Reeperbahn - Tom Waits[2002]
TOM WAITS - "Reeperbahn"
Kom út 2002 á meistaraverkinu Alice
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qbPeMR1w88
http://www.tomwaits.com/albums/#/albums/album/7/Alice/
Around the curve of The Parrot Bar
A broken-down old movie star
Hustling and Easterner
Bringing out the beast in her
A high dive on a swimming pool
Filled with needles and with fools
The memories are short but the tales are long
When you're in the Reeperbahn
Oh, they called her Rosie when she was a girl
For her bright red cheeks and her strawberry curls
When she would laugh the river would run
She said she'd be a comedian
Oh what a pity, oh what a shame
When she said, ‘come calling’, nobody came
Now her bright red cheeks are painted on
And she's laughing her head off in the Reeperbahn
Now little Hans was always strange
Wearing womens underthings
His father beat him but he wouldn't change
He ran off with a man one day
Now his lingerie is all the rage
In the black on every page
His father proudly calls his name
Down there in the Reeperbahn
Now if you've lost your inheritance
And all you've left is common sense
And you're not too picky about the crowd you keep
Or the mattress where you sleep
Behind every window, behind every door
The apple has gone but there's always the core
And the seeds will sprout up right through the floor
Down there in the Reeperbahn
Down there in the Reeperbahn
Down there in the Reeperbahn

Tilnefning nr. 275 - Hörður
Ég vil fá mér kærustu - Hjálmar[2005]
2. stúdíóplata Hjálma kom út árið 2005 og bar heitið Hjálmar.
Ég vil fá mér kærustu er einmitt að finna á þeirri plötu. Frábær sveit hér á ferð.
Ég vil fá mér Kærustu
Ég vil fá mér kærust u sem allra allra fyrst.
En ekki verður gott að finna han a,
því hún skal hafa kinnar eins og hrútaber á kvist
og hvarmaljósin björt sem demantana
Hún skal vera fegurst af öllum innan lands
og iðin við að spinna og létt að stíga dans
og hún skal kunna’ að haga sér hið besta.
Þær eru flestar góðar meðan unnustinn er nær
en oss þær eru vissar til að blekkja
en ég vil fá mér eina þá sem ei við öðrum hlær
sem elskar mig og bara mig vill þekkja
og hún skal líka finna beztu hugarró hjá mér
ef húsi mínu færir hún iðni og dyggð með sér
og stóra, fulla kistu beztu klæða.
Og ef ég svo í eina næ jafnt alveg sem ég vil
þá óðara til brullups skal ég feta
og sveitafólk mitt veislu fær sem vantar ekkert til
og vín og hrokafylli sína að éta
og þar skal vera dans og drykkja daga þrjá í röð
hin dýra ást oss gjörir í hjörtunum svo glöð
en til þess verður ofurlitlu að eyða.

Nowhere man - The Beatles[1965]
The Beatles - Nowhere man af Rubber Soal frá 1965
Live í München 1966
Bráðsmellið kóver með gibba gibb bræðrum þar sem þeir minna skuggalega á Daltón bræður nema hvað mig minnir að Ibbi hafi alltaf verið síðastur.
Flott instumental kóver með Ulli Boegershausen þar sem hann spilar á 12 strengja gítar
Billy Corgan úr Smashing Pumpkins og Matt Walker
Smashing Pumpkins og Chris Isaak
He's a real nowhere man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his nowhere plans
for nobody.
Doesn't have a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere Man please listen,
You don't know what you're missing,
Nowhere Man,the world is at your command!
(lead guitar)
He's as blind as he can be,
Just sees what he wants to see,
Nowhere Man can you see me at all?
Nowhere Man, don't worry,
Take your time, don't hurry,
Leave it all till somebody else
lends you a hand!
Doesn't have a point of view,

