Sandi Thom - I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker

 Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In seventy-seven and sixty-nine revolution was in the air
I was born too late into a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

When the head of state didn't play guitar
Not everybody drove a car
When music really mattered and when radio was king
When accountants didn't have control
And the media couldn't buy your soul
And computers were still scary and we didn't know everything

Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In seventy-seven and sixty-nine revolution was in the air
I was born too late into a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

When pop stars still remained a myth
And ignorance could still be bliss
And when god saved the queen she turned a whiter shade of pale
My mom and dad were in their teens
And anarchy was still a dream
And the only way to stay in touch was a letter in the mail

Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In seventy-seven and sixty-nine revolution was in the air
I was born too late into a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

When record shops were still on top
And vinyl was all that they stocked
And the super info highway was still drifting out in space
Kids were wearing hand me downs
And playing games meant kick arounds
And footballers still had long hair and dirt across their face

Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In seventy-seven and sixty-nine revolution was in the air
I was born too late into a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
I was born too late into a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

Tony Bennett - Stranger In Paradise

 (download)

Take my hand
I'm a stranger in paradise
All lost in a wonderland
A stranger in paradise
If I stand starry-eyed
That's a danger in paradise
For mortals who stand beside an angel like you

I saw your face and I ascended
Out of the common place into the rare somewhere
In space I hang suspended
Until I know there's a chance that you care

Won't you answer this fervent prayer
Of a stranger in paradise
Don't send me in dark despair
From all that I hunger for

But open your angel's arms
To this stranger in paradise
And tell him that he need be
A stranger no more

Cassandra Wilson - Tupelo Honey

 You can take all the tea in China
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail right around all the seven oceans
Drop it straight into the deep blue sea

He's as sweet as tupelo honey
He's an angel of the first degree
He's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like the honey from the bee

You can't stop us on the road to freedom
You can't stop us 'cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armour bent on chivalry

He's as sweet as tupelo honey
He's an angel of the first degree
He's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like the honey from the bee

You can't stop us on the road to freedom
You can't stop us 'cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armour bent on chivalry

He's as sweet as tupelo honey
He's an angel of the first degree
He's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like the honey from the bee

He's an angel who came down from heaven, yes?
He's an angel of the first degree
He's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like the honey from the bee

Just like the honey from the bee
Just like the honey from the bee

Freak Power - Turn on, Tune in, Cop Out
Some people been driving to fast
Some people still having a gas
But if there’s one thing you gotta conceed,
You gotta know who’s driving you car,
You get to fifth gear with you foot on the floor
Or else you’re starring in “a cruise too far”.

Turn on, tune in, cop out.
Let it flow now mama,
Let it flow become a woman.

Some people been wasting their time
Some people expanding their minds
But if you’ve known love like the jokers before
The you’re likely to be home on the range
No more the cowboy gosta flaunt his wares
He’s been grazing on a different plain.

Turn on, tune in, cop out
Let it flow now mama
Let it flow become a woman

I’t easy to see why there’s a thousands of people
Are regularily turning it out
It’s easy to find when you mess with your mind
That you’ve gone beyond a resonable doubt…
Turn on tune in cop out
Let if flow now mama
Let it flow become a woman.

Мегаполис - Высоко вдали

 (download)

"Высоко вдали лежит белый снег,
Высоко вдали кого-то ждут,
Высоко вдали летают лишь птицы теперь,
Высоко вдали", - тебе я скажу, тебе я скажу...

"Высоко вдали не часто встретишься с песней", -
Тебе я шепчу, пытаясь петь. -
Высоко вдали меня слушают,
И шёпот становится песней высоко вдали.

Jehro - Long is the Way
Oh Lord
I made it through
I'm gonna lay down my load
One more mile or two
Can't escape from my fate no
 
Long is the way x4
 
All clad in silk and gold
I have seen kings and their queens
With just one single golden thread
I could have woven dreams
I've dug for gold it's true
And those kings granted loans
But I'm still empty-handed
Now I'm heading home
 
Long is the way x4
 
Set sail long ago
Pledged to fortune and fame
And the woman that I will face
Shoulders bent in shame
Almost hope that she broke
Solemn promise she made to me
Save her hand for a rich man
In vain, in vain, for me
 
Long is the way x4
 
There's a car coming this way
It's the first in a line
With a sense of foreboding
I try to see inside
My eyes meet through the bridal veil
Those that I left behind
Both our hearts have stopped beating
Two promises have died
 
Long is the way,
Long is the way,
Long is the way,
Long is the way.

Frank Sinatra - P.S. I Love You
What is there to write? What is there to say?
Same things happen everyday, not a thing to write, not a thing to say,
So I take my pen in hand and start the same old way.

Dear, I thought I'd drop a line, the weather's cool, the folks are fine,
I'm in bed each night at nine, P.S. I love you.

Yesterday we had some rain, but all in all, I can't complain,
Was it dusty on the train, P.S. I love you.

Write to the Browns just as soon as you're able,
They came around to call, and I burned a hole in the dining room table,
And let me see, I guess that's all.

Nothing else for me to say, and so I'll close but by the way,
Everybody's thinking of you, P.S. I love you.
I do my best to obey all your wishes, I put a sign up "Think"
But I gotta buy us a new set of dishes, or wash the ones that are piled in the sink.

Nothing else to tell you dear, except each day seems like a year,
Every night I'm dreaming of you, P.S. I love you.
