    Nekoliko za pamcenje...A koje su vase omiljene?

    Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
    You can hear the boats go by
    You can spend the night beside her
    And you know that she's half crazy
    But that's why you want to be there
    And she feeds you tea and oranges
    That come all the way from China
    And just when you mean to tell her
    That you have no love to give her
    Then she gets you on her wavelength
    And she lets the river answer
    That you've always been her lover
    And you want to travel with her
    And you want to travel blind
    And you know that she will trust you
    For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.
    And Jesus was a sailor
    When he walked upon the water
    And he spent a long time watching
    From his lonely wooden tower
    And when he knew for certain
    Only drowning men could see him
    He said "All men will be sailors then
    Until the sea shall free them"
    But he himself was broken
    Long before the sky would open
    Forsaken, almost human
    He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
    And you want to travel with him
    And you want to travel blind
    And you think maybe you'll trust him
    For he's touched your perfect body with his mind.

    Now Suzanne takes your hand
    And she leads you to the river
    She is wearing rags and feathers
    From Salvation Army counters
    And the sun pours down like honey
    On our lady of the harbour
    And she shows you where to look
    Among the garbage and the flowers
    There are heroes in the seaweed
    There are children in the morning
    They are leaning out for love
    And they will lean that way forever
    While Suzanne holds the mirror
    And you want to travel with her
    And you want to travel blind
    And you know that you can trust her
    For she's touched your perfect body with her mind.

    I'm your man

    If you want a lover
    I'll do anything you ask me to
    And if you want another kind of love
    I'll wear a mask for you
    If you want a partner
    Take my hand
    Or if you want to strike me down in anger
    Here I stand
    I'm your man

    If you want a boxer
    I will step into the ring for you
    And if you want a doctor
    I'll examine every inch of you
    If you want a driver
    Climb inside
    Or if you want to take me for a ride
    You know you can
    I'm your man

    Ah, the moon's too bright
    The chain's too tight
    The beast won't go to sleep
    I've been running through these promises to you
    That I made and I could not keep
    Ah but a man never got a woman back
    Not by begging on his knees
    Or I'd crawl to you baby
    And I'd fall at your feet
    And I'd howl at your beauty
    Like a dog in heat
    And I'd claw at your heart
    And I'd tear at your sheet
    I'd say please, please
    I'm your man

    And if you've got to sleep
    A moment on the road
    I will steer for you
    And if you want to work the street alone
    I'll disappear for you
    If you want a father for your child
    Or only want to walk with me a while
    Across the sand
    I'm your man

    If you want a lover
    I'll do anything you ask me to
    And if you want another kind of love
    I'll wear a mask for you

    A thousand kisses deep

    The ponies run, the girls are young,
    The odds are there to beat.
    You win a while, and then its done
    Your little winning streak.
    And summoned now to deal
    With your invincible defeat,
    You live your life as if its real,
    A Thousand Kisses Deep.

    Im turning tricks, Im getting fixed,
    Im back on Boogie Street.
    You lose your grip, and then you slip
    Into the Masterpiece.
    And maybe I had miles to drive,
    And promises to keep:
    You ditch it all to stay alive,
    A Thousand Kisses Deep.

    And sometimes when the night is slow,
    The wretched and the meek,
    We gather up our hearts and go,
    A Thousand Kisses Deep.

    Confined to sex, we pressed against
    The limits of the sea:
    I saw there were no oceans left
    For scavengers like me.
    I made it to the forward deck.
    I blessed our remnant fleet
    And then consented to be wrecked,
    A Thousand Kisses Deep.

    Im turning tricks, Im getting fixed,
    Im back on Boogie Street.
    I guess they wont exchange the gifts
    That you were meant to keep.
    And quiet is the thought of you,
    The file on you complete,
    Except what we forgot to do,
    A Thousand Kisses Deep.

    And sometimes when the night is slow,
    The wretched and the meek,
    We gather up our hearts and go,
    A Thousand Kisses Deep.

    The ponies run, the girls are young,
    The odds are there to beat . . .

    First we take Manhattan

    (Radio announcer's voice)
    Was die Attentter betrifft, die in Berlin den Anschlag auf die Deutsch-Arabische Gesellschaft verbt haben, ist die Polizei einen Schritt weiter gekommen. Die jetzt nach dem Anschlag...

