Billie Holiday - Strange fruit

Southern trees bear strange fruit,
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root,
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze,
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.

Pastoral scene of the gallant south,
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth,
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh,
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh.

Here is fruit for the crows to pluck,
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck,
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop,
Here is a strange and bitter crop.

[Tony Montana]

Norah Jones -- Come Away with me


Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song

Come away with me on a bus
Come away with me where they can't tempt us
With their lies

I want to walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows
knee kigh
So won't you try to come

Come away with me and we'll kiss
On a mountain top
Come away with me
And I'll never stop loving you

And I want to wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While I'm safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me in the night
Come away with me

Και καλά, επειδή έχει το σαξοφωνάκι, το βάζω εδώ, γιατί είναι ακόμα πιο άκυρο στα άλλα topics...

Morcheeeba - Rome wasn't built in a day

You and me we're meant to be
Walking free in harmony
One fine day we'll fly away
Don't you know that Rome wasn't built in a day

In this day and age it's so easy to stress
'Cause people are strange and you can never second guess
In order to love child we got to be strong
I'm caught in the crossfire why can't we get along

'Cause you and me we're meant to be
Walking free in harmony
One fine day we'll fly away
Don't you know that Rome wasn't built in a day

I'm having a daydream, we're getting somewhere
I'm kissing your lips and running fingers through your hair
I'm as nervous as you 'bout making it right
Though we know we were wrong, we can't give up the fight
Oh no

'Cause you and me we're meant to be
Walking free in harmony
One fine day we'll run away
Don't you know that Rome wasn't built in a day

Joe Cocker - You cal leave your hat on

Baby, take off your coat, real slow.
Baby, take off your shoes. I'll help you take off your shoes.
Baby, take off your dress. Yes, yes, yes.

You can leave your hat on.
You can leave your hat on.
You can leave your hat on.

Go over there, turn on the light. All the lights.
Come over here, stand on the chair. Yeah, that's right!
Raise your arms in the air, now shake 'em.

You give me reason to live.
You give me reason to live.
You give me reason to live.
You give me reason to live.

Sweet darling
You cal leave your hat on
You cal leave your hat on, baby
You cal leave your hat on
You cal leave your hat on

Suspicious minds are talking. They're tryin' to tear us apart.
They don't believe this love of mine.
They don't know what love is.
They don't know what love is.
They don't know what love is.
They don't know what love is.
I know what love is.

You can leave your hat on.
You can leave your hat on.
You can leave your hat on.
You can leave your hat on.

Από τους πιο θλιβερούς στίχους, αναφέρεται στη ζωή των μαύρων στα χωράφια του αμερικάνικου νότου, αλλά δε παύει να μιλάει και για τη ζωή του κάθε κολασμένου εργάτη-σκλάβου ακόμα και σήμερα στα όχι τόσο μακρινά χωράφια ή θερμοκήπια, της Μανωλάδας λόγου χάρη. Παράξενο φρούτο η ευημερία ε;
