Dead Can Dance - Indoctrination (A Design for Living)

In times of great vexation when one must choose between what's right and wrong
Freedom, so they say, amounts to the choices you have made.
Through all the arbitrary rationale concerning liberty.
Freedom, I must say, exists within unconditioned minds.
Reason has come of age.
How can you be satisfied with things the way they are,
when all that surrounds us now and so much more remains inside the keeper's dark embrace.
The insatiable thirst for power has made;
Idols out of mortals,
Gods into clay,
Soldiers into heroes,
children into slaves of damned desire,
their hopes betrayed.
Who will suffer their laws that say you can't decide
your child's education unless you pay the price.
Who will suffer the laws
Who will suffer their minds
Who will suffer their words
Who will suffer their designs.

Pink Turns Blue - Catholic Sunday ...natürlich Winken

And now I'm happy willing to die
but still fond of my life
this is a symbol for taking up my cross I had such confidence in myself that day
This is art of war
I'll undoubtely be burned alive
failure makes things seem stupid
That is what I have come to
watch your heart being torn
Without staying to look behind
I'm a scoundrel ain't I?
Sucking your life blood
you shall live eternally
In my heart
I say.

It was the wound to my pride that made me fall ill
I was upon the point of killing myself a time
I like to suffer that's my role
you say
I'm going to run away
I'm going to run away

On Catholic Sunday

Watching my heart being torn
yes I wanted your tears
Watching you all the night
I'm running home now
Your eyes will follow me to the end of earth
Among the ruins
engaged at seeing my own blood flow
I'm not able to control my mind
Have been getting too full of bile
as most people do their first love
Collection of false maxims and dull commonplace
time has come to unravel the know
A clean break
I thought you had died
Is there really to find such strength in your will to live that life
Despite your melancholic eyes
there's something wrong
inside
oh what a vile

On Catholic Sunday

dazu noch...

Kashmir - Ether
Depeche Mode - The Bottom Line (Bird voll und ganz zustimme)

Komisch, dass noch keiner FTEOTDGS genannt hat. Einer der besten Texte. Und Charlotte sometimes ist ein sehr besonderer und wichtiger Text für mich.
Also für mich gibt es von Cure zuviele, als das ich sie hier alle nennen wollte. Die gesamte Dizzy natürlich und die Wish. Viele von der Kiss me (v.a. How beautiful you are >> Baudelaire...) uuuuuund, hm, naja und fast alle anderen... Mr. Green

Von REM gibt es schöne Lyrics (soweit man Michael verstehen kann)
Genesis (die Texte auf der Duke sind total wie Cure Texte)
Marillion (Misplaced Childhood, auf der Platte immer die erste Seite gehört, stundenlang)
Placebo *ganzviele*
Joy Division (Love will tear us apart >>why is the bedroom so cold...)
Depeche Mode
Somebody, Shake the disease, Blasphemous Rumours, Enjoy the silence, Judas, One caress, Behind the wheel, It´s no good, Precious, Nothings impossible Mr. Green

Erasure (Piano Song, Drama)
Silke Bischoff (On the other side, i´ll see you again..)
The Smith (Take me out tonight....)
Anne Clark (Our darkness)
The Stranglers (Always the sun)
and many many more...

mhmm..von Cure gibts soviele klasse Songtexte..spontan würd ich jetzt auch FTEOTDGS,The Figurehead,a strange Day,Disintegration,Plainsong,The same deep water as you etc.pp.usw. sagen..sind einfach zuviele herausragende Songs.. Winken

bei DM fallen mir von den ,für mich herrausragenden Texten ,
erstaunlicherweise spontan ausschliesslich Songtexte von dem von mir zugegebenermaßen vernachlässigtem Album "Ultra" ein..Barrel of a Gun,The love thieves,Home ,Useless und ok...Clean ist ein Meisterwerk..
U2..da gibts für mich eigentlich auch viel zu viele herausragende Songs..One,Until the End of the world,so cruel,Love is blindness ,Sometimes you can't make it on your own...etc.pp. usw...U2 ist für mich übrigens eine der ganz ,ganz wenigen Bands welche es seit über 25 Jahren geschafft haben auf dem gleichen hohen Niveau zu bleiben..und trotzdem erfinden sie sich immer wieder neu..

das wars erstmal spontan..

Hab das Buch schon seit Ewigkeiten, aber bin nie über die erste Seite hinausgekommen. Winken

Okay, danke für den Hinweis. Winken

Aber bei How beautiful you are ist das ganz anders, finde ich. Bei Killing an arab passt die Story für mich nicht unbedingt zu den Lyrics, aber trotzdem gefällt mir beides.

Ja, ich hab wohl mal irgendwo eine Zusammenfassung der Story gelesen. Aber ich hab trotzdem meinen eigenen Zugang und meine Erinnerungen mit dem Song und das ist auch unverändert. Trotzdem muß ich das Buch nicht lesen, ist ja von Anfang an icht sehr aufregend. Es ist eben ein Kinderbuch und dass es Robert als Inspiration für ein Traumlied gegeben hat, reicht doch.

Bird Mad Girl ist meines Wissens nach noch angelehnt an ein Gedicht von Dylan Thomas... jedenfalls kann man eine Formulierung daraus herleiten Mr. Green

Love in the asylum

A stranger has come
To share my room in the house not right in the head,
A girl mad as birds

Bolting the night of the door with her arm her plume.
Strait in the mazed bed
She deludes the heaven-proof house with entering clouds

Yet she deludes with walking the nightmarish room,
At large as the dead,
Or rides the imagined oceans of the male wards.

