Leonard Cohen - Waiting For The Miracle

Baby, I've been waiting,
I've been waiting night and day.
I didn't see the time,
I waited half my life away.
There were lots of invitations
And I know you sent me some,
But I was waiting
For the miracle, for the miracle to come.
I know you really loved me.
But, you see, my hands were tied.
I know it must have hurt you,
It must have hurt your pride
To have to stand beneath my window
With your bugle and your drum,
And me I'm up there waiting
For the miracle, for the miracle to come.

Ah I don't believe you'd like it,
You wouldn't like it here.
There ain't no entertainment
And the judgments are severe.
The Maestro says it's Mozart
But it sounds like bubble gum
When you're waiting
For the miracle, for the miracle to come.

Waiting for the miracle
There's nothing left to do.
I haven't been this happy
Since the end of World War II.

Nothing left to do
When you know that you've been taken.
Nothing left to do
When you're begging for a crumb
Nothing left to do
When you've got to go on waiting
Waiting for the miracle to come.

I dreamed about you, baby.
It was just the other night.
Most of you was naked
Ah but some of you was light.
The sands of time were falling
From your fingers and your thumb,
And you were waiting
For the miracle, for the miracle to come

Ah baby, let's get married,
We've been alone too long.
Let's be alone together.
Let's see if we're that strong.
Yeah let's do something crazy,
Something absolutely wrong
While we're waiting
For the miracle, for the miracle to come.

Nothing left to do
When you know that you've been taken.
Nothing left to do
When you're begging for a crumb
Nothing left to do
When you've got to go on waiting
Waiting for the miracle to come.

When you've fallen on the highway
And you're lying in the rain,
And they ask you how you're doing
Of course you'll say you can't complain
If you're squeezed for information,
That's when you've got to play it dumb
You just say you're out there waiting
For the miracle, for the miracle to come.

The Waking

I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
I learn by going where I have to go.

We think by feeling. What is there to know?
I hear my being dance from ear to ear.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.

Of those so close beside me, which are you?
God bless the ground! I shall walk softly there,
And learn by going where I have to go.

Light takes the tree; but who can tell us how?
The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair;
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.

Great nature has another thing to do
To you and me, so take the lively air,
And, lovely, learn by going where to go.

This shaking keeps me steady. I should know.
What falls away is always. And is near.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I learn by going where I have to go.

I was born in the fields
The dirt my only home
This place is bad
They call me righteous smoke

Woa---
Woa---
Woa---
Woa---

I've been through the East
I've been on through the west
And the word on the trails
They like my song the best!

Yeah, I'm on fire
Yeah, I'm on fire (right)
This righteous smoke gonna set your soul on fire (yeah it will)

Like a beautiful lady
I got all the money in the world
Gonna take my hand
And watch your dreams fold

Yeah, I'm on fire
Yeah, I'm on fire (right)
This righteous smoke gonna set your soul on fire (yeah it will)

In my hallucination
I saw my beloved's flower garden
In my vertigo, in my dizziness
In my drunken haze
Whirling and dancing like a spinning wheel

I saw myself as the source of existence
I was there in the beginning
And I was the spirit of love
Now I am sober
There is only the hangover
And the memory of love
And only the sorrow

I yearn for happiness
I ask for help
I want mercy
And my love says:

Look at me and hear me
Because I am here
Just for that

I am your moon and your moonlight too
I am your flower garden and your water too
I have come all this way, eager for you
Without shoes or shawl

I want you to laugh
To kill all your worries
To love you
To nourish you

Oh sweet bitterness
I will soothe you and heal you
I will bring you roses
I, too, have been covered with thorns

Spyrogyra - The Furthest Point

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7V9oPEV5jt8

Body and matter just flow
Into an infinite number of variables
Which can be meaningless or false
Or disproved by scientific negotiations
Whilst Love, Mind and Limb
Are easily interchangeable
In the hands of physicians
Perfectly equipped
With all the modern devices
So you stand there, merely bewildered
And looking at the Moon

