in the deathcar




a howling wind is whistling in the night
my dog is growling in the dark
something' s pulling me outside
to go around in circles

I know you have got the time
'cause anything I want, you do
you'll take a ride through the strangers
who don't understand, how to feel

in the deathcar 
we're alive 

I'll let some air come in the window
it kind of wakes me up, a little
I don't turn on the radio 
cause they play shit, like, you know

when your hand was down on my dick
it felt quite amazing
and now that that is all over 
all we've got is the silence 

in the deathcar
we're alive 

now come mandolins, play

when I touched you I felt that
you still had your baby fat
and a little taste of a baby's breath
makes me forget about death

at your age, you're still jokin'
it ain't time yet for the chokin' 
so now, we can own the movie
and know each other truly 

in the deathcar
we're alive 

I wanna hear some mandolins

Crazy



I remember when 
I remember
I remember when I lost my mind
there was something so pleasant about that place 
even your emotions have an echo in so much space 
and when you're out there 
without care yeah
I was out of touch
but it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much 

does that make me crazy?
possibly 

and I hope that you're having 
the time of your life
but think twice
that's my only advice 
come on now who do you
who do you think you are 
ha ha ha bless your soul
you really think you're in control 

well i think you're crazy
just like me 

my heroes had the heart 
to lose their lives out on the limb
and all I remember is thinkin' 
I wanna be like them
ever since I was little
it looked like fun 
and it's no coincidence I've come
and I can die when I'm done 

but maybe I'm crazy
probably

Ain't no man alive can handle me



I done fed them 
loved them 
wash their clothes
kissed their lips
 wiped their nose
you taste the sugar 
you lose your teeth
ain't no man alive can handle me

they say 
I'm too much woman 
for one small bed
too much thinking 
in this big ol' head
too much meat 
for their pride to see
ain't no man alive can handle me 

they want a snack not a meal baby

ain't no man alive can handle me 
I'm fire-dressed in melody
I shine too bright
 I cut too deep
they talk that love 
but they don't keep

I ain't no doll 
for some fool to own 
I worked this land 
till it turned my own 
I gave my heart 
till my knees went weak
they loved my laugh 
but not my grief

now baby 
they want the meal 
not the woman that cooked it

they like it thin 
they like it sweet
but I serve heat 
beneath the sheet
you taste this sugar 
you'll fall to your knee
ain't no man alive can handle me

I shake the walls
I break the beat
they start to pray 
when I turn up the heat
ain't no man alive can handle me 

maybe one day 
some man 
will prove me wrong
but I ain't waiting

blindfold



three months in him 
can't catch the tears
time never lands
our love is all that stands 
now

streets feel strange
and longer lovers will never change

I'm so glad to have you
and it's getting worse
I'm so mad to love you 
and your evil curse

I feel out of place
just look at my face
stuck in the mud
knee-deep in blood girl
eyes blindfold
you never said I'm growing old

my heart is still reliant
my heart is very light 

tell them I've gone
and nothing's wrong
in from the past
a sudden blast bang
spring has gone
and summer keeps comin' on

I'm so glad to have you 
and I'm getting worse
I'm so mad to love you
and your evil curse

I've a plan to save you from my misery
I'm a man too brave to follow history

άσπρα μαύρα σκαλοπάτια


όλα σου τα λάθη τα καψε η φωτιά
τα διωξε ο αγέρας μακριά
ευτυχώς που είχα σίδερο καρδιά
και δεν σε θυμάμαι άλλο πια

άσπρα μαύρα σκαλοπάτια της καρδιάς μου τα αισθήματα
άσπρα μαύρα σκαλοπάτια καρβουνάκια στην φωτιά
άσπρα μαύρα σκαλοπάτια της καρδιάς μου τα ραγίσματα
άσπρα μαύρα σκαλοπάτια δεν με βγάζουν πουθενά

κάθε σου κουβέντα πόνος και καρφί
έγινε η αγάπη εφιαλτική
ευτυχώς που είχα απόθεμα καρδιά
βρήκα το κουράγιο κι έφυγα κρυφά

του κόσμου οι λαοί



έχει αίμα το adidas το καινούριο που φοράω
και το κινητό στην θήκη που στο χέρι μου κρατάω
έχει κόπο και ιδρώτα το πουκάμισο το armani
και κουβάλημα οι σπόροι στου καφέ μου το χαρμάνι 
έχει πόνο και φοβέρες κάθε κουταλιά nutella
και το δέρμα που χρειάστηκε στης μπάλας μου την γκέλα 
έχει δάκρυα ο κάθε κόμπος που έχω στο χαλί μου
και το jokey που με μαγκιά φοράει η κεφαλή μου 

