Kiedy Będę Umierał

Cóż, kiedy będę umierał
Nie chcę, by ktokolwiek rozpaczał
Chcę tylko, żebycie
Zabrali mnie do domu,
Tak, tak, tak
Żeby łatwiej mi było umrzeć
Tak, tak, tak
Tak, tak, tak
Żeby łatwiej mi było umrzeć
Jezus pocieli, Jezus pocieli
Jezus pocieli moje łoże mierci

Tak, spotkajmy się, Jezusie, spotkajmy się
Spotkajmy się porodku nieba
Jeli te skrzydła zawiodš mnie, Panie
Czy ofiarujesz mi drugš parę
Tak, tak, tak
Żeby łatwiej mi było umrzeć
Tak, tak, tak
Tak, tak, tak
Żeby łatwiej mi było umrzeć
Jezus pocieli, Jezus pocieli
Jezus pocieli moje łoże mierci

Panie, kiedy będę umierał
Nie chcę, aby ktokolwiek płakał
Chcę tylko, żeby
Zabrał mnie, kiedy umrę
Tak, tak, tak

Tak, tak, tak
Tak, tak, tak
Żeby łatwiej mi było umrzeć
Jezus pocieli, Jezus pocieli
Jezus pocieli moje łoże mierci

Stardust

(tekst i muzyka: David Essex)

Ah look what they've done to the rock'n'roll clown
Ah rock'n'roll clown, look he's dead on the ground
Well he used to high fly but he crashed out the sky
In a Stardust fling, hey rock 'n roll king is down
Roll on up, won't you come and take the lovely me
Come on, stand in line just one at a time, see me
See my painted-on grin as a stand up to sing
In a stardust fling, hey rock'n'roll king is down
But he's the leader of the band
He is a lonely man
Do-Don't you wanna take his hand
Yes you know you can
Well i used to high fly but i crashed out the sky
In a Stardust fling, hey rock 'n roll king is down
In a Stardust fling, hey rock 'n roll king is down
In a Stardust fling, hey rock 'n roll king is down

I cast a lonesome Shadow

(tekst i muzyka: Hank Thompson)

Every evening when the sun goes down
I sit here in my room
And the lamplight streaming
over me projects my lonely gloom
My counterpart in agony
mocks each tear that falls
And I cast a lonesome shadow
on these lonely, lonely walls

He's always by my side at night
no matter where I go
He lurks out in the darkness
or in the neon's glow
He follows me across the steps
and up and down the hall
And I cast a lonesome shadow
on these lonely, lonely walls

I sit and watch the candle
and the flicker of the flame
My writhing shadow twists
and turns as though it is in pain
I'm trying to escape
the memory my mind recalls
And I cast a lonesome shadow
on these lonely, lonely walls

The image of a love I lost
and all the things I'd planned
Are as empty as this bottle
that I hold in my hand
My soul is buried in the depths
of love and life's pitfalls
And I cast a lonesome shadow
on these lonely, lonely walls
I cast a lonesome shadow
on these lonely, lonely walls

In my other World

(tekst i muzyka: Julee Cruise)

In my other world
There is no pain
And all my thoughts
Are clouds of happiness
In my other world
My heart beats red
There is no gun
Pointed at my head
And I don`t really want your kiss
My thoughts don`t make me cry
My heart`s not filled with grey sadness
My ears can`t hear you lie
And I can`t even see your face
I`ve never heard your name
My heart is still my thoughts are calm
And light has filled this space
In my other world
My pain is bliss
I own your soul
I own your kiss
In my other world

Loverman

(tekst i muzyka: Nick Cave)

There's a devil waiting outside your door
(How much longer)
There's a devil waiting outside your door
(How much longer)
It is bucking and braying and pawing at the floor
(How much longer)
And he's howling with pain and crawling up the walls
(How much longer)
There's a devil waiting outside your door
(How much longer)
He's weak with evil and broken by the world
(How much longer)
He's shouting your name and he's asking for more
(How much longer)
There's a devil waiting outside your door
(How much longer)
Loverman!
Since the world began
Forever, Amen
Till end of time
Take off that dress
I'm coming down

E is for loving almost EVERYTHING that you do

Loverman! Till the bitter end
While empires burn down
Forever and ever and ever and ever
Amen
I'm your loverman
So help me, baby
So help me
Cause I am what I am what I am what I am
I'll be your loverman!
There's a devil crawling along your floor
(How much longer)
There's a devil crawling along your floor
(How much longer)
With a trembling heart, he's coming through your door
(How much longer)
With his straining sex in his jumping paw
(How much longer)
There's a devil crawling along your floor
(How much longer)
And he's old and he's stupid and
(How much longer)
he's hungry and he's sore
(How much longer)
And he's lame and he's blind
and he's dirty and he's poor
(How much longer)
Give him more
(How much longer)
There's a devil crawling along your floor
(How much longer)
Loverman! Here I stand Forever, Amen
Cause I am what I am what I am what I am
Forgive me, baby My hands are tied
And I got no choice No, I got no choice at all
I'll say it again
L is for LOVE, baby

