Madonna - The Power Of Goodbye

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 ya wanna go higher?

Chorus:

There's nothing left to try
There's no place left to hide
There's no greater power
Than the power of good-bye

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

Chorus2:

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

Learn to say good-bye
I yearn to say good-bye

Ray of light on mielestäni Madonnan paras albumi sekä biisit että lyriikat ovat todella koskettavia.

Toinen suosikkini kyseiseltä albumilta

Nothing Really Matters

When I was very young
Nothing really mattered to me
But making myself happy
I was the only one

Now that I am grown
Everything's changed
I'll never be the same
Because of you

Chorus:
Nothing really matters
Love is all we need
Everything I give you
All comes back to me

Looking at my life
It's very clear to me
I lived so selfishly
I was the only one

I realize
That nobody wins
Something is ending
And something begins
(chorus, repeat)

Nothing takes the past away
Like the future
Nothing makes the darkness go
Like the light

You're shelter from the storm
Give me comfort in your arms

Minä olen tutustunut Depeche Modeen isosiskoni uhrina. Yhdeksän vuotta vanhempi siskoni (s.´75) luukutti sitä yötä päivää, joten en ole juuri muuta kuullut lapsuudessani.. Depparit on pysynyt siis kestohyvänä siitä kuusi vuotiaasta asti!  Ja kun vihdoin näin ne livenä Exciter-kiertueen Suomen keikalla (2001), oli tunne sanoinkuvaamaton. (kaveri kiitteli jälkeenpäin, että olen melko hupaisaa keikkaseuraa kun itken ensimmäiset 20 minuuttia.. )

Mutta laitanpa tähän muutamat sanat Audioslave -poppoolta!

Audioslave/ Be yourself

Someone falls to pieces
Sleepin all alone
Someone kills the pain
Spinning in the silence
To finally drift away
Someone gets excited
In a chapel yard
Catches a bouquet
Another lays a dozen
White roses on a grave

To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do

Someone finds salvation in everyone
And another only pain
Someone tries to hide himself
Down inside himself he prays
Someone swears his true love
Untill the end of time
Another runs away
Separate or united?
Healthy or insane?

To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do

And even when you've paid enough, been pulled apart or been held up
With every single memory of the good or bad faces of luck
don't lose any sleep tonight
I'm sure everything will end up alright

You may win or lose

But to be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do



Audioslave/ Like a stone


On a cobweb afternoon
In a room full of emptiness
By a freeway I confess
I was lost in the pages
Of a book full of death
Reading how we'll die alone
And if we're good we'll lay to rest
Anywhere we want to go
 
(chorus)
In your house I long to be
Room by room patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone
I'll wait for you there
Alone
 
On my deathbed I will pray
To the gods and the angels
Like a pagan to anyone
Who will take me to heaven
To a place I recall
I was there so long ago
The sky was bruised
The wine was bled
And there you led me on
 
(chorus)
In your house I long to be
Room by room patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone
I'll wait for you there
Alone
 
And on I read
Until the day was gone
And I sat in regret
Of all the things I've done
For all that I've blessed
And all that I've wronged
In dreams until my death
I will wander on

Audioslave/ Like a stone

Ihanat sanat 

[uusihurmuri]

Falco 

Ich krieg von dir niemals genug
Du bist in jedem atemzug
Alles dreht sich nur um dich
Warum ausgerechnet ich

Zähl die stunden, die sekunden
Doch die zeit scheint still zu stehn
Hab mich geschunden, gewunden
Lass mich gehn

Was willst du noch
Willst du meine tage zählen
Warum mußt du mich
Mit meiner sehnsucht quälen

Deine hölle brennt in mir
Du bist mein überlebenselixier
Ich bin zerrissen
Wann kommst du meine wunden kssen

Out of the dark
Hörst du die stunde, die dir sagt
Into the light
I give up and close my eyes
Out of the dark
Hörst du die stunde, die dir sagt
Into the light
I give up and you waste your tears
To the night

Ich bin bereit, denn es ist zeit
Fr unseren pakt ber die ewigkeit
Du bist schon da, ganz nah
Ich kann dich spren
Lass mich verfhren, lass mich entfhren
Heute nacht zum letzten mal
Ergeben deiner macht
Reich mir die hand
Mein leben, nenn mir den preis
Ich schenk dir gestern, heut und morgen
Dann schließt sich der kreis, kein weg zurck
Das weiße licht kommt näher, stck fr stck
Will mich ergehen

Muß ich denn sterben
Um zu leben

Out of the dark
Hörst du die stunde, die dir sagt
Into the light
I give up and close my eyes
Out of the dark
Hörst du die stunden die dir sagt
Into the light
I give up and you waste your tears
To the night

Täällä voi kuunnella sen kappaleen-
http://youtube.com/watch?v=UC-L_zHuPx0

[Lilja-82]

Tämä kappale alkoi yhtäkkiä soimaan päässäni.

