[Q2.2/o1] Suede



- EVERYTHING WILL FLOW -


Watch the early morning sun
drip like blood from the day
See the busy people run
so many games to play
See the blue suburban dream
under the jet plane sky
Sleep away and dream a dream
Life is just a lullaby

Oh and everything will flow
Oh you know everything will flow
Oh...

Watch the day begin again
Whispering into the night
See the pretty people play
Hurrying under the light
A million cars, a million trains,
Under the jet plane sky
Nothing lost and nothing gained
Life is just a lullaby

Oh, and everything will flow
Oh, I said everything will flow
Oh, you know everything will flow
Oh...

Oh, and everything will flow
Oh, you know everything will flow
Oh...

The neon lights in the night tonight
will say "everything will flow"
The stars that shine in the open sky
will say "everything will flow"
The lovers kissed with an openness
will say "everything will flow"
The cars parked in the hypermarket
know "everything will flow"

[Q3.1/o1] Noir Désir



- LE VENT NOUS PORTERA -


Je n'ai pas peur de la route
Faudrait voir, faut qu'on y goûte
Des méandres au creux des reins
Et tout ira bien

Le vent l'emportera

Ton message à la grande ourse
Et la trajectoire de la course
A l'instantané de velours
Même s'il ne sert à rien

Le vent l'emportera
Tout disparaîtra
Le vent nous portera

La caresse et la mitraille
Cette plaie qui nous tiraille
Le palais des autres jours
D'hier et demain

Le vent les portera

Génétique en bandoulière
Des chromosomes dans l'atmosphère
Des taxis pour les galaxies
Et mon tapis volant lui

Le vent l'emportera
Tout disparaîtra
Le vent nous portera

Ce parfum de nos années mortes
Ceux qui peuvent frapper à ta porte
Infinité de destin
On en pose un, qu'est-ce qu'on en retient?

Le vent l'emportera

Pendant que la marée monte
Et que chacun refait ses comptes
J'emmène au creux de mon ombre
Des poussières de toi

Le vent les portera
Tout disparaîtra
Le vent nous portera

- DANS LA MERCO BENZ -


Petite princesse
Ma beauté, ma promesse
Ma petite faiblesse
Ma plus belle histoire de fesses
Dans ma mercedes
C'est de l'espoir que je caresse
Souvenir suprême de mon plus beau problème
Dans ton abdomen, tout nouveau spécimen
Joue à la crème
C'est de l'espoir que je promène

{x4:}
Mon amour hélas
Le temps passe

Mon amour hélas

Petite princesse
C'est pas l'heure de la grand-messe
Charmante hôtesse
Qu'as-tu fait de ta jeunesse ?
Dans la Merco Benz
C'est de l'espoir que je caresse

Petite connasse
Pourquoi tu fais ta radasse
Petite pétasse
Qui montre rien en surface
Qui veut qu'on l'embrasse encore
L'embrasse encore

{x4:}
Mon amour hélas
Le temps passe

Le temps passe
Mon amour hélas
Mon amour hélas
Le temps passe

[Q2.2/o1] Gabriel, O Pensador



-2,3,4,5 Meia 7,8-


Fim de semana chegando e o coitado tá no osso
Mas acaba de encontrar a solução..
Coloca um caderninho no bolso
Apanha umas fichas e corre pró orelhão.
É o seu velho caderninho de telefone com o nome e o
número de um monte de mulher.
E ele vai ligar pra todas até conseguir
Chamar uma gata pra sair, dar um rolé..

234 5meia 78! Tá na hora de molhar o biscoito!
Eu tou no osso mas eu no me canso
Ta na hora de afogar o ganso! (2X)

Letra A, vamos começar:
- Alô, por favor, a Ana Maria está?
- (Ela saiu com o namorado, quer deixar recado?)
- Não obrigado, deixa pra lá!

Letra B, vou ligar pra essa Bianca,
Tem cara de carranca, mas dá pra dar o bote..
Desligou na minha cara, que tristeza!
Chamei ela de princesa e ela pensou que fosse trote..

Que se dane! É até melhor assim..
Eu vou ligar pra Dani que ela é gamadinha em mim..
- Oi Danizinha lembra do "animal"?!
- (Não conheço ninguém com esse nome. Tchau!)

Deve 'tar com amnésia! Vou pra letra E:
2-bola-gato-meia-9-bola-sete, é a bola da vez, Elizabeth.
Dizem as más línguas que ela boa de...
- (Alô?)
- Alô, a Beth está?
- (Tá, mas não pode falar, ela tá de boca cheia. E eu tô comendo, rapaz!)
..Que azar! Liguei na hora errada.
A hora da refeição é uma hora sagrada..

Meu caderninho de telefone parece um cardápio.
E faz um tempo que eu não como nada!

234 5meia 78! Tá na hora de molhar o biscoito!
Eu tou no osso mas eu não me canso
Ta na hora de afogar o ganso! (2X)

Letra F. Quem no arrisca não petisca.
- Alô, é da casa da Francisca?
- (Ela se mudou, casou com um delegado de polícia. Quer o número?)
- ..Tô fora,risquei da minha lista!

Há muito tempo eu conheci a Dona Guta,
uma coroa enxuta, como será que ela tá?
- (Dona Guta? Vou chamar..)
- (Vóvó!.. Telefone!..)
- (Heeein?..)
..Achei melhor desligar!..
- (Alô?..)

Tentei o H, o I e o J..
E até agora não arrumei uma.. gata!
L, M, N, O..
A cada letra que passa eu me sinto mais só!
P, Q, R, S..O.S.! Socorro!! Já tou na letra X!

Meu caderninho de telefone já tá perto do fim,
E eu tô longe de um final feliz!

234 5meia 78! Tá na hora de molhar o biscoito!
Eu tou no osso mas eu não me canso
Ta na hora de afogar o ganso! (2X)

Ainda falta a letra Z.
Mas acabaram as fichas, o que é que eu vou fazer?
Disque-Sex? Ah, qualé?!..
Chega de conversa, o que eu quero é uma mulher!

