The Ballad of Lucy Jordan - Marianne Faithful[1979]



Nú vil ég tilnefna lag eftir Shel Silverstein. The Ballad of Lucy Jordan..ákvað að velja Marianne Faithful útgáfuna. Sú útgáfa kom út 1979 á Broken English. Hefur verið mjög lengi í miklu uppáhaldi hjá mér.

The morning sun touched lightly on the eyes of Lucy Jordan
In a white suburban bedroom in a white suburban town
As she lay there 'neath the covers dreaming of a thousand lovers
Till the world turned to orange and the room went spinning round.

At the age of thirty-seven she realised she'd never
Ride through Paris in a sports car with the warm wind in her hair.
So she let the phone keep ringing and she sat there softly singing
Little nursery rhymes she'd memorised in her daddy's easy chair.

Her husband, he's off to work and the kids are off to school,
And there are, oh, so many ways for her to spend the day.
She could clean the house for hours or rearrange the flowers
Or run naked through the shady street screaming all the way.

At the age of thirty-seven she realised she'd never
Ride through Paris in a sports car with the warm wind in her hair
So she let the phone keep ringing as she sat there softly singing
Pretty nursery rhymes she'd memorised in her daddy's easy chair.

The evening sun touched gently on the eyes of Lucy Jordan
On the roof top where she climbed when all the laughter grew too loud
And she bowed and curtsied to the man who reached and offered her his hand,
And he led her down to the long white car that waited past the crowd.

At the age of thirty-seven she knew she'd found forever
As she rode along through Paris with the warm wind in her hair

Satisfaction - The Rolling Stones[1965]



Hef aldrei verið mikill Rolling Stones aðdáandi. En þrátt fyrir það er því ekki að neita að þeir eiga fullt af góðum lögum. Satisfaction er eitt þeirra, var útgefið á smáskífu sumarið 1965. Kom út á breiðskífunni Out of our heads árið 1965. Textinn já hefur sjálfsagt verið umdeildur í þá daga og er kannski enn, nei varla.

I can't get no satisfaction, I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm drivin' in my car, and the man come on the radio
He's tellin' me more and more about some useless information
Supposed to fire my imagination

I can't get no. Oh, no, no, no. Hey, hey, hey
That's what I say
I can't get no satisfaction, I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm watchin' my TV and a man comes on and tell me
How white my shirts can be
But, he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke
The same cigarettes as me

I can't get no. Oh, no, no, no. Hey, hey, hey
That's what I say
I can't get no satisfaction, I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm ridin' round the world, and I'm doin' this and I'm signin' that
And I'm tryin' to make some girl, who tells me
Baby, better come back maybe next week
'Cause you see I'm on a losing streak
I can't get no. Oh, no, no, no. Hey, hey, hey
That's what I say. I can't get no, I can't get no
I can't get no satisfaction, no satisfaction
No satisfaction, no satisfaction

Dogs - Pink Floyd[1977]

Lag af plötunni Animals sem Pink Floyd gaf út út 1977



You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need.
You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street,
You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed.
And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight,
You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking.
And after a while, you can work on points for style.
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake,
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile.
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to,
So that when they turn their backs on you,
You'll get the chance to put the knife in.
You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder.
You know it's going to get harder, and harder, and harder as you
get older.
And in the end you'll pack up and fly down south,
Hide your head in the sand,
Just another sad old man,
All alone and dying of cancer.
And when you loose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown.
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone.
And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw
around.
So have a good drown, as you go down, all alone,
Dragged down by the stone.
I gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused.
Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used.
Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise.
If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this
maze?
Deaf, dumb, and blind, you just keep on pretending
That everyone's expendable and no-one has a real friend.
And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner
And everything's done under the sun,
And you believe at heart, everyone's a killer.
Who was born in a house full of pain.
Who was trained not to spit in the fan.
Who was told what to do by the man.
Who was broken by trained personnel.
Who was fitted with collar and chain.
Who was given a pat on the back.
Who was breaking away from the pack.
Who was only a stranger at home.
Who was ground down in the end.
Who was found dead on the phone.
Who was dragged down by the stone.

