What went wrong in your head? While we slept in our beds, La la la la la la La la la la la la
What went wrong in your head? We played along with what you said, La la la la la la la La la la la la la la What went wrong in your head?
God save the unstable, they stand alone, Ain't done no wrong, it's such a beautiful life, I'll need some salvation, wave you on, Ain't done no harm, with a wonderful life,

On returning I can't believe this world is still turning The pressure's on Because the pleasure hasn't gone And I I'm not sorry for For the things i've done And I'm not looking for just anyone
On competing Oh, when will this tired heart stop beating? It's all a game Existence is only a game And I'm not sorry for For the things I've done And I'm not looking for just anyone
I'm slipping below the water line I'm slipping below the water line Reach for my hand, and, And the race is won Reject my hand, and The damage is done
I'm slipping below the water line I'm slipping below the water line
The woman of my dreams, she She never came along The woman of my dreams, well There never was one
And I'm not sorry for For the things I've said There's a wild man in my head There's a wild man in my head.
Well if this gets ugly, I’d swear, This ain’t our last chance, The vultures that circle, My head, Are flying alongside, The world’s turning.
I let somebody get under my skin, Long distance losing is all that I’ve seen, Now there’s a river, Now there’s a river.
Nothing can save me, My reserve betrayed me, It calmed the hurricanes, I’m burning to get there, The middle of nowhere, Storm warnings flicker while, The world’s turning,
I let somebody get under my skin, Long distance losing is all that I’ve seen, Now there’s a river, Now there’s a river.
I let somebody get under my skin, Long distance losing is all that I’ve seen, Now there’s a river, Now there’s a river
You are hardcore, you make me hard You name the drama and I'll play the part It seems I saw you in some teenage wet dream I like your get-up if you know what I mean I want it bad I want it now Oh can't you see I'm ready now I've seen all the pictures, I've studied them forever I wanna make a movie so let's star in it together Don't make a move 'til I say "Action" Oh here comes the Hardcore life Put your money where your mouth is tonight Leave your make-up on and I'll leave on the light Come over here babe and talk in the mic Oh yeah I hear you now It's gonna be one hell of a night You can't be a spectator. Oh no You got to take these dreams and make them whole Oh this is Hardcore - there is no way back for you Oh this is Hardcore - this is me on top of you and I can't believe it took me this long That it took me this long This is the eye of the storm It's what men in stained raincoats pay for but in here it is pure, yeah This is the end of the line I've seen the storyline played out so many times before Oh that goes in there Then that goes in there Then that goes in there Then that goes in there And then it's over Oh, what a hell of a show but what I want to know: what exactly do you do for an encore? Cos this is hardcore.
Queensryche - The Killing Words (acústico ao vivo)
Originalmente lançado no álbum "Rage For Order" (1986)
Espere por mim, eu entenderei Só preciso compreender suas mudanças Sempre houveram essas mudanças em você Me lembro que havia um tempo em que Os temores que tínhamos deixávamos para trás e dançávamos Mas parece que quanto mais aprendemos Aprendemos que
Acabou, acabou É perigoso esse jogo que jogamos Você está me matando com palavras
Esqueça se puder O modo como você se mexia quando nossas mãos se tocavam Você me forçava a forçar você Você se lembra dos sonhos, os pesadelos que compartilhávamos? O veneno do amor tão puro está enganando E engano é tudo que temos, isso tem de acabar
Acabou, acabou É perigoso este jogo que jogamos Você está me matando com palavras Acabou, acabou Tarde demais pra arriscar de novo, acabou
Tindersticks - Are You Trying To Fall In Love Again? (1997)
Do álbum "Curtains"
My my, it doesnt matter what you say From the start, I hang off every word you say Oh, tonight, are you trying to fall in love again? Does it make it all right? Are you trying to fall in love again? Now, Im a hard man gone soft The lines were so clear then How did I ever get by? There was a time I hang off every word you say
Every breath you blew, I was running to inhale Oh, tonight, are you trying to fall in love again? Does it make it all right? Are you trying to fall in love again?
My my, there will be other days
It comes and goes, you know it never stays Oh, tonight, are you trying to fall in love again? Oh, tonight, are you trying to fall in love again? Does it make it all right? Are you trying to fall in love again?
Makes good sense to me Proud men wear it only Brings good company How am I so lonely So run away The sun is outside of a world at play Awaiting the solid gold display Mysterious engines run To keep the dream from ending To cloak obscures the gun To keep what's worth defending The best of days The ones to remember are crumbling now The vandals come for rummage Affordable trends in anxiety Especially the ones that make you raw Portable men's society! Now I mention these things
No começo do século passado, Emily Pankhurst foi uma das fundadoras do movimento que lutou pelo direito do voto para as mulheres na Inglaterra.
