Skeletons - The Speed of Things

I guess
 I've been bruised, if we were to speak plain.
   Every bruise that comes to flesh, makes it mark on the brain.
    You say it's always been and always will be.
     Anything you say has already been said, a million times.
      Do you think of all of the side streets we walked past slow, of buried skeletons in the back yard?
       So you think you've moved me to change, how could I be moved when
        I want to move away from this place?
        Things you think you know or you may have seen,
 might have come to pass if your parents had been kept clean.
Do you think of all of the side streets we've walked past slow, of buried skeletons in the back yard?

Love the way it hurts 

Love the way you cut me deep inside 

Love the way it hurts 

Love the way you cut me deep inside 

You cut me deep inside 

You cut me deep inside 

'Cause I can't see

 'Cause I can't see

 'Cause I can't see 

'Cause I can't see 

'Cause I can't see 

'Cause I can't see 

Love the way it hurts 

Love the way you'll always be the one

 Love the way you're far

 Love the way you never stop run

 Love the way you're far

 Love the way you're far

 Love the way you're far 

I love the way you never stop run 

I Try - Old Ways

Left your old home and found your new bones
Travelled so far but ended up all alone

and you
Try, yes you try 

Look to the one you're with
Look to the place you live
You look to everything to make you feel alive

and you
Try, yes you try

Conjure up those old lies and reinvent those old ties
Baptize yourself as a man you never were still you
Try, yes you try

Redraw those old lines you trespassed a thousand times
It gets hard to see when that smoke fills your eyes still you

Try, yes you try

The State I Am In

I was surprised, I was happy for a day in 1975
I was puzzled by a dream, stayed with me all day in 1995
My brother had confessed that he was gay
It took the heat off me for a while
He stood up with a sailor friend
Made it known upon my sisters wedding day
I got married in a rush to save a kid from being deported
Now she’s in love
I was so touched, I was moved to kick the crutches
From my crippled friend
She was not impressed that I cured her on the Sabbath
So I went to confess
When she saw the funny side, we introduced my child bride
To whisky and gin
The priest in the booth had a photographic memory
For all he had heard
He took all of my sins and he wrote a pocket novel called
“The State I Am In”
So I gave myself to God
There was a pregnant pause before he said ok
Now I spend my day turning tables round In Marks & Spencer’s
They don’t seem to mind
I gave myself to sin
And I’ve been there and back again
I gave myself to Providence
The state that I am in
Oh love of mine, would you condescend to help me
I am stupid and blind
Desperation is the Devil’s work, it is the folly of a boys empty mind
Now I’m feeling dangerous, riding on city buses for a hobby is sad
Lead me to a living end
I promised that I’d entertain my crippled friend
My crippled friend

Fade into you

I want to hold the hand inside you
I want to take a breath thats true
I look to you and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth
You live your life
You go in shadows
Youll come apart and youll go black
Some kind of night into your darkness
Colors your eyes with whats not there.

Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think its strange you never knew

A strangers light comes on slowly
A strangers heart without a home
You put your hands into your head
And then smiles cover your heart

Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think its strange you never knew

Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think its strange you never knew
I think its strange you never knew

Love is All - The Wild Hunt

Well I walk upon the river like it's easier than land
Evil's in my pocket and your will is in my hand
Oh, your will is in my hand

And I'll throw it in the current that I stand upon so still
Love is all, from what I've heard, but my heart's learned to kill
Oh, mine has learned to kill
Oh, I said I could rise
From the harness of our goals
Here come the tears
But like always, I let them go
Just let them go

And now spikes will keep on falling from the heavens to the floor
The future was our skin and now we don't dream anymore
No, we don't dream anymore

Like a house made from spider webs and the clouds rolling in
I bet this mighty river's both my savior and my sin
Oh, my savior and my sin

Oh, I said I could rise
From the harness of our goals
Here come the tears
But like always, I let them go
Just let them go

Well I walk upon the river like it's easier than land
Evil's in my pocket and your strength is in my hand
Your strength is in my hand

And I'll throw you in the current that I stand upon so still
Love is all, from what I've heard, but my heart's learned to kill
Oh, mine has learned to kill

Oh, I said I could rise
From the harness of our goals
Here come the tears
But like always, I let them go
Just let them go

De Paso - Las Piedras EP

De paso estabas pensando en algo
que olvidas a medida que vienes tú,
yo creo, tú sabes pienso lo mismo,
lo olvido a medida que vienes tú
y todo lo que pienso está en suspenso
no prefiero nada antes que seguir así,
yo creo tú sabes pienso lo mismo,
el ritmo se reinventa desde ti,
detienes el paso, creas la marcha
que avanza a medida que vienes tú
y todo lo que piensas está en suspenso,
no prefiero nada antes que seguir así,
todo lo que creo está en suspenso otra vez,
no prefiero nada antes que seguir así,
podemos hablar y nunca decir nada más,
cuando nos decimos siempre se olvida todo,
queremos estar siempre en el mismo lugar,
yo soy tu vecino mi casa siempre será la tuya.

