Päivän laulu
Soi päässä, pannaan soimaan muillekin.
Herra Ylppö - Sata vuotta
Hei hei hei, laiva lähtee minä jään,
Hei hei hei, voiko kuolla ikävään?
Sulla on oma elämä siellä,
Jossa minä olisin vain tiellä
Sinä olet niin kaukana, toisessa maassa,
Se repii mieleni,
Sinä olet niin kaukana,
Vaikka sata vuotta, mä odotan sinua
Hei hei hei, hurmuri on aina imagonsa vanki
Ei en oo, vaikka väitetäänkin, en oo pelkkä kanki
Me nähdään niin harvoin, ei pilata hetkiämme puhumalla
Hei, hei, hei
Sinä olet niin kaukana, toisessa maassa, se repii mieleni
Sinä olet niin kaukana, vaikka sata vuotta mä odotan sinua
Sinä olet niin kaukana, toisessa maassa,
Sinä olet niin kaukana, minä voin odottaa sinua, vaikka sata vuotta,
Tässä satamassa
Älä sano että olet, ihastunut minuun,
Saatat tarkoittaa sitä,
Älä sano että olet ihastunut minuun,
Saatat tarkoittaa sitä
Sinä olet niin kaukana, toisessa maassa, se repii mieleni
Sinä olet niin kaukana, vaikka sata vuotta, mä odotan sinua
Vaikka sata vuotta tässä satamassa
Montako elämää meillä on vielä jäljellä, niin
Mene vaan minä jään,
Mene vaan,
En pysty selittämään,
Kuitenkin jossain on maa, jossa sinua odotetaan,
Montako elämää, meillä on vielä jäljellä
Hei, mene vaan minä jään,
Mene vaan minä jään,
Mene vaan, minä jään.

New Model Army - Aimless Desire
(Sullivan/Heaton) 1995
I was working shift on the six o'clock, quiet in the pale dawn.
Found a bird caught in the machinery - set it free and watched it go
Quit the job that very day, and flew into the sky
Just following after this aimless desire, this awful desire, this worthless desire.
Now I've found causes and I've found families, but nothing ever lasts;
I've known people I'd die for - if only they had asked.
Where I'm from is not my home, and neither's where I'm bound;
Just following after this aimless desire, worthless desire
So tonight beneath the bridge where the fires burn,
God, take the freedom back,
deliver me from the aimless desire, the worthless desire
And chimera she waits, and I have still got this hole in me
still got this hole inside of me

Irina - Pokka
Yhtä toivon enemmän kuin muuta.
Paljon sen vuoksi antaisin,
Että tuntisit oikeesti
Miten paljon sä haavoitit.
Ja miten kerran toisensa,
Jälkeen se kaikki uudestaan nöyryytti.
Älä väitä ettei sulla ole muka muistoo.
Vai pidätkö sä mua tyhmänä,
Jolla ei ole väliä?
Itsetäänselvyytenä, lastenpalapelinä?
Pokkaa sul on ainakin, se on käynyt selväksi.
Liikaa oot sen varjolla,
Jo varastanut anteeksi.
Mistä sait sen käsityksen,
Että noin voi tehdä toisille.
Mut se mun täytyy kyllä myöntää,
Sul on pokkaa ainakin.
Mä en tahtois kantaa turhaa kuormaa.
Varsinkaan kun se mitään muuta ei.
Mut tekisitkö sä uudestaan saman,
Jos saisit valita?
Onko sussa jäljellä,
Palaakaan inhimillisyydestä?
Joo mä tiedän mitä tunnen,
Mut koskaan sitä ääneen sano en.
Mä pelkään että joskus peilistä
Katsoo sun kaltainen.
Mä en suutu enkä raivoo, enkä huuda,
Siihen suostu enää en.
Yksi ainoo katse jota et ymmärrä kuitenkaan,
Kertoo enemmän kuin kaikki sanat yhteensä.
Sitä mitä tapahtuu syvällä mun sisällä
Ja sitä mikä odottaa vielä sitä hetkeä,
Kun on vapaa kaikesta mitä kannan mukana.
Tiedän kuka sinä oot, mut onko sulla hajua,
Sitä mihin päässyt oon ilman sinun apua?
Oikeastaan minun pitäisi kai kiittää sinua,
Avasit mun silmät, enkä usko enää satuja.