Já sei, vou ligar pró 102, O disque informações,
não há nada de errado nisso!
- (Informações, Creusa, pois não?)
- Só queria uma informação: Pode ser ou tá difcil?
- (Queira desculpar, mas o número referente
a este nome não consta no cadastro.)


Vou ligar prá Zulmira, mas nem adianta.
Ela nunca dá mole pra ninguém!
Mas eu já levei um fora do alfabeto inteiro,
o que é que tem levar um 'não' dela também?
- Alô Zulmira, vai faz o quê, hoje?
- (Ah não sei, vamos num cinema?)
Quando a esmola é demais, o santo desconfia,
essa menina deve 'tar com algum problema..

Chegando no local que ela escolheu:
Não-sei-o-que-lá-do-reino-de-Deus..
Olha o nome do filme: "Jesus Cristo é o Senhor!"
- É Comédia?
- (Não é filme, o cinema acabou, virou igreja evangélica.
E eu só te trouxe aqui pra você comprar pra mim uma
vaga no céu!)


- Ah irmã, deixa disso! Minha grana só dá
pra te levar pra ir rezar lá num motel.
- (Ai Senhor, olha onde eu vim parar!)
- Ah, relaxa meu amor! Ajoelhou... Então vai ter que rezar!

234 5meia 78! Tá na hora de molhar o biscoito!
Eu tou no osso mas eu não me canso
Ta na hora de afogar o ganso! (2X)

- (Aaiii, tentação do capeta!)
- Cala a boca mulher! Vem fazer um "canguru perneta"

234 5meia 78! Tá na hora de molhar o biscoito!
Eu tou no osso mas eu não me canso
Ta na hora de afogar o ganso! (5X..)

- FLUTUO -


Flutuo
Consigo deslindar o meu gosto sem esforço
Balanço é o que a maré me dá
E eu não contesto
O meu destino está fora de mim
Eu aceito
Sou eu despida de medos e culpas
Confesso

Hoje eu vou fingir
Que não vou voltar
Despeço-me do que mais quero
Só para não te ouvir dizer
Que as coisas vão mudar
Amanhã

Flutuo
Consigo deslindar o meu gosto sem esforço
Balanço é o que a maré me dá
E eu não contesto
Amanhã pensar nisso sempre me dá mais jeito
Fazer de mim Pretérito Mais Que Perfeito.

Hoje eu vou fingir
Que não vou voltar
Despeço-me do que mais quero
Só para não te ouvir dizer
Que as coisas vão mudar
Amanhã
Amanhã

Hoje eu vou fugir
Para não me dar a vontade de ser tua
Só para não me ouvir dizer
Que as coisas vão mudar
Amanhã
Amanhã
Amanhã...

- BENDITA LA LUZ - (Com Juan Luis Guerra)


Bendito el lugar, y el motivo de estar ahí,
Bendita la coincidencia,
Bendito el reloj, que nos puso puntual ahí,
Bendita sea tu, presencia.

Bendito Dios por encontrarnos, en el camino,
Y de quitarme esta soledad, de mi destino.

Bendita la luz, bendita la luz de tu mirada,
Bendita la luz, bendita la luz de tu mirada,
Desde el alma.

Bendito ojos, que me esquivaban,
Simulaban desde que me ignoraban,
Y de repente, sostienes la mirada.

Bendita Dios por encontrarnos, en el camino,
Y de quitarme esta soledad, de mi destino.

Bendita la luz, bendita la luz de tu mirada,
Bendita la luz, bendita la luz de tu mirada, oh.

Gloria divina, diste suerte de buen tino,
Y de encontrarte justo ahí, en medio del camino,
Gloria al cielo de encontrarte ahora,
Llevarte mi soledad, y coincidir en mi destino,
En el mismo destino.

Bendita la luz, bendita la luz de tu mirada,
Bendita la luz, bendita la luz de tu mirada,
Bendita mirada,
Bendita mirada desde el alma, tu mirada,
Bendita, bendita, bendita mirada,
Bendita tu alma y bendita tu luz.

Tu mirada, oh, oh, oh,
Digo es tan bendita tu luz, amor, amor,
Bendito el reloj y bendito el lugar,
Benditos tus besos cerquita del mar,
Y tu mirada, amor, amor,
Que bendita tú mirada, tu mirada amor

- BORN TO PLEASE -

We're standing
We're standing
You call that gone?
I'm standing on the firmest ground ever invented
Firm ground I invented
You're building
Your building
The big door is closing
Came home from work and your house was missing
Told ourselves but we weren't listening

Do you remember the one who took 'Place in the Sun' from you?
I know you do
He had a heart of tin
And this amazing desire!
The face of a sphinx that smiled
Spit in the lock you'll find the knob will turn for you
In that golden hotel we can live in the hallway
All of the bedrooms fold into the Perfect Chair

Did you fall in love with someone?
Did you trade "out all night" for some strange sun?
Weren't you the one...
Fall back in love with someone?

Did you fall in line for someone?
Back down the same road that you came here from
Weren't you the one
That told me not to
Move around but never through?
That's the only thing you ever do

Out on the wall
A hand had begun writing
Everybody understood
That it didn't mean a thing
I'll pay it back
I will pay it all back to you
You only have to ask me to

Did you fall in love with someone?
Did you "give up on that" for some strange sun?
Weren't you the one...
Fall back in love with someone?

