Pequena lista de letras e midis que tenho recolhido nas minhas andanças pelo ciberespaço
Ironic- Alanis
Morissette
An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes late
Isn't it ironic...don't you think
Chorus:
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought...it figures
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
He waited his whole life to take that flight
And as the plane crasheddown he thought "Well isn't this
nice..."
And isn't it ironic...don't you think
Repeat Chorus
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up In your
face
A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic...don't you think
A little too ironic...and yeah I really do think...
Repeat Chorus
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out
Jump-
Van Halen
I
get up, and nothing gets me down.
You got it tough. I've seen the toughest around.
And I know, baby, just how you feel.
You've got to roll with the punches to get to what's real
Oh can't you see me standing here,
I've got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen.
Oh can't you see what I mean ?
Might as well jump. Jump !
Might as well jump.
Go ahead, jump. Jump !
Go ahead, jump.
Aaa-ohh Hey you ! How said that ?
Baby how you been ?
You say you don't know, you won't know
until we begin.
Well can't you see me standing here,
I've got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen.
Oh can't you see what I mean ?
Human
Behaviour- Bjork
If you ever get close to a human
And human behaviour
Be ready to get confused
There's definitely, definitely, definitely no logic
To human behaviour
But yet so, yet so irresistible
And there's no map
They're terribly moody
And human behaviour
Then all of a sudden turn happy
But, oh, to get involved in the exchange
Of human emotions is ever so, ever so satisfying
Oh oh, and there's no map
Human behaviour, human
Human, human behaviour, human
Human, human behaviour, human
Human behaviour, human
And there's no map
And a compass
Wouldn't help at all
Human behaviour, human, human
Human behaviour, human,
Human behaviour, human,
Human behaviour
There's definitely, definitely, definitely no logic
Human, human
Human behaviour
Human.
There's definitely, definitely, definitely no logic
Human, human, human, human.
Oh So
Quiet- Bjork
Shhhh, Shhhh
It's, oh, so quiet
It's, oh, so still
You're all alone
And so peaceful until...
You fall in love
Zing boom
The sky up above
Zing boom
Is caving in
Wow bam
You've never been so nuts about a guy
You wanna laugh you wanna cry
You cross your heart and hope to die
'Til it's over and then
Shhh, Shhh
It's nice and quiet
Shhh, Shhh
But soon again
Shhh, Shhh
Starts another big riot
You blow a fuse, zing boom
The devil cuts loose, zing boom
So what's the use, wow bam
Of falling in love
It's, oh, so quiet
It's, oh, so still
You're all alone
And so peaceful until...
You ring the bell, bim bam
You shout and you yell, hi ho ho
You broke the spell
Gee, this is swell you almost have a fit
This guy is "gorge" and I got hit
There's no mistake this is it
'Til it's over and then
It's nice and quiet
Shhh, Shhh
But soon again
Shhh, Shhh
Starts another big riot
You blow a fuse
Zing boom
The devil cuts loose
Zing boom
What's the use
Wow bam
Of falling in love
The sky caves in
The devil cuts loose
You blow blow blow blow blow your fuse
When you've fallen in love
Ssshhhhhh...
Give Me One
Reason- Traci Chapman
Give me one reason to stay here - and I'll turn right back around
Give me one reason to stay here - and I'll turn right back around
Because I don't want leave you lonely
But you got to make me change my mind

But you know that I called you, I called too many times
You can call me baby, you can call me anytime
But you got to call me
Give me one reason to stay here - and I'll turn right back around
Give me one reason to stay here - and I'll turn right back around

But you got to make me change my mind

I don't want no one to squeeze me - they might take away my life
I just want someone to hold me and rock me through the night
This youthful heart can love you and give you what you need
This youthful heart can love you and give you what you need
But I'm too old to go chasing you around
Wasting my precious energy
Give me one reason to stay here - and I'll turn right back around
Give me one reason to stay here - and I'll turn right back around
Because I don't want leave you lonely
But you got to make me change my mind
Baby just give me one reason - Give me just one reason why
Baby just give me one reason - Give me just one reason why I
should stay
Because I told you that I loved you
And there ain't no more to say
A Vaca De Fogo-
Madredeus
À porta
daquela igreja
vai um grande corropio
À volta
duma coisa velha
reina grande confusão
Os putos
já fogem dela
deita o fogo a rebentar
soltaram
uma vaca em chamas
com um homem a guiar
São voltas
Ai amor são voltas
sete voltas
são as voltas da maralha
Ai são voltas
Ai amor são voltas
são as voltas
são as voltas da canalha
No largo
daquela igreja
vive o ser tradicional
à volta
duma coisa velha
e não muda a condição
Psycho Killer-
Talking Heads
I can't seem to face up to the facts
I'm tense and nervous and I
Can't relax
I can't sleep 'cause my bed's on fire
Don't touch me I'm a real live wire
Psycho Killer

fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Psycho Killer
Qu'est Que C'est
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
You start a conversation you can't even finish it.
