wish you were here - matchbook romance

Shallow it seems but I need you here
From me to you, I know I can’t feel a thing
Oh, sing me to sleep
I wont fight it when you leave

Oh, I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here, oh.

Desperate it seems but I can’t breathe
Are you real?
Are you real?
I can’t feel a thing
And this machine won’t stop
Be here when I wake
Sing me to sleep
I wont fight it when you leave
Sing me to sleep
I wont fight it…

Oh, I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here

Knocks me off my feet - Luther Vandross


I see us in the park strolling the summer days
Of imaginings in my head
And words from our hearts
Told only to the wind of even
Without being said

I don't want to bore you with my troubles
But there's something bout your love
That makes me weak and knocks me off my feet

There's something bout your love
That makes me weak and knocks me off my feet
Oh baby said you knock me off my feet

I don't to bore you with it
Oh But I love you I love you I love you
I don't want to bore you with it
Oh But I love you I love you I love you

More and more
We lay beneath the stars
Under a lovers tree that's seen
Through the eyes of my mind

I reach out for the part
Of me that lives in you baby
That only our two hearts can find

But I don't want to bore you with
The troubles

But there's something bout your love
That makes me weak and knocks me off my feet

There's something bout your love
That makes me weak and knocks me off my feet
Oh baby said you knock me off my feet

I don't to bore you with it
Oh But I love you I don't to bore you with it
Oh But I love you I love you I love you
I don't want to bore you with it
Oh But I love you I love you I love you

Al Green Call Me
Call me call me call me
What a beautiful time we had together
Now it's gettin' late and we must leave each other
Just remember the time we had
And how right I tried to be
It's all in a day's work

Call me
Losing your love, acting foolishly
Go on and take your time 'cause you're only losing me
Love is a long ways from here
Tell you it's all in the way you feel
If your love is real

Come to me
Call me call me call me come back home
The best thing I can do is give back your love
Let you go away feelin' free as a dove
If you find you're a long ways from home
And somebody's doing you wrong
Just call on me baby
And come back home

Call me call me call me
Come back home

brand new - millstone

I used to be such a burning example,
I used to be so original.
I used to care, I was being careful.
Made sure I showed it to those that I love.

I used to sleep without a single stir,
'Cause I was about my father's work.

Well Take me out tonight,
The ship of fools I'm on will sink.
A millstone around my neck,
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.

I used to pray a God was listening.
I used to make my parents proud.
I was the glue that kept my friends together,
Now they don't talk and we don't go out.

I used to know the name of every person I kissed.
Now I made this bed and I can't fall asleep in it.

Take me out tonight,
The ship of fools I'm on will sink.
A millstone around my neck,
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.

Throw me that lifeline,
The ship of fools I'm on will sink.
A millstone around my neck
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.

Never hit the brakes
there's no time to save him,
he's run out in the street
anybody know his name?
I think I recognize him
sure it's him?
... mistake

Woah.

So take me out tonight.
The ship of fools I'm on will sink.
A millstone around my neck.
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.

here you go


Could you tell me the next time that you're choking?
'Cause I'll rush right over
to shove some dirt right down your throat
It's nothing I have against you
You're just a creep and
you can't remember the last five years
What's a bond if it dissolves in water?
I took a piss that lasted longer
than you and your manipulations
I called my mom last night
She said, "Sweetie, you don't need someone
who's more fleeting than fall"
'Cause don't you love those leaves?
Don't you wish the orange stayed forever
And Crickets sang in the night all through winter?"
And I thought, slow down, Chris
Think of all the time this jerk
has fucked you up and left you down
And hey, I choose my company
by the beating of their hearts
Not the swelling of their heads
Besides, I'd rather forget the days we spent
Than try to stay afloat in shallow water.

nice these are better, though:

