Seven Seconds Away

SEVEN SECONDS AWAY (Neneh Cherry & Youssou N'dour)

Boul ma sene, boul ma guiss madi re nga fokni mane

Khamouma li neka thi sama souf ak thi guinaw

Beugouma kouma khol oaldine yaw li neka si yaw

mo ne si man, li ne si mane moye dilene diapale

Roughneck and rudeness,

We should be using, on the ones who practice wicked charms

For the sword and the stone

Bad to the bone

Battle is not over

Even when it's won

And when a child is born into this world

It has no concept

Of the tone the skin is living in

CHORUS

It's not a second

Several seconds away

Just as long as I stay

I'll be waiting

It's not a second

7 seconds away

Just as long as I stay

I'll be waiting (x3)

J'assume les raisons qui nous poussent de changer tout,

J'aimerais qu'on oublie leur couleur pour qu'ils esperent

Beaucoup de sentiments de race qui font qu'ils desesperent

Je veux les portes grandements ouvertes,

Des amis pour parler de leur peine, de leur joie

Pour qu'ils leur filent des infos qui ne divisent pas

Changer

CHORUS

And when a child is born into this world

It has no concept

Of the tone of the skin he's living in

And there's a million voices

And there's a million voices

To tell you what she should be thinking

So you better sober up for just a second

CHORUS

The First Cut is the Deepest

I would have given you all of my heart

Te hubiera entregado todo mi corazón

But there's someone who's torn it apart

Pero ya alguien lo destrozó

And she's taken just all that I had

Y ella se quedó con todo lo que tenía

But if you want I'll try to love again

Pero si así lo quieres, intentaré amar otra vez

Baby I'll try to love again but I know

Nena intentaré amar otra vez pero sé que

The first cut is the deepest

La primera herida es la más profunda

Baby I know the first cut is the deepest

Nena yo sé que la primer herida es la más profunda

But when it comes to being lucky she's cursed

Pero cuando se trata de tener suerte ella está maldita

When it comes to loving me she's the worst

Cuando se trata de amarme ella es la peor

I still want you by my side

Aun así te quiero a mi lado

Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried

Solo para ayudarme a secar las lágrimas que he llorado

And I'm sure going to give you a try

Y con seguridad te daré una oportunidad

And if you want I'll try to love again

Y si así lo quieres, intentaré amar otra vez

Baby I'll try to love again but I know

Nena intentaré amar otra vez pero sé que

The first cut is the deepest

La primera herida es la más profunda

Baby I know the first cut is the deepest

Nena yo sé que la primer herida es la más profunda

But when it comes to being lucky she's cursed

Pero cuando se trata de tener suerte ella está maldita

When it comes to loving me she's the worst

Viva la vida (Cold PLay)

I used to rule the world

Seas would rise when I gave the word

Now in the morning I sweep alone

Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

Listen as the crowd would sing:

"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

One minute I held the key

Next the walls were closed on me

And I discovered that my castles stand

Upon pillars of sand, pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

Be my mirror my sword and shield

My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can not explain

Once you know there was never, never an honest word

That was when I ruled the world

(Ohhh)

It was the wicked and wild wind

Blew down the doors to let me in.

Shattered windows and the sound of drums

People could not believe what I'd become

Revolutionaries Wait

For my head on a silver plate

Just a puppet on a lonely string

Oh who would ever want to be king?

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

Be my mirror my sword and shield

My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can not explain

I know Saint Peter will call my name

Never an honest word

And that was when I ruled the world

(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)

Hear Jerusalem bells are ringings

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

Be my mirror my sword and shield

My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can not explain

I know Saint Peter will call my name

Never an honest word

But that was when I ruled the world

Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh"

Viva la vida

Yo solía gobernar el mundo
Los mares se alzaban cuando yo lo ordenaba
Ahora en la mañana yo barro solo
barro las calles que solía poseer

Yo solía tirar el dado
Sentir el miedo en los ojos de mi enemigo
Escuchaba como la gente cantaba:
"Ahora el viejo rey está muerto, ¡larga vida al rey!"