Did you fall in line for someone?
Back down the same road that you came here from
Weren't you the one
That told me not to
Move around but never through?
That's the only thing we ever do

- TONIGHT THE STREETS ARE OURS -


Do you know why you got feelings in your heart?
Don’t let fear of feeling fool you
What you see sets you apart
And there’s nothing here to bind you
It’s no way for life to start

Do you know that tonight the streets are ours
Tonight the streets are ours
These lights in our hearts they tell no lies

Those people they got nothing in their souls
And they make our TV’s blind us
From our vision and our goals
Oh the trigger of time it tricks you
So you have no way to grow

But do you know that tonight the streets are ours
Tonight the streets are ours
These lights in our hearts they tell no lies
And no one else can haunt me
The way that you can haunt me
I need to know you want me
I couldn’t be without you
And the light that shines around you
No nothing ever mattered more than not doubting
That tonight the streets are ours

Do you know how to kill loneliness at last?
Oh there’s so much there to heal dear
And make tear stains of the past

But do you know that tonight the streets are ours
Tonight the streets are ours
These lights in our street are ours
Tonight the streets are ours
These lights in our hearts they tell no lies

- NO REASON TO CRY OUT YOUR EYES-


The brake lights
Are really quite lovely
Thousands of souls
All stopping together

On the highway tonight
There's no reason to cry out your eyes

The city
starts fading behind us
Thousands of souls all wishing
Things were better

Sadness
is waiting to happen
for people like us
not sure where we're going

watching the fading
watch everything go by.

Sadness
Is all that ever happens
But we have our eyes
Set dead on the ocean

- POR QUE NO SER AMIGOS -


¿Qué es lo que pasa?
¿Estamos locos o qué?
¿Qué es esta farsa?
Dime, ¿quién engaña a quién?
¿Quién se han creido que somos,
para tratarnos asi?
Sólo se que asi no se puede seguir...

Hay muchas formas para hacerse escuchar,
muchas personas que merecemos la paz,
¿Por qué odiar al diferente,
si no es como los demas?
Cuando todos somos gente nada mas.

¿Por qué no ser amigos,
estar unidos,
vivir sin miedo y en libertad!
¿Por qué no dar la mano,
ser como hermanos,
por qué no intentamos vivir en paz?
¿Por qué no ser amigos,
estar unidos,
contar conmigo en lo que yo os pueda ayudar,
se puede hacer,
trabajando juntos se conseguira.

Y yo no comprendo esta mierda de sociedad,
nunca estoy de acuerdo con los que quieren gobernar.
Que se metan sus mentiras por donde les puedan caber,
pero nosotros tenemos aun mucho que hacer.

¿Por qué no ser amigos,
estar unidos,
vivir sin miedo y en libertad!
¿Por qué no dar la mano,
ser como hermanos,
por qué no intentamos vivir en paz?
¿Por qué no ser amigos,
estar unidos,
contar conmigo en lo que yo os pueda ayudar,
se puede hacer,
con voluntad,
empezando por amar,
y respetar a los demas.

¿Por qué no ser amigos,

Well, I got us on a highway and I got us in a car
got us going faster than we've ever gone before
I got us on a highway and I got us in a car
got us going faster than we've ever gone before

and I know it ain't gonna last
and I know it ain't gonna last

they explode like two bugs on glass

far above the ocean, deep under the sea
there's a river running dry because of you and me
far above the ocean, deep under the sea

and I know it ain't gonna last

- HEAL THE WORLD -


Intro:
Think about the generations and to say we want to make it a better
world for our children and our children's children. So that they know
it's a better world for them; and think if they can make it a better
place.



There's a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be much
Brighter than tomorrow.
And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel
There's no hurt or sorrow.
There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space, make a better place.

Chorus:
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for
You and for me.


If you want to know why
There's a love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares for joyful giving.
If we try we shall see
In this bliss we cannot feel
Fear or dread
We stop existing and start living
Then it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
Make a better world, make a better world.

Chorus:
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race.
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for
You and for me.

Bridge:
And the dream we would conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth, crucify it's soul
Though it's plain to see, this world is heavenly
Be God's glow.


We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart I feel
You are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together we'll cry happy tears
See the nations turn
Their swords into plowshares
We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space to make a better place.

Chorus:
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for
You and for me.

Refrain (2x)


There are people dying if you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me.
There are people dying if you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me.

We'll aim for your heart when the night comes
And we'll bring you love

- NORTH POINT - (Voz: Anita Hegerland)


Have you ever been to North Point
To spend your time and pray?
The prison walls are dark and cold and grey.
The writing on the wall at North Point
Speaks to a silent room.
They shut the bars down, leave you to the gloom.

[ Chorus ]

How could we get any closer?
So high is the wire and the guards won't listen,
They won't believe me.
And then it all came back.
Somewhere far above has a new day risen?
Way beyond the searchlight,
Comes alive, comes alive.

Then on a bright day at North Point
The gate was open wide.
They chanced to look at what was inside.
There were a million stars at North Point,
And from the silent tomb,
They took it to the heart and left for the moon.

[ Repeat Chorus ]

Have you ever been to North Point
To spend your time and pray?

Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
Still a little hard to say what's going on

Still a little bit of your ghost your witness
Still a little BIT of your face I haven't kissed
You step a little closer EACH DAY
Still I can't SAY what's going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball

Still a little bit of your song in my ear
Still a little bit of your words I long to hear
You step a little closer TO ME
So close that I can't see what's going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannon

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to cry
So come on courage!
Teach me to be shy
'Cause it's not hard to fall
And I don't WANNA scare her
It's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna lose
It's not hard to grow
When you know that you just don't know

- AQUARELA -


Numa folha qualquer eu desenho um sol amarelo
E com cinco ou seis retas é fácil fazer um castelo
Corro o lápis em torno da mão e me dou uma luva
E se faço chover com dois riscos tenho um guarda-chuva
Se um pinguinho de tinta cai num pedacinho azul do papel
Num instante imagino uma linda gaivota a voar no céu

Vai voando contornando
A imensa curva norte sul
Vou com ela viajando
Havaí, Pequim ou Istambul

Pinto um barco a vela branco navegando
é tanto céu e mar num beijo azul
Entre as nuvens vem surgindo
Um lindo avião rosa e grená
Tudo em volta colorindo
Com suas luzes a piscar
Basta imaginar e ele está partindo
Sereno indo
E se a gente quiser
Ele vai pousar

