Lana Del Rey // Video Games [the New Dream-state]

Swinging in the back yard
Pull up in your fast car
Whistling my name


Open up a beer and
Say get over here
And play a video game


I'm in his favorite sun dress
Watchin me get undressed
Take my body down town


I say 'You da bestest'
Lean in for a big kiss
Put his favorite perfume on
Go play a video game


It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
Tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living
If somebody is loving you
Baby now you do


Singing in the old bar
Swinging with the old stars
Living for the fame
Kissing in the blue dark
Playing pool and wild darts
Video games


He holds me in his big arms
He's drunk and I am seein' stars
This is all I think of
Watchin all our friends fall
Leanin out of old cars
This is my idea of fun
Playing video games


It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
Tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living
If somebody is loving you
Baby now you do


(Now you do)


It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
Tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth wit' you
Tell me all the things you wanna do do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living
If somebody is loving you
Maybe now you do


Maybe now you do


(Now you do)

Brian Eno // By This River [from emptiness to waters]

Here we are 

Stuck by this river, 

You and I 

Underneath a sky that's ever falling down, down, down 

Ever falling down.

Through the day 

As if on an ocean 

Waiting here, 

Always failing to remember why we came, came, came: 

I wonder why we came. 

You talk to me 

as if from a distance 

And I reply 

With impressions chosen from another time, time, time, 

From another time.

Roxy Music // In Every Dream Home a Heartache [artificial love and the semi-emptiness of opulence]

In every dream home a heartache

And every step I take

Takes me further from heaven

Is there a heaven?

I`d like to think so

Standards of living

They're rising daily

But home oh sweet home

It's only a saying

From bell push to faucet

In smart town apartment

The cottage is pretty

The main house a palace

Penthouse perfection

But what goes on

What to do there

Better pray there

Open plan living

Bungalow ranch style

All of its comforts

Seem so essential

I bought you mail order

My plain wrapper baby

Your skin is like vinyl

The perfect companion

You float my new pool

De luxe and delightful

Inflatable doll

My role is to serve you

Disposable darling

Can't throw you away now

Immortal and life size

My breath is inside you

I'll dress you up daily

And keep you till death sighs

Inflatable doll

Lover ungrateful

I blew up your body

But you blew my mind

Oh Those Heartaches

Dreamhome Heartaches

For Your Pleasure [Vinyl]

David Bowie // Lady Grinning Soul [she Drove a beetle car]

She'll come, she'll go. She'll lay belief on you

Skin sweet with musky oil

The lady from another grinning soul

Cologne she'll wear. Silver and Americard

She'll drive a beetle car

And beat you down at cool Canasta

And when the clothes are strewn don't be afraid of the room

Touch the fullness of her breast. Feel the love of her caress

She will be your living end

She'll come, she'll go. She'll lay belief on you

But she won't stake her life on you

How can life become her point of view

And when the clothes are strewn don't be afraid of the room

Touch the fullness of her breast. Feel the love of her caress

She will be your living end

She will be your living end

She will be your living end

She will be your living end

She will be your living end

The Divine Comedy // A Lady of a Certain Age [getting older by Lake Geneva]

Back in the day you had been part of the smart set

You'd holidayed with kings, dined out with starlets

From London to New York, Cap Ferrat to Capri

In perfume by Chanel and clothes by Givenchy

You sipped camparis with David and Peter

At Noel's parties by Lake Geneva

Scaling the dizzy heights of high society

Armed only with a cheque-book and a family tree

You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur

Until the light of youth became obscured

And left you on your own and in the shade

An English lady of a certain age

And if a nice young man would buy you a drink

You'd say with a conspiratorial wink

"You wouldn't think that I was seventy"

And he'd say,"no, you couldn't be!"