Un minuto yo tenía la llave
Al siguiente las paredes se cerraban en mí
Y descubrí que mis castillos estaban construidos
Sobre pilares de sal y pilares de arena

Escucho las campanas de Jerusalén sonando
Los coros del Calvario Romano están cantando
Son mi espejo, mi espada y mi escudo
Mis misioneros en un campo extranjero
Por alguna razón que no puedo explicar
Una vez que sabes que nunca hubo una palabra honesta
Así era cuando yo gobernaba el mundo

Fue el viento loco y salvaje
Que tiró las puertas para dejarme entrar
Ventanas rotas y el sonido de tambores
La gente no podía creer en lo que me convertí

Los revolucionarios esperan
Mi cabeza en charola de plata
Solo una marioneta en una cuerda solitaria
Oh ¿Quién podría querer ser rey?

Escucho las campanas de Jerusalén sonando
Los coros del Calvario Romano están cantando
Son mi espejo, mi espada y mi escudo
Mis misioneros en un campo extranjero
Por alguna razón que no puedo explicar
Yo sé que San Pedro dirá mi nombre
Nunca hubo una palabra honesta
Pero así era cuando yo gobernaba el mundo

Escucho las campanas de Jerusalén sonando
Los coros del Calvario Romano están cantando
Son mi espejo, mi espada y mi escudo
Mis misioneros en un campo extranjero
Por alguna razón que no puedo explicar
Yo sé que San Pedro dirá mi nombre
Nunca hubo una palabra honesta
Pero así era cuando yo gobernaba el mundo

Kiss

 

KISS

You don't have to be beautiful

To turn me on

I just need your body, baby

From dusk till dawn

You don't need experience

To turn me out

You just leave it all up to me

I'll show you what it's all about

You don't have to be rich to be my girl

You don't have to be cool to rule my world

Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with

I just want your extra time and your KISS

You got to not talk dirty, baby

If you wanna impress me

You can't be too flirty, mama

I know how to undress me

I want to be your fantasy

Maybe, you could be mine

You just leave it all up to me

We could have a real good time

You don't have to be rich to be my girl

You don't have to be cool to rule my world

Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with

I just want your extra time and your KISS

I think I'd better dance now.....

Women, not girls, rule my world

I said they rule my world

Act your age woman, not your shoe size

Maybe we could do the twirl?

You don't have to watch Dynasty

To have an attitude

You just leave it all up to me

My love will be your food

You don't have to be rich to be my girl

You don't have to be cool to rule my world

Ain't no particular sign, I'm more compatible with,

I just want your extra time and your KISS

Everybody Hurts

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on

'Cause everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts. You are not alone

Piper to the End

El concierto de Córdoba lo disfruté como nunca imaginé. Fue genial, todavía se me ponen los pelos de punta. Aquí sólo se grabó la parte final. En el vídeo siguiente el sonido es mejor y está completo el tema.


When I leave this world behind me
To another I will go
If there are no pipes in heaven
I`ll be going down below

If friends in time be severed
Someday we will meet again
I`ll return to leave you never
Be a piper to the end

This has been a day to die fo
Now the day has almost gone
Up above a choir of seabirds
Turns to face the setting sun

Now the evening dawn is calling
And all the hills are burning red
And before the night comes falling
Clouds are lined with golden thread

We watched the fires together
Shared our quarters for a while
Walked the dusty roads together
Came so many miles

This has been a day to die on
Now the day is almost done
Here the pipes will lay beside me
Silent will the battle drum

If friends in time be severed
Someday here we will meet again
I return to leave you never
Be a piper to the end

We All Stand Together

Rupert and the Frog Song

Bom bom bom,

Win or lose, sink or swim,
One thing is certain, we'll never give in.
Side by side, hand in hand,

But what's the point on a beautiful night?
Arm in arm, hand in hand,
We all stand together.

Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom.

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la,
Keeping us warm in the night.

Meow, meow, meow,
Meow, meow, meow,

It's Raining Men

It's Raining Men
Hi - Hi! We're your Weather Girls - Ah-huh -
And have we got news for you - You better listen!
Get ready, all you lonely girls
and leave those umbrellas at home. - Alright! -

Humidity is rising - Barometer's getting low
According to all sources, the street's the place to go
Cause tonight for the first time
Just about half-past ten
For the first time in history
It's gonna start raining men.