Take the Skinheads Bowling – Camper Van Beethoven[1985]

Every day, I get up and pray to Jah
And he decreases the number of clocks by exactly one
Everybody's comin' home for lunch these days
Last night there were skinheads on my lawn
Take the skinheads bowling
Take them bowling
Take the skinheads bowling
Take them bowling
Some people say that bowling alleys got big lanes
Some people say that bowling alleys all look the same
There's not a line that goes here that rhymes with anything
I has a dream last night, but I forget what it was
I had a dream last night about you, my friend
I had a dream--I wanted to sleep next to plastic
I had a dream--I wanted to lick your knees
I had a dream--it was about nothing

Brilliant Trees - David Sylvian[1984]

Hér er lag í rólegri kantinum og örugglega ekki mjög þekkt svona almennt séð.
David Sylvian er fæddur árið 1958 og var aðalsöngvari hljómsveitarinnar Japan. Sú sveit lagði upp laupanna árið 1982. Hóf þá Sylvian sinn sólóferil. Óhætt er að segja að tónlist Sylvian sé sérstök, líkt og rödd hans. Það þarf að gefa sér góða og afslappaða stund þegar maður hlustar á tónlistarsköpun hans. Lagið Brilliant trees er titillag samnefndrar breiðskífu sem kom út árið 1984.



Brilliant trees live

When you come to me
I'll question myself again
Is this grip on life still my own

When every step I take
Leads me so far away
Every thought should bring me closer home

And there you stand
Making my life possible
Raise my hands up to heaven
But only you could know

My whole world stands in front of me
By the look in your eyes
By the look in your eyes
My whole life stretches in front of me
Reaching up like a flower
Leading my life back to the soil

Every plan I've made's
Lost in the scheme of things
Within each lesson lies the price to learn

A reason to believe
Divorces itself from me
Every hope I hold lies in my arms

And there you stand
Making my life possible
Raise my hands up to heaven
But only you could know

My whole world stands in front of me
By the look in your eyes
By the look in your eyes
My whole life stretches in front of me
Reaching up like a flower
Leading my life back to the soil

The flowers of Guatemala - R.E.M.[1986]

Af fjórðu plötu REM frá 1986 fróðleikur um plötuna

Það er ekki margt í texta þessa lags sem bendir til þess að Michael Stipe sé að syngja um hvarf mótmælenda í Guatemala eða að
blómin sem um er sungið feli fjöldagrafir. 40 manns á viku hurfu í Guatemala á þeim tíma sem platan kom út og þeir félagar spurðu sig
hvers vegna kanar styddu það. Lagið hljómar ekki pólitískt en Stripe virkar sterkt á mig þegar hann syngur “there’s something here I
find hard to ignore.” Flestir staðir eiga sér sögu, góða og slæma. Hvers vegna er heimurinn svona ömurlegur?



Hér eru gítargripin fyrir Sáka o.fl. áhugasama:

Hér er mikil REM textasíða ásamt gripum fyrir flest lögin, þó ekki þetta:

I took a picture that I'll have to send
People here are friendly and content
People here are colourful and bright
The flowers often bloom at night

Amanita is the name
The flowers cover everything
The flowers cover everything

There's something here I find hard to ignore
There's something that I've never seen before
Amanita is the name, they cover over everything

The flowers cover everything
They cover over everything (Amanita is the name)
The flowers cover everything

Don't look into the sun
Don't look into the sun

The flowers cover everything
They cover over everything
The flowers cover everything
The flowers cover everything (Amanita is the name)
They cover over everything
The flowers cover everything

There's something that I've never seen before
The flowers often bloom at night
Amanita is the name they cover over everything

I was a good kid
I wouldn't do you no harm
I was a nice kid
With a nice paper round
Forgive me any pain
I may have brung to you
With God's help I know
I'll always be near to you
But Jesus hurt me
When he deserted me, but

I have forgiven Jesus
For all the desire
He placed in me when there's nothing I can do
With this desire

