Κιεγαμώ τους Stixoi.

Black, you are my enemy
And I cannot get close to thee
Our life is ruled by enmity
And I can't weaken that
The only way that I can see
Is to hold you close to me
To love you for it's meant to be
I weaken your attack

Now black and I we are together
Fairly just inseparable
And in the terriblest of weather
Our bonds are incorruptible

...αλλα ρε τσακαλάκια γράφτε και ποιος τι κι έτσι, έγραψε ή μελοποίησε ή σοδόμισε γαμάτους στίχους, να κσέρει ο κοζμος..

Bonnie

Lets have a black celebration
Black celebration
Tonight

To celebrate the fact
That weve seen the back
Of another black day

I look to you
How you carry on
When all hope is gone
Cant you see

Your optimistic eyes
Seem like paradise
To someone like
Me

I want to take you
In my arms
Forgetting all I couldnt do today

Black celebration
Black celebration
Tonight

To celebrate the fact
That weve seen the back
Of another black day

I look to you
And your strong belief
Me, I want relief
Tonight

Consolation
I want so much
Want to feel your touch
Tonight

Take me in your arms
Forgetting all you couldnt do today

Black celebration
Ill drink to that
Black celebration
Tonight

Built To Spill - Traces

Daylight can never really hide what’s alive
I know it's hard sometimes
For you to tell where you end
And where the world begins

You do your best to avoid assimilation
Guess that's the best you can do

And all the parts of it that matter change
All traces disintegrate

At night
My mind gets on this
Train of thought
And can't get back off
And when you know
How few things there are worth knowing
I suppose anyone who tries could forget

Responding now
To trains that crash before you
Never thought crashing could happen to you

And all the parts of it that matter change
All traces disintegrate

Στο πνεύμα των ημερών..

Βάζω λίγο σκοτάδι και λιγάκι βροχή
για να σου φτιάξω μια παράξενη αρχή
και να σε ξεμακρύνω λίγο από τη σκέψη σου
που έτσι κι αλλιώς σε συνερίζεται το κέφι σου.
Σε πάω σε δρόμο μικρό, σε σοκάκι παλιό
σ' ένα αιώνια ποτισμένο απ' το κρασί καπηλειό,
μέρος κακόφημο, ακόμα και για το στοχασμό μου
που ούτε κι ο φόβος δε με φέρνει στ' όνειρό μου.
Εδώ λοιπόν, θα μοιραστώ μια ιστορία μαζί σου
που 'ναι σα να συνέβη χθες και ορκίσου
αν σε πειράξει τόσο που ντραπείς
πουθενά να μη τη πεις.

-Καλώς ήρθες, ξένε στο τόπο μου
άραξε δίπλα να σου βάλω ένα κρασί να πιεις
συγχώρεσέ με λιγάκι για τον τρόπο μου,
μα με βρήκες στην αγκαλιά της ντροπής.
Ξέμεινα μόνος μου, πάρε και κάτσε όπου θες
κουρασμένο σε βλέπω, πρέπει καιρό να γυρίζεις,
όμως μέσα στη ζαλάδα μου και πίσω απ' τις σκιές
σα να μου φαίνεται πως κάτι μου θυμίζεις.

-Γεια σου και σένα, έλειπα χρόνια ήμουνα κάπου μακριά
με φέραν πίσω δυνατές φωνές
και κάποιες τύψεις που μου είπαν πως εδώ κοντά
έχω γεννηθεί κι έχω πεθάνει δυο χιλιάδες φορές.

-Ω, να τα μας, καλά είπα όταν σε είδα
πως σίγουρα παράξενα θα πρέπει να μιλάς
από άλλο κόσμο έχεις απάνω σου σφραγίδα
αυτά τα αγκάθια στο κεφάλι και τα ρούχα που φοράς.

-Κάποτε κάποιοι μου το φόρεσαν για στέμμα
και με χλευάζανε μεγάλο βασιλιά
ακόμα τρέχει από τότε φρέσκο αίμα
σ' αυτά που ανέβηκαν του χρόνου τα σκαλιά.
Γι' αυτό με βλέπεις μέσα στις σκιές
σαν να φοβάμαι και να θέλω να γλιτώσω
μια προσευχή σ' ένα περβόλι με ελιές
δε με αφήσανε ποτέ να την τελειώσω.

-Κι όμως μυρίζεις ουρανό και χώματα
κι αυτή την όμορφη δροσιά της σιωπής

-Είναι που μ' έφεραν εδώ αλλόκοτα μαλώματα
άκου, λοιπόν, τι θα τους πεις:
Αφού φωνάζουν όλοι αυτοί
κι αφού σκοτώνουν στ' όνομα μου
πες αναβάλλεται η γιορτή
πάω να ξαπλώσω στα καρφιά μου.
Πες τους ο χρόνος πως τρελάθηκε
δε κάνει στάση Γολγοθά
πες ο παράξενος πως χάθηκε
κι έφυγε οριστικά

-Μπερδεμένα μου τα λες, αλλά γουστάρω
πρέπει να σπούδασες τη τέχνη του μυαλού
ή σαν κι μένα όταν με πιάνει και σαλτάρω
και πίνω εδώ, με πιάνει αλλού.