Numa folha qualquer eu desenho um navio de partida
Com alguns bons amigos, bebendo de bem com a vida
De uma América à outra consigo passar num segundo
Giro um simples compasso e num círculo eu faço o mundo
Um menino caminha e caminhando chega no muro
E ali logo em frente a esperar pela gente o futuro está

E o futuro é uma astronave
Que tentamos pilotar
Não tem tempo nem piedade
Nem tem hora de chegar
Sem pedir licença muda nossa vida
E depois convida a rir ou chorar
Nessa estrada não nos cabe
Conhecer ou ver o que virá
O fim dela ninguém sabe
Bem ao certo onde vai dar

Vamos todos numa linda passarela
De uma aquarela que um dia enfim
Descolorirá

Numa folha qualquer eu desenho um sol amarelo
Que descolorirá
E com cinco ou seis retas é fácil fazer um castelo
Que descolorirá
Giro um simples compasso e num círculo eu faço o mundo
Que descolorirá

- EVERYTHING COUNTS -


The handshake
Seals the contract
From the contract
There's no turning back
The turning point
Of a career
In Korea, being insincere
The holiday
Was fun packed
The contract
Still intact

The grabbing hands
Grab all they can
All for themselves
After all

It's a competitive world
Everything counts in large amounts

The graph
On the wall
Tells the story
Of it all
Picture it now
See just how
The lies and deceit
Gained a little more power
Confidence
Taken in
By a sun tan
And a grin

The grabbing hands
Grab all they can
All for themselves
After all

It's a competitive world
Everything counts in large amounts

The grabbing hands
Grab all they can
Everything counts in large amounts

- MOTORCYCLE EMPTINESS -


Culture sucks down words
Itemise loathing and feed yourself smiles
Organise your safe tribal war
Hurt maim kill and enslave the ghetto

Each day living out a lie
Life sold cheaply forever, ever, ever

Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness

Life lies a slow suicide
Orthodox dreams and symbolic myths
From feudal serf to spender
This wonderful world of purchase power

Just like lungs sucking on air
Survivals natural as sorrow, sorrow, sorrow

Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness

All we want from you are the kicks youve given us
All we want from you are the kicks youve given us
All we want from you are the kicks youve given us
All we want from you are the kicks youve given us

Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness

Drive away and its the same
Everywhere death row, everyones a victim
Your joys are counterfeit
This happiness corrupt political shit

Living life like a comatose
Ego loaded and swallow, swallow, swallow

Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness everlasting nothingness

¿Por qué ya no me baila un gusano en la tripa
cuando suena el teléfono y escucho su voz?
¿Por qué no me arreglé para la última cita
y no usé su perfume, ni me puse tacón?

Será que la rutina ha sido más más fuerte,
se han ido la ilusión y las ganas de verte,
pero me cuesta tanto decirlo a la cara...
Aguanto un poco más o ¿lo echamos a suertes?,
lo echamos a suertes.

¿Por qué ya no es mi tipo, por qué no es lo de siempre
cuando quedamos juntos y nos vamos a un bar?
¿Por qué ahora necesito estar con mucha gente
y cuando estamos solos no le quiero besar?

Será que nuestra vida ya no es diferente,
hacemos todo igual que el resto de la gente,
pero me cuesta tanto decirlo a la cara...
Aguanto un poco más o ¿lo echamos a suertes?,

Que nos ponha a brilhar

Mas nunca por ti
Nunca antevi
Nunca fiquei
A um passo de ti
Nunca me afastei
Para fora e nos vi
Para ver o quão longe
Estava de ti

Eu nunca dei um passo atrás
Que não fosse capaz
De um dia o emendar
Sonhar com outro futuro
Muito menos duro
Que nos ponha a brilhar

Dura um momento
Mas está bem
Não pertence a mais ninguém

Eu nunca dei um passo atrás
Que não fosse capaz
De um dia o emendar
Sonhar com outro futuro
Muito menos duro
Que nos ponha a brilhar

Querer dar mais um passo
Sem temer o fracasso
E por fim me entregar
Pressinto uma calma estranha
Que em mim se entranha
E deixa me descansar

- FIRST OF THE GANG TO DIE -


You have never been in love,
Until you've seen the stars,
reflect in the resevoirs

And you have never been in love,
Until you've seen the dawn rise,
behind the home for the blind

We are the pretty petty thieves,
And you're standing on our street..

...where Hector was the first of the gang
with a gun in his hand
and the first to do time
the first of the gang to die. Oh my.
Hector was the first of the gang
with a gun in his hand
and the first to do time
the first of the gang to die. Oh my.

You have never been in love,
Until you've seen the sunlight thrown
over smashed human bones

We are the pretty petty thieves,
And you're standing on our street..

...where Hector was the first of the gang
with a gun in his hand
and the first to do time
the first of the gang to die. Such a silly boy.
Hector was the first of the gang
with a gun in his hand
and a bullet in his gullet
and the first lost lad to go under the sod.


And he stole from the rich and the poor
and the not-very-rich and the very poor
and he stole all hearts away
he stole all hearts away
he stole all hearts away
he stole all hearts away

- QUIET TOWN -


I know somewhere there is a party going down.
Interesting people; conversation to be found.
I've lived in cities where there is no solid tune,
made some friends there that I hope I'll never lose.
But, for now, I want to stay in this quiet town.
The neighbors on my block, they've got stories to tell.
"This is the grocery who once was a hotel."
"And Mr. Driscoll, he just stands there with his smile,
inviting everyone he sees to come inside."
This is the life I want to live in a quiet town.

OoO, sometimes I miss the shows I loved a long time ago.
OoO, sometimes I miss the shows I loved a long time ago.
Come Sunday morning there's a market on the square.
Children are playing, bells are ringing in the air.
Old men are drinking, it's a lazy afternoon;
content with thinking that there is nothing to do.
So for now, I'm gonna stay in this quiet town.
In this quiet town.
In this quiet town.

