Summer. Tom Waits - Hoist That Rag

Літо так просто не залишає, тож готуємось триматися докі осінь не підійде.


Well we stick our fingers in the ground,
heave and turn the world around
Smoke is blacking out the sun
At night I pray and clean my gun
The cracked bell rings as the ghost bird sings
and the gods go begging here
So just open fire
When you hit the shore
All is fair in love and war
Hoist that rag

Covers. Amy Winehouse - Valerie




Орігинал The Zutons - Valerie

Well sometimes I go out by myself and I look across the water
And I think of all the things that you're doing
And in my head I make a picture

'Cos since I've come on home, well, my body's been a mess
And I've missed your ginger hair and the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over, stop making a fool out of me
Why won't you come on over, Valerie, Valerie?

Did you have to go to jail, put your house on up for sale,
Did you get a good lawyer?
I hope you didn't catch a tan,
I hope you find the right man who'll fix it for you,
Are you shopping anywhere, changed the color of your hair,
Are you busy?
And did you have to pay the fine you were dodging all the time,
Are you still dizzy?

Summer. Cover. UB40 - Johnny Too Bad

Ця річ реггей-групи The Slickers вийшла у 1972, саундтрек до ямайського фільму. Ямайське кіно щось не визиває довіри, то я вам його не раджу.

Walking down the road
With a pistol in your waist
Johnny you're too bad
Walking down the road
With a ratchet in your waist
Johhny you're too bad

You're just robbin' and stabbin'
And lootin' and shooting'
You're too bad
You're too bad

One of these day's
When you hear a voice say come
Where you gonna run to?
One of these day's
When you hear a voice say come
Where you gonna run to?

You're gonna run to the rock
For rescue, there'll be no rock
You're gonna run to the rock
For rescue, there'll be no rock

Репліка дня. Нарешті.

For Cassandra. Scott Walker - Always Coming Back To You


What was it like when we were young
Sleeping in eachothers arms
Walking in eachothers dreams
Was it only yesterday
I've forgotten anyway

What was it like to hear your name
Where's the girl that I once knew
Running home thru winter parks
Arm in arm and heart in heart
Now like children in the dark
We hold hands and watch the rain

When you kissed my eyes awake
Running mornings crowded streets
Just to find we've missed our bus
but we'd laugh, kiss, what the hell

When you'd burst in from the rain
Clasp my head between your hands,
kiss away the darkest day
Always there to understand.
You could make me proud again

Now I go aimlessly at night
Sleep with faces I don't know
Always coming back to you
and the shadows of this room

I must search you eyes again
Just to find that they are dead

Always coming back to you
