Missed

He should not be hid
He's just too big
In a cloud please come down
I'd put stars at your feet
Put Mars in your head

Show yourself to me
And I'd believe
I'd moan and I'd weep
Fall silent at your speak
I'd burst in
Full to the brim
Mary lost her head
And let it bleed
Came crying back to me
"My son where's he hid?
Don't deny it
And don't you hide him"

No I've missed him X4

No words
No sign
Mary say
"I'm not lying"
How come he's so big
But good lord he's been hid
Good lord where you hid?
Ha!

No I've missed him X8

Legs

Oh you're divine
Oh you're divine
Oh Oh Oh did I tell you you're divine
Oh Oh Oh Oh did I ever when you were alive

Did it hurt when you bled?
Did it, oh lover boy, oh fever head?
I'll bet you never thought I'd try
Your mouth, my love, was open wide

Singing oh you were going to be my life
Dammit!
Oh Oh Oh Oh you were going to be my life

Did you sing "Oh happy day"?
Singing it
Sing it that time I went away?
Got to ease my aching head
Do you know
No other way cut off your legs oh
Hey oh

Did you ever wish me dead
Oh lover boy, oh fever head?
No you must, no you must not go away
How will you ever walk again?
And I, I might as well be dead
But I could kill you instead...

Rub 'til it bleeds

Speak, I'm listening
Baby, I'm your sweet thing
Believe what I'm saying
God's truth, I'm not lying

I lie steady
Rest your head on me
I'll smooth it nicely
Rub it better 'till it bleeds

And you'll believe me
Caught out again
I'm calling you weak
Getting even

And I, I was joking
Sweet babe, let me stroke it
Take, I'm giving
God's truth, I'm not lying

And you'll believe me
I, I, I'm calling you in
And I'll make it better
I'll rub 'till it bleeds

I'll rub it until it
I'll rub it until it, hey!
I'll rub it until it
I'll rub it until it

I'll rub it until it, hey!
I'll rub it until it
I'll rub it until it
I'll rub it until it

Hook

I was blind
I was lame
I was nothing
'Till you came
You said "Babe,
Make you sing
Make you feel
Like some queen"

Said "I'll take you Kathleen
To your home and mine"
Lord, he hooked me
Fish hook and line

And rode in fucking mad (?)
With a halo of deep black
'Til my love made me gag
Call him Daddy, take my hand

Said "I'll take you Kathleen
To your home and mine"
Good Lord, he hooked me
Fish hook and line

I'm hooked
Oh higher
Oh beautful
Oh higher
Oh beautiful
Oh higher

Now I'm blind and I'm lame
Left with nothing but his stain
"Daddy your maid, she can't sing
She can't feel, she's no queen!"

Said "I'll take you Kathleen
To your home and mine"
Lord he hooked me
Fish hook and line

Said "I'll take you Kathleen
To your home and mine"
Good lord he hooked me
'Leen out of time

Highway '61 revisited
( Bob Dylan )

Well, God said to Abraham "Kill me a son"
Abe said "Man, you must be putting me on"
God said "No"
Abe said "Wha?t"
God said "You do what you want to, Abe but
The next time you see me coming, you'd better run"
Abe said "Where do you want this killing done?"
God said "Out on that Highway 61"

Well, Georgia Sam he had a bloody nose
Welfare department would give him no clothes
He asked poor Howard "Where can i go?"
Howard said "There's only one place i know"
Sam said "Quick man, tell me, i got to run"
Howard just pointed with his gun
He said "that way down on 61"

"Well, Mack the finger" said Louie the King
"I got 40 red white and blue shoe strings
And a thousand telephones that won't ring
You know where I can get rid of these things?"
And he said "Now let me think for a minute son"
Said "Yes that can be easily done
Just take them down on that 61"

