Toi et moi





You and me 
I would like to go // To the sea // Lying on the sand // Take a little air // And smell the spray // Stay again // Stay until // The body is salted // We would stay just you and me // Near here or over there // Without worthy and faithless rules // When you want, we will go // All the colours of the sky // A fill of bottles // Rhum, wine, honey // When you want, we will go // Hidden by the dunes // Between sky and sea // Steal a little peace // Choruses to the nave // Of course you'll be there // Me snuggles against you // I would tell you this dream // When you want, we will go // We would stay just you and me // Near here or over there // Without worthy and faithless rules // When you want, we will go // All the colours of the sky // A fill of bottles // Rhum, wine, honey // When you want, we will go // If we live hidden // If we live damned // And if time is counted // We frustrate our shames // Over there you can lie // Over there you can cheat // Over there we can dirty, over there // We can...be just you and me // We would stay just you and me // Near here or over there // Without worthy and faithless rules // When you want, we will go // All the colours of the sky // A fill of bottles // Rhum, wine, honey // When you want, we will go...

Παρίσι, Τέξας


εκεί.
που δεν το περιμένεις.
εκεί_


που μέσα στο χρώμα
μπαίνει ο ήχος.
που μέσα στο ναι
μπαίνει το βλέμμα.
και το κρασί έρχεται πάντα όχι μόνο.



και μέσα στα πολλά τα βλέμματα εκείνο σε διαλέγει
εκεί.
εκείνο.

από μακριά ερχόμενο και 
"πάλι φλεγόμενο"
χε!

αργά;
γρήγορα;
χε!

λάθος.
χε!

Παρίσι
Τέξας.
εκεί
εκείνο

matching // look around *



 Baby, wake up.
Baby, come see.
And if you lose your way,
Just hold on to me.

The flames have all died out,
Our hearts are still beating.
The rain is gone,
The rain is gone.

Just look around.



Our time is not up,
Our place is in the sun.
So just wipe the ashes from your eyes, Girl
There's so much work to be done.

And there's no need to be sure,
Just be sure to keep breathing.
We'll just keep movin' on,
we'll keep movin' on.

And look around.

We're not o.k.
But, Baby- we're alright.
So just make love to the day,
And hold each other tight.
Just remember your song,
Don't forget to keep singing.
Cause our love is a bomb.
Our love is a bomb.

Just look around.
Keep your eyes open, it's alright.
Keep your eyes open, it's alright.
Make better years from bitter days-
This is our time, 
This is our place.
Look Around.

Just look around. 




*keep your eyes open

savings*



You can dance
Every dance with the guy who gives you the eye
Let him hold you tight
You can smile
Every smile for the guy who'd like to treat you right
'Neath the pale moonlight
But don't forget who's takin you home
And in who's arms you're gonna be
Oh, darlin' save the last dance for me

in the music

Oh I know
That the music's fine like sparklin' wine
Go and have your fun
Dance and sing
But while we're apart don't give your heart to anyone
And don't forget who's takin' you home
And in who's arms you're gonna be
Oh, darlin', save the last dance for me

You can dance
Go and carry on till the night is gone
And it's time to go
If he asks
If you're all alone, can he take you home
You must tell him no

And don't forget who's takin' you home
And in who's arms you're gonna be
Oh, darlin', save the last dance for me



*for you

true story**





** it takes two

my smile, still, stays on




Empty spaces - what are we living for?
Abandoned places - I guess we know the score..
On and on!
Does anybody know what we are looking for?

Another hero - another mindless crime.
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime.
Hold the line!
Does anybody want to take it anymore?
The Show must go on!
The Show must go on!Yeah!
Inside my heart is breaking,
My make-up may be flaking,
But my smile, still, stays on!


Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance.
Another heartache - another failed romance.
On and on...
Does anybody know what we are living for?
I guess I'm learning
I must be warmer now..
I'll soon be turning, round the corner now.
Outside the dawn is breaking,
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free!

The Show must go on!
The Show must go on! Yeah,yeah!
Ooh! Inside my heart is breaking!
My make-up may be flaking...
But my smile, still, stays on!
Yeah! oh oh oh

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies,
Fairy tales of yesterday, will grow but never die,
I can fly, my friends!

The Show must go on! Yeah!
The Show must go on!
I'll face it with a grin!
I'm never giving in!
On with the show!

I'll top the bill!
I'll overkill!
I have to find the will to carry on!
On with the,
On with the show!

σύννεφα στην πόλη/\όταν γίνεται νυχτερινό






Μια πόλη μαγική
ζούμε μαζί οι δυο αγαπημένοι
μια πόλη σαν κι αυτή
πεθαίνει, ζει
κι αλλάζει μαγεμένη.

Σαν πέσει η σκοτεινιά
η αναπνοή μου
θα σμίξει με τ’ αγέρι
τότες η πόλη θα φανεί
μονάχη, ερημική
σαν τ’ ακριβό μου αστέρι...




και χτες.
και αύριο.
η βροχή σου μοιάζει.