The last time that I saw you, August of '99,
I should've had my hammer and a few rusty spikes
to nail you on a wall and use bottles to catch your blood
and display you for the neighbors so they know your time had come.
And I'd drink your blood and feel it dripping down my throat
as it heads for my heart.
And as your body sags and the stench rises in vain,
the people on the street are collecting in dismay.
Before your eyes your head lifts towards the sky
and that's the last thing they'll remember of you.
And I'd drink your blood and feel it dripping down my throat
as it heads for my heart.
You've become a ghost.
You're floating somewhere in between
the waking world and a landscape of dreams.
Well it's nothing but dying.
You've got a grenade stuck in your teeth and you're pulling at the pin.
You're an illusion, just a shadow flickering underneath the sun.
And I'd drink your blood and feel it dripping down my throat
as it heads for my heart.

Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Petite Marie, je parle de toi
Parce qu'avec ta petite voix
Tes petites manies, tu as versé sur ma vie
Des milliers de roses
Petite furie, je me bats pour toi
Pour que dans dix mille ans de ça
On se retrouve à l'abri, sous un ciel aussi joli
Que des milliers de roses
Je viens du ciel et les étoiles entre elles
Ne parlent que de toi
D'un musicien qui fait jouer ses mains
Sur un morceau de bois
De leur amour plus bleu que le ciel autour
Petite Marie, je t'attends transi
Sous une tuile de ton toit
Le vent de la nuit froide me renvoie la ballade
Que j'avais écrite pour toi
Petite furie, tu dis que la vie
C'est une bague à chaque doigt
Au soleil de Floride, moi mes poches sont vides
Et mes yeux pleurent de froid
Je viens du ciel et les étoiles entre elles
Ne parlent que de toi
D'un musicien qui fait jouer ses mains
Sur un morceau de bois
De leur amour plus bleu que le ciel autour
Dans la pénombre de ta rue
Petite Marie, m'entends-tu ?
Je n'attends plus que toi pour partir...
Dans la pénombre de ta rue
Petite Marie, m'entends-tu ?
Je n'attends plus que toi pour partir...
Je viens du ciel et les étoiles entre elles
Ne parlent que de toi
D'un musicien qui fait jouer ses mains
Sur un morceau de bois
De leur amour plus bleu que le ciel autour

Google translation
Francis Cabrel to a friend Words and Music: Francis Cabrel 1977 “walls of dust” Small Marie,
I speak about you
Because with your small voice
Your small manias, you poured on my life
Thousands of roses
Small fury, I fight for you
So that in ten thousand years of that
One finds oneself with the shelter,
under such a pretty sky
That thousands of roses
I come from the sky
and stars between them
Speak only about you
Of a musician who plays his hands
On a piece of wood
Of their love more blue
than the sky around

Small Marie, I await you stiff
Under a tile of your roof
The wind of the cold night
returns me the ballade
That I had written for you

Small fury, you say that the life
It is a ring with each finger
With the sun of Florida,
me my pockets are empty
And my eyes cry of cold

I come from the sky
and stars between them
Speak only about you
Of a musician who plays his hands
On a piece of wood
Of their love more blue than the sky around

In the half-light of your street
Small Marie, do you hear me?
I await nothing any more but you to leave…

In the half-light of your street
Small Marie, do you hear me?
I await nothing any more but you to leave…

I come from the sky
and stars between them
Speak only about you
Of a musician who plays his hands
On a piece of wood
Of their love more blue than the sky around

kudos for the band!

Let me take this awkward saw
And run it against your thighs
Cut some flesh away
I'll carry this piece of you with me
Because all I can say tonight
is that I hate you
But it would be all right
If we could see each other sometime
If I could somehow make you mine
And if not I'll take my rusty spoons
And dig out your blue eyes
I'll swallow them down to my colon
They're gonna burn like hell tonight
Because you're beautiful
Just not on the inside
Light comes from within
And your beaming eyes don't seem so bright
My heart is on the floor
Why don't you step on it?
When I think of all the things you've done
Boardwalks and breaking waves
Made our Saturdays
I'd buy you lemonade right now
if you were here
But then I'd throw it in your face
And I'd listen to you cry
And I'd remember how I miss
our nights under ocean skies
You and I are like when fire
and the ocean floor collide.

