הייתי שם יד על המשולש מנגבו באצבעות, משמן בזיתים מסיט ווילונות, מרטיב שיחים מצית מסגדים, מצלצל בפעמונים הייתי שם יד על המשולש על אותו וואדי מתעורר עד היינו נאנחים בדואט, בסרגל גם לזה הייתי מתרגל, אריאל הייתי שם יד על המשולש, אלא מה, הכל שם כפרים ומכשולים סמטאות צרות, עדרי עיזים רעמים וחזיזים אז אסתפק לי ברצועה, צרה היא אומנם, אבל חוף לה, מוצא אל הים ועל צווארי נוחה היא היום עד שתבוא שריקתה, עד אז אחלום

בלעדיו 04:04
לא צריך יותר עליו לוותר לנוח לא צריך לישון לבהות בארון שבוע ואולי, בלעדיו אהיה שוב עם עצמי במנוחה, בשקט ואמצא שוב מי אני קצת בעצם ואחלום לי על אותה הרגשה שבבטן ואדע זאת הזדמנות נוספת לא צריך מקום טירה או ארמון לברוח לא צריך דמיון תמונות בעיתון לשכוח ואולי, בלעדיו אהיה שוב עם עצמי במנוחה, בשקט ואמצא שוב מי אני קצת בעצם ואחלום לי על אותה הרגשה שבבטן ואדע זאת הזדמנות נוספת

When I was just shy of 17 The days were short, the nights were kings We stayed awake to sing a song We never thought we could do wrong Oh yea ... and that's when I found lust ... In the back room of a store Our bodies pressed on to the floor Until we lost all track of time That's when you told me you were mine Oh yea ... and that's when I found out ... And now I waken from a dream Where I keep asking you've been I wrote a letter to you: "My lovely girl ... Why have you been untrue?" You're bursting at the seams Tripping over our best dreams I'm warning you ... But my mind's already set ... So I pretend Then I became 21 I flew a plane, I held a gun I met a girl ... oh so sweet She took my love and went to sleep Oh yea ... and that's when I found pain ... On the back of a magazine In moving pictures on a screen I've built a world so long and wide When she'd call, that's where I'd hide Oh yea ... and that's when I found love ... It's a story about a man Trying to be the best he can Every now and then, He understands, the meaning of his life Locked up in some bedroom See him howling at the moon He's warning you But his mind's already set So he pretends ... Now most folks think its a sin To live alone, to be seen To steal away the time To never ask nobody for a dime But I'm happy to recede Not ever to succeed I'm warning you ... 'cause my mind's already set I won't pretend ... and that's when I found love

Take your wives out to the sea Where the sand and sun are free 'till they're crying out for love Asking only to be free From the kids that they have born From the scars that time has worn From all decency and creed 'till their heart no longer bleeds And as they thank you for the ride Wave your hand, put on a smile ... Take your boys out to the streets Give them music and critique 'till they stay awake all night Getting ready for the fight Against all ordinary forms Against all law and uniform 'till they're ready to ascend Into a life you've always planned And as they thank you for the ride Wave your hand, put on a smile ... You're no longer needed We know it all, now we're even ... So is a man to live alone? From himself he's never torn Or should he open up the gates For the class of 88? Should he take it all with stride? Wave them off and stay inside Or should he go out to fulfill His new dream, up on the hill? And thank them all for the ride Wave his hand and smile with pride?

