A Hundred Years Ago

Well, well, well!

A hundred years is a very long time,

Ho, yes, ho!

A hundred years is a very long time,

A hundred years ago.

They used to think that pigs could fly

Ho, yes, ho!

I don't believe it, no, not I.

A hundred years ago.

They thought the stars were set a-light,

Ho, yes, ho!

By some angels every night,

A hundred years ago.

They thought he moon was made of cheese.

Ho, yes, ho!

You can believe it if you please.

A hundred years ago.

A hundred years is a very long time,

Ho, yes, ho!

A hundred years is a very long time,

A hundred years ago.

They hung a man for making steam,

Ho, yes, ho!

They cast his body in the stream.

A hundred years ago.

They thought the stars were set a-light,

Ho, yes, ho!

By some angels every night,

A hundred years ago.

I thought I heard our old man say,

Ho, yes, ho!

That we were homeward bound today,

It's time for us to go!

A hundred years is a very long time,

Ho, yes, ho!

A hundred years is a very long time,

A hundred years ago.

Days long, long forgotten

Way up from the bottom

Even if I know what to say

No one can hear me anyway

I shall refine my voice

Seems so obvious now

God, I feel this is never-ending

Still it seems like I'm at the start

Stuck between what is ever-changing

Stuck between what disappears to dust

No fields of gold to hit my eyes

Just silver rain falling from the skies

Devil's new robe is a compromise

I'll bring it down!

This is the thing that bugs me greatly (greatly), greatly

Trying to find a treasure in the mist

Can't resist

This is the thing that bugs me daily (daily), daily

Striving for what others have dismissed

So put me on blacklist

I need to find those who've been enlisted

I'm pretty sure they would comprehend

What is worth they do know, they know me

Lonely I've been for damn so long, there are

No fields of gold to hit my eyes

Just silver rain falling from the skies

Devil's new robe is a compromise

I'll bring it down!

This is the thing that bugs me greatly (greatly), greatly

Trying to find a treasure in the mist

Can't resist

This is the thing that bugs me daily (daily), daily

Striving for what others have dismissed

So put me on blacklist

This is the thing that bugs me greatly

Trying to find a treasure in the mist

This is the thing that bugs me daily

Striving for what others have dismissed

So put me on blacklist

The minute I felt the urge

I knew I couldn’t stay static

The urge it was that made me

Storm into the room without a mask.

They all took it down in the moment

I laughed out hard,

the urge it was that made us,

So there we stood, pink and nosy lads.

It all felt fine, it all felt good, so said the urge

So said the urge

No matter what your size is,

Or what your past has been,

The urge it was that made us

Stick to what the life is all about.

I ain’t understand why you’re so thrilled about that gunning thing,

But I love in spite of what is different so.

It all felt fine, it all felt good, so said the urge

So said the urge

And the daytime's a strange time

Every photograph steals my soul

And the nighttime's the right time

When the world is out of control

Blueberries shaped like the moon seem like oranges

Blueberries shaped like the moon

Blueberries shaped like the moon seem like oranges

Blueberries shaped like my stool

Fitting jeans, on your bottom, I find it arousing, 

yet the bottom is none, in the pit I am standing

put in, in...

When will we stop the dream, the painful dream, 

full of me and you, the other you I mean

Stop the dream

I’ve been so down and I

Walk alone, as you walk along

With me.

And one time I ran thru the town,

Running so damn fast, yet I

Couldn’t shake you off.

Desperate thru and thru

Having heard that, too

So who takes care of you?

Who takes care of you…

…..

And one time I ran thru the town,

Running so damn fast, yet I

Couldn’t shake you off,

I sat down and bit my arm.

It’s a warning sign

Such strange, strange vibrations I’m feeling

I don’t even try, if it’s all that you’ve got

You can keep it

To yourself.

………

Every day I ponder what you can offer me

But nothing comes to mind, it ain’t no help

One of the things, I reflect, is that you can give nowt

And all the other things are just stupid.

All your light has disappeared into the shade.

Well I don’t even try

You’re just a little sly

I don’t even try

Since it’s all you got, go to hell

I don’t even try

You’re just a little sly

Now you’re trying so hard to confide

The last time I was with you I felt so damn drained

And I ain’t gonna let you do it over.

It’s not like that, that’s no give-and-take

Coz things you’ve got to give

Coz things you’ve got to give are all stupid.

So he was walking down the street

To the house where he would

Say all his goodbyes at last.

He couldn’t live near this place

Though he sure ador’d

His friends and family, his face.

There was a bag in his hand

He had to hurry so that

He could still kiss his friend.