I was a good kid
Through hail and snow I'd go
Just to moon you
I carried my heart in my hand
Do you understand?
Do you understand?
But Jesus hurt me
When he deserted me, but

I have forgiven Jesus
For all of the love
He placed in me
When there's no-one I can turn to with this love

Monday - humiliation
Tuesday - suffocation
Wednesday - condescension
Thursday - is pathetic
By Friday life has killed me
By Friday life has killed me

(Oh pretty one, Oh pretty one)

Why did you give me
So much desire?
When there is nowhere I can go
To offload this desire
And why did you give me
So much love
In a loveless world
When there's no one I can turn to
To unlock all this love
And why did you stick me in
Self-deprecating bones and skin
Jesus - do you hate me?
Why did you stick me in
Self-deprecating bones and skin
Do you hate me? do you hate me?
Do you hate me? do you hate me?
Do you hate me?

Mr. Greed - John Fogerty[1985]

Þetta lag heyrði ég fyrst sumarið 1985. Gítarvælið heillaði mig svo ég keypti mér plötuna Centerfield í plötubúð Fálkans við Suðurlandsbraut. Hér er á ferðinni fantagóð plata af gamla skólanum þar sem melódiskt gítarrokk ræður ríkjum. Fogerty sá alfarið um allan hljóðfæraleik á þessari plötu. Textinn ef ég man rétt var tileinkaður fyrrverandi útgefanda Fogertys. Það geta eflaust fleiri tekið hann til sín t.d. útrásarvíkingar vorir.

Meðfylgjandi tóndæmi er live útgáfa af þessu lagi þar sem ég fann ekki stúdíó version af laginu á Youtube. Ef þið viljið hlusta á orginalinn þá bendi ég á spilarann hérna hægra megin.



Songwriters: Fogerty, John

Mr. Greed, why you got to own everything that you see?
Mr. Greed, why you put a chain on everybody livin' free?
You're hungerin' for his house, you're hungerin' for his wife,
And your appetite will never be denied.
You're a devil of consumption; I hope you choke, Mr. Greed.

CHORUS:
How do you get away with robbin'? Did your mother teach you how?
I hear you got away with murder, did you do your mama proud?

Mr. Greed, why you got to take more than you can ever use?
Bring 'em to their knees; isn't it enough just to win while they lose?
You bring no honor to the game, you feast upon the blood and pain,
But the bones you hoard can only bring you shame.
There's corruption in your path, be that your epitaph, Mr. Greed.

Us and them
and after all we're only ordinary men
me and you
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do
forward he cried from the rear
and the front rank died
and the General sat, and the lines on the map
moved from side to side
Black and blue
and who knows which is which and who is who
up and down
and in the end it's only round and round and round
haven't you heard it's a battle of words
the poster bearer cried
listen, son, said the man with the gun
there's room for you inside
Down and out
it can't be helped but there's a lot of it about
with, without
and who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about
out of the way, it's a busy day
I've got things on my mind
for want of the price of tea and a slice
the old man died
Brain Damage & Eclipse
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uf-ArgakvZI&feature=related
The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
got to keep the loonies on the path
The lunatic is in the hall
the lunatics are in the hall
the paper holds their folded faces to the floor
and every day the paper boy brings more
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
and if there is no room upon the hill
and if your head explodes with dark forbodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
you raise the blade, you make the change
you rearrange me ' till I'm sane
you lock the door
and throw away the key
there's someone in my head but it's not me
And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
you shout and no one seems to hear
and if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
All that you touch and all that you see
all that you taste, all you feel
and all that you love and all that you hate
all you distrust, all you save
and all thatyou give and all that you deal
and all that you buy, beg, borrow or steal
and all you create and all you destroy
and all that you do and all that you say
and all that you eat and everyone you meet
and all that you slight and everyone you fight
and all that is now and all that is gone
and all that's to come and everything under the sun is in tune
but the sun is eclipsed by the moon

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new bluejeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy

Marquee Moon - Television[1977]

Television var stofnuð í New York árið 1973. Væntanlega getum við skilgreint tónlist þeirra bæði sem Pönk og rokk. Spurning hvað Sáki segir um það en enginn gítargrip hér. Fyrsta plata Television var "Marquee moon" en titillagið sem hér er tilnefnt var innan við 10 mínútur þegar það kom út á vínyl smáskífu. Þegar lagið kom út á CD var það hins vegar um 11 mínútur.

