"A crude art, a bovver boot ballet - equally elegant and ugly"
Carry me hooting and howling
to the river to wash off my hands
of the hot blood, the sweat and the sand
Any rival who goes for our girls will be left thumb sucking in terror
and bereft of all coffin bearers
A crude art, a bovver boot ballet - equally elegant and ugly
I was as thrilled as I was appalled, courting him in fisticuffing waltz.
Now I'm not saying the lads always deserve a braying.
And I'm not saying the girls are worth the fines I'm paying.
We're just brutes bored in our bovver boots.
We're just brutes clowning 'round in cahoots.
We're just brutes looking for shops to loot.
We're just brutes hoping to have a hoot
Hooting, hooting and howling

to kill a mockingbird
is to silence the song
that seduces you
why?
cause you need that desire in your heart to survive
and you need that burning fire in your soul to know
you're still alive
so catch me when I fall
or did I dive at your delight?
in my heart I can fly
and I cannot disguise my love
there is no time
and I wouldn't know how
constellations tonight
are so fiercesomely bright, my love
I have no fear
I am Atticus now
remember what I lost like hot coals in my hand from days gone by
like Pandora adored the euphoria as her heart raced
like love lost you've got to try even in vain
feels like you'll go insane
but your heart is instrument that I've ever had to play
in my heart I can fly
and I cannot disguise my love
there is no time
and I wouldn't know how to
constellations tonight
are so fiercesomely bright, my love
I have no fear
I am Atticus now
so why don't we fall into the waves?
can't you see how my heart yearns to misbehave?
in my heart I can fly
and I cannot disguise my love
there is no time to
and I wouldn't know how
constellations tonight
are so fiercesomely bright, my love
I have no fear left
cause I am Atticus now
so why don't we fall into the waves?
can't you see how my heart yearns to misbehave?

Rusos
Y leyendo sobre rusos, sobre Rusia, leyendo la larga carta que escribe un ruso de 90 años a su joven hija nacida en EEUU… que mejor encuentro que el último álbum, Far, de la rusa criada en Nueva York, Regina Spektor. solo coincidencias.
Y si, Regina Spektor, se puso dramática, más de lo que es, se puso más seria, se puso quizá más trágica, digamos que se puso más rusa, y yo la entiendo. Mi escritor favorito me puede dar una muy buena explicación al respecto, ellos los rusos son expertos en el drama y la tragedia, y no porque quieran, o si? Dilema, lo que si queda claro es que casi cualquier producto artístico que venga o descienda de Rusia es inevitablemente trágico, triste, dramático, serio, doloroso y en la mayoría de los casos, hermoso.
Yo pensaba que quizá el país más sufrido de la historia contemporánea podría ser Alemania, pero uno no sabe nada, posiblemente sea Rusia, una cosa es haber sufrido la segunda guerra mundial, y hasta haber sido el culpable mayor de la misma como en el caso de los alemanes (entiéndase que cargar con la culpa es mas difícil que ser la víctima, me parece); pero otra cosa, como en el caso de Rusia, es sufrir una guerra mundial + un socialismo esclavista que mato millones y millones de personas, y que a los que dejo vivos los dejo locos o se les tiro la vida entera y de paso a sus descendientes que hacen parte de esa sociedad actual.
Mis canciones favoritas de este álbum Far:
Eet
Machine
Human Of The Year
Genius Next Door
Podría decir que lo que me gusta de Regina a parte de su dramatismo, es su voz que solo a veces sube hasta donde más puede, esas pocas subidas son regalos para mis oídos, y claro su piano, su piano… por lo general me gustan las cantantes que tocan piano: Fiona Apple, PJ Harvey, Kate Nash un poco. Por otro lado no creo que Regina Spektor tenga nada que ver con Bjork, menos con Norah Jones como leí por ahí.