And then he did, and on the train

Smile spread on his face

As the train was passing the lane.

There’s something else to grab onto,

School does not matter

Unless you know not what to do.

Comparison is always stressed,

He flouted that now

As he started to like himself.

Treasure yourself, don’t seek approval,

You’re strong and you’re kind,

Be sure this is what you can do.

And so the lane is now long gone,

You’ll be back again

But now it is all about you.

.. Now try to think, it’s good at times

Those times when the fresh air

Fills up your lungs at last…

The turtle named Jo’s crawling on the floor

It takes some time to reach me. (2x)

And as she spoke I heard somebody joke

That speaking was not her strong suit. (2x)

………

I didn’t miss a word and so I was told

That I was supposed to linger. (2x)

Should someone say it was an ordinary day

I would tell him “you’re insane“ (2x)

Should someone say it was an ordinary day

I would tell him “No, no, wait, I’m insane“

…..

The turtle named Jo’s crawling on the floor...

Sám uvidím / až vůně dálek duši mou zas uhranou

Sám uslyším / v té dáli hledám hlasy silné jako zvon

Nestíhám si brát ze všech skrytých krás

Mám své osobní bohy, které i ty znáš

Čerpám z nich sílu skládat plány ze snů

A tahle

Má píseň je vyznání, že chci rozvířit vír, spustit spoušť

Dál vstoupím bez vyzvání, když mě z guest listu vyškrtnou

Sám uvidím / až vůně dálek duši mou zas uhranou

Sám uslyším / v té dáli hledám hlasy silné jako zvon

Nestíhám si brát ze všech skrytých krás

Mám své osobní bohy, které i ty znáš

Čerpám z nich sílu skládat plány ze snů

A tahle

Má píseň je vyznání, že chci rozvířit vír, spustit spoušť

Dál vstoupím bez vyzvání, když mě z guest listu vyškrtnou

Nejlíp soupeří, kdo svému srdci věří

To když se rozbuší, vím kam se dát

Má píseň je vyznání

Jdu k vám / se všemi z vás už počítám

Nejlíp soupeří, kdo svému srdci věří

To když se rozbuší, vím kam se dát

Má píseň je vyznání

Jdu k vám / se všemi z vás už počítám

Je mi těžko

Je mi těžko mezi vámi všemi

Je mi těžko mezi vámi všemi

Je mi

Jedu, vědom si svých končetin,

V sedu, zrcadlí se skromně

Ramena moje, a ramena tvoje.

V sedu, snažím se neotočit.

V klidu, kouska se pootočit

‘Bych potajnu seznal, zda mě pohledy míjí.

Míjí mě, míjí mojí hlavu.

Míjí se, roztříští se v davu,

Ten tiše tu stojí, a srdce se bojí.

A líto je, že mezi těmi všemi,

Pohledy na zemi

Je mi…

Je mi těžko

Je mi těžko mezi vámi všemi

Je mi těžko mezi vámi všemi

Je mi

Vykopal jámu, jámu

Rukama svýma vyhloubil jámu

A tu mrtvou

Tu mrtvou do ní dal

Celou studenou a smutnou,

Že už není,

Že drahý Orfeův zpěv náhle skončil,

Ba skončil pro ní.

To tedy ne,

Má milá

Věř, že mně tě spravedlivý bůh Hádes vrátí

A budem zpívat

Tam v Thákii na lukách se budem líbat…

To tedy jo,

Šel na západ

A listy ho vedli

A tráva

Klonila stébla

Ta jej vedla

Až dovedla na cypřišovou pláň plnou černých skal,

A to je jeho hráz, vaše hráz, tyto černé skály…

Counting down,

Any minute now,

Resolutions set

And my

Plan number one is that

I’m going to be nice.

I’m gonna stop smoking cigars

Drinking soda for a while

I shall never date nobody unstable…

I’m going to read all the three

Books of John’s Lord of the Rings

I’m gonna watch Green Mile at last

And finish Harry Potter fast

At long last, at long last…

It’s resolution time, let it go.

Blank heart and an empty mouth, have a go.

It’s resolution time, let it go, let it go, let it go… 

It’s a temporary thing

Temporarily I’m in love.

A married couple

Over sixty

Lived together

In a town.

Their two bodies

Had commenced changing

That is aging

That is life

So the man then

About the town to dream of girls

Whose little skirts

Turned him on and

When he saw one

He remembered

His wife and he said to himself

“Oh my love, I wish you were her”

I wish you were her…

So how about it

The time is passing

Nevertheless we’ve still got porn

But someday even porn won’t save me

Til’ that happens I want sex more, so -

I wish you were her….
