I'm a fountain of blood
In the shape of a girl
You're the bird on the brim
Hypnotised by the Whirl

Drink me, make me feel real
Wet your beak in the stream
Game we're playing is life
Love is a two way dream

Leave me now, return tonight
Tide will show you the way
If you forget my name
You will go astray
Like a killer whale
Trapped in a bay

I'm a path of cinders
Burning under your feet
You're the one who walks me
I'm your one way street

I'm a whisper in water
Secret for you to hear
You are the one who grows distant
When I beckon you near

Leave me now, return tonight
The tide will show you the way
If you forget my name
You will go astray
Like a killer whale
Trapped in a bay

I'm a tree that grows hearts
One for each that you take
You're the intruders hand
I'm the branch that you break
Hum-yeah!

Wish You Were Here
(Pink Floyd-Wish You Were Here)


So, so you think you can tell.
Heaven from hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil ?
Do you think you can tell ?

And did they get you to trade
your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
a walk on part in the war
for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl,
year after year.
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

Ουφ...  

 

Wish You Were Here
(Blackmore's Night - Wish You Were Here)

Wish You Were Here...
Me, oh, my country man,
Wish You Were Here...

I Wish You Were Here...
Don't you know, the snow is getting colder,
And I miss you like hell,
And I'm feeling blue...

I've got feelings for you,
Do you still feel the same?
From the first time I laid my eyes on you,
I felt joy of living,
I saw heaven in your eyes...
In your eyes...

Wish You Were Here...
Me, oh, my country man,
Wish You Were Here...

I Wish You Were Here...
Don't you know, the snow is getting colder,
And I miss you like hell...
And I'm feeling blue...

I miss your laugh, I miss your smile,
I miss everything about you...
Every second's like a minute,
Every minute's like a day
When you're far away...

The snow is getting colder, baby,
I Wish You Were Here...
A battlefield of love and fear,
And I Wish You Were Here...

I've got feelings for you,
From the first time I laid my eyes on you...

 

If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me

Well you got your reasons
And you got your lies
And you got your manipulations
They cut me down to size

Sayin you love but you dont
You give your love but you wont

If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me

Seems the road less traveled
Shows happiness unraveled
And you got to take a little dirt
To keep what you love
Thats what you gotta do

Sayin you love but you dont
You give your love but you wont
Youre stretching out your arms to something thats just not there
Sayin you love where you stand
Give your heart when you can

If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me

Sayin you love but you dont
You give your love but you wont
Sayin you love where you stand
Give your heart when you can

If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me

If you could only see - Tonic

 

Down by the river - Neil Young

Be on my side,
I'll be on your side,
baby
There is no reason
for you to hide
It's so hard for me
staying here all alone
When you could be
taking me for a ride.

Yeah, she could drag me
over the rainbow,
send me away
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river,
Dead, oh, shot her dead.

You take my hand,
I'll take your hand
Together we may get away
This much madness
is too much sorrow
It's impossible
to make it today.

Yeah, she could drag me
over the rainbow,
send me away
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river,
Dead, oh, shot her dead.

Be on my side,
I'll be on your side,
baby
There is no reason
for you to hide
It's so hard for me
staying here all alone
When you could be
taking me for a ride.

Yeah, she could drag me
over the rainbow,
send me away
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river,
Dead, oh, shot her dead.

 

Who am I
(Country Joe and the Fish)


Who am I
To stand and wonder, to wait
While the wheels of fate
Slowly grind my life away.
Who am I ?

There were some things that I loved one time,
But the dreams are gone that I thought were mine,
And the hidden tears that once could fall
Now burn inside at the thought of all
The years of waste, the years of cryin'
The passions of a heart so blind;
To think that, but even still
As I stand exposed, the feelings are felt
And I cry into the echo of my loneliness.

Who am I
To stand and wonder, to wait
While the wheels of fate
Slowly grind my life away.
Who am I ?

What a nothing I've made of life
The empty words, the coward's plight
To be pushed and passed from hand to hand
Never daring to speak, never daring to stand
And the emptiness of my family's eyes
Reminds me over and over of lies
And promises and deeds undone
And now again I want to run
But now there is nowhere to run to.

