Anne Clark - Our Darkness

"Our Darkness" can be found in Anne Clark's third album 
called "Joined up Writing"
You can learn more about Anne Clark here in wikipedia.org:



Through these city nightmares you'd walk with me
And we'd talk of it with idealistic assurance
That it wouldn't tear us apart
We'd keep our heads above the blackened water
But there's no room for ideals in this mechanical place
And you're gone now

Through a grimy window that I can't keep clean
Through billowing smoke that's swallowed the sun
You're nowhere to be seen

Do you think our desires still burn
I guess it was desires that tore us apart
There has to be passion
A passion for living, surviving
And that means detachment
Every-body has a weapon to fight you with
To beat you with when you are down
There were too many defence between us
Doubting all the time
Fearinf all the time
Doubting all the time
Fearinf all the time
That like these urban nightmares
We'd blacken each other skies

When we passed the subway we tried to ignore our fate there
Of written threats on endless walls
Unjustified crimes carried on stifled calls
Would you walk with me now through this pouring rain
It used to mingle with our tears then dry with the hopes
That we left behind
It rains even harder now

called In the Court of the Crimson King.
You can learn more for this album here in wikipedia.org:



Said the straight man to the late man
"Where have you been?"
I've been here and I've been there
And I've been in between

I talk to the wind
My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind
The wind does not hear, the wind cannot hear

I'm on the outside looking inside
What do I see
Much confusion, disillusion
All around me

I talk to the wind
My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind
The wind does not hear, the wind cannot hear

You don't possess me don't impress me
Just upset my mind
Can't instruct me or conduct me
Just use up my time

I talk to the wind
My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind
The wind does not hear, the wind cannot hear
I talk to the wind
My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind
The wind does not hear, the wind cannot hear

Said the straight man to the late man
"Where have you been?"
I've been here and I've been there
And I've been in between

Baby
I finally know what im going after
I'm learning to let in all the laughter
Holy Moley youre so funnny
You Crack me up, you crack me up
Look out for dreams that keep returning
'Cause magic aint no hand-me-down yearning
You feel it, you want it, the way I want you babe
Traveling by choo-choo train
We know where we just dont know when
Like some everlasting onion that I love
Never heard a better bad joke said outloud
You flip-flop and I wall out
Can you believe it
I cant believe it but it's true
You're giving eighty billion years of giggling
A whole new world to live in
But this one's real, this one's real, this one's real
Like some hog tied Kangaroos
You be one and I'll be one too
We play it goofy or we play it cool
Everything that happened
You know it don't mean a thing to us
'Cause so much is gonna happen
Because
You showed me a sunset overflowing
But who cares where it's going
As long as you're next to me

Σεισμός - Νικόλας Άσιμος & Αθηναϊκή Κομπανία

"Σεισμός" είναι το 10ο τραγούδι απο το δίσκο "ο Ξαναπές" του Νικόλα Άσιμου
 ο οποίος εκδόθηκε το Νοέμβρη του 1982.
Μπορείτε να μάθετε περισσότερα για το Νικόλα Άσιμο εδώ στο wikipedia.org:



Και τώρα το τελευταίο μας μήνυμα.
Αφιερωμένο σε κάθε λογής περιθώριους,
παραπεριθώριους και φλαμπουροκουβαλήστρες
σ' όλους αυτούς που πολεμήσαν.

Μόνο ένας σεισμός μας σώζει, φοβερός κατακλυσμός
μαϊντανός να γίνουν όλα, να χαθεί ο πολιτισμός.
Όπως η Ατλαντίς.

Η ισοπέδωση με έκανε κι εμένα καραφλό, φοράω κάσκα
εσύ μου πας στο σινεράμα, Κρίσνα Χάρε
κι εγώ, σοφός μ' ένα στομάχι φερμουάρ,
να μένει πάντοτε κλειστό όταν πεινάει,
μα και στη λόξα του να λέει au revoir.

Άμα δε σου πέσει η μούρη πως μωρέ θ' αντιληφθείς
τι σου λέει ένας σαμάνος κι ένας οραματιστής.
Όπως η Ατλαντίς.

Η ισοπέδωση με έφαγε κι ας ήμουνα βουνό, μου `καναν μπάνιο
η επανάσταση η όλη του πλανήτη,
ούτε ένα ράφι να μου φτιάξει δεν μπορεί,
απολογήσου μπρος σε μένα τον νεφρίτη,
μη βολοδέρνεις μες στο ψέμα σου μωρή.

Τώρα μαστουριάστε όλοι με τραγούδια του τεκέ
μοναχά τεκέ δεν βρίσκεις που να βρεις και ναργιλέ.
Όπως και Ατλαντίς.

Αν το πολύ το κύριε ελέησον το βαριέται κι ο θεός, εγώ τι φταίω;
Αντίς να φτιάξουνε σε μένα εκκλησίες
να με λατρέψουν σαν συμπέρασμα γυμνό
χωρίς θεόλογα και παπαδοπορδίες
παν και τις φτιάχνουνε στον ίδιο το θεό.

Μόνο ένας σεισμός μας σώζει, απ' το πλέγμα δηλαδής
μαϊντανός να γίνουν όλα, να βουλιάξει όλη η γης.
Όπως η Ατλαντίς.

Gonna kick him on down the line

All our scribbled love dreams, lost or thrown away
Here amidst the shuffle of an overflowin' day
Our love needs a transfusion, so let's shoot it full of wine
Fishin' for a good time starts with throwin' in your line

 Let's put a new coat of paint, on this lonesome old town
Set 'em up, set 'em up, we'll be knockin' em down
You wear a dress, baby, I'll wear a tie
We'll laugh at that old bloodshot moon in that burgundy sky.

You can learn more about this song here in wikipedia.org:


Tommy gun, you ain't happy less you got one
Tommy gun, ain't gonna shoot the place up just for fun
Maybe he wants to die for the money
Maybe he wants to kill for his country
Whatever he wants, he's gonna get it

Tommy gun, you better strip it down for a custom run
Tommy gun, waiting in the airport 'till kingdom come
And we can watch you make it on the nine o'clock news
Standing there in Palestine lighting the fuse
Whatever you want, you're gonna get it

Tommy gun, Tommy gun

Tommy gun, you'll be dead when your war is won
Tommy gun, but did you have to gun down everyone?
I can see it's kill or be killed, a nation of destiny has got to be fulfilled
Whatever you want, you're gonna get it

Tommy gun, you can be a hero in an age of none
Tommy gun, I'm cutting out your picture from page one
I'm gonna get a jacket just like yours and give my false support to your cause
Whatever you want, you're gonna get it
Alright

Ok, so that’s agreed, about the price
I make it one two, ten dollar
For ten, reasonable
And boats and tanks and planes, it's your game
Kings and queens and generals learn your name
And I see all the innocents, the human sacrifice
And if death comes so cheap then the same goes for life

With a way-out body underneath that head
Yeah I'll get you baby with a little luck
Cuz I'm a teenage tiger and an goo-goo muck
You better duck, when I show up, the goo-goo muck.

The city is a jungle and I'm a beast

Cuz I'm a goo-goo muck tiger and a teenage beast

You can learn more about this album here in wikipedia.org:


Dark night, there is no light
In the realm of the black magic man
Soul's flight into the cold blight
Of the destroyer's magic land
Poor man, whose spirits are stronger
They're the ones who will reign
You're struggles are in vain
Blind man, you're suckin' your own blood
Soon black magic's dying
You'd better start crying
Blind man, you're suckin' your own blood
Soon black magic's dying
You better start crying
Throw out your evil desire
The dark king's kingdom is
Made out of mire
Throw out your evil desire
The dark king's kingdom is
Made out of mire
Keep on for the kingdom of light
There is no darkness, there is no night

 It was the first single from the album, reaching number one 
 for five weeks, starting 15 December 1990.
You can learn more about this song here in wikipedia.org:



Some people get by with a little understanding
Some people get by with a whole lot more
I don't know, why you gotta be so undemanding
One thing I know, I want more, I want more
And I need all the love that I can't get to
And I need all the love I can get
And I need all the love that I can't get to
D'you get scared to feel so much?
To let somebody touch you?
So hot, so cold, so far so out of control
Hard to come by, and harder to hold
Some people get by with a little understanding
Some people get by with a whole lot more
I don't know, why you gotta be so undemanding
I want more
And I need all the love I can get
And I need all the love that I can't get to
And I need all the love I can get
And I need all the love that I can't get to
There are parts of me that don't get nervous
Not the parts that shake
You won't get what you deserve
You are what you take
Learning to cry for fun and profit
I'm not done yet
Counterfeit dollars or the English Zloty
Anything I can get
Some people get by with a little understanding
Some people get by with a whole lot more
I don't know, why you gotta be so undemanding
One thing I know, I want more
And I need all the love I can get
And I need all the love that I can't get to
And I need all the love I can get
And I need all the love that I can't get to
And I need all the love I can get
And I need all the love that I can't get to
And I need all the love I can get
And I need all the love that I can't get to
And I need all the love I can get
And I need all the love that I can't get to
And I need all the love I can get
And I need all the love that I can't get to
And I need all the love I can get
And I need all the love that I can't get to
And I need all the love I can get
And I need all the love that I can't get to
And I need all the love I can get
And I need all the love that I can't get to
And I need all the love I can get
And I need all the love that I can't get to
And I need all the love I can get
And I need all the love that I can't get to
Can't get to
And I need all the love
That you can guess...