De paso estabas pensando en algo
que miro a medida que eres tú,
los libros que leemos en voz alta
se explican y hablan desde ti
y todo lo que piensas está en suspenso,
no prefiero nada antes que seguir así
y todo lo que creo está en suspenso otra vez
y no prefiero nada antes que seguir así.

Podemos hablar y no decir nada más,
cuando nos decimos siempre se olvida todo,
queremos estar siempre en el mismo lugar,

yo soy tu vecino mi casa siempre será la tuya.

An Argument with Myself - An Argument with Myself

Jens Lekman - An Argument With Myself by DOJAGSC

Having an argument with myself down Elizabeth Street 

Bumping into backpackers and 

struggling with the parameters 

and the basic construction of my feet 

Kicking beer cans and rubbish along the concrete 

Crossing the street and crossing galaxies of taxis and 

backseats and drunk Swedes and half-Greeks 

Shut up, no, you shut up! 

What's the matter, take a number, Buttercup! 

Every time I hear you say "Fuck it" 

I would remind you of the photo in your pocket 

How long it's been there, two years, I bet 

have a sniff, it smells like a cigarette 

When was the last time you smoked a cigarette? 

And more importantly, who did you smoke it with? 

Having an argument with myself down Victoria Street 

Passing the market now, the windows neon illuminating my path to defeat 

Your grinning face scaring a poor parakeet 

Your heavy breathing scaring the wind 

So rich on Summer and so sweet 

Fuck you, no, you fuck you! 

You didn't come here for nothing, did you? 

I know that's what you've been saying lately 

But let me draw attention to a exhibit B 

I stuck it in a little plastic envelope 

and put the flower underneath a microscope 

See what's written on the petals 

Look closer, that's her intials 

And now I'm walking by Bev and Mick's backpacker hostel 

on Victoria Street 

Where it's reggae night tonight 

And the backpackers are pouring out like a tidal wave of vomit 

I have to sit down on the curbside and count the coins in my pocket 

See if I have enough cash to take a taxi home 

...No 

Alright Jens, can we just try to figure this out? 

Can we just talk about this, please? 

Nah, I don't wanna talk to you 

OK, you wanna keep fighting? 

Yeah, I wanna keep on fighting 

Alright, fair enough 

1, 2, 3, here we go! 

Having an argument with myself down Queensbury Street 

The lonely light from the town hall clock tower 

Chime of the bells striking 

1, 2, 3 

And it took shape in the form of an image in the form of a living memory 

The way her shadow used to walk by your side 

In a different time, in a different city 

Oh please, no you oh please! 

I wanna see you drop down on your knees 

I wanna see your hand waving "Farewell" 

Why you hittin' yourself, why you hittin' yourself?

Colores - La Flor de la Biznaga

Yo quisiera ser un ave, yo quisiera ser el Sol, 

yo quisiera ser un ave, yo quisiera ser el Sol.

Amarillo es el canaraio y rosita mi Abuelita,

amarillo es el canaraio y rosita mi Abuelita

Que daria la vida misma por tener otro color,

Que daria la vida misma por tener otro color.

Y que llueva la nostalgia, que sangre el cielo azul,

y que llueva la nostalgia, y que sangre el cielo azul.

Y yo cantando espero, que la vida cambie su color,

Y yo cantando espero, que la vida cambie su color,

color, color, uuh...

Yo quisiera ser un ave, yo quisiera ser el sol,

yo quisiera ser un ave, yo quisiera ser el sol.

Amarillo es el canaraio y rosita mi Abuelita,

amarillo es el canaraio y rosita mi Abuelita

Que daría la vida misma por tener otro color,

que daría la vida misma por tener otro color.

Que llueva la nostalgia, que sangre el cielo azul,

Que llueva la nostalgia, y que sangre el cielo azul.

Y yo cantando espero, que la vida cambie su color,

Y yo cantando espero, que la vida cambie su color,

color, color, uuh...

I was born to do it

My daddy had enough so I put my back into it

That man was born to do it too

We didn’t have enough so we cannot sing for you--HA!

If home is where the heart is baby

Then my home is inside you

I don’t need a linen room of diamonds

Yeah a chicken shed will do
