"SHE WOULD LOOK FOR ME"

OKKERVIL RIVER

 All the girls around me said you were gonna be there
Seattle moonlight motel, a rattlesnake the evening
I smelled it in the wind, I can taste it in a cocktail

She'll call me, I know she will look for me

All the air that drowned me, it said a little secret
A sunken giant sleeps off the coast of California
Go down the blue ravine where the way is steep and broken

She'll call me, I know she will look for me
And they say that it doesn't look good
They say that it doesn't look good for me

Like if I were a knight I'd hallucinate a movie
My CineColor baby, the lace sticks to your body
Battlefields of death fought for palaces of money
The song had my heart racing, the wine got my head heavy
My sword became so bloody, I don't know what I've done

Would you see me my love, would you wait for me?
Would you stand by the high prison gate for me?
Well they tell me it doesn't look great
And they say that it doesn't look great for me

Like a breath of fall on your weekend, I'm high
I said "you know it's great to be worth it or to fall behind
Washed away
Washed away
Washed away"

Oh, the breath escapes me, I'm shaking like a lost thing
Invaded by your face, overtaken by a feeling
I saw the sky, it's spinning, I heard the branches snapping

She'll call me, I know she would look for me
And they say that it doesn't look good
Well they say that it doesn't look good for me.

 Hey, my little baby
Pointing at the sky's amazing
In the lake now
All of this sensation
And no space on earth to place it
Where it's safe now
You've got a big day coming
A big day coming now

Gather, crowd, around me
In the gutter where you found me
Help me stand now
My body, it is aching
And my poor old heart is breaking
And I'm so freaked out
We've got a big chance coming
A big chance coming now

All the little Sadies
And the literary ladies
Wish me well now
A slab upon a plane that
Through the air is silver swaying
Into sun now
I hightail my cool haircut
Through the turnstiles of the airport
On the run now
Flip a couple hundred pages
I was turning thirty-eight
I was a horrible sight
You've got a bad day coming
A sad day coming 'round
I'll wear a white suit and black sunglasses
To the last mass now
Okay

Then give me one last kiss
In your pink silk dress, I guess
Said, "I have lost all will to"
With my face pressed against your breast
And I have pilfered the king's pills
From the palace medicine chest
I cried a quart of crocodile tears
Onto Allison Anne's pink champagne glass
I was escorted from the premises
For being a mess

And it's just like when John Howe told me
How the Force MDs died
Lou Gehrig's disease laid T.C.D. low
Mercury had a heart attack back in '95
And where DJ Doctor Rock went
Nobody knows
I see my grandfather, T. Holmes
"Bud" Moore laid up in his hospital clothes
But I think about Judee Sill dying in some trailer park
Out of cocaine and codeine all alone
It was a big waste
Brother, such a big waste
Yeah, I know
They had some great songs
Must have been a great time
So long ago
But I didn't open up my mouth
Just to piss and moan
No way

All the air is glitter
And I went and hit the
Skating rink alone now
I'll watch the kids all skim across the ice
They look so nice
It was so cold out
And then I coughed into my cupped hands
Across the rink so I could hear the band
Two guitars, a drummer
A chick singer with a Kurzweil
On a keyboard stand
And I said, "Play that cover"
I said, "Play that cover song again"

"LA TORRE MÉS ALTA"

XAVIER BARÓ

 Joventut ociosa
feta esclavitud,
per delicadesa
la vida he perdut.
Ai, què dies vinguin
que els cors enamorin.

Que vingui, que vingui
el temps que ens enamori.

He set tan pacient
que mai he oblidat.
Pors i sofriments
als cels han marxat.
I la set malsana
m'enfosquí les venes.

Que vingui, que vingui
el temps que ens enamori.

Tal com està el prat
a l'oblit lliurat,
crescut i florit
d'encens i ebrietat.
I els brunzits ferotges
de cent brutes mosques.

Que vingui, que vingui
el temps que ens enamori.

"EL COR AJUSTICIAT"

XAVIER BARÓ 

http://xavierbaro.bandcamp.com/track/el-cor-ajusticiat-le-coeur-supplici 

 El meu trist cor baveja a popa,
mon cor és tot ple de tabac;
ells li llancen xapels de sopa.
El meu trist cor baveja a popa,
sota les burles de la tropa
que alcen un riure general.
El meu trist cor baveja a popa,
mon cor és tot ple de tabac.

