If men have a sell-by date, I’ve just reached mine.
Now we ve come to the end of the line!!!
Yet another sluggard hour stumbles past,
it’s no wonder life looks better through the bottom of a glass.
these bitter litanies you keep repeating,
are verbal fingers down my mental blackboard screeching.
Each moment in your company,
was of more quantity than quality.
My hopes and dreams - transparent phantoms,
this wayward son’s irrational anthems.
Not worth spending quantity time,
life is hunger - life is pain.
Never ending quantity time,
toe the line - take the strain.
Awake in bed in quantity time,
hate to say I told you so.
Long time dead in quantity time,
next stop Hell - not far to go.
My vision is obscured - blurred by tears of anger,
these four walls a prison where I rot in stagnant languor.
My broken heart screams out “Someone repair me” -
or please lay me in the cemetery.
'Cause you’ve taken all that’s best, you see,
so I’ll lay to rest the rest of me.
You cannot hold a dream to ransom -
or silence my irrational anthem.
Not worth spending quantity time,
life is hunger - life is pain.
Never ending quantity time,
toe the line - take the strain.
Awake in bed in quantity time,
hate to say I told you so.
Long time dead in quantity time,
next stop Hell - not far to go.
[B]Take away the part of me
That makes me feel that makes me see
The things that I don’t want to be[/B]
At least I know that I can count on you
[B]A step ahead I step behind
The things I fear, I’ve crossed the line
Into a world where I feel blind[/B]
I always know that I can count on you
[B]Took the time to live a life
To see the world then say goodbye
To my old friends, I don’t know why[/B]
I always know that I can count on you
Oh, and it’s hard to stay this graceful when
I’m falling, falling
Oh, and I have to say that yesterday is calling
[B]
Now here I am with eyes shut tight
Not knowing if I’ll see the light
Before it’s too late in this life[/B]
I never knew I could not count on you
Γράψε μου λέξεις σε θλιμμένη σελίδα
για εκείνο το πρωί που έμεινα μόνος να σκεφτώ
και για το μυστικό μέσα στα μάτια σου που είδα
πως πίσω απ? τη γιορτή είσαι μαρτύριο και καταιγίδα
[B]
Τώρα πως να στο δείξω ότι την ώρα που φεύγεις
με εκείνους που λυπάμαι μου ζητάς να αγαπηθώ
κι όσο είναι αρκετό που εύκολο δρόμο διαλέγεις
αυτή η ανταμοιβή με φυλακίζει και πιέζει να δεχτώ
[I]κάθε φτηνή περιγραφή αυτών που θα `θελα να ζω[/I]
πάντα σ? αγγίζω λίγο μέχρι να αρχίσω να πετώ[/B]
Μα ότι αγαπώ είναι για λίγο
για λίγο χάνομαι κι αρχίζω να πετώ
Ότι αγαπώ είναι για λίγο
για λίγο χάνομαι κι αρχίζω να πετώ
Γράψε μου λόγια από τα λόγια που ξέρεις
κουβέντες που με βία αποστηθίζεις και θυμό
Όσο πολλούς κι αν γύρω σου καταφέρεις
γι? αγάπη όταν μιλάς μέσα σου καίγεσαι και υποφέρεις
Κι έτσι τα βράδια αποζητάς προστασία
σε μπαρ κοσμοπολίτικα ψαρεύεις σεβασμό
Ξέρεις, εκεί δε ζητιανεύω αξία
Θα μείνω απ? αυτούς στις γειτονιές που σπέρνουν άγριο χορό
Γράψε για μένα αποστροφή κι ένα κλουβί σαν φυλαχτό
μέσα να μπαίνω λίγο μέχρι να αρχίσω να πετώ
Γιατί ότι αγαπώ είναι για λίγο
για λίγο χάνομαι κι αρχίζω να πετώ
Ότι αγαπώ είναι για λίγο
για λίγο χάνομαι κι αρχίζω να πετώ…
i feel again i’m coming home
to find the peace i feel alone
my television friends have gone
now i can take my time to talk about them
they’re nice to me, they smile to me
they are what they’d like me to be
i let them keep my company
and i don’t even care what they’re selling
they’re only selling
look into these little boxes
bluer weather, greener grass
everyone has lots of money
everyone’s in style
[B]little [/B]people, [B]little [/B]houses
happy living [B]little lives[/B]
when they wake up with perfect makeup
[B]it makes me sick[/B]
don’t need a life of my own, you know i’m so satisfied
deep in the screen they have made me believe
i’m so pacified
[B]they keep me asleep with each day they repeat
this life they pretend to me[/B]
[B]i took my television, unplugged it from the wall
tiny people crawling as i broke it on the floor
i put them in my pockets, took them where they can’t be found
then i held them in my hands
then i made them do really bad things[/B]
now i’m afraid to be at home
because i fear i’m not alone
my television friends have grown
now i’m afraid of what they might be selling
what are they selling
what are they selling ΤΟ ΜΕ