O baixista Nicky Wire escreveu essa música após a Princesa Diana ter sido eleita ícone feminista no Reino Unido. Para ele, Emily Pankhurst teve mais importância do que Diana.
O vídeo foi dirigido por Patrick Jones, irmão de Nicky.
One more glass A million more days One more smoke Release me from my ways Break the mould Break youre back Break the promise you made Seek the world now Don't look back Make you're promise today Leave the safety Leave this life Leave before it's too late It's your only chance Don't pretend romance Keep the new promise you made What if I wasn't so scared ? Why can't I be brave ? I've forgotten all that we shared You can't give me what I crave One more glass Take another pill One more day I feel like I could kill What if you let me walk away ? You think it's me who needs to be saved Your life a tragic, self-centered play You never gave me what I craved What I want You can never give What you want My dead life to live Break the mould Break you're back Break the promise you made Seek the world now Don't look back Make you're promise today Leave the safety Leave this life Leave before it's too late It's your only chance Don't pretend romance Keep the new promise you made Break the mould Break you're back Break the promise you made Seek the world now Don't look back Make you're promise today Leave the safety Leave this life Leave before it's too late Seek the world now Don't look back Make your promise today Keep the new promise you made Keep the new promise you made
Os Guillemots retornam com o novo single "Kriss Kross". Aqui eles apostam na grandiosidade sonora e nos refrões agudos, seguindo a linha de "We're Here", mas numa levadinha mais agitada;
Trago também nessa lóclist outra banda inglesa, Delays, que lançou um EP no final do ano passado. Os Delays não são tão falados por aqui como os Guillemots, mas nem por isso são piores. O destaque do EP fica por conta da canção que leva o seu nome, "Love Made Visible";
No meio dessa nova geração dos anos 2000 estão os veteranos intrusos do rock norte-americano, Elf Power, também com material novo a ser lançado agora em Março. Já adianto aqui a excelente faixa "Spiral Stairs".
Da Europa, estou com os ouvidos voltados para a Dinamarca, de onde vem os Raveonettes. O som ardido da guitarra, mas com uma melodia que gruda fácil nos vocais de "You Want The Candy", é o que eu destaco do novo disco da dupla, "Lust, Lust, Lust";
E fecho essa lóclist com o Glasvegas, da Éscocia, que promete estourar em 2008, quando deverá sair o primeiro disco cheio, após a banda ter lançado três singles bons, o suficiente para fazer o seu nome na cena européia. O som é retrô, com influências da sonoridade dos anos 50 e 60, mas nem por isso soa velho. Quando ouvi pela primeira vez esses escoceses, tive a mesma sensação de quando ouvi pela primeira vez o Voxtrot: se não vierem para ficar na história da música, virão para ficar no meu player para todo o sempre. É sensacional!

Now we´ve entered New Britannia Lord don´t tell me Love won´t work I´ve seen my face Of course I know my place
Yes, I started life retarded Voices told me "take your chances" So I run through all the things I´ve said and done Is it too late to find someone? I lie in wait to be undone By anyone
In bars from perth to Hampstead we crowd And canonise the stupid Still proud, the pavements full, the praise is loud At last a victim well endowed With every quality allowed The truth will out
Some thrive, we try to keep ourselves alive Strike first, the rich must be deprived Or Highgate armies will arrive I´ve seen the right
Love won´t work We´ve lost the urge Love won´t work Now I come first Love won´t work We´ve lost the urge Love won´t work Now I come first
As far as I can see, you and I are valentines for all we know As far as I can see, you already bear the scars of love
These are the loaded words Spoken in coded terms If spoken at all
I’m outside your tower, baby – I can set you free What’s it gonna take to make you love me? I’ll do all that’s necessary – tell me what you need What’s it gonna take to make you love me? Flowers on flowers? Love and devotion? Hours and hours staring at the ocean?
As far as I can tell, you are well But I’m not sure that’s all you’re after As far as I can tell, you’re still running from the arms of love
Love is a loaded word Spoken in coded terms If spoken at all
I’m outside your tower, baby – I can set you free What’s it gonna take to make you love me? I’ll do all that’s necessary – tell me what you need What’s it gonna take to make you love me? Flowers on flowers? Love and devotion? Hours and hours staring at the ocean?
But some words carve through true I’m still in love with you Like the ocean…
Ocean’s a perfect word Spoken in perfect terms If spoken at all
I’m outside your tower, baby – I can set you free What’s it gonna take to make you love me? I’ll do all that’s necessary – tell me what you need What’s it gonna take to make you love me? Flowers on flowers? Love and devotion? Hours and hours staring at the ocean?