That highway
Highway X4

Now the fifth daughter on the twelfth night
Told the first father that things weren't right
"My complexion" she said "is much too white"
He said "Come here and stare up into the light"
And said "Mmm you're right. Let me tell the second mother it's been done"
But the second mother with the seventh son
They were out on that highway 61
Now, the roving gambler was very bored
Trying to create the next world war
And he found a promoter, fell on the floor
And said "I've never engaged in this kind of thing before
But yep, I think it can be easily done"
Highway
"We'll just put some bleachers there out in the sun
Have it out on that 61"

You're caught up in my head
Wet sides from time to time

Me-Jane

Oh damn your chest-beating, just you stop your screaming
It's splitting through my head and swinging from the ceiling
Move it over, Tarzan, can't you see I'm bleeding?

And I'm rolling
Split head
And I'm moving
I'm me-Jane

Split head

To make sense
You're screaming

Don't load it on me
Don't load it all on me

You've got me many walls around here, but no ceiling
Oh, move it over Tarzan! Can't you see I'm bleeding?

Dress

Put on that dress
I'm going out dancing
Starting off red
Gleam and sparkling he'll see me
Music play make me dreamy for dancing
Must be a way that I can dress to please him
It's hard to walk and the dress is not easy
I'm swinging over like a heavy loaded fruit tree

If you put it on
If you put it on
If you put it on
If you put it on

It's sad to see
Lonely or this lonely
Close up my eyes
Dreamy dreamy music make it be alright
Music play make it good for romancing
Must be a way I can dress to please him
Swing and sway everything will be alright
But he's feeling so down tight tonight

If you put it on
If you put it on
If you put it on
If you put it on

You pretty thing
My man says
But I bought you beautiful dresses
You pretty thing

Down by the water

I lost my heart
Under the bridge
To that little girl
So much to me
And now I'm old
And now I holler
She'll never know
Just what I found

That blue eyed girl
(that blue eyed girl)
She said "no more"
(she said "no more")
That blue eyed girl
(that blue eyed girl)
Became blue eyed whore
('came blue eyed whore)
Down by the water
(down by the water)
I took her hand
(I took her hand)
Just like my daughter
(just like my daughter)
Won't see her again
(see her again)

Oh help me jesus
Come through this storm
I had to lose her
To do her harm
I heard her holler
(I heard her holler)
I heard her moan
(I heard her moan)
My lovely daughter
(my lovely daughter)
I took her home
(I took her home)

Little fish. big fish. Swimming in the water.
Come back here, man. gimme my daughter.
Little fish. big fish. Swimming in the water.
Come back here, man. gimme my daughter.
Little fish. big fish. Swimming in the water.
Come back here, man. gimme my daughter ....

I think I'm a mother

You think you'll come over
I'll give you my number
You lover supporter
Then give me your mother
You come take me home and
Take me to your doctor
You think you'll come over?

I think I'm a mother

Roll over, roll over
And roll me a man-a
You lover, my lover
You just roll me over
You give me your mother
A man if I love her
I love her, I'll keep her
I better just keep her

" Come on and support her "
I said to the mother
She said you come over
She said she'd support her
I love her, I kept her
And then she just left and
Alone, I emplore ya
I think I'm a mother
Need your mother, more than ever
Need your mother

Send his love to me

Lover had to leave me
'Cross the desert plain
Turned to me his lady
Tell me "lover wait"

Calling Jesus, please
Send his love to me

Oh, wind and rain they haunt me
Look to the North and pray
Send me, please, his kisses
Send them home today

I'm begging, Jesus, please
Send his love to me

Left alone in desert
This house becomes a hell
This love becomes a tether
This room becomes a cell

Mummy, daddy, please
Send him back to me

How long must I suffer?
Dear God, I've served my time
This love becomes my torture
This love, my only crime
Oh lover please release me
My arms too weak to grip
My eyes to dry for weeping
My lips too dry to kiss

Calling, Jesus, please
Send his love to me
I'm begging, Jesus, please
Send his love to me

The dancer

He came riding fast like a phoenix out of fire flames
He came dressed in black with a cross bearing my name
He came bathed in light and the splendor and glory
I can't believe what the lord has finally sent me

He said dance for me, fanciulla gentile
He said laugh awhile, I can make your heart feel
He said fly with me, touch the face of the true God
And then cry with joy at the depth of my love

'Cause I've prayed days, I've prayed nights
For the lord just to send me home some sign
I've looked long, I've looked far
To bring peace to my black and empty heart

Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, aaaaaah !

