Joni Mitchell - A case of you

Just before our love got lost you said
"I am as constant as a northern star"
And I said, "Constant in the
darkness
Where's that at?
If you want me I'll be in the bar"

On
the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue TV screen light
I drew a map
of Canada
Oh Canada
And I sketched your face on it
twice

Oh you
are in my blood like holy wine
Oh and you taste so
bitter but you taste so
sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you
I could
drink a case of you darling
Still I'd be on my feet
I'd still be on my
feet

Oh I am a lonely
painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm
frightened by the devil
And
I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
I remember that time that you told
me, you said
"Love is touching
souls"
Surely you touched mine
"Cause
part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time

Oh you
are in my blood like
holy wine
And you taste so bitter but you taste so
sweet
Oh I could
drink a case of you
I could drink a case of you darling
Still I'd be on
my feet
I'd still be on my feet

I met a woman
She had a mouth
like yours
She knew your life
She knew your devils
and your deeds
And she said
"Go to him, stay with him if you can
Oh
but be
prepared to bleed"
Oh but you are in my blood you're my holy wine
Oh and
you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet
I could drink a case
of you
darling
Still I'd be on my feet
Still I'd be on my feet
I'd
still be on my feet

Por vezes, no meio de tanta confusão acabo por me sentir de forma diferente..
parece que regredi aos meus 18 anos.. sinto-me novamente pequenina e sem saber o rumo que as coisas devem tomar á minha volta.
Sinto-me num cruzamento sem saber muito bem para qual dos lados me devo dirigir.. e como tudo na vida.. cada um dos lados tem os seus prós e contras.. Todas as acçoes têm consequencias... Sinto-me sozinha.. e no entanto cheia de gente á minha volta..
olho á minha volta e não consigo encontrar as respostas que procuro.
Assim deixo aqui mais uma letra de uma musica que me tem apetecido tanto poder cantar:



This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die
But it's over
Just hear this and then i'll go
You gave me more to live for
More than you'll ever know

This is our last embrace
Must I dream and always see your face
Why can't we overcome this wall
Well, maybe it's just because i didn't know you at all

Kiss me, please kiss me
But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation
You know it makes me so angry 'cause i know that in time
I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye

Did you say "no, this can't happen to me,"
And did you rush to the phone to call
Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind
Saying maybe you didn't know him at all
You didn't know him at all, oh, you didn't know

Well, the bells out in the church tower chime
Burning clues into this heart of mine
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memories
Offer signs that it's over... it's over

Depeche Mode - Martyr

I've been a martyr for love
And I will die in the flames
As I draw my last breath
As I'm closing on death
I will call out your name

I've been a martyr for love
Nailed up on the cross
While you're having your fun
As the damage is done
I'm assessing the cost

I knew what I was letting myself in for
I knew that I could never even the score

I've been a martyr for love
I need to be by your side
I have knelt at your feet
I have felt your deceit
Couldn't leave if I tried

I've been a martyr for love
Tortured every hour
From the day I was born
I've been moved like a pawn
By the greatest of powers

I knew that I would have to suffer in vain
Aware that I would never outgrow the pain

I've been a martyr for love...
