1987

Juèe sam slušao vesti na radiju,
poseban osvrt na pucnjavu u Persiji.
Sve reðe spominju drug' Hamdiju, suviše njih je na veresiji.
Nesreæa jedna, jadna i bedna osamdeset sedma!

Na svetskoj berzi laju kerovi,
nek dolar propadne, tu su naše menice.
Ne plaše mene krupni zverovi nego krvopije i stenice.
Nesre}a jedna, jadna i bedna osamdeset sedma!

Decu ubijaju na spavanju,
plaši me da se ne podigne vampir ?etnièki,
šta vampir zna o iseljavanju, i on sve vidi èisto etnièki.
Nesre}a jedna, jadna i bedna osamdeset sedma!

I negde sasvim u dnu novina mala i beznaèajna vest,
da jedan peva deset godina,
otpev'o je i on svoje, gotovo, gotovo je!

Juèe sam gled'o televiziju,
neshva}en genij, drug Fadilj na teškoj muci je:
ne shvata niko mo}nu viziju, ne di'u javne institucije.
Nesre}a jedna, jadna i bedna osamdeset sedma!

'Ajmo deco...

U Novom Sadu demonstracije,
poznata prièa, i ovde je kriva menza.
Na ulicama mladost nacije,
e sad nam jedino fali još Lech Valensa.
Tuga jedna, jadna i bedna osamdeset sedma!

I negde sasvim u dnu novina mala i beznaèajna vest,
da jedan peva deset godina,
otpev'o i on svoje, gotovo, gotovo je!

I negi drug je opet digao glas,
drug nam je ponovo zbog svega dr''o govor.
Da, on je opet malo vik'o na nas,
do kraja govor je postao isti horor!
Tuga jedna, jadna i bedna osamdeset sedma!

Sluèaj tih gradjana je zamršen,
niko im još ne sme re}i da štede snagu,
i da je rat nedavno završen i da su Rusi ve} na Reichstag-u.
Nesre}a jedna, jadna i bedna osamdeset sedma!

La, la, la, la, la... Oleo! La, la, la, la, la, la, la...
jadna i bedna osamdeset sedma!
Jadna i bedna osamdeset sedma! Blesava!
Jadna i bedna osamdeset sedma! Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!
Jadna i bedna osamdeset sedma!
Jadna i bedna osamdeset sedma! Najgora godina!
Jadna i bedna osamdeset sedma!
Jadna i bedna osamdeset sedma!
Jadna i bedna osamdeset sedma!

Pu, je...

Detangler

I asked you to stay
But you said there's no way
I begged-- you call
And you leave me after all
I know I'm not to blame
I know you don't feel the same
Didn't even tell me why
You just left me here to die
I stand, I fall, I bounce off these 4 walls
You laugh, you leave
And you leave me here alone
I'm guilty too
forsiring all to you
Well, that's my one sin
Sorry for giving in
Didn't mean to waste your time
Thanks for wasting mine
Could have to tried to let me be
Would you just set me free?
I stand, I fall, I bounce off these 4 walls
You laugh, you leave
And you leave me here alone,
Is this how its gonna be
It's fine for you and not for me
Did you even care at all
You stand, I fall
Could I pay you not to...

Someday

How the hell we wind up like this?
Why weren't we able
To see the signs that we missed
And try to turn the tables
I wished you'd unclench your fists
And unpack your suitcase
Lately there's been to much of this
Don't think its too late
Nothin's wrong
Just as long as you
Know that someday I will
Someday, Somehow
I'm gonna make it alright but not right now
I know your wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, Somehow
I'm gonna make it alright but not right now
I know your wondering when
Well I hope that since we're here anyway
We could end up saying
Things we've always needed to say
So we could end up Staying
Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Lets rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a hollywood horror
Nothins wrong
Just as long as you
know that someday i will
Someday, Somehow
I'm gonna make it alright but not right now
I know your wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, Somehow
I'm gonna make it alright but not right now
I know your wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
[solo]

Laura Pausini - Un giorno senza te

Non scherzare sono triste
Non ho voglia di mentirti ormai
Questa volta non so dirti
Se l'amore che mi dai
Č abbastanza per noi