To take off your dress And be your man
Seize the throne Seize the mantle
Seize the crown Cause I am what I am
What I am what I am I'm your loverman!
There's a devil lying by your side
You might think he's asleep
but look at his eyes
He wants you, baby, to be his bride
There's a devil lying by your side

By this River

(tekst i muzyka: Brian Eno)

Here we are
Stuck by this river,
You and I
Underneath a sky that's ever falling down, down, down
Ever falling down
Through the day
As if on an ocean
Waiting here,
Always failing to remember why we came, came, came:
I wonder why we came
You talk to me
as if from a distance
And I reply
With impressions chosen from another time, time, time,
From another time

Lost In The Stars

(tekst i muzyka: Maxwell Anderson/Kurt Weill)

Before Lord God made the sea and the land,
He held all the stars in the palm of his hand.
And they ran through his fingers like grains of sand,
And one little star fell alone.
Then the Lord God hunted through the wide night air
For the little dark star on the wind down there.
And he stated and promised he'd take special care
So it wouldn't get lost again.
Now a man don't mind if the stars grow dim
And the clouds blow over and darken him,
So long as the Lord God's watching over them,
Keeping track of how it all goes on
But I've been walking all the night and the day,
Till my eyes get weary and my head turns gray.
And sometimes it seems maybe God's gone away,
And we're lost out here in the stars.
Little stars, big stars, blowing through the night,
And we're lost out here in the stars.
Little stars, big stars, blowing through the night,
And we're lost out here in the stars.
Oh my love
(tekst i muzyka: John Lennon)
Oh my love for the first time in my life
My eyes are wide open
Oh my lover for the first time in my life My eyes can see
I see the wind, oh I see the trees
Everything is clear in my heart
I see the clouds, oh I see the sky
Everything is clear in our world
Oh my love for the first time in my life
My mind is wide open
Oh my lover for the first time in my life
My mind can feel
I feel the sorrow, oh I feel the dreams
Everything is clear in my heart
I feel life, oh I feel love
Everything is clear in our world

Das Lied vom einsamen Mädchen

(tekst i muzyka: Werner Heyman & Robert Gilbert)

Das Lied vom einsamen Mädchen
Sie herzte sanft ihr Spielzeug
Bevor sie es zerbrach
Und hatte eine Sehnsucht
Und wußte nicht wonach
Weil sie einsam war
Und so blond ihr Haar
Und ihr Mund so rot wie Wein
Und wer von diesem Wein trank
Konnt' nie mehr glücklich sein
Doch einer sprach im Frühling:
"Auch Du fühlst Lust und Schmerz"
Und brach ihr tausend Rosen
Doch sie brach nur sein Herz
Weil sie einsam war
Und so blond ihr Haar
Und ihr Mund so rot wie Wein
Ja, keine konnt' so küssen
Und doch so einsam sein
Was blieb von ihrem Leben
Ein Lied, das niemand sang
Sankt Peter ließ sie warten
Zwei Ewigkeiten langWeil sie einsam war
Und so blond ihr Haar
Und ihr Herz so tot wie Stein
Dann rief er: "Armes Kind, komm,
Sollst nie mehr einsam sein"

Tiny Girls

(tekst i muzyka: David Bowie & Iggy Pop)

Well the day begins
You don't want to live
'Cause you can't believe
In the one you're with
'Cause you know her tricks
And you know her past
When she makes a face
You just have to laugh
And you feel like such a know-it-all
When you only want just a tiny girl
And you hope she'll sing
So you turn around
Toward the tiny girls
Who have got no tricks
Who have got no past
Yea that's what you think
And you hope she'll sing
But she sings of greed
Like a young banshee
And she wants for this
And she wants for that
What did you think

Candy Says

(tekst i muzyka: Lou Reed)

Candy says, I've come to hate my body
And all that it requires in this world
Candy says, I'd like to know completely
What all they discretely talk about
I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly
over my shoulder
I'm gonna watch them pass me by
maybe when I'm olderWhat do you think I'd see
if I could walk away from me
Candy says, I hate the quiet places
That cause the smallest taste of what will be
Candy says, I hate the big decisions
That cause endless revisions in my mind
I'm gonna watch the bluebirds fly
over my shoulder
I'm gonna watch them pass me by
maybe when I'm older
What do you think I'd see
if I could walk away from me

Life is strange

(tekst: Marc Bolan & T-Rex)

Utwór znalazł się na singlu 'Stardust' MUTE 296 jako b-side.

Strange, life is strange, life is strange,
Oh life is strange.O God, life is strange,
people come and people go,
some move fast and some move slow,
no, no, no, no, no.
O God, life is good,
some are fat and some are thin,
some don't even ask you how you've been,
No, no, no, no, no.
Strange, life is strange, life is strange.
Oh life is strange.
O God, life is good,
some are fat and some are thin,
some don't even ask you how you've been,
No, no, no, no, no.
O God, life is strange,
some are fast and some are slow,
some believe, me don't even know,
No, no, no, no, no.Strange, life is strange, life is strange.
Oh my life is strange.