    They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom
    For trying to change the system from within
    I'm coming now, I'm coming to reward them
    First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

    I'm guided by a signal in the heavens
    I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin
    I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons
    First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

    I'd really like to live beside you, baby
    I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
    But you see that line there moving through the station?
    I told you, I told you, told you, I was one of those

    Ah you loved me as a loser, but now you're worried that I just might win
    You know the way to stop me, but you don't have the discipline
    How many nights I prayed for this, to let my work begin
    First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

    I don't like your fashion business mister
    And I don't like these drugs that keep you thin
    I don't like what happened to my sister
    First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

    I'd really like to live beside you, baby ...

    And I thank you for those items that you sent me
    The monkey and the plywood violin
    I practiced every night, now I'm ready
    First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

    I am guided

    Ah remember me, I used to live for music
    Remember me, I brought your groceries in
    Well it's Father's Day and everybody's wounded
    First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

    Hey, that's no way to say goodbye

    I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm,
    your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm,
    yes, many loved before us, I know that we are not new,
    in city and in forest they smiled like me and you,
    but now it's come to distances and both of us must try,
    your eyes are soft with sorrow,
    Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.

    I'm not looking for another as I wander in my time,
    walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme
    you know my love goes with you as your love stays with me,
    it's just the way it changes, like the shoreline and the sea,
    but let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't untie,
    your eyes are soft with sorrow,
    Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.

    Winter Lady

    Trav'ling lady, stay awhile
    until the night is over.
    I'm just a station on your way,
    I know I'm not your lover.
    Well I lived with a child of snow
    when I was a soldier,
    and I fought every man for her
    until the nights grew colder.

    She used to wear her hair like you
    except when she was sleeping,
    and then she'd weave it on a loom
    of smoke and gold and breathing.

    And why are you so quiet now
    standing there in the doorway?
    You chose your journey long before
    you came upon this highway.

    Trav'ling lady stay awhile
    until the night is over.
    I'm just a station on your way,
    I know I'm not your lover.

    Be for real

    Are you back in my life to stay
    Or is it just for today
    Oh that you're gonna need me?
    If it's a thrill you're looking for
    Honey, I'm flexible. Oh, yeah.

    Just be for real won't you, Baby
    Be for real oh, Baby
    You see I, I don't want to be hurt by love again

    So you see I'm not naive.
    I just would like to believe
    Ah what you tell me.
    So don't give me the world today
    And tomorrow take it away.
    Don't do that to me, darling.

    Just be for real won't you, Baby
    Be for real won't you, Baby

    Been hurt so many times see I, I don't want to be hurt by love again.

    (I don't give a damn about the truth, Baby
    Except for the naked truth. Oh yeah)
    Just be for real won't you, Baby
    Be for real won't you, Baby

    No, no, no, no
    It's just that I, I don't want to be hurt by love again.

    Ain't no cure for love

    I loved you for a long, long time
    I know this love is real
    It don't matter how it all went wrong
    That don't change the way I feel
    And I can't believe that time's
    Gonna heal this wound I'm speaking of
    There ain't no cure,
    There ain't no cure,
    There ain't no cure for love.

    I'm aching for you baby
    I can't pretend I'm not
    I need to see you naked
    In your body and your thought
    I've got you like a habit
    And I'll never get enough
    There ain't no cure,
    There ain't no cure,
    There ain't no cure for love

    There ain't no cure for love
    There ain't no cure for love
    All the rocket ships are climbing through the sky
    The holy books are open wide
    The doctors working day and night
    But they'll never ever find that cure for love
    There ain't no drink no drug
    (Ah tell them, angels)
    There's nothing pure enough to be a cure for love

    I see you in the subwayand I see you on the bus
    I see you lying down with me, I see you waking up
    I see your hand, I see your hair
    Your bracelets and your brush
    And I call to you, I call to you
    But I don't call soft enough
    There ain't no cure,
    There ain't no cure,
    There ain't no cure for love

    I walked into this empty church I had no place else to go
    When the sweetest voice I ever heard, whispered to my soul
    I don't need to be forgiven for loving you so much
    It's written in the scriptures
    It's written there in blood
    I even heard the angels declare it from above
    There ain't no cure,
    There ain't no cure,
    There ain't no cure for love

    There ain't no cure for love
    There ain't no cure for love
    All the rocket ships are climbing through the sky
    The holy books are open wide
    The doctors working day and night
    But they'll never ever find that cure,
    That cure for love

    Bird on the wire

    Like a bird on the wire,
    Like a drunk in a midnight choir
    I have tried in my way to be free.
    Like a worm on a hook,
    Like a knight from some old fashioned book
    I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
    If I, if I have been unkind,
    I hope that you can just let it go by.
    If I, if I have been untrue
    it's just that I thought a lover had to be some kind of liar too.