Pregnant for the Last Time – Morrissey[1991]
Pregnant for the Last Time – Morrissey
Kom út á smáskífu árið 1991.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlP6coXQcps
Phlegm lapels for the last time
Corn beef legs for the last time
Oh, we're so glad
That you've finally decided
But then you see someone new
And you want someone new
So you have someone new
I don't blame you
We would all do the same as you
If ever we had the nerve to
Chips with cream for the last time
The People's Friend for the last time
Oh, we're so glad
That you've finally decided
Tiny striped socks for the last time
Pokes and prods for the last time
And the doctor said
Don't nod your head until June !
But then you see someone new
And you want someone new
So you have someone new
I don't blame you
We would all do the same as you
If ever we had the chance to
Sick at noon for the last time
And who is going to clean up ?
Would you be so kind ?
Oh, everybody's staring
At the strange clothes that you're wearing
Bad advice for the last time
And people being nice for the very first time
Oh, we're so glad

Arinbjarnarson - Spilverk Þjóðanna[1977]
Arinbjarnarson kom út 1977 á Sturlu. Eitt af fjölmörgum meistaraverkum Spilverksins.
Myndbandið mjög áhugavert.
Hví er ég Arinbjarnarson
En hvorki Kúld né Schiöth
Sem búa'á númer þrettán
Í sömu götu og ég
Í sama húsi og ég?
Á sömu hæð býr afi Arinbjörn
Og amma Fía sparsöm kona on'úr hreppum
Sem lifir dauðann af
Í dönskum bókaskáp
Mamma vildi annan mann
Og pabbi annað víf
En það fæddist lítið barn
Hér á þessum stað
Mér finnst það fjandi hart
Því barnið, ég er það
Ra - la - la - la - la - la - la
Því er ég hér en ekki þú
Og við við en ekki bara eitthvað annað
Maðkur eða mús
Máfur eða hús
Dagblað eða djús
Krukka eða krús
Mínus eða plús
Andrés eða önd

Ragnheiður biskupsdóttir - Megas[1975]
Megas - Ragnheiður biskupsdóttir af millilendingu frá 1975
Meira af sagnfærði undan rós frá meistaranum
Ragnheiður biskupsdóttir brókar var með sótt
og beiddi þegar Daði mælti á latínu.
Hann kenndi henni sitthvað til gamans og til gagns
og gjörðist snemma þaulkunnugur gatinu.
Í skammdeginu vildi hend að villtust bestu menn
og var oft fyrir kvenlíkami í rúminu.
En milli draums og veru þeir vissu óglögg skil
og voru síst að pæla í þeim í húminu.
Og Ragnheiður hún fæddi einn dag hann Daðason,
menn dylgjuðu, menn bára hana út, menn hæddu hana.
En hlýðið góðir drengir, það er hlálegt en þó satt,
það var helvítið hann Brynjólfur sem sæddi hana.

Sweet Child of Mine – The Gregorian[2009]
Frábært lag í stórkostlegri útgáfu Gregorian
Kom fyrst út 1987 á Appetite for Destruction – Guns and Roses - en útgáfan sem ég tilnefni kom út á Masters of Chant, Chapter VII árið 2009
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2y3xZxeOwtQ
She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I stared too long
I'd probably break down and cry
Oh, sweet child o' mine
Oh, sweet love of mine
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder and the rain
To quietly pass me by
Oh, sweet child o' mine
Oh, sweet love of mine
Oh, sweet child o' mine
Oh, sweet love of mine
Oh, sweet child o' mine
Oh, sweet love of mine

Well Pale Face said
To the Eyeball Kid
She just goes clank and boom and steam
A halo, wings, horns and a tail
Shoveling coal inside my dreams
There are no laws
She's made of cream
She's such a scream
Qui bon tres bien, nails in cement
A Donnie gal from mortal clay
The plow is red
THe well is full inside
The dollhouse of her skull
A cheetah coat fills up with steam
She's such a scream
All crooked lines
Her fireplace
A milktrain so clean
Machine gun haste
You'll ride the only wall of shame
And drag that chain across the state
Her lips are red
She is the queen
She's such a scream