אשת העולם הגדול משקלו כנוצה אך למי זמן לשקול יש לעשות את הכל אך בבטן מתקתק לו שעון הוא מחול ילדים, הם צריכים לאכול התקרות מזכוכית כן, רואים לך הכל שחרור האישה ממי וממה? תגידי לי את מי בונה פה תקרה שחרור האישה ממי וממה? תגידי לי את איך הפכת לשפחת שחרור האישה ממי וממה? הרקולס וסיזיפוס נחים בפינה שפחה מרצון אותם מחליפה רואים לך הכל, התקרה כאן שקופה עצרי לשעה, קחי נשימה האם את זוכרת חיבוק, נשיקה הגוף שלך צריך קצת - אהבה

My love it is big, it gets bigger every day x2 Won't you come down and hug me 'Cause my baby's away My will is strong, it gets stronger every day x2 Won't you come down and test me 'Cause my baby's away I'm thinking deep thoughts, getting deeper every day Won't you show me some kindness 'Cause my baby's away You might think that I'm dirty ... getting dirtier every day x2 Won't you come down and clean me ... 'Cause my baby's away Life seems so hard, that's what I hear people say x2 Well I'm gonna make it easy on you My baby's away You can rob and steal (and cheat), to get what you want x2 Well today is your luck day But honey please don't 'cause my love it is big, it gets bigger every day x2 Won't you come down and hug me 'Cause my baby's away

Today (1998) 04:41
When you say: "Everything will be OK" Oh, do you mean you're going away today? When you say: "Look at me and ask me twice" Oh, do you mean its time to close our eyes? Today, the feeling's gone astray Today, the feeling's gone away When you say: "I'll always be right by your side" Oh, is it time for me to start to cry? When you say: "I'll never be away from you" Oh, is it time for me for being blue? Today, the feeling's gone astray Today, the feeling's gone away When you say: "Everything is going to be OK" When you say ... everything's away Today, the feeling's gone away ... Rock

I / can't be sure but I think I heard you / crawl through the door, You / didn't say a word And I think you tried to go to bed / but instead you went to floor You've been out drinking with the other boys again Telling them we're only friends Making out and making noise, Oh, Stop pretending / that this isn't really ending, And I will stop resenting you / when you stop resenting me, I / waited up late Maybe / a bit too late until you / finally came in Where do I end / and where do you begin, You've been out partying with the guys I've never met, Drinking beer and smoking cigarettes, Killing brain cells and killing me, Oh, stop pretending that this isn't really ending, And I will stop resenting you when you stop resenting me,

It's been six years since my girl left me I wonder why she still attracts me I work so hard trying to fix myself I try so hard, but I can't escape It's been six years since my girl left me It's been six months since I first saw your face I wonder why I think we're in the race I work so hard trying to fix myself I try so hard, but I can't escape It's been six months since I first saw your face It's every round, like it's the first Like I never been there, never seen the place It's been six months since I first saw your face It's been six days since I left you alone I wonder why I still think you're my own I work so hard trying to fix myself I try so hard, but I can't escape It's been six days since I left you alone It's every round, like it's the first Like I never been there, never seen the place I work so hard trying to fix myself I try so hard, but I can't escape ... my mind The life, I could fine The lies, I left behind And you, you are so kind It's been six hours since we last kissed my dear I wonder how can I still feel you near I've worked so hard trying to fix myself But it finally feels like I found my place It's been six hours since we last kissed my dear Now every round feels like first and last Like I've always been there, even in the past It's been six hours since we last kissed my dear

מי אתה אדוני? כמה זמן אתה כבר פה? עירוני? קיבוצי? משפחתי? בן של מי? סטודנט? פעיל חברתי? מי אתה אדוני? שדרותי אמיתי? או תייר סדרתי באת לכאן, אל השממה לפרק לעצמך את הנשמה לחסוך קצת עלויות לעגוב על הבנות המקומיות להיות מסוגל לומר "אני בשדרות, שם הכל אוכל כי אין שם כלום ואני … אני עצום!" מי אתה אדוני … כבר ראיתי כמוך מיליון חושבים שכל אחד כאן אדם קדמון שאם רק יבואו פה, עם טיפה של דמיון יציתו את האש, ירפאו כל שברון ואז יכתבו בעיתון: "הוא עזב הכל בא אל הדרום, (אל ארץ השכול) ושם גילה שהוא בעצם יכול לעבוד על עצמו, לקום ולפול מי אתה אדוני ... נסיך מקומי, אני כאן גדלתי, אני כאן ביתי, אני בן של, אני אם תרצה, גם פעיל חברתי מזרחי, עירוני איש אשכולות אמיתי כן, אני נסיך מקומי וכך סובב לו הגלגל נכנס נסיך במקום מלך שנפל שושלות שלמות מתקיימות לעד בבועה - מקום רק לאחד כי אם יבואו בה שנים או יותר תתפוצץ, ודבר ממנה לא יוותר אז מוטב להגן על גבולותיה היטב וכל חדש לשמור פן חלילה יתקרב מי אתה אדוני ...