Well a person can work up a mean mean thirst
after a hard day of nothin' much at all
Summer's passed, it's too late to cut the grass
There ain't much to rake anyway in the fall

And sometimes I just ain't in the mood
to take my place in back with the loudmouths
You're like a picture on the fridge that's never stocked with food
I used to live at home, now I stay at the house

And everybody wants to be special here
They call your name out loud and clear
Here comes a regular
Call out your name
Here comes a regular
Am I the only one here today?

Well a drinkin' buddy that's bound to another town
Once the police made you go away
And even if you're in the arms of someone's baby now
I'll take a great big whiskey to ya anyway

Everybody wants to be someone's here
Someone's gonna show up, never fear
'cause here comes a regular
Call out your name
Here comes a regular
Am I the only one who feels ashamed?

Kneeling alongside old Sad Eyes
He says opportunity knocks once then the door slams shut
All I know is I'm sick of everything that my money can buy
The fool who wastes his life, God rest his guts

First the lights, then the collar goes up, and the wind begins to blow
Turn your back on a pay-you-back, last call
First the glass, then the leaves that pass, then comes the snow
Ain't much to rake anyway in the fall

Everything, everything, everything, everything..
In its right place
In its right place
In its right place
Right place

Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon
Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon
Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon
Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon

Everything, everything, everything..
In its right place
In its right place
Right place

There are two colours in my head
There are two colours in my head
What was that you tried to say?
What was that you tried to say?
Tried to say.. tried to say..
To say.. to say.. to say...

Everything, everything, everything..
Everything in its right place



Radiohead - Everything in it's right place

Roxy Music - Avalon


Now the party´s over
I´m so tired
Then I see you coming
Out of nowhere
Much communication in a motion
Without conversation or a notion
Avalon
When the samba takes you
Out of nowhere
And the backgrounds fading
Out of focus
Yes the picture changing
Every moment
And your destination
You don´t know it
Avalon
When you bossa nova
There´s no holding
Would you have me dancing
Out of nowhere
Avalon

I'm in Minnesota again for the winter
I'm in Minnesota again for the winter
I didn't come for ice fishing
I didn't come for duck hunting
I'm not scandinavian or in search of Paul Bunyon
I came for the tapir
I came for the tapeworm
but I came to get better

I'm in Minnesota again for the winter
the thought of 10,000 lakes makes me feel smaller
I didn't come for ice fishing
I didn't come for duck hunting
I'm not scandinavian or in search of Paul Bunyon
I'm no fan of the vikings
or subzero windchills
drifts bigger than buildings
or running on treadmills
but I'm optimistic
but I'm optimistic
cause I'm feeling lucky

I'm in Minnesota again for the winter
the thought of 10,000 lakes makes me feel smaller
the thought of 10,000 lakes makes me feel...
well, it makes me feel well again

close ur eyes... i'm gonna cover yo ass with this sheet!

Gracias Por Pensar En Mi

Hoy mi tristeza no es pasajera
Tengo fiebre de la verdadera Y cuando llegue la noche
Cada estrella paracera una lagrima

No me digas nada

Qusiera ser como todos
Pasar feliz por la vida
O fingir que estoy siempre bien
Ver el color de cosas con humor

No me digas nada

Que lo malo siempre pasa
El futuro sera bueno Todo pasa

Cuando todo esta perdido
Siempre queda una salida
Cuando todo esta perdido
Siempre brilla una luz

Manana es otro dia mejor
Pero hoy, porque me siento asi?
Baja del cielo un angel triste cerca
de mi y esta fiebre que no cesa y mi sonrisa se seca

Cuando todo esta perdido...No me digas nada

Mirame en silencio Y muchas gracias por pensar en mi.

(when all is lost, say nothing to me.
look at me in silence
and thank you for thinking of me)
