All The Pretty Little Horses - Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds

Hushaby, don' you cry
Go to sleepy little baby


When you awake you shall have cake
And all the pretty little horses.
Blacks and Bays, Dapples and Grays
Coach, and a six a little horses.


So hushaby, etc.


Way down yonda', down in the medder
There's a poor little lambie.
Bees an' the butterflies peckin' out his eyes
Poor lambie cried fo' his mammy.


But hushaby, etc.

"All the Tired Horses"

Bob Dylan

All the tired horses in the sun
How'm I supposed to get any ridin' done?
Hmm.

"Dark Horse"

George Harrison

You thought that you knew where I was and when
But it looks like they’ve been foolin’ you again,
You thought that you’d got me all steaked out
But baby looks like I’ve been breaking out

I’m a dark horse
Running on a dark race course
I’m a blue moon
Since I stepped from out of the womb
I’ve been a cool jerk
Looking for the source
I’m a dark horse.

You thought you had got me in your grip
Baby looks like you was not so smart
And I became too slippery for you
But let me say that was nothing new.

I’m a dark horse
Running on a dark race course
I’m a blue moon
Since I picked up my first spoon
I’ve been a cool jerk
Looking for the source
I’m a dark horse

I thought that you knew it all along
Until you started getting me not right
Seems as if you heared a little late
But I warned you when
We both were at the starting gate

I’m a dark horse
Running on a dark race course
I’m a blue moon
Since I stepped from out of the womb
I’ve been a cool jerk
Cooking at the source
I’m a dark horse.

Ένα χρυσόψαρο μέσα στη γυάλα
και μια γατούλα μούρλια θηλυκό,
πρασινομάτα και κοκκινομάλα
αρχίσαν ένα παιχνιδάκι ερωτικό.

Η γάτα λέει για δες το κοροϊδάκι,
πιστεύει πως εγώ το αγάπώ,
μα λέει και το μικρό χρυσό ψαράκι
"Τι κούνια που σε κούναγε πωπωπωπω"

Κι αν σ' αγαπώ δεν θα σου το πω
ουτε για κακό ότι έχω μυστικό
Κι αν σ' αγαπώ, δεν θα σου το πω
ούτε για κακό, ότι έχω μυστικό

Μα παίξε παίξε το ίδιο παιχνιδάκι,
νιώθει η γατούλα έρωτα κρυφό
και γίνηκε αυτή το κοροϊδάκι
κι ατσίδα έγινε το ψάρι το χρυσό.

Κι αν σ' αγαπώ δεν θα σου το πω
ουτε για κακό ότι έχω μυστικό
Κι αν σ' αγαπώ, δεν θα σου το πω
ούτε για κακό, ότι έχω μυστικό

(Old time classic χεχε Τζένη Καρέζη - Ντίνος Ηλιόπουλος απ' το "Κοροϊδάκι της δεσποινίδος")

Ενα όμορφο αμάξι με δυο άλογα
να μου φέρετε τα μάτια μου σαν κλείσω
το ντουνιά με τα στραβά και τα παράλογα
καβαλλάρης μια φορά να σεργιανίσω.

επίσης φίλε αστραχάν...

Μαρίνα πράσινο μου αστέρι
Μαρίνα φως του αυγερινού
Μαρίνα μ'άγριο περιστέρι
και κρύνο του καλοκαιριού

Μαύρη πεταλούδα - Ιωαννίδης Αλκίνοος

Αχ πως μικραίνει η απόσταση κάτω απ' το φύλλο που πέφτει
Αχ πως ο χρόνος σηκώνεται και φανερώνεται άδειος

Πίσω, πίσω απ' τη σιωπή πνιγμένο πλοίο νεκρό αντίο στην κουπαστή
Πίσω, πίσω απ' τη φωνή αδειάζει η σκέψη και ακούει τη λέξη να ηχορραγεί

Mαύρη πεταλούδα παράξενη μέσα στην ομίχλη διάφανη
Όποιος δε σε βλέπει ξεχνά
Και όποιος δεν θυμάται μαύρο θάνατο κοιμάται

Αχ πως ηχούν τα βήματα μέσα στο άδειο τοπίο
Αχ πως φυτρώνει στο χώμα γεμάτο χρώματα τραγούδι

Κι όταν το ποίημα ανοίγει μια χαράδρα πίσω απ' τα κάδρα της γιορτής
Βγαίνει πάνω απ' τις χαρές πάνω απ' τις σφαγές μας πεταλούδα με τη φτερούγα να αιμορραγεί

Μαύρη πεταλούδα...

