CHORUS:
They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day

From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one
As she stared in my eyes and smiled
For her lips were the colour of the roses
They grew down the river, all bloody and wild

When he knocked on my door and entered the room
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
He would be my first man, and with a careful hand
He wiped the tears that ran down my face

CHORUS

On the second day I brought her a flower
She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen
I said, 'Do you know where the wild roses grow
So sweet and scarlet and free?'

On the second day he came with a single rose
Said: 'Will you give me your loss and your sorrow?'
I nodded my head, as I layed on the bed
He said, 'If I show you the roses will you follow?'

CHORUS

On the third day he took me to the river
He showed me the roses and we kissed
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
As he stood smiling above me with a rock in his fist

On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
As I kissed her goodbye, I said, 'All beauty must die'
And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth

CHORUS

Pictures of you - The Cure[1989]



Er bara nokkuð hissa á að ekki sé búið að tilnefna hljómsveitina The Cure fyrr. Með sanni má segja að hljómsveitin sé komin á fullorðinsaldur, stofnuð 1976 og hafa gefið út 13 stúdíóplötur frá þeim tíma. Misgóðar plötur eins og vænta má en Disintegration er klárlega ein af þeim allra bestu. Kom út 1989, 71 mínútna plata og lögin flest 5-9 mínútna löng."Deluxe edition" kom svo út fyrir skemmstu með fullt af aukaefni. Pictures of you er 7,24 mínútur eins og það hljómar á plötunni. Óhætt er að segja að Robert Smith sé einstakur söngvari.



Nánar á songfacts

i've been looking so long at these pictures of
you that i almost belive that they're real i've
been living so long with my pictures of you that
i almost believe that the pictures are all i can
feel

remembering you standing quiet in the rain as
i ran to your heart to be near and we kissed as
the sky fell in holding you close how i always
held close in your fear remembering you
running soft through the night you were bigger
and brighter than the snow and
screamed at the make-believe screamed at the
sky and you finally found all your courage to
let it all go

remembering you fallen into my arms crying
for the death of your heart you were stone
white so delicate lost in the cold you were
always so lost in the dark remembering you
how you used to be slow drowned you were
angels so much more than everything oh hold
for the last time then slip away quietly open
my eyes but i never see anything

if only i had thought of the right words i could
have hold on to your heart if only i'd thought of
the right words i wouldn't be breaking apart all
my pictures of you

Looking So long at these pictures of you but i
never hold on to your heart looking so long for
the words to be true but always just breaking
apart my pictures of you

there was nothing in the world that i ever
wanted more than to feel you deep in my heart
there was nothing in the world that i ever
wanted more than to never feel the breaking
apart all my pictures of you

"The Tide Is High"
The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that
Oh, no

It's not the things you do that tease and wound me bad
But it's the way you do the things you do to me

I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that
Oh, no

The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one, number one

Every girl wants you to be her man
But I'll wait my dear 'til it's my turn

I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that

Your father and I - The Beautiful South[1998]

Nú er komið að frábæru lagi
The Beautiful South – Your father and I
Kom út árið 1998 á meistaraverkinu Quench


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

It was the middle of winter And I drove us in my car
The snow started falling So we stopped off at a bar

The beer started flowing And your mother and I took the floor
But by the last dance we were tired So I booked a room next door

So if anyone asks you If you come from Heaven above
You're from a one star hotel With a five star passionate love

It was a hot summers day
Amd we drove there in the car
And your father was thirsty
So we had to find a bar

Well he couldn't stop drinking
And he couldn't stand on his feet
We had to walk to a hotel
And book ourselves into a suite

So if the teacher asks you
Are you from Heaven or are you from Hell
You're from a one star drunken screw
In a one star motel
Yes if the teacher asks you
Are you from Heaven or are you from Hell
You're from a pitch black toilet
In a highway Taco Bell

I'll remember the birth for the rest of my time on this land
Your mother sweating buckets And me holding onto her hand

Well your father was absent
He claimed he couldn't find the ward
Just tugging on mescal
Trying to eat the umbilical cord

So if anyone asks you
Do you know where you're from, say yes
You're from your mother's womb
And your father's stinking breath
And if they ask you how you got there
Tell them just what it took
Your father's stinking breath
And your mother's stinking luck

Your father and I won't tell the whole truth
Your father and I wont' tell the truth

Das Model - Kraftwerk[1978]

Nú þegar þjóðverjar eru komnir í 16. liða úrslit HM er vel við hæfi að tilnefna þýsku rafhljómsveitina Kraftwerk. Lagið er Das Model af plötunni Die Mensch –Maschine sem kom út 1978. Enska útgáfan kallaðist The Model og náði efsta sæti breska smáskífulistans. Persónulega er ég hrifnari af þýsku útgáfunni. Þetta lag hljómaði oft undir nálinni hjá Jónasi í Karfavoginum þegar við félagarnir áttum stund aflögu frá námi í MS.

