1163 Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Slowly Goes The Night

Geweldig nummer!



Darling, that morning you chose to go
I woke in my boots and clothes
You dig in my cards, stole all my cash
Even my 500 dollar suit was slashed
And I just lay there watching the sun fall down from the sky
Not wanting to open the letter
But opening it anyway
And seeing those two words;

Lover lover goodbye
So slowly goes the night
Next to me lies your body
Playing like a map of some forbidden land
And I trace the ghost of your bones with my trembling hand
Dark is my night
And darker is my day
Yeah
I musta been blind, out of my mind
I never never saw the warning sign
How goes it?
It goes lonely
It goes slowly
So slowly goes the night
Ten lonely days ten lonely nights
Come
I watch the moon get flayed each night
Till the moon becomes the skinning knife
The skins of my sins I send to cover and comfort you
I know of a heaven,
But honey, I know of a hell
Yeah
I hang my head
I toss in my bed
I never never forget the words you said
One evening "I'm leaving"
And I laughed and checked her breathing
And said darling
"Go slowly through the night"
O baby I feel the heal of time
And it hurts
I wake to find you sitting right there
Cutting tangles outta your hair
Singing a song that’s all wrong
Hey, but that’s all right, I don’t care
Darling I’m sorry
For all your misery
Yeah
I reach out and embrace
An empty space
A song that slowly slowly fades
Where goes it?
It goes someplace
It goes somewhere where it’s lonely
And black as the night
Come on home, lets put things right
Put things right
I hang my head and cry cry cry
Darling all night I try
To seize on a reason for this mad mad season
The nights they are so long now
I can’t remember them being light
Call it sleep call it death, call it what you like
But only sleep, only sleep brings you back to life
Yeah
I hang my head
I toss and I sweat
I never never never can forget
How goes it?
Well I’m going
Baby slowly slowly goin'
And we both know that its gonna be alright
It ain't you that has to cry cry cry
Mm
Ten lonely days
Ten lonely nights
O since you left my side side side

1162 Interpol - Slow Hands



Yeah but nobody searches
Nobody cares somehow
When the loving that you've wasted
Comes raining from a hapless cloud
And I might stop and look upon your face
Disappears in the sweet, sweet gaze
See the living thats surrounds me
Dissipate in a violet blaze

Can't you see what you've done to my heart, and soul?
This is a wasteland now

We spies, we slow hands
Put the weights all around yourself
We spies, oh yeah we slow hands
You put the weights all around yourself now

I submit my incentive is romance
I watched the pole dance of the stars
We rejoice cause the hurting is so painless
From the distance of passing cars
But I am married to your charms and grace
I just go crazy like the good old days
You makes me want to pick up a guitar
And celebrate the myriad of ways that I love you

Can you see what you've done to my heart, and soul?
This is a wasteland now

We spies, yeah we slow hands
You put the weights all around yourself
We spies, oh yeah we slow hands
Killer for hire, you know not yourself

We spies, we slow hands
You out the weights all around yourself
We spies, oh yeah we slow hands
We retire like nobody else
We spies, intimate slow hands
Killer for hire you know not yourself
We spies, intimate slow hands
You let the face slap around the self

1161 dEUS - Right As Rain

Majestueus mooi nummer!



I'm the same by name, I had a friend called 'generous bilby'
He was the same by name
His only advice was that he died while I did a little dance
From dust to dust the preacher sighted, I did a little cry
On adjourn by name, last there at long
It's not favorably me, for not believing what I saw
His only advice was that I danced in this shinny white shirt
He should have known I'd be the last, to be there first
Right as rain
Tombstone and the damage done
How beautiful the naked skin, how beautiful it glows
This is where the bleeding stops and this is what it shows
It has turned into a scar, the same, just the same, the same
But anyway, this is where the samuel park has fit upon your toes
And a man my name had a friend called 'deadly bilby' but he slipped away
And he said, poor me out some whiskey man, there's something you should know
The person that you take me for, was buried long ago
Right as rain
Tombstone and the damage done, how beautiful the poetry, how beautiful the prose
This is where the story ends and this is where it goes
It just turned into an alibi
But anyway, this is where the samuel park has fit upon your toes