We are the stars
We are the furthest point you can see
We are we

Don't be sad if I should say
That once upon a time I was a young man
Filled with thoughts of special beauty
Living well on hopes
But nothing solid
Life, Life

Turn away and make a million
Gather all you can and make it your land
But remember at the end
You'll look and see you're nothing but a dead man
Life, life

We, who started off so wide eyed
Never doubted success
But we were foolish to undertake such a mammoth task
As re-organisation of molecular history
And there's absolutely no basis
For any particular currency of thought
When living in
McLuhan's Media, awareness area
Communicating with each atom that explodes

We are the stars
We are the furthest point you can see
We are we

Who can you trust to be your friend in this division
When standing in the middle of a mighty bad collision
It's always best to stay amused

Well us lot here we're waiting for a big salvation
Someone whose gonna stop decay and go on with creation
Someone whose gonna save the world

The sort of chap who bridges gaps and sorts out muddles
A smashing bloke who'll help the dregs and drag big heads in puddles
I wonder if it might be me

But no that's daft You're nowhere near to being that super
No our chap, he'll be just the job the sort to have in clinches
We'll know him cause he'll be alive
We'll know him cause he'll be alive
We'll know him cause he'll be alive

If you are old, you may be moved
You'll know all things must pass
And you will think about the song
You sang when you were young
And there was glory

I, recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone, yeah
I, recommend walking around naked in your living room, yeah

Swallow it down (what a jagged little pill)
It feels so good (swimming in your stomach)
Wait until the dust settles

You live you learn, you love you learn
You cry you learn, you lose you learn
You bleed you learn, you scream you learn

I, recommend biting off more than you can chew to anyone
I certainly do
I, recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at any time
Feel free

Throw it down (the caution blocks you from the wind)
Hold it up (to the rays)
You wait and see when the smoke clears

You live you learn, you love you learn
You cry you learn, you lose you learn
You bleed you learn, you scream you learn

I, I, oh, oh

Wear it out (the way a three-year-old would do)
Melt it down (you're gonna have to eventually, anyway)
The fire trucks are coming up around the bend

You live you learn, you love you learn
You cry you learn, you lose you learn
You bleed you learn, you scream you learn

You grieve you learn, you choke you learn
You laugh you learn, you choose you learn
You pray you learn, you ask you learn
You live you learn

How 'bout getting off of these antibiotics
How 'bout stopping eating when I'm full up
How 'bout them transparent dangling carrots
How 'bout that ever elusive kudo

Thank you India, thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty, thank you consequence
Thank you, thank you, silence

How 'bout me not blaming you for everything
How 'bout me enjoying the moment for once
How 'bout how good it feels to finally forgive you
How 'bout grieving it all one at a time

Thank you India, thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty, thank you consequence
Thank you, thank you, silence

The moment I let go of it
Was the moment I got more than I could handle
The moment I jumped off of it
Was the moment I touched down

How 'bout no longer being masochistic
How 'bout remembering your divinity
How 'bout unabashedly bawling your eyes out
How 'bout not equating death with stopping

Thank you India, thank you providence
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you nothingness, thank you clarity
Thank you, thank you, silence

You're the color
You're the movement
And the spin

Never
Could it stay with me
The whole day long

Fail with consequence
Lose with eloquence
And smile

I'm not in this movie
I'm not in this song

Never
Leave me paralyzed, love
Leave me hypnotized, love

You're the color
You're the movement
And the spin

Never
Could it stay with me
The whole day long

Fail with consequence
Lose with eloquence
And smile

You're not in this movie
You're not in this song

Never
Leave me paralyzed, love
Leave me hypnotized, love

Zaz - On ira

On ira écouter Harlem au coin de Manhattan
On ira rougir le thé dans les souks à Amman
On ira nager dans le lit du fleuve Sénégal
Et on verra brûler Bombay sous un feu de Bengale

On ira gratter le ciel en dessous de Kyoto
On ira sentir Rio battre au cœur de Janeiro
On lèvera nos sur yeux sur le plafond de la chapelle Sixtine
Et on lèvera nos verres dans le café Pouchkine

