Pretoria is a city located in the northern part of Gauteng Province, South Africa. It is one of the country's three capital cities, serving as the executive (administrative) and de facto national capital; the others are Cape Town, the legislative capital, and Bloemfontein, the judicial capital. Pretoria is contained within the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality as one of several constituent former administrations (among which also Centurion and Soshanguve). Pretoria itself is sometimes referred to as "Tshwane" due to a long-running and controversial proposed change of name, which has yet to decided as of 2012.
The city's original name was Pretoria Philadelphia ("Pretoria of brotherly love"). It gave its name to the Pax Praetoriana, referring to the country's relative stability.
Pretoria in South Africa is popularly known as The Jacaranda City due to the thousands of Jacaranda trees planted in its streets, parks and gardens.
The Southern Transvaal Ndebele occupied the river valley, which was to become the location of the city of Pretoria, by around 1600.
Tonton David is a French Reggae singer born in Réunion. He is renowned for his raggamuffin performances, but uses influences of soul music, gro kâ (from the French West Indies), the Zairian rumba.
Tonton David had a turbulent childhood in a suburb of Paris. He left his family at 14, and managed to make a career in music with powerful and political lyrics. In 1990 Tonton David had his big break when he was featured in a TV report about "Black Paris". Tonton David's performance resulted in signing with Virgin record label. Shortly after, he recorded "Peuples du monde", which was featured on the famous French rap compilation Rapattitudes.
Le blues de la racaille released on 2 December 1991, was his debut album where he explored social issues such as unemployment, poverty, racism, becoming a figurehead for a whole generation of disenchanted French youth. In 1991 he performed in front of an audience of 12,000 music fans at the Fête des Kafs in Saint Denis, La Réunion and in 1992 at Reggae Sunsplash festival in Kingston, Jamaica. In 1993, he released his second album Allez leur dire recorded in Memphis, Tennessee. "Sûr et certain" taken from the album was released as a single. 1995 saw as yet his biggest success with the song "Chacun sa route" from the soundtrack of the film Un indien dans la ville. His third album Récidiviste in 1995 gave the successful singles, "Pour tout le monde pareil" and a collaboration with rai star Cheb Mami in "Fugitifs". The fourth album Faut qu'ça arrête was more influenced by Haitian music out of collaboration with Haitian musician Papa Jube.
was up shawty
was up
you got some pretty hair
thank you you know i got a little bit of spanish in me
We've been knowing each other
For many a year, it's true
And I can't think of anyone else
Can make me feel as good as you
Yeah you, you make my day
A little bit brighter in every way
I'm so glad to have you
In this old troubled time
When true love and understanding, child
Are so hard to find
Yes you, you make my way
A little bit brighter every day
Some people live in darkness
Their whole life through
I just know that I'd have been one of them
If it hadn't have been for you
Now sometimes I feel afraid
As we all tend to do
But I think of the loving good times we've had
And I know we're gonna make it through
'Cause you, you make my day
A little bit brighter in every way
Hey, hey
Now you, you make my day
Hey, a little bit brighter in every
Every, every, every way
Now you, you make my day
A little bit brighter in every way
Ich bin geduldig
Allzeit bereit
Ich warte nur, bis wiedermal ein ..Ich war nie tot
Ich halt mich versteckt
Bis man endlich wieder meine Nützlichkeit entdeckt
Ich leb in vielen Herzen
Fest verankert im Zorn
Durch jeden Türkenwitz
Wird ein Stück von mir gebor'n
Massenarbeitslosigkeit haucht mir Leben ein
Ich fresse kleine Löcher ins Gewissen rein
Das ... der Asylanten schon
Die Stimmung schwärzt sich auf
Die Sprüche in der Kneipe
Den Kampf nicht aufzubauen
Bin Meister der Imagonie
Ich hasse klare Köpfe, lieben Massenhysterie
Tanzt nur weiter so
Bis der Wind sich dreht
Tanzt nur weiter so
Tanzt alles aus dem Weg
Den Geist, den ihr gerufen habt, werdet ihr nicht
Ich lege meine Samen in jeden warmen Schoss
Wendet euch nach rechts zum Sprung
Das alles mit dem neuen deutschen Schwung
Zieht euch schöne Kleider an
Tanzt meine Symphonie
Durch euer Beispiel zwinge ich die Zweifler in die Knie
Freuet euch des Lebens, bequem und angenehm
Die Endlösung gibt's für jedes Problem
Tanzt nur weiter so
Bis der Wind sich dreht
Tanzt nur weiter so
Tanzt alles aud dem Weg
Tanzt nur weiter so
Bis der Wind sich dreht
Tanzt nur weiter so
Tanzt alles aus dem Weg
Tanzt nur weiter so
Bis der Wind sich dreht
Tanzt nur weiter so
Tanzt alles aus dem Weg
Tanzt nur weiter so
Bis der Wind sich dreht
Tanzt nur weiter so
Tanzt alles aus dem Weg
Bis der Wind sich dreht ...
As I walk along these shores
I am the history within
As I climb the mountainside
Breaking Eden again
Dark the day, dark the night
The warring dust, the morning tribe
Crushed by a million suns
Hear the heart of you lies
Over land and sea
I'll come fighting for you
Over land and sea
A dawn is breaking before us
Proterra, take this hand
The open wound, the promised land
Breaking the waves, spread the oars
I've laid my hands upon your soul
To feel your demons inside me
As vacant people passed me by
They told me things I can't believe
This secret mission I possess
Releasing things I cannot see
Embers to ashes, dirt to dust
And within this gift I now conceive
In the fallen rain
I can see your face
Even though it's not the same
In the fallen rain
The blood still stains
As our bruises wash away
I can finally believe
Can you see what I've unleashed?
I beg for you to set me free
Will you accept this desperate plea?