It's Raining Men! Hallelujah! - It's Raining Men! Amen!
I'm gonna go out to run and let myself get
Absolutely soaking wet!
It's Raining Men! Hallelujah!
It's Raining Men! Every Specimen!
Tall, blonde, dark and lean
Rough and tough and strong and mean

God bless Mother Nature, she's a single woman too
She took off to heaven and she did what she had to do
She taught every angel to rearrange the sky
So that each and every woman could find her perfect guy
It's Raining Men! Hallelujah! - It's Raining Men! Amen!
It's Raining Men! Hallelujah!
It's Raining Men! Ame---------nnnn!

I feel stormy weather / Moving in about to begin
Hear the thunder / Don't you lose your head
Rip off the roof and stay in bed

God bless Mother Nature, she's a single woman too
She took off to heaven and she did what she had to do
She taught every angel to rearrange the sky
So that each and every woman could find her perfect guy
It's Raining Men! Yeah!

Humidity is rising - Barometer's getting low
According to all sources, the street's the place to go
Cause tonight for the first time
Just about half-past ten
For the first time in history
It's gonna start raining men.

It's Raining Men! Hallelujah! - It's Raining Men! Amen!
It's Raining Men! Hallelujah! - It's Raining Men!

Ritmo y sentido del humor, una buena combinación. :)

Baby Jane

 Baby Jane
 Baby Jane don't leave me hanging on the line
I knew you when you had no one to talk to
Now you're moving in high society
don't forget I know secrets about you
I used to think you were on my side
but now I'm no longer sure
I wish I knew what I know now before

When I give my heart again
I know it's gonna last forever
No one tell me where or when
I know it's gonna last forever

Baby Jane don't it make you feel sad
just when I thought that we were winning
You and I were so close in every way
don't time fly when you're loving and laughing
I've said goodbye so many times
the situation ain't all that new
Optimism's my best defense
I'll get through without you

When I give my heart again
I know it's gonna last forever
No one tell me where or when
I know it's gonna last forever
I won't be that dumb again
I know it's gotta last forever
When I fall in love again
I know it's gonna last forever

Baby Jane I've said all I want to say
go your own way don't think twice about me
Cause I've got ideas and plans of my own
so long darlin' I'll miss you believe me
The lesson learned was so hard to swallow
but I know that I'll survive
I'm gonna take a good look at myself and cry

When I give my heart again
I know it's gonna last forever
No one tell me where or when
I know it's gonna last forever
When I fall in love next time
I know it's gonna last forever
I won't be that dumb again
I know it'll last forever

Avalon

-->

Now the party's over
I'm so tired
Then I see you coming
Out of nowhere
Much communication in a motion
Without conversation or a notion
Avalon

When the samba takes you
Out of nowhere
And the background's fading
Out of focus
Yes the picture's changing
Every moment
And your destination
You don't know it
Avalon

Dancing, dancing
Dancing, dancing

When you bossanova
There's no holding
Would you have me dancing
Out of nowhere
Avalon ...

Please Forgive Me (Brian Adams)

Please Forgive Me

It still feels like our first night together,
Feels like the first kiss
It's getting better, baby,
No one can better this
Still holding on,
You're still the one
First time our eyes met,
Same feeling I get,
Only feels much stronger
I wanna love you longer
you still turn the fire on?
So if you're feeling lonely, don't
You're the only one I'll ever want
I only want to make it go,
So if I love you a little more than I should...
Please forgive me, I know not what I do
Please forgive me, I can't stop loving you
Don't deny me, this pain I'm going through
Please forgive me, if I need you like I do
Please believe me, (Oh believe it), every word I say is true
Please forgive me, I can't stop loving you
Still feels like our best times are together,
Feels like the first touch
Still getting closer, baby,
Can't get close enough
Still holding on,
You're still number one
I remember the smell of your skin,
I remember everything,
I remember all the moves
I remember you, yeah
I remember the nights, you know I still do
So if you're feeling lonely, don't
You're the only one I'll ever want
I only want to make it go,
So if I love you a little more than I should...

