hans rugl

Þí framtíð fagmannlega er ort
Og færð þar inná stjörnukort
Það líf víst lítils virði er
Sem lætur stjörnur stjórna sér

Aum er afsökunin sú
Er iðrast innilega þú
Af efni í blóraböggul þinn
Er birgur stjörnuglópurinn

Við steina á himni og stjörnustokk
Fær staðföst trúin skjól
Enda algjört auraplokk
Af álfum út úr hól.

Alone...listless...breakfast table in an otherwise empty room
Young girl...violins...center of her own attention
The mother reads aloud child tries to understand it
Tries to make her proud

The shades go down it's in her head
Painted room...can't deny there's something wrong...

Don't call me daughter not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me...

She holds the hand that holds her down
She will...rise above

Don't call me daughter, not fit to

Don't call me daughter, not fit to be

Real Good Looking Boy - The Who[2004]

The Who - Real Good Looking Boy frá 2004



önnur útgáfa

When I think back to the
first time in my childhood
When I saw that face
I thought right then,
'That's a real good looking boy'

I saw myself in the mirror
in profile
for the first time
I thought,
'Hey! That's a real good looking boy'

And I felt then
that I moved
With all those lucky fucks and angels
High in the theatre
In the sky

So I ran to my mother
I said,
'Mom - take a look at me
Have you ever seen a teen
Fly so high?'

That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy

She said,
'Son, well, you know,
you're an ugly boy.
You don't really look like him

In this long line
There's been some
real strange genes
You've got 'em all
You've got 'em all
With some extras thrown in'

That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy

Wise men say
Only fools, only fools rush in
But I - I can't help
Falling in love, in love with you

Now I'm here with you little darling
And you say, 'You're beautiful as you are'
And I've managed somehow to survive

You arrived in my life like a fragrance and
you help me find a way to laugh
Now I Know how so-called beauty lies

God gave him a face
Then he gave me something above
God gave me a grace
Man, he gave me your sweet, sweet, sweet love

You make me feel like I'm a real good looking boy
I feel I'm a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy

Think about my little girl
Her yellow skin and her dark curl
And how her father's heart was frozen
I spoke to her and I said:
"You won't regret the mother you have chosen"
I lied. Where's she tonight?
I left him now we're apart
And I think about his cruel heart
And how his lies have left mine broken
To think that I spoke to him then I said:
"She won't regret the father she has chosen"
I lied. Where's he tonight?
You were precious to me
After all I called you into being
I wanted you to know that
Yes, you were precious to me
And I miss my little boy
I strayed away, so far away
And I need him tonight
To feel his hands around my face
His loving eyes
His happy face
Would be so right
Once I sat in my husbands car
Him in my arms, woke up and saw me crying
My heart wouldn't work
And this he did my special child
He touched my face with his hand and smiled
Oh boy, everything's all right
Don't cry, everything's all right
Don't cry, Jakes's here tonight
Don't hide, Jake's here alive

Say Goodbay - Pere Ubu[1988]

The Tenement year var útgefinn í mars 1988 og innihélt mörg frábær lög. Síðar á því ári fór ég á ógleymanlega tónleika með Pere Ubu í Tunglinu nánar tiltekið 01.okt 1988. S.H. Draumur hituðu upp en það voru lokatónleikar þeirra(á þeim tíma).



David Thomas söngvari Pere Ubu er furðufugl, held að hann sé Votti Jehóvi.Hér talar hann um bolla frá ýmsum hliðum.
David Thomas "Pere Ubu is like a cup"

Fleiri viðtöl hér að neðan:
Dave Thomas of Pere Ubu interwiew
part 1
part 2

The day recedes.
It slides across some boards.
Had some wings.
Had some dusty tides rollin across the floor.
What a strange debris left on a foreign shore.
Who knows how it goes to go walkin out of that door?
Say goodbye - how hard I try.
Say goodbye - how hard I try.