1160 The Clash - Straight to hell



If you can play on the fiddle
How's about a British jig and reel?
Speaking King's English in quotation
As railhead towns feel the steel mills rust water froze
In the generation
Clear as winter ice
This is your paradise

There ain't no need for ya
There ain't no need for ya
Go straight to Hell boys
Go straight to Hell boys

Y'wanna join in a chorus
Of the Amerasian blues?
When it's Christmas out in Ho Chi Minh City
Kiddie say papa papa papa papa papa-san take me home
See me got photo photo
Photograph of you and Mamma Mamma Mamma-san
Of you and Mamma Mamma Mamma-san
Lemme tell ya 'bout your blood bamboo kid.
It ain't Coca-Cola it's rice.

Straight to Hell, boys
Go straight to Hell, boys
Go straight to Hell, boys
Go straight to Hell, boys
Oh Papa-san
Please take me home
Oh Papa-san
Everybody they wanna go home
So Mamma-san said

You wanna play mind-crazed banjo
On the druggy-drag ragtime U.S.A.?
In Parkland International
Hey! Junkiedom U.S.A.
Where procaine proves the purest rock man groove
and rat poison
The volatile Molotov says-

PSSST...
HEY CHICO WE GOT A MESSAGE FOR YA... SI...
VAMOS VAMOS MUCHACHO
FROM ALPHABET CITY ALL THE WAY A TO Z, DEAD, HEAD

Go straight to Hell, boys
Go straight to Hell, boys
Straight to Hell

Oh Papa-San
Please take me home
There ain't no need for ya,
There ain't no need for ya

Go straight to Hell, boys
Go straight to Hell, boys

Can you cough it up loud and strong
The immigrants
They wanna sing all night long
It could be anywhere
Most likely could be any frontier
Any hemisphere
No man's land
Ain't no asylum here
King Solomon he never lived round here

Straight to Hell, boys
Go straight to Hell, boys
Go straight to Hell, boys
Go straight to Hell, boys

Oh Papa-San
Please take me home
Oh Papa-San
Everybody, they wanna go home now

Goed afgewacht ranja!

1158 Counting Crows - Rain King

Een klassieker van hun eerste plaat. Vanochtend nog gedraaid en hij is toch wel erg sterk.



When I think of heaven
Deliver me in a black-winged bird
I think of flying down into a sea of pens and feathers
And all other instruments of faith and sex and God in the belly of a black-winged bird.
Dont try to feed me
Ive been here before and I deserve a little more

I belong in the service of the queen
I belong anywhere but in between
Shes been crying, Ive been thinking
And I am the rain king

And I said mama, mama, mama, why am I so alone?
I cant go outside
Im scared I might not make it home
Im alive, Im alive but Im sinking in
If theres anyone at home at your place, darling
Why dont you invite me in?
Dont try to bleed me
Cause Ive been there before and I deserve a little more

I belong in the service of the queen
I belong anywhere but in between
Shes been lying, Ive been sinking
And I am the rain king

Hey, I only want the same as anyone
Henderson is waiting for the sun
Oh, it seems night endlessly begins and ends
After all the dreaming I come home again...

When I think of heaven
Deliver me in a black-winged bird
I think of dying
Lay me down in a field of flame and heather
Render up my body into the burning heart of God in the belly of a black-winged bird
Dont try to bleed me
Cause Ive been here before and I deserve a little more

I belong in the service of the queen
I belong anywhere but in between
Shes been dying, Ive been drinking
And I am the rain king

1157 Raymond van het Groenewoud - Kamiel

Hier een klassieker van deze held, van het legendarische live-album Kamiel in België
Wederom helaas geen youtubje te vinden

.