Manstu - Ásbjörn Kristinsson Morthens[1987] 
Ásbjörn Kristinsson Morthens - Manstu af Dögun frá 1987.
Athugasemd vefstjóra: Tilnefnari og vefstjóri fundu ekki lagið á youtube, ef einhver les þetta þá má væri vel þegið að koma með lagið á youtube. Lagið er þó að finna í spilaranum.
Manstu þær nætur þegar engan svefn var að fá?
Endalaus partý, aldrei, aldrei slakað á.
Jaxla við bruddum bláir undir augum fölir á kinn.
Manstu þá daga þegar dópið var eini vinur þinn?
Manstu þegar óttinn fór á stjá?
Fórum aldrei til dyra nema fyrst að gá.
Þegar feigðin dansaði fyrir utan gluggann minn.
Tónlistin var svört, hún gaf okkur breik,
koma niður með stíl og feitum reyk.
Við neituðum að trúa að þetta væri allt feik.
Það væri búið að dæma okkur báða úr leik.
Manstu þá daga þegar dýrðin var til?
Rifum niður skápa, skriðum bak við þil.
Mínútan varð að martröð sem ekkert sló á
nema skammtur af Perú en það var ekkert að fá.
Manstu svo loks gamli að augun gátum ekki opnað?
Hræddir við að deyja, gátum ekki stoppað.
Og ég man þá daga vinur minn.

Soldier Of Fortune – Deep Purple[1974]
Soldier Of Fortune – Deep Purple
Kom út á níundu plötu Depp Purple – Stormbringer 1974
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BGwEulYs8c
I have often told you stories
About the way
I lived the life of a drifter
Waiting for the day
When I'd take your hand
And sing you songs
Then maybe you would say
Come lay with me love me
And I would surely stay
But I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
Many times I've been a traveller
I looked for something new
In days of old
When nights were cold
I wandered without you
But those days I thougt my eyes
Had seen you standing near
Though blindness is confusing
It shows that you're not here
Now I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
I can hear the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune

Funny How Love Is - Fine Young Canniballs[1986]
Fine Young Canniballs koma frá Birmingham líkt og UB40 sem ég tilnefndi síðast. Sá FYC í Höllinni 1986 á Listahátíð. Virkilega flott lag frá þeim félögum, saxófónninn alltaf jafn töfrandi hljóðfæri. Annars kom lagið út á fyrstu plötu þeirra félaga sem hét einfaldlega Fine Young Canniballs árið 1986.
**I go to places we used to go
I still see people we used to know
Friends they ask me where is she now
I have to tell them we're over now
**When at first you left I thought I'd surely die
I couldn't see a future without you by my side
We're not together but I'm still alive
I'd rather not see you for a very long time
Funny how love is
Funny how love is
Funny how love is
**I don't want your magazines I don't want your clothes
Take them from my house let me be alone
**Y'ever try to catch me in or call me on the phone
Don't send me letters I don't want to know
**When at first you left I thought I'd surely die
I couldn't see a future without you by my side
We're not together but I'm still alive
I'd rather not see you for a very long time
Funny how love is

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

Tilnefning nr. 265 - Kjartan
Back in the box - Hawkwind[1992]
Hawkwind - Back In The Box. Held að eina platan sem þetta verk er að finna á sé California Brainstorm sem tekin var upp 1990 en kom út 1992.
Fann ekki sömu útgáfu og er á plötunni.
Live
Fróðleikur um þessa einstöku og frábæru sveit
Back in the box, shut in the dark
Falling apart
Digging the dirt
Hiding the hurt
Locked in a dream
What does it mean?
Shut in the box
Too many locks
Back in the box, back in the box
Back in the box, back in the box
Counting down
Twisting round
See behind your back
Counting down
Twisting round
See behind your back
....behind your back [ x 7 ]
Locked in dreams
What does it mean?
Shut in a box
There's too many locks
Shut in a box
There's too many locks
Round and round
Round and round and round
I see you
Hanging there
Switch on the TV, look at the screen
Money for a Rolls or a washing machine
You pay your money and you pay your rent
Every day it's always spent
Maybe it starts to be the same
You look out your window and it starts to rain
Someone is saying it's time to die
Send us some money and I'll tell you why
I pay my stamps and I pay my tax
I daren't stop working and that's a fact
But all I see on the TV screen
Is starving kids and war machines
Is this what i've been taught in school?
Is education the golden rule?
the golden rule
the golden rule.......

