Condição de toda a Mulher



"Todas, para que negá-lo, temos a secreta ilusão de ser diferentes. Que o que nos rege não é apenas o resultado do que respirámos, do que bebemos estabelecido por outros, mas uma conjunção original forjada pela nossa própria mente e vontade. Todas nós nos questionámos uma e mil vezes sobre o sentido de estar no mundo e qual é esse mundo em que queremos estar, já que alguma educação básica dita que, se não gostamos do que nos rodeia, podemos reinventá-lo e, portanto, reinventamo-nos. E será essa reinvenção - embora tenhamos que pagar um certo preço por ela - que nos situará no mundo e face ao mundo, e dela dependerá a nossa liberdade."

Love Love


I thought so long and suddenly I realised

I love love

Am I loving the boy

or the feeling I feel?

Is it just the idea that I like

or is it for real?

I recall a special friend, I invited him home for tea

And while my mother cooked a meal he was under the table with me

I thought so long and suddenly I realised

I love love

These ideas that I have

remain fixed in my head

Only the characters change

it's someone else there instead

One day we went down to the park to feed the ducks some bread

Foul fowls wouldn't touch a scrap so we jumped in the duckpond instead

I thought so long and suddenly I realised

I love love

Separations


As the sun shines down on the land so her heart is crying for love

And there is no-one there, no-one to hear her voice

and she will sleep alone again tonight

Now the moon is high in the sky

In her room she calls out his name

But he is somewhere else somewhere she cannot see

Oh and the night is dark between them now"

My god, my God, why did he go away?"

Now the sun shines on a new town

With a smile he gets off the train

He lights a cigarette leans back to see the sky

Oh and he thinks how much better off he is without her hanging round

Let's do it

And the day is passing by him and he has nowhere to stay

At a lonely bar-room table his mind goes back

to yesterday to the girl who's dead and buried

But her face lives in his eyes

He must forget that face forever

Make the future start tonight

Forget her

But the meal he eats is dead flesh

There is cancer in his cigarettes and the drinks won't do a thing for him

But revive some stupid memories

Then a hairstyle that reminds him makes him run into the night

Where the moon hangs high above him now

The same moon that she's praying on tonight

But the wind catches her words and the moon swallows them whole

Now the moon is high in the sky

In her room she calls out his name

The night is cold and dark and she is all alone

The bed is empty now

Her body screams for love

She wants to be with him

Oh but he's so far away

Oh and the night is dark between them now

"My God, my God, why did he go away?"

Someone Like The Moon



She likes to watch the moon as it travels through the sky
'cos she's heard that it's romantic, though she really can't see why.
S
omeone should have helped her through the day.
Someone like the moon.

So she drinks a cup of coffee & telephones a friend
And she asks if she can make it so this night will never end.
Someone should have helped her through the day...etc.

But the light comes and the day bleeds through the sky & the sun
The sun makes it hard to get through & the radio only plays love songs so she cries
Though she knows it's such a bad thing to do.

In the evening it gets better
And she thinks how it's not right that someone so stupid can so easily screw up your life.
Someone should have helped her through the day...etc.

But the light came and the day bled through the sky & the sun
The sun made it hard to get through & the radio only played love songs so she cried
Though she knew it's such a bad thing to do.
Can't you see? Can't you see?
Someone should have helped her through the day.
Someone like the moon.

Capricho



A única diferença entre um capricho e uma paixão eterna é que o capricho dura um pouco mais.

Pick up the phone



You know this place,

you know this gloom?
We've been here before.
When life is a loop,
you're in a room without a door.

Pick up the phone and answer me at last.
Today I will step out of your past.

""Trouble that we've come to know will stay with us"",
with every step it slowly grows.
Rub off the rust.

Pick up the phone and answer me at last.
Today I will step out of your past.

Another breakfast with you




I don't want to fight
just want a piece of your life
oh, if you come out to play
I don't want you to say...anything
I didn't feel a thing when you told me that
you didn't feel a thing when I told you that
I didn't feel a thing, another breakfast with you

Did you ever fall in love?
for a quarter of an hour or above (??)
