Bat for Lashes....The caves of our mouths are forests....

Darkness and the air, in between this sofa, flowing and the rushing, wolverine flies past, his shiny shiny teeth, she is kind, he is free full of knowing, she is sure, the caves our mouths are bears, bellies and the air, in between this spewing, comets and the dancing, centre queen flies past, her tiny tiny teeth, he is kind, she is free, wants to show himshes is sure, find him in the bats mouth....

The Notwist....You're the colour, you're the movement and the spin....

never could it stay with me, the whole day long, fare with consequence, lose with elloquence and smile, Im not in this movie, Im not in this song, never leave me paralised love, never leave me hypnotised love, Youre the colour, youre the movement and the spin, never could stay with me the whole day long, fare with consequence, lose with elloquence and smile youre not in this song....

La Barranca....Hoy no es un diá comun....

hoy es un día negro, la realidad otra vez, muestra su rostro siniestro al ir abriendo la puerta, un aire violento me dice sin piedad, que no estas ahí, Alguien se roba la luz, alguien se roba tu perro, alguien se roba también, eso que estás escribiendo, alguien se roba tu nombre, tu paz y tu tiempo y sólo salvarás, tu propia visión, Día negro, hoy es un día negro día negro, hoy es un día así, un tiburón con poder y un gatillero sin riesgos, alguien dispuesto a morder, por no perder su empleo, Todos tomando de un vino que no produjeron y sin pisar jamás la línea de fuego. Día negro, hoy es un día negro, día negro, hoy es un día así....

Calexico....Yo canto en mi corazón y Tú, mi amigo, me inspiras mis pasos...

Me voy por el mundo conociendo varia gente pero nunca hay una persona como Tú...Mírame, ya estoy aquí si pudieras mirarme, qué pensarás de mí...Pero hoy es muy tarde para dedirte que estoy cambiado, me duele, me duele que ya no estás aquí...ya es muy tarde para decirte que estoy cambiado, ya es muy tarde para decirte que estoy cambiado...Mírame, ya Yo estoy aquí, Si pudieras mirarme, qué pensarás de mí...pero hoy es muy tarde, para decirte que estoy cambiado, me duele, me duele que ya no estás aquí, me duele,me duele que ya no estás aquí, no estás aquí, junto a mí, no estás aquí, junto a mí...!!!!

The Postal Service....I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles in our eyes....

are mirror images and when we kiss they're perfectly aligned and I have to speculate that God himself, did make us into corresponding shapes like, puzzle pieces from the clay true, it may seem like a stretch, but Its thoughts like this that catch my troubled head when you're away when I am missing you to deathwhen you are out there on the road for several weeks of shows and when you scan the radio, I hope this song will guide you home, they will see us waving from such great heights, 'come down now,' they'll say but everything looks perfect from far away, 'come down now,' but we'll stay, I tried my best to leave this all on your, machine but the persistent beat it sounded, thin upon listening that frankly will not fly. you will hear, the shrillest highs and lowest lows with, the windows down when this is guiding you home....

The Black Heart Procession....Days peel off and pass away....

like souvenirs from a distant place, postcards from your memories, just like an old love line or dividing wall that fell, this'll never be forgotten, these are not just words, do you remember the things we said? do you remember the things we said? the smoke and script changed through the years, the stories blend and lies were fed, I know some things can't be explained, just like an old scar or this thorn in my side, this'll never be forgotten these are not just words, do you remember the things we said?do you remember the things we said? I'll try to remember the things we said, I'll try to remember the things we said of all these things we have forgotten....

Siempre en nuestro interior....

Friendly Fires....I close my eyes on the dancefloor....

Forget about you, I lose myself in flashing colors, I've gotta see it through, You're too much, I take it that we're over, should we even care at all? You're too much, too much, shake hands and say goodbye, Your love is out but even despite it all, give me your hand, let's face this night and see it through right by my feet, lay broken glasses, Skeleton boy, sweat from the walls, drips on my shoulder, I gotta see it through, You're too much, I take it that we're over, should we even care at all? You're too much, too much, Shake hands and say goodbye, your love is out but even despite it all, give me your hand, let's face this night and see it through your love is out, but even despite it all, give me your hand, let's face this night and see it through....