Switching off - Elbow[2003]
Enn og aftur vil ég tilnefna lag með Elbow - núna er það Switching off
Kom út 2003 á Cast of Thousands
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdwt-x2fQ4g
Last of the men in hats hops off the coil
And a final scene unfolds inside
Deep in the rain of sparks behind his brow
Is a part replayed from a perfect day
Teaching her how to whistle like a boy
Love's first blush
Chorus
Is this making sense?
What am I trying to say?
Early evening June
This room and a radio play
This I need to save
I choose my final thoughts today
Switching off with you
All the clocks give in
And the traffic fades
And the insects like a neon choir
The instant fizz
Connection made
And the curtains sigh
In time
With you
Chorus 2
You, the only sense the world has ever made
Early evening June
This room and radio play
This I need to save
I choose my final scene today
Switching off
Ran to ground for a while there
But I came off pretty well
Chorus 3
You, the only sense the world has ever made
This I need to save
A simple trinket locked away
I choose my final scene today
Switching off with you

Food for thought - UB40[1980]
Eitt af mínum uppáhaldslögum með UB40 þegar þeir voru á sínum upphafsárum. Lagið kom út á þeirra fyrstu plötu Signing off 1980. Á tónleikaplötunni UB40 Live sem kom út árið 1983 tóku þeir þetta lag sem ég er sérlega hrifinn af.
Ivory madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.
Barren is her bosom, empty as her eyes,
Death a certain harvest scattered from the skies.
Skin and bones is creeping, does`nt know he`s dead.
Ancient eyes are peeping, from his infant head.
Politician`s argue sharpening their knives.
Drawing up their Bargains, trading baby lives.
(Chorus)
Ivory madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.
Hear the bells are ringing, Christmas on it`s way.
Hear the angels singing, what is that they say?
Eat and drink rejoicing, joy is here to stay.
Jesus son of mary is born again today.
(Chorus)
Ivory madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.

Waiting for the manna coming from the west.

Þórður – Sverrir Stormsker. Kom út 1986 á Lífsleiðin(n)
Hve sárt ég sakna þín,
ég sit við egstein þinn
og hugsa’ um horfna tíð,
hjartans vinur minn.
Sú sannreynd sturlar mig
að við sjáumst aldrei meir
Þú gafst mér nýja sál,
sál sem eitt sinn deyr.
Ó, hve sár var dauði þinn
þú varst eini vinur minn
einn ég stari’ í sortann inn
með sorgardögg á kinn
Hve leið og laus við svör,
er lífsins gönguför
við leyndar dómsins dyr,
deyja mennirnir.