    Like a baby, stillborn,
    Like a beast with his horn
    I have torn everyone who reached out for me.
    But I swear by this song
    And by all that I have done wrong
    I will make it all up to thee.

    Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry no more. It's over now, it's over babe, don't cry no more. I say don't cry, don't cry, don't cry anymore. It's over. It's finished. It's completed. It has been paid for.

    Oh like a bird on the wire,
    Like a drunk in a midnight choir
    I have tried in my way to be free.

    Always

    (Oh friends, ... don't matter if you're a man or a woman.
    If you're in love with somebody,
    these are the words that you got to learn to say.
    Now listen carefully. Here it comes...)

    I'll be loving you always
    with a love that's true, always
    When the thing you've planned
    needs my helping hand,
    I will understand, always, always

    Days may not be fair, always

    The days may not be fair, always
    Yeah but that's when I'll be there, always
    Not for just a second, or a minute, or an hour,
    Not for just a weekend and a shake down in the shower,
    Not for just the summer and the winter going sour,
    But always, always, always

    (Ok if you don't want to quit, let's try it one more time)

    I'll be loving you, always
    with a love that's true, always.
    When the thing you've planned

    DANCE ME TO THE END OF LOVE

    Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
    Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
    Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
    Dance me to the end of love
    Dance me to the end of love
    Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
    Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
    Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
    Dance me to the end of love
    Dance me to the end of love

    Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
    Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
    We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above
    Dance me to the end of love
    Dance me to the end of love

    Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
    Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
    Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
    Dance me to the end of love

    Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
    Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
    Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove
    Dance me to the end of love
    Dance me to the end of love
    Dance me to the end of love...

    Stories Of The Street


    The stories of the street are mine,the Spanish voices laugh.
    The Cadillacs go creeping now through the night and the poison gas,
    and I lean from my window sill in this old hotel I chose,
    yes one hand on my suicide, one hand on the rose.
    I know you've heard it's over now and war must surely come,
    the cities they are broke in half and the middle men are gone.
    But let me ask you one more time, O children of the dusk,
    All these hunters who are shrieking now oh do they speak for us?

    And where do all these highways go, now that we are free?
    Why are the armies marching still that were coming home to me?
    O lady with your legs so fine O stranger at your wheel,
    You are locked into your suffering and your pleasures are the seal.

    The age of lust is giving birth, and both the parents ask
    the nurse to tell them fairy tales on both sides of the glass.
    And now the infant with his cord is hauled in like a kite,
    and one eye filled with blueprints, one eye filled with night.

    O come with me my little one, we will find that farm
    and grow us grass and apples there and keep all the animals warm.
    And if by chance I wake at night and I ask you who I am,
    O take me to the slaughterhouse, I will wait there with the lamb.

    With one hand on the hexagram and one hand on the girl
    I balance on a wishing well that all men call the world.
    We are so small between the stars, so large against the sky,
    and lost among the subway crowds I try to catch your eye.

    CLOSING TIME

    Ah we're drinking and we're dancing
    and the band is really happening
    and the Johnny Walker wisdom running high
    And my very sweet companion
    she's the Angel of Compassion
    she's rubbing half the world against her thigh
    And every drinker every dancer
    lifts a happy face to thank her
    the fiddler fiddles something so sublime
    all the women tear their blouses off
    and the men they dance on the polka-dots
    and it's partner found, it's partner lost
    and it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops:
    it's CLOSING TIME
    Yeah the women tear their blouses off
    and the men they dance on the polka-dots
    and it's partner found, it's partner lost
    and it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops:
    it's CLOSING TIME

    Ah we're lonely, we're romantic
    and the cider's laced with acid
    and the Holy Spirit's crying, "Where's the beef?"
    And the moon is swimming naked
    and the summer night is fragrant
    with a mighty expectation of relief
    So we struggle and we stagger
    down the snakes and up the ladder
    to the tower where the blessed hours chime
    and I swear it happened just like this:
    a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
    the Gates of Love they budged an inch
    I can't say much has happened since
    but CLOSING TIME

    I swear it happened just like this:
    a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
    the Gates of Love they budged an inch
    I can't say much has happened since
    CLOSING TIME

