Imitosis - Andrew Bird




he's keeping busy
yeah he's bleeding stones
with his machinations and his palindromes
it was anything but hear the voice
that says that we're all basically alone

poor Professor Pynchon had only good intentions
when he put his Bunsen burners all away
and turning to a playground in a Petri dish
where single cells would swing their fists
at anything that looks like easy prey
in this nature show that rages every day
it was then he heard his intuition say

we were all basically alone
and despite what all his studies had shown
that what's mistaken for closeness
is just a case of mitosis
and why do some show no mercy
while others are painfully shy
tell me doctor can you quantify
he just wants to know the reason why

why do they congregate in groups of four
scatter like a billion spores
and let the wind just carry them away
hows can kids be so mean
our famous doctor tried to glean
as he went home at the end of the day
in this nature show that rages every day
it was then he heard his intuition say

we were all basically alone
despite what all his studies had shown
that what's mistaken for closeness
is just a case of mitosis
sure fatal doses of malcontent through osmosis
and why do some show no mercy
while others are painfully shy
tell me doctor, can you quantify?
the reason why

My love - The bird and the bees

Uma boa descoberta... :)


My love let me go again
Right back, back to the top of the
Slide down sad clown
Oh oh oh oh oh

My clown let me love you
What's that back to the back of the rebound
Clown hang around
Oh oh oh oh

Hey boy wont you take me out tonight
I'm not afraid of all the reasons why we shouldn't try

Hey boy wont you make me out tonight
I get excited when I think of crawling into your arms

Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

My light take me there again
up top to the top of the
free fall a great wall
Oh oh oh oh oh

My mouth let me kiss again
sift out, sift out all of the dust
hole black hole
Oh oh oh oh

Hey boy wont you take me out tonight
I'm not afraid of all the reasons why we shouldn't try

Hey boy wont you make me out tonight
I get excited when I think of crawling into your arms

Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

Hey boy wont you take me out tonight
I'm not afraid of all the reasons why we shouldn't try

Hey boy wont you make me out tonight
I get excited when I think of crawling into your arms

Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

Renegade - Kings of Convenience




I'm letting go
To see if you'll hold on to me
I'm in doubt
Of what is thought and what is real

In our room
Between the shapes I thought I knew
A guillotine
A pillow with feathers like snow

I've come
To a listening post beyond your lines
I'm all ears
To gather clues and look for signs

But I can't hear
The song you sing while you try to soothe
Why are you whispering
While the bombs are falling?

Go easy on me
I can't help what I'm doing
Go easy on me
Oh, I can't help what I'm doing

Hello again
I buried you, where have you been?
My renegade
You came back from the labyrinth

Unlike me
You've looked for things that could be found
And the thread
That guides through black times

Go easy on me
I can't help what I'm doing
Go easy on me
Oh, I can't help what I'm doing

When thoughts
Had outnumbered spoken words
In the early hours
We failed to establish
Who was hurt
Most

These boots are made for walking - The Legendary Tiger Man

A interpretação original é da Nancy Sinatra... de 1966.
Esta versão é do Homem-Tigre. Paulo Furtado e Maria de Medeiros juntam-se e transformam esta música em algo...sexy.
Apesar da letra ser forte, decisiva e feminina (Femina é o nome do novo disco de Legendary Tiger Man), não deixo de achar que é uma versão sexy, sensual, poderosa...





You keep saying you've got something for me.
something you call love, but confess.
You've been messin' where you shouldn't have been a messin'
and now someone else is gettin' all your best.

These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.

You keep lying, when you oughta be truthin'
and you keep losin' when you oughta not bet.
You keep samin' when you oughta be changin'.
Now what's right is right, but you ain't been right yet.

These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.

You keep playin' where you shouldn't be playin
and you keep thinkin' that you´ll never get burnt.

Ha! I just found me a brand new box of matches yeah
and what he know you ain't HAD time to learn.

Are you ready boots? Start walkin'!