De meeste liedjes gaan over hondjes
Maar dit gaat over liefde
Het heet Kamiel
Ka-miel

Ik heb een hondje
Het heet Kamiel
Het is een diertje
Kwispelend
Het eet kilo's
Vlees
Fantastisch
Zoals jij, wij

Bloemen kan men kopen
Sla
Ook ja

Ik heb een hondje


Het volgende heet ook Kamiel, maar het is in la
Dus even goed opletten
Het heet Kamiel
Ka-miel


Ik heb een hondje
Het heet Kamiel
Het is een diertje
Kwispelend
Het eet kilo’s
Champignons
Fantastisch
Zoals wij allemaal als we maar willen

Bloemen kan men kopen
Sla
Ook
Ik zei ook, ja

Ik heb een hondje

1156 Kinks - Do You Remember Walter

Heel mooi nummer van Village Green Preservation Society over de vergankelijkheid van oude vriendschappen....



Walter, remember when the world was young
And all the girls knew walters name?
Walter, isnt it a shame the way our little world has changed?
Do you remember, walter, playing cricket in the thunder and the rain?
Do you remember, walter, smoking cigarettes behind your garden gate?
Yes, walter was my mate,
But walter, my old friend, where are you now?

Walters name.
Walter, isnt it a shame the way our little world has changed?
Do you remember, walter, how we said wed fight the world so wed be free.
Wed save up all our money and wed buy a boat and sail away to sea.
But it was not to be.
I knew you then but do I know you now?

Walter, you are just an echo of a world I knew so long ago
If you saw me now you wouldnt even know my name.
I bet youre fat and married and youre always home in bed by half-past eight.
And if I talked about the old times youd get bored and youll have nothing more to say.
Yes people often change, but memories of people can remain.

1154 Elliott Smith - Alameda

Wat een geweldige tekst van een van de beste (om niet te zeggen: de beste) songwriters aller tijden.



You walk down Alameda shuffling your deck of trick cards over everyone
Like some precious only son
Face down, bow to the champion
You walk down Alameda looking at the cracks in the sidewalk, thinking about your friends
How you maintain all them in a constant set of suspense

For your own protection, over their affection
Nobody broke your heart
You broke your own 'cos you can't finish what you start

Walk down Alameda brushing off the nightmares you wish could plague me when I'm awake
So now you see your first mistake was thinking that you could relate
For one or two minutes she liked you
But the fix is in

You're all pretension, I never pay attention
Nobody broke your heart
You broke your own 'cos you can't finish what you start
Nobody broke your heart
You broke your own 'cos you can't finish what you start
Nobody broke your heart
You broke your own 'cos you can't finish what you start
Nobody broke your heart
If you're alone, it must be you that wants to be apart

1153: Spock's Beard - Go the way you go





Look
Another heart is beating
But how?
Why?
There must be some way to know
So many roads are weaving
And I
Wish
I knew which way I should go

Go the way you go
You can't know what you don't know
Go the way
Go the way you go

So
You say the world if perfect
And all
There is
is all there could be
But it's all just words to me
Can
You
Say more 'cause I want to know

Go the way you go
You can't know what you don't know
Go the way
Go the way you go

Half moon bay playin' forty fives
Hammer's in the window while the moose man drives
And they're passing cars like people
And they never say the things they know
And the master of disaster is sleepin' in the road

Carbon copy of the last place you know
The past is telling how the future will go
And I can't believe you're asking (In your mind)
I can't believe it's taking (so much time)
Sometimes you know the sun can burn you blind

Go the way you go

All kinds of people
Ain't tied to no mast
Got all kinds of visions
Of futures and pasts

They won't confiscate you
They'll quote you no facts
They are the human tides turning
They are the fire burning
Waving their banner of white
The people are right
The people are right
The people are right!

The people are right
The people are right
Are they right?!