In the fallen rain
I can see your face
Even though it's not the same
In the fallen rain
The blood still stains
As our bruises wash away
Well I can feel the piercing stare that's coming from your eyes
And Im Surrounded by the sound of distant shrieks and cries
In a darkened calm before the storm begins to rise
I put aside my hopes and dreams so I can survive
In the fallen rain
I can see your face
Even though it's not the same
In the fallen rain
The blood still stains
Ich hab nen bösen Bruder
Der sieht aus wie ich
Und für alles Schlechte
Beschuldigt man mich
Er ist nicht sehr witzig
Er ist nicht sehr nett
Und leider ist er oft so
Wie ich's nicht gern hätt'
Ich hab nen bösen Bruder
Der ist komisch drauf
Und macht uns viele Feinde
Das nimmt er in Kauf
Er schlägt, wenn er wütet
Alles kurz und klein
Er ist ätzend und neidisch
Ein echtes Schwein
Ein echtes Schwein
Schaut mich nicht so an
Als wär ich ein Luder
Und wenn ihr euch beschweren wollt
Dann wendet euch
[3x] An meinen Bruder (An meinen Bruder)
Ich hab nen bösen Bruder
Der weià ganz genau
Wo die Leute schön verletzbar sind
Er ist die gröÃte Sau
Er packt sie bei ihren Schwächen
Und tritt mit seinem FuÃ
Bis ihre Knochen brechen
Es ist mir zum VerdruÃ
Er ist laut und gemein
Nicht nur das eine Mal
Und immer muà ich geradestehen
Für seine verkommene Moral
Ich kann mich nicht dagegen wehren
Muà büÃen für seine Sünden
Hab oft versucht ihn zu bekehren
Ihn aufgefordert
Zu verschwinden
Ich hab nen bösen Bruder
Und der wohnt in mir drin
So kann ich ihn nicht stoppen
Das hat wirklich keinen Sinn
Neulich hatte ich genug
Ich versuchte ihn zu schlagen
Ich konnte ihn nicht fassen
So muÃte ich mich vertragen...
Mit meinem Bruder
[3x] Mit meinem Bruder (Mit meinem Bruder)
This is it, this is what I've found
This is the final statement
The one that's always bound
It's all predestined by forces so unknown
Watching your every move behind a curtained wall
At one point I thought I had control
Like an idiot, I listened to my thoughts
I got caught, had to lose it all
Superficial things, taken for truths
What's behind it all?
This is it, this is what I've found
This is the final statement
The one that's always bound
What can't I see? Can I believe?
I was brought, brought into it all
Like an idiot, I listened to my thoughts
What can't I see? (pure ether)
Can I believe? (guaranteed to blow your mind)
Can I believe? (guaranteed to blow your mind)
Can I believe?
Can I believe?
Can I believe?
Pure ether, guaranteed to blow your mind
Pure ether, all your deeds controlled up high
All your deeds controlled up high
Channeled by immortal minds
All your deeds controlled up high
Channeled by immortal minds
This is it, this is what I've found
Inferior to the other kind
Break on through the other side
Inferior to the other kind
Break on through the other side
Watching your every move
Forces on the other side
Watching your every move
Forces on the other side
So this is how it goes
Well I, I would have never known
And if it ends today
Well I'll still say that you shine brighter than anyone
Now I think we're taking this too far
Don't you know that it's not this hard?
Well, it's not this hard
But if you take what's your's and I take mine
Must we go there?
Please, not this time, no, not this time
Well this is not your fault
But if I'm without you then I will feel so small
And if you have to go
We'll always know that you shine brighter than anyone does
Now I think we're taking this too far
Don't you know that it's not this hard?
Well, it's not this hard
But if you take what's your's and I take mine
Must we go there?
Please, not this time, no, not this time
If you run away now
Will you come back around?
And if you ran away
I'd still wave goodbye
Watching you shine bright
Now I think we're taking this too far
Don't you know that it's not this hard?
Well, it's not this hard
But if you take what's your's and I take mine
Must we go there?
Please, not this time, no, not this time
I'll wave goodbye
Watching you shine bright
(You shine bright, you shine bright)
Trapped inside this mortal body
My wish is his command unknowingly
Forever it seems since I was free
My urge is growing stronger
I want to Slay them myself
Just like it used to be
Placed on earth to satisfy the need
To breed the bodies for Dark supremacy
Once I also was one of those
Whom I now seek to bring back with me
Come with me, come Die with me
I offer you Eternity
Mission accomplished one more sent down
So I search for another host
You who are descents of holy seed
Will always be the only target for me
Come with me, come Die with me
What's this
That I see
Have you turned yourself from thee
You are not
What you portray
Any longer.
Well
There it is
No more comfort
Will comfort me
You are not
What you appear
Anymore.
Let it not subside
That beacon falls from your eyes
There's nothing left but change
Well
Quietly
My eyes quality
"sight to see"
You are not
What you appear any longer.
Let it not subside
That beacon fallen from your eyes
There's nothing left but change
What was, what will be
Have you turned yourself from me
You are not
What you appear to be
Any longer.
Longer
Look at you
You wouldn't do this to... me
Well
Quietly
My eyes ???
"sight to see"
You are not
What you appear
Any longer.
Longer, ohhhhhhh
If, by chance, you come for me
I won't slip away
If, by chance, you come for me
I won't slip away
From you
Me...
Me and my brother hikin'
Me and my brother might find a turtle,
Just have some fun.
Me, and my Brother playing with our dog;
two mighty men with a wolf,
who drinks from the gulf.
Cool, calm water will bring back our voice to Mother.
cool, calm water bring your voices back..
I fell down in a creek bed.
Brother wept.
In his face I met fear;
that I could die right there.
Now I've grown bold and lonely,
i shoulda stayed with dear brother,
at home,
we grew up old.