Sie ist ein Modell und sie sieht gut aus
Ich nehme sie heut' gerne mit zu mir nach Haus
Sie wirkt so kuehl, and sie kommt niemand 'ran
Doch vor der Kamera da zeigt sie was sie kann

Sie trinkt im Nachtklub immer Sekt (korrekt)
Und hat hier alle Maenner abgecheckt
Im Scheinwerferlicht ihr junges Laecheln strahlt
Sie sieht gut aus und Schoenheit wird bezahlt

Sie stellt sich zu Schau fuer das Konsumprodukt
Und wird von millionen Augen angeguckt
Ihr neues Titelbild ist einfach Fabelhaft
Ich muss sie wiedersehen, ich weiss sie hat's geschaft


Hér er svo textinn á ensku

She's a model and she's looking good
I'd like to take her to my place
She's working coolly, she won't be touched by anyone
Though, before the camera she shows what she can do

In the night club she's drinking only Champagne
And has checked out every man
In the floodlight her young smiles glitter
She's looking good, and beauty will be paid

She exposes herself for consumer products
And is being seen by millions of eyes
Her new cover is simply gorgeous
I must see her again, I know she's made it

But heaven knows I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable now

Why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die ?
Two lovers entwined pass me by
And heaven knows I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable now
In my life
Oh, why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die ?
What she asked of me at the end of the day
Caligula would have blushed
"You've been in the house too long" she said
And I (naturally) fled
In my life
Why do I smile
At people who I'd much rather kick in the eye ?
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I'm miserable now
"You've been in the house too long" she said

Í tilefni nýliðins þjóðhátíðardax:

Megas - Jónas Ólafur Jóhannesson af Hriflu af Millilendingu frá 1975




Þjóðsöngur framsóknarmanna frá Meistara Megasi. Með þessum texta text þessum mergjaða manni að koma sögu framsóknarflokksins fyrir í örfáum línum.

Jónas frá Hriflu var hollvinur snauðra,
hann hyglaði soltnum og barg þeim frá deyð.
Og reið yfir landið að líkna þeim ófáu’er
lífvana hjörðu við hungur neyð.

Jónas Ólafur, Jónas Ólafur
Jónas Ólafur Jó hannes son frá Hrifl u

Hann stóð við í Grímsey og stoð var hann mörgum
og stytta hafði hjarta og heila og hönd.
Unz barzt honum fógetabréf þar sem stóð
að sem brjótuður lag’yrðann hnepptur í bönd.

Jónas Ólafur...

En fóget’ei lukkaðist höndur að hafa

En frá örðum landhlutum fregnir um góðverk hans
flugu en að klófest’ann tókst ekki par.

Jónas Ólafur...

Yfirvöld landsins þau ofsóttu Jónas
en einatt han barg sér, oft snöggklæddur braut.
Því enginn var til sá að tækist að fang’ann,
hann tók ekki feilspor unz ljánum hann laut.

Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen[1984]

Nú er komið að stórkostlegu lagi eftir Leonard Cohen - Hallelujah
Lagið kom fyrst út 1984 á Various Positions. Fjölmargir spreytt sig á þessu lagi – líklegast er Jeff Buckley útgáfan þekktust. Ég átti svolítið erfitt með að velja útgáfu....en í þetta sinn vel ég orginalinn.

"Hallelujah"

Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Baby I have been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you.
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you
The holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light
In every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Jón var kræfur karl og hraustur - Þursaflokkurinn[1980]

Lagið kom út á plötunni " Á hljómleikum". Platan var hljóðrituð á tónleikum Þursaflokksins í Þjóðleikhúsinu 19.maí 1980. Sannarlega ekki dæmigert Þursalag en stórkostlegt engu að síður. Pönkið kemur hér enn og aftur við sögu.




Flytjandi: Hinn íslenski þursaflokkur
Lag: Tómas M. Tómasson
Texti: Jónas Árnason


Því þegar Jón í fyrsta sinn fékk litið dagsins ljós,
þá hafði pabbi hans tekið með sér mömmu hans til sjós.
En skyndilega kolblá alda yfir dallinn reið,
og mamma hans á dekkið féll og fæddi hann Jón um leið.

Viðlag:

Jón var kræfur karl og hraustur
Sigldi um hafið út og austur
Jón var kræfur karl og hraustur
Hann var sjómaður í húð og hár.


