Fool's overture
sábado, julho 10, 2010
(Churchill's famous speech)
We shall go on till the end, we shall fight on the seas and oceans.
We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be.
We shall **never** surrender
History recalls, how great the fall can be
While everybody's sleeping
The boat's put out to sea
Born on the wings of time
It seems the answers were so easy to find
Too late the prophets cry
The island's sinking, let's take to the sky
Called the man a fool
Stripped him off his pride
Everyone was laughing
Up untill the day he died
Ooh though the wound went deep
Still he's calling us out of our sleep
My friends, we're not alone
He waits in silence to lead us all home
So you tell me that you find it hard to grow
Well I know, I know, I know
And you tell me that you've many seeds to sow
Well I know, I know, I know
(distant choir sings 'Jerusalem' almost inaudibly)
And was the Holy Lamb of God
on England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the Countenance Divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
Dreamer
Can you hear what I'm saying
Can you see the parts that I'm playing:
Holy Man, Rocker Man, Come on Queenie,
Joker Man, Spider Man, Blue Eyed Meanie
So you found your solution
What would be your last contribution?
Live it up and rip it up and why so lazy?
Give it out and dish it out and let's go crazy, yeah

When I'm gone
No need to wonder if I ever think of you
The same moon shines
The same wind blows
For both of us, and time is but a paper moon...
Be not gone
Though I'm gone
It's just as though I hold the flower that touches you
A new life grows
The blossom knows
There's no one else could warm my heart as much as you...
Be not gone
Let us cling together as the years go by
Oh my love, my love
In the quiet of the night
Let our candle always burn
Let us never lose the lessons we have learned
Teo torriatte konomama iko
Aisuruhito yo
Shizukana yoi ni
Hikario tomoshi
Itoshiki oshieo idaki
Hear my song
Still think of me the way you've come to think of me
The nights grow long
But dreams live on
Just close your pretty eyes and you can be with me...
Dream on
Teo torriatte konomama iko
Aisuruhito yo
Shizukana yoi ni
Hikario tomoshi
Itoshiki oshieo idaki
When I'm gone
They'll say we're all fools and we don't understand
Oh be strong
Don't turn your heart
We're all
You're all
For all
For always
Let us cling together as the years go by
Oh my love, my love
In the quiet of the night
Let our candle always burn
Let us never lose the lessons we have learned

Walking Down The Sidewalk One Purple Afternoon,
I Was Accosted By A Barker Playing A Simple Tune Upon His Flute.
Toot toot toot toot.
Silver Rain Was Falling Down
Upon The Dirty Ground Of London Town.
People Pass Me By On My Imaginary Street,
Ordinary People It's Impossible To Meet,
Holding Conversations That Are Always Incomplete.
Well I Don't Know.
Oh, Where Are There Places To Go?
Someone, Somewhere Has To Know.
I'don't Know.
Out Of Work Again,The Actor Entertains His Wife
With The Same Old Stories Of His Ordinary Life.
Maybe He Exaggerates The Trouble And The Strife.
Well, I Don't Know.
Oh, Where Are There Places To Go?
Someone, Somewhere Has To Know.
Crawling Down The Pavement On A Sunday Afternoon,
I Was Arrested By A Rozzer
Wearing A Pink Balloon About His Foot.
Toot Toot Toot Toot.
Silver Rain Was Falling Down
Upon The Dirty Ground Of London Town.
Someone, Somewhere Has To Know.

Wonderful Tonight
sexta-feira, outubro 07, 2005
It's late in the evening
She's wonderin' what clothes to wear
She puts on her make-up
And brushes her long blond hair
And then she asks me, "Do I look all right?"
And I say yes, you look wonderful tonight
We go to a party
And everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady
walkin around with me
And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?"
And I say yes, I feel wonderful tonight
I feel wonderful because I see the love light in your eyes
And the wonder of it all is that you just don't realize how much
I love you
It's time to go home now
And I've got an achin' head
So I give her the car keys
And she helps me to bed
And then I tell her
As I turn out the light
I say my darlin', you were wonderful tonight
Oh, my darlin, you were wonderful tonight

Wish you were here
sexta-feira, julho 15, 2005
..
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell
Blue skys 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?
And 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
Swimmin' 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
Oh, how I wish you were here
How I wish
How I wish you were here
Running over the same old ground
What have we found?
The same old fears
wish you were here

Atlantis
quinta-feira, março 17, 2005
The continent of Atlantis was an island
Which lay before the great flood
In the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean.
So great an area of land,
That from her western shores
Those beautiful sailors journeyed
To the South and the North Americas with ease,
In their ships with painted sails.
To them East Africa was a neighbour,
Across a short strait of sea miles.
The great Egyptian age is
But a remnant of The Atlantian culture.
The antediluvian kings colonised the world
All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas
In all legends from all lands were from far Atlantis.
Knowing her fate,
Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth.
On board were the Twelve:
The poet, the physician, The farmer, the scientist,
The magician and the other so-called Gods of our legends.
Though Gods they were -
And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind
Let us rejoice
And let us sing
And dance and ring in the new Hail Atlantis!
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be,
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be,
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be.
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be,
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be.
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah,
I wanna see you some day
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah,
My antediluvian baby,
My antediluvian baby, I love you, girl,
Girl, I wanna see you some day.
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah
I wanna see you some day, oh My antediluvian baby.
My antediluvian baby, I wanna see you
My antediluvian baby, gotta tell me where she gone
I wanna see you some day Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up,
oh yeah Oh club club, down down, yeah
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah yeah yeah

"A vida é uma peça de teatro
que não permite ensaios.
Por isso, cante, chore, dance,
ria e viva intensamente,
antes que a cortina se feche
e a peça termine sem aplausos".
Charlie Chaplin
Fizeram a gente acreditar
sábado, novembro 06, 2004
..
"Fizeram a gente acreditar que amor mesmo, amor pra valer, só
acontece uma vez, geralmente antes dos 30 anos. Não contaram
pra nós que amor não é acionado, nem chega com hora marcada.
Fizeram a gente acreditar que cada um de nós é a metade de
uma laranja, e que a vida só ganha sentido quando encontramos
a outra metade. Não contaram que já nascemos inteiros, que
ninguém em nossa vida merece carregar nas costas a
responsabilidade de completar o que nos falta: a gente cresce
através da gente mesmo. Se estivermos em boa companhia, é só
mais agradável.
Fizeram a gente acreditar numa fórmula chamada "dois em um":
duas pessoas pensando igual, agindo igual, que era isso que
funcionava. Não nos contaram que isso tem nome: anulação. Que
só sendo indivíduos com personalidade própria é que poderemos
ter uma relação saudável.
Fizeram a gente acreditar que casamento é obrigatório e que
desejos fora de hora devem ser reprimidos.
Fizeram a gente acreditar que os bonitos e magros são mais
amados, que os que transam pouco são caretas, que os que
transam muito não são confiáveis, e que sempre haverá um
chinelo velho para um pé torto. Só não disseram que existe
muito mais cabeça torta do que pé torto.
Fizeram a gente acreditar que só há uma fórmula de ser feliz,
a mesma para todos, e os que escapam dela estão condenados à
marginalidade. Não nos contaram que estas fórmulas dão
errado, frustram as pessoas, são alienantes, e que podemos
tentar outras alternativas.
Ah, também não contaram que ninguém vai contar isso tudo pra
gente. Cada um vai ter que descobrir sozinho. E aí, quando
você estiver muito apaixonado por você mesmo, vai poder ser
muito feliz e se apaixonar por alguém.