Please forgive me, I know not what I do
Please forgive me, I can't stop loving you
Don't deny me, this pain I'm going through
Please forgive me, if I need you like I do
Please believe me, (Oh believe it), every word I say is true
Please forgive me, I can't stop loving you
The one thing I'm sure of
Is the way we make love
The one thing I depend on
Is for us to stay strong
With every word and every breath I'm praying,
That's why I'm saying...
Please forgive me, I know not what I do
Please forgive me, I can't stop loving you
Don't deny me, this pain I'm going through
Please forgive me, if I need you like I do
Babe believe it, every word I say is true
Please forgive me, if I can't stop loving you
No, believe, I don't know what I do
Please forgive me, I can't stop loving you
I can't stop loving you

Blowing in the Wind (Bob Dylan)

Blowing in the Wind
How many roads must a man walk down
Before they call him a man
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand
How many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they are forever banned
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

How many years can a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea
How many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free
How many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky
How many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry
How many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

Bob Dylan (1941) tenía sólo veintiún años (1962) cuando compuso la letra y música de esta canción. Himno pacifista de una juventud que protestaba por la Guerra de Vietnam, Bahía Cochinos, el movimiento por los derechos civiles y por muchas más causas y que sigue vigente hoy.

Merhum, Bob Dylan siempre estuvo a la vanguardia en la lucha por los derechos humanos, con las "armas" que mejor sabía manejar que eran sus canciones, y esta en particular me ha gustado mucho. Un abrazo.

Seguir luchando siempre, nunca el abandono por algo que merece tanto la pena. Hay canciones, como ésta, que nunca se olvidarán por lo que significaron y siguen significando.

Lando dijo

Este tema son "palabras mayores".
Muchas veces para entender en su justa medida, canciones, obras, articulos etc... hay que intentar colocarse en el momento en que fueron editados, para comprender mejor su significado.
Las canciones y las letras buenas, sobrevivirán en el tiempo y este tema es un buen ejemplo, porque a pesar del paso de los años, siguen de rabiosa actualidad.
Un abrazo

08 Octubre 2009, 15:50

merhum dijo

Pienso lo mismo, Fernando, y no sé por qué ahora no escucho canciones como esta, ¿es que a los jóvenes cantantes no les importa la guerra? Tal vez sea que yo no los conozco bien, peero creo que si alguno hiciese un himno así, todos los conoceríamos. Hay muchas guerras e injusticias a las que hacerles cantos de protesta. Besos

08 Octubre 2009, 18:21

merhum dijo

En el 62 era muy pequeña, pero cuando se celebró el concierto por Bangladesh ya había escuchado en la radio este tema. Recuerdo leer en el periódico las noticias sobre Vietnam, el movimiento hippie, la movida en San Francisco...Ahora leyendo la letra veo que, como tú dices, está "de rabiosa actualidad", desgraciadamente. Creo que la guerra es un fracaso del ser humano al no ser capaz de llegar a un entendimiento mediante la razón, la lógica. Un abrazo

La cantamos mucho, años después, con la letra cambiada, cuando hicimos ese paso de convertirnos en lo que luego se llamaría "cumbayás" antes de salir de la iglesia y salir a gritar en las calles. Mi agradecimiento a todas, tu entre ellas, las que nos poneis estas canciones, con su letra y traducción, para que las que somos de "francés" vayamos haciendo camino en el inglés con música.

What a Wonderful World

Y como yo soy optimista por naturaleza, tengo, necesito, deseo cambiar a un tema más reconfortante tras el post anterior sobre Albert Camus. Y que mejor que oir a Louis Armstrong y su trompeta con este tema. ¡Disfrutad que la vida es muy corta!
What A Wonderful World! Así creo, quieo creer que hay un mundo, maravilloso, que está ahí, pero que hay mala gente que lo estropea continuamente.
merhum el 29 Oct 2008


I see trees of green........ red roses too
I see em bloom..... for me and for you
And I think to myself.... what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue..... clouds of white
Bright blessed days....dark sacred nights
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world.
The colors of a rainbow.....so pretty ..in the sky
Are also on the faces.....of people ..going by
I see friends shaking hands.....sayin.. how do you do
Theyre really sayin......i love you.
I hear babies cry...... I watch them grow
Theyll learn much more.....than Ill never know
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world
(instrumental break)
The colors of a rainbow.....so pretty ..in the sky
Are there on the faces.....of people ..going by
I see friends shaking hands.....sayin.. how do you do
Theyre really sayin...*spoken*(I ....love....you).
I hear babies cry...... I watch them grow
*spoken*(you know their gonna learn
A whole lot more than Ill never know)
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself .......what a wonderful world.