Og þegar Jón á sjónum hafði hamast ár og síð
hann útbyrðis á hausinn stakkst í stormasamri tíð
og þar var fyrir gamall hvalur gráðugur og stór
og Jón í gegnum kok hans alveg oní magann fór.

Jón var kræfur karl og hraustur
Sigldi um hafið út og austur
Jón var kræfur karl og hraustur
Hann var sjómaður í húð og hár.

Spoken:
Já, kæri sonur, hafið býr yfir hundrað hættum,
en mundu að pabbi þinn, flytur þér hljóða bæn
yfir sæinn... 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4

Og hvalurinn í burtu synti með sinn morgunverð
og stefnu tók á ballarhaf á 15 mílna ferð,
en Jón til baka aftur ruddist út úr gini hans,
og þakkaði fyrir samveruna og sagði "farvel frans".

Jón var kræfur karl og hraustur
Sigldi um hafið út og austur

Jón var kræfur karl og hraustur
Hann var sjómaður í húð og hár.
Hann var sjómaður í húð og hár.

Hann var sjómaður -í -húð -og -hár.
Hááááár....já háááár aaaaarrrggg

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John[1973]
Kom út á samnefndri plötu frá 1973.

Það er ekki hægt að segja að Elton sé meðal minna uppáhalds tónlistarmanna en ég tók sérstöku ástfóstri við þetta lag sem er eftir Bernie Taubin á unga aldri og er það tengt mörgum bernskuminningum.

Elton á tónleikum 1973

When are you gonna come down
When are you going to land
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man

You know you can't hold me forever
I didn't sign up with you
I'm not a present for your friends to open
This boy's too young to be singing the blues

So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road

What do you think you'll do then
I bet that'll shoot down your plane
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again

Maybe you'll get a replacement
There's plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground

Þokan sýnir hryllingsmynd
þvöl er stúlkuhönd.
Út úr þokunni líður kynjamynd
með egghvasst járn.

Ópið, inní þokunni
til jarðar féll þar hljótt.
Starandi augu, skældur munnur
ó, blóðið rann svo hljótt.

Lítil stúlka á heiðinni
villst hefur af leið.
Hún hitti mann á leiðinni
undan krumlum hans þar sveið.

Heaven - Talking Heads[1979]

Af plötunni Fear of Music frá 1979.



Everyone is trying to get to the bar.
The name of the bar, the bar is called Heaven.
The band in Heaven plays my favorite song.
They play it once again, they play it all night long.

Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens.
Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens.

There is a party, everyone is there.
Everyone will leave at exactly the same time.
Its hard to imagine that nothing at all
could be so exciting, and so much fun.

Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens.
Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens.

When this kiss is over it will start again.
It will not be any different, it will be exactly the same.
It's hard to imagine that nothing at all
could be so exciting, could be so much fun.

Heaven is a place where nothing every happens.
Heaven is a place where nothing every happens

Streets of London - Sinead O´Connor[1994]

Nú er komið að frábæru lagi Streets of London.

Margir frábærir söngvarar hafa sungið þetta lag – en ég vil tilnefna útgáfu með Sinead O´Connor,kom út árið 1994.


Have you seen the old man, in the closed-down market
kicking up the papers, with his worn-out shoes?
In his eyes you'd see no pride, hand held loosely by his side
yesterday's papers, telling yesterday's news

So how can you tell me, you're lonely
and say for you the sun won't shine?
Let me take you by the hand,
and lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something, to make you change your mind

Have you seen the old girl, who walks the streets of London
dirt in her hair, and her clothes in rags?
She's no time for talking, she just keeps right on walking
Carrying her home, in two carrier bags

So how can you tell me, you're lonely
and say for you the sun won't shine?
Let me take you by the hand,
and lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something, to make you change your mind

In the all-night cafe, at a quarter past eleven
same old man sitting there, on his own
Looking at the world, over the rim of his tea-cup
Each tea lasts an hour, then he wanders home alone

So how can you tell me, you're lonely
and say for you the sun won't shine?
Let me take you by the hand,
and lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something, to make you change your mind

Have you seen the old man outside the Seamens mission
memorie fathing, with the medalreabbons that he weares
In our winter city, the rain cryes little pitty,
For one more forgoten hero, and a world that doesn´t care

So how can you tell me, you're lonely
and say for you that the sun doesn't shine?
Let me take you by the hand,
and lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something, to make you change your mind

Sweat Loaf - Butthole Surfers[1987]

Hér er á ferðinni ljúft lag,lítið eitt ögrandi með smá sýruskammti. Lagið Sweat Loaf með hljómsveitinni Butthole Surfers. Tekið af plötunni Locust Abortion Technician sem kom út í mars 1987 og er þriðja breiðskífa sveitarinnar. Þeir sem ekki hafa hlustað á plötuna er bent á að gera það fyrr en seinna ef marka má bókina "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die" Óhætt er að segja að þessi hljómsveit sé sérstök en jafnframt heillandi.



