All God's children need travelling shoes
Drive your problems from here
All good people read good books
Now your conscience is clear [x2]

In the morning when I wipe my brow
Wipe the miles away
I like to think I can be so willed
And never do what you say [x2]

[CHORUS:]
Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety [x3]

We just poked a little pie
For the fun that people have at night
Late at night don't need hostility
The timid smile and pause to free

I don't care about their different thoughts
Different thoughts are good for me
Up in arms and chaste and whole
All God's children took their toll

[CHORUS]

Cup of tea take time to think yeah
Time to risk a life a life a life
Sweet and handsome soft and porky
You pig out 'til you've seen the light
Pig out 'til you've seen the light

Half the people read the papers
Read them good and well
Pretty people nervous people
People have got to sell
News you have to sell

[CHORUS]

Zombie - The Cranberries[1994]


The Cranberries koma frá Írlandi. Aðalsöngkona hljómsveitarinnar og textahöfundur heitir Dolores Riordan. Rödd hennar er ótrulega lík löndu hennar Sinead ´O Connor.
Zombie kemur af annari plötu sveitarinnar No need to Arque 1994 sem seldist gríðarlega vel á heimsvísu. Zombie var samið til minningar um tvo drengi sem drepnir voru í sprengjutillræði IRA í Warrington 1993.

Nánar á songfacts

Another head hangs lowly,
Child is slowly taken.
And the violence caused such silence,
Who are we mistaken?

Then you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, dou, dou, dou, dou, dou...

Another mother's breakin',
Heart is taking over.
When the vi'lence causes silence,
We must be mistaken.

It's the same old theme since nineteen-sixteen.
In your head, in your head they're still fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are dying...

In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, oh, ya, ya-a...

I spy something beginning with s...

on candystripe legs the spiderman comes
softly through the shadow of the evening sun
stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
looking for the victim shivering in bed
searching out fear in the gathering gloom and
suddenly!
a movement in the corner of the room!
and there is nothing i can do
when i realize with fright
that the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight!

quietly he laughs and shaking his head
creeps closer now
closer to the foot of the bed
and softer than shadow and quicker than flies
his arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes
"be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy
don't struggle like that or i will only love you more
for it's much too late to get away or turn on the light
the spiderman is having you for dinner tonight"

and i feel like i'm being eaten
by a thousand million shivering furry holes
and i know that in the morning i will wake up
in the shivering cold

and the spiderman is always hungry...

"Come into my parlour", said the spider to the fly... "I have something... "

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark
Comes in bells, your servant, don't forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

Downy sins of streetlight fancies
Chase the costumes she shall wear
Ermine furs adorn the imperious
Severin, Severin awaits you there

I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears

Kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather
Shiny leather in the dark
Tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

Severin, Severin, speak so slightly
Severin, down on your bended knee
Taste the whip, in love not given lightly
Taste the whip, now plead for me

I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather

Birta - Megas[1986]


Megas - Birta af Í góðri trú frá 1986

Þessi plata var sannkallað meistara kommbakk frá meistaranum. Þarna voru liðin átta ár frá síðustu plötu hans, Drögum að sjálfsmorði. Það blésu svo sannarlega ferskir vindar bæði í útsetningum og ljóðum. Ég tel þetta eitt af betri lögum plötunnar.

She was only sixteen, only sixteen
I loved her so
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know

We'd laugh and we'd sing
And do the little things
That made my heart glow
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know

Why did I give my heart so fast
It never will happen again
But I was a mere lad of sixteen
I've aged a year since then

She was only sixteen, only sixteen
With eyes that would glow
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know

(Then why did you give your heart so fast)
Oh, it never will happen again
(But you were a mere lad of sixteen)
I've aged a year since then

She was only sixteen, only sixteen
With eyes that would glow
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know

Lauflétt gítargrip fyrir áhugamenn um það fyrirbæri

Oh very young
What will you leave us this time
Youre only dancing on this earth for a short while
And though your dreams may toss and turn you now
They will vanish away like your daddys best jeans
Denim Blue fading up to the sky
And though you want him to last forever
You know he never will
(You know he never will )
And the patches make the goodbye harder still

Oh very young
What will you leave us this time
Therell never be a better chance to change your mind
And if you want this world to see a better day
Will you carry the words of love with you
Will you ride the great white bird into heaven
And though you want to last forever
You know you never will
(You know you never will )
And the goodbye makes the journey harder still

Oh very young
What will you leave us this time
Youre only dancing on this earth for a short while
Oh very young
What will you leave us this time

My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes I think you've seen me before

If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble. some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was

I think it's because I'm clumsy
I try not to talk too loud
Maybe it's because I'm crazy
I try not to act too proud

They only hit until you cry
After that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore

Yes I think I'm okay
I walked into the door again
Well, if you ask that's what I'll say
And it's not your business anyway
I guess I'd like to be alone
With nothing broken, nothing thrown

Just don't ask me how I am [X3]

Free, free, set them free
Free, free, set them free
Free, free, set them free

If you need somebody

If you want someone
You can do the same
If you want to keep something precious
You got to lock it up and throw away the key
If you want to hold onto your possession
Don't even think about me

If it's a mirror you want
Just look into my eyes
Or a whipping boy
Someone to despise
Or a prisoner in the dark
Tied up in chains you just can't see
Or a beast in a gilded cage
That's all some people ever want to be

If you love somebody
If you love someone
If you love somebody
If you love someone, set them free
Set them free
Set them free
Set them free

You can't control an independent heart
Can't tear the one you love apart
Forever conditioned to believe that we can't live
We can't live here and be happy with less
So many riches
So many souls
With everything we see that we want to possess

If you need somebody
Call my name
If you want someone
You can do the same
If you want to keep something precious
You got to lock it up and throw away the key
You want to hold onto your possession
Don't even think about me

Up On The Catwalk - Simple Minds[1984]



Simple Minds - Up On The Catwalk af Sparkle In The Rain frá 1984
Hér kemur lag af 6. LP plötu SM. Heyrði þetta lag fyrst í þætti Skúla Helgasonar (og hins sem ég man ekki hvað heitir) árið 1984 og var svo lánsamur að taka það upp á gamla Sanyo tækið mitt. Waterfront er kannski þekktasta lagið af plötunni en mér þykir þetta lag vera besta lagið með þessari ágætu sveit.