Some air to breathe...
there's no one half so sure as a drowning man who knows he's coming on up for more.
"Gimme worth! Gimme words!"
Well, I heard a man did pray.
I've never known a fear like it - nothing left to say.
Say goodbye - how hard I try.
Say goodbye - how hard I try.

How can I leave you when you won't go away?
To get caught in the middle,
neither night neither day... well I,
I feel so broke up and it's harder to be sure when the whole wide world's slowly rollin out of that door.
Say goodbye - how hard I try.
Say goodbye - how hard I try.

How can I leave you when you won't go away?
Am I a mule or a goat?
Or it's my heart that's bound to stay.
Why, I might be the barricuda's nearest next of kin.
Oh man, here it comes.
They say it's comin on round again.
Say goodbye - how hard I try.
Say goodbye - how hard I try.
Say goodbye - how hard I try.
Say goodbye - how hard I try.

With a circus mind that's running wild
Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams and fairy tales
That's all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind.

When Im sad, she comes to me
With a thousand smiles, she gives to me free
Its alright she says its alright
Take anything you want from me, anything
Anything.

I´m a Cuckoo - Belle and Sebastian[2004]
Belle and Sebastian I´m a cuckoo. Kom út 2004 á Dear Catastrophe Waitress.


Annað tóndæmi á youtube

Heimasíða

I'm glad to see you
I had a funny dream
And you were wearing funny shoes
You were going to a dance
You were dressed like a punk but you are too young to remember

I'm glad to see you
I'm outside the house
I'm not thinking right today
I've got no energy
I'm glad that you are waiting with me
Tell me all about your day

Breaking off is misery
I see a wilderness for you and me
Punctuated by philosophy
I'm wondering how things could've been

I'm happy for you
You've made it hard for me
I counted on your company
You are staying with your friends tonight
I'm feeling sorry for myself
I keep taking everything to be a sign

I'm happy for you
But now I know this hurt is poison
Too sharp to be bled
I'm sitting on my empty bed
I'm on my empty bed
At night the fever grows it's pounding pounding

I'd rather be in Tokyo
I'd rather listen to Thin Lizzy-oh
And watch the Sunday gang in Harajuku
There's something wrong with me, I'm a cuckoo

Scary moment, lovin' every moment
I was high from playing shows
We lost a singer to her clothes
My trouble raised its ugly head
I was revealed
And I was home in bed
I was a kid again

Jesus told me, go after every coin like it was the last in the world
And protect the wayward child
But I'm a little lost sheep
I need my Bo Peep
You know I need My Shepherd here tonight

Breaking off is misery
I see a wilderness for you and me
Punctuated by philosophy
I'm wondering how things could've been

I'd like to see you
But really I should stay away
And let you settle down
I've got no claims to your crown
I was the boss of you
And I loved you
You know I loved you
It's all over now

And I was there for you
When you were lonely
I was there when you were bad
I was there when you were sad
Now it's my time of need
I'm thinking, do I have to plead to get you by my side?

I'd rather be in Tokyo
I'd rather listen to Thin Lizzy-oh
And watch the Sunday gang in Harajuku
There's something wrong with me, I'm a cuckoo

The Ship Song - Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds[1990]

Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds - The Ship Song af The Good Son frá 1990



Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around

Come loose your dogs upon me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
Every time you come around

We talk about it all night long
We define our moral ground
But when I crawl into your arms
Everything comes tumbling down

Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around

Your face has fallen sad now
For you know the time is nigh
When I must remove your wings
And you, you must try to fly

Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around

Come loose your dogs upon me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
Every time you come around

When we all give the power
We all give the best
Every minute in the hour
We don't think about the rest

And we all get the power
We all get the best
When everyone gives everything
Then everyone everything will get
Life is life!

Life is life
When we all feel the power
Life is life
When we all feel the pain
Life is life
It's the feeling of the people
Life is life
It is the feeling of the land.

When we all give the power
We all give the best
Every minute in the hour
We don't think about the rest
And everyone gives everything
And every soul everyone will feel
Life is life!

And we're all glad it's over
We thought it would last
Every minute of the future
Is a memory of the past
Coz' we gave all the power
We gave all the best
And everyone lost everything
And perished with the rest.
Life is life!