Cool, calm water bring your voice back to mother
cool, calm water bring your voices back
cool, calm water bring your voice back to mother
cool, calm water bring your voices back
da da da da da
da da da da da da da
da da da
la la la la la la
la la la la la la la
la la la
Cool, calm water bring your voice back to mother
cool, calm water bring your voices back
cool, calm water bring your voice back to mother
cool, calm water bring your voices
cool, calm water
cool, calm water
Es kam Mechmed Mustafa aus der Türkei,
so wollte es Allah,
da war er gerade zwei
In der Schule saß er neben mir
und ich fragte ihn:
"Sag wo kommst du her?"
"Das ist doch einerlei!"
Nicht genug, dass da ein Neuer kommt
wird er auch noch frech, darum kriegt er prompt eins mit dem Lineal
worauf gleich der Lehrer kommt
"Seid ihr bei Verstand,
gebt euch jetzt die Hand,
denn man ist gottlob zivilisiert in diesem Land!"
Refrain:
Wir waren wie Pech und Rock'n Roll
und uns war schlecht vom Alkohol,
waren auf die selben Mädchen scharf
und machten das, was man nie darf.
Ich sang die selben Lieder wie er,
wie Brüder waren wir.
Und ist es eine Ewigkeit her,
Brüder sind wir,
Brüder bleiben wir!
Gestern traf ich Mustafa,
als ich in seine Augen sah,
fing er zu weinen an:
"Auf einmal standen sie vor meinem Haus
und sie riefen lauthals 'Türken raus!'!
Wem hab ich was getan?"
"Ich bin hier solang ich denken kann,
warum spuckt man meine Kinder an,
warum schmiert man einen Halbmond an die Tür?
Ich hab auf einmal keine Freunde mehr
und sie sagen wieder 'Du' zu mir
doch nur aus Arroganz,
nicht weil sie Brüder sind wie wir!"
Refrain
"Du heißt Rainhard und ich Mechmed,
wegen diesem Unterschied
haben Häuser schon gebrannt!
Stehst du heute neben mir,
wie ein Bruder, denn das waren wir,
ein Herz und eine Hand!
Allah gebe uns Verstand!
This story began before I was born
A childless woman cried sadly at home
Her maid gave birth to a child of her own
My father felt joy yet he was torn
A conflict began one day at dawn
The maid took your hand and you were gone
To the desert you left, towards the unknown
I reckon you were so alone
God will hear you oh, my blood
For the years you roamed in dirt and mud
Forsaken like a nomad, deserted in the flood
Forgive me, brother
You did nothing wrong and took all the shame
I suffered myself, yet I am to blame
The lord blessed us both, but we still fight and claim
That kid on the mountain, - what was his name?
Brother hear my plea tonight
I grew tired from these endless years of (Our) fight
From a tiny corner stone we may build our realm of light
You'd trade our starving eyes for a tar and feathered heart
a 25cent execution
to hear your anthem praises played
on frequency decayed
a breath of frigid self-made winter.
Sing out and sing loud
we'll sing as loud as you do
and hold on hold on
cause this is the end of the line
I'm not falling.
Of beautiful and sacred things
and your immaculate disguise
I'm trading it in
for my pride war emblem.
As if id fall to pieces
in the wake of your design.
I'm not falling.
Sing out and sing loud
we'll sing as loud as you do
and hold on hold on
cause this is the end of the line
They said you knew how to kill and how to maim
They lied, you tried, bend the truth, they won't allow mistakes
You're alive and doing good
Just as long as you can hunt
You will be like this forever
You're never coming home
They said you would get the best of everything
They lied, you tried, every day they laughed at you
Death, my brother, I told him never to go there
Remorse, my bother, they had him taken on his way to war
War- he's taken ill
War- and then some more
War- it's everyday
War- it's everywhere
Still alive and feeling well, wont you come and join us
We will be here for a while, our time is all we've got
We're alive and feeling well, do we wanna change this
What the hell is going on, do we deserve the pain
So they said you will defend your country in every way
But they lied, and they tried to hold you into their pride
Hate, my brother its waiting for a no good cause
Belive, my brother, one day you will come back home from war
War- he still exists
War- he's nothing more
War- he's had enough
War- can take no more
We're alive and feeling well, do we wanna change this
What the hell is going on, do we deserve the pain
Dead, my brother, I told him never to go there
BARE TREE
your face comes back
through cracks in usual days
I understand
walk on and look away
I'm killing time
I know there's nothing to wait for
rewriting my lines
I'll make my decisions tomorrow
there's so much to think about
I'll close my eyes just like the doll-house windows
I'll stop that image from coming back to life
a bare tree in love with the winter
I'll make my mind up another time
I turn my back
on hope, whatever it is
I won't lose track
of just how I got to be here
I will renounce
my faith in reunion
I'll relearn how
to embrace things like before
I'll learn how to part with doubts
I'll close my eyes just like the doll-house windows
I'll stop that image from coming back to life
a bare tree in love with the winter
I'll make my mind up another time
and what if there is no oneness
it can't give your existence meaning
another empty concept
the end's etched into the beginning
I'll close my eyes just like the doll-house windows
I'll stop that image from coming back to life
a bare tree in love with the winter
I'll make my mind up another time
I'll close my eyes just like the doll-house windows
I'll stop that image from coming back to life
a bare tree in love with the winter
VERSE ONE:
There's a brand new sun
Hanging in the sky today
It's been there every morning
When I pull back the curtains
And open up the shades
It hit me without warning
Maybe it's my point of view
But everything has changed since I met You
CHORUS:
Now life is sparkling
And love is glistening
I'm finding everything
Looks a whole lot brighter
Not a day goes by
Without a clear blue sky
And You're the reason why
It looks a whole lot brighter
Na na na na na na
VERSE TWO:
The clouds of the past
Do their best to block the sun
Casting shadows
But the light of Your love
Makes the darkness turn and run
And I'm standing in its glow
It's like nothing I've ever seen
It's like the sun is following me
(repeat Chorus)
Na na na na na na (x3)
(repeat Chorus)
Paul Kelly (Mushroom)
Where is your husband?
I've seen him digging snow
Blowing on his blue hands
With yards and yards to go
You're wild you're wild
You're wild
He's just a child
It's getting brighter all the time
It's getting brighter all the time
Where is your lover boy?