You had to marry someone very very rich

So that you might be kept in the style to which

You had all of your life been accustomed to

But that the socialists had taxed away from you

You gave him children, a girl and a boy

To keep your sanity a nanny was employed

And when the time came they were sent away

Well that was simply what you did in those days

You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur

Until the light of youth became obscured

And left you on your own and in the shade

An English lady of a certain age

And if a nice young man would buy you a drink

You'd say with a conspiratorial wink

"You wouldn't think that I was sixty three"

And he'd say,"no, you couldn't be!

Your son's in stocks and bonds and lives back in Surrey

Flies down once in a while and leaves in a hurry

Your daughter never finished her finishing school

Married a strange young man of whom you don't approve

Your husband's hollow heart gave out one Christmas Day

He left the villa to his mistress in Marseilles

And so you come here to escape your little flat

Hoping someone will fill your glass and let you chat about how

You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur

Until the light of youth became obscured

And left you all alone and in the shade

An English lady of a certain age

And if a nice young man would buy you a drink

You'd say with a conspiratorial wink

"You wouldn't think that I was fifty three"

And he'd say,"no, you couldn't be!

Bang Goes The Knighthood

Grandaddy // AM 180 [the wise teen-age]

Don’t change your name

Keep it the same

For fear I may lose you again

I know you won't

It's just that I

Am unorganized

And I want to find you

When something good happens

If you come down

We'll go to town

I haven't been there for years

But I’d be fine

Wasting our time

Not doing anything here

Just doing nothing

We’ll sit for days

And talk about things

Important to us like whatever

We'll defuse bombs

And walk marathons

And take on whatever, together

the Velvet Underground // New Age [or to come of age]

Can I have your autograph 

He said to the fat blonde actress 

You know I've seen every movie you've been in 

From paths of pain to jewels of glory 

And when you kissed robert mitchum 

Gee but I thought you'd never catch him 

Over the hill right now 

And you're looking for love 

You're over the hill right now 

And you're looking for love 

I'll come running to you honey when you want me 

I'll come running to yoy honey when you want me 

Can I have your autograph 

He said to the fat blonde actress 

You know I know everything you've done 

Anyway I hate divorces 

To the left is a marble shower 

It was fun even for an hour 

Your're over the hill right now 

And you're looking for love 

You're over the hill right now 

And you're looking for love 

I'll come running to you honey when you want me 

I'll come running to you honey when you want me 

Something's got a hold on me 

And I don't know what 

Something's got a hold on me 

And I don't know what 

It's the beginning of a new age 

It's the beginning of a new age 

It's a new age

Radiohead // Kid A [bedtime stories to my child]

I slip away

I slipped on a little white lie

We've got heads on sticks

You've got ventriloquists

We've got heads on sticks

You've got ventriloquists

Standing in the shadows at the end of my bed

Standing in the shadows at the end of my bed

Standing in the shadows at the end of my bed

Standing in the shadows at the end of my bed

The rats and children follow me out of town

The rats and children follow me out of their homes

Come on Kids

Thom Yorke // Atoms for peace ["Sunday Morning" with my child]

No more going to the dark side with your flying saucer eyes

No more falling down a wormhole that I have to pull you out

The wriggling, squiggling worm inside

Devours from the inside out

No more talk about the old days

It's time for something great

I want you to get out

And make it work

So many lies

So many lies

So many lies

So feel the love come off of them

And take me in your arms

Peel all of your layers off

I want to eat your artichoke heart

No more leaky holes in your brain

And no false starts

I wanna get out

And make it work

So many lies

So many lies

So many lies

So feel the love come off of them

And take me in your arms

I wanna get out

And make it work

I want you to get out

And make it work

I'll be ok

So many lies

So many lies

So many lies

So feel the love come off of them

And take me in your arms

Thomas Dybdahl // One day you'll dance for me, New York City [from Milano to]

