BY THE TIME YOU'RE 25 [sleater-kinney]
By the time you're 25,
buy a house, another job, another baby,
get a 4 wheel drive, forget your life
did you think, did you want to ride
well no, never no, pay the bills we have to survive
(I forget my heart can beat in ways besides 1, 2 repeat)
Can't believe the world you want from me
I am speechless at the life you chose for me
By the time your 25
another record another tour you must be rich
baby you're a star, forget your life
Could you leave, leave us all behind
Well now I'm not sorry that I beat you at your own stupid game
(I forget my mouth can form sounds thats soar beyond locked doors)
Can't believe the world you want from me
I am speechless at the life you chose for me
I want, I want, I want to get out, of this repetitious shell.

* porque acabei de entrar nos meus 25.

SPOKE [embrace]
life goes on
what's right or wrong i can't say
it seems so hopeless
and yet i stay
because it won't go away
this driving force
that makes me speak
and care and care
and try to rearrange
make sense of this mess
sometimes i laugh
sometimes i couldn't care less.

* retrato fiel de como eu me sinto agora. embrace é foda de lindo...

FALL ON PROVERB [unbroken] - devidamente corrigido pelo bá
my hands are open
can't you see them being burned
this faith is the deepest
you could ask for what's remembered
with the guilt wrapped around our necks
that's right i just stopped what i didn't start
i missed the chance that will never come
better to regret what i have done
i'd give anything just to forget
a smile so worthwile
but you can only rent it
my hands are open

* eu gosto de letras tortas de desesperadas. quando eu me sinto retorcida em desespero não consigo escrever tão claro...

pausa em HIGH HOPES.

:: how jedi are you? ::

SIMPLE SONG [avail]
going over in my head what seems like everything remembering commitments that nowadays just blend. i don't know where i'm going and i don't think that i care. i had my taste wound up misplaced bounced off those troubles clear. did i trip myself up again? did i see more than you did? decisions made without regard returning as regret. i knew they could but thought they would come crashing with success. they know nothing about me, and i really doubt they care. but that's alright cause by myself i do fine anywhere. it seems like i shouldn't have pushed it... hid myself and lost focus for a change. shouldn't have made myself commited. i got to know that one by now i'm better off without...

* em comemoração à vinda da banda caminhoneira mais querida da menina nessa...

BIZARRE LOVE TRIANGLE[new order]
Every time i think of you
I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue
It's no problem of mine but it's a problem I find
Living a life that I can't leave behind
There's no sense in telling me
The wisdom of a fool won't set you free
But that's the way that it goes
And it's what nobody knows
While every day my confusion grows
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You'll say the words that I can't say
I feel fine and I feel good
I'm feeling like I never should
Whenever I get this way, I just don't know what to say
Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday
I'm not sure what this could mean
I don't think you're what you seem
I do admit to myself
That if I hurt someone else
Then I'll never see just what we're meant to be
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You'll say the words that I can't say

* quando eu era mais que apaixonada pelo carlinhos essa música aparecia mais na minha frente.
"every time i see you falling i get down on my knees and pray..."

THINGS THAT MAKE NO SENSE [dag nasty]
how can i make this clear?
it seems so simple yet i could spend
my whole life saying things that make no sense
like life is so unfair yes and this is so unfair
but i didn't leave you behind
you're still ahead of me
if you doubt it let me remind you
i'm in love with you
at least it's clear to me i just need
to sip from the miraculous pitcher
that holds water downwards
and the next time you make pie
i'll be home for a slice
and spend my hours holding back
because nice guy's finish last
if you doubt it let me remind you
i'm in love with you
so take your hand and dry my eyes
and when i doubt you know how...remind me too
(the first time i ever saw you i was about four - - i was supposed to be sleeping -- instead i was.......)
i'm so much more in love with the way than in way with the love.

* "if you doubt it let me remind you i'm in love with you"... essa semana eu cantei esse refrão alguns milhões de vezes.

