Tilnefning nr. 29 - Hörður

7 seconds - Youssou N'Dour and Neneh Cherry[1994]





Youssou N'Dour er fæddur 01.október 1959 og kemur frá Senegal og er líklega einn frægasti tónlistarmaður Afríku. Hann hefur m.a. starfað með tónlistarmönnum á borð við Peter Gabriel, Sting, Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon o.fl. Þessi drengur(maður) er með ótrúlega rödd. Neneh Cherry er hins vegar sænsk, syngur vel er mér óhætt að segja. Lagið stendur vel fyrir sínu kom út á breiðskífu Youssou N'Dour "The Guide(Wommat)" og síðar á breiðskífu Neneh Cherry "Man". Lag þetta á því sannarlega skilið að verða tilnefnt.

Don't see me from a distance
Don't look at my smile
And think that I don't know
What's under and behind me
I don't want you to look at me and think
What's in you is in me
What's in me is to help them
I assume the reasons that push us to change everything
I would like us to forget about their color
So they can try to be optimistic
Too many views on rave that make them desparate
Let's leave the door wide open
So they can talk about their pain and joy
Then we can give them information
That will bring us all together
Chorus:
It's not a second
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
Nothing can move us, we should be moving
from the ones who practice wicked charms
For the son and the stone
Bad to the bone
Man is not evil, even when it's born
And when a child is born into this world
It has no concept
The tone the skin is living in
(chorus)
There's a million voices
There's a million voices
To tell you what she should be thinking
so you better sober up for a second

What Difference Does It Make? - The smiths[1984]



Tekið af plötunni The Smiths



Tóndæmi 2 á Youtube
Tóndæmi 3 á Youtube


All men have secrets and here is mine
So let it be known
For we have been through hell and high tide
I think I can rely on you ...
And yet you start to recoil
Heavy words are so lightly thrown
But still I'd leap in front of a flying bullet for you

So, what difference does it make ?
So, what difference does it make ?
It makes none
But now you have gone
And you must be looking very old tonight


The devil will find work for idle hands to do
I stole and I lied, and why ?
Because you asked me to !
But now you make me feel so ashamed
Because I've only got two hands
Well, I'm still fond of you, oh-ho-oh


So, what difference does it make ?
Oh, what difference does it make ?
Oh, it makes none
But now you have gone
And your prejudice won't keep you warm tonight


Oh, the devil will find work for idle hands to do
I stole, and then I lied
Just because you asked me to
But now you know the truth about me
You won't see me anymore
Well, I'm still fond of you, oh-ho-oh


But no more apologies
No more, no more apologies
Oh, I'm too tired
I'm so sick and tired
And I'm feeling very sick and ill today
But I'm still fond of you, oh-ho-oh


Oh, my sacred one ...
Oh ...

Johannesburg - Housemartins[1987]

Nú er komið að Housemartins – Johannesburg .
Líklega ekki eitt af þekktari lögum þeirra en er búið að vera lengi í miklu uppáhaldi hjá mér. Lagið kom fyrst út 1987 á „The People Who Grinned Themselves to Death“



Housemartins á wikipedia

Johannesburg

Please don’t show your soul to me
I think I’d see the light shine through
And please don’t greet me on the street
I’d like to see a world without you
Please don’t change your uniform
And start to mourn the thousands dead
And please wear what you’ve always worn
And don’t be drawn by what I’ve said

’cause I’ve found there’s nothing more
That I could say to you
Nothing I could do to change your mind
Change your ways and your tune

So please don’t feel you have to sway
Or move away from how you feel
And please say what you mean to say
And always stay with a heart of steel

Shiny Happy People - R.E.M.[1991]

Mér er þetta lag afar minnisstætt vegna dvalar minnar á Benidorm sumarið 1991 en lagið var spilað mikið í sumarhitanum. Þetta lag kom út á smáskífu í maí sama ár og endaði í 6.sæti breska smáskífulistans. Þess má geta að Kate Pierson í B-52s lánaði söngpípu sína sína í þessu lagi og gerir það snilldarlega.



Nánar á www.songfacts.com

Shiny happy people laughing
Meet me in the crowd
People people
Throw your love around
Love me love me
Take it into town
Happy happy
Put it in the ground
Where the flowers grow
Gold and silver shine

Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people laughing

Everyone around love them, love them
Put it in your hands
Take it take it
There's no time to cry
Happy happy
Put it in your heart
Where tomorrow shines
Gold and silver shine

Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people laughing

Tvær stjörnur - Megas[2002]

Ég vil sjá þetta meistaraverk á listanum

Megas – Tvær stjörnur
Þetta lag kom út 2002 á Englaryk í tímaglasi.



