This is Hardcore


You are hardcore, you make me hard.
You name the drama and I'll play the part.
It seems I saw you in some teenage wet dream.
I like your get up if you know what I mean.
I want it bad.
I want it now.
Oh can't you see I'm ready now.
I've seen all the pictures, I've studied them forever.
I wanna make a movie so let's star in it together.
Don't make a move 'til I say, "Action."
Oh, here comes the Hardcore life.
Put your money where your mouth is tonight.
Leave your make-up on & I'll leave on the light.
Come over here babe & talk in the mic.
Oh yeah I hear you now.
It's gonna be one hell of a night.
You can't be a spectator. Oh no.
You got to take these dreams & make them whole.
Oh this is Hardcore - there is no way back for you.
Oh this is Hardcore -this is me on top of you & I can't believe that it took me this long.
That it took me this long.
This is the eye of the storm.
It's what men in stained raincoats pay for but in here it is pure. Yeah.
This is the end of the line.
I've seen the storyline played out so many times before.
Oh that goes in there.
Then that goes in there.
Then that goes in there.
Then that goes in there. & then it's over.
Oh, what a hell of a show but what I want to know: what exactly do you do for an encore?
'Cos this is Hardcore.
This is hardcore. Pulp.

Commuter Love


Freezing Monday morning
She is waiting for her train to come
I brush past her, smell her perfume
Watch her hair move as she turns to go
She doesn't know I exist
I'm gonna keep it like this
I'm not gonna take any risks this time
She's not like the others
With their papers and their headphones on
She reads novels by French authors with loose morals
She can do no wrongI wouldn't say I'm obsessed
I don't wanna see her undressed
We can be prince and princess in my dream
And we're dancing
Through the evening'
Til the morning
Commuter Love. Divine Comedy

Me, Myself and I

I try to kill those ghosts inside of me
That voice you've spoke is yelling in my ears
(And I don't believe in love fools)
I'd like to have those eyes you want to kiss
I wish I had that voice you want to ear
(And I don't believe in love fools)
This feeling is so hard that
I can't speakI wish you touch my hair when
I'm asleep
(And I don't believe in love fools)
The words you wrote are putting me away
I know that love was for somebody else
You and I know
You and I tried
You and I ran
Leaving old stories far behind
And it feels good
And it's so warm
Having those eyes
Playing with me, myself and I
Me, Myself and I. The Gift.

The Truth

How could you hurt me like this?
How could you fear me like this?
I know that all the words are just words
I think that you don't know what it means
I think that it might be true
I think I've been a fool
Oh, don't you think?
All I've done now, all I've said
All I've read, it was for real
It was for real
But I know that
That dreams are just dreams
And I know that
You're not what it used to be love
Oh love
Oh love
All I've done, all I've said
All I've read, it was for real
All I've known, all I've feared
All I've said it was for real
How could you hurt me like this?
How could you fear me like this?
I know that all the words are just words
It can't be real
The Gift. The Truth

Deer stop


And I long to go
Love started. Here
Shoot your star
Be a light
Is that
Don't you call
Deer stop bottle in a shell
Shoot a thousand stars over me
Love to come home
You've arrested a knight
Say my name,Whisper it
Don't ever turn
I'm deliciously wired
I'm falling in a cloud
Shoot a thousand stars over
Say my name
Whisper it
Deer Stop. Goldfrapp

It's Nothing


Nothing can stop you
Nothing can break you now
This is'ness has put you out of business
Bought and sold me
I'm lonely
I will admit I'm lonely
Just keep on walking
Act like you don't know me
Disown me
Go ahead disown me
It doesn't really matter
At all
Nothing seems to matter
Nothing can hurt you
Nothing can bring you down
Nothing at allNothing can break you
Nothing can take you now
Nothing at all
Let me down easy
Speak softly
Let me down gently
I realize it must be
Disorientating
What was I
What was I saying
Doesn't really matter
Anymore
Nothing seems to matter
Nothing at all
Nothing can hurt you
Nothing can bring you down
Nothing at all
Nothing can take you
Nothing can break your heart
Nothing at all
Nothing can hurt you
Nothing can bring you down
Nothing at all
Nothing can take you
Nothing can break your heart
Nothing at all
This is a matter
This is a matter
This is a matter
This is a matter
Nothing can wreck me
Nothing can take me down
Moloko. It's nothing.

Segue o teu destino

Segue o teu destino,
Rega as tuas plantas,
Ama as tuas rosas.
O resto é a sombra
De árvores alheias.
A realidade
Sempre é mais ou menos
Do que nós queremos.
Só nós somos sempre
Iguais a nós-próprios.
Suave é viver só.
Grande e nobre é sempre
Viver simplesmente.
Deixa a dor nas aras
Como ex-voto aos deuses.
Vê de longe a vida.
Nunca a interrogues.
Ela nada pode
Dizer-te. A resposta
Está além dos deuses.
Mas serenamente
Imita o Olimpo
No teu coração.
Os deuses são deuses
Porque não se pensam.

How to Disappear Completely


That there, that's not me
I go where I please
I walk through walls
I float down the Liffey
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here,
I'm not here

In a little while
I'll be gone
The moment's already passed
Yeah, it's gone
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here,
I'm not here

Strobe lights and blown speakers
Fireworks and hurricanes
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here,
I'm not here....

How to disappear completely. Radiohead.

Play Dead


Darling stop confusing me
With your wishful thinking
Hopeful embraces
Don't you understand?
I have to go through this
I belong to here where
No-one cares and no-one loves
No light no air to live in
A place called hate
The city of fear
I play dead
It stops the hurting
I play dead
And the hurting stops
It's sometimes just like sleeping
Curling up inside my private tortures
I nestle into pain
Hug suffering
Caress every acheI play dead,
It stops the hurting
Play Dead. Bjork.
