Стивен Мерритт гениальный поэт. Мой любимый, пожалуй.

The Magnetic Fields - The Book Of Love

The book of love is long and boring
No one can lift the damn thing
It's full of charts and facts and figures
And instructions for dancing
But I...I love it when you read it me
And you...you can read me anything

The book of love has music in it
In fact that's where music comes from
Some of it is just transcendental
Some of it is just really dumb
But I...I love it when you sing to me
And you...you can sing me anything

The book of love is long and boring
And written very long ago
It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes
And things were all too young to know
But I...I love it when you give me things
And you...you ought to give me wedding rings
I...I love it when you give me things
And you...you ought to give me wedding rings

Закат раскинулся крестом поверх долин вершины грез;
Ты травы завязал узлом и вплел в них прядь моих волос.
Ты слал в чужие сны то сумасшедшее видение страны,
Где дни светлы от света звезд.

Господином Горных Дорог назову тебя;
Кто сказал, что холоден снег?
Перевал пройду и порог, перепутие,
Перекрестье каменных рек.

Я ухожу вослед не знавшим, что значит слово "страх".
О, не с тобой ли все пропавшие, погибшие в горах,
Что обрели покой там, где пляшут ветры под твоей рукой
на грани ясного утра?

Господином Горных Дорог назову тебя, облака
Кружат стаей перед грозой.
Наша кровь уходит в песок, позабудь ее, и она
Прорастет тугою лозой.

Я хотела остаться с тобой,
Я уже успела посметь.
Пахнет снегом, прозрачная боль -
То ли даль, то ли высь, то ли смерть...

Пусть укроет цепи следов моих иней,
Чтоб никто найти их не мог.
Кто теперь прочтет подо льдом твое имя,
Господина Горных Дорог?..

Мельница - Господин Горных Дорог

Crash Test Dummies - At My Funeral

I'm still young, but I know my days are numbered
1234567 and so on
But a time will come when these numbers have all ended
And all I've ever seen will be forgotten

[CHORUS]
Won't you come
To my funeral when my days are done
Life's not long
And so I hope when I am finally dead and gone
That you'll gather round when I am lowered into the ground

When my coffin is sealed and I'm safely 6 feet under
Perhaps my friends will see fit then to judge me
Oh when they pause to consider all my blunders
I hope they won't be too quick to begrudge me

If I should die before I wake up
I pray that the Lord my soul will take but
My body, my body - that's your job

I can't be sure where I'm headed after death
To heaven, hell, or beyond to that Great Vast
But if I can I would like to meet my Maker
There's one or two things I'd sure like to ask

Kershaw Sammy «Love Of My Life»

You are the love of my life
And you are the reason I'm alive
And baby, baby, baby
When I think of how you saved me
I go crazy
I've never known love like this
And it fills me with a new tenderness
And I know, I know, I know
You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You're all I can't resist
And I need to tell you
The first time I held you
I knew you are the love of my life
I spent a lifetime waiting
Always hesitating until you
I was lost so deep inside my shell
'Til you came and saved me from myself
Now all I really know
Is I need you
And you are the love of my life
All the joy and tears that I cry
And baby, baby, baby
You don't have to say a word
I see it in your eyes
As we stand together
I promise forever
'Til the day that I die
You are the love of my life
I spent a lifetime waiting
Always hesitating until you
I was lost so deep inside my shell
'Til you came and saved me from myself
Now all I really know
Is I need you
And you are the love of my life
All the joy and tears that I cry
And baby, baby, baby
You don't have to say a word
I see it in your eyes
You are the love of my life
You are the reason I'm alive

Ария - Колизей

Боги прокляли спятивший Рим
Город брошенных женщин и калек.
Здесь глотают отравленный дым,
Режут лезвием вены

Здесь по праздникам ходят смотреть,
Как в агонии бьется человек,
Как пирует свирепая смерть
В желтом круге арены.

Сила приносит свободу,
Побеждай и станешь звездой
А может
Обретешь покой

Твой враг в пыли
Жалок и слаб,
Загнанный зверь,
Раненый раб
Еще секунда и скажет "Убей!"
Перст императора

Святой судьбе
Не прекословь!
Воет толпа,
Чувствует кровь,
Не стоит скорби
Ни жен, ни друзей
Жизнь гладиатора
Колизей

Словно псы, что дерутся за кость,
Обреченные рвут друг другу плоть.
В их глазах не азарт и не злость,
Ничего кроме боли

Ты один не сломался, не лег
От ударов хранил тебя Господь
Видишь, Цезарь сошел на песок
Наградить тебя волей

Сила приносит свободу,
Побеждай и станешь звездой
А может
Обретешь покой

Твой враг в пыли
Жалок и слаб,
Загнанный зверь,
Раненый раб
Еще секунда и скажет "Убей!"
Перст императора

Святой судьбе
Не прекословь!
Воет толпа,
Чувствует кровь,
Не стоит скорби
Ни жен, ни друзей
Жизнь гладиатора
Колизей

Помнишь,
Ты ведь помнишь,
Ты был гордым мудрым вождем
Помнишь,
Ты ведь помнишь,
Как вошли солдаты в твой дом
Ты встречал рассвет
Среди выжженных скал
Время шло, и вот
Час расплаты настал

Хлеба и зрелищ народу
Через край!
Сила приносит свободу,
Побеждай!

