Old Days – Simon Joyner

by

How’d you get out
and where did you go?
That’s what everyone here hocking
their damaged goods wants to know
And does the same spirit still move you?
How cheap does the wine flow
wherever you are now, wherever you are?

Cry, Cry, Cry (Over You) – Chain & The Gang (lyrics)

by

Well I’m poor
Well I’m cheap
Well I’m looking for a place to sleep
Yeah I’m looking for somebody who wants to take me home.
…somebody wants to cook for me
…somebody wants to give me things free
I’m like a king whose lost his country, and his throne
Well I’m poor
Well I’m cheap
Somebody wanna look after me?
Like a cat that’s lost his litter, and his mom
Well hear me howling at the moon
You wanna take me in your room
Well I’m looking for somebody, something to call my ownYeah I’m so poor, there’s only thing I can afford
And that’s to cry cry cry over you

Yeah I’ve got nothing at all but the ground below, and a place to fall
And to cry cry cry over you
Yeah cry cry cry over you

Well I’m poor
Well I’m cheap
Yeah I’m looking for things that are free
And besides being poor did I mention I’m lazy?
Yeah that I like hanging around
Yeah trying not to be found
Did I mention i like to take it real easy

Yeah I’m so poor there’s only one thing I can afford
And thats to cry cry cry over you
Yeah it’s true I’ve got nothing at all but the ground below and a place to fall
And cry cry cry over you
Yeah cry cry over you
If you want me to
Cry cry cry over you
Yeah, I can
Cry cry cry over you

No Place Like Home – Charlie Mars (with lyrics)

by

it’s so hot here inside
this mountain of questions
reasons why
we pour it over with a fine-toothed comb
it gets so hard to do it
to do it alone
alone

oh i long to sing that old song
in the house where i belong
oh there is no place
no place
no place like home

tonight i wanna leap tall buildings in a single bound
when i’m feeling like a stranger in this here town
it’s a great divide between a house and home
it gets so hard to do it
to do it alone
alone

oh i long to sing that old song
in the house where i belong
oh there is no place
no place
no place like home

is there a silver lining to the cold
is there a silver lining to the cold
a silver lining to the cold
to the cold

oh i long to sing that old song
in the house where i belong
oh there is no place
no place
no place like home

there is no place
no place
no place like home

Lost in Translation

by

Heard an interesting song in German, thought it my be poignant… still not sure.

Tocotronic’s “I’m Zweifel Fur Den Zweifel” via Google Translate:

When in doubt, for doubt
The hesitation and anger
When in doubt, for breaking
The own uniform

When in doubt, for doubt
And for the puberty
If in doubt against togetherness
And normativity

When in doubt, for doubt
And against all restraint
in doubt for the devil
And the unbridled urge

When in doubt, for the bitterness
And my hot tears
Leaden is my time
And yet I must mention:

If in doubt for aimlessness
My people, hear me call!
If in doubt for discord
And for the intermediate

When in doubt, for doubt
The hesitation and anger
When in doubt, for breaking
The own uniform

If in doubt for pampering
And for my crack
For the extreme fragility
For a will like wax

When in doubt, for the hybrid
From distant spheres
When in doubt, for trembling
At the sight of the chimeras

When in doubt, for the bitterness
And my hot tears
Leaden is my time
Remains for me to mention:

If in doubt for aimlessness
My people, hear me call!
If in doubt for discord
And for the intermediate

When in doubt, for doubt
The hesitation and anger
When in doubt, for breaking
The own uniform

When in doubt, for doubt
And the Incomprehensibly
For the inner contrition
If you show the teeth

When in doubt, for folding
Prior entire room
My life is disruption
My existence scandal

When in doubt, for the bitterness
And my hot tears
Leaden is my time
And yet I must mention:

If in doubt for aimlessness
My people, hear me call!
If in doubt for discord
And for the intermediate

When in doubt, for doubt
The hesitation and anger
When in doubt, for breaking
The own uniform

When in doubt, for doubt
The hesitation and anger

When in doubt, for doubt
The hesitation and anger