Sunrise Avenue - Fairytale Gone Bad
This is the end you know
Lady, the plans we had went all wrong
We ain't nothing but fight and shout and tears
We got to a point I can't stand
I've had it to the limit; I can't be your man
I ain't more than a minute away from walking
We can't cry the pain away
We can't find a need to stay
I slowly realized there's nothing on our side
Out of my life, Out of my mind
Out of the tears that we can?t deny
We need to swallow all our pride
And leave this mess behind
Out of my head, Out of my bed
Out of the dreams we had, they're bad
Tell them it's me who made you sad
Tell them the fairytale gone bad
Another night and I bleed
They all make mistakes and so did we
But we did something we can never turn back right
Find a new one to fool
Leave and don't look back. I won't follow
We have nothing left. It's the end of our time
We can't cry the pain away
We can't find a need to stay
There's no more rabbits in my hat to make things right
Out of my life, Out of my mind
Out of the tears we can?t deny
We need to swallow all our pride
And leave *THIS mess behind
Out of my head, Out of my bed
Out of the dreams we had, they're bad
Tell them it's me who made you sad
Tell them the fairytale gone bad
This is the end you know
Lady, the plans we had went all wrong
We ain't nothing but fight and shout and tears
We got to a point I can't stand
I've had it to the limit; I can't be your man

Tell them it's me who made you sad
Tell them the fairytale gone bad
Another night and I bleed
They all make mistakes and so did we
But we did something we can never turn back right
Find a new one to fool
Leave and don't look back. I won't follow
We have nothing left. It's the end of our time

Goldfrapp: A&E
It's a blue, bright blue Saturday, hey hey
And the pain is starting to slip away, hey hey
I'm in a backless dress on a pastel ward that's shining
Think I want you still
But there may be pills at work
Do you really wanna know how I was dancing on the floor?
I was trying to phone you when I'm crawling out the door
I'm amazed at you, the things you say that you don't do
Why don't you wreck?
I was feeling lonely, feeling blue
Feeling like I needed you
Like I'm walking up surrounded by me
A&E
It's a blue, bright blue Saturday, hey hey
And the pain is starting to slip away, hey hey
I'm in a backless dress on a pastel ward that's shining
Think I wan't you still
But there may be pills at work
How did I get to accident - emergency?
All I wanted was you to take me out high
And I was feeling lonely, feeling blue
Feeling like I needed you
Like I hope'd you'd call and hope'd you'd see me
A&E
Ilmeisesti tyttöparka on joutunut teholle kiskottuaan liikaa kamaa, ja eihän hän toki muuten, mutta kun hän oli yksinäinen ja surullinen ja tarvitsi... sinua. Muita tulkintoja?
Olen yrittänyt löytää falsettiani huokailemalla "feeling lonely, feeling blue, feeling like I needed you". Tällainen melankolia on ihanaa.

Argh. Nyt minua jäi vaivaamaan, että putoaisiko nauruun kuollut kärpänen heti katosta, vai toimivatko imukupit jonkin aikaa vielä kuoleman jälkeen. Sitä ei taida voida tutkia millään keinoin, sillä kärpäsen kuolinaikaa voi olla hieman vaikea määrittää.Vadim kirjoitti:Kärpäsparka kuolisi nauruun korviaan pidellen. Kai niillä on korvat?prosessi kirjoitti:Kuulostaa siltä, että haluaisin olla kärpäsenä katossa.
on se vaan... klassikko.

Pet Shop Boys - I Get Along
Feeling like I'm stuck in a hole
body and soul
while you're out of control
Now I know why you had to go
well I think we both know
why it had to be so
I've been trying not to cry
when I'm in the public eye
Stuck here with the shame
and taking
my share of the blame
while making
sudden plans that don't include you
I get along, get along
without you very well
I get along very well
Now I know you'd much rather be
with rock royalty
instead of someone like me
The big boys are back and we need
them, you said
Think it was something you'd read
and it stuck in your head
Even though I don't suppose
that's as far as it goes
You've got quite an appetite
for being wronged and in the right
Well from now on it won't affect me
I get along, get along
without you very well
I get along very well
The morning after the night before
I'd been alerted
to your lies
I phoned you up
Your calls were all diverted
Took a long time to track you down
even then you were defiant
It's not what you think it is, you said
and proceeded to deny it
So I lost my patience at last
and it happened so fast
you belong in the past
I've been trying not to cry
when I'm in the public eye
Stuck here with the shame
and taking
my share of the blame
while making
sudden plans that don't include you
I get along, get along
without you very well
I get along very well

Tuomari Nurmio - Yksi pieni sydän
Sä voit vetää lompakosta suuren setelin,
se siivillään sut kauas kuljettaa.
Se on uskollinen itselleen
niin kuin sinäkin,
kukaan ei voi sitä omistaa.
Rahallahan saa
melkein mitä vaan,
kaiken entisen
voi unohtaa kokonaan.
Mut jos sä petät sen
pienen sydämen,
sä menettää voit maailmastas kaiken rakkauden.
Sä voit olla kuuluisa ja hyvännäköinen,
tähti alusvaatemainosten.
Sä katsot suoraan kameraan aina hymyillen,
sä olet huipulla ja tiedät sen.
Sä tutkit ehkä itämaista filosofiaa,
sitä mitä viisaat kirjoittaa.
Mutta pieni sydän on niin yksinkertainen,
se kertoo sulle kyllä totuuden.
Jos sä petät sen
pienen sydämen,
sun onnesi on kohta entinen.
Jos sä rikot sen
pienen sydämen,
sä menettää voit maailmastas kaiken rakkauden.

