letra de Germaine
I do think that women could make politics irrelevant.

By as a kind of spontaneous cooperative action,

the like of which we have never seen.

Which is so far from people's ideas of state structure

and vital social structure that seems to them like total anarchy.

And what it really is is very subtle forms of interrellation

which do not follow sort of hierachical pattern which is

fundamentally patriarchal.

The opposite to patriarchy is not matriarchy but fraternity.

And I think it's women who are going to have to

break this spiral of power

and find the trick of cooperation.

letra de Fire on Babylon
She took my father from my life oh

Took my sister and brothers oh

I watched her torturing my child

Feeble I was then but now I'm grown

Fire on Babylon

Oh yes a change has come

Fire on Babylon

Fire

Fire

Fire

She's taken everything I liked

She's taken every lover oh

And all along she gave me lies

Just to make me think I loved her

Fire on Babylon

Oh yes a change has come

Look what she did to her son

Fire

Fire

Fire on

Life's backwards

Life's backwards

People turn around

The house is burned

The house is burned

The children are gone

Fire

Fire on Babylon

Oh yes a change has come

Fire on Babylon

Fire on Babylon

Oh yes a change has come

Look what she did to her son

John I love youVer letra

letra de John I love you
John I love you

I'm ever so fond of you

Will you wait for me

'Til I am heavenly

Oh there's much work to do

But I love you

Oh you're tender

Your name's a whisper

I let tears fall like rain

Apple-sized they were

All over her

And through all of those times

When you could have died

This is what you find

There's life outside your mother's garden

There's life beyond your wildest dreams

There hasn't been any explosion

We're not spinning like Dorothy

If you look now then you'll see why

Don't be afraid to cry

This time don't let yourself fly

Child

Pick up those dancing shoes

Kick off those wedding blues

These are the ways

You can choose

Child you're tender

Your name's a whisper

There's life outside your mother's garden

There's life beyond your wildest dreams

There hasn't been any explosion

We're not spinning like Dorothy

And if you look now then you'll see why

Don't be afraid to cry

This time don't let yourself fly

Child

Pick up those dancing shoes

Kick off those wedding blues

These are the ways

You can choose

Child I love you

I'm ever so fond of you

Me little ninja

Am I a human

It's very good

Maybe I am

It's very nice

The feelings in me

And the fire

Keeps me warm
Red footballVer letra

[X]
letra de Red football
I'm not no red football

To be kicked around the garden

No no I'm a red christmas-tree ball

And I'm fragile

I'm not no animal

Though I am to you

I'm not no crocodile

Like the one in Dublin Zoo

Who lived in a cage

the length and breadth of his body

When a window which people would look through

And throw coins on his back to taunt him

'though he couldn't move

Even if he wanted to

I'm not no animal in the zoo

I'm not no whipping boy for you

You may not treat me like you do

I'm not no animal in the zoo

My skin is not a football for you

My head is not a football for you

My body's not a football for you

My womb is not a football for you

My heart is not a football for you

I'm not no animal in the zoo

This animal will jump up and eat you

I'm not no animal in the zoo

And I've every intention

Of leaping up and getting you

letra de All apologies
What else should I be

All apologies

What else should I say

Everyone is gay

What else could I write

I don't have the right

What else should I be

All apologies

In the sun

In the sun I feel as one

In the sun

In the sun

I'm married

Buried

Buried

I wish I was like you

Easily amused

Find my nest of salt

Everything's my fault

I'll take all the blame

Aqua sea-foam shame

Sunburn with freezer-burn

Choking on the ashes of her enemy

In the sun

In the sun I feel as one

In the sun

In the sun

I'm married

Buried

Buried

All in all is all we all are

All in all is all we all are

All in all is all we all are

All in all is all we all are

All in all is all we all are

All in all is all we all are

letra de A perfect indian
A Perfect Indian is he

Remembering him life is sweet

Like a weeping willow

His face on my pillow

Comes to me still in my dreams

And there I saw a young baby

A beautiful daughter was she

A face from a painting

Red cheeks and teeth aching

Her eyes like a wild Irish sea

On a table in her yellow dress

For a photograph feigned happiness

Why in my life is that the only time

That any of you will smile at me

I'm sailing on this terrible ocean

I've come for my self to retrieve

Too long have I been feeling like Lir's children

And there's only one way to be free

He's shy and he speaks quietly

He's gentle and he seems to me

Like the elf-arrow

His face worn and harrowed

Is he a daydreamer like me

I'm sailing on this terrible ocean

I've come for my self to retrieve

Too long have I been feeling like Lir's children

And there's only one way to be free
Scorn not his simplicityVer letra

letra de Scorn not his simplicity
See the child

With the golden hair

Yet eyes that show the emptiness inside

Do we know

Can we understand just how he feels

Or have we really tried

See him now

As he stands alone

And watches children play a children's game

Simple child

He looks almost like the others

Yet they know he's not the same

Scorn not his simplicity

But rather try to love him all the more

Scorn not his simplicity

Oh no

Oh no

See him stare

Not recognizing the kind face

That only yesterday he loved

The loving face

Of a mother who can't understand

what she's been guilty of

How she cried, tears of happiness

the day the doctor told her it's a boy

Now she cries tears of helplessness

and thinks of all the things he can't enjoy

Scorn not his simplicity

But rather try to love him all the more

Scorn not his simplicity

Oh no

Oh no

Only he knows how to face the future hopefully

Surrounded by despair

He won't ask for your pity or your sympathy

But surely you should care

Scorn not his simplicity

But rather try to love him all the more

Scorn not his simplicity

Oh no

Oh no

Oh no

letra de All babies
All babies are born saying God's name

Over and over,

All born singing God's name

All babies are flown from the Universe

From there they're lifted by the hands of angels

God gives them the stars to use as ladders

She hears their calls

She is mother and father

All babies are born out of great pain

Over and over

All born into great pain

All babies are crying

For no-one remembers God's name

All babies are born saying God's name

Over and over,

All born singing God's name

All babies are flown from the Universe

From there they're lifted by the hands of angels

God gives them the stars to use as ladders

She hears their calls

She is mother and father

All babies are born out of great pain

Over and over

All born into great pain

All babies are crying

For no-one remembers God's name

letra de In this heart
In this heart lies for you

A lark born only for you

Who sings only to you

My love

My love

My love

I am waiting for you

For only to adore you

My heart is for you

My love

My love

My love

This is my grief for you

For only the loss of you

The hurting of you

My love

My love

My love

There are rays on the weather

Soon these tears will have cried

All loneliness have died

My love

My love

My love

I will have you with me

In my arms only

For you are only

My love

My love

My love

letra de Tiny grief song
I'd a terrible broken heart

I'd a terrible broken heart

I'd a terrible broken heart

I'd a terrible broken heart

You were born on the day my mother was buried.

My grief, my grief, my grief, my grief, my grief.

You were born on the day my mother was buried.

My grief, my grief, my grief, my grief, my grief.
