LOU REED, LEGENDARY HEARTS
Legendary hearts
tearing up apart
with stories of their love
their great transcendent loves
While we stand here and fight
and lose another night
of legendary love
Legendary loves
haunt me in my sleep
promises to keep
I never should have made
I can't live up to this
I'm good for just a kiss
not legendary love
Romeo, oh, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo
he's in a car or at a bar
or churning his blood with an impure drug
He's in the past and seemingly lost forever
He worked hard at being good
but his basic soul was stained not pure
and when he took his bow
no audience was clapping
Legendary hearts
tear us all apart
make our emotions bleed
crying out in need
No legendary love
is coming from above
it's in this room right now
And you've got to fight
to make what's right
you've got to fight
to make what's right
You've got to fight
to make what's right
you've got to fight to keep your legendary love
tearing up apart
with stories of their love
their great transcendent loves
While we stand here and fight
and lose another night
of legendary love
Legendary loves
haunt me in my sleep
promises to keep
I never should have made
I can't live up to this
I'm good for just a kiss
not legendary love
Romeo, oh, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo
he's in a car or at a bar
or churning his blood with an impure drug
He's in the past and seemingly lost forever
He worked hard at being good
but his basic soul was stained not pure
and when he took his bow
no audience was clapping
Legendary hearts
tear us all apart
make our emotions bleed
crying out in need
No legendary love
is coming from above
it's in this room right now
And you've got to fight
to make what's right
you've got to fight
to make what's right
You've got to fight
to make what's right
you've got to fight to keep your legendary love
Eivør Pálsdóttir, Is It Cold Outside
Is it cold outside
in the pouring rain
are you feeling happy
are you in pain
we´ve travelled for so long
through the world outside
the right and the wrong
the darkness and the light
how deep is the water
do you sink or swim
travel on the outside
or from within
is there a beginning
is there an end
i ask my friend
there are strange sounds
in the wind
i can hear you
whispering
still seeking answers
still on the run
chasing the dancers
chasing the sun
sitting with the blues
with the blues- and me which is no good.
and a thick bundle of print-outs, poems.
what are they good for.
what am i good for.
i really don't know.
good night, fcn good night..
i need sleep.
sleep is the god.
i know, i know.
i disobey.
i disagree.
what do you do?
what if we all disagree, who will be different?
if this is to go on, my house will be on fire.
if only i could be dead, i might like to be alive.
what to do-do-do?
i am so blue.
what if i don't mind?