Louis Armstrong...el genial Louis Armstrong y su maravillosa canción. Hmmmm, si se cumpliera la letra de la misma "we´d be a very different and better world". Es una de las canciones que suelo escuchar en los rutinarios viajes al colegio.
Gracias por ponerla aquí.

Sailing (II)

SAILING por la ría del Eo hasta...¿dónde quieres ir? 

Foto: mmhr, agosto/2009

 

Sailing

I am sailing, I am sailing,
home again 'cross the sea.
I am sailing, stormy waters,
to be near you, to be free.

I am flying, I am flying,
like a bird 'cross the sky.
I am flying, passing high clouds,
to be with you, to be free.
Can you hear me, can you hear me
thro' the dark night, far away,
I am dying, forever trying,
to be with you, who can say.
Can you hear me, can you hear me,
thro' the dark night far away.
I am dying, forever trying,
to be with you, who can say.
We are sailing, we are sailing,
home again 'cross the sea.
We are sailing stormy waters,
to be near you, to be free.
Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free.
Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free,
Oh Lord.

(Letra en español)

Navegando

Estoy navegando , estoy navegando
Estoy volando pasando las nubes altas
Para estar contigo, para ser libre

Puedes oírme, puedes oírme
A través de la noche oscura , lejos
Estoy muriendo, siempre intentando
Estar contigo, quien lo podría decir

Puedes oírme, puedes oírme
A través de la noche oscura , lejos
Estoy muriendo, siempre intentando
Estar contigo, quien lo podría decir

Estamos navegando, estamos navegando
A casa de nuevo, cruzando el mar
Estamos navegando aguas tormentosas
Para estar cerca de ti, para ser libre

Oh Señor, para estar cerca de ti, para ser libre
Oh, Señor , para estar cerca de ti, para ser libre
Oh, Señor.

Yes, I can hear you
But the storms
are my friends
and the dark my light
.
Yes I can hear you,
from the top of the sky,
you are my mermaid,
you deep in my dreams
bu I see you
in the day and the nights.
.
Sometimes,
when the waves
they are not high,
I see your face
´cause
you never want
I feel alone.

Hola merhum: Está visto que uno no puede ausentarse ni un día. He querido escuchar tu canción -que seguro que habré oido mil veces- pero al regresar, me he encontrado o mejor dicho, no he encontrado los altavoces del ordenador, por lo que estoy sin sonido. A ver si mañana lo puedo escuchar desde el trabajo.
PD. En mi blog te he dejado un pequeño "Informe" sobre Innova. Besos: emilio

Mercedes, a las buenas tardes, esta especie de regata tan grata y con el Steward de dj me resulta más que agradable y me evoca una obra maestra del Cat Stevens: "The first cut is the deepest" que en la voz del rockero, logró elevarse hasta las tierras altas de Escocia, por lo menos.
Un abrazo.

Bueno, Fernando, por lo visto os estáis hartando de nieve, ¿no? Aquí ya bajaron las temperaturas. Anteayer cuando salía para el insti había -3º, ayer llovió y amaneció hoy con una niebla muy espesa. Claro que ni punto de comparación con el tiempo vuestro. Besos (¡nos queda poco para las "vacas")

Mariano me alegra que te guste. No recuerdo la que dices de Cat Stevens, la buscaré. Un abrazo

Quizá no me expresé del todo claro, Mercedes. Quiero decir que la canción que menciono es de Cat Stevens, una de sus primeras (y soberbias) en la época de los primeros setenta, cuando a su amada le cubrían los hombros un chal de lana multicolor ("The first cut is the deepest" fue el título de un soberbio doble lp editado en España). En cuanto al vuelo alzado por las escocias, alude a una vesión especial de Rod Steward absolutamente arrebatadora. De nada, you're wellcome.

Esos hombros cubiertos por el chal se pueden observar en la portada, claro está, del susodicho doble lp.
Un abrazo.