Show me a politician who’s a man we can trust
And if I ever meet him then I think I’ll have him stuffed
Look out of the window - see not one happy face
The only splash of color is the graffiti 'round the place.
It’s hard to even crawl
With your back up against the wall.
I find it hard to sleep at night
I feel that the worst is yet to come
Social helter-skelter
Ride the downward spiral has begun.
Are some people just born bad
Or is it how we all become?
Human termites driven mad
In the concrete mound of the rising slum.
The people who are dark fear the people who are fair
And hippies live in terror of the guys who have no hair
The saddest thing of all - what I really find grim
Is we haven’t yet noticed what a mess we’re all in.
It’s hard to even crawl
Now your back’s up against the wall.
I find it hard to sleep at night
I feel that the worst is yet to come
Social helter-skelter
Ride the downward spiral has begun.
Are some people just born bad
Or is it how we all become?
Human termites driven mad
In the concrete mound of the rising slum.
The “whether man” says that the outlook’s not great
A few outbreaks of murder with some isolated rape
I ask my doctor his advice, this is what he says,
“Get yourself some cancer boy, before you die of aids.”
It’s hard to even crawl
With your back up against the wall.
I find it hard to sleep at night
I feel that the worst is yet to come
Social helter-skelter
Ride the downward spiral has begun.
Are some people just born bad
Or is it how we all become?
Human termites driven mad
In the concrete mound of the rising slum
Χύνει το μυαλό μου με αυτόν τον άθρωπο ρε θεέ

[B]Five years pass by - unnoticed change, their glamour has us in it’s grasp
But now the walls have eyes and ears - questions too dangerous to ask
New state controlled T.V. and press - for reasons suddenly unclear
This is the European dream so nothing bad can happen[/B]
…αγόρια μου…παιδιά μου…

[B]It’s all about you
Not me
It’s all about the things that you’re expecting me to be …[/B]
Who’s in bunker, who’s in bunker?
Women and children first
Women and children first
Women and children
I’ll laugh until my head comes off
I swallow till I burst

Who’s in bunker, who’s in bunker
I’ve seen too much
I haven’t seen enough
You haven’t seen enough
I’ll laugh until my head comes off
Women and children first
And children first
And children…
Here I’m allowed, everything all of the time
Ice age coming, ice age coming
Let me hear both sides
Let me hear both sides
Let me hear both…
Ice age coming, ice age coming
Throw me in the fire

Throw me in the…
We’re not scaremongering
This is really happening, happening
We’re not scaremongering
This is really happening, happening
Mobiles working
Mobiles chirping
Take the money and run
Take the money and run
Take the money
Here I’m allowed, everything all of the time
Well there?s a crazy moon, been up all week
And it?s messing with the things that I think and do
And I find myself staring at a screen
wondering how far we?ve come since the death of cool…

