My Favorite Song Lyrics

[Птиц]

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,
oh joyfully, oh playfully watching me.
But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible,
logical, oh responsible, practical.
And then they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
oh clinical, oh intellectual, cynical.

There are times when all the world's asleep,
the questions run too deep
for such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am
I said now watch what you say they'll be calling you a radical,
a liberal, oh fanatical, criminal.
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
acceptable, respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable!
Oh Take it take it yeah!

But at night, when all the world's asleep,
the questions run so deep
for such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am,
Who I am

Who knows who's so logical.

(c) Supertramp, "The Logical Song"

я тащуся от Child of Vision, но BIA не самый лучший их альбом, к тому же две несчастные радио-песни замучены до смерти

It's My Life" Bon Jovi

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud

It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W75QrSNj82o)
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life

This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down (http://www.indie-music.com/modules.p...print&sid=1369)
Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky
Got to make your own breaks

[ija]

Climbing up Mt. History through the clouds and rain
Seems like ages that I've had to roam
Push ahead then trip and fall then get back up again
Looking for the way that leads back home
Looking for the Bright Road
Bright Road

Two roads diverged deep in the woods and I heard the poet say
Which one you choose makes all the difference
But when a flower greets the sun it can only bloom one way
And it's not a matter of coincidence
Bright Road
Bright Road

One road promised me delights
The other misery
But neither of those roads were bright
So they led to the same destiny

Trying to find a shortcut home, I crossed a living stream
But I slipped and fell while stepping on a stone
My wish to rise above it all seemed like a hollow dream
The icy water soaked me to the bone
Bright Road
Bright Road

The current took me down and down, it didn't help to swim
I felt anger, pride and jealousy and greed
The worldly pleasures I indulged on every passing whim
And I strove against my brothers to succeed
Looking for the Bright Road
Bright Road

The more I struggled to get free
The tighter were my chains
The way home kept eluding me
The more I sought to gain

The sun had gone down in the West, I sat down and cried
I realized I'd never be released
From the mess I'd made by doing things without a proper guide
Then a golden beam of light came from the East
Showing me the Bright Road
Bright Road

The Road to Life stretched out for miles, I wiped away the tears
It was smooth and straight but narrow as a thread
It was always right before my eyes, all those painful years
I couldn't see it for the notions in my head
Bright Road
Bright Road

Every road I thought was bright
Had a dark side too
Everything I thought was right
Turned out was just half true

Once you find the way back home no matter what transpires
Keep walking on that road and do not stray
Be truthful, kind and tolerant, restrain selfish desires
And choose a noble role in this great play
Bright Road
Bright Road

Кино — «Муравейник»

Начинается новый день,
И машины туда-сюда,
Раз уж солнцу вставать не лень,
И для нас, значит, ерунда.
Муравейник живёт,
Кто-то лапку сломал - не в счёт,
А до свадьбы заживёт,
А помрёт, так помрёт.

Я не люблю, когда мне врут,
Но от правды я тоже устал,
Я пытался найти приют,
Говорят, что плохо искал.
И я не знаю каков процент
Сумасшедших на данный час,
Но если верить глазам и ушам -
Больше в несколько раз.

И мы могли бы вести войну
Против тех, кто против нас,
Так как те, кто против тех, кто против нас,
Не справляются с ними без нас.
Наше будущее - туман,
В нашем прошлом то ад, то рай,
Наши деньги не лезут в карман,
Вот и утро, вставай.

(c) Supertramp, "The Logical Song"

Exellent. Supertramp is my of my favorite groups. But I really love this one:

"They say that these are not the best of times
But they're the only times I've ever known
And I believe there is a time for meditation
In cathedrals of our own
Now I have seen that sad surrender in my lovers' eyes
I can only stand apart and sympathize
For we are always what our situations hand us
It's either sadness or euphoria

And so we'll argue and we'll compromise
And realize that nothing's ever changed
For all our mutual experience
Our separate conclusions are the same
Now we are forced to recognize our inhumanity
A reason coexists with our insanity
And so we choose between reality and madness
It's either sadness or euphoria

How thoughtlessly we dissipate our energies
Perhaps we don't fulfill each other's fantasies
So we stand upon the ledges of our lives
With our respective similarities
It's either sadness or euphoria"

Billy Joel. "Summer Highland Falls". Great piano there, too.

Mylene Farmer - California

Aéroport, aérogare
Mais pour tout l'or m'en aller
C'est le blues, l'coup d'cafard
Le check out assuré
Vienne la nuit et sonne l'heure
Et moi je meurs
Entre apathie et pesanteur
Où je demeure
Changer d'optique, prendre l'exit
Et m'envoyer en Amérique
Sex appeal, c'est Sunset
C'est Marlboro qui me sourit
Mon amour, mon moi, je
Sais qu'il existe
La chaleur de l'abandon
C'est comme une symphonie

C'est sexy le ciel de Californie (Это эротическое небо Калифорнии)
Sous ma peau j'ai L.A. en overdose (Под моей кожей у меня L.A. в передозировке)
So sexy le spleen d'un road movie (So эротический сплин road movie)
Dans l'rétro ma vie qui s'anamorphose (В зеркале заднего вида моя жизнь, которая anamorphose)

[Птиц]

Ах, мразь телевизионная,
Студийная, бесстыжая,
Родильное мурло,
Мораль дивизионная,
Лудильное престижие,
Рутинное урло,
Суконное посконие,
Квасное беззаконие,
Мышиная возня.
Власть золотопогония,
Страстного потогония,
Доносы да резня.

А мы не ждали перемен
И с веком шествуя не в ногу,
Но, совершенствуя дорогу,
Благословляли свой удел.
Да, мы не ждали перемен.

Кому быть виноватому?
Партийцу ль, вороватому,
Писателю ль, вруну,
Рабочему ль, молчальнику,
Крестьянину ль, печальнику,
Шуту ль, говоруну.
Не каятся б до боли нам,
Кусавшим и укусанным -
Народный высший суд.
Не Андерса да Болена,
Так Шевчука с Бутусовым
С базара понесут.

Да, мы не ждали зов трубы,
Мы были клапаны и трубы,
И в нас не чьи-то дули губы,
А ветры духа и судьбы,
Да, мы не ждали зов трубы.

Ах, время наше сучее,
Летучее, ползучее,
И прочее жулье,
И партии разученны,
И рукава засученны -
Готовы под ружье.
Колонны перестроенны,
Удвоенны, утроенны,
Штабные штабеля.
И на вершине случая,
В тоске благополучия
Цепные кобеля.

Да, мы не ждали перемен,
И вам их тоже не дождаться,
Но надо, братцы, удержаться
От пустословия арен
И просто самовыражаться,
Не ожидая перемен.

(ц Градский)