-Γι' αυτό και εγώ ήρθα εδώ και σε διάλεξα πιωμένο
για να μπορέσεις την αλήθεια να τους πεις
κάτω από το φως το μέτωπο έχεις ιδρωμένο,
μα το προσέχεις καθαρό, δε θα ντραπείς.
Οι άλλοι παίξανε μαζί μου στους αιώνες
αυτοκράτορα με χρίσανε, με κάναν στρατηγό,
τα απλά μου λόγια τα σκορπίσαν σαν κανόνες
και δεν ήξερα τίποτα εγώ.

-Που με βρήκες εδώ κάτω τι με θες
Το μυαλό μου δε σαλεύει από κούνια
σα να γεννήθηκα μου φαίνεται χτες
ενώ έξω υπάρχουν έξυπνοι μιλιούνια.

-Αυτούς τους είδα, τους άκουσα, τους νιώθει το πετσί μου
προτιμώ τα καρφιά που με κρατάνε στο σταυρό
αυτοί πουλήσαν ακριβά τη γέννησή μου,
αυτοί φυλάνε το σκοτάδι θησαυρό.
Πες στους εχθρούς μου ότι είχαν λόγο καλό
και θα τους σέβομαι γιατί πιο τίμια σταθήκαν
όταν με σκοτώναν, κοιτούσαν ουρανό
κι έτσι πρόλαβαν από εκεί συγχωρεθήκαν.

-Ωραίος, παράξενε φίλε μου, απόψε
για την ανημποριά μου βρήκες σκοπό
πάρε μια κούπα πάρε ψωμί και κόψε
να τελειώσω το κρασί μου και θα πάω να τους πω:
Αφού φωνάζουν όλοι αυτοί
κι αφού σκοτώνουν στ' όνομα σου
θα πω αναβάλλεται η γιορτή
πας να ξαπλώσεις στα καρφιά σου.
Θα πω ο χρόνος πως τρελάθηκε
δε κάνει στάση Γολγοθά
θα πω ο παράξενος πως χάθηκε
κι έφυγε οριστικά.

I painted a picture of you
Your soul was red & your mind was blue
Destiny lad a light on my creation
This dream I had made a slave of my passion
Reality was always too far away

And we were happy until it came too close 1 day
Suddenly I faced the truth of my dream
My love had only been a picture, a scene
I suppose I needed to believe
Didn't want to see you had never been close to me

But I'm sorry
This illusion has caused you a lot of pain
And I have no solution
I'll try to never be back again

I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

I painted a picture of you
My dream was a lie & the lie became truth
Reality held his breath too long
It's disgusting what dreams can do

But I'm sorry
This illusion has caused you a lot of pain
And I have no solution
I'll try to never be back again

I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

You were 80% angel
10% demon
The rest was hard to explain

eisai ilithia mwri?

I like to have a good time
any of my friends will tell you
but when you confront me with stupidity
I'm doubly angry at you
and I say: nip! nap! it's all a trap
bo! bis! and so was this
whoa! whoa! to haiti go,
and watch it all come down
ding! dong! a silly song
sure do say something's wrong
smile awhile, forget the bile
and watch it all come down

so I become more lively
to bury all of the ugly
whole persons sometimes
must be them bodies buried

and I say: nip! nap! it's all a trap
bo! bis! and so was this
whoa! whoa! to haiti go,
and watch it all come down
ding! dong! a silly song
sure do say something's wrong
smile awhile, forget the bile
and watch it all come down

and I toe the water
and an urchin poke me
an' I must be godfather
to anyone who'll have me

today was another day full of dread
but I never said I was afraid
dread and fear should not be confused
by dread I'm inspired, by fear I'm amused


and I say: nip! nap! it's all a trap
bo! bis! and so was this
whoa! whoa! to haiti go,
and watch it all come down
ding! dong! a silly song
sure do say something's wrong
smile awhile, forget the bile
and watch it all come down

another day full of dread- bonnie "prince" billy

The Thirst
Enchant


There's a man who is lonely
This could change if he'd only
Take a chance and risk stepping outside himself
There's a girl he's been seeing
From afar he's been dreaming
he could have her if he were someone else
So he silently awaits
A major change in fate
A change that comes too late
And you're reaching for a star
But can you reach that far
Standing where you are?
The wanting was too much
You're longing for her touch
It's not within your clutch
There's a man who's been thinking
To himself he's been dreaming
How to build a skyscraper to the stars
Now he starts to go to it
He's so sure he cand do it
Though he's lacking the knowledge of design
Now his dream comes crashing around him
And tumbles to the sea
Along with all he wanted to be
A realization strikes him
A harsh reality
He doesn't know everything
When the student tries to teach
The knowledge that you seek
Lies just outside your reach
There's a thirst you have to learn
A hunger inside burns
Time for the page to turn
It's the wanting,It's the hoping,It's the longing
There's a flame within your soul
To strive to reach your goal
But dreaming takes its toll
It's nature's own device
To grab and roll the dice
But each toss has its price
Emotions starts to flow
Your heart takes control
And steers you down the road
Your destination is no concern
The impulsive never learn
Just another bridge to burn
It's the wanting,It's the hoping,It's the longing...