I remember
how the darkness doubled
I recall
lightning struck itself.
I was listening
listening to the rain
I was hearing
hearing something else.
Life in the hive puckered up my night,
the kiss of death, the embrace of life.
There I stand neath the Marquee Moon Just waiting,
Hesitating...
I ain't waiting
I spoke to a man
down at the tracks.
I asked him
how he don't go mad.
He said 'Look here junior, don't you be so happy.
And for Heaven's sake, don't you be so sad.'
Well a Cadillac
it pulled out of the graveyard.
Pulled up to me
all they said get in.
Then the Cadillac
it puttered back into the graveyard.
And me,
I got out again.

Murder by Numbers - The Police[1983]



Lagið eins og það hljómar á plötunni:



Frank Zappa og Sting taka lagið árið 1988 og blanda því saman við "Stolen Moments" eftir Oliver Nelson. Kúl!:

Fyrir gítaráhugmenn þá má spila lagið svona:
Gítarnótur:

Murder by Numbers eftir Andy Summers og Sting var upprunalega á B-hlið "Every Breath You Take" en ekki LP útgáfu Synchronicity. Því var síðar bætt við í CD útgáfunni. Ekki mikið um þetta lag að segja annað en að Sting er farinn að líkjast sjálfum sér eins og við þekkjum hann á síðari sólóplötum.

Once that you've decided on a killing
First you make a stone of your heart
And if you find that your hands are still willing
Then you can turn a murder into art

There really isn't any need for bloodshed
You just do it with a little more finesse
If you can slip a tablet into someone's coffee
Then it avoids an awful lot of mess

It's murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
Murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC

Now if you have a taste for this experience
And you're flushed with your very first success
Then you must try a twosome or a threesome
And you'll find your conscience bothers you much less

Because murder is like anything you take to
It's a habit-forming need for more and more
You can bump off every member of your family
And anybody else you find a bore

Because it's murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
Murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC

Now you can join the ranks of the illustrious
In history's great dark hall of fame
All our greatest killers were industrious
At least the ones that we all know by name

But you can reach the top of your profession
If you become the leader of the land
For murder is the sport of the elected
And you don't need to lift a finger of your hand

Because it's murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
Murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your A, B, C, D, E

Mercy Seat - Johnny Cash[2000]

Johnny Cash(1932-2003)

Upprunalega gaf Nick Cave lagið Mercy Seat á plötunni Tender prey árið 1988.
Óhætt er að segja að flutningur Nick Cave í þessi lagi sé í einu orði sagt stórkostlegur. En þrátt fyrir það ætla ég að tilnefna aðra útgáfu með Johnny Cash en ég hef svo sem aldrei verið neitt sérstaklega hrifinn af tökulögum. Virkiega vel gert af Johnny Cash í þessu lagi en lagið kom út á American III árið 2000. Það er aldrei að vita nema ég tilnefni útgáfu Nick Cave einnig þótt síðar verði nema að Sáki verði fyrri til.



Útgáfa Nick Cave

It ALL began when they come took me from my home
And put me on Death Row,
a crime for which I am totally innocent, you know.

I began to warm and chill
To objects and their fields,
A ragged cup, a twisted mop
The face of Jesus in my soup
Those sinister dinner deals
The meal trolley's wicked wheels
A hooked bone rising from my food
All things either good or ungood.

And the mercy seat is waiting
And I think my head is burning
And in a way I'm yearning
To be done with all this weighing of the truth.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
And anyway I told the truth
And I'm not afraid to die.

I hear stories from the chamber
Christ was born into a manger
And like some ragged stranger
He died upon the cross
Might I say, it seems so fitting in its way
He was a carpenter by trade
Or at least that's what I'm told

My kill-hand's
tatooed E.V.I.L. across it's brother's fist
That filthy five! They did nothing to challenge or resist.