Look
Another day is breaking
And hot
Light
Will soon turn the black to blue
I know these roads are weaving
But it's
Alright
Trust in the ones you choose

Go the way you go
(and trust what you choose)
You can't know what you don't know
(there ain't no way to lose now)
Go the way you go
(no matter what you do)
You can't know what you don't know
Go the way you go

1152 Moondog Jr. - Shall I Let This Good Man In

De voorloper van Zita Swoon, waarin de geniale Stef Kamil Carlens al liet horen een geweldig componist / zanger te zijn. Prachtige, meeslepende songs.



Hey, stranger
Would you come in through my door
If not now I'll leave it ajar
And then maybe you could come back
I'll be waiting here for you
I'll be hoping here for you
I'll be praying here that you'll believe it's true
That in all these lonely years
I would I have loved your company
But I never could give in
To this fragile side of me
You see I've always been a man of great ambition
But success just turned his back and never came
And now I find I became a man
Of even greater solitude
And I wish I'd spend more time making friends
With guys like you
Oh, stranger
How can I make your stay?
For a little while
Oh, stranger
Please, don't go away

I'm living on
I'm singing on
Just let me sing one song for you

Hey, stranger
This is my song
It is old and it is ragged
I tried it for too long
I tried it time after time
To forget about myself
And to hide in it a while
But a while's been goin' on
Since I can't remember when
And got catched up by the life
Of a lost and lonely man
I think I'm-a sung away a lttle faster
Then I planned

Hey, stranger
This is my life
I can't use it anymore
For I share it with no one but myself
I can't fool you anymore
Let me hide with you a while
Let me try a little while
And then maybe
You'll believe it's true
That in all the years I spent
With the glory of a fool
Making diamonds outta tears
On the highest bid to go
I've been searching for a friend
To tell my troubles to
But I could never understand
How to get out of that cell
Please don't send me back to hell

1151 Mink Deville - Demasiado Corazón



Every morning I’m broken
Every day I die
Every night I weaken
And every night I cry
Standing in the rain
In the street outside
Running down my face
Tears in my eyes

Demasiado Corazon( - Demasiado Corazon - )
Demasiado Corazon
Demasiado Corazon( - Demasiado Corazon - )
Demasiado Corazon

Don’t know why I wake up
Don’t know why I try
Was that me the cool one
Or some other guy
standing in the shadows
Of the sky above
No one knows I’m crying
Beaten by my love

Demasiado Corazon( - Demasiado Corazon - )
Demasiado Corazon
Demasiado Corazon( - Demasiado Corazon - )
Demasiado Corazon

- INSTRUMENTAL -

Cada manaña
Estoy quebrado
Y por las noches
Me despierto
Lacrimas en mi cara
Abajo de la lluvia
Lonely with my pride
Holding in my pain

Demasiado Corazon( - Demasiado Corazon - )
Demasiado Corazon
Demasiado Corazon( - Demasiado Corazon - )
Demasiado Corazon

Edit..

Ow sorry,

I am the cool is ook goed, Little Demon is die al eens langsgekomen?

Dubbel zie 1489, maar van de meest grappige bluesartiest mag wel wat meer geplaatst worden.



Kon geen lyrics vinden, maar niets is overdreven natuurlijk.

1148 David Bowie - Suffragette City

Hey Man! Tijd voor weer een nummer van Bowie. Hij schreef dit voor Mott the Hoople, maar die bedankten hiervoor. Toen zette hij het maar op het Ziggy Stardust album. Blijft een lekkere meezinger



(hey man) oh leave me alone you know
(hey man) oh henry, get off the phone, I gotta
(hey man) I gotta straighten my face
This mellow thighed chick just put my spine out of place

You know my suffragette city

Oh dont lean on me man
Cause you aint got time to check it
You know my suffragette city

Oh hit me!

Oh dont lean on me man, cause you cant afford the ticket

Oh, suffragette
Suffragette!