My love will stay 'till the river bed run dry
And my love lasts long as the sunshine blue sky
I love him longer as each damn day goes
The man is gone and heaven only knows

'Cause I've cried days, I've cried nights
For the lord just to send me home some sign
Is he near ? is he far ?
Bring peace to my black and empty heart
So long day, so long night
Oh Lord, be near me tonight
Is he near ? is he far ?
Bring peace to my black and empty heart.

THE DESPERATE KINGDOM OF LOVE
Oh love, you were a sickly childAnd how the wind knocked you downPut on your spurs, swagger aroundIn the desperate kingdom of loveHoly water cannot help you nowYour mysterious eyes cannot help youSelling your reason will not bring you throughThe desperate kingdom of loveThere's another who looks from behind your eyesI learn from you how to hideFrom the desperate kingdom of loveAt the end of this burning worldYou'll stand proud, face upheldAnd I'll follow you, into Heaven or HellAnd I'll become, as a girlIn the desperate kingdom of love

THE DARKER DAYS OF ME & HIM
Promises, promisesI'm feeling burnedYou taught me a lessonI didn't want to learnWhy did I come here?Please tell me againWhy did you ask me?Don't say you forgetI long for, I long forI long for my homeI long for a land whereNo man was ever knownWith no neurosisNo psychosisNo psychoanalysisAnd no sadnessI'll pick up the pieces,I'll carry on somehowTape the broken parts togetherAnd limp this love aroundLimp this love around

AS AGUAS DO RIO

processo de destruição
acelerado pelo macaco pelado

o lixo que desce
com as águas dos rios
o fundo dos oceanos
subir

o movimento das águas
nações sem e outras com

água
mais valiosa
que a vida
da raça pensante

RELAÇÃO DIGNA DO HOMEM E SEU CAVALO

passado alienado
parente transporta a flor
reparti-la sem egoísmo

responder ao insulto é fugir
é não fugir
o incomodo persegue

proteger-se da chuva
a morte não é o fim

doe o excedente
em direção ao resultado da fuga

fugir é ceder
(o q t incomoda) é perder
enfraquecer
não lutar
abrir mão do dever

desistir é largar as armas
morrer é desapontar
viver é lutar

o sonho é um treino pra morte

http://xupacabras.weblog.com.pt/

ALIENAÇÂO

Algo nas mãos
Passa a ser o centro de atenção

Sentimento relembrado
Como quando se ganha um brinquedo novo
E todo o resto é secundário

Bondade, paixão e ignorância diariamente
Há a quarta opção

Impelido a conhecer gente nova
Socialista incapaz

Para diminuir a culpa
Sem pressa
Inquieto
Se esquece que faz o que quer

Hora de descansar nos braços de florzinha
Outra vez
Mais do mesmo ou mesmo demais

Para a mãe do mundo:

Não deveria esta sentindo esta dor
Estou chorando por ser tão difícil te amar

Estou chorando por você, florzinha
Minha vida era um vulcão
E você entrou e acendeu o fogo

O tempo em que resisti me envolver pesa agora

Você se casou e eu me rendi a Krishna
Desisti de religião e você tem um filho
Falo o que penso que sou e você é livre

Não me magoe
Seja sincera
Não sou confiável
Mas estou caído por você

Cesar maia vai ganhar assim como bush ganhou: em cima de enganação e manipulação.

Cesar está à frente das pesquisas de voto para as próximas eleições no Rio.

O que ele tem de melhor que os outros?
É o atual prefeito, tem a melhor propaganda, mais espaço na midia, aparece em todos os out-doors de candidatos a vereador filiados a seu partido.