ΤΡΑΓΟΥΔΙΑ ΓΙΑ ΖΩΑ



Σ,ΛΙΒΥΚΟΣ - ΥΜΝΟΣ ΤΟΥ ΚΕΡΑΤΑ

...παρε τηλεφωνο τον κερατα
καλυτερα τωρα παρα μετα...

Υπόγεια Ρεύματα
"Ύμνος 414"
(ή πως φτιάχτηκαν οι κατσαρίδες)

Ξυπνάει ο Θεός μια μέρα ζεστή
(ναι! μια μέρα ζεστή)
φωνάζει το γιο του του λέει στ' αυτί.
"Φέρε αμέσως ένα κάδο γεμάτο
να βρέξω να πνίξω τους από κάτω.

Μου τη σπάνε οι κάτω πολύ,
δε μ' αφήνουν να βγω στην TV
μου τη σπάνε οι κάτω πολύ,
θα τους πνίξω να βγω στο γυαλί."

Το σκέφτεται καλά αν δε μείνει κανείς
χωρίς τα κορόιδα τι θα γίνουμε εμείς;
Φωνάζει το Νώε που' ναι θύμα πιστό,
του λέει να φτιάξει την κιβωτό.

Και να σώσει τα ζώα σε ζευγάρια,
τους δικούς του που ήτανε μοσχάρια,
τη γυναίκα του, τα δυο του τα παιδιά,
κολυμπάτε κορόιδα κι άντε γεια.

Μα ο Κύριος φορτωμένος με στρες
"Γουστάρω", φωνάζει, "διακοπές".
Του Νώε λέει να τον πάρει μαζί,
μα λέει η κυρά-Νώε που' ναι λίγο χαζή:

"Κύριέ μου που να βρούμε θέση
η μόρφη σου σε ποιο χώρο να χωρέσει;
Κύριέ μου που να βρούμε θέση
η μορφή σου σε ποιο χ'ωρο να χωρέσει;"

"Μη σε νοιάζει κυρα-Νώε λέει ο Θεός
έχετε Κύριο που είναι διττός
εγώ με τα ζώα θα κάτσω εδώ,
ευκαιρία για μένα τη ζωή τους να δω."

Μα εκεί μέσα η κατάσταση βρωμάει
και ο μάγκας ο Θεός την πατάει
στριμωγμένος μες των ζώων τις αρίδες
του τη δίνει και φτιάχνει κατσαρίδες.

"Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey"

Beatles

Come on come on come on come on
Come on is such a joy
Come on is such a joy
Come on take it easy
Come on take it easy
Take it easy take it easy
Everybody's got something to hide except for me and
my monkey.

The deeper you go the higher you fly
The higher you fly the deeper you go
So come on come on
Come on is such a joy
Come on is such a joy
Come on make it easy
Come on make it easy.

Take it easy take it easy
Everybody's got something to hide except for me and
my monkey.

Your inside is out and your outside is in
Your outside is in and your inside is out
So come on come on
Come on is such a joy
Come on is such a joy
Come on make it easy
Come on make it easy
Make it easy make it easy
Everybody's got something to hide except for me and
my monkey.

"Me and My Monkey"

Robbie Williams

There was me and my monkey
And with his dungarees and roller blades smoking filter tips
Reclining in the passenger seat of my super-charged jet black Chevrolet
He had the soft-top down (he liked the wind in his face)
He said 'Son, you ever been to Vegas?' I said 'no'
He said 'that's where we're gonna go - you need a change of pace'
And we hit the strip with all the wedding chapels and the neon signs
He said 'I left my wallet in El Segondo' and proceeded to take two grand of mine
We made tracks to The Mandalay Bay Hotel
Asked the bell boy if he'd take me and my monkey as well?
He looked in the passenger seat of my car and with a smile he said
'If your monkey's got that kind of money sir, then we've got a monkey bed!'


Me and my monkey
With a dream and a gun
I'm hoping my monkey don't point that gun at anyone
Me and my monkey
Like Butch and the Sundance Kid
Trying to understand why he did what he did
Why he did what he did


We got the elevator, I hit the 33rd floor
We had a room up top with the panoramic views like nothing you'd ever seen
before
He went to sleep in the bidet and when he awoke
He ran his little monkey fingers through yellow pages
Called up some escort services and ordered some okey doke
Forty minutes later there came a knock at the door
In walked this big bad ass baboon into my bedroom with three monkey whores
'Hi! My name is Sunshine - these are my girls
Lace my palm with silver baby and oh yeah, they'll rock your world'
So I watched pay-per-view and polished my shoes and my gun
Was diggin' old Kurt Cobain sing about lithium
There came a knock at the door and in walked Sunshine
'What's up? You'd better get your ass in here boy, your monkey's having too
much of a good time!'