Ninots grollers, fàl·lics, i ultratges;
els seus insults l'han depravat.
Al vespre, ells li fan més greuges,
ninots grollers, fàl·lics, i ultratges.
Onades abracadabrantesques,
preneu mon cor, feu-li un rentat.
Ninots grollers, fàl·lics, i ultratges.
Els seus insults l'han depravat.

Quan ells hauran finit les burles,
com puc seguir, oh cor robat?
I cantaran brutes tonades,
quan ells hauran finit les burles.
Jo tindré arcades nauseabundes
si el meu trist cor és ultratjat.
Quan ells hauran finit les burles,
com puc seguir, oh cor robat?

"SNOW CAMPING"

LAURA VEIRS 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDyQ-bdnTE4

 
I saw the violet turn to night
I saw the water turn to ice
A thousand snowflakes hovered ‘round me
The world aglow

I heard a distant songbird singing
A song the words i used to know
And as the melody went ringing
I felt my bones on the rocks below
The weighted trees of my only home

With brother sleeping right beside me
The blankets pulled up to his chin
The makeshift snow cave settled slightly
But held us in and sheltered us
Like mom and dad, they always helped us

"GOODBYE TO YOU"

BEN HARPER & THE INNOCENT CRIMINALS 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRw-Hm3tUns 

 

i wake up feeling like i've aged a year
'cause i go to sleep in fear of the dawn
head full of dreams unclear
make the days seem twice as long

after all we've been through
i don't know how to say goodbye to you

passed by where we used to go
where i now go alone
everything we had to brave
i'm left here to face on my own

maybe tomorrow i can start anew
i don't know how to say goodbye to you

shattered and chained to our past
battered and too proud to ask
walked a razor's edge poisoned by degrees
create each other's voids fill each other's needs

my options are plenty
but my choices are few
i don't know how to say goodbye to you

"SPILLING FAITH"

BEN HARPER 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xE_kFn7d2NA 

 Things are looking up today
How long have I been looking down
Traded a blue sky today
For the cold hard ground

Don't let one day go to waste
I'm filling space
I'm spilling faith

Things are looking up today
I didn't have to look away
There's so much to be said for letting go
So much tomorrow only knows

Don't let one day go to waste
I'm filling space
I'm spilling faith
I'm filling space
I'm spilling faith
I'm filling space
I'm spilling faith

Today it all became so clear
Looked out my window not in my mirror
Make the book that is your life
Worth reading

Don't let one day go to waste
I'm filling space
I'm spilling faith

If we love long enough
We can get there from here

"WHAT COMES AFTER THE BLUES"

MAGNOLIA ELECTRIC Co.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-RVzJH0iJk 

 Now who was I, now who am I
Lord what have I done
Whistle blow down the B&O
Sounds like maybe someone’s time has come
What comes after the blues (x3)
After the blues
You see I nailed my guilt to the back of my eyes
So I see it now before the sun
Now who was I, now who am I
Lord what have I done
What comes after the blues, after the blues (x2)
Now Noah must have had a lot of room on the ark
For all of them broken hearts
Stay with me now old crimson pal
Pain like this will even outlive the dark
They come after the blues, come after the blues (x2)

"FARMER'S DAUGHTER"

 BEN & ELLEN HARPER

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5nf9dzVHuk 

 My daddy is a farmer, that makes me the farmer’s daughter
But it’s no joke we’re always broke, can’t live on dirt and water
Can’t live on dirt and water.

We can’t plant and we can’t grow. We can’t reap and we can’t sow
Don’t own the seed can’t plant our rows, it all belongs to Monsanto
All belongs to Monsanto.

Dupont, Dow and Monsanto, We are what we eat
They own the pollen own the seeds, own us from head to feet
Own the air we breath.

Sister shed her overalls, put on heels and skirt
City bound she fled the ground to strike her own pay dirt
Strike her own pay dirt

My brother donned a uniform, to keep us safe from harm
But terror is as terror does, the bank foreclosed our farm
Foreclosed the family farm.