O inconsciente coletivo é manipulado por essas imagens:
Eu tenho que votar. Não sei em quem pois são todos iguais, prometendo mundos e fundos. Há anos que voto e não percebo nenhuma mudança pra melhor. Por que será? Será porque os eleitos ficam tempo insuficiente no cargo, de modo que não conseguem desenvolver projetos, ficando eles pendentes, sendo necessários mais quatro anos de mandato para cumprí-los?
Sendo assim, seria melhor extender o período de mandato para seis anos, ao invés de quatro. Seria melhor haverem eleições a cada ano ou dois, pois só assim mais coisas seriam feitas.
Politicos brincam como podem (somem do mapa) nos dois primeiros anos de mandato, e nos dois ultimos começam a quebrar as cidades e se mostrar pra população: caos nas estradas e vias interditadas para obras.
Esmola

Varios out-doors de candidatos têm, ao fundo, o Pão de Açúcar ou o Cristo Redentor: símbolos de status e desenvolvimento social. Querem eles dizer com isso que o resto da cidade vai ficar como aquela zona? A mentalidade mesquinha burguesa (nome desatualizado: atualizar para capitalista ou empresarial) é passada pr’aqueles que carecem de melhorias, sendo levados a pensar que vão ter um Cristo na sua esquina, depois que Fulano ganhar seu voto. E comida? E saúde? E educação?
Já é sabido que um homem sozinho não pode modificar essa situação de desigualdade que se arrasta há quinhentos anos em nosso país. Mas eles prometem que isso vai mudar. E a população acredita. Nada melhora. E a população continua acreditando, assim como ainda acreditam em papai noel e super-herói.
Segundo Michael Moore, Bush ganhou – depois de todas as emissoras norte-americanas terem anunciado a vitória pra Gore – só porque a Fox disse isso. As outras emissoras – dado o respeito que a Fox tem (qual a nossa Fox mesmo, plim-plim?) – voltaram atrás e aceitaram o que a toda poderosa Fox disse. Gore já cantava vitória, mas teve que ceder seu lugar ao sol pro rival Bush.

Não sei não. Não acredito nesses caras. É muito fácil manipular a opinião pública quando se tem espaço na mídia. Ela é a arma mais poderosa na nossa sociedade hoje em dia. É um falando mal do outro (grande exemplo da imperfeição do sistema). Não há candidato perfeito, mas um tem que ser o escolhido. O que tiver melhor preparado pra manipular, anulado o discernimento de quem os assiste, ganha. Robótica, acomodada e zumbizada, a população sofre na mão desses soldados do poder imposto.

Ball and Chain ( in album Live at Winterland '68 ) Lyrics
Artist: Janis Joplin
Album: Live at Winterland '68


Yeah! Alright!

Sittin' down by my window,
Honey, lookin' out at the rain.
Lord, Lord, Lord, sittin' down by my window,
Baby, lookin' out at the rain.
Somethin' came along, grabbed a hold of me,
And it felt just like a ball and chain.
Honey, that's exactly what it felt like,
Honey, just dragging me down.

And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, now hon', tell me why,

Now, love's just draggin' me down, baby, yeah,
Feels like a ball and chain.
I hope there's someone out there who could tell me
Why the man I love wanna leave me in so much pain.
Yeah, maybe, maybe you could help me, come on, help me!

And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, now hon', tell me why,

Only it ain't wrong, no, no, no, no, no.

Sittin' down by my window,
Lookin' at the rain.

A Esfera e a Corrente


Sentado na minha janela,
Docinho, olhando para a chuva lá fora.
Senhor, Senhor, Senhor, Sentad@ na minha janela
Bebê, olhando para a chuva lá fora.
Algo veio ao longo, me apertou num abraço
e senti como se fosse uma esfera e uma corrente.
Docinho, é exatamente o que parecia,
Docinho, me arrastando para abaixo.

