Oasis - The Importance Of Being Idle



Ahora sí que empieza el curso. Canción de fin de vacaciones.

I sold my soul for the second time, 'cause the man don't pay me.
I begged my landlord for some more time, he said "Son, the bill's waiting."
My best friend called me the other night, he said, "Man, are you crazy?"
My girlfriend told me to get a life, she said, "Boy, you lazy."

But I don't mind, as long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine.
I'll be fine - if you give me a minute, a man's got a limit. 
I can't get a life if my heart's not in it.

[Solo]

I don't mind, as long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine.
I'll be fine - if you give me a minute, a man's got a limit. 
I can't get a life if my heart's not in it.

I lost my faith in the summertime, 'cause it don't stop raining.
The sky all day is black as night, but I know I can't blame me.
I begged my Doctor for one more line, he said "Son, words fail me!"
There ain't no place to be killing time, I guess I'm just lazy.

I don't mind, as long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine.
I'll be fine - if you give me a minute, a man's got a limit. 
I can't get a life if my heart's not in it.

Nacho Vegas - Nuevos planes, idénticas estrategias



“Parece ser que va a llover, el aire hoy es más cálido”, me dijo una mujer de aspecto amable y peinado imposible esta mañana en el ascensor. ¿Por qué nadie me iba a mentir allí? Tal revelación me impidió dormir. Tracé un ambicioso plan; consistía en sobrevivir. Y mi voz era un imán, y así logré captar, paseando por el Carrefour, a un ejército de un centenar. Y nos reuniremos en los aeropuertos, y al calor de una smoking-room en la que no entra aire ni luz hablaremos del tiempo y acaso del gobierno, y trazaremos nuestro magno plan, y a una estación sucederá otra igual.

Parece ser que fracasé; mi rostro hoy no apareció por televisión. Da igual; yo, como buen occidental, sé nadar igual que un pez, un pez en un mar de mediocridad. Casi claudiqué. Les oí decir: “con lo que hay dentro de ti, no estará nada mal si mañana estás aquí”. Y en la cama de un sucio hospital continúo en soledad disparando como Kevin Ayers a una luna llena, tan, tan llena, que no puedo fallar, que no voy a fallar. Y sé que no querrás volver a confiar en mí; ya nadie confía en la energía nuclear después de lo de Chernobyl. Pero el cielo, aun tan negro, es nuestro cielo, es nuestro, y tengo un ambicioso plan; consiste en sobrevivir. (Te quiero, y no he hecho y sé que no haré jamás nada más real y nada más sincero. Te quiero, y tengo un plan para los dos; consiste en sobrevivir.)

Chuck Norris se enfada al oir hablar inglés a Ana Botella

Franz Ferdinand - Walk Away (2005)

I love the sound of our walking away cuando nos vamos del duelo antes de las 2.


Innocence for pride, crush the end within my stride
Said I'm strong now I know that I'm a leader
I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away
Mascara bleeds a blackened tear
Oh, and I am cold, yes I'm cold, but not as cold as you are
I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away
I love the sound of you walking away, walking away, hey, hey


Why don't you walk away? Why don't you walk away?
Why don't you walk away? No buildings will fall down
Why don't you walk away? No quake will split the ground
Why don't you walk away? The sun won't swallow the sky
Why don't you walk away? Statues will not cry
Why don't you walk away? Why don't you walk away?
Why don't you walk away? 
Why don't you walk away? 



I cannot turn to see those eyes, as apologies may rise
I must be strong and stay an unbeliever
And love the sound of you walking away, you walking away
Mascara bleeds into my eye
Oh, and I'm not cold, I am old, at least as old as you are



And as you walk away, oh as you walk away
And as you walk away, my headstone crumbles down
As you walk away, the Hollywood winds will howl
As you walk away, the Kremlins falling
Oh, as you walk away, Radio 4 is static
As you walk away, oh, as you walk away
Oh, as you walk away, oh, as you walk away, hey



The stab of stilettos
On a silent night
Stalin smiles and Hitler laughs
Churchill claps Mao Tse-Tung on the back

Maxisingles

¿Os acordáis cuando se pusieron de moda los maxisingles?

Aquí va una de "las famosas" de Talking Heads a 45 rpm.


David Byrne & St. Vincent - 'Who'

Cosas que ocurren en la carretera...


(Byrne)
Who'll be my valentine
Who'll lift this heavy load
Who'll share this taxi cab
Who'll want to climb aboard

(Clark)
Who is an honest man
Who is an honest man

(Byrne)
Who'll help the time soldier
Far from his own town
Carry these men and women
Who get lost when the sun goes down

(Clark)
Who is an honest man
Who is an honest man

(Byrne)
Who walks this dusty road
Who always pulls away
Who's this inside of me
Who made a big mistake

Who sees these constellations
Seen in those spinning round
Carry these men and women
Who get lost when the sun goes down

(Clark)
Who is an honest man
Who is an honest man

(Byrne & Clark)
With a graceful motion 
She sat down slowly
Drank a cup of coffee 
And she'll fold her laundry
She begins to tell us all her life story
All around the table, everybody's staring

(Byrne)
Who shouts out 'Hallelujah'
Who's gonna sing out loud
Carry these men and women
Who get lost when the sun goes down

Who's gettin' out of here
Who thinks they're right away
Who's gonna be my friend
All around the table, everybody's staring

Arctic Monkeys - Love is a Laserquest (lyrics)

Calidad en estado puro: la música, la letra...




The Cure - Pictures Of You

¡Hola a todos! Un nuevo curso nos espera, espero que todos estéis satisfechos con el reparto del viernes. A los que estuvisteis el año pasado y no os han asignado todavía, ojalá lo hagan el 23.

En lo personal he empezado el curso con una tía a la que aprecio enormemente en el hospital. Esta canción de The Cure se la dedico. Un beso, Elena.