You're talkin' a lot, but you're not sayin' anything.
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed.
Say something once, why say it again?
Psycho Killer,
Qu'est Que C'est
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Psycho Killer
Qu'est Que C'est
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Ce que j'ai fais, ce soir la
Ce qu'elle a dit, ce soir la
Realisant mon espoir
Je me lance, vers la gloire ... OK
We are vain and we are blind
I hate people when they're not polite
Psycho Killer,
Qu'est Que C'est
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Psycho Killer,
Qu'est Que C'est
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...
Wild Wild Life-
talking Heads
I'm wearin'
Fur pyjamas
I ride a
Hot Potata'
It's tickling my fancy
Speak up, I can't hear you
Here on this mountaintop
Woahoho
I got some wild, wild life
I got some new to tell ya
Woahoho
About some wild, wild life
Here comes the doctor in charge
Woahoho
She's got some wild, wild life
Ain't that the way you like it?
Ho, ha!
Living wild, wild life.
I wrestle, with your conscience
You wrestle, with your partner
Sittin' on a window sill, but he
Spends time behind closed doors
Check out Mr. Businessman
Oh, ho ho
He bought some wild, wild life
On the way to the stock exchange
Oh, ho ho
He got some wild, wild life
Break it up when he opens the door
Whoahoho
He's doin' wild, wild life
I know that's the way you like it
Wo ho
Living wild, wild life
Peace of mind?
Piece of cake!
Thought control!
You get on board anytime you like
Like sittin' on pins and needles
Things fall apart, it's scientific
Sleeping on the interstate
Woah ho ah
Getting wild, wild life
Checkin' in, a checkin' out!
Uh, huh!
I got a wild, wild life
Spending all of my money and time
Oh, ho ho
Done too much wild, wild
We wanna go, where we go, where we go
Oh, ho ho!
I doing wild, wild
I know it, that's how we start
Uh, huh
Got some wild, wild life
Take a picture, here in the daylight
Oh, ho!
And it's a wild, wild life
You've grown so tall, you've grown so fast
Oh, ho ho
Wild, wild
I know that's the way you like it
Oh, ho!
Living wild wild wild wild, life.
Once in a
Lifetime- Talking Heads
And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful
wive
And you may ask yourself-Well...How did I get here?
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.
And you may ask yourself
How do I work this?
And you may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house!
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife!
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever
was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever
was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Water dissolving...and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Carry the water at the bottom of the ocean
Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean!
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/in the silent water
Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground.
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.
And you may ask yourself
What is that beautiful house?
And you may ask yourself
Where does that highway go?
And you may ask yourself
Am I right?...Am I wrong?
And you may tell yourself
My God...what have I done?
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/in the silent water
Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground.
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever
was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever
was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Crying In The
Rain- Whitesnake
A black cat moans
When he's burning with the fever.
A stray dog howls
When he's lonely in the night.
A woman goes crazy
With the though of retribution.
But, a man starts weeping
When he's sick and tired of life.
I keep on dreaming dreams of tomorrow
Feel I'm wasting my time
Lighting candles in the wind,
Always taking my chances
On the promise of the future
But, a heart full of sorrow
Paints a lonely tapestry.
The sun is shining
But, it's raining in my heart.
No one understands the heartache,
No one feels the pain,
'Cos no one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
Crying in the rain.
I can never deny
All the sweet things I have tasted
Tho' I've been mistreated
I keep coming back for more,
I know where I'm going
There's no hope of absolution
I can't seem to separate
The good times from the bad.
The sun is shining
But, it's raining in my heart.
No one understands the heartache,
No one feels the pain,
'Cos no one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain.
The sun is shining
But, it's raining in my heart.
No one understands the heartache,
No one feels the pain,
'Cos no one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain.
Crying in the rain.