Твой враг в пыли
Жалок и слаб,
Загнанный зверь,
Раненый раб
И выбил искры из серых камней
Меч гладиатора

Святой судьбе
Не прекословь!
Воет толпа,
Чувствует кровь,
Не стоит скорби
Ни жен, ни друзей
Жизнь императора
Колизей

Дорога в жизни одна - исполнителя не знаю.

Есть в Италии маленький дом,
Он стоит на обрыве крутом.
В этом доме смеются и пьют
И о чём то тихонько поют


Дорога в жизни одна,
Всё к смерти приводит она.
Чем раньше, чем позже умрёшь
Нашедшего вновь не вернёшь.

Один раз на свете живешь
Все что хочешь от жизни берёшь,
Но девушку пылку и рома бутылку
С собой на тот свет не возьмешь.

За тенью явилася тень,
И стоит на пороге ступень.
В этом доме в двенадцать часов
Старый негр отворяет засов.


За пары распущенных кос,
Что пленили своей красотой,
С оборванцем подрался матрос,
Подстрекаемый шумной толпой.

Схватились два тела дрожа
И блеснули два острых ножа.
Оборванец был ловок и смел
Он врага своего одолел

А когда на колени он пал
Чтоб врага своего рассмотреть...
Он в матросе брата узнал,
Не видавшего много лет…


И тогда он к ней подскочил
И с кинжалом руку занёс.
И в самое сердце вонзил
Он остро заточенный нож.


А когда полицейский дозор
Постучался в тот маленький дом
Оборванец был бледен, как мел
И о чём-то тихонько он пел.


Дорога в жизни одна,
Всё к смерти приводит она.
Чем раньше, чем позже умрёшь
Нашедшего вновь не вернёшь.

Один раз на свете живешь
Все что хочешь от жизни берёшь,
Но девушку пылку и рома бутылку
С собой на тот свет не возьмешь.

Но девушку пылку и рома бутылку
С собой на тот свет не возьмешь...

не совсем согласен, но написано красиво:

The World/Inferno Friendship Society - All The World Is A Stage (Dive)

Quiet desperation ain’t my goddamn scene.
I don’t know if you can follow me,
but you bought a ticket so i guess we’re gonna see.
My friends!
To the wine and to the stage!
If you squander your precious beautiful days,
that makes you a sucker.
You don’t want to be a sucker do you?
To the quitters and the complainers,
if we never meet again
remember when –-

All the world was a stage dive,
All the world loved a clown,
Knowing how the clown hated them.
And all the clowns in the house
Stared up at the stage.
They used to get so mad.
The had such a good thing that day
But at the last minute it just sort of went bad.

They lost their nerve,
They just went straight.
They didn’t have the balls to hold it down and
they brought everybody else right down with them
While clowns must stand.

So welcome.
Welcome to the scene!
You’ve all got to come out and have a drink with me. I’ll buy round one,
you buy round two,
you buy round three.
We’ll make a toast to absent friends
and better days,
to remembering and being remembered as brave
and not as a bunch of whining jerks.
To the quitters and the complainers,
if we never meet again remember this –-

All the world is a stage dive
All the world loves a clown.
You know that clowns hate them and
how hard it is to get a clown out of the house
and up on the stage.
But tonight you’ve come, you’re here, I’m so glad.
Don’t forget how it feels kids and don’t crap out.

Don’t lose your nerve.
Do not go straight.
You must testify or
I’m going to come to your house to
punch you in the mouth
‘cause clowns must stand.

When a clown goes straight all clowns are hurt. When a clown abandons his passion
all his friends end up with egg on the face.
Clowns must stand.

What did I say? Clowns must stand.

All Things Must Pass
George Harrison

Sunrise doesn't last all morning
A cloudburst doesn't last all day
Seems my love is up and has left you with no warning
It's not always going to be this grey

All things must pass
All things must pass away

Sunset doesn't last all evening
A mind can blow those clouds away
After all this, my love is up and must be leaving
It's not always going to be this grey

All things must pass
All things must pass away
All things must pass
None of life's strings can last
So, I must be on my way
And face another day

Now the darkness only stays the night-time
In the morning it will fade away
Daylight is good at arriving at the right time
It's not always going to be this grey

All things must pass
All things must pass away
All things must pass
All things must pass away

THE CURE - Burn

"Don't look don't look" the shadows breathe
Whispering me away from you
"Don't wake at night to watch her sleep
You know that you will always lose
This trembling
Adored
Tousled bird mad girl... "
But every night I burn
But every night I call your name
Every night I burn
Every night I fall again

