LOOKING FOR LOVE

I was alone thinkin' I was just fine
I wasn't lookin' for anyone to be mine
I thought love was just a fabrication
A train that wouldn't stop at my station

Home, alone, that was my consignment
Solitary confinement
So when we met I was getting around you
I didn't know I was looking for love Until I found you

I didn't know I was looking for love Until I found you honey
I didn't know I was looking for love Until I found you baby
I didn't know I was looking for love
I didn't know I was looking for love

Cuz there you stood and I would
Oh I wonder could I say what I felt
And not be misunderstood
A thousand stars came into my system
I never knew how much I had missed them

Slap on my map of my heart you landed
I was coy but you made me candid
And now the planets circle around you

I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you


I didn't know I was looking for love Until I found you baby
I didn't know I was looking for love Until I found you baby
I didn't know I was looking for love
I didn't know I was looking for love

So we build from here with love the foundation
In a world with tears one consolation
Now you're here there's a full brass band
Playin' in me like a wonderland

And if you left I would be two-foot small
And every tear would be a waterfall
Soundless boundless I surround you

I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you

Far Away - So Close!

Green line / Seven Eleven
You stop in For a pack of cigarettes
You don't smoke / Don't even want to
And now check you change Dressed up like a car crash
The wheels are turning But you're upside down
You say when he hits you / You don't mind
Because when he hurts you / You feel alive

Is that what it is?

Red light, grey morning / You stumble
Out of a hole in the ground
A vampire or a victim
It depends on who's around
You used to stay in To watch the adverts
You could lip synch To the talk shows
And if you look / You look through me
And when you talk / You talk at me
And when I touch you / You don't feel a thing

If I could stay / Then the night would give you up
Stay / Then the day would keep its trust
Stay / and the night would be enough


Faraway, so close

Up with the static and the radio
With satellite television / You can go anywhere
Miami, New Orleans, London, Belfast and Berlin
And if you listen / I can't call
And if you jump / You just might fall
And if you shout / I'll only hear you



If I could stay / Then the night would give you up
Stay / Then the day would keep its trust
Stay / With the demons you drowned
Stay / With the spirits I found
Stay / And the night would be enough


Three o'clock in the morning
It's quiet and there's no one around
Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel runs to ground
Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel hits to ground

(Stay - Far Away, So Close - U2)

THE WAY YOU LOOK TONIGHT

Não pensar em você a cada segundo do meu dia é como não acordar. É como estar adormecida, encoberta pelo véu da não-existência. Não pensar em você, diariamente, a cada música, a cada ar que eu inspiro, é como não viver. É como não estar completa. Não pensar em você é como estar vazia, mesmo o sendo. Não pensar em você é como apagar todas as luzes. Fechar as cortinas, desligar todos os sons. É como não ouvir. É como não ter voz. Essa que te canta e te grita.


Some day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you...

And the way you look tonight.

Yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.

With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fear apart...
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
It touches my foolish heart.

Lovely ... Never, ever change.
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it ?
'Cause I love you ... Just the way you look tonight.

Just the way you look to-night.

(The way you look tonight - Jerome Kern & Dorothy Fields)

That´s my soul out there......

" There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
There's a flag-pole rag and the wind won't stop

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain



There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall
(That`s my soul up there)
There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall
(That`s my soul up there)
There's a blue whale beached by a spring tide's ebb
(That`s my soul up there)
There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web
(That`s my soul up there)

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain


There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread

There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack
There's a black-winged gull with a broken back
There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the queen of pain


Queen of pain
I'll always be queen of pain
I'll always be queen of pain"

(Sting - Performed by Alanis)