Butthole Surfers Sweatloaf Manchester 2008

Daddy?
Yes, son.
What does regret mean?
Well son, the funny thing about regret is that it's better to regret
something you have done than
to Regret something that you haven't done
And by the way, If you see your mom this weekend, will you be sure and
tell her...
SATAN SATAN SATAN!!!!

This is Ground Control to Major Tom,
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know who shot you where
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare.
"This is Major Tom to Ground Control"
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today.
For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world,
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do.
Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles,
I'm feeling very still,
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go.
Tell my wife I love her very much she knows."
Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuits dead, there's something wrong.
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you...

"Here I am floating round my tin can,
Far above the Moon,
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do."

Sugar Kane - Sonic Youth[1992]

Hvað getur maður sagt um Sonic Youth? Ein besta og áhrifamesta gítarrokksveit seinni ára og eru enn að gefa út frábærar plötur. Til að mynda var The Eternal valin besta erlenda platan á Rás á síðasta ári. Hér er aftur á móti valið lagið Sugar Kane sem tekið er af hinni frábæru plötu Dirty sem út kom 1992. Njótið vel.



Sonic Youth live

You're perfect in the way
A perfect end today
You're burning out their lights
And burning in their eyes
I love you sugar kane
A comin' from the rain
Oh, kiss me like a frog
And turn me into flame
I love you all the time
I need you 8 to 9
And I can stay all night
Your body shining
And I know
There's something down there
Sugar soul
Back to the cross
A twisted lane
There something down there
Sugar kane

I'm back again in love
I'm back again a dove
But where'd you get your light
Your smilin' sugar life
Another lovers day
Another cracked up night
And every night I say
The light is coming

And I know
There's something down there
Sugar cone
Back to the cross
A twisted lane
There something down there
Sugar kane

Hey angel, come and play
And fly me away
A stroll along the beach
Until you're out of time
I love you sugar kane
A crack into the dream
I love you sugar kane [x5]
I love you sugar

Love Alone

I think you do, then I think you don't
Maybe you will, maybe then you won't
Don't understand baby why you can't
Just call it quit if you can't commit up
Know what I want I know how I feel about
I don't want to love a
I think it's time you made up your mind
Baby what's your plan I need to understand it

You gonna love me or leave me
Don't say that you need me
Not if you really wanna let me go
You don't know how much it hurts me
show me some mercy
Baby just love me or leave me alone

I need a time so I gave you that
To figure out where your heart is at
What do you say

I shouldn't have guessed it

Sorrow - The National[2010]

Af High Violet - 2010
Ekkert um þetta annað en þetta er flott lag af flottri plötu frá þessari lýtt þekktu amrísku hljómsveit, sem þó er búin að starfa með hléum síðan 1991.
Breska útvarpið útnefndi þessa nýjustu plötu kappanna "the New Yorkers' finest disc to date...a potential album of the year." og tjallin veit nú hvað
hann syngur í þessum efnum.





Fróðleikur um plötuna

Sorrow found me when I was young
Sorrow waited, sorrow won
Sorrow they put me on the pill
It's in my honey, it's in my milk

Don't leave my hyper heart alone on the water
Cover me in rag and bone sympathy
'Cos I don't wanna get over you
I don't wanna get over you

Sorrow's my body on the waves
Sorrow's a girl inside my cake
I live in a city sorrow built
It's in my honey, it's in my milk

Don't leave my hyper heart alone on the water
Cover me in rag and bone sympathy
'Cos I don't wanna get over you
I don't wanna get over you

We'll scare the skies with tiger's eyes, oh yeah? oh yeah

we're so young and so gone, let's chase the dragon, oh

stained the snow, I fell for a servant who kept me on the boil

We're so young and so gone, let's chase the dragon from our home!

Graceland - Paul Simon[1986]

Vonandi kemur þessi tilnefning ekki svo mjög á óvart. Graceland klárlega ein af bestu plötum ársins 1986 og titillagið hér tilnefnt þótt það hafi kannski verið aðalsmellurinn á þessari plötu. Graceland var að mestu tekin upp í Suður Afríku þegar
aðskilnaðarstefnan var enn við lýði.



