Lyrics

[Carl]

..., don't cry
you can rely on me, honey
you can combine anything you want
I'll be around
you were right about the stars
each one is a setting sun

Tall buildings shake
voices escape singing sad sad songs
tuned to chords
strung down your cheeks
bitter melodies turning your orbit around

Don't cry
you can rely on me honey
you can come by any time you want
I'll be around
you were right about the stars
each one is a setting sun

Tall buildings shake
voices escape singing sad sad songs
tuned to chords
strung down your cheeks
bitter melodies turning your orbit around

Voices whine
skyscrapers are scraping together
your voice is smoking
last cigarettes are all you can get
turning your orbit around

Well it doesn't look much like we'll see the new year
Cos all the bright young faces are here
And I can't see us rising to their occasion any more
No, not their Christmas cheer

Time is against us, even love conspires to disgrace us
And with things being what they are ...
Yes and things being what they are

Oh my friend, we used to walk in the flames
Now somebody's taken my arms
The shadows are taller. you're missing your halo
With your face in the half-light you Iook like a stranger

You made me catch my breath just then
You made me catch my breath
Is that you:... is that still you?

If you cannot run, then crawl
If you can leave, then leave it all
If you don't get caught, then steal it all
If you don't get caught. then steal it all
Steal it all

The final time we touch
I watch as you enter the church
You turn and you wave, then you kneel and you pray
And you save of yourself what you can save

If you cannot run, then crawl
If you can leave, then leave it all
If you don't get caught. then steal it all
If you don't get caught. then steal it all
Steal it all

And between ourselves, and the end at hand,
X

[Marc VA]

laatste nummer van de b-kant van één van mijn favoriete albums uit de jaren 80 ( Triffids - Calenture )
kan alleen niet meer op de titel komen

[phon]

dat is alvast juist
de titel staat een beetje verkapt wel in de tekst

[marc]

New year's greetings???

[phon]

New year's greetings???

Toch niet. Het antwoord was "Save what you can".

Ik stel voor dat Marc VA doordoet.

[Marc VA]

hieronder de originele versie ( 65 ) van een gigantische engelstalige hit uit 1966

Siamo qui, noi soli
come ogni sera, ma tu sei più triste
E io lo so perchè!
So che tu vuoi dirmi
Che non sei felicice
che io sto cambiando
E tu mi vuoi laciare

Io che non vivo
Più di un'ora senza te
Come posso stare una vita senza te
Sei mia, sei mia, mai niente lo sai
Separarci un giorno potrai

Vieni qui ascoltami
Io te voglio bene
Te ne prego fermati
Ancora insieme a me

Io che non vivo
Più di un'ora senza te
Come posso stare una vita senza te
Sei mia, sei mia, sei mia.

[Lars]

Sei mia, sei mia, sei mia.

Ik hoor in gedachten een mannenstem die nogal laag en dramatisch "be mine, be mine" zingt, maar ik kan ze niet thuisbrengen.

Zit ik op het goede spoor ?

[Lars]

ondertussen is mijn euro gevallen dat die "Be mine" uit "You're a lady" van Peter Skellern kwam, dus uit de seventies en niet op het juiste spoor...

[Marc VA]

Lars en anderen, ondertussen kan je de volledige italiaanse tekst meezingen ( aangepast hierboven )
Zou nu toch moeten lukken om titel en uitvoerder vd engelstalige versie uit 1966 te achterhalen
Extra tip: géén zware mannenstem

[Maledictus I]

Ben E King - I (who have nothing) ?

[Marc VA]

neen, geen ben e. king
't is een blonde soulvolle madam die inmiddels niet meer onder ons is
ps: refrein hierboven aangeduid