Μια γκόμενα ταλαιπωρεί δυο στίχους του Ελύτη
πάλι σ? αυτό το σπίτι μόνος θα κοιμηθώ
είναι απ? αυτές που βάζουνε
μαύρη σκιά στο μάτι
κι έχουν να πούνε κάτι
το εντυπωσιακό
κι όσο κυλάει η γλώσσα τους, τόσο σου σβήνει ο πόθος
αχ θέε μου αν ήταν τρόπος να εξαφανιστώ
Να κοιμηθώ, να κοιμηθώ μονάχος
και να ονειρευτώ την ποίηση με άλλο μάτι
κι όχι ως πιπέρι κι ως αλάτι
σ? έναν έρωτα μισό
Μια γκόμενα ταλαιπωρεί δυο στίχους του Σεφέρη
και δίχως να τον ξέρει του κάνει κριτική
είναι απ? αυτές που σου μιλούν βραχνά
μετά τις δύο
και πηγανε κι Ωδείο
για να `χουν άποψη
κι όλο ρωτάς τον δύστηχο ευατό σου, "πες μου κάτι"
για ένα σαχλό κρεβάτι τι άλλο θα υποστείς;
Να κοιμηθώ, να κοιμηθώ θέλω μονάχος
και να ονειρευτώ την ποίηση με άλλο μάτι
και όχι ως πιπέρι κι ως αλάτι
σ? έναν έρωτα μισό
Πεθύμησα να πω ένα όμορφο τραγούδι
σαν δάκρυ και σαν χνούδι να είναι απαλό
λοιπόν θα πω,
για τη κοπέλα που είναι ποίηση αφ’εαυτού της
στην ησυχία τ? ουρανού της
θα αποκοιμηθώ…

[B][I]You must feel frustration
’Cause you mind feels such temptation
And your ways appear a total lack of faith…[/I][/B]
If we burn our wings
Flying too close to the sun
If the moment of glory
Is over before it’s begun
If the dream is won –
Though everything is lost
We will pay the price,
[B]But we will not count the cost[/B]
When the dust has cleared
And victory denied
A summit too lofty
River a little too wide
If we keep our pride
Though paradise is lost
We will pay the price,
[B]But we will not count the cost[/B]
And if the music stops
There’s only the sound of the rain
All the hope and glory,
All the sacrifice in vain
And if love remains
Though everything is lost
We will pay the price,
But [B][SIZE=4]we will not count the cost[/SIZE][/B]
Aσειχτήρ αλήτη…σε σένα θα τα γράψω όλα…
πάμε ρε κοιμισμένε ελληνα.

Ούζο, ούζο power, δε ζω, μόνο κοιτάζω
ούζο, ούζο power, το τίποτα αγκαλιάζω[/B]
δεν υπάρχει ελπιδα μιλάμε…
Will you stay, will you go?
Again, this time, how far?
…
αν είχε θάρρος να φανεί ο λόγος
τώρα δε θα 'τανε φωτιά στο αίμα
αν είχε χρώμα θα 'ταν άσπρο ο φόβος
αν είχε σώμα θα 'ταν σαν κι εμένα
Well,It ain’t no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don’t know by now
And It ain’t no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It will never do anyhow
When your roosters a crowin at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I’ll be gone
You’re the reason why I’m trav’lin’ on
But,Don’t think twice, it’s all right
An’ it ain’t no use in turnin’ on your light, babe
The light I never knowed
An’ it ain’t no use in turnin’ on your light, babe
I’m on the dark side of the road
But I wish there was somethin’ I could do or say
To try and make you change your mind and stay
We never did too much talkin’ anyway
But don’t think twice, it’s all right
Well,It ain’t no use in callin’ out my name, gal
Like you never done before
It ain’t no use in callin’ out my name, gal
I can’t hear you any more
I’m a-thinkin’ and a-wond’rin’ walkin down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I’m told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don’t think twice, it’s all right
So long honey babe
Where I’m bound,I can not tell
But goodbye’s too good a word, gal
So I’ll just kinda say fare thee well
Now I’m not sayin’ that you treated me unkind
You could have done alot better but I don’t mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don’t think twice, it’s all right
