Your song is the one right before the pandas, remember ... the bright-eyed, bushy-tailed tune.   Maybe I'll add a nice pic for you?

"Wandering Star" - Portishead

 

Please could you stay awhile to share my grief

For it's such a lovely day

To have to always feel this way

And the time that I will suffer less

Is when I never have to wake

 

[CHORUS:]

Wandering stars for whom it is reserved

The blackness, the darkness forever

Wandering stars for whom it is reserved

The blackness, the darkness forever

 

Those who have seen the needle's eye now tread

Like a husk from which all that was now has fled

And the masks that the monsters wear

To feed upon their prey

 

[CHORUS]

 

Doubled up inside

Take a while to share my grief

Always doubled up inside

Taunted

Cruel

 

Wandering stars for whom it is reserved

The blackness, the darkness forever

Wandering stars for whom it is reserved

The blackness, the darkness forever

"Mother's Little Helper" - Rolling Stones

 

What a drag it is getting old

 

"Kids are different today,"

I hear every mother say

Mother needs something today to calm her down

And though she's not really ill

There's a little yellow pill

 

She goes running for the shelter

Of her mother's little helper

And it helps her on her way

Gets her through her busy day

 

"Things are different today,"

I hear every mother say

Cooking fresh food for her husband's just a drag

So she buys an instant cake

And she burns her frozen steak

 

And goes running for the shelter

Of her mother's little helper

And to help her on her way

Get her through her busy day

 

Doctor, please, some more of these

Outside the door she took four more

What a drag it is getting old

 

"Men just aren't the same today,"

I hear every mother say

They just don't appreciate that you get tired

They're so hard to satisfy

You can tranquilize your mind

 

So go running for the shelter

Of her mother's little helper

And four help you through the night

Help to minimize your plight

 

Doctor, please, some more of these

Outside the door she took four more

What a drag it is getting old

 

"Life's just much too hard today,"

I hear every mother say

The pursuit of happiness just seems a bore

And if you take more of those

You will get an overdose

 

No more running for the shelter

Of her mother's little helper

They just helped you on your way

Through your busy dying day

"I hope it's a panda," said the rosy-cheeked Shook with eyes alight.

 

"Go to bed or Santa's not coming!," replied abcd with a lump of coal in her throat.

"I Believe (In Everything)"

JJ Grey & Mofro

 

I believe in everything

From a river running backwards

To a bee when it stings

 

And I believe

In the voices out here

Telling me to hold on but let go of my fear

 

A childhood imagination has been my salvation

One cloud at a time, Lord, I’m dreaming

Let me look upon her one more time

This beauty that I love

Oh she’s why

 

I believe in everything, in everything

I’m a believer

 

I believe in what I can’t change

In a hard lesson learned

And the strength from my pain

And I believe in what I can’t prove

And the joy of not knowing and the misunderstood

 

Let go of my past, let go of my future

One cloud at a time, yes, I’m dreaming

Let me look upon her one more time

This beauty that I love

Before she’s gone, before she’s gone

 

I believe in everything, in everything

I’m a believer

(X2)

 

The memory of one moment

Is the beginning and the end of who I am

 

I believe in everything, in everything

I’m a believer

(X4)

 

Tell me about something

Tell me about something you believe in

"Una Paloma Blanca"

George Baker Selection

https://youtu.be/g1RdofzHets

 

 

When the sun shines on the mountains

And the night is on the run

It's a new day, it's a new way

And I fly up to the sun

 

I can feel the morning sunlight

I can smell the new-mown hay

I can hear God's voice is calling

For my golden sky light way

 

Una paloma blanca

I'm just a bird in the sky

Una paloma blanca

Over the mountains I fly

No one can take my freedom away

 

Once I had my share of losing

Once they locked me on a chain

Yes they tried to break my power

Oh I still can feel the pain

 

Una paloma blanca

I'm just a bird in the sky

Una paloma blanca

Over the mountains I fly

No one can take my freedom away

(x2)

Toad The Wet Sprocket -Don't Fade

 

 

Lead me well, don't clear my way

Fascinating how the pallor can stay upon your face

When you are light like a little boy

Flying kites and shouting to the world

You're shouting to the world your joy

Don't fade, you're staying here with me

Don't fade, i need to know that someone still believes

Look around, see for yourself

He led us down and at the water's edge we knelt

Petals in the lake and red upon my face

She's crying as we pray

And it all comes down to money, again

How could you forsake the love of god that way

Don't fade, you're staying here with me

Don't fade, i need to know that someone still believes

[[Lo...]]

Toad the Wet Sprocket - Come Down

 

 

Open up and let me in

I was lucky to live, don't need to win

Forgave myself and if that's a sin

It's not enough you'd even know it

You did right to call my bluff

'cause i won't say when i have had enough

And i worked so hard to need this stuff

And you tried so long to just ignore it

Won't you come down where i am

Words are hidden, understand

I won't repeat myself again

I will not repeat myself again

It's another promise d.o.a.