Kvikmyndin Control brot úr laginu She lost control
Joy Division - She's Lost Control (Performance From Control)

Confusion in her eyes that says it all.
She's lost control.
And she's clinging to the nearest passer by,
She's lost control.
And she gave away the secrets of her past,
And said I've lost control again,
And a voice that told her when and where to act,
She said I've lost control again.

And she turned around and took me by the hand and said,
I've lost control again.
And how I'll never know just why or understand,
She said I've lost control again.
And she screamed out kicking on her side and said,
I've lost control again.
And seized up on the floor, I thought she'd die.
She said I've lost control.
She's lost control again.
She's lost control.
She's lost control again.
She's lost control.

Well I had to 'phone her friend to state my case,
And say she's lost control again.
And she showed up all the errors and mistakes,
And said I've lost control again.
But she expressed herself in many different ways,
Until she lost control again.
And walked upon the edge of no escape,
And laughed I've lost control.
She's lost control again.
She's lost control.
She's lost control again.
She's lost control.

The End - The Doors[1967]

The Doors - The End af fyrstu plötu þeirra félaga sem tekin var upp ágúst 1966 en kom út í janúar 1967.

Lagið á Youtube hér

Orgínal plötuútgáfan

The End
This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend
The end of our elaborate plans
The end of everything that stands
The end

No safety or surprise
The end
I'll never look into your eyes again

Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need of some stranger's hand
In a desperate land

Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain
There's danger on the edge of town
Ride the King's highway
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway West, baby

Ride the snake
Ride the snake
To the lake
To the lake

The ancient lake, baby
The snake is long
Seven miles
Ride the snake

He's old
And his skin is cold
The West is the best
The West is the best
Get here and we'll do the rest

The blue bus is calling us
The blue bus is calling us
Driver, where are you taking us?

The killer awoke before dawn
He put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall

He went into the room where his sister lived
And then he paid a visit to his brother
And then he walked on down the hall
And he came to a door
And he looked inside
Father
Yes son?
I want to kill you
Mother, I want to. . .

C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
And meet me at the back of the blue bus

This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend
The end

It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me

The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die

This is the end

Gregorian – Crying in the Rain

Kom út á Masters of Chant Chapter VI árið 2007

Lagið hér á Youtube

http://www.wikimusicguide.com/Gregorian

I'll never let you see
The way my broken heart is hurting me
I've got my pride and I know how to hide
All the sorrow and pain
I'll do my crying in the rain

If I wait for cloudy skies
You won't know the rain from the tears in my eyes
You'll never know that I still love you
So though the heartaches remain
I'll do my crying in the rain

Raindrops falling from heaven
Will never wash away my misery
But since we're not together
I'll wait for stormy weather
To hide these tears I hope you'll never see

Someday when my crying's done
I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool
But till then, darling, you'll never see me complain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain

Should I fly Los Angeles
Find my asshole brother

We're so bored you're to blame

Chorus:
Try to see it once my way
Everything zen (x2)
I don't think so

A million dollars a steak
As you search for your demi-god
And you fake with a saint
There's no sex in your violence (x4)

I don't believe that Elvis is dead, yes

Ákvörðun er tekin,ekki aftur snúið.
Áður en það byrjaði var það búið.
Vinnið,sofið,étið,hver sem betur getur.
Ég geri það ekki svo ykkur líði betur
Hvort sem ég vel mér
Byssu eða hníf,
Þá er þetta mitt líf
Verið ekki að syrgja,
Ég valdi mér stund og stað.
Þó vafalaust mun verða talað um það.
Hættið að pæla, þetta var ákveðið stig fyrir stig.
Svo þið getið alveg sleppt því að sálgreina mig.
Með þessu marga
Ég til meðvitundar hríf,
En munið samt
Þetta var mitt líf.

