Some people (II)

Some people ride the wave of generosity

Some people ride the wave of mediocrity

Me I ride the wave of never gonna drown

Oh just fooling around

~*~

Now I gots the balloons

And you you gots the mud

And me I gots the snail

And you you gots the stuff

Well you got so much more than I figure was in store

Oh I ain’t foolin no more

(...)

Some people ride the books that tenderize their names

Some people ride the books that bastardize our claims

Me I ride the book that’s sifting in the sand

Aw, some day I’ll understand

Aw, some day I’ll understand

~*~

Some people ride the songs that stay inside our souls

Some people ride the songs that really ain’t songs at all

Me I ride the song that ends right when it starts

They’ll split before they part

Oh they’ll split before they part

("Some people ride teh wave", Devendra Banhart)

Some people (I)

Ooooh

Some people think they're always right

Others are quiet and uptight

Others they seem so very nice nice nice nice nice oh oh

Inside they might feel sad and wrong

Oh no

And only 7 that you like, uh oh

Oh, don't, don't, don't

Get up

I can't see the sunshine

Portogallo, in testa i socialisti

Il partito del premier uscente Josè Socrates non arriva alla maggioranza assoluta

~*~

LISBONA - I socialisti del premier uscente Josè Socrates sono in testa nelle elezioni politiche, ma non ottengono la maggioranza assoluta in parlamento. Dopo lo spoglio della metà delle schede, il Ps del premier Josè Socrates è in vantaggio alle elezioni politiche portoghesi con il 36,8% davanti ai conservatori del Psd di Manuela Ferrera Leite, al 32,4%. In base a questi dati parziali i socialisti non otterrebbero la maggioranza assoluta in parlamento come alle precedenti politiche del 2005. Secondo le prime proiezioni relative ai seggi calcolate sulla base degli exit poll delle due emittenti, il Ps otterrebbe fra 99 e 106 seggi su 230 in parlamento contro fra 69 e 77 ai conservatori del Psd. Al Bloco de Esquerda (estrema sinistra) andrebbero fra 20 e 23 seggi in parlamento, al Cds (destra) fra 18 e 21, alla Cda (comunisti verdi) fra 14 e 16. Il partito di estrema sinistra Bloco de Esquerda (Be) dell'ex-trotzkista Francisco Loucà diventa la terza forza politica in Portogallo alle elezioni legislative, secondo i primi exit poll. Il Be, secondo gli exit delle Tv Rtp e Sic, ottiene fra il 9% e il 12%, superando il Cds, di destra, che è dato tra il 6,5% e il 8,7%, mentre i comunisti verdi della Cda sono indicati fra il 7,7% e il 9,9%.

P.S - Com algumas "gaffes" italianas (CDA!), mas é mais ou menos isso.

Pena o BE afinal não ter sido a 3ª força! Mas já tem muita.. Avante, camaradas! :P

"What's a girl to do" (Bat for Lashes)

We walked arm in arm
But I didn't feel his touch
The desire I'd first tried to hide
That tingling inside was gone
~
And when he asked me
“Do you still love me”
I had to look away
I didn't want to tell him
That my heart grows colder with each day
~
When you've loved so long
That the thrill is gone
And your kisses at night
Are replaced with tears

~
And when your dreams are on
A train to train-wreck town
Then I ask you now
What's a girl to do

~
He said he'd take me away
That we'd work things out
And I didn't want to tell him
But it was then I had to say

~
Over the times we've shared
It's all blackened out
And my bat lightning heart
Wants to fly away
~
When you've loved so long
That the thrill is gone
And your kisses at night
Are replaced with tears

~*~
And when your dreams are on
A train to train-wreck town
Then I ask you now
What's a girl to do
~*~
What's a girl to do
What's a girl to do
What's a girl to do

Após 2 anos, vejo finalmente o último filme de Pascale Ferran. Delicioso. Enternecedor. Quente.
Disseste-me um dia: "parece que o filme foi feito para nós". Não me pareceu. Nenhum deles somos nós... Acho que se calhar nunca vou perceber certas coisas, apesar de procurar respostas. It's life!

Although our days of living life together

Of living life together are over"

(such a ) FOOL (ishhhh)

*

You told me that you'd stay with me

And shelter me forever

That was a hard promise to keep

I can't blame you for the bad weather

~

After all that has been said and done

I won't ask you where you're going

Don't keep in touch, I don't miss you much

Except sometimes early in the morning

~*~

Now use your silver tongue once more

There's one thing that I’d like to know

Did you ever believe the lies that you told

Did you earn the fool's gold that you gave me

~*~

I forgive you wanting to be free

I realize you long to wander

And I sympathize with your roving eyes

I just can't forgive your bad manners

~

Now use your silver tongue once more

There's one thing that I’d like to know

Did you ever believe the lies that you told

Did you earn the fool's gold that you gave me