I heard him on the radio
Singing a lover's story
Then the music turned to snow
You're wild you're wild
You're wild
He's just a child
It's getting brighter all the time
It's getting brighter all the time
Here comes your law man
He's coming through fields of snow
With his pistol in his pants
And only yards to go
You're wild you're wild
You're wild
He's just a child
It's getting brighter all the time

Poemas que no leí
Paisajes que perdí
Recorriendo mil calles a solas
Prometiéndome partir
El corazón herido de tanto no sentir
Y de pronto el calor entero
de tu voz que vuelve a mí
Quisiera abrirte el alma y compartir
Quisiera darte el cielo que hay en mí
Volar a lo más alto y descubrir
Aquello que aún nos queda por sentir
Si tu mirar supiera mentir, que no es así
Si tu boca al rozarme huyera
Ya no habría más que decir
La soledad dormida, una puerta a medio abrir
Y un te quiero fundido en vida
Un te quiero tan sólo a tí
Quisiera abrirte el alma y compartir
Quisiera darte el cielo que hay en mí
Volar a lo más alto y descubrir
Aquello que aún nos queda por sentir
Aquello que aún nos queda por sentir
Por sentir
Por sentir
the night is darkest just before dawn, so we search for brighter days. trudging fields of deceit. this will be the day of amelioration. if we are granted a clear sky. where we can look up and admire all that you are without a storm in the way. there's been so many storms as of late. i know nothing but rain. dry up our eyes. dry up our lives. dry up the rain. the storm is inside me. with so many storms around me, it's no surprise that when i see the sun i begin to squint my eyes. i can't handle it all at once, so i let it in slowly. and bask in my saving grace. (i need Your sun to dry up the rain.)
Verse 1
Du bist mein Bruder, im Blute vereint
Wohin Du gehst, gehe auch ich.
Rücken an Rücken umzingelt vom Feind,
Die Schwerter funkeln hell im Licht.
Doch ich kann spüren, wie Deine Kraft Dich verläßt,
Du sinkst zusammen auf die Knie.
Kommst nicht mehr hoch, irgendwas hält Dich fest,
so hilflos sah ich Dich noch nie.
Was Dich auch hält, Du kannst dem nicht widerstehen,
sinkst immer tiefer in den Sumpf.
Ich will es töten, doch ich kann es nicht sehen,
und meine Waffen sind zu stumpf.
Nur Du allein kannst Dich jetzt noch befreien,
wenn Du nicht kämpfst sterben wir Beide.
Was es auch ist, so mächtig kann es nicht sein,
drum zieh Dein Schwert aus seiner Scheide.
Reff
Steh auf !!!!!
Verse 2
Ich schlage um mich, ohnmächtig und blind,
doch es liegt nicht in meinen Händen.
Ich bin so hilflos unds o schwach wie ein Kind
Kann deine Qualen nicht beenden.
Der Feind so mächtig, er wird Dich besiegen,
gewissenlos ohne erbarmen.
Du streckst die Waffen, die Schlacht ist entschieden,
ich halt Dich fest in meinen Armen.
Die Zeit verfliegt, die Ewigkeit ein Augenblick.
So Vieles wird mir plötzlich klar.
Die Wut verwandelt sich in Trauer, Stück für Stück,
denn Nichts wird sein wie es mal war.
Du schaust mich an, ich kann’s in deinen Augen sehen
Das Schicksal trennt uns jetzt und hier.
Wohin du gehst, können wir nicht gemeinsam gehen,
doch du bleibst stets ein Teil von mir.
Reff
Steh auf !!!!!
Bridge 1
Was ist los, warum kämpfst Du nicht mehr ?
Warum setzt Du Dich nicht mehr zur Wehr ?
Laß Dich führen, zieh mit mir in die Schlacht,
so wie wir es schon immer gemacht.
Bridge 2
Nimm meinen Mut, meine Kraft, meinen Zorn.
Noch haben wir diesen Krieg nicht verloren.
Wir sind Beide zum kämpfen geboren.
[Verse 1: Mr. Cheeks]
I thought I'd write this one for you, ain't seen you in a while
Staring at your picture wishing I was wit cha, miss ya smile
And when I'm wit cha it's like I don't wanna leave again
Without you listen I don't wanna breathe again
You give me a lot and everyday you giving more
So there's no need to tell you who or what I'm living for
I miss ya very much shit I miss ya every touch
And I know you'd come through for me in the clutch
I'm on the road with my peeps and I know I'm moving
But yet the time we spend together that's so soothing
Love it how we do shit I pour a drink for ya
You pour a drink for me and always think of me
I call you when you when I'm home I know you bored and all alone
I wanna come and scope you up and place you in the zone
But we could be together on the right now
Cuddle on the couch, watch some TV, turn the lights down
That's what's up...
[Chorus: Alexander O'Neal]
Cloudy was the day when sunshine came into my life, and made it brighter
(I can't go a day without my lover)
She's touching me with her warmness as the light shine from her smile
She makes me happy...
(I can't go a day without my lover)
[Verse 2: Mr. Cheeks]
I know I put you through some shit but yet you stayed with me
Messing with them other chicks it's only games they play with me
Searching for something I had with me all the time
I made a change, my love to you I'm giving all of mine
Send you cards in the mail to show you that I care
Shit a life without you is the only thing I fear
So I'm a make sure a nigga hold it down for
The foundation wishing I could be around more
But you know the drama gotta keep a nigga running
I bugged out with the crew it's only you I'm wanting
Call you on the horn to hear you on the other end
"Mental hugging giving my loving to no other men"
This one's personal so keep it close to you
Be there for each other that's what we supposed to do
And anything you want I make sure you get it
And anything you into babygirl you know I'm wit it
Holla when you ready for me...