Tilnefning nr. 239 - Hörður

Engin ævintýri - S.H. draumur[1988]
Næstu tilnefningar mínar verða svona frekar í harðari kantinum. S.H. draumur ríður hér á vaðið með stórkostlegt lag "Engin Ævintýri" sem kom út á hinni kyngimögnuðu hljómplötu "Goð" árið 1988. Platan var svo endurútgefin með aukaefni fyrir skemmstu.

Tilnefning nr. 238 - Kjartan

Pay for me - The National[2001]
The National - Pay for Me af plöttu samnefndri hljómsveitinni frá 2001



I thought I'd come to you
And your long lazy scene
Instate direction, finger on a magazine.
I'd call you when I need you
I can't get used to your new name.

Send a body double over with your keys
She'll see you in an hour
Everybody quiet please.
Essex house is down the road
The actors want to be alone.

Your room is still and soft
As a jeweler's.
Incidental music coming down the hall
Remember when I never had to wait for you at all?
I wish my hands were yours as I lay your keys
On a magazine.

Take me to LaGuardia
My baby's gonna pay for me.

Bottle from the duty-free
I'll drink it all across the sea.
Lay me down business class
Headphones and a sleeping mask.

She's gonna pay for me
She's gonna pay for me.

Brother, I wish you were home
Just tell me you're not alone
Call me back; I'm on a plane
I think I'm somewhere over spain.
I'm in the dark without the stars
I've never seen a black suit dark
Thought I'd be above the rain
Somewhere on a higher plane.

Oh brother, I wish you were home
My brother, I wish you were home.

Baby, you're asleep by now
You never stayed awake for me
You never waited up for me,
No, you never waited up for me!
Now there's nothing I can do
I lost you but I beat the sound
Couldn't if I wanted to
The cogwheel doesn't turn around!

Oh brother, I wish you were home
My baby is in a room alone.

My brother, I wish you were home.

Better off without a wife - Tom Waits[1975]

Meistari Tom Waits - Better off without a wife

Nighthawks at the Diner – 1975



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1eVabOOS5A&feature=related

all my friends are married
every Tom and Dick and Harry
you must be strong
to go it alone
here's to the bachelors
and the bowery bums
and those who feel that they're the ones
who are better off without a wife

I like to sleep until the crack of noon
midnight howlin' at the moon
goin' out when I wanto, comin' home when I please
I don't have to ask permission
if I want to go out fishing
and I never have to ask for the keys

never been no Valentino
had a girl who lived in Reno
left me for a trumpet player
didn't get me down
he was wanted for assault
though he said it weren't his fault
well the coppers rode him right
out of town

(chorus)

selfish about my privacy
as long as I can be with me
we get along so well I can't believe
I love to chew the fat with folks
and listen to all your dirty jokes
I'm so thankful for these friends
I do receive

My Generation - The Who[1965]



Hljómsveitin Who hefur fengið viðurnefnið "háværasta hljómsveit í heimi". Lagið My Generation kom út á smáskífu árið 1965 og var titilag samnefndrar breiðskífu. Flott lag hjá þeim. Ekkert svakalega háværir.



The Who - My generation- live at leeds

Frábært sóló hér á ferð:
The Who - Amazing guitar solo after My Generation - Leeds 1970

People try to put us d-down (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Just because we get around (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Things they do look awful c-c-cold (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I hope I die before I get old (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

This is my generation
This is my generation, baby

Why don't you all f-fade away (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
And don't try to dig what we all s-s-say (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I'm not trying to cause a big s-s-sensation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I'm just talkin' 'bout my g-g-g-generation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

This is my generation
This is my generation, baby

Why don't you all f-fade away (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
And don't try to d-dig what we all s-s-say (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I'm not trying to cause a b-big s-s-sensation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I'm just talkin' 'bout my g-g-generation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

This is my generation
This is my generation, baby

People try to put us d-down (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Just because we g-g-get around (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Things they do look awful c-c-cold (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Yeah, I hope I die before I get old (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

This is my generation
This is my generation, baby

Cruise - David Gilmore[1984]


David Gilmore - Cruise af About Face frá 1984



Cruise you are making me sing
Now you have taken me under your wing
Cruise, we both know you're the best
How can they say you're like all the rest