Allnokkrir hafa spreytt sig á þessu lagi.. með misgóðum árangri
Youtube 1
Youtube 2

Tíminn flýgur áfram
og hann teymir mig á eftir sér
og ekki fæ ég miklu ráðið
um það hvert hann fer.
En ég vona bara að hann
hugsi svolítið hlýlega til mín
og leiði mig á endanum aftur til þín.

Ég gaf þér forðum
keðju úr gulli um hálsinn þinn,
svo gleymdir þú mér ekki
í dagsins amstri nokkurt sinn.
Í augunum þínum svörtu horfði
ég á sjálfan mig um hríð
og ég vonaði að ég fengi
bara að vera þar alla tíð.

Það er margt sem angrar
en ekki er það þó biðin
Því ég sé það fyrst á rykinu,
hve langur tími er liðinn.
Og ég skrifa þar eitthvað með
fingrinum sem skiptir öllu máli.
Því að nóttin mín er dimm
og ein og dagurinn á báli.

Já, og andlitið þitt málað,
hve ég man það alltaf skýrt,
augnlínur og bleikar varir,
brosið svo hýrt.
Jú ég veit vel, að ókeypis
er allt það sem er best.
En svo þarf ég að greiða
dýru verði það sem er verst.

Ég sakna þín í birtingu
að hafa þig ekki við hlið mér
og ég sakna þín á daginn
þegar sólin brosir við mér.
Og ég sakna þín á kvöldin
þegar dimman dettur á.
En ég sakna þín mest á nóttinni
er svipirnir fara á stjá.

Svo lít ég upp og sé
við erum saman þarna tvær
stjörnur á blárri festingunni
sem færast nær og nær.
Ég man þig þegar augun mín
eru opin, hverja stund.
En þegar ég nú legg þau aftur,
fer ég á þinn fund.

Lola - The Kinks[1970]



Stórkostleg lag í léttari kantinum, náði m.a. 2. sæti breska smáskífulistans.
Kom út á breiðskífunni Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One

I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola [LP version:
Coca-Cola]
C-O-L-A cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a DARK BROWN voice she said Lola
L-O-L-A Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

Well I'm not the world's most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man
Oh my Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

Well we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
And said little boy won't you come home with me
Well I'm not the world's most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes well I almost fell for my Lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

I pushed her away
I walked to the door
I fell to the floor
I got down on my knees
Well I looked at her and she at me

Well that's the way that I want it to stay
And I'll always want it to be that way for my Lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for Lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

Well I'd left home just a week before
And I'd never ever kissed a woman before
But Lola smiled and took me by the hand
And said little boy I'm gonna make you a man

Well I'm not the world's most masculine man
But I know what I am and IN BED I'm a man
And so is Lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore - The Smiths[1985]



Lag af Meat is murder



Nánar á songfacts

park the car at the side of the road
you should know, time's tide will smother you
and I will too
when you laugh about people who feel so very lonely
their only desire is to die
well, I'm afraid it doesn't make me smile
I wish I could laugh

but that joke isn't funny anymore
it's too close to home
and it's too near the bone
it's too close to home
and it's too near the bone
more than you'll ever know

why must you kick them when they fall down?

It was dark as I drove the point home
and on cold leather seats
well, it suddenly struck me
I just might die with a smile on my face
after all

I've seen this happen in other peoples' lives
and now it's happening in mine...

It was Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won't see another one
And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you
Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So happy Christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true
They've got cars big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It's no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me
You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of New York City
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging,
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night
The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day
You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God it's our last
I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you

Þetta lag kom út 1989 á meistaraverkinu - Manic, Magic, Majestic



BRIDE
If I sold my belongings
Bought you some flowers
Would you still keep me waiting
Hour upon hour
Of course there are things that I've said
When I should not have spoken
Such careless words
Hearts have been broken
Could we make a new start?
We can't live together
But can we live apart
God! The way you walk in and out of my life
With these tales to tell
Thoughts as deep and as pure
As your chalice well
My feet on the ground to your head in the stars
You say i need to look up like you need to get out
But woah, i have my doubts
And Su, I'm not so sure
But if dreams would see us through
Postcards, letters, phonecalls too
I'm trying to be as celestial as you
You give me something only what I don't know
I just know the boat leaves
And with that my heart grieves
And when I sold our bed
I lost my head
I've sold our belongings
And bought you some flowers
Some Bessejeneever
Let's sit on the floor and get bombed
One last time
And in a station's cafe
We purged our pasts

