No som lluny,
hem enfilat cingles sense nom;
clavant els peus a la terra humida,
nedant als rius més emboscats.
Hem travessat llunes, encegats,
dormint sota firmaments particulars,
menjant tan sols quan l’atzar proveïa,
escoltant sense entendre
demanant sense rebre.
Per acabar observant, admirats,
com la pluja atura una gran ciutat.
"YOU'RE A BETTER MAN THAN I"
TERRY KNIGHT AND THE PACK
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mj3E8VPDCdI
Can you judge a man
By the way he wears his hair
Can you read his mind
By the clothes that he wears
Or can you see
A bad man by the tack on his tie
Well then
REFRAIN (3 times)
Mister you're a better man than I
Can you tell a wise man
By the way he speaks or spells
Is this more important
Than the stories that he tells
And call a man a fool
If for wealth he doesn't strive
Well then
REFRAIN (3 times)
You can kill a man
If your faith he doesn't hold
Say the color of his skin
Is the color of his soul
But can you say a man
For Queen and Country he must die
Well then
REFRAIN (4 times)
"AWAY FROM THE FAMILY"
JADE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyfo6-UrG0M
I don't mean harm, I don't mean wrong
But I love this house like the family
But the same old mirror, in the same old hall,
Shows old reflections of me
There's letters from across the sea, wish you could be here with me,
Photographs and magazines kept in boxes and tins
And things to pass the time away books to read no toys to play
Attics full of yesterday, where I pass my time today
I've got to get away from the family,
Though they say they love me
Got to find myself new company,
Go to do that just for me
I've got to get away from the family,
Though they say they love me
Got to find myself new company,
Go to do that just for me
Can't remember any other home, than the one I've lived in here
I can't remember any other street, than the one outside here
Same room same bed same chimney, the same pictures looking at me
Same curtains in the hallway, where we used to play
There's things to pass the time away books to read no toys to play
Attics full of yesterday, where I pass my time today
I've got to get away from the family,
Though they say they love me
Got to find myself new company,
Go to do that just for me
I've got to get away from the family,
Though they say they love me
Got to find myself new company,
Go to do that just for me
I've got to get away from the family,
Though they say they love me
Got to find myself new company,
Go to do that just for me
I've got to get away from the family,
Though they say they love me
Got to find myself new company,
Go to do that just for me
"REFLECTIONS ON A HARBOUR WALL"
JADE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dh81xLD5bn0
Cream filled sands corrugated by the ocean's hand
Took a walk down to the market street
Jumble sales and all the usual stalls
Passed a corner cafe where I sometimes like to eat
I like to sit and watch them load the ships
So I sit in the sun against the harbour wall
Made a necklace out of the shells of different kinds
Picked from the harvest that the tide had left behind
Reflections of a day nearly done
And I still wonder who has lost or won
Hear the shingle, hear the gulls sing
An overture that leaves me smiling
A daydream shaken by a sailor's laugh
And I smiled back though I tried not to
"MAYFLY"
JADE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvEU9WP0OAQ
Oh the mayfly, that swum the waters, has now opened its wings to the sky
It lifts its head up and in a short while, will sail the wind, oh by and by
It's opened its wings and caught the sunlight, it's opened its wings and caught the breeze
Oh such splendour and such colours shine like raindrops through its wings
It's left the flowers, it's left the lakeside and soars around the hawthorn tree
It spends the day in perfect splendour, unbeknown to you and me
Soon it's dying, the day is over, very soon without a sound
It will fall down love, to the ground love and die amongst the summer grass
Oh how can it be, that such a small thing, that never does a moment's harm
Should fall down love, to the ground love, never more to sing its song
It's falling down love, to the earth love, I hear its song across the wind
Oh the mayfly that sailed the wind love, has closed its wings to the sky
"RAVEN"
JADE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnSuJcDR3Yo
Sad eyed lady with your raven, there upon your shoulder
You have watched me for some time, though I am young you are older
Do not let a streak of fate that might now be waiting
Bind together that which should never have been created
Tell your raven, fly away, for soon we must be parted
Tell it to fly silently so neither of us notice
I am young, you are older, time it will not change
Strong though I am, I will crumble, only to be parted
I have given nothing to you, you nothing to me
And in the hours of the daytime, we both know it must be
I once was young, you are the same, now equal we will be
And in the distance, our black raven flies aimlessly
Aah...
Aah...