    I loved you for your beauty
    but that doesn't make a fool of me:
    you were in it for your beauty too
    and I loved you for your body
    there's a voice that sounds like God to me
    declaring, declaring, declaring that your body's really you
    And I loved you when our love was blessed
    and I love you now there's nothing left
    but sorrow and a sense of overtime
    and I missed you since the place got wrecked
    And I just don't care what happens next
    looks like freedom but it feels like death
    it's something in between, I guess
    it's CLOSING TIME

    Yeah I missed you since the place got wrecked
    By the winds of change and the weeds of sex
    looks like freedom but it feels like death
    it's something in between, I guess
    it's CLOSING TIME

    Yeah we're drinking and we're dancing
    but there's nothing really happening
    and the place is dead as Heaven on a Saturday night
    And my very close companion
    gets me fumbling gets me laughing
    she's a hundred but she's wearing
    something tight
    and I lift my glass to the Awful Truth
    which you can't reveal to the Ears of Youth
    except to say it isn't worth a dime
    And the whole damn place goes crazy twice
    and it's once for the devil and once for Christ
    but the Boss don't like these dizzy heights
    we're busted in the blinding lights,
    busted in the blinding lights
    of CLOSING TIME

    The whole damn place goes crazy twice
    and it's once for the devil and once for Christ
    but the Boss don't like these dizzy heights
    we're busted in the blinding lights,
    busted in the blinding lights
    of CLOSING TIME

    Oh the women tear their blouses off
    and the men they dance on the polka-dots
    It's CLOSING TIME
    And it's partner found, it's partner lost
    and it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops
    It's CLOSING TIME
    I swear it happened just like this:
    a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
    It's CLOSING TIME

    I love you now there's nothing left

    THE PARTISAN



    When they poured across the border
    I was cautioned to surrender,
    this I could not do;
    I took my gun and vanished.
    I have changed my name so often,
    I've lost my wife and children
    but I have many friends,
    and some of them are with me.
    An old woman gave us shelter,
    kept us hidden in the garret,
    then the soldiers came;
    she died without a whisper.
    There were three of us this morning
    I'm the only one this evening
    but I must go on;
    the frontiers are my prison.
    Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
    through the graves the wind is blowing,
    freedom soon will come;
    then we'll come from the shadows.
    Les Allemands e'taient chez moi,
    [ The Germans were at my home
    ils me dirent, "Signe toi," They said, "Sign yourself,"
    mais je n'ai pas peur; But I am not afraid
    j'ai repris mon arme. I have retaken my weapon.
    J'ai change' cent fois de nom, I have
    changed names a hundred times
    j'ai perdu femme et enfants I have
    lost wife and children
    mais j'ai tant d'amis; But I have so many friends
    j'ai la France entie`re. I have all of France
    Un vieil homme dans un grenier An old man, in an attic
    pour la nuit nous a cache', Hid us for the night
    les Allemands l'ont pris; The Germans captured him
    il est mort sans surprise. He died without surprise. ]
    Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
    through the graves the wind is blowing,
    freedom soon will come;
    then we'll come from the shadows.

    Story Of Isaac



    The door it opened slowly,

    my father he came in,

    I was nine years old.

    And he stood so tall above me,

    his blue eyes they were shining

    and his voice was very cold.

    He said, "I've had a vision

    and you know I'm strong and holy,

    I must do what I've been told."

    So he started up the mountain,

    I was running, he was walking,

    and his axe was made of gold.



    Well, the trees they got much smaller,

    the lake a lady's mirror,

    we stopped to drink some wine.

    Then he threw the bottle over.

    Broke a minute later

    and he put his hand on mine.

    Thought I saw an eagle

    but it might have been a vulture,

    I never could decide.

    Then my father built an altar,

    he looked once behind his shoulder,

    he knew I would not hide.



    You who build these altars now

    to sacrifice these children,

    you must not do it anymore.

    A scheme is not a vision

    and you never have been tempted

    by a demon or a god.

    You who stand above them now,

    your hatchets blunt and bloody,

    you were not there before,

    when I lay upon a mountain

    and my father's hand was trembling

    with the beauty of the word.



    And if you call me brother now,

    forgive me if I inquire,

    "Just according to whose plan?"

    When it all comes down to dust

    I will kill you if I must,

    I will help you if I can.

    When it all comes down to dust

    I will help you if I must,

    I will kill you if I can.

    And mercy on our uniform,

    man of peace or man of war,

    the peacock spreads his fan.
    Covek je sinteza beskonacnosti i konacnosti,prolaznog i vecnog, slobode i nuznosti, kratko: sinteza.