Here's Where The Story Ends - The Sundays[1990]



Þegar þessi hljómsveit steig fram var því spáð að þetta væri hin nýja "The Smiths".
Ekki gekk það nú alveg eftir en áttu þó ágæta spretti í upphafi síns ferils. Lagið er tekið af fyrstu plötu sveitarinnar Reading, Writing and Arithmetic. Kallast þetta ekki gáfumannapopp?




people I know, places I go, make me feel tongue-tied
I can see how people look down, they're on the inside
here's where the story ends
people I see, weary of me showing my good side
I can see how people look down
I'm on the outside
here's where the story ends
ooh here's where the story ends

it's that little souvenir of a terrible year
which makes my eyes feel sore
oh I never should have said, the books that you read
were all I loved you for
it's that little souvenir of a terrible year
which makes me wonder why
and it's the memories of your shed that make me turn red
surprise, surprise, surprise

crazy I know, places I go
make me feel so tired
I can see how people look down
I'm on the outside
oh here's where the story ends
ooh here's where the story ends

it's that little souvenir of a terrible year
which makes my eyes feel sore
and who ever would've thought the books that you brought
were all I loved you for
oh the devil in me said, go down to the shed
I know where I belong
but the only thing I ever really wanted to say
was wrong, was wrong, was wrong

it's that little souvenir of a colourful year
which makes me smile inside
so I cynically, cynically say, the world is that way
surprise, surprise, surprise, surprise, surprise
here's where the story ends
ooh here's where the story ends

Walk on, through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed

And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

At the record company party
On their hands - a dead star
The sycophantic slags all say :

Double-pack with a photograph

(sadly this was your life)


But you could have said no
If you'd wanted to
You could have walked away
...Couldn't you ?


I touched you at the soundcheck
You had no real way of knowing
In my heart I begged "Take me with you ...
I don't care where you're going..."


But to you I was faceless
I was fawning, I was boring
Just a child from those ugly new houses
Who could never begin to know


Who could never really know
Oh ...


Best of ! Most of !
Satiate the need
Slip them into different sleeves !
Buy both, and feel deceived


Climber - new entry, re-entry

"Please the Press in Belgium !"
(THIS was your life...)


And when it fails to recoup ?
Well, maybe :
You just haven't earned it yet, baby


I walked a pace behind you at the soundcheck
You're just the same as I am
What makes most people feel happy
Leads us headlong into harm


So, in my bedroom in those 'ugly new houses'
I danced my legs down to the knees
But me and my 'true love'
Will never meet again ...


At the record company meeting
On their hands - at last ! - a dead star !
But they can never taint you in my eyes
No, they can never touch you now


No, they cannot hurt you, my darling
They cannot touch you now
But me and my 'true love'
Will never meet again

Live 2005

Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms
Too late to beg you or cancel it
Though I know it must be the killing time
Unwillingly mine


Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him


In starlit nights I saw you
So cruelly you kissed me
Your lips a magic world
Your sky all hung with jewels
The killing moon
Will come too soon


Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him


Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms
Too late to beg you or cancel it
Though I know it must be the killing time
Unwillingly mine


Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him


Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
You give yourself to him


La la la la la...


Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him


La la la la la...


Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him


Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him


La la la la la...

Suffragette City - David Bowie[1972]




Bowie hefur nú gefið út ógrynni frábærra laga. Þetta lag er tvímælalaust eitt af hans betri lögum, kemur manni alltaf í gott skap. Smáskífan var útgefinn 9.júlí 1976þótt lagið hafi fyrst komið út á breiðskífunni “The Rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from mars” í júní 1972. Það er nokkuð öruggt að fleiri lög meistarans muni rata hér inn.

Spanish Bombs – The Clash[1979]

Nú vil ég tilnefna frábært lag með þeirri mögnuðu hljómsveit Clash.
Æðislegt lag !! Þetta er bara fyrsta Clash lagið sem verður tilnefnt...það er á hreinu. The Clash – Spanish Bombs
Spanish Bombs kom út 1979 á London Calling og flokkast víst sem pönk-rokk.