Jesse James he robbed the banks, they shot that boy to death
Now the banks are robbing us we got nothing left,
we got nothing left,
we got nothing left.

"FACE"

THE LUYAS 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cq3d0C4zgU 

I thought something got, something for me
But nothing in jar, nothing in medicine
Looking for something that you trying to lose
Looking for something that you can do better than
I thought I knew...
I lean over and I thought of the ground
I wonder who's talking to
You time I'll..
I wonder if I'll fell for you ever around
You're soft to fall from the window feathers
When I thought of you...

Chorus:
I tried to lose my face
I tried to lose my face
I tried to lose my face
I tried to lose my face
I tried to lose my
Oh, oh, oh

I tried to ..the things I can see
I wonder what that would do to me
I wonder how true to ... that I should be
Looking for nothing to ask and to speak
I thought of you
Everyone's hearing my...

Chorus:
I tried to lose my face
I tried to lose my face
I tried to lose my face
I tried to lose my face
I tried to lose my
Oh, oh, oh

"FIFTY FIFTY"

THE LUYAS

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mZkbt7S4xM 

 

I don’t have those dreams
That you want to see
Ooo ooo ooo ooo
Dreams die, dreams die
Dreams die, dreams die
Asked my friend what he believes
He said: “Fifty fifty”
Ooo ooo ooo ooo
Dreams die, dreams die
Dreams die, dreams die

It’s a wild, it’s a wild, it’s a wild, it’s a wild
It’s a road
And you call, and you call, and you call, and you call
Til you go:
Dreams die, dreams die
Dreams die, dreams die

"IF YOU WANT TO SING OUT, SING OUT"

CAT STEVENS 

  No us perdeu la fantàstica pel·lícula "Harold and Maude" (1971) del director Hal Ashby, en la qual sonen temes de Cat Stevens com aquest.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hh-1Lag3BV8

Well, if you want to sing out, sing out
And if you want to be free, be free
'Cause there's a million things to be
You know that there are

And if you want to live high, live high
And if you want to live low, live low
'Cause there's a million ways to go
You know that there are

[Chorus:]
You can do what you want
The opportunity's on
And if you can find a new way
You can do it today
You can make it all true
And you can make it undo
you see ah ah ah
its easy ah ah ah
You only need to know

Well if you want to say yes, say yes
And if you want to say no, say no
'Cause there's a million ways to go
You know that there are

And if you want to be me, be me
And if you want to be you, be you
'Cause there's a million things to do
You know that there are

[Chorus]

Well, if you want to sing out, sing out
And if you want to be free, be free
'Cause there's a million things to be
You know that there are
You know that there are
You know that there are
You know that there are
You know that there are.

"WHERE DO THE CHILDREN PLAY?"

CAT STEVENS 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7a4DCxAi020 

 Well I think it's fine, building jumbo planes.
Or taking a ride on a cosmic train.
Switch on summer from a slot machine.
Get what you want to if you want, 'cause you can get anything.

I know we've come a long way,
We're changing day to day,
But tell me, where do the children play?

Well you roll on roads over fresh green grass.
For your lorryloads pumping petrol gas.
And you make them long, and you make them tough.
But they just go on and on, and it seems you can't get off.

Oh, I know we've come a long way,
We're changing day to day,
But tell me, where do the children play?

When you crack the sky, scrapers fill the air.
Will you keep on building higher
'til there's no more room up there?
Will you make us laugh, will you make us cry?
Will you tell us when to live, will you tell us when to die?

I know we've come a long way,
We're changing day to day,
But tell me, where do the children play?

"DON'T BE SHY"

CAT STEVENS 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RO0L2rBOC48 

 

Don't be shy just let your feelings roll on by
Don't wear fear or nobody will know you're there
Just lift your head, and let your feelings out instead
And don't be shy, just let your feeling roll on by
On by

You know love is better than a song
Love is where all of us belong
So don't be shy just let your feelings roll on by
Don't wear fear or nobody will know you're there
You're there

Don't be shy just let your feelings roll on by
Don't wear fear or nobody will know you're there
Just lift your head, and let your feelings out instead
And don't be shy, just let your feeling roll on by
On by, on by...
