Heart in a Cage

Well I don't feel better
When I'm fucking around
And I don't write better
When I'm stuck in the ground
So don't teach me a lesson
Cause I've already learned
Yeah the sun will be shining
And my children will burn

oh the heart beats in its cage

I don't want what you want
I don't feel what you feel
See I'm stuck in a city
But I belong in a field
yeah we got left, left,left, left,left, left, left
Now it's three in the morning and you're eating alone

oh the heart beats in its cage

All our friends, they're laughing at us
All of those you loved you mistrust
Help me I'm just not quite myself
Look around there's no one else left
I went to the concert and I fought through the crowd
Guess I got too excited when I thought you werearound
oh he gets left, left, left, left, left, left, left

I'm sorry you were thinking

I would steal your fire.

oh the heart beats in its cage
yes the heart beats in its cage
alrightoh the heart beats in its cage

The Strokes, “First impressions of Earth”, 2006

Esta é uma música poderosa, de uma banda que gosto bastante...Parece mesmo que consegumos ouvir o bater do coração aprisionado...

Where the Wild Roses Grow

They call me The Wild Rose

but my name was Elisa Day

Why they call me it I do not know

For my name was Elisa Day

From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one

As she stared in my eyes and smiled

For her lips were the colour of the roses

That grew down the river, all bloody and wild

When he knocked on my door and entered the room

My trembling subsided in his sure embrace

He would be my first man, and with a careful hand

He wiped at the tears that ran down my face

They call me The Wild Rose

but my name was Elisa Day

Why they call me it I do not know

For my name was Elisa Day

On the second day I brought her a flower

She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen

I said, "Do you know where the wild roses grow

So sweet and scarlet and free?"

On the second day he came with a single red rose

Said: "Will you give me your loss and your sorrow?"

I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed

He said, "If I show you the roses will you follow?"

They call me The Wild Rose

but my name was Elisa Day

Why they call me it I do not know

For my name was Elisa Day

On the third day he took me to the river

He showed me the roses and we kissed

And the last thing I heard was a muttered word

As he stood smiling above me with a rock in his fist

On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow

And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief

As I kissed her goodbye, I said, "All beauty must die"

And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth

They call me The Wild Rose

but my name was Elisa Day

Why they call me it I do not know

For my name was Elisa Day

A dupla Nick Cave e Kylie Minogue parecia absolutamente improvável... No entanto, resultou de forma inesperadamente brilhante...
