I lately lost a preposition...

I lately lost a preposition. It hid, I thought, beneath my chair. And angrily I cried, “Perdition!” Up from out of in under there.  Correctness is my vade mecum, And dangling phrases I abhor, But yet I wondered, “What should he come Up from out of in under there for? ”   [New Yorker, 27th September 1947] Morris Bishop

Everlong

[Verse 1] Hello, I've waited here for you Everlong Tonight, I throw myself into And out of the red Out of her head, she sang Come down, and waste away with me Down with me Slow how you wanted it to be And over my head, out of her head she sang [Pre-Chorus] And I wonder when I sing along with you [Chorus] If everything could ever feel this real forever If anything could ever be this good again The only thing I'll ever ask of you You've got to promise not to stop when I say when She sang [Verse 2] Breathe out, so I can breathe you in Hold you in And now I know you've always been And out of your head, out of my head I sang [Pre-Chorus] And I wonder when I sing along with you [Chorus] If everything could ever feel this real forever If anything could ever be this good again The only thing I'll ever ask of you You've got to promise not to stop when I say when She sang [Bridge] And I wonder...

Strong

If a child, a child cries would you not forgive them? [Hook] Yeah, I might seem so strong Yeah, I might speak so long I've never been so wrong And I might seem so strong Yeah, I might speak so long I've never been so wrong [Verse 2] Excuse me for a while Turn a blind eye with a stare caught right in the middle Have you wondered for a while?

Non Believer

[Verse 1] We both know that you wanna love her Skies are open crying, please don't believe her 'Cause she'll tell you lies and then say it doesn't matter And you're pleased to see her calling them non-believers [Pre-Chorus 1] But maybe she loves you and I'm just a preacher Those burning skies and all who don't believe her Non-believers, no Don't believe her, no [Chorus] All that we are, all that we need They're different things Oh, maybe what we are and what we need They're different things [Verse 2] Do you realize again, you chased an idea Heels and earth behind some broken creature [Pre-Chorus 2] Maybe she loves you and I'm just a preacher Non-believers crying don't believe her Don't believe her, no Don't believe her, no [Chorus] All that we are, all that we need They're different things Oh, maybe what we are and what we need They're different things [Bridge] Give you my all and you'

Dark Necessities

[Verse 1] Coming on to the light of day we got Many moons that are deep at play so I Keep an eye on the shadow smile To see what it has to say You and I both know Everything must go away What do you say?

Éxodo

[Verso 1] Dicen que nadie detiene las horas Que nadie detiene las olas Dicen que solo eres tú cuando hablas contigo y dialogas a solas Dicen que solo controlas un cinco por ciento, que el resto es destino Dicen que este universo divino ya tiene trazado el camino Y hoy miro el planeta, mi mundo pálido Todos con su razón y un látigo La ignorancia en su punto más álgido Corruptos los jueces, los árbitros Latidos y pálpitos huecos por hábitos secos, cansados y áridos Derechas e izquierdas hambrientas de votos cambiando el discurso tan rápido Yo conozco sus timos, el caos que vivimos Quisimos odiar, dividirnos Ser cuervos en vez de ser mirlos Rendirnos al jefe, callar y servirlo Culpables lo hacen, nosotros los cómplices por permitirlo Al dormirnos en un sueño fácil Mientras los neonazis entonan sus himnos Aunque mis vestiduras se rascan Prefiero las llanuras de Alaska Lejos de la masa basta Que entre máscaras caras se pudre y se atasca Se rascan la herida y les duele

Nightlite

Weather is in a style To keep the hope We tread these waters make our waves yes we do Peaceful shall proceed In every single way Come let's bring light to the night of need Weather is in a style To keep the hope We tread these waters make our waves yes we do Peaceful shall proceed In every single way Come let's bring light to the night of need There comes a time in somewhere new A time when trueborns really show Can you depend on friends to help when you're in need? Have they got problems of their own? Look all the silver seasoning shown Somethings are better left alone [Days to come, 2006] Bonobo

Fit But You Know It

[Intro] Excuse me, girl I know it's a bit embarrassing But I just noticed some tan lines on your shirt [Verse 1] See, I reckon you're about an eight or a nine Maybe even nine and a half in four beers' time That blue Topshop top you've got on is nice Bit too much fake tan, though, but yeah, you score high But there's just one little thing that's really, really Really, really annoying me about you, you see Yeah, yeah, like I said, you are really fit But my gosh, don't you just know it? [Hook] I'm not trying to pull you Even though I would like to I think you are really fit You're fit, but my gosh, don't you know it? [Verse 2] So when I looked at you standing there with your horde I was waiting in the queue, looking at the board Wondering whether to have a burger or chips Or what the shrapnel in my back pocket could afford When I noticed out the corner of my eye Looking toward my direction, your eyes locked onto my course