E eu digo, oh, whoa, whoa, agora, doce, diga-me porque, Por que cada pequenina coisa que me prendo sai
errado?

Yeah tudo sai errado, yeah.
E eu digo, oh, whoa, whoa, agora bebê, diga-me porque, O que faz cada coisa, cada coisa.
Hey, você se foi daqui hoje, eu procurei amar você,
Docinho, eu procurei apenas agarrá-lo, eu disse, por um bom tempo, É! Tudo bem! Ei!

O amor me pegou, bebê,
Parece uma esfera e uma corrente.
Agora, o amor está me arrastando para abaixo, bebê, yeah, Se parece como uma esfera e uma corrente.
Eu espero que lá fora exista alguém que possa me dizer porque a pessoa que amo queria me largar em tanta dor. Yeah, talvez, talvez você possa me ajudar, venha, ajuda-me!

E eu digo, oh, whoa, whoa, agora doce, diga-me porque, me diga agora, me diga, me diga, me diga, me diga, me diga porque.
E eu digo, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, quando eu lhe perguntar, quando eu precisar saber porque, venha me dizem porque, hey hey hey,

Eu procurei amar e agarrar você
Até o dia da minha morte.
Eu disse o whoa, whoa, whoa!!

Isso não é justo, agora, agora, agora, o que você faz;
Eu digo, doce, isso não é justo, doce, não é justo o que você faz .
Oh, você se foi daqui hoje e tudo o que eu queria
era amá-lo
Docinho, eu penso que lá não deve haver nada diferente daqui, e isto não está errado, No., No., No., No., Sentado na minha janela,
Olhando para a chuva.
Senhor, Senhor, Senhor, sentado na minha janela, Olhando para a chuva, veja a chuva.
Algo veio ao longo, me tascando um abraço,
E eu senti como uma esfera e uma corrente.
Oh isto não pode ser em vão
E vou te contar mais uma vez, yeah, yeah!

E eu digo oh, whoa do whoa, agora bebê
Isso não pode ser, nada disso pode ser em vão,

e uma corrente.
Yeah!

Oh Docinho, você não sabe como é bom estar de volta em casa, obrigado. Tudo bem! "Harry" ? Não., não. "Isto é um negócio". Não. "Down em Me", vamos fazê-lo

Desiludido com a empresa que trabalho



A empresa em que trabalho quer crescer, se manter e, para isso vem fudendo os funcionários menores. Somos marionetes servindo ao poder vertical decrescente.
Não saí daqui ainda pois não quero enfrentar o fantasma do desemprego.

Daqui já não espero mais nada. É só eu arranjar algo lá fora e chuto o balde na cabeça desses Joãos: Servos do capital e da ganância, que não respeitam quem trabalha pra eles e até pra seus clientes.

Eles não merecem a nossa boa vontade. Fazemos o impossível pra segurar alunos que querem sair por causa das normas burras da instituição que, como sempre, vêm lá de cima- do poderio vertical-, de quem está fora da realidade. A unica realidade que eles conhecem é a do capital, do lucro doa a quem doer (menos neles). O resto que se foda, desde que eles multipliquem e mantenham seu poder sobre o mundo, com a falsa proposta de educar. (esse não é o fim deles. Cegos pelo poder)

Já fiquei sem férias, porque alguém - é sempre assim: as ordens chegam lá de cima. Provavelmente da sala de reuniões da corja engravatada - decidiu que descontariam os dez dias de ressesso QUE NOS DERAM em dezembro passado. E agora nos tiram (como é comum no capitalismo. Eles não jogam pra perder). Além disso, me tiraram (e de mais alguns funcionários: os que não espernearam. Ou não espernearam tanto) mais quinze dias das 'férias coletivas' QUE VÂO DAR em dezembro agora, de 2004 (e que sei que nem foi autorizado pelo sindicato ainda). Ou seja: me sobraram seis dias de férias. Puto da vida, os recusei, os vendi pra eles.