In Heaven His throne is made of gold
The ark of his Testament is stowed
A throne from which I'm told
All history does unfold.
It's made of wood and wire
And my body is on fire
And God is never far away.

Into the mercy seat I climb
My head is shaved, my head is wired
And like a moth that tries
To enter the bright eye
I go shuffling out of life
Just to hide in death awhile
And anyway I never lied.


And the mercy seat is waiting
And I think my head is burning
And in a way I'm yearning
To be done with all this weighing of the truth.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
And anyway I told the truth
And I'm not afraid to die.

And the mercy seat is burning
And I think my head is glowing
And in a way I'm hoping
To be done with all this twisting of the truth.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
And anyway there was no proof
And I'm not afraid to die.

And the mercy seat is glowing
And I think my head is smoking
And in a way I'm hoping
To be done with all these looks of disbelief.
A life for a life
And a truth for a truth
And I've got nothing left to lose
And I'm not afraid to die.

And the mercy seat is smoking
And I think my head is melting
And in a way that's helping
To be done with all this twisting of the truth
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
And anyway I told the truth
But I'm afraid I told a lie.

Love over gold - Dire Straits[1982]



Dire Straits - Love Over Gold af Love Over Gold plötunni sem kom út 1982

(Guðjón ég get staðfest að þetta er ekki pönk)

Þetta lag er mjög líkt frægara lagi með Tinu Turner sem heitir Private Dancer og einnig eftir Knofler. Það er líka feikna gott en komst ekki á Love Over Gold plötuna af því félagarnir töldu það ekki nógu gott en það var tekið upp af félögunum, allt nema söngurinn. Ég held samt að það sé óumdeilt að Tina syngi betur en Mark.


Fróðleikur um lagið:

Private Dancer

You walk out on the high wire
you're a dancer on thin ice
you pay no heed to the danger
and less to advice
your footsteps are forbidden
but with a knowledge of your sin
you throw your love to all the strangers
and caution to the wind
And you go dancing through doorways
just to see what you will find
leaving nothing to interfere
with the crazy balance of your mind
and when you finally reappear
at the place where you came in
you've thrown your love to all the strangers
and caution to the wind
It takes love over gold
and mind over matter
to do what you do that you must
when the things that you hold
can fall and be shattered
or run through your fingers like dust

How's about a British jig and reel?
Speaking King's English in quotation
As railhead towns feel the steel mills rust water froze
In the generation
Clear as winter ice
This is your paradise

There ain't no need for ya
Go straight to hell boys

Y'wanna join in a chorus
Of the Amerasian blues?
When it's Christmas out in Ho Chi Minh City
Kiddie say papa papa papa papa-san take me home
See me got photo photo
Photograph of you
Mamma Mamma Mamma-san
Of you and Mamma Mamma Mamma-san
Lemme tell ya 'bout your blood bamboo kid.
It ain't Coca-Cola it's rice.

Straight to hell
Oh Papa-san
Please take me home
Oh Papa-san
Everybody they wanna go home
So Mamma-san says

You wanna play mind-crazed banjo
On the druggy-drag ragtime U.S.A.?
In Parkland International
Hah! Junkiedom U.S.A.
Where procaine proves the purest rock man groove
and rat poison
The volatile Molatov says-

PSSST...
HEY CHICO WE GOT A MESSAGE FOR YA...
VAMOS VAMOS MUCHACHO
FROM ALPHABET CITY ALL THE WAY A TO Z, DEAD, HEAD

Go straight to hell

Can you really cough it up loud and strong
The immigrants
They wanna sing all night long
It could be anywhere
Most likely could be any frontier
Any hemisphere
No man's land and there ain't no asylum here
King Solomon he never lived round here

Go straight to hell boys

Redemption song - Bob Marley[1980]