The Rumble Strips....1, 2, 3, 4 There's nothing left for us.....

we're rotting in this place and the night has lost it's taste the bells of doom are ringing, but you don't hear them, You say "come on back to bed" and I say "you must be dead, don't you hear big bells ringing, don't you hear those voices singing?" It's only time, let it pass away, It's only time, let it pass away, well I run into the streets and I scream from the depths of my lungs "well I see you've finally come!, good evening Mister Reaper, what's that you're saying? All my hopes and dreams are dead? that I should go back to my bed" I wake up a new man, singing the only words I can, It's only time, let it pass away, It's only time, let it pass away, It's only time, let it pass awayIt's only time, let it pass away....

Sons and Daughters....With the same eyes as me the same fearing frame ....

We can try and disguise compromise rights and I know what you're thinking we wear the same dress, the same colours right, Is this what suits our weakened pride? how do I know cos you're my blood with the kinks and wires like me, the same fearing frame, we can run and hide, see the signs, call to no-one, taste with the same tongue, swelling up inside we can speak and resign, what's yours is mine blood....

Minutemen....The people will survive....

In their environment
The dirt, scarcity, and emptiness
of our South
the injustices of our greed
the practices we merit
the dirt, scarcity and emptiness
of our South, there on the beach
I could see it in her eyes
I only had a Corona
Five cents deposit....
in retrospect, the saddest song in the world

Mother and The Addicts....Kicked in the head by the unkind my ego in shreds they bruised my mind

Color Humano....

Client....What brought us to this, what brought us to life....

what brought us to the here and now, this trouble in time, what brought us to this, what brought us to mind, what brought us to the now and then this trouble in time, You know you're sick you play your power games, I know you're not beyond the blame, you know you lie and then deny, you know you're throwing your love, our love away, you know you're turning you turn your heart away, you know you've fallen in love with deepest lies, You know you're pushing you push your luck again, you know you're twisted you twist the knife again, you know i'll save my pain for the darkest night, we know there's nothing we know the past is gone, I realise you're not the only one, I'll take my time the future's bright....

Pet Shop Boys....I came across a cache of old photos....

and invitations to teenage parties "dress in white" one said, with quotations, from someone's wife, a famous writer, in the nineteen-twenties, when you're young you find inspiration, in anyone who's ever gone and opened up a closing door, she said: "we were never feeling bored 'cause we were never being boring, we had too much time to find for ourselvesand we were never being boring, we dressed up and fought, then thought: "make amends" and we were never holding back or worried that, time would come to an end, When I went I left from the station, with a haversack and some trepidation, someone said: "if you're not careful, you'll have nothing left and nothing to care for in the nineteen-seventies" but I sat back and looking forward, my shoes were high and I had scored, I’d bolted through a closing door, I would never find myself feeling bored, 'cause we were never being boring, we had too much time to find for ourselves and we were never being boring, we dressed up and fought, then thought: "make amends" and we were never holding back or worried that, time would come to an end, we were always hoping that, looking back, you could always rely on a friend, Now I sit with different faces, in rented rooms and foreign places, all the people I was kissing, some are here and some are missing, in the nineteen nineties, I never dreamt that I would get to be, the creature that I always meant to be, but I thought in spite of dreams, you'd be sitting somewhere here with me, 'cause we were never being boring, we had too much time to find for ourselves and we were never being boring, we dressed up and fought, then thought: "make amends" and we were never holding back or worried that, time would come to an end, we were always hoping that, looking back, you could always rely on a friend and we were never being boring, we had too much time to find for ourselves and we were never being boring, we dressed up and fought, then thought: "make amends"and we were never being boring, we were never being bored 'cause we were never being boring, we were never being bored....