Agora veio uma ordem de que o setor onde me encontro não mais existe. Foi anexado à Secretaria de Alunos. Vou fazer o mesmo serviço que eles, mas recebendo salário menor.
A mudança vai ser devagar (palavras deles), mas já se diz que isso está acontecendo porque a empresa vai perder a filantropia. Os funcionários atuais vão ficar caros pra ela (pois ganhamos bem pra não fazer porra nenhuma. É um verdadeiro desperdício de dinheiro). E quem paga pela mudança? Advinhe.
O medo de demissão percorre os ociosos (departamentos superiores). Eu, particularmente, quero é que me demitam. Já me formei mesmo.

Isso fora coisinhas do dia-a-dia: chefe que só é chefe quando lhe convém. Na hora de ajudar o funcionário contra os superiores, tira o corpo fora; panelinhas que se formam e promovem quem quiserem e não quem merece; abuso e briga por poder dentro de setores; pessoal da limpeza que não limpa como deveria; benefícios dados a quem tem dinheiro e sabe gritar, quem é pobre que se foda;

Resumindo: A empresa se expandiu e não soube cuidar das internas. Se preocupou em angariar novos clientes e parcerias mas deixou que o mal crescesse entre os seus setores.
Como funcionário me sinto esquecido. Tenho minhas obrigações mas não tenho retorno, só desilusão. Preciso me humilhar se quiser crescer aqui dentro. Não preciso disso, obrigado.

Tenho que saber ultrapassar os obstáculos. Não tomar atitudes drásticas de cabeça quente e não se render, não cair.

Sobre Bierce :

Norte americano, nascido em 1842, Ambrose foi o décimo dos treze
filhos de Marcus Aurelios Bierce.

A casa onde cresceu , dizem os biógrafos, era estranha e tinha um
aspecto macabro. Seu pai era um fanático religioso, amante da poesia e
dominado pela mulher. O casal acabou perdendo os três filhos mais
novos, fazendo assim com que Ambrose se tornasse o caçula.

Já crescidos os irmãos Bierce se desentenderam e se dividiram em
grupos antagônicos, odiando-se mutuamente. Um deles se rebelou contra
o fanatismo religioso da família e fugiu para ser artista de circo.
Uma irmã, ao contrário, assumiu toda a superstição paterna e viajou
para ser missionária na África, onte teria sido, inclusive, devorada
por canibais.

Meio sem rumo, o jovem Bierce acabou entrando no exército através da
influência de um tio aventureiro. Nesta situação participou da guerra
da secessão onde apresentou uma destacada bravura e um certo
sentimento suicida. Acabou baleado na cabeça. Depois de curado, e
incomodado com a vida de segundo-tenente, pegou uma moeda, jogou para
cima e decidiu no "cara ou coroa" se seguiria a vida militar ou
entraria para o jornalimo. As forças armadas perderam. Na nova
carreira Ambrose se destacou pelas charges políticas e pelos
editoriais arrasadores impregnados de sarcasmo. Também foi autor de 68
histórias curtas (ou contos) cujos ingredientes principais são o
fantástico, o humor negro e a guerra.

O curioso é que ele teria passado algum tempo aqui no Brasil, mais
especificamente em Porto Alegre, atuando como correspondente de Buenos
Aires para o jornal Tribune de Nova Yorque. Ele teria enviado ao
Tribune um total de 62 cadernos, com 50 folhas cada um, onde analisava
os aspectos políticos e sociais da nossa província. Isto pode ou não
ser verdade pois o período em questão (1892) é o mais obscuro e
indefinido da sua existência. De qualquer forma sabe-se que em 1913
Bierce parte dos Estados Unidos em direção ao México supostamente para
cobrir as guerrilhas dos rebelados de Pancho Villa.

Nunca mais foi visto.

"Minha independência é meu patrimônio. É minha literatura. Escrevo
para agradar a mim mesmo, não importando quem saia ferido".Ambrose
