SALLY

May I say one fine day

If you say you would we could run away

Just say goodbye with no cloud in the sky

This time sunshine we're gonna fly
You can hear the whistle blow

There's noone gonna know

Take my hand and

We can softly go
When the stars come out to shine

You are gonna be mine

Sure as a love that's just

We are gonna be fine
bridge
Just take my hand

And try to Understand

We'll fly honey pie

Into wonderland
And if you want me to

I'll come back with you

Sure as a love that's just

I love you

Weird Fishes/Arpeggi

In the deepest ocean
The bottom of the sea
Your eyes
They turn me
Why should I stay here?
Why should I stay?

I'd be crazy not to follow
Follow where you lead
Your eyes
They turn me

Turn me on to phantoms
I follow to the edge of the earth
And fall off
Everybody leaves
If they get the chance

And this is my chance

I get eaten by the worms
Weird fishes
Picked over by the worms
Weird fishes
Weird fishes
Weird fishes

I'll hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape
Escape

I'll hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape
Escape

Decía Neil Hannon en su canción Count Grassiís Passage Over Piedmont "If I’m to die then let it be in summertime". Escuchando esta canción me daría igual hacerlo en cualquier estación de año. Es muy extraña esa sensación tan ambigua, sentir como la canción te lleva completamente hacia abajo, te desnuda de cualquier sensación de felicidad, y cuando te encuentras completamente destrozado entonces encuentras la felicidad al estar acompañado por una maravillosa melodía.

Yorke y compañía me vuelven a emocionar y además sin tener la sensación de que me están robando (y no por culpa de los músicos precisamente) al comprar el disco. Radiohead se adelantaron con su OK Computer y ahora se adelantan en la forma de vender este maravilloso In Rainbows.

CLOSE YOUR EYES

Close your eyes
and don´t you make a sound.
There´s no worries now.
(x2)
There´s no one else around,
to hear you cry.
You´re so asleep.
Again, tonight.
Close your eyes
and don´t you make a sound.
There´s no worries now.
(x2)
There´s no one else around,
to hear you cry.
You´re so asleep.
Again, tonight.

Absent Friends

Absent Friends

Absent friends, here’s to them

And happy days, we thought that they would never end.

Here’s to absent friends.

Little Jean Seberg seemed

So full of life, but in those eyes such troubled dreams.

Poor little Jean.Woodbine Willie couldn’t rest until he’d

Given every bloke a final smoke before the killing.

Old Woodbine Willie.

Steve McQueen jumped the first one clean

But the great escape he’d tried to make was not to be.

Maybe next time Steve.

Laika flew through inky blue

‘Til Laika neared the atmosphere and Laika knew

Laika’s life was through.

Oscar Wilde was a lonely child.

He fought and won acceptance from the world.

They smiled, they laughed, they praised,

They drove poor Oscar to his grave.

Absent friends, here’s to them,

And happy days, we thought that they would never end,

But they always end.

Raise your glasses then to absent friends.

Take You On A Cruise

I'm timeless like a broken watch

And make money like Fred Astaire

I see that you've come to resist me

I'm a pitbull in time

The pretence is not what restricts me

It's the circles inside

An anatomy of kisses

And a teacher who tries

And knows how we'll disappear

Would you like to be my Missus

And a future with child

You know we can't get back from here

We can get away

Baby won't you try to find me

Baby won't you try to fight

Baby won't you try to find me

Maybe it will be alright

Along the way

Tears drown in the wake of delight

There's nothing like this built today

You'll never see a finer ship in your life

We sail today

Tears drown in the wake of delight

There's nothing like this built today

You'll never see a finer ship

Or see a better tip in your life

I am the scavenger

Between the sheets of union

Lately I can't tell for sure

It seems like anyone

Are you the scavenger?

Between the sheets of union

Lately I can't tell for sure

It seems like anyone

Lady won't you try to find me

Lady there is no need to fight

Lady won't you try to find me

Lady it will be alright

We sail today

Tears drown in in the wake of delight

There's nothing like this built today

You'll never see a finer ship in your life

Along the way

The sea will crowd us with lovers at night

There's nothing like this built today

You'll never see a finer ship

Or receive a better tip in your life

I see that you've come to resist me

I'm a pitbull in time

White Goddess, red Goddess

Black temptress of the sea, you treat me right

Black Goddess, red Goddess

White temptress of the sea, you treat me right

Oh my love is sailing to Norway.

All my love we're leaving tonight

White Goddess, black Goddess

Red temptress of the sea, you treat me right

White Goddess, red Goddess

Black Temptress of the sea, you treat me right

Finer Feelings

Memphis comes creeping down my back
 Somehow this place tastes just like an attack
 A hundred-yard-stare of a kiss
 Lord, I know I'll never miss it
 
 They told me stop scouting the field
 They told me have a look in Commercial Appeal
 And start getting that hair cut sharp
 
 Sometimes I think that I'll find a love
 One that's gonna change my heart
 I'll find it in Commercial Appeal
 And then this heartache'll get chased away
 
 I was part-time at the Tasty Prawn
 That and moving furniture and cutting lawns
 Covered in newsprint, staying up real late
 Just holding out for some fate
 
 Sometimes I think that I'll find a love
 One that's gonna change my heart
 I'll find it in Commercial Appeal
 And then this heartache'll get chased away
 [x2]
 
 I was dreaming in the driver's seat
 When the right words just came to me
 And all my finer feelings came up
 
 Always out on some witch's hunt
 For the one who never lets me want
 Before you know it it's all fuss
 
 Sometimes I think that I'll find a love
 One that's gonna change my heart
 I'll find it in Commercial Appeal
 And then this heartache'll get chased away
 [x2]