"Over the Hills and Far Away" is the third track from English rock band
You can learn more about this song here in wikipedia.org:


Hey Lady, you got the love I need,
May Be, more than enough.
Oh, Darlin', Darlin', Darlin', walk a while with me,
Oh, you got so much, so much, so much.

Many have I loved, and many times been bitten,
many times I've gazed along the open road.

Many times I've lied and many times I've listened,
many times I've wondered how much there is to know.

Many dreams come true and some have silver linings
I live for my dream and a pocketful of gold.

Mellow is the man who knows what he's been missin',
many many men can't see MY open road.

Many is a word that only leaves you guessin',
Guessin' 'bout a thing you really ought to know.
You really ought to know.
I really ought to know.

 The song details a romantic encounter between a young man and a possible transvestite 
or transgender person he meets in a club in Soho.
You can learn more about this song here in wikipedia.org:



I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola
C-o-l-a cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola
L-o-l-a Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

Well I'm not the worlds most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man
Oh my Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

Well we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
And said dear boy wont you come home with me
Well I'm not the worlds most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes well I almost fell for my Lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

I pushed her away
I walked to the door
I fell to the floor
I got down on my knees
Then I looked at her and she at me

Well that's the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my Lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for Lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

Well I left home just a week before
And I'd never ever kissed a woman before
But Lola smiled and took me by the hand
And said dear boy I'm gonna make you a man

Well I'm not the worlds most masculine man
But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man
And so is Lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

You can learn more about this song here in wikipedia.org:



Did you hear about the Midnight Rambler?
Ev'rybody got to go
Did you heard about the Midnight Rambler,
the one that shut the kitchen door?

He don't give a hoot of warning
wrapped up in a black cat cloak
He don't go in the light of the morning
He's split, the time the cook'rel crows

Talkin' 'bout the Midnight Rambler,
the one you never seen before
Talkin' 'bout the midnight gambler
Did you see him jump the garden wall?
Sighin' down the wind softly
Listen and you hear him moan

Talkin' 'bout the midnight gambler
Ev'rybody got to go
Did you hear about the midnight gambler?
Well, honey, it's no rock'n'roll show

Talkin' 'bout the Midnight Rambler,
the one you never seen before
Oh, don't do that
Oh, don't do that
Oh, don't do that

Did you hear about the Midnight Rambler?
He'll leave his footprints up and down your hall
Did you hear about the Midnight Rambler?
Did you see me make my midnight call

And if you catch the Midnight Rambler
I'll steal your mistress from under your nose
Well, go easy with your cold fandango
I'll stick my knife right down your throat
Baby, and it hurts!

 as the lead single from their second album, The Score
You can learn more about this song here in wikipedia.org:


We used to be number 10
Now we're permanent one
In the battle lost my finger, Mic became my arm
Pistol nozzle hits your nasal, blood becomes lukewarm
Tell the woman be easy Naah squeeze the Charmin
Test Wyclef, see death flesh get scorned
Beat you so bad make you feel like you ain't wanna be born
And tell your friends stay the hell out of my lawn
Chicken George became Dead George stealin' chickens from my farm
Damn, Another dead pigeon
If your mafiosos then I'm bringin' on Haitian Sicilians
Nobody's shootin', my body's made of hand grenade
Girl bled to death while she was tongue-kissing a razor blade
That sounds sick maybe one eday I'll write a horror
Blackula comes to the ghetto, jacks an Acura
Stevie Wonder sees Crack Babies Becoming Enemies of their own families
What's going on?
Armageddon come you know we soon done
Gun by my side just in case I gotta rump
A boy on the side of Babylon, trying to front like he's down with Mount Zion
Oooh La La La, It's the way that we rock when we're doing our thang
Oooh La La La, It's the natural LA that the Refugees Bring
Oooh La La La La La La Lalala La Laaah, Sweet Thing
Yeah in saloons we drink Boone's and battle goons 'till high noon
Bust rap toons on flat spoons, take no shorts like poon poon's
See hoochies pop coochies, for Gucci's and Lucci
Find me in my Mitsubishi, eatin' sushi, bumpin' Fugees
Hey Hey Hey
Try to take the crew and we don't play play
Say say say
Like Paul McCartney, not hardly
Oddly enough
I can see right through your bluff
Niggas huff and they puff but they can't handle us, we bust
Cause we fortified, I could never hide, seen "Cooley High", Cried when Cochise died
I'm twisted, black-listed by some other negroes
Don't remove my Polos on the first episode
Ha Ha Ha Ha, You shouldn't diss refugees, and
Ha Ha Ha Ha, You whole sound set's bootie , and
Ha Ha Ha Ha, You have to respect Jersey, 'cause I'm superfly when I'm super high on
The Fu-Gee-La
Oooh La La La, It's the way that we rock when we're doing our thang
Oooh La La La, It's the natural LA that the Refugees Bring
Oooh La La La La La La Lalala La Laaah, Sweet Thing
I sit 90 degrees underneath palm trees
Smokin' beadies as I burn my calories
Brooklyn roof tops become Brooklyn tee-pees
Who that be, enemies, wanna see the death of me
From Hawaii to Hawthorne, I run marathons, like
Buju Banton, I'm a true champion, like
Farakkhan reads his Daily Koran it's a phenomenon, lyrics fast like Ramadan
What's goin' on
Armageddon come you know we soon done
Gun by my side just in case I gotta rump
A boy on the side of Babylon, trying to front like he's down with Mount Zion
What's goin' on
Armageddon come you know we soon done
Gun by my side just in case I gotta rump
A boy on the side of Babylon, trying to front like he's down with Mount Zion
Oooh La La La, It's the way that we rock when we're doing our thang
Oooh La La La, It's the natural LA that the Refugees Bring
Oooh La La La La La La Lalala La Laaah, Sweet Thing
Oooh La La La, It's the way that we rock when we're doing our thang
Oooh La La La, It's the natural LA that the Refugees Bring
Oooh La La La La La La Lalala La Laaah, Sweet Thing

Jack White - I'm Shakin'

I'm Shakin' is the eighth track of the debut solo album 
"Blunderbuss" by Jack White, released on April 23, 2012. 
You can learn more about this album here in wikipedia.org:



Yeah, when you touch my Annotatehand and talk sweet talk
I got a knockin' in my knees and a wobble in my walk
And I'm tremblin'
That's right, you got me shakin'

When you take me in your arms and talk romance
My heart starts doin' that Saint Vitus dance

And I'm pantin'
Ohh and I'm shakin'

Early in the morning time
Late in the middle of the night
Whenever this chill comes over me
I wanna hug you with all of my might
That's right and I'm sweatin'
Oh, yeah you got me shakin'
Mmm, you got me sweatin'
Ohh, yeah you got me shakin' girl

A chill and a fever, so I've been told
Makes your head spin around and your feet run cold
I got fever, yeah
Fever yeah I burn forsooth

I feel like I been run right through the mill
And I can't move around and I can't stand still
I'm Bo Diddley
Oh, you got me shakin'

I'm so jittery
That's right, you got me shakin'

Well Samson was a mighty good man
Strongest in his day
(Then along came Delilah and clipped his wig)
And it looks like you took me the same old way

So I'm nervous
Oh and I'm shakin'
Alright, you got me nervous
Yeah I'm shakin' and jumpin'

A storm rocks a ship on a sea (A storm rocks a ship on a sea)
The wind shakes the leaves on a tree (The wind shakes the leaves on a tree)
And I'm a nervous wreck and I'm all shook up
And that's what you're doin' to me right now
And I'm jumpin'
That's right, you got me shakin'
Ohh and I'm jumpin'
That's right, you got me shakin'
Ohh, you got me shakin'
That's right, you got me nervous
But now I'm shakin'
Ohh, you got me shakin'

Iron Maiden - Remember Tomorrow

"Remember Tomorrow" by the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden 
is the second track from their debut album called also "Iron Maiden".
You can learn more about this album here in wikipedia.org:


Unchain the colours before my eyes,
Yesterday's sorrows, tomorrow's white lies.
Scan the horizon, the clouds take me higher,
I shall return from out of fire.

Tears for rememberance, and tears for joy,
Tears for somebody and this lonely boy.
Out in the madness, the all seeing eye,
Flickers above us, to light up the sky.

Unchain the colours before my eyes,
Yesterday's sorrows, tomorrow's white lies.
Scan the horizon, the clouds take me higher,
I shall return from out of fire.