Flower Power 02:38
"Flower power gained by Lilies I consume None but the kindness of nature I assume" Life is simple, here on the ranch You wake up, water the plants Shave past recalls off your cheek Eat your daily portion of fresh leek Townes' backyard is coming alive With guitars a-buzzing, a beehive Pretty rundown but standing tall Wait no more, or so I'm told But far a sleep, deep beneath A mammoth beast inside me breaths In short lurching growls it speaks World destruction and havoc it reeks I'm ready, to live and speak The language of the simpletons and meek Let the roving ants be our private fleet Come my love, let's eat

קולפן 03:40
2011 כבר כמעט שנה אני חי ללא קולפן כבר כמעט שנה אני חי כמו חצי בן אדם את מרירות קליפת המלפפון למדתי לקבל כמו הייתה מרירות העזובים את קליפת תפוח האדמה כמו הייתה גסות הנבגדים מימים אני אוכל קליפת תפוז נדקר ובולע מעכל ואומר עוד בבקשה לא עוד היום קניתי קולפן בשוק בחמישה שקלים בחנות צעצועי הילדים וגם לחם רוסי וגבינה מעכשיו אני מקלף מלפפון וגם פושט תפוח אדמה משאיר פינות קטנות של עור כדי לא לשכוח, כדי לא לזכור

I met a young girl, down in Mexico She went along the way We hitched a ride across the blue sky And headed down the day She asked for my name, as I came up I didn’t know what to say She called me love as I came down Down at her legs, where I did stay Now you tell me, what is the force That attracts a girl To such a fine old specimen Who likes just to play Now I’m telling you, here’s my thought You need not beauty nor wealth I came across many young women there That I now know pretty well And then said the girl, with a certain smile Oh, you’re surly just like me I wander this world not knowing why While I keep searching for my misery She then stopped and told me her life was in a rut Running and playing in the fields ‘Till one day a man come into the light And then she slowly disappeared Now you tell me, what’s a man to do In such a crazy circumstance Should he get out to the field and run with no end Should he stay and learn to prance Well, I did what I did, you’ll have to figure it out I’m not telling you a thing I’m coming out of the shadows, into the light Down again, your way

באביב אשוב אליך איסורי מצפון אתיר כקשר של שתיקה הנפרם בין ליל את שמלתך למשיכת העולם נפקיר מטה, מטה עד לרצפת היצור היצר שם פועל משמרות משמרות של חליבת בוקר אכניס אז ואוציא עד שנסיים ונסריח ובינתים, את אסורה בצריח

So I became an expert At wasting (all) my time Seeking the real answer I've flown into your eyes And suddenly I'm dizzy wasted, out of time No more seeking answers Or crying out inside (all the time) Using the same all words that never change Not even trying to rhyme == Nothing has been broken Since I have in you, inside Nothing == And now that this song over I'm getting back to wasting just my time The feeling is over too And words never rhyme Its back to washing the dishes And standing on my head Back to selling tickets To stations with no rails

Number One 04:28
No one is no one else's number one For more than a moment one For more than it takes love To comfortably settle down So on that moment make best Love not with urgency nor with haste But with fine kingmanship With greatest awe, grace & spirit For that day is the one When your own song is sang For that day is the one When your own life, has just began
