En av mina (red house painters - have you forgotten)
I can't let you be
Cause your beauty won't allow me
Wrapped in white sheets
Like an angel from a bedtime story
Shut out what they say
Cause your friends are fucked up anyway
When they come around
Somehow they feel up and you feel down

When we were kids
We hated things our parents did
We listened low
To Casey Kasem's radio show
That's when friends were nice
To think of them just makes you feel nice
The smell of grass in spring
In October leaves covered everything

Have you forgotten how to love yourself

I can't believe
All the good things that you did for me
Sat back in a chair
Like a princess from a faraway place
Nobody's nice
When you're older your heart turns to ice
And shut out what they say
They're too dumb to mean it anyway

When we were kids
We hated things our sisters did
Backyard summer pools
And Christmas trees were beautiful
And the sentiment of color mirrored ornaments
And the open drapes
Look out on frozen farmhouse landscapes

Have you forgotten how to love yourself
Have you forgotten how to love yourself

Gillar billy talents texter, om vi skall prata engelska.

På svenska vill jag ha texterna lika pang bom på som musiken. Uggla, Eddie Meduza, Liza Ekdahl. Vi kan väl ta en från var och en : Kung i Baren, Såssialdemokraterna och Vem vet.

Texten behöver inte pastas eftersom alla, som har åldern inne kan den i alla fall, om än motvilligt. Villet är styrkan hos en bra text.

Leonard Cohens texter gillar jag.

[Anne]

Jag har så många! Kan inte sortera bort. Men av de som nämnts håller jag med om alla utom Meduza. "kvinnor är som madrasser med hål i" eller något liknande sjöng han. Jag sålde min Cohen-autograf. Tyckte det var hög tid att ge den ett nytt hem Tomatodlaren och musikern som köpte den blev väldigt glad. Men jag kan ju nämna den låt jag senast postade i musiktråden.
The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
So on we go
His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there
For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another
It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there
Why not share
And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy he's my brother
He's my brother
He ain't heavy, he's my brother, he ain't heavy

Har alltid varit lite svag för den här versen. Nån som klarar utan googling?

Now the reason we're here
As man and woman
Is to love each other
Take care of each other
When love walks in the room
Everybody stand up
Oh it's good, good, good
Like brigitte bardot

Både innehållet och att det passar som en handske med kompet.