Me and my monkey
Drove in search of the sun
Me and my monkey
Don't point that gun at anyone
Me and my monkey
Like Billy The Kid
Trying to understand why he did what he did
Why he did what he did


Got tickets to see Sheena Easton, the monkey was high
Said it was a burning ambition to see her before he died
We left before encores, he couldn't sit still
Sheena was a blast baby but my monkey was ill
We went to play black-jack, kept hitting twenty three
Couldn't help but notice this Mexican just staring at me
Or was it my monkey? I couldn't be sure
It's not like you'd never seen a monkey in rollerblades and dungarees before
Now don't test my patience 'cause we're not about to run
That's a bad ass monkey boy and he's packing a gun
'My name is Rodriguez', he says with death in his eye
'I've been chasing you for a long time amigos, and now your monkey's gonna die!'

Me and my monkey
Drove in search of the sun
Me and my monkey
We don’t wanna kill no Mexican
But we got ten itchy fingers
One thing to declare
When the monkey is high
You do not stare
You do not stare
You do not stare

Looks like we got ourselves a Mexican stand off here boy
And I ain’t about to run
Put your gun down boy
How did I get mixed up with this fucking monkey anyhow

Adams Bryan -Hound Dog

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Just cryin' all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit and you ain't no friend of mine


Well they said you was high classed
Well, that was just a lie
Yeah! they said you was high classed
Well, that was just a lie
Girl you ain't never caught a rabbit and you ain't no friend of mine


Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit and you ain't no friend of mine

"Sheep"

Pink Floyd

Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland away;
Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air.
You better watch out,
There may be dogs about
I’ve looked over jordan, and I have seen
Things are not what they seem.

What do you get for pretending the danger’s not real.
Meek and obedient you follow the leader
Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel.
What a surprise!
A look of terminal shock in your eyes.
Now things are really what they seem.
No, this is no bad dream.

The lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes me down to lie
Through pastures green he leadeth me the silent waters by.
With bright knives he releaseth my soul.
He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places.
He converteth me to lamb cutlets,
For lo, he hath great power, and great hunger.
When cometh the day we lowly ones,
Through quiet reflection, and great dedication
Master the art of karate,
Lo, we shall rise up,
And then we’ll make the bugger’s eyes water.

Bleating and babbling I fell on his neck with a scream.
Wave upon wave of demented avengers
March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream.

Have you heard the news?
The dogs are dead!
You better stay home
And do as you’re told.
Get out of the road if you want to grow old.

Year of the cat-Al stewart

On a morning from a Bogart movie
In a country where they turn back time
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
Contemplating a crime
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
Like a watercolour in the rain
Don't bother asking for explanations
She'll just tell you that she came
In the year of the cat

She doesn't give you time for questions
As she locks up your arm in hers
And you follow 'till your sense of which direction
Completely disappears

By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls
There's a hidden door she leads you to
These days, she says, I feel my life
Just like a river running through
The year of the cat

Well, she looks at you so cooly
And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea
She comes in incense and patchouli
So you take her, to find what's waiting inside
The year of the cat

Well, morning comes and you're still with her
And the bus and the tourists are gone
And you've thrown away the choice and lost your ticket
So you have to stay on
But the drum-beat strains of the night remain
In the rhythm of the new-born day
You know sometime you're bound to leave her
But for now you're going to stay
In the year of the cat

"Free As A Bird"

Beatles

Free As A Bird,
It's the next best thing to be, free as a bird.
Home, home and dry
Like a hummingbird I fly, on surburban wings

Whatever happened to the life that we once knew
Can we really live without each other
Where did we lose the touch
That seemed to mean so much
It always made me feel so ...