[Chorus]
[Verse 3: Mr. Cheeks]
Yeah, listen don't mean to burn your ear out
But this is something you should hear out
Right now
Shit I'd give you the world
I'm a make it home to my babygirl someway or somehow
Ain't afraid to tell ya how your fella feel cuz your fellas real
And on the real girl you're hella chill
I hope you get the message by the end of this
Wanted you from the start, from the heart I'm sending this
This my last gig I'm on my way home
And we can go and paint the town or we can stay home
It don't matter what we do as long as I'm wit you
Spend some time wit you, you know what I'm a do
Get it on wit you just like the first time
There's no need for this man to rehearse mine
Superstar wit ya, back-to-back and far wit ya
Without a doubt I'm going all out for wit ya
I've laid my hands upon your soul
To feel your demons inside me
As vacant people passed me by
They told me things I can't believe
This secret mission I possess
Releasing things I cannot see
Embers to ashes, dirt to dust
And within this gift I now conceive
In the fallen rain
I can see your face
Even though it's not the same
In the fallen rain
The blood still stains
As our bruises wash away
I can finally believe
Can you see what I've unleashed?
I beg for you to set me free
Will you accept this desperate plea?
In the fallen rain
I can see your face
Even though it's not the same
In the fallen rain
The blood still stains
As our bruises wash away
Well I can feel the piercing stare that's coming from your eyes
And Im Surrounded by the sound of distant shrieks and cries
In a darkened calm before the storm begins to rise
I put aside my hopes and dreams so I can survive
In the fallen rain
I can see your face
Even though it's not the same
In the fallen rain
The blood still stains
I'm gonna let my walls come down,
Hold my breath until I drown,
Take me up with a bottle of gin,
Oh my brother let me in
Walking through this desert town,
I found my brother on the ground,
I said take my hand and I'll pick you up,
Take you to a place where the waters rough
Cause we're all dreaming of waking up
I'll tell you now again,
My brother you're my friend,
Though sticks and stones may break my bones,
I'll be here till the end,
My brother you're my friend
Five years gone since father passed,
You told yourself this draught won't last,
Well I stood by and watched the rain,
Swear the skies will clear someday
And the sun will shine on your parade
I'll tell you now again,
My brother you're my friend,
Though sticks and stones may break my bones,
I'll be here till the end,
My brother you're my friend
I'll be here till the end,
Your mother helped you move
Made your transition smooth
Your community was there
The youthful faces, pretty hair
You were surrounded, by your peers
Then one day you saw it
You went home and tried to draw it
You couldn't get it quite right
Its luminescence was so strangely bright
Living in a fantasy
Of toxicity (toxic-ly)
You're rubbing up against the veneer of disease
You didn't know, you didn't ask you know that its easy
But you don't care you like it that way
Being taken by surprise
And narrowly narrowly narrowly
Avoiding your demise
A year later, early one morning
You woke up coughing you poor thing
Turned on the radio, but it wasn't active
There was a blackout, it was radioactive
So your mother came to get you
Because that's what mothers do
Left your neighborhood in pieces
Reduced to rubble and debris
Driving back to the suburbs in her SUV
Watched it on TV
In your fathers den of iniquity
And you changed the channel
When you saw your old friend
The city lights shine so bright in the sky at night
When the sun goes down for the evening
(Down for the evening)
The palm trees sway with the breeze under these conditions
I think I?m thanking God for the seasons
'Cause he?s all that I?m searching for, that?s right
So give him your burdens and get your body on the dance floor
(Come on now!)
Ooh ooh, things are getting brighter and brighter
And brighter and brighter and brighter
Ooh ooh, my burden's getting lighter and lighter
And lighter and lighter and lighter
Ooh ooh, things are getting brighter and brighter
And brighter and brighter and brighter
Ooh ooh, my burden's getting lighter and lighter
And lighter and lighter and lighter
Before G O D my burden was heavy I had no reason for living
(Reason for living)
But then he gave me eyes to see everything inside of me
That held me back from this freedom
'Cause he?s all that I?m searching for, that?s right
So give him your burdens and get your body on the dance floor
(Come on now!)
Ooh ooh, things are getting brighter and brighter
And brighter and brighter and brighter
Ooh ooh, my burden's getting lighter and lighter
And lighter and lighter and lighter
Ooh ooh, things are getting brighter and brighter
And brighter and brighter and brighter
Ooh ooh, my burden's getting lighter and lighter
And lighter and lighter and lighter
Ooh ooh, things are getting brighter and brighter
And brighter and brighter and brighter
Ooh ooh, my burden's getting lighter and lighter
And lighter and lighter and lighter
Ooh ooh, things are getting brighter and brighter
And brighter and brighter and brighter
Ooh ooh, my burden's getting lighter and lighter
And lighter and lighter and lighter
Praise Jesus, Hallelujah, praise Jesus, come on, come on
Praise Jesus, Hallelujah, praise Jesus, come on, come on
Praise Jesus, Hallelujah, praise Jesus, come on, come on
Praise Jesus, Hallelujah, praise Jesus, come on, come on
(Give Him praise)
Praise Jesus, Hallelujah, praise Jesus, come on, come on
(Give Him praise)
Praise Jesus, Hallelujah, praise Jesus, come on, come on
Come on and praise His name, praise You, Jesus, praise You, Jesus
Give Him praise
(Praise Jesus, Hallelujah, praise Jesus, come on, come on)
Give Him praise
Isn’t it strange
Back here again
The red brick house and all the trees
I climbed then
Nothing changed
Same as before
The only thing I see is you’re
I can tell you've been crying
It's alright I am here
To make you smile
Even for a while
Let me hold you
Let me hold you now
I'll be yours for the asking
Say the words
I'll be your friend
And I'll be listening I'll be listening well
Tell me anything
I'll understand
Refrain:
And I will catch you
When you're falling
Down, down, down
I will watch you
'Til you get your feet back on the ground
If you fall down again
Call my name
I'll catch you once again
I'll be yours for the asking
Say the words
I'll be your friend
And I'll be listening I'll be listening well
Tell me anything
I'll understand
Refrain
(and again, again)
Don't ask me why
Don't ask me how
I'll find a way to be with you somehow
Hooh?