And despite my every hope

There is no truth behind my best intentioned oath

Won't you come down where i am

Words are hidden, understand

Won't you come down

Been away too long, i know i have

Won't you come down, help me stand

There is healing in your hands

Won't you come down where i am

Words all leave me

Been away too long

I know i've been away too long

I know i have

The Sound / Total Recall (BBC Recordings)

 

https://youtu.be/oEtWx0WTeQs

 

It's all such a blur when time goes so quickly

Trying to hang on to the way that you'd like things to stay

You trace back the seconds recall the details

From someone will, to someone does

To someone did, you know I did

 

Oh there must be a hole in your memory

But I can see

I can see, a distant victory

A time when you will be with me

 

You cut me off just as I was starting to speak

The language you keep hidden away

It's just like the question on everyone's lips

 

But it's not on mine

Where all you'll find is a twisted smile

From another time

 

Another time, another time

Oh there must be a hole in your memory

But I can see

I can see, a distant victory

A time when you will be with me

 

Another time, another time

Oh there must be a hole in your memory

But I can see

I can see, a distant victory

A time when you will be with me

 

There'd be another time, another time

Oh there must be a hole in your memory

But I can see

I can see, a distant victory

A time when you will be with me

 

I can see, that there's got to be another time

It's got to be

"To Know Someone Deeply"

Sananda Maitreya(Terence Trent D'Arby)

 

 

Under a temperamental sun

On the dark hillside of your sorrow

If there's pain in your heart

Let it go

Just reach inside and let it go

 

To know someone deeply

Is to know someone softly

To know someone deeply

Is to know someone softly

Listen to me now

 

In my love garden I wrestled with an angel

In a dream her eyes did seem like the grapes of the vine

Her lips were made like the gates of Heaven

Not to be missed but to be kissed

But not to kiss goodbye

The larger picture will come with time

But for tonight, Dear, let's lullabye

 

To know someone deeply

Is to know someone softly

To know someone deeply

Is to know someone softly

Listen to me now

 

Once a flower opens it never closes until it dies

And then it lies amongst the roses

I wanted to play her like a black grand piano

A clarinet, a minuet or lyric soprano

In my arms there's a safety zone

Nothing can harm you, your heart or home

 

To know someone deeply

Is to know someone softly

To know someone deeply

Is to know someone softly

(Repeat)

Matthew Ryan - She's a Sparrow

 

 

i'm leaving here

different then when i came

things can't be

what they were once they've changed

 

but lets go down to the mercy

lets play all the songs we loved

lets relive all that was beautiful

as if beauty was enough

i can still hear the laughter

over late nights in the flood 

of a roar that broke a bright and brilliant heart

is it just too late or can't we even start.. again?

 

we settled down

time and disappointments took their toll

until we both stopped trying

and the summer turned to snow 

 

now the sky is full of airplanes

no you can't make a wish

but you could throw your arms around me

like you did before all this

i'm sorry that i hurt you

i was lost and turning cruel

but i swear none of that darkness my love

was meant for you

 

she's a sparrow

and i'm a street

she's a sparrow

and i'm a street

she's a sparrow

and i'm a street

and i'll watch her float away

from me

Bob Mould - Voices in My Head

 

 

If I decide to listen to the voices in my head

Strange hallucinations I avoid

The people and the places, the living and the dead

I cannot find some truth within the noise

 

Make things colder, they get stronger

Mess you down inside

Where they're two men, and I wander rough

It's a long dark ride

 

Now I'm very conscious of the voices in my head

That multiply and amplify the fear

I can play the victim, or get on with life instead

I'm finding resolution as they clear

 

We had a final conversation

I remember that

Understanding, it's a long way back

If I decide to listen

 

No more time to listen to the voices in my head

I say goodbye, it's time to say farewell

To all the ghosts and demons, and all the words they said

If I decide to listen to myself

Born of pride and frustration

Under heavy sedation

Fought to be realistic

Everyone pessimistic

Filled with anger and regret

That's how I was till I met you

 

Trapped beneath indignation

Search for retaliation

Bit the hand of the feeder

Never trusted the leader

Locked and held in a cold sweat

That's how I was till I met you

 

But you awake the giant

You awake the giant

But you awake the giant

The giant in me

 

Tossed and turned is the dreamer

Hard to find the redeemer

Bought and sold by my old friends

Cast adrift to a dead end

Stamped and marked as a bad debt

That's how I was till I met you

 

But you awake the giant

You awake the giant

But you awake the giant

The giant in me

 

And in that dying haze

Where the giant lay inside me

Waiting to rise

You found a willing heart

And you made it start to break free

And you moved me

 

But you awake the giant

Elevate my fate

You awake the giant

Mama don't you make the great

But you awake the giant

Come on and pull this weight in me

But you awake the giant

You awake the giant

"[...] Ho guardato in fondo al gioco

Tutto qui, ma sai

Sono un vecchio sparring partner

E non ho visto mai

 

Una calma più tigrata

Più segreta di così

Prendi il primo pullmann, via

Tutto il resto è già poesia [...]"

Paul Westerberg - Here Comes A Regular

 

 

Well a person can work up a mean mean thirst

after a hard day of nothin' much at all

Summer's passed, it's too late to cut the grass

There ain't much to rake anyway in the fall

 

And sometimes I just ain't in the mood

to take my place in back with the loudmouths

You're like a picture on the fridge that's never stocked with food

I used to live at home, now I stay at the house

 

And everybody wants to be special here

They call your name out loud and clear

Here comes a regular

Call out your name

Here comes a regular

Am I the only one here today?

 

Well a drinkin' buddy that's bound to another town

Once the police made you go away

And even if you're in the arms of someone's baby now

I'll take a great big whiskey to ya anyway

 

Everybody wants to be someone's here

Someone's gonna show up, never fear

'cause here comes a regular

Call out your name

Here comes a regular

Am I the only one who feels ashamed?

 

Kneeling alongside old Sad Eyes

He says opportunity knocks once then the door slams shut

All I know is I'm sick of everything that my money can buy

The fool who wastes his life, God rest his guts

 

First the lights, then the collar goes up, and the wind begins to blow

Turn your back on a pay-you-back, last call

First the glass, then the leaves that pass, then comes the snow

Ain't much to rake anyway in the fall