Maybe I will maybe I won't
Find my way this time
I hear you're calling me soon

One of these days
Some of these days, and somebody pays
It happens all the time
I'll believing, believing you wanted me to

And maybe I'm a fool for walking in line
And maybe I should have tried to leave this time
I'm an honest mistake that you made
Did you mean to?

Oh, did you mean?

Love is just a game
Broken all the same
And I will get over you
Love is just a lie
Happens all the time
Swear I know this much is true

Oh, and they coloured you up
They coloured you down, they coloured you in
And I've been waiting so long
To take you home

And maybe I think, maybe I don't
Maybe I will, maybe I won't
Find my way tonight
But I hear you're calling me soon

And maybe I'm a fool for walking in line

- WAKE ME UP WHEN SEPTEMBER ENDS -


Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends

like my fathers come to pass
seven years has gone so fast
wake me up when september ends

here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are

as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when september ends

summer has come and passed
the innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends

ring out the bells again
like we did when spring began
wake me up when september ends

here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are

as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when september ends

Summer has come and passed

wake me up when september ends

- FOREVER YOUNG -


Lets dance in style, lets dance for a while
Heaven can wait were only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?

Let us die young or let us live forever
We dont have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The musics for the sad men

Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders were getting in tune
The musics played by the madmen

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever

Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why dont they stay young

Its so hard to get old without a cause
I dont want to perish like a fading horse
Youth is like diamonds in the sun
And dimonds are forever

So many adventures couldnt happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams are swinging out of the blue
We let them come true

- CIRCLE -


Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends
And we notice you don't come around
Me, I think it all depends
On you touching ground with us, but

I quit -- I give up
Nothing's good enough for anybody else
It seems

And being alone is the best way to be
When I'm by myself it's the best way to be
When I'm all alone it's the best way to be
When I'm by myself nobody else can say goodbye

Everything is temporary anyway
When the streets are wet
The colors slip into the sky

But I don't know that means you and I are
That means you and

[Q3.3/o1] Badly Drawn Boy



- YOU WERE RIGHT -


And you,
Were right to bide your time and not buy into my misery
Well the good things are never free
Do the colours of the rainbow look the same to everyone?
And I,
Was rushing round in circles for a reason to believe
Wipe the slime from off your sleeve
You could follow me for weeks
And I'm not going anywhere
Sometimes it's hard to love someone
Till the day that they are gone

And I
Just had a dream the other night
I was married to the Queen
And Madonna lived next door
I think she took a shine to me
And the kids were all grown up
But I had to turn her down
'Cos I was still in love with you

I'm turning Madonna down
I'm calling it my best move
I'll get her tickets to what she needs

I remember doing nothing on the night Sinatra died
And the night Jeff Buckley died
And the night Kurt Cobain died
And the night John Lennon died
I remember I stayed up to watch the news with everyone
And that was a lot of nights
And that was a lot of lives
Who lost the tickets to what they need?

And I
Was busy finding answers while you just got on with real life
Always hoped you'd be my wife
But I never found the time
For the question to arrive
I just disguised it in a song

And songs are never quite the answer
Just a soundtrack to a life
That is over all too soon
Helps to turn the days to night
While I was wrong and you were right

And this was a lesson learned
I'm happy to be your fool
And get you tickets to what you need

I'm turning the lights down low
I'm ready to make my move
I'll get you tickets to what you need

pero siempre se me escapa

Se va como tú
que acabas huyendo del mar
donde busqué tu olvido
si no te puedo tocar
sólo me queda el consuelo de estar

Por un ratito en tus oidos
en tus oidos
Por un ratito en tus oidos

si no te puedo ver

Por un ratito en tus oidos
en tus oidos
imaginándote

Se puede morir la fe
de mi universo
y no dejaría de creerte
me puedo morir de sed
si no te bebo
y no dejaria de quererte

Te puedo llorar borrar
lo que queda de ti
no quiero ese vacio s
i no te puedo tocar
me agarraría al consuelo
de estar

- HEARTBREAKER (Bee Gees) -


I got to say it and it's hard for me
You got me cryin' like I thought
I would never be
Love is believin' but you let me down
How can I love you when you ain't around
And I .....

Get to the morning and you never call
Love should be everything or not at all
And it don't matter what ever you do
I made a life out of lovin' you

Only to find any dream that I follow is dying
I'm cryin' in the rain
I could be searchin' my world for a love everlasting
Feeling no pain, when will we meet again

Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
Is it a lesson that I never knew
Gotta get out of the spell that
I'm under My love for you

*Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
When I was bein' what you want me to be
Suddenly everything I ever wanted has passed me by

This world may end Not you and I

My love is stronger than the universe
My soul is cryin' for you
And that can not be reversed
You made the rules and you could not see
You made a life out of hurtin' me

Out of my mind
I am held by the power of you love
Tell me when do we try
Or should we say goodbye

Is it a lesson that I never knew
Suddenly everything I ever wanted

- PHANTOM LIMB -


Frozen into coats,
White girls of the North,
Filed past one, five and one
They are the fabled lambs,
A Sunday ham,
The ancient snow.

And they could float above the grass,
In circles if they tried,
A latent power I'm known to hide,
To keep some hope alive,
That a girl like I could ever try,
Could ever try.

So we just skirt the hallway signs,
A phantom and a fly,
Follow the lines and wonder why
There's no connection.

And weakened falling eyes,
In cheap shots from the tribe,

And we're often in Marcus' porch again,
Another afternoon with the gold head tunes,
And pilfered booze.

We wandered through the mama's house,
And the milk from the window lights,
Family portrait circa ninety-five,
This is that foreign land,
With the sprayed on tans,
And it all feels fine,
Beats circus slime,

So, when they tap our mundane heads,
To zombie-walk in our stead,
This town seems hardly worth our time,
And we'll no longer memorize or rhyme,
Too far along in our climb,
Stepping over what now towers to the sky,
With no connection.