Refrain
brother
these shotguns are keeping me awake at night
- you know i'm praying then for you
brother
and everything they say is so black and white
- it is the way that they get you
you left me here, like a pearl inside its shell
brother
if anything, get me out of here
i am here for you
like you want me to
we'll make everything good
brother
tell me what it is that's going wrong with me
- i don't know right from wrong myself
i've got shotguns hanging in the air all around me
one is sticking right out of my
mouth and it's letting no one close to me
i feel lonely, like a pearl inside its shell
brother
help me out of here
remember...
birds and fishes around the pond we rested by
words and wishes secrets that we shared that night
trees and flowers faces in the pale moonlight
streets and towers places where we went at night
your cold smile's retired
there's one much brighter
i just can't compete
you laugh to loud when you say
throw caution away
it changes everything
my friend it could be anything
a different name changes everything
but what matters
what really does'nt matter
we're caught in this hit and run
it all becomes so vague
it's one step brighter
hanging out of the windows
in the corridors
should your reflection fail
there's visions for sale
pretend they're anything
my friend they could be anything
I woke up
to diseases
I shut out
tv screens and
then I cut
away sneezing
then I cut
I am a knight
I am a color oh
I am a light
I am your brother oh
I sat still
with a syrup
I feel ill
it'll clear up
take my pill
you don't fear us
take my pill
with this syrup
I am a knight
I am a color oh
I am a light
I am your brother oh
Swing
Swing
Swing
I climbed hills of chimneys tall like butter
tall like caverns in my teeth
and when I came to I did shutter
We were trying to believe
And when the day has ended
And when our hearts unfold
We'll glow like the night sky oh
Sleep now under my skin
Make sure you'll try to
Conjure the wind
And ease my mind
Somebody call out to your brother
He's calling out your name
Ooh ooh ooh
Hiding under the covers
With no one else to blame
Ooh ooh ooh
You couldn't help out your own neighbor
You couldn't tell it to his face
You were f*cked up by the blame
You cower in the corner
Confide in your father
Let it out and say
Let it pass away
Sleep now under my skin
Make sure you try to
Conjure the wind
And ease my mind
And I said
Ooh ooh ooh...
Somebody call out to your brother
He's calling out your name
Ooh ooh ooh
Hiding under the covers
With no one else to blame
Ooh ooh ooh
You couldn't help out your own neighbor
You couldn't tell it to his face
You were f*cked up by the blame
You cower in the corner
Confide in your father
Let it out and say
You cower in the corner
Confide in your father
Let it break your day
Let it out and say
Wait there
Pull yourself out of this state dear
Acknowledge you were a fake here
From there on you might just grow
Oh oh oh
Somebody call out to your brother
He's calling out your name
Ooh ooh ooh
Hiding under the covers
With no one else to blame
Ooh ooh ooh
Oh, you couldn't help out your own neighbor
You couldn't tell it to his face
You never sleep to take rest
You never speak your mind to impress
Only fools brush him
And your smile burns brighter than the rest
And you smile at me as I brush your breast
Tired but sweet
Watch them fall at your feet
Always in my line of sight
Never hold on too tight
You just keep on coming
At your feet they are falling
And you just keep on coming
At your feet they are falling
Somewhere over the earth
A song, a song
Somewhere I have heard
My brother is gone
Away, under the moon
Brother, brother
Away, gone so soon
Still singing his tune
Still singing his tune
And away he gone day
And away he gone night
And away he gone dark
And away he gone light
Up and away he gone away
But in a way he gonna stay
Oh, brother of hearts
We'll be singing someday
Yeah, we'll be singing someday
Oh, we'll be singing someday
Oh, brother of hearts
We'll be singing someday
Undead audio
Yes, we'll be singing right now
Some say I am to blame
Brother, brother
Some days I fell the same
And feeling that shame
Away under the moon
Brother, brother
Away gone so soon
Still singing this tune
Still singing his tune
And away he gone day
And away he gone night
And away he gone dark
And away he gone light
Up and away he gone away
But in a way he gonna stay
Oh, brother of hearts
We'll be singing someday
Yeah, we'll be singing someday
Oh, singing someday
Oh, brother of hearts
We'll be singing someday
Undead audio
You will forgive your foes
Pardon all transgressions
Prepare for an ascension
Love your last
And in an attempt to save yourself from what is at hand
Sitting in my truck
In the lot of restraint
I think I like the picture
But I do not like the paint
Every man seems rich in wealth or wealth in mind
I guess my window's comin'
This is just my space in time
I do not have misfortune
What I made, I made my own
I just want redemption for the things that I owe
I do not have misfortune
What I made, I made my own
I just want redemption for the things that I owe
It's hard to hear you brother
Sometimes I can't relate
And even when were happy
It feels that I'm too late
The Colors do not match
Perspective is all wrong
The frame is just plain ugly
And I feel like movin' on
There is so much hate, pourin' from your eyes
Can you find the strength to forgive for those times?
So here I am your blood, and blood I will remain
I will stand beside even though were not the same
So here I am your blood, and blood I will remain
I will always stand beside you even though were not the same
It's hard to hear you brother
Sometimes I can't relate
And even when were happy
It feels that I'm too late
It's hard to hear you brother
When you sing your broken songs
I'm stuck and feeling helpless
And its been way too long
(Solo)
There is so much hate, pourin' from your eyes
Can you find the strength to forgive for those times?
