Tilnefning nr. 302 - Kjartan

Charlotte Street - Lloyd Cole[1984]



Lloyd Cole - Charlotte Street af Rattlesnakes frá 1984



i was looking for a rhyme for the new york times
when i sensed i was not alone
she said d'you know how to spell audaciously
i could tell i was in luck
and so i forced a smile contrary to my style
and she looked into my eyes
she said d'you want to go heaven
or would you rather not be saved

here comes my train
i'm on my way, will you not see
i don't need your sympathy
i won't read your poetry, oh sweetness please

so she took me back to her basement flat
which was down on charlotte street
though it was never my intention
we were not intense, not least because
well if you must just take then i'm a piece of cake
that is what she said to me
and so i gave myself to her charity
well at least that's how it seemed

here comes my train
i'm on my way, what got into me
i don't need your sympathy
i won't read your poetry, oh bittersweets

i was looking for a rhyme for the new times when i was distracted
yes those were precious times together that we wasted
now i'm working hard for my union card
i must be leaving charlotte street
though it was never my intention to stay so long
so long

Tilnefning nr. 301 - Hörður

I wanna be adored - The Stone Roses[1989]

Held að það sé kominn tími á tilnefningu og þótt fyrr hefði verið.
Ofurhljómsveitin The Stone Roses hér með lag af sinnu fyrstu og einu alvöruplötu.
Hljómsveitin á uppruna sinn að rekja til Manchester en á þeim tíma var velgegni þeirrar borgar aðalega fólgin í góðri tónlist en síður í öflugum fótboltaliðum.
Reyndar sýnist mér sú þróun hafa eitthvað breyst hin síðari ár fótboltanum í vil.

Tilnefning nr. 300 - Guðjón

Birthday -The Sugarcubes[1987]

Einhvern veginn kemur þetta lag upp í heilabúinu á mér þegar ég hugsa um fyrri tilnefningu mína nr. 299. Þessi lög eiga kannski eitthvað sameiginlegt?



She Lives In This House Over There
Has Her World Outside It
Scrapples In The Earth With Her Fingers And Her Mouth
She's Five Years Old

Thread Worms On A String
Keeps Spiders In Her Pocket
Collects Fly Wings In A Jar
Scrubs Horse Flies
And Pinches Them On A Line
Ohhh...

She Has One Friend, He Lives Next Door
They're Listenening To The Weather
He Knows How Many Freckles She's Got
She Scratches His Beard

She's Painting Huge Books
And Glues Them Together
They Saw A Big Raven
It Glided Down The Sky
She Touched It
Ohh...

Today Is A Birthday
They're Smoking Cigars
He's Got A Chain Of Flowers
And Sows A Bird In Her Knickers
Ohhh...

They're Smoking Cigars
They Lie In The Bathtub
A Chain Of ... Flowers

Tilnefning nr. 299 - Guðjón

The Lovecats - The Cure[1983]

Veit ekki hvort ég elska ketti en er þó mikill dýravinur. En allavega elska ég þetta lag.



We move like cagey tigers
We couldn't get closer than this
The way we lovecats
The way we talk
The way we stalk
The way we kiss
We slip through the streets
While everyone sleeps
Getting bigger and sleeker
And wider and brighter
We bite and scratch and scream all night
Let's go and
Throw all the songs we know
Into the sea
You and me
All these years and no one heard
I'll show you in spring
It's a treacherous thing
We missed you hissed the lovecats

We're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully
Wonderfully pretty
Oh you know that I'd do anything for you
We should have each other to tea huh?
We should have each other with cream
Then curl up by the fire
And sleep for awhile
It's the grooviest thing
It's the perfect dream

Hand in hand
Is the only way to land
And always the right way round
Not broken in pieces
Like hated little meeces
How could we miss
Someone as dumb as this

I love you, let's go
Oh, solid gone
How could we miss someone as dumb
As this?