1147 Rod Stewart - Maggie May

'Herontdekt' dankzij de coverplaat van Matthew Sweet & Susanna Hoffs.



Wake up maggie I think I got something to say to you
Its late september and I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused but I feel Im being used
Oh maggie I couldnt have tried any more
You lured me away from home just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart and thats what really hurt

The morning sun when its in your face really shows your age
But that dont worry me none in my eyes youre everything
I laughed at all of your jokes my love you didnt need to coax
Oh, maggie I couldnt have tried any more
You lured me away from home, just to save you from being alone
You stole my soul and thats a pain I can do without

All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
But you turned into a lover and
Mother what a lover, you wore me out
All you did was wreck my bed
And in the morning kick me in the head
Oh maggie I couldnt have tried anymore
You lured me away from home cause you didnt want to be alone
You stole my heart I couldnt leave you if I tried

I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school
Or steal my daddys cue and make a living out of playing pool
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helpin hand
Oh maggie I wish Id never seen your face
You made a first-class fool out of me
But Im as blind as a fool can be
You stole my heart but I love you anyway

Maggie I wish Id never seen your face
Ill get on back home one of these days

1146 Pixies - Levitate Me

Won't you please run over me (5x)
Me, me, me, me, ...

1145 Soul Asylum - Runaway Train



Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a slow torch burning
I was a key that could use a little turning

So tired that I couldn't even sleep
So many secrets I couldn't keep
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep

It seems no one can help me now
I'm in too deep
There's no way out
This time I have really led myself astray

CHORUS
Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here no there

Can you help me remember how to smile
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did I get so jaded
Life's mystery seems so faded

I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Here I am just drownin' in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train

Everything is cut and dry
Day and night, earth and sky
Somehow I just don't believe it

CHORUS

Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughin' at the rain
Little out of touch, little insane
Just easier than dealing with the pain

Runaway train never comin' back
Runaway train tearin' up the track
Runaway train burnin' in my veins
Runaway but it always seems the same

1144 Magnolia Electric Co. - Josephine

Deze man, Jason Molina, moet er hoe dan ook in!

1143 The Chocolate Watchband-It's All Over Now Baby Blue

Door het Bob Dylan-toernooi weer wat extra Dylan aan het luisteren, en ook wat Dylan-covers natuurlijk. Dit blijft een hele mooie:

1142 Jawat! - Tisnietwatjeziet

Er mag wel weer een hiphopplaat in, en wel één van de altijd boze Jawat.

De Queen of Soul ontbreekt vooralsnog in de lijst... tijd om daar verandering in te brengen! En wel met een lekkere uptempo soulklassieker, uitgebracht in 1968 als single van het geweldige album Lady Soul (ook met o.a. Natural Woman en Chain of Fools).

1141 Aretha Franklin - (Sweet Sweet Baby) Since You've Been Gone



Baby baby, sweet baby
There's something that I just got to say
Baby baby, sweet baby
You left me hurtin' in a real cold way

Speak your name
And I'll feel a thrill
You said I do
And I said I will

I tell you that I'll stay true
and give you just a little time
Wait on me baby,
I want you to be all mine
I just get so blue

Since you've been gone, baby
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)
Since you've been gone
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)

(bridge)

Baby baby, sweet baby
I didn't mean to run you away
It was pride on my lips,
But not in my heart
To say the things that made you stray
But ah, babe
Hear me now
(hear me)
I don't know what I'm gonna do
(hear me)
Got to get you back somehow
(hear me now)
Oooh, take me back,
consider me please
If you walk in that door,
I can get up off my knees
I just been so blue

Since you've been gone
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)
Since you've been gone
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)
Well I've been so lonely
(sweet sweet - sweet sweet baby)
Baby, since you've been gone
(sweet sweet - sweet sweet baby)
I've been so lonely
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)
Since you've been gone
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)
Baby baby baby been so lonely
(sweet sweet - sweet sweet baby)