Oh qu'elle est belle notre chance
Aux milles couleurs de l'être humain
Mélangées de nos différences
A la croisée des destins

Vous êtes les étoiles nous somme l'univers
Vous êtes en un grain de sable nous sommes le désert
Vous êtes mille pages et moi je suis la plume
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Vous êtes l'horizon et nous sommes la mer
Vous êtes les saisons et nous sommes la terre
Vous êtes le rivage et moi je suis l'écume
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

On dira que le poètes n'ont pas de drapeaux
On fera des jours de fête quand on a de héros
On saura que les enfants sont les gardiens de l'âme
Et qu'il y a des reines autant qu'il y a de femmes

On dira que les rencontres font les plus beaux voyages
On verra qu'on ne mérite que ce qui se partage
On entendra chanter des musiques d'ailleurs
Et l'on saura donner ce que l'on a de meilleur

Oh qu'elle est belle notre chance
Aux milles couleurs de l'être humain
Mélangées de nos différences
A la croisée des destins

Vous êtes les étoiles nous somme l'univers
Vous êtes en un grain de sable nous sommes le désert
Vous êtes mille phrases et moi je suis la plume
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Vous êtes l'horizon et nous sommes la mer
Vous êtes les saisons et nous sommes la terre
Vous êtes le rivage et moi je suis l'écume
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Vous êtes les étoiles nous somme l'univers
Vous êtes en un grain de sable nous sommes le désert
Vous êtes mille phrases et moi je suis la plume
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Vous êtes l'horizon et nous sommes la mer
Vous êtes les saisons et nous sommes la terre
Vous êtes le rivage et moi je suis l'écume
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Depeche Mode - Halo

You wear guilt
Like shackles on your feet
Like a halo in reverse

I can feel
The discomfort in your seat
And in your head it’s worse

There’s a pain
A famine in your heart
An aching to be free

Can’t you see
All love’s luxuries
Are here for you and me

And when our worlds
They fall apart
When the walls come tumbling in
Though we may deserve it
It will be worth it

Bring your chains
Your lips of tragedy
And fall into my arms

And when our worlds
They fall apart
When the walls come tumbling in
Though we may deserve it
It will be worth it.

Madonna - The Power of Good-Bye

Your heart is not open, so I must go
The spell has been broken, I loved you so
Freedom comes when you learn to let go
Creation comes when you learn to say no

You were my lesson, I had to learn
I was your fortress, you had to burn
Pain is a warning that something's wrong
I pray to God that it won't be long
Do you wanna go higher

There's nothing left to try
There's no place left to hide
There's no greater power
Than the power of goodbye

Your heart is not open, so I must go
The spell has been broken, I loved you so
You were my lesson, I had to learn
I was your fortress

There's nothing left to lose
There's no more heart to bruise
There's no greater power
Than the power of goodbye

Learn... to... say... good... bye
I yearn... to... say... good... bye

There's nothing left to try
There's no more places to hide
There's no greater power
Than the power of goodbye

There's nothing left to lose
There's no more heart to bruise
There's no greater power
Than the power of good-bye

There wasn't much I used to need
A smile with glow, a summer breeze through… my heart
Now my mistakes are haunting me
Like winter came and put a freeze on… my heart

I've lost the power to understand
What it takes to be a man with… my heart
I saw you wanted this to end
You tried your best to be a friend to… my heart

But I'm leaving
This worry town
Please no grieving
My love, understand

Whenever I was feeling wrong
I used to go and write a song from… my heart
But now I feel I've lost my spark
No more glowing in the dark for… my heart

So I'm leaving
This worry town
Please no grieving
My love, understand

Understand
Understand
Understand
Understand
Understand
(Can't you see I'm sick for you?)
Understand
(Can't you tell I've lost my way?)
Understand
(Look at me, there's no denying)
Understand
(I won't last another day)

So I'm leaving
This worry town
Please no grieving
My love, understand

All my dreaming torn in pieces
All my dreaming torn in pieces
All my dreaming torn in pieces
All my dreaming torn in pieces now