Kom út á Uprising 1980

Þegar Marley samdi þetta lag árið 1979 hafði hann verið greindur með krabbamein sem átti síðar eftir að draga hann til dauða. Á
plötunni og einkum í þessu lagi glímdi hann við eigið siðgæði en hugleiðingar hans um það voru sprottnar upp úr veikindunum. Þetta
lag er ólíkt öðrum lögum hans að því leiti að í því spilar hann sjálfur á gítar og syngur án hjálpar hljómsveitar. Útgáfan hér að ofan er
komin til þannig að hljómsveitinni var bætt við upprunalegu útgáfuna árið 2001. Lagið hvetur hlustendur til að "Emancipate yourself from
mental slavery," vegna þess að "None but ourselves can free our minds". Þessi texti er kominn úr ræðu Marcus Garvey sem hann
hélt í Nova Scotia í október 1937. Marcus var Jamaískur blaðamaður og mannréttindafrömuður

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

Seven nation army - The White Stripes[2003]



The White Stripes var stofnuð árið 1997 í Detroit og samanstendur af þeim Jack White(söngur,gítar,píanó) og Meg White(trommur). Það sem vekur einna helst athygli er að þessi rokkdúett er ekki með neinn bassaleikara. Lagið sem hér er tilnefnt "Seven nation army" kom út á plötunni Elephant 2003

I'm gonna fight 'em all
A nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back

And I'm talking to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette
And the message coming from my eyes
Says leave it alone

Don't want to hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell

And if I catch it coming back my way
I'm gonna serve it to you
And that aint what you want to hear
But thats what I'll do
And the feeling coming from my bones
Says find a home

I'm going to Wichita
Far from this opera for evermore
I'm gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding
Right before the lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me
And I will sing no more
And the stains coming from my blood
Tell me go back home

Uppi í risinu sérðu lítið ljós,
heit hjörtu, fölnuð rós.
Matarleifar, bogin skeið,
undan oddinum samviskan sveið.

Þau trúðu á draumamyrkrið svalt,
draumarnir tilbáðu þau.
Fingurnir gældu við stálið kalt,
lífsvökvann dælan saug.

Draumarnir langir runnu í eitt,
dofin þau fylgdu með,
sprautan varð lífið, með henni gátu breytt
því sem átti eftir að ske.

Uppi í risinu lágu og ófu sinn vef,
óttann þræddu upp á þráð.
Ekkert gat skeð því það var ekkert ef,
ef vel var að gáð.

Hittust á laun, léku í friði og ró,
í skugganum sat Talía.
Hvítir hestar drógu vagninn með Rómeó,
við hlið hans sat Júlía.

Trúðu á draumamyrkrið svalt,
draumarnir tilbáðu þau.
Rómeó - Júlía.

Þegar kaldir vindar haustsins blása,
naprir um göturnar,
sérðu Júlíu standa, bjóða sig hása
í von um líf í æðarnar.

Því Rómeó villtist inn á annað svið,
hans hlutverk gekk ekki þar.
Of stór skammtur stytti þá bið
inni á klósetti á óþekktum bar.

Hittust á laun , léku í friði ...

Starman - David Bowie[1972]

Starman er tekið af plötunni "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" 1972.



Didn't know what time it was, the lights were low
I leaned back on my radio
Some cat was layin' down some rock'n'roll lotta soul, he said
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase
That weren't no D.J. that was hazy cosmic jive
CHORUS
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He told us not to blow it
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
I had to phone someone so I picked on you
Hey, that's far out so you heard him too!
Switch on the TV we may pick him up on channel two
Look out your window I can see his light
If we can sparkle he may land tonight
Don't tell your poppa or he'll get us locked up in fright

Að þessu sinni er komið að því að tilnefna U2. Lagið er “Until the end of the world” sem kom út á “achtung baby” árið 1991.

Haven't seen you FOR quite a while
I was down the HOLE just passing time
Last time we met was a low-lit room
We were as close together as a bride and groom
We ate the food, we drank the wine
Everybody having a good time
Except you
You were talking about the end of the world

I took the money
I spiked your drink
You miss too much these days if you stop to think
You lead me on with those innocent eyes
You know I love the element of surprise
In the garden I was playing the tart
I kissed your lips and broke your heart
You
You were acting like it was the end of the world

Love...love...love...love...love...love...
Love...love...love...love...love...love...
Love...love...love...love...

