Lyrical Moments...

[Piglet]

Tainted love, tainted love
Don't touch me please, I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so - Soft Cell

Ok, i'm listening to Mozart Piano concerto No. 21 Andante? I think that's right, sorry no lyrics, later..

"Jenny was a friend of mine"

The Killers, Jenny

[azande]

When the sun has wept upon the waveless lake
And the mists steal in with ease
Covened wolves are their eerie dissonant napes
In adoration of the moon and thee

"They call as I to thee...."

And I will come, as if in dream
My languid, dark and lustrous Malaresian Queen
Of vengeful, ancient breed
Gilded with the pelts of many enemies
Erishkigal, raven-haired
Thy seduction haunts the castle in erotic despair
I can taste thy scent by candlelight
Legs of porcelain traced and laced to their lair
Appease the beast on spattered sheets
Dyed unearthly red as sobriety weeps

Nocternity....
She shall come for me

A black velvet painting sprung to elegant life
Like a poignant Madonna perverted to night
And I have ridden from the westerning light
To expend my lust
Tear away the funereal dress
Know that I will escape from my death
Surrendered to the splendour of her sharpened caress

Lo! The pale moonlight
Weaves a poetic spell of vital death and decline
Of mist and moth and the hunger inside
Kisses took to fever and the fever, demise

"Through twilight, darkness and moonrise
My scarlet tears will run
As stolen blood and whispered love
Of fantasies undone"

Countess swathed in ebony
And snow-white balletic grace
Rouge-filmed lips procure the wish
For lust and her disgrace

Dusk and her embrace

We shall flit through the shadows
Like a dream of (were)wolves in the snow
Under deadly nightshade
Still warmed with the kill's afterglow

Beneath the stars thy flesh bedevils me
(Beneath the stars taste the death in me)
Bequeath to me thy fiery kiss
To sever thin mortality

Elizabeth
My heart is thine
Thy fragrant words Warm within like wine....

"Let me come to thee
With eyes like Asphodel
Moon-glancing, loose desires free
To writhe under my spell"

Ereshkigal, raven-haired
Thy seduction haunts the castle in erotic despair
I know thy scent by candlelight
Immortal flesh I yearn to share
Appease the beast on spattered sheets
Dyed malefic red as sobriety weeps
Nocternity
She shall come for me....

Unfurl thy limbs breathless succubus
How the full embosomed fog
Imparts the night to us....

Dusk and her embrace - Cradle of Filth

"Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine"

We took a walk that night, but it wasn't the same
We had a fight on the promenade out in the rain
She said she loved me, but she had somewhere to go
She couldn't scream while I held her close
I swore I'd never let her go
Tell me what you wanna know
Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on
There ain't no motive for this crime
Jenny was a friend of mine
So come on, oh come on, oh come on

I know my rights, I've been here all day and it's time
For me to go, so let me know if it's alright
I just can't take this, I swear I told you the truth
She couldn't scream while I held her close
I swore I'd never let her go

Tell me what you wanna know
Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on
And then you whisper in my ear
I know what you're doing here
So come on, oh come on, oh come on
There ain't no motive for this crime
Jenny was a friend of mine
Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on

If this world is wearing thin
And you're thinking of escape
I'll go anywhere with you
Justt wrap me up in chains
But if you try to go alone
Don't think I'll understand
Stay with me...

[TheTramp]

Have you found a new toy to replace me?
Can you face me?
But now you can kiss my ass goodbye
Feel good are you satisfied?
Do you feel like suicide?
(I think you should)
Is your conscience all right
Does it plague you at night?
Do you feel good feel good?

[azande]

Let me take you down, underneath this false surface
Tonight is the night when we travel into the heart of the unknown
Night reveals what is hidden in the shadows
What you see is just a shell of me

To escape the suffering we keep our emotions at a distance
So far away that our skin becomes our fortress
Leave with me and you'll see what lies ahead
Let's gather in twilight
In those blue reflections

We are coming out as one
That is when we arrive
That is when we realize
This is when we fall down

Cult of Luna - Into the beyond

[azande]

Diamonds on my windshield
Tears from heaven
Pulling into town on the Interstate
Pulling a steel train in the rain
The wind bites my cheek through the wing
Fast flying, freway driving
Always makes me sing

There's a Duster tryin' to change my tune
Pulling up fast on the right
Rolling restlessly, twenty-four hour moon

Wisconsin hiker with a cue-ball head
Wishing he was home in a Wiscosin bed
fifteen feet of snow in the East
Colder then a welldigger's ass

Oceanside it ends the ride, San Clemente coming up
Sunday desperadoes slip by, gas station closed,
cruise with a dry back
Orange drive-in the neon billin'
Theatre's fillin' to the brim
Slave girls and a hot spurn bucket full of sin

Metropolitan area with interchange and connections
Fly-by-nights from Riverside
Black and white plates, out of state,
running a little bit late

