The Earth spins 'round while the people fall down

Lisa Germano - From a Shell (de Underworld OST, 2003)





And the Earth spins 'round while the people fall down
And the world stands still, not a sound, not a sound
There is love, there is love to be found
In the worst way, in the worst way, in the worst way

It's the buzz, it's the buzz, it's the buzz
It's the buzz, it's the buzz, I wish I was
It's the buzz, it's the buzz, it's the most fun

From a little shell at the bottom of the sea
With the Earth and the Moon and the Sun above me
But the world fell down with some people still around
There is love, there is love to be found

With the gods all gone and the souls making sounds
In the worst way, in the worst way, in the worst way

It's the buzz, it's the buzz, it's the buzz
It's the buzz, it's the buzz, I wish I was
It's the buzz, it's the buzz, it's the most fun

From a little shell at the bottom of the sea
With the Earth and the Moon and the Sun around me
There is love, there is love, there is love

It's a buzz, it's a buzz, it's a buzz
It's the buzz, it's the buzz, I wish I was
It's a buzz, it's a buzz, it's a buzz

Velha Página (Olavo Bilac, Poesias)

Chove. Que mágoa lá fora!
Que mágoa! Embruscam-se os ares
Sobre este rio que chora
Velhos e eternos pesares.

E sinto o que a terra sente
E a tristeza que diviso,
Eu, de teus olhos ausente,
Ausente de teu sorriso...

As asas loucas abrindo,
Meus versos, num longo anseio,
Morrerão, sem que, sorrindo,
Possa acolhê-los teu seio!

Ah! quem mandou que fizesses
Minh'alma da tua escrava,
E ouvisses as minhas preces,
Chorando como eu chorava?

Por que é que um dia me ouviste,
Tão pálida e alvoroçada,
E, como quem ama, triste,
Como quem ama, calada?

Tu tens um nome celeste...
Quem é do céu é sensível!
Por que é que me não disseste
Toda a verdade terrível?

Por que, fugindo impiedosa,
Desertas o nosso ninho?
- Era tão bela esta rosa!...
Já me tardava este espinho!

Fora melhor, porventura,
Ficar no antigo degredo
Que conhecer a ventura
Para perdê-la tão cedo!

Por que me ouviste, enxugando
O pranto das minhas faces?
Viste que eu vinha chorando...
Antes assim me deixasses!

Antes! Menor me seria
O sofrimento, querida!
Antes! a mão que alivia
A dor, e cura a ferida,

Não deve depois, tranqüila,
Vendo sufocada a mágoa,
Encher de sangue a pupila
Que já vira cheia de água...

Mas junto a mim que te falta?
Que glória maior te chama?
Não sei de glória mais alta
Do que a glória de quem ama!

Talvez te chame a riqueza...
Despreza-a, beija-me, e fica!
Verás que assim, com certeza,
Não há quem seja mais rica!

Como é que quebras os laços
Com que prendi o universo,
Entre os nossos quatro braços,
Na jaula azul do meu verso?

Como hei de eu, de hoje em diante,
Viver, depois que partires?
Como queres tu que eu cante
No dia em que não me ouvires?

Tem pena de mim! tem pena
De alma tão fraca! Como há de
Minh'alma, que é tão pequena,
Poder com tanta saudade?!

And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself-Well...How did I get here ?

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

And you may ask yourself
How do I work this ?
And you may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile ?
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house !
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife !
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...

Water dissolving...and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Carry the water at the bottom of the ocean
Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean !

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/in the silent water
Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground.

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

And you may ask yourself
What is that beautiful house ?
And you may ask yourself
Where does that highway go ?
And you may ask yourself
Am I right ?...Am I wrong ?
And you may tell yourself
MY GOD !...WHAT HAVE I DONE ?

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/in the silent water
Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground.

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
