Current 93/Nurse with Wound – Mothering Sunday-legion legion-

After the bed and the death swirls and the purpureal magnificence of the psychopomp who came and the sun who ran with joy twisting all the red green leaves i reach by eye through window pane and saw you gasp out your life in starts: ³are you a man or are you a mouse?²: what strange last words to leave the lips of one who may be damned or may be saved or may be lost what in the heat of your mind¹s last seizure did you see? or did you mean? where the night was innoculated by legion the world is legion: everywhere. in the last lick of night, the last taste of black on my lips, pink swizzle foam as the helicopters stutter through the long corridors: down we go: we¹re in london: we are legion: the sickness that waits in the heart or in the hole: and the lights are always on in your eyes but in your heart they were clicked suddenly shut: now as the sunset coughdrop red folds the birds into the squidinkblue sky always in the night when the lights are bright and his voice calls for the police, or for the british legion: all nothing drifting through you they were: there is no-one to come now the time is nowhere, and we are legion: your heaven or your hell awaits mothering sunday: after the service: and the vicar shakes hands with you all and if you but knew he is waving goodbye legion: someday: today: legion check the hands of the watch for time, for time, and do not say ³this time is mine²: this is the night; the night and you: your meeting with the dreaming faces of the sea and the moon: all shine; all shine: someone bright appears and says: ³your time is mine

Kurt Vile «Baby’s Arms»

There’s been but one true love
In my baby’s arms, in my baby’s arms
And I got the hands to hold on to them

I get sick of just about everyone
And I hide in my baby’s arms
Hide in my baby’s arms
‘Cause except for her you know
As I’ve implied

I would never, ever, ever be alone
‘Cause it’s all in my baby’s hands
Shining, shining secret stones
In my baby’s hands, in my baby’s hands

I get sick of just about everyone
And I hide in my baby’s arms
Treat myself just like a town fellowmen
I hide in my baby’s hands
Hide in my baby’s hand

‘Cause except for her
There’s just nothing to latch on to
Yeah, yeah, yeah

There’s been but one true love
In my baby’s arms, in my baby’s arms
In my baby’s arms, in my baby’s arms
My baby’s arms, in my baby’s arms

Oh yeah, oh yeah, my baby’s arms

ΤΖΕΝΗ ΚΑΡΕΖΗ – Χάθηκα μέσα στη ζωή μου

Αύγουστος, φώτα στην παραλία
τα πλοία φεύγουν για τα νησιά.
Φεύγουν οι φίλοι, φεύγουν τα πλοία.
Με γέλασες και είναι αργά.

Ήρθε ο Σεπτέμβρης, ήρθε ο χειμώνας
στην παραλία τη σκοτεινή.
Χάθηκα μέσα στη ζωή μου,
χαθηκες μέσα στη βροχή…

dead and lovely tom waits

She was a middle class girl
She was in over her head
She thought she would
Stand up in the deep end

He had a bullet proof smile
He had money to burn
She thought she had the moon
In her pocket

But now she’s dead
She’s so dead
Forever dead and lovely now

I’ve always been told to
Remember this…
Don’t let a fool kiss you
Never marry for love

He was hard to impress
He knew everyone’s secrets
He wore her on his arm
Just like jewelry

He never gave but he got
He kept her on a leash
He’s not the kind of wheel
You fall asleep at

But now she’s dead
Forever dead
Forever dead and lovely now

Come closer, look deeper
You’ve fallen fast
Just like a plane on a
Stormy sea

She made up someone to be
She made up somewhere to be from
This is one business in the
World where that’s no
Problem at all

Everything that is left
They will only plow under
Soon every one you know
Will be gone

And now she’s dead
Forever dead
Forever dead and lovely now

Now she’s dead
Forever dead
Forever dead and lovely now

I’ve always been told to
Remember this…
Don’t let a kiss fool you
Never marry for love

Everything has its price [2x]
What’s more romantic
Then dying in the moonlight?

Now they’re all watching the sea
What’s lost can never be broken
Her roots were sweet
But they were so shallow

And now she’s dead
Forever dead
Forever dead and lovely now

And now she’s dead
Forever dead
And she’s so dead and lovely now