Biblel - Imperiet[1986]
Imperiet - Biblel af Synd frá 1986
Och jorden snurrade öde och töm
Och allt var tyst över haven
Då hördes en röst ifrån ovan
Och det vart ljus den första dagen
Och rösten sade frambringen frukt
Och må de hava sitt frå på jorden
Och inga brott var ånnu begögna
Den andra dagen kom till norden
Och till sin avbild gjorde rösten en man
Och en kvinna att elska varann
Och dom blev kungar på jordklotets rund
Det var den tredje dagens rand
Så vem skall be for Babylon
Sjung en psalm for Babylon
Fall på knæ for Babylon
Slå på trumman for Babylon
Faller
Man och kvinna lærde sej eld
Och byggde riken och murar
Den fjærde dagen var murarna så långa
Att ingen visste var dom slutade
Och ingen hörde ej længre nögon röst
Hör våxte stæder mot skyarna
Den femte dagen då væren blev höst
Fåll det ett regn över månskobyarna
Och inga murar kan stoppa ett regn
Som faller år efter år
Den sjætte dagen har en röst mig berættat
Var jorden som ett öppet sår
Så vem skall be för Babylon
Sjung en psalm för Babylon
Fall på knæ för Babylon
Slå på trumman för Babylon
Faller
Och jorden snurrade öde och tom
Och allt var tyst över haven
Då hördes en röst ifrön ovan
Och det vart ljus den sjunde dagen
Så vem skall be för Babylon
Sjung en psalm för Babylon
Fall på knå för Babylon
Slå på trumman för Babylon
Faller
Og hér er textinn á ensku af því sumt fólk þykist ekki skilja sænsku:
The earth was spinning all vacant and waste
And there was silence over the ocean
When a voice came thundering from above
The first day of light was in motion
And the voice said may fruits be created
And seeds take root as they may
And no crimes were yet commited
An life was breathing it's second day
And in his image the voice made a man
And a woman to love one another
And they became rulers of the new born globe
And the third day was their mother
Now who will prey for Babylon
Sing a song to Babylon
On their knees the people of Babylon
You beat that drum coz Babylon is falling
Man and woman learn to make fire
And kingdoms and walls were extended
The fourth day the walls were reaching so far
No-one knew how to end them
And no one heard the voice anymore
Metal-cities rose and ascend
The fifth day sprinted in to fall
And a rain fell over the land
There are no walls to stop such a rain
That keeps falling forever more
I was told by a voice the sixth day
The globe was like an open soar
Now who will prey for Babylon
Sing a song to Babylon
On their knees the people of Babylon
You beat that drum coz Babylon is falling
The earth was spinning all vacant and waste
And there was silence over the oceans
When a voice came thundering from above
The seventh day was in motion
Now who will prey for Babylon
Sing a song to Babylon
On their knees the people of Babylon
You beat that drum coz Babylon is falling

Selja tuskudúkkum happ
Undir yfirskyni því
Að allt sé merkin skrifað í
Stjörnuómerkilegt staut
Er allt hans innantóma taut
Það vekur viðbjóð innan til
Er vísindagyðju daðrar við
Það má víst teljast merkilegt
Hve margir trúa á tungl
Og ótrúlegt hversu illa blekkt
þau álpast inná hans rugl
Þí framtíð fagmannlega er ort
Og færð þar inná stjörnukort
Það líf víst lítils virði er
Sem lætur stjörnur stjórna sér
Aum er afsökunin sú
Er iðrast innilega þú
Af efni í blóraböggul þinn
Er birgur stjörnuglópurinn
Við steina á himni og stjörnustokk
Fær staðföst trúin skjól
Enda algjört auraplokk
Af álfum út úr hól.

Painted room...can't deny there's something wrong...
Don't call me daughter not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me...
She holds the hand that holds her down
She will...rise above
Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to be
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me...
The shades go down
The shades go, go, go...

Real Good Looking Boy - The Who[2004]
The Who - Real Good Looking Boy frá 2004
önnur útgáfa
When I think back to the
first time in my childhood
When I saw that face
I thought right then,
'That's a real good looking boy'
I saw myself in the mirror
in profile
for the first time
I thought,
'Hey! That's a real good looking boy'
And I felt then
that I moved
With all those lucky fucks and angels
High in the theatre
In the sky
So I ran to my mother
I said,
'Mom - take a look at me
Have you ever seen a teen
Fly so high?'
That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy
She said,
'Son, well, you know,
you're an ugly boy.
You don't really look like him
In this long line
There's been some
real strange genes
You've got 'em all
You've got 'em all
With some extras thrown in'
That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy
Wise men say
Only fools, only fools rush in
But I - I can't help
Falling in love, in love with you
Now I'm here with you little darling
And you say, 'You're beautiful as you are'
And I've managed somehow to survive
You arrived in my life like a fragrance and
you help me find a way to laugh
Now I Know how so-called beauty lies
God gave him a face
Then he gave me something above
God gave me a grace
Man, he gave me your sweet, sweet, sweet love
You make me feel like I'm a real good looking boy
I feel I'm a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy

My Special Child - Sinead O'Connor[2009]
Komið að gullfallegu lagi með Sinead O'Connor – My Special Child
Kom út 2009 á sérútgáfu af I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got

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