Up on the catwalk, a big wheel is spinning
And Dollars to Deutchmarks, and pennies from heaven
And up on the catwalk, there's one hundred million
With letters from thousands that say ``Just who are you?''
There's one thousand names that can spring up in my mind
But you'd call it blackmail and that's just not my kind
And up on the catwalk, up on the catwalk
And I don't know why
I will be there, I will be there, I will be there
I will be there, I will be there
Up on the catwalk there's street politicians
That crawl in from Broadway, say then who are you
And up on the catwalk there's one thousand postcards
From Montevideo, say that I'll be home soon
Get out of Bombay and go up to Brixton And look around, to see just what is missing
And up on the catwalk, girls call for mother And dream of their boyfriends
And I don't know why
I will be there, I will be there, I will be there
I will be there, I will be there
Tonight, under the crystal light, I'll tell you everything I need
Tonight, under the crystal light, surrender everything to me
Up on the catwalk, and you dress in waistcoats
And got brilliantino, and friends of Kim Philby
You float through the night time, like manna from heaven
But what, what do I know, and just what do I know
And up on the catwalk, in sweat that glistens
And I don't know why and I don't know why
I don't know why
I will be there, I will be there, I will be there
I will be there, I will be there
Tonight, under the crystal light, I'll tell you everything I need
Tonight, under the crystal light, surrender everything to me
Angel Angel Angel Angel
Ah huh Ah huh Ah huh Ah huh
One thousand names that spring up in my mind
One thousand names that spring up in my mind
Like Deodata, Michaelangelo, Robert de Niro, so many others
Natasia Kinski and Martin Luther - there's room for others, away from me
Up on the catwalk, up on the catwalk, up on the catwalk
I don't know why.

Best að halda sér við Hróarskeldu – en núna árið 1988. Laugardaginn 02.07.1988 klukkan 19.30 stigu á Appelsínugulasviðið The Rainmakers - og byrjuðu á laginu Rainmaker – ég hef ákveðið að tilnefna það núna. Líklega erum við sammála um að þetta sé ekkert merkilegt lag – en það er mér mjög minnisstætt.
Lagið kom út árið 1987 á Tornado.

Soft as snow(But warm inside) - My Bloody Valentine[1988]




Hróarskelduhátíðin er hafin einn eitt árið þótt vissulega séu orðin nokkuð mörg ár síðan ég var þar. My Bloody Valentine var eitt af heitu böndunum á Roskilde Festival 1989,spiluðu þar eftirminnilega á Nýja sviðinu föstudaginn 30.júní 1989. Lagið Soft as a snow er upphafslag plötunnar Isn´t Anything sem kom út 1988. Sveitin gaf aðeins út 2 plötur á sínum ferli, kom svo reyndar saman eftir 13 ára hlé 2008 til tónleikahalds og spilaði m.a. á Roskilde Festival það ár.


My Bloody Valentine - Soft As Snow - London 89

Soft as snow but warm inside
Penetrate you cannot hide
Feeling lost forever
Really need you
Feeling dark and feeling true
This is all i ever knew
Soft as skin in leather
And i whisper 'you'
Harder you come down on me
Sink away you look happily
Secrets keep forever
They're undressing me
Come inside it's warm in here
Better now to have no fear
Carried on a wave
(where it can lead) you
Touch your head, then your hair

Softer, softer everywhere
Fingertips are burning
Can i touch you there
Soft as velvet eyes can see
Bring me close to ecstacy
High away to heaven
And i'm coming too
Float now coming down on me
Handed you what i cannot see
Feel the big happy, you're exploding me

Soft as snow and warm inside
Penetrate then redivide
Slip away forever
(do we) need you

Bird on the Wire - Leonard Cohen[1969]

Leonard Cohen - Bird on the Wire af Songs from a Room frá 1969.

Á sjöunda áratugnum átti Leonard og kærastan hans Marianne heima á grísku eyjunni Hydra. Hún hjálpaði kallinum að komast upp úr þunglyndi með því að rétta honum gítarinn og hann byrjaði að semja þetta frábæra lag eftir að hann sá fugl sitja á símastaur. Og ég sem hélt að textinn væri um mig.



Um lagið

Cover
Adam Cohen (sonur Leonards)
Johnny Cash
Joe Cocker
Willie Nelson
Tom Cochrane


Like a bird on the wire,
like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
Like a worm on a hook,
like a knight from some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
If I, if I have been unkind,
I hope that you can just let it go by.
If I, if I have been untrue
I hope you know it was never to you.

Like a baby, stillborn,
like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone who reached out for me.
But I swear by this song
and by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee.
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch,
he said to me, "You must not ask for so much."
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,
she cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"

Oh like a bird on the wire,
like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