Oooh waooo waooo
(...)

The better part of me

I’m more than a bird...i’m more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
It’s not easy to be me

Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I’ll never see

It may sound absurd...but don’t be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed...but won’t you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
It’s not easy to be me

Up, up and away...away from me
It’s all right...you can all sleep sound tonight
I’m not crazy...or anything...

I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
Men weren’t meant to ride
With clouds between their knees

I’m only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
Inside of me
Inside me
Yeah, inside me

Looking for a dream

You used to be
And you don't ring true

Stop calling me

Are ten a penny
You're dropping clues
Like you've got any
You got to choose
There's been so many ohhhh

Could say that he don't want her
This look of love
Says I'm leaving
You're frozen now
I've done the freezing
I'm walking out

She's got to be
Obscene to be believed
That's her routine
Not what she means to me
I found myself
By circumstance
Across a room
Where people dance
And quite by chance
She' danced right next TO me

I love you baby
But face it she's Madonna
No man on earth
Would say that he don't want her
It's me not you
I've got to move on
You're younger too
But she's got her groove on
I'm sorry love

Oh, Madonna, Madonna

I want to tell you a secret

With Kate and Stella

She's brought her fella
But all I wanna do
Is take Madonna home

Something wrong inside
Hits you in a minute, Ooo
Then you know you're in it, aah.

The hardest part is when you're in it
I've been in love before

A dangerous dance
One small word can make me feel
Like running away
You can't say you're in it, no, until you reach the limit

-OVER MY HEAD (Cable Car)-


I never knew
I never knew that everything was falling through
That everyone I knew was waiting on a cue
To turn and run when all I needed was the truth
But that's how it's got to be
It's coming down to nothing more than apathy
I'd rather run the other way than stay and see
The smoke and who's still standing when it clears

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

Let's rearrange
I wish you were a stranger I could disengage
Just say that we agree and then never change
Soften a bit until we all just get along
But that's disregard
Find another friend and you discard
As you lose the argument in a cable car
Hanging above as the canyon comes between

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

And suddenly I become a part of your past
I'm becoming the part that don't last
I'm losing you and its effortless
Without a sound we lose sight of the ground
In the throw around
Never thought that you wanted to bring it down
I won't let it go down till we torch it ourselves

And everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

Everyone knows
She's on your mind
Everyone knows I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head
I'm in over...

Yo, con mi pesar
mi calma de rubí
y mi camisa que antes era gris

Un ademán que intento controlar
pero entiendo que ya no es igual
que estoy aquí y tú no estás

Siempre pienso en esos días que pasaste por mi vida
y que palabra y que canción te gustaría
Siempre pienso en esos días que tu piel era la mía
y como fué que no encontramos la salida

Tú,no llamas más
tu calle de la paz es casi casi más que una señal
un vendaval de arena sin el mar
donde hubo un puerto ya no está
y no hablas más y ya es de noche en la ciudad

Siempre pienso en esos días que pasaste por mi vida
y que palabra y que canción te gustaría
Siempre pienso en esos días que tu piel era la mía
y como fué que no encontramos la salida

y el tiempo que se va

-STARZ IN THEIR EYES-


they'll be making sure you stay amused
they'll fill you up with drugs and booze
Maybe you'll make the evening news

And when you're tripping over your dreams
They'll keep you down by any means
and by the end of the night you'll be stifling your screams

Since you became a VIPerson
It's like your problems have all worsened
Your paranoia casts aspersions
On the truths you know

And they'll just put you in the spotlight
And hope that you'll do alright
Or maybe not

Now Why do you wanna go put starz in their eyes?
Why you wanna go put starz in their eyes?
so why you wanna go put starz in their eyes?
now why you wanna go put starz in there eyes
starz in their eyes?

Remember they said you'd show them all
Emphasise the rise but not the fall
And now you're playing a shopping mall

Your mum and dad they can't believe
What you appear to have achieved
While the rest of these users are just laughing in their sleeves

Since you became a VIPerson
It's like your problems have all worsened
Your paranoia casts aspersions
On the truths you know

And now the tabloids use your face
To document your fall from grace
And then they'll tell you that that's just the way it goes
That's just the way it goes

Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
It's the same old story well they just didn't realise
And it's a long way to come from the dog and duck karaoke machine
And Saturday night's drunken dreams

Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
It's the same old story but they just didn't realise
And it's a long way to come from your private bedroom dance routines
And Saturday night's drunken dreams

Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
Why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
So why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
Starz in their eyes?

Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
It's the same old story but they just didn't realise
And it's a long way to come from the dog and duck karaoke machine

(When I grow up im going to be famous)

Behind the steel barrier and sequence and glitter
Five inch heels still knee deep in the litter
Each of them a bitter bullshitter,
Wrapped up in the cloak of fake glamour, getting lost in the camera
Well footprints are fools gold, diamonds crusts on their one off plimsolls
So little time for these one off arseholes
Rigour mortis Ken and Barbie dolls,
A pair of big shades and a push up bra,
It's such a short gap between the gutter and stars,
That you've come a long way from the place that you started
So why'd you wanna go and get so down hearted

Welcome to the kingdom of the blagger
Uncutting you nose clean, coating you bladder
A whole lot happier a whole lot sadder,
Used to be satisfied but now you feel like Mick Jagger,

--For Extended Version-------------------------------------------------------

Now why do you wanna go and put starz in their eyes?
It's the same old story well they just didn't realise

-ARTHUR'S THEME-


Once in your life you find her
Someone that turns your heart around
And next thing you know you're closing down the town
Wake up and it's still with you
Even though you left her way across town
Wondering to yourself, "Hey, what've I found?"

When you get caught between the Moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the Moon and New York City
The best that you can do ......
The best that you can do is fall in love

Arthur he does as he pleases
All of his life, he's mastered choice
Deep in his heart, he's just, he's just a boy
Living his life one day at a time
And showing himself a really good time
Laughing about the way they want him to be

When you get caught between the Moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the Moon and New York City
The best that you can do .....
The best that you can do is fall in love

-(DIZ) A VERDADE-


Se te perguntarem por nós
Sobre que coisa fazemos
Quando estamos juntos,
Diz a verdade.