γιατί όλα όσα είπα της ζωής μου προιόντα
μου τ αφήσαν οι δικοί μου ή τ'αγόρασα από σπόντα
τα δουλέψανε παιδιά που'ναι γεννημένα δούλοι 
μεροφάι μεροδούλι κι εμείς παίζουμε κρυφτούλι 
Τυνήσια και Σουδάν, Μαλαισία, Πακιστάν 
και δεκάδες χώρες που τα πιτσιρίκια δεν θα φαν 
για να έχω εγώ μπουφάν με υπογραφή της nike
μήπως δώσει ο θεός και μου κάνουν κανα like

όταν έβγαινα να παίξω στην αλάνα με την μπάλα 
κάποιες οικογένειες δεν είχαν να πάρουν γάλα
όταν άφηνα χαρταετό στον ουρανό ν'ανέβει
κάποιοι αφήναν το παιδί τους μοναχό να ζητιανεύει
όταν μου'λεγε η γιαγιά μου κάθε βράδυ παραμύθια 
σκότωναν αθώες ψυχές άλλωστε έτσι από συνήθεια
όταν μου έφερνε η νονά μου την λαμπάδα και παιχνίδια
συνομήλικοί μου ψάχναν την τροφή τους στα σκουπίιδια
όταν έβλεπα μικρός τον Χοντρό και τον Λιγνό
βάζαν σκλάβους να δουλεύουν στα ορυχεία του Κονγκό
όταν οι γονείς μου μ'είχαν όλο αγκαλιές και χάδια
χαρτομάντηλα πουλούσαν και λουλούδια στα φανάρια
ό,τι φόρεσα έως τώρα nike, puma και sportex
τα έχουν φτιάξει δια της βίας στην Ινδία, το Μπανγκλαντές
όσα λόγια και να πω όσους στίχους και να γράψω 
στράφι θα πάνε αν τον κόσμο δεν αλλάξω

σ'αυτήν την μηχανή του κόσμου οι λαοί 
αντί για λάδι καίνε ανθρώπου αίμα
μ'αλλάζουν οι καιροί και θα'ρθει η στιγμή
κι ο δούλος θα'ναι αυτός που βάζει στέμμα

όταν έπαιζα μικρός με το πρώτο το nintendo
στην Ινδία οι ανήλικοι κουβάλαγαν τσιμέντο 
όταν έφτιαχνα το δέντρο με φωτάκια και στολίδια
τα παιδιά στην Βραζιλία ψάχναν μέσα στα σκουπίδια
όταν έκανα ποδήλατο στο δρόμο τ'απογεύματα
συνομήλικους στην Κίνα τους πουλούσαν για μοσχεύματα
κοκκίνιζα σαν κοίταζα της τάξης τα κορίτσια
ενώ στην Ινδονησία τα πουλούσανε για βίτσια
όταν έβλεπα τον Αλαντίν στην Disney με το τζίνι
τα αδέρφια μου γαζώνανε κάτω στην Παλαιστίνη
μα σ'ευχαριστώ θεέ που έχω κι εναν ο.η.ε.
και να ενδιαφερθώ γι αυτά δεν χρειάστηκε ποτέ
να είναι καλά το νατο και οι ηνωμένες πολιτείες
της θρησκείας το αδελφάτο κι όλες οι παιδεραστίες
μα όμως πάνω απ'όλα τ'άλλα στου μεγάλου μας την σάλα
δεν θα είχες την κουτάλα αν δεν ήσουν καπιτάλα

και το σύστημα ρολόι που ρυθμίστηκε να τρώει 
την εργατική την τάξη που όλα αυτή τα'χει παράξει 
μα άντε να το καταλάβει και μετά ποιός θα προλάβει 
απ'το κυμα να γλιτώσει και πανί ν'ανασηκώσει 

στο σχολείο ως αριστούχος να κρατάω την σημαία
ήμουν άπο άλλη χώρα και δεν μ'έκανες παρέα
μ´έχεις σκοτώσει το Ιρακ, στο Βιετνάμ, στην Παλαιστίνη
εγώ αγέννητο μωρό και δεν είχα καν ευθύνη 
μου είχες βγάλει τα όργανα μου μπας κ πάρεις τα λεφτά σου
για να ζήσουν παραπάνω λίγο τα αφεντικά σου 
μ'είχες σκλάβο στο παζάρι και με πούλαγες φαντάσου 
θα γυρίσει ο τροχός και θα έρθει κι η σειρά σου 