Nánari upplýsingar á songfacts.com



Spanish songs in Andalucia
The shooting sites in the days of '39
Oh, please, leave the vendanna open
Fredrico Lorca is dead and gone
Bullet holes in the cemetery walls
The black cars of the Guardia Civil
Spanish bombs on the Costa Rica
I'm flying in a DC 10 tonight

CHORUS
Spanish bomb
yo te quiero infinito
yo te quiero oh mi corazon
Spanish bombs
yo te quiero infinito
yo te quiero oh mi corazon

Spanish weeks in my disco casino
The freedom fighters died upon the hill
They sang the red flag
They wore the black one
But after they died it was Mockingbird Hill
Back home the buses went up in flashes
The Irish tomb was drenched in blood
Spanish bombs shatter the hotels
My senorita's rose was nipped in the bud

CHORUS

The hillsides ring with "Free the people"
Or can I hear the echo from the days of '39?
With trenches full of poets
The ragged army, fixin' bayonets to fight the other line
Spanish bombs rock the province
I'm hearing music from another time
Spanish bombs on the Costa Brava
I'm flying in on a DC 10 tonight
Spanish songs in Andalucia, Mandolina, oh mi corazon
Spanish songs in Granada, oh mi corazon

Blindsker - Blús fyrir Rikka[1986]

Fróðleikur sjá hér

Skömmu áður en Avindurinn sofnar uppi á Ghæðunum
eins og morgun Adöggin sprettur svitinn Gfram.
Andartaki áður en Anýr dagur kemur með póstGinum
ákveður sólAin að hylja sinn Gharm.

Og ég veit að ég þarf að leika sama Dleikinn,
veruleikinn er eins og gömul Dmynd.
Ég sest niður með kaffi, set Bowie á Dfóninn.
Þitt uppáhalds Dlag var "Wild is the wind".

Öll þessi ár sem gáfu okkur það
sem aðrir óskuðu sér.
Elskendur í stormi
sem aldrei sáu að ástin var
aðeins Gblindsker.

Ég geng sömu götununa, hitti sama fólkið,
geri sömu hlutina og ég gerði með þér.
Þó dagurinn sé sá sami er það ekki sama nóttin,
því nóttin var okkar tími til að byrja með.

Og ég veit að ég þarf að leika sama leikinn,
veruleikinn er eins og gömul mynd.
Ég sest niður með kaffi, set Bowie á fóninn.
Þitt uppáhalds lag var "Wild is the wind".

Tilnefning nr. 9 - Kjartan

Vertu mér samferða inní blómalandið amma - Megas[1972]



Textinn er svohljóðandi:

Á sunnudögum þegar kristur tárum tefur
tillögu frá Guði um þungaskatt

á gúmmívöru þá hefur María í myrkrinu
mök við grímuklætt útfrymi með pípuhatt.

En guð býr í gasbindinu amma.
Æ! Geymdu handa mér meyjarblómið amma.

Á mánudögum þegar kristur kennir
kærustunnarinnar og mér um allt sem miður fer
og Jesaja spámaður spáir eins og galinn
og spýtir um tönn og bölvar enn og mér.

En Guð býr í glötunnin amma.
Æ! Geymdu handa mér meyjarblómið amma.

Á Þriðjudögum þegar kristur kemur
á K.F.U.M.- fund og gefur börnumum dóp
og segir: „Komið til mín ef þið viljið meira.“
og þau mæla ekki orð en fylgja honum eftir í hóp.

En Guð býr í galeiðunni amma.
Æ! Geymdu handa mér meyjarblómið amma.

Á daginn (miðvikudögum) þegar Kristur klappar,
þér á kúluvömbina og dæsir og segir: „Nú!“
og skipar þér höstuglega að koma með krossinn,
Kalddal sé væntanlegur klukka þrjú.

En Guð býr í gúmmíinu amma.
Æ! Geymdu handa mér meyjarblómið amma.

Á miðvikudögum (síðkvöldum) þegar Kristur kaupir
sér kúmenbrennivín á leyndum stað
og drekkur uns hann dettur útaf blindur
og deyr og rís upp þunnur og fer í bað.

En Guð býr í girðingunni amma.
Æ! Geymdu handa mér meyjarblómið amma.



Á fimmtudögum þegar Kristur keyrir
í Kátiljáknum upp að húsinum sem þeir kenna við Grím
og klifrar upp turninn á nóinu og talar tungum
tveim, um ráðherrastóla og fiskilím.

En Guð býr í gjaldheimtunni amma.
Æ! Geymdu handa mér meyjarblómið amma.

