Billie Holiday - Gloomy Sunday

Sunday is gloomy,
My hours are slumberless
Dearest the shadows
I live with are numberless
Little white flowers
Will never awaken you
Not where the black coach of
Sorrow has taken you
Angels have no thought
Of ever returning you
Would they be angry
If I thought of joining you?
Gloomy Sunday

Gloomy is Sunday,
With shadows I spend it all
My heart and I
Have decided to end it all
Soon there’ll be candles
And prayers that are said I know
Let them not weep
Let them know that I’m glad to go
Death is no dream
For in death I’m caressin’ you
With the last breath of my soul
I’ll be blessin’ you
Gloomy Sunday

Dreaming, I was only dreaming
I wake and I find you asleep
In the deep of my heart, dear
Darling I hope
That my dream never haunted you
My heart is tellin’ you
How much I wanted you
Gloomy Sunday

Ali Murray - Ghost Of An Ageless Woman

I slept all through the summer
to wake up at your feet
I stole a glance around me
and drank the scenery
I somehow ceased to grow
I fell on darker days
In time we are the same
in completely different ways…

Jónsi - Grow Till Tall

You’ll know, when’s time to go on
You’ll really want to grow and grow till tall
They all, in the end, will fall

Grow till tall, they all, in the end, will fall
They, in the end, will turn and fall

You’ll know, you’ll go
You’ll know, you’ll know
You’ll learn…

Atoms For Peace - Before Your Very Eyes…

Look out of the window
What is passing you by.
If you really want this bad enough.
You’re young and good looking
The keys to the kingdom.
Sooner or later
And before your very eyes
Old soul on young shoulders.
How you’ll look when you’re older.
Time’s fickle card game with you and I.
You have to take your chances
The book of forgiveness.
Sooner or later
And before your very eyes

Jason Molina (R.I.P) - It’s Easier Now

Behind these eyes a desert spirit
Sea serpent heart inside a sunken ship
I finally got it
All parts wrong

I didn’t know how long it would take to do it
Behind these eyes
Dead grey mule
Torn apart moon in an empty room

It’s easier now
And I just say I got better
It’s easier now
That I just say I got better

It’s easier when I just admit
Death comes now
And the next minute
The next minute
The next minute

Behind these eyes
Behind these eyes
Behind these eyes
Behind these eyes
Behind these eyes

My Bloody Valentine - New You

Too close when it’s really with me
Something comes and pins me to the sky to come
Too slow when the moon is with you
I’ll be too and wish you up with me to come soon

Maybe we can say, holding you for the way
Come back, it’s not tomorrow ‘cause
Always today fun we know
Just like I knew you wanted me to do
What can I say, how can I feel too? All kinds of new you

Forseti & Death In June - Black Jena

In this petal of storms here
I will whisper to you this
Phoney paternalism has bitten the dust
What shall be will be and must
Many shades of rose have fled the nest
Behind a vast amass emptiness
They were stupid, blind, not even our kind
A guest and a loss and a ghost
A villain thanks the most
Better an end with fear than a fear without end
This time the victim is desire
Here in Black Jena

Better an end with fear than a fear without end
A guest and a loss and a ghost
A villain thanks the most
They were stupid, blind, not even our kind
This time the victim is desire
Here in Black Jena

I am not what you see or must be
This mask is you masked eternally

Tom Waits - Downtown Train

Outside another yellow moon
Has punched a hole in the night-time mist
I climb through the window and down to the street
I’m shining like a new dime
The downtown trains are full with all of those Brooklyn girls
They try so hard to break out of their little worlds

Well you wave your hand and they scatter like crows
They have nothing that will ever capture your heart
They’re just thorns without the rose
Be careful of them in the dark
Oh, if I was the one you chose to be your only one
Oh baby can’t you hear me now, can’t you hear me now?

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train?
Every night it’s just the same, you leave me lonely now

I know your window and I know it’s late
I know your stairs and your doorway
I walk down your street and past your gate
I stand by the light at the four-way
You watch them as they fall, oh baby, they all have heart attacks
They stay at the carnival, but they’ll never win you back

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train?
Where every night, every night it’s just the same, oh baby
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
All of my dreams they fall like rain, oh baby on a downtown train

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train?
Where every night, every night it’s just the same, oh baby
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train?
All of my dreams just fall like rain, all on a downtown train
All on a downtown train, all on a downtown train
All on a downtown train, a downtown train

Swans - You Fucking People Make Me Sick

Now diamonds are falling
Through a new wound in the sky
Obsessions, pink children
They are laid out in a line
They are screaming, they are polluting
They are demanding their life.
These wrong feelings, they are calling
The red leper of time
I love you, I need you
Oh show me how to shine
I love you, young flower
Now give me, what is mine

