Narrative
Our name and our reputation – Is a legend of this time and all time
They say that no one does it better – because we’re giving you the most, we blow your mind…
And the name of the game is show no shame and never have no fear
[Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five]
Love, electricity, shockwave central – Power on the motherboard – Push up, overload, legendary heavy glow
Sunshine, thunder roll, keep this on – the lantern burn, burn that easy – And broadcast, so raw and neatly
Thunder roll, sunshine, work it out – Overload, …
Go forth, blossom in your soul – When you know your heart is light – Electric is the love
When the mako flies up from the bottom in your eyes – Then I know the twilight skies are not so broken hearted
If its love is electric – It’ll be flowing on the streets – Night after night – Just to get through the week
Sometimes it’s hard – Right now – Sing yourself out of depression, rise above
Always searching if I know your heart – Electric is the love – There’s only one way – Let it pray a little while longer
It’s got a way of passing through man and woman – I In another world, in the universe
[Gorillaz]
I see you, you see me – Watch you blowing the lines when you’re making a scene
… you’ve got to know – What my head overlooks, the senses will show – To my heart, when it’s watching for lies
You can’t escape my – Private eyes – They’re watching you – They see your every move
You play with words, you play with love – You can twist it around that ain’t enough
Because I’m going to know – If you’re letting me in or letting me go – Don’t lie when you’re hurting inside
Cause you can’t escape my – Private eyes
Why you try to put up a front for me? – I’m a spy but on your side, you see
Slip on into any disguise – I’ll still know you, look into my – Private eyes
[Towa Tei]
Don’t want to listen – Don’t pretend to be deaf – I love the chaos – It loves my head – Bet you don’t want to know where I’ve been
Hard to take in that the battle’s been won – Want to be a misfit in a gentleman’s song – A bullet that explodes in the gun’s magazine
Listen through the dark – I’ll find out where you are – Listening through the dark – Watch you from a far
Do you hear that sound? – The sharpening knives – Maybe a lie – but I’m dead inside – The snake charmer man – He’s a beautiful friend
Hard to take in that the battle’s not done
[Erik Truffaz]
There are so many things that I don’t understand – There’s a world within me that I cannot explain
Many rooms to explore, but the doors look the same – I am lost, I can’t even remember my name
[Daft Punk]
Swimming the same deep water as you is hard – The shallow drowned lose less than we – The strangest twist upon your lips
And we shall be together
Kiss me goodbye bow your head and join with me – And face pushed deep, reflections meet – The strangest twist upon your lips
And disappear, the ripples clear – And laughing break against your feet – And laughing break the mirror sweet
So we shall be together
Kiss me goodbye – Pushing out before I sleep – It’s lower now, and slower now – The strangest twist upon your lips
But I don’t see, and I don’t feel – But tightly hold up silently – My hands before my fading eyes – And in my eyes your smile
The very last thing before I go – I will kiss you – And we shall be together
[The Cure]
There was a boy
A very strange, enchanted boy – They say he wandered very far – Very far, over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye – But very wise was he
And then one day – One magic day he passed my way – And while we spoke of many things – Fools and kings
This he said to me: – “The greatest thing you’ll ever learn – Is just to love and be loved in return”
[David Bowie]
