Narrative
Spitting out the demons – Coming in the good times – c’mon, it won’t hurt – good times
[Gorillaz]
Money – Get away – You get a good job with good pay and you’re okay
Money – It’s a gas – Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four star daydream – Think I’ll buy me a football team
Money – It’s a crime – Share it fairly – But don’t take a slice of my pie
Money – So they say – Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a raise – It’s no surprise that they’re giving none away
[Pink Floyd]
Kiss me on the eyelids, make bad things go away – Kiss me on my forehead, make everything OK
Hold my face real steady, I don’t want you to miss – Because The remedy for all my pains is just one kiss
[Basement Jaxx]
All these accidents – That happen – Follow the dot – Coincidence – Makes sense – Only with you
You don’t have to speak – I feel – Emotional landscapes – They puzzle me – Then the riddle gets solved
And you push me up to this – State of emergency – How beautiful to be
State of emergency – Is where I want to be – All that no-one sees – You see – What’s inside of me
Every nerve that hurts – You heal – Deep inside of me – You don’t have to speak – I feel
[Björk]
But it was Just my imagination, once again running away with me. – It was just my imagination running away with me.
I tell you I can visualise it all – this couldn’t be a dream for too real it all seems
[Donald Byrd]
There were promises of paradise – But if they had been told that day
That they would be sold this way – To satisfy the souls of chosen men
If I was taken for a day and shown another way – Now every child can learn a different thing
See I tried a million times but I had to change my mind – Sadness was the best thing I can bring
[Jamiroquai]
All you have to do is touch my hand – To show me you understand – And something happens to me – That’s some kind of wonderful
Any time my little world seems blue – I just have to look at you – And everything seems to be – Some kind of wonderful
I know I can’t express – This feeling of tenderness – There’s so much I wanna say – But the right words just don’t come my way
I just know when I’m in your embrace – This world is a happy place – And something happens to me
There’s some kind of wonderful
[The Drifters]
I want to be lazy – I want to be out in the sun – With no work to be done
Under that awning – They call the sky – Stretching and yawning – And let the world go drifting by
I want to peep – Through the deep – Tangled wildwood – Counting sheep – until I sleep – Like a child would
With a great big valise full – Of books to read where it’s peaceful – While I’m – Killing time – Being lazy
Life is short – And getting shorter with each day that goes by – And how the time does fly
Before you know, it’s over – That’s why I’m – In such a hurry to pack my things and fly – To a spot
Where it’s nice and hot – And hear the birdies sing – While I’m being
[Ella Fitzgerald]
On the moor, by the pond – Where the mist is blue – In the cold evening – A star shines at the bottom of the pond
I have my dreams, I have the nigh – And the smell of blooming flowers – I have the birdsong, The clouds sliding over the waters
And I come to lie down by the pond – Where the mist is blue – Alone, I dream in the cold evening
[Blossom Dearie]