μέσα σ'αυτή την μηχανή αν ενωθούμε όλοι μαζί 
και χαράξουμε αντίθετη πορεία στο γρανάζι 
ένα θα γίνω εγώ κι εσύ και θα'ρθει εκείνη η στιγμή
όπου αλλάζουν οι καιροί και σίγουρα θα τους πειράζει 
αρκεί σ αυτή την μηχανή όλου του κόσμου οι λαοί
αν σταματήσουμε για πάρτη του άλλο να χύνουμε αίμα
και θα έρθει η στιγμή που η φωνή μας θ'ακουστεί
κι ο δούλος μόνος νικητής στην κεφαλή θα βάζει στέμμα

baby can I hold you


sorry
is all that you can't say 
years gone by and still
words don't come easily
like sorry, like sorry

forgive me 
is all that you can't say
years gone by and still
words don't come easily
like forgive me, forgive me

but you can say baby 
baby can I hold you tonight
maybe if I told you the right words
at the right time, you'd be mine

I love you 
is all that you can't say 
years gone by and still
words don't come easily 
like I love you, I love you 

I'll stand by you


oh, why you look so sad?
tears are in your eyes
come on and come to me now

don't be ashamed to cry
let me see you through
'cause I've seen the dark side too

when the night falls on you 
you don't know what to do 
nothing you confess
could make me love you less

I'll stand by you
won't let nobody hurt you 
I'll stand by you 

so, if you're mad get mad
don't hold it all inside
come on and talk to me now

and hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too
well I'm a lot like you 

when you're standing at the crossroads
and don't know which path to choose
let me come along 
'cause even if you're wrong

I'll stand by you
won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you 
take me in into your darkest hour
and I'll never desert you 
I'll stand by you

and when the night falls on you baby 
you're feeling all alone
you won't be on your own

everybody supports women



everybody supports women
until a woman's doing better than you
everybody wants you to love yourself
until you actually do

it was something about her hair 
so perfectly fallen 
she was nice and smart and funny 
and got everything she wanted 

and she does charity 
isn't that the most obnoxious thing you've heard
her popularity
she's too pretty for her own good

she's probably self-centered, we hate her and she's nothing
if everybody leaves her, then she had it coming 

is there anything 
you'd like to put on the record
you know
while everyone's listening

I would like it to be known that I'm not like her 
I'm mocking her 'cause I'm not like her
I'm not like those girls who are not like those girls
I love doing makeup, I don't mock women like her 
I'm not like her 

as soon as she hits it 
I'm kicking her out
she's had enough of the love
and I'm bringing her down
everyone together 
on the count of three
one, two, you're mundane 
we agree

your ambition is swallowable
if you tell the story right 
say that you hate yourself 
and self criticize 
but if we smell desperation 
on your neck and face
we'll drag you across
your own public stage 

we burn her name in the back 
anything with her name attached
her newspaper's in the trash 
I just keep thinking man 

what a waste 
what a shame 
I was starting to like her 
but now she got great 
we'd never hate her to her face
but I hope she knows
she knows, she knows, she knows 

I don't like your tone 
I don't like how much you've grown 
it's so boring to not be yanking 
muscle off of a woman's bone
everybody hates the-
everyone hates the unrelatable
and I love to place two of 'em
in the arena of the public's eye 
and try and get'em to fight 
about something dumb and we pick sides
'cause staring at her too long 
made our life look like muted pastels
we'll love you  
if you just make us feel better about ourselves

lose cotrol



something's got a hold of me lately 
no, I don't know myself anymore
feels like the walls are all closing in 
and the devil's knocking at my door

                                 out of my mind
how many times 
did I tell you 
I'm no good at being alone ?
It's taking a toll on me
trying my best to keep from
tearing the skin off my bones
don't you know

I lose control 
when you're not next to me 
I'm falling apart 
right in front of you 
can't you see?
I lose control
when you're not next to me yeah 
you're breaking my heart, baby
you make a mess of me

problematic
problem is 
I want your body
like a fiend
like a bad habit
bad habit's hard to break
when I'm with you yeah
I know I could do it on my own 
but I want that real full moon black magic
and it takes two

problematic
problem is
 when I'm with you I'm an addict
and I need some relief
my skin in your teeth
can't see the forest through the trees
got me down on my knees
darling please