In my dream I was drowning my sorrows
But my sorrows, they learned to swim
Surrounding me, going down on me
Spilling over the brim
Waves of regret, waves of joy
I reached out for the one I tried to destroy
You, you said you'd wait till the end of the world.

right above a dirty bookstore
off cuclid avenue
and I stopped taking dope
and I quit drinking whiskey
and my old man plays the trombone
and works out at the track.

and he says that he loves me
even though its not his baby
and he says that he'll raise him up
like he would his own son
and he gave me a ring
that was worn by his mother
and he takes me out dancin
every saturday nite.

and hey Charley I think about you
everytime I pass a fillin' station
on account of all the grease
you used to wear in your hair
and I still have that record
of little anthony & the imperials
but someone stole my record player
how do you like that?

hey Charley I almost went crazy
after mario got busted
so I went back to omaha to
live with my folks
but everyone I used to know
was either dead or in prison
so I came back in minneapolis
this time I think I'm gonna stay.

hey Charley I think I'm happy
for the first time since my accident
and I wish I had all the money
that we used to spend on dope
I'd buy me a used car lot
and I wouldn't sell any of em
I'd just drive a different car
every day dependin on how
I feel.

hey Charley

do you want to know

Lag af plötunni Saucerful of secrets sem kom út árið 1968



Little by little the night turns around
counting the leaves wich tremble in the dawn
notices leaning on each other and yearning
under the leaves the swallow is resting
Set the controls for the heart of the sun
On to the mountain watching the Watcher
breaking the darkness, breaking the grapevine
the moment your flaw is run to your shadow
notice the shadow that reopens the vine
Set the controls for the heart of the sun
heart of the sun
Breaking the shape of his questions for ever
when the sun will fall in the evening
will he remember the lesson I gave him
Set the controls for the heart of the sun

she is benediction

here I go and I don't know why

could it be he's taking over me...

I'm dancing barefoot
heading for a spin
some strange music draws me in
makes me come on like some heroin/e

she is sublimation
she is the essence of thee
she is concentrating on
he, who is chosen by she

here I go and I don't know why
I spin so ceaselessly,
could it be he's taking over me...

she is re-creation
she, intoxicated by thee
she has the slow sensation that
he is levitating with she ...

here I go and I don't know why,
I spin so ceaselessly,
'til I lose my sense of gravity...

(oh god I fell for you ...)

the plot of our life sweats in the dark like a face
the mystery of childbirth, of childhood itself
grave visitations
what is it that calls to us?
why must we pray screaming?
why must not death be redefined?
we shut our eyes we stretch out our arms
and whirl on a pane of glass
an afixiation a fix on anything the line of life the limb of a tree
the hands of he and the promise that s/he is blessed among women.

Ziggy Stardust - David Bowie[1972]

Tekið af plötunni The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars





Nánar á songfacts.com

Ziggy played guitar, jamming good with Wierd and Gilly,
The Spiders from Mars.
He played it left hand, but made it too far,
Became the special man, then we were Ziggy's Band.

Ziggy really sang, screwed up eyes and screwed down hairdo
Like some cat from Japan, he could lick 'em by smiling
He could leave 'me to hang
Came on so loaded man, well hung and snow white tan.

So where were the spiders while the fly tried to break our balls
Just the beer light to guide us,
So we bitched about his fans and should we crush his sweet hands ?

Ziggy played for time, jiving us that we were Voodoo
The kids was just crass, he was the naz
With God given ass
He took it all too far but boy could he play guitar.

Making love with his ego Ziggy sucked up into his mind
Like a leper messiah
When the kids had killed the man I had to break up the band

It's a god-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling "No"
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
For she's lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on

Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the Lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?