"AMONGST ANENOMES"
JADE
Sheep in the meadow, don't stray too far from the fields
Cows in the courtyard, you heed the farmer's call
Farmer's boy, you work hard while you're young
Hear me well, hear the song from the sea
Old black crow, beware the scarecrow
Too much rain, will drown young crops again
Hear me well, hear the song from the sea
Hear me well, hear the song from the sea
Sleep, has brought me to the sea
Here I sit amongst anemones
Here kind sir, some flowers from the sea
I, am here, amongst anemones
Wishing well, your pail is dry
Young lovers have stood by your side
Faithful dog, you please your master well
You follow where 'ere he tells
Hear me well, hear the song from the sea
Hear me well, hear the song from the sea
"TOMORROW MAY COME"
MAY BLITZ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JKaFlLHcQ8
Color blue from fire flames that burns within
Above somewhere, where no one knows and no one yet has been
There waits, but for what it waits, a vision strange and clear
An unknown space, complete around of shapes that are to be
Smoothness do I feel, purple dreams of velvet glows
Tomorrow may come
Beyond the edge that one can see colors do appear
Flashing blues, from a far off source, ultraviolet waves
Alone up here but not alone flying in it all
A cosmic dream, of truthful tales within a distant glow
Silken white and satin water, flowing through these eyes
Tomorrow may come
Tomorrow, tomorrow that may come
Tomorrow, that may come
Tomorrow that may, that may come
“Come into my parlor”
Said the Spider to the Fly
“We can spend an hour, watching the day go by
Bring your own joints of weed
We shall have all we need”
Sitting, shouted from the soft breezes side
“We shall laze in the sunny weather
Share the shade of the leaves together
And the laws of nature, we shall infide(l).“
“How can I be sure?” The Fly said consciously
“You’re a carnivore and surely will eat me
Trapped in your web so high, in silken threads that tied
I am far to fly to be trapped easily
The week days of my life have taught to me
Spiders would kill me, if they called to me
So I will decline your hospitality”

He said he found himself and gave away the things he called his own
He awoke and told his friend things he'd seen and heard but could not comprehend
And so taken back by what he had just said
He cried, "Oh Lord, am I alive or dead?"
He was shattered when he saw how everything's exactly as it seems
He then able to admit saw his thoughts drift into unimportant schemes
So he found himself a pawn to cop the score
Of all those games we play and then ignore
He wandered off alone to search for someone else to passively agree
He then felt no further need to hold it peacefully within was proof indeed
And he found himself a pawn to cop the score
Of all those games we play and then ignore
"RHYMES OF GOODBYE"
SCOTT WALKER (SCOTT ENGEL)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuiPwBZwkxs
I've come from far from chains,
From metal and stone,
From makeshift designs,
And seeking a star
To grab for the truth,
To keep myself warm,
I turn and it's gone,
You smile and it's born.
The rhymes of a woman's,
A river that never ends
The Rhymes of Dimension,
Surrounds us with fire and friends,
And roaring through darkness,
The Night children fly,
I still hear them singing the rhymes of goodbye
There's nothing within,
but within says a voice,
That's still my Empire,
And I've got a choice
Its healers of death,
It's still got a fire,
And I keep it burning,
With hands of desire
The bells of our senses,
Can cost us our pride,
Can toll out the boundaries,
That level our lives
Can slash like the sunlight,
Through shadows and cracks,
Our nakedness calling,
Our nakedness back
The rhyme of our passions,
Find beauty in loving love,
The rhyme of our madness,
Burn cities and push'n'shoves,
And roaring through darkness,
The Night children fly,
I still hear them singing the rhymes of goodbye
"BOY CHILD"
SCOTT WALKER (SCOTT ENGEL)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14PSE0FJoUo
You'll lose your way
A boy child rides upon your back
Take him away
Through mirrors dark and blessed with cracks
Through forgotten courtyards
Where you used to search for youth
Old gets a new life
Reach out you can touch it's true
He's not a shadow of shadows
Like you, you see
Hearts hold on holding
If you stay one, you'll stay free
Go seek the lady
Who will give, not take away
Naked with stillness
On the edge of dawn she stays
Night starts to empty
That's when her song begins
She'll make you happy
She'll take you deep within
Window lights for wanderers
Hide hard in your swollen eyes
Echoes of laughter
Hide in the cities thighs
Love catch these fragments
Swirling through the winds of night
What can it cost
To give a boy child back his sight
Extensions through dimensions
Leave you feeling cold and lame
Boy child mustn't tremble
'cos he came without a name
"THE SEVENTH SEAL"
SCOTT WALKER (SCOTT ENGEL)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6XPXC-AKZ0
Anybody seen a knight pass this way
I saw him playing chess with Death yesterday
His crusade was a search for God and they say
It's been a long way to carry on
Anybody hear of plague in this town
The town I've left behind was burned to the ground
A young girl on a stake her face framed in flames cried
I'm not a witch God knows my name
The knight he watched with fear
He needed to know
He ran where he might feel God's breath
And in the misty church
He knelt to confess
The face within the booth was Mr. Death
My life's a vain pursuit of meaningless smiles
Why can't God touch me with a sign
Perhaps there's no one there answered the booth
And Death hid within his cloak and smiled
This morning I played chess with Death said the knight
We played that he might grant me time
My bishop and my knight will shatter his flanks
And still I might feel God's heart in mine
And through confession's grille Death's laughter was heard
The knight cried No you've cheated me!
But still I'll find a way
We'll meet once again and once again
Continue to play
They met within the woods the knight his squire and friends
And Death said now the game shall end
The final move was made
The knight hung his head
And said you've won I've nothing left to play
The minstrel filled with visions sang to his love
To look against the stormy sky
The knight his squire and friends
Their hands held as one
Solemnly danced toward the dawn
His hourglass in his hand his scythe by his side
The master Death he leads them on
The rain will wash away the tears from their faces
And as the thunder cracked they were gone