Ida Maria
Pour myself a cup of coffee full of sober nights,
Cos nicotine and coffee are my friends in this fight
And you, you keep me warm
You, you keep me warm
All your cigarettes and cup of coffee
It keeps me warm
Believe me I can play games cos I know all the rules,
Believe me I can pretend cos I've studied the masks
But I don't wanna play any theatre for you,
I don't wanna stage a single piece for you
Oh, you, you keep me warm
You, you keep me warm
All your cigarettes and cup of coffee
It keeps me warm
No, I don't wanna stage any theatre for you,
I don't wanna play a single piece for youBat for Lashes
I will rise now
And go about the city
In the street's
Broadways I seek
Him whom my soul loveth
Went over the sea
What did I find?
A thousand crystal towers
A hundred emerald cities
And the hand of the watchman
In the night sky
Points to my beloved
A knight in crystal armour
And I tried to hold him
I tried for the creed
I'll make a suit of colours
To stop the blinding mirrors
Sew a cape of red and gold
Stifle up the being (?)
With the perfect armour
With a perfect dream
To be made of glass
When two suns are shining
The battle becomes blinding
To be made of glass
But we ride tonight, tonight, tonight, we ride
And with two suns spinning
At two different speeds
Was born a hot, white diamond
Burning through the rainbow
Flames fell into orbit
To hold eternally
Two heavenly spirits
That just wouldn't seem
To be made of glass
When two suns are shining
The battle becomes blinding
To be made of glass
But we ride tonight, tonight, tonight, we ride
Hey, oh
Hey oh oh oh
Hey, oh
Hey oh oh oh
Hey, oh
Hey oh oh oh 27 de mayo de 2009
Volviendo al 22 de Marzo del 2007
Oh no, no puedo creer que Spin le haya dado dos estrellas y media sobre cinco al último álbum de Placebo “Battle for the Sun” argumentando no se que cosas de que han perdido su exoticismo glam punk o que se han vuelto emo mas que nada…. Y que sus letras no se comparan con Meds. Pero como es posible, como, abra que oírlo. Solo sé que de Placebo aunque saquen lo mas malo del mundo, todos sus álbumes los tendré, y si, y bueno digamos que Placebo no se salva de su toque emo y quizá por eso también me gusten: Placebo es como esa parte de mi, victima, que le encanta sufrir y salir a ratos. En años no me he cansado de oír a esta banda hasta en los momentos de mayor alegría, ellos caben siempre en mi existencia por mas deprimentes que suenen, y yo se que hay mucha música deprimente, y he dejado de oír mucha música deprimente que hoy día no soporto mas, pero ellos se ganaron un espacio permanente una puerta que nunca se cierra en cuanto a mis gustos musicales.
Pero por dios nada mas oír y ver este video me ha puesto a latir el corazón más rápido, que emoción, que inolvidable, que locura de concierto, que desgarrador, que mejor momento de mi vida… dios, como necesito ir a un buen concierto pronto!

Cosas nuevas que van para el momento
I was wasting my time
Trying to fall in love
Disappointment came to me and
Booted me and bruised and hurt me
But that's how people grow up
That's how people grow up
I was wasting my time
Looking for love
Someone must look at me and
See their sunlit dream
I was wasting my time
Praying for love
For a love that never comes
From someone who does not exist
And that's how people grow up
That's how people grow up
Let me live
Before I die
No not me
Not I
I was wasting my life
Always thinking about myself
Someone on their deathbed said
There are other sorrows too
I was driving my car
I crashed and broke my spine
So yes there are things worse in life than
Never being someone's sweetie
That's how people grow up
That's how people grow up
That's how people grow up
That's how people grow up
As for me I'm okay
For now anyway
---------------------------------
Loose and guilty and whipped Sterility prosecutes and I have plenty Bruised and nailed and quits Merciful and mourned and meek Jealousy sows rejection with a kiss In silken palms that tear bone from skin This joke sport severed I endeavoured To find a place where I became untethered This joke sport severs I endeavoured To find a place where I became untethered Jealousy soaks rejection with a kiss In silken palms that tear bone from skin This joke sport severed I endeavoured To find a place where I became untethered------------------------------------------------------------------Baby, why'm I worried now,
did someone make a fool of me
'fore I could show 'em how it's done?
Can't give up actin' tough,
it's all that I'm made of.
Can't scrape together quite enough
to ride the bus to the outskirts
of the fact that I need love.
There were times that I tried,
one for every glass of water
that I spilled next to the bed,
wretching pennies in a boiling well
in a dream that it once becomes
a foundry of mute and heavy bells.
They shake me deaf and dumb
say, "Someone made a fool of me
'fore I could show 'em how it's done."
It was so clear to me
that it was almost invisible.
I lie across the path waiting,
just for a chance to be a spiderweb
trapped in your lashes.
For that, I would trade you my empire for ashes.
But I choke it back, how much I need love...
