Artist: Bob Dylan

Låt: John Brown

Album: MTV Unplugged [Den är dock äldre än albumet, som är från '95]

Text:

John Brown went off to war to fight on a foreign shore.

His mama sure was proud of him!

He stood straight and tall in his uniform and all.

His mama's face broke out all in a grin.

"Oh son, you look so fine, I'm glad you're a son of mine,

You make me proud to know you hold a gun.

Do what the captain says, lots of medals you will get,

And we'll put them on the wall when you come home."

As that old train pulled out, John's ma began to shout,

Tellin' ev'ryone in the neighborhood:

"That's my son that's about to go, he's a soldier now, you know."

She made well sure her neighbors understood.

She got a letter once in a while and her face broke into a smile

As she showed them to the people from next door.

And she bragged about her son with his uniform and gun,

And these things you called a good old-fashioned war.

Oh! Good old-fashioned war!

Then the letters ceased to come, for a long time they did not come.

They ceased to come for about ten months or more.

Then a letter finally came saying, "Go down and meet the train.

Your son's a-coming home from the war."

She smiled and went right down, she looked everywhere around

But she could not see her soldier son in sight.

But as all the people passed, she saw her son at last,

When she did she could hardly believe her eyes.

Oh his face was all shot up and his hand was all blown off

And he wore a metal brace around his waist.

He whispered kind of slow, in a voice she did not know,

While she couldn't even recognize his face!

Oh! Lord! Not even recognize his face.

"Oh tell me, my darling son, pray tell me what they done.

How is it you come to be this way?"

He tried his best to talk but his mouth could hardly move

And the mother had to turn her face away.

"Don't you remember, Ma, when I went off to war

You thought it was the best thing I could do?

I was on the battleground, you were home . . . acting proud.

You wasn't there standing in my shoes."

"Oh, and I thought when I was there, God, what am I doing here?

I'm a-tryin' to kill somebody or die tryin'.

But the thing that scared me most was when my enemy came close

And I saw that his face looked just like mine."

Oh! Lord! Just like mine!

"And I couldn't help but think, through the thunder rolling and stink,

That I was just a puppet in a play.

And through the roar and smoke, this string is finally broke,

And a cannon ball blew my eyes away."

As he turned away to walk, his Ma was still in shock

At seein' the metal brace that helped him stand.

But as he turned to go, he called his mother close

And he dropped his medals down into her hand.

Låt: Same Old Song

Album: ??:">

Same old song

You're welcome to my world, dark side of the universe

I'll take you for a spin, the mayhem begins

The media mouth is feeding and chemical youth that's screaming

The circus starts to roll, there's no turning back

You think it's right, you made you're mind

I've seen so many cross that line

I've seen them come, I've seen them go, times will never change

It's the same old song - The same old song

That's playing again - The same old song

Your soul is burning bright, high hopes of future in sight

Beyond the horizon lays a world that's so black

They'll try to shape your mind and make you walk the line

Don't let them steal your dreams, its all that you've got

You start to doubt, you changed your mind

I've seen so many cross that line

I've seen them come, I've seen them go, times will never change

It's the same old song - The same old song

That's playing again - The same old song

Don't wanna hear it no more

Time to do this, time to do that

I've got an offer you can't refuse it

Just stick with me and I'll push you all the way to the stars

I can't take it no more - The same old song

Its playing again - The same old song

Don't wanna hear it no more - The same old song

Its playing again and again and again - The same old song

Låt: Please Sister

Artist: The Cardigans

Album: Long gone before daylight

Kommentar: Underbar låt. Lugn och melodisk. Hela albumet är underbart.

Text:

With a sampled heartbeat and a stolen soul

i sold my songs to have my fortune told

and it said: you should know that love will never die

but see how it kills you in the blink of an eye

I know of love as a hot white light

that knocks you down and then leaves you dry

oh, how can it be, sweet mama tell me why

why all love's disciples have to wither and die

Please sister help me, come on, do what you should

please give me something, i'm not doing so good

i'm gone, done wrong, is there nothing you can say?

please sister help me i'm not feeling OK

Give me belief that my time will come

and a toll-free helpline if i find someone

but she said: you gave away what you never really had

and now your purse is empty i can see why you're sad

Oh, please sister help me, come on, do what you should

please give me something, i'm not doing so good

i'm gone, done wrong, is there nothing you can say?

please sister help me can you make me feel OK?

So if it's true that love will never die

then why do the lovers work so hard to stay alive?

please..

Please sister help me

Please give me something

Oh, please sister, you know i do what i can

oh sweet mama, please just send me a man

'cause i'm gone, gone is there nothing you can give?

please sister help me, i just need some love to live

Just a little love to live

and a little love to sing

Låt: Reach for the sky

Artist: Social distortion

Album: Sex, Love and Rock'n'roll

Text

When I was young I was invincible

I found myself not thinking twice

I never thought about no future

It's just a roll of the dice

But the day may come when you've got something to lose

And just when you think you're done paying dues

You say to yourself "Dear, God What have I Done?"

And hope its not to late cause tomorrow may never come

Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come

Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come

Yesterday is history

And tomorrow is a mystery

But I'm leaving right now

It's just about how its you and me

You can run you can hide

Just like Bonnie and Clyde

Reach for the sky

I ain't never gonna die

And I thank the Lord for the love that I have found

And hold you tight cause tomorrow may never come

Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come

Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come

So if you please take this moment

Try if you can to make it last

Don't think about no future

And just forget about the past

And make it last

Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come

(reach for the sky I ain't never going down)

Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come

(reach for the sky I ain't never coming down)

Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come

(reach for the sky I ain't never going down)