Victim Of Love-
Whitesnake
I'm down on love
An' I don't give a damn,
I take my chances
Whenever I can.
Like a lamb to the slaughter,
Another sacrifice,
For giving love to woman
With a heart stone cold as ice.
I'm down on love
An' I'm clean out of pain,
I ain't no stranger
To the crying game.
Too scared to suffer,
An' too blind to see,
But, I played with fire
An' I got what was coming to me.
Now, one more heartache
Don't bother me,
Just one more lonely night
To drown in misery.
I am a victim of love,
A victim of love,
Lord, I never thought
I'd be a victim of love.
Victim of love, victim of love,
Lord, I never thought
I'd be a victim of love.
I'm down on love
An' I feel like a fool
To beg for mercy
'Cos I broke the rules.
So do me no favours
With your cool advice,
I know the losing cost,
An' I'll pay the price.
One more heartache
Don't bother me
One more lonely night
To drown in misery.
I am a victim of love,
A victim of love,
Lord, I never thought
I'd be a victim of love.
Victim of love,
A victim of love,
Lord, I never thought
I'd be a victim of love.
One more heartache
Don't bother me
One more lonely night
To drown in misery.
Victim of love,
A victim of love,
Lord, I never thought
I'd be a victim of love...
Here I Go Again-
Whitesnake
I don't know where I'm going
But, I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises
In songs of yesterday
An' I've made up my mind,
I ain't wasting no more time
But, here I go again
Here I go again.
Tho' I keep searching for an answer,
I never seem to find what I'm looking for
Oh Lord, I pray
You give me strength to carry on,
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams.
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a hobo I was born to walk alone.
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time.
I'm just another heart in need of rescue,
Waiting on love's sweet charity.
An' I'm gonna hold on
For the rest of my days,
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams.
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a hobo I was born to walk alone.
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time.
But, here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go.
An' I've made up my mind,
I ain't wasting no more time.
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a hobo I was born to walk alone.
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams.
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a hobo I was born to walk alone.
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time.
But, here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go,
Here I go again.
Moonlight
Shadow- Mike Oldfield
The last that ever she saw him
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
He passed on worried and warning
Carried away by a moonlight shadow.
Lost in a river last saturday night
Far away on the other side.
He was caught in the middle of a desperate fight
And she couldn't find how to push through
The trees that whisper in the evening
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Sing a song of sorrow and grieving
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
All she saw was a silhouette of a gun
Far away on the other side.
He was shot six times by a man on the run
And she couldn't find how to push through
I stay
I pray
I see you in heaven far away
I stay
I pray
I see you in heaven far away
Four AM in the morning
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
I watched your vision forming
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Star was light in a silvery night
Far away on the other side
Will you come to talk to me this night
But she couldn't find how to push through
I stay
I pray
I see you in heaven far away
I stay
I pray
I see you in heaven far away
Far away on the other side.
Caught in the middle of a hundred and five
The night was heavy but the air was alive
She couldn't find how to push through
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Far away on the other side.
Garota De
Ipanema- Tom Jobim
Olha que coisa mais linda
Mais cheia de graça
É ela menina, que vem e que passa
Num doce balanço a caminho do mar
Moça do corpo dourado
Do sol de Ipanema
O seu balançado é mais que um poema
É a coisa mais linda que já vi passar
Ai! Como estou tão sozinho
Ai! Como tudo é tão triste
Ai! A beleza que existe
A beleza que não é só minha
E também passa sozinha
Ai! Se ela soubesse que quando ela passa
O mundo interinho se enche de graça
E fica mais lindo por causa do amor
Só por causa do amor...
Postal Dos
Correios- Rio Grande
Querida mãe, querido pai. Então que tal?
Nós andamos do
jeito que Deus quer
Entre dias que passam menos mal
Lá vem um que nos dá mais que fazer
Mas falemos de coisas bem melhores
A Laurinda faz vestidos por medida
O rapaz estuda nos computadores
Dizem que é um emprego com saída
Cá chegou direitinha a encomenda
Pelo expresso que parou na Piedade
Pão de trigo e linguiça pr'a merenda
Sempre dá para enganar a saudade
Espero que não demorem a mandar
Novidade na volta do correio
A ribeira corre bem ou vai secar?
Como estão as oliveiras de candeio?
Já não tenho mais assunto p'ra escrever
Cumprimentos ao nosso pessoal
Um abraço deste que tanto vos quer
Sou capaz de ir aí pelo Natal
