Heavy rotation: Soul Quality Quartet Feat. Almaz Yebio – I'm Not Here
Zu finden auf der Compilation Coming Home.

Gestern im Concerto, nach dem WUK Museum, Café Leopold, B72, Falafel und einem Tequila (jajaja), fiel die Sprache auf das Lied, das in einer Szene von Last Days gespielt wird. Und ich wusste den Interpreten (ja, ich find das erstaunlich), aber eben nicht den Titel und um diese Zeit, es war sieben in der Früh, konnten wir diesen doch noch herausfinden. V. hat's gewusst. Und Sin hat es einmal gecovert (Sängerin ist Mona Moore).

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark
Clubs and bells, your servant, don't forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

Downy sins of streetlight fancies
Chase the costumes she shall wear
Ermine furs adorn the imperious
Severin, Severin awaits you there

I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears

Kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather
Shiny leather in the dark
Tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

Severin, Severin, speak so slightly
Severin, down on your bended knee
Taste the whip, in love not given lightly
Taste the whip, now plead for me

I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark
Severin, your servant comes in bells, please don't forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

Jedes Mal, wenn ich dieses Lied höre, beschließe ich den Text hier zu posten. Jedes Mal vergesse ich darauf. Und heute, endlich, ist es soweit.

So tell me, please tell me, can you tell me

Does it still itch
Are you still thirsty these days
Does it still eat you up
Do you still feel the same
Do you ever think of me

Do you still burn
Do you still melt away
Do you still fall in love
Day after day, after day
Do you ever think of me
Do you ever think of me

[…]
Do you ever think of you and me

The sun came up with no conclusion
Flowers sleeping in their beds
This city's cemetery's humming
I’m wide-awake, it’s morning

I have my drugs, I have my woman
They keep away my loneliness
My parents have they have their religion
But sleep in separate houses

I read the body count out of the paper
And now it’s written all over my face
No one ever plans to sleep out in the gutter
Sometimes that’s just the most comfortable place

So I’m drinking, breathing, writing, singing
Everyday I'm on the clock
My mind races with all my longings
But cant keep up with what I got

I hope I don’t sound too ungrateful
What history gave modern man
A telephone to talk to strangers
Machine guns and a camera lens

So when you’re asked to fight a war that’s over nothing
It’s best to join the side that’s gonna win
And no one’s sure how all of this got started
But we’re gonna make them goddam certain how its gonna end
Oh ya we will, oh ya we will!

Well I could have been a famous singer
If I had someone else’s voice
But failure’s always sounded better
Lets fuck it up boys, make some noise!

The sun came up with no conclusion
Flowers sleeping in their beds
This city's cemetery's humming
I’m wide-awake, it’s morning

you are a china shop
and i am a bull
you are really good food
and i am full
i guess everything is timing
(...)
the only one who really loves me is you
and you'll say girl did you kick some butt
and i'll say i don't really remember
(...)
you'll say it's really good to see you
you'll say i missed you horribly
you'll say let me carry that
give that to me
and you will take the heavy stuff
and you will drive the car
and i'll look out the window and make jokes
about the way things are

(ani difranco - you had time)

i don't wanna talk
don't wanna wake up
don't wanna move
this is my silence
one more drink
then i throw that thing
put my guitar down
and breath out
breath in again and think
(...)
hell i know that this ain't easy

(chris and the other girls - when the story ends)

it's not your fault that's all i can say
(...)
might sound stupid but we'll find a way
this ain't tomorrow this is yesterday
(...)
so much to say but i think we should not talk
(...)
these words are my call for peace

(chris and the other girls - let go)

Und viele andere Lieder (Lullaby, I Am The Problem, usw.), die von chris and the other girls sind, liefen heute am Weg zur Arbeit.

I hurt myself [yesterday and] 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 stain 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

I knew you'd find that note someday
So I wrote down
All the things that I couldn't say

(Roisin Murphy - The closing of the door)

She brings the sunshine to a rainy afternoon
…
She watches for my mood, never brings me down
She puts the sweetness … all around
She knows just what to say to make me feel so good inside
Or when I'm all alone I feel I don't want to hide

…

She knows just what to say to make a sunny day
Or when I'm all alone I really don't feel that way
Oh how I need her so
I know she'll never ever go
She'll never leave me, leave me
…

I'm on a roll
I'm on a roll this time
I feel my luck could change

Kill me Sarah
kill me again with love
it's gonna be a glorious day

Pull me out of the aircrash
Pull me out of the lake
'cause I'm your superhero
we are standing on the edge

The head of state has called for me by name
but I don't have time for him
It's gonna be a glorious day
I feel my luck could change

Pull me out of the aircrash
Pull me out of the lake
'cause i'm your superhero
we are standing on the edge

We are standing on the edge