Og í svartnættinu þegar Kristur kynnir
sér í Kauphöllinni hvort gengið það verði fellt
og menn segja: „Jú, jú.“ Og hann upp í Hjólbarðann
hamstra dekk til að geta geymt og selt.

En Guð býr í gengishruni amma
Æ! Geymdu handa mér meyjarblómið amma.

Á föstudögum þegar kristur kinkar
til þín kolli og tautar: „Það er fullkomnað“
og þú ert það fífl að fatta ekki djókinn,
fyllir geyminn og ekur strax af stað.

En Guð býr í gaddavírnum amma.
Æ! Geymdu handa mér meyjarblómið amma.

En á laugardögum þegar Kristur klæmist
vita konur á barnsfeðrum sínum pottþétt skil
og Silli og Valdi, þeir segjast hafa legið
sæla Maríu áður en Guð kom til.

En Guð býr í garðslöngunni amma.
Æ! Geymdu handa mér meyjarblómið amma.

Christine - The House of love[1988]






Á ferli sínum gaf hljómsveitin The House of love út eina frábæra breiðskífu. Lagið Christine var útgefið á smáskífu 1988 og hlaut vinsældir fyrir. Hérer á ferðinni lag sem margir eru eflaust búnir að gleyma en stendur svo sannarlega fyrir sínu.



Christine - Still walking at me
Still talking at me
Christine - Such a sense of loss
and the baby cried
Christine
Christine

And the whole world dragged us down
The whole world turned aside

Christine - You're in deep, pristine
- With a god-like glow
Christine - Christine - Heart and the glory and me
Chaos and the big sea

Christine - Still walking at me
Still talking at me
Christine
Christine
Christine

And the whole world dragged us down
Not a sonnet not a sound
And the whole world turned aside
The cruelest hand just turned an eye

Christine

Blue Monday - New Order[1983]




Nú vil ég koma ykkur á óvart – hér er þriðja tilnefning mín.....og haldið ykkur fast...spennið beltin og nagið neglurnar.....

New Order - Blue Monday

Þarf ekkert að ræða þetta lag mikið....tær snilld- minnir nú að þið hafið einhvern tímann dillað ykkur með þessu lagi. Var á mest seldu tólf tommu allra tíma í Bretlandi.

Kom út 1983 á tólf tommu – en síðan 1987 á safnplötunni Substance.

"Blue Monday"

How does it feel
To treat me like you do
When you've laid laid your hands upon me
And told me who you are

I thought I was mistaken
I thought I heard your words
Tell me how do I feel
Tell me now how do I feel

Those who came before me
Lived through their vocations
From the past until completion
They will turn away no more

And I still find it so hard
To say what I need to say
But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me
Just how I should feel today

I see a ship in the harbor
I can and shall obey
But if it wasn't for your misfortunes
I'd be a heavenly person today

And I thought I was mistaken
And I thought I heard you speak
Tell me how do I feel
Tell me now how should I feel

Now I stand here waiting

I thought I told you to leave me
While I walked down to the beach
Tell me how does it feel
When your heart grows cold
(grows cold, grows cold, grows cold)

Luftgitar - The Sugarcubes & Johnny Triumph[1988]



Þetta er eitt af þeim lögum sem fær mann til þess að detta í rétta gírinn.
Sjón í hlutverki Johnny Triumph fer á kostum. Ógleymanlegur á Roskilde Festival um árið.



Björk
Luftgítar! Go go!

Johnny Triumph
Ég dansa ekki
Stelpur dansa
Ég dansa ekki
Ég stíg inn í skuggan

Ég dansa ekki
Ég fer undir sviðið
Ég dansa ekki
Ég geri Luftgítar

Ósýnilegur - Hann er minn, minn, minn
Ósýnilegur - Ég set hendi á mjöðm
Ósýnilegur - Ég set hina ut
Ósýnilegur - Hann er Luftgítar

Björk
Luftgítar! Go go!

Johnny Triumph
Ég toga hann og teygi
Hann hendist ut og suður
Ég beygla hann og beygi
Hann þeytist fram og aftur
Ég sveifla og sveigi
Hann fer upp og niður

Björk
Luftgítar! Go go!

Johnny Triumph
Ég er Luftgítar - Þrýstu honum að þér
Ég er Luftgítar - Strjúktu hann allan
Ég er Luftgítar - Komiði strákar
Ég er Luftgítar - Allir í hring

Luftgítar!