Insomnia




Αγρύπνια, αψηλάφητο ζώο
Δίχως μια στάλα στοργή,
σ' όσους διψάν για χίμαιρες, γέρνεις
την κούπα σου που 'ναι πάντα αδειανή.

Κι ενώ περνά η νύχτα κατάλευκη,
βροχερή σαν Κυριακή,
ξέρω γιατί, στ' αυτί που σπαράζει,
χιμάς και γλύφεις σαν το σκυλί.

Δεν αγαπάς, αφήνεις τους ψύλλους σου,
τους ήχους που φτάνουν από μακριά
αγρύπνια, κακόφωνο όργανο,
που αλέθεις των εκλεκτών το «ωσαννά».

Αγρύπνια, της κόλασης κήτος,
είναι το φιλί σου φωτιά.
Αφήνει μια γεύση από σίδερο,
που 'χουν ξηλώσει από καράβια παλιά.

a (w)hole new walk*






I cannot reach
The one who bleeds
Please set him free
The hole in me

The hole in me
That no-one sees
The hole too deep
Inside of me

What have I done?
Treat me tonight like a movie star
Who will never die
Always surrounded by girls like you
Kill all my loneliness
The hole in me
That never sleeps
Born with me
It's killing me

What have I done?
Treat me tonight like a movie star
Who will never die
Always surrounded by girls like you
Kill all my loneliness





*a night to remember
out in the blackfields


19.2.11

F* Empire state of Mind, sir.




Stay out super late tonight picking apples, making pies
put a little something in our lemonade and take it with us
we’re half-awake in a fake empire
we’re half-awake in a fake empire

Tiptoe through our shiny city with our diamond slippers on
Do our gay ballet on ice
bluebirds on our shoulders
we’re half-awake in a fake empire
we’re half-awake in a fake empire

Turn the light out say goodnight
no thinking for a little while
lets not try to figure out everything it wants
It’s hard to keep track of you falling through the sky
we’re half-awake in a fake empire
we’re half-awake in a fake empire

my F. missing

To Josephine


I awake all filled with you. Your image and the intoxicating pleasures of last night, allow my senses no rest.
Sweet and matchless Josephine, how strangely you work upon my heart.
Are you angry with me? Are you unhappy? Are you upset?
My soul is broken with grief and my love for you forbids repose. But how can I rest any more, when I yield to the feeling that masters my inmost self, when I quaff from your lips and from your heart a scorching flame?
Yes! One night has taught me how far your portrait falls short of yourself!
You start at midday: in three hours I shall see you again.
Till then, a thousand kisses, mio dolce amor! but give me none back for they set my blood on fire.

Napoleon

behind a cigarette





I'm gonna fight 'em all
A nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back



And I'm talking to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette
And the message coming from my eyes
Says leave it alone



Don't want to hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell

And if I catch it coming back my way
I'm gonna serve it to you
And that aint what you want to hear
But thats what I'll do
And the feeling coming from my bones
Says find a home





I'm going to Wichita
Far from this opera for evermore
I'm gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding
Right before the lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me
And I will sing no more
And the stains coming from my blood
Tell me go back home 


T. Vs G.





Well now,
She don't need to see the sun ahead
don't need that help from God above
If you're losing her don't be sad
Cause she will offer you heart attacks

She's tired of problems that
you caused her mind
Tired of all those lies in your freak show
Tired of being alone at night
Being the lowest cat on earth

So Gloria steps out of the prison
Gloria's no longer the wasted disco girl
you've been dreaming about

Gloria alone now forever
Gloria away in the air now
Gloria she's no longer your slave, no


It's time for you to see yourself
All the misery you brought up
Gloria's one day ahead
Watching you from the heaven's gate

...

driving open doors



Smack, crack, bushwhacked
Tie another one to the racks, baby...


why does my heart feel so bad
why does my soal feel so bad

these open doors


Hey kids, rock and roll
Nobody tells you where to go, baby

What if I ride? What if you walk?
What if you rock around the clock?
Tick-tock, tick-tock
What if you did? What if you walk?
What if you tried to get off, baby?

Maybe you did, maybe you walked
Maybe you rocked around the clock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Maybe I ride, maybe you walk
Maybe I drive to get off, baby

Hey kids, where are you?
Nobody tells you what to do, baby

περιμένοντας μέσα στο ποτήρι



έριξε μια ματιά στο γιορτινό τραπέζι.
κοίταξε το ποτήρι κρασί.
να πιω!, σκέφτηκε.
άπλωσε το χέρι.
μύρισε πρώτα,
δεν βιάστηκε.
δοκίμασε.
πέρασε μια σκιά
_
διακοπή
ακάλεστη*
άφησε το ποτήρι
και παρήγγειλε,
 άλλο μπουκάλι.








μια χαραμάδα στο συναίσθημα
και η *κυνικότητα στο δρόμο, έξω.
έτσι κι αλλιώς, *ακάλεστη,
έρχεται πάντα.
