Creep

Desde pequenina sempre soube que não cabia no mundo.
Virava pra lá, virava pra cá, virava do avesso.
Desde então estou asssim, ao contrário.

"Das coisas que perdemos pelo caminho...."

"Talvez eu esteja mesmo enlouquecendo; por outro lado talvez eu esteja simplesmente confusa e infeliz; por um terceiro lado, talvez eu saiba exatamente o que eu quero, mas naõ tenha coragem de ir em frente por causa da imensa dor que isso causaria, e a tensão entre esses dois estados de alma me faça ter vontade de explodir."

... sometimes you realize that isn't anger that will set you free, it's kindness.
That the change that you wanted to see is not outside. If there is one thing that has to be changed it's you.
You realize that you have to let people take responsibility for what they wish even if you loose some things on the way.
In order to be brave you must let go.
What we project in the world we feel in our hearts.
Remember: the mirror only reflects what is inside ourselves.
What image do you choose to see?

Not a pretty girl

i am not a pretty girl
that is not what i do
i ain't no damsel in distress
and i don't need to be rescued
so put me down punk
maybe you'd prefer a maiden fair
isn't there a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere

i am not an angry girl
but it seems like i've got everyone fooled
every time i say something they find hard to hear
they chalk it up to my anger
and never to their own fear
and imagine you're a girl
just trying to finally come clean
knowing full well they'd prefer you
were dirty and smiling

and i am sorry
i am not a maiden fair
and i am not a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere

and generally my generation
wouldn't be caught dead working for the man
and generally i agree with them
trouble is you gotta have yourself an alternate plan
and i have earned my disillusionment
i have been working all of my life
and i am a patriot
i have been fighting the good fight
and what if there are no damsels in distress
what if i knew that and i called your bluff?
don't you think every kitten figures out how to get down
whether or not you ever show up

i am not a pretty girl
i don't want to be a pretty girl
no i want to be more than a pretty girl

Polar Bear

She knew she was able to fly,
Because when she came down,
She had dust on her hands from the sky,
She felt so high, the dust made her cry.

She knew she could fly like a bird,
But when she said 'please raise the roof higher' nobody heard,
They never noticed a word,
The light bulbs burn, her fingers will learn.

Why should it feel like a crime?
If I want to be with you all the time.
Why is it measured in hours?
You should make your own time, you're welcome in mine

Starcrazy

She's star, starcrazy, electric-shock-bog-brush-hair,
Flat on her back in the 80's, in the 90's going nowhere,
Star, starcrazy, got a kicking transistor inside,
A heavy metal stutter that brains me,
and an electric love in her eyes,

Oh, she don't want education,
She got nothing to say,
She got no imagination (so they say)
Why does she feel this way?

Cos she's star, starcrazy, getting stupid on the streets tonight,
and shaking like a mechanical thing
with an electric love in her eyes,

Oh, she don't want education,
She got nothing to say,
She got no imagination (so they say)
So why does she feel this way?

Quelqu'un m'a dit

On me dit que nos vies ne valent pas grand chose,
Elles passent en un instant comme fanent les roses.
On me dit que le temps qui glisse est un salaud
Que de nos chagrins il s'en fait des manteaux

Refrain:
Pourtant quelqu'un m'a dit
Que tu m'aimais encore,
C'est quelqu'un qui m'a dit que tu m'aimais encore.
Serais ce possible alors ?

On dit que le destin se moque bien de nous
Qu'il ne nous donne rien et qu'il nous promet tout
Parait qu'le bonheur est à portée de main,
Alors on tend la main et on se retrouve fou

Au refrain

Mais qui est ce qui m'a dit que toujours tu m'aimais?
Je ne me souviens plus c'était tard dans la nuit,
J'entend encore la voix, mais je ne vois plus les traits
"il vous aime, c'est secret, lui dites pas que j'vous l'ai dit"

Tu vois quelqu'un m'a dit
Que tu m'aimais encore, me l'a t'on vraiment dit...
Que tu m'aimais encore, serais ce possible alors ?

On me dit que nos vies ne valent pas grand chose,
Elles passent en un instant comme fanent les roses
On me dit que le temps qui glisse est un salaud
Que de nos tristesses il s'en fait des manteaux,

Au refrain
