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

Velvet Underground

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.

Serge Gainsbourg // La Javanaise [the pre-68 sixties that really revolutionised the world]

J'avoue

j'en ai

Bavé

pas vous

mon amour

avant

d'avoir

eu vent

de vous

mon amour-

ne vous déplaise

en dansant la Javanaise

nous nous aimions

le temps d'une chanson-

a votre

avis

qu'avons

nous vu

de l'amour

de vous

a moi

vous m'a-

vez eu

mon amour- hélas

avril

en vain

me voue

a l'amour

j'avais

envie

de voir

en vous

cet amour- la vie

ne vaut

d'être

vécue

sans amour

mais c'est

vous qui

l'avez

voulu

mon amour

dEUS - Nothing really ends [or that Gainsbourgesque feeling]

The plan it wasn't much of a plan

I just started walking

I had enough of this old town

and nothing else to do

It was one of those nights

you wonder how nobody died

we started talking

You didn't come here to have fun

you said: "well I just came for you"

Do you still love me?

do you feel the same

Do I have a chance

of doing that old dance

with someone I've been

pushing away

And touch we touched the soul

the very soul, the soul of what we were then

With the old schemes of shattered dreams

lying on the floor

You looked at me

no more than sympathy

my lies you have heard them

My stories you have laughed with

my clothes you have torn

And do you still love me?

do you feel the same

And do I have a chance

of doing that old dance again

Is it too late for some of that romance again

Let's go away, we'll never have the chance again

You lost that feeling

You want it again

More than I'm feeling

you'll never get

You had a go at

all that you know

You lost that feeling

so come down and show

Don't say goodbye

let accusations fly

like in that movie

You know the one where Martin Sheen

waves his arm to the girl on the street

I once told a friend

that nothing really ends

no-one can prove it

So I'm asking you now

could it possibly be

that you still love me?

And do you feel the same

Do I have a chance

of doing that old dance again

Or is it too late for some of that romance again

Let's go away, we'll never have the chance again

I take it all from you

I take it all from you

I take it all from you

I take it all from you

I take it all from you

I take it all from you

Bonnie Prince Billy // I see a Darkness

Well, you're my friend, (that's what you told me)

And can you see (what's inside of me)

Many times we've been out drinking

And many times we've shared our thoughts

But did you ever, ever notice, the kind of thoughts I got

Well you know I have a love, a love for everyone I know

And you know I have a drive to live I won't let go

But could you see its opposition comes arising up sometimes

That its dreadful antiposition comes blacking in my mind

And then I see a darkness

And then I see a darkness

And then I see a darkness

And then I see a darkness

And did you know how much I love you

Is a hope that somehow you, you

Can save me from this darkness

Well I hope that someday buddy

We have peace in our lives

Together or apart

Alone or with our wives

And we can stop our whoring

And pull the smiles inside

And light it up forever

And never go to sleep

My best unbeaten brother

This isn't all I see

Oh no, I see a darkness

Oh no, I see a darkness

Oh no, I see a darkness

Oh no, I see a darkness

And did you know how much I love you

Is a hope that somehow you, you

Can save me from this darkness

the Strokes // under cover of Darkness

Slip back out of whack, 

At your best. 

It's a nightmare, 

So I'm joining the army. 

Know how folks back out, 

I'll still call. 

Will you wait for me now? 

We've got the right to live, fight to use it, 

Got everything but you can just choose it, 

I won't just be a puppet on a string. 

Don't go that way. 

I'll wait for you. 

And I'm tired of all your friends 

Listening at your door 

And I want, 

What's better for you. 

So long, my friend 

And adversary. 

Oh, but I'll wait for you. 

Get dressed, jump out of bed 

You do it best. 

Are you OK? 

I've been all around this town 

Everybody's been singing the same song for ten years. 

I'll wait for you. 

Will you wait for me too? 

And they sacrifice their lives, 

In the land of all closed eyes. 

I've been saying it a billion times, 

And I'll say it again. 

So long, my end 

The sorry embrace. 

Don't go that way. 

I'll wait for you. 

I'm tired of all your friends, 

Knocking down your door. 

Get up in the morning and give it your all. 

So long, my friend 

And adversary.
