"LOVE BLOWN DOWN"

ELBOW

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFftEC2lX9Q

Someone's staking out my house
So don't be sitting drunk
Outside my window

'cause when your love is love blown down
You must live with yourself

Someone's opening my mail
So don't be sending us it through the post

Someone's is tapping my phone you know?
So stop your crank calls telling me you love me

When your love is love blown down
You must live with yourself

'cause when your love is love blown down
You must sleep so your head can escape your heart.

"LONG WAR SHUFFLE"

ELBOW

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkGdbe5-prU

The times they are a changing back
You know the heat is rising
I heard a million knuckles crack
Is it so surprising?
I'm so sick of waiting
And I know you feel the same
I'm not getting any younger
And I know you feel the same
So everyone dance as if you didn't care
And everyone move, pretend it isn't there
Take a deep breath on leaving the floor
And lock all the doors
Its going to be a long, long war
I'm so sick of waiting
And I know you feel the same
I'm not getting any younger
But the soldiers are
So everyone dance as if you didn't care
And everyone move, pretend it isn't there
Take a deep breath on leaving the floor
And lock all the doors
Its going to be a long, long war
Long war, long war, long war
Again, again, again,again.

"THE TAKE OFF AND LANDING 

OF EVERYTHING"

ELBOW

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

You have the time-worn shimmer of tarantella on a Tuscan plain
Patiently listen as dull reminiscences fall from my jaws in a jumble again
You hold a lamp to my slumber
I resurface just to do a new number on you
You kiss the wrist of the hand that has twisted itself all into your hair
You close the blinds and doors behind me and clear all obstacles on the stair
You are an open book
I’m on the bathroom floor
Yours is an open door
I’m throwing ballast overboard
You are a genius teetering
Hurricane wild be calm as the deep
Every living thing needs watering
I miss loving you
Actually loving you
Words on my bedroom wall
Speak of my stone cold care
A prayer to the take off and landing of everything
Leaving your lips as we took to the sky
And a prayer to the take off and landing of everything
I’ll say for you and I will for all time
Wrote on my bedroom wall
Spoke of your deep true care
Over my shoulder and just as I leave
I see you slipping the world up your sleeve
Well take it and run
Go on
That’s why it’s there
In a prayer to the take off and landing of everything good.

"DON'T MIX YOUR DRINKS"

ELBOW

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78JT3z5flPU

Don't mix your drinks
Don't mix with him
It will kill you one day
Good advice, sound advice

Why can't you be like him, like me?
Look what you could achieve
I'm coming cap-in-hand, begging you to listen
Something draws me in
And I just can't christen it, just can't christen it

Don't mix your drinks
Don't mix with him
It will kill you one day
Good advice, sound advice

You need to be like this, like me
I'm coming cap-in-hand, begging you to listen
Something draws me in
And I just can't christen it, just can't christen it.

MARIA ÀNGELS ANGLADA

  (Vic, 1930-Figueres, 1999)

POESIES

"Als boscos màgics on d'infants jugàvem,

palaus efímers amb columnes d'hores,

no hi ha camins que t'hi puguin portar.

No cerquis els verds boixos, els vells roures

més enllà del teu cor, on són vivents

daurats per l'únic sol de la memòria."

------------

"Estranys remers et duien a les illes del somni.

Viva t'amortallaren amb blancs llençols d'oblit"

"IN THE YARD, 
BEHIND THE CHURCH"
EELS

  

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDh_yftd3fU

 In the yard, behind the church where
Butterflies and blackbirds search for
A safe place to rest the night away
We will go down to the brook and
Sit upon the overlook then
Forget about the troubles of the day

We will walk among the graves of
Men long dead with presidents' names and
Listen to the water flow softly by
I will kiss you on the lips now
And as the sky grows dark we'll strip down
And let the water wash away all lies