She has come possessed
Who admits the delusive light through the bouncing wall,
Possessed by the skies

She sleeps in the narrow trough yet she walks the dust
Yet raves at her will
On the madhouse boards worn thin by my walking tears.

And taken by light in her arms at long and dear last
I may without fail
Suffer the first vision that set fire to the stars.

Oh du kennst den sogar! Habe von ihm erst durch Robert erfahren und mal geguckt was der so machte... Das von dir erwähnte Gedicht kenne ich auch... soweit ich mich erinnere hat es mich auch angesprochen, vor allem die letzte strophe und zeile ist hängen geblieben... und es ist auch zugänglicher als obiges, finde ich Winken

One cold damp evening
The world stood still
I watched as I held my breath
A silhouette I thought I knew
Came through
And someone spoke to me
Whispered in my ear
This fantasy's for you
Fantasies are "in" this year

My whole life passed before my eyes
I thought
What they say is true
I shed my skin and my disguise
And cold, numb and naked
I emerged from my cocoon
And a half remembered tune
Played softly in my head

Then he turned smiling
And said
I realise a miracle is due
I dedicate this melody to you
But is this the stuff dreams are made of?
If this is the stuff dreams are made of
No wonder I feel like I'm floating on air
Everywhere
It feels like I'm everywhere
It's like you fail to make the connection
You know how vital it is
Or when something slips through your fingers
You know how precious it is
Well you reach the point where you know
It's only your second skin
Someone's banging on my door

Culture sucks down words
Itemise loathing and feed yourself smiles
Organise your safe tribal war
Hurt maim kill and enslave the ghetto

Each day living out a lie
Life sold cheaply forever, ever, ever

Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness

Life lies a slow suicide
Orthodox dreams and symbolic myths
From feudal serf to spender
This wonderful world of purchase power

Just like lungs sucking on air
Survivals natural as sorrow, sorrow, sorrow

Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness

All we want from you are the kicks you've given us
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us

Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness

Drive away and it's the same
Everywhere death row, everyone's a victim
Your joys are counterfeit
This happiness corrupt political shit

Living life like a comatose
Ego loaded and swallow, swallow, swallow

Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness everlasting nothingness

"Roses In The Hospital"

Roses in the hospital
Try to pull my fingernails out
Roses in the hospital
I want to cling to something soft
Roses in the hospital
Progressing like a constant war
Roses in the hospital
There's no one to feel ashamed for

All we wanted was a home
Now we are so strung out we wanna own
Like a leaf in the autumn breeze
Like a flood in January
We don't want your fucking love

Roses in the hospital
Stub cigarettes out on my arm
Roses in the hospital
Want to feel something of value
Roses in the hospital
Nothing really makes me happy
Roses in the hospital
Heroin is just too trendy

All we wanted was a home
Now we are so strung out we wanna own
Like a leaf in the autumn breeze
Like a flood in January
We don't want your fucking love

Roses in the hospital
This century achieved so much
Roses in the hospital
To make a voice no voice at all
Roses in the hospital
Flowers cannot express the loss
Roses in the hospital
Torn reflections of burnt out trash
Of burnt out trash

Forever ever delayed
Forever ever delayed
Forever
Forever

Forever ever delayed
Forever ever delayed
Forever
Forever

Forever ever delayed
Forever delayed
Forever
Forever

Forever delayed
Forever delayed
We never felt any sun, any sun

Standing on the waters casting your bread
While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing.
Distant ships sailing into the mist,
You were born with a snake in both of your fists while a hurricane was blowing.
Freedom just around the corner for you
But with the truth so far off, what good will it do?

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune,
Bird fly high by the light of the moon,
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman.

So swiftly the sun sets in the sky,
You rise up and say goodbye to no one.
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread,
Both of their futures, so full of dread, you don't show one.
Shedding off one more layer of skin,
Keeping one step ahead of the persecutor within.

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune,
Bird fly high by the light of the moon,
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman.

You're a man of the mountains, you can walk on the clouds,
Manipulator of crowds, you're a dream twister.
You're going to Sodom and Gomorrah
But what do you care? Ain't nobody there would want to marry your sister.
Friend to the martyr, a friend to the woman of shame,
You look into the fiery furnace, see the rich man without any name.

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune,
Bird fly high by the light of the moon,
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman.

Well, the Book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy,
The law of the jungle and the sea are your only teachers.
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed,
Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features.
Resting in the fields, far from the turbulent space,
Half asleep near the stars with a small dog licking your face.

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune,
Bird fly high by the light of the moon,
Oh. oh. oh. Jokerman.

Well, the rifleman's stalking the sick and the lame,
Preacherman seeks the same, who'll get there first is uncertain.
Nightsticks and water cannons, tear gas, padlocks,
Molotov cocktails and rocks behind every curtain,
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,
Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in.

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune,
Bird fly high by the light of the moon,
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman.

It's a shadowy world, skies are slippery gray,
A woman just gave birth to a prince today and dressed him in scarlet.
He'll put the priest in his pocket, put the blade to the heat,
Take the motherless children off the street
And place them at the feet of a harlot.
Oh, Jokerman, you know what he wants,
Oh, Jokerman, you don't show any response.

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune,
Bird fly high by the light of the moon,
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman.