Free As A Bird,
It's the next best thing to be, free as a bird.
Home, home and dry
Like a hummingbird I fly, on surburban wings
Whatever happened to the life that we once knew
Always made me feel soooo
Free

Free as a bird
It's the next best thing to be
Free as a bird
Free as a bird
Free as a bird

"ΤΟ ΨΑΡΑΚΙ"-NAMA



Σαν το ψαράκι πάνω κάτω

μέσα στη γυάλα μου γυρνώ

ξαπλώνω ανάσκελα στον πάτο

και κοιτάζω τον αφρό

πως μένουν όλα ίδια κι όμοια

κάθε μέρα που περνά

ας γίνει κάτι να ταράξει

της ζωής μου τα νερά

έτσι ευχόμουνα την ώρα

που μπήκες στη ζωή μου εσύ

γάτος με πέταλλα και φόρα

μια ζωντανή καταστροφή

είσαι το μάτι του κυκλώνα

και φταις που φτάσαμε ως εδώ

στο λέω,μα τον Ποσειδώνα

δε θέλω να σε ξαναδώ



Σαν το ψαράκι πάνω κάτω

μέσα στη γυάλα μου γυρνώ

πίνω μια θάλασσα άσπρο πάτο

κλαίω έναν ωκεανό

πως 'εγινε να σ'αγαπήσω

να ναυαγήσω στ'ανοιχτά

ας γίνει κάτι να γυρίσω

στα ρηχά μου τα νερά

αν βγω απ' αυτή την τρικυμμία

σώα και δίχως αμιχή

δεν ξανακάνω πια καμμία

παρακινδυνευμένη ευχή

θα'θελα να'μουνα γοργόνα

μα ένα ψαράκι είμαι μικρό

και ορκίζομαι στον Ποσειδώνα

δεν θα ξαναερωτευτω .

Θέλω να πάρω τη φυλή μου και να φύγω-Χαΐνηδες


Θέλω να πάρω τη φυλή μου και να φύγω
Δε θέλω ούτε μερτικό απ' το κοπάδι
Μού 'πες φτερά πως έχω κάποιο κρύο βράδι
μα εγώ φτερά δεν έχω, άμα δεν τ' ανοίγω


Πάρε αγέρι στα ουράνια την πνοή μας
να κάμει όσα ονειρευτήκαμε ταξίδια
Εδώ ο άρχοντας μοιράζει μπιχλιμπίδια
κι εμείς του δίνουμε στιγμές απ' τη ζωή μας


Θέλω να πάρω τη φυλή μου και να φύγω
εδώ ο έρωτας πια δεν περνοδιαβαίνει
Αφού τ' αδέρφια μας γυρνούν σαν κολασμένοι
για να μαζέψουνε το βιός τους λίγο-λίγο


Πάνω στο στέμμα μου βρυχάται άγριος λιόντας
κι είναι του άγνωστου ο πιο μεγάλος τρόμος
Το ξέρεις μάτια μου, πως δεν υπάρχει δρόμος
αφού το δρόμο τον ανοίγεις περπατώντας

"Man Gave Names to all the Animals"

Bob Dylan

Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, in the beginning.
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, long time ago.

He saw an animal that liked to growl,
Big furry paws and he liked to howl,
Great big furry back and furry hair.
"Ah, think I'll call it a bear."

Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, in the beginning.
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, long time ago.

He saw an animal up on a hill
Chewing up so much grass until she was filled.
He saw milk comin' out but he didn't know how.
"Ah, think I'll call it a cow."

Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, in the beginning.
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, long time ago.

He saw an animal that liked to snort,
Horns on his head and they weren't too short.
It looked like there wasn't nothin'
that he couldn't pull.
"Ah, think I'll call it a bull."

Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, in the beginning.
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, long time ago.

He saw an animal leavin' a muddy trail,
Real dirty face and a curly tail.
He wasn't too small and he wasn't too big.
"Ah, think I'll call it a pig."

Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, in the beginning.
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, long time ago.

Next animal that he did meet
Had wool on his back and hooves on his feet,
Eating grass on a mountainside so steep.
"Ah, think I'll call it a sheep."

Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, in the beginning.
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, long time ago.

He saw an animal as smooth as glass
Slithering his way through the grass.
Saw him disappear by a tree near a lake . . .

Free bird-Skynyrd


If I leave here tomorrow
would you still remember me
For I must be travelling on now
there's too many places I gotta see

And if I stay here with you girl
things just wouldn't be the same


For I'm as free as a bird now
and this bird you cannot change
and the bird you cannot change
and the bird you cannot change
Lord knows I can't change

Bye bye it's been sweet love
though this feeling I can't change
Please don't take it so badly
Lord knows I must play

And if I stay here with you girl
things just couldn't be the same
For I'm as free as a bird now
and this bird you cannot change
and the bird you cannot change
and the bird you cannot change
Lord knows I can't change