Gotta Be Safe (Tig Wired)

Gotta Be Safe
I hear the snap of my harness
I feel the strike on the steel
I'm trustin’ you with my tomorrows
Now tell me how does that feel
I’m going down in a heartbeat
Into the belly of this place
I wear my mask real tight
I’m playin’ it safe
I work with dangerous people,
I deal with dangerous minds
And I don’t take nothin’ for granted
I live in dangerous times.
Now I’ve worked this job by the numbers
So I don’t get buried without a trace
You’ve asked me 20 questions
Now I’m asking you,
Am I gonna be safe?
I don’t know where destiny
Has me headed for
What did you expect from me,
I’m playin’ it safe
That’s still my position
Ain’t lettin’ go of my superstition
I don’t wanna slip don’t wanna argue my case
I’m gonna do everything that it takes to bring it in safe
(I said to myself)
I gotta be safe
(Such a fine request)
Oh, bring it in safe
(I’m watchin’ my back)
I need to be safe
(checkin’ every last crack)
I used to take all the chances
I was a hot headed do what I can
I used to work to hurt
I spread an awful lotta dirt
I believed I really was superman
But now I’ve got a new disposition
I bought in to the old school plan
I'm playin’ hide and seek
For 2K a week
Or I’ll be takin’ home a nuclear tan
I got a woman who loves me
She knows the trials I face
And I know the best time to please her
Is when she’s feelin real safe
(Listen)
Pack it up tighten it down
You pick it up
Put it back where you found it.
I don’t need any grief
From some grunt on the street
Who don’t like the way that I wound it
(No)
I don’t know where destiny
Has me headed for
What did you expect from me,
I’m playin it safe that’s still my position
Hate lettin’ go of my superstition
I don’t wanna slip don’t wanna argue my case
I’m gonna do everything that it takes to bring it in safe
(Lay your bets)
I gotta be safe
(I ain’t done yet)
Oh, bring it in safe
(I’m doing my best)
I need to be safe
(Baby get dressed)
Every night and everyday
(It’s a matter of trust)
Yah, I’ll take It Out safe
(a serious rush)
I’m askin if it’s safe
(From the demons I see)
I love the smile on your face
(It’s killin me)

Shutdown Blues (Tig Wired)

Shutdown Blues
Welders weld, and the fitters fit
Riggers rig, that’s the gist of it
Foremen push their motley crews
Boys all wear the coveralls of blue
They rhythms set everybody knows the tune
Here comes the shutdown blues
Come-a-longs and chain falls too
Sparks they fly from the gouging crew,
Flag men calls to swing out the boom
Boys all wear the coveralls of blue,
The rhythms set everybody knows the tune
For the shutdown blues
I got a buddy who can sing the blues
He drives a Hog sports mean tattoos
If we were careful we could spring him loose
And let him take us where there ain’t no dues
Toxic gas and asbestos dust
The long hard hours is killin’ us
Super-heats and the re-heats too
The boys still wear the coveralls of blue
The rhythms set everybody knows the tune
For the shutdown blues
The steam chief grins ‘cause his job’s on time
Gonna see that unit go back online
Turn a profit in a day or two
And all the boys know just what to do
The rhythms set everybody knows the tune
For the shutdown blues
I paid a visit to the house of ruin
Been here before and it ain’t nothin’ new
I caught the sunrise from the room of blues
And headed back to meet my X ray crew
I could get wired I could get black and blue
I could go crazy by the time were through
But I caught the sunrise like I always do
And headed back to do this job for you.
The x ray crew is shootin’ welds all green
Erectors happy with his mean machine
The moneys good the hole watch through
Do you catch the feeling, you get the meaning to?
The rhythms set, everybody knows the tune
For the shut down here comes the shut down
Ohh the shutdown blues

Brothers in Arms

Dire Straits & Eric Clapton (Mandela Live-88)

Brothers In Arms

These mist covered mountains

Are a home now for me

But my home is the lowlands

And always will be

Some day you'll return to

Your valleys and your farms

And you'll no longer burn

To be brothers in arms

Through these fields of destruction

Baptism of fire

I've watched all your suffering

As the battles raged higher

And though they did hurt me so bad

In the fear and alarm

You did not desert me

My brothers in arms

There's so many different worlds

So many different suns

And we have just one world

But we live in different ones

Now the sun's gone to hell

And the moon's riding high

Let me bid you farewell

Every man has to die

But it's written in the starlight

And every line on your palm

We're fools to make war

On our brothers in arms