I lose control
when you're not here with me yeah
I'm falling apart right in front of you 
can't you see?
I lose control
when you're not here with me yeah
you're breaking my heart baby
you make a mess of me

forever now



they say time will tell 
but I think he likes to keep secrets
so we'll wait and see
but it's just as well
the years can be counted in seconds
that's fine with me

'cause I get this moment with you 
forever now
it all hits me at once
forever now
if there's a right way to say it 
I'm still learning how
maybe all that we have is a
forever now

been looking for words
for feelings that shouldn't get spoken
it's something I do
I'm starting to learn 
some silences shouldn't be broken
just listened to

think

 

you better think
think about what you're doing
to me 
think 
let your mind go 
let yourself be free

let's go back
let's go way on, way back when 
I didn't even know you 
you couldn't have been too much more
than ten 
I ain't no psychiatrist
I ain't no doctor with degrees
but it don't take too much high IQ's
to see what 
you're doing to me

you better think
think about what you're trying
to do to me 
yeah, think
let your mind go 
let yourself be free

oh, freedom, freedom
oh, freedom, yeah freedom
freedom, oh, oh, freedom 
freedom, oh, freedom

hey, think about it 

there ain't nothing 
you could ask
i could answer you but I won't
but I was gonna change
but I'm not
if you keep doing things
I don't

you better think 
think about what you're trying
to do to me, ooh
think 
let your mind go 
let yourself be free

you need me
and I need you 
without each other there ain't nothing
people can do, oh

oh, hey, think about it
baby
yeah, oh, baby
think about it now, yeah
think about forgiveness
think about it, baby 
baby
think about forgiveness
think about forgiveness
think about forgiveness

With arms outstreched



it's sixteen miles
to the promised land 
and I promise you 
I'm doing the best I can

now don't fool yourself
in thinking you're more than a man
cause you'll probably 
end up dead 

I visit these
mountains with frequency 
and I stand here 
with my arms up

now some days
 they last longer than others
but this day by the lake
went too fast

and if you want me 
you better speak up, I won't wait
so you better
move fast

don't fool yourself
in thinking you're more than you are
with your arms outstreched
to me

μια ζωή μέσα στους δρόμους



 τον δρόμο που μου δείχνεις να βαδίσω
τον γνώρισα από μικρός 
ζητάω τώρα κάπου ν'ακουμπήσω
ν'αφήσω την παλιά ζωή 

μια ζωή μέσα στους δρόμους και στις νύχτες
μια ζωή με παρανόμους και ξενύχτες
μια ζωή τα ίδια λόγια να μου λένε 
έχω βαρεθεί τον κόσμο κι όλα μου φταίνε

τον κόσμο που μου δείχνεις να γνωρίσω
τον ξέρω φίλε πιο καλά 
τον έχω μάθει πριν σε συναντήσω 
απ' έξω κι ανακατωτά

feeling good

birds flying high 
you know how i feel
birds in the sky 
you know how i feel
breeze driftin' on by 
you know how i feel

it's a new dawn
it's a new day
it's a new life for me 
and i'm feeling good

fish in the sea 
you know how i feel 
river runnin' free
you know how i feel 
blossom on the tree
you know how i feel

dragonfly out in the sun 
what i mean, don't you know?
butterflies all havin' fun
you know what i mean
sheep in peace when day is done 
that's what i mean 

and this old world
is a new world
is a bold world 
for me 
 
stars when you shine
you know how i feel
scent of the pine 
you know how i feel
oh freedom is mine 
and i know how i feel

henry lee

 
 
get down, get down, little henry lee
and stay all night with me 
you won't find a girl 
in this damn world
that will compare to me 
 
and the wind did howl and the wind did blow
lalalalala lalalalalalee
a little bird lit down on henry lee 
 
i can't get down and i won't get down
and stay all night with thee
for the girl i have in that merry green land
i love far better than thee
 
and the wind did howl and the wind did blow
lalalalalala lalalalalalee
a little bird lit down on henry lee
 
she leaned herself against a fence
just for a kiss or two
and with a little pen-knife held in her hand
she plugged him through and through
 
and the wind did roar and the wind did moan
lalalalalala lalalalalalee
a little bird lit down on henry lee
 
come take him by his lilly-white hands
come take him by his feet
and throw him in this deep deep well
which is more than one hundred feet
 
and the wind did howl and the wind did blow
lalalalala lalalalalalee
a little bird lit down on henry lee
 
lie there, lie there, little henry lee
till the flesh drops from your bones
for the girl you have in that merry green land
can wait forever for you to come home 
 
and the wind did howl and the wind did moan
lalalalalala lalalalalalee
a little bird lit down on henrly lee