Dazed and confused

But most of all battered and bruised

I came with a dream

Shared by more than a few it seems

Fall asleep now, new york city

I need to rest my eyes

Someday i`ll rise, new york city

One day you`ll dance for me

Fall back

It`s been a lot day but we`re still on track

Embrace the fierce reality

Or wither away in sentimentality

All asleep now, new york city

I need to rest my eyes

Someday i`ll rise, new york city

One day you`ll dance for me

Baustelle // Un romantico a Milano [the Italian well-plotted story]

Mamma

che ne dici di un romantico a Milano?

fra i Manzoni preferisco quello vero:Piero

Leggi

c'è un maniaco sul 'Corriere della Sera'

la sua mano per la zingara di Brera

è nera

Fuggi

cosa fuggi non c'è modo di scappare

ho la febbre ma ti porto fuori a bere

non è niente stai tranquilla è solo il cuore

porta ticinese piove ma c'è il sole

quando il dandy muore fuore nasce un fiore

le ragazze fan la fila per vedere

la sua tomba con su scritte le parole

"io vi amo

vi amo ma vi odio però

vi amo tutti

è bello è brutto io non lo so

io vi amo

vi amo ma vi odio però

vi amo tutti

è bello è brutto è solo questo"

Scusi

che ne pensa di un romantico alla Scala?

quando canta le canzoni della mala scola

quasi centomila Montenegro e Bloody Mary

mocassini gialli e sentimenti chiaro-scuri

Cara

scriverà sulle tovaglie dei Navigli

quanta gioia, quanti giorni, quanti sbagli

quanto freddo nei polmoni

che dolore

non è niente non è niente

lascia stare

se la Madonnina muore nasce un fiore

lui non vuole che la sua ragazza legga

quelle frasi incise quelle frasi amare

la sua tomba con su scritte le parole

"io vi amo

vi amo ma vi odio però

vi amo tutti

è bello è brutto io non lo so

io vi amo

vi amo ma vi odio però

vi amo tutti

è bello è brutto è un giglio marcio

io vi amo

vi amo ma vi sputo però

vi amo tutti

è bello è brutto è solo questo"

L'erba ti fa male se la fumi senza stile!

Pulp // Disco 2000 [the well-plotted story]

Well we were born within one hour of each other.

Our mothers said we could be sister and brother.

Your name is Deborah, Deborah.

It never suited ya.

Oh they thought that when we grew up,

we'd get married, and never split up.

We never did it, although often I thought of it.

Oh Deborah, do you recall?

Your house was very small,

with wood chip on the wall.

When I came around to call,

you didn't notice me at all.

I said let's all meet up in the year 2000.

Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown.

Be there at 2 o'clock by the fountain down the road.

I never knew that you'd get married.

I would be living down here on my own on

that damp and lonely Thursday years ago.

You were the first girl at school to get breasts.

Martyn said that yours were the best.

The boys all loved you but I was a mess.

I had to watch them trying to get you undressed.

We were friends but that was as far as it went.

I used to walk you home sometimes but it meant,

oh it meant nothing to you,

cos you were so popular.

Deborah do you recall?

Your house was very small,

with woodchip on the wall.

When I came around to call,

you didn't notice me at all.

I said let's all meet up in the year 2000.

Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown.

Be there at 2 o'clock by the fountain down the road.

I never knew that you'd get married.

I would be living down here on my own

on that damp and lonely Thursday years ago.

Oh yeah,

oh yeah.

Ah do you recall?

Your house was very small,

with wood chip on the wall.

When I came around to call,

you didn't notice me at all.

I said let's all meet up in the year 2000.

Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown.

Be there at 2 o'clock by the fountain down the road.

I never knew that you'd get married.

I would be living down here on my own,

on that damp and lonely Thursday years ago.

Oh what are you doing Sunday baby.

Would you like to come and meet me maybe?

You can even bring your baby.

Ohhh ooh ooh. Ooh ooh ooh ooh.

What are you doing Sunday baby.

Would you like to come and meet me maby?

You can even bring your baby.

Ooh ooh oh. Ooh ooh ooh ooh. Ooh ooh ooh ooh. Oh.
