Holiday In Cambodia
"So you been to school
For a year or two
And you know you've seen it all
In daddy's car
Thinkin you'll go far
Back east your type don't crawl
Play ethnicky jazz
To parade your snazz
On your five grand stereo
Braggin that you know
How the niggers feel cold
And the slums got so much soul
It's time to taste what you most fear
Right guard will not help you here
Brace yourself, my dear
It's a holiday in cambodia
It's tough, kid, but it's life
It's a holiday in cambodia
Don't forget to pack a wife
You're a star-belly sneech
You suck like a leach
You want everyone to act like you
Kiss ass while you bitch
So you can get rich
But your boss gets richer off you
Well you'll work harder
With a gun in your back
For a bowl of rice a day
Slave for soldiers
Till you starve
Then your head is skewered on a stake
Now you can go where people are one
Now you can go where they get things done
What you need, my son.
Is a holiday in cambodia
Where people dress in black
A holiday in cambodia
Where you'll kiss ass or crack
Pol Pot, Pol Pot, Pol Pot, Pol Pot...
And it's a holiday in cambodia
Where you'll do what you're told
A holiday in cambodia
Where the slums got so much soul"

Heroes
"I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins-like dolphins can swim
Though nothing-nothing will keep us together
We can beat them-for ever and ever
Oh we can be heroes-just for one day
I, I will be king
And you-you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be heroes-just for one day
We can beat them-just for one day
I, I can remember
Standing-by the wall
And the guns-shot above our heads
And we kissed-as though nothing could fall
And the shame-was on the other side
Oh we can beat them-forever and ever
Then we could be heroes-just for one day
We can be heroes
Just for one day
We can be heroes
We're nothing, and nothing will help us
Maybe we're lying, then you better not stay
But we could be safer, just for one day
Oh, oh, oh, ohhh-oh, oh, oh, ohhh, just for one day
Oh, just for one day"
Nature Boy
"There was a boy
A very strange
Enchanted boy
They say he wandered
Very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he
And then one day
One magic day
He passed my way
While we spoke
Of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
The greatest thing
You'll ever learn
Is just to love and
Be loved in return"
David Bowie with Massive Attack

Eu no muro
"Agora vou-me levantar
vestir, comer e pôr-me a andar
que já se faz tarde, é muito tarde
são três da tarde
e eu para aqui a sonhar com dois bois
já se faz tarde, muito tarde
Ainda agora era dia e caiu a noite
Eu vi,um traço no muro,
Eu vi,um traço no muro,
eu vi
Deixei-me ficar
Para ver onde é que isto ia dar
e não vai longe,
tal como eu não vou longe
e pensar no que fomos os dois
não vou longe, nada longe
vou esquecer os tais planos p'ra depois
entrei,
para dentro do muro,
entrei
para dentro do muro,
...e lá fiquei
emparedado no tempo
a ser comido por dentro
Ainda agora era dia e caiu a noite."

Nausea
"The Nausea is not inside me: I feel it out there in the wall, in the suspenders, everywhere around me. It makes itself one with the café, I am the one who is within it."
"I am all alone, but I march like a regiment descending on a city… I am full of anguish: the slightest movement irks me. I can't imagine what they want with me."

Tiny tears
Wondering how long it'll take
You haven't spoken or looked at her in all that time
It's the easiest line you could break
She's been going (about) around her business as usual
Always with that melancholy smile
But you were too busy looking into your (affairs) head
To see those tiny tears in her eyes
Tiny tears make up an ocean
Tiny tears make up a sea
Let them pour out, pour out all over
Don't let them pour all over me
How can you hurt someone so much your supposed to care for
Someone you said you'd always be there for
But when that water breaks you know you're gonna cry, cry
When those tears start rolling you'll be back
Tiny tears...
You've been thinking about the time, you've been dreading it
But now it seems that moment has arrived
She's at the edge of the bed, she gets in
But it's hard to turn the opposite way tonight
Tiny tears...

Dear Darkness
Dear darkness
Won't you cover, cover me again?
Dear darkness, dear
I've been your friend for many years.
Won't you do this for me, Dearest Darkness
And cover me from the sun
And the words tightening
The words are tightening
Around my throat and, and
Around the throat of the one I love
Tightening, tightening, tightening
Around the throat of the one I love
Tightening, tightening, tightening
Dear Darkness
Dear Darkness
Now it's your time to look after us
Cause we kept your clothes, we kept your business
When everyone else was having good luck
So now it's your time, time to pay
To pay me and the one I love
With the worldly goods you stashed away
With all the things you took from us."
PJ Harvey

I would rather be ashes than dust...
be ashes than dust!
I would rather
that my spark
should burn out
in a brilliant blaze
than it should be
stifled by dry-rot.
I would rather be
a superb meteor,
every atom of me
in magnificent glow,
than a sleepy and
permanent planet.
The proper function of man
is to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days
in trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time."
Jack London