Who am I
To stand and wonder, to wait
While the wheels of fate
Slowly grind my life away.
Who am I ?

And now my friend we meet again and
We shall see which one will bend
Under the strain of death's golden eyes
Which one of us shall win the prize
To live and which one will die
'Tis I, my friend, yes 'tis I
Shall kill to live again and again
To clutch the throat of sweet revenge
For life is here only for the taking.

Who am I
To stand and wonder, to wait
While the wheels of fate
Slowly grind my life away.
Who am I ? Who am I ?




Young Fellow My Lad
(Country Joe McDonald)

"Where are you going, Young Fellow My Lad,
On this glittering morn of May ?"
"I'm going to join the Colors, Dad,
They're looking for men, they say."
"But you're only a boy, Young Fellow My Lad,
You aren't obliged to go."
"Well, I'm seventeen and a quarter, Dad,
And ever so strong, you know."

"So you're off to France, Young Fellow My Lad
And you're looking so fit and bright."
"I'm terribly sorry to leave you, dad,
But I feel that I'm doing right."
"God bless you and keep you, Young Fellow My Lad,
You're all of my life, you know."
"Don't worry. I'll soon be back, dear dad,
And I'm awfully proud to go."

"Why don't you write, Young Fellow My Lad ?
I watch for the post each day;
And I miss you so and I'm awfully sad,
And it's months since you went away.
And I've had the fire in the parlor lit,
And I'm keeping it burning bright
Till my boy comes home, and here I sit
Into the quiet night."

"What is the matter, Young Fellow My Lad ?
No letter again to-day.
Why did the postman look so sad,
And sigh as he turned away ?
Well, I hear them tell that we've gained new ground,
But a terrible price we've paid:
God grant, my boy, that you're safe and sound;
But oh I'm afraid, afraid."

"They've told me the truth, Young Fellow My Lad,
You'll never come back again:
(Oh God! the dreams and the dreams I've had,
And the hopes I've nursed in vain.)
For you passed in the night, Young Fellow My Lad,
And you proved in the cruel test
Of the screaming shell and the battle hell
That my boy was one of the best."

"So you'll live, you'll live, Young Fellow My Lad,
In the gleam of the evening star,
In the wood-note wild and the laugh of the child,
In all sweet things that are.
And you'll never die, my wonderful boy
While life is noble and true:
For all our beauty and hope and joy
We will owe to our lads like you."

 

Πολύ όμορφοι στίχοι που εκφράζουν κοινωνικό προβληματισμό καθώς και την αλλοτρίωση στις σχέσεις μεταξύ των ανθρώπων τη σημερινή εποχή.
Ο συνθέτης εκφράζει το φόβο και τη λύπη του για το ότι οι παλιές όμορφες ημέρες της ξενοιασιάς και του έρωτα έχουν περάσει ανεπιστρεπτί.

Θα καταφέρει άραγε η αγάπη και ο έρωτας να θριαμβεύσουν και πάλι φέρνοντας ζέστη κι ευτυχία στις καρδιές των ανθρώπων;

Στο τέλος υπάρχει μια νότα αισιοδοξίας αλλά και η πίστη πως οι άνθρωποι τελικά θα καταφέρουν να συμβιώσουν μονιασμένοι, ελεύθεροι με τον έρωτα οδηγό.




From the grave I will escape
Maggots crawl from out my skull
The worms they feed upon my brain
The life I lost I now regain.

And my skin has molded green
Bullet holes through flesh and bone
Half my face rotted off
I wait to drink your fucking blood - blood!


Hunting - Killing
Murderous - I'll cut your fucking head off!

A butcher's knife clenched in my fist
Revenge of the Zombie
Stabbing you to fucking death
Revenge of the Zombie
Hacking eyes right from your face
Revenge of the Zombie
I feed upon your dying brain
Revenge of the Zombie
To live your life in horrid pain
Revenge of the Zombie
Open sores start to decay
Revenge of the Zombie
New human beings I create
Revenge of the Zombie
From my spell you can't escape
Revenge of the Zombie


Six Feet Under - Revenge Of The Zombie

 

The Undercover Man
Van Der Graaf Generator-Godbluff)


Here at the glass -
all the usual problems, all the habitual farce.
You ask, in uncertain voice,
what you should do,
as if there were a choice but to carry on
miming the song
and hope that it all works out right.

