No tengas nada en las manos
ni un recuerdo en el alma,
que cuando te pongan
en las manos el óbolo último,
al abrirte las manos
nada te caerá.

¿Qué trono quieren darte
que Átropos no te quite?

¿Qué laureles que no se mustien
en los arbitrios de Minos?

¿Qué horas que no te hagan
la estatura de la sombra
que serás cuando estés
en la noche y al final del camino?

Coge las flores pero suéltalas,
de las manos apenas las miraste.

SIéntate al sol. Abdica
y sé rey de ti mismo.

Ricardo Reis

Je veux être seul
reste-la, toi ta geule
je ne peux pas me calmer
laisse-moi tempêter
j'ai trop des tristes pensés
pour ça je veux crier
je ne suis pas contente
furieuse comme un enfant

C'est la manie
c'est la manie

Je ne suis pas genée
j'ai un esprit troublé
donne-moi un peu de temps
ça passera par le vent
je veux être seul
reste-la, toi ta geule
je ne peux pas me calmer
laisse-moi tempêter

C'est la manie
c'est la manie

Je veux être seul
reste-la, toi ta geule
je ne peux pas me calmer
laisse moi tempêter

C'est…

God that was strange to see you again
Introduced by a friend of a friend
Smiled and said 'yes I think we've met before'
In that instant it started to pour,
Captured a taxi despite all the rain
We drove in silence across Pont Champlain
And all of the time you thought I was sad
I was trying to remember your name…

This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin
Tried to reach deep but you couldn't get in
Now you're outside me
You see all the beauty
Repent all your sin

It's nothing but time and a face…

When you say it's dead and gone,
I know you're wrong.
Cut and slash, sharpest knife.
It won't die.
Poison cup, drank it up.
It won't die.
No fire, no gun, no rope, no stone.
It won't die.

Why you gotta shove it in my face,
As if you put me in my place.
Cause I don't care,
If you or me is wrong or right,
Ain't gonna spend another night.
In your bed.

Laws of man, are just pretend.
They ain't mine.
Love so good, love so bad.
It won't die.
Some talk too long, they know it all.…

Take a look at my body
Look at my hands
There's so much here
That I don't understand

Your face saving promises
Whispered like prayers
I don't need them
I don't need them

I've been treated so wrong
I've been treated so long
As if I'm becoming untouchable

Contempt loves the silence
It thrives in the dark
With fine winding tendrils
That strangle the heart

They say that promises
Sweeten the blow
But I don't need them
No, I don't need them

I've been treated so wrong
I've been treated so long
As if I'm becoming untouchable

I'm a slow…

If I was young, I'd flee this town
I'd bury my dreams underground
As did I, we drink to die, we drink tonight

Far from home, elephant gun
Let's take them down one by one
We'll lay it down, it's not been found, it's not around

Let the seasons begin it rolls right on
Let the seasons begin take the big game down

Let the seasons begin it rolls right on
Let the seasons begin take the big game down

And it rips through the silence of our camp at night
And it rips through the night

And it rips…

As i was saying
I know that im one of the few who got
away from you
Steven Smith , we all lose
one look at you
and theyre suddenly covered in
shrapnel too
its true, most die in your bedroom

All the time im getting shot
oh, barrels roll and hammers drop
come on now
grab that gun and well go drive
around
until theres no sound

Come on
lets go
I said i am driving and i am driving
its true, ive got something for you

When everything is quiet
the ringing in our ears will be awfully…

Through the alleyways to cool off in the shadows
then into the street following the water
there's a bearded man paddling in his canoe
looks as if he has come all the way from the cayman islands

these canals, it seems, they all go in circles
places look the same, and we're the only difference
the wind is in your hair, it's covering my view
I'm holding on to you, on a bike we've hired until tomorrow

if only they could see, if only they had been here
they would understand, how someone could have chosen
to go the length…

Angel I can see myself in your eyes
Angel wont you feel for me from your heart
Do return my heart to me
No dont insist Im already hurt

Elephant girl
It was an accident unfortunate
Angel threw me like a rubber man
Aiming for the ground
Why amuse yourself in such way
No dont insist Im already hurt

Lay me down on the ground softly softly
Dont remove my head hurts much too much

You never return it
Well I wouldnt miss it
I shed no tears for broken me
You never know it my peace of mind
Now…

She buys a new dress for the party,
she always looks good in red.
Turns around in front of the mirror
and disappears inside of her head.
She wonders if he'll even remember,
she asked him in a casual way.
Just in case he didn't want to go with her,
in that event she knew just what she would say.

She thought of maybe asking a girlfriend,
even though she only has one or two.
She's always done much better with boys anyway,
so who needs girlfriends?
Pacing nervous across the floor of her bedroom,
gripping tight the phone in…