Sailors jockey for the fast lane
101 don't miss it
Rolling hills and concrete fields
The broken line's on your mind

Eights go east and the fives go north
The merging nexus back and forth
You see your sign, cross the line,
signalling with a blink

The radio's gone off the air
Gives you time to think
You ease it out and you creep across
Intersection light goes out
You hear the rumble
As you fumble for a cigarette
Blazing through this midnight jungle
Remember someone that you met
One more block; the engine talks
And whispers 'home at last'
It whispers, whispers, whispers
'home at last', home at last

Strides past and through lacking only a gown

Her eyes are bright her nose looks down

I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style,
And so I came to see him and listen for a while.
And there he was this young boy, stranger to my eyes,
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song.
Fugees

Well my temperature’s rising
And my feet left the floor
Crazy people knocking,
’cause they want some more.
Let me in baby,
I don’t know what you got
You better take it easy.
This place is hot.

MY DAYS OF SPRING

My days of Spring, I don't regret your flight,
Mere lover's dreams elapsed in fruitless fashion,
I don't regret you, sweet nocturnal rites
Toasted to strains of reed pipe's plaintive passion;

I don't regret you, friends' inconstancy,
Goblets, or vestal chaplets for the brow,
I don't regret you, beauty's perfidy
Pensive, I'm stranger to amusements now.

But where are you, moments of sweet emotion
And hopes of youth, and heart's tranquillity,
Where is my former fire of inspiration?
Oh, days of Spring, return again to me!

[Crazy Russian]

WINTER MORNING

Cold frost and sunshine: day of wonder!
But you, my friend, are still in slumber--
Wake up, my beauty, time belies:
You dormant eyes, I beg you, broaden
Toward the northerly Aurora,
As though a northern star arise!

Recall last night, the snow was whirling,
Across the sky, the haze was twirling,
The moon, as though a pale dye,
Emerged with yellow through faint clouds.
And there you sat, immersed in doubts,
And now, -- just take a look outside:

The snow below the bluish skies,
Like a majestic carpet lies,
And in the light of day it shimmers.
The woods are dusky. Through the frost
The greenish fir-trees are exposed;
And under ice, a river glitters.

The room is lit with amber light.
And bursting, popping in delight
Hot stove still rattles in a fray.
While it is nice to hear its clatter,
Perhaps, we should command to saddle
A fervent mare into the sleight?

And sliding on the morning snow
Dear friend, we'll let our worries go,
And with the zealous mare we'll flee.
We'll visit empty ranges, thence,
The woods, which used to be so dense
And then the shore, so dear to me.

[azande]

La notte insegue il giorno il giorno la notte
ma sotto queste nuvole non cambia mai
e scorre alla rovescia il libro dei ricordi
ma il sapore del mio cibo è sempre quello
io vorrei attraversare il cielo attraversare il mare
per cercare un po' di verità
ma quello che mi ferma è la paura di sapere
che tutta la mia gente vive nell'oscurità
vorrei chiedere a colui che governa la pace e la guerra
sulla terra tra l'umanità
quanti anni ancora da passare
prima che quest'uomo si possa riposare
troppo sangue scorre ancora per le strade
troppi uomini ancora imprigionati
troppi uomini ancora incatenati al ritmo del lavoro e del sudore
sole quando sorgerai su di me su di noi?
vorrei il sole su di me su chi non l'ha visto mai
il sole è la luce che ti scalda o che ti brucia
è la voce di chi non ha parlato mai
è un soldato che butta le armi e chiede pace
è come un prigioniero che vuole libertà
è una rivoluzione di pace e di amore
è come la pioggia nella siccità
è l'urlo di chi non ha mai avuto voce
e non vuole restare nell'oscurità
vorrei chiedere a colui che governa la pace e la guerra
sulla terra tra l'umanità
quanti anni ancora da passare
prima che quest'uomo si possa riposare
troppo sangue scorre ancora per le strade
troppi uomini ancora imprigionati
troppi uomini ancora condannati al ritmo del lavoro e del sudore
sole quando sorgerai su di me su di noi?
vorrei sole su di me su chi non l'ha visto mai…

To ***

I still remember that amazing moment
You have appeared before my sight
As though a brief and fleeting omen,
Pure phantom in enchanting light.

Locked in depression's hopeless captive,
In haste of clamorous processions,
I heard your voice-- soft and attractive.
And dreamt of your beloved expressions.

Time passed. In gusts, rebellious and active,
A tempest scattered my affections
And I forgot your voice attractive,
Your sacred and divine expressions.

Detained in darkness, isolation,
My days would slowly drag in strife.
With lack of faith and inspiration,
With lack of tears, and love and life.

My soul attained its waking moment:
You re-appeared before my sight,
As though a brief and fleeting omen,
Pure phantom in enchanting light.

And now, my heart, in fascination