Nánar á songfacts

The Mississippi Delta was shining
Like a National guitar,
I am following the river
Down the highway
Through the cradle of the civil war,

I'm going to Graceland
Graceland
In Memphis Tennessee
I'm going to Graceland,

Poorboys and Pilgrims with families
And we are going to Graceland,
My traveling companion is nine years old
He is the child of my first marriage,
But I've reason to believe
We both will be received
In Graceland,

She comes back to tell me she's gone,
As if I didn't know that
As if I didn't know my own bed,
As if I'd never noticed,
The way she brushed her hair from her forehead,
And she said losing love
Is like a window in your heart,
Everybody sees you're blown apart,
Everybody sees the wind blow,

I'm going to Graceland,
Memphis Tennessee
I'm going to Graceland,
Poorboys and Pilgrims with families
And we are going to Graceland,

And my traveling companions
Are ghosts and empty sockets
I'm looking at ghosts and empties,
But I've reason to believe
We all will be received
In Graceland,

There is a girl in New York City,
Who calls herself the human trampoline,
And sometimes when I'm falling flying
Or tumbling in turmoil I say
Whoa so this is what she means,
She means we're bouncing into Graceland,
And I see losing love
Is like a window in your heart,
Everybody sees you're blown apart,
Everybody feels the wind blow,

In Graceland Graceland,
I'm going to Graceland,
For reasons I cannot explain
There's some part of me wants to see
Graceland,
And I may be obliged to defend
Every love every ending
Or maybe there's no obligations now,
Maybe I've a reason to believe
We all will be received
In Graceland

(Pause)

Woah in graceland graceland graceland
i'm going to graceland

Room For The Life - Kate Bush[1978]

Kom út á The Kick Inside 1978

Frábært lag af ótrúlega góðri plötu.  Auk þess var Kate bara 19 ára þegar hún gerði hana og samdi sum lögin á henni 13 ára!  Hljómurinn á plötunni er snilld enda engir aular sem spila með henni, ss. Alan Parker sem hefur unnið með öllum þeim stærstu, td. Lennon, Bowie, Jagger, Elton John, Hendrix ofl. og svo David Gilmour kallinn.  Þetta er ekki þekktasta lagið á plötunni en ótrúlega ávanabindandi.



Live 1979 (ekki í góðum gæðum)

Últra einföld gítargrip

Hey there, you lady in tears,
Do you think that they care if they're real, woman?
They just take it as part of the deal.
Lost in your men and the games you play.
Trying to prove that you're better, woman.
But you needn't get heavy with them.
Like it or not, we were built tough,
Because we're woman.

No, we never die for long,
While we've got that little life
To live for, where it's hid inside.
No, we never die for long,
Oh! woman, two in one,

There's room for a life in your womb, woman,
Inside of you can be two, woman,
There's room for a life in your womb, woman,
Mama woman, aha!

Night after night in the quiet house,
Plaiting her hair by the fire, woman,
With no lover to free her desire,
How long do you think she can stick it out?
How long do you think before she'll go out, woman?
Hey! get up on your feet and go get it, now.
Like it or not, we keep bouncing back,
Because we're woman.

No, we never die for long,
While we've got that little life
To live for, where it's hid inside.
Oh! woman, two in one,

There's room for a life in your womb, woman,
Inside of you can be two, woman,
There's room for a life in your womb, woman,
Mama woman, aha!

A-mama-woma-mama-woman-aha!
A-mama-woma-mama-woman-aha!
Oh, mama-woman, two-in-a-one, aha!
Oh, two in one, aha!
Oh, woman! woman! woman! woman!
There's room for a life in your womb!
There's room for a life in your womb!
Two in one, aha!
Two in one! two in one! two in one!
Room for a life in your womb.

Smooth Operator - Sade[1984]

Það er mér mikill heiður að tilnefna Sade. Lag sem sameinar það besta úr jazzi og poppi. Lagið Smooth operator kom út á Diamond Life árið 1985 og seldist í bílförmum. Þess má geta að ný plata kom út með Sade nú í febrúar 2010 eftir margra ára hlé.

Diamond life, lover boy.
We move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy.
City lights and business nights.
When you require streetcar desire for higher heights.

No place for beginners or sensitive hearts
When sentiment is left to chance.
No place to be ending but somewhere to start.

No need to ask.
He's a smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator.

Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male.
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale.

Face to face, each classic case.
We shadow box and double cross,
Yet need the chase.

A license to love, insurance to hold.
Melts all your memories and change into gold.
His eyes are like angels but his heart is cold.

No need to ask.
He's a smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator.

Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male.
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale.

Smooth operator,