ATRÁS DA PORTA [chico buarque]
Quando olhaste bem nos olhos meus
e o teu olhar era de adeus
juro que não acreditei
eu te estranhei, me debrucei
sobre o teu corpo e duvidei
e me arrastei e te arranhei e me agarrei
nos teus cabelos, no teu peito, teu pijama, nos teus pés.
ao pé da cama,
sem carinho, sem coberta,
no tapete atrás da porta
reclamei baixinho...
dei pra maldizer o nosso lar
pra sujar teu nome, te humilhar
e me vingar a qualquer preço
te adorando pelo avesso
pra mostrar que ainda sou tua
até provar que ainda sou tua.

*é foda amar. a gente perde a noção do nosso próprio valor. afe... mas essa música é fodassa, né?

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH IT'S KILLING US BOTH [jawbreaker]
A week inside, I think I'm starting to show.
I told myself to keep myself in line.
Should we get married or just go on killing each other?
I don't think I hate you enough to commit you to me.
Happy all the time. It's all we ever do.
Steady in decline. It's all we ever do.
I'm sorry but it's true.
How can I save you when I couldn't save a dime.
I want to call you and tell you that I'm a fan.
All my friends know better but I can't quite hear them.
Still for the life of me I can't imagine our home.
Good things, that's all I want.
All I want for you.
Hold me. Set me free.
It's all I want from you.
It's sad and it's so true.
If you can't be the life of the party,
You'll be the death of everyone.
All I want is a life without parties.
Want you as one.
Watch this pot and it is sure to boil.
Sometimes I catch myself thinking,
"Boy, or girl?"
Kiss me on the teeth. It's all that we can do.
Punch me. Wake me up.
This lullaby is blue.
Lie and say we're through.

* diz a lenda que em gravações de 94 o refrãozinho "If you can't be the life of the party. You'll be the death of everyone. All I want is a life without parties. Want you as one." era "We're so close, it's scaring me. We're so tight, we're enemies. We're so wrong, it's scandalous. We're so fucked, just hold me."

YOU WERE MEANT FOR ME [jewel]
I hear the clock, it's six a.m.
I feel so far from where I've been
Got my eggs and my pancakes too
Got my maple syrup, everything but you.
Break the yolks, make a smiley face
I kinda like it in my brand new place
I wipe the spots off the mirror
Don't leave the keys in the door
Never put wet towels on the floor anymore' cause
Dreams last so long
even after you're gone
I know you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you.
Called my momma, she was out for a walk
Consoled a cup of coffee but it didn't wanna talk
Picked up a paper, it was more bad news
More hearts being broken or people being used
Put on my coat in the pouring rain
Saw a movie it just wasn't the same
'Cause it was happy and I was sad
It made me miss you oh so bad
Dreams last so long
Even after you're gone
I know you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you.
Go about my business, I'm doin fine
Besides, what would I say if U had you on the line
Same old story, not much to say
Hearts are broken, everyday.
Brush my teeth and put the cap back on
I know you hate it when I leave the light on
I pick a book up. Turn the sheets down.
Take a deep breath and a good look around
Put on my pj's and hot into bed
I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead
I try and tell myself it'll be all right
I just shouldn't think anymore tonight
Dreams last so long
Even after you're gone
I know you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you

* "hearts are broken everyday"...

FIVE YEAR DIARY [chamberlain]
Make whispers of these words,
If they've moved you I can prove that they're empty.
I've been sailing paper ships
under burning bridges since the beginning.
But I wouldn't change a thing
If the days were there for changing.
I've learned enough from living.
I'm the one who reached for love and missed,
so can you come down to me?
I'll be waiting with that same look on my face.
And I'm still stuck inside of sorrow
Though the days outside are flames.
And I still comb the night for stars
behind a wind-kissed window pane.
I'm the one who reached for love and missed
so can you come down to me?
Now the days stretch out like the landscape of this town,
when the seasons change.
I'll be waiting with that same look on my face.
We all dance when the seasons change.

* falar do chamberlain é chover no molhado. acho que todo mundo já teve esse cd na mão e decorou algum refrão triste. mesmo já muito batido, continua sendo um dos meus queridinhos.