Cruise, we're both travelling so far
Burning out fast like a shooting star
Cruise I feel sure that your song will be sung
And will ring in the ears of everyone

Saving our children, saving our land
Protecting us from things we can't understand
Power and Glory, Justice and Right
I'm sure that you'll help us to see the light
And the love that you radiate will keep us warm
And help us to weather the storm

Cruise, you have taken me in
And just when I've got you under my skin
You start ignoring the fears I have felt
'Cause you know you can always make my poor heart melt

Please don't take what I'm saying amiss
Or misunderstand at a time such as this
Because if such close friends should ever fall out
What would there be left worth fighting about

Power and glory, justice and right
I'm sure that you'll help them to see the light
Will you save our children, will you save our land
And protect us from all the things we can't understand?
Power and glory and justice for all
Who will we turn to when your hard rain falls?

Værð - Gildran[1988]


Nú er komið að snillingunum í Gildrunni.

Værð sem kom út á Hugarfóstur árið 1988



Þú komst með vorið um vetrarnótt
og vafðir hugann minn
Í húminu bærðist vindurinn
Hann himneskan heyrði sönginn þinn
Um ástir og eilífan dans
Um ástir og eilífan dans
Þú söngst í rjóðri um sólarlag
og fluttir sálminn þinn
Í kyrrðinni kvaddi helkuldinn
Hann heilagan kveikti neistann minn
Um ástir og eilífan dans
Um ástir og eilífan dans
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm.
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm.
Þú varst með völdin um vetrarnótt
og sýndir styrkinn þinn
Á heiðinn heyrðist hljómurinn
Hann háfleygann hreyfði drauminn minn
Um ástir og eilífan dans
Um ástir og eilífan dans
Um ástir og eilífan dans
Um ástir og eilífan dans
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm.
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm.

Tilnefning nr. 233 - Hörður

Happiness is easy - Talk Talk[1986]
Önnur tilnefning mín með þessari frábæru hljómsveit. Þrælgott lag eins og platan Colour of spring í heild sinni. Skyldueign tónlistaráhugamanna. Kom út árið 1986 og var örugglega með betri plötum það árið. Get lofað ykkur því að þetta lag hefur ekki verið spilað á sveitaballi. Óhætt er að taka undir ummæli er koma með youtube vídeói lagsins "Talk Talk are the Pink Floyd of the 80's"



Makes you feel much older
Sublime the blind parade
It wrecks me how they justify their acts of war
They assemble, they pray
Take good care of what the priests say
After death it's so much fun'
Little sheep don't let your feet stray
Happiness is easy
Joy be written upon the earth
And the sky above
Jesus star that shines so bright
Gather us in love
Guilt upon their shoulders
How well the cause evades
Infecting your religions, claiming pacts
It's easy to shoulder the blame
Happiness is easy
Little ships of Galilee
Happiness is easy
Standing on the sea
Happiness is easy
Jesus tried to love us all
Happiness is easy
Be a friend to me
Happiness is easy
Try to teach my children
To recognise excuse before it acts
>From love and conviction to pray
Take good care of what the priests say
'After death it's so much fun'
Little sheep don't let your feet stray
Happiness is easy
Little ships of Galilee
Standing on the sea
Jesus tried to love us all
Be
a friend to me
Joy be written upon the earth
And the sky above
Jesus star that shines so bright
Gather us in love

Where are the angels - Eivør Pálsdóttir


Eivør Pálsdóttir - Where are the angels



You gave it all away you took me home
Pearl in the pale moonlight your skin shone
Then you whispered in my ear good sleep my friend
All our love is given and our hearts will mend

We saw that crazy king again with his lies and fear and shame
He was talking about genocide and learning everybodies name
Has he really always been this way full of hopeless tomorrows
He's stolen the sacred key and locked men in sorrow

Where are the angels
Where are the angels

This old dirt road this grey sky day
Sometimes the world gets old and I feel so insane
Then you whisper in my ear it's ok my friend
All our love is given and our hearts will mend