It's on Amerikas tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
'Cause I wrote it ten times or more
It's about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on

Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go

Layla - Derek & The Dominos[1970]



Eitt af frægari lögum rokksögunnar hér á ferðinni með Derek & the Dominos. Upphaflega útgefin á tvöföldu vínylplötunni „Layla and other assorted love songs“ 1970 en hljómsveitin gaf einungis þessa einu plötu. Smáskífan kom svo út 1971 og 1972. Eric Clapton gaf svo þetta lag út á CD single árið 1992 en lagið var einnig að finna á plötunni „Unplugged“. Þessi útgáfa var órafmögnuð eins og flestum er kunnugt. Upprunalega útgáfan með Derek & the Dominos er samt valin að þessu sinni.

What'll you do when you get lonely
And nobody's waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long.
You know it's just your foolish pride.

Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.

I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
Turned my whole world upside down.

Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane.
Please don't say we'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain.

Tóndæmi á Youtube

Stone love-she knees before the grave
A brave son-who gave his life to save the slogan
That hovers 'tween the headstone and her eyes
For they penetrate her grieving
New love-a boy and girl are talking
New words-that only they can share in
New words-a love so strong it tears their hearts
To sleep-through the fleeiting hours of morning
Love is careless in its choosing-sweeping over cross a baby
Love descends on those defenseless
Idiot love will spark the fusion
Inspirations have I none-just to touch the flaming dove
All I have is my love of love-and love is not loving
Soul love-the priest that tastes the word and
Told of love-and how my God on high is
All love-though reaching up my loneliness evolves
By the blindness that surrounds him

Allavega er þessi hljómsveit alveg frábær og hefur örugglega ekki fengið þá athygli sem hún á svo sannarlega skilið. Samt finnst mér tónlist þeirra bara nokkuð aðgengileg og söngvari sveitarinnar Stephen Malkmus þrælgóður. Ákvað að velja lagið „Cut your hair“ af annari plötu sveitarinnar „Crooked rain, crooked rain“ frá árinu 1994. Segi bara njótið
vel.

Darlin' don't you go and cut your hair
Do you think it's gonna make him change?
"i'm just a boy with a new haircut"
And that's a pretty nice haircut
Charge it like a puzzle, hit me wearin' muzzles
Hesitate to die, look around, around, the second drummer's drowned
His telephone is found

Music scene is crazy, bands start up each and every day
I saw another one just the other day
A special new band
I remember lying
I don't remember a line
I don't remember a word
But I don't care, I care, I really don't care
Did you see the drummer's hair?

Advertising looks and chops a must
No big hair!!
Songs mean a lot
When songs are bought
And so are you-
Bitch, rant down to the practice room
Attention and fame so
Career, career, career....

"Animal Nitrate"

Like his dad you know that he's had
Animal nitrate in mind
Oh in your council home he jumped on your bones
now you're taking it time after time

oh it turns you on, on, on, now he has gone
oh what turns you on, on, on, now your animal's gone?

Well he said he'd show you his bed
and the delights of his chemical smile
so in your broken home he broke all of your bones
now you're taking it time after time

oh it turns you on, on, on, now he has gone
oh what turns you on, on, on, now yor animal's gone?

what does it take to turn you on, on
now he has gone?
now you're over 21?
now your animal's gone?
animal, he was animal, an animal

Orginalinn af laginu hér á Youtube

I'm closer to the Golden Dawn
Immersed in Crowley's uniform
Of imagery
I'm living in a silent film
Portraying Himmler's secret realm
Of dream reality
I'm frightened by the total goal
I'm drawing to the ragged hole
And I ain't got the power anymore
No I ain't got the power anymore
I'm the twisted name on Garbo's eyes
I'm living proof of Churchill's lies
I'm destiny
I'm drawn between the light and dark
Where others see their targets
Divine symmetry
Should I kiss the viper's fang
Or herald loud the death of Man
I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought
And I ain't got the power anymore
Don't believe in yourself
Don't deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with death's release
I'm not a prophet or a stone age man
Just a mortal with potential of a superman
I'm living on
I'm tethered to the logic of Homo Sapien
Can't take my eyes from the great salvation
Of bullshit faith
If I don't explain what you ought to know
You can tell me all about it
On the next Bardo
I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought
And I ain't got the power anymore.