In the yard, behind the church where
Butterflies and blackbirds perch on
Gray stones as the garden's growing dim
We will lay down on the ground and
Put our cheeks against the dirt down
Where it no longer matters
Where you've been

"JENNIFER ECCLES"

EELS

Versió dels Eels (Mike Oliver Everett) del clàssic dels Hollies.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ypruig3InIE

White chalk, written on red brick
Our love, told in a heart
It's there, drawn in the playground
Love, kiss, hate or adore

I love Jennifer Eccles
I know that she loves me
I love Jennifer Eccles
I know that she loves me

I used to carry her satchels
She used to walk by my side
But when we got to her doorstep
Her dad wouldn't let me inside

One Monday morning
Found out I'd made the grade
Started me thinkin'
Had she done the same?

One Monday morning
Found out I'd made the grade
Started me thinkin'
Had she done the same?

I hope Jennifer Eccles
Is going to follow me there
Our love is bound to continue
Love, kiss, hate or adore, singin'

I love Jennifer Eccles
I know that she loves me
I love Jennifer Eccles
I know that she loves me

"JULIA"

THE BEATLES

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

Half of what I say is meaningless
But I say it just to reach you, Julia
Julia, Julia, oceanchild, calls me
So I sing a song of love, Julia
Julia, seashell eyes, windy smile, calls me
So I sing a song of love, Julia
Her hair of floating sky is shimmering, glimmering
In the sun
Julia, Julia, morning moon, touch me
So I sing a song of love, Julia
When I cannot sing my heart
I can only speak my mind, Julia
Julia, sleeping sand, silent cloud, touch me
So I sing a song of love, Julia
Hum hum hum hum... calls me
So I sing a song of love for Julia, Julia, Julia

"DEAR PRUDENCE"

THE BEATLES

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19E1JD_v9fI

Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful and so are you
Dear Prudence won't you come out to play

Dear Prudence open up your eyes
Dear Prudence see the sunny skies
The wind is low the birds will sing
That you are part of everything
Dear Prudence won't you open up your eyes?

Look around round
Look around round round
Look around

Dear Prudence let me see you smile
Dear Prudence like a little child
The clouds will be a daisy chain
So let me see you smile again
Dear Prudence won't you let me see you smile?

Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful and so are you
Dear Prudence won't you come out to play

"SAN FRANCISCAN NIGHTS"

THE ANIMALS

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hv0M5etXFA

This following program is dedicated to the city and people of
San Francisco, who may not know it but they are beautiful and so
is their city this is a very personal song, so if the viewer
cannot understand it particularly those of you who are European
residents save up all your bread and fly trans love airways to
San Francisco U.S.A., then maybe you'll understand the song, it
will be worth it, if not for the sake of this song but for the
sake of your own peace of mind.

Strobe lights beam create dreams
Walls move minds to do
On a warm San Franciscan night
Old child young child feel alright
On a warm San Franciscan night
Angels sing leather wings
Jeans of blue Harley Davidsons too
On a warm San Franciscan night
Old angels young angels feel alright
On a warm San Franciscan night.
I wasn't born there perhaps I'll die there
There's no place left to go, San Francisco.
Cop's face is filled with hate
Heavens above he's on a street called love
When will they even learn
Old cop young cop feel alright
On a warm San Franciscan night
The children are cool
They don't raise fools
It's an American dream
Includes Indians too.

"A GIRL NAMED SANDOZ"

THE ANIMALS

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_qRiePB6xE

Well, I met a girl called Sandoz
And she taught me many, many things
Good things, very good things, sweet things

I met her one sunny morning
It was hot but the snow lay on the ground
Strange things, very strange things, my mind has wings

Sandoz, Sandoz who taught me love
Sandoz, Sandoz heaven's above
They could all learn something from your mind
Yeah, baby, come on

She is very old, you may think she's young
One kiss from her, you know your time has come
Good times, for all time, Sandoz, Sandoz, Sandoz, Sandoz