So here I am your blood, and blood I will remain
I will stand beside even though were not the same
So here I am your blood, and blood I will remain
I will always stand beside you even though were not the same
It's hard to hear you brother
Sometimes I can't relate
And even when were happy
It feels that I'm too late
It's hard to hear you brother
When you sing your broken songs
I'm stuck and feeling helpless
Phone ring 2 timesYeah mahn here's your song
Oh so she got you and your turned around again
She got you oh yes your thinking it's the end
Oh now she got you and she with another man
She got you struck down by your woman's hand
Bridge
She's fighting this war
And the enemy has gone
She's fighting this war
She's already won
(oh whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa oh won)
Chorus
Thinking about the times when you left her high
You've been thinking about the times when you left her dry ya know
Now she's saying goodbye
You're thinking about the times when you done her wrong brother
Think about the strings that she's pulling on
And the good times only last so long
She's appearing in those places where she don't belong
Oh now Brother move on
Oh now she got you and you're joining in the trend
She got you thinking that you can just be friends
And now you're broken pieces on the ground she's walking on you
And she's not even looking down
Bridge
She's fighting this war
Oh yes and the enemy has gone (oh long gone)
She's fighting this war
She's already won
(oh whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa oh won)
Chorus
Thinking about the times when you left her high
You've been thinking about the times when you left her dry ya know
Now she's saying goodbye
You're thinking about the times when you done her wrong brother
Think about the strings that she's pulling on
And the good times only last so long
She's appearing in those places where she don't belong
Oh now Brother move on
(Repeat Chorus)
She don't understand you
Her birth made of grain
She can now see the sun
And everyone said, yeah
You're better off dead but
She didn't know we were alone
And when it all looks brighter
Just turn around and smile
When it's looking better
Just leave it all to time
Just leave it all to time
She said don't you know, yeah
There's people in places
And places is what made her see
And everyone said yeah
She's better off dead but
She looked like she wanted to live
And when it all looks brighter
Just turn around and smile
When it's looking better
Just leave it all to time
Just leave it all to time
When it all looks brighter
Just turn around and smile
And when it's looking better
Just leave it all to time
Just leave it all to time
I'm paying a heavy debt
Tell me what is the most fertile sin
The one that despite all could keep me still alive
The one that could shake my improductive torpor
Give me a tough and humiliating discipline that can shake my nerves,
That can break my bones.
Make a severe move that could make my useless existance tremble.
Leave those like me at the end of this road.
Leave those like me on the edge of this blade.
Elegant men like you have created a great road to march on
And a father like you inflicted it on a son without values
Make it weigh strongly on my pale body
Force me to feel the cruel crime of remorse
And the obsessive nausea of ideals
Faith will not save me from myself
Nor will your words make me a saint
Leave those like me at the end of this road.
God I need love Time off for my tender fall and now
Gotta save a friend soul You'll fix the broken me bro'
God I need love Time off for my tender fall And now
Gotta save a friend soul You'll fix the broken me bro'
Can't you see this? I'm a man without tomorrow
She's just a ghost But I cannot stop myself from loving her
Can you save me? I'm a man stuck here forever
God I need love Time off for my tender fall and now
Gotta save a friend soul You'll fix the broken me bro'
and now you'll broken me
broken me, bro, bro
Can't you see this? I'm a man without tomorrow
She's just a ghost But I cannot stop myself from loving her
Can you save me? I'm a man stuck here forever
She's just a ghost But I cannot stop myself from loving her
Can you save me?
Can you save me?
Can you save me brother?
Can you save me?
Brother, I'm in need of a friend
for I am drowning in disarray
And brother, it is on you I depend
to pull me out of this misery
Like a hero I've always seen you
even though I would never say
And through the years
the laughter and the tears
it's you who were strong
in the right and the wrong
a tribute to the world that
blood is thicker than water
I'm tryin' to say that I love you
I'm tryin to say that I need you,
Brother
And father, I'm in need of your hand
so I can face the world bravely
and father, do you understand
what it is you mean to me
Like a warrior you always conquered
every battle you had to face
And through the hard times
when life was a bitter fight
it's you who would give
so unselfish you lived
A tribute to the world that blood
Is thicker than water
I'm tryin' to say that I love you
I'm tryin' to say that I miss you
She don't understand you
Her birth made of grain
She can now see the sun
And everyone said, yeah
You're better off dead but
She didn't know we were alone
And when it all looks brighter
Just turn around and smile
When it's looking better
Just leave it all to time
Just leave it all to time
She said don't you know, yea
There's people in places
And places is what made her see
And everyone said yeah
She's better off dead but
She looked like she wanted to live
And when it all looks brighter
Just turn around and smile
When it's looking better
Just leave it all to time
Just leave it all to time
When it all looks brighter
Just turn around and smile
And when it's looking better
Just leave it all to time
Just leave it all to time
When it all looks brighter
Just turn around and smile
And when it's looking better
Just leave it all to time
Just leave it all to time
On top of all the mountains,
and with the summer snow,
i'm lookin' down on all the folks below.
Six billion little freckles,
with freckles of their own,
it's colder here than I have ever known.
Between the lakes and highways,
the grass and field scene,
looks more essential than i've ever seen.
Scattered homes and patterns,
a quilt of carpentry,
one square down there with care was built by me.
I'll make it through,
the moments without you,
i've chosen exile for the view,
and I won't come down 'til Sunday,
I won't come down 'til Sunday,
I won't come down 'til Sunday,
I won't come down 'til Sunday,
hey.
Inside the vacant cabin,
the fire will not start,
i'll have a glass of wine to warm my heart.
Outside the northwest window,
a flock of birds goes by,
I wonder how they stay so side by side.
I'll make it through,
the moments without you,
i've chosen exile for the view,
and I won't come down 'til Sunday,
I won't come down 'til Sunday,
I won't come down 'til Sunday,
I won't come down 'til Sunday.
But on my way down,
i'm gonna paint all the towns,
and if I miss a few spots,
i'll simply turn back around.
On my way down,
i'm gonna crank up the sound,
i'm gonna party like the devil,
until I reach sea level.
I'll make it through,
and I won't come down 'til Sunday,
I won't come down 'til Sunday,
I won't come down 'til Sunday,
Brother there are many things I wish I could say to you
like I know that your heart has sunk like a stone to the
bottom of a lake and has been left there to shudder.
