"A SUITE FOR DYING LOVE"
MARK LANEGAN 




Can't write a suite for dying love
Can't find the trigger for the gun oh yeah
So tired of holding up the sky
I'm twenty stories high oh yeah
Why don't you give me one more kiss
I'm coming down
I can't make nothing last
Coming down

I wanted to say goodbye before my train rolled out
Went walking away with a mouthful of rain
Gotta get back and see my friends again
Just a little ashamed they gotta see me this way
Galaxies should fall
I'm coming down
I can't make nothing last
Coming down

 
"A DAY IN THE LIFE"
THE BEATLES 



 I read the news today, oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well, I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph

He blew his mind out in a car;
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords

I saw a film today, oh boy;
The English army had just won the war
A crowd of people turned away
But I just had to look
Having read the book

I'd love to turn you on

Woke up, fell out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up, I noticed I was late

Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream

Ah I read the news today, oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall

I'd love to turn you on

"THE GOOD TIMES ARE COMING"
CASS ELLIOT 



 I'm not about to come unhinged
When everything goes wrong
A fact is something to be faced
But not for very long

The good times are coming
They'll be comin' real soon
And I'm not just pitchin' pennies at the moon

The good times are coming
When they come, I'll be there
With my both feet firmly planted in the air

There's gonna be a place for us
A place where we belong
To stand outside just looking in
Has got to be all wrong

The good times are coming
They'll be comin' real soon
And I'm not just pitchin' pennies at the moon
The good times are coming
When they come, I'll be there
With my both feet firmly planted way up there
In the air.

"GOD"
JOHN LENNON 



 God is a Concept by which we measure our pain
I'll say it again
God is a Concept by which we measure our pain

I don't believe in magic
I don't believe in I-ching
I don't believe in Bible
I don't believe in Tarot
I don't believe in Hitler
I don't believe in Jesus
I don't believe in Kennedy
I don't believe in Buddha
I don't believe in Mantra
I don't believe in Gita
I don't believe in Yoga
I don't believe in Kings
I don't believe in Elvis
I don't believe in Zimmerman
I don't believe in Beatles

I just believe in me, Yoko and me, and that's reality

The dream is over
What can I say?
The dream is over
Yesterday
I was the dreamweaver
But now I'm reborn
I was the walrus
But now I'm John
And so, dear friends,
You'll just have to carry on
The dream is over
"LOOK AT ME"
JOHN LENNON 



 Look at me
what am I supposed to be?
what am I supposed to be?
Look at me
what am I supposed to be?
what am I supposed to be?
Look at me
Oh My Love Oh My Love

Here I am
what am I supposed to do?
what am I supposed to do?
Here I am
What can I do for you?
What can I do for you?
Here I am
Oh My Love Oh My Love
Look at me,Oh Please Look at me,My Love
here I am-Oh My Love

Who am I?
Nobody knows but me
Nobody knows but me
Who am I?
Nobody else can see
Just you and me
Who are we
Oh My Love Oh My Love

"BLOODSUCKER"
KEVIN MORBY 



 I am trying to make peace with where I am
Blood on the wall with a knife stuck to my hand
I am trying to make peace inside today
I am trying but it's not working

I am trying to make peace inside a war
It's been so long I don't know what we're fighting for
I am trying to make peace but not at all
Sent to mud from the blood
Sent to mud from the blood

I am trying to make peace with where you are
So very near my dear but oh so very far
A million miles while you're one step to my left
All is gone, all is left
All is gone, nothing left

And it's a bloodsucker
And it's a bloodsucker oh
And it's a bloodsucker

There is a piece hidden deep inside my mind
It's hard to reach but I see it from time to time
There is my mother, I am cradled in her arms
I am free, I am safe from all that harms
I am free from where you are

I am trying to make peace inside today
Blood on the floor with a knife tied to my name
I am trying to make peace with who I am
An honest man, an honest man
An honest man, an honest man

And it's a bloodsucker
And it's a bloodsucker oh
And it's a bloodsucker
Bloodsucker
Bloodsucker
Bloodsucker
 
IF...
RUDYARD KIPLING


If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

Traducció al català d'en Francesc Parcerisas:

Si...

Si pots mantenir el cap assenyat quan al voltant
tothom el perd, fent que en siguis el responsable;
si pots confiar en tu quan tots dubten de tu,
deixant un lloc, també, per als seus dubtes;
si pots esperar i no cansar-te de l'espera,
o no mentir encara que et menteixin,
o no odiar encara que t'odïin,
sense donar-te fums, ni parlar en to sapiencial; 

si pots somniar -sense fer que els somnis et dominin;
si pots pensar -sense fer una fi dels pensaments;
si pots enfrontar-te al Triomf i a la Catàstrofe
i tractar igual aquests dos impostors;
si pots suportar de sentir la veritat que has dit,
tergirversada per bergants per enxampar-hi els necis,
o pots contemplar, trencat, allò a què has dedicat la vida,
i ajupir-te i bastir-ho de bell nou amb eines velles;

si pots fer una pila de tots els guanys
i jugar-te-la tota a una sola carta,
i perdre, i recomençar de zero un altre cop
sense dir mai res del que has perdut;
si pots forçar el cor, els nervis, els tendons
a servir-te quan ja no són, com eren, forts,
per resistir quan en tu ja no hi ha res
llevat la Voluntat que els diu: ''Seguiu!''

Si pots parlar amb les gents i ser virtuós,
o passejar amb Reis i tocar de peus a terra,
si tots compten amb tu, i ningú no hi compta massa;
si pots omplir el minut que no perdona
amb seixanta segons que valguin el camí recorregut,
teva és la Terra i tot el que ella té
i, encara més, arribaràs, fill meu, a ser un Home
