Gestern getanzt auf...

Killing Joke: Love like Blood

Aus den goldenen 80ern. Das erste Lied das ich in meiner damaligen Lieblingsdisco hörte *in erinnerungen schwelg*




Love Like Blood

We must play our lives like soldiers in the field
The life is short, I'm running faster all the time
Strength and beauty destined to decay
So cut the rose in full bloom

Till the fearless come and the act is done
A love like blood, a love like blood
Till the fearless come and the act is done
A love like blood, a love like blood

Everyday through all frustration and despair
Love and hate fight with burning hearts
Till legends live and man is God again
And self-preservation rules the day no more

Oh, we must dream of promised lands and fields
That's never fade in season
As we move towards no end we learn to die
Red tears are shed on gray

Till the fearless come and the act is done
A love like blood, a love like blood
Till the fearless come and the act is done
A love like blood, a love like blood

Till the fearless come and the act is done
A love like blood, a love like blood
Till the fearless come and the act is done
A love like blood, a love like blood

(Songwriters: Coleman, Jeremy; Ferguson, Paul; Raven, Paul Vincent; Walker, Kevin;)

Sigur Rós - Hoppípolla



Lyrics:

Nú vaknar þú
Allt virðist vera breytt
Eg gægist út
En er svo ekki neitt
Ur-skóna finn svo
A náttfötum hún
I draumi fann svo
Eg hékk á koðnun?

Með sólinni er hún
Og er hún, inni hér

En hvar ert þú....

Legg upp í göngu
Og tölti götuna
Sé ekk(ert) út
Og nota stjörnurnar
Sit(ur) endalaust hún
Og klifrar svo út.

Glósóli-leg hún
Komdu út

Mig vaknar draum-haf
Mitt hjartað, slá
Ufið hár.

Sturlun við fjar-óð
Sem skyldu-skrá.

Og hér ert þú...

Fannst mér.....

Og hér ert þú
Glósóli.....

Og hér ert þú
Glósóli.....

Og hér ert þú
Glósóli.....

Og hér ert þú

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Glowing Sun (Bright Sun)

Now that you're awake
Everything seems different
I look around
But there's nothing at all

Put on my shoes, I then find that
She is still in her pyjamas
Then found in a dream
I'm hung by (an) anticlimax

She is with the sun
And it's out here

But where are you...

Go on a journey
And roam the streets
Can't see the way out
And so use the stars
She sits for eternity
And then climbs out

She's the glowing sun
So come out

I awake from a nightmare
My heart is beating
Out of control…

I've become so used to this craziness
That it's now compulsory

And here you are...

I'm feeling...

And here you are,
Glowing sun...

And here you are,
Glowing sun...

And here you are,
Glowing sun...

And here you are...

Auch wenn mein Isländisch sehr zu wünschen übrig lässt ist Sigur Ros für mich eine Offenbarung. Ich liebe den Song und das Video. Und ich habe schon mehr als einmal geweint beim Anschauen...

The Cinematics - Wish (when the banks collapse)




Lyrics

Wish (When the bank collapse)

Your clenched-fist salute
Says “Fight! Fight the Power!”
But your charcoal suit
Says something different altogether

It says “i won’t dance when the banks collapse...”
So we better be careful what we wish for

Lost my job and my band
To the laying of a hand
I’ve still got my love
But I’m not sure how much she’ll stand
And I don’t have your stone walls
To keep the wolves from my door

No, I won’t dance when the banks collapse
So we better be careful what we wish for
I’d love to see you when the streets are turning
I’ve love to be you when the whole world’s burning
I’d love to see your new world order
I’d love to be your new business model
I won’t dance when the banks collapse
I won’t dance when the banks collapse
Thom, can I sleep at your house?