Oh.... Oh..... Oh..... Things may never be the same. We
may never laugh again. And life may never make sense for
you, but don't worry to hard it doesn't make much sense
Sat on this tree trunk
Listen to him play
He slides his fingers on the strings of his guitar
He plays what he is
Melody's n'tunes pour out of him
He stopped playing music we can hear
Feel the reflexion of his life, his ways, of a thousand
stars
Listen
Don't cry
Come with me
I'm with u
He plays what he is
Melody's n'tunes pour out of him
He plays what he is
What surrounds him remains a mystery
Sat on this tree trunk
Listen to him play
He slides his fingers on the strings of his guitar
He plays what he is
Melody's n'tunes pour out of him
He plays what he is
What surrounds him remains a mystery
Listen
Don't cry
Come with me
I'm with u
When he closes his eyes
When he closes his eyes
When he closes his eyes
The desire to follow him submerges us
Everything he does
Makes him what he is
Everything he does
Makes him what he is
Everything he does
Makes him what he is
Everything he does
Makes him what he is
Everything he does
Ce soir je pars
Ce soir c'est le grand départ
J'aurais pu te dire au revoir
Quand tu m'as porté mon dîner
Mais rien, j'ai tout gardé en moi
Et ce soir dans la gare, je pars
Prendre un avion prendre le train
Prendre un bateau ou bien ta main
Mais partir
Ce soir j'ai décidé d'partir
De quitter ma maison mes souvenirs
Pour ailleurs
Et je vois courir en toi
Les petites maudites minces
Minces monères... ce n'est rien.
Cet escargot qui court au loin
Me dit sûrement que je vais bien
Je pars
Et je regarde dehors
Les vaches qui dansent avec le sable
Les fleurs qui mangent des cartables
Je vais bien, je vais bien
Cette fleur cette marguerite
Que tu regardes avec tes yeux
Tes yeux bleus bleus
Bleus comme le feu de dieu
Ah! Et ces poupées laides
Qui passent dans ma mémoire
En me bouffant la moelle
De mes tartes aux pommes
Un chien galope sur la montagne
Et regarde avec attention
Son maître qui l'aime
Je vais manger par terre tiens!
Manger tout, les vers de terre
Et tes regrets
Prendre un avion prendre le train
Prendre ta main ou bien un bain
Mais partir
Ce cheval avec ses gros ongles mous
C'est moi qui l'ai fait
Je pars
Sur ce chemin de rendez vous
Sur ces chemins des petits coups
Où je riais encore enfant
Avec des billes dans la main
Et puis je regardais par terre
Ces limaces couvertes de terre
Qui me disaient
"Je suis à toi, mon roi"
Elle a dû en faire du chemin
Cette limace de mon enfance
Elle a dû partir bien plus loin que moi
Sûrement je pense
Je monte sur ce cheval de joie et je galope sur ton hernie
Avec des poils ...d'oiseaux
Qui volent
Prendre un avion prendre le train
Prendre ta main ou bien un pain
Mais partir
Je laisse là ce p'tit journal
Où on me parle de n'importe quoi
D'une chouette ou d'un cheval
Qui rient ensemble
De Gogol ou de Marx Brothers
Je pars
Je pars
Je vais partir...
.à la renverse
How long have I known you, brother
Hundreds of lives, thousands of years
How many miles have we wandered
Under the sky, chasing our fear
Some kind of trouble is coming
Don't know when, don't know what
I will stand by you, brother
'Til the daylight comes or I'm dead and gone
I've shared my life with you, brother
Since I recall, you've been my friend
You say we're not like the others
Still we must die, all things must end
I know we can't stop what's coming
But I will try, oh how I'll try!
Will you fight with me, brother
One last time, one last fight
Don't turn away, don't tell me that we're not the same
We face the fire together, brothers 'til the end
Don't run away, our time will come but not today
I stand beside you, brother, with you 'til the end
My bloodpump is aging
It's cluttered and weak
All systems are failing baby
I think there might be a leak
You just need a friend Kris
Fuck You!
That special someone
I said Fuck You!
You just need a friend Kris
Argh, Piss off!
All you need is LOVE!
If I ever wanted a brother
I'd kill my dad and fuck my mother!
The cold blood in my veins
Is slowing me down
I just need some kind of restart
Before I drown
You just need a friend Kris
Oh Fuck You!
That special someone
Why don't you piss off?
You just need a friend Kris
Fuck You!
All you need is LOVE!
If I ever wanted a brother
I'd kill my dad and fuck my mother!
If I ever wanted a brother
I'd kill my dad and fuck my mother!
If I ever wanted a brother
I'd kill my dad and fuck my mother!
If I ever wanted a brother
I'd kill my dad and fuck my mother!
I'll fuck my mother
Goddamn I'll fuck her!
I'll fuck her so good!
waking up
breaking down
hold that thought
i'm not through yet
waking up
breaking down
me and my brother
never meant no harm
me and my brother
let time fall through our open arms
let me go through your silent wall
free fall and begin again
waking up
this life never ends
me and my brother never meant no harm
Call me up in the dead of an eye
Barely make your voice on the line
The fresh taste of the mistakes
Pray these words come out right
Brother won't come back home
Tired of when you did show
And you still so young to feel this soul
The silence broke with me holding hope
In the palm of my hand like a distant ghost
Tired and bored of keeping the score
Who's wrong, who's right, don't care no more
Brother will come back home
Tired, of when it show
You still show young to feel this road
The time's not wasted, yeah
Brother won't come back home
Tired of when you show
You still so young to feel this soul
The time's not wasted, yeah, wasted, wasted
Lying in the dirt can't leave it behind you
Everything you were you
But I can still see laugh deep inside
Time to break free, love you cannot undue
Cannot undue, cannot undue
Brother will come back home
Tired of when it show
You still show young to feel this road
The time's not wasted, yeah
Brother won't come back home
Tired of when you show
You still so young to feel this soul