Que deslocamos
Os cometas sem querer
As estrelas p'ra desenhos
E a lua garantindo o amor.

Se te perguntarem por nós
Sobre que coisa fazemos
Quando estamos juntos,
Diz a verdade.

Que deslocamos
Os cometas sem querer
As estrelas p'ra desenhos
E a lua garantindo o amor.

Diz a verdade
Sobre a intervenção
Na cósmica escolha dos casais
A obrigação de nos obedecer.

Não fosse o Universo
Desentender quem somos
E favorecer a separação...

Não fosse o Universo
Desentender quem somos
E favorecer a separação...

Ou pior,
O não nos havermos conhecido...

[Q1.2/o1] Earth & Fire



- WEEKEND -


Sunday and it’s so hard to say goodbye
I don’t know what to do to passing the days without you
Friday night when I see you again
You’ll make a fool out of me
I don’t wanna be your lover for the weekend

Sometimes when I’m looking at your face
There’s something in your eyes that makes me realize
We’ve got no chance if we’re going on this way
You mean such a lot to me
I don’t wanna be your lover for the weekend

Chorus:

Love in a woman’s heart
I wanna have a whole and not a part
It’s strange that this feeling grows more and more
‘Cause I’ve never loved someone like you before

Sunday and it’s so hard to say goodbye
I don’t know what to do to passing the days without you
Friday night when I see you again
You’ll make a fool out of me
I don’t wanna be your lover for the weekend

Chorus (2x)

Sometimes when I’m looking at your face
There’s something in your eyes that makes me realize
We’ve got no chance if we’re going on this way
You mean such a lot to me
I don’t wanna be your lover for the weekend

Chorus (3x)

- TOUCH BY TOUCH -


When I feel the time is right and your staying by my side
And the love you give to me makes my heart beat
When my fantasy fly away but my feelings make me stay
I see the fire in your eyes, it makes my heart beat

Do it, we'll still do it night and day
You're my all time lover
Do it, we'll still do it anyway
Like there is no other
Touch by touch, you're my all time lover
Skin to skin, come undone my cover

When my heart full of love it makes me a turtle in dove
Love the game that we play night and day
When our love is clear and bright it's our way to see the light
There's a fire in our heart night and day

Do it, we'll still do it night and day
You're my all time lover
Do it, we'll still do it anyway
Like there is no other
Touch by touch, your my all time lover
Skin to skin, come undone my cover

Do it, we'll still do it night and day
You're my all time lover
Do it, we'll still do it anyway
Like there is no other
Touch by touch, you're my all time lover
Skin to skin, come undone my covers

Do it, we'll still do it night and day
You're my all time lover
Do it, we'll still do it anyway
Like there is no other
Touch by touch, your my all time lover
Skin to skin, come undone my covers

-SWEET ESCAPE- (Featuring Akon)


Whohoe, whihoo
Whohoe, whihoo
Whohoe, whihoo
Whohoe, whihoo

If I could escape
I would, but first of all let me say
I must apologize for acting, stinking, treating you this way
Cause I've been acting like sour milk fell on the floor
It's your fault you didn't shut the refridgerator
Maybe that's the reason I've been acting so cold

If I could escape
And re-create a place as my own world
And I could be your favorite girl
Forever, perfectly together
Tell me boy, now wouldn't that be sweet?

If I could be sweet
I know I've been a real bad girl
I didn't mean for you to get hurt
Forever, we can make it better
Tell me boy, Now wouldn't that be sweet?
Sweet escape

(I wanna get away, to our sweet escape)

You let me down
I'm at my lowest boiling point
Come help me out
I need to get me out of this joint
Come on, let's bounce
Counting on you to turn me around
Instead of clowning around let's look for some common ground

So baby, times getting a little crazy
I've been getting a little lazy
Waiting for you to come save me
I can see that you're angry
[ these lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]
By the way the you treat me
Hopefully you don't leave me
Want to take you with me

If I could escape
And re-create a place as my own world
And I could be your favorite girl
Forever, perfectly together
Tell me boy, now wouldn't that be sweet?

If I could be sweet
I know I've been a real bad girl
I didn't mean for you to get hurt
Forever, we can make it better
Tell me boy, now wouldn't that be sweet?
Sweet escape

Whohoe, whihoo
Whohoe, whihoo
Whohoe, whihoo
Whohoe, whihoo

If I could escape

Cause I've been acting like sour milk fell on the floor
It's your fault you didn't shut the refridgerator
Maybe that's the reason I've been acting so cold

If I could escape
And re-create a place in my own world
And I could be your favorite girl
Forever, perfectly together
Tell me boy, now wouldn't that be sweet?

If I could be sweet
I know I've been a real bad girl
I didn't mean for you to get hurt
Forever, we can make it better
Tell me boy, now wouldn't that be sweet?

[Q1.3/o1] The Smiths



-THERE'S A LIGHT THAT NEVER GOES OUT-


Take me out tonight
Where there's music and there's people
And they're young and alive

Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one
Anymore

Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people and
I want to see life

Driving in your car
Oh, please don't drop me home
Because it's not my home, it's their home,
And I'm welcome no more

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die

And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine

Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
And in the darkened underpass
I thought oh god, my chance has come at last
(but then a strange fear gripped me and i just couldn't ask)

Take me out tonight
Oh, take me anywhere,
I don't care,
I don't care,
I don't care...

Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I havent got one, oh no...
Oh, I haven't got one

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die

And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine

Oh, there is a light and it never goes out...

