Paradeiro

Haverá paradeiro para o nosso desejo
Dentro ou fora de um vício
Uns preferem dinheiro
Outros querem um passeio perto do precipício

Haverá paraíso
Sem perder o juízo e sem morrer
Haverá pára-raio
Para o nosso desmaio
Num momento preciso

Uns vão de pára-quedas
Outros juntam moedas antes do prejuízo
Num momento propício
Haverá paradeiro para isso?

Haverá paradeiro
Para o nosso desejo
Dentro ou fora de nós?
Haverá paraíso

Best instrumental psych record coming out of Italy. The distortion of sound is now common practice, but when one considers that MOOG and digital sound way are still an experiment, Blue Phantom's sound was revolutionary. The titles certainly indicate that the group self knew what they were...

World Without End (Laurie Anderson)

I remember where i came from
There were burning buildings and a fiery red sea
I remember all my lovers
I remember how they held me
World without end remember me.

East. the edge of the world.
West. those who came before me.

When my father died we put him in the ground
When my father died it was like a whole library
Had burned down.
World without end remember me.

My Eyes (Laurie Anderson)

.
Sometimes i wish i hadn`t gotten that tattoo sometimes i wish i`d married you
one hundred fires
one hundred days
sometimes i feel like a stranger
sometimes i tell lies (whoa ho)
sometimes i act like a monkey
here come the night
and then kerjillions of stars start to shine
and icy comets go whizzing by
and everything`s shaking with a strange delight and here it is: the enormous night
and oo my eyes
they`re lookin all around
and oo my feet
i`m upside down
if i were the president
if i were queen for a day
i`d give the ugly people all the money
i`d re-write the book of love
i`d make it funny
wheel of fortune
wheel of fame
two hundred forty million voices
two hundred forty million names
and down in the ocean where nobody goes
some fish are fast
some are slow
some swim round the world
some hide below
this is the ocean
so deep
so old.
and then kerjillions of stars start to shine
and icy comets go whizzing by
and everything`s shaking with a strange delight and here it is: the enormous night
and oo my eyes
they`re lookin all around
and oo my feet
they`ve left the ground
so cry me a river that leads to a road
that turns into a highway that goes and goes
and tangles in your memories
so long
so old.