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of shit
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end

You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

το από πάνω αλλά και

Early one mornin' while makin' the rounds
I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down
I went right home and I went to bed
I stuck that lovin' .44 beneath my head

Got up next mornin' and I grabbed that gun
Took a shot of cocaine and away I run
Made a good run but I ran too slow
They overtook me down in Juarez, Mexico

Late in the hot joints takin' the pills
In walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill
He said Willy Lee your name is not Jack Brown
You're the dirty heck that shot your woman down

Said yes, oh yes my name is Willy Lee
If you've got the warrant just a-read it to me
Shot her down because she made me sore
I thought I was her daddy but she had five more

When I was arrested I was dressed in black
They put me on a train and they took me back
Had no friend for to go my bail
They slapped my dried up carcass in that county jail

Early next mornin' bout a half past nine
I spied the sheriff coming down the line
Ah, and he coughed as he cleared his throat
He said come on you dirty heck into that district court

Into the courtroom my trial began
Where I was handled by twelve honest men
Just before the jury started out
I saw the little judge commence to look about

In about five minutes in walked the man
Holding the verdict in his right hand
The verdict read murder in the first degree
I hollered Lawdy Lawdy, have a mercy on me

The judge he smiled as he picked up his pen
99 years in the Folsom pen
99 years underneath that ground
I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down

Come on you've gotta listen unto me
Lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be

(Cocaine Blues)


σήμερα το άκουσα κ μου έχουν κολλήσει οι στίχοι.... έπος

Ό,τι αγαπούσα αρνήθηκα για το πικρό σου αχείλι:
τον τρόμο που δοκίμαζα πηδώντας στο κατάρτι,
το μπούσουλα, τη βάρδια μου και τη πορεία στο χάρτη,
για ένα δυσεύρετο, μικρό, θαλασσινό κοχύλι.

Τον πυρετό στους Τροπικούς, του Rio τη μαλαφράντζα,
την πυρκαγιά που ανάψαμε μια νύχτα στο Μανάο.
Τη μαχαιριά που μου 'δώσε ο Μαγιάρος στην Κωστάντζα
και "Σε πονάει με τη νοτιά;" - Όχι, απ' αλλού πονάω.

Του τρατολόγου το καημό, του ναύτη την ορφάνια,
του καραβιού που κάθισε την πλώρη τη σπασμένη.
Τις ξεβαμμένες στάμπες μου, που 'χα για περηφάνια,
για σένα, που σαλπάρισες, γολέτα αρματωμένη.

Τι να σου τάξω, ατίθασο παιδί, να σε κρατήσω;
Παρηγοριά μου ο σάκος μου, σ' Αμερική κι Ασία.
Σύρμα που εκόπηκε στα δυο και πως να το ματίσω;
Κατακαημένε, η θάλασσα μισάει τη προδοσία.

Κατέβηκε ο Πολύγυρος και γίνηκε λιμάνι.
Λιμάνι κατασκότεινο, στενό, χωρίς φανάρια,
απόψε που αγκαλιάστηκαν Εβραίοι και Μουσουλμάνοι
και ταξιδέψαν τα νησιά στο πόντο, τα Κανάρια.

The name of this tune is "Mississippi Goddam"
And I mean every word of it

Alabama's got me so upset
Tennessee made me lose my rest
And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam

Alabama's got me so upset
Tennessee made me lose my rest
And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam

Can't you see it can't you feel it
It's all in the air
I can't stand the pressure much longer
Somebody say a prayer

Alabama's got me so upset
Tennessee made me lose my rest
And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam

This is a show tune
But the show hasn't been written for it yet

Hound dogs on my trail
Schoolchildren sitting in jail
Black cat crossed my path
I think every day's gonna be my last
Lord have mercy on this land of mine
We're all gonna get it in due time

I don't belong here I don't belong there
I've even stopped believing in prayer
Don't tell me I tell you
Me and my people just about do
I've been there so I know
Keep on saying go slow

But that's just the trouble too slow
Washing the windows too slow
Picking the cotton too slow
You're just plain rotten too slow
Too damn lazy too slow
Thinking's crazy too slow

Where am I going
What am I doing
I don't know I don't know
Just try to do your very best
Stand up be counted with all the rest
Cos everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam

I bet you thought
I was kidding didn't you

Picket lines school boycots
They try to say it's a communist plot
All I want is equality
For my sister my brother my people and me

Yes you lied to me all these years
You told me to wash and clean my ears
And talk real fine just like a lady
And you'd stop calling me Sister Sady

Oh but this whole country is full of lies
You're all gonna die and die like flies
I don't trust you anymore
You keep on saying go slow go slow

But that's just the trouble too slow
Desegregation too slow
Mass participation too slow
Unification too slow
Do things gradually too slow
Will bring more tragedy too slow

Why don't you see it why don't you feel it
I don't know I don't know
You don't have to live next to me
Just give me my equality

And everybody knows about Mississippi
Everybody knows about Alabama
Everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam
That's it