"Oh don't talk of love" the shadows purr
Murmuring me away from you
"Don't talk of worlds that never were
The end is all that's ever true
There's nothing you can ever say
Nothing you can ever do... "
Still every night I burn
Every night I scream your name
Every night I burn
Every night the dream's the same
Every night I burn
Waiting for my only friend
Every night I burn
Waiting for the world to end

"Just paint your face" the shadows smile
Slipping me away from you
"Oh it doesn't matter how you hide
Find you if we're wanting to
So slide back down and close your eyes
Sleep a while
You must be tired... "
But every night I burn
Every night I call your name
Every night I burn
Every night I fall again
Every night I burn
Scream the animal scream
Every night I burn
Dream the crow black dream

Самая мощная песня из моего любимого фильма "Ворон"...

xandria - forever yours

It feels like
keeping and holding a star in the sky
born to be born again with you
the days of thunder cry their goodbye
and for the first time I know what to do
I just keep on being one with you

forever yours, forever yours
I'm here to stay
cause in your arms, in your arms
I feel so save

forever yours, forever yours
I'm here to stay
cause in your arms, in your arms
I feel so save

loving and fighting the mirror I need
dearest I'm down on the ground
waitind to see whereto the storm leads
it's my blood that bleeds from your wounds
dearest you're all that I need

forever yours, forever yours
I'm here to stay
cause in your arms, in your arms
I feel so save

forever yours, forever yours
I'm here to stay
cause in your arms, in your arms
I feel so save

and when I kiss you
your lips are the onla food I need
your fingertips open
spaces that make me complete
dearest you're all that I need

forever yours, forever yours
I'm here to stay
cause in your arms, in your arms
I feel so save

forever yours, forever yours
I'm here to stay
cause in your arms, in your arms
I feel so save

forever

loving - fighting
holding - losing
giving - taking

wanting forever you

loving - fighting
holding - losing
giving - taking

One
by Metallica

I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me

Now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up, I cannot see
That there is not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please, God, wake me

Back in the womb it's much too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I'll live

Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please, God, wake me

Now the world is gone, I'm just one
Oh God, help me
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please, God, help me

Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell

Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell

Elton John - Tiny Dancer
(Elton John/Bernie Taupin)

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady
Seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile
You'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her
Dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me
Tiny dancer in my hand

Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad
Piano man he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on she sings the songs
The words she knows, the tune she hums

Bridge:
But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly, slowly

Chorus:
Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
(Repeat)

(Repeat 1st Verse)

(Bridge)

(Chorus)

Dream Evil - The Book of Heavy Metal (March of the Metallians)


I'd sign a contract with the devil
I've tried for so very long
I'd die to become immortal
that's why I sing this song
Am I a wannabe? - have I no dignity.
Who'd give up all my life.. to be
In the book of heavy metal.. metal!
In the book of heavy metal

In life - I have no religion
besides the heavy metal gods
wear nothing but black skin tight leather
My skin's clad with Metal studs
Am I a wannabe? - I have no dignity.
I give up all my life to be..
In the book of heavy metal.. metal!
In the book of heavy metal

Some twenty years ago, the goods put down there feet,
So firmly in to the ground that no man of sword nor pen,
could ever chains the rules upon which
The very fundament of metal was made.

Read all about it, in the book of heavy metal
Read all about it, in the manual
Read all about it, in the book of heavy metal
Read all about it
Don't need no flashy house, no kids/car or ugly wife
the only thing I want, is what my parents don't
need no widescreen TV, No in all honesty
the only thing I want to be (to be or not to be)

In the book of heavy metal - In life - metal!
In the book of heavy metal - to death - metal!

I've signed - a contract with the devil
I'd like to become a star
I'd die - to become immortal
That's why I play the guitar

СВАДЕБНАЯ ПЕСНЯ
Лева Би-2, Шура Би-2 - Лева Би-2

Никогда я не был так близко
К облакам к бесконечной печали
Или небо становится низким
Или выше от боли мы стали

Никому я уже не доверю
Почему я так горько грущу
Я шагами вселенную мерю
И как тень нелюбимых хожу

Ничего быть не может сравнимо
С глубиной твоих огненных глаз
И плыву я невидимый мимо
Как до слез веселящий газ

Никогда никому ничего
Никогда никому ничего
Никогда никому ничего

каждый раз, когда я на дне колодца, эта песня хоть чуть-чуть, но поднимает меня

Pearl Jam - Down

Down. Fall by the wayside no getting out.
Down. Cry me a river dried up and dammed.
The names can be changed but the place is still the same.
I am loaded. Told that all's for naught. Holds me down.

Rise. Life is in motion. I'm stuck in line.
Rise. You can't be neutral on a moving train.
One day the symptoms fade. Think I'll throw these pills away.
And if hope could grow from dirt like me. It can be done.

Won't let the light escape from me.
Won't let the darkness swallow me.

So long.