Alannah Myles: Black Velvet

Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high
Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky
The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for

Chorus:
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please

Up in Memphis the music's like a heatwave
White lightening, bound to drive you wild
Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl
"Love me tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle
The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for

chorus

Every word of every song that he sang was for you
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon, what could
you do?

(Solo)

chorus repeats 2x

If you please, if you please, if you please

[Lilja-82]

Ah niin ja miten tämän kappaleen sanoja ei jo ole täällä...  : 


Wicked game


The world was on fire
No one could save me but you.
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you

No, I don't want to fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
No, I don't want to fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
With you
With you

What a wicked game you play
To make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do
To let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say
You never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do
To make me dream of you
v And I don't wanna fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
And I don't want to fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]

{World was on fire
No one could save me but you
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you

No I don't wanna fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart
No I don't wanna fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
With you
With you

Nobody loves no one

[Lilja-82]

Jimi Hendrix: All along the watchtower

There must be some kind of way out of here
Said the joker to the thief
Theres too much confusion
I cant get no relief
Businessman they drink my wine
Plow men dig my earth
None will level on the line
Nobody of it is worth
Hey hey

No reason to get excited
The thief he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke but uh
But you and I weve been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now
The hours getting late
Hey

Hey

All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Bare-foot servants to, but huh
Outside in the cold distance
A wild cat did growl
Two riders were approachin
And the wind began to howl
Hey
Oh
All along the watchtower
Hear you sing around the watch
Gotta beware gotta beware I will
Yeah
Ooh baby
All along the watchtower

 

[Lilja-82]

Kun nyt päästiin näihin 60-luku viboihin niin jatketaan...

Doors - Crystal ship

Before you slip into unconsciousness
Id like to have another kiss
Another flashing chance at bliss
Another kiss, another kiss

The days are bright and filled with pain
Enclose me in your gentle rain
The time you ran was too insane
Well meet again, well meet again

Oh tell me where your freedom lies
The streets are fields that never die
Deliver me from reasons why
Youd rather cry, Id rather fly

The crystal ship is being filled
A thousand girls, a thousand thrills
A million ways to spend your time
When we get back, Ill drop a line

Doors - Break on through

You know the day destroys the night
Night divides the day
Tried to run
Tried to hide
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side, yeah

We chased our pleasures here
Dug our treasures there
But can you still recall
The time we cried
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side


Yeah!
C'mon, yeah


Everybody loves my baby
Everybody loves my baby
She get
She get
She get
She get high


I found an island in your arms
Country in your eyes
Arms that chain us
Eyes that lie
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through, oww!
Oh, yeah!


Made the scene
Week to week
Day to day
Hour to hour
The gate is straight
Deep and wide
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through
Break on through
Break on through
Break on through
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Lilja-82]

Sitten aikahyppäys 80-luvulle 

Billy Idol - Rebell Yell

Last night a little dancer
Came dancin' to my door
Last night a little angel
Came pumpin cross my floor
She said honey baby
You got a license for love
And if it expires
Bring hell from above because

In the midnight hour she cried more more more
With a rebel yell more more more
In the midnight hour babe more more more
With a rebel yell more more more
more more more

She don't like slavery
She wont sit and beg
But when you tied her open
She's near to being
What set you free
Brought you to me, babe
What set you free
I need you hear by me, because
In the midnight hour she cried more more more
With a rebel yell she cried more more more
In the midnight hour babe more more more
With a rebel yell more more more
...

(solo)

I walk the walls for you babe
10,000 miles for you
I dried your tears of pain
A thousand times, for
I'd sell my soul for you babe
For money to burn with you
I'd give you all
And have none, babe
Just a Just a Justa Justa to have you here by me....

In the midnight hour she cried more more more
With a rebel yell she cried more more more
In the midnight hour babe more more more
With a rebel yell she cried more more more
more more more

more more more more more
more more more more more

[Lilja-82]

Ja tämän hypen jälkeen koittaa...