John E, Smoke - Butthole Surfers[1988]

Næsta lag sem ég tilnefni....fær nú sæti hér frekar fyrir skemmtanagildi
heldur en gæði



This here a song, is about John W Smoke Junior
It's about bein' in love and lovin' the love that's hatin' the love
the love and the love and the hate that's lovin with all
It's around the love that's hate that's the hate that's the love
And the love is the love that is the hate that's hatin' the love,
it's lovin' the hate
It's about John W Smoke's mom, it's with his mom
it's about his mom it's about his mom it's about lovin his mom
and bein' without his mom and lovin' the hate that's hatin' the love
and his mom and all the time they're there
Hatin' the hate that's lovin' the hate it's love it's the love that's hate
And it goes somethin' about like this
John E Smoke, oh John E Smoke
John Smoke, oh John E Smoke
Whaoh John E Smoke, John E John E John E John
John, John Smoke
John E Smoke
Here we go
John, John was a little crippled midget lesbian boy
but stood ten foot tall with a knife
Pretty soon the mole had appeared on John's left leg
and rope like, it extended out 469 different miles
and verily verily it was 69 different nuns
speaking simultaneously to John in 69 different languages
And then it evolved itself and it was the legless dog that became
a cyclone out of John's father's fore head
And there is was like a twinkie with a halo storm in it
and it revolved down into the sky and talked to John
like he was a little puppy himself
And John said that I am not the magma, I am not the crust
and I shall evolve when the rain had come down here and washed on John
And he said that I will be a cigarette butt before it's all done with
And they said no, you are the flame itself and you shall burn pure
in the South American sky where the blooddogs worship the stairway
John E Smoke, oh John E Smoke
oh John Smoke, ooo OW!
John E Smoke, oh John E Smoke
oh oh John E Smoke
oh John E John E John E John E John E John E John E John E John E
John E John E Jooooooooooooooooo
And so brainlessly leglessly hairlessly the foil tip top of itself,
and revealed to John that the QE 2 luxury liner extended out of John's left
side
And so it had preach you in Mars with a saran backwards
and upwardly they did evolve

How Soon is Now? - The Smiths[1984]



Lagið How soon is now? var upphaflega gefið út sem B hliðar smáskífulag. Aðallagið á smáskifunni var “William it was really nothing”. Þetta var í águst 1984. How soon is now kom svo á safnplötunni “Hatful of hallow" í nóvember 1984. Í febrúar 1985 var svo How soon is now? endurútgefið á smáskífu og þá sem aðallagið og endaði í 24 sæti breska smáskífulistans. Það þarf ekki að orðlengja þetta frekar, hér er á ferðinni hrein og bein klassík. Klárlega besta B smáskífulag allra tíma.

Textinn fylgir svo hér með. Að sjálfsögðu sá Morrissey um þá smíði.

I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way ?
I am Human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Oh, of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way ?
I am Human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

There's a club, if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go, and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home, and you cry
And you want to die

When you say it's gonna happen "now"
Well, when exactly do you mean ?
See I've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone

You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way ?
I am Human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

Prettiest Eyes – The Beautiful South[1994]
Þetta lag kom fyrst út 1994 á Meistaraverkinu Miaow.
Wikipedia



Textinn er snilld:

(HeatonRotheray)
Line One is the time
That you, you first stayed over at mine
And we drank our first bottle of wine
And we cried

Line Two we're away
And we both, we both had nowhere to stay
Well the bus-shelter's always OK
When you're young

Now you're older and I look at your face
Every wrinkle is so easy to place
And I only write them down just in case
That you die

Let's take a look at these crows feet, just look
Sitting on the prettiest eyes
Sixty 25th of Decembers
Fifty-nine 4th of Julys
Not through the age or the failure, children
Not through the hate or despise
Take a good look at these crows feet
Sitting on the prettiest eyes

Line Three I forget
But I think, I think it was our first ever bet
And the horse we backed was short of a leg
Never mind

Line Four in a park
And the things, the things that people do in the dark
I could hear the faintest beat of your heart
Then we did

Now you're older and I look at your face
Every wrinkle is so easy to place
And I only write them down just in case
You should die

Lets take a look at these crows feet, just look
Sitting on the prettiest eyes
Sixty 25th of Decembers
Fifty-nine 4th of Julys
You can't have too many good times, children
You can't have too many lines
Take a good look at these crows feet
Sitting on the prettiest eyes

Well my eyes look like a map of the town
And my teeth are either yellow or they're brown
But you'll never hear the crack of a frown
When you are here
You'll never hear the crack
Of a frown
