The Knife Edge

There's only one thing,
There's only one thing,
I want from you,
And I wish that I knew what it was.

There's a hole in my heart,
Where St. Peter once slept,
There's a ghost in my bed,
I keep thinking about 
All the reasons I have
For denying and fearing my death,

I can be so damn sure
I can know what is right
Then, that terrible fright,
When my chest it caves in 
I'm feeling so empty inside,

There's only one thing,
There's only one thing,
I want from you,
And its right on the tip of my tongue,

An empty cup brought to my lips to drink.
Everything blurred and kind of indistinct.
Looking for solid ground to place my feet
Still here waiting for the extra beat.

Feeling off shore. Feeling off shore.
Through a locked door.  Through a locked door.

One Thing I Want From You

COLD BLOODED WHACK ASS $%*T

You simmer up and feed me your agenda
Sayin' that it's what's best for me
While you always had your hand on the cage door
Hopin' that I'd think I was free

Now that's some cold blooded whack ass shit
That's some cold blooded whack ass shit
That's some cold blooded whack ass shit
That's some cold blooded whack ass shit

I took the opportunity you offered
Put on a monkey suit and made my case
But you not only reversed what you had told me
You chose to rub that failure in my face

Now that's some cold blooded whack ass shit
That's some cold blooded whack ass shit
That's some cold blooded whack ass shit
That's some cold blooded whack ass shit

If it's true that I'm the one that really matters
Then tell me what's the matter with me
I asked you to live up to your promise
But apparently it's not meant to be

I know I'm just a pawn in your soulless fucked up game
It's my choice not to join you but it burns me just the same
You're just a symptom of the illness
One number on a chart
I know you didn't build this but by God you've done your part by bringin'

Cold blooded whack ass shit
Cold blooded whack ass shit
You're bringin' cold blooded whack ass shit
You're slingn' cold blooded whack ass shit

Cold Blooded Whack Ass $%*t

A final yet stern tone as Mr Finian gestures towards the front of the chamber.  Clicks and ticks proceed their hushed entrance.

ΚΑΨΑ

Samy & The Paragas Η ΚΑΨΑ

Στρατοπεδεύσανε στην πεδιάδα 
Κι ο βασιλιάς τους ήρθε να μας πει
Πως προτιμάει μια αστεία νίκη
Πως προτιμά η πόλη να δοθεί

Είμαστε λίγοι και είναι χιλιάδες
Είμαστε πράοι κι είναι τρομεροί
Κι οι μύστες συγκεντρώνουν τις κυράδες
Για να εξηγήσουν τις βουλές τις θείες
Το μέγα «ναι», χωρίς καμιά ντροπή

Πως είν’ αργά, πολύ αργά για μάχες
Πως είν’ ανούσιες πλέον οι θυσίες 
Και τις προθέσεις του κατακτητή 

Κι έτσι αργά ανοίξαμε τις πύλες
Κι έτσι απλά ελπίσαμε σε όρκους 
Φτάνει η πόλη μας να μη χαθεί
Και ξεχυθήκαμε όλοι στις πλατείες
Με γέλια και χορούς κι ωραίους τρόπους
Κι οι μύστες έλεγαν μια προσευχή

Μα κανείς, δε θα πει ποτέ για εμάς
Καμιά γιορτή ποτέ για μας
Καμιά χαμένη Κυριακή
Κανείς, δεν θα ευχηθεί ποτέ για εμάς
Ούτε θα πιει κάτι για μας
Για εμάς τους ζωντανούς

Signed by 4AD and releasing their first album in 1984, the duo drew rapturous reviews for albums that spanned neo-classical and folk across time and geography, each album selling to a progressively larger audience, the emotional drama of their coming to the attention of the San Francisco ballet, Hermes Perfume and a documentary on Hitler and Stalin; likewise motion pictures such as Heat, The Crossing Guard and Baraka. Gerrard developed her own solo film soundtracks - The Gladiator and The Insider, for example – while Perry worked on solo albums such as 1999’s ‘Eye Of the Hunter’ and 2008’s ‘Ark’.

Dead Can Dance - Opium

A constant fight between me and my dark side.Many people will relate to this.My advice, keep your mind busy with things that dont make you anxious and stay away from things that do.

Dark Side By PanosK

I'm coming up...  Yes I'm coming up....
I've got a cup of tea, I'm coming up to cheer you up.
Open your curtains up, I'm going to wake you up,
Regale you with tales when we were growing up,
Set sail, for the United States, we got our skates on
When we were younger and were dumb enough.
Just out of yellow chins and buttercups,
A million miles from our mothers love.
Could not move quick enough. Running. Dublin See Ya.
We're free yeah. This J1 Visa.
Got me a job down in Tampa selling slices of pizza in a theme park
We went real far together.
No Phone cards. No Social media.
2-Dollar Tequilas. Blue Margaritas, Last Night amnesia.
"Fake ID, wasn't me, was my cousins idea
Mr. Police officer I'm good as Mother Theresa
Name's Casey? you must be Irish.."
We slept in bus stations,
Befriended Polish and Haitians
Saw real guns, 
Pointed in our faces!!
You still frowning?  Your blues aren't breaking?
You're right. Remember when - its the lowest form of conversation,,
It's a pain these days, just trying to keep it together.
Regain the past, back when we felt light as a feather.
But you remain slain. can't get out from under the weather?
That's okay. That's alright. Let's see if I can do better....

Up. Up. I'll keep your spirits up.
Up. Up. I'll keep your spirits up.
Up. Up. I'll keep your spirits up.
I see a higher ground.  I'm going to lift you up.

Up. Up. I'll keep your spirits up.
Up. Up. I'll keep your spirits up.
Up. Up. I'll keep your spirits up.
The world is crumbling, but I won't let you give it up...
 
Switch off the news boo. It's not good for you.
The higher the stats go, the lower your mood skews. 
Spending half the day, sanity snatched away,
Station dialling, impatiently trying to make it through.
We're all nervous.
And the bad hacks,  we all know they're worthless. 
Pretend to serve us. But they hurt us with their daily disturbance.
Pit you versus their mad circus.
That's their purpose.  
To make you feel worthless and purchase the services they advertise.
And then they say with cold eyes: 'You've been hurt, by a little word, 
oh Lord preserve us, its an emergency.'
They rile up that hate. They know its murderous.
And that its lurking just under the surface of all of us.
Where do you think the xenophobes and fervant racists get their purpose?
And the pervert little civil servants 
Are trying to stir it with their wolfwhistle wormwords,
They don't deserve us
And so its now Lockdown 3, and they're just taking the piss.
Been so long, don't know what a haircut is,
We missed your birthday too, What a kick in the ribs. 
10 full months, and not a night away from the kids
But I got faith in the human spirit.
I got faith in your human spirit.
Death is coming some time babe, but we're hopefully nowhere near it,
Is that a laugh you made? Come on now, Let me hear it.

Up. Up. I'll keep your spirits up.
Up. Up. I'll keep your spirits up.
Up. Up. I'll keep your spirits up.
Horizontal now, but I will have you jumping up

Up. Up. I'll keep your spirits up.
Up. Up. I'll keep your spirits up.
Up. Up. I'll keep your spirits up.
I see a higher ground.  I'm going to lift you up.
