One Sunday morning (Wilco, Song for Jane Smiley's Boyfriend)


This is how I tell him
Oh, but it's long
One Sunday Morning
Oh, one son is gone.
I can see where it's dawning
Over the sea
My father said what I had become
No one should be.
Outside I look lived in
Like bones in a shrine
How am I forgiven?
Oh I'll give it time.
In silence without warning
Holding my brow
In time he thought I'd kill him
But I didn't know how.
I said it's your God I don't believe in
No, your Bible can't be true
Knocked down by the long life
He cried out, I fear what waits for you.
I can hear those bells
Spoken and gone
I feel if I feel well
Now he knows he was wrong.
I am cold for my father
Frozen underground
Jesus I wouldn't bother
He belongs to me now.
Something sad keeps moving
So I wandered around.
I fell in love with the burden
Holding me down.
Bless my mind, I miss
Being told how to live.
What I learned without knowing
How much more I owe
Than I can give.
This is how I tell him
Oh, but it's wrong
One Sunday morning
One son is gone

Gorgeous! Arrazoi dozu, Ane Txispi, temazo!!! Bai plazerra atzo Berbaz :)!

Bizi! Enjoy life!

No time for love (Christie Moore)



You call it the law, we call it apartheid, internment, 
Conscription, partition and silence.
It's the law that they make to keep you and me where
They think we belong.
The hide behind steel and bullet-proof glass, machine
Guns and spies, 
And tell us who suffer the tear gas and the torture
That we're in the wrong.

CHORUS

No time for love if they come in the morning, 
No time to show tears or for fears in the morning, 
No time for goodbye, no time to ask why, 
And the sound of the siren's the cry of the morning.

They suffered the torture they rotted in cells, went
Crazy, wrote letters and died.
The limits of pain they endured - the loneliness got
Them instead.
And the courts gave them justice as justice is given by
Well-mannered thugs.
Sometimes they fought for the will to survive but more
Times they just wished they were dead.

CHORUS

They took away Sacco, Vanzetti, Connolly and Pearce in

Their time.
They came for Newton and Seal, Bobby Sands and some of
His friends.
In Boston, Chicago, Saigon, Santiago, Warsaw and
Belfast, 
And places that never make headlines, the list never
Ends.

CHORUS

The boys in blue are only a few of the everyday cops on
The beat, 
The C.I.D., Branchmen, informers and spies do their
Jobs just as well; 
Behind them the men who tap phones, take photos, 
Program computers and files, 
And the man who tells them when to come and take you to
Your cell.

CHORUS

All of you people who give to your sisters and brothers
The will to fight on, 
They say you can get used to a war, that doesn't mean
That the war isn't on.
The fish need the sea to survive, just like your people
Need you.
And the death squad can only get through to them if
First they can get through to you. 

CHORUS

Lookin' Out My Back Door (Creedence Clearwater Revival)


Just got home from Illinois lock the front door oh boy!
Got to sit down take a rest on the porch.
Imagination sets in pretty soon I'm singin'
Doo doo doo lookin' out my back door.
There's a giant doing cartwheels, a statue wearin' high heels.
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn.
A dinosaur Victrola list'ning to Buck Owens.
Doo doo doo lookin' out my back door.
Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band.
Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon?
Doo doo doo.
Wond'rous apparition provided by magician.
Doo doo doo lookin' out my back door.
Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band.
Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon?
Doo doo doo.
Bother me tomorrow, today, I'll buy no sorrows.
Doo doo doo lookin' out my back door.
Forward troubles Illinois, lock the front door oh boy!
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn.
Bother me tomorrow, today, I'll buy no sorrows.
Doo doo doo lookin' out my back door.

When you are smiling (Louis Armstrong)


Lyrics from lyricsfreak
When you smilin', when you smilinThe whole world smiles with you.Yes when you laughin' oh when you laughin'The sun comes shinin through.
But when you cryin', you bring on the rainSo stop your sighin baby, and be happy againKeep on smilin, keep on smilin baby, And the whole world smiles with you
Oh when you're smilin' keep on smilin'The whole world smiles with youAh when you're laughin' keep on laughin'The sun comes shinin' through
Now when you're cryin' you bring on the rainSo stop that sighin' be happy againKeep on smilin Cause when you're smilin'And the whole world smiles with you
The great big world will smile with
The whole wide world will smile with you

Life is people (Cosmic concerto) by Bill Fay


There are miracles,
In the strangest of places
There are miracles,
Everywhere you go
I see fathers,
Hold a little child's hand
I see mothers,
Holding a little child's hand
I see trees, trees,
Blowing in the wind
I see seeds,
Being sown by the wind
It's a cosmic concerto, and it stirs my soul
I see grandmas,
Blowing kisses into a pram
I see grandpas,
Scratching their head in amazement
It's a cosmic concerto, and it stirs my soul
It's a cosmic concerto, and it stirs my soul
Like my old dad said,
Life is people, life is people
In the space of a human face,
There's infinite variation
It's a cosmic concerto, and it stirs my soul
It's a cosmic concerto, and it stirs my soul
Like my old dad said,
Life is people, life is people
In the space of a human face,
There's infinite variation
Life is people, life is people, life is people
Life is people, life is people, life is people
Life is people

Year of the rat


(One, one, one, one, one, one. One, one, one, one, one, one)


June is on the run for so long
Pushed and pulled then shunned
It was so wrong
These fours walls crashing in won't stop me now
Cause I'm alive, I'm out tonight, all night


Everybody needs to know it's the year of the rat
Every day we've got to hold on
'cause if we hold on we could find some new energy


Streets with flags unfurled like treasure
Thank me for my words, it's a pleasure
Just don't ask me to stay 'cause I'll be gone
But it's alright I'm OK - always


Everybody needs to know it's the year of the rat
Every day we've got to hold on
'cause if we hold on we could find some new energy


One plus one is one - together
One plus one is one - forever
One plus one is one - together
One plus one is one - forever


Everybody needs to know it's the year of the rat
Everybody needs to know it's the year of the rat
Everybody needs to know it's the year of the rat
Everybody needs to know it's the year of the rat
Every day we've got to hold on
'cause if we hold on we could find some new energy.