Tonight it all seems so strange -
my spirit feels rigid, my body deranged;
still that's only from one point of view
and we can't have illusion between me and you,
my constant friend, ever close at hand -
you and the undercover man.

I reflect:
'It's very strange to be going through this change
with no idea of what it's all been about
except in the context of time....'
Oh, but I shirk it, I've half a mind not to work it all out.
Is this madness just the recurring wave of total emotion,
or a hide for the undercover man,
or a litany - all the signs are there of fervent devotion -
or the cracking of the dam?

It's cracked; smashed and bursting over you,
there was no reason to expect such disaster.
Now, panicking, you burst for air,
drowning, you know you care
for nothing and no-one but yourself
and would deny even this hand
which stretches out towards you to help.
But would I leave you in this moment of your trial?
Is it my fault that I'm here to see you crying?
These phantom figures all around you should have told you,
you should have found out by now,
if you hadn't gone and tried to do it all by yourself.

Even now we are not lost:
if you look out at the night
you'll see the colours and the lights
seem to say people are not far away,
at least in distance,
and it's only our own dumb resistance
that's making us stay.
When the madness comes
let it flood on down and over me sweetly,
let it drown the parts of me weak and blessed and damned,
let it slake my life, let it take my soul and living completely,
let it be who I am.

There may not be time for us all to run in tandem together -
the horizon calls with its parallel lines.
It may not be right for you to have and hold in one way forever
and yet you still have time,
you still have time.

 

Εγώ σ' αγάπησα εδώ - Ελένη Τσαλιγοπούλου

Εγώ σ' αγάπησα εδώ
Που να 'σαι τώρα που γυρνάς
Σε ποιο καινούργιο ουρανό χρώματα κλέβεις;
Ένιωσες πάλι τα φτερά
Τι σου 'βαλε ξανά φωτιά
Σε ποιο λιμάνι, ποιο σταθμό, καρδιά γυρεύεις;

Πώς να κρατήσει το κορμί απόψε η νύχτα
Τώρα ο κόσμος έχει χάσει μια στροφή
Εγώ δε μίλησα, για θαύματα δεν είπα
Δε σου στάθηκε κανένας πιο πολύ

Εγώ σ' αγάπησα εδώ
Με τα φεγγάρια της βροχής
Περίμενες τόσο καιρό να ξαποστάσεις
Έφτανε να χαμογελάς
Να σε κοιτάζω όταν ξυπνάς
Κι ούτε που σκέφτηκα ποτέ πως θα ξεχάσεις

Παραμυθάκι μου σκληρό
Όπου κι αν είσαι και γυρνάς
Για μένα εκεί να μη ρωτάς
Εγώ σ' αγάπησα εδώ.

Πρώτη εκτέλεση: Σωκράτης Μάλαμας
Άλλες ερμηνείες: Μπάμπης Τσέρτος

Άλλα θέλω κι άλλα κάνω
πώς να σου το πω
έλεγα περνούν τα χρόνια
θα συμμορφωθώ.

Μα είναι δώρο άδωρο
ν' αλλάξεις χαρακτήρα
τζάμπα κρατάς λογαριασμό
τζάμπα σωστός με το στανιό.

Έξω φυσάει αέρας
κι όμως μέσα μου
μέσα σ' αυτό το σπίτι
πριγκιπέσα μου,
το φως σου και το φως
χορεύουν γύρω μας
απίστευτος ο κόσμος
κι ο χαρακτήρας μας.

Άλλα θέλω κι άλλα κάνω
κι έφτασα ως εδώ
λάθη στραβά και πάθη
μ' έβγαλαν σωστό.

Ξημερώματα στο δρόμο
ρίχνω πετονιά
πιάνω τον εαυτό μου
και χάνω το μυαλό μου.