Ali Murray - Sober Moon

I’m sorry I was never there
I was not old enough to care
I have nothing left to lose
so I’ll dream of you
beneath the sober moon…

In the stillness of a photograph
In a hazy memory
I remember you way back then
silently watching over me

Long ago in a peaceful place
Burning out the hours down to the core
I think of you and smile
and you remain unknowing, forever more

Now time casts a shadow over my body
and the machines of age have taken my mind
I’ve worn this mask for so long
It’s become to hard to remove, I find

The years have been harsh and unforgiving
I’ve been blanketed in its cold embrace
I’ll blow a kiss to the stars above
and leave without a trace

I watch all the events of my life occur
but I comprehend nothing
I feel the world shed its skin and brim with tears
but I learn nothing at all

The moon shines down
on the dark and lonely streets
Tonight our fears have subsided
and our lies remain discreet

It’s so quiet now I can almost hear your thoughts
lost in corridors and ocean depths
and there are many cracks in the wall
where I solemnly slept

These days are comatose
and so much has come and gone
My throat constricts and my heart swells
as time carries on…

Nicolai Dunger - I’d Rather Die

I´d rather die than to have you around.
May trouble come, may trouble go
far across the sea - without you and me.
But it’s ok, if you want to hold my hand
When it gets dark, I’ll leave a spark
upon your weary sky for you to rest and find.
everlasting rest.
For For that’s what you miss in our love
I know that’s what you miss

I’d rather die than say goodbye
you will be strong, but not for long
far across the sea, our hands are joined and free
In an everlating prayer
for those who are lost and lonley
My love, that’s what we are
everlasting rest
everlating pryer - that’s what we need

Jesu - Friends Are Evil

And all the stones I’ve thrown
they come back twice as strong.
And all the stones i’ve thrown, tell me that nothing lasts

And all stones you’ve thrown,
come from your highest throne.
Pass them on to me below,
they remind me nothing lasts

The Cure - To Wish Impossible Things

Remember how it used to be
When the sun would fill up the sky
Remember how we used to feel
Those days would never end
Those days would never end
Remember how it used to be
When the stars would fill the sky
Remember how we used to dream
Those nights would never end
Those nights would never end

It was the sweetness of your skin
It was the hope of all we might have been
That fills me with the hope to wish
Impossible things

But now the sun shines cold
And all the sky is grey
The stars are dimmed by clouds and tears
And all I wish
Is gone away
All I wish
Is gone away

Of The Wand And The Moon - Time Time Time

So I draw my secrets, a flame so sweet
And I lose my breath in those crystal eyes

How time flies - and how things turn

A change of winds, a stroke of wings
And a pain so grave, only gods can touch

How time dies - and how it hurts

So I draw my secrets, secrets so sweet
And I lose my faith in those dimlit eyes

How time flies - and how it burns

Lost Bodies - Θυμήσου,σώμα … (Κ.Π. Καβάφης)

” Lost Bodies was formed back in 1984 by two friends - Thanos & Antonis - in Athens, Greece. About that time we were listening to the 70’s underground scene, punk and experimental music. In 1988 we released two tapes that had great appreciation on the alternative radio stations of those days. After a few years of moving and trying to find the ”meaning of life” a friend had the brilliant fucking idea of releasing our early stuff. 1997. Well…the rest is history. One cd after the other…we are now up to 9 and there’s more on the way!!! The live line up is Thanos on vocals, George on guitar and vocals, Konstantis guitar, Pavlos on drums, Thalia synths + Trumpet and Vasilis on basss. Not many lives take place…perhaps three or four a year but the following is fantastic. ”

Sonic Youth - Shadow Of A Doubt

Met a stranger on a train
He bumped right into me
I swear I didn’t mean it
I swear it wasn’t meant to be

Must have been a dream
From a thousand years ago
I swear I didn’t mean it
I swear it wasn’t meant to be

From the bottom of my heart
He was looking all over me
Together everafter
He said
“You take me & I’ll be you”
“You kill him & I’ll kill her”

Kiss me
I swear it wasn’t meant to be
I swear I didn’t mean it
Kiss me
Kiss me in the shadow of
Kiss me in the shadow of a doubt

It’s just a dream
It’s just a dream i had
Nononoooooh
Swear it’s just a dream
Just a dream
Dream i’ve had
No, no, no, no
Take me to it
Take me to her
Maybe
Maybe it’s just a dream
It’s a dream
It’s just a
Just a…
No
