Style

you've got the money, i've got the time
you want your freedom, make your freedom mine
'cause i've got the style it takes
and money is all that it takes

you've got connections, i've got the art
you like my attention and i like your looks
and i have the style it takes
and you know the people it takes

why don't you sit right over there, we'll do a movie portrait
i'll turn the camera on and i won't even be there
a portrait that moves, you look great i think

i'll put the Empire State Building on your wall
for 24 hours glowing on your wall
watch the sun rise above it in your room
wallpaper art, a great view

John Cale & Lou Reed /// *

It Takes

i've got a Brillo box and i say it's art
it's the same one you can buy at any supermarket
'cause i've got the style it takes
and you've got the people it takes

this is a rock group called The Velvet Underground
i show movies on them, do you like their sound
'cause they have a style that grates
and i have art to make

let's do a movie here next week
we don't have sound but you're so great
you don't have to speak

you've got the style it takes, kiss
you've got the style it takes, eat
you've got the style it takes, couch
you've got the style it takes, kiss

Peter, Paul & Mary

Early Morning

in the early morning rain
with a dollar in my hand
and an aching in my heart
and my pockets full of sand
i'm a long way from home
and i miss my loved one so
in the early morning rain
with nowhere to go

cut on runway number nine
big 707 set to go
i'm stuck here on the ground
where the cold winds blow
the liquor tasted good
and the women all were fast
there she goes, my friend
she's rolling down at last

Rain

hear the mighty engines roar
see the silver bird on high
she's away and westward bound
far above the clouds she'll fly
where the morning rain don't fall
and the sun always shines
she'll be flying over my home
in about three hours time

this old airport's got me down
it's no earthly good to me
because i'm stuck here on the ground
cold and drunks as i might be
you can't hop a jet plane
like you can a freight train
so i'd best be on my way
in the early morning rain

Is There Any Way Out

i can clearly see nothing as clear
i keep falling apart every year
let's take a hammer to it
there's no glamour in it
is there any way out of this dream

Crystal Gayle /// *

Of This Dream ?

i'm as blue as i can possibly be
is there someone else out there for me
summer is dragging its feet
i feel so incomplete
is there any way out of this dream
summer is dragging its feet
i feel so incomplete
is there any way out of this dream

Leonard Cohen

Oh, my dear friend
explain me again
everything about life

Joan Of Arc

she said, i'm tired of the war
i want the kind of work i had before
a wedding dress or something white
to wear upon my swollen appetite

well, i'm glad to hear you talk this way
you know i've watched you riding every day
and something in me yearns to win
such a cold and lonesome heroine
and who are you?, she sternly spoke
to the one beneath the smoke
why, i'm fire, he replied
and i love your solitude
i love your pride

i saw her wince, i saw her cry
i saw the glory in her eye
myself i long for love and light
but must it come so cruel
and oh, so bright

Kissing /// Oh, My God !!!

a hora da partida soa quando
escurece o jardim e o vento passa
estala o chão e as portas batem
quando a noite cada nó em si deslaça

Bliss /// For Teresa

Kissing /// Agora Tu...

soa quando no fundo dos espelhos
me é estranha e longínqua a minha face
e de mim se desprende a minha vida

Sophia de Mello Breyner

I'm A Fool

i'm a fool to want you
i'm a fool to want you
to want a love that can't be true
a love that's there for others too

i'm a fool to hold you
such a fool to hold you
to seek a kiss not mine alone
to share a kiss that devil has known

To Want You

time and time again
i said i'd leave you
time and time again
i went away
but then would come the time
when i would need you
and once again
these words i had to say

take me back
i love you
i need you
i know it's wrong
it must be wrong
but right or wrong
i can't get along
without you

Billie Holiday /// *

Where Is

My Love ?

Lilac

i lost myself
on a cool damp night
gave myself in that misty light
was hypnotized
by a strange delight
under a lilac tree
i made wine from the lilac tree
put my heart in its recipe
it makes me see
what i want to see
and be what i want to be
when i think more
than i want to think
do things i never should do
i drink much more
than i ought to drink
because it brings me
back to you

Wine

lilac wine is sweet and heady
like my love
lilac wine
i feel unsteady
like my love
listen to me
i cannot see clearly
isn't that she coming to me
nearly here?
lilac wine is sweet and heady
where's my love?
lilac wine
i feel unsteady
where's my love?
listen to me
why is everything so hazy?
isn't that she
or am i just going crazy, dear?
lilac wine
i feel unready for my love
feel unready
for my love

Jeff Buckley /// What A Way To Go /// *


I NEED A LULLABYE
A KISS GOODNIGHT
ANGEL, SWEET LOVE OF MY LIFE
OH, I NEED THIS

Where Is

My Love ?