Bangles - Manic monday

Six o'clock already
I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin' Valentino
By a crystal blue Italian stream
But I can't be late
'Cause then I guess I just won't get paid
These are the days
When you wish your bed was already made

It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
My I don't have to runday
It's just another manic Monday

Have to catch an early train
Got to be to work by nine
And if I had an air-o-plane
I still couldn't make it on time
'Cause it takes me so long
Just to figure out what I'm gonna wear
Blame it on the train
But the boss is already there

All of the nights
Why did my lover have to pick last night
To get down
Doesn't it matter
That I have to feed the both of us
Employment's down
He tells me in his bedroom voice
C'mon honey, let's go make some noise
Time it goes so fast
When you're having fun


Tää on ihan sairaan hauskaa, somebody stop me. 

[enska]

ja tämäkin saa ihon kanalihalle..
rhcp:Otherside

How long how long will I slide
Separate my side I don’t
I don’t believe it’s bad
Slit my throat
It’s all I ever

I heard your voice through a photograph
I thought it up it brought up the past
Once you know you can never go back
I’ve got to take it on the otherside

Centuries are what it meant to me
A cemetery where I marry the sea
Stranger things could never change my mind
I’ve got to take it on the otherside
Take it on the otherside
Take it on
Take it on

Chorus

Pour my life into a paper cup
The ashtray’s full and I’m spillin’ my guts
She wants to know am I still a slut
I’ve got to take it on the otherside

Scarlet starlet and she’s in my bed
A candidate for my soul mate bled
Push the trigger and pull the thread
I’ve got to take it on the otherside
Take it on the otherside
Take it on
Take it on

Chorus

Turn me on take me for a hard ride
Burn me out leave me on the otherside
I yell and tell it that
It’s not my friend
I tear it down I tear it down
And then it’s born again

Chorus

How long I don’t believe it’s bad
Slit my throat
It’s all I ever



Ai niin Lilja, tuosta rebel yellistä tuli mieleen kun idoli oli esiintymässä conanissa ja aiheena oli vuosittaiset veroilmoitukset. Idol lauloi ihan oikeasti: in the midnight hour i fill forms forms forms (vitsi että repesin..)
conani totesi että miten joku voi olla veroilmoituksen teosta noin innoissaan..

[Lilja-82]

Ei vitsi toi olis pitäny nähdä!

Nirvana/Heart shaped box

She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your Heart Shaped box for weeks
I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black

Hey!
Wait!
I've got a little complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
hate!
haight!
I've got a little complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey!
Wait!
I've got a little complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice

...your advice

Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself on Angel Hair and baby's breath
Broken hymen of your highness I'm left black
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back

Hey!
Wait!
I've got a little complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
hate!
Haight!
I've got a little complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey!
Wait!
I've got a little complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
...Your advice

En ole ikinä tajunnut että rhcp voi olla tuollaisia lyriikoita.  Olen aina pitänyt sitä sellaisena californiacation jee bändinä...  : 

Mennään takaisin 60-luvulle hetkeksi...

Pink Floyd - Comfortably numb

Hello.
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?

Come on, now.
I hear youre feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.

Relax.
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts:
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.
When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I cant explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.

Ok.
Just a little pinprick. [ping]
Therell be no more --aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick.

Can you stand up?
I do believe its working. good.
Thatll keep you going for the show.
Come on its time to go.

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown, the dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

:: the ballad of the soldier's wife

(September Songs)

What was sent to the soldier’s wife
From the ancient city of Prague?
From Prague came a pair of high heeled shoes,
With a kiss or two came the high heeled shoes
From the ancient city of Prague.

What was sent to the soldier’s wife
From Oslo over the sound?
From Oslo he sent her a collar of fur,
How it pleases her, the little collar of fur
From Oslo over the sound.

What was sent to the soldier’s wife
From the wealth of Amsterdam?
From Amsterdam, he got her a hat,
She looked sweet in that,
In her little Dutch hat
From the wealth of Amsterdam.

What was sent to the soldier’s wife
From Brussels in Belgian land?
From Brussels he sent her the laces so rare
To have and to wear,
All those laces so rare
From Brussels in Belgian land.

What was sent to the soldier’s wife
From Paris, city of light?
From Paris he sent her a silken gown,
It was ended in town, that silken gown,
From Paris, city of light.

What was sent to the soldier’s wife
From the South, from Bucharest?
From Bucharest he got her this shirt
Embroidered and pert, that Rumanian shirt
From the South, from Bucharest.

What was sent to the soldier’s wife
From the far-off Russian land?
From Russia there came just a widow’s veil
For her dead to bewail in her widow’s veil
From the far-off Russian land,
From the far-off Russian land.

Tuosta comfortably numb-biisistä näin äskettäin scissors sistersin version en oo alkuperästä kuullut, mutta se versio oli aika skitso.
