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

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.

Michael Andrews - Mad World

(download)

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places - worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere - going nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression - no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tommorow - no tommorow

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very Mad World

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday - Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen - sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me - no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me - look right through me

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very Mad World

Fever Ray - Seven

(download)

I've got a friend who I've known since I was seven
We use to talk on the phone, if we have time, if it's the right time

Accompany me by the kitchen sink
We talk about love, we talk about dishwasher tablets, illness
And we dream about heaven

I know it, I think I know it from a hymn
They've said so, it doesn't need more explanation
A box to open up with light and sound
Making you cold
Very cold

I leave home at seven
Under a heavy sky, I ride my bike up, I ride my bike down

November smoke and your toes go numb
A new colour on the Globe
It goes from white to red, a little voice in my head says oh, oh, oh

I know it, I think I know it from a hymn
They've said so, it doesn't need more explanation
A box to open up with light and sound
And if you don't
You're on your own

Michael Jackson - They Don't Care About Us

Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Situation, aggravation
Everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news
Everybody dog food
Bang bang, shot dead
Everybody's gone mad
