Thanks Cheezy

“Sophia”

Oh I have been wondering where I have been pondering
Where I’ve been lately is no concern of yours
Who’s been touching my skin
Who have I been letting
Shy and tired eyed am I today

I’m wounded by dust
All I have been wondering where I have been pondering
Where I’ve been lately is no concern of yours
Who’s been touching my skin
Who have I been letting
Tried and tired eyed am I today

Sometimes I sit, sometimes I stare
Sometimes they look and sometimes I don’t care
Rarely I weep, sometimes I must
I’m wounded by dust

When the bell toll, when the bell gon’ chime
You better call for your woman up high
And when the bell tolls for your last day,
You’ll be getting down on your knees to pray
I’m a good woman and I never did say whatever it was that you did that day
I’m not a woman that is going to place claim but you said that it was coming on judgement day

Now Sophia
I’m wounded by dust

When the bell toll, when the bell gon’ chime
You better call for your woman up high
And when the bell tolls for your last day,
You’ll be getting down on your knees to pray
I’m a good woman and I never did say whatever it was that you did that day
I’m not a woman that is going to place claim but you said that it was coming on judgement day

Now Sophia
I’m wounded by dust
Now Sophia

Better late than never I suppose!

Bohren & der Club of Gore is a German black metal/ambient/jazz band that were one of the highlights of the recent OFF Festival in Katowice Poland. It’s kinda crazy but they sound like a cross between Black Sabbath and Sade – explain that one?

Nice words on Youtube:

“A great tune from the masters of film noir jazz. This is the soundtrack to a smoky Detroit back-alley bar at 2 AM, half-full of shady figures with three-day beards slowly finishing their last glasses of scotch. Beautiful. Taken from the album “Sunset Mission”.

Amazing song from an amazing album – songwriting at its very best.

My thanks to the ever lovely Miss H. my new best friend from Warsaw.

One of her favourite artists along with Modest Mouse and all things Welsh

?wiat?o gwiazdki na po?cieli, misie moje ?pi? na ziemi
Milcz? ca?? noc, noc? modl? si?, dziadek g?aszcze mnie.

Ka?dej wiosny dmucham w ?wieczki, w wielki tort, jem ?ó?ty sernik
Pij? koktail ze snów, moje urodziny s?, z plasteliny lepi? dom.

D?em, kakao, pomara?cze, telewizor, w którym ta?cz?
Za mym oknem stoi cyrk, chuda ?yrafa jest i ?lepy s?o? jest te?.

Mali ch?opcy z piaskownicy, przyjaciele, lecz z?o?liwcy
Kradn? jab?ka z drzew, lato ko?czy si?, kasztany gnij?, pada ?nieg.

Along with Tree, my favorite band of 2011.

My spider sense is tingling
From the boys and the girls and the vortex singing
Just a second to hang upon my ears
Just a second to taste the salty tears

Judge not least you may be judged
Judge not least you may be judged
Judged by me, judged by me
Least you may be destroyed by me

Trouble come down on shoulders quick
And put a hymn of neon upon my lips
Now I’m spiralling into the void
My atoms split as love’s reward
For the ten percent that I can’t afford
Well maybe I’d fly free as a bird

Judge not least you may be judged
Judge not least you may be judged
Judged by me, judged by me
Least you may be destroyed by me

And without sleep, without remorse
While we’re stuck on head-collision course
But my plate’s already full
Of selfish people with selfish desires
And don’t climb so high
That you can’t come down
To tumble now is to surely die

Judge not least you may be judged
Least you may be judged
By me, judged by me
Least you may be loved by me

Judge not least you may be judged
Least you may be judged
Least you may be judged
Least you may be loved

Great music is really quite simple

I heard that your settled down.
That you found a girl and your married now.
I heard that your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things I didn’t give to you.

Old friend, why are you so shy?
It ain’t like you to hold back or hide from the light

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
But I couldn’t stay away, I couldn’t fight it.
I’d hoped you’d see my face & that you’d be reminded,
That for me, it isn’t over.

Nevermind, I’ll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best for you too.
Don’t forget me, I beg, I’ll remember you said:
“Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead”
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead.

You’d know how the time flies.
Only yesterday was the time of our lives.
We were born and raised in a summery haze.
Bound by the surprise of our glory days.

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
But I couldn’t stay away, I couldn’t fight it.
I’d hoped you’d see my face & that you’d be reminded,
That for me, it isn’t over yet.

Nevermind, I’ll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best for you too.
Don’t forget me, I beg, I’ll remember you said:
“Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead”.

Nothing compares, no worries or cares.
Regret’s and mistakes they’re memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Nevermind, I’ll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best for you too.
Don’t forget me, I beg, I’ll remember you said:
“Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead”

Nevermind, I’ll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best for you too.
Don’t forget me, I beg, I’ll remember you said:
“Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead”
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead.

Classic song – classic band (sorry Spacey no Mr. Green) but one can’t fail to jump on the nearest table and air (bass) guitar to this song.

Can I hear LZ smiling?

Listen to the wind blow, watch the sun rise

Run in the shadows
Damn your love, damn your lies

And if you don’t love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain
And if you don’t love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain

Listen to the wind blow, down comes the night

Run in the shadows
Damn your love, damn your lies

Break the silence
Damn the dark, damn the light

And if you don’t love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain
And if you don’t love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain
And if you don’t love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain

Chain…keeps us together
(run into the shadows)
Chain…keeps us together
(run into the shadows)
Chain…keeps us together
(run into the shadows)