The Smiths - How soon is now?
I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular
You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way ?
I am human and i need to be loved
Just like everybody else does
I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Oh, of nothing in particular
You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way ?
I am human and i need to be loved
Just like everybody else does
Oh ...
Oh ...
There's a club, if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go, and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home, and you cry
And you want to die
When you say it's gonna happen "now"
Well, when exactly do you mean ?
See, i've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone
Oh ...
Oh ...
You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way ?
I am human and i need to be loved

Scott Walker: Funeral Tango
Oh I can see them now
Clutching a hankerchief
And blowing me a kiss
Discreetly asking how
How came he died so young
Or was he very old
Is the body still warm
Or is it already cold
All doors are open wide
They grope around inside
At my desk my drawers my trunk
There's nothing left to hide
Some love letters are there
And an old photograph
They've laid my poor soul bare
And now all they do is laugh
Oh I can see them all
So formal and so stiff
Like a seargant at arms
At a policeman's ball
And everybody's pushing
To be the first in line
Their hearts upon their sleeves
Like a ten cent valentine
The old women are there
Too old to give a damn
They've brought along the kids
Who don't know who I am
They're thinking about the price of my funeral bouquet
What they're thinking isn't nice
For now they'll have to pay
Oh I see all of you
All of my phoney friends
Who can't wait for it ends
Who can't wait till it's through
Oh I see all of you
You've been laughing all these years
Now all that you have left
Are a few crocodile tears
Ah you don't even know
That you're entering your hell
As you leave my cemetary
You think you're doing well
With that one who's at your side
You're as proud as you can be
Ah she's going to make you cry
But not the way you cried for me
Oh I can see me now
So cold and so alone
As the flowers slowly die
In my field of little bones
Oh I can see me now
I can see me at the end
Of this voyage that I/m on
Without a love without a friend
Now all this that I see
Is not what I deserve
They really have a nerve
To say these things to me
No girls just bread and water
And your money you must save
For there'll be nothing left for us
When you're dead and in your grave
Oh I can see them now
Clutching a hankerchief
And blowing me a kiss
Discreetly asking how
How came he died so young
Or was he very old
Is the body still warm
Or is it already cold
All doors are open wide
They grope around inside

The girls
Are as fast as a game
Are as bright as a flame
And you're always to blame
The girls
Are as pink as the light
And as dark as the night
And they're always right
The girls
Are as cold as the sphinx
Always dreaming of minks
They drive you to drink
The girls
Are as soft as a sigh
That whispers good-bye
And leaves you to cry
But the dogs
Well, they're only dogs
Just wagging their tails
As they watch it end
Oh, the dogs
Well, they're only dogs
And maybe that's why
They're man's best friend
The girls
Can make you feel cold
Can make you feel old
An antique to be sold
The girls
They play with your heart
They tear you apart
You're never too smart
The girls
They throw you from towers
They'll whip you with flowers
It depends on the hours
The girls
Will treat you like trash
Or let you be brash
It depends on your cash
But the dogs
Don't depend on a thing
They just lick your face
When they see it end
Oh, the dogs
Don't depend on a thing
And maybe that's why
They're man's best friend
The girls
You know that they are vain
They will poison your brain
They will drive you insane
The girls
Will laugh at your jokes
How they love the coats
But it is all a hoax
The girls
Are still making dates
they still making you wait
and they say you are late
The girls
Are yours for a throw
At least you think so
Ah but you will never know
The dogs
Well you know the dogs
They lift up a leg
As they see it end
The dogs
Well you know the dogs
And maybe that's why
They're man's best friend
The girls
They're not what they seem
They all have a scheme
They call it a dream
The girls
Are as hot as they please
And you're down on your knees
With the greatest of ease
The girls
Say you're on the right track
Then they take it all back
Tie it up in a sack
The girls
They will give it of course
But they give with such force
That it gives you remorse
But the dogs
They give nothing at all
They just lift a leg
As they watch it end
Oh, the dogs
They give nothing at all
And that's the reason why
They're man's best friend
And yet it's because of the girls
When they've knocked us about
And our tears want to shout
That we kick the dogs out
Scott Walker: The girls and the dogs

No siis tuota - alkuperäinen kappale on taas Breliä (kuten myös edellinen otos). Englanniksi ne vain kuulostavat vielä kyynisemmiltä. Kokoelmalta "Scott Walker sings Brel" - erittäin hyvä, viisi tähteä!prosessi kirjoitti:Ihmettelin minkälainen ihminen esittää tuollaisia tekstejä ja vilkaisin Wikipediasta. No tietenkin ihminen, jonka ainoat mainitut epämusiikilliset taustatiedot koskevat synnyinpaikkaa ja asuinmaata. Pelottavaa.Vadim kirjoitti:Scott Walker: Funeral Tango