-IF YOU GIVE UP-


If you don't wanna wait
You left me inside out
It's too hard for me
There's no easy way out

You don't know and don't ask how
That i'm gonna make it work again
You don't know and don't ask why
That i'm gonna make it once again

If you give up now, whos gonna loose
Which one of us, is given up now of being free
And if you give up now, whos gonna loose
Which one of us, is given up now of being free

Distance from between us
That we can't shake out
It's cristal clear
But it ain't gonna last

You don't know and don't ask why
That i'm trying to make it work
I'm trying to make it work

If you give up now, whos gonna loose
Which one of us, is given up now of being free
And if you give up now, whos gonna loose
Which one of us, is given up now of being free

Just look around and see
Who you really need
Who you really want

If you give up now, whos gonna loose
Which one of us, is given up now of being free
And if you give up now, whos gonna loose
Which one of us, is given up now of being free

Just look around and see
If you give up you won't be free
You won't be free yeah yeah

Never look back...

- IN LIVERPOOL-


In Liverpool
On Sunday
No traffic
On the avenue
The light is pale and thin
Like you
No sound, down
In this part of town

Except for the boy in the belfry
He's crazy, he's throwing himself
Down from the top of the tower
Like a hunchback in heaven
He's ringing the bells in the church
For the last half an hour
He sounds like he's missing something
Or someone that he knows he can't
Have now and if he isn't
I certainly am

Homesick for a clock
That told the same time
Sometimes you made no sense to me
If you lie on the ground
In somebody's arms
You'll probably swallow some of their history

And the boy in the belfry
He's crazy, he's throwing himself
Down from the top of the tower
Like a hunchback in heaven
He's ringing the bells in the church
For the last half an hour
He sounds like he's missing something
Or someone that he knows he can't
Have now and if he isn't
I certainly am

I'll be the girl who sings for my supper
You'll be the monk whose forehead is high
He'll be the man who's already working
Spreading a memory all through the sky

In Liverpool
On Sunday
No reason to even remember you now

Except for the boy in the belfry
He's crazy, he's throwing himself
Down from the top of the tower
Like a hunchback in heaven
He's ringing the bells in the church
For the last half an hour
He sounds like he's missing something
Or someone that he knows he can't
Have now and if he isn'tI certainly am

-WINTER IN THE HAMPTONS-


Here we go
Singin' our songs with our soul
Winter has gone
Where do we belong
We have stayed too long

Friday night
So uptight we get stoned
Sit in the Hamptons
It is too cold
We have stayed too long

Spring is finally here
And we're so well dressed
It's a talent and it's our style
So put on your hat
Because the forecast is rain clouds

Never know
American scene's such a bore
Embarassing
Still, we are hangin' on
We have stayed too long

And we'll fly
Take a gypsy to Eurosize
Our money is gone
Where do we belong
We have stayed too long

Sick of livin' here
It's such a mess
'Cause the government they're all liars
So put on your hat
Because the forecast is rain clouds...

-A CARTA-

Não falei contigo
Com medo que os montes e vales que me achas
Caíssem a teus pés...

Acredito e entendo
Que a estabilidade lógica
De quem não quer explodir
Faça bem ao escudo que és...

Saudade é o ar
Que vou sugando e aceitando
Como fruto de verão
Nos jardins do teu beijo...

Mas sinto que sabes que sentes também
Que num dia maior serás trapézio sem rede
A pairar sobre o mundo
Em tudo o que vejo...

É que hoje acordei e lembrei-me
Que sou mago feiticeiro
Que a minha bola de cristal é folha de papel
Nela te pinto nua, nua
Numa chama minha e tua.
Numa chama minha e tua.

Desconfio que ainda não reparaste
Que o teu destino foi inventado
Por gira-discos estragados
Aos quais te vais moldando...

E todo o teu planeamento estratégico
De sincronização do coração
São leis como paredes e tectos
Cujos vidros vais pisando...

Anseio o dia em que acordares
Por cima de todos os teus números
Raízes quadradas de somas subtraídas
Sempre com a mesma solução...

Podias deixar de fazer da vida
Um ciclo vicioso
Harmonioso ao teu gesto mimado
E à palma da tua mão...

É que hoje acordei e lembrei-me
Que sou mago feiticeiro
Que a minha bola de cristal é folha de papel
Nela te pinto nua, nua
Numa chama minha e tua.
Numa chama minha e tua.

Desculpa se te fiz fogo e noite
Sem pedir autorização por escrito
Ao sindicato dos deuses...
Mas não fui eu que te escolhi.

Desculpa se te usei
Como refúgio dos meus sentidos
Pedaço de silêncios perdidos
Que voltei a encontrar em ti...

É que hoje acordei e lembrei-me
Que sou mago feiticeiro...
...nela te pinto nua, nua
Numa chama minha e tua.
Numa chama minha e tua.

Ainda magoas alguém
O tiro passou-me ao lado
Ainda magoas alguém...

Se não te deste a ninguém
Magoaste alguém

A mim... passou-me ao lado.
A mim... passou-me ao lado.

-WINDMILL-


Time goes wherever you are
Time is your guiding star
That shines through all your life
Makes you feel and move
My dreams are out in the far
So are yours a part
Of secret fairy tales
Dripped on the wings of a mystery mill

Windmill, windmill, keep on turning
Show me the way, Take me today
Windmill, windmill, hearts are yearning
Longing for love and a chance to be free

Don't feel alone and depressed
Someone will come at last
To soothe your stumbling mind
To keep it away from the evil storm

Windmill, windmill, keep on turning
Show me the way, Take me today
Windmill, windmill, hearts are yearning
Longing for love and a chance to be free

Time goes wherever you are...

Qoo

A mudança dos tempos implica actualizações, reformas, busca de conhecimentos.
E isso também acontece com a música.
A necessidade imperativa de estar actual, na 'moda', numa atitude constante de inovação.
Mas também o reconhecimento do passado que nos traz lembranças através das canções.

A música é um espelho da nossa vida.
Sem ela, tudo seria vazio, inerte e sem cor.
Aqui vão tocar simplesmente as que mais gosto e que quero partilhar.