Dammi il tempo di capire
Cosa vedo veramente in te.
Se ti ho amato un momento,
Se il tuo sole si e gia spento in me.
Perché di te ho bisogno,
Si ma quanto non lo so
E cosě non riesco a vivere,
Se ci penso quanti dubbi ho.
Un giorno senza te
Mi fara bene
Potrei scoprire che
E meglio insieme.
Un giorno senza te
La soluzione per non lasciarsi... ora
Che confusione c'e
Tra testa e cuore,
E un labirinto che
Mi fa sbandare,
Vorrei scappare via
Anche da te
Oh no non odiarmi se puoi
Dammi un giorno
Sto cambiando e i ricordi
Fanno a pugni coi desideri miei,
Anche adesso non ti sento
C'e il deserto nei miei giorni ormai
Perché io avevo un sogno
E dov'e andato non lo so
E cosi non riesco a vivere
Io ti prego non mi dire di no.
Un giorno senza te
Per non restare
Ancora insieme se
Non c'e piů amore
Un giorno senza te
La soluzione per non morire... ancora
Perché qui amore mio,
Non stiamo in piedi
E te lo dico io
Se non ci credi.
E forse e gia un addio
Comunque sia cosě fa male.
Dammi un giorno, senza te
Per non morire no non morire no
Che confusione c'e tra testa e cuore
E un labirinto che fa sbandare.
Un giorno senza te
Anche se, mi fa male.
Solo un giorno.

AS I LAY ME DOWN
by Sophie B Hawkins

It felt like springtime on this February morning
In the courtyard birds were singing your praise
I'm still recalling things you said to make me feel alright
I carried them with me today, Now

As I lay me down to sleep
This I pray
That you will hold me dear
Though I'm far away
I'll whisper your name into the sky
And I will wake up happy

I wonder why I feel so high
Though I am not above the sorrow
Heavy hearted
Till you call my name
And it sounds like church bells
Or the whistle of a train
On a summer evening
I'll run to meet you
Barefoot barely breathing

As I lay me down to sleep
This I pray
That you will hold me dear
Though I'm far away
I'll whisper your name into the sky
And I will wake up happy

It's not too near for me
Like a flower I need the rain
Though it's not clear to me
Every season has its change
And I will see you
When the sun comes out again

As I lay me down to sleep
This I pray
That you will hold me dear
Though I'm far away
I'll whisper your name into the sky
And I will wake up happy

THIS ONE IS FOR THE GIRLS
by Martina McBride

This is for all you girls, about thirteen.
High School can be so rough; can be so mean.
Hold onto, onto your innocence.
Stand your ground, when everybody's givin' in.

This one's for the girls.

This is for all you girls, about twenty-five.
In little apartments just tryin' to get by.
Livin' on, on dreams and Spaghettios.
Wonderin' where your life is gonna go.

This one's for the girls,
Who've ever had a broken heart;
Who've wished upon a shootin' star:
You're beautiful the way you are.
This one's for the girls,
Who love without holdin' back;
Who dream with everything they have.
All around the world,
This one's for the girls.
(This one's for all the girls.)

This is for all you girls, about forty-two.
Tossin' pennies into the fountain of youth.
Every laugh, laugh line on your face,
Made you who you are today.

This one's for the girls,
Who've ever had a broken heart;
Who've wished upon a shootin' star:
You're beautiful the way you are.
This one's for the girls,
Who love without holdin' back;
Who dream with everything they have.
All around the world:
This one's for the girls.

Yeah, we're all the same inside (Same inside.)
From one to ninety-nine:

Who've ever had a broken heart;
Who've wished upon a shootin' star:
You're beautiful the way you are.

I WANT TO KNOW WHAT LOVE IS
by FOREIGNER

Gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older
This mountain I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
Through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder
In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled too far
To change this lonely life

I want to know what love is
I want you to show me
I want to feel what love is
I know you can show me

I'm gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
I've got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me
In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
I can't stop now, I've traveled too far
To change this lonely life

I want to know what love is...

UPTOWN GIRL
by Billy Joel

Uptown Girl
She's been living in her uptown world
I bet she never had a backstreet guy
I bet her mama never told her why
I'm gonna try for an uptown girl
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am

And when she knows what
She wants from her time
And when she wakes up
And makes up her mind
She'll see I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love with an uptown girl
You know I've seen her in her uptown world
She's getting tired of her high class toys
And all her presents from her uptown boys
She's got a choice

Uptown girl
You know I can't afford to buy her pearls
But maybe someday when my ship comes in
She'll understand what kind of guy I've been
And then I'll win
And when she's walking
She's looking so fine
And when she's talking
She'll say that she's mine
She'll say I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love
With and uptown girl

She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am
Uptown girl
She's my uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl

IN THE HOUSE OF STONE AND LIGHT
by Martin Page

O Mount Kailas
Uncover Me
Come My Restoration
Wash my body clean
I've been walking
Along a crooked path
Where the walls have fallen
And broken me in half

I'm telling you
I will not rest till I lay down my head
In the house of stone and light
Make my way O gonna be such a beautiful day
In the house of stone and light

Holy lady
Show me my soul
Tell me of that place
Where I must surely go
Old man waiting
At the gates for me
Give me the wisdom
Give me the key
Let me in beneath my skin
In the house of stone and light

It's been so long
My spirit's been at war
Havasupai Shaman
Let me be reborn
And I will embrace the sun upon my face
Come the day I awake the child inside
In the house of stone and light
And when I go I will o-o-open my eyes
In the house of stone and light
I will see you

In the house of stone and light
I'm looking in beneath my skin
In The House Of Stone And Light
I Must Go

TIME AFTER TIME…
By Cyndi Lauper

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick, and I think of you
Caught up in circles confusion is nothing new
Flashback, warm nights, almost left behind
Suitcases of memories…Time after

Sometimes you picture me I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear what you've said
Then you say - go slow - I fall behind -
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost you can look, and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time

After my picture fades and darkness has turned to gray
Watching through windows, you're wondering
If I'm OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time

If you're lost you can look, and you will find me
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time…

Za sve ovogodišnje maturante... Sretno svima...

DIVLJI BADEM

Vrteli se točkovi mog bicikla.
Gde god je stao taj rulet beše premija.

Smakla se o stepenik njena štikla.
Nekad su pogledi bili čista hemija.

Dobro je počela nedelja,
poslednje pripreme za maturu.
Virili smo u daljine
puni nade.

Preko gimnazijskog bedema,
k'o pravi dekor za avanturu
prosuo je nežni purpur
divlji badem.

Poneli nas vetrovi k'o maslačke.
Jedni su leteli lako, drugi padali.

I curice su postale prve mačke
a loši djaći odjednom svetom vladali.

Sve mi je odlično zvučalo.
Dobro sam stajao tih sezona.
Ljuljale mo oči širom
promenade.

A nju sam sretao slučajno,
uvek je s pogrešnim bila ona,
ali znao sam da sanja
onaj badem.

Stane sve u strofu-dve u baladi:
pustinja prošlih minuta i ova zrna sad.

I pred treći refren već nismo mladi.
Ušla je nedavno sama u kafe "Petrograd".

Suviše tajni u očima,
u zlatni okov joj prstić pao.
Molio me dugi pogled
da je kradem.

Dovraga, kafa je gorčila,
al' taj sam ukus odnekud znao:
probao sam jednom davno
divlji badem.

The Smiths

Take me out tonight
Where there's music and there's people
And they're young and alive
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one
Anymore

Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people and I
Want to see life
Driving in your car
Oh, please don't drop me home
Because it's not my home, it's their
Home, and I'm welcome no more

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine

Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
And in the darkened underpass
I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last
(But then a strange fear gripped me and I
Just couldn't ask)

Take me out tonight
Oh, take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one, da ...
Oh, I haven't got one

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine

Oh, There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out
There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out

Oprostite, ali moram... Povodom svog 400. posta, a i nekom meni zbilja posebnom...

REMORKER

Dolaze snegovi.
Ne vredi, sve više i više mi smetaju studeni.
U kosu me nežno k'o sedefnu šnalicu udeni,
to mi treba -
moj mali zaklon ispod neba.

Otkači šlepove,
nanišani jutro i pusti tu ladju da klizi.
Pronašli su Ameri šifru za to:
"Take it easy" lutko lepa!
Zrela se breskva nebom cepa.

Spusti svetla, oduzmi gas,
smešnih stvari se bojimo.
Misliš da neko pita za nas?
Kao da ne postojimo.

Stavi misli u prazan hod,
stresi zvezde k'o dudove.
I polako nas uči brod
na te plišane sprudove.

I sanjaj...

Odlaze selice.
Lepršaju malena jedra po nebeskoj pučini.
Taj odlazak gusaka uvek me starijim učini
- put do raja.
O, zar je uzvodno do kraja?

Spusti svetla, oduzmi gas,
smešnih stvari se bojimo.
Misliš da neko pita za nas?
Kao da ne postojimo.

Stavi misli u prazan hod,
stresi zvezde k'o dudove.
I polako nas uči brod
na te plišane sprudove.

I sanjaj...
