MY CURSE (Greg Dulli)



You hurt me baby
I flinch so when you do
Your kisses scourge me
Hyssop in your perfume
Oh, I do not fear you
And slave I only use
As a word to describe the special way I feel for you
You look like me
And I look like no one else
We need no other
As long as we have ourselves
But I won't cry about it
Every time you get obsessed
Every time I came undressed
All ugly thoughts are gone
I'm sure we'll all be friends
I'll try to break your back
You'll try to make amends
Curse softly to me baby
And smother me in your love
Temptation comes not from hell but from above
And there's blood on my teeth
When I bite my tongue to speak
Zip me down, kiss me there
I can smile now
You won't find out ever
Hurt me baby
I flinch so when you do
Your kisses scourge me
Hyssop in your perfume
Oh I do not fear you
And slave I only use as a word to describe
The way I feel when I'm with you
If I have to lie about it everytime I came undressed

wow!

TRAIL OF TEARS (Tyla)



When I come round with a bottle inside myself
An all my pride has gone, locked away on some shelf
When my instinct becomes, yeah, yeah, what was once the truth
Many moons that fade away

Well, now it´s all gone, blown away
Like the desert sand, oh, never meant to stay
Oh, there is nothing left, there is nothing here
Just a trail of tears, yeah
Trail of tears, yeah, yeah
A trail of tears, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, yeah
Trail of tears, yeah

Open up my wounds and take a look inside
You could cover the whole land with the tears she´s got to hide
My memories cut deep, oh, yeah, with a silver knife
The legend opens up its arms and takes another life

Trail of tears, yeah
Trail of tears, yeah
Trail of tears, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, yeah


Well, now it´s all gone and I don´t know why
And all that remains is the pain, oh, is that last war cry


The pain, the shame
It all comes back again
The pain
F
Oh, the trail of tears
(Trail of tears)

Bobby said that
Bobby said that
It´ll be alright

Down on Laguna Beach they used to bury their secrets deep
And Bobby always said "It´ll be alright"

So many lies

I'll Be Your mirror ( Lou Reed )

I'll be your mirror
Reflect what you are, in case you don't know
I'll be the wind, the rain and the sunset
The light on your door to show that you're home
When you think the night has seen your mind
That inside you're twisted and unkind
Let me stand to show that you are blind
Please put down your hands
'Cause I see you
I find it hard to believe you don't know
The beauty that you are
But if you don't let me be your eyes
A hand in your darkness, so you won't be afraid
When you think the night has seen your mind
That inside you're twisted and unkind
Let me stand to show that you are blind
Please put down your hands
'Cause I see you
I'll be your mirror

grande Isy....

Until the philosophy which hold one race superior
And another
Inferior
Is finally
And permanently
Discredited
And abandoned -
Everywhere is war -
Me say war.

That until there no longer
First class and second class citizens of any nation
Until the colour of a man's skin
Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes -
Me say war.

That until the basic human rights
Are equally guaranteed to all,
Without regard to race -
Dis a war.

That until that day
The dream of lasting peace,
World citizenship
Rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion to be pursued,
But never attained -
Now everywhere is war - war.

And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes
that hold our brothers in Angola,
In Mozambique,
South Africa
Sub-human bondage
Have been toppled,
Utterly destroyed -
Well, everywhere is war -
Me say war.

War in the east,
War in the west,
War up north,
War down south -
War - war -
Rumours of war.
And until that day,
The African continent
Will not know peace,
We Africans will fight - we find it necessary -
And we know we shall win
As we are confident
In the victory

....Come saprete sicuramente, questo è parte di un famoso discorso di hailè sallassie,da cui bob marley trasse ispirazione per comporre quella che secondo me è una delle sue più belle canzoni....
...forse non è proprio rock&roll,ma sicuramente è poesia.....


e=18][/size]

una delle mie canzoni preferite...
ma sbaglio o ti piacciono Lou Reed... Velvet Underground... :wink:
ciao isone, a presto!

sleazy, questo è un gran bel topic, uno di quelli che non finirà mai...
grazie!

speriamo

BODY

some girls with sticky fingers, have driven me out of my head:
honky tonk women with faraway eyes have given me shelter instead, can't get satisfaction from lady jane or miss amanda jones, that crasy mama angie I asked her to please go home, ruby tuesday was hot stuff negrita she's so cold like ice, that hand of fate gave me stray cat blues;
I'm a monkey man tumbling dice
RITA
ma non è farina del mio sacco.......

.....questa è la traduzione di war (vedi sopra).....
per chi non dovesse conoscerla o averla presente,spingerei per un'ascolto...


Finché la filosofia che considera una razza superiore
e un’altra inferiore non sarà finalmente
screditata e riprovata...
Finché in nessuna nazione vi saranno più cittadini di
prima e di seconda classe...
Finché il colore della pelle di un uomo non avrà più
valore del colore dei suoi occhi...
Finché i diritti umani fondamentali non saranno
ugualmente garantiti a tutti, senza distinzione di razza...
Fino a quel giorno, il sogno di una pace duratura,
la cittadinanza del mondo e le regole della morale
internazionale resteranno solo una fuggevole
illusione, perseguita e mai conseguita...
E finché l’ignobile e drammatico regime che oggi
opprime i nostri fratelli in Angola, in Mozambico,
in Sudafrica, con le sue disumane catene, non sarà
rovesciato e totalmente spazzato via...
Fino a quel giorno il Continente africano non conoscerà
pace. Noi africani, combatteremo, se necessario,
e sappiamo che vinceremo,
poiché confidiamo nella vittoria
del Bene sul Male,
del Bene sul Male...

All I know is something like a bird within her sang,
All I know she sang a little while and then flew on,
Tell me all that you know, I'll show you snow and rain.

If you hear that same sweet song again, will you know why?
Anyone who sings a tune so sweet is passin' by,
Laugh in the sunshine, sing, cry in the dark, fly through the night.

Don't cry now, don't you cry, don't you cry anymore.
Sleep in the stars, don't you cry, dry your eyes on the wind.

The Grateful Dead - Bird Song

Love of my life, you hurt me,
You broken my heart, now you leave me.

Love of my life cant you see,
Bring it back bring it back,
Dont take it away from me,
Because you dont know what it means to me.

Love of my life dont leave me,
Youve stolen my love now desert me,

Love of my life cant you see,
Bring it back bring it back,
Dont take it away from me,
Because you dont know what it means to me.

You will remember when this is blown over,
And everythings all by the way,
When I grow older,
I will be there by your side,
To remind how I still love you
I still love you.

Hurry back hurry back,
Dont take it away from me,
Because you dont know what it means to me.

Love of my life,
Love of my life.

(Queen: Love Of My Life)

Il topic è cambiato: è diventato semplicemente un topic di testi di canzoni!!
L'unico che ha capito lo spirito del post è stato Isy!!
Se fosse stato "testi poetici" allora sarebbero stati più o meno pertinenti tutti, ma in una "love of my life" o in "war" (per quanto quest'ultima sia bella!) non esiste traccia di R'n'R

Scusate...anzi no:scusate che?????

Capito, Sleazy...
Fatemi pensare un pò, allora :wink:
