Perfection as a Hipster (God Help the Girl)

Pág. 82

They never met, the singer and the swinger
She walked in, they walked around each other
Fighting for the mirror and smiling
She was awkward
I was tongue tied
She was goofy

And she aspired to perfection as a hipster
And she asked me
"How should I wear my problem hair
My dirty, no good problem hair?"

She asked me
I blew it
I knew it

I always wonder how things could've been
(I wouldn't waste time dreaming about me)
Spend every second day just
dreaming how the first one ought to be
My dream was realised but I was sleeping
I was sleeping

I caught the girl, her eyelids started to flutter
And in my arms
She passed out cold, are you okay?
Just lie still you'll feel better

(What happened? I want to go home)
Feel better
(Where am I, what have I got on?)
Feel better
(You say that but how do you know?)
Feel better
(Who are you, what do you want?)

I always wonder how things could've been
(I wouldn't waste time dreaming about me)
Spend every second day just
dreaming how the first one ought to be
My dream was realised but I was sleeping
I was sleeping...

Ballrooms of Mars (T. Rex)

You gonna look fine
Be primed for dancing
You're gonna trip and glide
All on the trembling plane
Your diamond hands
Will be stacked with roses
And wind and cars
And people of the past

I'll call you thing
Just when the moon sings
And place your face in stone
Upon the hill of stars
And gripped in the arms
Of the changeless madman
We'll dance our lives away
In the Ballrooms of Mars

You talk about day
I'm talking 'bout night time
When the monsters call out
The names of men
Bob Dylan knows
And I bet Alan Freed did
There are things in night
That are better not to behold

You dance
With your lizard leather boots on
And pull the strings
That change the faces of men
You diamond browed hag
You're a glitter-gaunt gangster
John Lennon knows your name
And I've seen his

A través del cielo gris te divisé por fin
diez martinis en el cuerpo y otro por venir
copas pisadas y tu rostro de perfil.

No seas poética, por favor
mírame a la cara, no mires al ron
móntate en el coche, vamos a Avignon.

Di cómo te llamas
di cómo te llamas
yo me llamo Ivonne.

No seas poética, por favor
mírame a la cara, no mires al ron
móntate en el coche, vamos a Avignon.

Di cómo te llamas
di cómo te llamas
je m'appelle Ivonne.

It's Choade, my Dear (Connan Mockasin)

Pág. 129



I'm a China toad
But I'm in filing mode
Please take it off
Please take it off

I have four arms to see things through,
For fetching food, so we can't stop
Please take it off
All I ask is once again

It's Boston and his friend,
Stops in the haunt again,
Rising from down below

It's Choade and, sure the black dog,
Sure the black dog,
Lose my friend,
It's Choade my dear,
Alone my dear,
Please let go to.

I'm a China toad
But I'm in reckless mode
Please take it off
Please take it off

I have four arms and I have lost my choade
For fetching food, so we can't stop
Please take it off
All I ask is once again

Love or Confusion (Jimi Hendrix)

Pág. 129

Is that the stars in the sky, or is it 
Rain fallin' down 
Will it burn me if I touch the sun 
So big, so round 

Would I be truthful, yeah, in, 
Choosing' you as the one for me? 
Is this love baby, 
Or is it just confusion? 

My mind is so messed up 
Goin' round and round 
Must there be all the colours 
Without names, without sound, baby? 
My heart burns with feeling, but, 
My mind, it's cold and reeling 
Is this love baby, 
Or is it confusion? 

My head is poundin', poundin' 
Goin' 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round 
Must there always be these colours? 
Without names, without sounds 
My heart burns with feeling, but, 
My mind, it's cold and reeling 
Is this love baby, 
Or is it just confusion? 
You tell me baby, is this 
Love or confusion? 

Mama, we must get together and find out 
Exactly what we're tryin' to do 

Love or confusion? 
Confusion


Death is not the End (Nick Cave)

Pág. 147


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJXN5VPkyH8&feature=fvwrel


When you're sad and when you're lonely
And you haven't got a friend
Just remember that death is not the end



And all that you held sacred
Falls down and does not mend
Just remember that death is not the end



Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end



When you're standing on the crossroads
That you cannot comprehend
Just remember that death is not the end



And all your dreams have vanished
And you don't know what's up the bend
Just remember that death is not the end



Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end



When the storm clouds gather round you
And heavy rains descend
Just remember that death is not the end



And there's no-one there to comfort you
With a helping hand to lend
Just remember that death is not the end



Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end



For the tree of life is growing
Where the spirit never dies
And the bright light of salvation
Up in dark and empty skies

When the cities are on fire
With the burning flesh of men
Just remember that death is not the end



When you search in vain to find
Some law-abiding citizen
Just remember that death is not the end

Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end

Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end



(by Bob Dylan)
